[fic rec] Fast and the Furious

[escritoireazul]

So I've been up for the past couple hours reading "How We Are" by catalinay. It's a WIP, which I don't normally read because being unable to finish what I start drives me absolutely crazy, but it was such fun it sucked me right in anyway, from the moment I read a brief excerpt from it. So far it is eighty chapters, but some of them are quite short, and it is a quick read.

It's the story of Letty and Dom, told in alternating points of view, and it is absolutely lovely. I don't often read fic for the movie because a lot of the time Letty is written as a useless one-note character, but here she's vibrant and just comes to life.

Oh, man, do I know how that feels. I wrote this long series for The Lost Boys, and the last story took years to finish. I was so glad to be done with it, but it was bittersweet, too, because I liked writing the story and the series so much. I still miss it, and it's been a couple of years since I finished it.

I just reread your story again (when I'm ill or have insomnia, I like to curl up with my laptop and read, and "How We Are" has become one of my comfort stories. I love it.

Let's see, suggestions: I'm still eager to see how things go with Vince and Jamie, and what Lorraine (who is an AWESOME character) says about Dom asking for her blessing, and what Letty thinks about him asking an adult for his blessing, and what happens with Mia's love life. Does Letty ever get pregnant? Do Leon and Amber stay together? Are you taking the story all the way to the film? If so, what happens to Amber and Jamie? When do they start robbing trucks? Why is Mexico Dom's dream? Why does Dom get all buddy-buddy with Brian so fast? (The movie has never really explained this to me to my satisfaction.) When does Vince start hitting on Mia?
