Just The Four Of Us (The Back-To-Front Big Mystical Telescope Remix)

[deird1]

The Remix is de-anonymoused! Woo!

Here’s mine. It’s longish, fluffy, in an unusual format, and contains a rather prominent OC.
I hope you like it!

This was beta-ed by the fantabulous dreamincolor.

Just finished reading this through a second time. I'd read it on the remix comm before I knew whose it was, and I admit, I got somewhat lost in all the moving parts. Reading your explanation definitely helped sort out what was what.

I think you did a really good job with a story that might've had you in a corner. :) Buffy/Willow/Xander definitely works better as a family unit than as anything overtly shippy, and your idea played to that strength. This has some really sweet moments and - as usual, for you - has an OC we come to care about.

I'm glad you liked it!

Whee! They like me! They really like me!
*dances*

I...have large prejudices against the quality of fic on FFN

Heh. I don't blame you.

I'm so glad you liked this! It was heaps of fun to write (although tricky, as you might have noticed from my meta post).

do you know what the word count is?

5815 words. Plus the title.

And yes, it's the longest story I've ever written. (Shell Game is the only one that even comes close.)

[lavastar]

Hee! For sure.

5815 words. Plus the title.

Oh, check you out! That's like 1,000 words longer than anything I've ever written. The remix and Sundays at Nine are both around 4,500. Although I've got a bunny that could be longish...and is also kind of fucking insane and may get tomatoes thrown at me. o.o

Write it! Write it!

I have to confess that I've read the story twice, but couldn't understand it. Then I read the commentary, finally figured out who was who and this time enjoyed the story a lot.

The idea of a threesome household is as intriguing as it's slippery. You managed to make it believable and real. The ordinary lives of the extraordinary people.

Brilliant. But soooo hard to figure out what is what and who is who...

[deird1]

I'm glad you liked it! And sorry for the confusingness.

Seems like I'm not alone in reading this (at least) twice to appreciate it fully. Brilliant writing, and I can't imagine doing such wonderful things with a remix off a one-shot.

[deird1]

Thanks!

[arkeus]

wow, awesome.

Deeply, deeply impressed by that.

So, Cordelia's having a flashback of wynn's life, and mom is buffy, mama is willow?

Awesome :D

[deird1]

Thanks!

That sounds about right...
