Title: Demons I Get
Author: [livejournal.com profile] meredevachon
Fandom: Original
Characters: Crazy Narrator Bitch
[livejournal.com profile] tamingthemuse Prompt #35: Bouncy Balls
Rating: R for language (frequent use of the f-word in particular)
Word Count: 661
Disclaimer: I really wish I could disclaim ownership of/responsibility for this narrator. But she seems to have taken up residence in some part of my brain. So I guess you could say that she owns me as much (if not more… she would definitely say ‘more’) as I own her.
Beta: Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] swweeks for last-minute flail-reduction and beta. I couldn’t do this week after week without her help, support, and encouragement.
A/N #1: Some of you may be familiar with this narrator. She’s shown up in Sex, Lies, and Unfortunately No Videotape; Coming, Going, and Swirling the Drain; and Gotta Love That Unwellness Love. This time, she’s all on her own, and rambling even more than usual. Somebody please put a muzzle on her?!
A/N #2: This is not what I intended to write this week. I planned to finish (or at the very least continue) Terry Gilliam’s Got Nothin’ On Me, but my laptop decided to enter its death throes and I was unable to put in the time it would have taken to write that. But from my techno-woes came this voice of reason *smirk*.
A/N #3: Title, cut tag text, and opening line are a quote from Supernatural, spoken by the character Dean Winchester. That’s about the closest this gets to fannish.
Summary: An immortal meddler ponders the human condition… sort of. And has some advice for us all… sort of.

Putting a tentative number on this that may be blown out completely, but that's the number I'd like to stick to.

And sorry for the shortness of the chapter; my muse Astra and I had a discussion tonight about what course the story should take, and she basically deleted my entire chapter I had planned. Hence, I had to quickly rewrite it so it could take the form it needed to take, and it's cut in half because I still need to do surgery on the second half. But this half is an okay chapter on its own, so we'll go with it. Savvy?

EDIT: The title of this particular chapter is from "Leave the Pieces" by the Wreckers, whom I heart simply because Michy Branch is part of that. Otherwise, no. No love.

Riley told her brother, who had been sitting in front of Sophie's front door the last ten minutes and been bouncing a red ball off the door the last 5 minutes.

Prompt: Bouncy ball
Warning: Crack. (Since it appears to be all I can write.)
Pairing: None
Rating: K

Written for my dear, dear friend [livejournal.com profile] drummer_jew2002 on the occasion of her 23rd Birthday. Only late.

Summary: When you’re already going mad, what’s one more visitation? A “Maelstrom” missing scene (sort of).

A/N: Well, I pretty much decided to take the plunge and actually write the two fandoms I’ve been dancing around for a while. Only really quickly, and crossed over with each other. Go figure. It’s a little plotless, a little pointless; I just wanted to see if I could do it.

Spike reached the top of the crevice, and took a moment to catch breath that he found he was in dire need of. But before that, he glanced up at the sun. It was slowly setting now, and the first day since the Hellmouth had been closed was almost at its end. Soon it would be night again, nothing so big for Spike. He’s seen a million of them since becoming a vampire. No, he would set off after the bus once the sun set. But now, in the last moments of the sun set, he was going to enjoy it.


Angel steepled his hands together, with elbows on top of the table. 'Yes. I think I do want him brought here. But tell the men not to tell him about me. In fact, don't tell him anything at all. And I want to be informed the minute he gets to the building.' Angel stood up from the desk and walked over to the window, with glass that allowed him to be awash with sunlight that could not actually burn the skin.


I'd like to thank [livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003 for this wonderful, wonderful art, and all of you at [livejournal.com profile] tamingthemuse.

Previously: The beast stroked his back, even in his sleep seeming to need to settle his charge. One large hand cupped Will's right buttock and the other squeezed Will's fullness: it was something that had become habitual from the beast. He seemed to like to stroke, touch and squeeze Will all over, despite Will's blushes, and there was nothing Will could do about it.

Despite his fever and weakness, Will felt himself stir. His eyes flared in shock. What...?

"No!" Will whispered in distress. He had to get away from this mysterious, dangerous creature. He was sick and he wasn't himself.
