Epic fic is epic. I can't even.

HOW, MEG?! HOW?!?!

[juniperlane]

I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED. LIKE, REALLY. I WROTE IT COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY THAN I USUALLY DO. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EVEN BE BLAMED FOR THIS ONE.

I'LL JUST BLAME YOU AND FUJIIDOM OR SOMETHING. IT'S AN EXCELLENT STRATEGY.

(ALSO, LIKE, PFFT, YOUR DOLLHOUSE FIC FOR ME BLOWS THIS OUT OF THE WATER, DUDE. TOTALLY.)

(SECOND ASIDE, HOW THE FUCK DO I NOT HAVE AN ADELLE DEWITT ICON? WHY IS LIFE LIFE?)

[allthingsholy]

AGAIN I'M JUST LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Man, I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS. Like -- THIS?! FLASHFORWARDFIC?! ALL THE OTHER AWESOMENESS YOU'VE WRITTEN?!

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE A FAVORITE?! HOW?!?!

(More coherently, I love your Penny here, and your Adelle. And the saddest part is that Penny's Sheldon is still really just Sheldon, isn't it, with his bazingas and strikes and Sheldon-ness. This is absolutely fabulous. ABSOLUTELY.)

[juniperlane]

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY I ONLY SEEM TO BE ABLE TO WRITE BBT CROSSOVERS? LIKE, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

I could threaten you with physical violence? IDK, that might help you choose? (I don't even think I have a favorite. Maybe this one - right now - or, oh god, maybe even the Howard/Raj? MAYBE.)

Basically when I hit the Adelle part it was like: DEAR SELF, THIS IS PRIMARILY A BBT STORY, DO NOT LET ADELLE TAKE OVER EVERYTHING EVER WITH HER AWESOME. And yeah, um, this comment about Penny's Sheldon basically made me want to write a prequel in which real!Sheldon becomes a doll and I CANNOT HANDLE THAT BECAUSE IN MY BRAIN IT IS THE MOST DISTURBINGLY SAD THING EVER - or at least the story I came up with is.

I was TERRIFIED clicking on the link, because Dollhouse has that effect on me. (Yet I keep on watching and fangirling!) However, this: This is so sad, and so lonely, so broken (somewhere in between my mind locks in on the image of Doll!Sheldon and doing dirty things), and so very lovely. I can't pick a favourite part because they're all my favourites!, but the Penny and Adelle scene strikes out the most, and of course that last paragraph and that last line -- killed me dead, definitely.

And I bet his brain gets to rebel more than Echo's does! And maybe when the glass slides over his body at night, he'll dream of this lonely, blonde-haired girl that has no place in his memories, but does anyway. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[juniperlane]

LOLOLOL, I actually find that you were terrified to be totally awesome. Dollhouse is really that kind of show, but I love it. I can't wait for the finale. I gave in and finally looked at the preview photos and ahhhhhhhh.

I feel like if anyone's brain could overcome doll architecture, it would be Sheldon's. Definitely.

Thank you for such lovely feedback. It was amazing to wake-up to and see in my inbox. :)

Ye gods, woman. Can't...even...

(is it bad that I re-read the shower bit, 'cos my eyes were crossed first time out?)

Just. Hell. I think we just found the accident to create the super-villain. Alpha!Sheldon, for real.

[juniperlane]

Haha. (Not, it's not. dashakay has a scene I will admit, I have read... a few times more than is necessary.)

God, Alpha!Sheldon in a three-piece suit being all hot and threatening. I would watch that show. I would watch that show a lot.

[spaceanjl]

*dribbles*

Hhhnnnnggg. Brain go bye-bye now...

(am now writing some more sword-porn to get over it.)

[dashakay]

MEG, I CAN ONLY CAPSLOCK RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS FIC ACTUALLY DAMAGED MY BRAIN WITH THE HOLY SHIT AWESOMENESS OF IT.

He'll have forgotten all of this (the sex, the crossword, her) in a few hours, but she won't. She won't.

IT'S LIKE YOU PERSONALLY DRILLED A HOLE INTO MY HEART. MY HEART.

[juniperlane]

I DAMAGED YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR HEART? JFC, WOMAN. I'LL STRUGGLE WITH THE HOSPITAL BILLS FOR AGES.

♥ ♥ ♥

You are lovely and far too kind.

[dashakay]

AT THE VERY LEAST YOU NEED TO BUY ME A BEER. LOTS OF BEER.

[juniperlane]

[incredibly late reply]

WHAT TYPE OF BEER DO YOU LIKE?

[she_burns1]

YAYYYYYYY!

And here I thought I was probably annoying you with my whining about how much I wanted this but - unf!!! WANT WANT WANT! AND NOW HAVE!!! I read in the comments that others have done this mash-up and god knows, I must read them as well now, but this is a YOU fic so 'skyrockets-in-flight' if'n you know what I mean!!!!

And Penny/Career! and Penny/Adelle friendship!! GAH. So much love for this! I must print up and keep in folder!

AND NEVER BE SORRY FOR BEING EXPENSIVE! Your writing is so good, I'm amazed it didn't go HIGHER in price!!!! :DDDD

[juniperlane]

Haha, nope, not annoying! It was more me trying to process what was trying to unfold itself in my brain, as the other BBT/DH crossover I have planned is... even more depressing than this one, actually. But I don't want to give it away! (But ahaha, it is sort of even hurting my brain, and I'm the one writing it.)

This is Penny/Career in the worst! possible! way! but then again, this is everything in the worst possible way :D

I'm really quite relieved you liked it. :D
