Three drabbles for you to enjoy...

Southern Burn

Ice glitters, robin’s egg blue shatters into a thousand fragments of need.

Full lips crack, become a smile of conquest. “They say you’re passionate…”

“I can be…” Broken breath a sob filled with a million and two pleas.

Fading lamplight illuminates caramel on cream.

Kisses bless sweat dewed skin. “I think they’re right.” Her eyes reflect the smile. Serena’s lips curve in echo.

Pale fingers sift layers of night dark hair.

A phone rings.

“Light my fire?” The laughter is quickly hidden.

Aiden smirks. “Yeah? On it, boss. Give me ten.” Teeth scrape flesh with a silent promise. “Don’t move, Lovergirl.”

Dawn ignites a flare that trails over the attorney’s naked flesh as she curls into abandoned warmth.

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”

Disclaimer: Not mine. Just having fun.

Paperwork snow mounded the desk. Amber fragments of a ponytail framed her pale face. Coffee congealed in a lime green cup that bore the legend, “ADA’s do it in limine.”

Eyes narrowed in an attempt to ward off sleep. Ring-ring. “Novak.” Yawn. Smile. “Okay.”

Darkened doorway. Rumpled detective. Head against frame. “Go home, Counselor.” Her chocolate gaze exposed the desire that sorrel fringe cannot hide.

Copper and candy met. Unconsciously, Casey licked her lips, her exhaustion fled.

“Guess I could.”

“I’ll drive you.” Anywhere… her eyes promised.

Bodies innocently brushed. Stolen kiss fulfills a million fantasies.

“Take me home, Detective.”

Musical laughter burbled liltingly. Tracey turned her head and smiled at her partner. Sky-touched eyes twinkled and a button nose wrinkled as Kelly returned the sweet sentiment.

Rapidly moving arms and legs in tandem, Tracey felt a momentary surge of silliness, but it was lost when Kelly stood and held out a hand to her.

“Let’s go get warmed up. I think my ass is frozen.”

“I can fix that,” she said, her tone a throaty promise as she was tugged into a lingering kiss.

“I’m counting on it.”

Arm in arm, the attorneys returned to their cabin while behind them, two angels greeted the winter sun.

Enjoy! :)

i take it that you don't remember my "legendary" multitasking skills? ;) you know, seven windows open, computer groaning as i flit from place to place? LOL (actually, the computer doesn't groan so much anymore...now that i have one that's from this decade)

Date: 2005-07-18 12:28 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
LOL. it's good about your new computer. know that decade-forward-march feeling. LOL. finally got a new desktop, still haven't set it up yet, but i'm hoping i can write and render and do whatever nots without it stalling now...

From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
i'm so happy to be able to do... basically what i want to without having to stop and save every twenty seconds. :D i haven't exactly tried anything hard core like rendering a massive graphic sequence... but it has made making the various walls i've done much nicer. :) plus, if i ever go completely into the modern age and get broadband, i will be able to surf with impunity ;)

Date: 2005-07-18 01:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
oh yeah. broad band / DSL... cable / tivo... all those other nifty things from the modern age... i'm such a luddite. which reminds me -- how do you do your walls? do you run them through a graphics program? or do you do them free hand via digital painting? which program(s) do you use? i remember reading a Pink Rabbit tut on how they make their art, and thought that was interesting, though way beyond my skill -- i use the clone brush on paint shop pro for my post work and cut and paste and change color channels etc. for my own textures and that's just about the only thing i know how to do with PSP... :P

From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
i have a dvd player? LOL and cable tv. my mom's cell phone is older than my nephew.

as for how i do my walls... i start with caps... and clean them up and repaint them in photoshop... for various "parts" (hands, etc) i will reference source material like other caps or even magazine and candid photos... cut/paste/paint. i use the clone brush for some stuff, the "fuzzy" eraser a lot... and the blur/sharpen/smooth brush... the smooth brush especially... it's my "paintbrush" it's what i use to push the pixels around and blend them smooth so that the graininess of the caps goes away.

then i apply a number of filters to give the image the "artsy" look :)

not so much the color channels, etc. i'm still learning ... i use the layers and blending options a lot tho

From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
LOL about your mother's cell. i'm still trying to hold onto my old AT&T cell. but i think i'm going to have to switch to cingular soon...

that sounds like like loads and loads of work. nifty results tho (for the ones i've seen ;D) not sure that color channels are good for realistic stuff, but then what do i know. :P

Date: 2005-07-18 02:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
i have a slightly more modern sprint cell... it's only three years old. it is a lot of work but i think the results are well worth it :)

i've used color channels when i want to smooth out something in one tone... or to peel out a certain level of color ... it's really just easier though to use the hue bar. :D

as for what you've seen... LOL well... they're all there :)

Date: 2005-07-18 03:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
well, i don't think i've looked at everything... at least i'm assuming i haven't. maybe i'm wrong, and i did, but just blocked it out. ;D

peeling out layers of colors? hue bar? okay. I'll file it under "reserved for possible future eureka moments". :D i think i still prefer traditional materials, even for the 3D stuff. i'm hoping to translate some into paintings / drawings when i have time, but near instant gratification is also cool. :D

From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
well, the photobucket base page is this: http://photobucket.com/albums/a172/shaych03/ and from there, there are folders containing a variety of imagery.

plus, there's my geocities site, http://www.geocities.com/shaychthree/doodles.htm

that's about all i can think of... :)

i like traditional materials as well, i'm just not as good of a portrait artist as i once was... rusty and all. with photoshop, i have a base to start from... :)

Date: 2005-07-18 04:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
okay, so yeah, i've seen all of them. i noticed a severe imbalance in your photo bucket. :P (and your SVU geocities! :P) think your pagan and XWP stuff are still my fav. :) especially your pagan stuff. :)

Date: 2005-07-18 04:19 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
kewl. as to the imbalance... weeeeeeeell... let's just say that i have a preference for some things over others ;) that's not to say that there won't be any more of certain pairings... it just means that i have to be in the right mood...:D

i don't particularly have a favorite of mine, though my current desktop is My Only One... actually... i think my favorite "image" i've done is one i won't be posting a for a while because it goes with a story i have yet to write LOL

Date: 2005-07-18 04:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
see, i don't know how you do it, holding back and waiting. once it's done, i just wanna get it out there. drive the readers / audience crazy, i know, but i don't wanna sit there, and keep thinking and keep changing. i'll never ever get anything finished.

Date: 2005-07-18 04:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
oh... you have no idea. i actually can't write this story til i finish another one (as it is a sequel of sorts) and so i've forbidden myself from thinking about it LOL but i had to do the picture... it just wouldn't go away.

i figure the picture will help me remember the plot, when it's time. i'll have this visual to guide me as i write.

as for getting it out there... i never post anything "unfinished" ... it drives me nuts to find unfinished works, so i figure i won't do that to others. :D this goes for artwork that relates to stories as well as stories :D

Date: 2005-07-18 04:43 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
yeah, i agree with you about pictures that won't go away. and using them to remember plot. :)

as for posting - i agree with you - don't read anything incomplete.

as for posting, i figure some people would prefer that they have stuff to read than not at all. so i get them out there. besides, it'll motivate me to keep writing, rather than letting it sit and rot in my brain. :P (like all those uber xwp story that are now going to get woven into the Lemon Orange universe because the characters refused to die in my head. :P)

Date: 2005-07-18 04:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
i try not to read incomplete stuff. i will if a) i'm bored or b) i'm beta-reading (which i rarely do anymore...)

as for characters... well... one of the reasons i won't post unfinished works is so that if (such as has happened with my other fannish obsessions) my head gets turned by something new (ooh shiney...) and i start writing in another fandom, or even my own stuff... my readers aren't left hanging.

that's why all my stuff has a definite end... there may be threads left unstitched, but they're usually the type that don't actually have to be answered to have a satisfying read. :D

From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
i've been hoping to have time to work on some inde stuff. just so little time. maybe after i've satisfied the various muses / characters for the current stories. yeah, we tried to write smaller pieces that could stand on their own for the reason you stated. way, way back when, you had like 3 (that i know of) different stories you were working on. are they done? working on other inde pieces? or have you just been too obsessed with shiny Casey? ;D

From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
i've finished a lot over the last few years... like Banshee's Honor :) there've been a couple of other, shorter pieces, as well as a couple of fanfic pieces... check my site: http://www.geocities.com/shaych3/playground.htm

do you remember specific titles? i could better answer the question that way LOL :)

Date: 2005-07-19 12:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
don't remember the titles. i remember one was about a rock star and a bar tender...

Date: 2005-07-19 12:44 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
boy howdy is this thread gettin long LOL

i do recall that story. Midnight Kiss. never finished, i'm afraid :/

Date: 2005-07-19 12:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
and now that i think about it, i believe that's actually TWO stories you're quoting ... rock star = midnight kiss. bar tender = ffolke song (not finished either LOL) maybe/hopefully someday?

Date: 2005-07-19 01:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
oh yeah! okay! that's why i couldn't remember the other one. :P i hope you finish them! really liked the characters. :)

Date: 2005-07-19 01:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shaych-03.livejournal.com
as i said... someday LOL. i mean, you should see my "unfinished" story list... some of course, are fanfic ideas that will probably end up rotting on the heap of the "undone" but others... they're just tidbits waiting for their day on phosphor LOL

Date: 2005-07-20 11:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] alex0adrienne.livejournal.com
sometimes i think writing stories is like salmon spawning -- for every finished one out there who knows how many are lost? or rotting at the bottom of the sea. tidbits waiting for their day? LOL! aren't those drabbles? ;D

Date: 2005-07-20 01:26 pm (UTC)

or in my case, files filled with half drabble/half point by point notation. LOL
