Title: Spontaneous
Notes: Thankyou ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) noteverything for being my beautiful beta! <3333333333333333333333
Condom: Babylon!
He slung his tartan skirt and denim vest over the branch of a tree. He peeled off his socks and shorts, stuffing them into his boots. Wolfen’s slick hands helped him balance and ease himself in. His mind wandered briefly, wondering what Ben, or even Brian, would think if they knew what he was doing.
He shook off his misgivings when he remembered it was Michael whose life was entwined with theirs. Here, he wasn’t Michael. He was Dumpling, and he was free.
Completely in now, he gazed at the clear blue sky, stretched, and luxuriated in the mud bath. |

Notes: Thanks so much to fun_demented for the inspiration, empowerment and motivation and I only wrote it so she won't bash me, you rock! ^__^
Title: Easter Surprise
Condom: Babylon
Emmett frowned at two Easter eggs.
‘Which one says “Drew?”’ he wondered. ‘The Valrhona dark, or the vanilla-seeded organic white?’
They looked equally delicious, so he took both.
Near the checkout, rows of milk chocolate bunnies stood at attention. Emmett had to have one. But as he reached for it, a sinewy hand covered his. He turned around.
‘Drew!’
‘I hope that’s for me.’
Emmett discreetly dumped his shopping basket and paid for one foil covered bucktoothed rabbit. He glanced over his shoulder, quirking a smile at Drew.
‘I’ll let you have the ears, but I get the tail.’ |

| Challenge #147: Quotes |
[Feb. 16th, 2010|10:59 pm] |
Title: The Iliad
Notes: A story about Ted, Troy, revenge and redemption, told in 17 drabbles. S5 AU.
(I hope you know I love Ted/Blake. But this bunny kept marching in my head - to the beat of a different drum! Apologies in advance for any sacrilege.)
Huge thanks to noteverything for hosting the challenge and choosing such wonderful quotes. You inspire me!
Condoms: All 17 for Brian.
I.
After Ted’s surgical wounds healed, his life changed for the better. He was finally one of the beautiful people. In fact, he faced the enviable problem of running out of new guys to fuck.
The gang tried to help. While Ted sweated at the gym to maintain his figure, they engaged in reconnaissance.
‘Six pack, three o’clock,’ hissed Emmett.
‘Had him on Tuesday.’
‘The twink on the tricep dip?’ said Michael.
‘Already dipped him.’
‘There’s an ass I haven’t seen before,’ said Justin, looking over Ted’s shoulder.
Brian glowed with pride. ‘Justin has an amazing feel for the human form.’
( The Iliad, continued. ) |

| Dear Blake: Happy Valentine's Day |
[Feb. 15th, 2010|12:05 am] |
Title: Dear Blake: Happy Valentine's Day
Note: Not part of the challenge
Our friends and their lovers will tread a fine line today. They’ll look for the point where sentimentality doesn’t become saccharine, and sexiness doesn’t turn sleazy.
But I don’t know what we’ll do.
I could cover the bed in rose petals, give you the massage of a lifetime, lie on the floor listening to our song, or go for a walk in the lane where we met.
The difficulty isn’t picking the right thing to do. It’s knowing that as far as you’re concerned, it can’t be wrong.
Being all that you want is the best problem I’ve ever had. |

| Challenge #143: Kiss |
[Jan. 14th, 2010|10:51 am] |
Title: Checking for Fit
Author: wavingcat5
Notes: To my wonderful, switched-on beta, noteverything, a big kiss, and a very big thankyou! ^__^
And the Condom goes to… Daphne
Ethan fits me.
It’s not just that we’re both struggling students and passionate artists who believe in love. Our bodies match too.
When we walk together it’s easy to catch hold of his hand. When we embrace it’s eye to eye, heart to heart, cock to cock. It’s perfect.
Except for the kissing.
He kisses me in snatched bites. Hungry for me but not slowing down enough to taste. He moves in too soon, and pulls away too quickly.
I’m sure we’ll be able to work it out, with enough time, enough love.
And, after all, there are other things. |

Prompts: New Year's Day ; New Year's Eve; Silent Night
Notes: Pre-season 1. 5 drabbles. No beta, like all of them I've done so far - no time as the challenge is nearly over! It has been so much fun to be a part of this, both reading and writing. Thankyou so much to Xie and the others who made it happen, the other writers for that great feeling of having someone to play with, and those who read and encouraged me, a total fandom virgin. May this be your best year yet! Mwah, mwah, mwah ^__^~

Title: Firebug
Author: wavingcat5
Prompt: Fireplace
Note: Coming into bushfire season here. This is not intended to trivialise those who lost their homes and lives last summer; rather, those events keep creeping into my thoughts, however indirectly.
‘Shoe brush’ says Brian, glancing at my latest thrift store find. ‘Fire brigade-issue. That’s what the F and B stand for.’
‘Thanks. I never would have guessed that on my own.’ We kiss. Life is sweet now, thanks to Brian Kinney. Who’d have thought?
I notice the initials on the brush aren’t stamped. They’re burnt into the wood. It’s a paradox. Fire department marks its property with fire?
I walk in later to find him fucking some guy and I’m scorched.
I’ve heard sometimes a firefighter is also a firebug.
When I come back, Brian is polishing my shoes. |

Title: Safe
Author:wavingcat5
Prompt: Joy to the world
Now I let Brian see me scared. To tell you the truth it brings out the best in him. I’ve never seen him so natural as when he’s protecting me, helping me recover, and making me believe I can.
He still clowns his way out of affection. ‘You know how much I love sex in public places’.
The last four words roll off his tongue too easily, too strategically. I think of the first six and the way he kissed me before he said them. They make me feel safe. The world is carrying me and I float on home. |

Title: Moment of Clarity
Author: wavingcat5
Prompt: Stuffed
Notes: It's almost the Silly Season in Australia.
Ted had run out of Claratyne. The drugstore was closed.
He went to Emmett's despite his stuffed sinus. But Emmett's Persian cat loved laps. Ted's inner ear began itching.
Ted drank to forget. He proved allergic to the preservatives in the wine. His eyelids swelled.
Ted prayed in the bathroom. Tiphini entered, sacrilegiously regurgitating a furball.
'I'm leaving, Emmett. I can't pat pussy anymore'.
'But that's not who you are. You love cats!'
'I made a promise to God. If He never deprives me of effective antihistamines again, I'll never expose myself to known allergens.'
Ted had seen the light. |

Title: Pickup
Author: wavingcat5
Prompt: Thanksgiving Day
Notes: My first go at fiction anything in 12 years, so instead of dreaming something new up I've started simple with my picture of a scene I love. I hope you don't mind :)
He takes what he wants. But he also gives - and doesn't ask for acknowledgement.
I can learn from him. I can help without saying a word. I don't need to be told I'm brave or clever. That asshole's promise to lay off Brian is enough.
Brian's relief is palpable. He dances with me, uncharacteristically friendly. He can't know it was my doing, but his new warmth and openness say 'Thankyou' to the universe, anyone, me. He picks up my shirt as I almost lose it on the crowded floor. A chivalrous moment - but today, I'm the knight in shining armour. |
