Thursday: On Vacation

[neshel.livejournal.com]

My last day... *pout* I shall have to come up with some crazy themes and do this again!

Today's theme is On Vacation.

After yesterday's insanity, our characters really need a break. What do they do to get away from their normal lives?

Please think about our wonderful codemonkeys and use the correct format (the second is for crossovers).

Fandom, Pairing, Prompt
Fandom1/Fandom2, Pairing, Prompt

Firefly, River, Building sand-castles on the beach
Torchwood/Heroes, Jack/Ianto/Gabriel, A broken stopwatch spoils half their vacation plans

Please remember not to post more than 5 prompts in a row and more than 3 prompts per fandom. If one or more of your prompts are answered, you can prompt again later in the day.

If you don't see anything you like, you can always Adopt a Lonely Prompt.

Dollhouse, Adelle/Claire, somewhere warm

"I'm still confused," Claire confesses as Adelle leads her out onto the back deck, leaning against the railing and looking out to the ocean. "Is it really a vacation if we barely leave the city?"

Adelle can only smile, moving to stand next to her. "A vacation isn't about going far, it's about taking a break. And you said you wanted to go somewhere warm. It's warm here."

"I said that because I figured you'd want to go some place like Hawai'i," the doctor mumbles, watching the waves break against the rocks.

"And that's exactly why I brought you here. You said that because you thought that's what I wanted to do, but I don't think you really wanted to go very far. Besides, I love spending time here. It will be even better with you."

Claire looks up in confusion, studying the other woman's face instead of the waves. "You've been here before?"

Adelle chuckles, but keeps her eyes on the horizon. "Of course I have. This is my house."

The doctor's surprise quickly gives in to worry. "Adelle! What kind of vacation is it for you if this is your home?"

Adelle turn her head with a raised eyebrow and a hint of a smirk. "I said it's my house, Claire. Just because I own it doesn't make it my home. If any place is home it's the Dollhouse, I hardly ever get to be here." She pauses, turning her body fully towards the other woman and leaning forward. "Besides, like I already told you, it's about taking a break. I just want to spend time with you."

She smiles then, full of sincerity, and Claire wraps her arms around her waist to pull her close. "If you say so," she says, sighing against her neck.

"I do." Adelle pulls back, punctuating her words with a short kiss before embracing the doctor again. She looks around, memories of the place flooding back to her, before quietly adding, "Besides, you're already the best thing that's ever happened to me here."

Aww! This is very sweet, especially the bit about Claire being the best thing to happen there. Thank you!

Of course, this made me imagine Claire in Victor's place during 1x09 and now I won't get anything done all afternoon thanks to the hotness. XD

Oh, I was definitely imagining that myself. The world needs more Adelle/Claire fencing porn. XD Because sadly the world cannot share my brain, where there is plenty of it floating around.

"Where do you want to go?" Claire asks, leafing through a vacation guide as she sits on the couch in Adelle's office. "Italy? Spain? There's a whole section on the highlights of Iceland."

The older woman isn't paying a whole lot of attention, lounging next to the doctor with a wine glass in her hand. "I don't really like being out in the cold," she states simply, watching as she swirls her drink.

Hearing this, Claire flips to the section on the tropics. "What about Hawai'i then? Or Costa Rica? Or hey, Acapulco sounds nice."

Adelle shakes her head, and takes a sip of her wine. "What are you doing that now for, anyway? Put it down and have a drink."

"Well, you said you wanted to go on vacation. I thought I would help you pick a spot." But she does as she's told anyway, setting down the booklet and pouring herself a glass. As she leans back, Adelle leans in toward her. "Where would you want to go?"

Claire's eyes widen. "Oh, I wouldn't want to go anywhere. A vacation wouldn't be a good thing for me. So far away from home and alone? No, I'd rather just stay here."

Adelle's head is resting against her shoulder now, and she feels the vibrations of the woman's laugh against her skin. "What ever are you on about? When I said I wanted to go on a vacation, I meant with you." She looks up to Claire, amusement growing as the doctor's eyes widen even further. "Me? Go on a vacation with you? Are we even allowed to do that?"

Adelle sits up again, taking another sip from her glass. "Honestly, Claire, who is going to stop us?"

The doctor takes the first drink of her own wine as she thinks. "I don't know. I guess I just never thought about it as an option."

"Well, it is, and I would love to go somewhere with you."

Her boss finishes her wine and smiles, truly meaning her words, and Claire can't help but smile back as she considers the idea. "Somewhere warm, you said?" she finally asks.

Adelle pours herself a third glass, mood already light from her first two, and chuckles. "I never said that."

"You said you didn't like being out in the cold."

Her boss sets her glass on the table and turns back to Claire, moving close enough that she's practically on her lap. "That I did say. I'd much rather be indoors, in bed, if it's cold outside." She leans in and presses a kiss against her partner's neck, trailing her lips along her skin as Claire sighs and melts into the touch. The younger woman carefully sets her glass down to be forgotten as she slips her hands up the back of Adelle's shirt. She kisses her way up her jaw, finally ending at her partner's lips.

"You know," Claire murmurs through their light kisses, "I've always wanted to see the northern lights."
