So that’s my idea
Talk about 10 fics you wish you've written. Any fandom, any pairings, canon or AU, that's not important. Just explain why you appreciate them so much it’d be a pleasure to be their author
Well, my top 10, the ones I wish I've written, are
I discovered about Oz fandom last year, and this was one of the first fics I read. It wasn’t the very first one, but it’s the first one I remember. It was on June beginning, and I don’t remember much more about those days, just my father’s birthday party, because I talked a lot about fics, specially this one, to a friend of mine who was here. Rough Trade was amazing and scaring at same time, I barely slept and worked during those days, I had to read it entirely before doing anything else. All the BDSM info on chapters first and two made me feel uncomfortable, I’d never read so much about it before, but it made me look for more on net (and now I can say proudly
I wasn’t so sure about reading Twist of fate because it has an alternate ending. Hum, it meant the real ending was heartbreaking, and I was looking for not so angst fics by that time. But I decided to give it a try. OMG, it was perfect! In fact I enjoyed a lot the real ending, although the alternate one was also really well written too. Through all chapters I could see the story couldn’t end well, it made me want to scream, it made me want to cry – in fact I cried a little, inside a bus (I’m always reading fics while going to/coming back from work), when Chris explained to Toby’s kids he had to go to prison.
I just love the idea behind This kiss: what if Chris had told Toby the truth about Schillinger’s plans? Would Toby forgive (and eventually love) him?
Yeah,
I’ve read it on C5 group list, it was such a crazy idea: Jen, Kristin, El and Shug wrote about inmates’ shanks, can you believe that? Groves, Schillinger, Pancamo, Beecher, Keller, O'Reily, Said, Alvarez and Adebisi shanks talk a lot about their owners and wishes. It’s such an unexpected POV that each time I read Bleeding Edge again I discover something I hadn’t noticed before!
I. Love. This. Fic. That’s it. Angel wrote a different story to each day of New Year’s lockdown, I suppose it was really hard but Lockdown... it’s a masterpiece! And her disclaimers on all chapters are priceless too!
Finally something that’s not B/K!! LOL
Well,
That’s a gem! Back to S3, Chris trying to make Toby love him, Toby denying his own feelings. Jerking off moments. How couldn’t I love
Somebody talked about Heat, how it was a curious AU when Ozzies were living at Oklahoma in the end of 19th century. Chris is a photographer and rainmaker, the stranger who comes to change Toby’s life. No Schillinger, thanks God. So beautiful, I frequently read it again and again!
(there are many more fics I wish I’ve written, but I decided to talk about just 10, so don’t be angry with me if you don’t agree to this list! And to all those great writers I wrote about: sorry if I didn't send you feedback until today!!)

Aww, you're so sweet. Thanks, Adriana. I'm glad it moved you.
I think I'm the only one who *didn't* see a sad ending until I got to the last two chapters. Rebecca kept saying she couldn't imagine how it was going to end happily and I kept thinking I'll find a way. It was supposed to end happily! And then those pesky muses went and did things their way! Hmph!
Thanks for the kind words.
I can't believe that! I saw it from the beginning, when you wrote about Chris' trouble in accepting his own sexuality, and when he sent Toby to hospital after beating him. It was horrible to read, but made perfect sense, totally connected to canon. I think that's why it wasn't so hard to understand the sad ending, I *do* like the alternate one but the first you wrote didn't destroy the beauty of your fic!
I hope they'll keep doing that, because they're great!
And to answer your question, I think only freaks like Katherine McClain are able to resist Keller's charms... LOL.
But that "shameless morsel of smut" is amazing, one of my all-time favorites!!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you liked it! : ) As for writing more stories like that...well, I'm definitely going to try to write some more smut soon, and yeah, Chris might be pretty aggressive in it...so it might be right up your alley! *bg*
