Every time I watch War and Peace (whether it is the 1956 version with Audrey Hepburn or the new TV-mini series) I can't help but long for some nice fan fiction with alternate ending for Andrei and Natasha. I like Pierre alright but he just doesn't have it in him and Andrei needs to be written as someone more than killing machine/alpha male/turned Christian.
2007 version: Alessio Boni was very good as Andrei. A bit like Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice, and you know what I mean by that;-) He was the best when he went into the "romantic hero" mode, I really couldn't stop falling for him - but then he would start going on and on about the war and serving one's country. Oh well. And then about the art of forgiveness which was wonderful when applied to Natasha, but a bit worse when he started about the whole mankind. But that's Tolstoy for you;-)
Just a major irk. But I guess War and Peace isn't popular enough to have an English-speaking fandom... *sigh*
Alright, alright, coming back to the male/male stuff;-)
BTW - has anyone else besides me simply adored Septimus in Stardust? For many reasons, not the least of them being his resemblance to the one and only SS:) And his morbidness! Ah. The film is really worth watching, by the way - I can't say how serious it was intended to be but I had so much fun watching it (OMG, Robert DeNiro as bent Captain Shakespeare! And Jason Flemyng! Dexter Fletcher!) yesterday. I was like *you've got to be kidding me* all the time. And interior design was very much like Harry Potter, don't you think?
ETA: Oh my GOD. Oh my FUCKING God. I found an Andrei/Pierre War and Peace slash fic on ff.net. This is sooo wrong.
Still no Andrei/Natasha anywhere, though.
