A little over a month didn’t sound like much, but with the way that Laura could find fault with a man successfully getting through a first date was like running a gauntlet. Any relationship making it past a week needed to be measured in dog years to properly be appreciated.
Despite the crackaliciousness, this is so, so true.
I truly believe poor Richard to be one of the most misunderstood, maligned characters of the series. I think season 4 Laura had a much better appreciation of him and the hard decisions he had to make.
Btw, (sorry for flooding with the comments ><") the ending is priceless. I wish we could have seen more of the inbetween and so-called "Frik" and "Frak" confession/unveiling-by-date.
Please don't ever apologize for flooding with comments. I love comments! They are great encouragement. I'm so glad you have been enjoying the things I've been posting.
For what its worth in BtP this is actually part of a chain of Laura's relationships going horribly wrong and there is more on Frik and Frak's motivation for what they did and mention of their possible punishments. This just seemed like the cleanest place to clip things.
Very nice! I enjoyed this very much. But I sometimes read too fast and read the line "Let's go frak with him." as "Let's go frak him." Well the next 10 lines threw me right off. I had to go back and re-read that part. LOL!!
I ♥ this! So much so, that I had to hunt up your other fic featuring not-Stan. I love the wryness of Laura's humour. It's so funny how character development progresses in a show. I could never see miniseries-Laura dating like this, but after some of her deadpan deliveries in the later seasons and season 4-flashback Laura, I can absolutely see this.
The comments by you and mary_me11 made me realize I never did unlock the finished Stan By Your Man bit that has the second half of it. If you want it head back a month + to http://mascaret.livejournal.com/27828.html
I'm glad the dating bit works for you. I do worry that it might be seen as out of character, but on the other hand people weren't always the people they are today ... or in Laura's case several million years ago.

Unbelievably enough -- you even make me like Richard, and like to see him interact with Laura.
