So glad I friended you, or else I would have missed this! Gaaaah, so hot! I agree, this needed to be written! My only criticism is that it was too short. :( But incredibly hot. I always admire people who can put so much hotness and angst and beauty in just a few paragraphs (because I'm a horrible rambler when I write ;)). Thanks so much, you made at least one person very happy with this. :)
(I don't think anyone would mind if you advertised this in the Basterds comms, there are enough August fans hanging around there. Would be a pity if this went unnoticed.)

Well, I'm glad you're around to read it. :)

The reason it's so short is because I didn't want to mess around with the canon too much. If I wrote anymore, Günther would've realised that Paul was meant for him, and my inner masochist likes the ending too much to do that. ;p And I'm happy that, in spite of the brevity, it still made you happy.

sevenwindows suggested that I should post it over at iheartcinemaah, so I think I'll x-post over there in the not-too-distant future. I still wish that this movie had an actual fandom though. Not necessarily to have more people read this, but just so that there is more Paul/Günther out there, because I need it quite badly.

Thanks for reading.

The ending is beautiful, yes ... but still, I wouldn't mind an AU in which they realise that they're meant for each other. ;)

Mhm, you could also ask if you can post it on operation_kino - the comm is all in favour of RPF, so I don't think they'd mind fics about other movies our dearest actors were in. I don't know, I'm not the mod, it's just an idea. ;)
I know what you mean. :( There are so many movies that desperately need a fandom. I'm currently watching an amazing Russian TV movie that's so full of slash it makes me dizzy, but the few fanfics that exist are in Russian, and since I only just started learning Russian I can't read them. :(

Thanks for writing. :)

I'm half-tempted to write something set prior to the events of the movie, centred around how they became "friends" or something, and possibly go in an AU direction from there. I'm sure an AU set within the movie could work, but, like Paul said, Günther was already gone before they had even left school for the summer house.

I might PM wickedground, and ask her about it. And hey, if it's exposed to more people, maybe more people will be inspired to watch it or something.

Also, you're learning Russian? That's awesome :)

[acidpenguin46]

They are the epitome of the sort of fucked-up, angsty, yet oddly sweet pairings I always find myself shipping (which is why there needs to be a fandom for this movie, damn it. *wants more fucked-up goodness*)

And cool, I'll definitely x-post it over there. :)

I approve of your "YOU WROTE LOVE IN THOUGHTS FIC" face.

[...] and suddenly Paul’s body is against his, Paul’s hands are gripping his hips, Paul’s voice is murmuring damaged words against his lips. Paul, who is in love with Hilde. Hilde, who is fucking Hans.

This was f-ing awesome. I'm awestruck. It's like.. the first Love in Thoughs fic I've ever read and I'm smitten. Can I friend you? Say yes, pretty please! I still can't believe there's fanfiction out there.. need to stalk people to find it.

It was a wonderful piece, thanks for sharing :)

*blushes* Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like it so much. :D And feel free to add me, I'll add you back! (The more LiT friends on my f'list, the better.)

I should really look to see if there is more fanfic out there, because Günther and Paul are meant to be. *is a sap*

Thank you for reading :)

[gabo0]

I friended you :D!

Paul and Gunther are my OTP, definitely. Guess that's why I kinda hated Hilde. Anyway, I'll tell you if I ever find more fics out there. Do the same if you do!

[acidpenguin46]

I don't know how I feel about Hilde. I definitely could describe my feelings towards her as hate during the horoscope machine scene, but, on the other hand, she did love Hans and she was scared of feeling that strongly for someone, which I can sort of relate to.

And I'll definitely inform you if I come across any LiT fics!
