Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4a/?]

[hyde_the_body]

The air is tense between them, now, while they are off-set, filled now with brief moments and tiny slip ups that neither of them would like to acknowledge. It seems to be by mutually unspoken agreement that they stay as far away from each other as possible.

It’s nearly impossible for the two actors, as all (or almost all) of their remaining screen time is shared. If they’re not blocking, they’re rehearsing together, or filming (but that doesn’t count, they tell themselves, because they aren’t really themselves then). Regardless, Michael and James are no longer attached by the hip, and people are starting to notice

There are little moments where James will forget something. He is not Charles in those moments, of that he is (fairly) certain. It would be tiny little things, like not remembering how a cell phone works, or something as equally trivial. He’ll be looking for his car, but will walk right on by it because he is looking for a make that has not been made for at least fifty years now. It’s always a little unnerving when he remembers forgetting.

It’s when he can’t remember his wife’s name, let alone that he’s married, that he knows he’s in trouble.

He’s being taken out for a night of pub crawling by Jennifer and Rose in order to unwind (and most certainly not wishing that Erik was there - Michael, he means Michael) when it happens. He hasn’t been drinking all that much, but there’s already a buzz in his head.

“So,” Rose starts, lowering her glass to the table. “How’s Anne-Marie?”
James (he is James, he has to be James he is certain that he is James) draws a complete blank

Oh, oh, oh!

This is spectacular.

All the little hints culminating in the powers finally bleeding over. And the forgetting. He definitely needs to find Michael.

Thank you anon! Michael will be up next, never you fear.

I WISH MICHAEL WERE THERE RIGHT NOW, TOO. EEEEEEE this is turning out awesome.

Re: Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4b/?]

[hyde_the_body]

Thank you Salva! Michael will be with us shortly.

Heh I am loving yours, as well. Whenever I see it around the meme, it makes me smile. It's insane how manly his tears are.

Re: Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4b/?]

[hyde_the_body]

But...it's just so manly. And hot. Because dammit, it's Michael Fassbender.

I just discovered this fill, and I never knew I needed this story in my life until now. It's so well done, and I'm conflicted about wanting to see how it turns out and never wanting it to end.

Re: Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4b/?]

[hyde_the_body]

I know, right? The only problem is I can't write forever. Trust me, if I could, I would. I hope you can settle for at least another 5 parts, and I'll try not to fudge or rush the ending. Sounds fair?

Re: Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4b/?]

[vawkin]

Another 5 parts? That sounds more than fair.

Re: Fill: Half Shame, Half Glory [4b/?]

[hyde_the_body]

XD Glad you like it dearest. I'll try to have the next part up in a few hours, so stay tuned.
