18, 28 💜
18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.
Ho-Kay, I actually put this off for awhile because I needed the scene I wanted to answer this for to actually be publish and it has been for a couple months now so lets talk about Familiar Path, Different Place Chapter 10 Because the trailer over the cliff is what I’m proud of.
So first of all, the trailer over the cliff scene was a big factor in the choice to make Edge of Chaos a mixed Canon series. I was upset that in FIlm canon Sarah gets one of her moments of badassery taken from her. SO that wasn’t going to happen in Fp-Dp.
I spent a lot of time working out the logistics of how Sarah who is the shortest of the bunch at 5′3″ would deal with getting Ian whos 6′4″ out of this. Nick ended up coming in for assist but Sarah dealing with having to powerlift her big ass boyfriend was moved to the end of the fic beach rescue.
Ian injuring his leg here, again lifted from book canon because I wanted to have Sarah perform field surgery for the angst potential (and suffered every minute writing it but it was delicious).
I also knew I was going to avoid having Eddie die because I have plans for him in later fics, so again I borrowed from the book where-in its Thorn who comes to rescue Ian, Sarah, and Nick without encountering the Tyrannosaurs. They get Ian in the back of Mercedes because despite the upper trailer being considered safe in the book I didn’t think this group of very intelligent people would chance it.
Then of course that leads to the surgery scene where Sarah gets herself some trauma she’ll certainly have to work through in the future.
