So, work officially sucks. And it's not going to take me anything like three months to do this research and report. I'm giving it more like three weeks. Research is boringgggg!

On the other hand, I want lacha to know that they need lab monkeys for synthetic fuel research.

After work, I went to chill with my boyfriend. Yay Boy! We don't get to see each other enough, and he's going to Budapest at the end of August. Budapest. In Hungary. This makes me Sad.

And that is all for right now. So! Prompts. Either a character or a pairing, and an adjective. Only one per person, please. Here we go!

Ace knew fire. It was one of those things that came with the territory. He understood the tiny, flickering flame of a candle and the hard, roaring fire of a forest and the deep, straining fire of a volcano.

Ace did not get Usopp.

"Hot, hot, hot!" shouted Usopp, fanning his hand and then sucking on his fingers.

"Let me see," said Ace, and reached to pull Usopp's hand over. He'd burned the pads of his fingers, but not badly. "You'll be fine. Let me get the sweet potatoes."

The embers of the fire were quiet, but he could feel the potential as he leaned over to retrieve their meal, juggling the tubers to cool them down so Usopp wouldn't get burnt again. The heat didn't bother him, of course, so he ate his steaming. Usopp smiled when handed his share, though. "Thanks," he murmured.

"No problem." He reached over with his other hand, and pulled in the small heat of the embers. One thing about this ability: when stranded on abandoned islands, he never had to worry about fire.

"No, I meant . . . " started Usopp, quietly, before trailing off.

"No problem," repeated Ace, glancing over at his companion and wondering ho soon they'd get off the island. And why he didn't feel any particular urge to go.

They ate in silence for a while, while the stars came out.
