The Duel

[errantknightess]

Don't know why I haven't posted this earlier. My first fanfiction AND first slash ever, proving that Err is a dirty little hipster, because who on Earth writes slash fics for Lord of The Dance? Well, someone had to utilize the Foe Yay potential, and if two guys (one shirtless) dancing together isn't slashy enough, then I don't know what is. Besides

Ok, do you see the icon? Take note of the icon. I feel more or less like that right now: utterly awed. You said not to get my hopes up, but even if I had (though I've never read a fic like that, so I didn't know WHAT to expect of it) it wouldn't have mattered, because this would've exceeded them.

There's something utterly mesmerizing about dancing - something so very sensual, intimate, hot. There's a reason everyone expects dancing partners to end up together - if there's no chemistry, there's no art, and chemistry understandably alleviates boundaries. And if we add the primal, folk drums to the mix, well then, the ending product is usually impossible to describe, gripping, hypnotizing. Which is exactly what happened here, from the very first sentence. The drums beat throghout the entire piece. The tension keeps rising. The atmosphere gets hotter and hotter. It's... gaaaah. Unf. Amazing

Haha! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I'm bouncing here like the Lord of the Dance himself; your praise makes me a little green Irish ball of joy :D I was worried that after a year of laying around on my hard drive this text has lost its impact, but all these things you write here are exactly what I wanted it to convey - I'm so glad you feel all of this! And that you like it

Well, you needn't have worried, I was positively mystified.

I absolutely want to go to a performance now. I've always wanted to, actually, but never this strongly. I enjoy folk quite a lot, so I'd love more recs of this sort - I'm always ready for new music! You can feel proud now ;)

I do feel proud :D I also feel like heartlessly linking you to a bunch of my favourite tunes and vids to help the seed of folk love grow strong. May I? *puppy eyes*
