Hey, this is that dark gritty angsty piece that I keep wanting to write.

It's a real head trip, well done. So sad....Hutch suffers so beautifully, whether it's emotionally or physically.

[librathree]

I don't usually do this kind of thing either, so I can say from experience that when it hits you, you'll write it too. :)

Thanks! I think Marty's suffering as much as Hutch (so I think Adrian Zmed's cute, so sue me!), but yeah, they're both in dire need of a cuddle. Don't know where Marty's gonna get his, but we know where Hutch's gonna get his cuddle. :)

I dunno. Marty'd be kind of cute with Huggy. Huggy never gets much good smexing. *G*

I have written some quite hard hitting drama in other fandoms, believe it or not. I've actually hurted and comforted with gunshot wounds and crying in showers and sad angsty make up sex and written PTSD and all that shit.
It just hasn't hit me in this one yet.
Damn muses, always wanting to flirt, joke and use me for cheap thrills. *G*

Oh. Then you don't at all have my handicap of ordinarily doing fairly light things. :) I've only written in three fandoms, and I tend toward the lower-angst end of the spectrum. Not fluff, though (she said sternly)! But I know what you're saying about the tone being different in different fandoms -- that's part of the fun of it.

Well, no, I'm actually best known for writing romantic comedy in most of my fandoms, but I have written a few dramatic things. Even those usually have some light "tension breaking" moments, though.

I'm no Molo. I'd give my left nut to write a good tooth grinding angst fest like she can dish out.

Funny, I've run into writers who ask me how to write humor, and they're scared to death to try it. To each his own, I guess. *shrugs*

Ah. Yeah, I tend toward middling, with occasional light forays. This story is about as dark as I get, which isn't terribly dark. As you say, we each have our own - both comfort zones, and the things we're best at (whether comfy or not *g*). The great thing, though - even when we might wish for greater ability in one area (like you, I wish I did better really dark gritty stuff) - that range gives us variety as readers. :)
