Ask me what happens after the end of any of my stories. (Or tell me what you think.)

Oh, Higher Education!

I adore that fic. In fact, I've got a half-concocted LJ entry in my head about how I think that is one of the most completely realized examples of slash fanfic liek evah. I barely remembered the movie, but after reading your stoyr, I went back and rewatched it. It wasn't the canon that hooked me, but your fanfic! Woot.

I fail at Jeopardy. I did not phrase that in the form of a question.

What happens to Brian and John when they go to that wedding?

[moireach.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd love to know about something that happened after either Repairs or Four and a Half Minutes.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

"Left."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh! What happens after "Loving North"?

[skuf.livejournal.com]

I'd say Exog, except you already mocked me with that one (I tried to find it, too, but it was something about them raising a score of kids. Which would work, too, but I definitely felt a slight hint of sarcasm there :oP).

I'm not sure I'd want to know? Most of your stories, I imagine there are still rivers to cross and kinks to work out for the protagonists, but it's always going to work out fine. That's what I want to believe, kthx :o)

Hmmm, "Teeth of the Hydra?"

Hmm, your lj style is broken for me (Safari, Mac OS X) to leave comments from the comment page.

When you said this, I had an immediate flashback to the daydreams I had for weeks about Advantage and John and those khama nuts; in my daydreams, eating the nuts always reactives the slave enzyme. Wouldn't it be incredibly tempting to have a way to overcome your physical limits? (I've always wanted to be able to do the splits, for one thing.) And of course John has this convenient and incredibly inconvenient way to gain new skills (learn karate in a day! surrender your whole being for a day!) Which led, in my mind, to a whole lot of pretty angst and even prettier John-Sheppard-flexibility. Mmmr.

What happens to Brian and John when they go to that wedding?

Oh, I second this question!

[calathea.livejournal.com]

I third that question!

[turtlespeaks.livejournal.com]

What happens after Advantage?!

Also, what happens after Thirst? Do they ever get out?

[gwendolyn-post.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Resolution please. And Coffee. It's the snippety things that tend to haunt me, because I can't really be sure where the characters are at the end.

Um, hi. I lurk.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Resolution please

seconded!

[bluebrocade.livejournal.com]

I love this meme! What happens after "Broadway Hotel"?? I love that fic so much.

I think directly after the ending, they go back to Ray's room andthentheyhavesex. But then going back to their real lives? Ray's definitely got issues with being "openly" gay.

I always want it to work out fine. If I think up a story and can't think of any way for it to work out fine, usually I won't write the story.

I'm answering yours first because I already have notes for it.

Fin goes home with Chrt. It's hard for him to do his job, because they don't have enough experience with pollution or energy shortages to make them really value domestic-environment engineering, so it's a struggle for him.

They all work together to build this enormous homestead, with room for 14 adults and all the litters they'll have -- more like a small town than a house. Nobody wants to sleep in the same room with Fin, and Fin hates sleeping alone.

A pregnancy among Chrt's people takes two years -- the first one in the female and the second one in the male. Some other couple has the first pregnancy; Chrt and a female named Trss have the second one. During the first year, the main action going is the mutual hostility between Fin and Trss, but eventually Fin figures out that Trss is xenofreaking -- nobody else has been able to figure that out -- and he figures out some way to help her out. At the end of the year, when it's time for the pups to be transferred to Chrt, she asks Fin to be present, to be part of the mating, and there's a three-way bond formed.

One of the previable pups dies. Chrt is mostly mad because it gives the busybodies an excuse to curtail his movements; his people are very pragmatic about these things, and they say, "It wasn't really alive yet anyway," but it looks almost like an infant, and Fin cries and cries. (On Earth, a miscarriage means the end of your one and only chance to reproduce; it's one of the culture's greatest tragedies.)

Then the first litter of pups are born. (They spend so long in the pouch that at birth they're on the developmental level with toddlers.) Fin freaks out a little at first -- multiple offspring are so taboo -- but while they're still little, they like to sleep in a big pile, and they'll let him sleep with them, and so he's finally comfortable. Little piping voices going, "Pfin! Pfin!"

They're native speakers of the pidgin (so they can communicate with Fin), and since they use it as a language, they begin to change it.

There's no resolution in my notes, so I'm not sure what happens next.

I want a middle-of-the-story, actually, in between "Bed and Board" and "Paternity." Tell me about the Trio's adventures on the continent!

...please?

Mmmm. At one point I had a fairly solid idea of what that wedding in Higher Education looked like--not so much dialogue, but visual snippets, if you will. John in the suit with his tie loosened so far the knot's halfway down his chest, leaning back in one of those crappy white folding chairs to prop one foot on the little round skirted table at the reception. Brian next to him, sitting a respectable distance away, somehow managing to sit up very straight and lean his elbows on the table at the same time. The chip on John's shoulder is so enormous as to be practically visible, but Brian's handling the whole situation remarkably well: a little red-faced from the cheap wine, but gamely making conversation with John's curious harpy great-aunts and squeezing John's thigh under the table when he starts to tense visibly.

Then later I figure John pushes him up against a wall near the restroom and shoves a knee between Brian's thighs and kisses him until they're both crazy. And then they drive back to John's place and have amazing tipsy sex and feel, simultaneously, resolved to avoid all family for the next ten thousand years, and kind of liberated for having actually gone through with the wedding. The End.

Mm. I had a nice fantasy going about that for a while. Let's see if I can remember it.

Ange (who is gorgeous and is wearing one of those low-in-the-front, even-lower-in-the-back wedding dresses) sees them arriving before the wedding, and her eyes get really big, and then she laughs herself into hysteria and has to have her mascara re-done. Mason makes a fist, and John steps back, and Brian holds out his fist and gets one of those fist-on-top-of-fist handshakes with a nod, as if to say, "Yeah, you go for it." (We never hear Mason say a word except "I do.")

Most of the guests, though, assume that they're just pals, except for one ancient, mostly deaf great-aunt, who's seated at their table at the reception, and who thinks they're terribly sweet and wants to congratulate them for being so open. Which is why, when the band stops, you hear her voice screeching out into the sudden silence, saying, "... but my Lucille, God rest her soul, always wanted to be on top, which played the very devil with my lower back!"

After a while, John asks Brian to dance, and Brian says, "Not a good idea," and John says, "Yeah," kind of sighs it, like he's disappointed, and Brian says, "Come take a walk instead." And he sort of casually slings his arm around John's shoulder, and John puts his arm around Brian's waist, and would slug anybody who said he put his head on Brian's shoulder, and in a slightly more private place Brian leans John up against a wall and kisses him, nice and slow, and doesn't stop even when people go by, and John pushes his hands under Brian's jacket and holds on to the back of his suspenders.

They go back to Brian's apartment, where he's hardly unpacked anything except this huge bed, and Brian pins John down on it, all slow and sweet, like they could do this any time they wanted to. And afterwards John's starting to drift off, and he says, "I can stick around, right? Sleep here?" and Brian says, "John. Two pillows. Two nightstands. Even you ought to be able to do the math."

Eeeee!

Excuse me while I go hyperventilate from squee.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Wow, I like your visuals -- I can see that posture on Brian.

I think I was writing my version here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/resonant8/104077.html?view=2107533#t2107533) at the same time you were writing this.

[persephone-il.livejournal.com]

I know that Sentinel is kind of a has-been for you, but I always wanted to know what happened to Scott after Nuance.

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

And yes.

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

Awww, yours is so sweet! Now I think I like that one better.

[sanj.livejournal.com]

*Happy sigh*

God, I love this story. Do I even have to say that to you any more? ;)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Well, it's always nice to hear, you know.
