2 drabbles that were lost

[salixbabylon]

Two drabbles seem to have been deleted or eaten by monsters or something - they aren't anywhere in my LJ. Most odd. They are old.

And they are here:


Orlando/Viggo drabble

This one comes from lennongirl's post Here are the first lines from the first 20 songs that pop up on my play list. The challenge: write drabbles inspired by any line of your choice

19. I still believe in your eyes, I just don't care what you've done in your life.
(Gigi D'Agostino - L'amour toujours)

Brown

"Brown" is the most succinct word, but so undescriptive. I've mixed pigments over and over, but can never quite capture the essence of your eyes, any more than I can capture the essence of you on canvas or film. You change, always in motion, and they change, reflecting the whirlwind within you.

Swirls of color and energy are the closest I can come. Every time I see you, the colors are different. We don't have to talk about your secrets, about who you fuck when I'm not there. I still believe in your eyes, I just don't care what you've done in your life.

You, now, are all that matters.




Orlando/Sean drabble

This is from the slashy_retreat's drabble exchange, where we got to play in each others' worlds. I got to play in uinendolothen's Justify My Love universe.

Hoping

He's young and smooth and beautiful and the way his eyes taste my skin makes me burn. A few days ago, his awkward overtures gave way to startling bluntness. I had been waiting for it, for him, for so long that I almost can't believe it. So here I am, drinking a cold beer on my porch, running my fingers through the condensation, wishing the bitter moisture in my mouth was the taste of his sweat. Unable to believe it's possible, that what I saw today was more than just wanting or needing or lust. That my hidden hopes might be true.

Tomorrow, if I see it in his eyes. Tomorrow, if it's there, I'll know it's for real. Then tomorrow... Tomorrow, I'll go to him. Tomorrow, we'll justify our love.

So very beautiful. I especially love Viggo trying to replicate Orlando's eyecolor.

Thank you! I wrote them so damned long ago, but I'm glad I decided to post them. *hugs*

The artist thing - it's difficult, isn't it? Especailly when you have a muse that you're so in love with. You can never capture them, never pin them down.
