Just..yum.
You hope Ewan tastes you. You hope Ewan presses his mouth to that spot, that spot tucked away behind the curve of Jude’s left ear, and you hope Ewan feels it and tastes it, feels and tastes you.
Bloody lovely, I say!

History imprints itself on skin and you know that, you know that you can find the places on yourself that smell or taste like someone else but you never thought you could find them on someone else.
You lay your fingertips on his collarbones.
You try to wipe Ewan away and put yourself there instead.
This was beautiful. Oh everything was. Thank you. *hug* Must go on Jude spree now.

The first thing that hit me as soon as I reached the end that you had not mentioned Orli's name once throughout the piece. Everything pointed to the fact that it was him, it was Orli, I mean, it says so in the header. But it was never pin-pointed, it was never, Jude whispered 'Orli...', which I was somewhatkindasorta waiting for. It wasn't disappointing, though. It's impressive, how you can show so many sides of Orli; the possessive, the angst, the wishfulness... and yet never say his damn name.
Interesting how the sentences are constructed... run-ons are a secret love of mine, but it worked very well throughout this. The whole Looking... Looking... Looking for someone? bit is one. long. sentence. It rolls, it drips like hot wax. It scalds. Very affective, how urgent it drives past... and when you're reading through it, it doesn't seem that way at all, does it ( ... )

I adore Judeslash... he begs to be slashed. Honestly, he does. And (like Orli, in my opinion) he just reeks of sex. Just, everything he does. Guh.
and yet never say his damn name.
It was actually my original intention to do the whole thing without mentioning Jude's name, as well... but then it got into the last part, and Ewan, and it was too damn hard. The one thing I dislike about slash is that you always have to state the names.. because 'him' and 'him' just, you know, doesn't work.
run-ons are a secret love of mine
Hah, me too. Although it's not really a secret. I bet I've written fics that are a page and a half and only two sentences. *laughs*
I'm just wondering, where is that from? It fits so perfectly with the tone... It's not from anywhere, actually. I was going to title the 'bits' differently, but then I saw the phrase 'existed mostly' in the first part. It's a habit of mine, when I can't title a fic, to just scan through and find a phrase, usually split up by a period or something, that can mean ( ... )
