Fic: Force Of Habit 3/3

Third reel!

I have really enjoyed writing this story. And I think it's not bad. The title's apt; I may have a new, hard-to-shake habit. Thanks for reading, guys.

Chaos in process, but clockwork in hindsight.

This is just X-Factor in a nutshell, isn't it?

What was left of the warehouse, stabbing up from the ground in crumpled ruins, looked like something designed by Frank Gehry.

YOU MADE AN ARCHITECTURE JOKE. Marry me.

It was, Jamie realised, a beautiful afternoon: steel-blue sky and an autumn moon and late sun lengthening the rooftops' shadows and fewer guns and gangsters in the universe than there had been this morning. And his team was horrible, and insubordinate, and awesome; exactly the kind of team he'd wanted, perhaps even the kind of team he deserved.

The fact that this made me want to cry is a testament to your writing skills. :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really loved putting this together, so it's wonderful to know it entertained other people too. Yeah, I kind of felt I should give Jamie a moment of serenity after the day he'd had ;) And I'm glad you enjoyed my architecture dorkery XD

Really, thanks so much for the feedback, it means a lot at this early stage in my fic writing <3

It has been an honour and a privilege to be able to read this. :D

Oh, thank you so much! I thoroughly enjoyed writing it so I'm very happy it worked for other people too. Thanks for reading <3

As always, I love it! Funny, well-written, awesome characterization and you saved the hat!
So many bonus points for the karaoke reference. So many.

Thank you so much! Yes, 'Star made sure the hat lived to fight another day. Ric probably wouldn't have worn it after the initial teasing of Jamie, but 'Star kept telling him how awesome he looked :D

Peter David once answered a question about karaoke on his blog and the idea stuck with me - he said what he thought everybody would sing, but the corny 'Me, Myself and I' gag is all mine ;) (PAD's answer is linked somewhere on the RicStar comm, I think)

TEQUILA. :joy:

baahahahahahahahahaa

also: talk to the hat.

brilliant, really, all around <3

Heehee! That tequila is totally yours XD. Thanks so much for reading! Really happy you enjoyed it <3

(The notion of writing a hungover epilogue has been nagging at me XD)

He vaguely remembers something about Rictor's shapely feet....

kiev4am December 15 2011, 14:02:30 UTC

Ahahaha. Of course! We know he will find a way to get the tequila eventually, when everyone's too hammered to stop him. He's strategic like that XD

Guh, holy shit, this was so good. I went in not expecting much - lot of action, blah blah, but your descriptions sucked me in, and you put just the right amount of emotion into the writing. And again, the dialogue is humorous and very much in character. This was so much fun to read ♥

Aw, thanks so much :) It's only my 2nd fanfic, so I felt I was cutting my teeth, but I really loved writing it. Alongside the main story, I kind of threw in a whole lot of little bits of head-canon that have been rattling around my head for ages. I'm happy you felt the voices were in character! Thanks again <3
