Title: Not Stopping
Author: Mariana O'Connor
Character: John and the boys
Rating: G
Time frame: pre-series, pre-Stanford, no spoilers
Pairing: none, gen
Disclaimer: Not mine, wish they were... *daydreams*
Summary: Everywhere they go, it's always the same.
Author's Note: Fanfic100 again... I'm getting along with that one alright. prompt 065 - passing



A smile, a nod and a small joke, idle flirting as you wait for your meal/drink/information.

“Yes they’re both mine, ma’am… 10 and 6/13 and 9/7 and 2… no it’s just me.”

Pity, a sad smile and a pat on the arm. Mothering now, not flirting, and with the information comes a plate of cookies and maybe a glass of milk.

“Thank you, Miss, it’s very kind of you.”

Then, always the same question: sometimes cautious, sometimes suspicious, sometimes (when the boys are a bit more grown up and the girl’s a bit younger) wistful. In response, the same words: sometimes contrite, sometimes amused, always truthful.

“No, we’re not stopping – just passing through.”

You put so much story into so few words, here, I'm awed and impressed. Deeply touching and insightful little vignette. Lovely.

Wow... such high praise - my head's gonna get even _bigger_ than it is already.

Love the icon, btw. It makes me giggle.

Thanks!

I like this a lot -- it works well, and you manage to say a lot in a very small space.

And you know, John.

That's good to hear. Thanks to NaNoWriMo I've taken to waffling a bit... heh. Nice to know I've managed to get over that. (Although, November's only a few months away so I'll be back to verbosity soon)

Thanks... I love writing John, there's so much he doesn't show, which is great from a writer's perspective.

Glad you liked it

Very good, all these repeated scenes. Plays like it could be in John's head.

That's sort of what I was aiming for, like a stream of consciousness through memory. All the scenes sort of blurring together.

Thanks!
