My post-ep is definitely one of those that didn't end fluffy, but I did try for a decent dose of hope. I was not brave enough to touch on the 'getting back together' bit, but mainly I just thought it wouldn't suit the fic itself, being that is was a oneshot and it'd be rushed.

That's a good suggestion, svu. I may have to ponder doing a different version of that scene. I was expecting more past issues to be brought up, and for it to be longer and more 'laying all the cards on the table'. So maybe I will give it a go sometime. And make sure to give a happy ending. :p
Your post-ep was done so well, but I got to the end and was like...... nooooooooo keep going!!! LOL

See, it's not that it has to be a pure fluff fic, because I would love to see someone write her throw back the 3x05 promise (about not walking out the door) in his face, along with some other things. But an example would be something like that could knock him to his senses (stopping the breakup)....her throwing the promise back in his face. So it can be dramatic and emotional and even angsty but still end on a happier note, with a little more fluff.

I would LOVE to see you write a different version of that scene. :yes: Please do, I beg of you. :flower: :hug:

I, for one, will not be writing a fic that stops the breakup, and before you stop reading, this is why.

At this point, I feel like Sam really really just wants out. I think he needs it for his own peace of mind, and to figure out what the hell he really wants and more importantly, what he needs. If Andy threw that promise in his face at that time, yes, it may have postponed the breakup, but Sam clearly wasn't happy. His heart wasn't in it, not the way hers was, and I feel like I'd be putting Sam in this prison he was constantly trying to get out of.

Also, I highly doubt Andy would want him sticking around purely out of guilt over some promise he made to her. If it were me, I'd always be waiting for the other shoe to drop, wondering if THIS was the fight that was going to make him leave for good. And I'm pretty sure...it would be for good. I think the chances of them getting back together eventually are pretty decent at this point. I think Sam needs to clear his head, deal with his issues on his own, and maybe he'll figure out that he actually needs her. But you make him stick around, force him to stay in a relationship that he clearly feels is toxic to him in some way, and he's gone at the first sign of trouble. I guarantee it.

I think the only way to effectively "stop" said breakup would be to do it from the very beginning of the episode before we found out that he was dealing with it the way he was.

Not to mention that IMO, continuing this until they get back together? A oneshot isn't gonna cut it. I don't think this is a problem that I could effectively and realistically solve with a couple of "I love you's" and "we can work this out together's". I think this is something that only time and space can cure. For real *L*

And so, (and I mean this in the nicest possible way), maybe you should try to remedy this yourself. I know you're capable of it :) You did a fantastic job with Andy and her mom, and I know you'd give this issue the same amount of attention and respect. Plus, you'd have the added bonus of getting to dictate exactly what happens, exactly what's said, and you wouldn't be disappointed in the ending.

Just a suggestion. :)

Thanks svugirl, I am glad you liked it. Aw, sorry you wanted more. I wanted to keep it short and simple and not venture further into what was to come. I just wanted to explore that very first step toward rebuilding things, after the dust has settled. I also didn't want to commit to another multi-chapter, and I couldn't keep writing then as I was battling a headache at two in the morning. :lol:

If I have time, I may tackle a different version of that scene. :D

Margie, interesting points. I agree with some of what you are saying. It's better he leave than stay and be distant and unhappy, and treat Andy ways he does not want to. His mood would only bring her down, too. I think Andy knew that she couldn't make him stay, and that if he really felt that way, it was better he didn't. But I think if Sam had stepped back and looked at things - yes, earlier in the episode - he may have realised he was risking losing the most important person in his life. For good. He may have approached things differently - tried to be more open and approach things in a way that did not leave Andy so heartbroken. Just my thoughts. Also, I like to think that Jerry wouldn't have wanted Sam to lose the person he loves. If he were there, he'd tell Sam that nothing is more important and you have to make every moment count.

I agree that if Sam could go back in time, he may have chosen to do things differently. I hope he would have, anyway. Unfortunately....such things are not possible. If they were, I'd be a heck of a lot richer ;) But people make mistakes and choices and have to deal with them.

I do sort of think things have been headed in this direction for a while though. If Sam were going to go back in time to fix this crap, I think he'd have to go farther back than the beginning of the episode. I mean, there's a reason he didn't say he loved her back, and there's a reason he's not staying to laze in bed in the mornings. At least those are my feelings.

Yep, I know. But I just think if he'd stopped and thought about it, he may have approached it differently. He may have sat her down and explained things - at least a little - without being so cutting and abrupt. I think it was rash to throw her to one side as if she were just some fling and it was not worth sticking it out. UNLESS, like I said on another thread, he thought the only way for him to stay away from her was by being so mean that SHE herself would stay away.

I personally didn't feel it was leading up to it, as I was watching the season. But I do see what you mean, especially because I - for one - really thought the 'love' from Sam toward her was lacking all season. It didn't come through like in earlier seasons, which is ironic considering the fact that they were not together back then. But despite that, I had really been chalking it up to lazy writing and a lack of scenes. But, if it were deliberate, that would actually make me feel a lot better. So long as we get some explanation.

Just my thoughts.

ETA - Oops, I only really just registered that this is the fanfic thread. So I suppose we should move this over to the Sam/Andy section, if we continue discussing! :)

:flower: Love reading your thoughts margie and marap.

Totally agree, and loving all of the stories from S3 to date, from the romantic to the angsty! :flower:

Hope you don't mind if I add here (not the right thread, but the one I read 'religiously') that I'm actually loving the arc the RB writers have created this season. I know it's not a popular view, and there are a lot of complaints about lack of 'Sandy," but I disagree. IMO their relationship continues to anchor the show and it's developed to a boiling point of "anger and indecision" (mostly Sam's)

Although Sam was angry with Andy for ditching him for Tegami, he continued their relationship ("all I wanted was you"). The problem is blending the personal with the professional: the basis of the show. As partners on and off the job, how Sam (as the senior & TO) has allowed his long-honed skills and instincts to take a back seat to Andy's more emotional & still 'rookie' responses, leading to mishaps & contributing to Jerry's tragedy. On the personal level, we're seen his hesitancy in almost every episode. At the end of 3.10 we're at the point where his anger and indecision is making him disfunctional.

So I totally get Sam's stepping away from his partnership(s) with Andy to figure out where to go next. Can't wait to see where the writers are taking this -- and all the fanfics that will result, of course!

Thank you :)

The reason you got that message is because FF and I aren't getting along today and I mistakenly uploaded the story before I was done, so I deleted it and uploaded it again :)

Lots of great one-shots from great fanfic writers today!! :YAY:

I'm totally into this angsty stuff between Sam and Andy (way more than I ever thought I could be). And yes, there are issues that go beyond a one-shot, but the angsty ones are great and really in-tune with what these characters are going through right now!

Okay, ladies, this is Saturday night. Everyone should be happy. :D

So, for those who want (and need) to keep the faith in the future, there's an old lowriseflare/threeguesses fic where Sam and Andy break up, go undercover, have awesome sex, and then get back together. :lol:

:drool: :blush: It's rated M, so if you don't like it or you're not at least 14 years old, don't read it (I guess 14 is ok, don't know. Moderators, please edit the post if it's not ok).

I just finished reading this one and it was a relief from the last oppressive and painful episodes.

So, enjoy, ladies, this one ends well. :flower:

I'm not gonna ask you to write fluff, don't worry. lol

I was asking the ones who are interested or considering writing some fluff for that post-ep or some more positiveness from it.

Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it. I would, but I'm just not in the frame of mind to do a full oneshot like that right now.

I'm glad you at least went as far as you did though. :)

I can't wait for that if you do! I know you would totally rock it. B)
