Echoes of Forgotten Earths. Chapter 4

[doctorv]

Let's get the warnings out of the way early: Murder-death-kill is going to be mentioned. There's a serial killer in this, it's to be expected. If there's anything really graphic, I'll be sure to say so up front and give the chapter a higher rating. Also, gay sex happened and may be mentioned or thought back on. If it happens again, I'll say so up

Two chapters in one week!? You're gonna spoil us Doc, like we were before.

Gotta love how thye take a pants break while talking about serial killers.

[doctorv]

Bwa-ha-ha! It is my plan to lull you into a false sense of security, drop a humdinger of a cliffhanger, and then wait a year to finish the damn thing.
...
Hm, perhaps I should not have revealed my evil plans. Curses! I'll just have to have a humdinger of a surprise in this, then.
...
I would suck as a supervillain, I keep giving my plans away. ;D

Pants are important! They provide a sense of comfort and security and also allow for one to leave one's home at a moment's notice. (Haha, yes, it is because I suddenly realized Ted and Booster still weren't dressed and would need to be for the next chapter. I'm so clever. *facepalm*)

[timemonkey]

I've seaid it before and I'll say it again, you are the master of suspense and pure evil. ♥

(I'm surprised they were wearing anything at all, they fell asleep naked and weren't expecting Junior home so soon, at the very least I was expecting naked Booster. Og well, I can always just picture it myself)

[doctorv]

I almost, almost had Booster wander around naked for a while. But then I figured that parenting instincts would overrule his inner nudist. Besides, they're into fall/winter right now and they live in Chicago. I figure it'd at least be a little chilly, even if they have the heat on. ^_^
(And if it makes you feel better, Booster was only wearing his boxers. I meant to mention it, but apparently forgot. ...Oh, no wait, there it is. At the bottom of the first section. Haw. XD )

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Doc, you have a talent for writing dialogue, I love reading your stories :D

[doctorv]

*grin* Thank you muchly. I do quite enjoy the dialogue. Except when they just won't shut up and follow the plot like I want them to. (Or shut up and have sex. Either way they're damn chatty.) XD

[fleur_de_liz]

Haha, fifty-two!

This continues to be awesome. The image of exhausted parental Booster kills me. <33333

[doctorv]

Booster parents by instinct (somehow) and afterthought and it serves him well. ^_^

Hello,
I joined monitor_duty as a back-up and will be posting tomorrow's edition. Currently I'm going through the friends page and sorting out the fics, art etc and came across yours, could you tell me what characters/pairings are in this fic and the rating please?

Also, I love your icon.

[doctorv]

In this particular fic, the main characters are: Booster/Beetle (also the main pairing), the Question, Mr. Zsasz, Junior (OMC). Also in it are Skeets, Beetle's Bug (as an AI), and a de-aged Max Lord. Other characters will be showing up in the story, but I can't say who yet or it'll give away the surprise.

...Um, anyway, in this particular chapter the characters/pairings are: Booster/Beetle, Question (Vic Sage), Mr. Zsasz, and Junior (OMC).
And the entire Mullet-verse has been given a sort of blanket PG-13 rating unless otherwise specified. This chapter is PG-13.

(Kinda braindead right now. Did that make sense?)

Re: Also, I love your icon.

[x_pixilated_x]

Thank you! ^.^

[silver_apples]

Oh, this was fantastic. I adore the whole scene with the dishes and Junior looking for eyes on the back of Booster's head, but I especially love when Ted threatens Junior with tracking devices.

Ted's very good at not thinking about things he can't deal with, isn't he?

Also, I have a request. May I borrow your toys and play in your sandbox? Pretty please with chocolate sauce on top? I had an idea for a quick Mullet-verse fic about the family going to see fireworks I'd like to write.

[doctorv]

Hey, mi cajón de arena es su cajón de arena, mi amiga. ;D
Or to put in simpler: Yes. Please to help yourself to the Mullet-verse sandbox and all toys found therein. ^_^ I actually wanted to draw something July Fourth and familia related, but couldn't decide on an actual scene. So please. Yes. It would make me happy if they could see fireworks somehow. *grin*
