It seems there comes a point in a person's life when all the excitement and craziness just isn't worth it anymore. Glad the Flandus didn't take you out of the story or anything. I debated not putting that in there, but in my head, this is pretty much the bastard stepchild of "Fucken' Brilliant," and if I hadn't put it there, a time might come in the story where I'll have needed the foreshadowing.
I was sorta worried about this one (as worried as I get about this fic, which isnt much). it seems one thing to say X and Y fucked. It's another to say "this is what shaped X's personality, this is the way he thinks about his sexuality, this is the person he is behind all the characters." It got pretty personal. Glad it worked for you, and that you liked that about it.
The Reedus thing /had/ to be put in there. 'Cause y'know? It's less fun to imagine a world where they wouldn't have at least experimented with it. They are the anti-OTP, but I can see them as fuck-buddies.
Glad the "little prick" didnt poke you out of the story.
And throwing the Norman in there was brilliant. Just a snippet of background that spoke volumes of Sean's previous dissatisfaction with his "relationships" with so-called "actor types".
I imagine a relationship with Norman being exciting in the way driving downhill on a mountain road in a car with no brakes is exciting. Not that Norman would be a bad person, or wouldn't try, but like his passions would run very intense but easily distracted.
Dave's very down-to-earth, very comfortable in the serenity of his life. The Sean in my head is ready for that sort of thing.
haha everyone's already said this more eloquently than me, but I just had to add that I loved the little bit of Flandus in there. Not because I love flandus (because I do) but because yes, it ties in to Sean's previous lovers, artists etc, as you said. And they are the anti-OTP. And now I've just read your comment above - that being with Norman would be like driving downhill in a car on a mountain road with no breaks. Norman seems like a totally focused, passionate, slightly crazed person. I could see it being all too easy to be swept away by that all, unless you're as strong as Sean appears to be.
And I love love love sleepy boys. They are just adorable.
Keep writing, this is just...it's like a verbal warm cup of tea in the middle of winter. :)

Sleepy Dave is just as good as Sleepy Sean.

Dont't think I didn't see the Flandus, it's nice that he like this domesticity more though.

The mood you create with your words definitely has that "early-morning, but comfortable and full of affection" kind of feel.
I like how you got into Sean's head about the kind of guys he's dated and why, and how this is different for him.
Also love the bit about how he was worried he had morning breath. That's a nice detail, insight into his character, something "real".
And, you had to throw this in there:
nothing of the frantic "is this the last one before he goes back to the mother of his son?" feel that his encounters with Reedus tended to have.
^ That stung a bit. A little prick amongst the overall softness of the fic. Keeps the reader on her toes.
Nice chapter. :)

^ That's the kind of stuff that keeps me interested. I'm not really one for fucking or fluff just for the sake of fucking or fluff.
There have to be real characters with some level of depth to hold my attention.

^ Aye, it did. I really like the way you handled it. Nothing distracting or heavy-handed, but it really spoke volumes about what their fling was like.

^ The occasional poke from a prick can't be anything but good, IMO. ;p
