"She Wanted Storms" by Scoradh [original slash] . [N7]
First read: 26-12-2009
Comments: 26.000 words. Humour, social commentary, (gay) teenagers and their angst (romantic, familial and otherwise), what one can expect from Scoradh. Loved it, and it's emminently quotable. The ending came a bit suddenly to me but it's probably me. Will re-read for sure.
Quotes:
>> Mrs Hedges' habits were nocturnal and she was rarely without a showing or soiree to attend until the small hours of the morning, while Mr Hedges had to rise at five in order to get to work on time. Other, smaller issues divided them, like Mrs Hedges being psychotically neat, versus Mr Hedges treating the floor as a combined wardrobe and laundry basket.
>> As they turned on to the street, Nick asked uncertainly, "Which way are you going?" Robbie glanced up at him with bruised eyes. "I'm hurt you have to ask," said Robbie. "I'm going with you. To defend you from all the dastardly terrors of the night." "Like muggers?" They were in fairly short supply in Blackrock. "I was thinking dragons," admitted Robbie, "but whatever you're having yourself."
