Cupid Challenge
These were a Valentine's Day-themed mini-contest over on Charloft, where you were given a list of words and had to use as many of them as possible in a mini-fic. Here are Victor's two entries:
Word List One:
Fic One:
It had been a truly perfect evening, Alice decided. Victor’s devotion to her, his utter selflessness, astonished her at times. He’d surprised her that evening with two sets of tickets – the first to dinner at the Roofless, the second to one of the new entertainments that had sprung up lately, the “movies” – in honor of their anniversary. They’d had a lovely night out – dinner had been delicious as always, and the movie was quite fascinating. How they brought still images to life like that amazed her. Then they’d come home, and. . .well, he’d made her feel even better. Some of the things he did when they lay together – well, it made one feel giddy, like she’d swallowed the gas from a couple of balloons. It was nights like these that made her realize just how truly lucky they’d been to find each other.
Yes, it had been a perfect evening. Now, if only she could find her stockings. . . .
Word List Two:
Fic Two:
He felt her fingers at the top of his pants, working on getting his belt off with utmost speed. His own fingers were twined in her hair, holding her lips to his. The pleasure, the desire was almost overwhelming – he could feel his heart thrumming in his chest, like a bird beating its wings against his ribs. The smell of her, the feel of her, the taste of her. . .nothing could be more perfect.
Victor really loved St. Valentine’s Day.
