kirsch (a short fic)

[anne_jumps]

I initially wrote this last night just on a light whim, recalling the story in Parachute Infantry about the bottle of kirsch, but today I've been obsessed with this song and it's lent this a darker cast (even if the song is about Judas and Jesus and even if it doesn't totally fit....)

You lead me on with those innocent eyes

Oh! Oh! Oh! And I'm not even a Webgott fan. But this is SPECTACULAR!

And it's so damn good to see you posting at c_t, too. I've missed you. *squeezes*

[anne_jumps]

OMG how can you not be a Webgott fan? ;) Don't answer that, I won't hear it! :O
j/k. But they are my OTP. I just love them. I especially love them being dropped into AUs but that's neither here nor there. /ramble

Thanks!! I've got something else I might post this week....

[profcricket]

It's not that I dislike Webgott, I just am barely able to pay attention in the face of Winnix and Speirs/Lipton and of course the classic pair, Mellet/Herron. (OK, j/k on the last one...)

Please do keep posting to c_t! The old place ain't the same without you. And good LORD, keep rambling. :D

[anne_jumps]

Yeah... when it comes to BoB, there are a TON of pairings out there. My word.

Okay :D Speaking of rambling, I swear I remember reading a Webgott ship manifesto years ago. Where do you think I might find such a thing? Also, does c_t take prompt posts along the lines of "I want someone to write _________"? Usually when I see prompt posts they're asking for prompts. I'm not sure if I'm making sense, I've been all over the map today.

[profcricket]

Yeah, there are indeed a ton. Heck, I recently had to ask for a new pairing tag

[anne_jumps]

You make a good point about the specific writers. I already have a few favorites.

Oh God I canNOT get started on reading (or re-reading, as the case may be) those links because I've got to go to bed! OMG the croakvegas picspam is so epic and hilarious. ...OH GOD OKAY I'll just look at that one again and then go to bed.

You're so nerdy with the links here, I love it.

[profcricket]

I am a MASSIVE nerd! :D :D :D

wasn't i supposed to have gone to bed?

[anne_jumps]

LOL I read the croakvegas Webgott and was laughing so hard I almost started drooling. IDEK

And Liebgott and Webster are so problematic - if you get a writer who doesn't like one or the other, or who concentrates on only one aspect (say, the fighting), you may not have a satisfactory experience, if that's not what you're looking for.

Yeah, exactly.

I know that HJ Bender (who is a wonderful writer) did a great fic about Webster's death and the afterlife (I can find the link if you want), and the closest I've come is a post-war fic called "Channels of Information" - but the highlight is on Liebgott trying to find out what's happened to a missing Webster.

I am super-curious now; might as well link me ;D I did go and take a look at HJ Bender's fanfic archive but didn't really see that. IDK, I'm tired.

Edited to add: Actually, I think raquel_el_pillo does some Webgott, and if she does, you are in for a SERIOUS treat.Oooh excellent. I glanced at her tag and I've got to check her stuff out when I have time to devote to it

So much for bedtime!

[profcricket]

Well, as long as I'm torturing you with links, here's the Rec Week that skew's been running every six months or so. You'll have to go through it entry by entry, but you'll find plenty of Webgott. http://camp-toccoa.livejournal.com/tag/!recommendations%20week... )

I'm getting ready for work so this will be a cursory reply.

Yeah, I've friended teaspoonery but asemic doesn't seem to be around much. Too bad!

OH andrealyn!!! I love her Webgott, it's so sweet. Is that the right word? Lol. But I love her. Can't believe I forgot to mention her. But she's on the list in terms of how I like to see them.

OMG Remus/Sirius abuse!? What a disservice to the characters. And now I'm seeing parallels between Webgott and Remus/Sirius x_x

[profcricket]

Tea is sweet (no pun intended); I think you'll get along nicely with her! She's been feeling down lately, and I think a commission request might perk her up immensely

[anne_jumps]

I'm getting along well with teaspoonery as we speak ;)

Andrealyn is usually really busy with traveling for work but I know she's got a big Webgott AU work going on.

Thanks for welcoming me back :D
