oh you can do it for me, yes / shine out, shine out

I feel like it's a good time for me to do that meme where you post snippets from unfinished fic that you have lying around. I have eleven, some are ones I'm currently working on, and some are completely stalled and/or ancient and I feel like they may as well be shared

Well... if I'm completely honest with you, it's the older!Georgie/Ben aspect that I really liked. I mean, I know it was a peek at an orgy fic (which is definitely interesting, by the way), but the connection in that excerpt was really palpable between those two. The orgy aspect just wasn't on my mind, maybe because I was reading it out of the context of the entire fic and most of the interaction was between the two of them. Despite some of the direct references to the group situation, you could also read that snippet from the perspective of nothing having happened yet sexually. Out if the context of it being about the whole group, I found myself reading it as Ben being confused specifically regarding her, like for instance, he wanted her to be jealous that he has a family, or that he was checking the bedroom for signs that anyone had been in it, but it was needless because it was just his secret feelings for Georgie making him paranoid that his wife would want to know why she'd been in their room, even though Will being there too should neutralise that scenario.
Lol, I just willfully and knowingly misinterpreted your whole fic snippet - hope you don't mind!

It's weird, I wrote that long before shipping the two of them, and even now the idea of older!Georgie/Ben doesn't particularly interest me (like, that much older, anyway) but there is something about that particular scene that I like. I kind of like your misinterpretation, too! Now that I DO actually ship them, it's interesting to think about them in that context - Ben being married but pining after Georgie, and Georgie being friends with his wife and playing with his kids and stuff. *ponders* I think what holds me back from continuing the fic as a whole is that there's SO MUCH going on in it, because everyone is leading their separate future lives and it's a little overwhelming. But we'll see.

You could always use that scene in a new older!Georgie/Ben fic... You can have that idea for free... *innocent smile*

By the way, did you see series 5 Skins? They've officially lost the plot. But apparently Nicholas Hoult and Kaya are confirmed for the movie, so hurray if that's true!

I decided not to watch it. Like, I don't really feel any desire to anyway, and at the end of season 4 I sort of gave up on the show in general, you know? I'm not sure what to think about the movie, everything surrounding it has been so vague, and like...I'm sort of afraid to trust what they would do with it anyway. I would love to see Tony and Effy back together, though, of course.

I hadn't planned to watch it either, but it happened to be on when I was watching tv and curiosity got the better of me. I didn't even feel like I was watching Skins. Just dreadful. I won't be watching any more episodes. The movie... yeah, it could be really dreadful, especially considering the way the series has gone. I would only be interested in it if Tony and Effy are in it. If it turns out they're not, Skins is officially dead.

...GOOD POINT. *thinks*

Ooh, yes, keep doing that - keep thinking!
