ok guys, fuck that last challenge thing. new plan (though I mean, feel free to play there, or here, or there and here, or whatever, but yeah).
HUGS FOR COLBY!
(because um. I just spent all of German class ignoring modal verbs and going "man, Colby really needs a hug. or eighty." BECAUSE HE DOES, THOUGH.)
so, for the purpose of this quixotic little venture, a hug is anything from 50-500 words, and man you can totally write/link to something longer if you want, but 50-500 is a nice manageable target length I think, and it can be het or slash or gen or fluff or angst or snark or porn or backstory or some combination or pretty much anything, with anyone, as long as it has at its core the Colby-love. somewhere (possibly very deeply hidden, because Colby is, yes, adorable, but also a soldierboy, which is a) why we love him, and b) something that sets him up for a lot of trouble, sometimes). because you know what, Colby Needs A Hug. for serious.
so! post hugs here, please! I am maybe even writing one or several myself! that's what lunch is for, I think! also, here are some free bonus exclamation points for you! --> [!!!!!!!]
ok no, but, really, please humor me (and Colby). even though I'm kinda crazy.

How a mathematician gives a hug.
Date: 2006-10-21 05:36 pm (UTC)The day returning to work after the incident with Dwayne Carter, Colby expected there to be a lot of tension. Scratch that---a lot of tension. The kind of tension that makes you wish you never came to work, but certainly the kind of tension that makes you think for the (what had Charlie once told him was the larges number---a quadrillion?) quadrillionth time that putting the man who saved your life in front of doing your job was not the smartest thing he’s done.
He kept his head down as he walked towards his desk, to avoid any of those looks he had been receiving since the incident, but mostly because he did not want to see if Don had arrived yet.
Along with all the paperwork on his desk when he finally arrived, was a bag full of red gumballs.
“What the heck?” he thought to himself, and then asked David, “hey man, did you put these here?”
“No, they were there when I got here this morning. I’m not sure who put them there. The only one around here then was Don. Oh---and Charlie was here about the fraud case Don wants him to work on.”
“Charlie?” Colby thought back to all the times going to Charlie’s office and taking out a red gumball, making sure to let Charlie note his choice of color.
“Maybe today’s not going to be so bad after all” he thought to himself as he started to chew one of the gumballs.
