Daily Drabble 67

Title: When Words Are Useless
Author: coffeebuddha
Rating: G/FRC
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Word Count: 225
Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me.
Prompt: [info]black_sluggard requested more Franken!Ryan.
Notes: Takes place immediately following Esposito's Monster. Title taken from a line in Young Frankenstein. Because I can.




Javier slides his hand from the man's cheek down to his neck, two fingers feeling for his pulse while his thumb strokes over his adam's apple. "Do you know your name?"

"Kevin," the man says immediately, then pauses. He tilts his head slightly to the side and purses his lips together before nodding. "Yes. Kevin."

"And memories?" Javier asks. Kevin's pulse flutters hummingbird fast under his fingertips, though his breathing is slow and steady. "Do you remember anything? Is there anything else you know?"

Kevin ducks his head away, dislodging Javier's hand, and swings his legs off the lab table. Before Javier can stop him, he's pushed to his feet. The sheet that had been preserving his modesty falls to puddle on the floor between them, and Javier's gaze stutters down. The heat that floods his cheeks is stupid; it's not like he hasn't seen and even touched Kevin there already. But it's different now.

It's so different now.

Kevin sways for a moment, unsteady as a newborn foal, then folds gracelessly to his knees. He leans forward, pressing his cheek against Javier's thigh, and his fingers tangle in the hem of Javier's trousers. Hesitantly, Javier rests his hand on the top of his head, hair soft and ticklishly springy under his palm.

"You," Kevin says so quietly Javier almost misses it. "I know you."




Thank you for reading! Feedback is always appreciated!

First commenter gets to pick the next prompt! When requesting, please keep in mind that I try to keep these between 100-500 words. For a list of my fandoms and squicks, go here. The list is worth checking out again even if this isn't your first rodeo, because it's just gone through a major overhaul. AUs, crack, genderbending, etc are all welcome in addition to more canon compliant prompts.

IMPORTANT: I'm embarrassingly behind on, well, pretty much everything at this point, so please keep the spoilers for the latest season anything still airing that's on my list AWAY from my journal in your prompts and comments. Thanks!

Franken!Ryan is...more adorable than I was expecting. XD

This actually made me go "AWW!":
"You," Kevin says so quietly Javier almost misses it. "I know you."

ETA: uh. I may be a little drunk too? XD

Thank you! I'm kind of unreasonably fond of Franken!Ryan. &hearts

Oops, forgot I left that line in there. I tend to copy/paste the headers and footers for the Daily Drabbles. XD Yay for being tipsy, though! :D

You have the prompt! Any idea what you'd like? (A link to my fandoms, pairings, and squicks is in the footer if you'd like to look at all your options and don't worry about being too cracktastic if you're leaning toward something a little out there.:)

Oooh, prompting. Hmm. WHY can I never think of prompts when it matters?

Um. Let's go with Ryan/Esposito, rumpled clothing. Because I can't think of anything more interesting at the moment.

Well. Unless you'd rather write more Franken!Ryan. :D

Hmm...bet I could combine the two. ;)

*waves* I've very recently discovered the joys of Ryan/Esposito, and in my desire to read ALL THE FIC, old posts at [livejournal.com profile] castle_slash led me here. :)

How's life? Haven't talked to you in a while.

Meh. Life has kind of sucked. And I had to drop my landcomms because I just wasn't getting anything done, both for RL and for the teams. However, I have totally helped some friends make an HP role-playing site that we're trying to recruit some new writers for, if you're interested. Other than that, it's just the usual of school and trying to get my health to behave.

How about you? How has everything been going? Still on Team Garcia?

[personal profile] uberniftacular 2012-02-11 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw. I didn't think I'd seen you around Team Garcia lately, guess that would be why, lol.

Things here are okay for the most part, except that I kind of hate my job and my boss, but apparently that's pretty standard for being a grad student. Don't think I've got brain enough for a roleplay at the moment, unfortunately. (Besides the fact that any time I've ever started a roleplay, I lose interest and inspiration within a month, because apparently I can't maintain long-term writing or something *shrug*) Currently my brain is being completely eaten by Castle XD I started watching the show at the beginning of January...and now, 6 weeks later, I've watched every episode, and have already re-watched the first 2 seasons (and am currently in the middle of 3x05...), because this is apparently what I do with tv shows these days...

The other thing that's eating my brain is that apparently I'm writing a tv show. Again...

I miss it!!!!!! Are we winning, by any chance?

Yeah, I hear that being a grad student sucks but that it's worth it in the end. And I understand not have the brain for roleplay, especially if it's been taken over by the glory that is Castle. That show is just AMAZING! But if you know anyone who might be interested in HP RP, could you pimp the site a bit? There are banners and information on my LJ that you could link them to. (http://theslashbunny.livejournal.com/23247.html)

Seriously? Again? What's it about this time? *chinhands*

Hahaha, no, we actually just came in 4th place in the case that ended today. But we were actually doing pretty well the last few challenges (think we've gotten some new members recently, so there's more participation happening, apparently), so I'm hopeful for next case.

Yeah, supposedly it is. Right now, I'm not so sure...but we'll see how things go.

Castle is pretty awesome, NGL. My brother had been telling me for like a year and a half that I needed to watch it, and I finally found time. And he was right. (OMG, did you see last week's episode?! Castle + film noir. I almost died of the awesome. Also, ACCENTS.)

This time, it's a steampunk show, starring Jaime Murray and Mark Sheppard. (Um. And like 10 other people, because I have a serious problem with writing massive ensemble casts. XD ) Cuz over at tvrealm we have the opportunity to redo a challenge, so, being the crazy person I am, I've chosen to do the "create-a-show" one again. Y'know, because my brain didn't get eaten enough with the last TWO shows I wrote... *shrug* But hey. Steampunk. Airship. Seamus Dever is in it. I'm excited, AND IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL SHOW.

It's okay, dear. I'm stone cold sober and I did the same. :P

They're just that cute.

Heh, yeah, that was my excuse at the time, but frankly, it's how I normally react sober too. XD

*spazzflail*

Javi's not the only one who can create monsters, apparently. I can already tell this 'verse is going to be for me what French Girls is to roachstar. XD

Thanks! He's way too much fun.
