DS_Undercover Snippetage
I'm slowly working my way through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ds_undercover and I'm not even close to finished!
(For those not in DS Fandom (and why aren't you?), there is a story challenge just put up yesterday, where 32 authors have written short stories (under 1K) and they have been posted without attribution. We have two weeks to read and guess and then the authors will be revealed. Such good authors, and there's a whole lot of good reading.)
(If you were with me in IRC last night, I quoted these at you. Yes, I do quote good stuff on occasion.)

And also from that:
One whose number I've temporarily misplaced:
#5
Also #5:
#6:
#8

That brought on the following exchange in IRC:
Dira I want that on a t-shirt. "The fear of llamas overcomes the need to be efficient."
lynnmonster an epigram for the ages!
* Dira nods solemnly
lynnmonster and it could have a little picture of a llama chewing on a packing box, too
Dira yes!
Dira Or a backpack.
Mia or a computer mouse
Dira or anything, really. damn llamas.
lynnmonster yes!
lynnmonster they eat everything and shed all over the couch!
Mia lololol
Mia you sound like you speak from experience
Mia okay, brb, starving.
lynnmonster k
Mia I think it was the llama talk
lynnmonster I was *spat* upon by a llama once

(And to those who are keeping score, and figuring that anything that I'd quote is definitely not something that I wrote... I'm much more devious than that. Surely you know this by now....)

"Your Great Uncle Tiberius had homosexual tendencies in his youth, you know," Fraser's father said, conversationally, while Fraser was still recovering in the men's room. "They often found him frolicking naked in the snow with the local boys. Girls too. He was quite the charmer until he went insane."
And also from that:
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, son. I kissed Buck Frobisher once. Of course, we'd been snowed in for nearly a month by then, rations down to nothing. Thought we'd never see a woman again. It's surprising what can be attractive in a situation like that. I suppose in the right circumstances, I might even have eaten him," he mused.
One whose number I've temporarily misplaced:
“So, which star d’you think my aliens came from? I’d kinda like to know where to wave.”
#5
He's beginning to feel like the Berlin wall - chunks of him breaking, exposing what's been hidden. He knows Fraser won't give up. Ray's so afraid.
Also #5:
Ray tries to hold on to the only thing that makes sense, because Fraser looks too good now. Casual, rumpled, approachable. All sleepiness and warm fuzzies. Ray just wants to brush up against Fraser, let it all go. But he can't.
#6:
"No… it's just…" Frannie stopped again, looking away from Stella. "I don't know what you'll think. I know what I think, but what I think isn't usually what most people think. And I think that you'll think sorta the way that I think, but I can't be sure. Plus, maybe it's not something that you should be thinking, only I think that it is. But that's me."
#8
The point is that Fraser is in my room, checking every fucking item, and I'm on the couch, watching the tube. I can hear him carefully unpacking while I channel surf, and you’d think that the process of unpacking would be so incredibly counterproductive that he’d just, I don’t know, explode. But I guess the fear of llamas overcomes the need to be efficient.

Even a face-to-face encounter with Inspector Thatcher's breasts left him merely inspired, as he sometimes was when gazing upon the majesty of Double Pinnacle Peak.
Also 10:
"That's what we tell perps--just casually, no pressure--when we've got 'em under duress--"
"I'm not under duress, Ray."
"You're looking pretty duressed, Fraser."
"That's not a real word, Ray."
11:
You write stuff down, and I know you're saying something else, but I don't know what. You tell me what Dief's saying, and I know you're thinking stuff, too and you know I have a secret but you don't ask what it is and you talk about Chicago and home, and I know you're saying something else again, and then you say you couldn't ask for anything more, but what does that mean, anyway? Nothing.
...and I'm not even halfway done!
