DPP: With Arms Wide Open

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Alright shippers, today, in the immortal words of Jeremy Piven....we're gonna hug it out, bitches!



Here are several definitions (stolen from memebells) of different kinds of hugs. Pick one that sings to you (or hey, use a random number generator if you have to), or create a totally unique context for an embrace if you like, and write us a great big hug between Kara and Lee!

1. Friendly Hug: The default hug; a hug as a show of platonic affection. Is it a normal hug, or a pouncetackleglomp? You decide!

2. Romantic Hug: Can't kiss your lover right now, or just want to change it up a bit? Give them a romantic hug!

3. Comfort Hug: They look so sad... give them a hug to cheer them up!

4. Awkward Hug: You really don't want to give this person a hug; maybe you just had a fight, or you're just too stoic/manly/badass to do hugs in general. Too bad, you have to give them one. Do your best!

5. Scoop Hug: In addition to a hug, the hugger picks up the huggee slightly off the ground. Works best when they're bigger and stronger, but hey, seeing little girls try to pick up 6-foot badasses is cute too.

6. Violent Hug: Hugs are supposed to be friendly, what gives? Whether you're squeezing the wind out of them or are just getting them into the perfect position for a backstab, you're only giving this person a hug in order to hurt them.

7. Surprise Hug: Sneak up on them from behind with a surprise hug!

ETA: If you don't write fic, post about your favorite hug in canon, with pics, gifs, or just tell us why you like it so much.

"Leland?" Kara raises one eyebrow.

He watches her lips trace the shape of his name and forgets to answer.

"They named you Leland?!" she repeats incredulously. "Gods, I guess Zak really is the favorite."

She's beaming wide, clearly joking, but it stings more than it should. So he lets himself drop down slightly, crowding her, and lowers his voice to a near-growl, "That's not very nice, Kara."

Her eyes glitter, lips curving into a smirk, and for once she has no snappy comeback. She just stares. And he stares back.

"Left hand yellow!" Zak interjects loudly, his tone slightly shrill.

Still holding Lee's eyes, Kara shifts beneath him, her body stretching, as she slides her foot unerringly onto the last yellow dot in the row.

There's only one spot open that Lee can reach....right between Kara's thighs.

She glances down finally, sees it just as he does, then looks up. The smirk disappears, and a speculative gleam shines in her eyes. Kara shifts, spreads her legs slightly and pretty much all of the blood in Lee's brain rushes to parts farther south. He freezes.

"C'mon, Leland," she drawls mockingly, her voice lower now too. "You got game?"

He wants to. He wants....a lot of things. He hesitates.

"I dare you," she whispers, winking. "I double dog dare you."

Lee breathes deep, and before he can second-guess, he does it, just reaches down and splays his hand on the yellow dot, his forearm pressing hard against the warmth of her inner thigh. He swallows and watches Kara's face, watches the pale skin at her neck flush, watches the flutter of her eyelashes as her lids half-close, the quiver of her upper lip as she breathes, nostrils flaring slightly. He shifts, presses harder. The muscle in her thigh clenches.

Lee is lost--the game, the room, his brother--all of it fades into a hazy background as Lee tracks the motion carefully as her lips part and even, white teeth sink into her bottom lip.

His head dips unconsciously and he is mere seconds away from mirroring her actions, covering her mouth, tasting for himself...

and the doorbell rings.

"Pizza's here," Zak calls, jolting up from the chair as he heads for the door and the spell is broken. "Game over!"

Reality returns with a rush and Kara blinks and falls, losing her balance and sprawling onto the mat. The motion knocks Lee's hand aside and he falls too, half on top of Kara, one arm trapped beneath her. He expects her to shove him aside immediately, but Lee should know by now that Kara never does what he expects. She wraps her arms around him instead, laughs into his neck, and he closes his eyes, squeezes her back for as long as he dares, until he hears the apartment door close at the top of the stairs. Then Lee gets to his feet and pulls Kara up with him.

They eat pizza, and Lee tries not to notice the funny looks his brother keeps shooting them. After dinner, when Kara suggests they play truth or dare, he just smiles and tells her to bring it on.

Three months in the company of Kara Thrace and he's getting used to playing dangerous games.

Oh, SO sexy! I love how they're both just a little riskier than even they expect when they get close to each other :) Pre-mini was clearly the golden age of hugging and UST!

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

I think they start touching and get carried away a lot. They're very handsy. ;)

Pre-mini seems to be the order of the day (with a little AU on the side!)

Twister hugs?!?! Is it my birthday or something?? :)

So hot! Why is real life twister NEVER as hot as fic twister? Haha.

And there's Zak, always toe'ing the line between obliviousness and fanning their flame just to see what happens.

Oh, and hooray for left hand yellow! \o/

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Right? In real life you just end up with someone's foot in your face usually. Hee.

Poor Zak, he just disappears when they get together....kind of magically. ;)

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I'm all cringey for Zak but those kids JUST CAN'T HELP IT!

Twister + premini should be canon. Good stuff. ; )

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Lol. Zak? Zak who? ;)

They really can't. It's a sickness.

She is such a bad influence for him... lol
Just what he needed.
Poor Zak. He never stood a chance.

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Hee. I love writing their push-and-pull so much. It never gets old.

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[kballgetlost.livejournal.com]

Oooo sexy twister fic FTW! Those two just have so much chemistry, they can't help it!

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Pilots crawling all over each other on the floor....how could it not be sexy, right? ;)

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

Delicious tension. I love that Lee is playing along with Kara's games, pushing back just enough to keep her going I have a feeling. :)

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I imagine things had to get just a **leeetle bit** inappropriate whenever they got in a certain proximity. He wants to be a good boy and all, but HE'S WEAK! WEAK I TELL YOU.

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

This is deliciously sexy! Their tension is great, they have too much chemistry for their own good!

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Thanks dear, they sure do! ;)

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[howlinchickhowl.livejournal.com]

ye gods, this is some classic stuff! pilots and zak and games that aren't games and tension and *sigh* just what I needed tonight. Some chemistry and danger without too much angst. Now pilots playing truth or dare could be interesting... :P

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks bb! Hee, you know it didn't occur to me when I was writing it but I guess this could be a prequel to my truth or dare fic! Hee. When Zak gets conveniently called away for a survival mission. ;)

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

*gulp* Oh my, Kara, you are trouble.

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Lol. Always. ;)

"I dare you," she whispers, winking. "I double dog dare you."

And there's the line that makes it art. What an exquisitely-timed callback. And she winks. Of course she winks.

He expects her to shove him aside immediately, but Lee should know by now that Kara never does what he expects.

Which is what makes her so much fun.

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Of course she winks! :) Thanks bb!

Pre-mini babypilots! OH MY GODS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Just the right amount of hot mixed in with "nooooooooo don't do that you'll get caught!!!!!!" and when I say the right amount of hot I mean levels at which I'm wondering why the room didn't just go up in flames there.

I can so see this happening in canon, pilots skating too close to dangerous edges and ultimately being friends to each other (and that final, collapse-on-the-mat hug? YOU ARE KILLING ME>)

Re: Ficlet: Dangerous Games (2/2)

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Twister for the win! Can I ask for a fic for each game in the game closet?? *ducks*

Seriously, this was so hot, took my breath away, found myself frozen in place momentarily!

Shades of Driving Lessons in this one. Nice :)
