Euro 2012 and a Meme

[redfiona99]

I've nothing much to say about the group D games other than Gerrard, Ibrahimovic and Shevchenko all played a captain's innings. Especially Shevchenko. Quite frankly, I hope a lot of pundits choke on their words.

Molly/Regal

Here's the first one

7 - Band/Singer

He made sure to stay in the background when the press were around. A man with his history shouldn't even be in the band of conservative country's darling.

Except he'd been there every step of the way for Molly's eight year overnight success story, and he wasn't throwing her into the pit of vipers that is the music industry without some protection.

(In which Regal pines for Molly, who is a Taylor Swift-like country singer [complete with performing in bare feet]. He used to play in a band that toured with Black Sabbath, back in the bad old days. He doesn't think that Molly would, could ever consider him so he just busily tries to keep her safe. Obviously there would be a happy ending, I'm just not sure how the rest of it goes.)

02. Dystopian

It was no surprise that Inspector Regal of the Ministry was visiting the House of the Grey Sisters. The Sisters were the only people who were allowed into (and back out) of the wastelands, to tend to the outcasts, but they were monitored. Rebels were everywhere, according to Government news.

The Sisters had converted their grounds to farmland, vegetables mostly, with some chickens and goats. No government rations went to the Wastelands, it was the only way the Sisters could provide for the outcasts.

He took one of the sisters, Sister Molly, out to interrogate her by the tomato vines.

Of course, his superiors wouldn't like what he was saying.

"Have you heard anything more about the water pipes?" Molly asked.

"No."

"It is urgent."

"I know. The Ministry know there's a mole, and I think they've narrowed it down to my department. They've tightened all the security protocols, and made everyone change their passwords, so I've got to gather them again."

"Be careful."

"Trust me, I am. There's nothing like working next to the gallows to sharpen your precautions."

"I mean it."

"I know." Regal moved to hold her hand, but Molly pulled away.

"You know I can't. I'm presumin' enough on the Sister's kindness as it is." Hiding in plain was the best way of getting things done, and being a Grey Sister was the quickest way of communicating with the rebels that had been caught and cast out, and, while there was still surveillance of the Sisters, they had an easier time of it than most citizens. "One day, when this is all over."

"If we win and if we're still alive."

"That's why we leave the optimism to me."

....This is totally amazing and I really want more.

You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback. What I need is to convince someone who writes thrillers well to write the rest of it.

[one-more-cherry.livejournal.com]

Aww!

01. D/S - (I'm not sure if you've ever read any of the Directed-verse [various BNFs in Stargate: Atlantis fandom writing porn masquerading as social commentary], but basically people are sorted into doms and subs and are held to various social stereotypes.)

He ought to hate her. He's spent years fighting against what he is, sucessfully he thinks, take the nonsense with 'the man's man'; any deference in him is put down to politeness, and his general reserve to British stuffiness.

And it's all fallen apart, under those tiny delicate hands. She's all kindness, absolutely sure of what she wanted done but courteous while being that. All he wants is to obey her.

Duude, never heard of the verse but this is beautifully written!
