A few Without a Trace links for carolinecrane

[ealgylden]

Yay! carolinecrane has seen Danny/Martin! Woo, a chance to pimp one of my fave rare fandoms! Yeah, it is a wee little fandom, but it does exist. There's the requisite Yahoo group, and there are a few (very few) authors writing Danny/Martin, though there isn't anyone writing long, plotty stuff yet, just little fluff pieces and vignettes. sarahchica has a few on her site (a few Nick/Greg ones, too)- it's a pity she's redone her layout again, actually, since the last one was Danny/Martin and very snazzy. Perpetual Motion has a few ficlets too, though her site hasn't kept up with her list postings, so there will be more (they're the fluffiest of fluff, though, and I don't know how you feel about that). Julian Lee has just started writing WaT- her "Secrets Vignette" done for therealjae's challenge is good, and I assume her next update will include the series she just posted to the list, three little vignettes that intersect with Perpetual Motion's "Just" series. Calysta Rose started a story (continued here, with cliffhanger) back in January, but I don't know if she ever finished it (and it's been so long since I read it, I forget what it was like. Oh well). And I have a few of lucy_fic's tagged in my fic memories- though again, I forget what they are. I suppose I should reread before posting links, but I have more enthusiasm than patience right now.

Also, keep an eye out for the repeat of "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been"- it's a good episode anyway, but it has the slashiest, sweetest scene at the end. I was all a-squee back when I first saw it and had to post the dialogue, but it was the acting that made the scene so great. You should see it (there are dialogue spoilers in that link, but no real, major plot ones- depends on your spoiler fear, I guess). "Victory for Humanity" (repeats on 7/17) has a great D/M dialogue scene too- just a little throw-away thing, but it has the same flirty, comfortable vibe that Nick and Greg have.

Hm, I wonder if I have anything else bookmarked? Off to hunt some more...

But I find myself wanting them to suffer, before I make them happy. Not any of the kidnappings and stuff that people like to throw onto their characters, but emotions.

Oh yeah, I'm a sucker for emotional pain. Makes the happy ending that much sweeter. And these fellas suffer so nicely. Danny in Clare de Lune is a wonderful thing (and subtly worried!Martin at the very end was very sweet). I wish we'd gotten to see a smidge more of Martin's reaction to the ending of "In Extremis," but the hints we got were good, and of course there's always the possibility of fic.

Viv is indeed married- when Jack's complaining that someday he'll be Bitter Old Divorced Guy in the dating video in whatever episode that was (maybe "Friendly Skies," but I forget and I'm too lazy to check), she jokes that her husband is looking better all the time (her kid was a cutie, though, wasn't he?). Sam is (understandably) a little gun-shy when it comes to dating, I think, what with Jack, the youthful ex-husband, and whichever bad exes gave her that "thing about men." But in general I bet it is hard for them to date outside of work (for lots of reasons, including the stress and lousy hours), and I'm pretty sure there are fraternization regs that make dating at work complicated (regs between peers, I mean, since we know from AYN... that there are rules against subordinates dating superiors). Poor kids.

the other is that "everyone" seems to love William Peterson

Yeah, why is that? I mean, he's not unattractive, but he's certainly not the Adonis that I see him treated like on various lists and messageboards. He looks like somebody's dad, or maybe a high school science teacher. Maybe we're missing something?

And since you don't object, I'm off to friend you. I know it's irrational, since it's really a "people I like to read/I have things in common with/I think are neat" list, but I still feel a little awkward randomly friending people, or I would have before now. This whole LJ adventure has been a learning process, that's for sure. *g*

Yes. I love watching Danny deal with his emotions. I love it, and this is somewhat weird I think, when he's talking to the girl at the end of CDL and his voice breaks. It just makes my heart break. The end of CDL, the whole 'would you like a cup of coffee' thing between Danny and Martin makes me so happy. Especially because of this 'moment' they have. And yes, IE needed more of a Martin reaction. And a fight, I would think, between Martin and Danny, because they held such opposite opinions. And, I suppose, we did see some of it in my favorite ep, AYNOHYEB?.

Oh yeah! There aren't enough happily marrieds on tv either. Ahh, WaT, you're a one of a kind show ;) And yes, her kid is SO cute.

I always refer to West Wing when it comes to dating rules, because the White House/West Wing rules are different than workplace rules. Which makes me wonder if FBI rules are different. And yeah, it probably IS hard. They don't seem to have a lot of free time. That's one thing I do like about CSI is that you see what the characters do in their free time. (Well, sometimes.) But it seems that WaT!Characters don't really have that much at all. Which would make it easier for them to date each other, or people in the police force.

He looks like somebody's dad, or maybe a high school science teacher. Maybe we're missing something?

Yeah. He's like that next door neighbor that gets your mail when you're on vacation and feeds your dogs while you're away. Not the kind of guy I'd like to slash. I mean, hell, I'd rather slash David Caruso's charater and Russell Crowe's character in 'Proof of Life' and William or Jack (although, I really love Jack. Carry over from Empire Records, I think.) But yes, we are so definitely missing something.

Oh mean, It totally understand. I've had this LJ for over a year, two in September, and I still have 'issues' with friending. Sometimes I friend random people, but only if they're in a fandom I like. I went through this whole boy band phase, when almost all of my LJ friends were in popslash. Then I 'left' (moved on to HP) and lots a lot of those people. But, most recently, my friends list has stayed the same -- or grown as I become more active in smaller fandoms with cooler people ;)
