I was dreadfully, dreadfully inspired by the
How Tim Lost His Virginity challenge. I wrote one Tim/Bernard fic, because I’d been tossing that particular bunny around for a while, and I wanted to write more. Because I love Tim. But it took this form, because I am contrary, and because I have never seen another character spend so much time and effort getting out of potential sexual encounters. I started listing instances in my head, and found even more as I went, and made some up, and the thing snowballed until…well, you’ll see.
(posted without a proper beta,
and currently without italics because between Word's unnecessary markup and LJ's crazy formatting issues, they were deleted. I'll fix that when I haven't been staring at a computer for six hours.) ETA: fixed! And I always feel like I use too much italics, but I discovered in editing this that the actual canon dialogue uses
way more
emphasis than the rest of this. Also, after this one, I give up. All my italics are going to look like /this/ in eljay from now on.
ETA AGAIN: I added four more snippits to this post for the sake of completeness. They
were hovering in limbo as their own little post, disconnected from the rest, but I'm collecting all my stuff on one page and thought I might as well fix that problem now. Also, I changed the Cissie bit because I was never quite happy with how it came out. The original version of that one is still down in the comments.
