wheeeeeeeee! i got a story!!
Troublesfest is live! Well, the actual-getting-to-read-the-stories portion at any rate. The author reveal will happen a week from today. Oh gosh, I have to wait that long to find out who wrote me this very awesometastic story?! It doesn't seem fair.
Otoh, I think my own giftee will hate their story because my own attempt was so very bad. -_- Why do I have to suck at writing? I liked the premise of it, and the summary came to me before the whole fic did, which never happens so it was surprising and I thought it'd make the fic easier to write (oh how very wrong I was). Also, having the summary before I had the fic written out made it easier to see where the fic wanted to go, but harder to *actually* get it there, and the summary changed from draft to final product.
I wonder if anyone will (correctly) guess what I wrote?
I got this very lovely story:
mockingbird
Rating: Not Rated
Archive Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Categories: Gen, F/M
Fandom: Haven
Relationships: James Cogan/Arla Cogan, Audrey Parker/Nathan Wuornos, Audrey Parker & James Cogan
Characters: James Cogan, Arla Cogan, Audrey Parker, Lucy Ripley, Sarah Vernon
Additional Tags: Family, Season/Series 03 Spoilers, Backstory
Collections: TroublesFest 2013
Summary: James, from Sara to Audrey and all his mothers in between.
The Cogans are actually an intriguing pair of characters! But so difficult to write that I kinda feel like an asshole for requesting a story with him (weeeeelll only a little, I did request Duke/Audrey/Nathan too) but he's my actual favorite. Like we're all supposed to like Audrey and Nathan and Duke and I do, but it's a freakin' surprise how much I love James considering how little we saw of him.

Ah, I have one other Haven story I'm been working on for one of my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
trope_bingo cards, but the Duke/Nathan sex is just not wanting to happen right now. WHYYYYYY 2026 words is enough of the angst and development.
