A meme I just couldn't resist:

Make up a title for a story I didn't write, and I will respond with details of those non-written stories. You may if you like include details, such as pairings or fandom or whatnot.

I've tried to reply to everyone that's posted this themselves, but I know I haven't done everyone's. I will get round to it though.

"Nothing Rhymes With Orange"-- the inner angst of Hulk Hogan.

First I must say you're evil

>>"Nothing Rhymes With Orange"-- the inner angst of Hulk Hogan.<< I think I know the fic you're on about. Yeah, it was all about the way Hulk Hogan both knew how ridiculous he looked, but was kind of in denial about it, except for those moments (three o'clock in the morning, can't sleep because of muscle pain moments) where he just couldn't avoid it. It was quite sad really, because it was all about how he didn't want to lose the life he was living, but at the same time realised that he was starting to get to that age where he would have to because he just couldn't do it any more.

This was the rest of the Val Venis arc in The West Wing AU. Basically, Val's Dad had a heart attack and had to live with Val while he recuperated. It was all about identity because Val's Dad despises him for working for the government because he got caught up in the McCarthy era witchhunts because he's a socialist. Meanwhile Val still hasn't forgiven his father for the way he was when Val was when Val was growing up, because Val's Mum and Dad were always arguing because money was tight. There was never anything physical or anything and his parents never divorced but it wasn't a very nice atmosphere. Val always took his mother's side, even when she was in the wrong, and his Dad remebers this and still feels a bit betrayed.

Anyway, no-one else at work understands this because whenever they meet Val's Dad he's a lovely guy, very charming, very old-fashioned.

Anyway, matters come to a head while Val is trying to get a welfare bill passed through Senate, and his Dad's all 'this is a betrayal of your heritage' and 'I didn't bring you up to do things like this' etc.

Of course it turns out that this is all history repeating because Val's Grandfather, who came to America to escape the Communist take-over of Russian in 1918, disapproved of his son etc.

They never agree, of course, and still don't get on, but I think it helps clear the air between them.

It's a fic I wrote because I was trying to show how politics and inter-personal relationships affect each other and the AU gave me a chance to do it.
