Summary:

Dialogue-only olicity ficlets

Notes:

A new collection has begun.
This time consists of short ficlets I've been writing in which dialogue is the only element in play to tell the story. Different scenarios, various moods. Mature content may be implied but not outright said.

I've taken these tumblr prompt memes as inspiration, often using a line from there to kick-start ficlets. If so, the initial line prompted will appear bolded in said chapter/s.

I've found this to be a fun and different challenge for myself, since dialogue isn't exactly my comfort zone. Hope you guys enjoy it just as much as I do :)

Chapter Text

“I just really need to have you here right now.”

“… I’m trying really hard not to read too much into that.”

Felicity–”

“Damn it! You had to use that voice. I’ll be there in ten. Try not to eye-murder that reporter in the meantime.”

“That’s proven to be a challenge.”

“With you? I can’t possibly imagine how.”

“I’m trying really hard not to read too much into that.”

“Behave. Try counting down from three, or do that finger rubbing thing that calms you down… woah that sounds way dirtier than it did in my head.”

Felicity...”

“Oh great, bedroom voice. Channel that! Stress reliever for sure… I mean, don’t focus your bedroom voice on her, otherwise the poor woman would end in a puddle in her office floor. But focus on happy thoughts, like our bedroom, and me.”

“That’s… not helping me stay here with her.”

“Maybe. But it will motivate you to end the interview as fast as possible once I’m there. I’m wearing one of my skirts after all”

“…be here in five.”

Notes:

Thanks for reading!!

I'd love to read your reactions, what you liked, what piqued your interest, what you think needs work, whatever is in your mind. Just a few words can help better the result and make my day :)
If I see/read this is of your liking, I'll most probably open my tumblr ask for one-line prompts for this series. So please, give feedback!

xo, Lucy
