Challenge 168: Head Over Heels

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Title: Unexpected
Character(s): Nick Cutter, Helen Cutter, James Lester
Warnings: None
Rating: G
Category: Het, (Pre-)Slash
Challenge: 168 - Head Over Heels
Spoilers: None
Author's Notes: Was bored, decided to actually write another drabble for P100.
Disclaimer: Not mine, never mine, playing only!
Summary: In which... drabbles are too short to deserve summaries.


Nick Cutter had never been someone to do things only halfway. He had always been passionate, impulsive, prone to switching from one extreme to another. The first time he met Helen, he had been thoroughly annoyed by her - not only had she got the better of him in a debate, she'd managed to impress their notoriously student-hating professor, too. Two weeks, and any number of heated debates and discussions later, they'd gone on their first date.

So Nick shouldn't have been terribly surprised to find himself, years later, falling head over heels for the irritable and infuriating James Lester.

Hee! Very Nick *g*.

You've got a typo in that final sentence -- it should be 'infuriating'.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks!

Argh! That's what I get for writing without spellcheck and running off to work as soon as the thing's written. *eyeroll* Thanks for the catch!

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmm, seems Nick has a type there... *g*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Seems he does, eh? Thanks for reading!

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

This is so very Nick!

Lovely.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like this :-) Nick definitely seems the type to fall for all the 'wrong' people - especially those he can argue with. It's a pity there wasn't time to develop their love-hate relationship in S3, after we saw so many interesting hints of them thawing towards each other in the latter part of S2 (thwaps Dougie).

Hee! Thank you muchly! Truthfully, credit for the pairing goes to Kez - I asked her for a random pairing, and then it just fit the prompt so wonderfully!

And I definitely agree with that! Dougie has a lot to answer for... xP

Hahaha oh Nick, you do make things hard for yourself.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Well, why take the easy route, eh? xD Thanks for reading!

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Lol, he'd get bored with someone agreeable :D

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Probably true, yeah! xD Thanks for reading!

[misura.livejournal.com]

*is entirely too amused by this*

Oh, Nick! He sure does know how to pick 'em, doesn't he? And I love the idea of Nick having fallen for Helen after she kicked his donkey in a debate.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Yes, yes he does. xP Thank you muchly!

[madcatt82.livejournal.com]

Oooh, shiny! *giggles* And it's all so very Nick!

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you!

[fredbassett]

LOL, how very Nick!

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks!

[nietie.livejournal.com]

LOL I bet that after a heated debate or discussion they have hot sex. *g*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Well, of course! xD

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeps that's our Nick. Although whether Lester would be impressed being in the same category/type as Helen is another question *g*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Lol! Well, this is Lester we're talking about. He just might appreciate being compared to a ruthless, psychotic woman. Secretly. And not tell anyone. xP

Thanks for reading!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*snort* He might, and just smile for no obvious reason from time to time.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[cordeliadelayne]

Heh, very nicely done!

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Thankies! *bows*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Oops! Silly Nick, you'd think he'd learn better...

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Haha! You would, wouldn't you? Thanks for reading!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

I can see this!

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

It rather works, doesn't it? :)
