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.

"You've done that before!" Damon says accusingly.

Mikey's mouth quirks. "I have," is all he says.

Damon has the feeling Mikey's making fun of him; this kid never says what he's thinking, but Damon's starting to be able to read the minute variations in his face after nearly a week of--Damon refuses to call them dates, but hanging out. Up until this moment, Damon felt pretty proud of his restraint (he's grown as a person, he doesn't have to go straight to the sex. Or the kissing.).

But on the other hand, that hardly matters. "So I could do that again?" he asks, because Elena has been explaining the concept of consent in great detail, aided by Stefan. Also, they both said they'd castrate him if he ever did to anyone else what he did to Caroline, and it's just easier to do as he's told at least sometimes. Just in order to keep outraged lectures to a minimum, you understand.

Mikey smirks and straddles Damon on the couch. "Yes," he says, and leans in, kissing Damon and getting his hands into Damon's hair in a way that kind of makes Damon want to purr. Oh, this kid is good.

Well, that is completely, utterly delightful!

Hee, thank you! Damon is a lot of fun to write. In canon, I prefer the threesome of Competent/Moral/Ridiculous, obviously, but in wacky crossover-land, I found the thought of him and Mikey really fun. And interesting, because lord what a great dynamic.
