Okay, so I was just talking to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
celli about Once A Thief...because, really, do I think about much else these days? No, I do not.
But anyway...yes I OT3, but I 'ship each of the individual combinations in the context of that OT3 pretty hard, including (much to my surprise) Vic/Li Ann. Like, I find myself going 'awwwww' at them a lot. They are so, I dunno, sweetly grown up together. Which I feel they need given I ship them both with Mac. Because, seriously...MY BOYFRIEND he might be, but dating Mac has got to be kind of like dating a (very hot and charming) hyperactive toddler. Sometimes the grown ups need adult time.
...and now I want fic where Vic and Li Ann tuck Mac in after he crashes following some insanely bad idea adventure and coo over how adorable he is when he's sleeping and then go on to cuddle on the couch and make out a lot.
THIS SHOW HAS BROKEN ME.

HOW? I mean, I'm not even sure he's that good of an actor, but he's just oozing charisma.
[note -- I may end up flailing at you in all of your future OaT posts until I'm done watching. I'm only through the second episode (first of the series after the movie)]

Well, I'm not sure it's exactly what you had in mind. It's 70,000 words long, and gets kinda dark at times—but there is, in fact, snuggling and making out on the couch. On multiple occasions, actually. In various pairings, and also all three of them together.
I hope it's not totally creepy and stalkerish to come back to this entry from October 2011 to tell you this, but you did plant a seed in my brain back then and now the fic exists!
(And since I can probably count my potential readership for this story on my fingers, without even resorting to toes, I am totally not above individually pimping it to people who might be interested.)
Anyway, please feel absolutely no obligation to go read it if you're not interested in these characters at the moment, or if you find my style not to your taste, or whatever! But just in case you might enjoy it, I wanted you to know it was there. :-D

I am so deeply enamoured of the way you took their core personality traits, Mac's recklesness, LiAnn's pragmatism, Vic's stability and really explored how each is both a strength and a weakness...and the way they overlap to cover each other. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I am bad with words but FULL OF MUPPET ARMS FLAIL!!! Made my day, you did.

Re: OaT OT3 :-)
I mean, for one thing, you gave me the idea for the fic in the first place. And for another, I watched your Girls Just Wanna Have Fun vid a bunch of times while I was writing, for inspiration. But since I do not actually internet-stalk you, I didn't really know what kind of fic you dig, so discovering that some of my favourite things are also some of your favourite things is absolutely fantastic! :-D

Haha, you say you are bad with words but actually you just distilled the emotional core of the story down to one sentence, expressing it better than I ever managed to myself. (When I was trying to wrap my own head around it, in the process of writing, I wrote paragraphs in emails to
So that will be helpful for if I write a sequel! :-D
Anyway, what I'm saying is I love your brain, and I'm honoured by your enjoyment of my story.
And I'm really excited to know that you're out there somewhere, loving Mac, Vic and Li Ann just as I love them!
Made my day, you did.
Right back atcha. :-D
