Title: The Wall Author: world_of_blade Pairing: Sheppard/Weir Rating: PG-13 Warnings: Domestic Abuse A/N Huge thanks to mcsnapdragon for her beta skills. This is for sparktober and my Bingo Card. The word? Alternate Universe.
WHOA. That was uncomfortable to read - in a good way, which means it pushed all sorts of buttons and left me with ton of questions. It reminds me of those twisted Star trek alternate universes. While I don't write stuff like this (because I am all about happy endings), I really admire a story that can pull off something like this - it's not that these characters are OOC, they're not - IMO. They seem more like a mirror image of themselves, with same traits arranged in a different, considerably darker way.
This is going to sound dumb, but you don't know how much I needed this feedback from you! *hugs* (Okay, now I am not going to be a scary type person for the rest of my comment)
I've been worried ever since I posted it that I went too far.
Thank you so much! Everything you said was exactly what I was going for. :)
*hugs back* Heh, I think it would take much much more to be too disturbing for me - it may be that my tolerance for stuff like domestic abuse is - uh - bigger? - is that the right word - than average person's. If you want I can explain in more detail through PM. (and did you need this type of feedback from someone, or me in particular? I don't find your comemnt really scary.)
Anyway, I think that not all stories should leave us with the feeling of happy and fuzzy. Not all stories are meant to be like that. Some of them should push buttons - after all, the world we live in isn't always a pleasant place.
Yeah i think you definitely got all of those across, well at least it worked for me. :)
I just needed the type of feedback you gave me from anyone. :)
I also totally agree that not all fic needs to be happy- but I still worried when I posted this one. Then I forgot to put any type of warning on it, and had to be reminded (rightfuly so) to put a warning, and that seemed to start off all my worrying about going to far.
Great job! *claps*
