how long the fog lasts

So I was up really late last night finishing my Life marathon.

I am not necessarily fannish about it, in the sense that I desperately want to read and write fic for it (well, except for the bad wrong Charlie/Rachel, and how is there only ONE story about this pairing out there?), but I really enjoyed the 24 (25?) hours I spent with these

I guess most people are writing Dani/Charlie? I don't know, but I think Charlie/Rachel has lots of messed up possibilities.

I am so pleased that you're watching Life! As I said, when I first started watching it, it is so nice to be equally impressed with the male and female lead actors

Well, I've been watching it on and off since it started, but this is the first time I've seen every episode.

I don't think the Reese/Tidwell stuff is meant to be anything but a long, drawn-out screw-up on her part; they painted him too clearly as a sleaze, and her as someone who often deliberately fucks up, for me to buy the "sex leads to true love!" arc.

I hope so. I feel like they are really positioning it as a turning point for her, a good thing, so of course I hope it falls apart in the absolute worst way possible.

I'm also fascinated by the Dani and Bobby relationship - the way that they both know she's better for Crews than he was, and how they deal with that information.

*nod nod*

I enjoy how they've come to a detente - especially after hunting that snake together.

And, of course, Dani and Charlie, being very aware of each other and invested in each other without necessarily being affectionate or "more than partners" - I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.

I know! PARTNERS! ♥

I was all set to write Charlie/Connie, and got derailed.

Ooh, ooh! A Yuletide/New Year's Resolution writer wrote this, so now there are *two* Charlie/Rachel stories in existence! (And this one is really very excellent.)

[serrico]

*facepalm* I meant to link to the story itself. This is why one should never post on four hours of sleep!

Awesome. Thank you.

Your icon!! *loves* Because it's so true, lol!

[musesfool]

I hope you're right.

There has to be more than one Charlie/Rachel fic out there. It's so bad wrong, there must be more.

[musesfool]

Currently, there appear to be two. Hopefully more will appear eventually.
