Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew fic: So Fair a House

[bethfrish]

So here is a thing that I finally finished!

It took FOREVER, but is very, very dear to me. ;__;

Two years ago I wrote a Hardy Boys fic for yuletide called Our Red Sea, in which I mercilessly killed off Fenton Hardy as a cheap plot device. Joe was the star, but it was the beginning of a glorious new relationship with his endearingly dysfunctional family.

Oh, God. I... I think I'm going to do a big rec post on my LJ of this whole universe, so maybe I'll have coherent thoughts then, but right now I'm all alksdjglkzsdjgklajsdklgakljsdlkfgasdklgasdkl. SO GOOD. SO GOOD. Just... heartbreaking and perfect and it pushes every button I have and I just want to see it PERFORMED, and oh, oh. Amazing. I shrieked with glee when I saw you'd written more, and the story did not disappoint. Wow.

;____; Bawwwwww. You are so sweet and, just, thank you. I know my weird little fandom doesn't have much of an audience, and that's fine, but still, knowing that even a couple people read my stories and enjoy them... It makes make heart go all aflutter. Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. ♥

Oh my god. I mean, oh my god. I love this series so much and I just... ::hands:: That just hurt and was amazing and... oh my god. I, too, want to rec all of these (again, I think), and hopefully I'll have actual words by then but... oh my god. Amazing ♥

There were a zillion good parts, but, despite all the heart-hurty stuff and starkness of most of it, I keep returning to this one as my favorite:
Dad was a homosexual, Frank. He always was. I know you like to keep up the fantasy that he was just in constant need of legal advice-

JOE IS MY FAVORITE

But D': thank you! I write this stuff because I love the source material and the characters and because their ridiculous, melodramatic lives bring me joy. I know it's not a very big fandom and it never will be, but that only makes your feedback all the more appreciated and touching. I'm so glad the Hardys and the Drews could bring you joy (or perpetual sadface?) as well! ♥
