A/N: Like cee said when she posted hers, I think I did this wrong.

( There's a knife on the floor of his kitchen, water-spotted, the point facing due East. )

YES PLEASE.

(also, i didn't ditch you. technical difficulties. ack.)

this is so good and so bean.

*marries it a little*

(I didn't ditch you either; the boyfriend hijacked the computer for far longer than he said he would)

I told you Bean was upset that I'd been neglecting him, so he was actually -- at least in comparison to your dear husband -- fairly cooperative with me. I think I kind of like how this turned out.

i think i like it LOTS.

my mother is from ireland, and she says when a knife falls on the floor it means a man is coming to call.

(a spoon is a woman. but the superstition came before forks, which is why there is no corresponding visitor for forks.)

anyway.

it means a man is coming to call.

*shoves husband toward door*

man does NOT take direction well at ALL.

I found that bit about the knife meaning a man coming to call while I was researching, and I was going to try to work that in, too, but it felt like overkill when I tried it.

But by all means, continue to shove the husband towards the door.

okay you broke my heart with the knife one.

and you killed me with the last line of the last one. mmmm. so good. i wish i was more coherent. but it is 2 in the morning...heh.

*smooches* fabulous.

ink_stain April 3 2004, 05:38:12 UTC

*smooch*

No coherency necessary, chica. I read ya loud 'n clear.

clumsygyrl April 3 2004, 11:27:08 UTC

As long as someone understands my babble, I am content. heh. *snuggles*

at one, his family, home, a certain safety. And at the other, Viggo, who insists on meeting him at the airport every time he flies in, who is all and none of those things.
Loved this. All the five things, really, the way they all tie together (the knife, the makeup... the scar! *happy* ;) but the ending is especially gorgeous. *adores* :D

ink_stain April 3 2004, 05:40:23 UTC

My fascination with that scar will be the death of me, I swear.

or the one time he'd gone alone and ended up pressed between a wall and a boy with Aladdin Sane's face, whose mouth tasted of lipstick and copper.

You kill me. KILL ME. oh, the pretty.

If you don't play with that bit a little more, I shall pout.

ink_stain April 3 2004, 12:59:58 UTC

You know that bit was just for you, luv.

I'll ask Bean nicely and maybe he'll let me play with it a little more, but he's prone to fits of not-talking-to-me-ness, so I make no promises.

Wow. I really liked that. Especially the knife thing. Very poetic and haunting.

ink_stain April 3 2004, 14:05:23 UTC

Thank you. The section with the knife was actually the biggest pain in the ass to write, because I couldn't decide how it should end, but I'm pleased with what I chose.

mybestexcuse April 3 2004, 14:05:57 UTC

I like it. I love the icon too.

ink_stain April 3 2004, 20:14:07 UTC

Thanks!
