rps: "high rent", tim roth/gary oldman, nc-17 au, 150 K

at long long last it's finished. thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kmazzy and [livejournal.com profile] wild_boys for their speedy and comprehensive british betaing, and most especially to [livejournal.com profile] perhael for holding my hand and cheerleading through practically every scene. this one's definitely for you, lilah.

high rent
author: [livejournal.com profile] cimorene111
rating: nc-17; v/ graphic sex
summary: au. 1982 london: to celebrate what could be his big break, gary oldman goes out to celebrate... and picks up a rent boy.
some slight background: by a strange and alarming coincidence, the possibility of this story was first discussed in [livejournal.com profile] rosnguil one year ago tomorrow. wild!

i've also, just in case, posted it in my writing journal.

i'm at the point where gary's asking "how much" and i had to stop (i have to ease myself through tense situations, even in fiction), and i thought i might take the moment to tell you that this is fantastic, in a delicious young!gary&tim manner.

I meant to send feedback earlier but I got stuck on 'Guh' and 'Damn, this is good.'

"Again and again and again."

Scorching and hot and the repetitive words just bring home the point even more.

The hair shaving sequence is so endearing and normal yet slightly awkward and odd. Off-kilter and real.

I had this odd thought about Gary thinking about owning Tim, claiming him for his own but Tim was the one who gave Gary a scar, subconsciously marking (and owning) him.

thanks for the feedback! i'm glad you liked it. i kind of dug the hair-shaving scene too. it was one of the most enjoyable to write.
