The Shiny Happy Comment Ficathon!

[dollsome]

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. :)

community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

It is, at least, better than the teapot recital.

Jeff, Annie, Shirley, Abed, and Pierce sit in the third row, all busting out their own respective expressions of shock, awe, and slight fear. Except for Abed, who's pretty unflappable.

"Interesting," he muses.

On the stage, Britta and Troy are locked in a tango. The premise holds great potential for hilarity. But in reality, there's not a whole lot that's funny. They're both really good. And, honestly, kind of ... well, kind of ...

"Sexy," Jeff says dully. "For some reason, this is--"

"Sexy," Pierce says, with a great deal more zest. And some pervy old man chuckles.

"I feel like I'm watching Twilight," Shirley marvels. From between her fingers, like watching the display head on will result in corneal damage.

"Except," Jeff says, "they're outsexied by pita bread. But this -- this is--"

Troy dips Britta back in a fierce, sudden movement. Their gazes burn bright into each other. Everyone gasps. Time seems to stand still.

"I feel like they're going to start making out any second," Jeff says, transfixed.

"Would it be so wrong?" Annie ponders faintly.

"Maybe," Abed says wisely, "it'd be so wrong it's right."

"Abed, that's your man up there!" Shirley chastises. "Shouldn't you go -- go claim what's yours?"

"I trust him," Abed says simply.

"I wouldn't," Shirley grumbles with a significant stageward glance.

"Guys," Jeff says in his best Group Dad Voice. "This is ridiculous. There's no way there's anything going on between Britta and Troy. Let me say it again for you: Britta and Troy."

"Yeah! That'd be as crazy as Jeff and Annie," Shirley says.

Then everyone remembers how that went.

"Oh," Shirley says weakly. Jeff and Annie very carefully scoot as far apart from each other as possible. There may have been some slight arm rest sharing going on prior to Shirley's little remark.

"Please!" Pierce snorts. "It's not like Jeff and Annie at all. You know why? Jeff and Annie aren't lesbians. There's no way Britta'd give him the time of day. Unless -- Quick. Ay-bed. This is important: is Troy a woman?"

"No," Abed says.

"There," Pierce says, crossing his arms smugly. "Problem solved."

"Not," Jeff says, "even a little bit."

"What's this going to do to the group dynamic??" Annie frets. Onstage, Britta and Troy look like they're about two seconds from licking each other's faces off.

"Hey! SHHHHH. You're ruining the show!" declares the menace sitting in front of them in a grumpy whisper.

"Shut up, Leonard," Jeff scowls. "You're fooling no one."

"Why are you guys looking at us so weird?" Britta asks after the show.

"Yeah, what's up?" Troy says. "You can't get on my case! The professor made all the dudes wear those tights."

"No, she didn't," Britta says, grinning.

"No, she didn't," Troy admits merrily.

"See, he's gay as a basket of puppies," Pierce says, with great satisfaction. "You all have got nothing to worry about!"

"What's gay about puppies?" Troy demands, sullen.

"Worry about what?" Britta says suspiciously.

"Nothing," Annie says.

"Nothing," Jeff says.

"Nothing!" Shirley trills.

"Oookay. Come on, then," Britta says. "We're all still on for dinner, right? Let's get out of here." She loops her arm absently through Troy's.

"Eeep!" says Shirley.

Britta and Troy frown at her, confused.

"Nothing," she mumbles.

THIS IS HILARIOUSLY LOVELY! You've got great voices for everyone and perfectly captured the show's humor. This scene could literally fit right into an episode.

"Abed, that's your man up there!" Shirley chastises. "Shouldn't you go -- go claim what's yours?"

"I trust him," Abed says simply.

Bahahaha! I love you.

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[clockwork-jo.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love it.

"Abed, that's your man up there!" Shirley chastises. "Shouldn't you go -- go claim what's yours?"

"I trust him," Abed says simply.
That kills me, for one. Because I have a thing for when bromances border on romantic but are patently not. Chandler/Joey, anyone?

Oh, and I have to mention, you have like Jeff's voice DOWN.

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuuuuu! :D And thank you for the Jeff Voice compliments, because writing him always makes me a little nervous! SO MUCH DRY WIT.

GOLD.

"Yeah, what's up?" Troy says. "You can't get on my case! The professor made all the dudes wear those tights."

"No, she didn't," Troy admits merrily.

FABULOUS.

EXACTLY. Because it makes NO SENSE. NONE WHATSOEVER. AND YET. AND YET.

EXACTLY.

TRUTH. ♥ Thank you!!

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[marketchippie.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE GOLDEN, WOMAN.

ALSO: TANGO.

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!

EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH TANGOS

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[michellek.livejournal.com]

This is completely awesome. For some reason, Jeff snapping at Leonard made me FULL OF JOY. (The rest of it, too, but I didn't know that my love of Jeff's hatred for Leonard matched my love of Troy/Britta dancing and A+ ensemble interaction.)

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! ♥ Hahahaha, Jeff's random Leonard hate has become so hilarious to me. I don't know why. I'm not going to question it. I'm just going to cherish the feeling.

Re: community | britta/troy (and the gang) | el tango de sexual tension

[hondagirll.livejournal.com]

Damn, this was fantastic. I loved all your voices especially Shirley's and Pierce. Just damn ♥

edit: to say I forgot to tell you your Leonard cameo made me laugh. Hard

[profshallowness.livejournal.com]

Marvellous. Everyone's reactions, Leonard's cameo and Britta and Troy afterwards were perfect.
