First of all: AAAAAAAHHHHH OH MY GOD NEW FIC and just what I need before work OMGOMGOMGOMG KLAJBDKLJAGFKLJAHDKLAJHDKLAJDHAKLJHIQYIAJHF

second of all: THAT. THATWASHOT also I can totally see this happening. I can totally see ALL of this happening -- and you actually filled my unspoken desire to see you write their first time. :3~ HAPPY JESS IS HAPPY.

Lastly: CHRIST THAT ALMOST MADE ME CRY. The last bit just... god that hit me 'cause I imagined him thinking this all in his PRISON CELL waiting for either his appeal or his execution or what. lkajfkjf ;______;

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE HIS LIFE SO MISERABLE. ALL OF YOU.

Except that's kind of why we love him and explore him and dlkhgslkghks GHN.

I'm still hopeful about the fact that he'd get an appeal or a long sentence but not an execution-- WHAT A THING TO BE HOPEFUL FOR ARGH.

I'm not going to be able to focus on anything all day. Goddamn music videos.

[fanbeatsman]

If he got life he'd only be 50 when he came out...not to mention if he managed parole or an appeal or anything. And I CAN'T see him getting an execution, I just can't - he's a totally different animal to Dahlia or von Karma, surely.

Never let it be said that I am not an optimist.

oh god sometimes I think I actually DO enjoy torturing Daryan when I read over my fics. I think it's a weird and morbid way of expressing my sympathy for him

[fanbeatsman]

Thank you so much, seriously ♥ ♥ ♥ Damn, I'm so glad it works for you, really I am. When I saw the prompt, I'd already been playing with the idea that the image I had of their first time wasn't actually true, that something had happened before that, and had been thinking around a short Klavier POV fic set REALLY early in their friendship that was sort of similarly themed, and from all that this just seemed RIGHT somehow. And then the end bit...idk, I can't tell if it's me being morbid or if it's a way of making myself feel better about his canon ending but I keep wanting to write Daryan in prison - I want to try and figure out how he'd change, whether he'd come to understand the things about himself that imo took him to that point. I'm so pleased that you think it rings true, though - coming from someone who works as much with Daryan's character as you do, that means a lot ♥

OH MAN as usual this is totally awesome. I told myself I would just glance over it because I need to work on my own shit before work, and, and, I READ IT ALL.

Your Daryan is so amazing and complex and flawed and the way you described what happened without really describing it - fabulous. I always look forward to reading your stuff.

[kecleon]

I CAN ONLY HOPE TO MAKE POLY'S DARYAN SO AWESOME. ;^;

[alienchrist]

OKAY BUT MACHI IS STILL GONNA PUNCH HIM

[greatcrescendo]

He can try.

[trenchkamen]

God damn I love the way you write Klavier/Daryan. It's so insanely hot and gritty and glam-rock.

[fanbeatsman]

Thank you! I was drawn to this ship in the first place because I thought that's how they should be, and I'm so so pleased you think I'm managing to do that justice.

[crescends]

I swear, this is how I started my morning, Jess phoning me and going, "CLARE WROTE A NEW FIC." And I kind of jumped out of bed and read and made little gleeful noises and I think I was reacting so much making my comments about it and awwing and god you should have seen the way I was reacting it was kind of animated and silly and yeah-- my geek fangirl, let me show you it.

And finally the fic sank in and I just wondered if there could be anything more right-- seriously, no one GETS them the way you do and I love the gritty masculinity that you add to their personalities and yet manage to keep them so sympathetic and ghnnn. I love these two so hard, I am hoping for an improvement with my Klavier as well and want to write him the way you see him and the way we agree with and. Gyah. ;_________;

Beautiful fic, sexy flow, and oh GOD Daryan, why are you so amazingly flawed and beautiful and grhfjksdhf.

/spazz

I should not be re-reading this at work, haha. The third read had me sniffling. ;;

[fanbeatsman]

There are no words but LOVE ♥ Your comments always make me so flaily happy, and this especially just makes me want to dance. Honestly, it makes me so happy that you get and appreciate what I'm trying to do with them, because whenever you've talked to me about them I've thought YES and if I can write a version that rings true for you, then that's pretty damn awesome as far as I'm concerned.

Every time I write Daryan, I get more interested in him. I don't know how he got this stranglehold on my brain but somehow he totally did, DAMN. Same with Klavier, though, actually, and the two of them - there's just something about how they are or could be or could have been together that FEEDS MY BRAIN. Apparently I am a sucker for massive fragile egos and awkward unexpressed affection, who knew?

This was actually kind of hard to write because it made me sad. It's more personal, I guess, than my stuff usually is. This isn't anything that's happened to me exactly, but some very similar things have - had a happy ending with one Klavier, and a

I first read this fic on the kink meme, liked it, and drew one of the images that I saw in my head when reading. (Posted a reply to the fic post on the kink meme, but I wasn't sure if you'll see that, so here I am commenting here too~) http://pics.livejournal.com/pwanon/pic/000024g3
no going anon here? D: XD

[fanbeatsman]

Thank you so much! Both for drawing it and for pointing me to it - I've not been checking the meme as much recently, so I might well have missed it if you hadn't. It's a really gorgeous picture - the expression on Daryan's face, that kind of awkward, sort-of-but-not-really anger, is just how I would have pictured it, likewise the converse thoughtless flirtatiousness on Klavier's. Love Klavier's hand on Daryan's shoulder, too.

Just...wow. I'm so pleased you liked the story, and I'm thrilled that you've drawn this. I've got a very visual imagination, myself, but no artistic talent whatsoever - it's really exciting for me to actually see such a great visual rendering of the images I was trying to get across. Thank you so, so much, seriously ♥

And ugh, I'm sorry about the no anon commenting thing! It's not a conscious choice; I think it's just the default settings of the journal. I should really change it; I've got no real problem with anonymous comments.

[sharkdiva]

You're most welcome! I'm really happy you like it. ^__^

Oh, is it a default setting? Lol. I probably have it on too without even noticing. XD;; Anyway, don't worry about it. This account isn't my personal LJ account, just an extra account kind of thing, so I still feel somewhat anonymous? (Lol, anonymity is just a pyschological sense of freedom for me anyway. So as long as the "feeling" is still there, I'm actually fine?)
