need soemthing to do

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, maybe find a creative alternative?) (Only if you want to and haven't already.)

Thoughts From Me: Please write the pairing/fandom, and a prompt if you feel like leaving one. I will do it all, if I know the fandom (if I don't I will give it a shot but don't expect it to be perfect or anything.)

I can actually prompt twice if you want and if you don't, then just pick one of the two:

1. Jaspin-Spinelli disappears from PC and the next Jason hears of him is six months later and he's in jail in Turkey.

2. Zombieland-Tallahasse and Columbus: Columbus saves Tallahasse's life and doesn't understand why the older man seems more angry than grateful.

Asylum - (this is only a snippet of it, as it has morphed into longer fic that i'll post later)

It took him six months to track down Spinelli.

He could still remember the day he disappeared. Like it was yesterday. He’d come home to an empty Penthouse, quiet and dark, it wasn’t right from the moment he’d entered. He’d looked everywhere, talked to everyone, but no one had seen the quirky computer hacker all day. After a while, Jason thought maybe he’d just had enough, finally gotten smart and left while he still had the chance. It hurt, losing Spinelli – they’d just started this unnamable thing together, where Spinelli would slip into Jason’s room after a particularly messy situation with rival mobsters or the always interfering Johnny – but he pushed such feelings aside. He was Jason Morgan, Spinelli’s Stone Cold, and so he put up his emotionless-robot-façade and tried to move on. There was no evidence to suggest anything nefarious had happened.

But, he was wrong. So, so, so, so unfathomably wrong. He had to be wrong. Because there was no way Spinelli would have ended up like this otherwise.

He found Spinelli in Turkey, off all inexplicable places. A Turkish Prison for the Clinically Insane, to be more specific. He’d had to bribe four different people just to verify that someone matching Spinelli’s general description was there at all. And it took another eight rather considerable monetary incentives to gain access to the place.

He’d taken the first flight he could get, didn’t even stop to find a hostel to stay in, just went straight to the prison. Jason was torn on what he wanted to find there. On the one hand, if Spinelli was there Jason would know where he was, could fix this and find out what had happened. On the other, that would mean something, something bad, had happened and Spinelli had ended up somewhere terrible.

A guard– one Jason had paid off – Berker, his name was, waved him through the main gates and motioned him toward a set of double doors that led him into what was essentially just a row of cages too small to comfortably house anyone excepting someone roughly the size of a small child. The guard walked beside him, scowling at the inmates as they passed by cell after cell. No one was familiar, none of them were Spinelli.

“No one else?” He asked, aware that the guard knew marginal amounts of English.

“Infirmary.” The guard grunted and pointed down the hall to another set of double doors.

Now he really hoped Spinelli wasn’t here.

But, he was.

Kind of.

He seemed caved in on himself, skinny and sickly pale. He was dirty and he had bruises all over, it seemed. A busted lip, and a nurse was wrapping his wrist in an elastic bandage.

“Spinelli.” He said softly, barely audible in the cold room. How could this have happened? How could Spinelli end up here? Who’d done this to him?

Spinelli’s head shot up at Jason’s muted call. Eyes – one of them blackened, both of them red and puffy – wide and terrified. He squirmed away from the nurse’s touch and tried to get up, but a move from Berker stopped him, froze him in his tracks.

“He leaves with me.” Jason said, voice harsh and hiding edges of panic he couldn’t let Spinelli hear. “I’ll pay you whatever you want, but he’s not staying here.”

“Talk to the Boss.” Berker said, shrugging in such a way that Jason knew this went over the guard’s head.

“Have to go. Boss will be in soon to talk.” Berker told him, one hand curling around Spinelli’s shoulder to lead him out of the room. Spinelli winced, kept his eyes on Jason, begging for escape.

“I’ll bring you home, I promise.”

***

It took him two more days to reach an agreement with the Warden at the Turkish Asylum. Jason would pay a staggering fee and Spinelli - or whatever name he was here under – would be released. Escaped, the warden would say, if asked.

Berker brought Spinelli to him late that night just outside of the prison compound. He had a car waiting to take them to the airstrip where a private jet would take them back to New York. They had him in a straight-jacket, which Jason promptly removed.

“Spinelli,” he said, once Berker had left them. He found himself tackled by the hacker, arms thrown around his shoulders as Spinelli all out sobbed against his shoulder. “I’ve got you, it’s okay. We’re going home.” He assured the younger man, a hand moving carefully over his back.

Sigh, I should have guessed that this is what would happen...You write this piece about Spinelli basically ending up in hell on earth for some unknown reason. All we get are tantalizing little tidbits and are left with many, many questions. Now I impatiently await the answers. I am glad that Jason got Spinelli out, at least I can take solace in that outcome. Now I just have to figure out how to manage until the next installment.

ignore this. just linking so i can keep track when i archive stuff

Tallahassee hasn’t spoken to you in three days. Won’t even look at you or acknowledge that you exist. This is exceptionally annoying now that it’s just the two of you, now that Wichita and Little Rock have run off on their own again. So, you ramble on at the windshield as you drive through ruined town after ruined town, with no real destination in mind.

“You know, you should really be at least kind of grateful, asshole. I saved your life and all and this is the thanks I get? The silent treatment? Really, Florida, how old are you? Six? Jeez. At least a ‘thank you’, but no…”

Tallahassee ignores you, stares out the passenger’s side window as nothing passes by. You’re in Bumfuck, Nowhere now, driving through field after field of overgrown crops.

“What the fuck were you doing, running in there unarmed, anyway? I thought I was the mindless idiot here, after all.”

“You are, trust me.” The older man gripes at you, and you don’t even care that it’s an insult because it’s something and you were starting to worry that he was actually going to keep this stupidity up. “Now stop talkin’ about it.”

“Why? When you save my ass you brag about it and never let me go off on my own again for weeks.”

Tallahassee just grunts and nods toward the windshield you’re not looking out of anymore.”Zombie.” He says, when you don’t react, though he doesn’t look terribly concerned.

“What?”

“Zombie.” He repeats, but you’re more or less already on the thing and all you can really do is swerve to the side and he takes great pleasure in opening his door and clubbing the once-human. And just like that, you’re moving again because that’s just life in Zombieland.

“God, why are you so phenomenally pissed off about this?” You ask again, because Florida has successfully managed to avoid answering your question.

“Why do ya think, spitfuck?” He answers, and again you chose to see the brightside. Yeah, he’s yelling at you – and it’s not like that’s abnormal behavior or anything, anyway – but at least he’s talking now. “How about ‘cause I’m supposed to protect your sorry ass, huh?”

You snort in disbelief at such ridiculous claims. But Tallahassee’s eyes narrow at you and he turns away again and then you kind of regret being a jerk about it.

“Look, kid.” He says. “I lost Buck. The girls are gone, maybe for good this time. You’re all I got left, as pathetic as that is, so it’s my job to protect you, got it? Not the other way ‘round.”
“I had the situation under control.” You say, in your own defense even though it’s… not entirely true. “I didn’t need help, I was fine. You put yourself in danger for me for no reason at all.”

Tallahassee laughs. “No reason? You were screwed. I knew you were outta ammo, s’why I came in in the first place, ‘cause I saw you took the wrong gun, you brainless moron.”

“And throwing yourself at a bunch of rabid zombies was going to help how, exactly? What makes you think I want to be wandering around Zombieland alone? What if you got biten? You want me to have to be the one to shoot you or hit you with a car door going 70 miles an hour?”

“And what if you got bit?” He counters you, valid point that is.

“…It’s going to happen to one of us eventually.” You remind him. It’s inevitable, really, that one or both of you will get attacked by something you can’t beat. There’s no way it can be avoided forever, not unless the zombie-epidemic is ended and quarantined or otherwise done away with and that doesn’t seem like a highly probable event.

“If I can help it, it won’t be you.” Tallahassee mumbles out and you just barely catch the words. “Pull over, lemme drive.”

Excellent vignette

This was a wonderfully realized little slice of life in Zombieland. Tallahasse sulking, them speeding along taking out the odd zombie and the story unrolling as they go. A lovely and delicate delineation of the relationship between the two of them and Tallahasse's unquenchable need to be the protector, to make absolutely sure that Columbus' survives no matter what befalls him in the process. Also, I can't remember the last time I read something written in the second person, it was intriguing.
