Hard and Soft - new AU story available

I've just finished a new AU-style story that might be interesting to this forum. It's a bit over the top and definitely R-rated, and is illustrated in my usual style.

If you like bad girls, you will like this one.

"Given that the sea was rising and a storm approaching, he changed course to rescue her from her tiny boat.

She returned the favor by trying to kill him. "

You had me right from that moment. Love it.

Glad you liked it, Sarge. Looks like I need to write part 2.

Of course, given the way Astrid is getting more powerful (what with her personal 'battery' to recharge her), she's going to be damn hard to stop.

Haven't figured out a way yet. Have to dream on that for a bit.

Shadar

Might be some way to reflect back her energies upon her? Or take out her battery and then deal with her when she is much lower in charge.

I like the way you think, Sarge. Weapons become little more than clubs when they're out of ammo.

On the other hand, even without orgone fueling her, she's pretty lethal, witness the first encounter on Gern's boat.

Very VERY cool story Shadar!

Glad you liked it, Kelly.

I figured it was time to try to create the baddest girl I could, but without repeating either myself or any of the other authors here.

Scarlet Johansen's eyes have always intrigued me, and I was admiring a picture of hers from the Island when I got the idea of making her eyes the ultimate weapon.

Here's the picture that got me going:

So naturally I had to use her as my model for Astrid.

You nailed it good Shadar!
And you left a lot of room for her to grow. You even went old school, or should I say "Old AU" with the .. er.. badness, and um.. sex! Haha!

Just wanted to say that I like your new story as well- I have some suppositions regarding the plot, or should I say wishes ha, in any case it's nice to read something new coming out of your virtual pen!
