I am giving in. I am sheep, hear me baa.
Gimme your drabble requests. I prefer LotR/Redwall/Doctor Who (excluding the new season)/Milliways... but I'll do my best with what I'm given.

It's Claire's wedding. Ace is the maid of honor. Anything that you can get from those prompts would be awesome.

>:D

"Is Seth here? I know Charlie had him, but he can crawl now..." Ace goes back to fussing with Claire's veil.
"Yes, Seth is here. The angel's got him. Seems they've called a truce for the day." Ace assures her. "Now breathe. You're supposed to be the steady one, and I'm the flightly maniac with a penchant for violence. Not the other way around." Claire begins to protest, when she notes the teasing light in Ace's eyes, and laughs.
"Sorry, I was so calm yesterday!" The relaxed mood lasts about ten seconds before Claire thinks of something else. "Oh, chairs, are there enough chairs? I knew we should have done this in New Orleans..." Ace snickers and hands Claire her bouquet.
"Don't be silly. Then you'd be worrying about everyone who's Bound and can't come. Now, you ready to do this?" Ace stands in the dress she would have violently protested if anyone else had asked her to wear it, smiling at her friend. Claire takes a deep breath, listening to the murmured sound of conversation outside.
"Yes. Yes I think I am." Ace smiles, fire-bright.
"Then let's get this show on the road. An' if you run? I'm setting m'pup after you." She threatens gleefully before heading out to whip the wedding party into shape.

Tis beautiful.

Ace has to babysit Millie and Wade. Can be futurefic to make it easier/harder on her as per your whim.

"Thank you Ace, for coming at such short notice." Snow smiles in her black evening gown as she leads Ace through the House of Arch.
"No, really, quite alright. Glad to help." Ace assures her, trying not to gape too obviously at the marvelous house.
Goodbyes are said, further assurances are given, phone numbers are written and tacked to convenient magnetic appliances, and finally Ace is left alone with two pre-teen Fable kids... Who don’t look impressed. Ace does not like the gleam in their eyes - it only means they're plotting something.
"Right. I know you two have sommat planned," they snicker, expecting to rule the night. "But… you've got to catch me first." Is it possible, that for a moment, her eyes are more gold than brown?

Millie and Wade look at each other, then at Ace. Sucker, they think.

Snow and Bigby return to a silent home. Almost afraid, they hurry inside to see what disaster is waiting for them. Ace looks up from where she's sprawled on the couch, reading her book.
"Oh, hullo. You're back early. Enjoy your dinner?" She asks pleasantly.
"The twins..."
"Are fine. In their beds, asleep." Snow stares at the complacent pyro.
"But their bedtime..."
"Isn't until just now, I know. They... felt the need for some extra rest." She grins, and perhaps it is the grin of a victorious feline.

I love it.

Something with Ace, Raven, and The 7th Doctor?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Doctor..." It's a tone that only a girl who's just coming into her twenties can pull off. A sort of 'Why are we here we could be so many different cool places not fair' sort of tone.

The tone of an Ace who doesn't want to be in the American Northwest, learning about native cultures. Thanks to the TARDIS, she can understand what the natives around her are saying (up to and including the comments on the pair's odd choice in clothing), so she can also hear the tribal elder talking about different creatures of myth and legend. They've covered the Wolf, the Grizzly, the Salmon... and Ace wonders if they're going to go through every single animal in this corner of the world. There's nothing to do here except sit an listen!
"Tsk. You're behaving like a barbarian."
"Doctor."
"Hush, noble savage." The Time Lord focuses back on the story, where they've moved on to birds. Ace glares at him. Not a hundred miles from here, there's civilization. Cars, and computers, and things to blow up.
"The Raven is a trickster spirit, but he is also the creator..." Ace frowns. She doesn't want to be here.
"And Ace, those bunny slippers are truly horrendous." Ace looks up sharply at the elder, who continues on with his lecture as if nothing had happened. No one else even notices anything amiss... not even the Doctor.

Off in the distance, a motorcycle speeds away, the two passengers aboard laughing uproariously. One of them could even be said to be howling.

(ooc: Okay, so Coyote managed to get in too...)

Okay, that made me crack up!

So very good.

Thank you!

Ace meets Wash's daughter for the first time. 'Cause, apparently, I'm on a baby kick. *g*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace is on a mission.
It's a fairly straight-forward mission. Go onto the Serenity, deliver some goodies for Zoe, and go home. Maybe lob a few stuffed geese at Wash before escaping. She's done it several times in the last few months, doing her part to keep an eye on Zoe. Wash isn’t the only one who worries.
The first part of the mission goes off without a hitch. She slips through the front door with the aid of one of Tim's keys into the Serenity's kitchen. From there, things go distinctly pear-shaped. She has to duck into a side-room to avoid Jayne the goodie thief and gets horrifically lost, wandering through crawlspaces and corridors she's sure haven't seen humans in years.
Finally she comes to a room she dimly remembers, one with huge windows where you can see the black in all its glory.

There, she finds Wash.

"Hey, there you are, got lost. I've got some..." Her cheery greeting is cut off by a hand gesture that either means 'I'm a bird!’ or ‘Hush, now.'. She chooses the latter, and creeps closer to see what's up.

Wash turns when she is only a couple feet away, and he's holding a cloth-wrapped bundle in his arms. She's about to ask what he's holding, when the bundle moves abruptly.

Goodies forgotten, Ace reaches out and pulls a bit of the cloth away.

"Oh..." She grins, delighted. Ace has loved many things in the universe. The bright flash of an explosion, the soft comforting hum of a TARDIS, Tim's brilliant smile.

She'd be hard-pressed to think of a moment she's been so immediately besotted, however.

"Ace, meet my daughter." It is love at first sight.

[bcgphoenix]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *beams*

You = love. Thank you so much. :D

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

I'd cut, but I cannot. Woe. Errr... warnings for extreme evilness.


She was coming to bring goodies to Zoe, who was growing impatient with the last trimester of pregnancy. Only a week or so left, at most, and both parents could hardl be happier.
Ace knew something was wrong the moment she stepped through the doorway. It was too quiet, for one thing - the hum of the engines had fallen silent. She couldn't remember Mal saying they were going to dock anywhere any time soon...
There's damage. Not scorch marks, but... like a giant hand knocked pipes and plating askew.

There's blood.

Ace is practically running, wishing that for once she had disobeyed Mal's orders to not bring nitro on board.
Kitchen - empty. One of the knives is missing.
Bridge - empty. Blood on the deck plating.
Sickbay - empty. Bullet-holes in the bulkhead around the door, lots of blood. River must have put up a hell of a fight.
There isn't a soul on the ship. She's about to leave, race home, raise the alarm... when she hears someone crying. A thin, fitful sound. She traces it back to one of the small private quarters, one decorated with tiny plastic dinosaurs and a few dismantled guns ready for cleaning.

There. Under the bunk. Someone's under there.

All she finds is a basket, full of blankets. The sound stopped almost as soon as she came into the room. Sighing, she begins to shove the basket back... And the blankets move. Slowly she pulls them back.
It's a baby, a girl. One with Wash's eyes and Zoe's chin. Ace doesn't even try to not cry as she gently picks up this lost baby girl and settles her in for a trip back to Milliways.

Ace and Mel in London.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Now that is more like it." Ace stares at what Mel's pointing at, then at Mel.
"You're kidding, right? The Leaning Tower of Pizzas? The phallic buiding of doom?" Ace, quite obviously, does not share Mel's appreciation. This building did not exist in her version of London, and she rather preferred it that way.
"It's the most modern building around. And tall. Well, not really tall, but..."
"Can we not do size jokes? For me? You've been hanging around Mike too long."
Mel tries to hide the grin that this comment arouses. She pats the poor pyro on the back, and turns away from her contemplation of what she has deemed the only decent building in London.
"So, do you think we should try the zoo next, or just continue on to the museum?"
"Zoo. I think I've got the hang of this rug thing now..." And the two girls zip off, abandoning the view to the birds.

Ace, Wash, and a flock of sheep.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Wash..."
"No, no, this can work! There'd be milk, and wool, and something warm and cuddly for River."
Ace stares at her pilot brother.
"Wash. She's a gunslinger. I don't think she needs a pet sheep."
"Nonsense. They're... therapy. Simon will agree."
"Wash."
"Book will love it. Sheep and a Shepherd, get it?"
Ace facepalms.
"Plus, fresh milk. Oooh, maybe cheese.”
"Wash?"
"No, this is great idea. I'll just need one."
"Wash."
"Yes, Ace?"
"They're rams."
Wash is silent for a few minutes.
"Then again, I hear they're difficult to keep." Ace nods agreeably, and they head back towards the village where Ace had left the car, leaving a bemused shepherd to stare after them.
