5 Things - A Donald Strachey Mysteries fic thingie

[storyfan]

I've written five shorties for a Donald Strachey Mysteries prompt fill over at smallfandomfest. They're rated PG-13 at most, primarily for Donald's potty mouth.
Disclaimer: I do not own these lovely characters. Richard Stevenson is their daddy.

That was lovely. Donald's voice was strong and clear through the whole piece. Three and Four were my favorites and made me grin like crazy.

Thanks for saying what you liked. That helps a lot. I find I do much better with humor than I do with angst.

Don's got a distinctive narrative voice, and he's fun to write. I find Timmy a lot more difficult to manage. Must be that Jesuit background of his.

You're welcome. Donald is great for humor, Timmy definitely has a sense of humor, but Donald has such a talent for snark. Timmy works better for writing fluff or angst, at least for me, he has such a genuine sincerity to him that he just leans that way.

Timmy is a snarky bitch in the books, which I find highly entertaining. When I write him, I tend to write a hybrid of movieverse and bookverse. Same with Don.

He is that. I love both the books and the movies, but they are almost AUs from each other in terms of the relationship between Donald and Timmy. The movies are so much more idealized - which has its points. The love between them, however, comes through in both really strongly.
