I am with you on d/s not being my thing, but I think it's because it's really hard to get JUST RIGHT. I will read anything that gets anything JUST RIGHT, you know? And this story TOTALLY FITS THAT BILL. The bit at the end where esca is curled up on the couch and he gives marcus a little smile and marcus knows its his real esca again made my stomach do that swoopy thing. ugh, i love fucked up pairings, but somehow this story takes all the potential fucked-up-ness and turns it in to something they both want and can give each other.
...this is way more eloquent than my actual comment over there, which was impeded by MASSIVE FLAILING.
So true. Good D/s totally works for me when it's right, but it's so rarely right. Except sometimes, a story like this comes along and HITS EVERY BUTTON I'VE EVER HAD. The moment when Marcus has his mouth on Esca and Esca breaks character to say that he was going to like this = inability to form words on my part.
I managed to scrape up together enough of the English language to leave her vaguely coherent feedback, but my initial response was garbled sounds and keyboard-mashing. *hands*
Ahhh, Channing Tatum. I heart you. More than him being attractive, I like that he's obviously SUCH a great guy. I dig it.
D/s works for me in a very limited capacity. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that very often D/s is paired with humiliation that is cruel in nature, and I'm just not down with sex where one person is getting off on degrading the other. I like D/s where there's an undercurrent of affection, where it's clearly enjoyable for both.
Nice guys really do it for me these days. I'm less impressed by assholes than I used to be, and Channing is such a sweet, friendly guy. I adore how nice he is.
Most of the D/s I've read just makes me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable because I can't see the trust between both characters and thus, cannot understand why Character A would let Character B do that to them. No matter how well-written and kinky something is, if there is no trust and affection between the characters, it doesn't work for me.

I need an icon, I think. Gah. Even though this Rome one works pretty well. *g*

Hee! Any icon that talks about penetration and books is a good icon to have.

Have you ever seen Rome? ACTUALLY AS GAY AS THE EAGLE.

I tried watching Rome and just couldn't get into it. But I'm thinking I want to try again.

Nnnngh, Channing. He's mostly adorkable, but he is also stupidly hot. And looks amazing in suits when he wears them.
