You're gonna have to wait for the pictures of my new room setup -- my camera battery is close to dying.
-TD: This is why steam power is far superior.-
How? Once the coal or the water runs out, the same thing happens.
-TD: . . . I still say it's better!-
:p
Anyway, been a rather dull Monday -- been feeling rather uninspired. Though I've read more "Moving Pictures," which is promising to be a fun ride. Though I suppose it helps that the protagonist is named "Victor." ;)
-TTV: *rolls eyes goodnaturedly*
Speaking of Victors, allow me to make up for the lack of pictures with Victor/Alice fic:

12. Gown – Lady In Red (Or Blue, Green, White. . . .)
Victor rather liked Alice’s ballgowns. She didn’t wear them often, granted, but when she did, she always looked absolutely gorgeous. He loved the way they hugged all her curves, providing tantalizing clues of what lay beneath. He loved the way her skirts puffed and swirled when they were twirling on the dance floor. He loved the feel of the soft, silky fabric beneath his hands as he pulled her close.
But, if pressed, Victor would admit (with much blushing) that what he really loved most about them was that, whenever Alice wore them, she’d invariably turn to him at the end of the night and say coyly, “I could really use some help getting this off. . . .”

Ultra-short fic, I know, but this drabble was really the only thing I could think of for the prompt. I thought it was sweet in it's own short way. Plus I like the bit of sauciness at the end. :p
-TTV: *blush, sigh*-
Oh, come on, you're a young man, people expect it of you.
-TTV: Yes, but in my world, you get lectured for it even if they do expect it.-
Fair enough. The title's from the song "Lady In Red" -- I just couldn't resist messing with it a little. It's funny, though -- I think I've only ever put Alice in red once, for "A Night at the Opera." Every other time, her fancy dresses always end up being blue. I ought to experiment.
-HD: Well, I don't think Alice would LIKE red all that much. It's more Her Majesty's color.-
I know -- I was actually thinking green, to match her eyes.
-HD: Oooo, sounds nice.-
:D

Hmm, yeah. Maybe I should go stalk
