The Mouse's Roar

wrote another drabble! yay for creativity! it's all because of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1XUbJEPShE (or download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?jzmj03wq2dw) and the August 10th prompt at 31_days

Title: Gently Into that Good Night
Day/Theme: Aug. 10 - out of the lightning dream
Series: Cowboy Bebop
Pairing: Spike/Julia

It felt like she would never stop falling, like she was floating in midair, like time had stopped. It started again suddenly, and she was on the ground before he could blink, like a crumpled doll, broken and still. It felt unreal, impossible, that after all this time apart, all this time he’d spent looking for her… She couldn’t leave him like this, not again. It couldn't be true. He turned her over on his lap, and her eyes slipped open, like she was half asleep.

“It’s all just a dream,” she murmured, before going limp in his arms. If it was a dream, did that mean he was still sleeping? That she’d woken up somewhere, without him? Yes, it had to be a dream, because this couldn’t be his life. This couldn’t be all there was to it. This suffering, this loneliness, this couldn’t be living. He would wake up now, he’d leave this dream and find her again. Vicious would do it, Vicious would shake him into consciousness. He owed his former partner that much.

And when that sword plunged into his chest, he didn’t feel it at all. He could feel the blood pouring out of his wounds, the gun in his hands, the roaring in his ears, but there was no pain. And then it was quiet, and there was light. When he fell, it was like that odd sensation of settling back into your body right before you wake in bed. He knew then that he would see her again soon.




::sigh:: as much as it makes me want to cry, I love the ending to this series.. it's so freaking shakespearean!

Sorry for taking so long! Here's the little drabble from smartycat 's prompt: Corn on the cob/Character: Faye Valentine

Faye Valentine did not eat corn on the cob. There was just no attractive way to do it. And if Faye couldn’t do something in a sexy way, it just wasn’t worth doing at all. So what if she was hungry? A girl didn’t maintain her figure by eating every time she felt like it after all. No matter what kind of happy sounds Ed was making while gnawing at that bright yellow piece of Genetically Modified Organic Produce, she wouldn’t lower herself to that level.

Ed grinned at her in mid-gnaw, yellow-white kernels lodged in her teeth and clinging to the edges of her lips. Faye raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips, before turning up her nose with a tiny sniff. That is exactly why you’d never catch her dead eating one of those things.

“Look Faye-Faye! It’s you!” Ed brandished her unfinished cob proudly. Sure enough, the corn had been eaten off cleanly from all but two little strips around the middle, looking remarkably like it was wearing her tiny pleather top and shorts. Ed had even colored the top black and drawn in a little red smirk with marker on the pointed end of the cob. The real Faye growled and lunged at Ed.

“Why you little—“

I don't know how many of you guys know about 31_days but it's a comm for writing drabbles based on the theme for a given day of the month...I missed posting for the Aug 5 theme so i thought i'd post it here instead..

 ( Aug 5, Theme: a boy (Gundam Wing) )

and in case you're curious, here are my entries for the previous themes:

Aug 1, Theme: Be indomitable, o my heart (Emma)

Aug 2, Theme: A school of morality (Eternal Sabbath) <---dedicated to smartycat and grandlarseny

Aug 3, Theme: Like Hamlet (Cowboy Bebop) <---dedicated to cute_nessie fellow Spike/Julia fan

Aug 4, Theme: She left her life on Monday (Howl's Moving Castle) <---dedicated to coley_merrin of course, 'cause she made me watch the movie (which is awesome and i totally recommend it)

the think i like about this comm is that it makes me write outside my comfort zone (i.e. the GW fandom) and the themes are complicated and challenging... you guys should all give it a try, it's fun!

what's your cowboy bebop theme song?

i haven't heard this song... anybody know what it sounds like?

::growls at LJ server::

i jus wrote a pretty long entry but since i'm not at my home comp i had to go thru the webpage and the stupid site decided to have an error as soon as i pressed the submit button!

anyway... i was talking bout how much i love the ending of cowboy bebop because it's one of those few animes with a real ending.. and here i'm the freak who actually wrote a continuation ficlet

i've also gotten a lot of requests to finish that fic both on BI and FFN... and since it was intended to be a prologue after all i decided to work on it a bit...

so here's a ( snippet )
