I was hoping to have more prompts written up by this balmy madrugada, but instead I've been waiting for my Spanish presentation to finish uploading. I should be in bed. I have to be up in five hours ( Read more... )

1 this thematic strand that winds through your gago/higuain too -- sex that toes noncon.
2 wanting gabriella to find out
3 "I love you" to "don't worry, ex-Prince of Lazio, you're just my steady fuck"
4 cheapness

I list these because they break me to pieces too. T_T I don't think reading your take on a/z (laksj i keep switching it up) is too healthy for me -- in fact I feel the overwhelming urge to go like, gorge on applefic now for all the happy nesta/zlatan, and not this mutual hatefest in which Nesta really fucking hates on Zlatan and Zlatan might love on Nesta but pulls a 180 to twist the knife all the more painfully because he sees that yes, Nesta ... really fucking hates him. I keep making this observation to others, but your Nesta really, really, really seems to despise Z-- it's a serious resentment that isn't (as) present in other versions (well, in the beginning yes, but not so late in the relationship). which is pretty fascinating and visceral to read but uuugh. does not bode well for my long sought-after happy z/n. *fends ( ... )

Danica, you say everything I want to. And much better.

I love this, love this to bits, this interaction like shards of glass, brilliant, cruel, sharp, bloody. Walking on shards on the pavement glittering in the afternoon sun, and it makes you feel alive, that wonder of bleeding.

WHY DO YOU TWO KEEP FOLLOWING ME AROUND AND MAKING THESE COMMENTS TO MY FB??? This has got to be like, the 129879491st time since last year. Or maybe the 3rd.

but but but i don't want brilliant sharp bleeding. T_T_T_T_T this is an extreme version of how z/n could go, if you were to take nesta's ice princess image and extend it so far into his relationship with z as to generate hatred destruction selfdeception and just asfkjalksfa; for me, the happiness of this pairing hinges on what nesta is willing to allow, since i see him as being the one who's aloof, closed, etc etc, so this version of him is pretty much anathema to my desperately scrabbling romantic hahahaaaa. goddamnit. NOL, COME AND SAVE ME ;_____________;

If I tell you that in my heart of hearts I'm s silly romantic, will you laugh?

I have a habit of making the protagonists I love best suffer miserably in my writing. When I'm not busy writing crack about them, of course. But usually I end up making their black and white existences miserable, sepia drowned things.

You have a way of hitting so so hard. I can't really find words to explain what I mean but it's like you've taken off the top of nesta's head and peered in. Words aren't working for me at the moment but know that I really like this. The bit about gabriella that paints their relationship so neatly with so few words and the idea of wanting the excuse of her finding out. I love the image of nesta with his head in her lap, seeking solace before having to head out to the craziness that is his relationship with zlatan. You take stuff and you give it such gritty realism. "how much would Nesta have to bend this time?" aghdkjf i've said it about your writing on these two before, but there's this painful mutual destruction going on and you work it so well. And I love that you've taken ice prince nesta and pulled out this turmoil and almost self-hate. It adds a whole other dimension of fascinating-ness to the pairing.

Your feedback is always so much ♥ I want to go on and on about this and that and Gabriella and excuses and mutual destruction. But I've just been told I need to study for an exam, so I'll have to refrain for now. :( But ILU and might come back and comment spam you later.
