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!

Theme=temptation

Leverage, Eliot/Hardison/Parker, they all have the temptation to run away and face the world alone again but if they ever give in to temptation they now have someone to drag them back.

Eliot limps to his door.

He wasn't used to limping any more. He had gotten used to having more contingency plans and a hell of a lot more backup.

He had gone soft. It was good that he was back in action, then.

Even if he really wasn't used to limping any more.

But as he opened the door he realized that something wasn't right. And he grabbed his knife from his boot as he crouched to the floor and went for cover behind the counter.

But then he heard a voice.

An annoying voice.

"I told you we should have called!"

"The man doesn't have a phone! Should I have sent a passenger pigeon?"

"Oh sure, NOW you think of the cool pigeon idea!"

"Passenger pigeons are not cool, Parker! For one thing, they're extinct, and if you're extinct, then by definition you have ceased to be cool. Also, they are pigeons. Which are like rodents - nasty flying poop machines. They're the rats of the air."

"That's dumb. Everyone knows flying squirrels are the rats of the air. And also, why did they go extinct?"

"Oh, that's a sad story, actually. See, they need a special plant to survive which can only be grown in light that passes through a lens made of the Caruvian Ruby that belonged to Queen Cristina. And when someone stole that a few years back, no more special light, no more plants, no more passenger pigeons."

"But I - I - do you mean it's my fault Hardison?"

Hardison burst out laughing, but his laughs were interrupted by a grunt as Eliot recognized the sound of Parker punching him.

Eliot stood. He did his best to look stern. He in now way revealed with his expression how ridiculous the two looked bickering in the back corner as they stood beneath a big multi-hued banner. But when he saw that the banner said, in large block letters, "Surprise! And please see who we are before you indiscriminately hit us!", Eliot broke down and started laughing.

"What did I tell you?" Hardison said, "I told you he would be glad to see us!"

Parker ran over and jumped in Eliot's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist. "You totally missed us," she said and looked expectantly at him for confirmation. He gave it by planting a long kiss on her lips, and giving a light grunt of pleasure as their lips parted. Hardison had walked over to them by then and was eager to take his turn also, as Parker released Eliot with her legs but stayed close so she could see the two men come together above her.

Eliot looked at the two of them, flushed and eager and turned on. But they were expecting something from him, and he knew it was a lot more than a good night.

"We're here to drag you back," Hardison said, and then added with a smile, "By force, if we have to. We'll drag you back kicking and screaming if that 's what it takes."

"Let's drag him by the hair," Parker said with a smile.

Eliot on instinct did a quick dodge to move his head out of Parker's reach. But he looked at their faces and he knew that the lure of his old life had some tough competition. So he just said, "Thanks for coming to get me."

"You did the same for each of us once," Hardison said.

"More than once," Eliot said, "Seriously, you guys are the biggest pains in the ass I've ever met."

"Awww!" Parker said, touched by his comment, "That's Eliot for 'I love you!'"

Eliot rolled his eyes and brought both of them into a big embrace. He didn't like to admit it in words when Parker was right.

awww, this is so cute. I love the bickering, it is so in character! And I giggled at Parker's 'drag him by his hair' comment. And I LOVE the ending. They really do all love eachother (even if they can't say it or have to say it sarcastically :P) Thanks so much for writing this!

Loved the whole pigeon exchange between Parker and Hardison, "no more special light, no more plants,..."

[timeasmymeasure.livejournal.com]

Lovely read =D

Daaaawwwwww. They came for him! Of course they came from him. Very sweet and the banter was perfect :D

[scout-lover.livejournal.com]

I love this! Of course they go after each other!

I love the sign, the pigeons (poor Parker; is she not crazy enough? do they seriously need to mess with her like that? *g*), but my favorite line has to be, "Awww!" Parker said, touched by his comment, "That's Eliot for 'I love you!'" It is. It really is. Sweet nothings as only these three can manage, lol.
