Starch.

That was what Captain Tom Ryan was used to adding to his washing.

Not bloody fabric softener.

But now he was in this odd kind of team, where getting close to someone meant a great whiff of fruits of the fucking forest, or whatever the hell they called them.

And it wasn't just Abby and Claudia that were all soft and cuddly and whiffy. Stephen must put bloody bucket loads of the stuff in his laundry, the way those cashmere sweaters felt as he grabbed him out of danger.

And as for Connor...

Someone was borrowing his flatmate's Comfort.

Hee! Brilliant! This is so Ryan. They should all be taking a cold shower every morning and doing 200 press-ups before breakfast *bg*.

*sporfles*

Hee! The civilians need to toughen up, clearly! *g*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Oh, LOL! several times over :-) Gorgeous. Cutter is missing from this, but that's because he always smells of whisky and old rocks :-)

[fredbassett]

Oh brilliant! I could just hear Ryan's disapproving thoughts. LOL, great stuff.

*giggle*

Ryan has so much to put up with from that lot, doesn't he? Scientists and soldiers - like two different species really.

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant. I bet he starched his undies!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Love it. Fruits of the fucking forest indeed!

*snorfle*

That was my thought too - Ryan in starched boxer shorts *g*

*resists the temptation to develop the theme of 'stiff' any further*

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Rofl. Fantastic.

[cordeliadelayne]

Lol! Excellent use of the prompt!

[fififolle]

Absolutely *g*
Thanks for reading!

[fififolle]

Too right *g* Perfect icon for it *g*
Thanks for reading!

[fififolle]

Aha! Yes, or maybe Ryan doesn't touch Nick much for fear of giving himself away *g*
Thanks for reading!

[fififolle]

Hee Thanks *g*

[fififolle]

Starch? Can you imagine? *g*
Thanks for reading :D
See my restraint at making it Ryan/Connor? :)

[fififolle]

Mmmm, starched undies *g*
How did you guess? *g*
Ironed and strarched... :D and very, very, stiff.
Thanks for reading!

[fififolle]

LOL! Thanks!
With small kids I never buy the stuff, but it makes me laugh if I see a bottle with thise daft names *g*

[fififolle]

Cheers!

[fififolle]

Hee. Thanks! :D

Restraint is over-rated. You should write lots of Connor/Ryan whenever you feel the need to, and then I get to *read* my favourite pairing, as well as writing it.

Ulterior motive? Moi?

*utterly fails to look innocent*

[fififolle]

*sigh* I know. We both need to write lots more Connor/Ryan. I do want to. I started my front door key fic, but it's slow going. Got a Connor/Ryan prompt to give me? *g*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... prompt, you say. How about Ryan's reaction as Connor's books/dvds slowly start migrating over to Ryan's flat as they spend more time together?

[fififolle]

Mmmm, you bet! Thanks :)

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

*mini-squee*

*waits (im)patiently for C/R fic*

*tries to think of more plot bunnies to give you*

[purplecat]

I've just been forced to buy Rainforest Flowers shampoo. Lord alone knows what I'll smell like tomorrow :-)

[fififolle]

*giggle* I bet Ryan would have something to say if you turned up in the team after using it *g*

[fififolle]

Yes, please do :) Prompts work for me :) *keeps writing*

[fififolle]

Ta da! http://fififolle.livejournal.com/63891.html

:D

Oh, and see you in October! ;)

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! Does that mean you're coming to the museum weekend as well? Squee! And double yey for fic at short notice from prompt.

[fififolle]

Yes! Unless my boss denies my leave request *quakes* I get to go on the sleeper first time ever *g*
Some prompts just burn fic out *g*

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed for your boss being nice. I managed to book that entire week off, but to be fair that'll be the first full week off I've had since January this year.

[fififolle]

Good grief! I bet you'll need a holiday then *hug*
I can't wait! :)

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

I certainly need a holiday soon, the whole of August has been hell at work. I managed to get three days off in the middle of September, but not a full week. Even so, I'm looking forward to those three days a ridiculous amount right now.

Squee! I can't wait until October either.
