Some stories write themselves. Others make you work for every word. Still others crash your headspace uninvited and force you to write them down just so you can get them out of your head and get back to the one you were trying to work on again*, which is the only excuse I've got for how I just wrote 3000 words of a Cable/Deadpool high school AU

IMO, it was definitely a success! I really enjoyed reading this!♥♥♥ I'm a gigantic sucker for high school AUs, and your characterization is spot on; Nate would have a hard time blending in. And why he felt so out-of-place (duh, he came from a wartorn future obviously) is explained in a non-intrusive, natural way. :D I also liked the cross-section of thoughts Nate picked up on, totally realistic and hilarious.
May I just say once more: ♥♥♥ I really love a lot of things about your writing, like how you handle character dynamics and especially how realistic and obviously well thought-out this is. IN CONCLUSION, A+, WOULD READ AGAIN

Mm, I could have gone into more detail there, but we all know where Nate grew up, so there didn't seem to be any need to over-labour the point. He's probably never going to care about how he doesn't fit in as much as most outsiders (including Wade, who spends his whole life pretending not to care), but ooh boy is the culture shock getting him bad.

And it's totally not like half the fun of this story was writing in a world where Nate can hear Wade's thoughts. *cough*
especially how realistic and obviously well thought-out this is.Ahahaha, ideas that sit in your headspace for a month before you finally give up and write them probably do end up seeming 'well thought-out ( ... )

Poor little teen!Wade did just have a very good day. Though he is probably doomed to spend a fair while trying (and failing) to get over a massive crush on his new best friend before said best friend starts crushing back, so a hug or two might not go amiss. (Unless it's from Nate, which would be very welcome but only make things worse.)

This? is FABULOUS - and I totally respect your desire not to write more.
No. Really.
This is me. Being respectful.
Not pointing out that Nate/Wade at a pep rally - or car wash for the volleyball team - would be made of sparkly crack and win.
Not pointing out that Wade would want to use Nate's TK to toilet paper the principal's office.
Completely understanding how you wouldn't want to write about how Wade deliberately projecting porn when he learns about the telepathy.
Or how they react with Wade's yellow boxes appear.
I completely understand and respect you for it.

Nate needs to stay far away from the latter in case it gives him traumatic volleyball-flashbacks. And they don't have the former down my end of the world, so obviously I am underqualified to write about them. *cough*

Ahaha, he so would on both accounts!
<.< Hey, if anyone else wants to pick up any of those ideas and run with them in this 'verse, I'm not going to complain.

One of the ideas that didn't quite make it into this story a passing comment about Nate noticing something strangely ( ... )
