Mick's Education, part 8

Apr 01, 2008 23:12

Mick stopped in the entryway and worked off his own shoes, kicking them aside. He couldn’t decide-upstairs to the bedroom? Outside to the pool? As he hesitated, Coraline unbuttoned the parts of his shirt that she could reach and began to kiss his chest and neck. Mick decided to go outside, where they could enjoy the night air. He strode ( Read more... )

Yes, I admit I read this only because you wrote it. So I knew it would be good, even though I have zero interest in Coraline stories. It did provide good background character development to show how Mick was shaped. That is definitely a talent of yours.

Oh, what an adorable winged pig!

Thank you SO much for reading it. I know I'm on a very unpopular subject, but to me it's such an incredibly important part of what makes Mick MICK...there had to be a story to why he loved her so much...and why she loved him enough to marry him! I've been trying to show the cracks in the foundation that doomed the relationship from the start, despite their wish for it to succeed. In my mind, it took probably a year for Mick to truly give up on the marriage, because he really is a "till death us do part" type of guy...but they were just too different from the get-go, and Coraline was simply too self-involved, arrogant, and just plain damaged to be any kind of wife for a true-blue type like Mick. Anyway, this is my long-winded way of thanking you VERY much for reading it, despite the Cora-ick factor. *hug*

Finally! I got a chance to read this! Awesome job. And you are well aware of my hatred of...She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named! Loved Josef in this too! "You turned a fucking Boy Scout into a vampire": Best Josef line, ever! LOL!

Anyway, two things I'd be really interested in seeing you tackle: 1) the toll Coraline's head games took our favorite vamp. How do they get from this to "one big happy family"/fire.

2) I know I've said this already but you really need to write a Mick/Beth story. A long one. Pretty please? :)

Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, and I KNOW how you hate Ms. Evil, so I take your compliment as a REAL compliment. :)

I think the toll-on-Mick stuff is going to start in my Guillermo story. I'm not sure how it's gonna work, but it's percolating. And I do want to write a long Mick/Beth story. My real fear is of the procedural parts. I am really not interested in that sort of stuff, so I don't know how to tackle it. But it's on my to-do list...

OK, I'm really looking forward to this Guillermo story now! :)

You don't have to have procedural elements in your Mick/Beth story. I've seen plenty without it. I just like to write mine that way, for some reason...
