Hahahaha that was actually rather amusing!! I love how you've made them playful around each other compared to the usual serious. I loved this piece thoroughly, just that mix of fun fluff and 'mature content' (LOL) just worked so well together, almost like we were seeing a teenage version of the duo.

Thanks! Found the dialogue at the beginning in my pile of unsorted ideas-and-drabbles, and suddenly I could envision the actions going on between the lines of conversation, and this fic was born. As stated, it was SUPPOSED to be fluff, but my mind's been completely in the gutter recently... LOL. And I love funny Tessa and Steve. We don't see enough of them! Only glimmers that we hang on to for dear life... *misses Murder Call terribly*

Don't you just love that?! Hahaha any idea, no matter what fandom can be recycled multiple times without getting old if you can paraphrase it correctly!! I am, after all, the queen on paraphrasing *takes a dramatic bow*
Oh trust me, mine took up residency there almost 13 years ago!! But I do appreciate all the Tessa-Steve-Schmexy-Tiems! If I had the choice, I'd be a Mills & Boon author writing strictly Tessa/Steve smutt! Hahaha but no, my muse decides otherwise what I should write and when that should occur!
Yes! Funny Tessa and Steve are amusing!!! And you are right, We don't see enough of funny T/S... If those glimmers we hang onto for dear life were life preservers, we would have all drowned a long while ago, even before the show ended... :(

*all hail the queen of paraphrasing* *bows deeply*

Yep, I love it! Except now I wonder what I'll do when my plethora of unused prompts runs out... :P But yeah, that muse is rather pushy, isn't she? Sometimes she demands smut, sometimes angst, sometimes fluff, and sometimes plain craziness. So fickle. :P I probably never would've published my smut online if someone hadn't shown interest, though, so thank you for that! I've gotten braver now. ;)

By the way, I thought of a new song that's be excellent material for a T/S vid. "This Year's Love" by David Gray. I heard it on Spotify the other day and I love it! It's been a while since I've done any vidding, mostly because I'd gotten to the point where I mostly recycled the same vidbits and wanted to find some new scenes to include in the vids...but that of course meant trawling through the eps in search of them, and that's where my motivation stopped for the moment. Maybe when the holidays get around and I've got more time on my hands, I'll take it up again. :)

Thank you, thank you! I'm here all week!
Don't worry, you aren't the only one who thinks like that! It's surprising the amount of things that pop to mind that you jot down and you come back to them years latter and you're left thinking either WTF was I thinking or Oooh! That's just sparked something or it's completely blank up there.
I came across one recently and I obviously had a good train of thought going on after watching the Ep with that writer Sebastian Toombs. What ever my muse was pushing had to have been a winner cause now that I read over the descriptive couple of sentences, I'm left wondering what this fic would have turned out like if I'd gone somewhere with it!!
Hahahaha yes, I was the same with my smutty stuff too, very shy at 14 to be writing something so raunchy (looked more like a tv show script than a fic!! But it was over 40 pages long based around that freezer scene...) but I'm glad you're posting yours too cause it's interesting to see the different stuff out there! (And that sounded wrong *tries to pull mind out ( ... )

LOL, yeah, that's exactly the way it is. Then again, it's a good thing the prompts get used rather than sitting miserable and alone and unseen in my hard drive. *poor baby* Oooh, I'd like to read that Toombs-inspired thing! And that 40-pages thing! Like you say here and in another of your comments, it's refreshing to get someone else's point of view and see what they'd do with the characters and the story. No pressure, though ( ... )

tempe_brennandr December 6 2016, 23:10:08 UTC

Hahaha I'll have to send the Toombs inspired fic to you. And the 40 page thing is lost, might have been thrown ages ago. It was my worst fic, but yet again it was my first.

Besides DayZ, I play Life is Strange, Farming Simulator (I've just gotten FS17 and I have yet to play it, I'm currently still playing FS16), Gone Home, Firewatch, Arma DayZ mod, Pokémon (I've just gotten Sun and Moon from my brother for Christmas, so I have to wait to play them...), The Sims 3, + some of my brothers XBox One and XBox 360 games (there are way too many to list :P).

If you have a Steam account we should add each other!

dreigiau December 8 2016, 23:08:09 UTC

Lol, firsts are always both comical and tragic :p I still look at my first MC fic "Moral Battle" from time to time and think to myself "how horribly young and naive I were." Thankfully, my writing has matured since then!

Wow, that's a lot of interesting games! I take it you game on PC then. I'm only on Xbox, unfortunately. The only game on my MacBook is Dreamfall Chapters, a Nordic game that follows up some other games from back in the day: The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. Alas, I do not have Steam! :( if I had, I'd add you at once.

So you prefer all sorts of games? Or mostly mmo?

tempe_brennandr December 9 2016, 17:31:34 UTC

Hahaha yes it's always good to look back on firsts and see how far you've come ( ... )

Whenever it comes to MMO, I have to play on a team with someone. I'm not into that whole player vs player stuff. That's why if me and my boyfriend play together, we have to be teamed up against someone else. :P Otherwise it'll just cause a lot of tense atmosphere whenever one wins over the other! LOL. (I can be a pretty sore loser when I play against him, simply because I feel he's got so much more experience than me that it's practically cheating. :P) Ooh, Rust! My brother's talked a lot about that. Mostly about the character creation stuff and the storm it's kicked up because people want to create the character themselves rather than have it randomised for them. (I think that's the same game, anyway ( ... )
