So. I’m refraining from keyboard-slamming incoherent stuff at you. Because for some reason I’m feeling like that would cheapen it. /weirdo
See, you write this stuff and call it porn, and it’s NOT. And I don’t mean that in a disappointed, “I told you I wanted PORN” way, I just mean… the amount of meaning a person can convey through sex in fic has a cap on it, and at some point when you’re writing porn, the smut isn’t there for any other reason than to be excite the reader. And you, girlfriend… you’re incapable of writing ANYTHING that’s not meaningful. It’s pretty freaking epic.
Let me organize my worship of you, and this fic:
--Love your interpretation of this prompt. You could have just written one extended scene of them in bed together for a night (and let’s face it, I would have been satisfied and squeeing with just THAT), but you turned THAT into just a stop along the way in this story of how this relationship developed, and IS developing. And it made it so much richer and more significant. And I love the non-linearity, too.
--Your Kalinda is always, always perfect. Her one-liners are just… yes. How do you do that. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS. *shakes you*
--Building on that last point, I am continually amazed at how you demonstrate Kalinda’s feelings for Alicia so clearly, before you ever make them explicit. You know it by how aware she is of how Alicia sleeps. Of her hair, and her smile. Certainly when she breaks into that fucking pool to help her practice. By the time she THINKS about those feelings, it’s already a given.
--Let’s take a break from coherence for a full-fledged shipper girl squee: OMG KALINDA. KALIIINDA. HOLDING AND TOUCHING AND KISSING HER RATHER THAN BACKING OFF LIKE USUAL. WANTING TO DRINK, BUT NEEDING TO REMEMBER. CALLING HER HONEY. FJAOISDJDJSJAKS I COULDN’T EVEN BREATHE. GUH. SHE’S SO ACHINGLY TRANSPARENT IN THESE MOMENTS AND IT KIIIIIILLS ME. *dies forever and ever and ever*
--The sex is obviously hot and guh-worthy all that stuff while also managing to be completely organic and necessary and every good thing in the universe. Fuck. What I would give to see the exact moment when Alicia breaks.
--Adored the distinction between being in love, and having a crush, and having it be BOTH but the crush part being worse. It felt SO Kalinda.
--The ambiguous ending, oh jesus good god. If KALINDA can take a chance like this, Alicia HAS TO BE ABLE TO. That’s just… the only way it can be. And jsyk that’s how it totally ends in my head.
In conclusion: It was TOTALLY worth the wait, better than all my hopes and dreams, and I just love you and Kalicia and your fic a whole big bunch. Forever and ever amen.
YOU! adgnadkjfnadjfnda;n Basically, ILU a whole big bunch.
I am so so glad you like your (very very) belated not!porn. They just wouldn't be porny, J. They want to have feeeeeelings and shit. (Which: seriously, I am noticing this always happens with Kalinda-pov. She is so much more angsty than Alicia. *pats her*) Thank goodness she still feels relatively in character, even with the longing and the romance and the calling Alicia "honey".
Poor Kalinda. I really feel she would hate having a crush more.
(And of course, of course it all ends happily. :) Hah, look at that, I word-of-God-ed a fic.)
IN SUM: YES. *twirls you around the room* Happy porn Sunday (or, um, porn day-without-religious-connotations-day)! &hearts
