Coming Soon (hopefully)

[serafina19]

As some of you know, I'm in need of a new laptop. I am also in the middle of a crazy time at work, so I'm not sure when I'll have time to write again. That said, I do have a bunch of projects in progress, including a few fics that I can return to now that I don't have a massive story taking up my time.

In the meantime, I thought I'd give a taste of what's to come... along with a way to keep myself honest and finish some of these fics, even if these excerpts change in the final product.

Enjoy!


Warning: There is coarse language below.



1) Oliver got up from the couch, walking slowly towards where she was standing. When he first saw her, he thought it was weird that Lois was wearing Chloe's dress, but one look at her bed and Oliver could see that Chloe wasn't there. Taking the woman's words into consideration, there seemed to be only one explanation, one he had to tread carefully with if he was wrong. "Chloe?"

She hadn't heard him, but she answered the question anyway. "Just when I thought this birthday couldn't get any worse."


2) She wanted him, but knew it was a pointless battle.

Sure, she had felt his stares, the way he analyzed the dress that hugged her curves. After all, she purposely chose this colour to get his attention, and it made her feel amazing, sexy even.  For once she was being noticed, looked at as something desirable, but when she finally looked at him, Oliver was looking at the elevator, towards a figure she knew all too well.

Lois, she thought, of course.

Chloe had hoped he had gotten past the days when they fogged up elevator glass, but it appeared that once again she fell to being the bridesmaid of her beautiful cousin.



3) They could be tights.  It didn’t matter if she ever said it again, but goddamn it, they could be tights if she came back to him.



4) She knew this was wrong. Heck, this wasn't even a line she considered crossing before ten seconds ago. The difference between then and now was that now... she didn't care. She wanted this.

It didn't matter that she knew he wanted someone else. It didn't matter that this didn't mean anything. That was why it worked.

Tonight was a night of too much scotch and one question. What the hell?

5) “Ollie... you’re looking at that poor soul as if he pushed Chloe down a flight of stairs.”

“It’s nothing,” he muttered.

“Right,” Lois replied, tempted to tell him that his knuckles stated otherwise. Instead, she said, “While you’re convincing yourself of that fact, I’ve got a story to write. I’ll catch you later Oliver.”

Not waiting for his response, Lois walked away from Oliver, making sure to stop at a nearby booth so she could get her quotes while keeping an eye on things. Sure enough, Oliver had walked over to Chloe, smile firmly on his face as he offered a hand to help Chloe up after her mysterious saviour disappeared.

Nothing my ass, Lois thought as she continued through the convention.

Hopefully some of these seem interesting. If there's one that speaks to you, let me know. There's still a lot of writing to be done before these (and other ideas!) get posted, but I figured this was better than complete radio silence. Fingers crossed that I'm right.

If there's one that speaks to you, let me know. I have to pick one? That's too hard!

I love how you opted for snippets to convey the tone of the stories rather than outright summaries, although that just makes me want to read all of them. Right now. :D I'm having fun trying to guess the plots, and with a couple of them I think I can come pretty close.

I guess after your very AU piece (which you know I adore) it would be a nice change of pace to get back to canon a bit. So either 1 or 5 would be my choice. But you should just work on whatever is going to be easiest or makes you happiest because they all look SO GOOD.

They could be tights. It didn’t matter if she ever said it again, but goddamn it, they could be tights if she came back to him. Awwwwwwwwwww :(

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

I did say If, so you didn't have to pick just one ;) However I'm glad that these catch your interest.

I hate summaries. I think I've liked a grand total of 3 that I've written, so the snippets were the only way to go. That... and two of these are already in progress, so the titles may ruin the fun.

Honestly, I have a feeling #1 is going to be up first. I've been writing it on my lunch break at work, but it could also bring me lots and lots of trouble as it keep growing, but we'll see. As for 5, well, I have a lot to post before I get to that part, but that's why this serves as motivation.

And in regards to your "Awww" that is actually the only thing I have written for that one-shot. But I love it too and I'm planning to write around it soon.

OMG they all talk to me
I'd love to read everything lol
:)
Thanks for sharing

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

I can work with that. I'll try to get this up as soon as I can.

Thanks!

All of those snippets sound intriguing. I'm guessing maybe #1 is a bit of a reversal on Hex? Maybe?

Whatever Chlollie you write, I'll read.

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

Awesome. #1 is basically playing with the idea of Oliver being more involved in Hex. It keeps growing on me, which has me a little worried that I'm getting carried away again, but I'm glad you're looking forward to this one (and others). Thanks!

[chlollifan84.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I loved all these snippets. I really can't wait to read you again. Thanks for this little preview.

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

That's great to hear, thanks! I appreciate the feedback and I hope to post something soon.

[hellzz-on-earth.livejournal.com]

I'm greedy Sera. I love them all. So whichever one you give us first I'll be happy. Than the next and the next and the next. lol
Happy writing girl!!!

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm planning to write them all, so I'm glad you look forward to them all. I might even try to post something sooner than expected...

(Thanks by the way!)

[sv-chlollie-fan.livejournal.com]

Hmm...to be honest I only like #3 and maybe #5 and I can't wait to read it.
And from all of these projects the second and the fourth getting less sympathy from me, it touches the subject that I hate the most from SV, which is Oliver and lois and here it looks like it'll be a love triangle between them, with Chloe being a sort of a consolation prize,which make thinks even worst.
And because of that I usually avoid certain kind of stories and that's why for example I hadn't read Breakeven or Love by a different name,it's just give me more tears than pleasure to read about the thing in Chlollie stories over and over again and even harder when they're still together in some,but don't worry that's just probably only me and even if I won't be able to read these fics.I still will be happy that you're writing and posting a new ones.

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

I'm not worried, in fact, I truly appreciate your honesty. There is nothing wrong with having a particular type of story that you prefer and I understand that you like to smile when you read a fic.

Your points actually made me realize that I included more "Lois" than I intended, which is odd considering that I don't see that part playing a big role in most of these. In particular, #2 plays more with the concept of perception versus reality.

That said, if you want lighter... you'll probably prefer 1 to 5. There's a lot of angst before that scene rolls around.

Again, thanks for your feedback. I hope you enjoy the ones you're looking forward to.

[sv-chlollie-fan.livejournal.com]

Im'glad you're not.And I don't mind to read some angsty stories from time to time, just this one specific thing is unreadable for me now, especially with oliver and lois still as a couple at the beginning.It's just too wired... and it's give me some kind of a soap opera vibration.
This is actually the reason why I love so much AU stories, where Chloe and Oliver have a chance to meet first ,like it supposed to be.
Anyway, good luck on your new projects.:)

[jessicakadie.livejournal.com]

Well all of these sound absolutely wonderful (of course), but I'm really interested in 5 in particular, love me some jealous Ollie :)and 1 sounds awesome, love the idea of more Chloe/Oliver interaction in Hex. And honestly, the other ones sound pretty angsty, which of course I can deal with, I mean I absolutely loved "The Longer You Run" which was angst-galore (to me at least), so I definitely have no problem reading anst fics. But I think it'd be awesome to read some lighter (not necessarily fluff) Chlollieness from you. and #2... with Lois... eeehhh. Sorry, absolutely hate Oliver/Lois, like SV Chlollie Fan said, really wouldn't be thrilled to read a fic that contained that. I mean, I would read anything Chlollie-related you write because your fics are so well-written, but I'm really uncomfortable reading Oliver/Lois (even if Chollie is the end game).
Anyways, really excited for whatever fic you decided to write whenever you get the time! :)

[serafina19.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a good thing you like angst, because to get to that point in 5... it's a lot of angst. Probably more than the rest combined if I do it right.

I'm blaming stress for the angst, but #1 is turning out to be a lot of fun for me to write. Still a ways to go, especially upon re-watching Hex, but it's like a breath of fresh air. That said, 3 and 4 are probably going to posted first. Maybe after that I can look at some of my lighter fics that I've put on hold.

That leaves 2, which is an idea I've had for a long time and while I can't find a way to end it, I almost want to finish it to see if you both read it. After all, there are two sides to every story.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope to end the hiatus on the weekend.
