The clerk looked to Patch.

'She wants a nonsmoking room,' Patch said.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?" Nora shouted, deliberately yelling so that not only the desk clerk but his supervisor and any other guests that might be in this miserable hole in the wall would hear every word she said. "How does 'Do you have a cell phone?' translate to 'I want a non-smoking room'? I don't want a room! And I sure as fuck do not want to share a room with YOU! You offered me a ride home. In case you didn't notice, asshole, this hotel is not my home ( ... )

Ms. Herrera did materialize from the office behind the desk only seconds later. She proved to be a tall biracial Latina and who looked as if she'd coined the term "no-nonsense." She was also not in the least impressed with Patch or his indignant protests that he was just trying to be a nice fucking guy, and damn, Nora, what's your childhood trauma, just because you've got sex on the brain 24/7, that doesn't mean that I do ( ... )

Not letting herself think about it--if she thought about this for one second, she'd be paralyzed by fear--Nora deliberately tensed and then fell backwards ( ... )

Patch, fortunately, had no self-control. He was battering at the office door and alternating between screeching threatens and smarming at Nora in what he probably thought of as a suave and charming manner when the cops and Nora's mother arrived. He was very surprised to be handcuffed and read his rights ( ... )

Patch, unbelievably, was still there ( ... )

My dear, you've proved once again that you are awesome in your greatness.

Re: Spitefic: Assertiveness Training, Conclusion gehayi September 11 2011, 11:59:51 UTC

Awww, thank you. I'm very flattered. I just really, really wanted Nora to have some agency.

Re: Spitefic: Assertiveness Training, Conclusion albion_witch September 11 2011, 13:21:44 UTC

And you pulled it off very well. You made it suspenseful and Nora actually reacted like a normal girl with more than two brain-cells. Oh, was Patch's comeuppance incredibly satisfying!

Heh! I'm not used to getting internet marriage proposals. But I'm very glad that you liked it. Passive female characters annoy me...and Nora has displayed both fear of Patch and a good amount of common sense when her author allows her to do so.

Re: Spitefic: Assertiveness Training, Conclusion zelda_queen September 12 2011, 00:06:48 UTC

You! I love you! That is utterly fantastic! :D

Re: Spitefic: Assertiveness Training, Conclusion gehayi September 12 2011, 00:22:48 UTC

Thank you! I'm so glad that you liked it. I wanted to give Nora a REAL happy ending--one that wouldn't involve a forced relationship with her stalker-abuser.

A little late to the party, but I love you for writing this. YOU ARE AMAZING/AWESOME/ETC.

Re: Spitefic: Assertiveness Training, Conclusion gehayi September 20 2011, 01:03:46 UTC

Awww, thank you! I just wanted Nora to have some agency--and for Patch to finally get arrested, of course. Never have I seen a character that I've loathed more than Patch, I swear.

Hate to be late to the party, but...

THANK YOU. This whole scenario is absolutely terrifying (and the Elliot chapter... I feel so unclean), and you treat it with the horror it deserves, and it is magnificent. I'm honestly afraid to see the next chapter, because this makes every creepy abusive thing Edward Cullen and Jacob Black have ever done combined look like romance. This makes H.H. Holmes look like a gentleman in comparison. And the worst part is that the author is the only person who doesn't realize this.

I don't even want to THINK what Patch was originally supposed to be like.
