A/N: My prompt was "lightning". The title is from the Paul Simon song "Hearts and Bones". Thanks to honeyandvinegar and aliensouldream for putting this together!

Love Like Lightning

Casey's never minded thunderstorms. People he might get scared of sometimes, but nature's on his side. Water's cool and cleansing on his face, and lightning reveals the nightscape with the beautiful clarity of a camera flash.

He doesn't mind them tonight either. The hard rain keeps the kids away and leaves him alone with Zeke and the chocolate. They turn out the porch light, undress in the dark, and in bright instants Casey flashes on – a plane of torso a – dark thatch of hair – tongue licking lips Zeke's – long arms reaching out. To touch him.

They roll with the thunder.

God, what great images! Very well written and I love the fact that the rain is allowing Casey to have Zeke AND all the chocolate all to himself! Great last sentence.

Whee, thank you!

(I'm at my parents' place now and the kids who just came to the door said, "We're voting for Obama too," 'cause they saw the lawn sign. So cute!)

This is incredibly beautiful and erotic. Such marvelous images. Water's cool and cleansing on his face, and lightning reveals the nightscape with the beautiful clarity of a camera flash. This is just my favorite of so many lovely ones.

Thank you very much, Mews! I hadn't done any drabbles in a while and I really enjoyed doing this. :)

oooh, this was awesome! Such sensual details! I could so totally picture that. Naw, I wish it was storming here tonight!

[sophinisba]

Thank you! (My parents and I decided to keep all the Reece's Peanut Butter Cups to ourselves anyway and only gave out the ones we don't like as much.)

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

hee. We have some Reece's Peanut Butter Cup, too. Will probably save some for another time...

[sophinisba]

I had another one yesterday. Yum!!

That last line is GENIUS :)

[sophinisba]

Thank you! The Paul Simon song says "Love like lightning, shaking 'til it moans." I have always loved that omg.

Oh, wow, this just carried me away.

And that last line is just perfect!

[sophinisba]

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it.

Woah! Very sexy. I love the idea of Casey seeing 'flashes' of Zeke with the lightning strikes. Dramatic and beautiful.

[sophinisba]

Thank you! I hadn't tried to write sexy in a while and I'm happy this worked for you. :)

Sophi, that's a beautiful image you've given us there, Casey and Zeke seen during the flashes of lightning ...

[sophinisba]

Thank you, Layne! It felt good to write Casey and Zeke again.

This is downright stunning. It makes me ask, why the hell aren't you writing C/Z at a constant, rapid rate? The imagery is sublime. *sighs*

[sophinisba]

Thank you, sweetie, this makes me feel really good. I don't get a lot done without deadlines, it seems, so I'm lucky that you keep putting on challenges like this. :D
