I'm putting this up a bit early because I'm not sure how much internet access I'm going to have over the next few days. And if it takes me awhile to respond to my story, that's why and I'm really sorry!
Title: The Power Outages Were Caused by Falling Palm Fronds
Author:
fish_echoEtc.: Psych, Shawn/Gus, rated H for hugging, 1800 words.
Prompt: Written for
gloss upon the occasion of [
the inaugural fic fest] of
you_know_thats_right :) The prompt I chose was [
skip] 1) Cuddling for warmth. Gen or slash. Oh look, here's some dummy text so that you can't tell which prompt it was just from the length of this.
Betaing:
aithine, thank you for your reality checks and for telling me how much of the story had made it from my brain into the page.
winkingstar, thank you for helping me get the rest of the story onto the page, for reminding me that I really should put in at least one dialogue tag somewhere in the story, for being my research librarian and especially for doing this all when you were very busy! Any remaining incoherency is all mine!**
**If, however, you need large amounts of incoherency for some purpose, I've got shedloads of it laying about the place and I'd be more than happy to sell it to you at bulk rates :)
Pull Quote: "I can't drive us home like this, Shawn! We are covered in ocean water and it's a company car!" said Gus.
Reading locations: [
'...Falling Palm Fronds' at AOOO] and [
'...Falling Palm Fronds' at DW] (Note that due to the way the tags are done at the AOOO, the prompt isn't hidden there. It is hidden on the DW entry)
(It's not posted here because it seems kind of silly to have three versions of it running around. Anon comments are on at AOOO and OpenID and anon comments are enabled at my DW. Or you can come back here. Whichever!)
