FF: Abeyance of Guilt

[ralst]

My entry in the Fragments of Sappho challenge:

Requester: darandkerry
Fandom & Pairing: CSI, Sara/Sofia
Prompts: Sara's apartment, margaritas
Squicks: no Catherine bashing, no mention of Grissom
Rating: whatever floats your boat
Spoilers: who cares

Fragment: I conversed with you in a dream

A/N: This probably isn't what darandkerry had in mind with the prompt, so

Re: Brava!

Thanks, I'm glad you're not too disappointed. I kept wanting to delete and write something a little more cheerful but somehow I couldn't.

first - I need a sophia icon (or a sara/sophia icon...)

next - wow

finally - WOW

but tell me there will be another part - you have left such a perfect opening for a sequel - and I doubt I'll ever look at a margarita the same way again

[ralst]

Yes, you do need a Sara/Sofia icon - there are quite a few about.

I didn't even know what a margarita was but it worked out okay - I had to totally fudge the number of digits in a US phone number though - cheers.

For a Sappho challenge fic that was amazing; so poetical (and I know that's not a real word but it's late, and I can't think of a better one!), lyrical, and just right for the scene you were expanding on and improving in the process.

I think you have these two nailed :)

[ralst]

I think poetical is a lovely word ::grin::

Thanks.

Just lovely.
I enjoy reading your fic because you use words to paint such a vivid portrait that I really can see everything clearly in my mind as I read.

If you are stumped for the ingedients in a drink, feel free to drop me a quick e-mail!

I might just do that. I think it's time the ladies had a break and a little booze cruise.

quite lovely. always wanted to delve into what that scene left to the imagination.

and, the US number thing... so cute. we appreciate your research :)

[ralst]

Ah, yes, research is my middle name *g*

Good grief... what were your parents thinking?

I love the first sentence. Its mood sets the stage very nicely for what follows. 'Autumnal beauty' is a gorgeous way to describe something. (And I like the rest of the story, too.)
