[koalathebear]

Just passing by tonight (I can't read everything in detail), but the links to the pic fic don't work, hon.

[koalathebear]

Hmmm thanks. Fixed now. I have so many Invisible Things in my LJ that I sometimes forget to unlock them when I'm supposed to do so!

That was beautiful, really beautiful :) It must have taken you for ever to cap all these!

Apollo's look of contempt and his words in "Home 2" kind of got to me. It was then that I started playing with the idea of having him fall hard for someone he never could have...I'm a bit of sucker for the long, dark looks that Apollo and Sharon give one another. Sparks and antagonistic chemistry appeal to me.

same here :P I hope you write more :D

It did take most of the weekend - I had major panda eyes by the end but you know how it is when a project takes over and it just wants to be finished :) Fortunately I was killing two birds with one stone because I was doing the caps for the 'Apollo/Sharon' scenes posts.

Then again, there were a lot of caps I used in that that were not used for the story. Similarly, I did a lot of caps for the story that weren't in the Apollo/Sharon caps since I cheated and threw in 'other scenes' ;)

As always, petite petitevanou - thanks for your feedback. Deux personnes avec les nommes francaises!? Then again I suppose 'Vauxhall Cross' would technically be Vauxhall du Croix' if we were being totally French ;)

Ok, this was totally cool. Loved the third part,especially around this part "I can't tell you when love began. I don't know."

On some levels, I just don't understand Apollo, and that's probably why I don't completely get the ship. But based on what I do understand, I think this is actually pretty believable for him. He seems to have an obsession with things he can't have or can't change, and Sharon would fall solidly in both categories. :)

OMG....Koala inspiring a Apollo/Sharon fic...must not write it...must not...must...nooooooo.....

[petitevanou]

*hehem* *yes yes,You know you want to write an apollo/sharon fic :P*

[koalathebear]

I wrote you a reply but it was too long for the comments so I amended the original post about the story and whacked it up there ;)

Mmmm...a new Unconventional ship to cling to. To be honest, I hadn't thought of these two before, but your series of pic fics makes a powerful argument in their favor. ;) I loved how you covered every possible aspect of the Apollo/Sharon ship and everything was entirely believable...not too mention a lot heartbreaking. Great stuff -- thank you for sharing this.

See ma, not jumping ship, not going anywhere!
You better not! *resolves to keep eye on koalathebear* ;)

[koalathebear]

Eep thank you :) Coming from someone as artistic as you that means a lot. I'm not artistic but fortunately I don't have to be because the cameraman already did all the hard work and I just have to select the stills which best help me tell the story I wanted to tell. :)

The Apollo/Sharon thing never occurred to me until Home 2 but after that when I went back - I discovered that these two had actually had quite a long history together and been through quite a lot together which is why Apollo probably felt the 'betrayal' quite strongly. Boomer was basically his lieutenant whenever it wasn't Kara so although it always was on a work level, she was always there.

Glad you found it plausible. I love dark angst as much as I love fluffy wuffy goodness.

Thanks again! :)

Thats completly amazing, just when I though I have seen it all you show me something I would have never dreamed of and something beautiful, and as was said above actually beleavable for the character. I guess that would explain the sexual frustation every time he looks at her.

I liked the Sharon Saves the day again, BTW.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. To be honest, the 'Sharon saves the day' line was taken from one of your posts' headings.

[weissman]

Thanks, I kind of figured that , and it made perfect sense in your piece. You have to wonder what does go through the Characters (Lees) mind. Sharon has saved his life three times, one way or another.

[koalathebear]

:) I probably should have asked your permission first. Heh heh but it just seemed like the perfect line to use. I liked the idea that the new Sharon - just like the old Sharon - was there saving everyone yet again :) There was just a nice continuity in the character.
