Title: A Minor Incident
Description: A letter to Caroline

I actually did it! Be nice, It's a bit...bad. And it's a oneshot, obviosuly, but I thought I'd give it a go. Why can't I write for my own ship?! The song is 'A Minor Incident' by Badly Drawn Boy and you should go listen to it, it's lovely.

Here goes nothing :)

******************************************************************
A Minor Incident

There’s nothing I could say to make you try to feel ok
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen
That I never see you again
Just remember that I'll always love you



Caroline,

Oh f*ck, that sounds cold.

Dear Caroline.

I suppose that after the, er, incident today in the crèche you deserve some kind of explanation or something that might help you to begin to comprehend how everything’s going to change when I’m not going to be here. There’s stuff I need to say to you, but in case you hadn’t noticed, I’m a repressed twat sometimes – even Guy, an insensitive knobend, can manage to tell you that he loves you. So, I will take a leaf out of his book (perhaps dying turns you into an utter twat too – I don’t know how he’s survived so long then) -


I love you.


I'll be a better person on the other side I'm sure
You'd find a way to help yourself
You'll find another door
So shrug off minor incidents
And make us both feel proud
I just wish I could be there to see you through


When I have…gone to Devon, I want you to be happy – even if it does mean being with Swiss Boy. I know he’ll look after you, and eventually I know you’ll get through it, and over it, and I’m rambling now and starting to sound a bit like Sue White – and no-one wants that. What I mean is, when it comes to it, I was just a small time in your life, a little, minor incident and I want you to see it that way. Because then I know you’ll grow and be strong and I’ll be so proud of you. You don’t know what I’d give to be there when you do.

You always were the one to make us stand out in a crowd
Though every once upon a while, you're head was in the clouds
There’s nothing you could ever do to ever let me down
And remember that I'll always love you


I’ve just, er, re-read the last paragraph and realized I was entirely wrong – lunatic, slut and drunk that you are, you were always strong and I AM proud to have had you in my life, for even this last year. You’re absolutely wonderful. Don’t forget that.

There’s nothing you could ever do to ever let me down.
Remember that I'll always love you.

Mac xx

That was good. But "a minor incident" :o at least he redeems himself by then calling her a drunken slut :lol:

Dr. Baroline Trodd - March 6, 2007 06:02 PM (GMT)
I'd love to write more, you're all very sweet - unfortunately, I seem to never hqave ideas! So if anyone would like to donate some random plot bunnies...

Tonibear - March 7, 2007 09:48 PM (GMT)
I was reading a fic on here and it mentioned something about Caroline speculating if Mac chasing her was a bet with the other guys and i was wondering what if it was a bet at first but then it became genuine attraction but Caroline finds out about the original bet.Not much of a plot idea i know but i thought it could be interesting to read. :D

PigRescuer - March 8, 2007 08:23 PM (GMT)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah..

Lovely lovely and sweet.

Have a cookie.

:cookie.

Tonibear, like that plot bunny.

*primises not to snatch it due to backlog of ficcage*

Tonibear - March 8, 2007 10:07 PM (GMT)
Thank you. :D

littlered - March 8, 2007 11:18 PM (GMT)
:notworthy I love this - I hope you get inspired and write something else, becasue you're very good at it.

Little_Simba - March 20, 2007 02:53 AM (GMT)
Oooooh, ahhhhh, awwwww, *sniff* That was really lovely and beautifully written. I can't understand people on here who say their writing's bad because I haven't read a single fic on this forum that is anywhere near bad - they all rule and this helps prove that. I really enjoyed reading it, Baroline. :worship2 :worship2

I don't know why I've been on such a fanfic kick recently but I've been coming up with loads and loads of fic ideas this past week but there's no way I'm going to get chance to wrirte many of them so, if you really would like an idea or two, would you like me to PM you? I would certainly love for you write one of my fic ideas, if you like it. Let me know and I'll PM you with a CarGuy one or something, if you like.
