All drabbles are what I'd call tame, with no explicit sexual content or other inappropriate material - after all, I'm writing these things on my office computer at work! ;)

The first drabble of the day belongs to [livejournal.com profile] nekokoban, who requested "Full Metal Alchemist - the gimp brigade and miniskirts." I apologize for making up a holiday.

Constitution Day, celebrated throughout the civilian population as a great excuse for outdoor parades, barbecues, and concerts, was a much more low-key affair within the military buildings of the capitol, but most people found ways of nodding to the traditions despite being stuck in the office. Edward Elric had made a festive sparkler of Havoc's morning cigarette, and then been chased across the building by Colonel Mustang's equally festive fireballs after a snide remark.

Riza Hawkeye's contribution won the most approval, however. No one knew where she'd found a miniskirt exactly matching military colors and cloth, but no one complained.


Next, [livejournal.com profile] lennaofmidearth's request: "X-Files, Mulder/Krycek involving garter belts."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Mulder’s gun was up before he’d fully recognized the man before him.

"I could ask the same." Krycek lounged, all boneless grace and an irritating smile on Scully's immaculate white couch.

"Get out," Mulder growled. "Scully doesn’t want you lurking in her apartment waiting for her.”

“Who said I was waiting for her?”

“Out before I shoot you.”

Krycek stood slowly, eyeing Mulder with an amused grin. “Souvenir, Spooky?” He held out his hand, a black satin garter belt sprawled across it like a lace-trimmed viper. “Drop the gun and it’s all yours.”

At least you didn't refer to "Funky Winkerbeans"

Indeed. I'll have to police my random references, from now on. ;)

Thank you! I know that wasn't easy for you, but it was great. I can just see it too. Hehe.

Hey, that's why I do the drabbles - they get me out of my cozy little comfort zone and make me stretch a little bit. And it was fun trying to write Krycek! I haven't seen an episode with him in it in years, but he's just such a unique character.

I love the first one. All the guys checking her out, and then running like hell for fear of being shot. XD (And I love the bit on Ed and Roy's interaction. "Asshole" ... *fireball!*)

Ooooo... yay Krycek. You did a really good job with him and how he's crazy-obsessed-in-love with Mulder and Mulder being clueless as usual. ^_^

Heehee! I could totally see it - Ed just wandering past Havoc and bumping his cig, going into Roy's office... and then coming tearing out at full speed with a fireball right on his heels. *g*

Whee, thank you! I think it's less that Mulder's clueless than that he's doing his best impression of an ostrich, when it comes to Krycek - in properly contradictory Mulder form, in this case he wants very much not to believe!

From: [identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com
Ah. Well, the difference is hard to squeeze into 100 words, but I see it now. I can just hear him thinking "Krycek is not gay and is not gay for me" and it's on repeat. XD

If it is for an icon, then go ahead and use the phrase. ^_^ (I would make you one, but sadly I'm not good enough.)

"Krycek is not checking me out. Krycek is not looking at me like I'm a piece of meat. Krycek did not just try to--" *Grabs gun and shoots at the ratty little bastard.*

...Is it possible Cory Raines is just a masochist? He keeps ending up around all these men who want to blow him up. *g*

*snerks*

Possibly. Man, now I want to watch that episode again. Krycek go boom.

I know, me too. The whole time I was writing Krycek I kept snickering, remembering him as Cory. They really did seem like more or less the same person - seems that Nick Lea only really has one character, and just moves him back and forth from one series to another.

...And that just brings to mind the improbable, yet appealing and slightly frightening mental image of Scully meeting Amanda. God... they'd hate each other. And Amanda'd flirt with Mulder just to piss Scully off. XD

From: [identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com
I know. Did you ever see him on CSI? He was as smarmy as to be expected.

Well, it depends what mood they catch each other in. If Amanda is on a "Duncan is stupid" fest, then they might get along famously. XD

Ah, I just remembered. When did you want to go see "Batman Begins"? I'm really itching to see it and I'd like to get together with people or persons.

No, I didn't. I saw him on something else, at some point, but I can't remember what it was...

Hmm, good point. They could have one hell of a "guys suck" night together. ....oh dear god make the Amanda/Scully crack-bunnies go away, please. XP

Oooo, that's right! Umm.... I have work til 6pm or so tomorrow, and a career fair in Mary Gates on Friday followed by going out with Toby... how's Saturday for you?

From: [identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com
Doesn't matter really, it's just him. It makes me wonder if that's how he really is, or if he'd just gotten type-cast.

*snerk* Yeah, that'd be funny to see. *sets out crack at your feet for the bunnies*

Uh, Saturday evening would be great! (I have a thing that afternoon for my CHID class, sadly.)

I'd imagine that he's typecast. Most of the actors who constantly get cast as baddies are such sweet men in real life! I mean, Jason Isaacs? Totally sweet. Valentine Pelka? Adorable. William B. Davis? Very kind and funny man, from what I've heard. It's so funny!

*Swats hand* Hey, no feeding the bunnies!!! The only bunnies we feed are the ones we want to keep, and there's no way I want that sucker on my conscience! ;)

Is there another time that would be better? I was kind of hoping for matinee, but if nothing else works I'm good with evening. It does seem like it'll be hard to find a matinee that'll fit our schedules. Oh, except maybe Sunday? I would think it would still be playing then...

Davis is a nice guy, which is really weird to think about. Those poor guys. Well, now we just have to find out if Nick Lea is just a nice guy or not.

But, you like it when I feed the bunnies. I mean, whose given you all kinds of good ideas? *puppy eyes*

Okay, it looks like we could catch a 12:30 showing on Sunday! We should be okay for that.

Totally. I read something once about a woman who got into the elevator with him back when the show was still filming in Vancouver, glanced over... glanced over again... glanced over again, each time with an increasing look of shock and panic. I can't remember what happened, but I remember he was very amused while telling the story.

Well, yes. I'm just not sure Scully/Amanda (or Amanda/Scully? I tend to think Scully would be the dominant in that pair) would be something that I'd really... be good at writing.

Awesome, Sunday will be perfect! Do we know if the writing group is meeting on Saturday? If it is, I need to start working a bit harder on my original idea....

Date: 2005-06-23 04:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com
Yeah, I remember something about that.

I don't think that'd really work because Scully, so not gay. I was more thinking friendship of a sort.

Whoo! Uh, no idea. I won't be able to make it again because of CHID stuffs, but after this weekend I should be all clear for writing fun. (Ha! I'm going the easy route and just doing a word count thing.)

Yeah, that's kind of the problem with the original bunny. I would totally write the two of them bitching about men and drinking together, though. *g*

Whee, cool.

...And there is official confirmation that Highlander 5 is in pre-production/writing phase. As Sean once said "You have no idea how much I need this movie not to suck." *Whimpers* Please? Please can it not suck ass? Could it please be just a little bit good?

"And he says he loves me, but I don't know if he really does!" "At least he tells you he loves you. I got a keychain!"

But you said you wouldn't watch it anyway, hating the style and all. And I don't think it'll suck. It'll probably be a good movie in it's own right, which I would rather have than anything else. Really, I have no issue with people who honestly care about a project having fun with it and exploring it in different ways.

And speaking of Highlander, I've picked up the Richie/Methos thing again. When I've got a sufficiant amount done, would you mind reading it over?

*Snerffles* Oh yes, that's them. And the sad thing is, it's so true.

No, not that one. They're doing "The Source" or whatever they're calling the next live-action. Which makes me nervous because... well, because I actually have investment in the characters, as opposed to whoever the hell this "Collin" or whatever MacLeod is. I can gripe all I want, but it's likely that I will not be able to resist a live-action, unless they do something horrifically dumb like... I dunno... neglect to have Methos or Joe make even token appearances. Whereas I can take or leave the anime, really - it's so different that I can basically ignore it, in my mind, if I want to.

Oh, cool. Yeah, I can totally read it over for you. *g*

But the love is there, and we've discussed how I think the show really should have ended. XD

Ah. No idea about it really.

Whooo! I'll send it to your hotmail in a Word document. ^_^ Maybe even tonight.

I always imagine them either getting together after the series is over or continuing as they are for ever, eventually living together as this old married couple in everything but name. *Pats them*

*Shrugs* Nobody does, really, aside from it's being written by the main original staff writer, which is generally being hailed as a Good Change.

Okay, yay!

Sadly I don't know enough about FMA having only see 2 eps to know too much about that one :P

Glad you liked it!

I'll have to show you a few more episodes, someday - it's a cute show. It gets really angsty and kind of disturbing, but it's still really good.
