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. :)

Sort of an on-again-off-again watcher of Glee so I hope this is kind of on the right track!

“Hey, you’re like pretty smart, right?”

Finn looked to his left and then to his right. For good measure, he looked behind him as well. Nope, there definitely wasn’t anyone else in the room Brittany could be talking to. Well, unless she was talking to an imaginary friend or something, he’d had one of those once. Of course he was like five then, but hey, whatever floats other people’s boats.

Oh, right she’d asked him a question.

“Uh, me? Not really. Maybe you should talk to Rachel or something. She’s kind of more into the school and studying thing than I am.”

But Brittany didn’t seem to be listening to him at all, which was kind of weird since she was the one who’d talked to him in the first place. She circled around him once and then gave him one good look-over with her hands on her hips.

Okay, this was getting kiiiiinda creepy.

Just as Finn was debating making up an excuse about having to go and do a thing (he hadn’t gotten far enough to think what the thing was yet), she finally said “I’ve been watching you dance.”

“You’ve been watching me dance,” he repeated, not really sure what to make of that. Sure, he’d been practicing lately to try and get better, but he didn’t think anyone had noticed.

“Yeah,” Brittany said, tilting her head to the side as she regarded him, “You kind of suck.”

Finn wasn’t sure what to say to that, so he said “Uh…”

“I can help you get better,” she said with such seriousness that he thought he’d better not laugh, “But I need something back. Like a trade.”

Wracking his brain for anything that might be a fair trade for dancing lessons, Finn came up with… nothing. He sort of shrugged and hoped the whole awkward situation would just go away.

~~~

It didn’t go away.

Finn still wasn’t sure how he’d been talked into tutoring Brittany in trigonometry, especially since math was kind of his worst subject. And this was taking into account that he didn’t really have any subjects that he was awesome in to begin with.

“So then this is the hypotenuse. I think. Well, I’m pretty sure,” he said pointing to the line that looked the longest on the triangle.

Brittany nodded, her eyes fixated on the line with great intensity.

“And then there’s this thing that Mr. Hinkle always says when you’re trying to find out the angle. Uh. Something that sounds like ‘sock it to ‘em’, I can’t remember.”

“Hippopotamus and socks and toes,” Brittany said like she was a little dazed by the idea, “That’s a totally weird combination.”

~~~

He’s spent at least an hour trying to work his way through the routine that Brittany’s running him through, and Finn’s pretty sure he’s getting worse.

“Look,” he said, “I’m happy to just stand at the back and like… wave my arms around or something. You really don’t have to do this. I didn’t do a very good job teaching you trig anyway.”

“Do the body-wave move again,” she responded while inspecting her nails, acting like no words had actually come out of his mouth.

Finn sighed and rubbed his face wearily with one hand before attempt number he-didn’t-even-know-anymore of the body-wave move, feeling (and looking) more like a wobbly octopus made of rubber instead of a totally sick dancer like Mike Chang. Nine attempts later and he’s pretty much ready to just make a run for it, but on the tenth try Brittany squealed and clapped her hands and did one of those cheerleader fist-pumps into the air because it’s finally – finally – looking less like an gorilla suffering from a seizure.

And okay, he had to admit it felt pretty cool.

~~~

Everyone in the Glee Club stared as Brittany showed her C+ trigonometry quiz to Finn and he performed a happy dance that looked like a cross between a hip-hop step and the hokey-pokey. When they moved into some sort of patty-cake-down-by-the-roller-coaster-with-Miss-Mary-Mack-Mack-Mack clapping game and stepped out into a slide complete with pointed gun-fingers, a few mouths even dropped open.

“What is even going on here?” huffed Rachel from her seat.

“Obviously the beginning of a beautiful and deeply weird friendship,” Kurt answered.

Thanks for the prompt, it was fun to write and I'm glad you liked it :) I don't think I'll ever get over this show being canceled, haha.

The Stefan/Elena steered me wrong! :) Maybe sometime you could explain Kate/Juliet, if you like. Someone asked me to write a fic of them once and I did it but I had to create this unseen backstory to really pull it off. I'd love to see a shipper's perspective on their relationship - though personally I see no reason why they can't be friends, at least.

Doctor Who - Amy/Doctor - "You may now kiss the bride"

*APPLAUDS*

feeling (and looking) more like a wobbly octopus made of rubber instead of a totally sick dancer like Mike Chang

Hahahahaha! This is ADORABLE. ♥ I will now yearn to see this beautiful and deeply weird friendship on my TV screen every week.

GENIUS.

This was de-lightful! My favorite part was Damon calling Elena 'our' girlfriend and only packing her underwear. Hee!

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Esme/Olaf + Carmelita Spats - family is in

Community- Britta/Vaughn- how hacky-sack improves hand-eye co-ordination

Awwww, thank you! I thought the TVD fandom needed a little lightheartedness after the wallops that the last two eps delivered.

I'm grinning because of this comment! :D

Hahah! Thank you for the review and the prompt! :D

(Can't you totally just see Damon trying to pack Elena a suitcase thoughtfully before just deciding that anything she needs, she can borrow from him? They're going to be the most adorable couple, I swear.)

(Can't you totally just see Damon trying to pack Elena a suitcase thoughtfully before just deciding that anything she needs, she can borrow from him? They're going to be the most adorable couple, I swear.)

I honestly thought that while packing he went, 'what do I want Elena to wear?' decided on lingerie and sexy boots, and borrowing his clothes was a plan B.

Thanks :)

Aww, this was really sweet and fun to read! I love that Ron and Harry were so completely aghast at the mere mention of camping (even though it's really quite sad in a way!) and that last scene ♥

(I'm totally supposed to be doing work, but don't tell. And I so went there with the title.)

Snow has trapped all of those not fortunate enough to leave early for the holidays. The white precipitation falls thick and heavy outside.

Ainsley watches from the window. Snow isn’t a foreign concept; she did go to Smith and Harvard. But it still manages to bring about a bit of wonder in her every time she sees it. North Carolina on average doesn’t receive a lot of the stuff, at least not in Raleigh so far from the mountains.

She sighs. The pavement below is completely hidden. She’d already called her family earlier that afternoon, the bearer of the bad news: she won’t be home for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It will be at least be the day after before she makes the drive two states down.

She’ll survive. She has essential food items and can survive on that and holiday movies on the TV from her childhood.

Someone knocks on her door. Looking through the peephole, Ainsley smiles at who is on the other side. She’s glad she’s wearing the good Harvard sweats and not the ripped up pair. She opens the door and says, “You stuck here too?”

Sam brushes flakes from his overcoat, white against black. “What you get for waiting till the last minute to fly out.”

“Or drive in my case.” She moves to the side, and gestures for him to enter the apartment. “No reason to spend it alone.” What they have is new, too early for holidays spent together. But this is a special case, she thinks. Allowances can be made.

He gives her a sheepish look. “That’s what I thought. I brought wine,” he shakes the bottle in his hand before handing it over.

It’s a Californian and she grins. “I’ve got some sugar cookies that would go great with this.”

Sam laughs, blue eyes bright and mouth pulled up at the corners. “Of course you do.”

She grabs two glasses and her wine opener, along with the plate of tree shaped cookies. “Don’t laugh,” she orders. “Or you don’t get any. And you can’t watch any of the Christmas movies.”

He’s taken his coat off now and joins her near the couch. “Well, I do like those.”

“That’s what I thought.”

It’s A Wonderful Life is only thirty minutes in. They sprawl out and watch. The cookies and the wine both disappear. Outside the snow continues to fall. There are worse ways to be trapped.

AWWWW. SNOWED IN TOGETHER FIC. Well, sort of snowed in. This was JUST what I needed to read tonight.

Thank you, darling. ♥

Yay. I'm glad you liked. I wrote it and then was like, "What is this? What did I write." And then it became a game of how many holiday/Christmas related things can I sneak in here?

<3 Good. I'm glad that it was good for you.

the cuteness and funnyness levels are going to kill me...
Lilo's everybody talks about stich that way was one of the crowning momments for me!

30 rock - jack and Liz - "It's not a bag, It's Prada !"

Sanctuary, Kate/Will, first kiss (and the five after)

oh how I miss them... the first seasons when they were all there were just so awesome

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

your icon wins forever

Neela especially loathes treating the crazies. Surly children, hypochondriacs, vagabonds that reek of pot and urine, prima donnas… they all bring their trials, but nothing—and she verily means nothing—irks her quite so much as the crazies.

“I need you to lick my balls,” a particularly gruesome man, recumbent on a cot unceremoniously parked outside of the bathroom, wheezes at her. He draws out each word slowly as if to make his insanity clearer. He is either drunk off his ass or in serious need of a psych consultation.

“Sir, I would like to ask you to refrain from speaking,” she calmly states as she reviews his chart. Even as the words cross her lips she knows they are as a useless as the “energy drink” she downed about an hour ago that has only made her jittery with her tiredness.

“Come on, you know you’re a cheater,” he chuckles.

Cheater? She asks herself. The word implies that the man knows that she is in a relationship, a presumption that she finds unsettling. Then she remembers her ring. So many years without one, and she forgets it’s there, sometimes.

“If I were a cheater, I would never cheat with you,” she retorts. “Wait one moment while I find somewhere else for you to park.” She walks off to find out if the crushed pelvis behind Curtain 6 has been taken to surgery yet.

For reasons unknown she thinks about Mr. Ball Licker later that night while she lies in bed. She thinks about herself. She’s never been a serial dater, and she’s happy for that. Not for herself. For Gallant. For Michael. Because of her shyness, and perfectionism, and foreignness and just… everything that she is, and the world is—she’s gone long stretches without intimacy before. She’s learned to validate herself, to console herself, to live the life of a person that doesn’t have that… someone to take care of her emotionally. So she doesn’t cheat. She can wait. She can be faithful while her man is very far away.

Although lately, it hasn’t been as easy. To just… do without. To content herself with emails, erratic phone calls and an occasional video chat. Not since… not since Ray entered the picture. It’s not easy to be alone when there is someone, someone bright and cheerful and uncomplicated, who takes the edge off. He’s sweet, Ray. Thoughtful. She likes the way he anticipates when she needs coffee… or when she needs to talk. He’s slightly nuts, but in the best way, the way that makes life more fun and less dreary; she could use more nuts in her life. And she can never miss the way his eyes sparkle when he suddenly turns around and she's there behind him. He can’t mask the excitement. She’s not sure she can either.

Sometimes at night, when she’s alone in bed, she imagines that in another life, another space, another time, where life wouldn’t be so complicated, that she would turn over in bed (where cold sheets lie now) and there Ray would be. He might tuck her tousled hair behind her ears with his calloused hands, lean in close and say something naughty but funny (so funny) and then tell her how beautiful she is. He might kiss her on the forehead, behind her ear—he might get lost in her neck, the stubble from his face caressing her skin. And she would let him, too, because in that world, it wouldn’t be wrong to touch, to feel, to hope... to love. She could be treasured, doted on, worshipped. And it would be right. Because she would belong to Ray and he would be hers.
