Fic: Privacy, A Series of Scenes

[angelicsinner]

Kahlan felt the heaviness of her body as it seemed to sink deeper into the mattress with every exhalation. She tried not to think about, well, a lot of things. About the smell of both Cara and herself mingled in the bedding, the fact they had both experienced pleasure there beneath the same sheets, how they would then sleep side by side through

Short comment to say: you’re *not* making a point against my thinking you are a genius! (Really, maybe you should learn how to live with that, ‘cause I’m not changing my mind!) ;D

This was beautiful, and heartfelt, and deep, and you’re killing me..! :D

Still, I <3 for writing this whole story!

“She thought about how that was as close to normal as she’d ever known, more close to it than she’d ever hoped to be.” -- Poor Kahlan! I feel so sorry for her hopelessness… *sigh* (though their closeness at the end made me sigh even louder… ;D)

Now, “Powerful as you are, you can’t Confess me through walls.” XD
And “Are you alright? Would you like more time?” Oh, God, Am I a bad person for loving the way Cara always manages to embarrass Kahlan?… Aww... But I can’t help but think that’s why they’re so perfect together! :D

Now, there were so many beautiful moments in this scene… *sigh* Really, I cannot stop sighing and feeling sorry for Kahlan… My heart is so tight, I feel like crying a bit… But, instead, I’ll focus on this: “I wish to be in this one with you because it is where you are. I would not want you in another’s bed and I would not want another here in your place.” And this: “So why would I leave you to another, or seek someone else when I have you?” And this: “It is a pleasure to be with you, in any way you would have me.” And: “No, her mind decided, this is where I’d never even hoped to be”.

Aww… It was almost too much for my romantic heart... It nearly exploded… *sigh* *sigh*

It’s funny how sometimes I shorten (?) my explanations as if you’d know exactly what I mean about everything I say.. As though we’re talking everyday, or you could read my mind... ;P (yeah, I’m silly, I know. *sheepish grin* Like you once said: ignore me. It’s late ;) -- and I’m sick)

So, I also wanted to say: Cara’s opening up and her take on their proximity was(/is being) just (*sigh*)… beyond any expectations I could ever have… :D Really: impressively beautiful! Now, I guess that’s pretty obvious, but I’ll say it anyways: loved it! ;D

[angelicsinner]

Oh no! Sick? Well... okay, I'm way behind on this, but are you okay now? Are you feeling any better? And while I'd like to think I understand you, I will make no such assumptions- if I am unsure, you can count on me asking. But, so-far-so-good... I think... I hope? Eh-- ignore me, I'm jet-lagged! ;-D

And I'm glad you 'loved' this chapter, and liked what Cara had to say about her and Kahlan's proximity. Hopefully, I'll keep up the good work! =-)

[angelicsinner]

Dear e_quint,
the more you call me a genius, the more I feel the need to point out the truth of your misconception. So, yes, I will make a point against it! I will not have you be a liar! I will defend your honor and integrity, don't try and stop me-- I may not be a genius, but that doesn't mean I am selfish. =-P

And on that note? Hello again! Sorry for the belated reply! (*waves*)
I'm glad you enjoyed the dialog in this-- I felt a little unsure about all of it, Cara isn't usually much of a 'talker', but in this scene she's doing most of it, which I knew was a bit of a change-up... I hope I didn't lose her voice in all of that though; otherwise it's really a step back more than anything else... =-/

AND NO HEART 'SPLOD-Y!! BAD! Don't do that! Stay with me, I need you to keep me on my toes! And, you know, I'd miss you! ;-D

[e_quint]

Hey, long time no see, AS! *waves back* :D

Aww… Thank you for your concern, m’dear! You’re adorable.. Well, yes, your comment is late-ish, but, nope, I’m not better. :( Yep… Still sick. And feeling like shit, for that matter. =S But I don’t want to be complaining after you being absent for so long! So, I’ll tell you the bright side of my sickness (yes, optimism is the key! ;o)): 1) replying to your reply in the same scene!! ;D Hehe…
2) I’ve managed to watch a couple of Buffy episodes!! Yay! :D I’m enjoying it! It’s a real shame I didn’t watched it back when it was on! Buffy and I would've been the exact same age, and I would’ve had someone to look up to! ;D (kicking vampires’ ass has to be the dream of every teenage girl, and not only mine, right?… ;D) Now, how come I haven’t watched it until now, it’s a mystery.. I mean, I’m a huge fan of high school stories/plots (and vampires)! Hhmm… well, I’ll think about this later…
Now, tell me, how wrong is it that I already kind of have a soft spot for Cordelia? (Not -- entirely ? -- because of Trianna, but because of Cordelia herself) She’s so bitchy and... well… yummy! Hahaha!

As for your other note, don’t be upset! Please! I promise not to call you the ‘g’ word *ever again*! :D Cross my heart! Now, in return, would you mind stop calling me ‘e_quint’? I know, I know, it’s my user name, but, the thing is, my obvious choices were already taken, and my patience was running low.. Plus, I wasn’t feeling creative at the moment, so I just shortened my name and took whatever I could get. (Never mind me. I'm sick. I digressed. :P My bad...). Anyways, it makes me laugh hard every time you say it! It seems you’re talking to somebody else, not me! Hahaha! So, do me a favor, no more ‘e_quint’. Just call me Erika, ok?

And as for the heart explosion, I’d miss you too, but, sorry, I cannot promise you it won’t happen again… *shakes head* You see, pure happiness explosions do have a special place in my heart, so...
And you do not need me to keep you on your toes! ;D C’mon, you were doing great way before I even showed up (Joe Loves Lesbian Award, remember?). Still... *blushes and feels flattered*

Now, I know it’s only been a few days, but how’s the trip going so far?

[angelicsinner]

Okay-- no more e_quint. Erika... Got it. ;-)
I actually didn't know that was your name... I feel really bad now... (*guilty*)

I'm sorry to hear you're still not well! What's wrong, do you think? Cold, flu, allergies...? Do you feel like you're over the worst of it, or still headed for the eye of the storm (so to speak)?
As to your having watched some Buffy-- I loved the early seasons *so* much! Season one will always be special, because it introduced me to the characters I'd come to love, but season two was really amazing in its growth, and season three was when they really took what they had and ran with it!... I'll be rambling more than usual if I go on so I'll stop now. And I'll just say-- I hope you keep enjoying it! It'll always have a place in the TV-corner of my heart, no matter how old I get, I think. =-)

As for keeping you around-- YEAH I DO! How do you think I got to this point? Had awesome people like you to keep me on my toes! You keep me in line, keep me focused, keep me humble-- the full gamut! You're an integral part of this whole process; this whole thing falls apart without you! So don't go anywhere. If the impulse ever over-comes you? Tell me why. Then I fix it. Then we're both happy! See? System awesome is awesome! ;-)

And, okay, my trip's been pretty amazing so far, not gonna lie! I'm actually not a huge fan of Manhattan, but some of my favorite people in the world are here, so they certainly make it all the more shiny and cool, and it's great to get to see them. Next I'm going to visit some friends still at University, whom I've not seen in almost a year-- I think I may be looking forward to that most of all!

[e_quint]

Hey, no feeling bad or guilty! :D I mean that! How on earth would you know that was my real name, considering I hadn’t told you? ;D Besides, it’s not like it was written on my journal or anything.. Not that you would find anything there, anyways… There’s nothing about me written in it, ‘cause it only exists so that I can leave appreciative comments on other people’s journals/stories! ;D

As for my sickness: respiratory allergy. 6 days and counting. Short explanation: it involves marriage, a remodeled bathroom, and a momentary anger at being an architect. Oh, never mind... Putting this together also involves a bit of ranting, which I’m too sick to do right now. (maybe later?…) And I do believe (hope?) I’m over the worst, which I believe (hope ?) was a couple of days ago… So, again, thank you so much for your concern! :D You know what would make me feel a little better, though? *shy face* One of your scenes… *wink* Any of those stashed away somewhere? *pleading look*

Now, ‘gamut’, fancy! You enrich my lexicon and I absolutely *love* it! ;D
And I find it really adorable that you take time to answer. It makes commenting here all the more rewarding. Seeing that you care, and all… Trust me, it is a pleasure, both the reading and the commenting! And it warms my heart knowing that you think it helps... *hugs you* And if system awesome is awesome, who am I to ruin it, right? ;D

Now, getting to see people who make places shinier and cooler and meeting friends you haven’t seen in a long time is the *best*!!! Aww.. I’m reaaally happy for you! You know, 3 of my best friends live abroad. :( They try to come to Brazil every year, but, still, I miss them a lot!

Now, what can I say besides: Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! Have tons of fun! (And keep me posted? I’d love to hear the news, if you don’t mind, that is!) ;D

Erika ;)
