fic & celebrations

[belantana]

What is the chance of two people on my flist having the same birthday? I make it something less than half-a-percent. Yet, today is the birthday of both delgaserasca and emptyyourlife! *throws streamers and balloons* I hope both of you had/have a great day.

This is the seventh Life fic I have written since February. I don't mean seven re-writes, I mean seven entirely

omgggggggggg I HOPE YOU DIDN'T DELETE THE OTHERS! This is so great! Crews pushing proverbial buttons, Dani not hungover, JAILHOUSE ROCK OMG. Dani never flinches, goddamn.

(Also: happy birthday emptyyourlife! Did you know we share a birthday with Stephen Fry, AS Byatt and JORGE LUIS BORGES? REPRESENT.)

Girl, I hope my package gets to you soon :(((( *HUGS*

[belantana]

Ahahahaha oh dear I KNEW this would happen. Guess what was sitting in my letterbox when I got home just now. YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[delgaserasca]

IT GOT THERRRRRRRRRE!

[belantana]

Aw, this is not right! it's your birthday but I got the presents! I'm so glad you liked the fic; your lovely comment is making me very happy. And as for helping an appalling cheapskate such as myself continue in appalling cheapskatery, you are a darling and I thank you a thousand times.

*hugs back!*

[emptyyourlife]

Thankyou so much! That's so very kind of you :)

[belantana]

I hope your day was excellent. *g*

YOU WROTE LIFE FIC! And I was away and missed it. Typical.

I am so excited. Where are the other six, madam? I love this. I love Reese who doesn't have a hangover and doesn't flinch. And I love Jailhouse Rock. And I love Crews messing with her, but only just up to a point.

Oh, and I sense you may be up to date with S2 soon? More fic, possibly, may ensue?

[belantana]

Haha, thanks! The other six are looking even less worthy of publication now that I've seen some of series 2 (how is that earthquake episode so damn good? and why have I developed an incredible fondness for the plainly repulsive Tidwell?) - but yes, more fic, most probably, when I've finished catching up. This is just too much fun!

[afiakate]

Uh. <- momentary incoherence

This. Was. Amazing.

I have shied away from "Life" fic because both Reese and Crews have such unique ways of speaking (says this American). You did an excellent job catching them-this could have been a magnicificent, "lost" episode of Life, they sound so right. Brava.

PS of course he likes Jailhouse Rock

[belantana]

Thank you! Oh, this comment totally made my day. I was so unsure about the voices and now you tell me they are great and !!!!!!!!! I am so pleased. *g*

As for it being a missing episode, I hadn't seen any of series 2 when I wrote it but somehow it ended up being a mashup between the birthday ep and the tribute band ep? I have no idea how that happened. But maybe that is why it seems familiar? :D

(PS. I keep forgetting that it's not actually a secret that I'm writing you fic. Thus I am going to status-report to you that I have three half-written fics, but unfortunately none of the halves fit together, so.)

[afiakate]

No, it seems familiar because you wrote them RIGHT. I really liked "Powerless," and this is such a lovely follow-up.

Also, kind of a non-sequitar, but...Crews' intonation and inflection and timbre really reminds me of Jimmy Stewart. I didn't think I could love him more, and then my mind made that weird connection this weekend, and then I did love him more. :-)

Thank you for the status report. The Yuletide fic that I'm writing is also a hot mess, so at least we're in the same boat! To be honest, though, I have every confidence in you. And I give you permission to mess with my prompt however you see fit.

[belantana]

How great was "Powerless"? Ahh, there are so many things I want to re-watch at the moment! That and the earthquake episode are my absolute favourites.

I haven't heard of Jimmy Stewart, but google shows me that he the sort of dashing fellow I should probably get to know. Especially if he makes you love Crews more. (It is possible?)

I am sort of glad that you're keeping me company in the fic troubles. But I am sure you will find your way out soon! You have been on such a good fic-run of late. Thanks for the vote of confidence; the problem is mainly that your prompts are so weird & interesting that they sparked off in three different directions. *wrestles*
