fic: here's my dress to try on/let me be your man (pre raphaelites)

Okay. What am I doing? Seriously, what? *shakes head*. This fucking around with history thing is getting out of hand. Or something. Not that I'm particularly ashamed of myself or anything. For what it's worth, the two poems Christina and Lizzie reference are meant to be "In an Artist's Studio" and "Goblin Market" respectively and Lizzie's version

I guarantee you, Gabe had said, his hand on her back, you chose the wrong word there

ROSSETTI, YOU AMAZING ASS, J'ADORE.

And obviously I love every bit of this in pieces and as a whole-I stand by my waxing-poetic about your Siddal, and as we know well, gender-blurry twinfucking is a favorite; I love that the line is blurred between Christina and Gabe and I love the maleness of the role she fulfills because of course Lizzie's going to look at her and see the bits that mirror Gabe. Also, sharp words and heated action and I think my favorite line might be She leans her head (glorious) down again and kisses her stomach , just because I really love the parenthetical. Basically: modern!AU forever amen.

(Totally not related, but: hee, Eva's face in your moodtheme. Be more adorable, Eva. And O how appropriate to have a Dreamers theme these days, innit?)

Eva loves us all. First incestuous OTP for most of us, I think.

Thank you so much, especially for appreciating the parenthetical.

Desperate Romantics was a complete bitch for eliminating Christina. It's not okay. I seriously just love her and her severity and the religion she doesn't seem to quite believe in and the gay overtones in her work and she must be included in all things. I think I've cast her as Andrea Riseborough, mostly, maybe Olivia Williams when she's older.

I will keep writing modern AU forever. Probably a mix soon, too, because you know that's actually how I got started? I was listening to a Marina and the Diamonds song, decided it was the most Siddal thing ever, didn't feel like I could put Marina in a period mix and then this sort of happened. I fail.

Oh, I love this! Might even rec it in my LJ, I think lots of my F-list (lots of geeky Oxonians) would like it.

[petitesmorts]

Oh, thank you!

And yeah, I'd love that. As long as they wouldn't be offended by my turning them into hipster modern photographers, ha. I'm a geek but I'm an irreverent one.
