This heart, some fraction of me (Carson/Hughes. Missing Scene S2E2)

Sep 27, 2011 22:36

ellie987 asked for a sequel to my last Carson/Hughes fic, but since that turned out to be as AU as I thought it would, this isn't strictly a sequel. It's set just after Lady Mary has left Carson's room and Mrs. Hughes has stayed.

My first draft was very angst-ridden, but then I spent hours cooking and listening to the pilot for the BBC radio programme ( Read more... )

This was lovely. So many little moments that feel just like them, in character.

It felt natural. Thank you so much for sharing.

The naturalness of a long standing couple was what I was going for, so I'm glad it came through.

You know you got me obsessed with the Hughes, Carson and Mary triangle, don't you?

Haven't seen the eppy, but I'm hoping I won't kill my spoilers with your fics. (I'm avoiding everyone else's. I'm like that. Biased towards you. *snort*)

I think their dialogue is lovely. And I love that she's been in his bed before. Go girl! But never side-by-side! Lordy! *feeling like I need sln's smelling salts*

There are little spoilers here and there in the story, but only one plot point spoiler, which was pretty much given away in E1's promo, so you should be safe.

But never side-by-side! Lordy! *feeling like I need sln's smelling salts*

I'm working my way toward Carson/Hughes -- well, I can't say "smut," it doesn't feel right for the characters or the period, but I am trying to find a way to write about the characters being physically intimate. How'm I doing so far?

How'm I doing so far? Just fine. I just sit back and smile that you are writing for the couple I like. :)

Only because you lured me in. You're the pimp of the C/H world.
