Bandom Drabble: Dream a Little Dream of Me

[kat_lair]

And we're there folks! Thanks for the ride, I'll stop spamming your flist for a while now...


Drabble Fest 12/12 (the bonus round!) – for redsnake05 , yes again! Her prompt suddenly demanded another drabble. Fandom and pairing/characters as requested.


Dream a Little Dream of Me – Bandom – Alex/Ryland – PG
Prompt: Stars

DVD Commentary: There is now a 'DVD commentary' available for this drabble. Find it here.


It takes him a minute to recognise the song. It sounds fuller the way Alex is playing it, thick and close.

Ryland lowers himself to the floor, sitting cross-legged next to Alex. “We should record it,” he says.

Alex startles, his hands stilling on the strings. “It’s not really a Cobra song.”

“Not Cobra. We as in you and me.”

“Yeah?” Alex’s smile is like the new arrangement, slow and deep. “That could work.”

Ryland snatches up his guitar from behind the sofa. Their knees are touching, voices fitting together in harmony, just like always.

“Stars shining all around you...”

Awww, just the sort of heart-warming drabble I needed to read, seriously. I really, really, love the way Alex has transformed a song, made it into something that Ryland recognises as theirs. I love the way they end, just touching each other like bookends. Gorgeous.

yay! Glad you liked it babe. This is one of my favourite songs ever and it was stuck in my head and then as it fitted your prompt it clearly needed to be written... And I would really want to hear an Ivy League cover of it too!

One of the appeal of BFF pairings for me is how some people just fit together so effortlessly and with the ease of a long friendship.

Aww, this was sweet!

Whee, I'm glad you think so! Thank you for commenting.

They are the OTP I am most devoted to- the only other configuration I really support is throwing VickyT into the mix, and I can handle throwing the others in if it's still very Ryland/Alex devoted. Yay for Alex/Ryland!!!

This was adorable and made me smile really hard.

It baffles me there is no more of long and delicious fic about them. BFF pairings are my weakness and I would happily read a novel-lenght epic about Alex and Ryland making music together and touring and slowly falling in love...

I'm really glad the drabble made you smile :) Thank you for reading and taking the time to leave feedback hun.

That's always been one of my favourite songs too and you've painted a lovely picture with it.

After drawing a blank with the prompt for weeks, it finally clicked to the song. Thank you again!

Aww! How sweet!

Thank you very much! This pairing just makes me all schmoopy.

Just skimming backwards... I adore that song and I loved this drabble. See you soon!

O HAI!

I was just thinking that I should email you. Cleaning on Sat? I've been immersed in doing this conference paper but after it's over on Fri I would be up for some scrubbing and gossiping :)

And thank you! As you may have gathered I spammed my flist with drabbles for 12 consecutive days...

Saturday will be good. Cleaning and chat... I read a few of your drabbles but haven't scrolled that far back yet. But I had to comment on that one! See you mid-morning Sat.

Awesome, see you then. *goes back to wrangling conference paper into submission*
