H/C fic request

Apr 30, 2006 22:40

I've been sick with a dang virus for 5 days now... and the doctor said I'll prolly have it for at least 7 more days...

So I could really use baby!Nick/Kevin h/c story... slash or preslash, either one. Extra brownie points if you include tears and/or references to his mother (Nick's, that is)

Thanks in advance :-)

kevin - nick, kevin, nick

Sorry, I wrote this like last week and forgot to post it. I hope you like it. If it does fill your request, just say so I wont be hurt. :D ( ... )

Nick somehow decides that rubbing isn't enough my eye landed on that phrase as I was scrolling down the page to find this ficlet, and my mind went somewhere quite other with it!

ROTF Well, she said it could be pre-slash... ;)

I'm still a little shy since I wrote a really bed story a while ago. I'm only now getting back into writing... I may get back into sex scenes...

I wasn't complaining ;) - this is sweet, although I have to admit the epithets did get to bugging me 'the dark haired man' etc.

lol. So in the future I will try not to use the phrase the dark-haired man, which I use a lot. It just doesn't seem right calling him the brunette... I was told not to just use their names. Thanks for the advice. :D I guess calling him the older man would be wrong too?

I was told not to just use their names - that's kind of odd - or maybe just overly generalised - advice, in my opinion. Epithets are far far more noticable and distracting - and distancing - than a repeated name. 'He' and 'his' can be confussing in slash, but it dosn't have to be, and there's always nicknames and so on, as appropriate. One of the questions I ask myself a lot when i'm editing or writing is 'is this the word / phrase this character would actually use'?

[http://www.trickster.org/arduinna/epithet.html has some excellent advice, both here and in other essays]

Calling Kevin 'the older man' would work, if you especially wanted to draw attention to the age difference in that moment, or if Nick's thinking of him in those terms at that moment.

Really - read that essay - it makes it mich clearer than I will!

Thanks. I'll look at that when I have time. It'll help with my new Kev/Nick story I'm working one. I'm on alittle break from it, i have 4-5 chapters first drafted and I am waiting for my new beta to get finish school before she can look at them.
