Fic(let): Not a Costume, Bandom + Rockstar RPF

[jjtaylor]

So I was teasing on twitter earlier this week that you'd never believe me if I told you what I was writing. While that comment could have applied to multiple stories, this tiny little thing is the actual story in question. It's short enough that you won't have much time to believe or disbelieve.

Wow, things I didn't realize I needed in my life, BUT DO *_____________* OMG I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH OMG *_____________________*

Thank you! I have such a crush on Gaga sometimes and I got this idea into my head of the two of them playing with gender presentation and and and...at least it didn't turn into an epic story?

this is TREMENDOUS. I can absolutely see this, and THAT is why I love our very own Mr. Way. This:

"Especially if you keep blushing like that," she says, low in his ear. He shudders and knows she feels it. "That's right, baby, you blush for me. Let's go play,"

is ridiculously hot. I love your brain. A LOT.

Thank you! I can totally picture Gerard just going with the idea and then...really getting into it. That's just how he likes to be sometimes!

I love how much tension you build in this, even when you see what the idea is, because Gerard's reaction and the last paragraph just make it so visceral. Unf.

[jjtaylor]

Thank you! Gerard's body language and presentation fascinates me all the time. And frankly, so does Gaga.

I really fucking LOVE this. I love the entire idea, and how you describe how each of them look, and how she looks at him, and just everything. And uh Gaga being REALLY TOPPY works for me a LOT. *__________*

"Oh honey," Gaga says. "No one will think you're anything but a lady tonight."

LOVE. I adore how you tell so much in so few words. This was such a great thing to get to read today, thank you.

[jjtaylor]

Thank you! And man, does Gaga being toppy work for me, too. Nnggh.

That was SO AWESOME. I love your way with words, and I love that this is something he likes to do sometimes, and how nervous he is, and how in control she is, and how Lindsey helps him get ready, and everything about this:

"Oh honey," Gaga says. "No one will think you're anything but a lady tonight."

They get a stage call, twenty seconds. Gaga steps into his space, rests her hand on the small of Gerard's back.

"Especially if you keep blushing like that," she says, low in his ear. He shudders and knows she feels it. "That's right, baby, you blush for me. Let's go play," she says as the heels of Gerard’s boots clack across the stage like the sharp snap of a ruler in the palm of a hand.

Everything about that. The dialogue, the actions, the sounds. Awesome!

♥!!!
