fightingthecageI am writing right now and it feels damn good. And I feel like doing more so here, lets try this meme.
Choose one or two or however many and a character/pairing and I'll try and write something for it. You can also ask for original if you're interested in seeing what my pretty little brain comes up with myself.
1) we would all be fools to pray for justice
2) great charity, bad tactics
3) a place beyond fear
4) prayer is a dangerous business
5) trying to build a tower out of custard
6) I will not fail death
7) all things out of season
8) lit like a burning city
9) now explain why you glow in the dark
10) expect to be valued accordingly
11) such a natural, normal lethality
12) choose good actions without good knowledge
13) the confusion of mind you dub honor
14) you were born to be betrayed
15) how long have I been walking down this road?
16) any man can be kind when he is comfortable
17) I've seen him cheat himself
18) these prizes are for living men
19) in desperation, anything becomes possible
20) I'd storm heaven for you, if I knew where it was
21) ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be
22) with the right to rule came the duty to protect
23) they will be vastly unlucky in their children
24) but he quit just an hour too soon
25) matter remembered itself so very clearly
26) the structure of her nose alone
27) all the words in all the languages of the world that ever were or will be
28) like trying to weave a box of shadows in which to carry water
29) time and scale, both altered out of reckoning
30) even your darkness shall be treasured then
Fandoms - 24, SPN, Good Omens, Queer as Folk, The West Wing, Milliways, James Bond, the Amber Chronicles. Any other books/movies you know I've seen, I feel like casting a wide net tonight.
In other news, I finally bought myself the Band of Brothers boxset. I've been meaning to get it for over a year - and it's been on sale in HMV for about that long too - so I finally got it. I don't have it as, naturally, I lent it to Steve straight away. But I am looking foward to seeing it when he's finished with it which will probably be Wednesday.
I'm dying to mainline all seven seasons of TWW too. But then, I usually am. I just never start because once I do, I know I wont be able to stop and that's a lot of TV watching to face up to. Maybe this summer.
You know I was bitching about work the other day because I was dreading this weekend? Well, I'm two days into it and it hasn't been too bad so far. Yesterday wasn't as busy as expected; today was but because we were well prepped, we pretty much bossed it. Two days to go! I will relax so much when they're done. And also go shopping because there's a Blackberry in the Orange shop with my name allllll over it.

But he quit just an hour too soon
Date: 2009-04-12 12:16 am (UTC)‘Don’t say that. You don’t mean that. He thought he was doing the right thing.’
‘I’ll kill him.’
Chloe doesn’t reply to that. Her face just falls and she looks away, out the window of the van.
‘...yeah. Well.’
Tony falls silent, screwing his eyes up in frustration and then, suddenly, dropping his face to his hands.
‘Why didn’t he wait?’
‘You know why.’
Of course he does. He knows Jack better than just about anyone. Anyone alive, that is.
‘The intel wasn’t sound. He should have fucking waited.’
‘If he had, it might have been too late.’
Tony hates Chloe sometimes. Because for Christ’s sake, sometimes you need to let logic go and stop being right for once in your screwed up, pedantic, bitchy little life.
‘It’s his own fault,’ he says again, and he tries to stop the shake in his voice. ‘...he should have waited.’
Chloe sighs and stares at the traffic they’re passing on the freeway, through the window of the van taking them back to FBI headquarters, where they’ll be taken into custody. Again. Only this time, there’s not going to be any Presidential intervention, no daring rescues, no talking their way out of it. Nothing but jail, and for a good long time. Maybe Jack knew it and made a different choice.
‘I know Tony. Another hour and we’d have the antidote. And he’d be alive.
I’m going to miss him too.’
