Casablanca - Louis/Rick

[casablancagirl]

There is a common misconception that the film Casablanca is a love story between Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman). Forget it. Behind the cut you will discover evidence to the contrary...

Annina: Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault?
Rick: Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.

Captain Renault: [to Rick regarding Ilsa] She was asking about you earlier in a way that made me very jealous...

'nuff said.

YES. How could I have forgotten those lines???

[casablancagirl]

Yup. I'm not entirely sure how anyone can watch it and *not* notice the slash ;).

Oy! You stole my movie XD I was planning to do this but eh, you beat me. And that's alright you did beautifully.

Great job, I just wish there was more slash out there of them. Or at least better written slash than what I've seen. >> *but I am amazingly picky so my POV is not always accurate*

Have you read this one?

It's probably the best fanfic of any kind I've ever read.

Now I really, really want to see this movie. I can't believe I haven't...I must remedy this immediately.

Yes!!

So glad you wrote this! I was even thinking of posting something to ship_manifesto myself. For me, they might be more of an OTF than an OTP, because I love their friendship dynamic. But the mutual respect and admiration between them is evident and lends itself soooo well to slash. It's canon to me that Louis was into Rick, at least.

There are 2 or 3 great fanfics out there, too. Yay for the Louis/Rick!
