41 with Alexia

41 //looking at their lips as they talk//

The sun shon bright in the Barcelona sky as you stood pitch side ready to report on the infamous El Classico. It was a match that you loved to play in but you picked up a serious ankle injury a couple of months ago and you weren’t quite fit to play or even to train yet.

5-0 was the end result yet throughout the halftime and post match media you tried your best to remain fair even though everybody knew you bled Blaugrana.

Like always the team did a lap of the pitch. You knew they were getting close as the fans behind the camera erupted, all of them wanting a shirt signed or a photo with their favourite player. So whilst you did expect to see one or maybe two of your team mates what you didn’t expect was to feel a hand of the small of your back and the sight of Alexia standing next to you. Here she was, the woman who hated doing media with every fibre of her being, voluntarily giving an interview.

“Ladies and Gentleman, La Reina herself”

The use of the nickname she loved to hate earned you a playful shove.

One of the official presenters made the most of having both you and Alexia in an interview given that you hadn’t done for in months. Much to you surprise Alexia was in a chatty mood and you spent most of the interview taking in her beauty. It wasn’t a huge secret that you and her were dating but you never got round to doing a hard launch so to say.

You notice some of Alexia’s hair fall in front of her face so as if by instinct you place it gently behind her ear. This earns you a look off Alexia as if saying are you going to do what happens next when you do this at home. It’s safe to say the thought did cross your mind but you knew now wasn’t the time or place. It didn’t stop you from glancing down at her lips as she spoke about how proud she is of the team. Her passion is one of the things you loved most about her and you know the look in your eyes will show this but you didn’t mind.

Alexia’s hand squeezes your hip, an act which she knows will earn a reaction given you’re ticklish.

“Que?”

“La pregunta?”

You turn your attention to the presenter and it’s clear she asked you question.

“Lo siento” your cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

“Don’t apologise. Alexia gave us everything we need about the game and I’m sure you gave us enough material to make the fans happy”

You both thank the presenter and Alexia waits whilst you give back your mic pack. The two of you are some of the last players on the pitch and walk into the tunnel together. Even though you weren’t playing you did plan on joining in on the locker room celebration but just before you reach the door Alexia grabs your wrist and pulls you back to her.

“What?”

“I thought maybe you wanted to look at my lips some more seen as though you refused to look at anything else out there”

“Why you got to call me out like that?”

“I’m not. I’m simply giving you a chance to do something other than stare”

Alexia’s lips was on yours before you had to chance to reply. She has you pinned against the wall with no care in the world who could see you. Alexia rested one hand against the wall beside your head and her other grabbed your hip. Yours travelled up her back beneath her loosely fitted leather jacket.

For a brief moment you forget where you were and when you felt Alexia’s tongue brush against you lips you allowed her entry.

“Well well well, look what we have here. Our dear captains the celebration are in the locker room but I can see that you are having a very good time out here in the hallway” Mapi says rather smugly.

“Leave them alone Maria” Ingrid pushes her towards the locker room “Not that I want to interrupt but the rest of the team is on there way so you might want to go somewhere else if you want to continue”

All three of you begin laughing at the situation and whilst you wanted nothing more than to pick you where you were before getting interrupted, you knew that it was best to be done at home away from prying eyes and teasing team mates.

Lieutenant Sayako-34 Madison - Tied for the title of youngest member of the USS Sorcerer's senior staff at only 27 years old, and serving as Chief Flight Controller, Sayako-34 began their Starfleet career as a shuttle pilot on Earth Spacedock.

Graduating Starfleet Academy in 2407, Sayako-34 spent 2 years shuttling VIPs to and from San Francisco. Quickly growing bored with this routine, the young Hermat requested that they be re-assigned to a long range Starfleet vessel. Their request would be granted on July 7, 2409, the day before the Iconian War would begin, joining the crew of the Defiant-class USS Belfast (captained by Captain Va'Kel Shon, later famous for captaining the USS Enterprise-F during the Iconian War). The Belfast would be destroyed in one of the first battles of the war. Sayako-34 would survive the Belfasts' destruction, though injured. Once they recovered, they were re-assigned to the USS Sorcerer in 2410, fighting alongside the crew during the rest of the conflict, meeting their eventual fiancee Lieutenant Elsie Madison, now the Sorcerer's Chief Operations Officer, in the process. Again surviving the crippling of their starship during the Battle of Midnight, this time uninjured, Sayako-34 and Elsie would be re-assigned to the ship when it was recommissioned in 2416.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: A fire broke out at Royal Lodge around 5pm last night. What we know is that the vacant townhome caught fire and substantial damage was done to two of the three floors. The lodge consists of three townhomes. The Earl and Countess of Boykins and Princess Anna of Kent reside in two of them.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Oh no!

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Buckingsim Palace released a statement this morning confirming the fire, thanking the Easton Fire Department, and stating that no-one was harmed in the fire. Hallie is live at Easton Fire Station #2230 with the Captain whose team only moments ago returned from putting out the blaze.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Hi, Cameron and Shon, yes I’m here with #2230 Captain, Jermaine Askew, who led a team of firefighters at the Royal Lodge fire. Captain, what can you tell us?

Jermaine Askew [Captain]: Yeah, we received a call just after 5pm about a fire at the royal property. Our crews arrived to the scene about 6 minutes later. A fire broke out in one of the upstairs rooms of the vacant townhome. We were able to put the fire out but substantial damage was done to two floors.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Are you able to speculate as to what may have caused the fire?

Jermaine Askew [Captain]: Not at this time.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Thank you, Captain. Cameron and Shon, back to you in the studio.

Babylon 5, first watch on the rewatch, "Believers"

Edit: ohh, now I'm way too early with this, aren't I? We continue in April! Ah well, the post is up. :P I was watching this directly after work and it was like that old joke: "oh man, it's like you never left work". One of the first Franklin-focused episodes, and it was a premise that's a very familiar one. When people are willing to die for their beliefs, and you think they're wrong, what do you do? The outcome was obvious to me as soon as the set up was done; you do the surgery, the parents will kill the child. Because you do not have the time or clout to upend their entire worldview, and they will become murderers if they think the alternative is a fate worse than death. There's no other outcome; few other things force untrained people to kill, but this is one of them. "Sure is for those with nothing on the line", indeed. When you are in a crisis it is too fucking late to change someone's worldview; it either saves them or it doesn't. And in this case, it didn't. However, frankly, I think the authors pulled their punches. After the "oh, our veterinarians cut animals open all the time, but you can't do that with people", I was seriously expecting something along the lines of "people who are cut open become animals". If you wanted to be kinder, then the check-in before the surgery would simply have failed and they didn't find the mechanisms - and then you really do get a shell of a person. I otherwise loved that the check was there - "is there anything that justifies these beliefs?". Without it, Franklin came off as pretty damned overconfident even for a xenobiologist - how are you this bloody sure that you won't harm the kid?

However, I honestly thought they were setting up for a much more horrifying version - that you cut someone open, and they become food animals. Yeah, while retaining sentience and all. Just cultural things: you lose body integrity, then everyone else eats you.

Franklin's biggest mistake, really, was in not considering this scenario. If he wanted to start this fight, he ought to have been ready to either ditch the station and adopt the kid, or find him a place to live, or... Find out everything he can about the breaking of skin and is there anything they can do to stop the soul from escaping.

The thing is, as far as fictional taboos go, this is one that's nearly impossible to keep over a long-lived body's lifetime! Bodies get damaged! This means that our aliens' culture most likely has ways of getting around this sort of thing - measures that can be taken to stop the soul from escaping. Instead, Franklin attempted to force things on his terms - and lost. Just as the parents lost when trying to force things with the ambassadors.

Speaking of whom - I loved those scenes. But also, Franklin? Even if the ambassadors won't interfere for our aliens, it is damned well worth a try getting, say, Delenn (and her knowledge of souls) to put on a show.

I do like the lesson here. You cannot fight an entire planet, nor an entire history, alone and win. You might become a stepping stone in someone else's victory - perhaps in 100 years someone will remember the precedent and use it - but you can't win.

Random notes: planet Placebo is wonderful! And I loved the kid comforting the doctor in his own way, by knowing what the "egg" was, very realistic. I liked Shon in general (although the name gave me Star Trek Online vibes; here's headcanon to a reincarnation to Va'Kel Shon, Andorian captain of the Enterprise!) - brave, lively, and smart enough to understand the adults and make his own choices.

I liked how Sinclair handled the whole catastrophe; and I liked that he had no patience for Franklin's games, but sympathy for his predicament.

And, of course, I liked Ivanova being restless and doing her job. Good on her, with the pilots!

This is my unofficial entry into Februwhump or whatever its called. I won't be tagging it as such though so just enjoy a buncha short little stories this month

This one is Touchstarved featuring Christopher and Shon. See it however you want I suppose.

- - - - -

An away mission gone bad.

An entire security team killed trying to protect their captain, and it almost didn't even work.

He's stuck in his quarters, yes stuck, because the doctor demanded he rest there. He doesn't want to rest. He want to train, to be better so that won't happen next time. He wants to...

Christopher's pacing, and thoughts, are interrupted when the door to his quarters opens. "Shouldn't you be resting?" The look on his face shows a light tease, but the antennae show the true concern.

"I don't want to rest." Is his own immediate stubborn response.

"Don't? Or can't?"

"Shon..." He turns away towards a window, gazing out, and he hates how he yearns for the touch of the hand that rests lightly on his shoulder.

"You went through it down there Christopher. Least you can do is sit down." The Andorian comes around to face him, looking up as the hand on his shoulder shifts to hold a hand, tightly.

Christopher can't avoid that gaze. The thought hits him thst he would do anything for those eyes. "Come on." The hand pulls on his own and he willingly follows to sit on his bed.

He is reluctant to release the hand as Shon pulls it away, only to relax as he sits on the bed next to him. There are no further words yet, just the comfort of actions as Shon undoes the tie that keeps Christopher's long hair in place and combs his fingers through with steady and gentle fingers. Despite his best efforts, Christopher can't help the way he leans into it, even chases the feeling when it threatens to leave.

"Hey," that melodious voice reaches his ears as the steady hand caresses his cheek to turn his head, "I'm here for as long as you need me."

Christopher sighs at hearing those words, a sigh like he's just cast an elephant off his chest, and he leans their foreheads gently together. "Thank you."

IX - 𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚢 𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚜 & 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚗 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛

[oc x sirius black]

｡･::･ﾟ★,｡･::･ﾟ☆　　｡･::･ﾟ★,｡･::･ﾟ☆

Thankfully, the light rain that had begun towards the end of DADA class had cleared up and now the sun shon its welcoming rays down into the Quidditch stadium. Eden was seated high up in the stands beside Lily. The two of them were sporting their red Gryffindor shirts as a way to show their 'quidditch spirit'. Far on the field below they could spot all of the Gryffindors standing in a circle listening to James who, as past years' Captain, had the responsibility (privilege, as he saw it) for running the tryout.

"What position would you want to play if you could pick?" Lily asked as they sat waiting.

"Oh bloody hell," Eden thought, "What even is Quidditch?"

"Eden?" Lily nudged her with her arm.

"Oh, sorry, right what would I want to play…Well, there are so many positions I wouldn't know where to start," Eden pulled nervously at her sleeve.

Lily raised a quizzical brow, "All four positions?"

"Four seems like a lot to me," Eden forced out a laugh, "Which position would you be?"

Lily smiled along with her, "If I had to choose, I would probably be a seeker."

Eden, seeing her chance to learn more about the sport, tried to keep Lily on the topic of Quidditch.

"Why a seeker specifically? Compared to the others, what interests you about it?"

"Well, I suppose I'd be a seeker because I think I'd be good at the independence of it ya know? Like you're still part of the team and all but you kind of get to go and search for the snitch by yourself, and you're less likely to get hurt, in most cases anyways."

"Oh yeah, that makes sense." Eden lied.

"And that's James's position so I kind of want to show him up at it," Lily added grinning.

"Oh yes of course," Eden grinned along with her, "What positions do Sirius and Camilla play?"

"Camilla is a beater, which suits her perfectly, she likes to go out and get- well not violent but physical, she likes to let her stress out."

"And Sirius?" She asked curiously.

"Oh he's a chaser. Ya he's pretty quick and he plays smart so he's good at stealing the Quaffle and passing it around." Lily answered.

Eden nodded along, trying her best to absorb all of the new information.

Suddenly, Eden became aware of the sound of footsteps coming up from the staircase. Looking back over her shoulder, she saw Remus and Peter making their way over to where she and Lily were sitting.

"Hey," Remus greeted them softly as he took a seat next to Lily, Peter followed behind him, settling in beside Eden.

"We weren't sure if you were coming to watch Peter," Lily smiled at the darkly dressed boy.

The sides of Peter's face lifted up into something that somewhat resembled a smile, but he didn't speak any words in response to her greeting.

The loud sound of a whistle being blown prevented any awkward conversation, and at once the sky became alive with the flaming red of Gryffindor jerseys.

Focussing her eyes on one player at a time, Eden managed to make out James hovering towards the middle of the field, he appeared to be yelling some sort of direction at the others, but what that was Eden could only guess.

"Didn't want to chase balls around the sky?" Peter asked fortuitously.

"Pardon?" Eden remarked, somewhat startled.

"You don't play quidditch," Peter clarified.

"Oh, yeah I've honestly never had the chance to try it; seems too late to start it now."

Lily leaned over, "We talked a bit about it at breakfast this morning, did you sleep in today or something?"

Peter shifted up, tensed, on the bench, "Ya, I had to go back to the train last night to get the rest of my stuff, so I didn't get much sleep last night."

Lily half-nodded along with him, her focus completely on the tryout in front of her. Eden however, glanced at him curiously, her eyes straying towards his hand that was gripping the bench, his knuckles had gone white.

"Have you ever played quidditch Peter?" Eden asked as a means to distract Peter from whatever was making him so upset.

"No," the blonde haired boy said, "Flying isn't one of my strengths."

"That's okay, you can't be good at everything," Eden smiled kindly.

"Apparently I'm not good at much," Peter scoffed under his breath.

"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that," Eden apologised honestly.

"I said, according to some people, "I'm not good at anything," Peter snapped, almost yelling the last words as he suddenly stood up, "Isn't that right Remus?"

"Hey slow down, what are you talking about Peter?" Remus asked quickly, looking worriedly at Lily who was just as alarmed as him.

"Oh has the perfect Remus Lupin suddenly had a wave of dementia? You know what you've said," Peter sneered, "You all have."

And with that Peter stormed out of the stands, quickly descending the stairs back to the ground.

"What in Merlin's name was that about??" Lily asked anxiously.

Remus, who was looking rather distraught, shrugged in honest confusion.

"He's been acting strangely ever since he got here, he didn't come into the dorms last night, and none of his bags are by his bed. Whenever any of us, Remus motioned towards Sirius and James who were flying around the field, "Try to talk to him he just shuts us down and slinks away."

Remus held his head in his hands and let out a breath, Lily gently squeezed his shoulder in an effort to comfort him.

"I'm sure he'll come through, he might just be stressed with the last year of school, and I don't think he had an easy summer, I'm pretty sure his parents went on another trip and left him with his grandfather." Lily said in a soft tone.

"Oh," Remus nodded, his face ridden with sad realisation.

Eden's curiosity had peaked, but she wouldn't allow herself to pry, it wasn't her place.

Looking back up at the field, they all noticed that the players had grouped back up in the middle, and one by once they watched them fly back to the ground, some beaming with pride, and some hanging their heads in disappointment. The sun had also become hidden behind a wall of cloud, and the three felt themselves shiver as the wind blew bitterly through the stands.

"Well let's get out of this wind and ask how the tryout went, and then we can see if we can figure out a way to help Peter," Lily suggested as she stood up from the bench and brushed her clothes off.

The others nodded in agreement and silently followed her down to the field below.

"Lily!" James beamed as he saw her and the others approach from the bottom of the stands.

"Hey," She smiled back in greeting.

"That went really good, I think that was the best anyone could've ran it," James stated confidently to the entire group, but nervously he looked at Lily, "Don't you think?"

"You did a good job," Lily affirmed affectionately.

James grinned, outwardly overconfident, but inwardly apprehensive about the blonde's opinion of him.

"I'm assuming not everyone made the team?" Remus guessed.

"Ya," James admitted downwardly, "Couple new kids just didn't make the cut, and then some younger guys turned out to be better than some of the guys who played last year. Those guys are the most upset."

"Hell ya!" Camilla shouted as she broke into the group, "Back for another year baby!"

Looking at the downcast eyes of Remus, Camilla caught herself, "Oh my bad, did I interrupt something?"

"We were just talking about the people that got cut," James grinned humorously.

Camilla made an O shape with her mouth and nodded in understanding.

"Where's Sirius?" Remus asked curiously as he looked around the field.

James snorted, "Over there, being harassed by Marlene. Can't tell if he's enjoying it or not though."

"He's not honestly interested in her again, is he?" Lily asked concerned, her hand reaching out and grasping James's forearm.

"I-" James, surprised, looked down, staring at Lily's hand on his arm.

Taken aback by her own actions, she immediately withdrew her grasp, her cheeks warming to a blush as she muttered a silent apology.

"I don't think he is," James pondered, his eyes still on the place where Lily had been holding him, "But with Sirius you can never know."

"The man could honestly probably pull any girl he wants, and he chooses her. It's shameful," Camilla shook her head in disapproval.

"Sorry," Eden spoke up for the first time since the group had met up, "What are you guys talking about?"

James snapped his fingers as he remembered that Eden hadn't been part of Hogwarts very long. "Right, well you see, lover boy over there," he pointed at Sirius, "has been in a lot of relationships, well not really relationships, but ya know what I mean, anyways, the ladies love him and out of all the girls he could have, he picks Marlene."

"We don't like Marlene," Camilla added, "Just in case you were wondering."

Eden nodded but her eyebrows scrunched up in confusion, he was definitely attractive, there was no denying that in her eyes, but she was having trouble wrapping her head around the fact that multiple, possibly many, girls had all been okay with getting with the same guy. What if some of them had been friends?

"Well, anyways," Lily interrupted Eden's thoughts, "We seriously need to talk about Peter."

James lifted an eyebrow in confusion and Remus broke into explaining everything that he had told Lily and Eden only moments ago, as well as the situation that had just taken place.

"So he just stormed off?" James asked as Remus finished the story.

"Yah, it was the strangest thing," Remus ran a hand through his tousled hair in utter perplexity.

The conversation of Peter soon dropped as Sirius and Marlene approached the group.

"Why does everyone look so serious?" Sirius asked, chuckling at his own joke.

"Later," James smiled grimly, "Right now it's time to celebrate!"

"Yes, great job everyone, James, Sirius you guys made me so proud today." Marlene smiled up from under her eyelashes at the two boys.

"Oh ya I didn't try out or make the team," Camilla said sarcastically.

Lily gently poked Camilla in the side, but she couldn't help a small smile from breaking across her face; Camilla merely shrugged.

Other than sending a dark side glance at Camilla, Marlene ignored her comment and quickly turned back to the boys, "So, party in the common room tonight?"

Sirius and James looked at each other, "Hadn't really thought about it, but yah we totally should."

Sirius nodded along with James, "Definitely, let's go get the word out."

The group simultaneously started walking their way back to the school. Marlene began bragging to Lily and Camilla's about the new wardrobe her mother. Lily was kindly pretending to be interested but Camilla was silently muttering a string of ill-mannered curses out of pure annoyance. The boys walked behind them, and Eden happily escaped Marlene's ramblings by continuing a few steps behind them all. Her mind was constantly drifting from one thing to another, but she was continually aware of the area around her, and was surprised but not startled when Sirius fell back into step with her.

"So, did you enjoy watching the tryout?" He asked curiously, his grey eyes stormy in the dark blue of the late afternoon.

"I actually really did," Eden replied, shivering as a gust of wind blew over the hillside.

"Make you wish you'd have tried out?"

"Makes me wish I knew more about the sport," she admitted honestly, rubbing her hands up and down her arms in an attempt to warm herself.

"You don't know it well?" Sirius frowned.

"Well, not as well as I'd like to, since I wasn't allowed to play, I never really learned how everything works." Eden spoke truthfully, "But please don't tell anyone, it's a bit embarrassing." She added quickly.

"I won't say a thing." He smiled across at her, "But if you'd like to learn more about it I could tell you a few things, even teach you how to do some of the movements if you'd like."

Eden went quiet for a minute before she responded, "Yah, I mean, if it's no trouble…"

"Not at all," Sirius said quickly.

"And I'd, well I'd prefer if the other's didn't know." She looked at him, her eyes worried.

"Don't worry, it'll be our little secret," Sirius winked at her.

She nodded, mostly to herself, as she accepted her decision. It seemed like a smart way to learn more about the sport, because sooner or later it'd be found out that she didn't know a thing about quidditch, and that might seem strange. And if anything seemed strange about her, she was that much closer to being found out. That much closer to losing everything that she had just gained.

"Do you have a jacket?" Sirius's voice broke through her thoughts.

She looked over at him, following his gaze she saw the goosebumps she had up and along her arms.

"Oh, no I think I left it in the dorm," She said shrugging, "I'll be okay."

"Here, just stop for a second."

Eden came to halt, looking over at Sirus in confusion. He swiftly pulled his letterman off and walked over to her, stopping closely behind her.

"Hold your arms up," He spoke softly.

"What are you on about?" She asked confused.

"Just do it."

Against her better judgement she did as he asked, holding her arms up he was able to carefully fit them into the sleeves, pulling the jacket on from behind her. Immediately her senses were consumed with the scent of rich mahogany and worn leather.

"Warmer?" He asked in the same soft tone.

She looked up at him, her mind foggy, "Um, yeah, thank you."

"Of course, you won't get to learn much about quidditch if you're frozen to death," he grinned at her and they began walking again.

"No, I probably wouldn't," she smiled back at him as she pulled the jacket closer around her.

Inhaling the woodsy scent, her mind was almost at ease, but floating around were thoughts of Sirius, of the girl she had seen him lying with that one early morning, of his rumoured affection for Marlene, and supposed flings with other women. He had just given her his jacket, it hadn't seemed like a strange thing to do, hadn't seemed like he was trying to charm her, it just seemed like a gentlemanly thing to do. She decided that was all it was, just a kind action made by a friend.

Quickly, the two hurried to catch up with the group.
