THREE NOTES & SOUNDTRACKART POST Notes: This story has been the worst thing in my life for about nine months now. It started as a small drabble about the boys as a pair of angsty doctors, which grew to be a 10K-word story TOPS. But then bigbang stuff was coming due and I couldn't decide what to write. So I looked at my bulging mess of a WIP folder and plucked this one out of the heap, thinking that maybe with a little hope, a subplot, and a damn good rewrite it might hit 20,000 and not suck. I don't know about the not sucking (I'm too close to the stove, as it were), but it's lengthy and angsty.
I'll be honest, though. All parents have favorite children, right? This is not one of my favorites. It's difficult and surly, thoroughly self-absorbed, and it has been driving me crazy for months.
ANYWAY. I'm sure you'll like it. Like I said, too close to the stove here.
I had a references post but to tell you the truth, you don't need it. Splenic ectopic pregnancy really has happened. The OB on that case in Kentucky was the father of one of my good RL friends, who has been (unknowingly) a huge resource here.
Oh, and yeah. Andy's dad? He's a real player. I think it's pretty obvious who he is. :)
I'm not a Bay Area kid, no matter how hard I root for the Giants or say "hella" (both of which I do), so I tried to keep the location-particulars vague enough. All apologies for inacurracies, etc. If you're curious, the Oakland A who recognizes Jared at the charity function is second baseman Mark Ellis. If you want to know more about that team, check out
candle_beck. Make sure you have two weeks of your life to dedicate to reading fic, too, because she's got A LOT.
I can't thank the following people enough:
- badesquisse my lovely artist who dealt with her own crap, my crap, and still produced some phenomenal art
- The wonderful mods of spn_j2_bigbang, wendy in particular for being understanding of my need for a one-day extension and for running such a tight ship.
- My whole flist for listening to me whine (my tag for this purpose, "shut up about big bang already" has been used 59 times!), particularly those who are not in the SPN/J2 fandom and would really rather I, you know, shut up about big bang already!
- Particularly these flisters for audiencing, cheerleading, and offering their beta services: egotists, estarmuerta, pyrebi, rebekahfair, xxtornxxapartxx
- and also the three incredibly patient people who bought me for Sweet Charity who haven't gotten their stories yet because I've been all, "AHHHHH BIG BANG MUST REWRITE IT A BILLION TIMES ZOMG", one_2_3_4, cruiscin_lan, and ashesfor_trees.
SOUNDTRACK (with the awesomeest cover art EVAR.
Yeah, it's angsty breakup music. But HELLO. Did you read the story?
DOWNLOAD (some tracks are .m4a, most are .mp3, apologies for not uniform formats and the lack of cover art [and also for reusing one fanmix track]. I have excuses but they're boring)
Thank you for reading!
