The story of a lonesome ol'Jerome

Summary

Gwyn is 34 years old, a successful veterinarian. She works long hours, and moved far away from her friends to take her current job. She's profoundly lonely, and has suffered from dysthymia and episodic major depression her entire adult life. She's always been made fun of for being a little tall for a girl, and even more so for being overweight and looking different. Of course, now she dresses "professionally" for work, and can assimilate into the mold she needs to, to be able to bring healing to her patients, but the mask is a heavy one. She takes solace in music and her pets.

When she hears BVB are coming through town, she's totally stoked. She is a huge fan of their music and their message. She has also found a creative outlet in writing BVB fan fiction, though she'd die if anyone at work ever found out! But because of her job, she hasn't gone out to a concert in a long time, and a lot of the BVB Army is so much younger than her- while she is used to being made fun of, she doesn't want to get slapped around, or worse. She does have kind of a short fuse, sometimes. Could it get her into trouble?

What does 'Jerome' mean? Andy explains here, at 40 minutes into this interview.

*Note- this is totally just a silly little story, dudes. If you hate it, sorry. I've never written one before. This is an Andy-focused romantic-type story. I've tried to delineate all the chapters with sexin' in them with 'smut' in the description.*

(I have another story that is written as one of the fan fictions that Gwyn began writing prior to meeting Andy. It's fantasy/AB-centric, called Night Watch, for short.)
(I have another story that is more of a fantasy/AB smut, called Succubus.)

Ok, cool. I don't mind plodding plots at all, but as a frustrated English teacher, I can totally understand the grammar and structure stuff.

@Merelan


oh, i'm not changing it significantly in that regard. i mean more a stylistic change to make it easier to read: breaking up paragraphs, improving grammar and tense consistency, stuff like that. i've become a much better writer and i want my stuff to reflect that. if you're nervous about the changed, you can check out the newest version on my wattpad account. my user name is anathemadvm, just plain anathema was taken. i'm still likely to further revise the very beginning a little, but nothing is plot related, i like the plot as much as i ever did. i just want it to be easier to read, that's all.

Actually, the beginning of LoJ fits the story perfectly, IMHO. You establish Gywn as a likeable, but clearly flawed character from the door. It's much different from most other fanfic, which want to get to the Bride(s) ASAP.

oh my goodness! i don't think even i have read it that many times, though i could be wrong! i've certainly only read it through once in one sitting! i promise that the edited version is higher quality, but i don't dare tinker with it here until i have the whole thing ready to go. right now i've edited through chapter 50, though i might need to ahve another look at the very beginning, because it's so plodding.
