1. The work that PP does makes it absolutely one of my favorite organizations, and you totally rock for working there. As if you didn't rock before.
2. I know nothing about In Plain Sight (except that it's the one with Mary McCormack, right?), but your descriptions of the various types of love were all kinds of warm and fuzzy.
3. IOWA. My love knows no bounds.
4. ... ... okay, now I ship Sam/Jeannie. A lot.
5. Oh, Ianto.
6. On a slightly tangentially related note, I totally BARROWMAN!!!-ed one of my roommates today.
1. I left on not-so-good terms, but the work they do is STILL enough to get me to donate on a regular basis. And I hold a mean grudge, so that's saying a lot.
2. In Plain Sight is wonderful, and not just because Mary McCormack is smoking hot. But, oh man, she totes is.
3. THIS ONE WAS SO HARD. IOWA!SAM WOULDN'T SHUT UP. The first draft was over 400 words long. ARGH. SAM.
4. I want actual Sam/Jeannie porn. Like, really badly.
5. Oh man, the first draft of this one had 5000% more ridiculous banter. "I think you're more concerned for the well being of my coat than you are for my well being."
"Your thick skull will knit itself back together. When you ruin the coat like that, it's never the same."
"I think you love the coat more than you love me."
"I do."
"....I was kind of expecting a denial there."
"Sorry to hurt your feelings, sir."
6. I AM GOING TO BED FOR REAL. I still have two more days of the week to get through D:
These are all wonderful! Oh, man. I haven't watched IPS since Season 1, but I love Mary's stretchy sweater love for Marshall :)
Of course you know I adore Iowa!Sam and Will, and how Sam is the tentative one about their relationship, and Will is the one who sees so clearly.
But I think my favourite is Sam/Jeannie, because hell yeah, smart scientist girls saving each other from men staring at their boobs! I've never read much femslash, but I would totally start with those two. *g*
I used to ship Mary/All The Boys and Some Ladies, but I have slowly started to slide into Mary/Marshall. And Mary/Marshall/Bobby D. But I still want Mary/Bobby D and Mary/Raph and Mary/All the Ladies She Slept With Oh Man She's So Bi In This Show Really!
But I'm glad you liked them! Iowa!Sam would NOT shut up. I complained about him on Twitter for like, an hour, because I had a super hard time getting that one down to 200.
That last one, I admit, I was laughing, because it's just so them, and I truly loved those scenes best, their banter. (And this actually vaguely reminds me of the first episode of season two, which makes no sense because that's when they were at their most awkward with each other. :/) But of course, thanks to CoE, it's slightly bittersweet - but I like how you didn't let that in there, how it was just all about that moment there. Which was possibly one of the beauties of their relationship.
So, yeah. *nods* This part? May be my favourite. (Mainly because I have an image of him showing off and backflipping off the roof.) "See you around, Gorgeous," Jack says, throwing Ianto a messy salute and a saucy wink, before leaping off the roof and onto the salivating alien in the alleyway below.
Hee, I'm glad! I was really going for a lighter sort of hilarity with them. I mean, I'm trying to write 50 (double) drabbles about leaving and there are only so many ways couples can leave each other, but Jack presents a unique opportunity that no other character can offer. I almost HAD to do something light and hilarious that also included death, you know?
Or, something. I'm very tired. But thank you for reading and for your awesome comment! I'm glad you liked it!
