TT Book Discovery and a Mark Mini Pic Spam

Oct 17, 2011 23:35

A few weeks ago, I finally broke down and got a used copy of Take That In Private on the Amazon UK marketplace. I've had it for a few weeks, but I only just noticed today that it came with a bit of a bonus tucked into the back cover:

I can't believe it took me two weeks to notice that single squashed in there. *g*

The writer is a gem.

I mean it's like she understood us (read: me).

And me! I seriously suspect she's a closet slasher. *g* And yes, Mark being all maternal where Rob and Gaz are concerned is pretty adorable. It all confirms my opinion that he's more competent/self-sufficient than he often appears in fic. (I'm working on a tough/protective Mark story, so I would say that.)

God, I love that pic of Mark & Howard. I intend to feature it prominently in an upcoming pic spam.

And wow, he's much skinnier in these pics. I somehow have never noticed how skinny he is in that pic where they're putting the Relight outfits on. I think I've always been distracted by Howard's bum. ;-)

Have I mentioned I have a fetish for arms? *g*

How *awesome* is that book? All the semi-naked cuddling, stroking and gay banter (ahem) *g* And of course, even more awesome with a Babe single included! Lucky you! *g*

Mark induces such a strong cuddle!reflex in me, it's insane (although, to be fair, he evidently has this effect on all of Take That so I'm not that odd) - lovely pics! *g*

The book is seriously awesome.

All the semi-naked cuddling, stroking and gay banter (ahem) *g*

Yes! Absolutely! You pretty much don't need fanfic to get very, very slashy with these boys, god bless 'em.

I think Mark induces a strong cuddle!reflex in anyone with a pulse. *g*

Aaaawwww! The others were worried about Mark being too thin. Can't blame them though, thinking about the hectic shedule they must have had... I think I've seen some articles where the boys were worried that Mark was not eating properly. And looking at pics and vids from the 90's, it does look like there is nothing more than skin and bones and a bit of muscle here and there to him. Also, during the big brother/In your own time era he does look scarily skinny...

There are definite reasons why Mark ends up on the receiving end of the "h" in so much h/c fic. He does the vulnerable waif look rather well. And yes, in the big brother era especially he looks very definitely in need of fattening up. He looks much more healthy and happy these days (though he can still do the vulnerable waif. *g*)

Oh, he does the vulnerable waif look perfectly. There is that very intriguing combination of fragility and stubborness about him. And his physical appearance doesn't hurt that image either ;)

He does seem much healthier these days. Although, I'm not always so sure of the mental well being and happiness. But he must be slowly getting there :)

Fragility and stubbornness about sums him up, which is probably why I love him so much. You'd expect him to be the one most likely to crack (and he obviously did a bit last year) but mostly he's always gamely soldiered on.

I do hope he's happier, but you're right that it's not necessarily a foregone conclusion. (That Time Out interview continues to haunt me.)
