The fact that I took this tweet from Pete as a message to Mikey means my tin hat is getting too shiny, yeah?

I love the new promo picture.




James was reading his flist the other day and remarked that I hadn't mentioned rl stuff in my posts recently. Not that there's much to say. We've been getting the garden ready for winter. It's sad having to bin the plants we've cared for so carefully, but it's getting cold now and they were dying, just as things started to ripen. So we've brown bags full of tomatoes and peppers on the kitchen windowsill. I've had a cold this week but am feeling better now, especially as Corey has a teacher training day today so I got to sleep in. 9 plus hours of sleep. Glorious. The cold was a bit more of an issue as James goes in for his operation next week, so him catching it would have been a problem. Thankfully it looks like he hasn't. He's also planning his first scout camp as person in charge which has led to questions like, how many pizzas do you think 25 people would eat? Answer. Lots.

It was my nephew's birthday at the weekend, followed by my sister's and then my other nephew's. My sister is also in the process of moving to live with her girlfriend, which means she won't be living a few doors up any more. Which is sad but will bring our phone bill down. Other than that, nothing much has been going on. Now aren't you all glad he prodded me to share?

To end, a meme.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble ( in which I mean the actual meaning of a drabble which is one hundred words only ) of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. Bolding addition mine.
My other additions, killjoys verse only as that's where my head is right now, MCR and the usual bandom suspects. Also, a prompt would be shiny.

1. Gerard/Mikey -- heat of the day
2. Mikey and Ryan gen
3. Mikey/Pete -- Shakespeare
4. Gerard/Gabe -- visions
5. Gerard/Ray -- explosives
6. Mikey&Ryan -- detonation
7. Bob/Ray -- sunrise
8. Bob/Ray -- happy
9. Mikey/Ray -- ice
10. Mikey/Pete -- discussing basses

Bonus Gerard and Brendon, wind
Mikey and Grace, Black Parade skeleton

ETA: I forgot to say. I'm considering doing mini_nanowrimo No way could I ever do the main one, but that looks doable.

ETA2: MTV rocks is showing Na Na Na at 4. The video on my big tv in hq. I may not survive!

It's a wonderful picture. The composition is gorgeous, though each time I see it I marvel at how upright Mikey is.

I hated throwing away my plants. They tried so hard but I think we just planted them too late in the season. You got the garden finished? Awesome. Finger crossed for the spring bulbs, they always look so beautiful.

Some Gerard/Gabe for you. I'll be back for the other.


Gabe's body is warm and he's got his arms wrapped around Gerard, holding him close.

"Look," Gabe says, and his voice is hoarse, muffled through his mask. "Look, Gerard."

Gerard does, stands on the tiny balcony and takes in the buildings of Battery City, the poisoned smog that always lingers, the people who scurry to order like lobotomised rats.

"We need to fight," Gabe says. "We need to start a fucking revolution."

Gerard pictures breaking free, taking a deep breath of air that's not tainted. He swallows, says, "What if I fail?"

Gabe's grip tightens and he says, "You won't."

That's wonderful. I can see them standing like that, Gabe telling Gerard all about his vision and Gerard going from hesitant to enthusiastic. And then they have sex!

[turps]

Sex on a balcony over looking the city. I can see that *g*

Thank you.

And here's the second.


"Hit the button and you're five seconds to jump clear," Ray repeats once more.

Gerard nods and doesn't say that he knows. Ray's told him a million times, same as Frank and Dr Death, how Mikey would if he weren't so angry and actually talking to Gerard.

"You're sure?" Ray's said this too, and Gerard is sure. It has to be him that drives the truck into the compound, steer it to its target and fiery destruction.

"I'm sure," he says, and Ray presses a kiss against Gerard's mouth, says, "I'll be waiting."

A be careful, not a goodbye.

[turlough]

That's sweet! But now you've got me wondering why Mikey isn't talking to Gerard.

[turps]

Because Gerard's so insistent that he's the one that has to drive into enemy territory and blow up the truck.

Mikey's pissed that Gerard thinks he has to do everything, and doesn't get that Mikey's frightened out of his mind that things will go wrong.

[turlough]

Oh yes, of course. But they can't both drive it and Gerard thinks it's his job to do things like this, he's the big brother!

This is the problem with drabbles, they don't let you say what you need.

I should have gone with the new version of drabble that allows as many words as you want *g*

[turlough]

If you'd done that I would've been forced to disown you!! A DRABBLE IS 100 WORDS, NEITHER MORE NOR LESS!!! I HAVE SO MUCH RAGE AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO MISSUSE THIS AWESOME FORMAT!!!

You could have called it ficlets though, I woudn't have protested if those had been over 100 words ;-D

[turps]

That's why I amended the meme because so many people don't seem to know that.

Ficlets are much easier in many ways, but at least this way I've finished the thing in a day \o/
