Title: A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

Beautiful descriptions of the photographs. I can just about picture them all, though part of me wishes they were real so I can own them. I do hope someone takes up the challenge to try drawing them.

Wonderful story either way.

It would be great if anyone drew them. I'm glad you liked the descriptions.

very compelling! i doubt Blaine put much thought into the fact that in this day and age, it's very easy for his nude pics to get online - and everything seems to be a mockery once it hits Facebook.

i enjoyed this a lot, your writing is brilliant.

Yeah, if they've retconned him to 16, he probably just thought "Wow, I get to help an artist."

Thank you for such a wonderful compliment.

THIS NEEDS VISUALS LIKE BURNING. OMG.

Kurt stepped forward protectively. "Blaine's never touched me with anything but affection and gentleness."

<3_<3

And he always will. Forever.

Yeah, standing up to Mercedes when she's in her "cut a bitch" mode is a little scary. *G*

I agree that Blaine seems very gentle in most ways.

Awww, my heart aches for Kurt. But I love how strong he is throughout ♥

Now I want to legitimately see these pictures drawn/manipulated/something omfggggggg.

The boy (young man) is strong. I'm glad you thought he seemed that way in the story.

I feel like this story should be framed and put in a gallery! The photos you envisioned and the moments you (and Portia) caught between poses create such compelling mental images. You could really sense the vulnerability, tenderness, intimacy, growing trust and confidence (wow, Blaine is kind of fearless ;) this situation brought out.

Also loved the "Funny Face" reference and Lauren's reactions to the photos (forgot to mention before how it was cute how you incorporated her into the other stories you wrote too, when she helped Kurt view Blaine's recording).

Kurt and Blaine are gorgeous subjects, and you (and Portia) showed them in a beautifully artistic light.

p.s. I wish some magazine would do kind of an artistic shoot with Darren and Chris. (Not that EW wasn't adorable and swoon-worthy, but something a little different in mood and style. They both take such amazing pictures and have a great rapport.)

[fabrisse]

I love skintightsocks story about that kind of photo shoot.

[pawndilene]

Thanks, I'll look it up! Anything by them is sure to be pretty evocative and amazing.

(Not sure if I'd want a real life photo shoot to go as far as fan fiction, maybe just something that shows Darren and Chris' loveliness and connection. ;)
