so you can *throw* things at me? i don't think so!

I've never done one of these things before, and I'm scared as shit.

So, I'm starting out small. I want to kick the muse into gear (she's being reluctant with a few WIPs) so comment to this post with a pairing and a prompt of any kind and I'll try to give you a few lines and if I'm feeling spry, maybe even a drabble. You guys know my fandoms.

Here's to hoping I don't buckle under the pressure!

(Caveat: No way can I write Juliet or Three... and I think that's it.)

ETA: You guys!!!!

*fires the gummybears of rage at all of you*

Quit it with the crazy crossovers! I might have to send the tickle monster after you!

Leave to you to stump me with the very first request. Dammit. I'll try to think of something. Maybe I can't do this after all. Heheh. Kara and Sawyer I could see. But Kara/Jack? LOL. Okay. *puts on thinking cap*

I'll be back!

Okay Trey, here ya go. It's a little gen, but trust me, stuff happened! Hehehe.



There's a look in Jack's eyes when he asks Kara to help him carry the gear from the beach. They always end up back at her crash site.

The funny thing is, she knows it's not that he doesn't believe her, can tell when he looks in her eyes that he believes every word that falls from her lips--dry and cracked in this heat, not used to the exposure. He's one of those guys, guys like Lee; earnest to a fault, and trusting--too trusting. Maybe it's why she likes him.

"I've said it before," she tells him. "Crash landed here like everybody else. Just like you."

"But you're not from here," he says more than asks. Here, meaning Earth. Here, meaning this planet - a concept foreign to him. He pulls back the tarp to expose the nose of her crumpled viper.

"No, not here." She'll say it again and again and again until it sinks in, until he understands.

-


One evening after dark he finds her at the site, alone with a flashlight.

"I swear to the gods," she says. "I can fix it, I just need some spare parts, and maybe some fuel."

"Right," he says. "Gotta get back to the fleet." His voice is laden with an air of sarcasm that betrays his distrust, his skepticism.

Kara narrows her eyes at him and her fist curls at her side but she doesn't swing. He's kept her secret so far. Who knows what the others would do to her if they knew the truth about who she was, where she came from.

"I could help you find parts," he says off her look. "Tomorrow. We'll talk to Sayid."

-


When it's time for her to go, Jack comes to her that morning. He hands her a small glass jar filled with sand and a little dirt. "Proof," he says.

She smiles and shakes her head. "I won't need it."

Hehehe. That's gotta be the least kara/leoben-like prompt I've ever heard. Okay I'm gonna have to think about this one!

[identity profile] lunar47.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 07:11 am (UTC)(link)

Meep! Okay I'm not too sure about this, it could probably be better but here ya go!



Kara Thrace has always had her share of vices, but food was never one of them. Sex? Booze? Danger? That was another story.

But now, on Earth, her wings hung up for good, she walks in the garden behind the house and picks blueberries off the bushes.

She loves the way they pop in her mouth when they're not too ripe, the sour sweet taste of them, the traces of blue they leave on her lips and fingers, the feel of their fallen comrades squishing beneath her bare feet, leaving marks on the wooden steps of the back deck when she goes in for the night.

It's the one thing she indulges in.

Leoben smiles, chopping vegetables at the counter. "You keep that up there won't be any left for pie."

"Keep what up?" she says innocently and laughs when he reaches for her hand, kissing the stains on her fingertips.

"You used to be a better liar," he says. But that's not really true. Kara's still an expert storyteller, perhaps with everybody save for Leoben. Because now, they live in secret, and they both tell lies daily. They have to. They'd be dead otherwise.

During the day they drive the hour into town, shop for groceries and pretend that they're just like everybody else. But at night, back at their house, when they make love, they look at each other and know exactly who they are.

Kara/Sam. I warned you not to trust me.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
:D Thanks!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Poor Kara. She totally needs it! Hehehe. I'm glad you liked it Trey! Thanks for the unusual prompt!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
A bit darker than I thought at first. Um, sorry? Hehehe. I hope you like.


Kara's never seen herself more clearly than she does in the mirror in the bathroom where Leoben keeps her on New Caprica.

"This is who you are," she tells herself. Meaning, weak. Meaning, helpless.

Leoben tells her she is strong, tells her she is more than she could ever dream, and the truth is that Kara wants to believe him.

She puts up walls at first, walls she doesn't even have to really construct. They're just there, a part of her makeup. But then he starts to break them down, brick by brick. Kara wants to hate him for that. But instead she starts to see exactly what he sees. She starts to believe.

"Don't you see?" he asks her. "Why don't you see?"

She looks at him, touches his face, and tells him, "I do see, Leoben. I do." And then she stabs him through the heart for the first time.

So afraid is she, of her own reflection.

Heh, I'm gonna have to look that up! Tomorrow! Great pairing though!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Tomorrow! Intriguing! I'll see what I can come up with! ;)

[identity profile] lunar47.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
HEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! loved it. And not only were there blueberries but pie as well. the Leoben in my pie drabble will be pleased.

[identity profile] lunar47.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
that was dark but very good. sad that she truly sees what leoben's been trying to get her to realize and then she kills him.

Tory/Kara (or Tory, Kara) and "eyeteeth".

Dean/Jo, You're looking pretty wasted.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you just say... eyeteeth... ?

*scratches head*

Huh?

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, Trey came up with the pairing. Haha. But thank you! :D

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-04-09 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally thought that after I read your Leoben/pie drabble hahaha. Wow that sounds dirty. They should make a mov.... wait... hehehe.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. It's a lot more domestic than I've ever seen them. But I think it works in a way. They go out to the country, away from prying eyes, pretend to be this normal reclusive, cylon/human couple...
