cracker jack - dom/elijah

They've spent hours in the store, setting up matches between boxing nuns and leaving a box of bendys in obscene yet arguably natural positions. Elijah calls from the doorway, "Meet you at that record store on the corner". Dom nods, distracted.

Halfway down the block, Elijah hears footsteps pounding behind him. Dom catches him, grabs for his hand, and slips a plastic ring on his finger. "What's this? It looks like it came from a Cracker Jack box."

"It's a compass," Dom says. "So you don't get lost. Race you to the corner." Dom runs, and the moment is gone.



weekend in seattle during the try seventeen shoot. cracker jack, the novelty store, the record store.

Would I have believed that I could love you more?? No. I wouldn't have. And then you give me this.

My heart is a little puddle of goo and I ache from the loss of it.

"It's a compass," Dom says. "So you don't get lost.

Sigh.

I know that you struggle with Dom/Elijah but you honestly are one of my favorite writers of them. This is just exquisite.

I've been trying all day to come up with good feedback for this - but I can't.

I really like it - the first sentence totally cracks me up.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

when you visit . .because you will, sooner or later, you know it . .we'll go to archie mcphee's. that store -rules-. :)

[starfishchick]

There's a whole STORE? (Somehow I thought it was just an internet thing.)

I ordered stuff from their Web site for someone on ChickLit in exchange for UK-only LUSH stuff!

P.S. Did you read mimismartypants today? I hurt myself with the laughing. Oh My God.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

yes! oh my gosh. it rules. it's three blocks away from my favorite music venue in seattle :) this drabble takes place in ballard, actually, the scandinavian district of seattle :)

[goovie.livejournal.com]

good god, that whole drabble is about me and horvendile.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

!!!

[goovie.livejournal.com]

hee. it just sounds so much like us. now i miss going to toy stores with him.
in other words, i love the drabble, yumyumyum.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

*laugh*

you, too, have to experience The Real Archie McPhee's WHEN you come visit.

i wonder if the dvn guys realize that it's three blocks from where they're playing. it would be tragic if they missed it.

[goovie.livejournal.com]

take them!

[frisbyg.livejournal.com]
