Title: Some Say (Don't Fall Away)
Author: behrbemine
Website: http://www.behrbemine.com/solemn/
Summary: She's lost both of her parents in the span of a middle school life. Now she's looking for reasons to live on without their support on which she used to rely.
Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own it.
Pairing: None, really. The story itself follows Dawson and Joey before romanticism can paint their lives in its confusion.
Note: tamingthemuse Prompt #40: Revenge is bliss.
Rating: PG, with dark imagery
Time frame: Takes place before the Pilot.
Feedback: Please. I need it now more than ever.

( She knew it intimately. Like the taste of Root Beer sliding down her throat... )

Prompt #39: The Fallen (Figure Skating RPF, PG-13, 1/1)

2007-04-21T18:29:00Z

Posted by: behrbemine.livejournal.com

Title: The Fallen
Author: behrbemine
Summary: Much of his true feelings are hidden in firm smiles and lies, but he never was able to lie to her.
Disclaimer: I don't know anyone mentioned in this story, nor do I dare to insinuate these things are actual happenings. Nothing is mine except the words that describe what's in my head.
Pairing: Johnny Weir/Sasha Cohen
Warning: This is a RPF (real people fic), about the two figure skaters and their life both on and off the ice. If this kind of thing squicks you, please move along.
Warning #2: Angst covered in angst sauce. You won't find happy fluff here.
Beta: Thank you, Richard, for the tremendous insight. Thanks also to oli...x for looking it over.
Note: tamingthemuse Prompt #39: Inertia.
Another Note: The sections in all italics are from the past, in case that's not clear. And lyrics used in one scene are from Nelly Furtado's 'I'm Like a Bird'.
Rating: PG-13
Time frame: Takes place during the summer of 2007.
Author's Note: I'm very nervous about this. It's basically my first time of trying to capture real people in the real world. My words tame the explosiveness of Johnny's personality and present a more somber image. Let me know your thoughts?

( He had been there since the lights started to blaze... )

GILMORE GIRLS fic: The Goodbye Girl (2/3)

2007-04-14T00:24:00Z

Posted by: behrbemine.livejournal.com

Title: The Goodbye Girl
Author: BehrBeMine
Summary: Shattered glass and overturned cars drive her to dredge up questions she'd long since left behind.
Pairing: Rory/Dean
Note: ggfic100 prompt #55: Spirit. tamingthemuse prompt #38: Abacus.
Warnings: Darkness, character death
Rating: R
Beta: Hasn't been properly beta'd this time. I've been sick, and things didn't fall into place all to plan. All mistakes are my own -- hope things turn out okay.
Note: All lyrics belong to Matchbox Twenty. Spoilers for 'Sphere' by Michael Crichton ahead (it's an older work).
Author's Note: Seriously, this story is like the darkest 'Gilmore' project I've ever tried to claim. When I see these scenarios in my head, I want to see them brought to life by the 'Gilmore Girls' characters. I guess I'm hoping other people can see beauty in the same thing. Be warned, this is dark.
Big Damn Table: right here.

Previous Chapter in Memories.

Chapter 2: The Ghost Of You

( I think I've already lost you... )

Title: The Goodbye Girl
Author: BehrBeMine
Fandom: 'Gilmore Girls'
Summary: Shattered glass and overturned cars drive her to dredge up questions she'd long since left behind.
Pairing: Rory/Dean
Note: ggfic100 prompt #02: Lasts. tamingthemuse prompt #37: Devotee.
Warnings: Darkness, character death
Rating: R (overall)
Beta: Lauren - - thanks.
Author's Note: Fear not, it is not a songfic. I place lyrics at the beginnings of chapters sometimes merely to set the mood. Sometimes musical artists can do this better than I can as I fumble for the right words.
Big Damn Table: right here.

Chapter One: The Sound of Silence

( Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense. )
