Day 08 - Holmes and Watson dance (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows)

OH MY SWEET GOODNESS THIS MOVIE. THOSE TWO ARE JUST ABSURD. Seriously, I found myself being like "Is this real life??" so many times during Game of Shadows, especially this part. They are DANCING. I CANNOT EVEN. The RDJude chemistry is incredible <33

LOL I have gotten so totally behind on this meme. I'll finish it eventually ;)

✩ A friend from work let me borrow his copy of Shelter and I FINALLY got around to watching it. It was absolutely adorable <333 Although the viewing was slightly tainted because my dad saw the DVD case and starts making comments about it being about two guys. And he ends the ridiculous conversation with "You won't get a boyfriend watching that." ........................ Yeah, okay. 1) That doesn't even make sense. 2) I don't want a boyfriend right now. 3) I would never date someone who was homophobic. 4) THAT WAS AN ALL AROUND STUPID, RUDE, INSENSITIVE THING TO SAY. UGH. But anyway, it didn't disappoint. Very cute :D

✩ Don't have work until 2pm tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually make some progress tidying my room and getting holiday stuff sent out *headdesk*

Bumbles bounce!!

Day 07 - Christmas Special Trifecta (A Charlie Brown Christmas,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas)

I'm always sure to watch these three every year. I grew up watching them because they were my mom's favorites. I get really confused when I find other people who aren't as emphatic about these as I am XD

Charlie Brown in particular has such stellar lines. Lucy: Do you have pantophobia? | Charlie: What's pantophobia? | Lucy: They fear of everything! | Charlie: THAT'S IT!! LOVE. IT.

About to sit down with my mom and watch Rudolph, the only one I haven't seen yet this year :D

✩ Had a bad panic attack at the beginning of my shift at work today :( But at least there were some great people working with me who were being really nice and helped me get through it so I could do my shift. *sigh* It's just sad that there's this pattern where I get panic attacks on days that I'm looking forward to - like I need to sabotage my happiness or something :\

✩ On a happier note, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas (or your holiday festivity of choice ;)) Hope it's relaxing and full of all that makes you happiest :D

I think I'm the only person in internet land that even watches Grey's Anatomy anymore, but I absolutely loved this episode. Musicals make everything better ;) And Sara Ramirez is freaking awesome <33 Here she is singing "The Story" from the end of the episode where she's singing it for Arizona and their new baby.

Oh my GOSH I loved this episode. The chemistry between all of them is just amazing. And then I got Schmidt's OCD while cooking as an added bonus XD

ROTFL this episode is so magical. Just shatter that fourth wall XD

Watching this video from the episode makes me realize how much I miss Misha on SPN though ;______________; Seriously. Such a poor life decision, show.

✩ Had a panic attack at work for the first time in awhile today :( It's so draining and disheartening and makes me feel hopeless. *sigh* I hope it doesn't become a pattern again.

✩ Speaking of work, I just got my schedule for next week and I have a ton of long days including a five hour Christmas Eve shift x_x But at least I'll get off in time to have dinner and go to church with my family. After today my biggest concern is just managing the shifts without anxiety.

✩ Got my Christmas card from jaydblu today! Thank you so much!! <333 Definitely brightened my day :D I'm running behind on cards (and everything else) this year, but you will most definitely be receiving one from me as well :)

✩ About to head to bed. Have retail shifts in the afternoon and babysitting at night for the next two days. GAAAH, STOP THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF.

these are a few of my favorite things...

GAH I don't know when I'm going to get around to doing my own Christmas stuff.

[fic] A Chance Meeting (Claire + Castiel, gen, PG)

invisiblelove — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:44:44 GMT

Title: A Chance Meeting
Author: invisiblelove
Characters: Claire Novak, Castiel
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~1,600
Prompt/Summary: Claire + Castiel - talking about daddy? idk. JUST THESE TWO TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.
A/N: Written for mortar at spn_jimmynovak's Novakfest! So sorry to be getting this in right under the wire. Enjoy!

Claire groaned and dropped her forehead down onto her stack of papers and books splayed out across the desk. It was midterm week at her first semester of college, and she was questioning (not for the first time) her sanity in signing up for 18 credit hours.

After her father … left (what else was there to call it, really?), Claire had needed something to refocus. She had very nearly gone the route of several of her classmates and written off school and taken up underage drinking. But beer made her gag and she knew she didn’t want to be stuck in Pontiac for the rest of her life, so she chose instead to throw herself wholeheartedly into her studies, which led her to a fairly substantial scholarship that allowed her to enroll at the University of Chicago.

Which is why she is currently holed up in an out-of-the-way corner of the stacks in an attempt to force herself to study. There wasn’t any daylight where she was sitting, but according to her watch, it was already well past dinnertime and her stomach was starting to protest.

It was then that someone else in the stacks who was most certainly not a college student caught her eye. He turned slightly and Claire could have sworn her heart just about flew right out of her chest.

What was he doing here? Was he here looking for her? Why was he staring so intently at obscure books if he had come looking for her?

“Daddy?”

The man turned at the sound of her voice, but she knew immediately that it wasn’t her father looking back at her.

“Oh. Hello, Claire.” He paused for a moment; it almost seemed as if he was uncomfortable. “I’m sorry. Your father isn’t … here. It’s Castiel.”

Knowing what she was dealing with, it took everything Claire had to muster the gumption to stare the angel head on and not shy away. “Well, if you’re not my dad, why are you here?”

Castiel turned his gaze back toward the shelf he had been examining earlier. “Your university’s library is one of the most extensive in the area, and I am currently working on a case with the Winchesters … on top of dealing with an oncoming civil war amongst the heavenly host.”

“Oh.” How were you supposed to respond to that, exactly?

A moment of awkward silence passed between them before she summoned the strength to question the angel. She had to know.

“My dad … is he still, you know, there?”

“I can usually sense the presence of your father’s soul, but I haven’t felt anything from him in quite some time.”

She bit her lip and nodded, chastising herself for the hot sting she could feel building against her eyelids. She took a breath and managed to calm herself. She didn’t look up when she asked “Does that mean he’s…?”

Claire startled when she felt a hand against her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw that Castiel was examining her with an expression that seemed to convey sympathy from someone who wasn’t quite sure how to express it.

“No. I don’t believe so. Regardless, your father is already assured a place in heaven for his sacrifice, but I believe I would feel his absence more strongly if he was no longer here. It just feels more as if he is sleeping.”

Claire gave a slow nod of her head, Castiel’s words giving her only a very small measure of comfort. She knew that her father was a devout man and had prayed to be used as a tool to enact the will of heaven, but it still didn’t help abate the deep-seated sense of loss she felt over losing her father.

The silence stretched between the two, and Claire was quickly realizing that you couldn’t rely on an angel to fill awkward gaps in conversation.

“I’m sorry I’ve kept you this long,” Claire began. “Feel free to go.” She wasn’t exactly sure of the proper etiquette in ending a conversation with an angel – she remembered only the cold distance with which Castiel had regarded her after he had retaken her father as his vessel the last time they met.

She fully expected him to just disappear in a strange flutter of air, but he instead lingered as if there was something he still wanted to stay.

“Claire…” he began, and the only way Claire could think to describe the way Castiel was holding himself was uncomfortable.

He paused a few moments, enough to make the silence awkward once more, screwing his brows together as if he was trying to string a sentiment together just right and translate it into something that she could understand. “The more I live among mankind, the more I learn of the way you love and the attachments you form. I realize that a parent’s love is important. And … I know that you may feel that your father and his love for you is gone, but I just want you to know that it isn’t the case. Your father’s love for you, perhaps even more so than his faith, was the driving force in his life. And I can still feel it fueling this vessel. It keeps his body and his heart strong. Even now, I feel his bond to you and an answering affection of my own now that I have opened myself up to him.”

Claire gaped at Castiel. This was certainly more than the angel had ever said to her in all of their other abrupt exchanges combined.

When Claire didn’t respond, Castiel looked down and chuckled sadly. “I’m sorry. I have made you uncomfortable. Dean says I don’t know what I’m doing when I try to talk to other humans.”

Claire’s head snapped up and, without thinking, she reached out and placed her hand upon his coat covered arm. “Thank you. Truly. I – well, it just means the world to me to hear that.” She could feel her eyes beginning to fill, and she tried to clear her throat, not wanting to begin crying in the middle of the library. She was already thankful enough that she always studied in this remote corner of the stacks, sure that the image of a freshman having an in-depth conversation of socially-inept man in a flasher trench coat wouldn’t be the easiest tableau to explain to onlookers.

Claire began to shuffle her papers and books together so they could be dumped into her bookbag. She really was getting hungry, and she certainly wasn’t going to be getting any more studying done anytime soon after this encounter. Once her things were packed, Castiel walked with her towards the library’s exit. They paused again once they were back outside in the cold early evening air. She was just about to attempt to say goodbye when Castiel abruptly disappeared.

Claire had the presence of mind to frantically glance around to make sure no one was around to see this unexplainable display before she felt a surge of irritation that the angel couldn’t even say goodbye to her before fluttering off. She was about to start her trek over to the dining hall when Castiel reappeared in a whoosh of air holding a white carry-out bag.

Claire’s eyes widened. “Is that – ”

“I’ve eaten at the Thai restaurant by your home several times since I’ve taken your father as a vessel because I can sense the pleasure that the food and the memories brings him. I could sense your hunger and thought that perhaps you would enjoy some of this cuisine as well.”

Claire wordlessly took the bag from Castiel and peeked inside and was immediately hit with the mouthwatering scent of flavored noodles, chicken, and vegetables. “Cas – ” she began, and Castiel smiled at the nickname that she too seemed to have adopted. “This is perfect. Thank you so much.”

There was another silent pause that stretched between them, but before it could turn awkward, Claire reached out with the takeout back clutched in one of her fists and wrapped her arms around Castiel. Castiel seemed shocked into stillness for a moment, but then he too brought his arms up and around her small frame. As they pulled apart, he even brushed his hand along her hairline the way he had seen Jimmy do before he had taken him as a vessel.

“Take care, Claire. I will continue watching over you, just as I promised your father I would. And I know that your mother wouldn’t believe it, but truly, I understand the sacrifice that you two had to make in order for this arrangement to work as well.” He gave a sort of melancholy smile before he disappeared in the same strange movement of air as before.

Claire was a still a moment, clutching her bag of food and trying to wrap her head around the exchange she had just experienced. Finally, she shook her head and let out a disbelieving chuckle at the absurdity of her life circumstances. Then, she readjusted the straps of her bookbag and made her way over to one of the tables on the patio along the outside of the library. She pulled the still piping hot cardboard container of food out of the bag and opened the flaps and found, to her delight, she and her dad’s favorite dish – number 12 – from the very Thai restaurant they used to eat at for weekend lunches at least twice a month. With school and the friction with her mother, she hadn’t had a chance to go there in probably about a year.

She grabbed the plastic silverware at the bottom of the bag and twirled the first bite of noodles around her fork and her mouth started watering before she could even bring it to her lips. She blew on the steaming food and took a big bite and let out a pleased little sound.

It was just as good as she remembered.

✩ In real life news - got that supplementary essay for that political job turned in yesterday. We'll see if I hear anything else from them. And Banana Republic called and asked if I could work the days surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I said yes since we're going to be in town, so hopefully that'll work in my favor. I was hoping that would close the deal, but I guess he's asking all of the applicants before he makes a decision. So it's possible I will soon either have 1, 2, or STILL ZERO JOBS *doesn't like uncertainty*

And now, I think I'm gonna head out to an open house for the Counseling Department at one of the universities I'm considering for my masters. Gaaaaaaaaaaah all this stuff is making me anxious D:

have I been a sinner? a lover, a killer?

invisiblelove — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:12:12 GMT

✩ Here's another creation from the flist gift meme :D This is a little 5-song Dean/Cas EP for wandersfound <33 I tried my best with the cover - Dean's face was not being very cooperative in the cutting out process, lol. It's based on Matt Hires' "Out of the Dark," which I think is just the most perfect Dean/Cas song I've ever heard. I'd like to make a fanvid of it someday, but it kind of feels like too much of a daunting project to take on at the moment, and it would probably make my laptop explode. Anyway, tl;dr - hope you enjoy! <3

01) out of the dark | matt hires
in a strange strange place, lying on the edge of a star
in these violent days, i only wanna be where you are
even fools they say can find a way out of the dark, of the dark
help me out of the dark

02) let it rain | kris allen
so oh, let the rain keep fallin' down
cause it won't stop me from getting where i'm bound
maybe i'm crazy, maybe it's too late
but i'm gonna make it, don't care what the skies say

03) stay awake | josh kelley
cause you're the prettiest thing i've seen
when you're fallen asleep in my arms
...
so just stay awake for me
cause i can't fall asleep

04) never gonna leave this bed (acoustic) | maroon 5
so fall down
i need you to trust me
go easy, don't rush me
help me out, why don't you help me out?

05) without your skin | keaton simons
on the outside I seem fine,
but when you look into my eyes
baby you’re bound to see me shakin’
without your skin, without your skin
without your skin i’m naked

so you think you can dance season 7 | charlotte, nc | 10-02-10

invisiblelove — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 15:57:40 GMT

Umm, this is a picture of the stage without any zoom. I somehow managed to get third row seats - I don't even know. I think that's the closest I've ever been for an arena show :D

They lifted up the big screen and there everyone waaaas!

WAAAAAH KENT, ROBERT, AND LAUREN!! TOP THREE WIN :D :D :D

JAZZ HANDS.

Look at Kent being presh.

Allisonnnnnnn <333 She is just too gorgeous. (Also - season 2 represent!!)

Yaaaaaaay, baseball routine! I was really sad that Neil wasn't one of the all stars going on tour ;__; but Ade took his place for this routine, and I love him, so that was okay!

Umm, o hai Robert O_________O UNF.

Lauren and Billy!!! Oh my goodness, I love her so much.

Seriously, I'm fairly certain I got every routine I really loved this season. This was Robert and Kathryn's contemporary piece with a couple saying goodbye before one goes off to war.

And they were all progressive, and it was the woman leaving for duty instead of the guy. Well done, SYTYCD ;)

Yum. So pretty.

This is Courtney, from S4 I believe. Umm, can we talk about how she's Genevieve's long lost twin sister?? O_O SEPARATED AT BIRTH.

LOL I know this is kind of a crotch shot, but I thought it showed off how beautiful their lines are. Guh, I don't even know how they do this stuff.

Travis Wall's beauuuuuuuutiful ~~spurned gay lover~~ "betrayed friend" routine, lol. This one is gorgeous. Again, sad that Neil wasn't there to do it, but Robert took his place, which was excellent <3

Gah, I wish I could have gotten clearer pictures of this. It was so gorgeous.

They even dance with their faces. Such good storytellers.

J/K GUYS, WE REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER.

Awesome jazzy group number with a couch.

LOL, Robert.

JAZZ HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!11111111ONE

Blurry, but these mid-air shots are just so cool :D

Allison, seriously. I can't even. Incredible <3 Dancing here with Kent in the story of a couple that supposedly has a perfect relationship but is hiding a lot of secrets.

Billy and Robert Bollywood routune! SO GOOD.

Followed immediately by a group Bollywood routine!

Robert after the "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" Alice in Wonderland-esque group number.

THE CLOWN HIP HOP ROUTINE WITH DOMINIC AND ROBERT. LOVE. THIS. SO CREEPY AND JOKER-LIKE.

Umm yeah, that's her foot. Seriously, I think they're robots or aliens or something.

Look at how beautifully they move. It's amazing <3

KENT! And ~~Ruby~~Courtney!

Lauren took Comfort's place in the Tabitha/Napoleon "Fallin'" routine with Adechike. It's truly remarkable how well she adapts to every single style.

Didn't get any good shots of this actual dance, but this was another favorite from the season - the homeless man and the executive who share a past, danced by Billy and Ade. Their physical differences really complement this interesting dance, I think.

FIX YOOOOOOOOOOOU ;_________; Guys seriously, this song. Basically this song paired with anything is nearly guaranteed to make me all misty. Robert and Allison danced Travis Wall's painfully beautiful routine about supporting his mom. <3333333

She puts her feet on his and it ends with him helping her walk <33

Kent and Lauren prom routine :DDDDDDDDDD

omg they need to get married and make little dance babies <333

Then they went straight into "My First Kiss" that Kent originally did with Anya - another person I was sad wasn't going on tour (along with Pasha <3333333) - but Lauren of course did amazingly well with the part.

They all came out for the finale wearing Race for the Cure (the 5k I did that morning) shirts! The girls came out with pink pom poms and they talked about how it was breast cancer awareness month :)

HAHA I didn't even notice Jose was looking at my exact part of the audience when I took this picture :D

They kept with tradition of past tours and danced to "You Can't Stop the Beat" for the last routine. It was PERFECT - LOVE THE SONG, LOVE THE DANCERS, LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE <3333333333 My face was hurting from smiling so hard ;)

So yeah, it didn't disappoint. They are just amazingly, ridiculously talented <3

JUSTIIIIICE

invisiblelove — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 02:45:40 GMT

Umm, so my Entertainment Weekly came in the mail today. The rest of the family usually takes a look at it too. I hadn't had a chance to look at it yet, but my little brother was flipping through it and he goes "Did you see the thing about Moulin Rouge! in here?" So of course I was like !!!!!!!!!!!

And then I come over and read this loveliness...

No review I've ever written for EW have I wanted to do over as much as my review of 200l's Moulin Rouge! I enjoyed some aspects of the movie - like Ewan McGregor crooning "Your Song" - but I also found it shrill and overly stylized, a jarring jumble of tones and moods. And so I said that and awarded it a B-. About a year later, I saw it again and swooned - for two hours. I thought it was a rapturous modern-musical masterpiece. What changed? On that initial viewing I thought the opening half hour was so frenzied that, on some level, it froze me out of the movie. The second time, I saw that director Baz Luhrmann was orchestrating a fabulous yin and yang: the cold, dark, inhospitable world and the promise of love that could lift you out of it-but only at moments,like a dream interrupted. The movie was a pop-art tragedy that gazed at an ecstasy just out of reach. Had I connected with Moulin Rouge! that way the first time, it would have been my movie of the year (and a straight A), elbowing aside Memento. Instead, it's my biggest mistake. -Owen Gleiberman

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I literally squeed when I read this!! It's EW's 20th anniversary this year, and the movie reviewers are revisiting some of their initial judgments. I remember being pissed over that B- rating back in 2001 when it came out.

He TOTALLY captures the magic of my absolute favorite movie with this. I wish everyone who had a negative first impression after that initial frenzied 20 minutes could come back to it with this attitude and see it for the truly breathtaking, visionary piece of art that it is.

This makes me so happy. I seriously think I'm gonna write him a thank you note ;)

CONCERTS!!!!1 // Clay & Ruben | Paul McCartney | Kris Allen & Maroon 5

invisiblelove — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:44:55 GMT

WOOOO okay. I'm a fail and haven't uploaded my pictures from the last three fabulous concerts I've been to. The first two of which were during Krys' (hopelessfangirl) visit :DDD

SO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A CONCERT RECAP ~~EXTRAVAGANZA

So I don't make anyone's computer explode, I'll only post a few reduced versions of my favorites here. There are also links to photobucket albums with full-size pictures for each concert under the cuts. I only uploaded the good ones, so don't worry about having to click through 200+ pictures of weird blurriness to find anything recognizable ;)

So this concert was a beautiful thing. My straight wife Krys and I first met over at the magical Moulin Rouge message board, but it wasn't until S2 of American Idol that we really got to chatting. I was venting in the OT area over the absolute injustice of Clay Aiken not winning, and Krys came in the thread and started (gently) defending Ruben. LOL and the rest is history. So the fact that she and her mom were able to come from Newfoundland and go to the concert in NC with me and my mom was freaking epic on a multitude of levels.

Ruben came out first, and hopelessfangirl started flailing ;)

And then Clay came out and there was much good-natured ribbing and camaraderie and adorbs.

At one point Clay was sitting on Ruben's lap. LOL I don't even.

omg you guys seriously, I think I counted my tickets and this is like my 10th Claikens concert. And it took me this long to actually get to take some good pictures myself. It's just sad.

There was dancing involved. I have decided that Clay should dance always. And seriously, as you are probably coming to understand, the cheese level of this entire performance cannot be put into words ;)

"Pastor Ruben" had to cure Clay of his "Lack-of-rhythm-itis". LOL I kid you not. I couldn't make this shit up.

And then Ruben cured him and Clay danced some more. It was glorious.

Best shot of Ruben I got, I think :)

Unfortunately we were too far back from the stage to get good pictures (thank goodness for gigantic screens!), and I was a fail and forgot to charge the camera's battery after Asheville, so the camera was pretty much running on empty. Haha, OOPS. I managed to get a few fairly decent ones though. They'll probably be best at full resolution if you click through to the album (see link below).

Krys was at this show too, but our families had to sit separately because of ticket restrictions :(

That was one BIG ASS screen, lol.

The concert was absolutely brilliant. If he ever comes within reasonable distance of you, make sure you go see him. You won't regret it. It was seriously an otherworldly experience seeing a living legend like that. He played for nearly 3 hours and didn't even stop for water. The man's a machine. <333333

And yes, participating in the "Hey Jude" na-na's with an arena full of people was just as magnificent as I had hoped it would be.

Click here for entire album

When I found out that Maroon 5 was coming so close to my house I nearly imploded with joy. And then I realized Kris Allen was opening for them and my joy bits combusted into even tinier pieces of glee. Seriously, I don't even know how this wondrous coming together of musical joy came to pass. One of my favorite male artists with one of my favorite bands? Umm, yes please.

I had to go by myself b/c no one would go with me D: That sucked. But whatever. There was no freaking way I was gonna miss this epicness!

Oh Pocket Idol, please be more adorable, oh my goodness <333333333333

UNFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

AND THEN MAROON 5 CAME OUT :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Mmmm, boys and guitars <333

Umm yes. UNF.

I was pretty proud of myself that I managed to get a decent bow shot ;)

WHEW okay that took awhile to put together LOL.

OH yes, if any of you guys like to shop at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, etc, you can use THIS COUPON to get 30% off your purchase now through Sunday. I believe you can use the in-store barcode multiple times.

Anyway, it's called the "Give and Get" campaign, because you share these 30% off coupons, and then 5% of the purchases made goes to a charity of your choice. I selected the Boys and Girls Club because I believe really strongly in the power of positive mentoring :) Anyway, just thought I'd pass it along. Social awareness AND shopping, how can you go wrong??

luau offering for ozmissage - juliet POV fic

invisiblelove — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 04:08:18 GMT

Here is a belated Lost drabble for Queen ozmissage, who requested Lost Ladies (and Juliet in particular). I found her relationship with Jack in the sideways universe very interesting, so I decided to explore that back story a bit. Please forgive its lateness, and I hope you enjoy! :D

Juliet supposed it didn’t really make a great deal of sense to anyone else, her and Jack’s divorce. They had a wonderful son, they were both doctors at the same hospital, and for the most part, they got along famously. In fact, she still loved Jack, and she would wager a guess that he still loved her too, and always would.

They had met during medical school. He was straight-laced and driven, desperately trying to prove himself. Unfortunately, this came at the heavy cost of his social life, irritating nearly everyone with whom he came in contact. She took pity on him, taking it upon herself to make him crack a smile and maybe even laugh once in awhile whenever she had the chance.

From there had blossomed a tight-knit friendship that eventually led them to what they believed to be the next natural step – sleeping together. Their relationship continued to develop and it was an all-around fun time for them. They were both acing medical school and able to do so alongside a companion going through the same trials. A few weeks after their graduation, Jack popped the question, and they were married a few months later in a very simple, understated ceremony, much to the chagrin of both of their mothers.

Juliet became pregnant with David during their residencies, and of course everyone thought it was the greatest thing in the world to have a pregnant obstetrician. Her patients absolutely loved it.

Things continued relatively smoothly during the first years of David’s life. He brought Juliet and Jack more fulfillment than either of them could ever have imagined. They had a beautiful son, successful careers, and a lovely house. To anyone else, they basically had it all.

Which is why it came as such a shock to everyone who knew them when they announced that they were separating. There had just been something that neither of them seemed able to place a finger upon that made their family feel more like two best friends playing house than a legitimate marriage.

Everyone told them they were crazy, that looking for more than they already had – a partnership with someone whose company they actually enjoyed – was just foolish; selfish, even.

But she didn’t expect them to understand. She and Jack had come to the easy agreement that there’s simply wasn’t a romantic relationship, at least not anymore. Juliet was the first to admit, and Jack soon after, that both of them had a lingering feeling that their respective soul mates were still out there somewhere waiting.

It had been perhaps the most drama-free divorce of all time. They hadn’t even bothered with lawyers. Both of them were on a doctor’s salary by that point, and they agreed that there was really no need for a bunch of messy legal jargon when they could easily settle everything on their own.

David was three at the time, and they made a pact then that they would both do everything in their power to stay in the area until he graduated from high school, at the very least. With both of them coming from troubled childhoods, she and Jack didn’t want any part of their (admittedly unconventional) relationship decision to cause their son stress. So after they sold their home, they each downsized and picked new places within twenty minutes of the other.

Clearly, they had joint custody of David. And while Juliet hated that her son’s relationship with his father had been a bit strained in the past years, she figured it was likely part of each of them dealing with the fact that David was a young man now more than anything else. Things seemed to be on the ups between the two of them since his last visit to Jack’s anyway.

It was now fourteen years later, and while both she and Jack had casually dated, neither of them had found the life-changing romance for which they had dissolved their marriage. On her bad days, she sometimes wondered if perhaps they had made a horrible mistake. That finding another person that completes and complements you entirely simply isn’t something that happens for everyone.

But the truth of the matter was, both she and Jack were incurable romantics. And she knew, with a little patience, the right one would come along for each of them.

Cracky "greatest hits" Jack/Sawyer schmoop for hitlikehammers

invisiblelove — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:03:00 GMT

ROTFL this is absolutely ridiculous. Prepare yourself. hitlikehammers, please forgive me for its lateness. I hope you still enjoy this silly drabble :D

Even pushing the back door open felt like a burden for Jack as he trudged through the doorway. It had, quite simply, been “one of those days.” Victims from a massive, multiple-car pileup had kept him wired and on his feet for more than ten hours and he was absolutely exhausted. He also hadn’t eaten anything but the energy bar he had managed to grab from his office in his five minute excuse for a lunch break. He had then had the joy of battling LA traffic for 45 minutes. So when he was greeted with the smell of homemade spaghetti sauce, he nearly groaned in gratitude that he would soon have a hot meal.

He rounded the corner to the kitchen to express his thanks to the chef, but he wasn’t able to get a word out because said chef was currently flailing around the kitchen and singing along to the radio. Wait – was that Lady GaGa?

“Don’t wanna kiss, don’t wanna touch; just smoke my cigarette and hush. Don’t call my name…”

Okay, yeah, that was definitely Lady GaGa. Sawyer had gotten into a (rather unfortunate, in Jack’s opinion) habit of putting Top 40 radio on while cooking dinner. This made for some fairly interesting scenes upon Jack’s arrival home from work – his favorite being Sawyer dancing around the kitchen in his boxers to “Single Ladies.” He hadn’t let that one go for a good two weeks, and he had a feeling he’d be ribbing Sawyer for this for even longer as he pretended to pout over his teasing.

Jack kind of loves that Sawyer never ceases to surprise him. He totally had him pegged as a strictly Mellencamp or Springsteen kind of guy. Never in a million years would he have guessed Sawyer’s secret weak spot for infectious pop tunes.

After what feels like the hundredth refrain of “Ale-ale-jandro, Ale-ale-jandroooo,” Jack decided to make his move. He slipped right up behind Sawyer and grabbed his hips and pulled them flush with his own. Sawyer tensed and nearly flung his stirring spoon across the room as Jack grinned and said “Dinner and a show?” against Sawyer’s ear.

“Christ, Doc. You oughta be glad I didn’t send this pot of sauce flying. Scaring a man like that when he’s fixing you dinner, honestly. I should just make you watch me eat this and make you eat cereal.”

Jack hooked his chin over Sawyer’s shoulder and peered into the pot of sauce. The smell rising up from the steam was incredible. “Aw, don’t be like that. I just didn’t want to disrupt your performance.” He brushed his nose behind Sawyer’s ear.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just go get washed up. Dinner will be ready in a minute and you still have hospital smell all over you.”

Jack smiled and pressed his lips to Sawyer’s temple before heading to the bathroom. He had only removed his tie when he heard the first strains of the next song and Sawyer’s accompanying cackling. Jack rolled his eyes as Sawyer sang along loudly, taking some creative license with the lyrics – “CAL-I-FORN-IA BOYS, THEY’RE UNDENIABLE. FINE, FRESH, FIERCE, THEY’VE GOT IT ON LOCK. WEST COAST REPRESENT, NOW PUT YOUR HANDS UP. OOOOOOH! OH! OHHHHHHH!”

luau offering for toestastegood - esau fic

invisiblelove — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:51:59 GMT

Holy crap, I am SO sorry this is so late *hides head in shame* I hope you still enjoy it! :D

His alarm goes off and he stretches deeply. The curtains of his open window flutter with the breeze rolling in from the ocean. He sits up and peers outside; the sun is shining. It should be a beautiful day. Good for business. Tourists are always eager to get out on the water on days like today.

Esau offers guided dolphin and wildlife watching boat tours near his home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He lives alone aside from his dog Stella, a brown and white mutt he met and fell in love with at a local adoption fair a couple of years ago. The two of them live modestly in his single-story wood paneled house less than a mile from the ocean. He loves the faint sound of waves that he can hear from his home, but sometimes the vast openness of the sea stirs something inside him that makes him a little restless, and he and Stella pack a few things and head inland for a few days in his old blue jeep.

After feeding himself and Stella, the two set off on the brief walk to the pier. Stella always accompanies him on his tours and has pretty impressive sea legs for a canine.

Esau mostly keeps to himself. He’s lived in the town for the past ten years, so he’s developed a few close friends. However, he’s fairly quiet and likes to spend most of his spare time wrapped up in a good book or out in the jeep letting the rhythm of the road beneath him lull him into a deep relaxation. Because he isn’t all that well-known around town aside from his wildlife tours, some of the locals have come to start calling him the Man in Black – as he’s always seen wearing a black visor and tee shirt with the logo of his touring company on them. Also, Esau isn’t exactly the most common name and a lot of people have a hard time getting a handle on it.

He was right when he woke up – today is going to be a good day for business. He walks into the small office he keeps by the pier and says hello to the young receptionist who handles reservations for him (he never was very good with organization). Her name is Tess and she usually comes in about 45 minutes before him to be sure everything is ready for the day.

“Looks like you’ve got a rather eccentric science teacher who decided to bring his students on an impromptu field trip today,” she tells him with a smile.

Esau groans. Field trips are very tricky things. He doesn’t have a problem with kids, per se. He just has a problem with little monsters who lean too far over the edge of the boat and fall in and then tell their mothers who then call angrily and blame him for nearly drowning their precious children.

Luckily, Tess tells him that this is a group from one of the local colleges, so hopefully there won’t be any demon spawn to deal with. He just hopes none of these college kids turn up hungover and puke all over his boat.

He thanks Tess and whistles for Stella, and he heads toward his boat to ready it for the first tour of the day.

***

About an hour later, Esau and Stella stand at the juncture of the pier and his boat and welcome the students. He’s made it a habit to shake the hand of each passenger before the start of each tour. It establishes a good rapport that makes for a good ride for everyone. This bunch seems like a good group of kids; this should actually shape up to be one of his more enjoyable tours.

Bringing up the rear is a man noticeably older than the others, presumably the teacher. He watches as his students safely board the boat and extends his hand. “Thanks for taking this motley crew here. I’m the professor. The name’s Jacob.”

Esau smiles but the moment their hands touch, he gasps like he’s been electrocuted. Flashes of alarmingly vivid visions assault his consciousness. Stella whimpers at his heels at the way he tenses beside her.

…a curious game with black and white rocks…

…running through a vibrantly green jungle with a young blond boy…

…misunderstandings that turn to vicious arguments…

…flowing water and a too bright light…

The visions stop the moment their hands separate, and Esau tries to control his rapidly fluttering heartbeat as the other man – Jacob – stares back at him with a shocked expression that almost certainly mirrors his own.

Sounds of the students getting restless behind them, wondering about the hold up, shock the two men from their daze. Esau ushers the other man onto the boat to join his students and reaches for his intercom mike to begin his standard safety spiel before they get under way. It’s a good thing that he could give the talk in his sleep because the visions from moments ago are playing on a relentless loop in his head. When he can manage, he spares glances at this mysterious Jacob guy who seems to have had such a startling effect on him. At least he seems to be similarly shaken by their brief encounter, which makes Esau feel slightly less crazy.

The tour passes like countless others. The college students turn into little kids again when a couple of dolphins get curious and start investigating the side of their boat. He manages to recite some facts about lung capacity and sonar, but his heart simply isn’t in it like it usually is. His eyes keep straying to Jacob – and he can tell that the other man keeps sneaking glances at him, too.

For Esau, they can’t arrive back at the pier quickly enough. He doesn’t know what it is about this man that has left him feeling sucker-punched, but it’s disorienting and he kind of just wants to go home and lie down. The students are gracious as they gingerly step from the boat back onto the steady surface of the pier, and Esau tenses when the last student walks past him and he and Jacob are left standing face to face once more.

Esau hasn’t the faintest idea what to say. They both clearly experienced something extraordinary, but it’s not exactly the kind of thing you can address with a perfect stranger, no matter what the connection you feel with him – is it?

Jacob apparently makes the decision for him.

“Do you want to go get a sandwich or a cup of coffee or something? Something tells me we might manage to find something to talk about,” he says, his voice even and almost ethereal.

Esau tilts his head at the direct invitation but knows there’s only one possible response. “Sure,” he says. “Let me just tie the boat up. I know a great place. The owners won’t mind if Stella tags along.”

Jacob smiles and kneels, offering his hand to the dog. She gives a wary sniff but quickly warms up to him when he scratches behind her floppy ears.

Jacob announces that he’ll wait for him out on one of the benches on the main street. Despite the jarring initial exchange, Esau can feel something warm and right blooming in his chest as he readies his small boat for the four o’clock tour.

Once finished, he pats his leg and Stella comes trotting alongside him, and they both walk toward this mysterious Jacob. Despite his usual wariness around new people, he feels a strange lack of trepidation about this impromptu outing. For some reason he feels like he wants to open up to this man, like they have a lot of ground to cover.

In fact, the more he thinks about it, the more he comes to realize that lunch probably won’t end up being enough time to do the trick.

luau offering for bittersweet325 "richard in the modern world"

invisiblelove — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:57:51 GMT

I am a total fail and just now getting to my first luau offering *facepalm* Is that catch up day here yet?? ;)

This is for Queen bittersweet325, who requested "Richard in the Modern World". I hope it pleases her majesty!!

Richard maintains a white-knuckled grip on the arm rest and grits his teeth as Frank begins their descent toward the first piece of flat land he can find off the western coast of the United States. He believes he is perhaps more nervous for their arrival than he was during their shaky departure from the island. At least the island was familiar. This world that he’s about to enter is entirely new. And he is entirely alone.

Sure, he’s lived in this world before. But everything was already decided for him. He was given agendas and clothing and expense accounts by forces greater than himself. He didn’t have to ask questions. He barely even had to think. But now he is just another one of the millions of modern, aging humans who used to exist as such a marvel to him.

Now that the reality of what will happen when they get off of this plane is starting to sink in, Richard can feel his heartbeat pounding in his ears. He quite obviously has no living family or friends. He has a moderate set of skills (a few centuries’ experience will usually warrant as such) but no real references to back them up. To be honest, he has absolutely no idea what’s to happen to him when he gets of this plane.

He feels as if he’s well on his way to hyperventilating when a voice filters through the muddled haze in his head. “Hey man, watch out. You’re going to break a finger or something.”

Richard smiles nervously at Miles and loosens his grip on the armrest as they continue their descent. Miles – the only one of this motley crew who trusted him enough (although god knows why) to follow him into the jungle to torch the very plane that was actually delivering them to their new lives. Whether you want to chalk it up to free will or fate or karma or whatever – life can be a funny thing sometimes.

“I imagine you don’t know where you’re headed when we touch down, do you?” Miles asks.

Richard figures there isn’t much use in lying at this point. Pride seems a little foolish after all they’ve been through. “Not really.”

“Well, I don’t know what kind of perks one receives as an Other, and I can’t promise you anything too fancy, but I was planning on staying at the nicest hotel I can find while I look for a new apartment since I sure as hell got evicted from the last shithole I was living in while we were busy flying through time on that damn island. Anyway, what I’m saying is, I figure you don’t have a hell of a lot of options about where to stay, so you could, you know, stay with me. For awhile. If you wanted.”

Richard flinches when they touch down with a jolt. But when he opens his eyes, Miles is still there, the offer still standing.

Maybe this new life isn’t going to be so impossible after all.

STEP INSIDE FOR MOAR

OF THIS FIERCE HBIC

So I had to go to the concert by myself :\ My mom likes Adam (or did, before AMA-gate *rolls eyes*), but she didn't want to do standing room only, which I guess I sort of can't blame her for. Oh well. I still had an awesome time! I was able to buy a fast pass for $5 more when I bought my ticket so I got to go ahead of the people who had apparently been lining up since 9am ~~lololololololol~~. But yeah, THIS WAS MY FIRST CONCERT UP AGAINST THE BARRIER THINGY :DDDDDDD

I don't know if Adam's had to deal with this at any of the other venues on his tour, but unfortunately the religious crazies heard he was in town and were picketing D:

This bullshit makes me SO. ANGRY. These batshit religious fundamentalists sit so high and mighty on their moral pedestals, thinking they're so Christ-like and that heaven is going to be some sort of exclusive engagement for them and their equally narrow-minded, ignorant friends and family that think exactly as they do. Wasting your time doing absolutely worthless crap like that in the name of your God is about as offensive and blasphemous as you can get, in my opinion. There are people and animals all over our community who need shelter and clothing and assistance. And yet you choose to spend your time, supposedly honoring your God, doing THIS?? UGH. It makes me SO. MAD. [/rant]

...I have to admit I did LOL at the back of the yellow sign though. ZOMG HOMO SEX!!!!!!111 XD

Anyway, aside from that unpleasantness, the night was excellent aside from the random obnoxious fans and the few people who had to be dragged out of the venue on their drunk asses. I was like, LOLZ, HE WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL GUYS, WTF??

Allison Iraheta (she came out afterward, see below!) and Orianthi each sang 20 minute sets, and I got a few pictures ... but they aren't very exciting. FINALLY, AT 10PM HIS ROYAL FIERCENESS MADE HIS ENTRANCE...

LOOK AT HOW CLOSE HE IS IUADHUANSIUAHEJNSUAYWQ*YW*^QJS

UNF. That's Tommy, the one from AMA-gate ;) I got my picture with him after the show!

LOL as you can see, the lighting was over-the-top. As one would only expect with Adam ;)

:DDDDDD I LOVE THIS ONE.

I think this was when he sang "Soaked," which really showcases his voice. His show reflected the album - you have your over-the-top glam-fests like "For Your Entertainment" but then you also have really beautiful, slower songs that prove what an incredible vocalist he is <3

LOLLLLL LOOK AT THIS FIERCE BITCH OMG <33333333333

UNF.

GAAAAAAAH THIS PICTURE.

UNF AGAIN.

AGAIN - FIERCE. BITCH.

ROTFL omg the gay. I love him so much.

I have this one as my desktop :D

Love the lighting on this one.

O HAI ICU THAR ALLISON!

GUUUUUUUUUUH the show was so good. I took like 200+ pictures, but I tried to narrow it down to some of the best ;) I can upload more if people are interested :)

I went outside to the buses after the show, but apparently Adam doesn't come out very often. I wonder if he's worried about getting sick with all of those people breathing on him. Or maybe he just doesn't want to deal with the crazy ;)

Allison came out though!

And then so did Tommy!!

...SO THERE IS ONE DEGREE OF SEPARATION OF ADAM MAKING OUT WITH ME :D lol

It was hilarious. Tommy was so sweet to all of the fans and had this cute little smile but then for all the pictures he did his ~fierce face ;)

Anyway, the show was lots and lots of fun! I would definitely recommend the tour if it's coming near you :D

david cook at the fillmore (charlotte, nc) | declaration tour finale 12/01/09

invisiblelove — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 04:24:40 GMT

// click for full size //

The show was absolutely AMAZING. The following night was actually supposed to be the tour's finale, but the venue had to cancel for some reason, so WE got the finale. It was INCREDIBLE!! This was the set list:

[Opening act #1: Green River Ordinance]
[Opening act #2: The Script]
Heroes
Mr. Sensitive
I Did It For You
Kiss on the Neck
Lie
Everyday is Exactly the Same
Avalanche
'Til I'm Blue [w/Andy Skib on lead vocals]
Bar-ba-sol
Light On
Declaration
Straight Ahead
Make Believe
Come Back To Me

I went out after the show and got a spot to wait along the fence; I was pretty optimistic he would come out since it was the last night of the tour - and he did!! I got his album signed and A HUG \o/ He didn't do pictures, which I can understand. It would have taken FOREVER to get through everyone. Of course, there were still people in line trying to argue their way into pictures, even as he's taking the time to give everyone hugs and autographs *facepalm* I was able to snag some pictures as he was going down the line though...

EPIC.

Jack/Sawyer Ficlet for Queen inthekeyofd

invisiblelove — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:09:02 GMT

Title: Poker Face
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer
Word Count: 419
Rating: PG-13
A/N: This is for Queen inthekeyofd (so sorry it's late!), who requested happy!Jack/Sawyer. And I figured you can't get much happier and OMGTHISSHIPISCANON than mango poker. So here's a little ficlet that takes place after the game. Hope you enjoy it! ♥ Buah ha, and sorry for the name. I couldn't help myself :p
Summary: “So you think you can just come and take my mangoes any time you feel like it?”

“‘When you need the guns, you'll get the guns,’ huh?”

Jack looked up from the medicine cart he was cataloguing by firelight and grinned. “Had to keep up appearances. I was pretty impressed with my dramatic exit there.”

Sawyer shook his head before looking up and flashing his dimples. “Well look at this. The good doc’s taking some pointers from the con man.”

Jack would never admit to it, but he could feel his cheeks flush under Sawyer’s attention. He returned his gaze to the cart and busied himself with cataloguing their supplies.

With Jack’s attention diverted, Sawyer slid in behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist. “You never came around to collect your winnings,” he breathed against Jack’s ear.

“I know you’ll give me what I want when I need it, Sawyer.”

The moment the words left Jack’s mouth he couldn’t help but bring a hand to his face and laugh at the inherent innuendo of his words.

“Really?” said Sawyer. “So you think you can just come and take my mangoes any time you feel like it?”

Jack grunted as Sawyer gave a small thrust of his hips behind him. Realizing he had already dug himself too deep to get out of their cheesy banter, he wound his fingers with Sawyer’s at his waist and continued, “Hey, it’s not like I took any mangoes that weren’t freely offered.”

Sawyer laughed and pressed a kiss to the side of Jack’s neck. “Such a dork,” he whispered. They stood together in companionable silence for a few moments as Jack rubbed his thumbs against Sawyer’s fingers at his hipbones.

Jack turned around in Sawyer’s arms and pressed their lips together. “Maybe I’m a dork,” he whispered. “But I’m not the one who got his ass handed to him in poker.”

“I am definitely going to get angry and indignant over that comment later.”

Jack murmured his agreement as Sawyer went to work on the button of Jack’s jeans, popping it open and lowering the zipper to reveal the white boxers underneath. “God damn I love you in these. I’m gonna hide all your pants.”

Jack made a high-pitched noise that he would later deny and scrambled for his pants. “Jesus Christ, Sawyer! Anyone could just walk by and see us! Can’t you wait ten feet until we get to the tent?”

“Nope. Besides, let them look. They can think we’re having angry hate sex.”

Jack pinched Sawyer’s side and shooed him forward, “Just get in the tent, Sawyer.”
