Best Forgotten, a Fic for Brandy, Pt. 8

Aug 18, 2009 16:22

Well this is long. Very. It needs editing but I'm not going to bother, because hey, at least I can post a chapter before going back to work. Just a warning, though: if you plan to read, get yourself a drink and a very comfy chair ( Read more... )

My pulse actually races a little every time I see this has been updated. Nice to see Caleb finally beginning to dig his own grave.

Your pulse races? What a lovely compliment! Thanks.

And contrary to what Caleb thinks, he's not invincible. Is he?

Just the right length, I think...but not long enough, b/c ACK - I'm on the edge of my seat here waiting for something positive to start happening. Of course, I know Sandy has something up his sleeve, placating Cal like this. Something is about to happen, to save 'Brandon' from the surgery....right...RIGHT????

Just the right length? Are you one of those people who consider War and Peace summer beach reading??? (BTW, I'm referencing quantity, not quality!)

Anyway, Something will happen. But what? Ah, that's the question. :)

I found it to be satisfyingly long. Long enough for a lot to happen. Good stuff!

Arghhh - that was me. MissChic is home so I'm always logged out!

Chic! Hi! (*waves*)

oooooh! *shudders* And you just keep building the suspense. Your pained, desolate, drug and restraint imprisoned Ryan brings me near tears. So much else good here, but it's a busy week. I'm very glad I allowed myself time to read despite your length warning.

It didn't seem long at all! Thanks for this fic.

chazper August 19 2009, 21:59:56 UTC

You're welcome. I'm grateful that you took time from your busy week to read--and thrilled that this update didn't seem long to you!

Such a wonderful surprise to see you updated. I had been keeping my fingers crossed that you'd be able to post before before school started. Hubby had his first day of kids Tuesday.

I didn't think you could make Ryan anymore pathetic, but I was wrong. Huddling on the floor is much better than being drugged and strapped to the hospital bed. However, I have faith in Lucy and I'm betting Sandy has something up his sleeve as well.

p.s. I was very happy to see you add Trey to this chapter. It would have been easy to leave him out, but his appearance was a nice touch and made the chapter all the better.

Our kids don't come until next Thursday but I went in today to start unpacking; we're in an interim building for three years while our new school is being built. That's exciting, or at least it will be in 3 years, but in the meantime . . . yikes! This is going to be a chaotic start to the school year; I just hope we're ready when the students show up! Wish us luck

Anyway, I'm glad to see that people seemed to like Trey showing up here. I just couldn't leave him out. But Ryan, sigh. I have to admit, I have trouble writing him helpless and desperate. I'm so afraid that I'm crossing into maudlin territory. Gotta give him his strength back somehow, but it's tough considering this story's evil!Caleb. Ah, the melodrama . . .!
