Unfinished Business Fic Meme

[upupa_epops]

I am the kind of person who always has a ton of unfinished fic projects. Some are fairly new, some -- not so much. Every once in a while I go through my fic folder, and try to finish some WIPs that got abandoned somewhere on the way. Now seems to be the time to do this again, but I have tons of trouble mustering up any fandom motivation. I thought

TVD, Damon/Elena, NC-17 (AU in which Elena has sex with Damon in 3x19)

She shouldn't be doing this.

She tries telling herself that she doesn't care, but that's not entirely true. She cares. She cares so much it chokes her, so much she doesn't even know where to start untangling the hot mess of questions, doubts and trespasses in her mind.

So she cuts it in half.

Damon's hands feel different than she expected, softer and more restless. She pulls back to look at him again, and this time there's no flick of panic in his eyes. He gives her a wicked smile and pulls up her leg to grind into her, but Elena catches his hand and moves it up so he can cup her ass again.

(Here. Her name is Elena Gilbert, and she's been thinking about how Damon's hand would feel on her ass.)

He has the decency to not ask “Are you sure?” when she unzips his pants, and it's a good thing, because she isn't. She isn't, and that's the beauty of it, the thrill of small kisses and shaking hands, new, all new, she's allowed to feel something new.

They can't quite peel her tight jeans off her, urgent fingers colliding, so she gives Damon a playful kiss and spins around, hands resting on the pillar. She hears him gasp when she bends.

I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR A LONG TIME, TBH

PUBLIC SEX ON HOTEL BALCONIES!!!!!!!

[upupa_epops]

I AM UTTERLY CONVINCED THAT THIS IS WHAT SHE MEANT TO DO!

Maybe I should rewatch 3x19 while sobbing and eating ice cream, and then try to finish this.

[scorpiod1]

I THOUGHT THOSE WERE HER INTENTIONS AS WELL (until Jeremy cockblocked her). THE MORE S4 WENT ON, THE MORE CONVINCED I BECAME THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST FUCKED ON THE BALCONY

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HOT AND PERFECT.

I support you finishing this tonight :DDDD

[upupa_epops]

SHE SO SHOULD HAVE! Jeremy Gilbert, you have the worst timing.

More like next week :D. But plans are being had!

This is awesome. I love the idea of this being why she went outsie and there were so many lines that stood out and its just snippet. I especially love thsses two.

She cares so much it chokes her, so much she doesn't even know where to start untangling the hot mess of questions, doubts and trespasses in her mind.

So she cuts it in half.

Thank you! I think she definitely decided to sleep with him, just because she wanted to stop wondering about it. To burn all the bridges.

This is so delightful, bb.

I feel like I should tell you to finish. But also it feels so complete as is... so I am torn between needing more and LOVING IT LIKE POISON.

[upupa_epops]

I wanted there to be much more. I wanted the consequences, you know? An alternative ending for s3, the whole emotional fallout. So, I definitely want more.

[kwritten]

Ah yes... I see.

That's a huge undertaking!

[upupa_epops]

Well, not THAT huge... 2-3k, I think? 5k tops?

[kwritten]

I think I meant "huge" not in a word count way, but in a "weight" and depth sort of way? ((It's the kind of project I'd start and then avoid, anyway.))

[upupa_epops]

Yep, it's emotionally heavy. But, frankly, I'm so tired of s4-specific angst that a s3-based disaster seems so appealing and refreshing!

[kwritten]

that a s3-based disaster seems so appealing and refreshing!

I OBVIOUSLY APPROVE OF YOUR LIFE CHOICES!

Let's hope the motel wasn't busy then. :)

[upupa_epops]

Or that Damon's famously short fuse really is that short ;).
