(And part of her pessimism is based on knowing that she will try again, and get hurt again.)
You do not lie. She totally will. She has worked very, very hard in the past not to fall for anyone again (read: Talia, Marcus -- sometimes it's more successful than others), and she still always gets burned.
(Hmm, I wonder what other fic kinks we share? My bulletproof one is "pretending to be married for a case/mission/whatever," which means the "Arcadia" episode of XF is like my very most favorite thing EVAAAAR.)
Heeeee!! I love episode-related fic. LOVE IT LIKE A BAD HABIT. I just fall all over myself for that stuff and have been known to read the worst missing scenes and post-eps just to feed the habit. ;) In a more general sense, I love "Not Dating." When characters are totally dating, but Not Dating. <3 <3 <3
\O/ SOMEONE APPRECIATES ALL THE RESEARCH I DO! Seriously, I spent hours looking up how tea is typically made in Russia, common flavorings, relevant terms...and I used almost none of it, but I'm glad Susan's tea prep method was recognizably Russian anyway!
YOU ARE SO CUTE! And yes, it totally was recognizable.
Options, yay! I think I was basing the Susan/Talia relationship that precedes this in my head on the one depicted in notjenny's and finally a love poem, where Talia sees right through Susan's cynical shell.
ZOMG I read it and the Talia scenes were so delicious. OMG. Poor Susan. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN HAPPYYYYYYYY.
It would be TWISTED AND AWESOME.
I TOTALLY WROTE IT FOR U. (http://mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com/271615.html)
