The Double Coincidence of Wants

By Chloe Tambell

The first time, they are alone in a forest in the middle of the night, having snuck off with some recently traded for and very good native alcohol - a true rarity. The night air is cool but not cold, and there are no one thousand pound weird-scary animals with sixteen eyes to freak Rodney out (in a ( Read more... )

Looks good. Did I ever mention you have a very distinctive style already? I'll admit, I didn't think this day would ever arrive. Now that it has, I'll horrify you: Time to start on the next thing!

Aww. My first comment. Thanks! :)

::preening:: A very distinctive style, huh? What makes you say that? I feel that I do, only because I can sense it in a way, but only in that it feels familiar, intrinsic to me. I'm just curious what prompted that assertion.

Yes, I admit, I didn't think it ever would either. As silly as it sounds, writing each day for just a few minutes has really helped get my mind into gear, made it easier to write and sit still.

Gasp! The next story?

Okay, I admit, I'm already working on it. Or three of them. ::Cringe:: One that will hopefully be short, a second that will be of moderate length, and a third that will be awfully long. I intend to finish them in that order, if at all possible.

Off to read the rules of the noticeboard.

Oh, yum! Sweet but not gooey, wonderfully yearning, and I loved "Now that it’s all spilled out, he feels naked, completely exposed with vultures flying overhead" because it's kind of grossly funny in the middle of being emotionally honest, which is weirdly Rodney.

Thank you! :) I'm not sure where that image came from, it just popped into my mind, and seems to fit. But it does seem awfully Rodney, a sort of natural dark humor.

Glad you liked it. It was quite exciting. And I think, addicting.

I'm working on three other stories, as I mentioned in my reply to Auburn -- one of them has a femslash scene that sends me to my bunk, even though I wrote it. I'll post that as soon as it's finish, I think it can stand alone as a PWP piece. :)

I like how it takes them a while to figure out what the hell is going on even after John shows up at Rodney's room. Nicely done!

Thank you! I think that people are, more often than not, oblivious, especially when it comes to sex and emotions. I think that our world view is so strongly entrenched that it colors everything we perceive. Rodney's so damn sure that he's "destined" to want what he can't have and never get what he wants; that's why it takes John so long to get through to Rodney. That, and John's natural reluctance to discuss emotions, relationships or anything really personal. It's only when John throws in the towel and is completely direct that he gets through to Rodney.
