That Horrible Moment When...

you read what might be the perfect prompt and realize you can't fill it because someone might come for you.  Forget the pitchforks and torches, this would be full-on battle mode.

From today's episode of comment_fic where the theme is doomed love, I get this:

Any; any/any/any; when one of them dies, the other two fall apart

Yeah, I really ought to step away from the internet now before I more than abuse one of my favorites.  *sits on hands*

It could be a dream, might be worth exploring

I was thinking along those lines myself. Either that or a horrible miscommunication of sorts. Not sure if I want to make myself cry today or not. :D

Save it for when the crying is okay. I couldn't do it today, but...

I think it's definitely something to explore as a writer!

I've only done something like this twice (and once was an Almost Human fic and Dorian is an android so he wasn't really dead just... deactivated), and it hurts each time. So yeah, I will definitely hold onto it because it's a VERY good exercise.

I've only done it once. ONCE! And even then I didn't deal with the aftermath. *sigh*

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

That's funny because the one actual character death I dealt with centered around the partner left behind writing an obituary for the one that was lost. The aftermath is always the hardest though.

Maybe it's just that I'm in it for the porn and that is SO NOT MY KINK. ;)

Hah! Can't argue with that logic, can I? Besides, there are SO MANY kinks that are a lot more fun than death!
