Re: Trainwreck Reviews
MJ -
This is one of my all-time favorite Zen fics. I've had it bookmarked ever since I found it at FF.net.
Quote:
Right there, in public, pressed up against the wall, the two whispered together, fingers linked as she pulled him, pushed him toward the elevator. She didn’t even try to hide the way the pink dress rode up higher than it should, how the one strap of her little dress hung down, offering one elegant round shoulder.
And then she turned halfway, met Kendall’s gaze… and it was a something, something dark and hungry… Kendall flinched, lowering her head, trying to beat down the something that flexed back excitedly, leaving her feeling shamed and dirty.
Oh my. What a visual. And what a turn-on at the same time.
Quote:
But your eyes like midnight fireflies
Light up the trenches where my heart lies
Until I can see again
Find my way back again
This fic made me go look for this song.
Quote:
Kendall found it fitting to be caught out, searching for her keys, in the middle of a storm. She’d been conceived n the middle of a storm like this, maybe God would strike her down with a bolt from above, smite her before she ruined all life beyond recovery.
What a sad view of her life.
Quote:
She just stared, almost looking look like one of those lifeless porcelain dolls his mother had collected. And it sickened him. She wasn’t some empty husk of ruffled lace and pale porcelain… Kendall Hart was life… or, at least, she was supposed to be. This was just wrong. Setting down the candle, he headed over, crouching long enough to get a hold on her.
The picture here is amazing. I love that he thinks of her as "life".
Quote:
I've no fear at all
To fall so deep into you
Loose myself completely
In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased
Kendall's MO.
Quote:
He was warm, a marvelous heat that pulsed with a quiet heartbeat that made parts of her flex and tighten in eagerness. His pulse started another heartbeat, one beneath her, between her, in that oh so sacred space that should never be questioned for its cravings. Kendall struggled past it, struggled to shake off the growing haze of hunger that was slowly unraveling all the good work she’d done as he’d prepared the fire.
She wanted heat, wanted something to satisfy that something inside her, that something that he was so easily causing to stir and shift in excitement. He was heat, she thought drunkenly, he was heat and warmth and everything that she needed and wanted and, oh, god… oh god, oh god, oh god…
Wow. Just wow.
Quote:
“What do you want?”
She shouldn’t answer, shouldn’t speak, shouldn’t give voice to these thoughts in her head, shouldn’t… “I want…” She shouldn’t do this, let him know, let him see… “I want to want.”
She''s so broken. That last line just kills me.
Quote:
She whispered against his skin, murmured words and he smiled slightly at the flush of moist heat at her voice.
Her words, softly muffled were nonetheless clear to him, clear as the fact that they’d be spending the day at the casino, which was, to judge by the lack of emergency calls, still fine… “I want you.”
*sigh*
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Pain and hope interwoven beautifully.

Re: Trainwreck Reviews
This was another one of those fics where I started to pick out my favorite parts and realized I was quoting darn near the whole thing.
I love a fic that doesn't spoon feed every little "he said," "she said" bit of it, that makes you think and process and understand, and this one did it for me.
And I love, love, love the descriptions that go beyone "her sparkling blue dress" and "his fiery grey eyes"--which is not to say that either of those would be a bad description, I just love the language you use to bring out their emotions. It's more in the tone of your words, even than the words themselves. I don't even know if that makes sense, but I can't think of any other way to describe it right now. Here's an example of what I mean, and I had picked out a whole lot more, but, as I said, when it was all said and done, it was pretty much the whole fic.
Quote:
Kendall was vaguely aware of the life going on around her. It was like a muffled sitcom going on around her, a kind of fuzzy something that didn’t really matter. She tried to make it matter, tried to draw it around her like a winter coat, but it felt like, the harder she tried the harder it was to follow. Kendall tried to care about the fact that Greenlee was in the restroom with David, was screwing him between his shifts anywhere she could find him… at the hospital, at Fusion… she’d caught them, last night, on Greenlee’s desk, watched in sick fascination for several heartbeats before rushing out to her car, shaking and shivering and cold.
Fabulous!

Re: Trainwreck Reviews
Missy, I love this. It had me near tears, hearing their pillow talk (and yes, I did actually hear it in my head. It was fabulous!) I wanted to quote all the lines I loved, but again, there were so many. It started with:
Quote:
He loved her… he loved her… he loved her…
and then there was this:
Quote:
For several moments they were just a flurry of movement, trying to get comfortable and, finally, happily, they settled. It was broad daylight and, in Pine Valley, electricity was being given back to many… right now, the two lay together, warm and completely calm. He breathed in the scent of her, one hand spread across her back.
“I never would have pictured you as a big snuggler,” she murmured into his chest; he smiled, brushed a stray curl from her face, and he decided that he liked how well she fit against him when they laid together… perfect fit, in every little, important way.
and from there, the whole "I'll make you feel like a woman" talk knocked my socks off.
More, please!
Thank you, KZ, for the lovely avi and banner.
