New chapter

[gwyn]

And thus concludes the incredibly busy fic month:

Part 3 of Ciudad de Estrellas: Pavement is up now, in which Brian and Dom do a lot of driving around, Brian tries to keep everything together, and Dom gets to go all sick-house on people.

And now I'm going to walk up to Starbucks and treat myself to a chai for all this writing. Others might not think it's that much of an achievement, but I sure do -- 30,000+ words on three separate pieces in one month. I'm exhausted!

whee, enjoy your chai. we just watched Fast & Furious last night, so time to catch up on fan fic.

Aww, honey, you're killing me here. This incredibly tough and vulnerable Dom, Brian stepping up to the plate...all of the maneuverings and encounters with the darker underworlds Dom moves in. This is really excellent.

Thank you! I need to catch up on your new stuff -- I have been in and out all weekend and I keep spying it on the drive-by, waiting for me!

Oh, God, I love this fic so much. Just...*heartpang.* Poor w00bie Brian. Poor w00bie Dom. I loved your Hector.


"Wow, man. I never knew."

After a few minutes Dom turned and asked "Knew what?"

Brian grinned. He knew that would get him. "That I had the power to make you speechless."

::giggles delightedly::



Loved the exposition of Mia being the messy one. My fav part yet. Can't wait till you come out with the next one!

Thanks! Yes, they are my poor woobies too, and even though some better things are coming, so is more suffering and angsty crap. I love making my boys suffer.

Congrats on getting something posted by your birthday...and happy birthday!

Love the addition of the lines to the Volkswagen part. Mmm, Dom and Brian driving off into the sunset with the top down on a Ghia...*swoon*

But: *mourns King* I hope you bring him back somewhere else.

Shit, now I'm embarrassed. I honestly didn't see the King part as I scrolled through looking for changes. It's time to get off the internet when I think my browser is hiding things from me.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't be. I shortened a little of the dialog and tried to tighten a couple of spots, so it's not surprising you didn't see it if you were scrolling past. I never stop tinkering till I put the damn things up.

Just popping in to wish you the happiest of birthdays. :)

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was a pretty darn good one!

so tickled to see another part of this - it's a great story, and I keep getting all tangled up in what's going on. the tour through Dom's criminal connections was so well done, and definitely an eye-opener for Brian, although it looks like he's with Dom for the long haul.

I loved King a lot; his mini-golf course sounds like it would be tons of fun.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, I love creating OCs and even though I know most of fandom doesn't like them, it's my writing background creeping in, I guess. King was a fun one, kind of a variation on guys I've read about in crime stories. And I so want to go to his golf course!

Happy Birthday.

Loved King.

And still loving the slow build of UST in this one, not to mention the little glimpses into the nooks and crannys of Dom's life.

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, I love King too. I almost wish I could figure a way to bring him back so I could get more to do with him!

Thank you for the excellent present to us on your birthday - you're unique, do you know that? And special. And Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

I just finished part 2 tonight and this is the image I will be carrying to bed:

"Instead he dropped his clothes on the floor and felt his way over to the corner chair, easing himself into it as if he was in too much pain to stand. Almost lying back, he leaned his head against the wall. Dom was completely naked; Brian could see the hard outline of muscle in the low light filtering through the curtains, the gleam of his skull. A white river of towel flowed down the middle of his torso, one end just covering his cock, the other bunched up in Dom's hands as he pressed it to his face. He was obviously hurting and tired, even though his face was obscured. It was as if he couldn't bring himself closer by getting in bed."

Thanks, this is building very slowly and nicely.

I'm *loving* this story, savoring the textures and depth you're bringing to their relationship.
