coming up: the last of my eurotrip, and why space cakes are a Very Bad Idea

but first, a meme!

Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first ( Read more... )

it's only 21 words over 500, so you're good! :D i apologise for getting all word vomit-ty on you lol.

soooo this is sort of my homage to pinocchio, hahaha. i hate that movie SO MUCH but the theme of it has stuck with me, so the basic idea when i started, apart from making sure this lived up to the original story, was the idea of david just wanting to be a real boy. ANYWAY. on with the commentary!

And it shouldn't be -- you never meant for it to go this far. "David--"

"No," he says. "Tell me. I'm not what? Not good enough? Real enough? Him enough?"

When you falter, it's all the answer he needs.

"Dang it," he says, and you clench your jaw. "Sorry, I don't -- oh my gosh, this is awkward."

i really enjoy this bit of dialogue, haha, and this bit of the fic is the bit that pretty much wrote itself. i didn't have to think too much about it; david is hurt and lashing out and pushing for a reaction he knows he doesn't want, but it's what he figures he has coming, after doing something as stupid as developing feelings for someone ( ... )

You kiss him. You wrap your hands in his hair and his shirt and crush your mouths together, pull him against you so tightly you can feel his heart thundering against your own chest, can feel the way he shudders against you, can feel the tight coil of tension in his shoulders even as he leans in, and--

You shouldn't, you know you shouldn't, there's only one way for this to end, but that's Archie's face and Archie's palm and Archie's mouth, open and wet and hot as sin, and you can't say no to that.

He makes a sound you've never heard before, low in his throat, almost pained, and jerks away. He turns from you, puts more space between you, the bed, silence, and you're both breathing too hard to speak for a moment.

ah, fuck, this still hurts me a little to read. i love angsty kissing, especially when there's a push and pull element to it, like someone knows they need to hold back because it's not healthy to be doing this but they just can't help themselves, and here, when both of them are aware of that, aware that this needs to be over ( ... )
