I give you my tongue,
and the word it has for you,
and the pleasure it has for you
as I speak silently
to your body.
“Untitled” – Patrick Mulrooney
Okay, so hopefully the first verse of that poem caught my F-list’s attention. I’m proposing a challenge to you all. If you write me a drabble (100 or 200 words; no more, no less) using this poem as a jumping off point with a pairing your choosing as long as it isn’t incest (IE no Sam/Dean or John Connor/Derek Reese) I will let you challenge me to write you a drabble, using this poem for inspiration, for a pairing of your choosing from the fandoms I write in.
The only catch is there can be no dialogue, no spoken words between the two (or three) characters. I want intimacy and soft touches… or heated. I won’t turn away a smatter of sweaty. ;) Heck even humor is welcome.
Good luck and the fandoms I can write comfortably in are as follows: BtVS, AtS, Supernatural, Anita Blake, Merry Gentry, Stargate (SG1 & Atlantis), Dark Angel, The Return, Night Calls, Mercy Thompson series, Sookie Stackhouse series, Resident Evil, Smallville, Blade, Batman (Nolan Movie’veres and comics), Noah Bishop series, Lost, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Burn Notice. (the bold ‘verses I haven’t written in yet, but I’m willing to try.)
FYI: I might need 24 hours to write response drabble since I work tomorrow, but I do have off the next two days so I can keep going if you guys do and if you write more then one drabble you get more then one drabble in return.
Edit: I'm a tool. *facepalm* Please post your drabbles and pairings as a comment to this thread and I'll respond with a drabble for you.

Dr. Samuel Cornick/Dawn Summers(post college)
Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. He looked forward to sleeping at the Alpha’s home tonight & thoughts of a wide bed made his tired body hum. He avoided everyone, slipping into the locker room to grab his keys. But instead of the rear entrance, he found himself moving back toward the nurses’ station. There was a humming under his skin & the Wolf rumbled with approval as Samuel followed the pull. Stopping at a gurney, he examined the young woman laying still and pale; the gash on her forehead already surrounded by a deep purple contusion.
She had a very youthful look about her and a memory of young Mercy flashed, but his Wolf disagreed and Samuel found himself leaning in for a closer look. Her scent was compelling and he could feel his Wolf’s interest. Allowing Wolf to claim a mate again before his heart was invested would lead to another heartache he couldn’t afford & he steeled himself to push aside his wilder nature.
But then her eyes opened & he was lost inside a blue sea of recognition. She smiled, touching his face before wincing at the pull of her injured lip. Who was Dawn Summers and why did he feel like he needed to remain by her side?

She felt the press of his heart beneath her nails as she curved her fingers and brought them across the flat plan of his chest. His breath shuddered, head falling back as Darla dipped forward, pressed them temple to temple and released a chilled breath against the shell of his ear.
He trembled and her lips spread wider, thighs tightening against his sides as her head dipped lower, jaw stretching as her face shifted. She buried it against his neck, pink tongue easing careful, so careful, between her cuspated canines to taste his neck before she showed him the world.
Note: Didn't mention Jason's name because I really didn't think Darla would have bothered to learn it.

Their cat and mouse game was great fun and she suddenly wondered if both players were the ‘cat’, what should you call the game?
He tried to streak by her, but the moon revealed his sleek form and she pounced. Claws and teeth drew blood, but no lasting damage made and they rolled to a stop in the moon drenched field. Morphing back into his human guise, she gazed into his dark brown eyes and he smiled up at her. Her velvet covered bum rubbed against his naked groin and a breathy moan was her reward.
He was hers now.
**If you guess the pairing, I’d be happy to try one of your choosing…
Requested pairing: Joanna Mills(The Return)/Spike

Pairing: Joanna Mills/Spike
Word Count: 200
Dark hair caught on the moisture fogging the window that Joanna propped her head against and traced idle circles through the condensation. Her tired gaze looked past her reflection and into the darkness outside the diner where she currently waited for a cup of coffee and watched as a DeSoto pulled in.
Her brows slopped downward, frown deepening as the movement tugged at the scar above her left eyebrow as she watched the driver pull themselves free of the car. Bleached hair catching the light spilling from the diner and Joanna’s hand stilled against the glass as the figure made his way across the parking lot. Coat billowing behind them as they took the three steps leading to the entrance in one leap and the orange flare of a lit cigarette arched from the porch.
Johanna’s gaze slipped toward the entrance and she took in the lean body beneath that dramatic leather coat before her chin lifted and she met their gaze. Blue eyes widened before they narrowed as a world seemed to pass in a moment and then he was moving, taking the seat across from Joanna and watching her with the same intensity that she had watched him.

Dru/ Sam Merlotte
And since I flubbed up... you're welcome to give me a pairing anyway (especially since I LOVED the Spike/JoAnna one). *twirls you
