Never Break the Chain - Chapter 1 - mikerome - Scandal (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It's done!

yeah bro it's a character study. the 2 thousand words of blowjob is vital to the study of the character

#character study thats based on masturbation to the idea of a blowjob >>>

Thanks to the person that said that they were really happy about my update and that they reread the entire thing. I think its perfect for a cozy afternoon read

One of the things i hate the most in fanfics and erotica in general is how very few authors are able to develop characters and the plot in sex scenes. That is a golden chance you have right there!!!

#whatever premature ejaculation should be used more

The show scandal is really really smart in how it uses sex and everyone involved as main characters there do a good job. I love olitz but i will actually defend jake and scott foley here. Olake sex scenes are usually revolting to me and that is a good thing. It makes sense in context. Olivia in the darkest of places going to him? Makes sense. Sex with no vulnerability and no love. It has a narrative point and it does that well.

I really care for never break the chain. I love that story more than anyone else. I was going through my masters during 95% of it. A lot was written while i was in uni in line for lunch or on public transport. I did that. It is good. It might not be perfect but its mine.

I write for myself and all that but it is good to know that my writing and my effort mean something to people. It doesnt matter if its fanfiction or just whatever meta i write here. Its nice putting stuff out there and getting the same energy back.

#a thoughtful reply or ask #a really good written fanfoc review #like i will be rereading that many times

Vermont best sex scene in the show and its not close btw. The most intimate we ever see them.

#is it my favorite? i dont think so #it is the best

Again, traumatized by 509 but that eventually led to Mellie drunk in Olivia's apartment and Olivia finally FINALLY admiting that she enjoyed Fitz being married. She always needed that escape. Given the choice to not make it real and to run she would go for it. Its also the reason a real relationship could never happen until he was actually divorced AND out of the white house.

it is kinda crazy that the show all but explicitly states the olivia sleeps with jake as a form of self harm (and honestly we can say it DOES explicitly state that. it’s just some people are dumb) and people will still debate if olake was better.

Sometimes the actors when promoting the show would lean into it but to me the writers and the direction always made it very clear what Jake's role was. That storyline was never about love. It was a prime example of how Olivia could use sex to escape her problems, use Jake to protect her relationship with Fitz (season 3) and it was also very clearly an example of how Rowan's abuse affected different people.

Every four months i touch the final chapter of never break the chain and i can never get the final scene right. I'm never finishing this oh my god. It doesn't have to be perfect but it's not good. I hate it here.

#like its been two years since i last published anything #and i know i only need like 300-400 words but i cannot do it

Olivia proves herself to be, maybe not more suicidal, but certainly more inclined to self-harm than Fitz. And that is often ignored. She will invent many different ways to do it, sex with people she doesn't care for, attaching herself to Mellie, go in full papa pope behavior in an attempt to mimic her own father, molding herself to something she thinks other people want from her or expectations of what kind of power she should have.

As i once said, and it still remains one of my favorite things i've ever written: "She can make governors and presidents while suicidal, she's quirky like that! (/joke)"

#That's a woman that killed a man with a chair (justified)#runs away to a remote island with a man she doesn't love #its not surprising when she's violent actually #olivia pope #scandal #olitz

(sorry if this was you) months ago someone sent me an ask that wanted me to talk about Fitz's suicide attempt and self-harm tendencies (i wrote many words also many months ago, not ready to publish) and I find it interesting but nowhere as near as Olivia's tendencies.

I was in a crisis and rewatching scandal at 23 going absolutely bonkers over it just like when i was 14 fr 😭😭. Then i had to go get a life.

#i already had a life but life is really easier when youre just a student

So close yet so far. I have 80% of this final chapter ready. It's been like this for such a long time. I haven't published a single thing in over a year. I keep trying and its never what i want it to be

I have the ending. I don't have the complete final scene but i have the ending!!!!!!

#maybe i only needed a weekend a beer and a smoke #we'll see

Now aware that i need less than 1000 words for this to be good enough to be done with. I'm not the same i cant force much more than that but i'm so close

#reality: i take another year to write these last 1000
