Strayman!Nine/Rose Fic.
Doggerel Style by fannishliss (rec’d to me by the lovely artemiskore)
Basically Nine uses the Chameleon Arch and his human self is essentially Strayman. AND IT’S ONE OF THE BEST SMUT FICS W/CHARACTERIZATION I’VE SEEN.
Decision to post inspired by:
Strayman approves
Unf. One of the best uses of the Chameleon Arc that I’ve ever read.
“Hazel is wrong about infinite cardinality, but she is right that some infinities are larger than others. I wanted her to be wrong but right because that’s how we muddle through life as observers of the universe. Forging meaning where we can find it, from fact and fiction alike. And as my brain drowned in jet leg, I thought of the months I lived here. So much of that time I was sick and crippled with anxiety, but all I could think about now, as the night fell, was how much you can love made up people. And how much you can miss them.”

So guys. There are plenty of geeky girls who enjoy all the stuff you do, and if you stop treating us like a rare species that you want to poke and prod and patronisingly teach to walk and talk, then you might just meet one.
If, however, you need to feel superior to someone. Stop complaining that you can’t get a girlfriend who understands you.

Poetry is concerned with using and abusing, with losing with wanting, with denying with avoiding with adoring with replacing the noun. It is doing that always doing that, doing that and doing nothing but that. Poetry is doing nothing but losing refusing and pleasing and betraying and caressing nouns. That is what poetry does, that is what poetry has to do no matter what kind of poetry it is. And there are a great many kinds of poetry.
When I said.
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.
And then later made that into a ring I made poetry and what did I do I caressed completely caressed and addressed a noun.

“I love being in cities with lots of other people, because I’m reminded that there are billions of people like me, and we are each stuck inside of our minds, feverishly trying to crawl out to make connections with other people.”
—John Green (via shotgunblogger)
“Sometimes, I think the purpose of life is to convert energy into beauty. And I know that that’s not true, I know that that’s not rationally true, but some days, it’s okay for things to not be rationally true.”

Albert Goldbarth, "The Sciences Sing a Lullabye"
Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you’re tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be
one body. You aren’t alone. Go to sleep.
Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town
and
History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down.
