Pros Fic Reading Challenge - more by Elessar

[jat-sapphire.livejournal.com]

Um, I have a gripe. I know most of us have favorite tropes, and many writers have headcanon that turns up in more than one story.

But imagine this: Bodie and Doyle share a flat. They argue one night, and Bodie storms out, so he ends up sleeping in the VIP lounge. The next morning, red roses are delivered to HQ with a card saying, "I love you forever," and signed Rachel. Or Ramona.

I mean, OK. I am not moved to tears, but sure, I can go with that romantic gesture. Once. Not in two stories that are otherwise set in separate B/D universes. Tsk, tsk, Elessar. I hope you, fellow fans, read them in the same order I did, The first one had a premise I was barely there for anyway, and if it had been the SECOND one, I might just have quit reading Elessar.

Well, onward. (Nobody would do that THREE times. Right?)

I think it was supposed to be the same story, just maybe one was elaborating on what was mentioned in the first. I thought maybe the author just forgot what name they had put down for each story? I’m not sure, that’s just how it came across when I read them.

Maybe so. I felt like it got to the fight & night apart in different ways. Anyway, no third one, please
