New ficlet: Caress

Heehee! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] undone27 for the Cookie Monster Pic. In return, I've written this little ficlet for her.

Title: Caress
Rating: G
Pairing: Ah, that would be telling!
Disclaimer: This never happened, as far as I know, but I'd bet dollars to donuts Elijah wishes it had!



Caress
by Serai


Elijah closed his eyes and sighed as a warm hand patted his carefully combed hair. The stage lights flared bright behind his eyelids, but it was easy to ignore them. Who cared about lights, the movements of the crew, the mike above his head - who could care about any of it when he was really, truly here?

The hand slid down to stroke his cheek, and a giggle burst from his lips at the feel of it. He opened his eyes and met the intense gaze and open smile. That beloved face - and he could touch, too, reach out and squeeze a soft shoulder. Oh, thank you, he thought to whoever had brought him here.

" 'Lijah," came the rough whisper, and the hand patted him happily. " 'Lijah."

At the sound of that voice speaking his name, a little shiver coursed through Elijah's chest. Oh, he was so happy. He felt as if he could melt away right now, into a little bubbling river. How long had he wanted to be here? Practically forever, it seemed.

A dream come true.

"OK, lockdown!" the AD shouted. Ever the pro, Elijah straightened up, and his companion gestured with his usual excitement.

"You ready now?" he asked. Elijah nodded with a giddy grin.

"Roll tape!" the director called. "And, action!"

"Elijah want…a COOKIE?" the furry blue monster shouted.

The little boy laughed aloud. "Yes! Chocolate chip!" he sang out.

He was in heaven.

*giggle* That is SO incredibly cute.

Heehee! Thanks! Can't you just picture it? Little 'Lij in a striped sweater, sitting cross-legged on that ubiquitous ledge, while Cookie wiggles his fingers and laughs his rumbly laugh? Man, he so should have done a segment - he totally belonged on Sesame Street, little cherub. :)

Gah, but the cute of that mental image has killed me. ♥

Hm. I have recced New Conspiracy, but I'm not sure which site you mean. Heck, how could I not rec it? It's totally great.

By the by, read the fic you sent. Beautiful. Am pondering it now, and will see if I can take a whack at some ideas in the next day or two. I think Sam's got something to say about it. Should be fun. :)

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

ADORABLE. Love it love it love it.

*mushes little Lij*
*kisses Cookie Monster*

*wishes she had been lucky enough to grow up with Sesame Street*

*feels old*

*VERY old*

*slinks off looking for the Geritol*

Oo! A squee!

Thanks! So glad I could make you squeal. :)

I was just a bit too old for Sesame Street when it came out (and yes, I do remember when it first came out). I was more into The Electric Company. Rita Moreno in an outrageous Carmen Miranda hat, singing out dangling participles. Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader, laughing his smooth, lazy laugh as he introduced kids to just how damn cool it was to be able to read.

I swear, if I ever get the blessing of meeting Mr. F, the one thing I want to do is thank him for Easy Reader. Being one of those odd geeky kids who spent recess and lunch alone reading books, and being laughed at for it, he was one of things that made me stick to my guns.

Ha. You're just a bunch of jerks. Easy Reader says it's cool to read, so you all can just kiss my ass!

I grew up with BOTH so I lucked out, completely. Ah, Easy Reader, my hero.

HEY YOU GUYYYYYYSSSSS!!!

[identity profile] serai1.livejournal.com 2004-01-21 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, too damn cool. I so wish the show would be released on DVD. I yearn to watch it again.

Oh! And I loved this ficlet. Too cute for words!

Thanks! *giggle* I just love my Muse sometimes.

By the way, LOVE your icon. You've got a real way with snark, m'dear. ;)

Re: Oo! A squee!

Thanks, but that's Noxious Gases' snark who posted that on [livejournal.com profile] lotricons. But I had to have it just to poke at the Elijah lovers on my list. God, I'm such a bastard.

Oh, sorry. My name comes from an Addam's Family episode where Morticia calls up the spirit of Auntie Singe Addams (who was burned at the stake for being a witch) for help in a crisis.

Wasn't she Calpurnia's sister? The one who danced naked on the church steps and enslaved a minister? Or was that her mother?

Calpurnia's cool, too!

[identity profile] singeaddams.livejournal.com 2004-01-22 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno. Tish just said Auntie Singe. If only there was an Addam's family tree somewhere!

Ah, I remember you telling me where your username came from. I just didn't recall the story from the context...

Thank you, sweetie! You know, I think this is the only fic I've written that I would actually consider giving to Elijah. I mean, if I were all hopped up on courage and fine weed. He might actually think it was cute.

ADORABLE.

:-D

Thanks! I'd been wanting to write something about Little 'Lij for a long time, but couldn't think of any context in which it wouldn't be, uh, too pervy for words. This, of course, is the perfect context for him. :)

[identity profile] stitchesofgold.livejournal.com 2004-01-31 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I have added this to my memories...it is SO adorable!!! :)
