	fanfic: Motives
	Written for the Primeval100 challenge: Kisses Title: Motives Author: Athene Fandom: Primeval Characters: Abby, Connor/Caroline, (Abby/Connor implied) Rating: PG Warnings: none Spoilers: general series 2 Challenge: Kisses Word count: 100 Disclaimer: Not mine. ITV and Impossible Pictures own them. Abby watches as Caroline deliberately avoids Connor’s kisses. She sees how Caroline never initiates any kissing or touching, despite her almost overwhelming possessiveness. Connor, of course, is oblivious. He’s too wrapped up in the excitement and novelty of ‘Hey! Wow! Girlfriend!’ Abby wonders about Caroline’s motives. If she isn’t interested in physical intimacy, why is she so relentlessly clingy? What does she see in Connor? What does she get out of the relationship? Connor’s motives, of course, are obvious. Abby is very careful to avoid thinking about her own motives, and why she spends so much time watching, and wondering. Tags: abby maitland, connor/caroline, fanfic, het

Excellent :-) I'm sure Abby did a lot of wondering like that.

Connor, of course, is oblivious. He’s too wrapped up in the excitement and novelty of ‘Hey! Wow! Girlfriend!’

*Splorfle!* Spot on! That's exactly how he was the whole time.

You were quick off the mark!

Connor was just so wide-eyed and bouncy and completely oblivious to the fact that there was anything wrong with the relationship. I kept wanting to slap him and say 'Wake up!' for most of series 2.

Cool, thanks. I suppose it does sum them up, doesn't it?

I love sharp, observational drabbles like this. The Connor being oblivious bit is brilliant!

Connor is just so completely oblivious to everything except cool dinosaurs. It's a wonder the poor lad ever notices anything. Abby, on the other hand, notices *everything*.

I think that's why Abby/Connor make such a good team - she needs more awe and enthusiasm, and he needs more common sense. Together they balance each other perfectly.

‘Hey! Wow! Girlfriend!’

*sporfles*

Great drabble - tells you something important about all three characters involved.

I had to get a quick second opinion from Luka before I posted this, because I was worried that Abby might come across as being too cynical or bitchy. But Connor is just adorably oblivious *not sure whether to pet Connor, or slap him for being an idiot*

tells you something important about all three characters involved.

Oooh, thanks. That's a great comment.

emotional/spiritual closeness?

Abby wouldn't think of that, certainly not where Connor is concerned. She probably doesn't thnk he has enough depths for that kind of relationship. She'd probably be wrong to think that, but Abby just doesn't see Connor as that kind of person so it makes sense that she wouldn't think that of his relationship with Caroline

Glad you liked. Abby/Connor just seems to be one of those pairings that I can do something with in 100 words, they don't have to be complicated because ther relationship is just right there in front of you. Does that make sense?

Spot on. You've absolutely got all three of them. :)

Cool, thanks. Given my tendency for writing Connor/Abby, I'm actually surprised it's taken this long for Caroline to turn up in one of my fics.

Ooops! There aren't any specific episode spoilers there, but that's just a general feel for what the whole Abby/Connor/Caroline triangle is like for most of series 2.

it does make me fear that I'm going to be yelling at Connor a lot this season

He's my favourite character, and I can usually forgive him quite a lot, but even *I* was yelling at him for most of the series.

Spot on drabble. You do have to wonder what Abby made of the whole situation.

	From: deinonychus_1	Date: September 19th, 2008 08:16 am (UTC)		(Link)

Yes, poor Abby didn't really didn't like it when Caroline came along and intruded on Abby and Connor's team dynamic.

I had originally been intending to do a Nick/Claudia for this challenge, but you pretty much nailed exactly what I was going to do with your drabble the other day, so I did this instead.

Poor Connor, totally unaware he was being set up. I'm sure Abby did a lot of thinking or avoiding thinking (g)

Poor Connor, he was so happy and excitable about the whole thing, so oblivious to the fact that she was faking.

hee, poor Connor, stuck in the middle of those two women glaring at each other. I'd be quite scared if it were me...
