Decisions, Chapter 2

Jul 02, 2006 22:03

This is the second chapter of Decisions. My muses dispense information to me on a need-to-know basis so I'm not sure exactly how many chapters this will end up being, but my guess is four. The first chapter is here.

No fiction I write would exist without the amazing abilities and inspiration of my beeeyoooteeeful beta chick,

Hi there, I just have to let you know that I am SO excited that Ch 2 is up as I only finished the whole thing Plans and Decisions about an hour ago!

So just to put you in the picture, you may recognize me, I am a constant commenter on many fics, but especially in vamphile's where you are too. I have been too busy lately (aren't we all) and so did not have time to keep up with too many fics!! *hangs head* But I am now on holidays and saved yours as it was being pimped everywhere (SO deservedly) till now, like Visible, as a reward!

Sooooooooooo let me set the scene, it is Winter here (but prolly the same temp there), I copy everything that I have to catch up with onto my laptop and I stay in bed for 2 days practically. Today it was your turn (and not in weird non LAW) I am lying there the sun is streaming in, I am cozy and I start your fic HOLY SHIT!!!! IT IS FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!!

I am SO glad I waited sound like a 17 yr old virgin so that I could read it as a complete work. It is wonderful...mmmmm, so the sun is warm and the fic is good ( ... )

OH! Wow. OK, you really really really know how to feed a writer!

I'm totally overjoyed at your feedback and I'm so glad you like this story... I'm loving it too.

*wipes tear of joy*

THANK YOU!

I was married for a long time, and if I stayed up too late, my husband would come looking to make sure I was all right. I've replaced him with a Nag Cat. The Nag Cat wanted me to join him in bed just as I started reading. I might go along with a husband, but a Nag Cat has no leverage.

What a great chapter! Funny and sweet and sentimental and sad. Perfect.

It involved maps, yelling, slammed glove compartment doors, and threats of death. Plus more yelling.

This is exactly what travel with my husband was like. I hate to read maps; he wanted to know every road and highway we'd take, right down to how far down the block our destination was. Travel tended to clarify our relationship.

Oh, yes: I officially love Kalli. Kalli can stay. FanSee

Thank you thank you, hon! It means so much coming from you!

All my life my dogs and cats have nagged me and me, well, when you say "pussy whipped" it's me. And not in a PLAW. ;)

I miss your grammatical analyses of my porn.

OMFG WOMAN!

You’re amazing. a) funny, how the hell do you get Ted so well? so fucking perfect. And Melanie, and well, you’ve got Justin down. Just… Justin all deceitful and open and conniving and honest and loving at the same time.

And then there’s Brian, you just…KNOW him, and that’s what I love in a good fic. It’s not just the surface stuff, you get the snark and the insecurity and the confusion and the swagger and I just see them and it works.

Like this

I shrugged and turned the chair around to look at the shelves behind the desk. “Justin’s dancing with Emmett.”

Ted nodded. “Yeah, I try not to be seen dancing with the two of them, it can really destroy what little self-confidence I have.”

turned my chair back around to face him. “So, did you give everyone photos of Justin or just a general description?”

He didn’t even pretend not to know what I was talking about. “We showed a fifteen-minute instructional video.” Love how comfortable Ted and Brian are together. Love how Brian puts it all together to know Ted said ( ... )

And then this bit…
I know people think sometimes that I’m being stubborn or cold when people need things from me, but most of the time I just feel like my mind is a blank and my instincts go quiet and the only safe thing to do is nothing. To not give the answer or read the script. And for Justin there are times I’ve tried to push past that and find the words or actions he’s asking for. But right then he wasn’t asking for anything. And I had to figure out what he needed, when he had no idea, and neither did I. Because I’m selfish and I couldn’t stand seeing him like that.

and all the fun emotional stuff that comes after it. it’s just beautiful. Every time I think “that’s Brian in a nutshell” you write something else that makes me realize that Brian has a really big nutshell… and that sounds dirty but maybe it isn’t…then again it’s Brian, maybe it is.

whispered into his ear again. “It’s not just you who wants it, Justin.” mmmmmm, perfect last line ( ... )

OK, you don't just write killer fiction that seeps into my brain and refuses to leave I really love, but you write killer feedback. THANK YOU.

Although don't you know it's rude to be funnier in your feedback than I was in my story? I'm going to give you feedback on your feedback now! OMG this cracked me up:

if there’s something more fun than drunk/stoned Justin and vaguely amused/turned on Brian I don’t know what it is.

I swear I’d make Justin a raging alcoholic/drug addict if I had him high and drunk as often as I liked. And he’d still be pretty.

ROFL... oh god. We are as one.

long haired drunk funny rambling justin... mmmm that's good fic.
