Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose

I wasn’t very taken with Friday Night Lights during the first several episodes; it was good television, but I wondered what everyone was raving about. 

But now that I’ve gotten through the season, I have to admit my defeat.  I love this show.

It makes me miss high school football so badly.  I’m not a sports person, by any stretch of the imagination.  I am hopelessly uncoordinated and tiny to boot, so no sport comes easily to me.  And I don’t watch any of them either.  But there’s nothing in the world like a high school football game in a community that really cares about them.  Nothing like spending hours before the game painting shirts and your faces with your friends and then tailgating.  Nothing like the build-up to a game with a rival.  Nothing like the band and the smell of popcorn and all the people screaming their lungs out.  It’s a false feeling of community and union, maybe, but for two hours you really feel like you are absolutely one with the people around you.

Like I said, maybe it’s a shallow, bankrupt American substitute for real community.  But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss it.  And this show just absolutely takes me back there.  Every single episode.

Fic: Carnival

Okay, I've been working on these since  I was halfway through Supernatural.  Definitely my first crossover and the first time a crossover couple really appealed to me.  I had fun with them; I hope you enjoy.

 Drabbles are agonizing for me.  I tend to use far too many words, and I hate having to cull even one--each word I take out physically hurts me.   But the point is to teach you to be pithy and remind you that the most beautiful part of the picture is the frame, so I guess I can't complain.

And oh, yes.  These are stateofsoul's fault.


Title:  Carnival
Author:  Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Pairing/Character:  Veronica Mars/Dean Winchester (Veronica Mars/Supernatural crossover)
Word Count: 1,119
Rating: pg-13
Warnings: none
Spoilers: All seasons of Veronica Mars, both seasons of Supernatural
Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with the owners, creators, or producers of Veronica Mars or Supernatural. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary:  They both know life isn’t sweet, and neither one of them believe in fairy tales.  [Veronica and Dean and chances.]
A/N:This is a series of completely unrelated drabbles, all one hundred words in length—they aren’t meant to tell one coherent story but bits of several, some happier than others. Because I can’t imagine a universe in which Veronica and Dean wouldn’t be drawn to each other.
