Can Your OTP Handle A Lazy Sunday Morning?

In honor of the leisurely Sunday I do not have, and will likely never have again, may I present........

The Lazy Sunday OTP Meme: Can Your Pairing Hack It?

What does your OTP do when the world doesn’t need saving and/or there isn’t anyone to kill?

The setting is a lazy Sunday in whatever universe your pairing lives in, and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to describe for us what they do when they have a chance to relax.


Hakkai & Yaone

Hakkai and Yaone wake up late and decide to hike over to that sweet little meadow by the lake. They have a nice picnic lunch by the water, and as the bright sunlight fades to dark gold, Yaone wanders by the water’s edge and into the woods, gathering herbs and plants. Hakkai divides his time between watching her and reading. It’s warm for a spring day, and Yaone decides to go swimming. Hakkai joins her and later, they walk back home while the sky fades from dusky blue to black, with damp hair and flushed cheeks.

Virginia & Wolf

Spend their Sunday painting the nursery; Wolf wants blue for a boy, and Virginia informs him that she’s quite sure she’s having a daughter and they argue about it for forty-five minutes in the hardware store before deciding on a bright, warm yellow, the color of sunlight or melted butter. They make dinner together- well Virginia makes dinner and Wolf steals scraps of meat and peppers from under the blade of her knife (she threatens to chop his fingers) and steals kisses from her cheeks.

Veronica & Weevil

Veronica head up to the Salton Sea to try and shoot a few photographs for a scholarship. Since the LaBaron is in the shop, Weevil offered her a ride on his motorcycle. Veronica won’t admit how much fun she has when Weevil drives fast, and Weevil won’t admit how much he likes it when her grip tightens when he’s driving fast.

Veronica spends the day shooting roll after roll of film while Weevil snarks at her and she sarcastically clicks her camera shutter at him (later she is surprised with how many pictures of Eli Navarro she ended up with, and how ...different he looks in black and white).

They stay up there until sunset, and drive back through the dark, when the air is cold enough that Veronica’s glad she has Weevil as a windbreak. They eat dinner at this great restaurant that Weevil knows about, with fries that are perfect and hamburgers so juicy that Veronica has to lick her lips after each bite to avoid having meat-juice trickle down her chin.

When Weevil drops her off at her home, he walks to the door but doesn’t linger, which irritates Veronica for some unfathomable reason.

“If I didn’t know that Sheriff Mars is armed and behind that door,” he tosses over his shoulder as he walks away, “I’d might risk kissing you.”

Veronica’s reply is lost is the noise of his bike starting.

Agatha & Gil

They build dangerous, dangerous things, and then have sex.

Temperance & Booth

Booth and Temperance take Parker to the range, and Temperance spends the time commenting on how important male-bonding is to the father-son relationship, and Booth gets annoyed with her (his marksmanship gets even preciser than normal, his bullets passing one after another through where the right eye would be, if the paper silhouette was an actual man).

Parker is impressed, which greatly mollifies Booth. Brennan comments in his ear, as they watch Parker look at the target with steely determination, “I just meant you’re a good father,” which mollifies him even further, to the point that when they have dinner, Booth doesn’t even mind that Bones steals half of his fries, and Parker gets the other half.



Also....

The Title Meme: Wherein you give me a title (and if you're picky, a fandom) and I tell you what that story is about.



Additionally, does anyone know if “there” really categorized as an adverb? The dictionary.com says it is, but verbs are action words and adverbs describe them, but “there” makes no sense for describing an action.

In the same vein, is “their” is a possessive what? Shouldn’t it be a “possessive pronoun” or something?

Grammar is evil. I should have paid more attention to diagraming sentences in grades school.
