Quickdrabbles Fic 36: Focused on what I could attract...

You made a pact, you dropped the act, you focused on what you could attract...

Meh, I'm feeling somewhat written out - I am working on a wedding story (a separate story
from the one on which I'm collaborating with the fabulous [livejournal.com profile] frackin_sweet), and it's not going too well - and I want to start on this cracky R possibly-canon, possibly-AU bordello fic, and my guitars-by-gaslight AUbigbang, but I have just no impetus.

And I'm in Court this afternoon, WOE.

As a way of importuning the Muses, I thought I might try the drabbular method recently employed by [livejournal.com profile] timeisgone, [livejournal.com profile] kissesblow, [livejournal.com profile] orochi_kitty and [livejournal.com profile] otherbella.

Hundred word drabbles, snatches of story, any Cook, Anthemic, AIS7 pairing; crossovers with X-Men, BtVS/AtS, Discworld, Holmes, The Law. I think I have a tiny legalesque Cook/Ryan Seacrest somewhere! I'll even write you self-insert (of you). Leave me a prompt (word, song, whatever) and rating. Will turn around fast, so as to importune quickly XD

Hey chiquita, it's been awhile, how are you? I never eljay anymore, but then you wanted us to say what we wanted, so hey.

As for that... well pretty much anything you write works for me. But SINCE you asked:

Ditto on the David/Andrew/Archie thing... Hot. Weird. Hot. Yes, write more.

I'm TOTALLY obsessed with David Cook/Simon Cowell fic right now. Don't know if you have followed this fic by lowlyandunholy at all -- it has seriously consumed me:
http://community.livejournal.com/tulsa_gangstas/353212.html

So yeah, she just finished it, and I'm like David/Simon, someone?

And X-men fic? Yes, please!




[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-20 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Chiquita! I miss you SO much. I hope the studying is going well! Do drop by to say hello. I know, I know, I must be writing insufficient porn to keep you happy XDDD

Okay, Cook/Cowell, coming right up!

[identity profile] amccoy1972.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, more porn please! You are not writing enough. JUST KIDDING.

Well actually I'm not kidding, the world can ALWAYS have more porn from you.

That said I did read your David/Carrie/David/Kris Allen fic and I ADORED it, I'm literally just too busy to comment. Life went from total complacency to high-speed recently (short version: my family is moving to London, my husband is going to be managing his company's office over there, we're selling our house, he leaves in two weeks and I follow him in June, fuck me) and I don't even have time to read porn. Though I will MAKE time to read Cook/Cowell porn, especially Cook/Cowell porn that you write for MEEEEEEEEE!

Got an A in the class. Seriously don't know HOW, but that's okay with me!

Oh and one last thing: "Interlude" is SWEET. The first paragraph alone! I can practically SMELL NEAL'S SWEAT while I sit here typing. So good.

How are you?

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-21 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
oo, I think David/Kris Allen is my new ship ;)

You sound so so busy, hon! A move to London sounds awesome, and actually makes it that much more likely we might actually meet, because I am out there for work a lot. It's a real bugger now, but when you are all moved and settled in everything will be amazing. The museums, the musicals, so much for the kidlets to do, seriously :D

AN "A"! GO YOU XDDDD

And, I'm not sure whether I'm up to Cook/Cowell R, but I am definitely planning on making some form of, er, romantic activity. I will link you to nasty cestuous threesomeing, when it occurs - some of us are considering setting up a safe community for our cesty needs ;)

I'm good! January has been slower, work wise, but things heating up very shortly.

As I catch up on eljay...
yo for nasty cesty community! Yes please.

Spin [R] - Part 1

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-22 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
AMY, IDEK ANYMORE

Dave's the one who discovers the game: the bottle, the huddled throng of seniors and juniors in the common room after hours.

There's Chris, the school quarterback; he's got a hand knotted in the tie of one of the youngsters, and he's doing his best to suck the kid's face off as the others cheer him on.

Dave feels the hot flush of blood in his ears; he'd figured, cool young music master, he'd have a better handle on something like this. Unfortunately, he doesn't - the juniors are under-aged, there's the hooting and hollering aspect of the game he doesn't like, it makes him kind of see red, and he's yelling, "Goddamn it, you guys, break it up now!"

The students look horrified; Chris looks stunned and guilty and lets the junior go. The kid, whose name is Justin, Dave thinks, looks sex-drunk, like he's about to pass out.

Dave would have continued to yell; he's angry enough, and it would have made things worse. Leave it to Simon Cowell, St Joseph's dour English master and former housemaster of elite British boarding school Harrow to take charge of the situation: his acerbic manner actually calms everyone down.

"Right, lads, if you were back in bed five minutes ago, Mr Cook and I might be persuaded to overlook this little incident. Mr Richardson, Mr Garcia, you'll report to my office first thing after breakfast." Simon glares at the group of boys, who all visibly quail before him; the two main perpetrators swaying on their feet. "Now, get the hell out of my sight."

The boys disperse hastily. David realizes his hand is shaking a little, that he's clutching the offending bottle to him, adrenaline shivering through his body.

"Man, boys' prep schools will be the death of me!"

"Ah, this one's not too bad. Boys will be boys, hot-blooded teenagers and all." Simon shrugs as they switch off the common room lights. "Filthy game, though."

It's David's turn to shrug, falling into step with Simon down the corridor. "Typical American high school kissing game. Don't they have this in the UK?"

Simon smirks. He looks like he knows he's pretty hot, and he is, actually, objectively speaking. Dave may or may not have had an eye on him when he first started at St Joseph's two terms ago. They've had a couple of months of polite conversation about British music and films, which had progressed to dinners together after hours; they have an interesting cross-Atlantic exchange going on that stays on the right side of flirtatious, but only just.

Without knowing exactly why, Dave follows Simon into his office. The adrenaline's still burning across his senses.

"British lads don't need any games as an excuse to kiss each other, that's what broom closets are for." Simon perches on his desk, nods to the bottle in Dave's clasp. "So how do you play this one, then?"

"Spin the bottle? Not complex. Spinner spins, like so -" Dave puts the bottle on Simon's desk and gives it a healthy spin - "and the person whom the bottle top points to gets to be the one..."

He trails off; Simon is looking at him with cloudy eyes. The bottle rattles to a halt, pointing directly at Simon.

"...The one who gets to kiss him?" Simon supplies helpfully. His voice has taken on a low, raspy timbre.

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-22 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Dave swallows. "Yeah, something like that. Not rocket science."

"You mean, something like this?" Simon takes hold of David's collar. His wide, sardonic mouth moves against David's, a slow slide of wet lips that's gentle and almost gentlemanly.

David's considering whether it's polite to kiss back, when Simon shifts his weight backwards, still gripping David by the collar.

David slides against him, pressing him against his desk, and suddenly the kiss is substantially less chaste, David clutching at Simon's shirt, his lips opening up under Simon's, and he shivers, feeling the sweep of tongue in his mouth, deep and sure and taking, the warmth of Simon's body under his.

It's a long burn that makes David want things he's never even thought of from Simon, makes him shiver hotly as Simon kisses him like he craves nothing but him.

In the end, Simon eases off, draws himself away, trailing brief, biting kisses against David's swollen mouth. David moans a little when Simon slides from under him, adjusting his clothing and running an elegant hand through his hair.

Simon smiles when Dave tries to reach for him again, rubs a thumb over Dave's wet lower lip. "Steady, David," he says, not unkindly.

"What kind of fucking thing to say is, 'Steady'?" Dave wants to know, breathing fast. "Over here, you don't just kiss a guy like that and pull off, not unless you really mean to tease."

Simon raises an amused eyebrow as he wipes his own mouth with the back of his hand. "Don't mean to tease," he murmurs. "Don't think I can blame my British sense of humor, either, can I?"

"Not unless you want me to show you my American middle finger." Dave sits back and tries to readjust his own clothes too; it's kind of difficult when you're harder than the Rock of Gibraltar.

"Never one for starting things with a co-worker, is all. Not a good idea, for you as well as me."

Simon's eyes are calm and level, more unruffled than they had any right to be. Dave has no idea what he's doing, what they're both doing, but he knows he needs to get out of Simon's office before he does something he might regret, like pinning Simon across his desk and kissing that sly, teasing smile off his sardonic face.

He needs to stay the fuck away from Simon. That's the ticket, as they say in England. Surely he can manage that.

Wow, I would never have guessed that pairing could ever be hot! <3

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-22 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, me too? But yay!

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] chemicalwonder.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, definitely hot! I don't know what but something about this pairing works. Maybe because they are (seemingly) so different, you know, opposites attract?

Or then it's just you working your magic again. ;D

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-24 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
IDK anymore :D I like their sarcaastic, love-and-hate dynamic - as you say, they're as different as night and day, and all those things are hot! This is weird for me cos I don't actually find Cowell hot IRL, unlike the other individuals who feature in my slash. But I guess slash will make you ship all things!

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] chemicalwonder.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good way to describe it, "sarcastic love&hate dynamic". And I don't find Simon attractive either (although I don't think he's ugly or anything either :D) but he and Cook do make for some hot slash. :D

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
+nods+ it's the opposites thing. Also, DFC is hot like burning and shippable with anyone, I think! At one point in the Declaration Tewer I was gonna ship Cook/mic stand <33333

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] annie2791.livejournal.com 2010-01-24 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Love it :) I'm a fan of Cook/Cowell for sure. If you ever write a part 3, I'll be there :)

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-24 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
I...am so not a fan of Cook/Cowell. Except that the pairing seems to work, in that weird opposites-attract/push-and-pull sort of way. So much so that I might actually write Part 3, atsomestage *mumblemumble*

I LOVE THAT YOU WROTE THIS FOR ME. Seriously girl, I can feel your love, all the way over here in New England. You are so fabulous, shipping smarmy Simon for me.

I totally suck that I'm just now getting back to you -- RL is crazy. We spent this weekend packing, cleaning out the basement, etc... goal is to get the house on the market within the next week or so. Lazy stay-at-home me doesn't even have time to read slash. But THIS! This!

PART 3? Um, YES.

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
HUGS THE CRAP OUT OF YOU. Girl, I am so glad you liked! I enjoyed writing smarmy housemaster Simon, and I enjoy his dynamic with fiery passionate American Dave.

You are so RL busy! If I was getting ready to get the house on the market, I think I'd be dead. BTW, you are not allowed to up and disappear on me, y'hear? My email's jehanejay18 at gmail, STAY IN TOUCH.

Ok, I am totally enchanted. This. TOTALLY works. WHO KNEW??????

Oh yeah. ME XDDDDDD BRITISH SENSE OF HUMOR/AMERICAN MIDDLE FINGER, I ship it like UPS GLOBAL (also, I think you just said a lot about that particular relationship in general, and I don't just mean the one you wrote about!)

Also, I now want to write the entire Simon/Dave relationship pre-FTDF. Not that I have to work on helping finish the fic itself, first. Faiiiiil.

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-27 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Umyeah. It does kinda work, doesn't it? I actually had pre-FTDF in my head the whole time I was writin' it, JS. And, you SO donut fail. <333

And, Brit/American dynamic - I ship it too, and did in fact vaguely intend some kind of cross-Atlantic slash meta message (USA: Wha -? Why are you kissing-? Hey, why are you pulling away? UK: Hm. Maybe this was not such a good idea. USA: BUT I AM HOT! UK: Oh, I know.) when writing. XD

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] evilgeniuslady.livejournal.com 2010-01-29 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the ticket indeed. Even though I find Simon sort of repulsive irl, this pairing works. Only you. Only you, J.

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] jehane-writes.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
IDK, even! I guess I tried to play with the parts of this pairing that works for me - their differences in age and temperament, the love-hate transatlantic dynamic? Thank you, btw <3

Re: Spin [R] - Part 2

[identity profile] evilgeniuslady.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Dynamic pairings mostly work well for me - it's the whole 'opposites attract' thing. It's a huge part of why I love Cookleta so much, and especially Neal/Archie.
