Ok, I'm trying to feed the bunnies in drabble size increments so they'll leave me alone. [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda, this is all your fault. Thank god it's really short.



He doesn’t always dream of death and destruction and soft, innocent skin melting away in a bomb blast amidst a field of flowers. Peach fuzz cheeks turning into bare skulls, dark hair aflame and not even a spare moment to scream for mercy. He never dissolves, is simply left alone, standing in the ashes, his hands clasped around the chalk white joints of tiny finger bones.

No, sometimes he dreams of a stair step family, three heads of glossy black hair and mischievous eyes pulling him along, teasing him with their white teeth and force of will. He’d like to be the indulgent father, the adored papa unable to refuse his girls anything. He’d really like to sit, white haired and southern unintelligble, at a big table across from his beautiful wife surrounded by the lovely women who grew up from being daddy’s girls, who tease and fight and feed their babies while he presides over this madness like a king.

In the light, in the sea grey reality of his lover’s gaze, he hopes to find something in the middle. Something that means a healthy baby and a safe place to raise her and the semblance of family culled together from this imperfect union.

I'm happy to take the blame for this. If only.

Yep, all your fault. If I hadn't been able to drabble it out, though, I'd have come after you with a very serious watergun. I have to finish one plotty fic before I move on.

By the by, I've been meaning to read your last three Blue Eyes chapters - I hope to do so tonight now that icons are no longer consuming my mind.

Three chapters at once - looking forward to it.

Hope you enjoy - they actually have a semblance of plot (well, two out of the three:). And you've done such a beautiful work on the icons. You deserve a reward. You know I love the trading card theory. Any requests or new skills you'd like to acquire?

Don't want to distract you. Still haven't mastered the punch thingie you described, plus forgot what it's called.

In a spare moment, more fluffy Daddy!John?

Hmmm. Let me ponder that. I think I could maybe do a scene or two after I finish Chapter 10. (The punch is a palm strike, but if you do it with your fist closed - thumb on the outside - it's just a regular old punch).

Problem for punch is I can't close my fist all the way for effective clout - nails too long and hurt hand like heck if I try.

Palm strike - that what it is! Thanks.

hee hee. The palm strike should be your weapon of choice then, aside from the option of clawing someone's eyes out:) I'm working on being cigarette free, so no nails for me right now.

Heh. I probably could do some damage. With my thumbnails, I can slit through that thick lined yellowish tape from one end to the other on a big box.

The imagery presented in this is stunning. The use of colors...just gorgeous.

No names needed, just colors.

Wonderfully peaceful.

Ahh, thank you. I'm trying to prove to myself that i don't need to use 1000 words when 200 will suffice:)

Wow. That's a lot of yum stuffed into that short story. Very vivid.

Glad you liked it. The bunnies are just getting bite sized amounts until I'm nearing completion with the plotty fic taking over my computer.

Thanks. I'd love to think that it'd be all happy families, but they'd be lucky to get the kid born.
