SG:A ficlet

[nny]

The rarely used curtain in the corner of the infirmary clacked shut and the container of eggs was set down with enough force to set the various and sundry medical implements rattling.

"I think this has gone on quite long enough, don't you?"

The Scottish accent had mysteriously disappeared, though the eyes were just as blue as ever they had been; slightly more accusing than was habitual, perhaps. His scowl intensified as Crowley hopped up to sit on the bed, running fingers idly over the blue-black scales that climbed the side of his neck.

"You don't like it? I think it sssuits me."

"The words 'testing' and 'destruction' could easily come into play." Aziraphale fiddled distractedly with the stethoscope that was draped around his neck and tried not to grit his teeth. It'd been a good long while since the demon's eyes had been that familiar shade of yellow, but the barely suppressed laughter in them was ever irritating and irrepressible. "You'll just have to admit that I've won this round; they'll go to quite ridiculous lengths in the aid of a friend, they're far more selfless than you give them credit for, and it's not just because you're pretty."

It really wasn't his fault if he sounded a little smug. Crowley won entirely too many rounds, these days.

"All right. I'll give you this one." He grinned and widened his eyes a little. (Even when he was doing the 'and in conclusion, human' act, he'd never quite got the innocent look down.) "How're you going to tell them you fixed this one, then?"

"Oh." The angel's forehead wrinkled in thought (and this was the majority of his human act.) "I suppose I'll spin some story about genetic engineering again - they don't seem to tire of it."

Crowley snorted. "You could come up with something a little more creative..."

Aziraphale sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose. "For goodness' sake, man. I'm an angel, not a doctor."

OH LOOK YOU'RE WRITING. :P

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Badly.

XD

I'm sure this is entertaining except for the problem of how I only know approximately who Crowley and Aziraphale are, but I am commenting to say I read that first line as "container of egos" and really, that's a whole different thing.

:D

[villainny.livejournal.com]

... :O!


.............:O!!!!!!!!



READ GOOD OMENS OMG!

[florahart]

Yeah, this is what everyone says, but every time I've tried it has just utterly not grabbed me.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

The more you do it the better you get.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Intellectually I realise that. My lizard brain says if I write badly now I should just GIVE UP and SAVE HUMANITY.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

That makes me sad. But I love you anyway. :D

This is, again, entirely unrelated. I do believe that tickets on Friday are something like £4.50, and I don't know if you'd be up for Unit 22 on Saturday? Not sure if anyone's going actually, but we can talk about that on Friday =)
We'll give you a call, maybe tomorrow xx
p.s. this icon's for you :-p

Saturday I am going drinking with teachers. Possibly to Reflex. Ug. XD

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

You know how I giggled and groaned when you were telling me about this before?

YEAH, MY HOUSEMATES JUST KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AND ASKED WHETHER I WAS BEING TORTURED.

♥ ♥ ♥

p.s. I do think your writing is improving, though - from earlier stuff, you have a better flow and rhythm going on, and also a more...consistent? feel to it.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[unravels.livejournal.com]

I've never seen that episode, but it does not seem to matter. AHAHAHA last line! It is wonderful, all around. :D

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

*rofl* Priceless! :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but who gives a shit about humanity? Do they bring you cake? NO!

[refche.livejournal.com]

Made my way through your writing journal and am now checking out your memories (The first thing I always go for are crossovers.) and while I had a lot of love and praise to glitter-rain all over you, it magically stopped being important becuase John and Carson. I don't even like Carson! *whimpers*

Not to mention, I (she said, self-importantly) have a whole Good Omens/Firefly novel written and it's not nearly as awesome and fun as your short. "It's tweed." ♥

I don't know how to leave feedback to old stuff so I'm just winging it. How so crazybrilliant, 'Nny? And why didn't I stalk you before?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I don't like Carson either! That's why John clearly has to be Adam because John and Rodney are MEANT TO BE and so are Aziraphale and Crowley, so there is no combining. I wish Aziraphale could be that acerbic, but no.

I... I'm massively flattered, thank you. I'm actually all pink and have no idea what to say.

*beams, instead*
