That was great and exactly what I needed! I'm feeling all bleeeh and sad and this made me smile. :D Grumpy Snowman Miles is so precious! Bass and Charlie decorating him. LOL Btw, your Bass is SO GOOD, he's... Bass.
My favorite part, LOL
'Don't you dare stick that carrot on my face!' Miles warned.
"Where do you want me to stick it?" Bass asked innocently

And big brother Bass, that was so adorable. Happy Bass always makes my heart melt. I have to add this to my flashback wish list: pre-blackout Bass with his sisters.

You rock :)

My Superhero twin!

Well, I'm glad I managed to cheer you up, but why are you sad? Don't be sad! I forbid it! *hugs Nika*

Grumpy Snowman Miles is so precious, Aaron wished there was still internet, so he could create a 'Grumpy Snowman Miles' Meme to rival that of 'Grumpy Cat'.

And Bass and Charlie are adorable partners in crime.

Haha, thanks! I think the line you quoted was me channeling my inner Butters, she must have rubbed off on me during the rewatch chat. I'm not complaining, though. *g*

Bass with his sisters is on my flashback wish list as well! I really wish we could see Bass with his family

My Superhero Better Half! Just saw the Charlie & Gene you posted, you're on a roll! You go girl!

Well, I'm glad I managed to cheer you up, but why are you sad? Don't be sad! I forbid it! *hugs Nika*

No reason in particular, just having a bad day I guess. But I'm all better now and Grumpy Snowman Miles was a big help :D

That's no competition, Grumpy Miles beats all the grumpy in the world.

I don't know, maybe I've read too many of Butters' Miloe fics lately but it just sounded so very much them. :D

Awwww, stop! And I think the roll is over, because most of the prompts are taken and I really need to focus on the Santa thing (the reason I didn't answer the email was because I didn't want to answer until I wrote some more, or I'd feel like a flop). I probably wrote that ficlet to procrastinate. I've been having some issues with the Bass-Rachel segment, so I skipped it for now and wrote the Pre-blackout Matheson part (it's about 970 words and fluffy).

We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Yay! So happy to hear it helped, Grumpy Snowman Miles is happy to be of service (no he's not, he's grumpy, but let's pretend he is).

YESSSSSS! So Grumpy, so cute!

LOVE!!! Snowman Miles hit all the necessary grumpy points! And a little Miloe subtext. ;D I dunno why, but Miles turning into a very cross snowman has somehow become really plausible on this ridiculous show. *shrug* I'm with Gene. Miles also speaks to me inside of my head. *nods* So that's normal too.

And I always love Bass and the sisters - they're some of my fave flashbacks to write and read. And any mention of Miles as Ben's little brother warms my heart. Miles is a terrible little brother! LOL. Bass needling Ben about driving was awesome - exactly how I picture them.

You writing these stories is what I call, "a Christmas miracle."

[ivy_b]

LOVE!!! Snowman Miles hit all the necessary grumpy points!

Thank you! You were a big help in creating him, because you loved the idea of Grumpy Snowman Miles so much.

And a little Miloe subtext.

I think I was channeling my inner Butters for the Bass parts, you really rubbed off on my during the rewatch chats. And of course there's Miloe subtext, how could I resist my Miloe love?

I dunno why, but Miles turning into a very cross snowman has somehow become really plausible on this ridiculous show.

With this ridiculous show, it just might be plausible. Although I'm with Rachel on this one, bringing people back from the dead is a bit different than turning someone into a sentient inanimate object.

*shrug* I'm with Gene.

I'm always with Gene. I love the guy so much and in my head he never has time to deal with the Mathesons and their crazy BS. *pets San Grandpanda*

And I always love Bass and the sisters - they're some of my fave flashbacks to write and read.Me too! We need more Bass with his family fics, because I'm sure the show

[buttercups3]

I was so worried about the Nativity story, because "Christmas, what is this confusing thing?"...The prompt said school, it can't be a church play' and 'How old would Angela be?' Etc, etc. So much hassle for such a short ficlet, LOL.Haha. Well those all seem like typical fic research questions to me. I seem to remember this conversation I had with Cory once, where she was talking about being on the phone with tattoo artists...to ask how they tattoo penises. LOL! So, research is always key. Sometimes it does fail, but a sheep costume makes perfect sense

Haha, yeah, it is typical research stuff, which for me means Google and Wiki. LOL at Cory! I wonder what the guy's reaction was.

Oh Ivy, separation of church and state in this country...don't get me started. *gags a little in my mouth* ;)

I don't think you get to complain, we're a Jewish State and most of the times the religious people take over everything and force us secular people to conform. So we have to fight for every establishment that we want open on Saturday, among other things.

OMG, I feel you on Angela and Cynthia. When "Home" first came out, I had to pause and rewind on the girls' graves for like 10 minutes, and I wrote them down on this scrap of paper that I subsequently lost. When I was writing my story Dark is Right, in which they feature heavily, I had to keep stopping to calculate

Grumpy Miles as snowman is perfection. So so glad you gave into our harassment. Love the dialogue and Gene being annoyed by the Mathesons and Bass sticking a carrot up- I mean, on Miles. :P

And Bass being an awesome older brother! *smush* And a little Monroe sister as a sheep, grinning at her big bro? Nothing has ever been cuter.

Thanks! I'm glad I gave into your harassment, this was so much fun to write. Grumpy Miles is love! I Flove Gene and him not having time for Mathesons and their crazy BS and I'm pretty sure I channeled my inner Butters for Bass and it shows. *g*

And Bass being an awesome older brother! *smush* And a little Monroe sister as a sheep, grinning at her big bro? Nothing has ever been cuter.

Bass would have been such an awesome, doting older brother! I need all the fics and flashbacks! And baby!Monroe as a sheep, was adorable and Bass was grinning like such an adorable fool, I'm sure Miles wanted to take pictures of his dopey expression. *hugs the boys*

[hithelleth]

These are both amazing. The first one is hilarious with grumpy telepathic snowman Miles being decorated and Gene unmovable by the craziness. And the second is adorable with Bass being a good older brother and I loved Ben and Miles and Ben being the oldest so he had to indulge the other two. It's nice.

[ivy_b]

Awww, thank you! I love Grumpy!Miles so much, he's so much fun to play with. And I refuse to believe that Bass wasn't a doting, awesome older brother to Cynthia and Angela, or that Ben didn't try his best to be a good older brother to Miles. It's my headcanon and I don't care if the show tries to ruin it with future flashbacks (just give me those flashbacks already!)

[hithelleth]

Grumpy!Miles is cute. I'm with you on both Bass and Ben being good older brothers.

[sasha_b]

Ahahhaaaa oh, brilliant. I love the concept and the dialogue in the snowman scene; you got to use the X-Files line! And Miles will kill Bass when he gets back to normal, I'm sure.

I also loved the Nativity Play so much; young Bass and Miles make me very happy. :) I was also a sheep in many plays (I'm so talented that way :p) so I feel for Angela.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Ah, show.

[ivy_b]

Awww, thank you so much! I so wanted to use that X-Files line and yes, Bass needs to run for his life, the minute Miles is back to his old self again.

I'm so you were such a convincing sheep, that they kept giving you that part. *g* If I put a smile on your face, then I'm glad! And we even have snow now! Yesterday and today I haven't gone to work! It's been so much fun.

[sasha_b]

I actually heard on NPR about the snow in Jerusalem. Stay warm!

I love these a lot. Keep 'em coming. :)

I'm trying! We ventured to the Supermarket yesterday all double layered and with plastic bags on our feet (that stayed dry until the end, when we reached a big ass puddle), the heat's on and we've got electricity and plenty of blankets. The worse is behind us, so we're good.

I love these a lot. Keep 'em coming. :)

Thanks, but I think I'm done. 4 is enough for me, when I wasn't going to even write one and now I really need to finish up my Secret Santa, seeing as how I have less than a week to do it in.
