FS for May 2012: Remember Me This Way
RokofAges75:
Also Nick is just fun to torture, right? LOL
Like you said, Rose, I think there's just something so tragic about it happening to the youngest one and the other four having to watch him deteriorate. Alzheimer's is sad at any age, but at least when it happens to an old person, you can take comfort in knowing that at least they lived a long, full life leading up to that. But to strike Nick down in his prime... that is brutal! But tragically beautiful, in the twisted way we angst-lovers can appreciate LOL.
Rose:
Yes, yay for Nick torture! LMAO.
Exactly, it's far sadder to have it happen to Nick, than any of the others. I struck Nick down as young I could do it realistically. It's mean, it's cruel...and it's fun LOL. I'm twisted that way.
Sakabelle:
Congrats on being featured, Rose! I really liked this story. Also, I really liked the graphic you used for it, all the photos and Nick looking so reminiscent always made me smile. Which is probably the wrong reaction because he couldn't remember anything, LOL!
I remember when you were writing this, I think you ended it a bit earlier than you had originally intended. What was the reasoning behind that, and was it a hard decision for you to come to?
Rose:
Thanks! LOL well reminscent was more for the Boys, who Nick wanted to remember him specifically how he was and not how he became.
I debated about how far I wanted to let Nick go. I always knew the Epilogue was going to be a leap into the future a few years and Brian's POV. I just didn't know how bad I wanted Nick to degenerate before I hit there. I was gonna let Nick get really bad, but getting there required a lot of filler. And honestly it was more filler than the raw material that I was debating actually using. So after a certain point, I just realized that constant visits to the home wasn't the way I wanted to go. One visit summing everything up at the end seemed to be a better fit for me.
And thanks to Julilly's songfic challenge, it gave me a companion one shot where you get AJ's POV too lol.
Carter-Orange:
Not a lot of stories make me cry, but this is one of them. I think having Nick go through it had more impact than if it had been any of the others too. Poor Nick, we all love to torture him :)
