i was falling in love, years before
logan/veronica. season 1 teeny tiny ficlet set around 1.20, “M.A.D.” title taken from prosthetic love by typhoon for secret obvious reasons
Veronica dips her pinky finger into her tinted lip balm, spreading it slow and even across her lips, watching as Logan’s eyes follow her movements, his hands still half up under her shirt.
“See anything you like?” She quips.
“Mmmmm,” Logan draws out the sound, pretending to think, mindlessly tracing at the lace edging of Veronica’s bra. “Nope.”
Veronica smiles quick, tightening her legs around his waist and nipping at the base of his jaw. So much for cooling off...
“Really?” She gently nips all along his jawline, places a featherlight kiss just below his earlobe. “Not one single thing?”
Logan’s grinning as he leans back and swivels his head around to survey the empty bathroom. “Well....I am fond of one thing.”
“And that would be...?”
“This bathroom sink,” he slips one of his hands out from under her shirt and drums his fingertips against the sink counter, right next to where Veronica is perched on it. “It’s got excellent craftsmanship. Very sturdy.”
She places one of her hands next to his to suss the craftsmanship out for herself, and it half of her hand overlaps with his to make it seem like they’re holding hands then, well, that’s just a happy accident.
“This is an excellent sink. We should send the manufacturer’s a thank you letter.”
“Dear child laborers,” Logan begins. He’s intertwined their fingers together completely, and he’s speaking with deliberate closeness to her lips. “Thank you for building this bathroom sink so I can make out with my girlfriend during school.”
He shifts his head just a touch closer so their lips can meet, but Veronica pulls back abruptly.
“Girlfriend?” she repeats, angling her body away from his so she can try to read him better.
“Uh...yeah,” Logan ducks his head down and gnaws at his lip, a faint blush coloring his cheeks and his neck. “I thought, you know, even if we are secretly dating that still means -- I mean -- you know, I’m not, uh, with anyone else.”
Logan takes a beat and pulls a little further away from her. They’re still holding hands, but he won’t meet her eyes and Veronica can feel the tension and embarrassment flooding off of him. “Are you...?”
“No,” Veronica says. She moves her hands slowly, placing them lightly onto the side of Logan’s face, waits for his eyes to lock with hers. She smiles big and wide and giddy. “You’re my only boyfriend.”
#vm fanfic#logan and veronica#NOT ANGST!!! THEY'RE ACTUALLY HAPPY#SUCK. IT.

imkait replied to your post Romance Novels - what to read?:
If it’s not too late to throw my two cents in: The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts, by Annie Darling! It’s a contemporary romance featuring a protagonist who loves romance novels. Also has two sequels. It’s a quick read and so very cute!
Definitely not too late! The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts sounds delightful - thank you!

imkait replied to your post: Like, no offense, but @God/@rabbis, could the...
don’t be stressed or feel bad about it!! Christians get their religious holidays off, you do too. you’re not a bad employee for exercising your right to do the same thing. BUT ���the no actual vacation” thing worries me - they don’t make you use your PTO/holiday time for religious observance right!? iirc you should be getting religious holidays off in addition to whatever PTO you get!
Ugh, I knooooow, but where’s the inconveniently placed Christian holiday where you can’t eat flour for a week and you have to be around your family 24/7?
I do have a choice about whether I take the days PTO or as unpaid leave or w/e, but my 5 personal/vacation days don’t hold up super well in the face of Pesach (8 days), Shavuot (2 days), Rosh HaShana (2 days), Yom Kippur (1 day; on Shabbat this year #blessed), and Sukkot/Shmini Atzeret/Simchat Torah (4 holiday days).
In the end, though, I’m lucky enough- tremendously lucky enough- that it’s not going to be dangerous for me to lose out on the monetary aspect, but I really do feel like The Worst for just being away from the office. And at the same time, all those days off don’t feel very restful. Like, I got back from Florida, and everyone was like, “How was your big vacation?!” and there’s just no good way to say, “It is bizarrely stressful to be trapped in a house with my cousins and my grandmother, basically just reading and eating for a week.”
Idk, I think part of me was so relieved to just have a job and one that knew about the religious aspect- especially considering the negotiations I’d had to go through with another library- that I didn’t negotiate time off particularly aggressively.

social distance tag – tagged by the weird and wonderful @thelillykane
are you staying home from work/school?
I... I’m one of those that is actually working from home right now, and will be continuing to do so for the foreseeable future. It’s definitely weird, but I have to say getting to sleep in an extra two hours every day is pretty sweet.
if you’re staying home, who is with you?
Um, no one. Just me, and the 50 or so people who call me every day.
who would be your ideal quarantine mate?
I don’t know. I wouldn’t mind a doggo, I guess? And obviously everything is made better by the presence of my best friend - but that wouldn’t be very social distancing of us, so texting is the way to go right now. (plus she lives, like, literally across the country from me, so)
are you a homebody?
It’s shocking to realize just how little changed from my “normal” life to my “quarantined” life.
(It’s not that shocking)
an event you were looking forward to that got canceled?
Sports is the big one. Opening day of baseball. The NCAA tourney. NBA playoffs. MLS.... sports. Big time.
what movies have you watched recently?
Movies? Nothing really. But I did just rewatch Person of Interest, and am currently rewatching Friday Night Lights.
what shows are you watching?
Oh. Um. See above answer.
what music are you listening to?
Sadly I’m not able to listen to a ton of music, because I can’t really *listen* to things while I’m at work, so that defeats the point of having music on.
what are you reading?
tumblr. reddit. fic. the same stuff I always read.
what are you doing for self-care?
Um video games? Treating myself to carne asada fries? I guess those count?
I tag... um. @elliebear75, @happilyshanghaied, @theawkwardterrier, @imkait (lol are you even still alive kait?), and...... @somefeministtheatrepls

the mods, they are a changin’
Change has a way of just walking up and punching me in the face. - Veronica Mars
In December 2013, @imkait began a project called LoVeCember wherein she recommended Logan and Veronica centric fics every day for 31 days. Due to very popular fandom response, and a request to expand beyond L/V centric fics, she asked @nevertothethird to join forces and the two of them created @vmficrecs.
We intended the blog to continue posting one daily fic recommendation and couldn't have anticipated the number of requests we received. At one point, before closing the inbox, we had 75 distinct requests all requesting very specific lists of fanfiction. Our blog grew to include fic request lists, find my fic requests, interviews with fic authors, episode inspired videos (I think we only manged three of these...yeesh), and sponsoring of fic challenges and prompts. We created a masterlist. We scoured for the most obscure fic we could find. When we weren't able to keep up, we added an 'advisory team.' As is common in fandom, though, interest among the team would ebb and flow, and maintaining an active advisory team was something both Kait and Suzanne couldn't do.
So...the blog went into hiatus. A
loooooong
hiatus.
We closed the inbox about 2 years ago, but occasionally the odd request will find its way to our submission box. Those smattering of requests, as well as Kait and Suzanne's lack of enthusiasm for fandom post s4, have shown us that while there is still interest in @vmficrecs, we are no longer the right people to be at the helm.
When discussing with one of our fandom friends the possibility of putting the blog up for adoption, she readily expressed her desire to adopt @vmficrecs.
Which leads us to the main point of this post
Kait and I are happy to announce that effective immediately, the biggest Lilly Kane stan we know (@thelillykane) will be the sole mod of @vmficrecs. Expect an announcement from Jennie (your new mod!) in the coming days about features of vmficrecs, her plan, and potential requests for partnerships and submissions.
To start with a clean slate for Jennie, we will be clearing vmficrecs' inbox, however, so if 3-years ago you asked for a specific list of fic and you're still waiting for a response, please submit it to us again.
It's been so fun to celebrate vm fandom and vm fic with you for the past 6-years. Here's to another 6 of being in the most creative and lovely fandom.
Sincerely, Kait and Suzanne

Hi, I hope you're having a lovely day! I was just curious- is The Pliant Web a completed fanfic you've posted somewhere or is it still in progress and hasn't been uploaded? I love your writing!
Hello!
The Pliant Web exists in ficlet form in the After So Long collection on AO3. I am currently researching (post-war Tripoli, ‘40s EVERYTHING, the OSS, the Pinkertons, archaeological scandals, etc. etc.) with plans to expand it into a novella length story.
It’s taking longer than expected because I hope to finish the entire thing before posting any of it. A lot of fic writers write multi-chapters as they go and do that very well, they have the discipline and the skill, but I reeeeally don’t. This is my version of being kind to myself by not setting up unrealistic expectations about how quickly I can write chapter to chapter.
The project is ambitious and scary– there’s going to be a lot of story there and quite a bit of stuff I have zero experience writing. It also has to tie in with other work I’ve written in the Veronica Mars world because (spoilers). I have no idea when I’ll be done with it, the planning and research is taking up so much time, but I will definitely post something about it here when I do. I just hope people will still want to read it when it’s done.
Thanks for the question and for reading my stories. I appreciate it! :)

something so magic about you, don’t you agree?
LOGAN/VERONICA AU WEEK. Day 3: Beloved Tropes
featuring the tropes: found family, friends to lovers, mutual pining, the start of SECRET DATING, and whichever trope it is where their bedrooms are right next to each other and they share a bathroom and begin to fall in love.
(These three excerpts are from a fic i’ve been slowly, slowly writing for my babe @jessicajoned since 2016, in which Keith becomes Logan’s legal guardian & Logan and Veronica, are, you know, epic. eventually.)
1.
Veronica panics and runs away as soon as they’re done kissing.
Logan’s confident she’s running away from the situation and not from the kissing itself because those kisses were amazing, and his hands feel strangely incomplete and disconnected from his body without the feel of her warm, solid skin beneath them.
He’d run away from the situation too if he wasn’t still recovering from the fact that Veronica Mars kissed him. That she’d stretched onto her tippy-toes, gotten a firm grip on his neck, and pressed her lips against his lips. That she hadn’t pulled away when he’d deepened the kiss, instead opting for twisting her hands into the fabric of his jacket, brushing her hands through his hair, ensuring that their bodies were completely flush against one another, every inch of him pressed up against every inch of her.
They’d kissed each other so desperate too, unable to keep their hands or their mouths still, wanting to devour each other– well, at least, Logan had definitely wanted to be devoured by her. Veronica had tasted like marshmallows and promises and her lips had been so soft, too soft and oh, god, he’s getting hard just at the fucking thought.
He needs to do that – kiss Veronica and be kissed by Veronica – again.
And that, the fact that all he can see in the future, all he wants from the future, is for them to slow-mo run at each other on the beach and then make out naked while the waves crash over them scares him beyond belief.
It’s not until he’s halfway home, slamming on the breaks to avoiding running another red light – and yes, he knows, his elaborate daydreaming has gotten out of hand, not that he cares – that Logan realizes he has a much better reason to be scared. Because home, nowadays, is a two story house with Keith and Lianne and their pitbull and his bedroom is nestled into the corner of the house right alongside Veronica’s and they share a fucking bathroom, for fucks sake, and so Logan can’t exactly go home because if he does Keith will know, somehow, what Logan’s been fantasizing about doing to his daughter, and he’ll know that they kissed and that it gave Logan an erection like he was a goddamn middle-schooler, and then Keith will peel all the skin off of Logan’s body and set him on fire.
Logan’s not ready to die, not without kissing Veronica a couple more thousand times first. Not without tangling his fingers in her hair and kissing at the hollow of her neck and making her come apart with his fingers.
Fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
He’s fucked.
2.
Veronica makes a beeline for Wallace’s room, grabbing a pillow off of his bed and screaming into it.
That doesn’t make her feel better, so instead she throws the pillow across Wallace’s room where it lands on the floor with an unsatisfactory thud.
“I just made out with Logan,” she says, as justification for her behavior.
“Yeah, we aren’t gonna talk about that,” Wallace responds quickly.
“I kissed him,” Veronica continues anyway. “We were just talking and then I reached up and kissed him. He’s a good kisser.”
Wallace sighs, long-suffering, and settles onto the bed next to her, looping his arm around her shoulders. “Let’s make this quick, okay, supafly?”
“I want to kiss him again, Wallace,” she blurts, burying her face into her hands from shame.
And isn’t that a scary thing to be admitting to her best friend, that this…incident with Logan can’t be brushed aside as a fluke or rogue, one-time impulse. Truthfully, Veronica’s been thinking about kissing Logan for a while, years, embarrassingly. Always curious to know if his lips would feel the way Lilly always described them, if he would be as good as Lilly claimed, and in the beginning Veronica could brush it off as that– curiosity. It wasn’t that she wanted to kiss Logan, specifically, but that she was curious about kissing in general.
But then she’d started kissing other boys and she would still catch herself thinking about it, and once he moved in she found herself transfixed by his mouth constantly, watching him chew on his pencils while they did homework together, watching him put chapstick on, watching the shapes his lips made while he mouthed off to her dad and got himself grounded.
Veronica was never supposed to act on this fixation, though. She was never supposed to actual kiss Logan, and he sure as fuck was never supposed to kiss her back.
But she had. And he did.
“Well,” Wallace says finally. “What are you going to do about it?”
And that was the kicker. Veronica doesn’t have any fucking clue what to do now.
3.
Logan’s got the perfect plan for how to avoid Veronica and Keith (at least for tonight, his plan for how to avoid being alone with either of them or having to make direct eye contact with either of them until he’s already on death’s door still needs work), he’s coming home seconds before curfew, and then he’s going to immediately excuse himself and go straight to bed (and hopefully die in his sleep so that he doesn’t have to fucking go through this shit ever again).
The problem is that, of-fucking-course, Veronica’s got the same plan, which is how they end up trapped in the foyer together with thirty seconds to spare before curfew and each loudly saying, “I’m tired and going to bed.”
Keith’s got them pinned under his patented I’m-The-Sheriff-And-I-Know-All-Your-Sins stare in a heartbeat. “Anything I should know about?”
“Nope,” Veronica answers quickly, her voice too perky for someone who’s pretending to be tired. “Everything’s great!”
Keith’s attention shifts focus to Veronica and Logan takes full advantage of this momentary distraction to bolt up the stairs and disappear in the sanctuary of his bedroom.
Logan gets into bed, not because he’s tired, but because he knows Keith will be poking his head in at some point to make sure that Logan’s where he’s supposed to be, and even though lying there and listening to Veronica climb into bed and – sure enough – Keith checking up on him before turning in for the night is dull as dirt Logan can’t fall asleep.
He watches the clock change from eleven to twelve to one to two in agony, trying valiantly not to think about Veronica, if she wore her pale pink sleep shorts to bed tonight with the matching tank top that showed off her delicate collarbone. If her lips are still tingling and her hands are still burning just like his lips and hands are.
Then, at half past two: “I can’t sleep,” Veronica whispers, padding into his room with the lightest footsteps possible.
“Me either,” he whispers back, rolling over to look at her. One glance and he knows she’s as affected by what happened earlier as he is– she’s dressed in these awful flannel pajamas that look like they were made out of some old, tasteless grandma’s carpet.
Worst part? Logan’s fucking into it.
“I want to do what we did earlier, again,” Veronica says, foregoing any sort of preamble because of course she is.
“Me too,” he responds quickly, abandoning any last hope of trying to be collected about this.
They move towards each other as if hypnotized, and this time, when they kiss, they kiss open-mouthed and together.
“We have to keep this a secret,” Veronica murmurs in-between exploring every crevice of his mouth with her tongue.
“Don’t worry,” Logan says, bending at the knees to ensure their bodies were aligned in all the right places, his breath trailing cool and promising across her neck. “I’m good at being sneaky.”

Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Veronica Mars - All Media Types, Veronica Mars (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Logan Echolls/Veronica Mars Characters: Veronica Mars, Logan Echolls, Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie, Wallace Fennel, Keith Mars Additional Tags: Temporary Amnesia, Enemies to Lovers, Broken Engagement Summary:
AU from 1x06, "Return of the Kane." Veronica has a bad day. A day which is made even worse when she wakes up and discovers she has huge gaps in her memory, friends she doesn't remember making, and future plans she's not sure she wants.
They walk towards the front in silence, Veronica internally vetoing several topics of conversation she wants to bring up with him. She knows they’re at risk of parting ways without actually saying anything. Rather than try to find the perfect thing to say she finally opts for simply saying something.
“I never got a chance to say congrats.” He looks at her with a slight wrinkle in his brow. “Mac let it slip you qualified for a big competition next month. That’s really – that’s great, Logan.”
The corner of his mouth ticks up the slightest bit but he doesn’t offer her much more. “Thanks.”
She swallows down her nerves. “And, uh, do you know what you want to do now that we graduated?”
“I’m sorry, Veronica, what are we doing?”
It would be easy to pretend she doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but if Logan can do the brave thing of being in her presence, then she can do the brave thing and be honest. “I don’t know. I – I don’t know how to fix this.”
“Are you ready to tell me what happened?”
This thing I started forever ago for @imkait is finally finished! Thank you to everyone who sent supportive messages and reviewed it along the way.
As a side note: I have given @scandalpantsstuff express permission to refuse to beta read anything I write until I finally finish my enormously long WIP. My exact words to her were “Feel free to get real mean with it. I’m discovering I am motivated by a need to be perfect so go ahead and use that against me.”
