This was really beautiful. I love the idea of a musician, like an actor, having to summon his own emotions to do his work properly. [With me it's precisely the contrary - in order to work, my emotions have to vanish so that my inner eyes can focus on a universe of lifeless, eternal beauty.]

I'm just sad that the guilt and longing are for Stephen. Poor, forgotten Bobby.

I think that Hugh is probably a "method" singer, so I could see him having to dig for those emotions and equally not wanting to.

I realize it feels odd to go back to Hugh/Stephen when you've been immersed in my Hugh/Bobby verse, but let's face it Hugh and Stephen go back further and they will always have that special bond.

You're of course right. I know you (and, in your story, HL and RSL) have moved on. Anyway, I loved the drabble. I'm just completely and totally obsessed.

And congrats on the 101 drabbles! Damn, I shouldn't have so fast a finger on the "Post Comment" button.

I love this! It's funny you chose the Blues theme, because since I've known that Hugh's gonna release that album of his I was wondering if one of the songs had some meaning for him regarding Stephen.

YAY! I'm really glad this worked for you, and Great Minds Definitely think alike regarding Hugh's blues album.

Nice read. It's been awhile since a Stephen-Hugh story has appeared. I like that you brought the Blues album into it. Thanks. :)

Thanks! I'm sorry to hear there hasn't been much fic lately. I'm doing a year of drabbles, so feel free to drop some prompts.
