When you don't know what you want
You end up finding that you haunt your own life

I'm drifting.

I tried to pay attention. But one day Bert told me they thought I should take a break, because of what happened. I didn’t argue. Should I have argued?

Nathaniel was so careful of me. They all were, even Jean-Claude.

I wonder if he’s sorry Micah's dead.

You're the daylight ghost that creeps
You're the empty city streets

Micah's dead. Because I wasn't fast enough to save him. I'm not sure what to do now.

All I want is him back.

Wow! Bert telling Anita to take a day off? :) Very cute songfic.

By the way, I was over at tth earlier and opened a new fic called "Inescapable". The author based it on your "Inevitable" and stated they were using your very own text and mixing their own in with it. I was the second person to view it. By the time I clicked back to the 'latest' part of tth to see if somehow my eyes had decieved me it was already taken off.

Way to go tth moderators!

Now, here's the question m'lady. Are you honored that someone liked your fic enough to write a fic based on it even if they used your text or are you irritated with it in general?

I have to tell you, when I read the disclaimer at the top that said the individual was taking stuff directly from "Inevitable" (that was in black script apparently) and only writing a little of their own in the beginning (which was apparently in blue script but I didn't see it) my first thought was "Mhalachai agreed to this?!?

Thanks

Yes, I know about it. It's sort of the same thing as catherinecookmn's Inevitable-based ficlettes, as long as I get credit for the content it's fine. Email me so we can chat more about this (mhalachai at gmail dot com)

You know...I hadn't thought of it that way, but you've really got a point. It truly must be something bad (like the sky is falling) if Bert volunteers a day off.

"Yeah, and send Bert to tell her. Make him earn his pay this month"
