Nothing, Everything -- R -- Dom/Lij, Lij/?

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Title: Nothing, Everything
Author: Chevauchée [renjenri]
Pairing: Dom/Lij, Lij/?
Summary: "No go, 'cause I'm nothing, everything." Story in three drabbles.
Rating: R, language and non-explicit sex
Disclaimer: I don't know what CDs Elijah was sent during filming and I don't know Elijah for that matter either. This would be not of the true. Lyrics aren't mine either.
Feedback: We likes it, we do.
Notes: This is ... rather owwie. Lots of cursing. All quotes in the first drabble are lyrics from 'Idiot' by Strangers with Candy (no relation to the show) and you can download it at lifermusic.com.


"Can I be fucked like I wanna be every day ... " One of Elijah's friends had sent him some CDs and Elijah had driven everyone nuts by listening to one song repeatedly. He wasn't allowed to put it on the stereo anymore, but it didn't keep him from singing with it on his Discman.

Dom wanted to steal the CD and burn it.

"No go, 'cause I'm nothing, everything."

Something was deeply wrong about Frodo singing this song. Maybe more wrong that it was Elijah, who looked like innocence personified.

"Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, I'm your everything."

---

Elijah thought everyone had left until he heard a noise in his living room.

Coming out of the bathroom, he winced at the mess of discarded bottles and dirty plates. He was so not looking forward to cleaning this up tomorrow.

Dom was squatting in front of his set bag, rummaging. Elijah watched him for a moment before asking, "Is there something you want?"

"Nothing." Dom's hands pushed through his hair. "Everything."

Dom's hands pushed Elijah against the wall and his mouth was hot and slick. Elijah moaned and went along for the ride. Self-denial wasn't one of his virtues.

---

"Mind telling me what the fuck is with you tonight?" Elijah said, voice hard. Dom thought he could cut himself open if he threw himself on those words, like some disgraced Roman general.

"Nothing ... Everything. Jesus, why'd you do that 'Lij? I mean, I thought you understood ... We were ..."

"So sorry, you have to tell me these things. If you had told me you were looking for something serious, I wouldn't have started it."

As the door slammed, Dom remembered Elijah under him, fuck me fuckmefuckme, gasping and twisting and wondered if Elijah had been the same with the others.

"So sorry, you have to tell me these things. If you had told me you were looking for something serious, I wouldn't have started it."

Ouch! You're right. That stings a bit. :-/

I like this. You said so much in a few words, but they were very real, and I could HEAR the dialogue,even though you didn't tell me how they said it.

This is probably my favorite part. Just lovely, this:

"Is there something you want?"

"Nothing." Dom's hands pushed through his hair. "Everything."

Dom's hands pushed Elijah against the wall and his mouth was hot and slick. Elijah moaned and went along for the ride. Self-denial wasn't one of his virtues.

because it says SO much without saying so much. Bah. I shouldn't try to give real feedback right after I wake up. Perhaps I should have restrained myself to "eee!" *grins*

No, this works. Course, "eee!" would have worked too. lol

Thanks!

It makes *me* want to bitch-slap Elijah.

C'mere, Dom ... I'll comfort you.

Very nice, Ren. I'm all angsted up now.

Will probably need angst relieft therapy or something.

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeey... 'snot his fault he thought it was nothing and Dom didn't. Just .... massive miscommunication. That's right.

The line for the prozac forms to the right.

Elijah the man whore? I like it! I loved how it was short, but got so much angst in the air.

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Lij could get him some lovin'. Oh yeah. hehehe

Thank you.

Thanks.

[taconaco.livejournal.com]

I really liked those! Hehehehe :D.

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

oh. *heartsqueezes* oh.

stupid slut!lijah.

oh. oh ren. *heartsqueezes more* that was awful. *sniffs*

poor dom and ... and stupid freaking labels. and i love how you give this... this -glimpse- of it, that is so easy to miss, just these... these lines that are... foreshadowing. most esp.; Self-denial wasn't one of his virtues. you think he means dom, you want him to mean dom and only dom and always dom.

when, really, it's just. in general. in everything. always.

*sighs*

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but ... How many relationships gone to hell because people assume the other person wants the same thing? Elijah might have been a bastard in the phrasing, but he was right too -- someone sure as hell needed to talk sooner in this.

And I adore you, you know that? Of course, you're me, so you should know that already. But I'm telling you anyway. I absolutely adore you.

[ex-dark-soul916.livejournal.com]

How many relationships gone to hell because people assume the other person wants the same thing?

*sighs* too many.

and you raise a good point. but it's still... sad, you know? the lij never said hey, this is less, and dom never said hey, i need more. and i think i just realized that this could be partly responsible for my ficlet. wow.

and i adore you, too. *kisses*

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

More communication would be of the good, yes.

I'm a muse! .... Must wear a flowing dress and get one of those lyre things.

*snogs*

[ex-dark-soul916.livejournal.com]

*appears thoroughly snogged*

*laughs*

YOU SO ARE!!

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

I only just got a chance to read this...

Wonderfully painful -- I loved it. And it made me pissed at Elijah, which is not easy, because I adore that boy. But poor Dominic!

"Mind telling me what the fuck is with you tonight?" Elijah said, voice hard. Dom thought he could cut himself open if he threw himself on those words, like some disgraced Roman general.

Makes my heart ache for him. Beautifully done!

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Ooo, made a Lijah fan mad at him? Ok, I'm going to wander off in a happy daze.

Thank you!

[bellsforme.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Wow. Beautiful.

I'm so going to download that now. And it'll make me think of Elijah and Dom and this drabble every time I hear it.

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so flattered... It's an awesome song, you won't regret it. Though I may not have done it justice.

[daonna-sceal.livejournal.com]

I downloaded it awhile (upon your rec), but just now listened to it.

And I think you did do it justice. :-) And if possible, I like both the song and the story better because I've heard/read them both now. Nice lyrical-thematic connection.

[chevauchee.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!
