How big are your hands?

[hackthis_archive]

It's late and my feet hurt and I haz two questions for my omnipotent flist:

a) Where the hell is the community for Mad Men fic? This is just ridiculous. I need to read the fandom take about [all that spoilery stuff for the season finale].

2) On the subject of Brad/Nate, since I am always on that subject, if you could make me write any sort of porn featuring them, what would you want to see? I'm looking for ideas. Prompts, graphics, or even a "Nate should write all of his class notes on Brad's back, starting with the nape of his neck, and then he has to lick them off when he's done type of thing, and this is naturally complicated by the fact that Brad's totally rutting against the mattress." Or something. I'm not so much at a loss for 'ideas' as much as I can't seem to pick just one. It's like the M25 at 8:30 on Monday morning in my head when it comes to Brad & Nate.

I instantly flashed to a (v. v. pleasing) mental image of Nate leaning against an alley wall, with Brad draped over him, biting his neck. they had just left the beach and couldn't wait to get home

That... I like that... I will ponder this.

::jumps up and down:: Ohmygosh! Remember "I Donated Myself to the Mexican Army?" Ya know, that story you wrote? Of course you do. Remember this:

"I'm not queer, but I'm going to fuck you, Lieutenant. You should probably get used to the idea."

Dude. ::points:: That! Their coming home, I-told-you-I-would-and-I-keep-my-word porny romp. Only, hmm, that could get all fucked and angsty because they're going home, only they left shit all fucked up. Or, wait, maybe Brad's all relentless about it and Nate's trying to be all reasonable and like, 'we are NOT in Iraq anymore,' but what Brad's really doing is distracting him from his newfound I-hate-the-world philosophy. And getting some. Because he promised.

Damn, I should really finish that Brad-knocks-Nate-out-of-his-bad-mood-by-feeling-up-Walt story. Shoot. Now I need to rewatch the depressing male director eps.

ANYway. Um, I had a point. Brad/Nate is good, that's today's lesson. And Brad should get some, even if Nate is NOT used to the idea. 'Cause how do you get used to the idea of sex with Brad?

...or you could do the licking thing. Licking is never bad. Then again...did Nate write the notes in PEN? 'Cause licking that shit off would take a while.

Wow, I am going to bed because obviously I cannot be trusted with a computer.

Aw, man. I made new icons and didn't load them. Boo. Guess half-naked Colbert will have to do.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought you were writing porn, what the hell ever happened to that?

Also, I will ponder this. Someone below mentioned that Nate could come visit Brad when he's training in London and I was all, Brad's in London? Why did nobody tell me this before? Do you know how much I could do with that?

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Dude, I sent it to suaine 'cause I was all 'omg! POV shift!' and didn't know what to do with myself. I...think I might have broken her. Hmm, I should actually check in with her about that.

but there's other porn. There's LOTS of porn. Nate and Brad are porny. Go figure.

I was all, Brad's in London? Why did nobody tell me this before? Do you know how much I could do with that?

Err...whoops? I thought you knew? It's in the Epilogue to the GK book:

"Upon his return, Colbert received one of the highest honors in the Marine Corps, a combat meritorious promotion to staff sergeant. He was nominated to enter a two-year exchange program with the British Royal Marines, with whom he is now serving." (351)

Oh, look, I'm typing out quotes from the GK book for you. IT'S JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS. Second Platoon returned to Pendleton in June 2003. (350). At the end of the Epilogue he notes the timeline when he says, "As this book goes to press, the men in Bravo Second Platoon, along with the rest of First Recon, are in Fallujah, Iraq." (354) That would put the info current as of June 2004. In his updated Afterword he says that Colbert just returned from combat deployment in late 2007 (357). So it would seem like Colbert went to England sometime in late 2003, stayed two years, came home in late 2005 and was redeployed.

Fick left the Marines in August 2003. Wright's comments in the book imply he started his dual degree program at Harvard in 2004 (I assume he started on the normal MBA schedule, so that would put it at August 2004). I can check Fick's book if you'd like. I don't recall if it's more specific about dates.

Also, I just want to note, the kind of disastrous ambush in Fallujah happened on April 7, 2004, when Colbert would have been in England. That was when Fick's replacement, Captain Morel, was killed. Fick, in his book, does tell us that he was kind of having a hard time at this point.

Ah, I've not actually read GK yet. There's a lot happening, I've not been actually able to read any books, since, oh, August. Oh, but my version of GK doesn't even have an epilogue. I forgot about that. I do have lots of porn ideas though. Of course the ideas were never the problem, the being able to pick *one* that's been the problem. Well, that and actually writing the story. Hell, sparky77 saw about 10 pages of outline for HS AU, which was pretty much all narrative.

I like this UK idea though. I wrote a whole outline in somebody's comment to this post.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. Let me know if you need any info from the 2004 Epilogue/2008 Afterword. Wright gives updates on what the guys did, who was still in, etc.

I do have lots of porn ideas though. Of course the ideas were never the problem, the being able to pick *one* that's been the problem.

I hear that. Stupid horny BOYS.

That makes me so, so happy.

I know! I love it! Especially this:

all the Brits have been forcing him to chose a team to support -- and then we're going to an impossibly expensive hotel and having obnoxiously loud sex. And Nate's like, okay, that works too.

Know why? 'Cause the Brits would SO make Colbert pick a team. He's there for two years! And just watch him get all into it - in spite of the fact that he doesn't even care about US sports, but there it's a culture thing - and Nate's all 'when did you transform from a tech geek into a meathead jock?!'

Also the obnoxiously loud sex. Heh. Those rude yanks.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You can't live in the UK for longer than, like, a month and not support a footie team. I think its grounds for deportation. Brad is actually built just like a football player, long and lean, their muscles are just, and they have this incredible stamina, like... ANYWAY. I vastly prefer real football to the American version if you can't tell.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Ooh, they try to recruit him to the local league. And one of the British Royal Marines, like, has designs on his virtue. And Brad's like, 'pfft! If you'd SEEN my former platoon commander...' And then he does 'cause Nate shows up.

I vastly prefer real football to the American version if you can't tell.

As do I. And I find it charming that Alexander still supports his (bad) hometown football team instead of trading up.

Hmm, well certainly I've entertained a few ideas here and there of what it would be like if Brad simply bent Nate over the back of his bike. Really I wouldn't be surprised if that had crossed more than one person's mind at this point. Also, I dunno, something involving them rushing through sex, not quite a frenzy, but definitely hurried, maybe they're down to the wire or whatever but just the image of them being a bit desperate about it, about wanting it always seemed pretty hot to me. Also, sand. Because then they could bitch about it at length afterwards. And in case of hypothetical high school AUs, underneath the football field bleachers at night is always A+ in my book :|b

Granted there is also that purely crack-induced foursome idea I've had involving Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte which I'm a little ashamed to admit to thinking about but as I still haven't even ironed most of the kinks in that one out yet (like y'know how? and also, why?), I'll refrain from further burdening you with these "thoughts" of mine.

Also, you may possibly find what you seek at madmen_tv? Not sure how much fanfic is being generated about Mad Men but it could possibly be somewhere to start?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I knew somebody was going to bring up the high school AU. That concept has not be completely abandoned, but my brain is just like, "dude, that's like, do you know how long that would be? So I'm trying to find a compromise that won't be like pushing a watermelon out of my nose."

Someone else tried to sell me on some sort of Michael/Ryan/Nate/Brad thing... I thinK I even did a comment story about it somewhere. It involved Michael trying to pick up Nate at some bar (love that Baltimore hometown thing) and Nate being kind of amused and Michael being kind of like 'how is he not all 'OMG! Michael Phelps? Does he not know who I am?' And then Michael's kind of 'huh' because yeah, his ego's gotten that out of control, and then he's all, 'wow, maybe I've met somebody who doesn't know who I am, that'd be kind of cool' and then, just when Michael's got them all domesticated, Brad walks into the bar and is all "MINE! DO NOT BE TRYING TO SCAM MY MAN, I AM TRAINED KILLER" and Nate's kind of embarassed and turned on at the sane time, but what can you do? That's Brad.

[kristories.livejournal.com]

Hah that was me, and it was awesome minus all the porn that wasn't there :( I'm still waiting for that John Connor Joins the Marines fic. I know you'll succumb eventually. :)

[pororoca.livejournal.com]

I knew somebody was going to bring up the high school AU

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT that is slander that is just heinous slander ohthankgod you're still thinking about it

That is fabulous, I will have to track that down~ And yeah, the idea never really progressed in my head farther than "Nate and Michael are both from Maryland!" obvs. they should hook up~! But hey, there could have been like, aliens involved or something. Maybe a terrorist plot. Who knows?

EDIT: Oh, and speaking of AUs- what about a GK crossover with Transformers. Sure, porn would be nice but what could be hotter than Brad meeting Ironhide?

[bijoux.livejournal.com]

Hi, er, hopefully you don't mind me popping up here to comment, but you did ask :)

2) Brad/Nate purposefully getting lost during the tour of the ruins of Babylon. Or Nate visiting the UK when Brad is doing his two-year stint with the British Royal Marines (there could be accents! and possible mocking by Brad when Nate acquires a posh one after being in country less than a day, etc.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Brad went to the UK and worked with the BRM? Stop it. STOP IT? Why the hell did nobody tell me that? Oh my god. Dude, weekend in some tiny village with only one pub and a B&B. They could go to Dover. They could go to Manchester. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Weekend in London! Nate wants to be all culturey and Brad's like, fuck that, we're going to the pub, we're going to see a football match -- all the Brits have been forcing him to chose a team to support -- and then we're going to an impossibly expensive hotel and having obnoxiously loud sex. And Nate's like, okay, that works too.

From the Epilogue of Generation Kill, pg. 351:

"Upon his return, Colbert received one of the highest honors in the Marine Corps, a combat meritorious promotion to staff sergeant. He was nominated to enter a two-year exchange program with the British Royal Marines, with whom he is now serving."

Ah, I see you wrote something. I must go check it out :)

[veryshortlist.livejournal.com]

Mad Men is so good, any fic will only make me miss it harder. What it needs is for Wiener's contract to be all set already so I don't worry so much about it sucking next season.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am shocked and appalled that there is not a tiny writing community for MM. Seriously. Are you telling me that the one fandom I'm all pro-het dosen't even have any? What the hell is that about?

[kristories.livejournal.com]

You know what I think? I think the world needs more Brad/Nate AU. And also, I think you're like the best person to write that shit so:

Prison!Sex

The One where Nate is a superhero and Brad gets him/makes him cool shit with which to fight crime!

High School!

The one where Brad drags Nate's ass to a comic book convention and Nate's like What the fuck? You're a real geek?

That time that Brad decided not to Join Up and instead went to Mexico for a week which in retrospect was a bad idea because he drank the water but was also a good idea because he met this total hotass named Nate who totally dragged his sick ass around the ruins and said things like "I warned you not to eat that shit" and "I've only been here a day longer than you, how should I know how to get back to your hotel?"

Oooh! The one where the CIA and the NSA need to hide the Intersect for a few days and then Brad and Nate have to deal with Chuck and then Bryce shows up and is all, wtf? I thought they were supposed to call me for babysitting duty!

Or a follow up to the Mob!AU, where Delta strikes back and kidnaps Nate and he's all "pfft, whatevercakes, Brad's going to kill all you motherfuckers" and Brad goes berserk and starts killing all the motherfuckers and when he finds Nate he's all covered in blood and crazy-eyed and Nate's like 'eww...Im not hitting that until you shower'

Okay, I'll shut up now. This is what happens when you give your notice at work and don't really give a damn anymore (9 more days to freedom!)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, sweetie, the HS AU has not died. It's just. It's got so much mass I'm trying to figure out how to tackle it in a way that's manageable for me, but that still manages to convey what I want to say. Not particularly easy with this concept.

Oooh! The one where the CIA and the NSA need to hide the Intersect for a few days and then Brad and Nate have to deal with Chuck and then Bryce shows up and is all, wtf? I thought they were supposed to call me for babysitting duty!

sparky77 would wet herself over this idea.

Hi! I love you! And that so needs to be written. Like now.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Spies was actually another concept that was thrown around. (I've thrown A LOT of ideas around. I'd still be writing GK in 2020 if I wrote them all). The spies one was potentially going to have Michael, or Bryce and Chuck, but Brad and Nate are very poor at sharing the other with someone else. Trufax. The spy one was basically Brad was an assassin, Nate was his handler, Ray provided all the hardware and everybody else worked for the organization, but all I really cared about way the sex, because, well, Brad and Nate.
