Monday - Temptation Day

[ravensword.livejournal.com]

Greetings folks!

I'm running in to pinch hit while we work out a transatlantic glitch.

Today I'd like to play with Temptation as our theme...

Seduction, the fall from grace, the slippery slope into damnation, the road to hell paved with good intentions...as innocent as enticing someone to skip school or go along with a prank...as dark and twisted as seducing an angel to fall...and everything in between...


Make the code monkeys happy and formulate your prompts properly:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Faith/Willow, "Want, Take, Have"
Supernatural/Leverage, Eliot/Castiel, not everything is so black and white
RPS, Jared/JDM, subtle isn't really his strong suit

As always, follow the rules: No more than 3 prompts per fandom, no more than 5 in a row...come back and prompt more once some of yours are answered.

Go out and rock this monday!

Heroes, Sylar/Claire, Just this once

[trillianastra.livejournal.com]

Through the noise of the club, Claire heard his voice murmur her name, and shut her eyes, trying to will him away, and her hands clenched into fists almost by reflex. She felt him touch her shoulder lightly.

“Oh, Claire… still so frightened, so… angry…” she could practically hear the slight, mocking smile in his voice. “You need to learn how to relax,” he added.

“I’m not afraid of you,” she retorted through gritted teeth.

“Oh? Then… why aren’t you looking at me?”

She spun around, eyes open, glaring at him. “Yeah, still not afraid of you.”

He grinned. “I know you’re not afraid of me,” he said as he moved closer. “You’re afraid of what you feel when you look at me.”

“I am not!”

“Uh-uh. I know when you’re lying, remember?”

Claire’s gaze dropped to the floor for a moment. “I don’t… all I want, is to kill you. That’s it.”

“I know,” he looked at her curiously, “but you’ve thought about it, haven’t you? When you’re alone… thinking about touching me…” he reached out, touching her cheek lightly. She shuddered a little at his touch.

“…No.”

“Really? All this time we’ve been chasing each other around the planet, you’ve never wondered what it would be like, not even once? I’m disappointed, Claire.”

“I…” She wanted to say ‘No’, wanted to push him away. But somehow, he was right. There had been moments when she’d found herself wondering what it would be like to be with him. She’d never really admitted it, even to herself, but it was true. She swallowed, and said softly, “You’re right.”

He laughed. “I knew you couldn’t hold out much longer. We could be good together, Claire. We could do anything, have anything that we want. We wouldn’t have to hide. Doesn’t sound so bad, does it?”

It didn’t. It sounded good. But she knew what he’d done, all those people he’d killed. She didn’t know if she’d be able to get past that.

“…no. No, it doesn’t sound so bad.”
“So what’s stopping you?”

“You kill people.”

“Not everyone. Not you. Never you.”

“I… I shouldn’t.”

“Why? Because Daddy wouldn’t like it? You still tell him everything?”

“Shut up.”

“Looks like I touched a nerve.”

“You don’t know my family.”

“No, but then I don’t really want to. I know you, though. I’m serious. What’s stopping you?”

She hesitated. His past aside, what was there? She was sure there was a reason, but she couldn’t think of what it was right now. He stroked her face gently, letting his fingers trail down her body. “Can’t think of anything, can you?”

She wanted to say something, but couldn’t find the words. Instead she just shook her head. And then, looking up at him, feeling his touch on her skin, she thought Just this once, took a breath, and said, “Kiss me?”

“I thought you’d never ask,” he murmured as he pulled her closer and kissed her.
