Meme! Look, it's a meme!!

[donutsweeper]

mad_jaks  and I recently were discussing fic titles and how sometimes two totally different stories in two totally different fandoms wind up with the same title, so she came up with a meme idea:

Give me a title and I shall write a snippet for it in several different fandoms of my choosing.

Come play!  You know you want to!

Ah, episodes of TV shows, too. One that comes to mind is Buffy and Supernatural(?) both have eps called "Conversations with Dead People."

Okay! "Red Rubber Ball" :)

Only two for the moment I'm afraid

Torchwood

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jack turned to Ianto.

"It's fine. Have a go at it, Sir."

Hesitantly, with one last look at Ianto, Jack tossed the squeaky ball in the air. It disappeared with a flap of wings and a quick woosh.

Doctor Who

Martha watched from the window as the children played. It was just a harmless game of marbles, but the way the balls moved and smack into each other made her shudder.

"You okay?" Tom snaked his arms around her and pulled her into a hug.

"Am now," she replied with a smile.

Oh, don't apologize. Those are lovely. The squeaky ball bird, squee! I hope it doesn't get into trouble, wherever it's disappeared to. Or I hope it's *fun* trouble anyway. :)

Very evocative Martha snippet too.

You're fast!

Rubber balls can be very sneaky *nods*

Glad you liked them! :)

Oh these are my favorite in this thread. A flying squeaky ball, whee! And Martha is nifty!

Only with Torchwood could I be sitting here wondering, "OK, did the ball just sprout wings and take off, or did the pterodactyl get it?"

Have to admit I didn't get the DW one at first glance. Then I read it again, and, oh crap... Very nice.

Did the ball sprout wings, did the pterodactyl get it, did it go into some time dilation field, is Ianto just messing with Jack... who knows? Gotta love Torchwood for that!

I couldn't resist jumping in...

NCIS

Tony look at the red rubber ball dangling from the leather strip he held with two fingers with a mixture of fear and rising lust.

"You want me to wear this?" he questioned with a catch in his voice.

"That's the general idea, Honey Buns."

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, he's never going to live down the Honey Buns nickname, is he?

[kaylashay81]

Nope... I almost went with Sex Machine, but Honey Buns fit so much better.

:-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it is a good one!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Is it a kind of sex toy?

[kaylashay81]

A red ball gag...

I left it open for interpretation as to who wanted Tony to wear it... but in my mind it was Gibbs.
