asdöfljf.

i knew meantime would give me bunnies, but i kind of thought they would be fps bunnies.

well, okay. i mean, it's not like there couldn't be fps bunnies but the one with its teeth in me reprises the TIM ROTH I THINK YOU'RE SEXY TOO material of better than one.

...to be fair, that was a kind of half-realised ficlet with no smut or anything.

ohgod. quick, lilah someone, encourage me.

(it would encourage me so much more if someone else would write some.

now that i've written three i'm responsible for fifty percent of the fandom. or i will be when this one gets out of beta.)

*feeds the nice bunny some carrots*

:D

the kind of carrots where you give it little bits of brainstorming about what gary was thinking or something re: the hypothetical film festival?

[perhael.livejournal.com]

gary was surprised to run into tim. there was immediate physical attraction, but he didn't know how to act on it. it was fairly clear to him from the beginning, though, that he did want to act on it. he was quite nervous about making the first step. he wanted to play it cool. he wanted to show tim who has the self-control around here. also, he felt a little silly about the whole writing-on-body thing (even though he was macho enough to write on his manly!bicep!omg, not on his face). he drank quite a bit to get his courage up. he hadn't quite figured out why it was such a Big Thing with tim.

big thing with tim: do you mean, why being sexually attracted was suddenly making him all wacked out nervous when before he was always Super Enlightened Gary apart from the drinking?

[perhael.livejournal.com]

he's not used to losing so much of his composure, you know. he wants tim BADLY. he doesn't know why. it makes him nervous. not to say he's always been Super Enlightened Gary, but he likes to present the image of being a Tough Bastard, especially to Tim because of their earlier meantime-rivalry. and he's finding it hard to keep that image up.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

omg he is such a woobie. being a tough bastard AND being rather enlightened though. he's a tough bastard who isn't at all homophobic. he's totally comfortable finding tim one of the, like, two sexiest people he's ever been in contact with.

they made big impressions on each other back then even though they didn't ACTUALLY become really close. neither of them had encountered in person another actor as talented as themselves, let alone someone they had so much in common with. and they have a similar kind of approach to acting, and these styles that jive so well together. it was kind of weird for them to meet that way. and they both had Ambitions too.

so even though that was a wee thing and gary's done TONS of things since then and worked with many other actors, and many of them very brilliant, and even though he and tim haven't been in touch, and were never exactly mates--

--gary still thought about him up until the time of rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead fairly frequently. for gary, the first time of watching another character actor shrug into a really extreme role was powerful, sort of like the first time of having sex in terms of strength, but more like watching someone else have sex in terms of what it was like--intimate. he felt like he was seeing something he wasn't supposed to see.

Whatever the bunny is, you must heed its call. Yes. And tell me more. What's Meantime like?

Oh, and I love 'better than one'. I rarely like first-person pov fics, especially ones where the pov keeps changing, but in this piece it's perfect.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

it's very rare for me to write that way.

i feel lame, suddenly, using the photographs again, but but. they're just SO FUCKING CUTE.

[anglepoiselamp.livejournal.com]

Heeey, I don't think anyone in the fandom could possibly get tired of the photos any time soon. :D
