I've always wanted a story like this. This bunny has been hopping around in my head for months...and now here it is and it is a beautiful thing. THIS is Kellerman. THANK YOU. *grovels at your feet*

I'm happy to oblige, and glad you liked the characterization. For some reason, writing bad guys is always way too much fun :D
That said, don't repeat it, but it's a crackfic gone wrong: Paul wouldn't behave - no surprise here - and didn't let me crackify him. I would never have imagined that a "daydream" prompt and Kellerman would turn into something somewhat serious :p

Thanks a lot!

Oh-noes, Paul's in trouble, lol. ;) Wonderful piece of fiction. I loved Pauls part in Prisonbreak and his character, Paul Adelstein was simply the perfect pick, he never over-played anything and I guess thats what made him more intriguing and human like those other company henchmen that followed suit.

Not to mention he and SWC had perfect chemistry, a joy watching them act, even all those torture/gonna-rip-your-head-off scenes.:)

And you mastered Paul in this little piece wonderfuly.:) *claps in excited joy*

The time he spent with Sara as "Lance" definitely got to him because he didn't show so much compassion for his other victims. Not that he had a lot of compassion for Sara, but comparatively... And he's in so much trouble indeed ;)

Thanks :)

OH. This is awesome, girl. You are spot on with the idea of a 'power' thing rather than sexual - he is such a bastard, a baddie, and you've captured it SO damn well.

*sighs*

So Paul doesn’t daydream about kissing Sara - singsong voice optional.

This is jaw-dropping writing to me. It works in so well with the references to Lance, it's unbelievable.

Hon, I want to have a Saturday discussion at my journal about Kellerman's characterization today. I hope you don't mind me linking it to your story? I have a different viewpoint of Paul by 4:22, but that's just a personal opinion.

And this:

She’d probably bite him, hard enough to make him bleed

Well, yes, *g*

[clair_de_lune]

he is such a bastard
He is (and we love him for that *g*) but I also think he's a bit in denial here. He may explain and argue about his "half redressed weakness", it doesn't change the fact that Sara's got to him, and that he'll hesitate when bath time comes.

I have the hardest time picturing Kellerman seriously thinking or saying "Paul doesn’t daydream about kissing Sara". In reference to Lance or with healthy dose of sarcasm, on the other hand... definitely.

Poor Paul, he has no idea, actually. When he'll be done with her, she'll be past the biting and into the strangling him *g* (and chances are I totally failed with the tenses here o_O)

I don't know how I missed this back when you wrote it-- because Rosie's challenge set off a Kellerman/Sara story for me, too-- but I really like it.

It not only sounds completely like Kellerman, and all the corners he's backed himself into, but there's that hint of violence and liking all the wrong things (the sexualized image of Sara tied to the chair, and all the fantasies you know he's having about her neck, etc).

And in the end, he's still attracted to her-- right back to S1, where there was always that hint of it complicating his larger plans.

Nicely done!

Thanks to the challenge, there was a bunch of stories for a few days, which was so nice, and it was easy to miss something. I'm pretty sure I read your Sara/Kellerman and didn't take the time to comment because I was OMG-so-focused on writting my next drabble and not dropping out of the game *hangs head in shame*

I like that the writers made him attracted to her but managed to keep it... twisted. I tried to keep this balance here and rar if it worked. That said, I've always wondered if initially it indeed was attraction or the fact that she moved him and he didn't know what do with this.

I've written a few baddies - Kellerman, Gretchen, Reynolds - and it's usually so fun and easy, I think I don't want to know what that tells about me :p

Thanks :)
