'How Do You Sleep?' (John/George, R)

Sep 22, 2005 20:56

It figures it takes wank and nostalgia over picspam to make me go and write Beatles slash again. I blame lykaios and thedeadparrot. Their fault, whores. A little over 1,000 words 'o crack and spur of the moment ...crack? love. Or the other way around?

John/George, R. Set during the summer of 1971 and the making of John's Imagine album. Inspired ( Read more... )

I really like how you capture John post-Beatle. Like all this odd sort of stuff happening and yet it's touching how he still cares about Julian. It's interesting how John and George are so casual about their sex and it kind of feels like it might have been that way the entire time (possibly with the others?).

Thank you! :)

Maaaaybe. ;)

I have this theory for Beatles slash that while all the big things are going on, they're just carrying on a casual affair the whole time. Bwah ha ha. With each other, and with others!

Lovely. It's so rare to see stories set in this era -- especially ones that seem remotely realstic. Makes me want to give that album another listen through though. :)

Thank you! :) It's really an unexplored era, I think -- right after they broke up, those years... the little meetings here and there that they had. It's fascinating!

I really liked this. I really love your writing style. One can picture everything to easily. Of course if one has seen Imagine then that helps too. ;)

I love that documentary. Ahh. John.

I really enjoyed this...the characterization of george was endearing...I like that he's pissed off in that quiet sort of way. I like that he knows his song about Paul would be better and more brutal perhaps;) great work

Thank you! I'm glad that came across... I like George being grumpy. With good reason. Heh.

Excellent film, excellent fic. I like how you've portrayed George as passive, and the way you conveyed his thoughts; very well done.
