Two beautiful things...

...for your Friday night.

First, an original M/M story from the latest edition of bb-shousetsu: The City of a Thousand Days by jibrailis (NC-17). It's set centuries ago in Baghdad, a city and time that the author brings to vivid life. Zamir has returned after years of exile, but not everyone is ready to welcome him back, at least not in the way he's dreamed of. I love

Hope you enjoy!

Isn't it a great idea? And the piece is stunning. I think the words include "angels singing," which is what it sounds like to me.

I loved those things too. Yay, glad you enjoyed it!

I heard about this on NPR last year and thought it was a very cool idea. I listened to 3:38 several times and I thought it sounded like the universe exhaling as one. The universe was present in that note. Beautiful.

And.

The director?

Hottie.

That's a great description! *listens to it again*

He is a total hottie, haha. Wonder if he's taken?

[flashfly]

I hope he's taken frequently and made to sing a few notes of his own.
