*Stares at chapter with mouth open* This did not end up at ALL what I was planning. I decided to try a different writing style, so BEWARE! Story in 2nd person POV incoming!

Topic 26: Love Triangle

Rating: T for femslash and suggestions of... something else (BEWARE! You were warned)

Genre: Angst! And Romance. I. Need. To. Find. Other. GENRES!

Characters: Nuh uh, no spoilers. FIO, Figure It Out.

Pairing: It's DxS, Jim, but not as you know it! Well, I'm not the first... but there aren't many of this pairing!

Alternate Title: Sometimes...

Summary: Sometimes I'll be picking up the pieces of my heart and I'll wonder... why?

For the successful continuation of a species, two parents should have different DNA patterns. It's thought that you'll fall in love with someone with those genetic differences. And there's the problem. You know that the girl you've fallen in love with is your type. There is undisputable proof of that. Where's the problem there? There is no way in hell that you're her type. And there's proof of that too.

Sometimes you'll sit on the roof of the house across the road from hers and just stare at the window of her bedroom, even when you know she's not there. Sometimes you'll get lucky and she'll come to the window and just stare at the stars. Sometimes she smile up at the heavens and you'll smile too, but then you look up to see what she's smiling at and see the black-and-white comet that she's looking at, that she's loving. Sometimes at that point, you can hear your heart smash to smithereens.

You know how long they called each other clueless. You know what it took for them to admit it. You know what they have and you know that they're wonderful together. Your dilemma is that so are you. You can't help who and how you are. It's a part of you.

But then you remind yourself that they're not your feelings. That it's a mistake on your brain's behalf. That she doesn't and shouldn't know how you feel, because she's happy as she is and you'd just make it awkward. "Get it through your head!" you scream at yourself. "They're perfect for each other and you're imperfection incarnate!"

Sometimes after you've flown home, you'll look in the mirror and see the tear tracks on your face and you'll start picking up the shattered pieces of your heart. In each piece there's a different answer to your problem. "Tell her..." murmurs one. "Run away!" yells another. A few whispers things like, "The big knife's in the second drawer down..." or "There's a coil of rope in the pantry..." and there's that one that kept chanting, "Rat poison, rat poison..." over and over again. But most of the time, if I don't listen to the first two, I stick with the one that states in a calm, clear voice, "Leave it alone." Because you know they'd find out if you listened to the knife or the rope or the poison and it'd break her heart, trying to understand why you'd done it. And you couldn't hurt her like that. You couldn't hurt any of them.

So you leave it alone. You leave them alone and you leave yourself lonely.

But you're still in love with her, who's still in love with him, who's still in love with her. And while you may actually behim in every way bar three, those differences are a billion light-years each, an immense distance between her and you, keeping you apart for all time.

Your age.

Your name.

Your damn-it-to-hell, screwed-up, unplanned, unintentional, trying-to-eff-up-your-life, god-forsaken gender.

You know you love Sam Manson. The only problem, she's already got her Phantom. And you're not him, not even close.

DanixSam. Yup, I went there. First femslash so please don't kill me. And I warned you at the start so no complaining about the femslash, or... the other bit if you picked it up. WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE! And we haven't seen much of Dani in the series so if I want her on the brink of sanity, I can put her on the brink of sanity and she's not OCC! Okay maybe a bit. But she's having an identity crisis about her having someone else's identity. That'd drive ya nuts, wouldn't it?

Please tell me how the 2nd person POV went. I need to know.

Pairings:

DoraxOC

VladxDani (fatherxdaughter)

PaulinaxDanny (one-sided)

DanixSam (one-sided)

Would you believe that the original was DannyxSamxTucker? That's what I meant at the start. But this was more fun :)

DVM out!
