do you feel it?

[phineasjones]

::looks around in trepidation:: hackthis didn't kill anyone, did she?

dude, my mood didn't just swing, it pulled a complete about-face. i am so happy right now, it's disgusting. i just walked into town, had some lunch, bought a much-needed key chain, sat in the sun and read... lovely. as i was walking in, i thought to myself, i hope i bump into someone i know. ... i can't remember the last time i had such a thought. it's extremely reassuring to know i have not become a complete hermit. i said hello to numerous strangers, chatted with the haymarket guy about my shoes, and, indeed, ran into someone i know. we chatted, caught up, exchanged numbers. i am so totally social.

and. i was reading silver on the tree and holy bejeezus, i thought the grey king was slashy!
He whirled about, staring around him on the mountain; delight was singing all through him, he scarcely knew that the others were there. Except one of them.
"Bran?" he said. "Bran? Do you feel it - do you - " He flapped one hand impatiently as he found he had no words; but then looked and knew that he needed none, from the rapt astonishment on Bran's pale face. The Welsh boy too turned, looking out over the mountains, out at the sky, as if hunting for something, trying to hear a voice calling. Will laughed aloud, to see the reflection of the same indefinable joy that flooded his own mind.
Jane, behind them, watching, sense the intensity of their feeling and was afraid of it.
... and then they go off into the sunset together. ahaha. either marriage or some really good symbolic sex. did you catch cooper's use of the appositive, 'the welsh boy.' dude, told ya she's a slasher.

did you catch cooper's use of the appositive, 'the welsh boy.' dude, told ya she's a slasher.

I didn't know that was called the appositive (or if I did, I had forgotten.) Funny to see it used in one of my favorite fantasy novels, because I usually hate that construction when I run across it in fic. Particularly "the taller/smaller man" - it always gives me a mental image of two guys with a dramatic height difference, like a hobbit and a human. Which can really ruin the moment.

But that's a great quote from the book! Perhaps you're already familiar with this - kestrelsan's Dark is Rising Fanfiction Links, I think the most complete list of DiR fic, particularly Will/Bran.

the dark-haired man. the american. the older man. blah blah blah! names are good. i like names.

yeah, i was pretty surprised to see her do it too... but it just fits with the ultra-slashiness that is will and bran somehow.

and oooh! thank you for the linkage. i'm almost done this last book and then i get to attack the fic. ::bookmarks::

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*grabs you and squeals and twirls you around*

You've finished, and converted, and I am so happy I could melt right now. :)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

eeee!!!

actually i'm still only halfway through. (a little premature strolling off into the sunset there). but yes, all the same i'm converted and convinced and cannot WAIT to start reading the fic.

and yeah, i was sort of... like... why bother with the fic? they are soinlove and it's not even angsty enough to write... but then today i got it. it just clicked. yeah. i want to read and read and read about them.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Then let me pimp myself out, yeah? ;)

Arcadia. In the 'fanfic' section under 'dark is rising'...obviously....

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

yay for the self-pimping! i was totally planning to check out your stuff anyway. :) ::bookmarks::

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I've written a full 50% of everything in DiR fandom, but still. ;)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

ahaha. yeah, so i gather. which is a thumbs up for me, as i am a fan. *g*

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

hee! you're so sweet. :)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

omg, i have absolutely no impulse control and just read while shepards watched and gosh darn if that wasn't the sweetest thing EVER. i loved it. i like my sugar straight up thank you very much. oh, just loved it. yes. i think i need to go finish the book _right now_.

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Hee!!

Might I recommend Light Breaks? Sappy lemony stuff. It's the best lemon I've ever written, so I don't mind pimping it to people. ;)

Otherwise known as Ash Trying To Be Ivy, but whatever. ;)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

right. so i went and read this and spoiled the bejeezus out of myself and... it was totally worth it. it's sooooo beautiful. and yeah, it is kind of ivy-like in that way that all the physical-ness and the sex is entirely meaningful and important. which is my favorite thing about ivy.

thanks for reccing yourelf here, you've hooked me.

Oh yeah, that's why I thought it was slashy before I knew what slashy was! Good god. I've got to read those last two again.

And, wheeeee!! you're feeling better!! You just missed your carry-aroundable friend, is all, and needed a little chat with her. Nothin' to it. Yep, the phone is your friend. *g* Or something. But yayyay! for social and feeling good and everything!
::dances about::

(and, um, omg, you wrote me fic! which I haven't read yet bc I'm saving it to be the last of my open windows to read when I get home. eeeeee!!! more squees to come tomorrow when I've read it!!! Thank you!! ::kisses::)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

yes! it was just that i needed to talk to you! of course! how silly of me.

yes, and i clipped the above passage. there was much much more slashiness.

and eee! read your schmoopfic! it's really short.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

hey! you never commented on YOUR fic! >.<

also, am so sucked in to will/bran. nnnnyyyaaaah. so otp, so mfeo. so angsty but with the possibility of happiness. ::loves::

[jrivka.livejournal.com]

the only bad part is that they're twelve. makes me feel dirty.

but dude. soinlove. SOINLOVE.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

i don't care at all that they're twelve. they won't be twelve forever, after all. and they're both such old souls. almost all the fic i've found has them aged up anyway.

okay. you win. i concede defeat.
