crossover_chickSome more BTTF: The Game-verse fic this 10th day before Christmas:
“So, Dollface – what do you think of Christmas in the slammer?”
“Don’t call me that, Tannen. And what do you think I think of it?”
“It’s a compliment, Strickland! And come on, this place should be dour enough for your entire family to enjoy.”
“I wasn’t aware you knew the meaning of the word dour.”
“Hey, I was running a pretty successful criminal enterprise until that Corelone guy came along and smashed it all to bits with his friend Brown there. I ain’t stupid, Dollface.”
“Perhaps not, but you are the most immoral person I’ve ever met – besides that so-called Corelone.”
“So-called?”
“He was a foreign agitator by the name of Yakov Schmirnoff. Here to spread anarchy and chaos! I have no idea what he had against you.”
“Great, my business wasn’t even destroyed by a proper American copper. Had to be some foreign nutball. But anyway, back to Christmas.”
“Why do you even care about – what is that hanging between our cells?”
“You know the rules, Dollface.”
“. . .I wouldn’t care if you hung five pounds of mistletoe – I am not kissing you.”
“Come on, what’s the harm? I’m willing to lay my lips against yours, ain’t I? I’m risking catching stick-up-my--”
“Don’t you finish that! I am a lady!”
“Yeah, and I’m the King of England. A lady wouldn’t be locked up in this joint next to me. So whaddya say? Spirit of the season? . . .If it means anything to ya, you are actually kinda pretty.”
“Ugh, I can’t believe I’m doing this. . .there! There’s your – your kiss.”
“Huh. You’re – you’re not that bad, Strickland. I can see why Brown hung around you for so long.”
“. . .Actually, Tannen, he said I was lousy.”
“Brown's an idiot.”
“. . .Thank you. Now please, stop smelling up my side of the bars?”
-D: . . .Did you just write Edna/Kid Christmas fic?-
Yup. XD I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for this prompt at first, only that I wanted it to be a BTTF-themed one. And then -- bam, this idea hits me. Basically, it's all about Edna very, very slowly warming up to Kid a little during their first Christmas incarcerated. I've discussed how this might have come about with a friend back on devART earlier this year, but this is the first time I've done fic on it. It was just too funny to pass up.
-M: *snrrrk* See she's still convinced I'm either a vodka or a comic.-
Yup. :p It's convenient for her to blame all her troubles on you. Too bad she can't do the same with actually sort of liking kissing Kid Tannen.
-M2: *evil smirk* Poor woman.-
Yeah, I know. XD Anyway, here's your dialogue-only silliness for the season.
Still having rage over the comment system. If I use the new look (which I sort of have to with many of my LJs), I get a problem with comments only showing up with my default icon. With![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
8butterflyboy8, I can get around this by having everything show up in his style, but:
A) I actually really don't like doing that -- it feels confusing, like I should always be on his journal
B) This leads to any extra-long threads of mine not loading properly -- basically -- at a certain point it cuts off, and you've got to go to the end and click on that to see the rest of the comments.
This is just so fucking annoying. LJ, at the very least, get the icon problem fixed? I mean, I, along with pretty much the rest of LJ, would prefer it if you brought our old comments back, but can you at least fix the glitches with this one? In a timely manner?
On the more pleasant side, played some of EVL today. He didn't do too much, but he learned some new spells. I might play some more tomorrow and get him out of college for an update. We'll see how I feel about it.
Now, I've got tumblr and tags and fanfic to do, so off I go!

This makes me sad. :O(
