Contest #3

[mythverdandi.livejournal.com]

Okay, so, as I won the last contest I've got to think up the challenge for this month (the whole point of these contests was so that someone else could think up the challenges, come on people!)

The Challenge for September...


----------

What is this feeling, so sudden and new, I felt the moment I laid eyes on you?
My pulse is rushing. My head is reeling. My face is flushing. What is this feeling?

Fervid as a flame, does it have a name?
Yes...

Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
For your face, your voice, your clothing.
Let's just say: I loathe it all

Every little trait however small makes my very flesh begin to crawl,
with simple, utter loathing.
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure, so strong.
Though I do admit it came on fast, still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing, loathing
You my whole life long.

So, the rather delightful song What is this Feeling? from the musical Wicked.

Now, I think this song could be used to describe any number of relationships in Dark Angel. Max and Alec springs to mind immediately for me. Or Zack and Logan. Hell, maybe Original Cindy and Normal.

Your challenge then, ficcers, is to use this song in a fic. You can use the lyrics or just the sentiment, as long as somewhere in there there's a bit of "unadulterated loathing". Whether it lasts to the end of the fic or not is your choice entirely - remember in the musical, the two characters who sing this become best friends shortly thereafter; whether you want to go that same route is up to you.


Any characters, any interpretation. If you want to hear the song yourself, click on the song title underneath the lyrics.

Have fun ficcers! Bip bip bip!
