I am soo gonna get in trouble for this.

Printer-friendly version

One of my favorite stories on Bigcloset is unfinished. And it seems that the writer is absent. This is a fan fiction attempt to help I hope.

Finding Christopher Chase

The sound of silence of the road is interrupted by the passing of a car not from around Oak Grove. It is an 86 Chrysler fifth avenue. There is a few small dents on the maroon car. The trees near the road are reflected in its passing as it makes its way into this small mountain town.

On the left hand side of the mainstreet is a service station with a single gas pump outside. The car passes this by. On the right hand side is a number of cars parked at an angle infront of a grocery store.

The woman in the car believes that this may be the place to start. She stops the Chrysler beside what looks to be a military jeep. The car is still running smoothly. It is unusual to see such a car in this town. The few people on the sidewalk look but since it is a stranger just pass it by.

An old man that must be in his 80s leaves the store with a paper bag and passes behind the Chrysler. He notices that on the trunk lid over some rust bubbles are two stickers, one says Rent a Wreck, and on the opposite side is 1812. He just shrugs and adjusts his suspender then opens his unlocked Cadillac and puts down his bag in the back seat before entering it and driving away.

The small blond woman puts her head against the steering wheel to calm herself. Grabbing the small pic that shows the head of her missing son off of the fuel gauge in the car she puts it lovily into her purse. She turns of the car removes the keys and places them in her purse. Unnoticed the picture so recently put in falls out onto the seat as she exits the car.

The picture shows a young man with blonde hair the same as his mothers. he has high cheekbones and a feminine look about his face.

The woman walks up to the grocers store and sees a hand written sign in the window that says simply Levchenko's and the store hours. The woman puts her hand on the door and breaths deeply.

"You can do this" she mutters and then pushes open the door. An old fashioned bell rings announcing her presence. The store is simple but is well stocked and cosy. This is very unlike the stores she is used to from the city. The people in the store turn towards her. She gulps and moves forward. There is a nice older lady at and older register behind a counter. She is speaking with a auburn haired girl whose jeans are not what she would expect a girl to wear. She sighs inward and thinks kids these days.

The woman behind the register has a russian accent but is easily understood. She catches the end of the conversation as she walks up.

"... Andrei we expect you and him to come to supper tonight."

"Yes Mom!" This child is her daughter the woman thinks. The young woman turns with her bag of groceries and passes by her in a rush it appears. No manners.

The blond woman with some grey in her hair is not that short really but the mother behind the register is taller than her but a full head.

"Umm Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but are you by chance related to Misha Levchenko."

"I am she"

"Well I am looking for my lost child. I have not heard..." She starts.

At that moment a beautiful girl with long blond hair comes out of the back of store she interrupts the woman to talk to Misha.

"I'm sorry Aunt Misha I could not find the order for Marge in the back. Maybe Uncle Alex knows where he put it." That voice. Its a bit high but it couldn't be. Its not possible.

The girl who is wearing a cardigan over a summer dress that shows off her long legs and delicate hands looks towards her and her eyes go wide.

"Mmmmm ... MOM!"

"Chris?"

"Christina"

"Yes Aunt Misha."

"Perhaps it is best for a mother and daughter to talk in the back."

"Yes Aunt Misha."

Christina

All my happiness of a few moments before are shattered by the arrival of my mom. I grab her hand and lead her into the back quickly and close the door from what I am sure is gonna be the hot new gossip of Oak grove. I completely forgot what I am dressed as as I face my mom.

"Mom what are you doing here? Wait is Danny here with you? Oh god who did you talk too?" I can feel my life crashing down around me.

"Sooo its Christina now is it? Is this why you quit your job in the city so that you could dress as a girl? Is this just to hurt me after all I have done for you? I haven't heard from you in months. You could have at least been decency enough to tell me you were going to to to do this." there she goes with the guilt trip again. My mom the expert.

"Look mom I don't have the time right now to go into it. Its not what you think things just happened. For right now please just trust me for once and go along. Here I am your daughter Christina Chase. Nobody knows about my past life. I promise Ill tell you all about it soon."

"When soon? next year?"

"Just soon. Just please trust me for one." I look pleadingly into her eyes.

"I will play along for now. But you owe Danny and I a very good explanation" I know this won't last. She always does something.

"Okay I have to get back to work. There is too many customers today for Aunt Misha to handle alone."

"You look very pretty. I just cannot believe this is my.."

"MOM!"

"Right this is not going to be easy."

"Please mom I am begging you just remember I have always been your daughter and Ill come to visit you and him even"

I know believe me I know

I blame the darn muse for this I couldn't help myself.

Or a Colt 45?

It would make a hell of a blog entry!

Hugs,

Thank you-and more please?

"Christina Chase" is one of my favorite series of all time! The writing was great, and the imagery was SO good!I loved the story...and then it stopped. It broke my heart. I had read rumors that he was going to finish it, but I also read that he wasn't interested any longer. Aaargh!

I would think that your story would actually be considered fan fiction. If the original author ever decides to return, his versioln would be canon, of course. But in case he never does come back, will you please write an actual conclusion to the story? I like your take on it so far.

Thank you! I did much the same thing on a couple of other stories. I too worry about the original author's reactions, but I believe that as I never claimed to be the original author, it isn't a theft-more of a tribute. I hope I'm right!

definitely a nightmare scene :P

I just reread it the other day :) can't see her mother showing up though and definitely not her promising to go visit stepdad . just my two coppers though :) we need you Admiral Krunch save Tina

I play online games *rolls eyes* yes I am one of those people :P
Fav puplished authors atm are Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson series),Carrie Vaughn (Kitty series), Kim Harrision.

Chris Chase

Yes, I know, I loved the story also, but the reality is that some of us come here to like totally work out our stuff, explore ourselves, come to a peas. Some of the folk here don't like the conclusions that some authors come to. It is however, the Author's life and we need to respect that.

If you remember, there are several other Author's who did the same thing. I had come here to help myself figure out if I was gay or what? At the time, I had no idea that T folk existed. I thought that dressing in women's clothes was shameful perversion. The fact that I did it in secret only added to the torment of guilt.

Now days, Just a decade later, I think that many people have come to a peace with what lies hidden within them.

I'd like to see the story finished up by the original Author, and even heard a couple months ago that he was returning, but nothing so far.

Much peace

So long as CLEARLY labled as fanfic & pref you got permission

But fan fic is generally okay unless the original author specifically says no.

As to her mother ... IMHO she would NOT come to look for her son as she had essentially pulled out of his life after her first hauband burned to death and frankly seemed at best indifferent to her child if not somewhat hosile. And then there is the ass of a step dad.

Still, a worthy story to fan fic but do your very best tels as it was and remains one of the best written serials here.

scared

I am actually scared to continue. It just same poof like it was.

Aside for that I am no where near good enough a writer to do it justice.

Short but still good.

Short but still good,I'd like to see more as It's a fanfic of 1 of my fav stories.

Request

Do you have a link to the original story?

Thanks

Thanks

How I Long for More

TiffQ's picture

While I find this to be an interesting take on the original, I really long for the Admiral to finish the original work. I've read the story more times than I can remember but always feel incomplete when I reach the end of the published story.

I want to know what happens to Christina more than I do any other story. I beg for more of the original!

No matter how good fan fiction is, it can never replace the original author's story.

That said, it'll be interesting to see what this other perspective produces.

Interesting take

I, like most others, really enjoyed the story. If you doing this little bit here stirs up the author, that may be a good thing. This is one story that deserves to be finished. Maybe the Admiral will now feel compelled to finish it.

Admiral Krunch

I think your efford to continue the Admiral's story "Being Christina Chase" Is wild and and interesting start. I seen the Admiral was logged into here a couple of weekends ago and I know I have ask him several times if he was going to continue this story with no responce to that. I don't think he would care (As Several Authors have lost the want/will to continue serial stories / There are several stories that authours have left us that left stories that that somebody should to try and continue them, especially putting their own thoughts where the story should go) if you did your own version to the story as long as you put a dis-claimer as to what your doing. As it seems he has lost all muse to continue his story. Myself I say "GO FOR IT GIRL With your own version of the story" It would be just like all those that have done their own versions of Maddy Bell's "Gaby Story" So I'm looking for more! YES MORE!!!
