Ficlet: 'Limp'
I'm working on approximately 283 post-LitB Veronica Mars fanfics. This just happens to be the first one I finished. Oh, and this makes it 3 for 3 on creepy/dark VM fics. I think we can pretty much rule out me ever writing fluff for this fandom.


Fic: Veronica Mars, Logan/Weevil (NC-17)
Make it hurt.

approx. 1,200 words


Spoilers: 'Leave It To Beaver'
Warnings: violence

Limp


Logan thinks that maybe he's always wanted it. All those times Weevil kicked his ass, fucked him up, beat him down.

"Why don't you just kill me?" Logan challenged, speaking haltingly between laboured breaths. Logan's body began to curl instinctively, flinching away from Weevil's boot. He felt like his chest had been caved in by Weevil's last punch; he wondered if his heart had been crushed by the blow.

"Crack your skull open? The way your daddy killed Lilly?" Weevil kicked, and Logan felt sure his heart was demolished. "Not my style," Weevil snarled.

Logan wonders if it will make him feel closer to Lilly— Lilly, whose memory fades a little more every day, replaced by a new and erroneous amalgamation of crime scene photos and glowing memorial descriptions of her that have appeared in the newspapers. He thinks that making out with Veronica on his father's bed in the pool house should have done the trick— Veronica, whose hair is growing out and has finally learned to swing her hips like her dead best friend.

But now he's stooped to picking up Lilly's garbage.

"Don't come here again," Weevil muttered, turning away.

Logan rolled onto his back, Weevil's retreating figure slanting through his vision. He was sticky with sweat and blood and the ocean's spray; sand caked between his fingers as he clawed his way into a sitting position.

It has been three weeks since his father's arrest. Three weeks since he'd started coming to the beach, looking for someone to fight. Sometimes another biker would step up, happy to slug some humility into the fallen 09'er. But always it would be Weevil who finally beat him to the ground. And as Weevil walked away and the spilled blood seeped through Logan's clothing, he'd finally grow hard. Because that is the other thing: he hasn't been able to get an erection any other way in three weeks.

There was a mechanical roar of engines, and one by one the bikers began to peel off, disappearing into the night. The air was thick and warm; it seemed to buoy Logan like seawater as he staggered to his feet.

"Wait—" he said, his shout faltering into a whisper. Anger and desperation mingled in his voice as he fell down again. Logan half-crawled to where Weevil was idling his motorcycle. He propped himself up against the hood of his car.

"We're done," Weevil said flatly.

The last of the bikers hesitated. Hector began to say something, but Weevil waved him on. "Go. I'll meet you there," he said, his eyes never leaving Logan.

The air was filled with the sound of engines once more as the rest of the bikers split. The ensuing silence expanded to fill the parking lot and beach, stretching all the way to the horizon, far out at sea.

"What do you want?" Weevil said at last. He leaned forward on his bike, his bloodied knuckles tightening on the handlebars.

"I want you to kiss me." Logan said it in a low, menacing tone; the words tumbling out like, I want you to hit me. "As hard as you can." The afterthought sprang from his lips. With a grin he remembered watching Fight Club with Duncan: the buzz of exhilaration in the air between them; the deep sweats of something that was not quite antagonism, not quite desire.

Weevil snorted, finally breaking eye contact with Logan. He licked his lips and looked off in the direction his friends had gone. "You rich kids," he said derisively. "Thinkin you can get anything you like."

"I bet she liked you to hurt her," Logan said, mockery rising up from the back of his throat.

"I was just garbage, remember?" said Weevil. "Somethin to grab hold of."

Logan arranged himself against the hood of the car; barely able to stand, but still self-consciously cocky and wanton. Weevil couldn't help but remember his thoughts the first time he had noticed Lilly. The shock of first impression: one, that she was trouble, that she would somehow find a way to cause him harm; two, that one day he would fuck her.

"Grab hold of me," Logan said, with an ostentatious leer. His voice dropped abruptly. "Make it hurt."

"Fuck you," Weevil growled.

"Yeah," said Logan. All the playfulness, all the pretence had drained from his voice — he just sounded sad. Weevil shook his head in disgust; he refused to let himself pity Logan Echolls.

"We could go to your place," Logan continued, desperation glinting in his eyes.

"What's the matter? Don't want me to fuck you in daddy's mansion. Don't want to put on a show for the cameras."

There was a pause, and then Logan smiled mirthlessly. "I hired some new cleaners," he said conversationally. "Should have given your grandma a call, come to think of it. We already have three maids. I hired three more. They're there every day. And the house is still quiet. So quiet. All the fucking time."

Logan leaned forward, pushing himself away from the car. His hands reached for the handlebars of Weevil's bike as he struggled to stand. "Please," he whispered— and Weevil was thinking about it. Maybe he'd been thinking about it ever since the first time he had punched Logan in the face and the boy had smiled. That smile that said Weevil could ram his cock up his ass and he'd still be smiling, still be in control even as Weevil flattened his palm against his back and pushed down.

Weevil reached out a hand to steady Logan. His fingers wound around his upper arm. Logan half-collapsed against Weevil and his bike; his body yielding to the solid wall of muscle and steel. Logan's lip had split earlier with the impact of Weevil's fist. Weevil leaned forward, dragging his tongue along the cut. The burst of blood was warm; its sharp metallic tang acting like a trigger.

Weevil kissed Logan properly this time. Logan's tongue fought against his as Weevil further agitated his bottom lip. He could feel the pain pulsing from Logan, driving him to push harder. His teeth razored along the tip of Logan's tongue, as he resisted the urge to bite down hard.

Weevil pulled away. Logan reached up and wiped his own mouth using the back of his hand. He met Weevil's gaze, staring him down. "We could go back to your place," he repeated. This time Logan reached for Weevil's hand. He placed it on the bulge in his pants that revealed his erection. "You can do anything to me. I don't care."

"You rich kids." Weevil's lip curled. He looked Logan up and down. "You're all the same." Lost little children, dressed up in nice clothes and a bad attitude.

Weevil kissed Logan one last time. His fingers curled lazily around his erection, making Logan groan. "I could make you come," Weevil muttered in his ear. "I could help you fill that big old house with the sound of your own screams.

"But I've already been there and done that."

Weevil pushed Logan away — just hard enough that he fell to the ground with a soft thump. He kicked off the stand on his motorbike and drove away. He didn't bother to look back.

Fantastic. I still don't think I'll ever be a Logan/Weevil enthusiast but I liked this. Especially your characterisation of Logan - that, I really loved. The mixture of despair and greed and then also weakness mixed with aggression.
And of course, references to Logan and Duncan watching fight club together - wonderful.

Wow.

Okay so up until now, I never really "got" Logan/Weevil. Probably because a) Weevil had just come across as way to hetero for me (kinda like how I could never slash Gunn from Ats) and b) because I loved the idea of Logan/Duncan too much. This though? Well like I said, wow. You stayed so true to the characters here that I could actually picture this happening (ie: "Logan arranged himself against the hood of the car; barely able to stand, but still self-consciously cocky and wanton.") and actually hear them saying these words. You managed to make this, I don't know, impossible scenario I guess somehow believable. I mean, I never would have imagined I'd say that of Logan begging Weevil to fuck him but, yeah, it worked. I can't say I've really read a ton of slash but it seems to me that with most of it, the authors peel away the layers of BOTH characters, dig deep behind their canon exteriors, write about their hidden depth, high-light/build-on/create insecurities, etc., slowly (in good fic anyway) emasculating them to shape them into who they need them to be in order for slash to occur. What I find so interesting about this fic is that you didn't follow that formula or, at most, really only did so with one character. And even then, a character who has already had many of his layers exposed as canon. I don't know, I just love that you kept up Weevil's macho exterior and instead focused on breaking down Logan, beautifully taking him though those few extra steps needed to get to the point where he could demand that Weevil kiss him and, later, more. Speaking of which btw, his desperation? Absolutely heart-breaking (ie: "You can do anything to me. I don't care.")

Anyway this whole piece is so wonderfully written but I managed to pick out a few more lines in particular that really blew me away...

"I want you to kiss me." Logan said it in a low, menacing tone; the words tumbling out like, I want you to hit me. "As hard as you can."

"Fuck you," Weevil growled.
"Yeah," said Logan. All the playfulness, all the pretence had drained from his voice — he just sounded sad.


"Please," he whispered — and Weevil was thinking about it.*

*This? This is my favourite. It's the line that hit me hardest and I wish I could figure out why so I could explain it to you but, well, I just can't put my finger on it for some reason.

"I could help you fill that big old house with the sound of your own screams.
"But I've already been there and done that."


*sigh* Such a FABULOUS job with this. Like I said, the way you write them really intrigues me and I'd definitely be up for reading more of them from you if you happen to be inspired that way in the future.

Oops, I forgot to mention that gorgeous icon of yours was a fantastic visual aid ;). I honestly kept glancing up at it while reading.

Ah, picking out those lines really made me love this fic even more - thank you.

Especially:

"Fuck you," Weevil growled.
"Yeah," said Logan. All the playfulness, all the pretence had drained from his voice — he just sounded sad.

"You can do anything to me. I don't care."


Wow. They really are mind-blowing.

Regarding the "Please," he whispered — and Weevil was thinking about it. line.......
this reminds me of something in Classical Greek grammar (well, that's where I learnt it at least) - a genitive absolute (eg. "Jack having bought the bread, Jill made some lunch" or "Duncan having disappeared, Logan and Weevil had a passionate affair"). It's very powerful in narratives and has a very specific effect. The line in the fic is NOT a genitive absolute but it conjures the same effect in my mind - switching between two figures very quickly and with little overlapping. What I'm trying to say is that: what people liked about GAs are what I think I like about this line, perhaps the same for you? (Probably not... I often have erm, "unique" reactions).

Oooh, no, I really do think you're on to something there. I vaguely remember my Creative Writing class touching on the genitive absolute and the, uh... ablative absolute? And, like you said, by moving from Logan's words to Weevil's thoughts so succinctly, it's like they were, I don't know, brought closer? Yeah, almost made "one" if you will. Something that, when stepping back and looking at it in the context of the story and what the sentence is actually saying, well, it works so well. It really does make the moment that much more powerful.

Er, I haven't gone and embarrassed myself now have I? *g*

Whoa. You guys. With your intellectual analysis. Me just like the pretty boys to kiss. And stuff. ;)

Seriously . . . such lovely feedback. Thank you (both) so much. *glows*


P.S. Re: the icon. Heh. I almost always, without fail, "write" fic in my head while I'm making fan art. Just as an explosion of 'shippiness. That icon started out with the lyrics to Brand New's 'The Shower Scene' on it, but I was listening to Fiona Apple and picturing this scene and . . . the rest is history. Or something. ;)

I really, really like it. I wish I could offer a more detailed review, but my brain is fried.

Yep, your fic is that hot.

That's wonderful. I just--- gah. The angst, the homoerotic "Fight Club" undertones, everything is perfect. The ending killed me.

Mmm. Dude. God, it was nice to see and more importantly *read* NC17 Weevil/Logan. Sweet Moses is that hard to come by. Unless, I'm looking in the wrong places. Aaaaaand the mostest important bit of all. It was so fucking well written and nummy.

"Fuck you," Weevil growled.

"Yeah," said Logan.


I loooooove that.

Is there more? Does Weevil come back a few hours later and pull up beside Logan and tell him to 'Hop on?' then they go back to one of their places and bang?
