I want you all to know that just for kicks (her words),
half_sleeping has written
fic in which Conrad is persuaded to try selkie blood. If you are still not convinced I will give you the first five lines, which are:
"It's like sushi," said Veser. If you enjoyed it,
please tell her how much you liked it, and also
encourage her to write more. For now, there is:
Veser finally deciding to call Lee out on the selkie business;
Little Veser Hatch reacts to school-time selkie fairytales. This one wrenched my heart.
Veser's thoughts on Lee;
Things Veser Learned From His Uncle Lee;
Vesr's Dad's Thoughts on catching Lee red-handed; and
Veser's Dad's Thoughts On Watching Veser Watch His Dad's Best Friend p.s. if you liked this,
please tell her so. (And to write more. ♥ from me)
So I was going to post about Tales of the Abyss tonight, but, as I suppose you can tell,
half_sleeping derailed that train entirely by texting me with, "Conrad. Inexplicable lust to boss around. Help." Said she'd thoughtstream her Hanna thoughts, and so we, to my great surprise and delight, had a
Veser Amaker Hatch Party. PLEASE COME AND JOIN IN, EVERYBODY. It will be just like that time she wrote
Greater Love Hath No Man (warning, 8059). Oddly enough, that fic actually resulted from this one meet-up we all had at Starbucks. Which should tell you all you need to know about
half_sleeping, really.
As it is late where we are I have told her to go to sleep before she starts haiku'ing, and anyway she is going blading tomorrow so she did. Regardless, she will reply, if the number of "attention whoring" tags on her LJ is any indication.
Reading through the
Veser Party Post makes me realise that
half_sleeping and I have known each other WAY. TOO. LONG. I've told her before that our conversations sometimes remind me of Yamamoto/Gokudera if Yamamoto actually bitched back, but she said something to the effect that that comparison insulted our intelligence, so that was that. I still think it's true, though, however much she does not want to be the Gokudera in our relationship.
Well, she says I'm completely tsuntsun to her, with no dere whatsoever. I told her that I would dere to her when she deserved it.
so, on half-human boys who may or may not have inappropriate feelings for their family friends:
So I have told you about her inexplicable lust to boss Conrad around, but then as she read on in Hanna!canon her Conrad!domination!lust was replaced by:
half_sleeping ...CONRAD SORRY, THE STRANGE HALF-HUMAN BOY WHO MAY/MAY NOT BE INAPPROPIATELY IN LOVE WITH HIS UNCLE WHO IS INAPPROPIATELY IN LOVE WITH HIS MOTHER HAS REPLACED YOU SUDDENLY.
(I LAUGHED)
half_sleeping: OH LIKE THE LOT OF US DIDN'T SEE THAT PAIRING COMING A MILE AWAY.
A YEAR.
FOREVER.
(I said I hadn't.)
half_sleeping: I saw the fic coming. Retroactively. I SAW IT COMING FROM THE SECOND I SAW LITTLE VESSER BEING ASKED ABOUT HIS BRUISES, OKAY.
And I may or may not have already told someone this, possibly you, but RIGHT THIS SECOND I have shota!USUK request being filled over at the kink meme. The kid is very possesive of his older and very reluctant soul mate.
Ahem.
(so I said, hypothetically, would you write this.)
half_sleeping: ...Possibly.
Maybe.
It might
have
already started
writing itself
in my head.
BECAUSE IT WAS SO DAMN OBVIOUS.
Naturally after all that exciting discussion there was:
Veser finally deciding to call Lee out on the selkie business. Though I've linked it up there, this one I want to repost in its entirety so you can see how it dovetails rightinto canon (she said I could because she is a self-confessed epic fail at organisation):
Even through the
look
in Lee's eyes, Vesser thinks
of the song his mother sings when her husband is not in the house of
the way she used
to touch him before
he grew to look too much like her husband
half-loving
half-hating
all-regret and-
"Please tell me," he says, suddenly, daring, bold as never before- "You've figured it out."
