This is a crossover piece with the movie "The Notebook" that has been sitting for way way over a year on my hard drive. Originally started for the "Reel Pilots" movie crossover comm challenge, I got about halfway through it and stalled but this is probably my favorite scene. It's where Kara (Allie) meets Lee's (Noah) dad for the first time. Super rough and not edited or anything so please excuse any horrible-ness!

1/2 - because LJ comment limit!

A few weeks after they met, Kara showed up at Lee’s house. It was late in the evening when she arrived on her bike. Lee and his father were on their porch and Lee was reading aloud from a book.

“From the darkness you must fall. Failed and weak, to darkness all.” Lee’s father, Bill was the first to notice her arrival. She approached quietly from the driveway listening to the enchanted words of the poem ( ... )

Part 2/2Bill chimed back in “See when Lee was little he used to stutter real bad. It made him awfully shy and he barely liked to talk outside the house ( ... )

Awww, even when that exchange makes slightly more sense it still makes no sense :P This is charming! I love the idea for her painting.

I don't know The Notebook at all, but this is great. Kara bonding with Bill and I can just imagine little Lee with a stammer. So sweet.

And now I want pancakes. :)

This is cobbled from notes I scribbled for a Kara version of the events depicted in elzed's Decline and Fall and elly724's Circumstance Somewhere between the second and third beers, Kara forgets why she's arguing with Lee about politics. She frakking hates politics ( ... )

ugh why do I love this so much when it HURTS to read :(

callmeonetrack October 12 2012, 04:19:43 UTC

Because we are all angstwhores. It's a requirement for pilotshipping!

(But thank you! :)

Zak's Coin (non-canon character death) scifishipper October 11 2012, 23:41:55 UTC

The beginning of a fic I couldn't find an end for. Based on someone's prompt from somewhere I can't remember. #hazybrainKara stands in front of Lee's locker, fingers shaking as she reaches out to slide the latch and pop it open. It's just as she expects, uniforms in a neat row, everything else folded and in its place, the locker of a perfect soldier, ready for an inspection that will never come ( ... )

Re: Zak's Coin (non-canon character death) winegums October 11 2012, 23:48:45 UTC

Oh no, Lee's dead?! The thought of Kara going through the ritual of sorting his things for auction is such a poignant one, even if this hurts :(

Re: Zak's Coin (non-canon character death) scifishipper October 12 2012, 00:34:48 UTC

It's a thing Kara would NOT want to do, but would do anyway. (And sometimes I like to kill Lee... IDK, I've got problems. LOL)

Re: Zak's Coin (non-canon character death) embolalia October 12 2012, 01:01:21 UTC

Aww, I just want to hug her! Lovely and haunting <3

Interesting premise! Good luck :)

winegums October 12 2012, 01:13:30 UTC

you have no idea how much I love the show I'm taking the storyline from (that's the OTP in my icon), it's surprising as hell to find similarities to pilots in a couple from SUCH a different setting.

kdbleu October 12 2012, 02:12:05 UTC

Intriguing idea though. You should so try to figure out how to make it work. :D

Another fic that went nowhere, although now that I read it, I really should just write some drunken wall sex. Mmmhmm. *nods*

Kara's four drinks up on him when the room begins to spin and the drink he's about to take doesn't seem like a good idea any more.

"I think I'm drunk," he slurs, managing to put an S in the middle of the sentence ( ... )

Re: Pub Crawl winegums October 12 2012, 00:06:31 UTC

YESSSSSSSSSSS drunken wall sex is good! That is only the natural followup to this fic..

Re: Pub Crawl scifishipper October 12 2012, 00:32:11 UTC

IKR?? I think this was one of those ALMOST but never managed to focus to finish. Wall sex is always good.

Re: Pub Crawl embolalia October 12 2012, 01:03:19 UTC

Oooooh! Write it! Write it! :P
