fic: the secret's in the telling

[youcallitwinter]

It starts like this: they’re fighting.

That’s pretty much a given, considering it’s them, but this is old and new all at once.

She’s screaming at him because he paid off the eleventeen hundred and seventy third (yeah, he’s definitely lost count here) guy she’d been dating, that’s old. And he’s looking at her mouth and pretending to himself he’s not,

Oh wow, this was awesome! (and hey, good Boone fic is always welcome with yours truly. ;) I really liked the style here, it was sparse but it really worked. And I liked how you worked with glimpses and still managed to get the story through. Also their dialogue is totally spot on and I really like how you write him. It's a pretty awesome voice. :) And I loved the starting/ending lines, they really worked for this. I loved it!

Haha, this is so short because I'm all like 'NEW FANDOM, YOU'RE SCARY' D: I'm a Vampire Diaries fan so as much as I pretended to watch LOST because it'a a huge part of pop-culture, I'm pretty sure the real (shallower) reason was Ian. But now I'm genuinely interested! And the Boone/Shannon dynamic is too interesting to not explore, although I'm dreading him dying end first season. Thanks so much! :)

Oh I totally get it - OMG SCARY is pretty much my default with new fandoms. And I started watching VD because Boone used to be my favorite and I'd been waiting for Ian to get a serious show since I got hooked on Lost. Which was like after S3, but whatever. You're in for a ride though. ;) (and oh dear haha I went into it being like 'DON'T GET ATTACHED YOU KNOW HE DIES' and clearly I did. Good luck with that bit.) And Boone/Shannon is awesome. :)

I KNOW, IT SUCKS. It's like I'm all "OMG I LOVE BOONE" and all the while I'm remembering Ian saying that his character survived a three thousand feet plane crash and then died falling thirty feet off a beach craft, and then I dread watching further episodes. I just hope there's another Boone/Shannon back!story episode left for me! [And I always ship the doomed ship in every fandom, this was a given :s]

The best part is how they pop up here and there through the series. There's one episode in S3 where we see them at the airport again, and even though in real time it had been YEARS since you'd seen them together, it was so one of those classic LOST moments. Boone! Shannon! I missed you so much!

The best part of about dying on LOST meant that you were most likely going to turn up again!

Ooh, I did not know that! But that is so awesome, because I would hate to get majorly invested in characters just to have them die on me (that's the worst of TVD as well!) but even if you just get glimpses, it somehow just makes everything better :D
