fembuckI watched the pilot again, and got inspired by the mad hot chemistry between Headey and Glau. I'm not thrilled with this one because I don't really feel like I have a solid handle on the characters yet, but I wrote it so I figured what the hell. So ...

“You’re tense.”
Sarah looked up from the flickering fire she had been staring into at the sound of Cameron’s voice.
“So?” Sarah asked listlessly watching as the robot moved towards her slowly, running a hand through luxurious wet hair.
“It’s detrimental to your emotional and cognitive processes,” Cameron responded coming to a stop beside the couch Sarah was seated on, her head turning towards the fire as well, staring into it as if trying to understand what it was about the flickering flames that captivated the older woman so. “It limits your efficiency.”
“My efficiency,” Sarah repeated a small smirk tugging at her lips as she glanced over at the girl … robot, Cameron’s eyes now on her well. “Not everything can be measured and calculated. Tense or not, I’m and will be efficient because I need to be,” Sarah continued, her eyes momentarily darkening and becoming steely as she thought about what it was that she needed to do and why.
“But it’s not pleasant,” Cameron said listening as Sarah sighed deeply a few seconds after she finished talking, watching as the other woman rolled her shoulders and stretched her neck, a slight wince coming to her face as she did so.
“No,” Sarah admitted settling back against the couch once more. “But I can’t do anything about it,” she continued wearily, glancing over the girl for a second. Cameron didn’t have to worry about tension and bruises and cramps and all of the other things that plagued Sarah. It was easy for her to be strong, it was what she built for, for Sarah however it was more complicated than that and much more painful.
“I can,” Cameron said, her soft brown gaze focused on Sarah as she spoke.
Sarah stared at her for a moment. Cameron’s voice was always soft, soothing, just like her appearance was. She often caught herself looking at the girl, her serene looks calming her even though she knew it was a ridiculous way to feel. Cameron might not have looked or sounded the least bit threatening, but she wasn’t the innocent creature of purity and light that she often appeared to be. Cameron wasn’t a cute little puppy that Sarah could look at when she was feeling blue, the girl was a dangerous killing machine, and she shouldn’t have to remind herself of that.
“Really?” Sarah asked still watching Cameron intently, her gaze a little cooler than it had been before. “I thought you didn’t know how to defeat Skynet.”
“I don’t,” Cameron confirmed staring at her, her lips curving into something that was identifiable as a smirk either unaware of or choosing to ignore the slight hostility in Sarah’s tone. “But I can help relieve the tension.”
“How?” Sarah asked slightly curious. The truth was that the girl was right, she was extremely tense and knotted up which made it almost impossible for her to get a decent night’s sleep, and if the future had gone to the trouble of programming Cameron with Swedish massage techniques she could as well make use of them. After all, waste not want not had become a credo of sorts for her.
Cameron moved from the side of the couch stopping again when she was standing in front of the other woman. She then smiled softly and reached for the tie to her robe pulling it open before allowing the robe to fall, pooling on the floor around her feet, the firelight shimmered over her body as she stood nude in front of Sarah.
Sarah blinked. She hadn’t expected that.
“Put that back on,” Sarah said softly a few seconds later, her eyes lifting from Cameron’s tanned, flat stomach up to her face.
“Irrational,” Cameron responded holding Sarah’s gaze. “The sensations will be more pleasurable if you can feel and see my skin.”
“I don’t want to feel or see your skin,” Sarah replied immediately though her eyes drifted from Cameron’s face down to her breasts and over her stomach, her gaze locking on the smooth lips at the apex of the girls thighs, and then traveling along the lean planes of Cameron’s legs before she finally returned her gaze to the girls face.
“Yes you do,” Cameron said that smile back on her face drawing Sarah eyes to her lips. “I can detect changes in your body temperature, your respiration, and the dilation of your pupils. My heightened sense of smell also allows me to detect pheromone changes and,” Cameron halted as Sarah lifted up her hand and waited for the other woman to speak.
“I see,” Sarah said shifting in her seat knowing that it was pointless to deny that her body had some reaction to the girl. Whoever designed her had done a very good job making her aesthetically pleasing. “But you should also realize that just because there’s cake in front of you it doesn’t mean you have to eat it.”
“Do you not like cake?” Cameron asked glancing down at her body. She had been designed to specifications that were supposed to appeal to both John and Sarah Connor. If cake was a metaphor - which she was certain it was - Sarah should want to eat her.
“The question isn’t whether or not I like cake,” Sarah began.
“Yes it is,” Cameron interjected taking a step closer to Sarah, only stopping when their toes touched. “If there’s a piece of cake in front of you, and you like cake, then why wouldn’t you eat it?”
“Because it’s not right,” Sarah responded trying very hard to keep her eyes on a respectable part of her cake.
“I don’t think there’s anything unethical about eating cake,” Cameron replied that small, teasing smile on her face once again as she looked down at Sarah.
“This isn’t really about cake,” Sarah responded her eyes slipping from Cameron’s gaze once more. There was just something about the girl.
“I know,” Cameron replied that gentle, knowing look in her eyes once again. “It’s about what you need, and what I can give you,” she continued moving once again, bending slightly at the waist as she reached out for Sarah’s hand, picking it up and holding it tenderly in her own for a moment before drawing it closer to her body and placing it on her hip.
“Sarah,” Cameron breathed out softly, her voice a raspy whisper as she lowered herself onto Sarah’s lap and drew the other woman’s hand up to cup her breast. “Have some cake.”
Sarah sighed as Cameron’s mouth pressed against her own, her lips parting a few seconds later allowing Cameron to deepen the kiss.
Honestly, she had never understood the point of having cake if you couldn’t eat it too.

and if fox messes this up I shall be forced to place a voodoo curse on them for denying Summer Glau yet another opportunity to be ogled by the masses
and Lena Headey too, though I doubt she's been eh... I forget the word

shanked? shafted?
*shrugs*

not sure I saw her before 300, but now that I have I enjoy her immensely
anyway, loved the fic ^_^

Not to mention taking away weekly Lena Headey from the masses, and mustache!Kyle Valenti from the old Roswell fans, lol.
and Lena Headey too, though I doubt she's been eh... I forget the word
lol. Well, last season she did a pilot called "Ultra" that wasn't picked up, but I don't think that I can blame FOX for that. Let's hope that Lena never has to know the pain that is getting shafanked by FOX.
not sure I saw her before 300, but now that I have I enjoy her immensely
As it should be, lol. Actually 300 came out at a perfect time to entice people to watch the show to see more Gorgo.

Date: 2007-08-06 02:16 am (UTC)Gorgo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054938/) is a British Godzilla-wannabe, as far as I know. So I'm not sure just what she's talking about, either.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-06 03:57 am (UTC)Godzilla with a stiff upper lip! Fun! lol
The Gorgo I was talking about is was Lena Headey's character, Queen Gorgo, in 300 however :D
no subject
Date: 2007-08-06 03:54 am (UTC)Queen Gorgo was the name of Lena's character in 300 ;)
and wasn't roswell the aliens one on the WB or UPN? don't watch either if it can be helped... stupid life lessons networks..!
Yeah, it was on WB I think. The first season was decent, but by the time the third rolled around it was basically unwatchable.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-06 04:19 am (UTC)that's what I get for being so distracted by her good looks instead of listening to most of what people say to her
and yeah, figure that happens to a whole lotta WB shows eventually
liked Birds of Prey for a while, until they screwed up the scheduling and I missed half of the series finale
can't remember anything else worth watchin' on that.. maybe I should go on a Helena Dinah kick at some point...

Date: 2007-08-05 04:00 pm (UTC)Let's hope it's the start of a long and beautiful relationship.
Sarah/Cameron has all the angsty!wrong potential of Leto/Ghanima and Veronica/Mac yet with all the right yummyness of Nessica.
Now that's a recipe I want to try out! And yeah, the more I think about Sarah/Cameron, the more I'm like "it's dirty!wrong" which means I love it!
Here's hoping the show will be around for a while to inspire many more fics!
And thanks, it's good to be back :D

Date: 2007-08-05 04:03 pm (UTC)I really love the idea of Cameron being programmed to appeal to both Sarah and John in order to be accepted; it makes so much sense.
Yeah, I like the idea too. Plus, it explains why crazy paranoid Sarah Connor trusts Cameron so easily.

Date: 2007-08-05 04:08 pm (UTC)I looked at that section again, and it was a bit of overkill. Got rid of the second sentence and I think it flows better and is perhaps a bit less 'the future created a sex robot for Sarah' and more 'the future created a robot Sarah would be predisposed to like', lol.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it, and hopefully when the show airs we'll see more hot!robot fic popping up :D
P.S. I love your icon, it's totally "Again? We just finished! I'm not a machine ... oh wait."

Date: 2007-08-04 10:54 pm (UTC)I like how you just go for it :). Nice going.
BTW, I have to tell you that waste not, want not for me will always bring to mind that scene in 'A Thin Line' when Sam is poking at Brooke in their own little conversation all the while they're trying to fake out Mike and Jane who've come back unexpectedly from Hawaii. Makes me smile every time I think about it. Good times.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-05 04:12 pm (UTC)Yeah, now that they're playing house together it sets up all sorts of wonderful possibilities. I just really, really hope the writers don't change the way the two characters interact between the pilot and the first episode (like I totally felt BoP consciously cut down on the 'old married coupleness' of Barbara and Helena between the pilot and the second episode, and I want none of that on SCC)
I like how you just go for it :)
I guess impatience can be a virtue sometimes too, lol
I have to tell you that waste not, want not for me will always bring to mind that scene in 'A Thin Line' ...
lol, that's awesome. When I wrote the 'waste not want not' line, it reminded me of another fic I had written but I couldn't place it until you commented. Good times. That was a fun scene to write, I'm glad you still remember it :D
no subject
Date: 2007-08-06 03:11 pm (UTC)Hopefully the reason Cameron is somewhere between John's and Sarah's age is because they're both meant to relate to her, not just John. Otherwise she would have been John's age. So maybe this means TPTB will keep the current dynamic. I'm trying to think positive thoughts here :).
That was a fun scene to write, I'm glad you still remember it :D
Those Popular fics were genius. Not that I don't love the awesome blackcest fics but I like the fluff too :).
Hmmm... come to think of it, I could see Cameron forcing Sarah to lighten up making for some good fluff. This playing house setup means that the possibilities are endless :D.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-04 11:34 pm (UTC)I also hope Fox doesn't frak this series up...
no subject
Date: 2007-08-05 04:15 pm (UTC)Hopefully! I totally need a pairing to replace Chase/Krista, and these two seem promising. Let's just hope FOX doesn't cancel it after four episodes (I really have no faith whatsoever in FOX, I'm just hoping SCC catches on immediately so that they don't have a choice).
*mourns Chase/Krista and the loss of Blade AGAIN* Damn, I loved that show.
