Violet Saturation: Bartender's Choice
Author: Kat
Title: Bartender's Choice
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Violet saturation.
Supplies and Materials: Miniature collection, canvas, frame, graffiti, pointillism, novelty beads (bartender), oils (Everyone deserves a second chance), stain (this one), feathers (this picture), chalk (this picture), glitter (this image).
Word Count: 950ish
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: Random moments in Lars's life.
Warnings: mild language, sexual activity.
Notes: Seemed appropriate, since he is a bartender. 3/12!
1. Lime Rickey
He hates hot days, hates summer more than he can say, but winter cool is just around the corner, so he lifts his face into the breeze and carries on.
2. Black Russian
For a while after his mother died, Lars spiked his morning coffee with vodka, because there was just no other way that he was getting through the day.
3. Ectoplasm
Lars grew up with Ghostbusters and suspiciously green slimy things left in his bed—to this day, he's disappointed when people don't know who you're gonna call.
4. Harvey Wallbanger
He is really not the kind of guy to keep trying to batter his way through a wall, but there's something about Danny that he just can't let go.
5. Bloody Aztec
He doesn't like the sight of blood, never has, but there's nothing more satisfying than watching some guy who frightened his Summer try to stem his nosebleed.
6. Chupacabra
So here's a real secret: thanks to his asshole older brother, Lars now hates ghost stories, and he won't go near a goat.
7. Jack Rose
Some of his favorite memories are of hanging out with Aaron over a couple of beers and a deck of cards, watching the sun sink rosy-red in the west and talking about nothing at all.
8. Hangman's Blood
Some days you just want to dress up as a pirate and run around the campus waving a fake sword, which is incidentally how he met Aaron.
9. Incredible Hulk
Lars has a temper, and he always knew it was a problem, but it never really scared him until the thing with Madison and Summer, tears running down her face.
10. Pisco Sour
The drink Maricruz makes him looks like a candle, but he shrugs and knocks it back anyway, because she's the first bad girl who's ever really looked at him and he wants to make this work.
11. Corpse Reviver #2
"Jesus," he says, "what the hell did we drink last night?" and everyone else is too busy being zombies to answer.
12. My Fair Lady
Danny's not fair and she's nobody's lady, but she's his, at least, and he'll take what he can get.
13. The Last Word
Anna can't talk about her job and Theo won't shut up about his, Mort never says a word and the twins drone on endlessly, Chrissy benevolently mothers them all, and Lars just tries to stay the hell out of the way.
14. Satan's Whiskers
He will never forget the heart attack he almost had the first time he stayed over at Aaron's parents' house and woke up with a cat's face two inches away from his.
15. Pink Lady
Madison is not his type at all, girly where he likes the bad girls, sweet as sugar where all his friends abuse him, and in hindsight, that should have been a warning sign.
16. Delilah
He wants to be angry with Madison, wants to blame it all on her, but the truth is far more painful; it's all, every last bit, his fault.
17. Green Vesper
Lars isn't really into the Bond films—a little bit too pointless for him—but he has to admit the explosions are first-rate.
18. Death in the Afternoon
He's never been more completely alone than the Friday afternoon he spends sitting on the fire escape, drinking red wine and wondering if Summer is all right.
19. One-Balled Dictator
Lars is absolutely flabbergasted by the names of some cocktails during bartender certification, but even more by what goes in them—for God's sake, one of them is green.
20. Savoy Affair
He's not a particularly classy kind of dude, but for Summer's wedding—or whatever they're calling it, commitment ceremony? Whatever—he will be polished to the nines.
21. Golden Doublet
Summer wants to go to a Renaissance Faire, to see what it's like, and Lars pretends he just got his costume for the day—but he knows she sees the worn patches on his doublet that attest to many, many trips.
22. Slippery Nipple
Feeding Thomas is a lot harder than it looks, especially when the kid just can't latch on to the bottle; finally Summer guides the bottle in his hand gently to the baby's mouth, and Lars wonders when she grew up.
23. Skittle Bomb
Lars tells everyone that he only watches that My Little Pony show because Summer likes it, but the truth is Summer could take it or leave it, while he is way more fond of Rainbow Dash than is probably healthy.
24. Hurricane
Hurricane Sandy is really bad, and a lot of his friends lose power, so they all crowd into his Brooklyn apartment, and drink and laugh and cuddle, and reflect on how much worse it could be.
25. Hairy Virgin
Being a seventeen-year-old virgin in high school with a hairy chest and back sucks, but it's a lot better than herpes, and Lars is not above the occasional moment of triumph.
26. Sake Manhattan
He doesn't get the appeal of raw fish—he's Danish, for God's sake, where they cook their fish properly—but he has to admit that the inari sushi is pretty damn good.
27. Slammer Royale
Ordinarily Lars can hold his liquor pretty well, but tequila has always gotten him good, and it is not at all fair that his friends know this.
28. Screaming Orgasm
Sex with Danny is more like fighting than fucking sometimes; there's bruises and bites and they both end up screaming.
29. 20th Century
It's weird, knowing that the twentieth century is in the past and they are officially living in the future, but kind of awesome at the same time.
30. Gimlet
He's been given a second chance, as little as he deserved it, and he doesn't need Ivy's gimlet stare to remind him that he better not fuck it up.
