Random scene out of nowhere I’m tired tonight and was dozing lightly on the couch. Eventually I had to get up to kiss the girls goodnight. As I sat up a single scene flashed into my head. I don’t know where it came from or what it means, but I wrote it down anyway. I hope you enjoy whatever it is. He held his breath as long as he possibly could, but eventually he had to shoot for the surface, strong arms climbing up the water column, shoulders aching and lungs straining. Busting into the air, Virgil gulped in enough oxygen to stabilise his system, the chill of the surface breeze goosepimpling his arms. He dipped and rose with the slight swell for a moment, bare legs kicking, the bright sunlight driving him to squint. There was water in his ears. A few strong breaths and he dove once more. He was naked with the exception of his tight swim trunks, IR emblazoned on his hip, and he could feel it as he dove deeper, the cold of the ocean seeping into his bones. He returned to Gordon, floating in the flickering turquoise sunlight. His brother lay drifting, all ten […]

Gentle Rain – Chapter 9 – Gumnut – Thunderbirds [Archive of Our Own] For the full version of this chapter, please see above. Please note the rating. For an abridged version, with the usual Teen rating, please see below (and read the author notes) Title: Gentle Rain Warm Rain Series Part Nine (abridged) Author: Gumnut 28 – 30 Jan 2019 Fandom: Thunderbirds Are Go 2015/ Thunderbirds TOS Rating: Teen Summary: Sometimes it is so gentle, you don’t realise it is happening. Word count: 1529 (abridged version) Spoilers & warnings: Virgil/Kayo, Scott/OC, spoilers for Warm Rain up to this point in the timeline. Timeline: Six months after ‘The Proposal’, almost a sequel. Author’s note: For @scribbles97 There are two versions of this chapter. In the first scene a character decided he wanted to up the rating, so I have archived the full chapter on Ao3 and nowhere else. All other versions have the first scene removed. Personally, I would recommend reading the full version, as there is a great deal of emotional content in that scene, however for those who are not of the age for that rating or prefer not to read such content, please see this version. Again many thanks […]
writingprompts365: -what triggered it? -how do both characters respond? Hmmm, I like this one…how far do you need to push Virg before this happens? Oh, I’ve already done that on a more serious note in The Price…which needs to be finished, but oh so traumatic… Anyway, hmm…Gordy, how many buttons does it take, and will you survive? 😀
Gentle Rain story status My four day weekend is gone ::wails:: Now I have six days of work straight, so my writing will slow ::pouts:: Part Nine is half written. Virgil took me on a detour and derailed my ability to finish it last night ::glares at him:: Many, many thanks to @scribbles97 for some serious in depth help on that one. I need to write some scenes where some more visitors arrive at the island, hopefully I will be able to do that tonight. In the meantime, thank you for all your wonderful support on this story. I’ve been drowning in this 20,000 word monstrosity which is still only around half written and is likely to turn into my longest TB fic to date…if I can ever find the end of it. So much for a little prompt fic ::rolls eyes and throws marshmallows at @scribbles97 :: In three and a half weeks I have three weeks leave coming up 😀 Mostly to paint, but there will be some writing in there, I promise. I hope you are all having good ones ::hugs:: Nutty (Who should eat breakfast and stop typing)
the-lady-razorsharp: givethispromptatry: Your character has just escaped from his captors and is running through a swamp. He grasps his wounded, bleeding side and trudges on through the swamp. He grows weary from running, weak from hunger, and is dizzy from blood loss. Heart beating faster, he plods through the muck using whatever strength he has, but the loos of blood was making him wobbly. He knew that he couldn’t go on for much longer but he had to try to put as much distance as he could between him and his captors. He trudges on, growing weaker and weaker. Finally, before his legs could give out, he leans back on a large bald cypress tree and slumps down into the thick mud. Anxiously, he glances around, looking for any sign of his captors and, for once, in a very long time, breathes a jagged sigh of relief. He lays there, chest deep in thick mud, thoughts racing madly; his heart beats rapidly in his chest. Night time falls. The character’s head explodes in a very painful headache. His ears ring loudly with a white noise. The character shifts uncomfortably in the cold thick mud, trying to keep himself upright. The […]

Author’s note: For @scribbles97 Many thanks to both @scribbles97 and @the-lady-razorsharp for their assistance on this chapter. This fic is different to anything I have ever written and it is teaching me much. Thank you for sharing this journey with me and for all your wonderful support. Disclaimer: Mine? You’ve got to be kidding. Money? Don’t have any, don’t bother. -o-o-o- He didn’t let go. He kept her hand warm in his through the entire tour of the huge villa the Tracy family lived in. She didn’t comment, simply enjoying his touch. She listened as he explained how the Island had become their home, how his father had a vision and the money and passion to see it all to reality. He […]

Don’t have any, don’t bother. -o-o-o- Virgil could never be anything but awed at the power of Mother Nature. The massive swirl of cloud beneath them was one hell of a spectacle. Of course, it wasn’t his first cyclone or hurricane, he had tackled many over the years, but each one had its own character. And this one was big and angry. “We’re looking at a category four, verging on five.” John hovered above the dash, sitting rather than his usual float due to his being earthbound. “Be careful.” A frown. “And incidentally, your brother is an idiot.” “Hey!” […]
Take A Deep Breath – Chapter 4 – chidoriXblossom – Thunderbirds [Archive of Our Own] i-am-chidorixblossom: Finally got this chapter done. It kicked my butt a bit. Couldn’t keep staring at it any longer lol so here it is. Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed so far. It means a lot 🙂 Yay!!! It’s up. I’m going to read as soon as I can (currently caught up with family duties). Excitement!!!!! Nutty (Goodie!)
Heart thudding Writing can be so damn intense. Maybe it is my mood, but hell, writing a dramatic action scene that leaves the protagonist trembling can leave me in the same condition. And now I have to switch to romance? ::Nutty flails:: Okay, calm down, deep breaths. Oooooooohm! Nutty (yeah, it’s Virg with the trembling hands, I’m predictable)
rembrandtswife: mcgregorswench: beardedchrisevans: ‘Superpower Dogs’: See heroic pups saving lives in a new IMAX trailer.Chris Evans narrates “Superpower Dogs,” a new IMAX film spotlighting heroic pooches around the world. You just know that when he was asked to do this, he said, “WHAT? I’ll pay YOU to let me do this!” OMIGOD this could be Bo!

Author’s note: For @scribbles97 I had so much fun with this one sitting on my back porch on a gorgeous sunny day. Many thanks to both Scribbs and @the-lady-razorsharp for help on this bit. Also for @vegetacide for some plotwork we did for further into the story. Next chapter is half written and I’m still having fun 😀 I hope you enjoy this fic that has a mind of its own. Disclaimer: Mine? You’ve got to be kidding. Money? Don’t have any, don’t bother. -o-o-o- It was like some kind of daydream caught in a whirlwind. The week had passed with medical consultations and chats with Scott over the network. His eyes lit up when he smartly inquired about Kayo asking her to Tracy Island. “So […]
My current and immediate goal I am going to go sit on my back porch. It is 26C out there and I am going to set myself up with my earphones and write. It is soooo ‘Nutty does whatever the hell she wants’ day. Nutty (Still in my pyjamas, yeeeeah!)
Aboard Tracy Two in transit to Tracy Island “It is awfully quiet in here. Should I be worried? You two aren’t plotting a mutiny or anything, I hope.” Kayo smiled up at Virgil as he entered the cabin. “No need for a mutiny, love. I have plenty of other ways to get what I want.” Virgil didn’t quite roll his eyes, walking past to grab a drink from the fridge. “Can I get you anything?” He waved a bottle of water in their general direction. “No, thank you.” They chorused together. Virgil looked back over his shoulder. “Do you have any idea how creepy that sounds?” Em bit her lip, but couldn’t help parroting the sweet innocent smile Kayo sent her fiancé’s way. His gaze darted back and forth between them, more alarmed by the moment. “Okay, I’ll just be upfront piloting the plane. Don’t summon the devil by accident.” And he stepped smartly back into the cockpit. Em turned to Kayo to find the woman fighting back a grin. Em’s lips twisted as their eyes locked. A heartbeat and they both burst out laughing. -o-o-o-
Too tired, too hot to write ::wails:: So have the little bit I did manage 😀 His eyes lit up when he smartly enquired about Kayo asking her to Tracy Island. “So you coming?” Was that expression hopeful? “I’m considering it.” She bit back a grin. Why should she make it easy? His eyes narrowed at her. “What could I offer to entice you?” “Oh, you’d like to entice me, would you, flyboy?” He really did have a beautiful smile. “I think I could.” “Then entice away.” He posed thoughtfully. “Now what would a gorgeous looking young woman like yourself find attractive on a tropical island. Let me think.” He tapped his lips with a finger. She choked on a laugh. “Really?” He held up that finger as if struck by a thought. “Marshmallows. We have the biggest, fluffiest marshmallows in the Southern Hemisphere. Absolutely delicious roasted over a slow fire.” He licked his lips. Her eyes almost fell out of her head. “Scott Tracy, you are a flirt.” “Yes. Yes, I am.” “And brazen about it.” “Do you mind?” That brought her up short. But she didn’t hesitate. “I think I can handle it.” And she was grinning. His […]
