'Fairy Tales' challenge -- 100 word drabble

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

My first effort here. LOL.

For the 'Fairy Tales' challenge. 100 word drabble.
Fandom: "S.W.A.T." (the 2003 movie, plus book)



Title: "No Fairy Tale" (100 words)
Author: Brian Gamble (brn_gamble)
Email address: brn_gamble_at_yahoo.com (brn_gamble@yahoo.com)
Feedback: Appreciated.
Fandom: "S.W.A.T." (the 2003 movie, plus book)
Pairing: Brian Gamble/Jim Street (as portrayed by Jeremy Renner and Colin Farrell)
Date: May 12, 2005
Archive: GAMBLE-STREET -- http://www.geocities.com/jim_and_brian/
Disclaimer: Whether RP (real people) or characters, this is totally based on my own daydreams and fantasies. I don't claim to own anything, nor do I profit from writing and sharing fanfic.
Beta: None.
Warnings: Slash (male/male).
Author notes: I remain amazed by how much a person can say in only 100 words. I love drabble challenges. If you're familiar with "S.W.A.T" (the movie and book), then you know there's a very slashy pair in Brian and Jim. Brian leaves S.W.A.T. and L.A.P.D. after he and Jim have a big fight. (I won't say more for those who haven't seen the movie and might still want to...) Anyway, there's a ton of subtext there. Or so my husband and I believe! LOL. My first effort for 'slashthedrabble' at LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/community/slashthedrabble/


~No Fairy Tale~

"Wait up, Brian! I'm coming with you!"

Brian stopped, pivoting to face a grinning Jim.

"Seriously?" Brian breathed.

"Yeah." Jim's dark eyes were dancing.

Brian opened his arms and Jim pressed close. They embraced, shared a kiss and both began to laugh. It was a joyous moment.

Brian shut then opened his eyes, staring wearily around him. There was no Jim anywhere in sight. He was walking away from the precinct alone; walking away from both S.W.A.T. and his partner.

"It was just a fairy tale," he whispered, shaking off the moment. There'd be no 'happily ever after' this time...

~end~

Wow...that's...it's heartbreaking is what it is.

You're right. Drabbles can be amazing! I'm not familiar with the fandom, but this is excellent, Brian! Nice first offering for slashthedrabble ;^)

Again...very powerful, very sad. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

Gosh. I'm so behind on answering my lj comments. (Clearly!) You thoughts were much appreciated! (Love the fb, of course!)

I need to try again soon...

Brian

Very sad but very good.

Or so my husband and I believe!

I love that your husband sees it too :D.

Thanks!

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

The fb is greatly appreciated!

As is the comment about the hubby. LOL.

Aw! So sad! Just a moment of hope. Thanks for playing!

BTW, I haven't seen the film but I think it's just been added to my 'must see' list. :D

Thanks!

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

I think "S.W.A.T." is very slashy. But that's how it often is with us fandom people -- we just see slash and that's that! LOL.

I can't wait to find time to play again!

Brian

Thanks, Sweetie!

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Kyra! You're just the best. Seriously.

I love reading your fb.

Love,

Brian

Thanks so much!

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's not ENOUGH "S.W.A.T." fanfic -- and absolutely not enough Street/Gamble fic...

The feedback -- and friending -- is much appreciated!

Brian

[mistressmarilyn.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Wonderful. Another drabble link! Very sweet and sad. (Brian should just turn around and go back, damn him!)

Yeah.

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

Kind of gets ya, doesn't it? LOL.

I've no clue why I'm attracted to angsty Gamble/Street, seeing as I LOVE to see them end up 'happily ever after'! LOL.

Thanks for the fb.

Love,

Bri

Hey, how come you never showed me this? It reminds me of my recent drabble "Wha?" until the end. These guys can live happily ever after, even if it's just in our fantasies (and fanfic).

Yeah.

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

You got it, brother! (Did that sound Gamble-like? LOL.)

Thanks for fbing me, Sweetie!

Love,

Bri

shaking off the moment

That's Gamble. He gets all sentimental for a minute, then he moves on. He's a hard dude -- or he's trying to be.

You Got IT!

[brn-gamble.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the fb, FJ. Much appreciated.

Yeah, probably not as hard as he tries to be...
