and i feel alive (prompts post)

[harborshore]

I went to mom's choir's Christmas concert today, and cried my way through at least six of the songs because, oh, one of the choir members did a sign language interpretation of "Silent Night" and one more song, and I can't get over her face, how expressive she was and how she was the very incarnation of joy and it was so beautiful, I can't adequately convey how beautiful it was. I'd never have thought you could recreate music with your hands, but she did. And I really liked the inclusiveness, obviously.

(Side note: when I was younger, they thought my hearing problem would get worse and I would have to learn sign language. It didn't, it went away instead and I put my hearing aids away at twelve, but I still--sign language is high on my list of things I want to learn.)



I feel like writing short-short things, so I thought I'd do one of these. It's been a while. I'll do the first five or six, depending on if my Yuletide grabs me again.

Prompt: a pairing, an AU or a crossover and a first kiss. Fandoms: BTVS, Panic, The Like, Bob, Brian, Mikey Way, Veronica Mars, DCU, Vampire Diaries, etc. You lot know what I write.

Hee! I feel like Mac has a thing for blond and spunky, so I hope you don't mind...



Steph kisses her in the middle of Mac explaining the concept of XHTML for the third time. It's a quick kiss, like Steph just did it without thinking, like it's normal to kiss your tutor when she's explaining how to put together web sites.

Mac splutters. "Uh, what?" she says. Intelligently. She's not used to people just kissing her like that.

Steph bites her lip. "I wanted to?" she offers, and she kind of looks like she wants to do it again. She reminds Mac of Veronica sometimes, but not right now, because it's never that easy to read Veronica.

"But, but--" Mac doesn't quite know how to say she didn't mind at all, but she's a bit concerned about Steph's failing her class and she's concerned about Steph doing it as some sort of weird thank you for the tutoring or--

Steph grins. "I'm not actually failing the class, you know, I just said that so I could get you alone."

Mac has to smile. "Really?" That's also something that doesn't happen a lot. Usually the people she tutors actually need it, no matter what happens la--best not to go there, really.

"Really," Steph says, bumping one shoulder into Mac's. "Can I do it again?"

Mac starts to nod but Steph is already kissing her.

AWWWWWWWW! They are SO CUTE! ♥ ♥ ♥

I love all Robins (well, except I don't know much about the current one yet, so I don't know about him) and Batgirls, so. :) And it's true, Mac clearly has a thing for spunky blondes as well as too-smart-for-their-own-good brunets.

Totally the adorablest, oh my god. I grew so fond while I was writing about them.

The current Robin is ten and a BRAT, is most of what you need to know. But yes, all Robins and Batgirls. (Speaking of which, the first three pages of Red Robin this month? HEARTS.)

I was having a hard time writing her/Tim in a way that wouldn't bring up Cassidy echoes--not that that wouldn't be interesting, to get them past that, but it's hard to do it justice in a short ficlet like this one. And then I just want someone to write porn with her and Dick Grayson. Mmmmmmmm.

(I don't have a good source of single-issue comics right now... though I see Red Robin has some trades out, which I will add to my xmas list! I love all Robins and Batgirls but Tim is my favorite, so I really should be reading it. (Dick is my favorite Nightwing, that's just how it goes.) I am just terrible at keeping up with ongoing comics.)

*nod nod* Yeah, I could see how that would be... tricky. I was thinking of Max from season 3 a bit more, who I quite liked. Though I liked Cassidy, too, before he got screwed over by the writers.

Mac/Dick Grayson porn would be amazing, I feel sure. :) But I LOVED the Mac/Steph -- seriously, the cutest! :D

(Do you want a source? And you should be reading Red Robin, yes. It's sometimes dumb, but it's sometimes great and it has some awesome Steph moments as well. But the first three pages of this month's, OH.)

I liked Cassidy too! Before, you know. That all happened.

I'm glad you did! :D I really liked writing it.

(If you know of a good one, sure!)

Yeah. I... still don't understand why that seemed like a good idea to whoever decided to do it.
