I had notes for scenes in a hypothetical Prowl/Beachcomber fic at some point. I have no idea where they got to. I should try to find them again! In my head there's a lot of Beachcomber gently making it clear that Prowl is welcome to take up with him any time and Prowl being surprised at how very comfortable he is with this but still taking a very long time to take him up on the offer.
YAY omigosh you LIKE it I'm so glad! It's one of my favorites, I really need to reread but you're right, it is such a brick and it always hits all my buttons and has me completely freaking out. But yes! YAY AMY. And Ohgod Ari II, she is so. Wow. And Justin and Grant are hilarious and adorable and kind of worrying I love them to bits and Denys and Giraud - ! I also love Yanni. And gah, yes, the rollercoaster never stops.
I want to have a brain like C.J. Cherryh's brain when I grow up.
I knoooooow. Me tooooooo.
Okay, Skin Horse.
1. The first character I first fell in love with
Ooooh, I don't really remember anymore. One of the Field Team Plus Tip trio, of course, but. Hmmmm. I think it might have been Sweetheart, at the point at which she has one of her fits of noisy passive aggression. “I'll just stay OUT HERE. With OUR CLIENT.” And then she proceeds to demonstrate to Leo that he is not the biggest badass in Jersey by any strech of the imagination. But then, it might have been Tip. On the occasion of his paen to Jersey that ends with “Your killer robots!” but I'm not sure if that's mostly a hindsight thing or not. I've been reading the comic ever since it started. I'm a fan of the creators and I think I was going with it and hoping for more plot for a while there. I'm not sure anymore!
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Nick. Oh gosh, Nick, you are such a complete jerkass and yet -
I love that there's a decent person in there under all the foul language and hideously inappropriate comments. I love how matter of fact he is about his adherence to his ethical positions. I didn't expect to be more than amused by him when he first turned up, but two thirds of the way into the arc... … ...and he keeps surprising people, it's great! Now I'm so fond of him that I actually shrieked at the beginning of last week when I realized the new storyline is probably going to be heavily Nick centric.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
… …. ….I. Don't think there is one.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I think the fandom is uniformly in love with the entire cast so.
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
I'm not that fickle!
6. The character I would totally smooch (or possibly just snuggle)
This is a comic full of EXTREMELY hot people um.
Uh, yeah, okay, I have no idea what Gavotte would find interesting to do to me, but frankly, I would be up for it. She is amazing and remarkably sexy and I just. *blushblushblush*
7. The character I’d want to be like
The Cypress! Oh, gosh, she's so awesome!
8. The character I’d slap take by the shoulders and shake
This comic is low on that! I mean, Tip spends a lot of his time needing a wake up call, but the comic itself is happy to provide one in text so. Yeah. Ditto Sweetheart.
9. A pairing that I love
Unity/Sweetheart! YAY. Also Unity/Remy. And Nick/Dr. Lee. And Department of Irradiation shipping is practically required. And Mustachio and Gavotte's hilarious little chivalric flirtation that may or may not be them just being polite to each other is awesome. And Tip's unrequited passion for Dr. Jones is awesome. As is Unity's crush on Jones.
10. A pairing that I despise
… … …. ….Yeah, no, this comic is made of nothing but positivity and glee where the pairings are concerned.
Hahahaha! Prowl just has so much work to do, that's all. He's not averse. ;D I think eventually Beachcomber could get Prowl's head in his lap and there would be purring.
I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::runs in circles::

OMG
Okay, to be clear - are we to understand that Ari senior's death was then either truly accidental or a kind of suicide? Possibly even a premeditated suicide? This IS Ari senior... DO WANT a sequel!!!!! Are there any books later chronologically in the same universe? I'll probably go 'round picking up everything I can find anyway, but if you happen to know off the top of your head. ;D
Anyway. Skin Horse! Heeeeeeeeeee!!! I think I'm just going to get the books. Much easier on my eye. ^^; And then I can get caught up. <333 Gavotte and Moustachio! Eeeeeeeeeee!!! I would totally snog Unity right off up front barely an introduction oh hai SMOOCH. And then yes Sweetheart and Tip. Gavotte! OoooooooooOOOOOoooooooo! I think definitely yes. 8D
