HI. I ended up on this one again SOMEHOW. Searching my own name on LJ? Me? Nonsense! And just. STILL SO AMAZING. FFFFFFFF. JUST.

And I noticed new things. Like what happens when Dawson lets some nasty comment about good riddance to Ratigan slip?

Or what if Basil had died, and Ratigan had gained the empire but had no Dawson there to help him through?

Or what happens the day Dawson finally has to accept that Ratigan's role in Basil's life wasn't as simple as he's trying so hard to pretend it was?

What if Dawson is trying to be gentle and loving, like he thinks he should be, in bed, and all Basil can think about is how much better it was when Ratigan was alive, because even though he hated it, he secretly relished the scars and the pain and the pleasure, and Ratigan took responsibility away from him, and meanwhile poor Dawson is trying to be a considerate lover and it isn't working out?

What if Basil ignores Dawson and starts taking the portrait of Ratigan to bed with him and going on dates with it and drinking tea with it? What if Basil and the portrait devour the crumpets and the jam, and Dawson is left hungry? What if Basil and the portrait have pillow fights and braid each other's fur (Basil using a marker, of course), and Dawson is left out in the hall to weep quietly to himself?

MY FIC WITHSTANDS THE TEST OF TIME. SUCCESS. T____T

Seriously, though, thanks for the re-read. ^_^

Love your suggestions, but there's only one problem: I don't ship Dawson/Basil. Like, at all. I can't. Now, I ship Holmes/Watson like crazy, so that's not the problem. The problem is just that Dawson himself is so, so straight. I might be able to do a little one-sided Basil/Dawson, but the good doctor will always be a very oblivious zero on the Kinsey scale. :/

BUT YOUR LAST PARAGRAPH MADE ME SHRIEK WITH LAUGHTER. GOOD JOB. XDDD

Also, weren't you going to write a GMD fic? DIDN'T YOU TEASE ME WITH IT, YOU WICKED THING

STILL WORKS FOR RE-READING. FEELS ARE STILL FELT. BASIL/PICTURE OF RATIGAN IS STILL SOLID AS AN OTP.

STILL WANT MORE.

But no seriously, I totally was writing GMD fic and I have no idea what the hell happened to it or what it was even about or anything. Like it isn't in any of my fic folders or anything and I have no memories beyond obviously Basil/Ratigan was involved, and knowing me there was some UST, and probably something darkish? But that just means that it was a fic by me that wasn't inspired by sugar.

And now I'm getting wild thoughts like WELL IF IT'S AN ANNE FIC, OBVIOUSLY TONY STARK SHOWED UP WITH DADDY ISSUES and now I'm considering how that would work out and I'm concerned because I COULD TOTALLY JUSTIFY THAT TO MYSELF.
