Story 88: "The Opposite of Impulse" by Maria Nicole

[wendelah1]

Nominated by yours truly, this charming, sexy, short story by Maria Nicole is perfect reading for a hot summer day. Pour yourself some ice cold lemonade, put your feet up, get comfortable and enjoy! A big hug for estella_c for helping to remember the author of this cute fic.

When the link goes dead after geocities closes this October, you can find the story at Gossamer. Sending the author some feedback might help encourage her to move her fan fiction site or to at least archive her fic elsewhere.

Edit: Thank you, reocities.

Unless there is a massive display of commenting enthusiasm, I am going to assume you've all gone to the south of France for the month of August and am putting the community on hiatus. If you are worried about running out of things to read, we posted a STORY A DAY last year from July 11 to August 4 and I know you haven't read them all. You can always read more of Maria Nicole's stories, too.

Suggestions for when we resume can be made here. I'll see you in September!

Yes! All those dream sequences, and their discussions about dreams, etc!

Plus, it's tied in to two of my favorite episodes, Folie a Deux and Field Trip!

i've actually become confused over this fic before. i've been talking with someone about Folie a Deux, and started to mention the follow up episode and had them go "huh? what follow up episode? there was no follow up episode to FaD," at which point i felt oh-so geeky.

and then it tied in with Field Trip so well. i think i actually preferred their weird 'thought transference' moments even more than the dreams.

I have turned "Bridge" into canon in my own mind, too. It so perfectly ties up all of the loose threads of those two episodes, plus she makes it look so easy to do.
