I broke Darcy!

whitexblackrose:

The blond grumbled at hearing the melody of his beloved’s cell phone. She pinched his arm in the attempt to get him to roll off of her so she could reach the phone. Unfortunately, Thor didn’t but he grabbed the object and dropped it within Jane’s reach.

“Hello?” Jane asked.

The burst of noise fully woke Thor and Jane up. The woman’s eyes were wide and she passed the phone to Thor after putting it on speaker.

“Hello?”

His brother’s voice came through the device, “I swear I didn’t mean to. We were just talking and then she…and then she…”

Thor sat up, “Brother, what has happened?”

“I broke Darcy!” Loki wailed.

“Brother, you are not making sense. It has been a long time since you have been with a woman but that would not have broken your beloved.” Thor stared at Jane with wide eyes. The woman shrugged and mouthed, “it’s possible.”

“It’s not that. She found it mind-blowingly enjoyable.”

“Then why do you think you broke Darcy?” Thor asked.

“She’s not moving! Part way through our conversation she froze and her eyes went glassy!”

Jane mouthed, “what did he say?”

“What did you say before she did that?” Thor asked.

“I…uh, mentioned feeling a magic flutter in her womb.”

Jane let loose a squeal of delight and then jumped to her feet.

Thor stared at the device stupefied before beaming, “I’m an uncle?”

“Yes, you big oaf!” There was a clatter on the other end before a feminine shriek of indignation. “Darcy, love, you don’t want to do that.”

“You, get dressed. Loki broke Darcy’s brain and I need muscles to keep those two apart long enough for a pregnancy test to work.” Jane said and tossed a pair of jeans on the bed.

Thor grinned and obeyed. Silently he wondered if his brother’s blessing would soon become his own when Jane saw her friend swollen with child.

Fic title: This Little Light of Mine

neverending-shenanigans:

He had been determined not to like her. He was usually determined not to like people, and it was easy for him. He always prefered to be alone, and this smalltown in Maine offered the chance for him to hide in plain sight. He might be an infamous actor in a different country, but Americans did not exactly bingewatch Scandinavian TV.

He had been prepared to live a somewhat quiet life, if it wasn’t for the girl living next door. He had told his Assisstant back home to buy him a house – and she had ended up buying him half of one. Semi-detached buildings were one of the stupidest invention mankind had ever come up with, in his opinion.

And for the very fact that she dared to live next to him, he was determined to dislike her. He didn’t even need to see her for that. That was, until one evening, he heard her.

Loki froze in his tracks when a beautiful rendition of “Peer Gynt’s” Act I for the piano carried through the thin wall between their house-parts. Loki sat infront of his own door and listened with eyes closed for a good hour. He didn’t want to, but he found himself regretting when the first Act was over and the music didn’t continue.

Act II followed the same time the next day, and Loki found himself planning his days around the hour of music from next door. They were the only light moments in otherwise dark days.

And then one night, after an angry phone-call from his so-called brother lead to him emptying three bottles of wine on his own, Loki slipped a note through under the door. A request for a particular song. And a few minutes later, the girl next door delivered.

It was the start of something very strange, but also strangely magical.

my meow-meow the science cat tag

Meow-Meow was born the smallest and greyest of a litter of 5. His parents were farm cats for Tom and Millie Santos, an elderly couple living in rural New Mexico. Life was pretty good back then. But when Millie died, Tom couldn’t take care of himself on his own, never mind seven cats, and moved to Santa Fe to live with his son and daughter-in-law. They took all the cats they could find with them, finding them new and loving homes elsewhere. But Meow-Meow was only little and found change very scary and hid under the house the whole time. Tom didn’t know where he was, and Meow-Meow wouldn’t come when called. So eventually they had to leave him behind 😦

They sold the house to a guy from LA who wanted to convert the big old disused missile silo out back into an underground apartment complex. So soon there was an influx of construction workers and machinery that scared Meow-Meow even more. He was still living under the house, or in the attic, where people couldn’t reach, eating the moths and bats and mice. This guy who brought all the noisy, thumpy machines only got so far when the housing bubble burst and the whole place was left alone. So by the time Meow-Meow was an adult cat, he was pretty used to being alone. It was okay, not great.  There were no ear-scritches, or boob cuddles.

But after a while a new set of thumpy, noisy humans arrived, with their own set of machines, and filled out the house again. They weren’t so bad as the construction humans but they weren’t turning it back into a farm like Tom and Millie.

One night there was a big thunderstorm and Meow-Meow had to run back to the house to hide under the porch. Which is scary enough anyway – double scary when there’s a big big big human sitting on the porch swing watching the storm with a beard and a grin on his face. This one has the heaviest footsteps of all and Meow-Meow listens to them clumping back inside.

“There is an animal residing under our porch,” Thor announced, pointing a finger downwards.

“Aww, it’s probably scared by the storm,” cooed Darcy, while Jane went with a suspicious “what kind of animal? You want raccoons? This is how you get raccoons.”

“Small, four-legged, and fast. Dark grey.”

“We’re gonna need more than that, buddy,” Darcy prompted.

“Hmm, well, its face had the appearance of having collided with a very steep hillside.”

Darcy and Jane figure that is a cat but that there’s no point trying to coax it out when all it wants to do is hide.

In the morning the storm is gone and Meow-Meow pokes his head out from under the house. It’s a bright sunny morning, with a light breeze, and a bowl of tuna fish sitting just by the steps. He hasn’t had tuna for ages and ages!! So he gobbles it all up and when he turns around there’s another human on the porch. Not a big scary one this time. A smaller one, with dark-hair, who makes kissy noises and looks like she’d be really good at boob cuddles and ear-scritches. He’s very tentative at first but Darcy gives the best boob cuddles.

He gets a bath (!), some more cuddles, more food, a trip to the vet (!!) and then brought back to the house. Inside the house, not under it, where Darcy has Meow-Meow’s very own cat-bed lined up next to hers. And a food dish, and a scratch post, and lots of boxes, and lots of things that light up and go beep. He becomes Darcy’s cat, and she becomes Meow-Meow’s human.

Jane is fine. She isn’t so good at cuddles as Darcy, but she lets Meow-Meow sleep on the machines that get warm. It takes him a while to get used to Thor. After all, Meow-Meow is just a small creature and Thor is probably the biggest creature Meow-Meow’s ever seen, and he once saw a coyote!

So that’s how Meow-Meow came with the lab and became an indoor cat, science intern and beloved pet. He still likes to eat moths though. They’re crunchy.
