I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't even like Harry/Hermione... (except for when I do)
Sentence drabbles, what else? I did promise, after all.
H/Hr, because... I don't know, really. It was in my head (Reading
fabularasa might've had something to do with it). And some H/D, too, 'cause... well, it was also in my head. And, because I like to make people happy. ;)
Harry Potter
1) Hermione runs her fingers through untidy strands of hair, lightly traces the puckered outline of a scar, and she reminds herself that black is really no worse than red, that emerald green is just as good as baby blue.
2) Nemesis: that was the only way he'd describe Potter... but was there ever, Draco thought, a sexier word?
3) When her fingers are stained with ink, hair rumpled and uniform askew, when there's shadows under her eyes from studying all night — those are the moments when she's truly Hermione; those are the ones Harry finds most beautiful of all.
Now, should I add some non-HP ones for the other half of my f'list? Guess I ought to, if I expect more than one person to actually read these... Besides, I'd promised to do PotC ones too, didn't I?
Angel
Abusive fathers aren't the only thing Angel and Wesley have in common.
Pirates of the Caribbean
(One of these is for
drbillbongo, who is a doll and whom I really hope to see on AIM again soon!)
1) Some would say it is impossible to fall in love at eleven; but if that's true, Will thinks he must have loved this girl since before he was born.
2) He was used to it by now: his two lieutenants both so full of ambition, constantly vying for his approval... but there were times like these, if only mere moments, when Norrington wondered whether it was simply his approval Groves and Gillette were vying for.
3) By morning James found himself no longer able to close his mouth properly, as if at some point in the night his jaw had come unhinged; that or his sanity, evidenced by the fact that it was Jack Sparrow he could still taste down his throat.
Now, just to make things a little interesting...
I don't know if anyone will want to do this, but I thought it might be fun: give me up to three characters/pairings (as long as the characters aren't too obscure), and I will try to write a sentence drabble for each next time I do these. Feel free to ask for the same thing as someone else, in which case I'll do more than one. The fandoms you can choose from are BtVS/Angel, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lost, Everwood, Desperate Housewives, and Joan of Arcadia.
Please don't ask if you're not gonna give feedback, though — it's only fair. :)

Comments
HP
1) Hmm... Now this one brings a few things to mind. Makes me think either post-war and Ron's died, so Hermione goes to Harry - or, Ron's found someone else and Hermione is trying to work past it. In either case, to me it sort of implies R/Hr in one way or another, with Hermione settling for Harry.
2) Hee :) A sexy word, indeed... And I can just see Draco's evil little leer at the end, there.
3) Now this one if pure H/Hr. The imagery is very pretty, even if I'm not fond of the pairing.
Angel
1) Ooo - amazing how much can be said in so few words, eh?
PotC
1) Awww...
2) Oh reaaallly... Interesting.
3) Lol - lockjaw! Ha! That's what he gets for being so enthusiatic the night before ;)
As for the requests - you know what I like ;) Although... If I might suggest another fandom - have you ever thought of trying a little QAF? Just a suggestion, mind, but it'd be interesting to see what you could do with B/J in a sentence ;)
and also... oh! amused!brianface! *squeek*
(i'm such an icon dork tonight...)
*cough* right.
HP1-
yeah... i think ron's dead, probably. it's angstier that way. *hearts teh angst*
of course, when i wrote it, i think i was actually thinking along the lines of hermione starting to go out with harry and then realizing she likes ron (or possibly that ron likes her, if she already liked him but gave up on him), but she doesn't want to hurt harry so she keeps it bottled up and stays with him (sort of an 'oz/willow vs. xander/willow' type deal). of course, harry would be utterly clueless in either scenario. though in the first one he would be feeling the platonic grief for his best friend, obviously -- just not realize that his girlfriend is still in love with him.
damn. now i almost wanna write this...
HP2-
heh. i totally can too. ;)
HP3-
yeah, i really liked how that one came out (even if the pairing's really not one of my favorites either. 90% of the time). i'm glad you did too -- thanks very much for the compliment. *grin*
AtS-
i totally agree: when i can make them really short i feel like those are the most expressive ones. too bad i can't manage it that often... :-\
PotC1-
i guess sometimes i'm a sucker for teh fluffeh canon romance. as long as i don't have to read fic about it. ;P
PotC2-
now, me, i don't really go for either of those (the first reason being that OMG-j/n4evar!!... the second that i'm just not a huge fan of gillette), but i simply had to do it for
besides, this way i can sorta, kinda... almost... say i've written a threesome before.
PotC3-
*snicker*
i can't believe you made me laugh at this. evil.
If I might suggest another fandom - have you ever thought of trying a little QAF? Just a suggestion, mind, but it'd be interesting to see what you could do with B/J in a sentence
silly, i have done QaF (right here) -- you commented on it, even. not b/j, granted, unless of course you want to interpret the justin one that way...
see, i've wanted to do more queer as folk ones, but i feel like my sense of that universe is lacking with only having seen half the first season -- i don't want to end up with something completely contradictory to canon. that's why i didn't include it in the choice of fandoms, this time.
all the more motivation to pull another one of those marathons, though, right? ;)
As for the QAF sentence drabbles - that was ages ago! And you've seen almost the full first season - didn't we stop after the King of Babylon contest last time? That leaves only 2 eps. God, do I ever wish I had the time to sit and have a marathon run again... Maybe after finals?
But yea, you should play with B/J ::nudge, nudge::
mmm. quite so.
but, yeah, i like a lot of her stuff too. (like this one *points*)
anyway, i'm sure we'll find a time when neither one of us is swamped with work to have another marathon night. we must, for the sake of all things gay and pretty!
but seriously. i'm just starting a new semester anyway, so i'd probably better concentrate on work for now. but hopefully when it's good for you it'll work for me too.
And you've seen almost the full first season - didn't we stop after the King of Babylon contest last time? That leaves only 2 eps.
geez. i have no sense of quantity whatsoever. *shakes head*
as for writing more drabbles, though... well, see, there was this one i had about lindsay and brian, that i was just looking at, and then i thought about, er, the stuff you'd said when we were talking about them... and it just made me think how there's still so much i don't know. you know?
i mean, i suppose i could try to think of stuff that doesn't presume anything about things i don't know yet...
Yummy :)
we must, for the sake of all things gay and pretty!
Lol - indeed ;)
i mean, i suppose i could try to think of stuff that doesn't presume anything about things i don't know yet...
Well, you could always use the disclaimer that you've only seen the first season - then have at it. That way, if you do step on any canon-toes, you're not liable ;)
Random question: Have ever actually seen the big ol' prom scene?
(damn, but brian is pretty when he fucks...)
i haven't actually seen the prom scene, per se. i mean, i've seen plenty of shots from it, and i more or less know what happens... but the actual scene itself, no. why do you ask?
anyway, you do have a good point about putting a disclaimer, that's certainly something i could try. i really hadn't thought of that.
MmmmHmmm :)
I asked 'cause I was curious - wasn't sure whether I had asked you before or not. ::shrugs::
and mmm, collarbones...
(i am totally abusing the "small" tag, i know.)
But... I did really like the Angel one. I love that with the background we have on the characters, one sentence like that can have such meaning. That's why I think these sentence drabbles are really neat!
The fandoms you can choose from are BtVS/Angel, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lost, Everwood, Desperate Housewives, and Joan of Arcadia.
::pouts:: No One Tree Hill? I totally would have asked you to do Brooke/Mouth for me! :)
yes, you do.
kidding... you really should, though. watch PotC, i mean. and read harry potter. because, dude, two of the bestest fandoms EVAR. and, um, the canon is quite good too.
oh, plus there's jack davenport. he alone is worth it.

i love you. i mean... *cough* thanks. glad you liked it.
but, yeah, the short ones are always my favorite...
No One Tree Hill? I totally would have asked you to do Brooke/Mouth for me!
i considered it, but was afraid my knowledge of the show was too weak since i'd stopped watching and that people might ask for stuff i couldn't deliver on. that's also why i didn't put gilmore girls -- i wanted to, but there are too many characters i'm not sure i have a handle on.
but i'll totally do a brooke/mouth for you, promise!
but i'll totally do a brooke/mouth for you, promise!
Yay! :)
And if my recommendations are of any use:
Gillette/Groves
Murtogg/Mullroy (the "Dumb & Dumber" lobsters)
Pintel/Ragetti
Somehow I have it for tertiary characters. ;)
may i ask how you got here (since no one who's not on my f'list has commented on these before)? i might hazard a guess that you wondered over from
hes the guys next to spike, his characters name was clem.
why wouldn't i know his character? i watched the show, didn't i?
