Movies you watch on Xmas Day

[lettered]

I used to always watch a movie on Christmas. I couldn't play with my presents because they were always books (YAY) and that was unsocial. And anyway, what are you supposed to do Christmas day, after opening presents and eating cinnamon rolls, I mean? Your whole family is there and you're supposed to be spending time together, but after you eat

I love spending time with my family, but usually I just need some time alone! But on Xmas I feel like that's verboten. We all sort of do so we all sort of stare at each other.

Glad to hear I'm not the only Little Women for Xmas fan!

Though Sound of Music is totally in my top ten, and it totally has fandom, and I totally wrote SoM fic. But I and the fen I knew did not slash the fandom (we were so hardcore Captain/Maria). But I totally always thought Max was gay. And actually the last time I saw it I think MY mind totally went there with Captain/Rolfe. That scene where he's telling Rolfe he'll never "be one of them"? *dies, a little*

You should be happy your mind isn't going Captain/Herr Zeller because obviously that is wrong. Nor did you go Captain/Friedrich, because you know Friedrich is in love with his governess. My friend did an excellent AU fic where there's another guy interested in Maria, and sparks totally fly between the Captain and Other Guy, but it is definitely straight up het.

OMG DO NOT GET ME TALKING ABOUT SOUND OF MUSIC!!!

I wrote this comment around the middle of the movie and when the scene you mention came about my mind went there with warp speed. That scene is, so, so... charged and when you look at it through slash tinted goggles it's powerful as hell. It gave me a shiver down my spine.

I'm a big fan of the movie (and books in a bit lesser degree, and soundtrack, and Salzburg), but I still don't think there is any need for slash injection, as the main pairing has the steam of any m/m one - Captain and Maria are complete equals in my mind, character and personality strength wise. And both are so individually likable, which really doesn't ask for seeking elsewhere.

Hehe see, if there was SoM slash side of the fandom big enough I'm sure some Captain/Herr Zeller BDSM would crop up. Not to mention that incest and chan section of it would have a field day with all the possibilities.

Oh, do you have a link for that fic or maybe one of your own SoM ones? I've never read anything from that fandom, I'd love to have have a taste of it when I catch a breather from hd_hols.
