nothing can stop me now

Author: Nathalia
Rating: G
Challenge: Sour Grape #1 - nothing can stop me now
Extras / Toppings: pocky
Word Count: 100
Story: Misfits
Summary: Joseph is going to propose.
Notes: I’m joining Shayna’s pocky sundae challenge. Maybe it’ll help? I’ll try to catch up on reading over the week but real life is really busy. Anything I missed that you feel like I should check out?





"Are you sure about this?"

"I bought a ring. Of course I'm sure." Joseph snatched the small velvet box from Dennis' hand and stuffing it back into his pocket.

"Have you even thought this through? You realize she'll want to move in with us and that she and I don't really get along?"

"Actually, she wouldn't be moving in with us. I'd be moving in with her."

Dennis' confused look almost made up for his lack of support. He opened his mouth several times but nothing intelligible came out.

Joseph grinned. "Since you've been rendered speechless, I don't think I'll get any more protests, will I?"

Aw, I love when they were all young and carefree and not so damaged. Nicely done!

Uh, as for missing, I have no idea if you've missed anything of mine. I've been pretty hit and miss myself as far as writing. Marina and I finished TR/Taking Root a while back if you were reading that. Other than that, my stuff was all over the place. If you like a particular character or time period of mine, lemme now and Ill let you know if I wrote anything with them/from them :P

I'm not sure I feel like writing anything serious right now, so I might do more lighthearted stuff with younger characters.

I'll poke around your tag as soon as I find the time to. I think I need to restart reading TR, I think I got lost at some point.

gee, Dennis, one might think you had your own selfish reasons not to want them to get married... ;)

By that point, Dennis and Stella have broken up for quite a while and he's started to develop an irrational dislike for her. I keep thinking I need to change a few things in the early Dennis/Stella relationship and make it less well-developed and serious because I think it would work better if it was more subtle and they didn't go behind Joseph's back THAT much. It makes both of them look like the worst people in the world.

That sounds interesting. I always did feel bad for Joseph.

I also feel bad for him and I have so much trouble feeling that Stella and Dennis are very hard to like if they go behind Joseph's back like that. So maybe it's time for retcons and rewriting.

Dennis is just an ass who wants to keep Joseph to himself ;)

Got to agree, it looks like Dennis is having a few ulterior motives. He's ended up stuck in a 'what do I say to solve this one' snare. Always fun :)

I really like to put Dennis in uncomfortable places. He's so fun to torture.

Lol Joseph...this is the perfect way to spring that on Dennis, when he so totally deserved it. I will never complain about the fun, light-hearted stuff from you! :D

Dennis deserves whatever he gets at taht point in the story. And light-hearted can be so much fun :D
