How did it get to be December already?

[asimplechord]

FYI, end-of-year holidays are pretty much my least favorite holidays (other than Valentine's Day). I hate the pressure of gift-giving, and while I appreciate the time off and love to see family, travel around Xmas and NYE is a hassle, especially when my relatives and in-laws live on opposite sides of the country, and both request our presence.

I need to be poked into the card-writing and gift-giving spirit.

So. Prompt me?

Any fandom I've ever written or plotted in (HP, SPN, SPN RPF, bandom, hockey RPF, Criminal Minds, House, GK) or even ones based on a show I've watched but not written in - see my 2010 summary post for shows I've been following. Fandom, character/pairing, one phrase or up to three words, song, picture, or other inspiration.

GK, Brad/Nate or Brad/Walt or any pairing of your choosing, canon or college!AU, "I lose my sense at the sight of you".

Flipflop smiles, Walt/Brad

Walt has worked as a lifeguard, first at pools and then at the beach, since he was fifteen. For a kid in south Florida, it's a steady job, and Walt sticks with it, full-time when he can, part-time when classes are in session and he can't arrange his schedule any other way.

Experience has taught him that random pick-ups and one-night stands can be awesome, but he's through being someone's fling. He's done with tourists and vacationers.

But he sees this guy one afternoon in March; he rides his board with confidence, swims easily with the current while he waits for a set, and he glances their way a couple of times, enough for Walt to be struck by the bright, cool blue of his eyes, but he doesn't approach the stand to flirt with him or Justine.

He's back the next day, obviously bored by the lack of challenge in the day's surf, but even more obviously interested other aspects of the beach. Walt tells himself that he's not affected, but he knows even before the guy reaches the lifeguard stand how this night is going to end.

Oh! You did this verse and pairing! And we get to see Walt's POV! YAY.

Walt has his own backstory. I am not kidding when I say that even without being even close to half-written this AU has eaten my brain.

You're such an overachiever. I love it. :)

(Also, Walt totally deserves his backstory!)

Was watching SPN reruns this morning and they showed the one with Jensen doing Eye of the Tiger. Jared's laughter in the background kinda makes me miss that fandom altogether, and remember how much I love J2. But I also thought about Steve giving Jensen shit over that.

WALT. Walt is the priority this evening. :D :D :D

Was there a new episode last week? I can't remember. I am pretty disenchanted with this season. I was not that fond of Sam after S3, and that hasn't changed. The writing is just not as good, collectively, as it used to be. There are some decent episodes, but overall no.

Remind me to dig out the old Jensen/Chris Kane from... somewhere in the closet in my office? Maybe?
