Okay, people, BEST FIC MEME EVER.

1. Pick a card on someecards.com. Any card.

2. I will write something for you based on that e-card. I pick the pairing/characters, so you may end up with Alex/Lorelai, or you may end up with Ben babysitting drunk!Stephanie, or you may end up with CHAD. Isn't that delightful? (If anything with Chad can ever be delightful.)

Okay? DO IT DO IT DO IT.

I promise to actually write for the prompts this time.



Give me something to do while I wait for Canadian SVU and Parenthood?

ALSO, PLEASE VOTE FOR LORELAI GILMORE. I love Bones, but THERE IS NO CONTEST. A VOTE FOR LORELAI IS A VOTE FOR SHINY HAIR AND AWESOME BOOBS, WHICH I JUST REALIZED ALSO APPLIES TO BONES, BUT LET'S JUST OVERLOOK THAT FOR A MOMENT AND CONCENTRATE ON VOTING FOR LORELAI. KTHXBAI.

Alex didn't realize how much television she was used to watching until she moved back to New York. She had made a list of shows she wanted to record so that, in the rare event that should Lorelai ever spoke to her again, she could be up to date on the personal lives of fictitious characters that Lorelai was so concerned about.

The cable guy didn't seem too surprised to see that she had three different television sets in her two-bedroom apartment. He set up a Tivo for each set, thanked Alex for her generous tip, and told her to enjoy her One Tree Hill.

"That Brooke chick is so hot," he told her sincerely as she closed the door behind him.

In spite of her best efforts, Alex couldn't manage to keep up with her (Lorelai's) shows. Apparently every single person who worked for her suffered from gross incompetence as well as an inability to follow simple instructions. Between covering their asses and dealing with her own workload, she rarely had the time to sit down and watch whatever she'd recorded.

As the weeks passed and she grew accustomed to her new position at the DA's office, Alex found herself lagging behind. She could overhear Rossi and Finn talking about Seth and Ryan, but she could no longer follow what was going on. Her Tivos grew full and stopped recording new episodes.

She was drifting further and further away from her other life.

When the Break finally ended (that was what Miss Patty and the others called it), Lorelai took it upon herself to put the poor Tivos out of their misery. She deleted everything with one press of a button and Alex could swear the machines whirred quietly in gratitude.

"I didn't get to watch any of it!" Alex protested.

"There, there," Lorelai reassured her. "It was, like, 90% crap. I'm doing you a favor, Claire, by not letting you watch it. I'm preserving what remains of your virtue."

"You're going to tell me everything yourself, aren't you?"

"With added commentary on hair and clothes and maybe even physical re-enactments with sock puppets!"

"Oh, god," Alex said, but she was smiling, and she hadn't yelled at anybody at her office all day.

"Get comfortable, Claire," Lorelai said, resting her feet on the coffee table and knocking over two of Alex's casefiles in the process. "It's going to take a while."

Sometimes when someone tells you an episode of tv it's even better than watching it. I bet Lorelai's retellings are so better than the tv shows.
