new fic!
So, I totally meant to make a wedding-things post. And I will. Except I got up this morning to work on The Next One With The Porn (I should really make a masterlist of these, shouldn't I? there are...six parts, counting this one, now), and then bits of something else kept appearing in my head, and so I wrote that instead (and I blame the hormones

I'm so sorry for James meeting the fucking bastard who hurt him like this... It doesn't matter how much he says it's ok, it's obviously not ok, mr. McAvoy. Michael should've killed that prick, bet everyone around here would help him to burn or hide the corpse, or feed it to savage animals.
But anyway, he proposed, and WHAT A PROPOSAL! Loved it.
I'm happy. REALLY happy, your fics have the power to always make me happy, they're better than candies, vacation and sunlight.
This was amazing. Truly. ♥

Michael does have the weirdest sense of timing ever. But it DOES always work out. Because life is like that, all awkward and unplanned and just right anyway. :-)
James is, really, pretty much fine. He rescued himself then, and he knows that, and he has Michael now, and all the love, ever. It's just that sometimes the unexpected encounters are the worst, knocking you off balance when you don't see them coming. (And sometimes I worry about my brain. Poor James, I don't mean to do all the terrible things to him...) But yes, proposal. Because Michael will do everything he can, anything he can, to show James how much he loves him. Including making a perfect moment out of a painful one.
Thank you again for reading! and for beautiful compliments! Am smiling at the laptop screen now. :-)

I think this is one of the things I'm fond of in your stories: they feel real, life-like. It's not something easy to do, lady, and you master this art doubtlessly.
Well, to ask him to keep himself tied together after bumping into the man like that would be a little too much, for sure. But this is it, he has Michael, and he's doing great with him, so this is what truly matters. By the way, no need to worry about your brain, it's fine, James has a thing that begs people to do terrible things to him, so it's not your brain's fault.
Michael is the partner every human should find to share a lifetime. He has this superpower to find something to do and, yes, make perfect moments out of nowhere, out of painful ones and confuse ones. It's an ability more people should have, geez, life would be easier with this. Brighter, at least.
Oh, good you're smiling! Now you know exactly how I feel! /o/

James has a thing that begs people to do terrible things to him ...yes, yes he does. So clearly it is HIS fault. :-p And, yes, the love is the most important part. The only really important part. And they can heal, if they need to, together.
It IS a nice superpower, isn't it? I do rather like him in this 'verse, if that's not weird to say about one's own character! He's very not perfect--especially not with that sense of timing!--but he's trying so hard to be. :-)

There are at least two more stories, I think--one that's almost done, hopefully today or tomorrow, and then one more. And then we'll see; if I have more ideas, and people continue to enjoy...
Thanks again for reading! and for lovely comments! :-)

Although now I am simultaneously looking forward to and dreading the Continuation of Doom...

Actually, of course, I've been doing a re-read too, and I really DO want to tweak the first one a bit...just because I'd no idea where this series was going when I started, and there are things that need to be updated. (Though I do have an odd affection for that one. First porn ever!)
...I think that's how I feel about writing it! I want to, because I have The Ideas, but I don't want to, because The Ideas demand that some really horrible things happen along the way...Here, let me offer a first-draft part of them ( ... )

But this...this...it hurts. God... But in a satisfying (sorry, can't use the word 'good') way. I am looking forward to reading the whole thing though...
I have to say, I always found that I could only write the really angsty stuff when I was feeling kind of down myself - that way I could just shove all my feelings out on to the page. It was kind of cathartic. But I sincerely hope that this is not the situation you're in with the CoD!

Aww, thank you! *smiles at laptop* I will get to the tweaking of things...not until after tomorrow, though! *is nervous* Ah, guest lecture time. I must be An Authority. *looks for Professor Hat*
...hey, I didn't give you the rest of this scene, at least. I think I scared myself, and then ran away to write the fluffy thing. I think at least this first story is almost done, though it won't exactly have a happy ending, though obviously there is more or less a rescue...
Cathartic...well, not to that extreme, anyway (though that has sometimes been true with other fic); but I think fic writing in general helps distract me from the other academic nervousness. Like, if I can think about the fictional people, and create and then solve their crises, maybe my own aren't as stressful? Or something? :-)
(Also, I'm going to use CoD as an abbreviation from now on. As long as no one thinks I mean randomly-capitalized fish.)

(Well, okay, technically it was a pretty good night anyway--hanging out with friends pre-wedding festivities--but still an extra-nice comment to see!)
I love the idea that this one's so re-readable! Sometimes I think I should've just stopped there, and not given in to the temptation of the Continuation...they're so perfectly joyful together. Cruel author is cruel. :-/ But they're going to be happy again! Very soon! *hugs you, offers tissues* Here, this should help (from a bit later, not this next story, of course):

“So…how do you want…do you want me on top? Like this? Or do you want to, um…” He ran out of words. Made a vague gesture with the other hand, hopefully indicating do you want me to lie down and let you be on top of me and in control? and James made an amused noise in response ( ... )

Hahaha I would be a ginormous hypocrite if I protested the CoD since I freely admit to being an evil enabler. But it's so much fun to watch them get put back together after near destruction! (Obviously I'm a terrible person. Oh well.)
Oooo I think that's very realistic, that some positions will feel safer than others, especially at first. And Michael is so tender and amazing and I love that they can still laugh in bed, because these things SHOULD have love and laughter attached to them, no matter what. And slightly-snarky but also heartfelt James is incredibly awesome :D

But it's so much fun to watch them get put back together after near destruction! Oh, it is. Just so emotionally satisfying, somehow. They are so attractive through all the hurt/comfort. And the genre itself is about hope! (And, if you are, I'm even more so--I'm WRITING it!)
I'm glad that part felt realistic! I did think about it for a while, and it made sense in my head, that James would be more comfortable in a position in which he had more control (and that wasn't the same position he'd been, ah, put in by That Person, for those things) and Michael is just so amazedly thankful that they're trying this at all that he'll say yes to anything James wants.
these things SHOULD have love and laughter attached to them, no matter what. Yes. Yes they should. Sex should be FUN. And they're getting that back, slowly. With each other.
And James is definitely better, at this point. Not quite the same--that's not ever necessarily achievable--but very much better, and still with that ( ... )
