Title: Love Isn’t Good Unless . . .
Fandom: Veronica Mars
Ship: Logan Echolls/Hannah Griffith
Summary: Dr. Griffith doesn’t come barging in to the Presidential Suite. Hannah’s perspective on a night that could have changed her relationship with Logan forever.
Spoilers: The Rapes of Graff obviously but all of season two just in case.
Rating: NC17
Dedication: Here you go queen_haq, part one of your Xmas present. And you thought I wouldn't come through, didn't you? (Okay, fair enough!) This is also the reason I've been a bad beta but I'll have your chapter back to you tomorrow.
Notes: This was difficult to write because I normally write Logan quite chatty in sex scenes but he seemed in a very different, intense mood during this canon scene and I didn’t want to change it (because that's what made me think he could have fallen for Hannah if not quite yet). I separated the story into part one and two because I posted the first part as a short fic a looooong time ago and it has a different rhythm to the rest. Hope you enjoy! Oh and I only had time to read through this once so please feel free to point out any typos or tense errors. I really don't mind.

( This love isn't good unless...it's me and you. )

This post includes some picspam in the section about Logan and Wendy, I got all the caps from vm-caps.com but of course made them much smaller.

( Random Things and some thoughts on Veronica )

( Logan and Veronica and their mirror relationship )

So . . . I turned off my mind and said 'fuck it, write whatever just write' and this is what came out. Naturally, I couldn't do that on any of the stories that mean anything or they'd come out 'the suck' so this was just practice, I'm still working on what I owe - nobody panic. It's suitably depressing but actually less depressing than I thought it would be given how I feel about everything.

Title: Aphorisms On Something
Fandom: Veronica Mars
Ship: Logan, Veronica, Logan/Veronica
Summary: They are each other’s greatest tragedy and sweetest relief. It’s a hopeless situation, really.
Spoilers: Post-Episodic for 3.10, but with 3.09 spoilers.
Disclaimer: The characters depicted in this fanfic are not mine, I swear, and I'm making no profit off their use.
Rating: R18+ (Warnings: coarse language, sexual references)
AN: (1) Er . . . experimental stuff written during writer’s block to get those cobwebbed creative juices flowing again. It’s nothing spectacular. Aphorisms are looped with character analysis and super mild smut. It’s a thing. Not your thing? Let me know either way. (2) I was thinking about my favourite nihilists (Benjamin, Kafka and Nietzche) and then wondered if they could help me shake out the writing cobwebs. The first section is inspired by Walter Benjamin’s ‘The Destructive Character’ because I’ve always found it interesting (in terms of Logan’s darker predilections). The second and third parts are all Franz Kafka and his aphorisms, baby.

*******

( There’s always a choice: be himself / be what she wants. He’s had it both ways in consecutive runs: with her / without her. He’s never tried it this way before: with her / without himself. )

Take the warning about Piz/Veronica and Weevil/Veronica seriously.
