I was combing through some old fic files and found about 1,600 words of a false start I wrote for medea_fic's RPF exchange prompt, the one that eventually became Feels Just Like It Should. Reading over it, I realized that it's probably too specific for me to cannibalize for another fic, but I like some of it, so I thought what the hell, might as well post.
The prompt was for Chris and Zach to compete to see who could go the longest without jerking off. What didn't quite work about my first attempt was that I set it during the filming of the second movie, and there seemed to be too many chances for them to cheat on the bet without getting caught. I suppose I could have made it work, but it was just easier to set it during the press tour, when they would be around each other all the time and know if the other was illicitly beating his respective meat. And then they started arguing in my head about donuts, and that was that.
Anyway, this is most of what would have been the first scene, plus two random scenes after that. They are in no way complete or well-edited; I just kind of like them and wanted them to see the light of day, the poor neglected things. Uh, PG for adult themes, I guess? Stuff in bold is my notes.
( 'I don’t know, like, a week? Why what’s the longest you’ve gone without?' Karl asked. )
So, like I said, just randomness, but since I haven't posted fic in forever, I thought it might be nice to give you a little snippet of something. I AM WORKING ON A THING, I SWEAR. IT IS A FUN THING. YOU WILL LIKE IT. WHEN I FINISH IT.
