Rating: M, to be safe
Warnings: Slash, cursing, mentions of past mansex, brief and somewhat minor mansex, unprotected/unprepared mansex, mansex, mansex, character death. Did I say mansex enough? Will that cover the fact there's not much in there? I hope so. Also, overuse of certain words/phrases.

Disclaimer: I do not own Left 4 Dead 2. The game, Nick, Ellis, and everyone else mentioned in this story belong to VALVe.







...ugh, okay. I said I wouldn't submit this because I hated it. But I got talked into it.


So, here it is, despite the fact I still hate the goddamn thing.



By the way, in case you're confused, that last chunk of text is meant to switch to third person, to someone else's POV.



Okay, so. This is actually the third version I wrote for this fucking thing. The first one had no accent to it, despite it being from Ellis' POV, in first person. Then the second had a bit of accent to it. Then to please my Nick, I added more, and now I hope it ain't too much.

He loves El's accent, so yeah. I added more because he thought the second version didn't have enough.

I have this pet peeve when it comes to people butchering the poor mechanic's accent, and I know mine isn't perfect; I'm Texan. I'm not Georgian. Believe me, it does make a difference, despite the fact that both Ellis and I are born and bred Southerners.

Anyways. So yeah. I tend to get annoyed reading stories from his (third person) POV, when they cram his accent throughout it, when it really isn't needed, since he isn't talking or really thinking. Yeah, it's fine for parts, but not through the entire fucking thing.

(Also. I dislike reading stories where the accent is TOO thick. 'Ah' for 'I', etc. It causes a damn near physical pain and it makes me twitch.)

I wondered, 'This is a first person POV for Ellis, so I need accent, right? Just a bit, since it's an inner-monologue?' and then I about lost my fucking mind with this damn thing.



I don't really want constructive criticism. Or flames. I already hate this thing as it is. If you don't like it, I'm sorry. I'm only posting this for those that wanted me to.

If you like it, then I'm glad.



The only thing about this fic I'm satisfied with, is the fact that it is far longer than anything I've written and completed yet, I believe. Little victories in a gigantic ball of fail, I guess.
