Stiff (Divergent fic, Four/Eric,R)

[ariadnes_string]

For some reason, I'm determined to finish my kink_bingo card by Wed. Here's the fourth out of five, in another extremely obscure fandom. The fifth, with any luck, will be super fluffy Lewis fic.

Title: Stiff
Rating: R
Pairing: Four/Eric
Warnings: dub-con,impact play, mention of canon childhood abuse.
Spoilers: major spoilers for Insurgent
Word count: ~1,150 wds.
Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me. No profit is being made from this work.

a/n: For the "rough body play" square on my kink_bingo card.
a/n: Major spoilers for Insurgent.
a/n: I'm grateful to frackin_sweet for the very helpful beta on this.
a/n: I meant to write a fic called "Four Times Four Took a Punch," just because I liked the title, but I stalled out on the first one.

Summary: There are things more dangerous than fear.

Hoping everyone caught in Sandy's path is staying safe and dry and warm!

this is what happens when you listen to audiobooks with your kids...

Send good Lewis thoughts this way!

Hope you didn't get too much rain/wind/snow (nothing particular here, thank goodness!)

Ah, ok. Do you sometimes tire of all these high concept YA novels? I just want a good old-fashioned story that doesn't rely on a big idea.

Hey, I've got 500 words of a Wallander fic! It's been painful. Rusty and painful. But I will prevail.

omg,I can barely stand them! I read the Hunger Games b/c son #1 read them, and enjoyed them--but it set me off on my usual rant about books structured like games. I also tend not to like zombie apocalypse/post-apocalypse narratives b/c doesn't history already offer us all the dystopias we'd ever want? And I don't like narratives that imply if you think of the right answer or make the right move everything will be okay--because,again, history begs to differ.

But we listened to the first Divergent book in the car, and I was interested enough to go on to the second, even though the boys didn't follow me. A strand of the plot is about mirror neurons, which was enough to keep me going. So, sometime I guess I do like them...

Yay fic!! I am making my slow way through 2x01 right now.

I'm gonna try to get another 500 words of Lewis done today!

I agree with you. I dislike that about HP, but the characters are great, as is the world-building, so I put up with the bullshit. When I first read them, I was, like, "But Harry defeats Voldemort by sheer CHANCE." And then, yeah, it's all over.

You are close to the part where Wallander is Very Fucked Up. I rewatched it the other night. Gnumf.

You write! Go!

No, HP gets a partial exemption for superb characterization (as does THG, though the characterization isn't quite as good). It's just something that makes me rant even as I'm enjoying something (rant at my own susceptibility to narrative manipulation), and cause me to be Too Critical of Books, as son #1 puts it.

Ugh, it's so cold and blustery here all I want to do is go back to bed and watch Wallander be Very Fucked Up. Fucking work :(
