Fic: The Snowboy

Dec 25, 2012 19:52

So, due to a mixture of illness, Christmas and revision my Nathan Barley Christmas fic didn't really get finished because I couldn't even bring myself to type. So today, in the intervals when I could get away from my family, I knocked this up: small and sweet. I hope you enjoy it.

( The snowman was his pride and joy... )

Awww, this is just lovely, thank you for sharing it! Sorry you've not been well, hope you're on the mend now.

So many things to love... the way Naboo is so offhand about it all, the way Howard tries to make the snowman into a pretty, tweed-wearing female but once he's given it Vince's eyes, the snowman has ideas of his own... and the brilliant ending with snowman Vince thawing out iceman Howard...

I will be coming back to read this again tomorrow when I'm wider awake. Merry Christmas!

Aw, thanks so much! I hope you're feeling better now as well. Sodding illness, getting in the way of our festive slash!

I'm really glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your loveliness. Hope you have/had a brilliant Christmas!

'Fraid I'm not going to be feeling properly better until about May... although I will be intermittently better and I am very determined to get as much slash written (and read) as possible while I can!

And yes, thanks, I did have a brilliant Christmas even though I wasn't expecting to... my lovely family are complete stars.

Also, this story just gets better and better the more you read it!

Ah, sorry to hear that. :( I'll try and write as much slash as I possibly can then!

And eep, thank you!

(It was a blustery Christmas Day, wasn't it? We had torrential rain in London; it was despicable! And, yes, I do have the British compulsion to always start a conversation by discussing the weather.)

But yay, I'm so glad you liked it! Howard can't get away from Vince, as hard as he tries (thank God). Hope you had a brilliant Christmas!

Ahh, so no White Christmases for us :( Ah well, at least we've got each other...and slash. Lots of slash.

And now, I'll do my interpretive dance... Mainly it's just sucking in my cheeks and waving my hand in the air. I'm not a great dancer.

As always, your writing is just lovely. The juxtaposition of the ethereal and magical creature made of snow and the typically Vincey words is sweet and funny.

This bit: Vince smiled secretively at that. “You didn’t make me,” he said. “You needed me. I’ve been here all along; just needed someone to pull me together.”

Perfection. Merry Christmas!

Don't worry, I did Dance for two years against my will as a school subject and I got an E grade, so I know how you feel :D

But thank you so much; I'm really glad you liked it! I like to think that if Vince was really a snowman he'd spend all his time molding his hair before it melted.

Happy Christmas!
