He woke exhausted, his brain foggy and not responding. He was in an unfamiliar room. He was fully dressed. There was a woman in his arms. Scott Tracy startled as his brain finally came fully online.

Some of you expressed concern for Virgil due to the last scene I posted. At the time that was pretty much all I had written of that scene. I finished it in the early hours of this morning, many thanks to @scribbles97 for interrupting her food preparation to answer my desperate squawk of ‘does ths work?????’ I mentioned in the comments of that post that Virg was in good hands. I feel I have gained a repuation (deservedly) because that apparently sounded ominous. So here is the entire scene for your reassurance ::hugs you all:: @the-lady-razorsharp @vegetacide There had been no sleep. The ceiling tiles had morphed into a maze of torture, his eyes sketching and re-sketching out shapes made by the holes and the squares, annoying him to no end. He wanted Kay. He wanted to hold her, to make sure she was alright, to reassure her that he was quitting IR, that he had chosen her. But he was also scared. International Rescue had been everything for so long. Sure there was plenty of other stuff he could do, but could he watch his brothers go out, leaving him behind? It hadn’t been easy saying those words to […]
There had been no sleep. The ceiling tiles had morphed into a maze of torture, his eyes sketching and re-sketching out shapes made by the holes and the squares, annoying him to no end. He wanted Kay. He wanted to hold her, to make sure she was alright, to reassure her that he was quitting IR, that he had chosen her. But he was also scared. International Rescue had been everything for so long. Sure there was plenty of other stuff he could do, but could he watch his brothers go out, leaving him behind? It hadn’t been easy saying those words to Scott, but it was going to be even harder to enact them. And there was pain, no matter what medication they put him on. He could feel the fog clogging his mind, yet breathing still hurt. Perhaps he should ask for something stronger, something that could finally knock him out and end the pain on all fronts. By the time the sun peeked over the horizon and lit up edges of the window, he was ready to take anything to make it all go away.

If Brains dies, International Rescue dies with him!” Kayo straightened in her chair. “And what do you think would happen to International Rescue without you?” “I-“ “Virgil, you can’t keep doing this.” “Doing what? You think I did this […]
My brain again… Okay, obviously I am living and breathing my writing at the moment far too much, because I just dreamed (yes, only dreamed) that I received a complaint for writing more Scott than Virgil. This dream complainant claimed that I have been writing this mammoth story for ages and they were missing my regular non-ship Virg stories. Incidentally, this dream person had a username I had never seen before, so I basically told them (or wanted to, but was more polite), that the fact that the first I had heard of them was this complaint about my writing, so basically they could go jump. If they wanted to contribute to this party, I’m obviously open to positive influencers ::eyes all my inspirators:: Jump in and play. So yeah, apart from me obviously needing to get out more, or get better sleep, I did wake up wondering exactly how long I’ve been writing this fic. I started on 14 Jan and my current word count is over 37,000 words. This is my second longest fic ever, and the longest I have written in this fandom. Except for three or four little fics, it is all I’ve been writing for […]
Sometimes if she sits there, she can imagine. She can hear the notes, his laughter amongst them. Feel his touch, his lips on her skin. His breath against her ear. The touch of the soft upholstery of the piano stool. His name on the breeze as it wafts through the open doors, across the balcony. She can imagine. And remember. And perhaps one day. He will return to her. -o-o-o- @the-lady-razorsharp Warm Rain.

Cliffhanger relief Here’s the first part of Part Thirteen of Gentle Rain. It hurt to write. ::wails:: Many thanks to @scribbles97 for the moral support and for listening to my whining. Gordon Tracy adored his brother Virgil. Ever ask him and he’d deny it through his teeth. Did he understand how the man’s brain worked? Not a clue. Did they argue on a regular basis? All the time. But did he love him? More than life itself. So to first have to catch the man as he fell, then watch helpless as he struggled and failed to breathe, his hands desperately scrabbling at Gordon’s uniform, and to see him ultimately lose the fight and slip away… “John!” Virgil’s lips were turning blue. “JOHN!” He checked his brother’s vitals. No breath, heart-rate struggling, but at speed. What the hell was wrong? “Gordon?” “Virgil’s collapsed. I need vitals now. Advise Kayo, I’m going to need help.” John rattled off numbers. The engineer was still wearing his fire suit minus the helmet. Gordon tore at his clothes, shoving the zip down as far as it would go, freeing up the man’s chest. He positioned him ready for CPR, tipping his head back, checking […]
Random Gentle Rain scene written in bed this morning Yes, I typed it with one finger. Many thanks to @scribbles97 for sorting the ending out. I can be pathetically dramatic and soppy at times. This version is much better 😀 “What the hell was I supposed to do? If Brains dies, International Rescue dies with him!” Kayo had tears in her eyes. “And what do you think would happen to International Rescue without you?” His heart stuttered and it had nothing to do with his injury. He reached out to touch her but she stepped away. That hurt even more. “Kay? Please?” “No, Virgil, you have to understand this.” A tear rolled down her cheek. “Without you, there is no International Rescue.” She swallowed and another tear drifted across her beautiful skin. He so wanted to touch her. “It shouldn’t be that way. I can’t share you that much. I want to share your life, you…you can’t give it all to iR. Please, Virgil.” He reached for her again, desperate to touch her. “Kay!” She took another step back. Her head was shaking ‘no’, tears running freely. “Kay, no, don’t, please don’t!” “It has to change. Things have to change. […]

Only the two of them were in the room, both looked tired, John worried […]

She would have most definitely preferred Virgil to sleep […]
the-lady-razorsharp: Kayo didn’t really need makeup. Of course, there were times when wearing it was part of her cover on some assignment or other, and yes, sometimes the social responsibilities she held as part of the Tracy family called for the judicious application of makeup. Most of the time, she went for subtle hues that complimented the fine features and lovely complexion she had been blessed with. However, there were times when the situation called for drama. Cat-eye liner and cherry red lipstick always made Virgil’s pulse quicken just a bit. Tonight, he tied his tie and watched her outline her lush mouth with a shade of lipstick that would make Thunderbird Three jealous. Time and again, Kayo dipped the tiny brush into the pot and applied it to her skin, with just as much care as he took at his easel. When she was satisfied, she laid down her brush and picked up her eyeliner pen, decorating her lids with a sexy flare that elongated her faintly almond-shaped eyes. She looked up and caught him staring at her, and her smile made him want to bear her back to the bed and kiss the scarlet lipstick off. “Stop that,” […]
Worked all day, so now I have no energy to write again ::headdesk:: So here is the little I have managed. ::hugs you all:: “Virgil?” Scott. “Before anyone asks, I’m fine, I just need coffee.” And she watched as her fiancé scanned the room, looking for that fabled pot. “Here you go, sir. Just as you like it.” Parker appeared as if from nowhere and Virgil pounced on the mug of liquid ecstasy in his hand. Kayo turned away, refusing to be baited by her lover’s relationship with coffee. Em was pale, sitting in her hoverscoot beside Scott. Her brother caught her eye and suddenly she was pinned. Scott was not happy. No doubt there would be hell to pay later. The man hated not knowing and the Kip Harris and Em Harris surprise would likely have royally pissed him off. “But tell me, honey, are you okay?” Kip’s attention was narrowed on his niece. Em held up a hand. “I’m fine, Uncle. I promise. Scott has me well in hand.” And she forced a smile. “Oh, he does, does he?” That narrow beam attention hit the eldest Tracy brother between the eyes. “Yes, sir, I do.” And those blue […]
Gentle Rain thoughts I can see the climax of this story! I can see the protagonist’s challenges, the arguments, the settings….yay! Scott, you are so screwed ::cackles madly:: Poor Virg 🙁 And Em? You’re in for the ride if your frickin’ life. I just need to get out of Christmas Eve! ::tears hair out:: Soooo much talking in this fic. Where the hell is the action ::runs around in crazy circles:: And RL! Stop cramping my style! Only another 10,000 words (at a guess) ::wilts and falls over dead:: Bear with me 😁 It’s all your fault anyway 😁 Nutty (Buried under client work and painting)
And here is a little Virgil and Kayo, cos I can. though I have to say, they don’t quite look like that in my head when writing 😀 Also, note that Virgil isn’t that tall (though my brain certainly makes him taller in my head, which means Scott must be a giant :D) Top two from ‘Weather or Not’. Second two from ‘High Strung’. I do not own these images, I’m just sharing the joy. Nutty(who should be writing about these two right now) EDIT: and I just added two more from @i-am-chidorixblossom the first of which is gorgeous 😀 and from ‘City Under the Sea’ and the last one is from ‘Fight or flight’. EDIT AGAIN: and another interesting shot from @i-am-chidorixblossom from Volcano (I think). Hmm…. 😀
The beep was soft, barely loud enough to hear, but it woke Kayo without a problem. It was designed to do that. Beside her, Virgil slept on, the same beep equally designed not to wake him. In fact, he didn’t even know of its existence. Kayo planned to keep it that way. Slipping out of bed, she padded naked and barefoot out of the room and closed the door behind her. Secure in the knowledge of the room’s soundproofing she grabbed her comms and, keeping both her voice and the volume low, answered John’s summons. The clock on the wall said 3.26am. “Kayo?” “This better not be a rescue, John.” The pause at the other end of the line confirmed her suspicions. “No, I’m sorry. He is not going out.” “Kayo, you know I wouldn’t ask if I had a choice.” “There is no choice involved. You can’t ask him this.” “Honestly, I don’t want to, but his engineering knowledge and equipment are needed.” “Send Brains.” He fell silent. “John, he is exhausted and in pain. He is not going.” Final word. “Copy that.” The line went dead. She sighed. Virgil would not be happy, but he would just have […]
the-lady-razorsharp: Virgil and Kayo, in a dream that started romantic…and ended up as a nightmare… Aaaargh! it was that fic! ::stabbities bad guy some more:: ::gets paint on keyboard because was painting when was distracted:: Lovely expressions in this. ::loves them to bits:: ::stabbities, more stabbities:: Lovely work, m’dear. Nutty(::insert extra stabbities here and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, go read the fic and then join me in doing stabbities of bad guy:: )

Of course, it wasn’t his first cyclone or hurricane, he had tackled many over the years, but each one had its own character. And this one was big and angry. “We’re looking at a category four, verging on five.” John hovered above the dash, sitting rather than his usual float due to his being earthbound. “Be careful.” A frown. “And incidentally, your brother is an idiot.” “Hey!” […]
