Oh thank you!!  I like adding that part of CC here, I like to think CC was a help to Mason I guess

I do wish, though, I could write things like you suggested heh your ideas are wonderful but my brain just won't let me lol

An old theme it may be, but a beautiful and melancholic variation. It's also  an untold story about CC, a side of his we didn't get to see very often. Love it!

Ahhh I wish I could come up with something like the stuff you suggested!!  But I have no imagination, NONE lol not even a tiny bit so I stay with my regular old theme heh

One where once there were two
What might have been
What could have been
But will never be
Can never be
You and I and us

I watch . . . stare really . . .
Mesmerized by your beauty
You laugh at my father’s joke
Then brush your hair aside lightly
You casually turn your head in my direction
With a glint of mischief in your eye
And smile broadly
As if you know I will react
I turn away, trying to hide my eyes
They reveal too much of me at times
I make an inane comment
For I am incapable of thought in your presence
And dad (being dad) immediately jumps all over it and me
He starts to bicker over my wording
And you shake your head over our rather animated “discussion”

You move to leave
I quickly jump off my chair
And grab your hand
“Tonight,” I whisper
I stare deeply into your eyes
Willing you to remember our very detailed plans
You smile again and nod
I watch as you walk away
Memorizing every step . . .

Dad wakes me up with a shout
I stare up at him from red rimmed eyes
My brain aches and refuses to function
And my body is a mass of molasses
“You were saying her name again, son.
And I was . . . worried.”
And he does look worried, very much so
Sitting on my bed, hand on my shoulder
Eyes filled with concern
Does he fear for my sanity . . . for my health?
I fear a loss of neither right now

I close my eyes
I understand

I hear him get up and walk away
He gently closes the door
It’s as if he were afraid
I’d break were the door loudly closed

I return to my dream
What a sweet escape
To dream of what might have been
What could have been
But will never be
Can never be
You and I and us

Just a a quick reminder to everyone - any submissions are welcome, you are not required to refer to SB or Lane. Although we all share this particular fandom, I'm sure we all have other obsessions interests, too. Share anything that's on your mind!
I've written about Guy of Gisborne in the Robin Hood series, about Eric in True Blood and other characters. I find it kind of cathartic to reply to episodes with my writing. It's always been wonderful to share with people whose friendships date back for so much longer than my current obsessions.
I have two ideas in my head right now (one of them is BBC1's Merlin), so fire away!

I forgot to mention that.  Thanks.  One day, I shall sit down and do a clip marathon starting at 1009...the last one I watched.  I thought retirement would be the time.  Ha!

All fixed

I can't download  fourth clip...

It's not very good really, it looks great in my head but written out it's not captivating or anything lol so don't worry about it

Thanks Amgoth! looking forward to your story or poem. I am sorry I haven't read the previous one yet. I will - maybe later today.

And I want you to participate!  You always create the best material :)

I am near done with something but it's the same gloom and doom as usual lol and I am afraid it's not perfectly aligned with the topic but it's the best I could do I am afraind.  I hope to post it soon though
