[fiction] Life & Times

[praiseofshadows]

And just when you thought you were safe....Life & Times returns. Complete with a cast.

Or, I'm hopped up on enough caffeine and pain pills to actually post this bit of crack. XD.

Also, special guest stars courtesy of L.J. Smith. And my own warped imagination. Rated R for innuendo and language.

Ahahah. Oh god. This is so awesome. I'm only vaguely familiar with either fandom (mostly because of you XD) and it still fills me with an insane sort of glee. ♥

[praiseofshadows]

YAY! Because...um...I was kinda afraid it was only funny in my head like so very many things are XDDDDD. Also, torturing Jared is its own fandom. XDDDD. Because Jared needs MORE crazy relatives. And mud-wrestling. (Also, Blaine = Fubuki, y/n? XD)

[immicolia]

Well rest assured that I find it insanely funny too. Especially since I finally got around to looking at the cast thing now too and.... ahahahaha Gerard Way. XD which would probably be even funnier if I was into the bandom thing like half of my friendslist appears to be which brings to mind the fact: have I ever mentioned how much I need to read Umbrella Academy? Because the number of Sad Little Orphans in suits saving the world in that screams for some form of crossover in my head XDDD

(and yes. Very much yes)

[praiseofshadows]

Yay! Because the cast was fun to cast. XD. Yeah, I have no clue about bandom either. I just couldn't resist the emo-ness of MCR. Because, honestly, Labyrinth is such an emo movie. Even if emo didn't exist yet XDDD. I think Umbrella Academy (which I have not read either but now I feel I must) should be DA's "sister school" or something. Because it's the only thing that makes any sense! XDDDDDD

(Because Fubuki likes girls. And by girls I mean Fujiwara and/or Manjyome. Er...what? XDDD)

First, I will look for this L.J. Smith person/fandom for further information, so I might know where the references to the other fandom lie..

And second, I LOVELOVELOVE IT. Jareth is such a little sarcastic shit when it comes to his family, I LOVE IT. And Sarah thinking he's gay is awesome, cos really, everyone wonders about it every now and again... ♥ ♥ ♥

In conclusion, you're just awesome. ♥

L.J. (Lisa Jane) Smith wrote TONS of rather formulaic teen occult novels back in the early/mid 1990s. One of her series was The Forbidden Game, a sort of Labyrinth rip-off but it sucks you in anyway. XD. Anyway, the main gist of it is this Shadow Man named Julian falls for a girl named Jenny Thornton. She's got a boyfriend (Tom), two bffs (Audrey & Dee), and then Audrey has a BF named Michael. Then there's her (step?)cousin Zach (who randomly has vaguely incestuous tendencies towards her in the first novel...or so Julian says) and her other cousin Summer.

And they all are forced to live out their nightmares, run mazes, etc. etc. because they chose to "play the game" (think Jumanji). Anyway, Jenny is alternatively attracted to/repulsed by Julian throughout the course of the books. Julian remains in love with her. It doesn't end well.

I actually learnt of the series from reading some really weird Labyrinth / Forbidden Game xover that made Sarah and Jenny cousins. And Jareth a Shadow Man. And after that...I read them and

I just got this lady's entire library downloaded, so I'll be up-to-date on this entire fandom... and aahahaha, it sounds like an awesome fandom to be in XD

I--i-i-t doesn't end well? WAAAAH!

Oh, I know -- Funny dialogue is always the most confusing writing, isn't it? It either comes out as much more funnier than you expected it to, or something weird and malformed and partially chewed through >_>

[praiseofshadows]

All of it? ROCK ON! (even I have not seen all of it. The Vampire Diaries and the Secret Circle are always elsewhere. XDDDD. Read "The Huntress," if nothing else. Jez/Morgead ftw! XDDDD. Er...yeah, not as if I'm pushing you into my L.J. Smith OTPs or anything XDDDDDD.

No T_T Which is why fanfic exists XDDD

Yeah...only sadly, I'm usually the "weird and malformed and partially chewed through" variety XDDDD.

[redseeker]

I honestly have no idea why I didn't start reading this piece of awesomeness earlier. It is made of genius and ♥ and so are you :DDDDD ♥♥♥

[praiseofshadows]

Heee! I'm so glad you like this! Because...it's mad fun to write! Especially now that Julian's in the mix! Poor Jenny...she really has no idea what she's in for! XDDDDDD

[redseeker]

And the bit at the end, where Blaine realises he's talking to the Erlking and Jareth realises he probably should have thought about what he was doing? Fabulous... XD He's like "uhhhh crap x_x"

[lyamainu]

You're killing me with laughter. Ohhh, I SO wanna read the rest of this!!!

[praiseofshadows]

I'm so glad you found this funny! :D Thanks for reading! ♥
