WW Fic: Five Things That Weren't Comforting

There are some fics that you know you could have written better, but you're too lazy to go back and fix, and it's been hanging around for too long to be enthusiastic about it anymore. This is one of them. If I put more time into it, it could be a far better piece, but it's flaws aren't enough to totally wreck it. At the moment, considering I've got so little time to spend on betaing or writing, I think I'm better just to fix it up and post this, otherwise it won't get done until January, and there's a chance that I'll forget about it altogether.

Considering that this headache has refused to lift (went to the doctors and apparently it's a virus. The reason I don't have the painkillers is a long and boring entry for another time), there's probably a variety of small errors that I've managed to insert even after oxoniensis and therealjae did wonderful jobs as betas. Hence, any great phrases are probably theirs, and the shocking ones are mine. *g*

Five Things That Weren't Comforting (or, Five things that never happened to Sam Seaborn).

I don't want to leave the house, but I need to go down and collect painkillers. (Basically, I got a prescription from the doctor, and went to the chemists just to find I had no cash or bankcard on me. So, I need to walk back up. *grrr* Stupid walking.)

Just before I do, I'm making a list of fics I owe people:
- celli is owed a Dan and Casey writing fic
- thornsilver is owed an SV fic. (I haven't forgotten, I just haven't started. I do suck.)
- There's a Justin/Brian fic for seperis
- I promised oxoniensis a Clex Hexed Sexchallenge fic entry
- I've also signed up for oxoniensis's Intoxication challenge (but that may end up being a pic of some sort. Still haven't decided.) Did a Buffy/Riley wallpaper. Yay, me.
- I've signed up for slodwick's second A picture's worth a thousand words challenge
- Also signed up for westwingsanta, but I don't know the details of my assignment yet. (If there's any WW fans who haven't signed up for that, go now. It's a great idea.)
- Hmmm... There's an SV WIP and a couple WW WIPs, but they're not actually promised to anyone, so they don't count.

Have I missed out on anyone? Is there anything I promised I totally forgot? If so, remind me, or it'll never get done.

Stealing the Rec-Go-Round meme from Celli. Basically, rec me a fic that you've written, and then post this request in your LJ. Bring on the recs, people.

Just made a Buffy/Riley wallpaper for the intoxication challenge. Go me.

Man, I never realised just how much Riley looks like Angel. I'm not kidding. You much around with the colourings a little, and from a certain angle, you'd swear it was Angel. (Hence, I now have a wallpaper where you have to look twice to be sure it's Riley...)

Hmmm... Such a lot of TV choices tonight. There's Nip/Tuck, with the utterly tasty Julian McMahon (I have a thing for dark-haired, blue-eyed, clean-cut pretty boys. Kerr Smith; Rob Lowe; Julian McMahon; etc), or there's another medical drama with John Hannah.

I think it's time to run around looking for tapes...

You know, I know it's very wrong, but after watching the first ep of Nip/Tuck yesterday, I was left with a total urge to slash Christian (Julian McMahon) with Matt (his best friend's rather pretty son). It's totally wrong, but it could almost work.

Nip/Tuck

*snerk* Possibly I've just read too much slash fic, but for some reason I can't help thinking that one guy taking another guy to get laid "to boost his confidence" is incredibly homoerotic. It's odd that even though their in a strip bar, surrounded by signs of heterosexual desire, I still consider it so slashy. (Of course, the fact that it was Christian and Matt...*g*)

Ha! And then, Christian goes off with the hooker, can't get it up and the hooker accuses him of being gay ("Maybe you like boys").

Damn this show for making me want to write a fairly distasteful pairing. I mean, canonically, Christian's lusting after Matt's mom (his best friend's wife... currently seperated). Not to mention that the show hinted at Christian being sexually abused as a child (in the flashback he only looked about six, and the guy was just referred to as Mr somebody...). Hence, him sleeping with a 16 year old should be so very wrong.

And I'm still tempted by it...
