5169201 angry people act on impulse. i should know. i used to be very easy to anger. the first time i ever got suspended was for kicking a teacher for taking my hat right off my head in 5th grade.
Yeah, I've seen that kinda of impulsive and incidental violence come out of peoples anger for more then 20 years. Especially in emotionally overcharged situations. Funny enough it knows no limit based on age(children to wiry old folks) or sex/gender. And yes, most often when it seems uncalled for at first glance. The deeper the trigger...
But you’re going to have to swallow that frankly ugly arrogant streak
Erm... I'll admit I'm not the most socially adept individual in the world, but I'm not really seeing this "ugly arrogant streak" Spitfire is implying Lionel has. Could someone explain that one to me? Sure, he could probably have handled the situation better than he did, but I don't think his sour attitude was exactly uncalled for, especially after Rainbow threw hot coffee on him.
Trust me, I've been burned several times in my life, once all over my forearm by a spray of literally boiling cooking oil. Burns fucking suck. Being in a foul mood after having hot coffee tossed on you is perfectly reasonable.
Nice to see the story is still being worked on. Ingress is an interesting universe, and the mature content of Vacation is good deal better than average as well, imo.
Ouch. I once spilled freshly-nuked soup on my belly. It got REALLY hard to find a comfortable sleeping position after that for about a week and a half.
I really feel for our boy Lionel here.
As a post note, I ended up with a scar shaped either like the Bodensee in Germany, or a guy playing cricket, depending on how you looked at it.
“Figures,” Lionel muttered, sighing and reaching down into the cupboard underneath the little shelf where the kettle was, pulling out a pair of cups and placing them on the shelf, before pulling out the drawer and producing a spoon, starting to dole spoonfuls of sugar into each cup.
I am both surprised and happy to see a new chapter here. hot coffee that was a bit to much rainbow dash after all he is a human not a fir covered pony that is going to burn bade. now Leon needs to get around his pride and trick dash in to giving in to her feelings. do I see a possible flower behind his right ear ?

Before the coffee.
“Oh, I knew you’d hate it,” Lionel said flippantly, “I just didn’t particularly care.”
If he thinks Dash is being unfairly possessive and wants her to be affectionate, "You're just an easy lay" isn't the way to ask for it.
Lionel did it full well knowing that it would piss of Dashie, and then antagonized her about it, all because, previously, she had said they were 'just friends'. He's being a petty asshole, and then making it all her fault.
So first of all: FUCK YES new chapter! (ill patreon when I finally get paid)
second: Holy shit, I did not see this happening.
Honestly I don't think Lionel was that out of line here, I mean sure he antagonised her, but she was directly treating him like property, it's natural to stake a claim to personal independance when that happens, buttfucking Spitfire seemed quite reasonable in that instance (possibly one of the stranger sentences I have ever written)
Can't say I would have responded the same, but Lionel certainly handled being burned by scalding water better than I ever have.
“If you’re looking for Dashie to just come out and say something, she won’t. You have to trick her into giving you any kind of affection at all.
What I get from this: She's not worth the PAIN IN THE ASS to form a lasting relationship with.
Spitfire paused before she left. “Also, if you don’t patch things up with Dashie, you and me are not happening again, understood? I’ll need a signed note if you want under his tail again.”
Oh well. *Shrugs* Less cleanup time.
Think of me what you will for those reactions; I've seen people try time and time again to form lasting relationships of different types, and most of the time it ends poorly with only RARE success, and even then it has a chance of falling apart down the line. I have come to the conclusion that staying single is much simpler, and much less stressful emotionally and mentally. As for feeling lonely (no, I mean ACTUAL loneliness) I normally don't. If you are in want of simple company, get a dog. As for lust...truth be told I'm still a virgin. The only people that lack of sex seems to bother is those that aren't.
5177073 ... *Quietly pukes in the corner* If one CAN puke quietly. Maybe (if I was drunk out of my mind) one of the more anthropomorphic breeds of Diamond Dog, but not a DOG dog. *Screw Loose whines in disappointment*
I've had my twisted moments, but normally I just get called strange. Sooner or later everyone who's had at least two hour-long conversations with me does that.
Dash was in the wrong. Treating him like a personal sex toy isn’t cool. Lionel did the right thing. I would’ve done the same, if not thrown my own coffee over her in retaliation.
“Sorry, thought you were Rainbow Dash.”
Sorry, I gotta side with Lionel here. What the hell did she think hot coffee was going to do to him?
Commence read.
Something about this sentence seems off.
Huh, update. That's cool, I actually thought this was completed.

Got boiling water on my hand once. Can't inmagine what scalding coffe against the chest would feel like.
Jesus, hot coffee?
Lionel has more self control than I.
That is why when giving an angry person coffee you make sure to put milk, cream or cold water in it.

5169397 They'd probably be similar? Except that you have more nerve endings in your hand. So that was probably worse. Next time go for nipple coffee.
I got melted butter into my nose once when I was making bacon
Not sure how it happened myself, but it hurt like a mother fucker.
Ouch. I once spilled freshly-nuked soup on my belly. It got REALLY hard to find a comfortable sleeping position after that for about a week and a half.

I like the cover art.

It LIVES
Boom, the two years long week is back!
Yay! Needed a good laugh after having, ironically, hot coffee spilt all over my arm.
Very long sentence. You need to break it up some.
I am both surprised and happy to see a new chapter here.
hot coffee that was a bit to much rainbow dash after all he is a human not a fir covered pony that is going to burn bade.
now Leon needs to get around his pride and trick dash in to giving in to her feelings.
do I see a possible flower behind his right ear ?
This was a nice surprise to find when coming home from work.
Once i got my whole back burned, Couldn't sleep or wear a shirt for 4 days
Nice. I'd forgotten about this story over the summer. Happy to see a new chapter.

Lionel did it full well knowing that it would piss of Dashie, and then antagonized her about it, all because, previously, she had said they were 'just friends'. He's being a petty asshole, and then making it all her fault.
Spitfire is wise to that kind of thing, though.
5172713 Oh, he was being an asshole, no doubt about it, but the way Dash acted was out of line too, even before she tossed the coffee at him.
It was the arrogant part I was wondering about, not the asshole part. As far as I'm concerned they both acted like a pair of dicks.
So first of all: FUCK YES new chapter!
(ill patreon when I finally get paid)
second: Holy shit, I did not see this happening.

So when is the next one?
AP, your stories are AWESOME , this along with Changling Roun have to be my favourites!
I know you haven't been twiddling your thumbs for six months on this fic, but please please PLEASE don't take another long break with the next chapter

Yeeeah, I've spent way too long around people with twisted senses of humour
