I got home last night around midnight. I wanted to do a quick check of my friendslist and the first entry I saw was
valereix reccing a fic. She said it made her cry and so I thought, okay I should check it out. So I click on her link and I start reading and I'm all, "Hey! This isn't about Brian! Why is Valerie sending me to read an Ethan fic? I thought she loved me?" But since it was Valerie telling me to read it and it didn't look that long, I persevered. Maybe this is really good Ethan fic and then...what? Oh, no...something is wrong with Justin. So I kept reading and then the skies brightened and the heavens opened and there was Brian Kinney and all was right with the world but it wasn't beuse by then situation Justin was all fucked up and I was reallly really heavily invested. Damn.
I read the tumor fic. I did. I stayed up all night, passed the point of exhaustion and I read the tumor fic and Justin kept getting sicker and I was just about to die and it was brilliant. Voices were clear, and the details were solid and damned if it wasn't a soap opera, but no soap opera was ever real like that and it just got to me.
I wouldn't read this before. The titles and the fact that it starts out Ethan POV turned me off. But Valerie just linked to the first story so I wasn't really aware of what I was reading until I was already heavily invested. And then there was Brian. And he has this attitude about Ethan:
And anyway, you don't get jealous when two puppies frolic. You cock your head, think, "Aww, isn't that precious," then when they're all tuckered out, you pick your mutt up and go home.
And I find that tremendously appealing.
So, If you hadn't read this and want to go here (starts from 2x20 and branches off from there): http://toolunaticsnwon.com/html/myrna_s_fiction.html
It is the the "If You Needed Me" series and start at the beginning. No skipping. It is important not to skip. Now, don't be put off by the titles - sure they are sappy, but that is the only really sappy thing about this fic. It is like the anti-thesis of sap. For a tumor-fic. Yes, I am serious. Who are you looking at?
Meanwhile, everytime I turn around, Justin is getting hurt.
seperis is writing a just wonderful post season 3 WIP, and she is writing it really fast, but lately it has been more painful than usual to be Justin. Which is saying something.
