Drabble requests

I'm stuck, stuck, stuck on the Van Helsing things.

Time for a kick start.

Give me a fandom and either a character, a pairing, an item, a title, or all of the above. Get a 100-word drabble in return.

No Van Helsing for obvious reasons, and also no CLAMP. Otherwise anything I'm vaguely familiar with is fair go. This includes Coldfire, Underworld, V for Vendetta (comic) and anything up to and including Night Watch (Russian version).

First 10 will get written today.

EDIT: *sweatdrop* 6 requesters so far, 4 of which want pr0n. Um. People?

Either:
Herbert/Spike and an incident involving ice cream or chocolate sauce.

Gerald/Damien and a discussion of the incident with the sword and the socks.

Dracula/Viktor from Underworld, just for amusements sake :D

Finally! Someone else besides me who picked up on the socks!

The socks thing had me in stitches. I was drinking tea and sprawled on the couch - needless to say I inhaled scalding hot tea, snorted, had a choking fit and plummeted off the couch in a heap :D

The image is just priceless. Both you and Damien. ;-)

*takes a bow* I try my best :)

Someone really should put this info to good use in fics^^

[identity profile] fyrie.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm presently cursed with the mental image of a woken-from-sleep Damien, hair sticking up in ever direction, unshaven and grumpy as all get out roaring obscenities at a demon and charging with his socks on :)

[identity profile] carmentalis.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
But it's a good mental image!

[identity profile] fyrie.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not when I'm writing a torture scene with vampires! *flails*

[identity profile] carmentalis.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Give Damien a ficlet, maybe he'll shut up then. ;-)

Torture scene? Are either Spike or Herbie are involved on the torturing side, by any chance?

[identity profile] fyrie.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
*eyes the 150 words* Meh... I shouldn't start ficcing a new fandom.

Yes and yes :)

[identity profile] carmentalis.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
But Coldfire is such a nice fandom...

*squee*

Titleless drabble-thing re. Damien and socks.

Taking the chance to soak the crusts of demon gore from his clothing had seemed a good idea at the time. Keeping his socks on to shield his feet from the prickled shrubs along the river bank, he had let the clear water wash away the black grime, then draped the his pants and shirt over low branches to dry out.

Yeah. Good idea. Clean clothes and moving without crunching every step was always good but realising a damned big demon was creeping towards you when your clothes were strung out by the fire to dry wasn’t the best feeling in the world.

Going down fighting in the middle of nowhere wouldn’t be entirely unexpected.

Going down fighting in the middle of nowhere wearing nothing more than a pair of white ankle socks with holes in the toes and patches on the heels would just be embarrassing.

Reaching sideways, he wrapped his hand around the pommel of his sword, the blade hissing softly. He shifted his weight onto his feet, leaning forward a little, saw the glitter of bright eyes. If he hadn’t known what it was, he would have sworn it was laughing at him.

“To hell with you,” he growled. “I like these socks.”

And he attacked.

*ROTFLMAO* Great drabble!!!

[identity profile] carmentalis.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I made a mention of it already. ;-)

But it should get featured prominently.

[identity profile] ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Where?^^ *hasn't had her cup of coffee yet*

[identity profile] carmentalis.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
My cathedral PWP. I believe you even complained about the socks. ;-)

[identity profile] ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Heresy, was it? *really needs to go brew coffee*

[identity profile] ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's one of my favourites. A guilty pleasure, like dark chocolate^_^

THANK YOU! (For the socks idea, I mean.)

[identity profile] fyrie.livejournal.com 2006-04-01 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
I admit it's the thing that made me 100% a fangirl of Damien :D If I'd had any doubts, that line made me smitten with him forever :D
