Fascination
~~~~~~~~~~

Cutter was staring again. And whatever had caught his attention was certainly not at eye level.

Initially Ryan had thought it was the holstered handgun, but no. He'd offered to lend it to Cutter, and had been turned down.

He'd checked his fly wasn't open - it wasn't that.

Maybe ...

"Cutter, could you hold my rifle for a second?"

"Sure."

"I just need to tighten this ..."

A resounding clatter echoed off the tunnel walls. Ryan tried very hard not to snigger as a flustered professor retrieved the rifle from the floor.

Yup, it was definitely the thigh strap.

*giggles evilly*

Love it! Ah, thigh straps...they make me a little flustered too... *g*

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Coo, that was quick! I've barely finished posting! :)

I love that thigh strap. It's quite my favourite item of Ryan's kit *g*

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Tee hee! Love it. :o)

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee! Very nice :D

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

Well, Cutter's certainly in good company! *veg*

*gurgles in delight*
That's awesome!
Cutter and the rest of the female audience!

::evil laugh:: brilliant!

I love the thigh strap too ::deep sigh::

::mind dives into gutter::

[fredbassett]

Yep, that's wholly awesome, and thanks for reminding me that this week's challenge is Ryan!!

Memo to Self : Must wtite a drabble !!

[fruitbat00.livejournal.com]

Love it. It SO made me smile. There is not enough Ryan/Nick fic around.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Poor Nick. Really, Ryan shouldn't be allowed to go around wearing thigh straps and getting the poor scientists all flustered like that. No, wait, what am I saying? I meant he should do it more often!

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love those thigh straps :)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Lol, he certainly is - he has very good taste in obsessions *g*

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Lol, thanks.

It's no wonder that his thigh strap has its own fanclub - it's completely wibble-inducing :)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
That thigh strap is very inspiring *g*

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I think we're not the only ones - it's very popular, that thigh strap ;)

*joins you in the gutter*

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your contribution :)

Ooh, yes, do - the more Ryan the better!

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

More Ryan/Nick sounds like an excellent idea.

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Lol, you can't really blame poor Nick for getting all flustered - who wouldn't, when confronted with those thigh straps?

I figure it's a SAS secret weapon of distraction *nods*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

"I figure it's a SAS secret weapon of distraction *nods*"

Clearly it works! They should *all* be forced to wear combat gear with thigh straps on a regular basis. They did in 1.2, so why not in any other ep?

[fififolle]

Bwahahaha! That was Brilliant :) Thanks. There's not much Nick/Ryan, but even if there was, this would be among the best ;)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm flattered :) Although that thigh strap is pretty inspirational.

I'm surprised there isn't more Nick/Ryan, actually, especially after seeing some of the screencaps in munchkinofdoom's and bigtitch's picspams. They look really pleased to see each other in some of those ;)

[fififolle]

*sees bigtitch's picspam list and passes out before I've even seen the posts*

Hi there! Thanks for the headsup on that one! I'm kind of new to the fandom in a way, watched S2 and liked it, then missyvortexdv gave me the DVD's so I could see S1, and boy, did I ever. I've got two Nick/Ryan's up my sleeve ( rodlox inadvertently gave me bunnies) and I wanted to see what else was out there. fredbassett has pointed me to primeval_denial so I'm going there now. After I've looked at some picspam... :D

Could I have put any more usernames in a post? LOL Thanks again!

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Ho boy, if you haven't seen any of the pics of Mark Wakeling in a towel yet (bigtitch's 'Love Soup' or 'Peep Show' picspam, I can't remember which - I was distracted!!), then you are in for a treat. When I first saw Ryan onscreen I remember thinking 'He's a bit of alright', but those pics really kicked my Ryan!lust into life in a big way *g*

I'm relatively new to the fandom as well - watched both series when they were aired, but only got around to looking for fic a couple of months ago and got completely hooked :)

If you're in primeval_denial have a look for my Sanctuary!verse fics in there (/shameless self-promotion, lol) - my OTP is actually Connor/Ryan, but I seem to have got side-tracked into writing Ryan/Stephen. I blame fredbassett's Ryan/Stephen series *g*

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing what your plotbunnies come up with :)

[fififolle]

Hee! I will surely look out for that.
Oh, Connor/Ryan! *loves* Have you seen anything where Ryan brings Connor's housekey back through the anomaly in episode 1? I'd love to see that *grin*
Just spent that last while enjoying all those pics - they were more than awesome, and I just saw the Peep Show pics *guh* In fact, Love Soup has the full rear nekkidness, but Peep Show *phew* LOL
Sadly, I can't write anything above a PG-13, but I've been enjoying the ARChive website. One fic is out to beta, the other is half done *grin*
See you around, and many thanks for that pointer in the direction of the greatest pic!spam I may have ever seen :)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

If you like Connor/Ryan, you should check out deinonychus_1's 'Five Days/Three Years' series. That's the one that decided my OTP for me.

And I haven't seen any fics with Ryan returning Connor's housekey - you should write it! :)

I'm seriously considering looking for the dvd of the 'Peep Show' series (which I've never watched), just to see that clip ...

[fififolle]

Thank you for that rec - I am really, really enjoying it :D
I signed up for the Primeval ficathon... but I kept the key prompt for myself... *hee*
