Thursday, November 15 ( 09:47 ) WitchQueen the slashy one Wrong turn in the XF Lyric Wheel VIKenny is positioned near the entrance of the bar, watching all of the fresh meat come in. The night looks like a bust, it's nearly midnight and none of the men here have that look he wants, a big, hard body that's obviously been battered, been put back together. He starts to move further in the room, make his excuses to his friends and playmates, when a murmur of approval runs through the room. He turns back to the door, and Sparky is perfectly framed in the doorway. Six feet of muscles, scars, and perfect obedience look his way, and Kenny's night has taken a turn for the better. "Sparky, heel!" The big man makes his way through the crowd to Kenny's side. Kenny puts his hand out, and the big man kisses it. "Good boy!" He rubs the nearly naked dome, behind the ears, under the chin, drags his fingers through the gray fringe. "I haven't seen you around for a while. Tell me where you've been." Sparky opens his mouth and sighs, and Kenny waits patiently for the reply. He's figured out long ago that this particular sub does something which requires a security clearance, so he won't punish Sparky for taking his time on questions about his life outside the club. "There's been…upheaval lately. A lot of personnel changes, most of them unexpected." "Poor Sparky." He rubs some more, puts a kiss on his pet's head. Kenny nods, turns, and walks to the registration desk. Sparky is at his heel, as he should be. It takes only a moment to secure a spa suite for a couple of hours. When they enter, the room turns out to be appointed in 'Modern English Hunt Club', with green carpet, lots of heavy dark wooden furniture padded in maroon, and pictures of horses on the walls. # Wednesday, November 14 ( 09:41 ) WitchQueen the slashy one AtS notesOkay, so I had this story idea where Gunn and Wesley are lovers, but kinda new, and they go to Gunn's apartment and Gunn puts in a CD and it's a bunch a sexy neosoul songs (keywords: brown, dreadlocks, ebony, coffee, etc.), and Wesley goes, "Is that, like, some kind of hint!?" and Gunn looks at him very *blink, blink* and says, "No, baby, that's the seduction mix." So, I told Té and Cassandra and Ins (but Ins was mostly asleep at that point) and they say, "That's fucking awesome," but I say, "there is no plot." This morning I come up with a plot. Actually, I realize that Sheila had had an idea that, combined with my idea, could make an entire plot: Vampire Wesley. Say that Wesley's insecurities lead him to do a magic spell in which he is turned into the epitome of cool, and secretly, in his heart of hearts, he thinks vampires are the epitome of cool, so you do the math. And the song incident is the thing that pushes him over the edge, convincing him he's a dork. and then the plot is about how they work at either reversing the vampirism or getting him a soul (without a happiness return clause, please). The only problem with this plot is that Wesley is not, you know, Willow, and inclined to use magic for something so frivolous. So, I decided that his relationship with his father means that he is slightly irrational when he's in a relationship with a man (and he knows this when he's not actually dating a guy, so he mostly doesn't). However, the irrationality usually is displayed by letting himself be abused, and he's sure that Gunn isn't abusive, so he feels like he can trust Gunn to keep the two of them straight, if not himself. Except that Gunn doesn't have any idea that Wesley feels inadequately cool, because Wesley doesn't say anything and Gunn looks up to him because of the education and natural leadership qualities displayed by our favorite rogue demon hunter. So, anyway, yeah, I figured I could show this insecurity in like, subtle exposition about a relationship with Angel, where their insecurities fed off each other, and flashbacks to an earlier, physically abusive relationship (perhaps in the Watchers?). Except now it sounds like a novel and I'm just not up to that yet, so I'll write the idea down here and maybe have use for it some day. # |
