Plot bunnies come from the weirdest places...

Okay, so it's time for me to post my latest fic.  No, it's not the V-Day fic for the challenge I proposed, but it's something somewhat close to a crack-fic.  I've never written a story quite like this one before, and there's a real story behind this one.  In this story, Riley is based entirely off of my friend Chris, and a conversation I had with him last night.  (Yes, he was high, but it was aboslutely amazing. And no, I wasn't high.)  So, my fic "Into the Wardrobe" is dedicated entirely to him.  This one's for you, Chris Fay.

“Heeeeeeeeeeey, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.”

Ben Gates walked into his study, eyebrow raised questioningly, to find Riley Poole spinning himself around slowly on the chair in front of the old oak desk.  The younger man seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, with the occasional giggle escaping his lips every twenty seconds or so.  Walking over to the desk, Ben put his books down on the shelf, then grabbed the back of the chair in which Riley sat so that the chair stopped spinning.

                “Riley?” Ben asked questioningly.

The techie looked up at the older historian, his eyes somewhat glazed over, grinning madly.  As he looked around the room (everything was still in place, which was odd for times in which Riley was left alone in the study), Ben noticed that something was off.  At first, he couldn’t place what it was, but then he noticed.  Other than the smell of coffee, which he had noticed upon entering the house, the smell of marijuana permeated the room.

                “Riley, are you high?”

Riley, still grinning, shook his head.  He tried to get up out of the chair, failed, and sat back down, still smiling.  (Ben could tell that his brain had told him it wasn’t a good idea to try and stand on his own, and privately, the older man agreed.  He could tell that he was gonna spend the rest of the day looking after Riley and making sure he didn’t do anything stupid.)

                “Hey, Beeeeeeeeen.  I took a triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.”

                “I’m sure you did, Riley.”

                “Wanna know where I went?”

Ben rolled his eyes, but smiled slightly at the same time.  Although he knew that Riley was totally high, and the explanation to follow would probably make no sense whatsoever, because they were partners, two halves of the same whole, Ben felt obligated to indulge the younger man.

                “Where’d you go, Riley?”

                “Narnia.”

This declaration was met with complete silence as Ben stared at his younger companion in wonder and amazement.  Only someone like Riley could compare being high to visiting the fabled land of Narnia.  After about fifteen seconds, Ben cracked up at the look of complete accomplishment on his younger companion’s face.  Pulling himself together, Ben ran a hand through his hair, at the same time hoisting Riley up out of his chair.

                “Let’s get you to bed.  You shouldn’t be up and about in this condition, Ri.”

                “But there were moose!  Moose, Ben!  In armor!!  And chipmonks – get this, Ben – in clothes.  Yeah, clothes.  Weird, right?”

                Ben shook his head, grinning.  Wrapping one of Riley’s arms over his shoulder so that he could help support the techie as they walked, Ben leaned down and gave Riley a quick kiss.

                “Only you, Ri.  Only you.”

                As the two left the room, the last words heard were, “Wanna come to Narnia with me, Ben?”

Hope you enjoyed; this was totally random, but our conversation last night just screamed at me to make a story out of it. <3

H&Ks,
Sarah

I LOVE YOU. Will you take me to Narina? <3 (I bet your "e" key just loves all the action it gets from your crazy!Riley fics. XD)

[astronomylover.livejournal.com]

My 'e' key certainly feels the love. crazy!Riley fics are very enjoyable to write. Love you, dearest.

That was more cracked out than the zombies. I lack words. *glomptackle*

[astronomylover.livejournal.com]

Haha. I find it all the more funny that it's based off of a real conversation. Thanks for the wonderful review.

[irish-smurf.livejournal.com]

I have to say I am so proud of you! Lol, 471 words!!!!! Go Sarah!!!! Haha, wonderful dearie <3

I actually wasn't counting, but compared to my other fics, that's super short. Yay for finally writing something close to a drabble. Maybe one day I'll actually get there, lol.

Love you, dear. <3<3<3

This is so surreal, me and my flatmate (my very straight, very male flat-mate) were giving eachother three prompts for BRILEY. Amongst the many, I got given: Lion, Witch and Wardrobe. Lol! Love what you did with it

[astronomylover.livejournal.com]

LOL. I can only imagine how that conversation went. I wish I had been there. If it hadn't been for Chris, I don't know what I would have done with a Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe prompt. Thank god for crazy friends, right?

Oh holy fuck...Y'know I always wanted to see a fic where Riley gets stoned, I would write one myself but I'm glad someone much more talented did it before I did haha. I love this to no end and surely the image of a crazy high Riley will haunt my brain for the rest of the day...for which I thank you.

[astronomylover.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for the crazy!high!Riley. He sure was fun to write. This one pretty much wrote itself, which was nice for a change.

Thanks so much for the lovely review!

This is so much better than football. :) I hate football, but...it's better times a million gabillion gajillion. Plus ten.

Very amazing.

I'd like a prequel as to why/how Riley got those lovely little drugs that made him so scrumtios...-er...that he already is...and...oh, just get writing, will you? <3

[astronomylover.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. Every part of that conversation came from something my friend Chris actually said to me, believe it or not. I made none of it up. Lol, it was the best coversation ever. Seriously. (I don't smoke or drink, so from a perfectly sober POV, it was just hilarious.)

As for that prequel, IDK. I still have ideas for my snow!fic, National Treasure/Gone in Sixty Seconds crossover, National Treasure/LOST crossover, the valentine's challenge that I proposed and still haven't written, AND (if that's not enough on it's own), an idea for a Moonlight fic. I'm forgetting something. Oh, wait. SCHOOL. LMAO. I will try my best, however. I might not be writing for a while, though. <3
