Barely breathing muses ahead

[ultraviolet730]

There's creativity in the air! Or maybe it's just pollen. Anyway, after reading great new ficlets from cheights and rileyc and a whole new chapter from caliban22170, I decided I needed to jumpstart my long-dormant writing engine. I think there was a meme a while back, where you were supposed to post something from your WIPs. I can't remember how it went, so I'm just

I LOVE YOU.

So the past became his addiction. He couldn't drown himself in booze, so he wallowed in memories. In longing and regret. And in guilt - his faithful companion.

This is exactly right; you've pinned Toby like a butterfly. Please, please, if you can, if you wanna, please finish this fic! I just have to see Stabler's (or is it really Keller's, after all?) reaction when he awakens to... what?

And Elliot/Alex... alas! What's Chemistryless Kathy got that the Uber-Blonde doesn't? Besides child-bearing hips, I mean.

[ultraviolet730]

Aww - I bet you say that to all the pervy fic writers :) But really, thanks so much for the nice encouragement. It really does help!

Hee - isn't that where the kink comes in? And I guess I have to work on it some more, what with poor Toby pinned like a butterfly.

As for A/E, don't worry. CK has nothing Alex needs, especially the most important thing. A pulse!

Meep! I almost missed these.

"DNR": This is such an awesome idea, I really hope you keep going with it. Admittedly I don't know much about Oz, or Beecher's character, but what you've written has got me hooked:

What he didn't know, of course, was if it was real, if Chris, this Chris, was real. If he'd somehow become Elliot Stabler, courtesy of the fastest reincarnation ever. Or perhaps the most ironic Witness Protection placement in history, in which a sexual predator becomes a sex crimes cop.

Ha! The delusions of a man in love! It's a great angle for a crossover btwn. these two shows, and you write Beecher very sympathetically.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith": Aw, man. The last line is utterly devastating! Great job. These two could kick Brangelina's asses any day of the week. :)

I love getting you hooked on Oz stuff. We'll lure you in eventually, little girl!

Even though it is Stabler, and not Keller, in the story, I do love the idea of the WPP making Keller an SVU cop. It's so completely fucked up that it's exactly the kind of thing a bureaucracy might do.

These two could kick Brangelina's asses any day of the week.
Ha! Exactly what I think. (Though, you know, I wouldn't mind seeing some raw, hot, hard Brangelina sex, either.) Glad you liked the last line - you know how I like to end with a bang. (Couldn't resist - sorry!)

I hope to continue their misadventures, too. If the Muses permit.

Hmm, Toby obsessed with Elliot. You've got my full attention, here.*g* I really loved it, Ultraviolet. Please write more. And make them make out!*g*

[ultraviolet730]

Hee! MAKE THE MAKE OUT! It's a catch phrase. I love it. And I'll see what I can do to arrange it.

Thanks for the nice words, Ana Paula.

Girl, you are dormant for a while then, WHAM!

I know just enough about Oz, to know that "DNR" is pitch perfect. It captures that lonely yearning that LT seems to wear like a cloak in the episodes I've seen.

And, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" rings so true with certain aspects of A/E that I carry in my head. Of course, Alex and Elliot would have the kind of exhausting one-upsmanship sex Stabler would never initiate at home. Of course, Alex would be thrown by the change-up. Of course, Elliot would be tempted to recapture something of the comfortable familiarity he'd lost. Of course, it all makes perfect, angsty sense.

Lovely job, Ultraviolet.

[ultraviolet730]

Hey you! So glad you enjoyed my little forays back into writing. I can't believe you haven't watched that much Oz, because this is such a beautiful way of describing Beecher:

And, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" rings so true with certain aspects of A/E that I carry in my head.
Yay! That makes me so happy. I hope Alex didn't come across as lovesick here, because she was just as happy as Elliot was when everything was about sex. But his emotion caught her by surprise and stirred up some emotions of her own. I hope I can continue to keep them in character and in bed :)

Thanks so much for such wonderful comments!

[rileyc]

OK, since you asked for it, I'm begging you ... to write more, please, like right now. LOL

Damn, these are good, and you absolutely cannot be allowed to let DNR stand there unfinished. The set up is so intriguing, and as Cat says, just a little bit creepy.

I'd love to see more of the A/E one too, discover how they came to be in that situation, and where it goes from there. It's another great set up, and I feel so bad for Alex at the end.

And the fate one absolutely fits the new Flash Fic challenge. And if you wanted to expand on it just a smidge, that would not be a bad thing.

Great job with all of them.

[ultraviolet730]

Hey Rebecca - I seem to have missed this. Sorry to take so long to get back to you!

I'm so happy that DNR went over well. I do love the idea of poor Toby, drawn right back into a web he really never escaped. As for Fate, I might just post it as is, since I can't seem to beef it up anymore. It really did seem like destiny when Mav posted right after I did, lol.

Glad you liked the A/E setup, as well. It's an epic in my head, and I sadly don't have the discipline to do it justice. But I do want to try.

Thanks for all the encouragement!
