Was: Laramie Tales: New Working Title: Tales of Greenlea County (ARCHIVE)

Squee!   Yes, even Nicky's voice is squeeworthy.  Gotta love him - so protective of his Sweet Thing and, of course, he never passes up an opportunity to stake a public claim to his man.  Can't wait to see him strolling into the sheriff's office with that cocky little stride of his and serving his man his dinner.  LOL!! 

And speaking of his man - oh my.  I need to add more to my exposition on Jeremy's "complications."  I'm glad he was honest with Wes . . . but, poor Jeremy.  No wonder he's in such a state.  Now that Jeremy has told Wes about his sister and his dad - I'm wondering if he will tell Nicky or Ellery?  And will Sue find out? 

This is a terrific story, Louise. 

Thanks,
Marie

you know...the rewrite is better then the original fanfic. Removing the BBM related activities is disappointing, yet it seems to have unleashed real creativity Louise.

Many congratulations. Many. I have a feeling i will be published by january, I KNOW how much work you have put here.

Jack,

High praise indeed, and I thank you.  I include for the Friends Group some notes on this topic:

In addition to all the big blue eye comments and Ellery's Paul Newman comparison in Chapter 43 of "Taking Chances" - this description "bulging arms of a blond, blue-eyed man in a black wool sweater and dark jeans" conjured up a very pleasing image indeed.   For some reason that I can't explain, the black wool sweater really struck a chord - and seems very uniquely Colson.

P.S.  Poor Paula - just being around Ellery seems to put her off her stride, so I imagine she's feeling more than a bit uncomfortable at the moment.

more more more!  after my one day hiatus, which I enjoyed greatly!

I have a feeling that Marie is going to like this chapter...lots of good ring stuff!

Leslie

Ha! Ha! You know me so well, my dear Leslie!     Yes, I am loving all the ring stuff.

As he spoke, he rubbed his thumb up his palm against his own gold wedding band, and it seemed the eagle eyes of the A.D.A. focused on his gesture at that moment.

“He got the idea from his own wedding band. You and he exchanged rings.”

Colson nodded, dropping his eyes, silent.

“Chief Deputy Cantrell doesn’t strike me as kind of man to make frivolous gestures,” she said.


No, Paula - nothing at all frivolous about it - and "gesture" doesn't quite cover it, either.  I keep vacillating between sympathy and impatience when it comes to Paula.  Sympathy that she's in such an awkward situation, considering her feelings toward Ellery and her embarrassment over the whole Jeremy debacle - and impatience that she's not able to be less obvious about the whole thing.  When Ellery gets out of line, Wes pulls him back in; when Jeremy gets out of line, Ellery pulls him back in.  Unfortunately, Paula doesn't have anyone to pull her back in.   (But the calm presence of Esteban is a very good thing - a smart man, that Esteban.)

And we still have Nicky on his way to the station to lay a napkin across his Sweet Thing's lap and feed him a nice hot dinner, after which Jeremy will have to work with Esteban (which he does not want to do) and Paula (which he really does not want to do) on the rape case (which he really, really does not want to do). And what about creepy Ray's phone number in Lance's very clean apartment?  And what about poor Chas and the bogus(?) letter? Will he meet up with Jerry Lamont tonight?  Does Jerry know anything about Chas's past?  Does the assault case tie in with anything?  And where the heck is Lance anyway?   You sure can spin a yarn, Louise!

Thanks,
Marie

I've had the same feeling about Paula. I remember her saying to Jeremy that he wasn't the first gay man to have pity on her and ask her out on a date. So I'm wondering why she seems 'thrown' by the fact that Ellery and Colson have made vows to each other. I know she has/had a crush on Ellery (hey, we all understand Paula! We do!  ) but would she react the same way if instead of Colson, she had just met Ellery's wife? And i didn't like the 'frivolous' comment either. Paula needs to get a grip.

And we still have Nicky on his way to the station to lay a napkin across his Sweet Thing's lap and feed him a nice hot dinner

Somehow, i think a Nicky chapter might make Marie even happier than a chapter full of ring goodness. 

I have complete confidence in your 'hinting' capabilities Marie, so i think we won't have to wait for very long now.

LOL!!  Well, it would be a close call - you know me so well, too, Fabienne! (and I talk about Paula being obvious    )
