Three Kings and an Epiphany (Chapter 2)

[subsidingchaos]

Staring into the darkening room, hockey game a forgotten blur of blue and red jerseys, Sam focused in on the four nail pops in the ceiling above the TV. They’d been there since he moved in almost ten years ago, but somehow they looked different to him now, as if they somehow should be healing themselves like the line of skin where the bullet, and

PLEASE TELL ME IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE AND SHE RUSHES OVER, OR SHOWS UP IN THE MORNING, AND THEN SPEND CHRISTMAS DOING NAKED THINGS.

OR NOT, JUST AS LONG AS THEY'RE TOGETHER.

That really killed me. Deep in ma soul. Just so you know. My heart is definitely frozen. I hate you. In the best way.

"I miss you.
I wish you were here.
I wish I was holding you.

…. I love you"

DUDE, SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY. YOU'RE BOTH BIG FAT DUMMIES.

[subsidingchaos]

No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. I don't do Christmas miracles - maybe.

Yeah, Sam causes a lot of us a whole lotta pain, doesn't he?

And you are quite right, if I were McNally, I would have stormed his door like Normandy the first night he was home but... yeah, she doesn't have a whole bunch of common sense when it come to Swarek, either.

Thanks for the encouragement and the push to transfer this drivel from thoughts into words. You're the best, you are.

He's SUCH an idiot. The BIGGEST fucking idiot. I love how completely annoyed he is with everything and acknowledges himself as the Grinch and everyone's still all up in his space with Ollery trying to get him to man up and how he's happy for them and THEN MCNALLY MESSAGES HIM AND HE WANTS TO TELL HER TO GO BACK TO BED W/HER BOYFRIEND (but actually wants her in his bed, right Sam? don't lie, you idiot. *slaps back of his head*). BASICALLY. HE'S A DAMNED FOOL.

(cute witches don't scare him but mcnally sure as hell does)

LOVE the last line and he's a fucking idiot because that isn't happening.

I love him, I do, but idiot.

And McNally, too. Next Christmas they better be together. That is all.

[subsidingchaos]

Your comments are actually pretty good when you're tired. Well done!

I love tormenting Sam. I mean, really, everybody coming over and parking their asses on his couch and cleaning his place and bringing Christmas Jell-O? Yeah, buddy, I'll get you back for being so frigging STUPID.

McNally scares the everloving shit out of him and he knows it and it makes him even more afraid.

Idiot, indeed.

crying in my kashi heart to heart

Well, Jesus H. Christ. opened the window and stood there trying to freeze his heart?????!!!!!! YOU.ARE.KILLING.ME. I have stuff I need to do today, I can't be on my couch, sobbing, with feels! sigh. As usual, this was wonderful--you capture pain in the ass grouchy sam so well. and he's sad, oh sam(click your damn ruby slippers so you can go home to mcnally). you stubborn bloody idiot, respond to her text! sooooooo, i need you to write several thousand more words, b/c your writing just flows so well, has the perfect lilt, and I get to the end and think, shit, why did I read that so fast, I WANT MORE!!!

loved the analogy of fixing the popped out nails. he knows how to fix it. he knows how to fix it with HER. MORON!

(loved the kale reference--wonder if Madiha knows what it looks like)

Re: crying in my kashi heart to heart

[subsidingchaos]

Hey! Good morning to you, Sunshine. No better way to start the day than having a really good cry, right.

Yeah, Sam make me teary too. And McNally? She's not much better, is she?

Kale is a superfood and its high time Madiha is introduced to it, cause I mean, who doesn't want to eat little green toilet brushes?

One more wiseman to go...

Yes I'm a sap...I have tears

[dcarj]

All it took was McNally's text. Just the thought of her being so far from him but needing to feel a little bit of closeness. Needing him to know she was thinking of him. Yes...idiot

[subsidingchaos]

Denise! (not Mrs. Doubtfire), you totally need to write some more stuff because your review is ten times better than my story, for reals.

"Apeckolypse" - OMG, THAT is perfect, because can you just imagine Christmas dinner at Gail's mommy and daddy's house with her GIRLFRIEND? Yep, I'm thinking Gail would jump at the chance to cheer Sam up, she likes him much better than her family anyway.

Celery is pretty awesome, isn't she. Methinks she is one smart cookie and would not back down on calling Sam on his shit.

Thanks for the encouragement - I consider any flattering words coming from you to be treasures. :)
