Sorry about my brief absence; I spent the past two days in such a mood that it's for the best my social interaction was limited. I'll catch up on your comments/posts as soon as I'm able!
To make up for it, two things today; Fic (for Friday) and Song post (for Sunday). "Show off my geek side day" (Sat.) will be taken care of when I can upload pics, probably tomorrow.
Firstly, the song. Today's is from the Greens playlist. I had the album for the longest time and it wasn't until it came up one day, and in listening to the lyrics I realized what a great fit this was for Butch (and his potential feelings for/fascination with Buttercup). It goes from muted and contemplative to loud and screamy, and overall there's something very guttural about it which feels particularly fitting. Not to mention it feels a fair illustration of the bipolarity in their relationship.

Secondly, the fic. I'd been planning on posting something else, but that's a little more involved story-wise and there was no way I could get it done in time to post. I didn't quite want to do a drabble; what wound up happening was a series of them marginally connected by a common theme. Eh, I dunno. I don't know that I executed it quite the way I wanted to, but these Fridays are less about making it perfect (which, let's face it, is a pipe dream) than they are about making me write. I do like that these Fic Fridays so far are inspiring me to write things I don't feel I'd normally do for the fandom. Experimenting is fun!

Summary: “One must desire something to be alive.” - Margaret Deland
Notes: An exploration of what various characters want, ranging from superficial/material to something deeper. No timeline. Ultimately I think I liked the idea more than I liked the result. Unbeta'd.
