Summary:
Jesse makes a living out of writing trashy romance novels, but a bad break up gives him the worst writer's block. He finds inspiration in Gabriel's coffee shop. Or maybe just in Gabriel, really.

Excerpt:

Jesse felt like he could spin a thousand stories just looking at Gabriel; with those wide shoulders he could've been a superhero, or a soldier, or maybe a firefighter, but he also had careful hands like a surgeon or a florist, and the passionate, kind tone of a teacher. He could've based a thousand characters on him, and God knew Jesse needed all the help he could get, stuck as he was with his writing. Well, that was his excuse, anyway.

Summary:
A sparring session between Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison ends up taking care of their pent up tensions in more senses than one.

Excerpt:

They managed to take each other down a couple times each; as the fight dragged on, the energy between them started changing. They weren't trying to land as many punches as humanly possible anymore; they read each other movements, leaning into them, keeping the flow going, like a conversation, like a dance. From angry to hungry.

Excerpt:

Kikuhiko takes a drag from his cigarette, blows the smoke almost in his face and smiles; he looks so different from that unsecure kid crying in the bath Sukeroku met so long ago. Older.

Summary:
Arthur gets married to someone who isn't in the industry. He thinks he's gonna be happy, but he didn't consider how much he would miss dreaming. He asks Eames for help, and then it becomes something else.

Excerpt:

PASIV compounds aren’t addictive; dreaming is. Arthur shakes through the whole thing, stuttering and apologizing, as Eames hook them both to the machine, speaking reassuring, soft words like to a spooked horse. Five minutes, and then five more, and then fifteen; Eames watches Arthur build and destroy and rebuild and manipulate the reality of the dream, laughing like a kid.

Family is a concept unfamiliar to Genji. He eventually learns what it means, and he wants Hanzo to have the same thing he has.

Excerpt:

Genji cleans and meditates and cooks for himself. He wonders about these omnics who were born without mothers, without fathers, without siblings. They formed their own families, unashamed of their need of being together.

Excerpt:

Control has always been his job; to create choices where none were available, to keep his sleeves full of aces when they were dealt a bad hand, to capture pieces when the enemy started crawling too close across the board— Gabriel was always meant to be the Queen of this game of chess.

The Chronicles of Minthe è un open verse da fan per i fan che prende spunto dai GdR testuali e dai survival blog, aperto a tutti gli iscritti a FiumiDiParole 2013.

Questa iniziativa di FiumiDiParole era fichissima e mi sono sempre pentita di non aver avuto il tempo di lavorarci di più. Il mio personaggio era un aedo che in teoria doveva occuparsi di raccontare le Cronache in forma poetica, ma non sono mai andata oltre il proemio. Le mie conoscenze di composizione poetica all'epoca (e anche adesso tbh) erano praticamente nulle, ma questa robetta mi piace ancora. Per cui beccatevi il proemio di Ta Dheenshe Naanthe, ossia 'Le Cronache del Presente' in lingua Suthi.

Un giorno terminerò il conlang della lingua Suthi, ma non è questo il giorno

Original post: Giorno 28 - Phoeh

Jesse steps out of the training range and immediately regrets it; the air is cold and biting and not even the serape wrapped around his neck can keep the chill out. He rubs his gloved hands together and he looks around, squinting at the glare of the snow. It’s a beautiful day, the mountains are covered in snow and the sky is blue, but it doesn’t mean anything out here; it’s always winter at watchpoint: Bern.

He spots Genji perched at the very edge of the farthest platform and swears under his breath; he’s always telling him that cowboys can’t fly or jump or climb or whatever it is that ninja like him do, but he suspects that Genji enjoys giving him grief. He starts walking, gritting his teeth against the cutting wind; by the time he reaches the ninja, Jesse can’t feel his fucking face.

Quanto mi manca Londra. Da loro c'è proprio un modo diverso di vivere la realtà del pub; quando uscivo a bere il venerdì sera, sapevo di potermi sedere al bancone, ordinare una pinta e passare una serata tranquilla a origliare le conversazioni mezze biascicate degli altri avventori. Qui a Milano è tutto diverso, c'è casino e basta- ma è pur sempre venerdì; mi è sempre piaciuta la birra, più del vino e dei superalcolici. E' proprio una cosa che mi rilassa, farmi una birra al pub il venerdì sera. Non riesco a farne a meno.

Mando un messaggio a Gio, le chiedo se è libera stasera, ma ci mette troppo a rispondere. Decido di uscire da sola.

Vado in uno dei locali preferiti di Gio, in caso decida di raggiungermi più tardi; la tavernetta è piena zeppa, c'è qualche tipo di evento in corso. La musica è troppo alta, non riesco a godermi l'atmosfera. Gio non mi caga. Finisco la birra in pochi sorsi ed esco dal locale, la voglia di una sigaretta mi fa prudere le dita.

C'è un gruppo di ragazzi che fuma appena fuori dalle porte - un po' in mezzo alle palle a dir la verità. Chiedo se hanno da accendere. Uno dei ragazzi della compagnia mi sorride e mi offre il suo accendino mentre quasi contemporaneamente la ragazza appesa al suo braccio mi strappa la faccia a parole. Faccio segno di lasciar stare, prima di scatenare risse, e mi allontano di malumore.

Alla faccia del rilassarmi. Dovevo starmene a casa.

600 con calma

Domenica mattina. La cucina è deserta. Lucio mette su il caffè, e pensa a Claudio.

Claudio è uno che la domenica mattina si alza presto per lavorare. Lucio lo trovava sempre in cucina a disegnare furiosamente, una dozzina di storyboard sparsi sul tavolo davanti a lui, una tazza di caffè ormai freddo all’altezza del gomito sinistro. Immancabilmente nudo come il giorno che era nato, ma coi calzini.

Da quando è partito per quel lavoro in Canada sei mesi fa si sono sentiti tutti i giorni su Skype, ma la domenica non è la stessa senza di lui. Lucio si versa il caffè, e conta i giorni che mancano al suo ritorno.

1200 di fretta

Vacca miseria se Claudio non si sa organizzare.

In teoria è forse da un mese che sa che questa settimana sarebbe stata un delirio di cose da fare, ma in pratica si era segnato tutto senza preoccuparsi davvero di quando avrebbe avuto tempo di farle, e stamattina apre la pagina dell’agenda su lunedì e per poco non gli viene un infarto: per mercoledì deve consegnare una tavola che non ha ancora neanche iniziato ad abbozzare, martedì deve chiamare una certa Carolyne riguardo a uno storyboard, ha una riunione alle dieci e l’appuntamento per far sverminare il gatto alle quindici mercoledì e di mercoledì alle diciotto deve pure andare a prendere Lucio all’aeroporto, perché quando mai le cose non succedono tutte insieme. Tutto questo senza contare che a un certo punto dovrebbe anche rassettare casa, fare la lavatrice e la spesa, prima di mercoledì, preferibilmente.

Sono in questi momenti che si pente di essere partito per il Canada. Gli mancano i giorni in cui si alzava e trovava il carico di bucato già fatto perché Lucio si era stufato di vedere roba che straripava dal cesto della biancheria sporca, ma purtroppo Lucio era ad un oceano di distanza.

Non gli rimane altro che affrontare la to do list un punto alla volta. La deadline pende sulla sua testa come la spada di Damocle; Claudio si siede e disegna.

Un’estate di quattro anni fa, il vecchio lettore CD della macchina di Margherita aveva ingoiato l’album preferito dei Depeche Mode di Claudio e non l’aveva mai più sputato. Per due lunghe ore era stato l’unico compagno di viaggio di Margherita, insieme al rumore del vento che entrava dai finestrini e della borsa frigo che sbatteva contro la portiera ogni volta che svoltava a destra.

Claudio se n’era andato, ma l’album era rimasto.

Faceva un caldo maledetto. Non c’era nessuno in giro. Le strade polverose costeggiavano campi tutti uguali, ma Margherita sapeva dove doveva andare. Non ci era mai andata apposta per lo spiazzo; era un po’ lontano per una semplice gita fuori porta. Di solito lei e Claudio si fermavano lì per pranzare di ritorno dal mare; un ultimo picnic sotto il solito albero prima di tornare alla loro solita vita.

Claudio se n’era andato, ma lo spiazzo era rimasto.

Fermò la macchina sul ciglio della strada. Afferrò il pacchetto di sigarette dal sedile del passeggero e la borsa frigo e chiuse la portiera con un tonfo. Margherita si appoggiò all’albero divelto, guardò le radici ricoperte di terriccio, e si accese una sigaretta.

Claudio se n’era andato, ma era rimasta lei.

Se chiudeva gli occhi e ascoltava il rumore dell’acqua che scorreva davanti a lui, Ilya poteva fingere di essere ancora sulla Mojka; ma il caldo di Parigi e la Senna non gli permettevano di crogiolarsi in quell’illusione. Accettò senza una parola il bicchiere con il coperchio di plastica che Svetka gli aveva allungato. Il primo sorso di tè gli bruciò la lingua; anche attraverso il dolore, riuscì a sentire che non aveva il sapore giusto.

La pianta di mamma, quella nel vaso di fianco alla rimessa, era diventata tutt’uno col suolo sottostante. Terriccio e radici avevano cominciato a straripare oltre il bordo di coccio, e una sottile linea verdastra di muschio tracciava le crepe lungo i lati. Margherita aveva cercato di spostarla, a un certo punto, ma ci era riuscita solo rassegnandosi a strappare i viticci che erano fuoriusciti dai buchi del fondo e si erano conficcati nel terreno alla ricerca di spazio e nutrimento.

Inginocchiata su un tappeto di erbacce, mentre il sole di un autunno troppo caldo le cuoceva la nuca, Margherita aveva deciso di scavare una nuova dimora per la pianta sfrattata, tra due arbusti odorosi in fondo al giardino dietro casa. Ma il manico della paletta continuava a scivolarle tra le dita, ostacolate dalla guaina di gomma, e alcune ciocche ribelli, sfuggite alla treccia che le pesava sulla spalla, le si incollavano alla faccia e le finivano negli occhi. Con un sospiro, Margherita si tolse i guanti, e li mise da parte, arricciò il naso alla sensazione umidiccia del sudore sulle mani, e ricominciò a scavare.

Summary:
Hanzo has been falling for McCree, but he isn't sure about the cowboy's feelings on the matter.

Excerpt:

“Are we dating?” Hanzo interrupts him with sudden clarity, and he’s glad that it comes out slightly flat and confused, because he would rather die than sound frightened and panicky as he’s feeling now. He spent all that time wondering if McCree was even interested in the first place but maybe, maybe they were already past that.

Summary:
Jesse McCree is a model, Genji is a makeup artist and photographer who picked him as his muse for his new collection of lipsticks.

Excerpt:

Jesse chuckled when those ridiculous pics started showing up on the screen. He agreed though, they were fun and eye-catching. The red pop of lipstick was still a shock every time he saw it, but there was something really nice about it. It made the pictures interesting, even though they were just different takes of his face. Also, for some reason how he looked in it was really starting to grow on him. “I can’t wait to see a six feet tall picture of me going cross eyed in the middle of Time Square. That oughta stop someone in their tracks.”
