Oh Jesus... And I mean that in a very *very* good way.

Wow. That was so vicerally tactile. I am very well deaded.

Thank you! I do love killing off my readers. *grins*

God!! I love this...generally I don't like Viggo and Sean being with a woman. But this was so hot and 'masculine'.

[telesilla]

I don't mind the occasional het getting into my slash, but I always worry a little when I post it because I know a lot of hard core slashers who really don't like it. I'm really glad you gave this a shot and liked it.

[helena_s_renn]

brilliant. thank you for writing some slash/het, and such an appropriate three-some that. it didn't loose the s/v vibe at all, visitor or no. 2nd person worked well for this short piece.

Thank you! One of the things I work at when bringing an unusual third party (as opposed to Liv or Orli, for example), particularly a female one, into a slash pairing, is both maintaining the pairing as the focus of the story and doing my best to maintain a queer vibe to the whole thing. I'm glad it worked here and that you liked it.

[helena_s_renn]

*blushes* to date, the only female i've managed to actually get between s/v is liv. not for lack of trying, believe me, but i just can't do it! your suggestion about 'keeping the queer vibe' might be extremely helpful, so thanks for that.

[telesilla]

Glad I could help! I think there are a several problems involved in bringing female characters into a slash pairing. First of all, you lose readers; people are often very vehement about not wanting girl cooties in their slash. And then you get the fact that, once you bring a woman into it, you open yourself up to accusations that you're using whoever the woman is as a Mary Sue, which isn't always true, but a lot of fans see it that way. And finally, there's a certain distance we as women can manage when we're writing about men. While some of our experiences do come into play, it's easier to be more objective about a story if we can stand outside it.

I personally like het; the very first story I posted 11 years ago when I first got online was a het story and I've been writing them ever since. But then I write femmeslash as well, so I'm pretty broad in my fandom tastes.

You are amazing - original, fearless, and simply a brillant writer.
There are some examples in literature where a secret homosexual appeal between the male characters is expressed by their having sex with the same women. I had to think of that when I noticed they both played the husbands of Maria... therefore this was even more interesting to me.

[telesilla]

Wow, thank you! I'm fond of the whole triangulation trope, where the two men are with a women because it's more acceptable for them to be with her than alone together. While I wasn't doing that here, like I said to Helena above, I was going my best to keep the story queer and it seemed to have worked.

And yeah, when I saw that Maria was playing opposite both the guys, I really wanted to do something about it. While I normally don't go for blondes, she's a very lovely woman and the idea of her going at Bean with a strap on was impossible to resist.

First I'm rather not fond of writing involving pain to sex, but I always like your style, and Sean and Viggo together. I must read it, and ...you are very good writer, they I great together, even in that kinky way, and Sean is bottoming! Wow

[telesilla]

Thank you! I'm glad you gave it a chance and liked it. :)
