because I needed more plot-bunnies

[asimplechord]

wendy posted this morning about the slash potential inherent in the US 4x100m freestyle team's celebration, and now it just won't get out of my head!

(As an aside, how close was Phelps's Speedo to falling off his ass and showing us all his junk on international television?)

No, seriously. Garrett Weber-Gale's casual squeeze of Michael Phelps's naked torso doesn't NEED slash-goggles, does it? Especially since, like, not a minute before, Phelps helped Weber-Gale by unzipping his Speedo. (I've got screencaps of it at home, but I am, sadly, at work. I'll add them when I get home tonight. For, you know, inspiration.)

And then she compared Phelps to Jared Padalecki (height, weight, wingspan), and now there's a J² swimming fic bunny in my head that won't go away.

J1 is a freshman at Michigan, competing at his first NCAA finals against J2, a senior Longhorn who's favored to win the 100m free and was supposed to anchor the 4x100 IM relay. If team and personal issues don't interfere.

Y/N?

I don't write fic, but I desperately, DESPERATELY want to see those screencaps.

Posted! The quality is limited by the fact that they're from the NBC video feed and my laptop monitor, but I put the source link there, if you want to rewatch the video.

Trust me, that will be okay. :D
