So, yeah. This left me rather emotionally frayed. Which surprised me to a degree given that I was fairly skeptical of this pairing initially, but I guess all you have to do is write about nightmares involving teeth falling out and you've sucked me in. Pretty sympathetic take on Bumgarner, and a believably traumatizing version of Buster. I was sort of heart-wrenched for both of them by the end. Also I'm watching the Giants game, with Bumgarner on the mound and Posey catching him and it's kind of a lot under the circumstances.
Anyway-
Bumgarner concocts fantastical daydreams about the two of them getting stuck in an elevator, or maybe there will be an earthquake and somehow in the chaos and wholesale collapse they'll be unhurt but trapped together under an aesthetically pleasing pile of rubble, and Posey won't be able to pretend he's not there. But mostly he just lets Posey ignore him.That line was absolutely spectacular. I read it several times, shared it with others, etc

dude! the dream about the teeth falling out was literally in the initial idea, which was: quick and dirty intro to madison and buster. adrenaline, just kinda keep going until your hands are in pants and there is weirdness. dreams about your teeth falling out, and pitching naked.
(i really have to stop setting myself the impossible goal of "quick" stories.)
awesome that you picked that out, and hee, the daydreaming about romantic catastrophic situations is something i do all the damn time. i have basically been ruined by seeing 'speed' too many times. thanks a bunch, man.
hee! completely valid. i was so excited about finally getting the youngsters into the mix, brave new world and all. also, southern boys! what's not to love.
also, for the, you know, seven or eight years there where all i wrote was a's fic (with some noah lowry thrown in for flavor), i always felt like i was being a terribly bad giants fan, because naturally the team you are obsessively writing slash fic about is the team that will get more of your attention. then, over comes zito, up comes lincecum, and everything's in a whole new light.
anyway, thanks very much for all this enthusiasm and awesomeness, as it is great.
aw, madison will be okay! he has got that steely glare, and balls of steel, and other steel things. buster is definitely a mystery to me at this point, but i usually solve that problem by writing lots more of a dude, so hopefully that will happen here too.
thanks for reading, and leaving such a nice note! not so much thanks for putting zito/rowand into my head (though i love me some a-row, nobody's trying to see that guy naked).
heh, it amuses me that tim lincecum already got a couple of happy(ish) endings from me, but of course as soon as madison bumgarner's on the scene, it's right back to my old angst habits. puppy dog eyes! how can a person resist piling angst on the one with the puppy dog eyes!
(Heh, I skimmed to the endnote and saw you mentioned Zito and am forced to beg you again for present-time Billy Beane/Barry Zito and or the final POV on Revisionist History and now I'm going to actually go read this half, because the first half was fantastic.)
and then i got distracted by another story. i don't even think i finished that damn story. but i am bound and determined to finish this one, i don't care how long it takes.
also, there is a new AU percolating in which there is also going to be zeane--i do think of them as my mlb otp despite there being, like, four stories total, which is such a shame.

Ps. OMFG, the moment I read Zito's name I was like, HE'S GOT TO NAIL MADDY! But I'll settle for Buster, no probs. Hehehe.
