It means a lot to me. A fic this long, you have to have some reason other than "fun" to keep going.

Yeah... it helps that they're also fairly cooperative. It's not difficult to write them. Although as a side effect it's difficult for me to write female characters now, or first-person. Oops.

It's gonna be a pretty epic last chapter, though. All I know other than that line is that Roland gets to narrate :D And he's a joy to write.

I just try to keep that in mind.

Excessively amused by this silly mad-scientist-love-poetry I just found on my desk. Imma go type this up.

"mad scientists in love"

I can't get us a table
at the best restaurant in town
but you bet I'd forge consent forms
'cause I know you hate that shit.

(And you know I'll be awake at 3
just waiting for your call
'cause you never got the hang of time zones
and haven't slept in a week.)

You know, all you have to do is ask
and I'd make a midnight coffee run
'cause I know that you can't live without it
and I know just how you like it, too.

(I won't ask you funny questions
if you come home covered in blood --
and you know if you would just 'fess up
this would all be much less awkward.)

You know I think your work is awesome
and you know I think you're great,
so can we just get it over with --
do you want to date or what?

(We could make it scientific --
I know you love your girlfriend,
so let's just keep things as they are --
the status quo is fine.)

You don't want it scientific!
I see the way you look at me --
Not that I mind, it's just --
Well, yeah, I guess, I do love her...

(Oh God, come on! Forget that girl --
I doubt she could deblood a lab coat
or anything that I can do --
Not that I'm gonna push you into anything, though.

...

Hey you.
You're great.
Be mine.

Coworker romance: way more fun with mad science.
