Chapter 7
I finally managed to tire Flack out. I'm sure he'll be back, but until then, Greg Sanders is getting his rightful star turn on the fictional catwalk, yeah, on the catwalk. For those of you that have been following it, here is Chapter 7 of September When It Comes:

Reach Out, Touch Faith

In this chapter, the demon makes first contact.

Chapter Six
I was rummaging through my fic folders after NCIS and found an early draft of September When It Comes VII. I had originally intended it to be from Grace's POV, but try as I might, she never gelled in my mind beyond Greg's lovesick perception of her as his beautiful, fiery, battle-scarred siren of the arm crutches, and so I set her aside for the time being. Eventually, Conrad Ecklie knocked on the door and asked for a few words, and I obliged him.

I don't want Grace to be cast entirely by the wayside, though. After all it is her story-hers and Greg's, that is, reflected through the ever-shifting prism of everyone else. So here is the opening scene as I had originally envisioned it:




She had been working at her laptop after Greg left for work, the taste of him still rimed on her lips as she tapped at the keys, salty and tart and tinged with the wistful summer sweetness of tomato.  )
I've been in the throes of my midterm for two days, and it sucks because I couldn't give a damn. I don't give a rolling fuck about Kate Chopin or John Cheever, and I damn sure don't care about Ernest Hemingway. I want to fic and lollygag and daydream about libidnous NYPD homicide detectives, not analyze "The Story of an Hour" as a precursor to fem lit.

CSI was a hoot tonight. Turns out Greg Sanders, reedy lab rat extraordinaire, is into Mui Tai kickboxing. Who knew? God bless Greg, but he just doesn't strike me as a gym buff, and I wholly seconded Nick's look of polite disbelief. I would, however, like to lodge a formal fandom complaint against Nick's hair. It looks like he absconded with Marv Albert's portable coiffure. Why can't he just go back to Season 4 style and leave himself alone? While he's headed for the Fashion Wayback Machine, he needs to drag Greg with him. The shag 'do has gotten entirely out of control.

I have so much Flack love from last night. He was a delightful smorgasbord of snark and NYPD machismo, and I longed to jump him like a trampoline. Line of the night:

"You don't call, you don't write-I was beginning to think you were seeing other detectives."

Mwee!
