Fandoms: Firefly, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [vaguely], X-Files, Buffy, Highlander
Reason: Challenge
Form: Snippets of various sizes
#1 [Beluga whale, challenge, 90 words]
"What. The hell. Was that." Mal is not amused; the whole ship rocked like somethin' heavy flopped on it, just a moment ago, and they're in deep space. Ain't nothin' supposed to be out here. And he can still feel aftershocks.
He runs to the bridge, finds everyone already there. The window's blocked by something large. Really large. It has an eye that blinks at them.
"Seems to be a whale, sir."
Wash points. "And that thing squashed between it and us? Looks like a vase of petunias to me."
#2 ["Human sized bugs" as specified in the challenge, 274 words]
"Are you wearing a wire?" Mulder pats Krycek up and down, checking everything. He finds nothing, but he's not satisfied. "Take your clothes off."
Krycek arches an eyebrow, but he's in no condition to resist, not with a gun pointed at him by a paranoid ex-FBI agent. And if you can't resist, the only other option is to serve... is it not? He shrugs the leather jacket off his shoulders and starts to lift his t-shirt.
"Wait. Let me do this." Mulder removes the garment the rest of the way, and then his hands reach Krycek's jeans. Krycek says not a word. Mulder pulls the denim down his legs, helps him out of his shoes and socks as well. The double-triple-octuple agent is in his dark green briefs.
"Satisfied?"
"Not nearly," Mulder sneers and looks further. He finds no wiring, only a half-erect cock and a round, luscious butt just waiting to be grabbed and kneaded. Mulder whimpers.
"See anything you like?" Krycek purrs.
... They're wrapped up in each other's embrace, naked and sweaty, legs entwined, and Mulder feels more secure than he has in his life. Not a bug found in the strip search and the cavity search, and Krycek's captivating ass proved itself to be just as delectable and enticing up close as it was when he's been watching it all these years.
"You know they now have tapes of this, don't you," Krycek whispers in his ear.
"What? How?" Mulder sits up. "I looked all over... There are no bugs here."
"Oh, but there is. Just one." Krycek gets out of bed and starts putting his clothes back on. "Me."
#3 [Baby ducks, from the challenge, 120 words]
"They're baby ducks."
"I know," Wash says, smiling apologetically at his wife.
"I thought you said you juggle baby geese?"
"This is the best I could find! Now let me concentrate, okay? This isn't as easy as it looks."
Zoe is about to point out that it doesn't look easy as much as certifiable, when Jayne and Kaylee walk in.
"What the - " Lots of words in Chinese, ranging from dirty (Kaylee) to incredibly dirty (Jayne) as the two rescue the ducklings from Wash. Kaylee glares.
"How could you do that? Poor things!" She pets the little bundles of yellow fluff, cooing at them soothingly.
"Yeah," Jayne says, holding one baby duck in each palm, "you could've damaged dinner!"
#4 [Dinosaurs from challenge, specifically pterodactyls from Cat, 140 words ]
Dawn burst into the store, eyes sparkling.
"Oh my god. You will never believe what happened at school today."
"Everybody started singing and dancing?" Buffy asked, discouraging.
Dawn pouted. "I gave birth to a pterodactyl," She said. She pulled the small reptile from her bag and presented it to the group. They all stared.
"Didn't even know I was pregnant," she continued, sitting down comfortably and unbuttoning her blouse. Xander stared, until Giles' repeated loud coughs made him turn away. "But this little bad boy just popped out - I thought I was just having indigestion." She let the winged lizard suckle on her breast, and petted its crest. "I'm thinking of calling it Spike - what do you think?"
Buffy woke up in a cold sweat and grabbed her cross, praying that this one was not a prophecy dream.
#5 [Snakes, as requested by Mary, 131 words]
They cut through the empty field behind Duncan's new house, heading to the grocery store by this shortcut, when Methos sees it. He grabs Duncan's arm and pulls him back so suddenly and so forcibly, the Scot near loses his balance.
"Be careful!" Methos points at the reptile hissing at them in the tall grass. "You'll have to do something about this place, you can't live like that," he tells Duncan, backing away quickly.
Duncan furrows his brow. "It's just a snake."
Methos thinks back to long gone days, to a woman he was rather fond of reclining under a tree, smiling innocently at him. Those days should've lasted forever, but they were over so soon. He winces.
"I just don't like snakes, alright," he rants grumpily and walks quickly away.
#6 [Coyote for Cat, 121 words]
Coyote, trickster god, an entity who shows to man time and again that he can so easily be fooled. That he is only put on this earth to enjoy it, and not to take himself so seriously. Ethan thanks the Coyote, who appeared before him in the smoke of the fire and incense. Promises not so much to serve as much as to spread the word, carry the creed. Make a point whenever he can. The wise glistening eyes smile at him, and the old face, a man's face, grows pointy ears and a furry snout. Ethan chuckles and says a prayer in praise of Coyote.
"Ethan," Ripper slurs, cigarette nearly burning his fingers, "why are you talking to the dog?"
