*laughs* Good to know, given how damned hard that prompt bit me! I really worried about characterization, so *whew* glad you think I got that right. I had lots of help on the kinks, tho.
Wow! My favorite smexings are usually sweet, simple, and unaccessorized, so I didn't think this would really be my cup of tea, but I thought, hey, give it a chance (and look who wrote it, too!)...And I loved it! Both hot and very emotionally touching, incredible how you managed such role reversal and kept them both in character...
I loved your descriptions of all of Sunstreaker's paintings, especially this one: He chose to paint a Bluestreak that didn't exist - not the overly friendly mask Blue projected or the dark dominatrix, but a blend of the two, a confident secure mech, gazing serenely out of the panel. And then Bluestreak recognizing Sunstreaker's feelings of vulnerability when no one else did, even his brother - I think I may have wibbled when Blue called him "sweetcakes" ^_^
Here, have some more internetz ^^ *sprinkles with*
I'm stunned that you read this just because I wrote it. Stunned in a good way and terribly flattered, so thank you. I'm really glad you took a chance on it and furthermore, enjoyed it.
I'm thrilled that the painting descriptions worked and you liked them, especially Blue's portrait, which I think only Sunstreaker could have created because he knows Blue as no-one else does.
Really? You wibbled? Oh, gosh. I'm sorry. It was the only way I could think of to let Sunny find a safe place in the midst of his anxiety attack that Sides was too self-centered to notice! Darn that Sideswipe...
No no, don't apologize - I love a good wibble, and that was a good one! I've very glad I took a chance on it too ^_^
(Also, I was very happy the handcuffs were leather - BDSM isn't usually my favorite, but it doesn't usually squick me either, except for the handcuffs set off all sorts of alarm bells in my paranoid, worst-case-scenario-lovin' little brain. What if there was an earthquake! or your lover had a heart/spark attack! or FIRE, and you couldn't find the key!!! *flails arms*)
Oh, good. I didn't really want to upset anyone, so I'm glad it was a good type of wibble. *hugs*
When I was in high school, there was a story in the news about a guy who had handcuffed his wife to the bed, then stripped and dressed in a Batman costume, climbed on the dresser to leap down on her, and...knocked himself cold on the ceiling fan. So there she is, handcuffed, unable to get free, husband out cold and bleeding. Luckily, she was able to use her foot to knock the phone off its hook and dial 911, but I freaked. Handcuffs you can't get out of? No. Hell no. And I got linked to a BDSM site and found - leather cuffs! AWESOME! The fact that you picked up on that detail gives me warm feelings. I'm not the only paranoid person on this planet, LOL!
First off, so much more hard core than I usually go for in fan fic; especially with switching these two characters around from their typical outward personas. But...Wow! You took a kink prompt and made it so much more than the kink. There is a lot of mental baggage thrown in here and you handled that undercurrent throughout well. You presented and handled the whole thing wonderfully. You should be most pleased with this piece/storyline.
I'm terrifically pleased with it - I worked hard on it and I did a good job, but it's always nice to get reinforcement from my friends! Thank you so much for gambling on this and reading it.
Sunny and Blue intrigue me because they must have so much mental baggage. I can't describe how hard this prompt grabbed me because it was them and because it allowed a venue to work through their own reactions to the stresses of fighting a war. I'm really glad you think I did well with all those emotional issues. *whew*
Yeah, sorry about the hardcore stuff. Kink!meme is kinky, what else can I say?
Suggestions? Pimping myself out is where I suck. Obviously, I chose transficsation, where else should I post this?
See? I phail somedays. The stress of my life right now is not helping me think!
And it was so much fun working with you on this - I really enjoyed our e-mails, and this story wouldn't have been nearly as good without all your help and suggestions.
