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

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

timeisgone,

kissesblow,

orochi_kitty and

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

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

Actually, me too? But yay!

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

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!

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

+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

Exactly! DFC is so effing shippable it's not even funny. :D I mean, I totally ship him and his mic stand, sometimes it gets to intense those two should get a room. xD

But I think we've nailed the reasons why Cook/Cowell works. I think also the age difference plays a part in it, it brings this sort of "forbidden" aspect to it. And because Cook is so young, hot and passionate and Cowell is older, calm and collected, I can sorta see why he would lust after someone like Cook. And the tension it creates is hot and intriguing.

Gosh, I never realized I was this deep into this ship. xD

Oh! Love it :) I'm a fan of Cook/Cowell for sure. If you ever write a part 3, I'll be there :)

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'd like a Spin-Part3 pretty please? This was really good. <3

Thank you, bb! I seem to be reaping the benefits of

lowlyandunholy's epic Cook/Cowell fic ;)

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.

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.

GIRL, we are so getting together when I move to London. 'Cuz you fly there all the time (right?). amccoy1972@yahoo.com.

I do! I do fly up at least once a year! So we are totally getting together. Man, best of luck with the move etc! <333

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.

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

That's the ticket indeed. Even though I find Simon sort of repulsive irl, this pairing works. Only you. Only you, J.

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

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.

I know you like the opposites attract thing, hon - me too, now! <3
