That Horrible Moment When...

[asphaltcowgrrl]

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*

Sir Elton, for the win!

Agreed on all points. I killed Wes once, made Travis write his obituary and that ripped me apart. It had started as a writing exercise and turned into catharsis. So absolutely - sometimes that total breakdown is everything you needed in that moment. Definitely not for everybody but... yeah.

I just went and read this and I'm dying over here. My boss poked his head out of his office to ask if I was okay. And as far as having a screw loose, I once wrote a SPN/Chopped crossover so um, you wouldn't be alone at least. :D There's a time and place for everything, from seriously heart-wrenching to crackhead at its finest.

Ha. While I was writing it, I was almost crying with laughter, and I really wondered if it was just me....so I'm glad others got a real laugh as well. Interesting how some of these fics 'go,' right? Y'just never know....

I LOVE it when a fic gets a hold of me like that. It tends to make everyone around me lose faith in my mental health, but whatever.

Oh absolutely. I can't tell you how many have started out serious and ended in crack, or the other way around. That's the nature of art, I suppose.
