Anyway, so yeah, after diving head first into the fandom, I was totally depressed to find that it's seriously shallow in regards to Ripley/Hicks fics... so clearly, I need to just give in and write some of my own.
I'm going to go into the Big Bang pretty much blind, but here's a very VERY rough plot idea so far: The survivors on the Sulaco attempt to build a family in the midst of physical, mental, and emotional pain. Add in possible Company pissyness and the alien ship that maybe wasn't destroyed in the blast. Cue h/c angst, eyesmexing, and possible action scenes.
Let me know what you think, and also, if you know of any awesome Ripley/Hicks Icons or fics, PLEASE pass them on! I will love you forever!!
Oh hey look pretty... lots of pretty:


(OK so yeah I cheated and this is Kyle Reese.. but I flipped it so the scar is sorta on the right side! ...not that anyone is actually going to read this comment when the pic is right above it... wait.. what was I saying? *beam*)
Oh! BTW, I will work on the Reaper!Vaako fic eventually.. the muse just decided this is coming first.
