Title : Perfect Pitch
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 15
Characters : Stephen, Ryan, Connor, Cutter
Disclaimer : Not mine no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for lukadreaming who wanted Stephen/Ryan and the prompt rugby.

It was small, brown, furry and it scuttled.

Connor threw himself at it and missed, ending up inches from a cowpat.

Stephen’s attempt was even less successful, and infinitely messier.

Ryan wrinkled his nose in disgust. “What is it with you and dung, Hart?”

“I’d like to see you do better, soldier boy.”

The deinogalerix made a break for freedom.

Cutter waved his coat at it ineffectually.

Ryan sighed, then hurled himself to the ground, catching the creature with both hands, scooping it up and hurling it unceremoniously through the anomaly.

“Think yourselves lucky I didn’t drop-kick the bugger!”

Bloody hell! That looks scary. Ryan's braver than I thought.

My mammal evolution book described it as a sort of giant hairy hedgehog about the size of a large rabbit, but it had a long snout and snippy looking teeth as well!

I was cursing luka for this prompt as I know nothing whatsoever about sport, so this was the last one I managed to write.

Drabble meme successfully completed now. I ended up taking 12 prompts in total, I think.

It's been fun. I might have another go at it over Xmas. I find it easier to do pure drabbles, for some reason, rather than ficlets.

ROFL Poor Stephen :D

heee!

I find it easier to do pure drabbles, for some reason, rather than ficlets.

I think the definite length helps. Otherwise it's difficult to know quite when to start or end a ficlet - I find anyway.

*laughs* The trick is to aim for where it is going, not where it is!

*heads off to look up deinogalerix*

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Lol. Brilliant. Go Ryan.

*looks at Luka* Is this some attempt at indirect poking?

[thefakebook.livejournal.com]

Hmm... look at Ryan being all butch! *happy sigh*

[neevebrody.livejournal.com]

Go Ryan! Stephen should be very familiar with Ryan's determination by now! This was so cute! (poor Stephen)

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Ooohhhh! This is brilliant! Thank you *vbg*. I can't stop sporfling over the last line!

*Whistles nonchalantly whilst slipping Joe's bunnies some more lettuce*

Couldn't say *vbg*.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Evil.

Moi? *Adjusts halo and smiles winningly*

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

LOL, fantastic!

Stephen/Dung - is this a new OTP? *eg*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Love it! Especially:

Ryan wrinkled his nose in disgust. “What is it with you and dung, Hart?” :-)

[byrons-brain.livejournal.com]

Woot drop kick!

I love Ryan!

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee! Go Ryan ;)

*carefully carries Stephen off to give him a good strip and scrubbing...*

Love Ryan's no nonsense approach and end line, and Cutter trying his old 'waggling my coat worked with the dodo' trick.

[fififolle]

I love the way you write teamfic *big grin* this line is my favourite:

“Think yourselves lucky I didn’t drop-kick the bugger!”

ROFL!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

LOL over Connor and Stephen, at least Nick's more sensible to try diving on it.. love how Ryan sighs, it's just so.. if you want it done right..

[fredbassett]

LOL, he would be particularly long-suffering, I think!

[tia198.livejournal.com]

Yay for Ryan being able to catch it! Loved the line about drop kicking it!
