[beautiful] - andrew/elijah

beautiful - andrew/elijah (for the btvs/rps challenge)

It catches Elijah at the oddest of moments. When he comes to bed late and Andrew curls around him, limbs heavy and warm with sleep.

Or watching Andrew perched on the edge of the couch mid game, his tongue poked out in concentration. Elijah, foot tapping a staccato beat, glances out of the corner of his eye and is awed by the intensity of focus.

Or moments later when Andrew's character suffers an untimely and violent death, and Andrew lets loose with a string of curse words in five languages, two of which are artificial.

Then it hits him.

Beautiful.

Whereas I was generally holding the Scoob-lothing of Andrew, and you made me like him nonetheless.

*dance* feel the andrew love!

Dood, leave it to you to make something beautiful from a pairing that I was only able to make a big joke of. Hee. :)

This is like the most beautiful geek love ever. The languages are the genius touch. Gah. I'm all drawn in and stuff.

wheeee geek love!

i must admit a certain fondness for the languages bit myself.

[dorrie6.livejournal.com]

Hey, are you forgetting to post a link to these in the challenge thread? Or did I just miss it?

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

i just . .didn't. i thought they were all kinda meh except for maybe the riley/astin one, surprisingly enough.

[dorrie6.livejournal.com]

I didn't think any of them were meh. :P

Andrew lets loose with a string of curse words in five languages, two of which are artificial.

Teehee! Would those languages perhaps be Vulcan and Klingon?

This concept (Elijah/Andrew rather than Frodo/Andrew or Elijah/Tom) was very unusual (to me, anyway) but you really made it work.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

i was also thinking of elvish :)

thank you!

[spikendru.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah! Definitely Klingon and Elvish. Riley/Andrew? Hmmm . . . although Riley seems to be Xander's type (Can I have sex with Riley, too?) and Xander is Andrew's type (I adored Andrew mouthing Anya's lines in the taped performance), I'm not sure about Riley/Andrew - Riley's much too butch for Andrew (even if he is an admitted lesbian. Hee!) but you know Andrew's main crush is on Spike (and he's pretty much the anti-Riley). *g*

If you're interested, I did an Andrew-centric Spander here (http://community.livejournal.com/slashfest/23798.html).

Er . . . not "Spander", "Spandrew". *facepalm*
