Oh, and I love how crazy the order of these fragments of his life is. Total chaos.
So excuse me while I swoon some more. You know what this is lacking? Bono! Everything is better with Bono. IMO. XPP

There's also a half-conscious ref to this, but that has hardly anything to do with the Old Ones. XDDD
Oh yes, love me! I need love. XD
Soon I'll be famous as a write that can't write linear narrative. XDDDD
LOOOL, okay, next time there will be Bono. Thanks for reading, love! <333

Okay: caaaan you feeeel the loooove toniiiiiight?..
Who needs linearity? Let it all go timey-wimey!
Haha, people should place orders on refs. Like: can I have one U2 please, one Doctor Who and one... hmm, Mitt Romney? XPPPP (Don't ask about the latter, I have no idea where it came from.)

Oooh, yes, I can! XDDDD Keep it coming, I've got uni tomorrow, I need SUPPORT!
LMAAAO, I don't even want to imagine anyone from BH referencing Mitt Romney (it was crazy enough to have Obama on DW))).

LOL, soon I'll be making the lost of all the things Nick poured into Griffin's tea. I bet there were many))
Yeeeah, Nick is not a reader. Not by a long shot. >_< He probably thinks his law books are more fun than Dostoevsky)))
LMAO, so it doesn't make you feel sad? Damn))))) B/c it nearly tore my heart out while I was writing, esp. all the Rachel scenes. I can't handle domestic angst)) But yeah, it was necessary.
XDDD THIS is totally the Nick/womenfolk theme song ( ... )

One of the things I love the most about your writing - possibly the single thing I love the most - is the way you manage to say so much in so few words. You always find a wonderfully, deceptively simple, (and always vivid) way of summing up a situation.
E.g. this is the whole Cutler/Rachel relationship in a nutshell: He stares at her. It’s a simple question, should be a simple question but for all the veins, arteries, blood vessels inside her. She is beautiful.
Yay for including Rachel, btw. There aren't enough Rachel fics out there. :)
And Fergus. I really liked that character right from the start, and I like him more and more with repeated viewings.
“It’s you-don’t-make-a-mess-you-can’t-clean-up o’clock!” Fergus snaps. Ha ha! Perfect Fergus dialogue ( ... )

I wouldn't say I write entirely without planning. I guess it depends on the story. This one took me a few days so it wasn't as spontaneous as, say, 14; 336.
I don't even know why I love Rachel so much!!! She appeared for, like, a second and I can't say she was super-cool or attention-catching there))) But I keep coming up with all sorts of headcanon and stuff about her and I think she and Nick could be really cute together (LOL, that's where all the fluff belongs!)) Though I kind of like shoving angst in there too)))
LOL, Fergus is ttly Cutler's reluctant big brother. XDDDD I imagine a lot of squabbling: You're a copper, clean it up! - No, you clean it up, you're a lawyer! XD
I love writing halluciHal. Or halluciCutler. Damn, I just love making my characters hallucinate ppl who talk to them and say scary stuff. I blame it on Battlestar Galactica, though I think I liked it even before ( ... )

Oh, I adore Rachel as well. And Dennis and Louis. Why do we love these characters so much, when they only had a few seconds of screen time? I nearly wrote a story about Cutler's early life, and how he met Rachel myself. It would be great to see your take on that. Hint, hint! ;)
Getting back to this fic ... I think possibly the quintessential Cutler scene is where he's sitting in his office, jerking off thinking about Hal and daydreaming about Brazil and fast cars etc. That's the whole of Cutler, especially post-Hal Cutler, right there. XD

Oh! Do write that story! LOL, and then we'll compare.
To be honest, even modern nuances freak me out. F.ex. having seen a lot of med dramas made in America, I got used to American terminology - and then Monroe presents scary words like "registrar" that I hadn't even heard before! How do I not mess up something that takes place in the 30-40s!? T_T
Haha, well, the fic is exactly what it says in the summary: Cutler is just physically incapable of doing anything that is not related to Hal or world domination. XD How did he even exist before Hal? XD
Speaking of our love for such minor characters, I guess it all stems from the headcanon we (for some insane reason) build up for them. (Or in Dennis's case, because he looks funny. XD) At least all these have faces! I like Jacob! And he hasn't even appeared on the show! Wtf brain? XD
