Jean gave Emma a harsh look as she came into the kitchen where Emma had been sitting, drinking tea and grading, since 4 in the morning.
“I had a very interesting phone call last night.”
Emma flashed her a harsh tight smile. “I’m sure it was interesting. You don’t have to destroy me though. She dumped me this time. I am… not enough for her.” She laughed, without any humor in it.
Jean cast her a confused sidelong glance. “I suppose I don’t have to destroy you then.”
“No.” Emma turned back to her papers. “It would be redundant.”

Emily came into the office and settled quietly into the chair. George glanced up and gave a small smile.
“I have a question this time.”
He blinked, surprised at her lack of prevarication. “Go ahead.”
“Is it… sane to have someone who…” She leaned her head against her hand, tipping it forward and letting her loose hair fall in front of her face. “Who you think your life would be meaningless without?”
“Sane?” George sat back in his chair and seemed to be considering it. “I’m not sure I could say it is truly sane, since so many irrational things have been done for it, but it certainly is the most common form of insanity I’ve ever seen.”

I stay up late at night hoping that you post a fic. I like Emily/Emma more than Emily/JJ and those two were my favorite pairings. I must say you are an awesome writer and I look forward to reading more from you.
Thanks

I hope you stay with me, as they continue to (or to not) figure these things out.

Date: 2010-02-09 08:18 am (UTC)I liked how you left an open window for them and us readers as I, oddly, got attached to them.
I'll be happy to read a new part of "the Diamond Universe" if you feel continuing that plot-line but I'm also "eagerly" looking for new chapters of you other stories (City on the River, It's Hard to be a Man, Bicker, ...) and especially your new 18th century one.
Thanks for your excellent work.

Date: 2010-02-09 01:55 pm (UTC)I do have a few more stories to tell in the Diamond Universe, but after chasing this one down, I'll probably give them a break and get back to some of the others. Especially the 18th century one!
a little more
Date: 2010-02-09 09:18 am (UTC)can i ask for more?
can we actually SEE a nice, sappy, happy ending?
please? :-)
Re: a little more
Date: 2010-02-09 01:45 pm (UTC)Oh there will be more, at least i don't think I can bear to leave them like this for long! But a nice, sappy, happy ending? Ask me something difficult, why don't you! :)
Re: a little more
Date: 2010-02-09 08:51 pm (UTC)from you? never. i have way too much respect for your talent :-D

Date: 2010-02-10 01:33 am (UTC)Don't worry. I'm planning on getting a few other things out before even thinking about the next part of this one.
It was a happy ending, in a way. Both of them had a chance to assert their power and come to terms with something that had been haunting them for a long time. But the other one had to suffer for each success.
But definitely, when I do write the next one (which I will, because there is too much shit that needs to happen to them), their relationship will have to be very different, due to this clarity. That could be fun. But other stuff first!

no subject
Date: 2010-11-23 07:37 pm (UTC)But, yeah. I feel for both of them right now and how they're both incredibly fucked up - I think I have a kink for fic where the characters are a bit messed up except fighting through it anyway. (Post-apocalyptic fics are win in this category, haha.)
