New Fic: Upheaval.
Permalink  
 

I have a new one shot up at fanfiction.net.

It is connected to the 'The Eve Of...' two parter that i wrote a little while ago and i had considered making it the third chapter but it is over 4k words long so i thought it would be more suited as a stand alone one shot.

It is set between the events of '1955' and 'The Graveyard Shift'. It deals with the subject of grief and involves Hal, Annie and a bed but not in the way you're probably thinking...wink

I hope that you like it smile

I feel slightly awkward and it sounds glib that I always say your writing is epic Lisa, but yet another wonderfully paced, moving, insightful, clever and lovely piece! It flows beautifully is easy to read yet has depth and once again the way you get inside the character's psyche is incredible. You make it look easy because it is so imaginable, but it is testament to your own insights on the characters that this emerged. It struck me while reading that when an actor researches for their character, their backstory, their motivations, their inner world....this kind of thing would be dream..and your fanfic could almost be like script companions to Hal.

Oh you've made me blush Domino. Thank you for your lovely words.

The inspiration for this fic was partly the bed. It starts in Hal's room and it ends up in Annie's room (you see it in 'A Spectre Calls and it's definitely the same one). I wanted to write a little more about Hal's feelings of grief and feeling out of place in new surroundings and this is what emerged. As always what i had in my head doesn't always emerge in the final edit. I was going to have a final scene where Hal would just break down completely in the privacy of his own room but show the outside world a completely different face but instead i went with a 'not quite' scenario right before Tom knocks on his door and i think that works much better, fits more with his personality. I also think that having a son with autism with a touch of mild OCD (he likes things tidy and 'just so', doesn't like to be touched by anyone he isn't comfortable with and dislikes any change without preparation or warning) helps too, i find aspects of his personality similar to Hal's so i drew on that a little.

Once more Domino, thank you for such a lovely review :) x

We are even on the emotional reaction front then Lisa, because you made me cry

A much as I would love to read your version of Hal completely losing it, I think you made the right choice with the 'not quite' scenario, it seems more fitting with the tension and ebb and flow of his character , it is that dance of polarities and walking the knife edge but never fully falling off that makes him such an engaging character.

Thanks for sharing about your son, I hope it works both ways, and gives you insights that help you too. :)
