i've been safari'ing since before you were born

[bossymarmalade]

I'm confused. Is "James" a girl, or is it trannie Lance? Either way, I would laugh at this story, except that JC is apparently a Rastafarian because he loves Ja. You go, baby. I and I been in Babylon too long.

Also, I was cleaning out folders yesterday and found some TrickC thing I'd apparently written to chootoy when work was slow and we'd fic at each other. It and today's picture, not a rare one but adorable nontheless, are behind



"Don't bite at it," Chris ordered. JC blinked up at him, finger frozen in his mouth. "Don't," Chris repeated, raising one hand in a threatening fashion.

"Hurts otherwise," JC mumbled, letting the finger slide from his teeth and grimacing at the shiny, slick flicker of flesh that spiked pain once the air hit. "I hate hangnails."

Grabbing the finger, Chris turned it from side to side, squinting in consternation. "It's not really a hangnail, is it?" he remarked. "There's nothing naily about it. It's more like, a hang-cuticle or something."

"Whatever," JC said shortly. "It stings."

Chris hmmmed for a moment, then snapped his fingers. JC didn't think anybody actually did that, aside from Justin. "I know just what'll work, better than your stupid teeth," Chris announced, and dived into the nearby junk drawers. When he came up brandishing a razor blade, JC balked.

"No way, man." JC waved his hands in what he hoped was a clearly negating manner. You could never tell whether or not Chris would get the picture. "You are NOT coming near me wielding that thing."

"Don't be such a fucking baby, Jayce. Take your medicine like a man!" Chris bent the thin blade back and forth with his thumb and JC winced, practically feeling the sharp edge scrape through all the grooves in Chris' fingerprint.

Taking a deep breath, JC finally stuck his hand out, looking away. "Do it fast," he pleaded, and caught a flash of Chris' sharp white teeth before he shut his eyes.

"Trust me," Chris said, taking JC's hand, fingers slipping slightly on the warm wetness that was still there. He smoothed his fingertips along the wounded digit a couple of times, feeling the knobs of knuckle and the blood pulsing, and then bent his head, razor blade clutched tightly.

"Is it--" JC began, just as Chris said, "There, done."

JC took his finger back gingerly and examined it, finding nothing around his fingernail except a tiny groove and a bit of redness where the strip of skin had been. "Nice," he said, pleased and startled.

"Mmmm-hmm." Chris sounded muffled, and when JC looked up, he was chewing at one fingertip.

I *love* trust. *happysigh*

And you actually make me want to read that story...

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*giggle* The whole James thing confused me so much, I didn't actually read the story, just skimmed it a little. All I can say is -- it's a bad idea to have a Mary-Sue with the same name as one of the guys in the band, yo. *g*

Prettypretty icon!

And I couldn't read the story, after all. I looked at it once and ran.

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

I would laugh at this story

Didn't get far enough, because, can I say: I have never, never met a 27 year old who actually felt old? Maybe it's different in the entertainment industry, I don't know. Anyhow, it pretty much stopped me at the first line...

Also, nice little snippet there--I liked it muchly...

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I'll be turning "2 fucking 7" in December, and I sure as hell don't feel old. *g*

Glad you liked the wee snippet, and thanks for letting me know! Also, I love your icon. It's Ozma, right? That's a series of books I always meant to read and just ended up wathing the movies instead....

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I turned 27 coughsixteenyearsagocough and I don't feel old either, so I dunno...

The Oz books are cool, if not particularly deep. If the Narnia books and Madeleine L'Engle are 10s and Richie Rich comics are 1s, the Oz books are probably 3s? But for that very reason, they're pretty fast reads, and if you get the versions with John R. Neill's drawings, the art nouveau thing is sooo gorgeous.

Ooops. My multi-tasking-lack-of-attention has finally driven off the dude I was playing online backgammon with. *grin*

[evilprettykitty.livejournal.com]

Saaaaaaaaaaaaay, so am I!

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you posted this snippet after that link because otherwise I might have to hurt you. I'm sure the scars will fade in time, and your Chris and JC help very nicely. mmmm, razor. :-)

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault, it's the evil evil power of the fic! I am helpless in its clutches. *g*

[fluffontop.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. Neurotic JC and Chris and a razor blade, it just can't get any better than that (but boy can it get worse...)

-Capp.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

It could get worse. In fact, it did when I wrote that drabble about Justin and JC with a razorblade, but we won't get into that right now. *g*

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

I had skimmed over that story, and, yeah. Once I figured out that James wasn't actually Lance and in fact a Mary Sue, I ran from the room (and actually almost ripped off a toenail in doing so).

I should probably sue.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I'm certain you could sue! It might be considered self-defense, or something....

[kiffle.livejournal.com]

WEEKS PAY!! RAWK! *throws up devil horns*

I have a strange fascination with that, um, story. It's so bad. And yet...I'm going to go read what you linked. I can't stop myself. Mommy?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Shit, wait -- it's all coming back to me! They're a band, aren't they? Chock full of OCs, and they have a lot of phone conversations and stuff? Oh Jesus, I must have read this series and then forced myself to have some kind of drunken blackout or something, that must be it.

*reels in shock*

[kiffle.livejournal.com]

And you thought you could escape.

Actually, she posted in shinyandnew awhile back, and we mocked her then as well. ;)

Re: the "story" - blech.

Re: the picture - mmmm...

Re: your ficlet - Quite lovely. More?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Awww. You're so sweet. Maybe once this fershlegenah writing block I'm in goes away, I'll be able to actually...write. Heh.

[silvrsolace.livejournal.com]

ahahahahaa...chris would so do that. He would totally tell somebody not to do that and do it himself! I love it!!! *G*

and the picture. I need JC's hat. Well okay I don't need it but damn....so cute! and chris.....eeeee!!! so nice! mmmmm...excellent!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*drifts away*
