So mixed-up and dark and strange and SEXY! I am going to be re-reading this for a while! Great job, livenudebigfoot!

(Fusco and Reese remind me of my two cats - one minute they are grooming each other and purring, next minute they are smacking each other with their claws and hissing)

ETA: I'd love to get more of their back story - how they all hooked up in the first place!

[livenudebigfoot]

Thank you! :D

I've actually written a few (unfinished) scenarios for how this thing got started. If it helps any, this fic comes later in the same continuity as two of my other fics (Biting Your Own Neck and By Silence as By Speech), so, you know, those happened first. Basically, they all hooked up separately and then Reese was like "YESSSSS THREESOME" and Finch and Fusco were initially reluctant but went through with it, and then Reese was like "Wait this was maybe not the best idea, given that I am a jealous man," but it inexplicably worked out.

Thanks for letting us know about the other 2 fics. I'll definitely have a read when I get a chance later today :)

[livenudebigfoot]

Thank you! Although I should warn you that they don't precisely fill in the gap. Biting Your Own Neck is how Reese and Fusco ended up together (and it explains the mention of a collar earlier on in the fic) and By Silence as By Speech is about Finch and Fusco learning to relate to each other in a gen-y way. The actual moment of "Hey, you know what we should do? Threeway." remains unwritten so far.

Fabulous.

Love the way that Finch asks for what he would like but Reese can't.

Love the way Fusco always needs to be angry and agressive with Reese but Reese wants to be loving with Lionel but can't.

Very sexy and excellent character study.

[livenudebigfoot]

Thank you! <3

Mindblowingly fabulous!The character studies and dynamics of the trio are spot on.

I love the ending in particular, when Fusco shows them that he has them all figured out. Who really is in control here, hmmmm??!! "Don't make us get up on your account. Get your crippled ass down here." ROFLMAO! ;)

[livenudebigfoot]

Thanks! <3

It's interesting, because this started off as very much a "Reese controls Fusco -> Finch controls Reese -> Fusco has no agency" kind of thing, but as I wrote it Fusco started to kind of step up and take control in a lot of aspects that I didn't initially intend.

I wasn't sure what I thought of this initially (all those cameras!) but wow, it was really hot and definitely stayed dark and interesting. Finch is one kinky SOB :) I'm with kmmerc, it'd be interesting to see the origins of this whole crazy situation!

[livenudebigfoot]

Thanks for giving it a chance! I knew it wouldn't be an easy premise for a lot of readers to jump right into, so I'm glad you stuck with it. <3

[kmmerc]

Hell, I am also VERY interested in seeing what happens what Finch gets his crippled ass down there! So many interesting dynamics! LOVE jealous Reese!

[livenudebigfoot]

Yeah, I'm actually not quite sure how it would work if they were all in the same room together. When I initially conceived of the threesome, I was thinking of it as sort of a nontraditional threesome, where they're all in separate relationships with each other that have totally different dynamics and levels of seriousness, and they're very careful to never let there be any crossover. But then a friend of mine was like, "But what if Finch just sat back and watched Reese and Fusco on camera while giving instructions?" and I was like YUP THAT NOW.

So I've never actually worked out the whole "Everyone is in the same room and we are all having sex together" aspect of this relationship.

[kmmerc]

Now I'm picture a ragdoll Finch, slightly tipsy, being tugged between a scarred but still elegant doberman and a squat, red american staffordshire terrier, with a crumpled ear and a scar on his butt!

BTW, I loved Finch having a conniption fit over Reese thinking about cutting Fusco's fine shirt!

[livenudebigfoot]

Aww, that's a sweet image. I guess that kind of is how it would be; sort of bullying and competitive and physically overwhelming, but Finch is still totally in charge.

And, yeah, Finch-in-my-head is really serious about the gifts he gives to other people and that they not go to waste or be ruined or rejected, because he doesn't really get how to connect with other people so he gives them gifts and it's such a big deal for him that it kind of hurts when they aren't well-received or well-treated.
