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.

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
