How writing a lj entry can lead you to unlock the secrets of a possibly upcoming story...

[delicatale]

So yesterday I spent most of my time, when I wasn't working, Googling spinal cord injuries and how they completely change people's lives around. Mildly depressing I'll admit, but also very educational.

Thing is, this fic idea I have won't let me go, and yet it won't expand into something I can really work with. So I have this idea, burning my brain, of Steve injured and coming back home and finding something to hold on to, not to lose his will to live and his strength. I can't find the something.

Although, hold my horses, I think I might have found it, through Scotty Caan, actually. Now this story is sprouting wings. Steve and his love for the water, not being able to be in it so much anymore because of his injury, of his useless legs...rediscovers surfing. And discovers Life Rolls On.

And meets Danny, too. This could actually lead somewhere...

I'm writing an auction fic right now in which Steve has a moderately traumatic brain injury! :D

Your story sounds totally intiguing.

I saw a ficlet sort of like this...somewhere. Danny'd had a spinal cord injury and Steve had had a traumatic brain injury, they met at a rehab facility in Jersey (since the military overflow sent Steve there). That was pretty much it, but it was lovely (and heartbreaking). I'd definitely love to see something along those lines more fleshed out! Do it! :D

This sounds like it will be one hell of an emotionally powerful fic--I hope you decide to write it :)

Looking forward to reading it!

OK, I go away for several days, and in that time you seem to have posted THIS lovely little plotbunny AND the daycare story??

*happy Perspi dance*

I think this story could really be intriguing, and would be more than happy to cheer you on while you put it together. :)
