Ooh, ouch. If anything I loved the scene after the whipping much more than the whipping itself... nicely raw and confusing and yet with the two of them much closer than before.

I remain intrigued about Sinister's motivations: still an experiment, or something more? Certainly can't see him dating, and "Mr. Sinister Is My Fuck Buddy" is probably a National Inquirer headline.

Yeah, a lot of times, the aftercare is the best bit :D Mainly for the headspace and the floaty. ::coughs:: Hi, TMI!

I should link you to the Wiki about Sinister, and why I'm suddenly so obsessed with him. Actually, if you go back to his prompt on last week's Theatrical_Muse entry, about "What Song Describes Your Life", you can read about the thing that made me suddenly love him :D

Thanks for reading! I know this is very few people's cup of tea. ::loves::

This is, as you know, my favorite chapter. /grins

::G:: I am fond of it, too :D

UM. Hi. HOT.

I love Rachel/Sinister, now. LOVE IT. You writers of fanfic awesomeness are MAKING MY BRAIN WEIRD(er). I'm all about the bizarro non-canon ships, now.

ANYWAY. This is swell. And hot. Did I mention the hot?

Well, it is.

[inathunderstorm]

I am so GLAD that you love it! It's SO WEIRD and I totally made it up. ::SNICKERS::

I am glad that you thought it was hot, too. I approve of friends who find extremely fucked up consensual whipping hot. I JUST DO. ::loves::

This is, like, the third time this has happened. Someone has said, "Oh, I'm writing X/Y pairing" and I've been all, "Well, that doesn't make any sense." And then it's posted and it's AWESOME and I'm all, "Make room in that handbasket, 'cause I'm climbing in." Mark of effective writing, that is.

Oh, and I so giggled because, no kidding, I was JUST discussing with someone else whether Nocturne in Em or Moonlight Sonata is the ultimate melancholy piano piece.

[inathunderstorm]

That was the other one I considered, hee!!!

(PSST: When I'm done posting, I have a fanmix already made with the song on it. ::G::)

Okay, so I'd read the rest of the internet but was procrastinating, so I decided to read your fic even though I know nothing about Rachel Grey and almost nothing about Sinister, because it was you and therefore I was sure it would be nicely pervy.

And, well, damn. Very nice job.

As someone who has been on both sides of the belt, I really appreciate pervy fic that gives a little attention to the psychology of both top and bottom, but they're rare. This is mostly from Rachel's point of view, of course, but the little touches meant to show us that he is not entirely sanguine -- the particular things she says or does that manage to catch him off balance for a beat -- it's a touching note of sensitivity toward the peculiar and well-guarded vulnerabilities of tops. The emotions and reactions that you're showing us on both sides of the belt feel familiar to me, and that's really drawn me in.

Yay! You know I always love hearing your thoughts on the pervy fic, considering I still consider Ch. 11 of "No More Than You" to be the hottest thing I've ever read. And the rest of it, but omg, Chapter 11.

And I am also glad that Sinister's pov is showing up. I'm not a top and so it's hard for me to make sure I'm getting that right, and I'm glad to hear it's working. It's also been interesting writing a bottom who's not really a submissive :D

Thank you so much! I love writing these two, and Sinister is one of my favorites. Catch his Wikipedia entry for a delightful read sometime, if you want. I just love his eyes. Mmmmm.

And Rachel...oh, Rachel. Poor thing is a psychological mess.

I almost couldn't NOT write this, if you'll excuse the use of double-negatives.

Thank you for reading!!

You are the queen of BDSM fic. You're the only writer I know of who writes fully consensual and mutually pleasing BDSM and refrains from using hate or dislike as an excuse for the characters enjoying such activities. Kudos.

[inathunderstorm]

Thank you! Wow, that's quite a compliment :D

I have to say, if you like Magneto/Rogue, check out Erotisan's fic No More than You. Probably the hottest BDSM fic I have ever read!!
