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. :)

i heard that will and coach beiste kissed? but tackling gay issues and gender issues is a+

hahaha i have entirely too many shows on my roster (usually +/- 35 at any given moment) so i use sidereel to tell me when they are on, when their schedules change around, etc. because i do not have enough index cards/time to keep track of them myself. thank god for the internet.

part of it is just like school scheduling. i haven't watched any regularly scheduled tv since like ... early october? but rather than catch up i unchecked the box. srs bsns.

well coach beiste isn't gay, which i thought was amaze. like how rare for a woman that butch to be played straight on television, and that lets them use her to talk about gender specifically. she basically delivered this killer speech about how masculine women are either treated by men with revulsion or fetishized as objects, and how she's never been kissed at forty years old because she can't abide being treated that way, and then will very gently leans in and kisses her and she looks like she might cry and they hug and he tells her she is wonderful.

it was fantastic and will schuester -- while still being kind of mansplainy and douchey -- is clearly growing as a person, which i approve of.

i totally understand. i recommend this episode, tho, if you get the chance. i also had trouble keeping up with tv when i was in school. project runway was the only one to survive my college years really. and now i am SO OVER THAT because this season finale was THE HEIGHT OF BULLSHIT

oh look at us gabbing away in a comment ficathon quelle surprise

hahaha whatever, i like talking to you, ~not afraid to admit it

i love coach beiste. i LOVE her. from the first second she came on screen. and that scene/speech sounds amazing and agh, BRILLIANCE. although, will schuester, don't know if i can ever overcome my sheer twitchy rage at his presence/existence. although i always support will schuester's growth as a human being.

hahahahaha. project runway. oh man. i really started to turn away from it freshman year, which i suppose partly had to do with the fact that parsons students were the worst people i ever encountered. for the most part.

we should talk more i like your face.

or your text. whatever.

coach beiste actually may be my favorite character on television rn. dot jones is amazing and she's so very human and i love that she shows up and you're like 'oh a sight gag lesbian' and the show is like lol no guess again kids. will schuester is my least favorite character on the show so like trust me when i say i was shocked by how great he was in this ep (there is one mansplainy moment but -one- is better than his usual)

i uh

i kind of ship it

also parsons people are terrible people true story

A++++.

Angel the Series, Wesley/Lilah, the story of us, it always starts the same/with a boy and a girl and a ____ and a game

I LIKE ~~YOUR FACE SLASH WORDS~~ YOU. TRUE STORY.

i just love her so much and the actress just played her so subtly and it was just gorgeous! i saw her guest on "my wife and kids" the other night playing essentially the same role, although, whoo, the writing on that show is not great. will schuester is king of condescension - is there a fanvid for him set to 'king of anything'? because there so should be - so i don't like to take him seriously. but it's nice that he wasn't a giant douche in this episode.

hahahaha. i don't judge when it comes to ships. get it get it.

i watched project runway twice with parsons people and then i was like i can't even hear what's going on stop it stop talking you all are terrible people. never again.

"I can't do it."

"Arthur, you've taken on dragons and Questing Beasts and potential brides and God only knows what else. What's the problem with this?"

"It’s weird."

"So?"

"So I don't want to do it."

“Oh, come on.”

“You can’t make me.”

“Don’t be such a dollop-head.”

“Merlin, sometimes I think you forget who I am.”

“No, I don’t. You’re a prat. And a dollop-head.”

“You’re not making me want to do this any more, you know.”

Merlin put on his best pouting face. “You promised.”

Arthur looked distinctly nauseous. “Yes, well, I’m having second thoughts.”

“Look, it’s really quite simple. One arm here, the other goes there, and what do you know? It’s a hug!”

“It’s not the mechanics I’m having trouble with, it’s…” Arthur trailed off and waved his hand vaguely in Merlin’s direction. Merlin made a face.

“What, am I really that repulsive?” he asked.

“You are rather sweaty at the moment, yes.”

Merlin rolled his eyes. “Come on, one hug. Just to prove to Gwen that I did it.”

“Remind me again why you took this bet?”

“For pride. And such. I don’t actually remember, but she was goading me and one thing led to another and then we were betting on who could hug you first, so…”

“You are, the both of you, absolutely bizarre, do you know that?”

“Oh, shut-up and hug me.”

“Merlin…”

“Hug me.”

“Merlin, I…”

“Hug me hug me hug me hug me hug me –”

“Oh, for the love of –”

Strong hands fisted into Merlin’s tunic and tugged him close, and then Arthur’s arms were at his back and blond hair was tickling his face and they were hugging. Merlin froze for a second, hardly able to believe it, but then he slid his hands around Arthur and curled his fingers into the back of the prince’s red tunic and leaned into the embrace.

It was odd. Merlin had touched this tunic so many times before, had washed it and mended it and tossed it to Arthur from across the room when the prince was too lazy to grab it himself, but he had never before noticed how soft and warm the fabric was, nor how pleasant it smelled. He was hardly daring to breathe as it was, but when he did manage to inhale he caught a scent of clean laundry and something darker, something rougher, something… Arthur. It made him a little dizzy.

“Are you satisfied now?” Arthur grumbled, and this close Merlin could almost feel his voice.

“I think so,” he said, and then Arthur pulled away. Merlin thought he glimpsed an unfamiliar emotion in those blue eyes for just one second, but then they narrowed dangerously and Arthur was pointing a finger at him.

“No one hears of this,” he said, and then paused before adding, “except Gwen.”

Merlin nodded and smiled. Arthur huffed out an exasperated breath and turned away, running a hand through his hair.

“Thank you!” Merlin called after him, and only received a hand-wave in reply.

My essay is glaring at me from another tab right now but I simply could not resist this prompt. I'm calling it therapeutic. It was totally worth it.

she plays essentially the same role everywhere apparently which is why it's so stunning to see her get to be a real person, because that role is always just a sight gag

hahahahaha perfect fanvid would be perfect

i ship it in that xander/cordelia way where i hate the man but think the woman could totally make him a better person

This is a thing of beauty and joy. I applaud you.

This could probably (definitely) be worked on more and improved, but at this point I just have to let it go. I really like your prompt but somehow this kinda spun out of control and away from it a bit. Sorry about that. Also, I don’t know how fluffy this really is, but at least it’s not angst…

This is set before the attack on the colonies.

---

He'd forgotten her name, or so he said.
The most plausible scenario, she thought, was that he probably just hadn't paid attention to it in the first place. What she knows for sure, though, is that he never planned for her to stick around. He'd wanted her, that had been obvious for the second she introduced herself, but he had only planned for a one night frak, and you don't really need a name for that, so he hadn't asked again.

She had other plans for them, though, but he hadn't known that and when she did end up sticking around, it was too late, there was just no delicate way to ask the name of a woman you've been frakking for almost six months.

It became a game for him, she could tell: how long could he go on on "darling", "sweetheart" and "love" without ever mentioning her name? What he didn’t know was that it was a game for her too, it amused her. She was actually kinda glad he had forgotten the name she had given him when they met, she didn't really like it, didn’t feel like it suited her. At least that way, when she was with him, she didn’t have to pretend on that aspect - she didn’t have a name, after all, so somehow this made her time with Baltar more real.
It wasn‘t, obviously, she had always planned on insinuating herself into his life on the long term, but somehow with time it had became more real. Well, everything he knew about her (and it wasn’t much) was still fake, but at least she was enjoying herself. So much, in fact, that she had knowingly dragged on her work with Baltar, in order to spend more time with him. She’d told herself it was under the pretence of cautiousness, that she had to make sure her cover was secure and that everything was right for the mission to succeed. In reality, though, she could probably have obtained what she needed much faster, only, that would have put a end to the necessity of her cover, and she didn’t want that. She’d spend a lot more time with him than was necessary, just because she wanted to. Truth be told, she liked his company.

There was just something about the man. He was obnoxiously pretentious and quite possibly the most egotistical man she had ever met, and somehow she found it attractive. It was astonishing, really, the way he actually believed the grandiose persona he had made himself to be. His seemingly limitless capacity for self-deception was fascinating. She realized it was a bit twisted, but she knew her was a flirt, knew he slept with plenty of other women but it didn't bother her, she actually enjoyed watching him charm women - which he did, even when she was there, which she found strangely honest, it a way. (She got jealous only once, but there was attenuating circumstances, humanity was about to be destroyed and she had wanted to spend her last few moments with him before he died. She had wanted to tell him about herself.)

She was glad he had been her mark too, it was kind of a perfect match. Gaius didn't like to talk about his past, and so he never asked about hers - or maybe it was by lack of interest - either way, it suited her, she didn't have to make up one. He was easy to distract and could talk about himself and his accomplishments for hours, without ever asking about her. That was fine by her too. His work truly was fascinating, she realized after a while, and despite everything, the man actually was brilliant, and so she enjoyed listening to him. She also very much enjoyed challenging him, when she could. He’d get all riled up and there would be this fire in his eyes. Yes, Gaius Baltar liked his work. He also very much liked proving himself right.

And so she kept coming back, even when it wasn't necessary, just to spend time with him. Most of it was spent in bed, it was true, but it wasn‘t always for cover. In fact, it was barely ever for cover. She wasn't so surprised that even after two years, this Casanova of a no strings man still wanted her, after all they’d made her model look the way she did exactly for that purpose. What had surprised her though, was that she kept wanting him more as time passed. Sometimes she’d sneak into his house and crawl into his bed, in the middle of the night, waking him up with her touches and her kisses. (He never gave her a key but she could always get in and he quickly stopped asking about it. It was just the way things were.) She found herself addicted to his touch, to the feel of his hands on her. Gaius Baltar was a lady’s man, and he had the skills to prove it.

She enjoyed his touches when they were in public too, his hand firmly locked around her waist as they walked around town, while he looked upon the crowd in superiority. She liked to think it was partly because of her, knew it probably was. She was a sort of trophy to him. But not always, not when they were alone. They could have so much fun then. They’d drink and talk about politics and science and the latest media gossip, and he still had this superior tone in his voice, but that was okay, because it was who he was. Then they could also spend hours sitting on the balcony of his house, with his arms around her, starring at the gorgeous view of the lake, she would listen to him talk about himself, or they would just sit in companionable silence. Either way, it felt nice.

So he didn’t remember her name, but he knew what her favorite drink was, and how she took her coffee in the morning. He knew of her uncommon belief in the one true God, and didn’t try to convert her. He also had this uncanny ability to sense when she was cold and always covered her with a blanket. That was enough for her.

She had asked him if he loved her, spun it as a joke, but she had wondered for real, if underneath it all, there was something more for him. Maybe. She wondered if she loved him, too. Probably. Then, as he was about to die, the answer was definitely.

i've only seen her on tv twice but sadface, truths of hollywood. she's so brilliant.

yesssssss.

i can see that. i can't really see will as a ... sexual person so i just... don't try. but.

I love you so much right now I'm finding it hard to breathe. This is everything I could want and more in a Gaius/Caprica fic. (Also, I have thought of all this head canon about like, Gaius having Caprica in his phone as like, 'darling,' and this touched on it AND HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I DO, SO MUCH.)

Chuck, Awesome/Ellie, Day of the week onesies
