Along the Road - 1normandplumeJune 1 2011, 20:35:32 UTC
It only just now dawned on this writernon that the sort-of-not-quite sequel/continuation of "Until the End" is probably getting lost down there. If you're so inclined, this is also being updated on FF.net and at the journal I'm posting with, but I'll always put the new stuff here first. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7039432/1/Along_the_Road
Also, actual kink is in the works for this one, too. :D
Along the Road
SheShe smells terrible on hot days and her clothes are frayed and filthy. She jumps at certain small noises, throwing her hands up as if she still had a gun to shoot an escape route with. If he comes up behind her without warning she lashes out (but she's always sorry after). Sometimes at night he wakes up to see her wide-eyed and shaking, seeing cold walls instead of the place they are sleeping in. She loves anything that looks like cake or tastes like it but the word itself makes her skin crawl

Damn it, anon, this is your fault! I was going to write smut but you guys get some really sappy fluff instead. More smut is forthcoming, I swear! While you wait, just remember that white shirts in the rain are a blessing from on high. :D
Be MoreRain is drumming on the old house roof. Every drop makes him cringe. He focuses on the shape of her leaning in the open doorway, silhouetted against gray and green. The day is still warm and he feels hot and sticky in his clothes. Suddenly she stands up straight, flashes him a grin, and dashes out into the downpour

I haven't forgotten about this fic or you lovely readers. In fact, I come bearing sexy times! :D As always, thank you guys for the comments and for your patience. :)
Fire and WaterRain is one thing, a river is entirely another

I love this, just so you know.
It's touching, and even if it isn't sad, it's heartbreaking. probably because so much feeling is conveyed. and for a shrivled heart like mine, it's overpowering.

I absolutely love this, just like everyone else has already said, and I sincerely hope that you continue. This is so beautiful and poetically written. It can be heartbreaking and wonderfully uplifting, and I would love to read more, provided you continue writing.
Someone mentioned earlier that this could be published as a standalone story, as long as you didn't mention that it was a Portal fic - you seriously could.

One of my favourite things about this story is how absolutely pure their love seems to be. Most Chelley fics tend to be just about sex, and are written for the sake of being as smutty as possible. Don't get me wrong, I like my smut, but I also love how tender and adoring you potray them as.
Re: Along the Road - 3.5normandplumeJuly 10 2011, 20:18:52 UTC
Your stories are so epic! I love how tender and loving this one is... Their love is so beautiful. I've read it like 4 times now. Really amazing. :)
Also, not sure if this was at all intentional, but every time I read the bit about Chell teaching Wheatley how to do cartwheels I can't help but think of this: http://youtu.be/iLUImqsoX7I

Waugh, long time no post! First, thank you all for those wonderful comments. ^_^ I can't do justice to how awesome you all are. :)
To everyone who's been saying this would make a good bit of original fiction, thank you! :) I've been poking at it off an on to make it so.
Regarding Smerch doing a cartwheel: you aren't the first to say that, anon, but I actually didn't get to see that clip until some days after I wrote that scene. XD It is an amazing thing to behold. :D

Whoops, also wanted to say that I want to continue this series, but I so far only have the one idea and it's a very depressing one at that. Granted, I never intended this set of chapters to be in any sort of chronological order, but still... Do you guys want the horrendously sad idea or would you prefer I save it until after I've come up with a few more fluffy ones?
