Life of Mars Drabble: Fake It

[kat_lair]

***

Title: Fake It
Author: Mistress Kat /  kat_lair
Fandom: Life on Mars
Pairing: Chris/Ray one-sided
Rating: PG
Word count: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, just playing.

Summary: “Hell no,” Ray crossed his arms. “I ain’t playing a nancy-boy.”

Author notes: Written as part of the broadstairsbacc writing challenge where we all wrote a drabble to same fandom, a randomly picked prompt (undercover as gay) and then individual Loveheart phrase which needed to be included. My Loveheart said ‘I love you’.



“Hell no,” Ray crossed his arms. “I ain’t playing a nancy-boy. Can’t Tyler do it? He’s experienced.”

Hunt smacked him on the head none too gently. “I’ll need Tyler on surveillance. And you better watch your mouth.”

“I’ll do it,” Chris offered. “Someone’s gotta,” he added, chin jutting out defiantly, “Ray’d stick out like a sore thumb.”

It was true. Ray wouldn’t blend in with the boys by the canal and their perpetrator would be scared off.

Hunt nodded and Ray clapped Chris’ shoulder with a relieved “I love you, mate!”

Chris looked away, knowing Ray didn’t really mean it.

Ohh, poor Chrissss. </3 This is amazing, a whole story in 100 words and spot-on character voices to boot. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, this turned rather angsty! I can't write them exactly happy... Thank you very much for your lovely comments. Except more LoM drabbles on the same theme as we all did them for the same fandom :D

*nudges* Hey honey...It's wiccagal ;) How have you been?

What happened to my LoM icons? They migrated, I think, to DW hand in hand with my H5.0 ones. This is still yummy, not least because I can picture the location so clearly.

I don't think I've had LoM icons uploaded for aaaaaages.

Anyway, thank you! I think a lot of us thought of Canal Street immediately :D

Awww, really feeling for poor Chris :( </3 Great job with the character voices though, loved 'em <3

Thank you so much! It's been ages since I've written LoM so it was fun to get back to it briefly :)

[danae_b]

You're welcome! :D If you're ever in the mood to write some more, we do a weekly drabble challenge at the comm, you're always free to drop in. ♥

I'll keep it in mind :)

Ah, gorgeous. We don't get enough LOM these days and this is a treasure:) Poor Chris, and so typically oblivious Ray - beautifully done:D

I must say I'm not active in that fandom anymore, not even reading unless it happens to be a close friend who's written something. Haven't even looked at my old fics for a while :D Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this little thing!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

AIEEEE! It's been so long since anyone on my flist did any LoM :D As an old alum of the fandom, and someone who wrote WAY too many fics for it, it's fantastic to see some popping up and you NAILED Chris, Ray and Gene down perfectly!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you very much! Yeah, I wrote a few fics back in the day but haven't even read in the fandom for aaaaaaaaages! Glad this worked for you and cheered you up clearly :D
