fic: from what i've tasted of desire (i hold with those who favor fire)

[youcallitwinter]

you guys, I'm the actual worst. I was planning on silently writing short pieces in the ficathon (actually I hadn't planned on writing anything in the ficathon till next month, but we all know what my will power is) so that I'd feel like I hadn't been on LJ at all when I should be working. But then this happened, and it refused to get posted and

And you have the sweetest comment in the whole reviewing world, negl ♥

That was amazing - their voices, all of their voices are SO spot-on that I think I read the words but instead I HEAR THEM.

I am still like, 'OMG, YOU READ MY STEFAN/CAROLINE/TYLER' fic? Because I don't think you ship them at all, and it's adorable that you tried, thanks so much!

You enable me too much, I hope you know, part of my incessant ficcage is probably because of the ego boosts you keep giving me :P

So the fact that you even WROTE THIS PROMPT means that you're pretty much my favorite person right now. But this fic is the most amazing thing I have read in decades. Or what feels like decades anyway. Since I was born.

I got chills and I had some major, serious blushing happen and all of it was GOOD and PERFECT and RIGHT.

Like this?:
It’s a long time. It’s hard days and long nights and the sound of that door slamming in her face. Now the doors are metaphorical, she knows metaphors, she did them in her English class. They slam just as loud in her head though.

It’s a long time, she knows, because it’s a long time after she stops counting.

It’s a long time, but the thing is, she has a long time; she has forever. So maybe, it’s like a week, really. A minute,

Just a second.

Tell me: HOW DOES ONE MAKE FIC SO PERFECT.

I am friending you. Is that okay? Because... you just made my life. Apparently.

I'm reccing this too. Later. When I can focus on anything else other than re-reading this.

I PROBABLY DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT, THOUGH D: (I wrote the thing, and then it struck me that the prompt was very journey/roadtrip and *headdesk*)

Also, thank you so much, I had so much fun with this ship, I'm legit surprised. And you're being very nice, considering you're the OP, so I shall just sit here and bask for a while, hee.

I had some major, serious blushing happen.

LOL. (Although I suck at smut, negl, I'm just ridic bad at it.)

Stalker that I am, I just looked up your profile and shut up, you do not ship Jack/Claire. THAT IS MY LOST OTP. I was convinced I was the only person in the world who shipped that. D: And all the fic, oh my god. After my univ exams, I am totally going through it.

So, friending you, obv, because you leave me no choice with your superior tastes and A+ shippage.

[crickets]

Oh.

[crickets]

My.

Oh Christ. Forever shipping this ot3. But mostly, continuing to ship Steroline so much that it's starting to hurt.

Just those two. And your writing. Together, I cannot even. Ripped my heart from my chest.

[youcallitwinter]

Forever shipping this ot3.

I legit did not know I'd have so much fun with them!

But mostly, continuing to ship Steroline so much that it's starting to hurt.

Oh god, considering I just deleted half my icons so I could upload like 15 s/c icons all at once, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I go through regular ~phases of obsessive shipping with these two.

Aw, thank you!

Perfect. I love how you've done Caroline, wanting things but feeling bad for wanting them, and knowing Stefan understands her, and liking Stefan for what he did even though she shouldn't, and the whole Tyler commmentary thing :).

[youcallitwinter]

I love writing Caroline, she's just such a mixture of teen angst and worldly wisdom and madcap plans and insecurities and GUH, adorable, really. I do not approve of her being used as the writer's mouthpiece to prop S/E, instead of focusing on WHY she still believes in Stefan. D: Thanks so much!
