My first post here! Anyway, I got into Toy Soldiers after becoming addicted to irisbleu's Good Omens fic (and gee, that sounds only a little stalker-ish) and then reading her TS Series. I kinda figured I'd better watch the movie, and after a casual couple of months looking for the film, I watched it last week. My reaction was Holy Shit then I read Book of

...hey, this is a really nice character study, and it's also hot for all its PG rating ;) Very good work.

Billy had no concept of personal space and was always right there, next to Joey, bumping into Joey, casually touching Joey. Billy had presence and charisma and filled every room he entered, and Joey couldn’t look away.

That's so true about Billy, but it's even truer that his personal space automatically includes Joey, and probably did, disarmingly so, from very early on. I think one of the film's biggest beauties is that we're clearly seeing a relationship that has time behind it - maybe not years, but a year, months upon months.

Thank you for posting!

LJ just ate my comment.

Anyway, thankyou for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it. I was worried about OOCness because I have big problems with male voices usually.

See, I have this idea that before Billy, Joey was untouchable. He was just one of those people who other people don't go near, and then Billy shows up, and doesn't avoid Joey, and acts as if his personal bubble doesn't exist, and Joey doesn't know how to cope. (At least at first.)

Oh, like we're gonna object when it's fic like this. :) They're so old-married-couple in the film that it's always fun to speculate about how that came to be, and read other people's speculations. Welcome to the fandom, and I hope you stick around and write more!

Couple British-isms snuck by you, just to let you know -- 'singlet' and 'arse'. And in the next-to-last paragraph, your word-processor ate a space or an em-dash. Stupid word-processors.

Thankyou! As an Aussie trying to write like an American, what should I have used instead of 'singlet' and 'arse'?

And my computer didn't eat the space, that's me being weird in my style *eep* perhaps less than effectively

Glad you liked it.

'Singlet' to you is t-shirt or tank top to us. And arse = ass (or butt if you're being more prim about it.) :)
