What a nice thing to read first thing in the morning! Now I want some coffee. :D

[sara_merry99]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it! :D

It is, as ever, awesome. I am so glad you came up with this AU - and just love this Vin and this Chris and their story. *Wonderful* Sara, absolutely.

You've got to look at the camera more, so you can get more inspirations! They produce the most awesome things!!!!!

THANK YOU for writing!!!!!

[sara_merry99]

Thanks!! I am *so* glad you like it, since it was for you. :D

Now long about the end of winter, Chris is going to be wondering why Vin's spending about half his nights out in the camper, sometimes with Chris, sometimes not. And then they're going to have to have the discussion about where Vin lives precisely--because Vin thinks he lives in the camper at Chris's and Chris thinks they live together. And then, because I took it out of this story because it didn't quite fit, Vin will make it clear that this is Chris's house and he's not living somewhere he can be thrown out of again.

That's not enough to hang a whole story on, but it would be great background angst for something large and involved. And large and involved with lots of angst is *your* forte, my darling. ::passes baton and scampers away so you can't give it back::

(Just leave me room for a winter story where Vin's out in the backcountry and gets injured and Chris has to lead the party to find him. I'm not sure when it will get written but it's in the back of my head.)

LOL - I tell you what. I'm having a really stressful life right now - enough so that *work* is actually the *good* part of the day (have you ever that if you're having stress in one thing that is important to you, your family falls apart at the same time?). So I'm not sure I'm up to writing the Chris-Vin-talk about living together *yet* - but I will make you this offer, one time, right now today: post me a cool camera shot and I'll write something in the next day or so to go with it. I might be short, but it will be YS, C/V and angsty.

[sara_merry99]

Oh, *hon* I'm so so sorry that things are so stressful for you right now! Is there anything *at all* that I can help with?

At the very least, I can be a sympathetic shoulder for you to vent on.

Please, let me help!

I'll find you a cool picture to write a story about. :D ::hugs:: I'll probably post a couple so you can choose.

Yay! I just read all three stories. I'm a little loopy now, seeing as it's almost 3am. :)

This is such a lovely 'verse y'all have created.

[sara_merry99]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it!! And I'm especially glad that you like the AU because it's very very dear to my heart.

There are a few more stories at Yellowstone that aren't directly part of this arc (all at Blackraptor Adult):

Boiling River (by me) (Tiny and fluffy C/V)
The Electric Peak Caper by Clara Moore (C/V case story)
Phoenix, AZ by Farad (Short piece with Chris remembering Sarah C/V)

Sassy has a delightful story called "Barkeep" that's lightly C/V. You can find it here.

And the gen story that's the foundational story for the universe:

Yellowstone Park Foundation (by me) (You can find it here.)

I'm pretty sure that's all of them, though I might have missed a gen story.

You do the Vin angst so well, and the Chris angst, too. It's amazing you can pick one little situation - Vin being told he has to move his camper - and draw so much angst from that. I really love this AU, and I'm so glad you've written another story in it. Thank you!

[sara_merry99]

Thanks so much!! I'm so glad you like it! And I'm especially glad you like the AU which is *very* close to my heart!

Thanks!

[sassyinkpen]

Mmmm...angst in spades, m'dear! It's been a while since i read any Mag7, and I forgot just how much I like it. And I really do like the AU we created. I need to get my life on straight so I can write more fanfic too, 'cause I want to play :)

Wonderful story hon!!

[sara_merry99]

Thanks!!

It's a very groovy AU we created, and I think you and Farad pretty much saved my sanity by encouraging me to work on it. Otherwise I'd have just been pining. :D

I hope you get your life on straight soon too--I love reading your writing.

::hugs::
