bittybang: Don't Worry About It [Master Post]
Pairing: AJ/Nick
Word count: 20,269
Rating: R
Summary:
"Nice to meet you." Nick extended his hand to a weak, tattooed hand which shook it lightly. AJ eyed him suspiciously since he first appeared in the doorway. He was tall with blue eyes and blonde hair that seemed to spike out every direction it chose, but what caught his attention most was that he had never seen him before. He had been there for a bit over two weeks so he figured he knew every doctor, nurse, and staff member. Just when he thought he had the system figured out, this guy walks in wearing his blue scrubs and his stethoscope around his neck and-wait, did Elaine really refer to him as a nurse? AJ looked at the ID clipped to the pocket of his shirt. Nick Carter, RN, BSN. Definitely a nurse. Even got his Bachelor's in Nursing.

The Experience
I really don't know what the fuck I was thinking when I signed up. I really don't know how the fuck I let myself save it for the last minute. Like okay, on November 30th, you know the day it was due? Yeah, I had 5000 words. I wrote 15,000 words this WEEK. I was up past 4am three nights in a row writing. I was averaging about 3000 words a DAY. But you know what?
It was all worth it.
Okay yeah so I bitched and moaned and basically brought all of the stress and sleepless nights upon myself, but this fic is something I've been wanting to write for ... ever. The fact that I wrote it and finished it, even though I missed a few deadlines here and there, makes me feel so accomplished and proud. This is easily one of my top favorite things that I've ever written because I literally put a lot of myself into it.
Long story short, did I have fun? Yes. Do I like what I wrote? Fucking love it. Will I do it again? Probably not lmfao.
The Thank Yous
- First and foremost, many thanks to bubbleforest who has been nothing but a fucking saint of a mod during the past 3 months. I don't think people outside of the challenge realize what a fantastic job she's done. From the bottom of my heart, Mette, thank you for putting this together and thank you for putting up with me.
- justhitstatic, thank you for everything. The hand-holding, the ideas, the cheerleading, the betaing. Nina, I can't say thank you enough. You've been such a big help this entire time, and I really would not have been able to do this without you.
- fueldesire for telling me everyday that you like it, for telling me to stop procrastinating, and for being a big part of my support system.
- Britney Spears! Circus is amazing and it helped keep me up while writing! I definitely took a few breaks to dance around my apartment to Circus and Lace and Leather. (Thank you to my roommate for not being home all week too, I guess.)
- linear_flower for the doing the artwork! I've never had anything illustrated before, and you did a great job :)
- nothingscripted, trumpeterofdoom, boomingvoice, etsu_88, and everyone from bsb366 for all the encouragement along the way!
- All of the bittybang participants! It's been fun going through this with everyone, even though I, uh, don't really know most of you lol.
- And to anyone who reads Don't Worry About It, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing ♥ ♥ ♥
And also, welcome to my brand new fic comm, saveyourvoice! Feel free to friend and be merry :D
