So, final call for those who want to participate in [livejournal.com profile] cofax7's belated birthday present. I've got the file as a doc, and can send it to anyone who wants to write anything else. I'm looking to finish it and get it beta'd by the end of this week, so let me know ASAP.

Still snotty. Send bourbon. And virtual miso (I think chicken soup is sorta disgusting, unless it's Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup which I know is disgusting and love anyway). Oh, and porn. Send porn.

Chicken and Miso and Bourbon and Bodily Fluids.

Being sick is not unusual, but it still is not acceptable, in Simon's opinion. His nose is running, and Kaylee keeps trying to make him drink that ever so disgusting reconsitituted stuff that is supposed to be like chicken soup. She says it should remind him of home, of his mom, and she reminds him that they had done studies back on the earth-that-was that said it helps clean out "sinus congestion" (a polite euphemism for ugly green snot)....

River reminds him that doctors make the WORST patients, in her more lucid moments. And she somehow conjured up some miso soup, which actually does remind him of home, but which doesn't make him feel much better.

What Simon really wants is Bourbon, but he knows that the therapeutic modalities of a hot toddy are limited. And there is no bourbon to be had here on the outer reaches of nowhere.

So instead, he lays in his bunk, propped up on pillows, wishing he could taste something other than the fuzzy rat that must have somehow died and rotted in his mouth.

So he imagines the taste of bourbon. And his mind wanders back to the last time he had bourbon. And he can almost touch, feel, - well, taste, then - (gorram mixed metaphors, his analytical brain says) the tastes that followed the bourbon.

His mouth is suddenly full of pungency. She ate spicy foods, and he could tell. It only made her more attractive, more exotic. Simon lets the synasthesia of taste and texture and memory wash over him.

And in his dream-fuzzed state, he wonders what Kaylee would taste like. Sweet, he imagines. Soft. Smooth. Comforting.

And his mouth doesn't taste so awful as he drifts to dreamland.

That's lovely dear. Thank you.
From: [identity profile] raithen.livejournal.com
you are most welcome.

you are also evil. You realize, of course, that I haven't written fic EVER pre-you, and creative stuff since I was a teenager, right? and you realize that I KNOW I am messing with characters and style and probably with canon, and that it is overdrawn and that I don't care cuz it was fun to write?

and I'm glad you enjoyed!

and hey, one more therapeutic suggestion: Hot water, lemon juice (fresh or organic concentrate, if possible, real lemon if you have nothing else), gobs of honey, cayenne pepper - it should help ease the cough and the sinus congestion. Also, hot steam baths for your sinuses, add eucalyptus or tea tree oil if you have them....
From: [identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com
I've got the bath thing down (that's old hat for me with sinus infections. I buy eucalyptus by the gallon:)

But I'll try the drink.

And hee - I think you're starting to get the joy of fic:)

Oh, and porn. Send porn.

I second the drink, although my version has grated ginger instead of cayenne. Very therapeutic.
From: [identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com
Actually, that sounds really good. And the ginger sounds like a good substitute. With bourbon.

Hee - but I want specific porn right now:) Although I did enjoy your efforts immensely.

And since you're in a fic writing frame of mind, wanna add another entry to the crack!fic:)?
From: [identity profile] raithen.livejournal.com
ginger is also excellent - anything to raise the body temp and cause some sweating, which helps clear heat....

Ah, but what specific porn is it that you have in mind? Or is it merely any recs of specific porn we might happen to have?

Although I did enjoy your efforts immensely.

*beams*

Noooo, still recovering from the shock to the system caused by posting my first fic and then my first pr0n.

Hee. Yeah. Loves on you:)

Re: bourbon is NOT medicine, the doctor says ;)

Hee - bourbon is most definitely medicine.

How about an Uzi - can I interest you in an Uzi? No? Maybe some Semtex, or a small strategic nuke? :D

From: [identity profile] thassalia.livejournal.com
Hee:) An Uzi. Yes. But porn would be better.

Or your contribution to the CrackFic! C'mon. You know you wanna.

For cofax, I would... but not my fandom/s and you've already got Kerne. I reckon that covers me too. *g*

i have no bourbon, but i can send you a true story about my miso adventure. i love miso by the way. and used to put dried seaweed in it when i made it at work for a snack. one day i was having an intense work issue related conversation with a co-worker while stirring the soup and seaweed. we were kind of leaning towards each other trying figure out how to solve some issue.

as we leaned i took the chopsticks out of the miso with some seaweed attached....and we had this epiphany when we realized we were both about an inch from a snail shell that was propped on the tip of the chopstick.

it had been in the seaweed. time slooooowed, then stopped, then zigged sideways. not that i don't love escargot. but really. not in my miso. it's much better with garlic. and the shells are a tad on the crunch side. ;)

i hope you're feeling better soon, and yay for the crack!fic! story. *hugs*
