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.

(girl!)Bob/Brian, motorcycles

Recreating music with your hands is a beautiful way to describe it. It's something I wish would be done more.

What a beautiful way to describe things ♥

I'm on a Bob/Mikey kick right now. So, if it works for you, that pairing and snow please.

Mikey/Somebody-in-the-Veronica-Mars-world, first kiss with their eyes open.

Uh, I'm feeling kind of cracky today so fair warning?

Bob Bryar/Tim Drake - finding where you belong now.

Oooh ooh ooh! Mikeyway/Damon Salvatore! Prompt: innocence.

oh, I've been thinking about Veronica Mars a lot recently. I'd love Veronica and Logan's first kiss as adults, since no one can persuade me they don't come back to each other and end up together somehow. ♥

This really made me smile, what a beautiful scene. ♥

GIRL!SPENCER/LYN-ZZZZZZ, c'monnn. WAFFLES.

Because apparently your gorgeous description of sign language made me think of reading body language - Cass Cain/The Like member of your choice - snow kisses. ♥

that's beautiful! one of my best friends in my late teens/early twenties was an interpretor for the deaf and one of the reasons she was so good was just how expressive she was. with her entire body. she had also been a dancer and incorporated that entire sense of movement into it. <3

Veronica Mars/DCU (maybe Mac/Tim Drake? or /Dick Grayson?). ::)

I learnt sign language for a year when I was at school but I've never seen anyone sign a song. That sounds lovely.

Prompt: I was going to say something with Damon Salvatore but he's already been asked for - are you taking more than one request per character?

Oh man, sign language. *___* It is something I'm determined to learn. I've already taught myself the BSL alphabet and some colours, though I know it'll do me no good outside the UK. It's just so expensive to learn properly. *sigh*

I'm glad you had a good night, though. :)
