Update and fic
Jan. 17th, 2014 10:00 amI am here. I am carrying on. :)
Justified is back! And inspired me to go back and rewatch season 1 forward whilst working on other things. It got me thinking that it really is a very particular thing, moving back to a rural hometown that you never really intended to see again. That's not what the show is about, but then it sort of is in a way, and now that I've been back in my own rural, small-town hometown for a couple of years now that's resonating, especially juxtaposed against season 5. You don't intend to stay, but a couple of years down the road, somehow you're still there and so entangled in everything again that it's hard to pick up and go, and everything's a whole lot more complicated than it was ever supposed to be.
I quietly posted a story to AO3 earlier this week that's actually on a similar theme, in a way. I'm usually a pretty fast writer, but this is a story that revealed itself slowly, in bits and pieces and through several revisions. I started it almost eight years ago, and had a complete first draft at least three years ago, but it took a long time to get it to say just exactly what I wanted it to say. No story is ever perfect, so eventually you just have to stop and call it finished, but I think I finally got this one to where I always wanted it to be.

Fandom: Wilby Wonderful (2004)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Dan Jarvis/Duck MacDonald, Duck MacDonald & Buddy French
Additional Tags: Friendship, Suicide Attempt Aftermath, OCs, dealing with the past, life cycle of a relationship, Alcoholism, Canon Queer Characters, Coming Out, canonical background homophobia
Summary: The Watch scandal might have been averted, but for some people life on Wilby Island is never going to be quite the same again. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
I also just realised that I posted a bunch of stories to AO3 back in October that I never crossposted a notification about here. Well, that's all right. They're over yonder anyway.
