Sync is a Bryce/Nicole (FlashForward) fic that focuses on their relationship from the point of their first kiss on. *remember how frakkin' awesome that was?* While some elements are from canon others are not but there's always an effort to keep the characters in character.

Starting new relationships is never easy, whether with people or television shows.

You see that new prospect in the glance of a promo that piques your interest and immediately you think of all the past relationships that went oh so wrong... and the others that so worked out. You make the fateful decision. Will you steal away with this new one for a rendezvous? Possibly even putting your steady, reliable on DVR hold for your tryst? The new is all unknown and excitement. Full of nothing but great expectations. It could be another great time.

You make the date. You tune in for the pilot & it's better than pretty good. You adore it. Sure, maybe it's the drinks you've had that help to gloss over the fact that this may not be a perfect union afterall. You rationalize through the cringeworthy that it's just the first date and it could work itself out. As time goes on though, you find that you're the one doing all the real work in the relationship. You make the excuses. You're annoyed when the story they're handing you tests the limits of your credulity because you can tell they didn't even take time to bother to tell you a cohesive story... or they think you're an idiot that's unable to remember details from week to week. Either way, it's not a good sign. And sometimes, they pull things that make you wonder if they're bipolar because it seems they clearly don't remember what they say from week to week.

But, if you're like me, you don't bail... like many others do. Because you've put in time and you need to see it though. Now you're caught in the bad relationship where the only thing that's going to set you free is the Network Cops who can issue your new and highly flawed STS (significant tv show) a sentence of cancellation from on high. And when they do, you'll simper a bit but know deep down that it's for the best... because you hadn't the strength to walk away on your own, no matter how dysfunctional. And then comes the summer and you're out again after having consoled yourself with lots of time with your steadies because they fulfilled all their promises to you & were granted an additional season. You're flipping though channels or driving on the expressway and you see another new promo. And you're back at square one.

Tonight is the premiere of NBC's The Event and I'm going to tune in. Of course. Please don't let it pull a FlashForward on me... I'm still not fully recovered from the frustration & annoyance.

And in other television news, I'll be tuning in to CBS for Hawaii Five-0. That's right, it took Daniel Dae Kim & Grace Park to even get me to remotely care about a show on CBS (yes, I am still annoyed about Jericho). Someone must have clued in that Lost + BSG= Awesome... or that since my weekly John Cho dose is gone (FlashForward) I'd need something else to sigh over. So, for now, thank you to CBS. Here's hoping that if I love it, the rest of the CBS core audience doesn't hate it so I don't have to endure another heartbreak like Jericho... or Harper's Island.

I need to catch up on Rubicon & Mad Men as I missed them last night. Football got in the way. Sons of Anarchy is still so perfect & Jax/Tara are crazy awesome. Tara is a woman I understand. When her man brings the crazy talk, she simply tells him he's not making sense, rips a room apart & then brings it all back around by basically telling him that they're both getting off the crazy train he bought tickets for. Oh, would that Zoey & Nicole have been the same type of chicas that could have broken it down for the men in their lives, possibly FlashForward could have had a future that I would have cared to see. Clay/Gemma still make me go squee. The Jax/Opie bromance gets me like Adama/Tigh always did. Love. I still want Stahl to pay but I don't want her gone. She's my SoA version of Lost's AnaLucia. I can't believe Hale is gone & I don't trust his bro one bit. Shady McBackstabber... I just know it. Okay, so I've one little question... Where the hell is Otto?! I miss him & still kinda miss Luanne. And I still miss Half but the SAMCRO casket he was sent off in was crazy cool.

So here's to the hope held when about to embark on a new show. May it be more awesome than cringeworthy & more kickass than WTF?! And should it fall short, let the pain be numbed by the cable networks which never fail to deliver.

And yes, I'm still working on Sync. I'm not going to post until the last 4 chapters are complete.

Oh the ambitious plans on the first day of Summer! Here's to living dangerously & penning drabbles on sultry days and stormy nights. All drabbles will be in this entry. Let's see where the muses take me. If you want to make a comment, please reply to the drabble itself instead of posting a new comment. From charloft .

Okay, so after some major family RL drama that's pretty much leveled off, I'm back and ready to contemplate the last part of Sync. I've also some drabbles to post, so it looks like I'm going to have a busy Bryce/Nicole weekend as the summer comes to a close.

I've decided that I'm not so pleased with the last chapter but it is what it is & there's no going back now. But I do have lots of sweet moments in mind for the last four chapters so that makes me happy... and hopefully will make those reading happy as well. Now should I be lucky enough to be on a roll and a streak when I get down to writing, I'll hopefully be able to get multiple chaps done & posted next week. And wouldn't that be awesome?

Snagged from beyondthepen. Made me laugh for some of the pairings I had to think up.

Title: Sync
Fandom: Flashforward
Genre: Romance/Friendship
Pairing: Bryce/Nicole
A/N: Late with no excuses. I wanted the story to go one way but the characters didn't agree & thought they knew better where they should go. Voluminous revision ensued. This is long, so get your drink of choice and settle in. Ready? Let's get right to the main. This closes out Sync- Part 4: Fury & Folly. The fifth & final part (4 chapters) is Consonance & is in process. Enjoy! Besos! xoxo

This chapter is posted in 2 parts because it exceeded the post allowance.

( Chapter 15: Synthesis Part I )

I am sick of Chapter 15 of Sync! Utterly and completely. Between wanting simply to get on to Chapter 16 & wanting to slap around the main characters, I want out already. It's running long and I know it needs to be because it brings some things to a close & opens up new arcs, but I just don't want to be there anymore. It feels tedious & wears on my muse.

Now if I could channel my discontentment into something awesome on the screen, that'd be great. I've written & re-written one particular part of the chapter three times and I'm still not feeling it.

Alright, enough complaining. If you've been wondering where the chapter is, the writer is off trying to come up with the best way to do what needs to be done. But at least I've had a chance to use one of the icons beyondthepen made for me. A bit of a silver lining there. :D

Back from vacation, rested, caught up somewhat on work & tonight I am going to get on to Chapter 15 of Sync. I'm well rested & kinda full of ideas, so here's hoping for the best. I'm shooting for Thursday to post it so stay tuned.

A/N: Finally! :D Muse happens & the time it takes to chill and craft the story can't be helped. Thx for hanging in to read & especially if you've reviewed, I adore you to pieces. While the aftermath of the second GBO continues to unravel around them, our favorite couple are on their own paths to figuring out their relationship and of course aren't yet on the same page. Btw, the story should be closing out around 19 or 20 chapters, so we've a little time left but I'm quite sure the ending will be satisfying and make sense. Lastly, I'm leaving for vacation in about six hours so realistically, the next chapter won't be up until the sometime during the 1st week in August. Italics are flashback. Besos! xoxo
