ahahaha, am i writing 3 am meta? kill me.
I went to bed at 9.30, and then woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. >:(
In the umpteenth part in the series "Pearl-o Recs Everything Impertinence Ever Writes", I feel I should mention here how much I loved Collective. This should surprise no one, really: it's Imp, and it's MCR GSF (Gerard's birthday gangbang! ♥) ending in cuddles for everyone; I've been shipping Ray/Gerard more and more with every passing day, and the way she has them here makes me go starry eyed; and there's really meaty, interesting stuff with the Mikey/Gerard, too.
The way she handles the Waycest may actually be my favorite part here. I'll read just about anything for this pairing, as is probably fairly obvious, but I actually have pretty strong preferences in certain ways. The thing about the two of them is it's one of the few pairings I love where the fucking is actually the least interesting part. (I know for some of you this is true for all your pairings, but I am not usually that girl!) There are lots of stories where I want to roll around in the set-up, and the porn, while hot, is much less satisfying.
It's not even about the UST, though, exactly. The best part of Mikey/Gerard for me is that sense of this grey area, this in between space between what brothers should be and what they are and what they shouldn't/can't be. When it's done well it's a lot more complex than "hey, I want to do my brother", I think; the sexual component is just one more element of an already pretty epic connection between them. (And actually, I think that's true whether or not either of them is even aware of the sexual link between them.)
So, yeah. If you look at my biggest Waycest buttons, they pretty much all fall into that deep muddy part, where they still have these boundaries they won't cross, whatever those might be. Watching each other fuck someone else, or fucking the same person, without fucking each other; hearing each other jerk off, or having wet dreams; watching porn, jerkung off together, telling each other everything about their sex lives; being mistaken as a couple by others; cuddling and kissing and sleeping in the same bed and doing everything but doing it and never even acknowledging it might be weird; doing everything but doing it and knowing it's weird, but doing it anyway, because it's still okay, just as long as they have that line.
So, yeah, the way they're portrayed in Imp's GSF makes me really happy, and it's a really good example of how setting up those lines to begin with can make the eventual resolution that much hotter and more meaningful. Yum.
Anyway! On the topic of things that won't add to my growing reputation as "That Chick What Likes Incest," I keep going back and looking at the pictures from my Bert/Gerard entry, and you guys, this picture never gets any less funny to me. I can't help making up ridiculous scenarios in my mind every time. Just look at Gee! Between the coat, the glasses, the expression and hand motions, that is possibly the most bitchy demanding diva I have ever seen him. He is totally chewing somebody out out-of-frame. Meanwhile, his boyfriend is all "Calm down, baby" and worried and pretty confused. It's not fun when Gerard isn't happy. And Jepha is just thinking "Christ, not again."
(Please note I don't actually think Gerard is a crazy diva bitch. Actually, the one thing about Gerard/Bert that gets me really upset is that I can't stop reading people's opinions on how the break-up is either totally Bert's fault because he's a drunken addict that Gerard was too good for, or totally Gerard's fault because he was an evil asshole who broke Bert's heart. They both make me want to hit things. :( They're both fucked-up people, they both obviously loved each other, they both kind of acted like assholes afterward, etc. Bad guy/victim castings make me sad.)
I need a Bert/Gerard icon. Hm.
