Fic: Freier Fall: Thirst for the Water
Jun. 19th, 2014 08:25 pmFandom: Freier Fall
Title: Thirst for the Water
Author: raynedanser
Pairing: Marc Borgmann/Kay Engel
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~ 800
Summary: I recently watched Freier Fall. It grabbed me tightly and now it won't let go. The movie's ending left so many possibilities, I just had to play! There may be more, you never know. Then again, I never know either. :P
The title is inspired by the Fuel song Running Away.
* * * * *
Everyday you're on my mind
Pain is feeling passing time
But if she found out about you she would die
And if I have to live without you so would I
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now
So I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you( Read more... )

Will was playing Scrabble with Marlena when his phone chirped, letting him know that he had a text message. He slid the phone away without checking it, then went back to studying his tiles.
“Are you going to get that?” Marlena asked.
“In a bit. We're playing a game.”
Marlena chuckled. “Will, it's one of your friends. Check your phone.”
“Ok, ok,” he answered as he slid the phone back and picked it up.

"Dr. Zond!" Calvin shouted. He'd run the whole way back from the club and had to pause to catch his breath. "Dr. Zond!" he tried again, this time banging the door with his fist.
The door in front of Calvin opened just moments before the door behind him. Doctor Solomon Zond stood in front of him, cotton lounge pants hung low on his hips as he tugged a navy blue tee shirt over his head. "Calvin? What's going on?"
Calvin looked from Nikko's father in front of him, to Vincent behind him, and back again. "It's Nikko."( Read more... )

Calvin leaned onto the counter, grabbed the beer that slid to him. He scowled and slapped at Nikko’s hand when he reached out for the beer. “I don’t think so,” Calvin commented.
It was an off night. No pressing research that needed to be done right away, no traveling. They were free to relax and do what they wanted for a few hours. They’d started out watching movies and eating take out, but Nikko was fidgety and about to drive Calvin nuts. Since Solomon’s room was right next to theirs, they decided to go somewhere to burn off steam. As they’d gone by the hotel door, Nikko had knocked on it, yelled something about “going out!” and they’d arrived here.( Read more... )

As birthdays went, it wasn't much different than many others. A warm day spent at the beach with family, good friends, good food and the people he loved most. However, this one was special. This one would be the first birthday since he and Shaun had gotten together. Zach smiled and opened the back of his Jimmy, hefted a cooler and began the walk down the path to the beach.
Half way down, Gabe took the cooler from him. “Beer? I'll carry that,” Gabe informed him.
Zach smiled and surrendered the cooler. Little did Gabe know, the cooler with the beer was already at the beach with Shaun and Cody.
“So, what did my brother get you?” Gabe asked, leaning in conspiratorially.
Zach shook his head. “Nothing.”( Read more... )

Danny sat on a stone bench under a palm tree and watched the funeral proceedings from a distance. Danny had suggested, and Chin had agreed, that the graveside service should be kept to immediate family and 5-O only. This way, if Wo Fat or any of his men decided to drop in, it would be easier to spot them than if there had been a large crowd to monitor. Chin was there, as was Jenna, both looking spiffy with Chin proudly wearing his uniform and Jenna in a smart pant suit. Kono had been released on bail and stood somberly to Chin's left, but Steve, accused of killing the governor and being a one man deadly weapon, was still in lock up.
As funerals go, it was a nice one, Danny supposed. Prayers were said at appropriate times, the right people sniffled and wiped at their eyes. A reception would be held later and would be filled with many of the local politicians. Danny imagined that it would be less reserved at the reception. ( Read more... )

synecdochic: LiveJournal’s DDoS and Russian Politics
This is an excellent round up of the problems that have plagued LJ of late, which are, in turn an interesting insight into the implications of running something that truly is a global service. The short version: if you are an English language user who is tempted to complain about LJ's recent down time, you should probably shut the fuck up before you embarrass the rest of us. And if you are an English language user who isn't actually *paying* for the service, and you're tempted to complain, please make do so a long, long way away from me, because I'd hate to have to beat you with something heavy.
As annoying as the downtime has been, it has served to bring to light the "other half" of LJ's user base in Russia, and to explain the importance of the journal platform to freedom of speech in that country. Enough so there are those who would see that platform go down. It really makes you think about the difference perspective makes. For us, LJ is a place we keep up with our friends, do memes, roleplay, write. For Russia, it's the place where people get a chance to know the truth of what's going on in the country and for ordinary people to have a voice.
Certainly something to think about, any way.

DDoS Attacks/ Boosting the Signal
Apr. 7th, 2011 01:43 pmOriginally posted by clari_clyde at post
clari_clyde at postI’ve been wondering what’s up with all the DDoS attacks LJ has been receiving lately. Signal boosting ingridmatthews:
Just in case anyone thinks LJ's downtime is just TPTB being incompetant, read this:
LiveJournal, Russia's blogging platform of choice, is sustaining biggest cyberattack attack in its history. Bloggers say the Kremlin wants to crack down on political discussion.
"LiveJournal, Russia’s most popular blogging platform, has been under a massive DDoS attack for the past few days. The attack has effectively wiped out Russia’s main refuge for unbridled political discussion, a hugely lively and extensive domain frequented by politicians, opposition activists and social commentators alike...
“The reason for attack is more than clear in this case — someone wants LiveJournal to disappear as a platform,” Ilya Dronov, development director at SUP, wrote in a post on his LiveJournal blog earlier this week. He said the hackers were hoping to push bloggers from LJ to social networks where “it's easier to fight individual users.”"

Word Count: ~ 1400
Author's Notes: Part I | Part II | Part III
*****
After dropping John off at the hospital, Ben had driven around the city for hours, thinking over the events from the past year - from fresh out of the academy when he’d first been assigned John as his T.O. to tonight when John had finally, fully let his guard down with him. Until tonight, John had always been so careful to leave that barrier up. Once in a while, there’d been a hint, a lowering of it for just a heartbeat, but as soon as Ben began to realize it, John would snap that wall back up, stronger than ever. It made Ben dizzy trying to keep up with it. When Ben had finally gotten home and fallen into bed, the sun was just beginning its climb into the sky. He hoped he could squeeze in an hour’s nap before being back at the station.
He’d waited for those first few days, riding them out with Sammy and the chip on his shoulder the size of the Golden Gate Bridge, getting home exhausted but too tired to sleep. On Saturday morning, he decided it had been long enough and he grabbed the keys to his car and headed off to the hospital to see John. Before he did, he made a stop at John’s, shaking his head at the poorly hidden spare key and carefully padded through the home to find him some spare clothes.
At the hospital, when Ben had asked at the nurse’s station, he found out that John was still sleeping. At the nurse’s questioning gaze, Ben had explained, “I’m his partner,” before continuing on to John’s room, paper bag clutched tightly in one hand. ( Read more... )

In the end, it had just been easier for Ben and John to step back and let Olivia do the planning for Emily's party, they realized.
When the day finally came, pink helium filled balloons were tied to a post on the porch and pink streamers and confetti were all through the house. Their house overflowed with pink everywhere. They'd be cleaning the house for weeks, but Olivia had had fun planning and throwing everything together.
The back yard was crowded with nearly everyone Ben could think of - Chickie and Sammy with his son Nathan. Even Dewey was there and behaving himself today, much to everyone's relief.( Read more... )

Ben stood with John and watched the little girl as she played in the break room. She looked so lost and alone - which was precisely what she was. Earlier that morning, they'd found her while they'd been out on a call, playing on the floor with her dolls next to her mother's dead body. Her father was long gone and there was no other family to be found. Something twisted inside Ben's gut as he watched her. When the little girl looked up and caught the two of them watching, she smiled brightly and waved, giving Ben an idea. It was either the worst or most brilliant idea ever. He was about to find out which as he turned to face John.
"We can take her," he said suddenly. He stepped close to John so they could talk with some illusion of privacy. Rule number one was keeping their private life out of the station or squad car. This kind of counted as their private life in a big way.
John stared at him as if he'd sprouted another head. "Have you lost your fucking mind, Boo? What kind of life is she going to have with us?" he hissed quietly.( Read more... )

As he'd expected, inside the house was cool and almost silent.
