I am so horribly bad at leaving feed back, but this fic was just amazing. I just finished reading it and I don't even know how to coherently express my obsessive love for it. The fucked up unhealthy relationship between Georgie and Skandar and how Will wants nothing more than to be a part of it not even realizing what he's getting into until it's too late. And how this Skandar has a mean manipulative streak in him and Georgie is unhealthily attached to him and everything is just perfect.
I keep trying to articulate what I loved about this and I keep failing so I'm just going to leave you with this, I've never seen the The Dreamers and it's now downloading as we speak because I have to see it. The end when Georgie and Skandar refused to let Will back in made my heart physically ache for Will even though being as far away as possible from their relationship is for the best. But perhaps, being much closer in age to Ben than the three of them, more than anything I am left wondering how exactly I would handle being thrust into a situation like the one Ben found. When he realized that his young supposed to be innocent costars were actually involved in an ménage à trois and how it should be wrong wrong wrong but the way they all looked so content left him so conflicted and he didn't know what to do and I don't know.
This fic, omg, is just so totally amazing. I'll definitely be reading it again.
Auughhh thank you so much for this, thank you for commenting despite not usually leaving feedback/thinking you're bad at it. I found it so hard to imagine what people who hadn't seen the film would think of this, and it's so reassuring to know that you enjoyed it anyway. Like, one of my biggest worries was that they wouldn't seem like themselves because I'd got so caught up in basing them on the characters in the movie, and I'm just so glad you thought it worked.
The bit with Ben was probably the most difficult, actually. I had to try and put myself in that place as well, to imagine how he would react - and I just couldn't quite see him taking charge and putting a stop to it. It was partly the fact that these are people he loves and they seem happy, and partly his unfamiliarity with being the grown-up. That was something that really interested me and I sort of wanted to get into it more, but the story was so focused on the idea of the three of them being basically blind to everything but each other that I couldn't.
