I have thoughts on Angel, but they're not well developed. And I have thoughts on WW, several eps in fact. I'm savin' 'em. I want to talk about underwear.

I have groups of underwear. We all do, I think. And I'm not much of a collector. I have many pairs because I hate doing laundry. But I find shoes far sexier than even the sexiest La Perla. But still, I do have categories. The ones I hate, but won't throw away. The ones I love and save for certain outfits. The ones that really should be rags, but the whole laundry thing keeps 'em in rotation. But I had no idea this wasn't just a girl thing.

At 22, feeling remarkably old, worldly and sophistacated (and yes I'm laughing at myself as I write this), I sat in a tiny hotel room in Rome, raining pouring down outside, bourbon flowing freely, although I had the only glass because I was a girl, and technically the teacher. Everyone else had paper cups, snagged from the maid who thought these American college students were cute and messy and not too much trouble. I sat on the bed with this gaggle of boys and talked about underwear. And was amazed to discover that they had categories for their underwear, and reasons for not throwing away the rattiest boxers (because when you have a category for something, clearly you can't throw it away). I was happy, and highly amused - boys being boys is highly entertaining in Rome, in the rain, with free bourbon - and they endeared themselves to me with their enthusiasm to educate me on the boxer categories, something that no boyfriend up to that point had bothered to do. Hence, my enthusisasm for the most current SACoC challenge.

So, here's offering number 2. It's NC-17 kids, for sex. Oh, and I say fuck. But then, I've yet to write a story where I don't. Was supposed to be pure smut. It deviated a little. I like that, when the story goes where it wants. Even when it starts out as a contrivance. Spoilers for HR and for WSS:FA. Needs a beta.

Blatantly stolen from [livejournal.com profile] vonnielake:

* "Are you sure it wasn't a girly scream?"

* All of Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. Every single second. And Tooms.

* Scully's Season 4 hair.

* Locking Krycek in the missile silo.

* "Hope, D'Argo. It's what keeps you going. You're going to see your son. I'm going to get home. Hope. I have hope... or I'm nothing." Because he has no idea how much more hope he has to lose, and what will replace it. And the end of LATP, that kiss, and silence and John's cat in the cream smile.

* The final scene from ITLD. John with equations written on his arms, silent and still looking at his notebook. Aeryn sitting next to him, chasms between them, sighing, closing her eyes. The stars framing them both.

* "What does that taste like?" "Yesterday."

* All of Unrealized Realities.

* Abbey Road.

* Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde

* Cracked corn and I don't care. And Pimpmobile. And Ass.

* "I'm gonna build my own casino. With blackjack. And Hookers."

* Rygel

* Pretty men in leather pants.

* The actual album cover for Sticky Fingers.

* The opening scene of the Angel pilot. The two stakes and that car.

* The staking/jerking off motion in Hush. Actually, most of Hush.

* "It's beer o'clock. Where the hell is my riot?"

* "It's not my fault." and "I like nice men." "I love you." "I know." There's not much I don't love about the original Star Wars, though.

* A Hard Days Night. "That's no little old man. That's me grandfather."

* Max's In the Company of Ghosts

* Maayan's Sleep While You Drive

* The tag to Different Destinations. It's a perfect episode. Really.

* "I don't want to know how to say yam in Latin."

* Aeryn's coat with the red lining.

* Faith

* Jenny Calendar's death.

* Giles. Giles unemployed.

* The Pirates of Penzance playing as Ainsley walks into her office.

* Cold Water by Damien Rice

* Arizona Highways by Fialka and Strangers and the Strange Dead by Kipler

* John singing a phrase from Loch Lommond.

* The Gift

* Angel locking the door on the lawyers, leaving them to be devoured by their literal hubris.

* Die Me, Dichotomy, but particularly the funeral. Because no matter how many times I watch, I'm still shell shocked at that point.

There are many, many more things. But I need to go demand ritual sacrifice from the achitects for giving my 800 words when I needed 300. That thing I said last week about lawyers, and text. I'm extending it. And I'm slashing and burning their words as I go.
