Can anyone help me find a fic please... I'm sure it's a BotP fic told from Princess's POV, but can't remember the title or author. What I can remember is that Jason can swear in many different languages, and teaches Princess to say something totally offensive in Russian. Don't ask why I'm trying to find it, it just popped into my head and refuses to budge, and now is starting to bug me!!! for the sake of my sanity, please help!

I vaguely remember Jason swearing in many languages, but not what fic, KT. I think it was posted recently.

Nope, this one's an oldie but goodie: Apple Tree by Terri. http://gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=26

Although you make a good point, Becky. I think there are a number of fics with Jason having fluency in multi-lingual profanity!

Sounds familiar, but I just can't place it! I wonder if it is that same one I can't find...the one where Princess (or it may be Jun) goes to stay at some vacation place by herself ( I believe that it was Jason/ Joe's Uncle's place?)...and Jason (or Joe?) surprises her and joins her at the place...he shows up while she is laying on a hammock, I think. Anyway, he takes her around and shows her an Italian restaurant or something like that...

Nope, it's the other way around. Jun shows up and surprises Joe in the hammock. IIRC, it was inspired by that fanart of Joe lying in a hammock...

That's the one!! Thank you Jublke

You're welcome! Glad to know all of my reading came in handy.

There was a fic with Jason and Princess. The team was on vacation separately and Jason was using the house of a fellow racer in Sicily, I believe. Princess joined him (he was in a hammock relaxing when she showed up) and they ended up having sex. I won't tell the rest. I believe it was by Alison. Gotta go look.

hee hee hee post a link when you find it please Becky? I think I'd like to have a gander at that one too.

Becky, I think that's the one!!! I read it so long ago...when I first joined the fandom! It stuck with me, though! Please let me know when/if you find it! I'd love to read it again!

I haven't found it in Gatchfanfic. I know I have it printed in a pile of a hundred or so fics, so I have to go look for it. I can't remember the name. There were actually two. The one KT is looking for is the first.

I finally found it! There are two fics by Allison Bailey Laronge: Ideal Time and Going Onward. Ideal Time is the one you were looking for, KT. Neither is in Gatchfanfic and I'm not finding them anywhere on the internet.

Thanks Becky, hope it will turn up sometime in the future, I really think there is a new audience for all those older fics that might still be out there.

I was able to find "Ideal Time" here: http://www2.ouk.edu.tw/wester/gatchaman/English/writting/Bailey%20Laronge,Allison/index.htm However, it has a line-by-line translation into Chinese. But, I guess one can just ignore that part and read only the English. This site seems to be based on the previous Gatchaman Archives (the site before it moved to the current one, in 2007) with some of the fics translated. http://www2.ouk.edu.tw/wester/gatchaman/English/writting/index.htm

There are other older fics that I really liked that aren't out there anymore. Some were on the old Gatchfanfic site and I know of at least one author who asked to have his/her fics removed, for whatever reason. One of them was a series called Phoenix Rising in BotP. In it, the team was all grown from designed embryos specifically for the war and numbered 10-12 originally. Some of the children died of genetic complications as babies. Mark wasn't the original leader. The original leader was a boy named Chris and his code name was Phoenix. He and Jason were an item, although Jason was also portrayed as being afer women, too. I got the impression the series wasn't finished- it only included the first battle (not the Terapin). I believe Chris would have died in an early battle and the warship named after him, as it hadn't been built yet.

I remember that series! The author was "Imajiru." Yeah, I just searched and it doesn't seem to be out there anywhere anymore...

Gotta love the wayback machine -the series still exists! http://web.archive.org/web/20040603012003/http://imajiru.7dragons.net/fiction/botp/index.html

You are faster than me LB, I was on the hunt for that link. I thought I had it stored somewhere, but I guess after all my files had been erased I had lost it. Thank you for the new link. There are a couple of stories here that are not listed over a t the current Archives that I still enjoy reading. The Phoenix Rising story was one I had read and located at another site I believe.

Ideal Time!! That's the one!!! Thanks so much for finding it!!

Just finished reading it, what a lovely story, so sad that Jason's prophercy seemed to come true. but with these new links, there are so many more fics to read!!

That link is awesome- lots of fics over there that didn't make it over to the new archives! That was the site I was glued to when I first started into the fandom!

Thanks LB! Those are the ones I have hard-copy. I always hoped there would be more, but I guess not.
