The Shiny Happy Comment Ficathon!

Winter is coming; daylight is fleeting; for the students among us, end-of-semester hell is just about to rear its ugly head. What better way to combat such woes than with a super-cheerful comment ficathon?

Ergo:

The Rules Are Thus:

1. Cheerful prompts! I feel like there's not much regulation here in terms of pairings: almost every ship or pair of characters is capable of a fluffy/happy/silly moment, and if they're not in canon, then why can't they be in fic? However, any prompt involving, say, lyrics from Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" is probably not appropriate in terms of tone. Unless it's the "guess that's why they call it WINDOW PANE" line, which will never stop being hilarious.

2. Prompt format should go thus:

Fandom -- Pairing or characters -- prompt

3. For the fic you've written, please put the following in your comment's subject line: 'Fandom -- pairing -- title.'

4. Be nice!

5. Spread the fun, if you are so inclined!

6. Go forth and have a merry happy good time. :)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Merlin, Arthur/Morgana, Remember when...

The X-Files, John/Monica, put a flower in your hair

Leverage, Parker/Hardison, don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine

The Office, Jim/Pam + CeCe, to you, everything's funny

They had officially become one of those couples. You know, that couple that talks about their child’s poop habits at the dinner table. Color, shape, density… They didn’t play around when they talked about CeCe’s poop. And when they were not talking about her poop, they were talking about that time when she got her foot halfway into her mouth and gagged herself, or when she had her first taste of mashed peas and spit them out all over Pam’s face (Jim won’t lie, he… really enjoyed that one), or when Jim was giving CeCe a bath and she took the rinse cup and filled it with water and dumped it all over the bathroom floor when Jim wasn’t paying attention (he didn’t enjoy that one so much). CeCe was basically all they talked about anymore. It was getting to the point where even Phyllis would roll her eyes at them at work. But, come on, it wasn’t Jim and Pam’s fault that CeCe was so entertaining. Well, okay, maybe it was their fault, but they couldn’t really help the fact that their delightfulness had rubbed off on their child.

“Delightfulness?” Michael asked. “Really? Ugh, whatever. You think it’s hilarious when she spits up.”

Jim’s eyebrows drew together and he frowned. “Not… really.”

“Yes, you do,” Dwight chimed in. “She spit up on me at the christening and you guys forced her into giving you a high five.”

“Well, now that was a time to celebrate,” Jim said. “I’ve never been more proud of her than I was in that moment.”

Dwight glared at Jim. Jim answered him with a smile and a wink.

That night, while laying CeCe down in her crib, Jim told her, “Don’t worry, CeCe, everyone’s a critic.” He tickled her nose with his finger and she giggled. “At least you know what’s funny.”

Oh, this was perfection! :) Thank you soo much for writing it.

...but they couldn’t really help the fact that their delightfulness had rubbed off on their child. YES. ♥ HalpertsFTW!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And, you know, when I wrote that fic I honestly had no clue that the prompt was a song lyric, and then like an hour or two after I had posted the drabble I started listening to the new Taylor Swift album and heard the lyric and I was like, "Wait a minute, why does that sound so familiar?" *sigh*

Hahahahaha, ADORABLE. I love the awesome spin that Jim and Pam's Jim-and-Pam-ness puts on being obsessed new parents.

Hee, thank you muchly!

Hee, this made me laugh, especially the high fiving! And good job on the voice.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

White Collar, Peter/El/Neal, non-traditional family dinners

BtVS, Spike/Drusilla, a thousand thundering thrills await me

Dollhouse, DeWitt/Dominic (and possibly the Dollhouse crew), "I think we can confidently declare this one the worst imprint ever."

I think that the only way you can make a genuinely shiny happy comment fic for Dollhouse is if you set it post-apocalypse. Because if you set it before, you'll will always think about the ~fyoocha.

Or of if you write it in crack. Lol

But that being said...

Modern Family, Mitchell/Cameron, baby names

HTML fail on first attempt!

I'm only about half-way through the first season, so I hope this is okay ^^;;

The adoption papers come through and Mitchell breaks out the baby-name book with great fervor. Armed with his red pen and a moderately impressive stash of sticky notes incongruously lifted from the office, he’d sat down and meticulously written notes on the pros and cons of names that caught his fancy, striking out Bianca for sounding just a little too snobby and Xanthe for being too, well, weird. When he proudly presents the book to Cam so they can go through the remaining candidates and pick the perfect name together, his boyfriend’s dismissive reaction is more than a little hurtful.

“I worked on this for ages, Cam! I’ve taken everything into consideration, from name-meanings to any associated famous namesakes with less-than-spotless records she might be unwittingly linked to. Look, I even figured out all the different permutations of nicknames just in case there were any that might lend themselves to the usual playground bullying situations, and I’ve factored in the current baby-naming trends because the last thing she’ll want is to feel a loss of individualism by being one of fifteen Emma’s in the classroom!” He huffs in annoyance, arms crossed over his chest to emphasize just how cranky he’s feeling about this whole thing.

“Oh hogwash,” Cameron says breezily (who even uses the word “hogwash” nowadays?) and flips through a catalogue of baby furniture, “We can’t possibly pick a name yet, don’t be silly.”

Mitchell throws his arms up in the air in full what-is-the-world-coming-to fashion. “Right, because trying to decide between antique rose blush and lemon custard yellow as the room’s theme colour clearly takes priority over picking a name for our child!”

“That’s not what I’m saying at all,” Cameron replies mildly in that very patient-but-put-upon way of his. He turns the catalogue at an angle and squints, “Ooh, what do you think of this diaper-changing station? I luh-ove the little rocking-horse motif, it’s so charming!”

“Are you even listening to me? She’s going to be stuck with this name for the rest of her life! What if she hates it? What if she hates us for sticking her with the name that she hates?”

Well that makes Cam pause.

“Mitchell,” he says soothingly, finally dropping the catalogue and patting the seat next to him, “Remember Shel Turtlestein? Fliesaminelli? I bet you didn’t have to spend weeks in advance coming up with those names before you brought them home.”

“Actually, I did.”

“Forget I brought it up. The point is, the way you’re approaching this… well it’s ruining the romance of the whole baby-naming process. Don’t you want to step into that room, take one look at our beautiful baby girl, and just know what her name is going to be? We can’t do that from thousands of miles away! And no—“ he raises a finger as Mitchell opens his mouth to speak, “A picture is not a suitable substitute for that.”

Mitchell thinks, “Oh god we’re going to get there and then she’ll end up nameless for a month.”

Mitchell says, “Fine, whatever. You keep up with this romantic ideal of the perfect baby name materializing out of thin air. I’m going to construct a short-list as our contingency plan.”

To get to this point has meant enduring a sixteen hour flight with the woman sitting in the window seat insisting on a bathroom break at every hour and Cam bawling over every single movie available in the flight entertainment system’s repertoire. Five minutes ago he would have said the experience was about sixteen hours too long, but right now… right now he’s willing to do that flight another sixteen times over just to get to this moment.

Cam is cradling the baby – their baby – with such gentleness and adoration, like he’s been meant for this his entire life, and Mitchell feels so full and light and deeply in love.

As he holds his arms out for her Cam says, “Say hi to your daddy, Lily!” and he doesn’t even have time to register what that means before he’s totally and completely in awe of this tiny little life he’s holding. She looks back at him calmly, bright-eyed and curious, one delicate little hand with five delicate little fingers tugging at one pretty, tiny ear. He marvels at her adorable, perfectly formed nose and her little mouth, suddenly stretching itself into an O-shaped yawn.

“So, what do you think?” Cam asks, tapping her cute nose button fondly with one finger.

“She’s perfect,” he manages to breathe out.

“Well of course she is! But I’m talking about the name, Mitchell. I just took one look at her and there it was! BAM! ‘Lily’.” He fans his hands out like he’s performing a magic trick, and Mitchell can’t help smiling.

There’s only one way to tell Cam the approval he’s waiting to hear.

“Hi Lily,” he says to his daughter, “I’m your daddy.”

OH GOSH THIS IS SO LOVELY! ♥ Hahaha, I love Mitchell attacking a baby name book with a red pen and Cam being the only person in the world to still use the word "hogwash," and their banter is so spot-on, and okay, that whole second section has rendered my heart a big happy mess of AWWWWW.

I'm glad you liked it! I kind of adore Mitch and Cam, they're such fun and clearly the best daddies in the world ♥

Aww, this is adorable!

Merlin, Arthur/Morgana, Sister? Oh dear.

omg A+++++

"Father," Arthur walks into the council chambers, maps and papers covering every square inch of the long table, on a morning when he knows that he will find the man alone. "I have something I would like to discuss with you."

He's been putting it off for weeks now but he doesn't think he can put it off any longer. He also doesn't have the nerve to go to Morgana first, telling himself that, this way, at least he will have gotten the more intimidating presence out of the way. He's aware that he might be very wrong about the more intimidating bit (and, as an aside, he thinks he should get them to teach him how to work that look; if the way his manservant talks to him is any indication, Arthur also needs to learn it fast.)

When his father looks up, Arthur takes a steady breath, willing away these rotten nerves and continues, "So I realize that I reacted badly to your last attempts to find me a suitor."

"Ah yes," Uther rubs a hand across his brow. "Princess Elena. Do not tell me you want to try that again. I don't think it would be such a--"

"No, not at all," Arthur cuts him off. His hands are clammy but he can't think of that now. "It's actually someone else entirely, and I just...wanted to...inform you of the fact."

"And where have you come across this someone?" Uther puts down the papers but his face remains impassive.

"She is a Lady of the Court of Camelot, Sire."

"And?"

Surely, Arthur thinks, he doesn't need to explain it further. Then again, he suspects that the Pendragon brand of interpersonal intelligence that Merlin often mutters about likely didn't stem from his mother's side. "That is," Arthur says, "I would like to court her."

"Ah," and Arthur swallows as his father leans back on the arms of his chair, trying hard, it seems, to fight something like amusement off his face. Arthur wonders why it is that his affections for every woman elicits this sort of look. Still, it is preferable to murderous rage so he tries not to dwell upon it too much. "Of our court, you say? And who might this lady be, so fortunate to earn my son's affections?"

And really, thinking of it had been one thing but speaking of it is a different matter entirely, especially to his father, especially concerning his ward. Arthur would have much rather preferred to go and ask Gorlois himself but, well, Gorlois being dead and all made that a little problematic.

"The Lady Morgana," says Arthur, and it comes out no louder than a croak given how dry his traitorous throat has suddenly become.

In theory, Arthur had known that this probably wasn't such a great idea to begin with--

(He should have just waited it out like he'd originally planned on doing, ignoring stupid Merlin and his stupid follow-your-heart ideals. One day Morgana would stop being impossibly beautiful, the edge to her words and her blades would dull and his eyes would stop following her in and out of every room. Surely, the day would come. It had to.)

--no, it was not even a moderately good idea, but the way the colour drains out of his father's face at her name makes it seem like a really, bloody horrible idea right about now...

He half-considers adding, not at all shakily, I do not see the problem, Sire. She is of noble birth, but his father is rising from the chair and Arthur decides it is probably better to, well, not.

(Perhaps, the day, that long-awaited day, would come much sooner than he'd expected.)

HAHAHAHA, OH, POOR ARTHUR. ♥ This is PERFECT. It's really unfair that Morgana keeps winding up being related to everyone, because I am pretty sure that all those people have crushes on her. And who wouldn't??

One day Morgana would stop being impossibly beautiful, the edge to her words and her blades would dull and his eyes would stop following her in and out of every room. Surely, the day would come. It had to.

... ye gods, I'm always going to ship them, aren't I.

It's really unfair that Morgana keeps winding up being related to everyone, because I am pretty sure that all those people have crushes on her.

PRETTY DAMN MUCH.

And you are not alone in the shipping. I almost didn't post it because I was making myself sad thinking, BUT I WANT THEM TO GET MARRIED AND BE SNARKY AND BEAUTIFUL. That route would have probably led to ANGST so random cracky-fun route it was.

thank you! :D

Gilmore Girls, Luke/Lorelai, "I hate this song."

Jane Eyre, Blanche Ingram/Mr. Rochester, "I do love a contralto"

Romeo & Juliet, Rosaline/Mercutio, they're all so bloody melodramatic, aren't they?

ilu! ♥

placeholder comment; I'll see if life isn't being horrendously busy tomorrow.

NCIS, Tony/Ziva, I loved you... grey sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect

The Mummy, Evelyn Carnahan, reading is sexy

YES!

Evie is lying stretched out on their hotel bed reading; what, Rick can't tell, but she is deeply absorbed in whatever it is, her feet in the air. She is only half dressed and her hair is down and spread over her shoulders; idly, she brushes it away from her face when the breeze from the open window drifts a curl into her eyes, but she does not look up to see Rick crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe until she finally shifts to turn her page.

"Oh, hello," she says, peering at him owlishly over the rims of her spectacles. "How long have you been lurking?"

She pushes the glasses up onto her forehead and smiles at him.

"Not too long," Rick says. "Do you have any idea how beautiful you are when you do that?"

"What, read?" she says. She puts her book aside and rolls onto her side to make room for him; he pushes himself away from the door and sits beside her, resting a hand on her hip as he leans in to kiss her forehead.

"We're going to miss the boat," he murmurs into her hair.

"Oh, stuff the boat," she says. "Come read with me."

"Evelyn," he says. She looks up at him, eyes wide, waiting; he cannot articulate what is trapped in his chest like a thousand quivering butterflies (butterflies) (what has she done to him) so he just says, "Evie," and she smiles and pulls him down to kiss him.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The Mummy Returns was on TV yesterday and I caught a few minutes and it reminded me of how they are one of my favourite movie couples of all time, and now this has REALLY REMINDED ME.

he cannot articulate what is trapped in his chest like a thousand quivering butterflies (butterflies) (what has she done to him)

adjkflja;dflkajlfka ♥

They truly are, like, the couple I base ALL MY FICTIONAL COUPLES off. So amazing, so sexy, with their books and their guns.

(♥ ty, girl.)

OH.

I love you. I love them. And my god, I love this more than words can wield the matter.

HEARTS. THE MOST TREMENDOUS HEARTS IN MY EYES.

GLAD TO HEAR, thank youuuu ♥

[happy scream of joy goes here]

I'd be more coherent but oh, I hadn't read anything about them in years, and oh, this is perfect. ♥

♥ Thank you!

OH, OH, MY FAVORITE OTP OF ALL TIME.

IF ONLY I CAN MAKE A HEART-SHAPED HEART WITH MY LAPTOP KEYBOARDS, I WILL.

<3

:D THANK YOUUUU.

THIS IS AWEEEESOME.

Aw, thanks! :D

GUUUH. My God, they were probably my first otp and now I really miss them. Otp otp otp.

I can so see this happening somewhere between the first film and the second - Evelyn saying Oh, stuff the boat (hahaha, go, evie!) in that hilarious way of hers. ♥

:D Thank you!

He's careful to keep as many people as possible between himself and Annie when midnight hits. As a result, he gets the world's heartiest cheek smooch from Dean Pelton. And yes, there is licking involved. He tries to determine where this ranks on the inappropriate scale next to Makeouts with Annie. He can't really reach a definitive conclusion, because he's too busy yearning for brain bleach. Or alcohol, which he's found over years is an acceptable substitute.

Annie kisses Britta, which isn't a thing a guy needs brain bleach for. It's your standard chaste corner-of-the-mouth 'Oh hey, Aunt Mildred!' deal, but still.

"Check you out," he says when she flounces over to him at like 12:02, drinks in hand, "embracing lesbianism for the New Year. Edison, I applaud you."

She swats him adorably on the chest. "Shut up, Queer Eye for the Bald Guy."

"Wow, what a hilarious, clever, and totally non-dated reference."

"Thank you!" She hands him champagne, then keeps going to town on that sparkling cider. You can tell it's sparkling cider because the plastic flute has 'FOR UNDERAGE LAME-OS' scrawled on it in black Sharpie. (It is, indisputably, the work of Chang. Except for the gold star under the insulting label, which Jeff does not doubt is the work of Annie.)

Why am I HERE, he thinks, but it's with a little less zest than he's used to, and the Dollar Store champagne is almost palatable. This place is warping him. It's warping him bad. It's hard to care so much anymore.

"Got any resolutions?" he asks as they clink their 'glasses' together. It doesn't really make a noise, because, y'know. Plastic.

"Be better," she replies chirpily, like this is somehow a simple, attainable thing rather than vague as all hell. "But, you know. In a way where I still figure out how to let loose and have fun."

"Well, you rang in the new year locking lips with a chick," he points out. "Even if it was Britta. I say you're on your way to loose."

"Thanks," she says, like she's actually touched by him essentially calling her a floozy. Her eyes do that thing where they actually honest to God light up, very little metaphor involved, and she's so utterly and simply and sweetly pretty that it makes him think in small woodland animals and Disney songs that he doesn't even know. His brainwaves can roughly be translated Adorable chipmunk, adorable chipmunk, bluebird, fairy, fairy, A whole new wooooorld!

Annie friggin' Edison, ladies and gentlemen.

"I think," Jeff says, "you're gonna be able to achieve anything you want to. But 'better' is kind of a tall order."

"Oh yeah?" she asks, smiling.

"Yeah," he says. Smiling back, God help him. "You're already pretty damn okay."

She gives him that look that comes out to play once in awhile, where it's like he's done something right and she's proud or whatever. It is a look that has absolutely no power over him, just for the record.

Then she stands up on tiptoe and she kisses him.

It's a quick, nice, no-tongues kind of kiss. A friend kiss, if you will.

BLUEBIRD BLUEBIRD ADORABLE BABY BUNNY LITTLE FAWN TALE AS OLD AS TIME, SONG AS OLD AS RHYME, cries his brain.

"What was that for?" he asks, trying to frown.

"It's New Year's," she replies with an innocent shrug.

"It's--" He consults his watch. "12:09."

"Close enough," she says, giving him one last radiant smile. Then she takes off across the room towards Shirley and Britta.

He totally doesn't watch her go, and decides to spend the rest of the night stealthily throwing chips at Professor Duncan's head. Priorities.

I LOVE THIS. The brain stutter of Disney thoughts was hilariously perfect. Also, bwah/eeeew to the Dean licking Jeff's face!

Thank you so much! :) Hahahaha, the Dean's inappropriate Jeff crush is totally one of my favourite aspects of this show. I can't help it, it always brings so much ~weird!

Oh gosh, oh the sweetness! JEFF THINKING IN DISNEY THOUGHTS. Them being so genuinely them! No shields up, just them stating the facts with Jeff ever so subtly being completely entranced by her wondefulness and Annie being touched by his genuineness. This is totally season 1 them, and GOD, I MISS THEM SO MUCH. SO VERY MUCH. The little kiss at the end! Jeff trying to frown (and I imagine failing, because he simply cannot frown at someone who inspires Disney images in his head).

Thank you so much! ♥ SEASON ONE THEM, COME BACK. Last night definitely felt like a step in that direction, though. Sighhhh!

"Thanks," she says, like she's actually touched by him essentially calling her a floozy. Her eyes do that thing where they actually honest to God light up, very little metaphor involved, and she's so utterly and simply and sweetly pretty that it makes him think in small woodland animals and Disney songs that he doesn't even know. His brainwaves can roughly be translated Adorable chipmunk, adorable chipmunk, bluebird, fairy, fairy, A whole new wooooorld!

Annie friggin' Edison, ladies and gentlemen.

You packed 75% of everything I love about J/A into that paragraph.

AWESOME, thank you! :)

Oh. Oh. Oh.
There is love in my heart and a spring in my step. And I too am thinking in Disney metaphors!

"Wow, what a hilarious, clever, and totally non-dated reference."
Stop killing me with your perfect Jeff!

Thank you so much! :D

Oh gosh, thank you! ♥ I'm always wary to write these guys because this show has such a specific vibe, but then while I'm actually writing them I have such a good time. They are such a wonderful pair!

LOVE.

THANK YOU. ♥

♥

I enjoyed this massively, great character voices.

I AM HAPPY TO BE OF SERVICE :D

wait, what's the difference between ot3 and 0t3? /noob>

(deleted comment)

omg, inserting scenes if you're up for that :D

so this clearly got out of control and I'm pretty sure I veered a bit from your prompt so I hope it still satisfies ;)

30 Rock, Jack/Liz, GILF Island (No, Liz, that's not a typo)

Hee, I approve of this prompt!

this just cracks me up! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

“And Donaghy’s losing it, Jenna. Look at this subject line. GILF Island. Bad enough that he thinks Tracy should host the Kismet/Taylor Two Month Anniversary of Divorce Reunion Special. Tracy should not be allowed to host a tapeworm. He got a restraining order at a parent-teacher conference.”

“Parents overreact to everything, Liz. You take a couple of Adderall from a kid once and they’re all ‘she’s a terrible role model.’”

“I was meaning to ask you how that appearance on Sesame Street went.”

“They had this great makeup artist who used penguin guano to fill in the lines on your face. I looked fantastic.” Jenna looks at her pointedly. “Do you want her number?”

Liz rolls her eyes. “Whatever. The point is, Jack is so out of touch with reality he can’t even spell the ridiculous crap he wants me to do.”

“Liz, no! It’s GILF Island. Guido I’d Like to Fuck.”

“You mean.”

“Yes! Those hot young guys from MTV. Oh, I’ve been hoping they would do this for ages! Put a bunch of them on an island and watch them fight each other for survival.”

“Isn’t that just Jersey Shore?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Seaside Heights isn’t on an island, Liz.”

“How do you even know about this? I thought you only watched television shows you were on.”

Jenna folds her arms and huffs. “I still can’t believe they cut me out. You’d think that bitch Snooki invented hiking your skirt up for the camera.”

If Liz pretends hard enough, she’ll never have heard that. It worked for Frank’s joke about Steve Martin at the strip club. “You’re worried about your skin, but you hang out in New Jersey?”

“I have part ownership in the best nail salon on the boardwalk. The point is, Liz, if you don’t believe me, you should ask Jack.”

Liz takes a second to hope she gets ebola on her way up and has to go to the hospital. “You’re right, Jenna. Go put some more poo on your face.”

“It works, Liz.”

She stomps by Jonathan, who squaks something about how she can’t make a 10:30 appointment at 10:32. She flings her diet Coke at his head to shut him up, and he yells “LIZ! That wasn’t EMPTY!” as she slams Jack’s door behind her.

“GILF, Jack. GILF. This is a gigantic mistake, like that time you promised Kenneth he could run the wardrobe department for a week. Remember how he had Kim Kardashian dressed in a habit? This is like that. Say it out loud. GILF. It sounds like an STD. Which given the subject matter is actually pretty appropriate.”

“So, you got my memo?”

“Oh. I got your memo. And I think you should leave the jokes up to the comedy writers.” Shit. She just walked into that one, didn’t she. “Not that I’m going to be writing any jokes for this garbage, so save it. I have my own show.”

“No, Lemon,” Jack cuts her off. “I want you to join the cast.”

“What.” She goes to gulp at the soda she threw at Jonathan, then fixes her glasses to cover the movement of her empty hand.

Jack nods gravely.

“Haaaaa. Is this one of those things you do, where you teach me about pumping up your subordinates so they remember that you can crush their pathetic dreams? Because you did that last week about the Barefoot Contessa doing a special guest appearance on the show. And don’t think I’ve forgiven you.”

“Of course I’m serious. You have the wide hips and the foul mouth of a classic Guidette, with the eccentric sartorial inclinations of an eighty-year-old Hungarian farmer. You’re a reality television natural.”

“How many insults did you pack into that one?”

“Several, but don’t worry, I have a few more in my pocket.”

“Good. Wouldn’t want you to burn out on this lovely Monday morning. You have another four days and ten hours to ruin my life some more this week. You should really savor these things."

He waits until she’s looking to theatrically pop a peanut into his mouth. “I do. Savor.”

“Are we done here?”

“No, we are not done here. I need your input on GILF Island as a producer, and your terms for acceptance of your role.”

“I didn’t think reality television had roles.”

“That’s ridiculous, Lemon. They’re all playing roles. That Nina Garcia lady from Project Runway was a pre-school teacher when we found her.”

“That explains Jillian Michaels.”

“No, actually, she’s for real.”

“All the more reason for me not to do this, Jack.”

“You’re the first person I thought of, Lemon.”

“Really?”

“No. You’re six hundred years old in television years. But I did still think of you anyway.”

She rolls her eyes at him.

“It’s okay, Lemon. You’ll look fantastic. I know this amazing makeup artist.”

Guano. Guanoguanoguanoguano. “No. Thank you.”

“Think about it, Lemon. I am the most dedicated mentor you could hope for. Have I ever let you down?”

“More ways than I can count, Jack.”

But she promises to think about it.

This is brilliant in so many ways that I can't even comprehend this early in the morning.

thanks! so glad it worked for you. :)

How I Met Your Mother, Barney/Robin, Robin Sparkles Comeback Tour '15!

Yesssssss!

I have connections at the show now. I should suggest this to them.

HELL YES YOU SHOULD. For years I have had this feeling that a Robin Sparkles comeback tour would be the ultimate thing to cement Barney and Robin's awesome love once & for all.

Doctor Who, River/Doctor, You're very pretty, you know. You're very rare, you know.

Compliments. They're not the sort of thing he does. Not and mean it well, like that. But he can't quite help himself, when he sees her again.

They're dangling from a cliff by an umbrella (hers, though she claims she might've borrowed it), and he blurts out, "Your eyes. They're lovely, like--"

"Can we save the chatter for later?" She's all business, though those eyes are twinkling in amusement at him (which he doesn't quite guess how they do that, but he accepts it anyway--they're just eyes, he wants to tell himself).

"Yeah--if we just--"

They get off the cliff by dint of an anti-gravity disc she just happened to have lying around.

He doesn't remember about the eyes, though, not until she's gone again. He makes a note in his mental diary (not quite the same as his long-abused nine-hundred-year-old one where he shaves off a decade or two quite often), that she might like another. At some point.

-=-

It confuses him that he wants to compliment her (though she complements him with her easy knowledge of his TARDIS and also teases him about his hair; he's never letting Amy near that control again, it took four washes and a large bucket of absinthe to wash the purple out), but can't quite manage to work up the sincerity.

"Your hands, they're so... hand-like."

The look she gives him tells him he's gotten it worse, not better.

"And I really like that you didn't shoot anyone."

"This time," she suggests, her lips twisted in that amusement that sometimes scares him (he knows her end, but does she know his?)

-=-

"That dress looks lovely, and so do you."

He's managed it, this time. She smiles and twirls, the skirts belling out, "Thank you. Shall we?"

It's not dancing, not really. They're stealing the crown jewels from a planet that he muffed the pronunciation on when she appeared (and he's certain he'll never live that down). Not for a lark, of course (he's too old for things like that. Probably). The main crystal happens to belong to a doomsday weapon that he sort of forgot he meant to get rid of until now.

"I hope you're Argrgxian is better than your Latin," she mutters to him just before the alarms start blaring.

"My Latin," he objects, grabbing her hand and running for the secret passageway that he knew just had to be there, "is perfect."

"That's not what--"

Whomever she was going to use as a quote against him gets lost as someone fires a gun at them and he has to fiddle with the panel, muttering about humans and their ever-changing syntax.

-=-

Giving up isn't his style, but it rather feels as if there's no point to it. The perfect compliment isn't going to, well, he's not sure what he really wants it to do. Not yet, at least.

"Doctor," says River, during the hi-jacking of the Marie Celeste III. "I've always wondered if this was you."

"Many things are me," he tries for mysterious.

She laughs, reaching out to catch his hand preparatory to running for their lives. "That's what you like to think."

Which gives him pause, though he doesn't stop running. Somewhere ahead, Amy is gesturing with a large white stick that might be chalk. He's not sure he wants to know where she got it or what use she's put it to. "All right, so some of them could be you," he suggests.

River's grin encompasses the whole of the universe. "Now there's a rare compliment."

The moment is ruined, of course, as Amy yells at them to get down too late to stop the pudding squirting from the vent they're passing. He wipes the muck from his eyes and finds River tasting hers.

"I've always liked chocolate."

He should keep that in mind. Human women like things like flowers and chocolates, don't they? He could ask Amy, but he'd never hear the end of that, either.

-f-

"Your hands, they're so... hand-like."

The look she gives him tells him he's gotten it worse, not better.

"And I really like that you didn't shoot anyone."

HEE. ♥

This is a delight. Thank you! (I thoroughly look forward to shipping them on the show: I love flustered!Doctor.)

Whoot! Thank you =D

Oh, hee. He's such a perfect dork. And you've captured River perfectly, simultaneously sensuous and no-nonsense. Lovely!

Aww. Thank you! =D

Bwah, this is awesome. I love it that River keeps him so off balance and yet he still can't help himself. <3

Thank you. I love that exact thing about River ;D (er, and about the Doctor, too, with his inability to help himself)

"All right, so some of them could be you," he suggests.

MAYBE A FEW, DO YOU THINK. &River Song; This was just perfectly in-character and perfectly adorable -- flustered!Doctor trying to impress River Song and failing, I love it. And aaaaaahahahaha:

He could ask Amy, but he'd never hear the end of that, either.

TRUEST OF STORIES. If Amy had caught him attempting compliments, she'd have fallen over laughing.

RIVER DID MANY THINGS IN HISTORY. Sometimes, history even recorded them. Also, she nudged people, too. Probably. ;D

Thank you!
