Title: In The Wee Hours
A/N: Thanks for bearing with me on this series. This took a lot longer to write than I'd hoped. I wanted to post these by Christmas-at least by the 26th for this one. I appreciate your patience.

That last line was perfect. And the rose! The 'de-flowering'! That was the cutest damn thing I've ever read. The line about Cosmo, Sam being too tired to drink her juice, Brooke's fantasy about Sam's father still being alive - I can't stress enough how much I loved it all. I'm going to go read this again, and again, and again...

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it. I'm glad the ending worked, too. I really wanted that to be special: it's my 'how they got together' story (just spread out over four parts).

Pfft, 'liked'. I loved it. No other words for it.
You going to write New Years fic y/y?

I don't know. I've never been one for writing smut-I always prefer the sweet. Besides, I don't think Brooke's going to make it until then ( ... )

OMG.. I think those last two lines made my heart break and then be put back together bigger and better. It was perfect. The kind of line that knocks the wind out of you, making you gulp for air. Such a pleasure to read. Thanks heaps for sharing.

Thanks so much. It's a romantic notion, but Brooke sees herself as the caretaker of Sammy's soul. And she's found the person that will do the same for her.

I figure, if you can't have an absurdly romantic notion in fanfic, where can you have it? And they're a great couple. They deserve it.

Naw, This was so epically cute.

I snickered at the Flower part, that was fantastic.

quatorz January 22 2009, 03:15:01 UTC

LOL. Thanks. Its funny, the 'de-flowering' was completely organic in the scene. Brooke had given Sam the flower, and then in my mind she tossed the flower over her shoulder and made the joke. It was written as it happened.

Nice when that happens. The prose fairy was MIA when I started this one, and every sentence was like pulling teeth. I revised and revised. I could have revised more, but I have to learn to balance my desire to have it perfect versus my desire to post in my lifetime.

Once again, you know how much i adored this, but i still feel the need to comment and reaffirm that ;)

Just amazing. The de-flowered thing was pure genius, Brooke's visit to Joe's grave and her last words... heartbreakingly wonderful. *happy sigh* You did it right, dude. *thumbs up* Captured everything perfectly.

This is me with a spoon...and I'm eating it all up. You're too good to me!

I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for all your help on it. I did thank you at the top, didn't I (*just looked*) Okay, yep I did. Good. But-really-your taking a look at it when it was still 'stew' helped me figure out what worked best where and all that.

I'm taking at least one day off before I start another one...although the one with Harrison is starting to talk to me. Sam is thinking to herself that she needs to tell him before he finds out if she has any chance of salvaging their friendship.

How is your coming?

redlance_ck January 22 2009, 06:20:02 UTC

Yeah you did... it totally makes me feel all goo-y and special inside when i see my name up there, lol. And you're welcome, any time ;) (But you know that already, lol)

Dude... were're totally like channeling each other with that Harrison thing. I have a section in my latest where Sam finally talks to him...

And it's... coming. Slowly, lol. But it's almost there.. i'm just fiddling with the end. =D

Very nice. I share your view that there is no such thing as excessive sentiment in fan fic. Quite intrigued with your mention of Nicole in a reply to a prior comment. But you know where I stand on that. Prison doors clanging, right?

quatorz January 23 2009, 01:46:43 UTC

I'm not sure yet. I know Mike has a surprised planned for the girls because at this point he's known about them for about three months. I just don't know what the surprise is yet. The plot fairy will tell me soon, I imagine.

But in my mind's eye I see Nicole just walking through the door and knocking. Christmas of '02 would be 18 months. That's plenty of time to serve for just trying to kill somebody. So I may see what develops from that.
