Is not a strike of lightning, is the crashing of a wave (a Pete/Carl fic)

[alicedawkins]

When they had thought about it (obsessed about it, yearned for it, ached for it ) they never dreamed it would be like this. Their dreams were of tasting copper and salt, breathing from each other's lungs, too entranced ( afraid, afraid, afraid )to come apart, the air around them a mine field of unspoken ( shouted, hissed, sighed in barely audible

*swoons all over your fic*

You Sir, are the queen of brackets. (because they would always belong to each other, because they had always belonged to each other, because they would always belong to each other ) was my favourite. So very true (I hope...)

Anyway, hope to see many more contributions from your very good self in the future, because this is love.

Oh, I read your comment yesterday five minutes before I left work and it made me so happy! Loved the ''You Sir, are the queen''...lol. Well, I see you added me as a friend, so I feel entitled to send you a rambling rant via personal message. Check your inbox. =]

[manics_and_me]

Ooh, how exciting. Will do :)

[heartsunshine12]

i really liked this! the style is lovely and adds a lot to the story, hope to see more from you! x

[alicedawkins]

Well, I do have an idea for another fic, but I'm kinda stuck. It's a sadder story, and I need to be in a good place emotionally to write it because, physical love or not, they do love each other very much and they did went trough a lot of heartache, and if I'm not having a good day, I get almost overwhelmed by sadness thinking abt everything they went trough, so I always procrastinate when it comes to start working on that one.

But I don't know, this fandom is addictive and the fic I posted just kinda started writing itself, so maybe my subconscious will demand I bring more Pete/Carl into this world.

[heartsunshine12]

Yeah I get what you mean, I have one finished, I just need to get to the right place to put the finishing touches on it. Well good luck with it! Oh I agree, this fandom is extremely addictive, after my first little drabble I got hooked.

Sometimes I find it helps me to talk about plots, if you ever need help/want to talk stuff over you can message me/we can email about it. I write and I beta for a girl in this comm so I love to talk about writing if you're ever interested.

Love the way it's so poetic.

It's not an epiphany; like everything else between them now, it's slow, peaceful, unhurried, so they don't know when it finds the words to wrap itself around it

Fave line. I love the gentleness in it - ALL THE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Lolol the brackets really remind me of TSN for some reason but in the best way of course.

I love this description of a relationship with all the metaphors and rich details. Going to make a Libertines tag just for you so I can save this xD

Thanks for writing and sharing <3

P.S. The Wikipedia photo of Carl reminds me of Frank Iero of MCR xD

[alicedawkins]

Wow, I'm tag-worthy! You're so cute! I'm glad you liked it, it's always nice when ppl get excited abt a fic that's not abt one of their fandoms (but we can change this...or not...I don't know if I wanna bring you into the Pete/Carl side of the force, it might eat up your life and then you might not give your time and energy to the awesome Fandombook project)

[casey_sms]

I don't know if I want to move either because I love TSN...but then you totally sent me on a Pete/Carl spiral O_O

Which included admiring this:

and finding out that Pete went to prison for robbing Carl? And that they reunited...and sort of broke up again.

ALL THE DRAMAZ. ANGSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

/dies

[alicedawkins]

Oh, I should have known better than introduce you to a fandom so filled with angst, shouldn't I? Just wanted to let you know I'm preparing a ''Pete/Carl 101'' e-mail to introduce you into this beautiful fandom. But be warned that, if you stop the work on Fandombook and an angry mob with pitches and forks shows up at my door, I'm sending them your way.

Sorry for late comment, but this my love is pure poetry :) x

[angel0230]

Lovely, well written fic! :D
