Kinky Boots 10

[llamaramauk]

“Are you sure, Miles?” Phoenix breathed, as they came up for air between kisses. “I mean, we don’t have to …”

Miles silenced him with a finger on his lips. “I’m sure. Neither of us are children, Phoenix … or virgins, for that matter.”

“Speak for yourself!” Phoenix looked suitably scandalised for precisely five seconds before his demeanour cracked

I THOUGHT that might have been you!

I... in a horrible nasty way I'm kind of glad you did write that because 1) it made me squiiirrrrmmm and I think it's good to be that affected once in a while and 2) I know someone who fetishizes raped!Miles and I am glad in a vicious and petty way that I now have something to show her about how that would NOT be sexy AT ALL.

... er, that is to say you wrote this very well and in all its realistic horror you did the damn thing RIGHT, which is very important. So thank you for the terrible because it is very good terrible. D:

I have absurdly protective instincts towards Edgeworth since I started writing him a lot and I must admit that there is a part of me that wants to pick up prompts like this (even if they don't agree with my personal canon) to make sure he gets treated with some seriousness and respect, if that makes sense. It's NOT sexy, it was extremely unsexy to write, and if anyone finds sexy elements to it I want them to be uncomfortable with that feeling, not "YAY! BUTTSECKS"! That's partly why one or two details are pointedly obscure, including his age

PS. The cologne is by Cartier, apparently. *shrugs*

I really loved this. I was very wary of the prompt, as PTSD with rape is both a touchy and compelling topic that's rarely handled well, and I've never been too keen on von Karma in a sexually abusive light. But this is suitably eerie, the sensory details are excellent, and the blur of Edgeworth's thoughts with Phoenix and back with von Karma was very well done.

I'm not a VK-as-sexual-abuser supporter either. But I was a bit worried about this prompt - it's been preying on my mind since it went up but I was avoiding it.

I'm glad I handled it okay as I know it is a touchy subject and I didn't want it to be dealt with lightheartedly or used as a vehicle for THE HEALING POWER OF THE PHOENIX PENIS.

Icon love. That is all.

[llamaramauk]

Icon TRUTH, some days :)

Although in the case of this story, it was more like "We call this state dealing with something we now can't unimagine."

[llamaramauk]

I don't know that I would want to again! Not keen on being in my favourite character's heads when bad things occur.

I think the smell of lavender will make me sick for the next week.

Ooooh boy. I think that story was the perfect balance between uncomfortable, harrowing and creepy but also riveting and tinged with hope.

The ending was perfect. You showed that there is a little light at the end of the tunnel for Edgeworth but that it would be a difficult journey for both him and Phoenix to make.

Poor Miles. The fandom does like piling the angst onto his broad shoulders doesn't it? XD

[llamaramauk]

I would like to stress that *I* think he has enough angst without adding Karmacest into the mix. But if you're gonna have it I wanted it at least to be treated with the gravity it deserves. Sappy as that is XD

I wandered over from ffrants, unfamiliar with the fandom, but curious to see how the PTSD was handled. I really liked the framing of it, Passion-Hesitation-Flashback-Concern-Comfort.

It was an intense, chilling, harrowing ride, yet I was left with a pale glimmer of hope at the end.

*Blinks*. FFRants? Oh dear, did I upset someone?

And thank you, I'm glad it worked for you. I am very tired of this particular pairing being treated as "hot" or in some kind of uber-angst way.

I am very fond of the character of Miles and also, in fact, of Von Karma. Consequently I dislike seeing them warped out of character for titillation. I rather hoped to portray it differently than usual.

Oddly enough, it's one of the stories that I am most proud of, although I find it almost impossible to reread and it can't be archived anywhere online other than here. Ahah.

Sorry, pet, didn't mean to frighten you. Quite the contrary, your gem a story was given as an antidote to the "all-healing cock" syndrome.

It's a longish thread about Sues invading the fandom, but Here's the link to the post about "Close Your Eyes".

PS:
Mind if I ask why can't you archive the story anywhere else?

btw:
I understand why you can't revisit some stories. I have one that I adore, but it's really dark and filled with angst. I got half-way through it and had to put it aside. I was so wiped out I couldn't write anything for 5 months. It took me 4 more before I could pick up that particular story.

I finished it, but I feel like I wimped out on the last chapter. It's good, but not as powerful as the earlier chapters. I'm determined to go back and do a revision -- once I find the courage.

I found the thread, thanks! And yes, "Feen's Magic Peen" is a joke among me and a few like-minded "NOTHX!" writers and RPers XD

I can't archive this anywhere because it's not really smutty/hawt to fit places like AFFnet, but the (fairly explicit) theme of child abuse makes it not adhere to the rules of the OBJECTION! archive and FFNet. So I leave it here under an 18 filter as that works fine XD

And yes I have a half-finished fic I need to complete. Sadly it deals with Miles and I was just getting to his daddy issues when my own father died. It put me off and i haven't gone back since, although I really want to finish it.
