Revolution Fic: Stamp of Approval
Fandom: nbc's Revolution
Rating: pg-13 to be on the safe side. Warning: Writing on someone when they're asleep.
Characters: Miles, Aaron, Charlie, Nora, Rachel and Danny. And Monroe's lurking presence.
Pairing: Gen, with canon past Miles/Nora and possible hints at Miles/Monroe and Rachel/Monroe. Maybe if you squint and tilt you head 45 degrees you ( Read more... )
LOVED that, coz yes - I think that's probably where he is right now. Charlie's opinion means the most and while he didn't ask for the responsibility of looking out for his brother's family it's not something he'd walk away from (now) unless it was Charlie who told him he wasn't needed.
Now, *clears throat* fav lines:
"Are you having a stroke?"
"Don't you dare drop your pants," Miles warns him, as he pushes up the sleeves of his shirt. "Monroe keeps his stamping above waist."
Charlie checks her other forearm, frowns and removes her jacket. Her whole left arm is covered in the 'M' stamp.
"That's a bit excessive,"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't let him kill you."
"I know," Charlie says quietly, before adding sternly: "But you should have."
"Rachel? You know what he's like and you gave him a Sharpie?"
"I was his prisoner for years," she gazes at him coldly, squaring her shoulders. "I did what I had to, in order to survive."
"Please tell me you're not jealous a psycho likes me more,"
Much better than your fantasy crap with swords and fairies
"Stu and Frannie aren't related in the story, they're a couple." Aaron explains, giving Miles a pointed look.
"Oh," Charlie says surprised, frowning at Miles.
"God, our lives are weird," Danny mutters, walking alongside Charlie, who smiles at him in agreement.
-- because of too many reasons like wit and laughter? Specifically, Miles dissing swords and fairies when he's all SWORDSMASTER all the time. LoveLoveLoved Charlie being overly stamped after a 5 min meeting and Danny's freakout. And also the general ignore Danny, he's unimportant to the situation rule everyone's following XD
"Wait- why did we take our shirts off in front of them and they get privacy?" Aaron protests.
"Because," Miles says slowly, as if he's talking to a slow child. "We're guys and they're girls. Exactly which one of them were you hoping to see topless?"
BECAUSE AARON. WE'RE GUYS AND THEY'RE ~GIRLS~...(raises eyebrow) EXACTLY WHICH ONE OF THEM WERE YOU HOPING TO SEE TOPLESS? MY EX-GIRLFRIEND? MY SISTER-IN-LAW? ... MY NEICE?
lol - at least that's how it played in my head.
I like how you got the Stu & Frannie conversation in there too. I like Aaron and Miles arguing always. And omg you got the geeky for Stephen King thing in there too. It's nice having cracky conversations that result into things.
I love it.

Yeah, that's exactly how I see it. I thought I'd start when they woke up, but Miles needed time to brood and set up the situation and dynamics.

So glad you liked those lines, I had a lot of fun writing them! I swear half of this fic was basically certain lines I wanted to write, and then sort of writing around them- like 'connect the dots'.
I needed Miles to diss swords, because of what you said, but also I needed to tie in to him referencing The Princess Bride (cause I wanted to end with Aaron getting a chance to diss him back).
Monroe was really impressed with Charlie when she stood up to him and she's a Matheson and a mini-Miles, but with Ben and Rachel thrown in there as well. Of course he'd become obsessed with her, LOL.
It's funny writing for 5-6 characters and needing to find something for everyone. Aaron and Nora got writing on them, but I couldn't come up with anything for Danny. Danny's so unimportant, that became his thing, LOL.

THAT'S HOW IT PLAYED OUT IN MY HEAD! I literally laughed a bit while coming up with the Miles-Aaron snarkfests. Ever since someone mentioned the Stu & Frannie/ Stephen King thing, I knew I had to get it in there somehow. Originally it was meant for a different crack fic that will never be written, so it ended up here.
THANKS FOR READING AND COMMENTING! I COULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN IT WITHOUT YOUR CRACKY CONVERSATIONS!
