"and I need you to need me, it is no surprise"

[caramelsilver]

Yesterday I went and saw the Norwegian production of Next to Normal. Norway is the first country to do it outside of the US. Wow. Just bloody wow. It was a brilliant play. It was so powerful and it moved me utterly. I don't think I've ever left a theatre feeling like this before. I was crying before the first act was done. I think I have to see it

i don't need a pretty from you, dearest, but i will say that i'm kind of intrigued by this new play you're mentioning. haven't heard of it before, but i'm sure gonna go look it up now! :)

[caramelsilver]

And I just realised that I typo'd it and the musical is actually called Next to Normal. Youtube has all the songs, and it's awesome=D=D

[han_corrupted]

LOL i wondered why nothing was coming up! LOL makes sense now! :)

[lauren_titmus]

This sounds interesting! Something Narnia or Doctor Who related would be nice. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be brilliant! No pressure :P

Narnia, pg, Edmund and Susan: Strong

[caramelsilver]

Unlike the others, Edmund knew very well that Susan was not speaking the truth. He had spent half his life training himself to spot liars, and Susan had always been easy to read anyway

I said it'd be brilliant and it was! I always thought that Susan's denying was a defence mechanism, I like seeing Edmund knowing that, it sort of reminds me of Ruth Stewart's Spare Oom & Narnia where you have Edmund & Susan as the Concert of Minds plus they deal with Rat & Crow together so they know each other better than certainly Lucy does, even with her intuition, not so sure about Peter....

H'anyway, don't suppose you feel like expanding it do you? :P

It's brilliant, I love it, thank you!

[wingedflight21]

Yay! Hm. Uh, something Narnia, please! Or maybe Charn?

Narnia, pg, Edmund: Smoke

[caramelsilver]

He wasn't sure how it came about, some boy in some alley, a loaded question with an outstretched cigarette, "are you in or out". Edmund flashed back to a time where he could smoke whatever he wanted and he accepted before he could evaluate it further

Re: Narnia, pg, Edmund: Smoke

[wingedflight21]

It was morbidly ironic that the habit that helped him deal with his issues, had him standing outside in the bloody thing.

Wow. Excellent! Never really thought of Ed doing this before, but it really does fit.

[redsilverchains]

I've been meaning to check that musical out!

Something with Jesse? Because we both miss him!

[caramelsilver]

I really recommend that you do. It's really good, and without spoiling you, it deals with some difficult themes in a very good way.

Sure thing. Lets see what I can come up with;)

Glee, g, Rachel(/Jesse): Not a coward

[caramelsilver]

**
She had certainly not meant for it to happen. Hadn't she somnolently sworn to herself that she would never think of him again, to banish him completely from her mind?

But her thoughts was stealthy, they crept up on her when she had no defences up, and before she knew it she was comparing everything Finn did to the boy who she was not thinking about any more.

When Finn sang, Rachel thought faintly that he would've hit that note without effort. When Finn kissed her, she privately thought that unlike the other boy, Finn used a little too much tongue. And most importantly when she told Finn about her fears, and he didn't understand why she felt that way, her mind screamed at her that Jesse would have understood her completely, maybe even agreed with her

Re: Glee, g, Rachel(/Jesse): Not a coward

[redsilverchains]

No worries with him not being there! He's the kind of character who has ~presence in his absence, and you did great with that. I love thinking that he's invading Rachel's headspace!

Also?

He hadn't only been her boyfriend, but also someone like minded who understood her, and shared her interest. She missed that maybe more than the boyfriend part. Never before had she had anyone to share those things with. Rachel Berry missed her friend.
Yesyesyes! She and Jesse are friends. I mean, Finn and Rachel are friends too but not the romantic-chemistry best friends kind, you know? Which Rachel and Jesse ARE, and they have this understanding that no other guy with Rachel could ever touch.

Thank you!

Can I have something with/about Jesse and Rachel? Pretty please?

Next to Normal sounds really good, just from your reaction. I love musicals and I'd love to see one again. I'll definitely keep it in mind, altough I fear it won't be coming to Germany anytime soon.

[caramelsilver]

It's a really good musical. Without spoiling you, it deals with some heavy themes in a very good way.

Sure! Let's see what I can do;)

Glee, pg, Jesse/Rachel: Friends

[caramelsilver]

When Jesse had first stepped into the same audition as her, she had given him the cold shoulder, and prayed that he would not stick around long. She had never doubted her own success, and in hindsight, she should never had doubted his either. Jesse was even better now than he had been when they were teenagers. The years in LA had done him good, humbled him a bit and taught him that there were other people out there just as good as him. That's what he told her, at least, later

Re: Glee, pg, Jesse/Rachel: Friends

[ayascythe]

Ooooh, this (and the one above) was lovely! Thank you so much. :D

He became her best friend, someone who knew her shit and liked her anyway. He handled her drama-queen moments with ease, just like she handled his. When an audition went badly he'd turn up on her doorstep with Mamma Mia! and a six pack of beer.

You basically nailed why I love the St. Berry dynamic so much. They just fit and work together in a way that no other Rachel-pairing does. It's like they're made for each other. <3
