The side of Ben’s mouth lifts, quirking to the side and making Carter realize how much he missed his best friend. Cryptic?” Carter asks, sliding it over the knuckle of his ring finger anyway. “It doesn’t matter what it looks like, it should matter what it does.” Ben and his secrets, some things never change. This thing is ugly as sin.”įor a brief flash, Ben looks flustered, a strange movement in his features that Carter never understood when he spied it out of the corner of his eye sometimes. “Look, I got you something,” he says, tossing a small box in Carter’s direction, which Carter catches smoothly, would have anyway, supernatural reflexes or no supernatural reflexes.Ĭarter flips the box open. “Since when are you talking to me?”īen flushes, the line of his mouth smoothing out as his eyes soften, and for a moment, he almost looks the same as before, instead of the Ben in the now. “Since when do you lock your window?”Ĭarter crosses his arms over his chest. “Dude, it’s five AM, did you get turned into a vampire when I wasn’t looking?” Carter asks, grinning when Ben’s scowl deepens. Carter sighs and gets up, flipping the lock and pulling the glass up and away from in between them. He tries, letting his eyes flutter closed and listens to the sound of his own breathing, the slower and steadier rhythm of his own heart and it’s almost like he’s managed to freeze time, hanging in that moment between awake and dreaming.Ĭarter cracks one eye open and spies Ben glaring through the glass, brow cocked and mouth twisted in a downward scowl. He still thinks if he closes his eyes he’ll wake up and realize it was all a nightmare. He doesn’t get a period, he gets an infinity sign.Ĭarter doesn’t know how to comprehend any of it because it just doesn’t seem real to him, none of this does. But he thinks now, it’s all he has to fill his time with now that he‘s confined to his house because sunlight burns his skin and he can‘t be trusted to walk alone at night (not that Sonia said that in so many words, but it was implied), all he has is to think about time and how his is never-ending. He never used to do this before (time has eroded into two separate pieces, before and now no matter how hard he tries, Carter can never fit them back together), maybe the fact he never did much thinking got him into this, what made him an easy target for Danielle, for Calvin they were always two steps ahead and he was always two steps behind. Some nights, Carter just lies awake thinking. Notes: Set in the universe created by THIS genderswap casting picspam, so everyone is the opposite gender: Danielle is Damon, Sonia is Stefan, and Calvin is Katherine, etc. I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours // yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours // you climb out the chimney and meet me in the middle, the middle of the town // and since there's no one else around, we let our hair grow long and forget all we used to know // then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow // you change all the lead, sleeping in my head // as the day grows dim, i hear you sing a golden hymn Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) || Arcade Fire (boy!Bonnie/boy!Caroline) Comments are lovely and con-crit is more than welcome! :Dġ. I've also uploaded all the songs that inspired the pieces because free music is awesome and I liked the idea of making this into some haphazard fic-mix of sorts. This is also un-beta'ed and kind experimental and stream-of-consciousness in places (lots of abuse of parenthesis and italics! \o/), so all mistakes are mine and I own them completely. Notes: This took me a week because I apparently can't follow rules and then I end up with pieces with 1,000 words when these should be drabbles. Pairings: boy!Bonnie/boy!Caroline, Damon/Katherine, Jeremy/Tyler, Jeremy/Vicki, girl!Jeremy/Tyler, Jeremy/Vicki/Tyler, Bonnie/Caroline, Tyler/Jeremy/Anna, and Stefan/Elena/Damon. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. Write a drabble/ficlet related to each song that plays. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.ģ. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.Ģ.
