Fic: This Is A Love Song (Part One)

Apr 03, 2008 00:30

Oh, holy fuck. Maybe now I can actually read my FList and, like, exist in the world, without spending every waking moment (and many sleeping) working on this story. Also, apparently it is too long for one post. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE.

YAY. I WILL MAKE YOU A RECS EMAIL. Or, um, actually, you could always just go to my del.icio.us. Or bandom_recs. Or I could send you Kath's Amazing Primer Of Doom, although it is a little out of date, now. Oh! Or! If you're feeling the Mikey love, you could just start with Everyday Mysteries In The Summertime.

Er, sorry. I AM A PUSHER. IT IS THE BEST CRACK EVER IN THE UNIVERSE, BECCA.

P.S. Nifty! I will stalk him/her!

ETA: Apparently I cannot tag, today. ::bangs head against wall::

Sweet fucking Jesus, that was good. And hot. And good.

I'm not sure what you do better . . . porn, dialogue, or emotional complexity. All three? Your writing is so damn strong! And, and, hurt/comfort with humor!

Oh god, Mikey's freakout scene . . . Gerard is hilarious, and perfect, as far as I can tell with my limited background. Also I love protective!Patrick. I'm becoming rather fond of him.

I've had this increasing love of threesome fic in recent years, but very little of it actually balances well. You do an amazing job of explaining the ridiculous complexity of the situation (why I think polyamory is so fucking hard: as though it isn't difficult enough to harmonize two people and all their baggage and issues and quirks). And you do a really good job of being fair to all the characters too.

Extra love to you for the girl-doing-boy scene, also. Okay, I have to stop babbling, my lunchbreak is ending. In conclusion, loved it!

Dammit, now I'm going to have a Fall Out Boy song on my computer. Right now it is on my work ( ... )

Thank you! It can totally be your birthday fic, if you want! (Although every time I watch the Honey video I want to write Hush Sound GSF more, so you might still get actual birthday fic.)

I really love threesome fic, but I agree: it doesn't often balance well, which I think is part of why I had to write this one this way, and it couldn't just be porn. I had the Alicia-fucks-Mikey "We should have a Pete clause" scene in my head first, and everything else fell out from there, but it took a really long time to figure out how to fit it all together. Polyamory is hard in real life and it's hard to write, but it is kind of how I think, and it was the only way I found I could be fair to all the characters, which was really important, because I kind of love them a lot.

But yeah, anyway, YAY! I'm so glad you loved it! <3!

Ahahahahahahahahahah. Yeah, totally.

Hee. Thanks, but no, this is your (first?) bandom Opus; I think it's for you. I don't need birthday fic; it's just fun to have fic that I like reading, period! (Meeeeeep, wtf. Um, sorry, just kind of how I've been feeling lately.)

Spring is in the air, or something. ;)

Aw, thanks! <3

Although really, when it comes to birthday fic, I am really just using you as an excuse to plot Hush Sound GSF. It's definitely my first opus - I mean, I'm actively working on at least three epics, plus some shorter stuff. So. OMG, it is seriously so, so amazing to be writing again.

Spring! :D

Okay. Wow. It's late and I have homework, a job interview and a test tomorrow and I came across this story by complete accident and kind of started to look over it and thought, "Hmm. This would be worth reading some other time." and then I read this line:

“Sex makes you stupid,” she says, rolling her eyes, “I mean with the strap-on.”

and fell out of my chair. Sweet zombie Jesus, I've never seen that in a fanfic before. And now I have to peel my eyes off this, be distracted by hot, dirty thoughts of it at surely what will be the most inappropriate times all day tomorrow, and wait to read when I actually can.

Am I rambling yet? Hi, by the way. ♥

Hi! :D

Well, I don't suppose I can quite apologize for keeping you up late or for the hot, dirty, distracting thoughts, but I do hope you enjoy the story when you get to read the rest of it! I promise it's not all porn, although the porn was definitely fun to write.

Good luck with your homework/test/job interview, though, dude. Compartmentalize! <3
