Okay first off... I've been a bit astray in terms of what my free time have been spend on... for the most part I've been reading non TSOM fic (sorry  but got caught in a Thor pandemonium after seeing the movie...  had to read some fics...) BUT BUT, my mind/musses have not let me completely forget my buttons story, want to finish it with the planned epilogue... AND most of all I want to give the swimwear story a go... the little idea have been mulling in my mind for weeks now!!!!! This last thing is what I need some ideas/input for.... I want it to be funny/humorous in one way or another... now I need some ideas for funny/awkward moments that could happen between Maria and Georg while they swim/play with the children... Ideas so far; - Georg forgetting that he is in a game with the boys when he first sees Maria in her bathing suite.......
- Somehow they get a close encounter IN the water... (not sure how... ideas please?
 ??) - when on dry land: Maria accidentally bumps into his very nude chest
 - crazy idea (don't know if it's good?): Maria almost drowns, G gives CPR (did they have that then... you know with the mouth to mouth thing!!!!??) and for a split second Maria actually kisses him back.... AWKWARD!!!!
Hope you lovely ladies have some funny things I can use in this... please give something for my musses to work with  thanks  |

sounds fun! i'll have to think a bit and get back. i like the part about playing the game and suddenly seeing maria in a bathing suit... like maybe a ball could smack him in the head because he wasn't paying attention to it coming at him.
maybe instead of almost drowning, she cuts her foot or something and he has to carry her out of the water... he's all wet and bare chested. her arms have to go around his shoulders/neck. his arms around her waist. you see where i'm going? more likely that cpr and awkward kisses. in my opinion, anyway. he can even stumble and fall on top of her.
gosh, look what you made me do.

Still in the brewing phase but what do you think of this time frame? Just the day when Maria returns... for several reasons... Georg is pretty close to finally realize what he feels for the governess and Maria have pretty much given up on her love for Georg (in my opinion she sort of resigns when she hears about Georg getting married...that is discussed in another thread ) = some tension between them.... Had an idea of making the whole thing AU by eliminating Elsa, don't think I'll be able to write her... ? ideas on this ladies? ? Will she be sitting on the terrace sipping pink lemonade with Max while her "fiance" is frolicking in the lake with the young governess... I think not... she would object to this in some way... wouldn't she? Hmmm what to do, what to do with her... ?? |

I would find it very believable that Elsa might be on the terrace while M/G are in the water with the kids. I don't like it when people make elsa out to be evil, but I can believe that she might not be a get your hair wet kind of gal. And if she were engaged, after all, she might feel perfectly secure even if her fiance is, er, frolicking in the lake with Maria (who after all is supposed to be a nun). I also wouldn't object to just whisking Elsa away, AU style.
I've been thinking about your initial inquiry, and I would like to suggest that Maria get a cramp, and that you proceed along the lines lemacd suggested. The CPR thing, for one thing, would be over very quickly. It takes a long time to rub a cramp out of one's calf, I know, because I need it done for me frequently. And you really can get in trouble if you are swimming when you have one. He could realy have to get her to a safe place and then help get rid of the cramp.
As for dry land, in my opinion, it's enough just to have them trying not to look at each other, and failing. I think I had Maria wear something very boxy and unrevealing, which is sexy in its own way.
This sounds really delicious, Mie, can't wait to read it!

oh, i think elsa's presence on the terrace would be a nice element of conflict... sure they need to beware of the children's eyes on them, but hers too? ugh, drama! elsa is definitely a 'don't like to get my hair wet' kind of girl. she'd probably be appalled that maria is swimming, too. she would object, but she can't be overly jealous either. not on the outside anyway. she's got to play it cool, i think. especially when G has to rescue M. feign concern and praise him for his level headed heroics. maybe that is just the snark in me. i think elsa can be deliciously snarky. maybe that's why i like her so much.

right! and Elsa can find some comfort in Maria's hopelessly dowdy bathng costume. You could see her looking it over and visibly relaxing.
Mie, I think you know this already, but if you look at RKF55's story where the family goes on vacation, there's a scene where he is in a swimsuit and Elsa and her friends are checking him out. And Maria is mortified. I think we already talked about this but am mentioning just in case.

I've read that story, and loved that scene.... Had to look up the word "dowdy" well must say that I originally thought of her having bought something together with the children... BUT that would have to make the timeline different, with an extra day for shopping....!!! Or could she have bought it before leaving at one point with the children... ? OR could she borrow something from Leisl.... hmmmm they are not the same size really, close... BUT with a bathing suit I would think it would be way too small (revealing!!!! ) for Maria... In terms of WHAT Maria might wear I have not thought it to be all that "dowdy" (love to learn new english words ) but something like these in this link... see slide 8.... might one of those with a skirt... not sure.... ideas? www.examiner.com/slideshow/the-history-of-swimsuits#slide=8 |

Mie - do you like the way I am expanding your vocabulary, and I don't know one single word of Danish!
Even if Maria went shopping, she'd buy something modest, which is not that different from "dowdy," So have them shop if you like, but don't feel obligated. I like the idea of her squeezing into Liesl's suit. And I think in my second story I had her use an old costume she found in the guest room.
Slide 8 looks perfect, although I think she could skip the ukelele ;-)
This is going to be so cute!

while i think maria would totally choose a modest bathing suit, if the bathing suit is a little more on the sexy side, just think of how much more tension there will be if she catches a certain someone staring.

Squeezing into LIesl's suit is looking (so to speak) better and better. Modesty intended, but not achieved.

oh, yes... that would work.
maybe elsa wants to drive georg to the point of insanity and loans one of hers to maria.
i'm kidding.
