Last of the spam... a bit of a 'tease' of my own...

[sunhawk16]

Well, I feel somewhat lame here with my dinky little four posts, but I'm tossing in the towel and headed for bed! Last post is going to be kind of a tease though. ^^;
See, one of these days, when Ion is done, I plan on dishing out a random series of what I've come to think of in my head as 'Ion Vignettes'... kind of modeled after Plaid's BFB ii kibarashi. They'll just be little shorts from different POVs and since one of them actually decided to write itself this week, I thought I would share.
Just a musing from Heero....




He’s getting frustrated. I can see the little hint of a frown beginning to form, and he’s sighed three times in the last five minutes. Something about the picture he’s working on isn’t cooperating. He’ll look up at me soon, and ask me some question. I’ll need to stop watching him before he does. Need to not let him catch me with that look on my face, or he’ll just laugh at me and call me ‘besotted’.

Not that it isn’t completely true, but it will make him forget the picture and we’ll end up doing something else instead. And I don’t want that. He’s close to finishing and I want to be here watching when he does. I don’t often get to witness that moment of ‘done’, but I’ve learned to tell when those moments are close and that frown of frustration is usually the first sign. If he sticks with it… he’ll work through that stumbling point soon and then I’ll get to see that other expression.

It doesn’t last long before it fades into the one that doubts, but for just a minute, his eyes will be full of this glow of… accomplishment. His old confidence will be solid and alive in his expression, a hint of that rebelliousness somehow mixed in there. Like he’s thwarted some evil power by completing the piece. That little, secret smile of satisfaction will be there and…

He will be beautiful. And whole…

He sighs again, a little more heavily and I look down at the book in my lap, feigning absorption in text I haven’t paid any attention to in over an hour.

‘Heero,’ he asks absently. ‘why the hell do goldfish have eyes that look like marbles? Doesn’t it seem kind of… not very safety conscious?’

‘A design flaw?’ I quip, keeping my focus on my book, making sure he thinks I’m not at all ready to turn in for the night. He snorts in reply and then stretches his arms wide, making his back pop.

‘I’m gonna get a soda, do you want anything?’ he asks before standing to go to the kitchen.

‘No thanks,’ I reply. ‘I’m good.’

I turn a page while he’s gone, not caring if it’s forward or backward, and smile to myself in anticipation.

It won’t be long now…

*squeals loudly and copies to new file* Yea! Ion vignette! Any Ion is good Ion! Have a nice night!

[merith.livejournal.com]

oh sunny! you are such a tease. :)

and i do so know the temptation of giving voice to others... letting them tell just a little bit of their side.

this is great! i love hearing heero's voice here, and how he sees duo in that moment. it would be hard to reconcile himself to seeing the complete duo at and only for that moment, then to find him not in the next. of course, being there for duo is what ion heero lives for, so maybe it's not so hard?

lovely regardless. ♥

[merula31]

Oh, you and Plaid are horrible with these teases!!

This is lovely- *sighs happily*

[pellsfan.livejournal.com]

The idea of Heero's POV in Ion is marvelous. Actually 'anyone's' POV is great if it means a continuation of this wonderful world. Thanks and sweet dreams.

[nitelyfe.livejournal.com]

TEASE! *shakes* More Ion!!! XD

[klingonpoo.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful and a great idea! I like seeing Heero's POV. I look forward to more of these after you finish the series. Thanks Sunhawk! *hugs*

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

I like! And I'm rereading Ion yet again, so the timing is perfect. XD

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, Ion. A little bit, but a little is better than none. Just perfect. I get the same feeling myself. A well written chapter that I know has jelled right. Soo good. Thanks.

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Ah, I knew it! All this talk of 'done with Ion soon,' pshaw! You will NEVER BE DONE WITH ION, BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Ahem. Lovely peek into Heero's brain, m'dear. Thank you!

[starr_falling]

Ooooh, nice. ^_^ Ion Heero needs more time out to play me thinks!

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

And Ion Trowa and Quatre and Wufei and Sally and Relena and... heh... maybe even Zechs. *snork!*

[kiria-dk.livejournal.com]

You made me squeak when I saw this! Honest-to-god squeak! It was a squeak of absolute glee, I assure you. This was lovely. Besotted, indeed. *rolls in the Ion-ness*

BTW, I friended you a while back and I think I forgot to tell you.

[cool-tre-cool.livejournal.com]

*SQUEE*

Omg omg omg! ION!!! *hibble*

Oh, this is just so beatiful! And I always wanted to know how exactly Heero experiences certain situations. :D

Feel free to post another one whenever it decides to write itself! ;)

[riceball05.livejournal.com]

YAY! ION! It's not ION Ion but it's still something! Heero is so cute. I can't wait for more Ion Arc though. *hint hint wink wink*

[soriano76.livejournal.com]

Well any Ion is a good Ion, but I would like something a little more chapter like. Kisses.

[vhenkels.livejournal.com]

Ah, more Ion! Yay!! :-) Very nice scene though... you can feel how Heero loves Duo. Very nicely done. :-)

*taps fingers*

[yen420.livejournal.com]

Okay, this'll do. For the moment!!!! *looks meaningfully at you* But, *sighs* honestly, I'll take what I can get and this, with, finally, hearing Heero's thoughts in Ion, even though short... *saves it in ION folder*. Yeah.. See what you reduced me too *sniffs*.. Care to share anymore vignettes? Don't care if it's short. Just wanna see what Heero and Duo's doing right now. How about Feifei's? Sally once said Wufei envied Duo's talent but 'how' envious is he really? And oh, anymore Duo pictures from Wufei? You know, to add to Heero's collection ^______^

Kracken says to give you tea, biscuit, and a nice cozy place to sit so you could finish Ion since poking aint doing the trick no more >_>

[kracken.livejournal.com]

*Jumps up down and has Jon look at me like I'm nuts*

You know, Jon could take a hint from this ficlet. He's always leaning over, at bad times, and being critical, like... 'Did you want that to be that color, or did you think that color was some other color... because it's not." :P

[kracken.livejournal.com]

So, do I call these IV's ? *laughs*

[rochan01.livejournal.com]

:-)
Nice to see a little of the Ion world from a different POV. I like that Heero's secretly observing and supporting while being all casual on the outside.

[skylark92.livejournal.com]

SSQQUUUEEAAALLLL!!! THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT SURPRISE!!! *MASSIVETACKLEGLOMPS* I LOVE YOUR POV WORK!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT!! LOVE YA!

[waterlilylf.livejournal.com]

Oh, I LOVE this...absolutely love it. So nice to have a little peek into Heero's thoughts. Soooo besotted and trying so hard to hide it, and recognising Duo's need to get his picture finished.

Thank you so much.

[eg06.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEE!!! *flails* holy hell, it's ION!! XD and in Heero's POV?! that's a new one, definitely a new perpsective on Duo that we haven't seen in this Arc yet... I can't wait for more!

[tkmaxwell777.livejournal.com]

*squee* MORE ION! *does happy MORE ION dance* What a nice little viggy to help with us be able to wait more patiently for more of the main story. *huggles* That was really cool. I love how Heero just KNOWS Duo so well. *sighs* So romantic. Of course, Hubby's response was, "Why couldn't he be drawing a picture of a puppy... or an alligator snapping turtle?" *rolls eyes* Yeah, rather one-track minded isn't he? *lol* Thanks for sharing such a nice tidbit! Take all the time you need for Ion... it will be worth it when we read it (quit rolling your eyes at me and panicking! it WILL be just right... all of your writing is!) Now I shall retire so I can drag myself out of bed for work tomorrow then do some more packing once I get home... how could it have been so EASY for Heero and Duo to move in Ion?!? *glares* Oh well, two young men in good shape probably wouldn't have the same problems as a 35 year old woman and a 40 year old man *snerk* It's all about age, Dar~ling!

TK & Hubby (who are both just EXHAUSTED but still can't wait to move!)
