Fic: Complications
Sep. 22nd, 2014 01:17 pmHere was my gift to my recipient for Yuletide 2012.
Title: Complications
Author:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
starduchess
Gift Recipient: deepdarkwaters
Fandom: Alice - Tom Waits album
Pairing: Poor Edward/Alice
Characters: Detective, Barkeep, Sailor
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2053
Warnings: angst, film noir, slight violence, mentions character death
Summary: A man walks into a bar investigating a death. I don't think he found what he was looking for.
Author's Notes: I was excited about the prospect of digging into this album and its story, but as I listened over and over again I had a really hard time putting the story together. I finally just listened to the quieter pieces, like "Alice", "Poor Edward", and "Lost in the Harbour", and realized it had a very sad, film noir feel to it, so I decided to go with that. No, I have no knowledge of the play, so this is my own story based on the songs. The lovers are based on "Fish and Bird" as you prompted, and the pirate/sailor came from "Reeperbahn" and "Everything You Can Think". The detective is all my own creation. I hope you like this. Thanks for the quick beta job goes toashiiblack.
