Posted a new H5O story today
"In the Breathless Night"
Can be found at my AO3 page: http://archiveofourown.org/works/944159
It's a tiny snippet of Adam and Kono on the run, because I love their doomed romance so. And there are not a lot of us! The Adam/Kono tag over there had all of 12 stories listed, and (having clicked on all 12), in many of those they are together only off screen, don't even have an in-fic conversation. !! So, small increase in the number has a big impact percentage wise. ;-)
I wanted to write them a longer story, but alas, it never raised it's head.
And - as always - a huge shout out and thanks to Ms_Artisan, who provided a lovely beta even in her week of laptop disaster. Yay Ms Artisan!

This all spilled out last week - it was so close to the surface I decided to just type it out and then set it aside for later revisions. I was reading a discussion of Pacific Rim, and it the (apparently, I haven't seen it yet) awesome woman character is enough to create a new test in addition to the Bechdel Test. Pacific Rim has only the one woman with a speaking part, so no conversation between two women, not about the male leads or about anything else either. Which made me realize that H50, with three people on the run, two women and one man, had created a sitution for LOTS of Bechdel Test passing. (not that I expect them to exploit it....) And boom. In my head and hands. I'm not sure if I want to call it "Two Women, Talking" or "Two Broads, Talking." Doris is a great broad, and I suspect would take pride in having earned the epithet. Kono may be one someday.....? In terms of fic, Lahti has created such a strong character, her voice is fairly easy to capture. Kono doesn't talk nearly so much, or fill the screen nearly so powerfully, so I'm not nearly as confident of her voice here. One of hte reasons these won't be done for quite a while, as I'll eventually try to catch some Kono-centric eps to make sure I have captured her rythms better.
The show has been quiet about many of the character's ages.... only an aside the Doris is 'in her sixties' - which is about right, timing wise. So I went with Lahti's actual birth year, 1950. Grace Park, who plays Kono, is actually nearly the same age or slightly older than all three of the other main character actors (dudes playing Steve, Danny, Chin) - but plays and is presented as much younger and has just finished (in the opening episode) Police Academy. So, I've waved my hand and decided Kono is an even ten years younger than Park actually is, and have assigned Kono a birth year of 1984.
