It's *because* I love Fraser the best

[schmerica]

So DS Match just started over at ds_flashfiction yesterday -- four stories so far! Lots of awesomeness! You should go over and vote for TEAM ANGST BECAUSE IT RULES, yay!

The thing is that actually when I think about it this is probably the first I've really been reading dS fic since I got into bandom, and, uh. Perhaps reading the really well-written Team Angst fic where Ray Kowalski is a huge asshole and breaks Fraser's heart into a MILLION TINY PIECES to be with Ray Vecchio -- aka, everything that truly does scar me in due South fic and hurts me happens -- wasn't my best idea ever? Just maybe?

(It is very good, though! If you don't have my exact issues, I rec it! Go vote!)

Of course, it did lead to this conversation with ficbyzee:

ficbyzee: I'm sorry sweetie!
ficbyzee: maybe afterwards Fraser finds Gerard and Gerard comforts him.

pearl_o: heeeee.
pearl_o: I ... can't quite imagine that/

ficbyzee: ....me neither, actually.

pearl_o: it would have to be totally gen.

ficbyzee: *giggles*

pearl_o: Maybe with cookies involved.

ficbyzee: otherwise it would be like sleeping with yourself.

pearl_o: heeeee.
pearl_o: ...now I want Fraser + Gerard gen. With cookies! And tea and coffee, respectively!

Anyway, back to my fluffy bunny fandom! It's kind of weird that I went and read Pete/Mikey to cheer up, considering that it is not a pairing known for happy endings, but it's weirdly comforting. Especially since I know they get Alicia and Patrick in the end.

Things that I love and want more of:

+ Gerard/Lyn-Z (pictures AND fic, man)
+ Mikeyway has always been a girl
+ Wee!Ways gen
+ Gerard talking about musicals
+ Everything that is over the top and melodramatic and banter-filled and self-indulgent in the WORLD

In some ways, they would make such good buddies! They could hang out and respect women together. And compare makeup tips. Of course it would all fall apart when Fraser tried to get Gerard to go outside during the daytime...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Not to mention talk about saving lives!

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Oh Pearl. I know. That fic was wonderful and so hurty, and it broke poor Fraser into a million bajillion pieces. So...yeah, maybe not the best sort of read when you're already invested in bandom. But! There are other stories coming up! Stories of tenderness and trust and love! And Fraser is happy in those stories, I promise!

Mikeyway and his boobs cannot detract from that!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* You know I am going to read them all still, darling! There is so much awesomeness to come! How could I resist? FRASER <3<3<3<3.

Also, you silly: even as a girl, mikeyway doesn't really have a rack!

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

In my weird half-formed impressions of bandom are anything to go by, girl!Mikeyway has HUGE bazoombas. You're just not looking, Pearl!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aww, see, Nos, I know you've seen the pictures of mikeyway: lesbian (http://pearl-o.livejournal.com/901986.html?thread=8775778#t8775778). She is rocking the a-cup.

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

Yes yes, but we're talking fantasy girl!Mikeyway, and in my fantasy (s)he is...like, a DD. Poor girl would have some back issues but she'd be really popular at parties.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha. I admire your strong imagination!

[feelingcold.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, when I listen to a song from a musical, I imagine Gerard and I singing along. Together. With much glee.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. There is NO BAD TO BE HAD THERE.

where Ray Kowalski is a huge asshole and breaks Fraser's heart into a MILLION TINY PIECES to be with Ray Vecchio -- aka, everything that truly does scar me in due South fic and hurts me happens

I saw your comment over on the posted story and had to sit on my hands since we're not allowed to remark over there - but this is me nodding my head vigorously and kind of hating RayK right along with you. *sniffle* How could he DO that??? *wail*

God, it was so well-written that even as it was reaching in and squeezing my poor heart to pulp I could. not. look. away. And then the last scene killed me dead, so I shouldn't be able to feel anything at all, and yet...! :(

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I had totally missed the rule about not being allowed to comment on stories, because I'm an idiot -- I had to go and delete my angst comments. But yes: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Oh! I finally realized you mean Gerard-from-bandom. I read this first and was thinking Fraser and Gerrard, WTF?

[zeenell]

....you know, my mind went to BAD places.

and not even the fun BAD places, but the bad places reserved for stuff like "What if Bush declares a state of emergecy which suspends the voting processs and gets to be president for another term and and...."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee. That happened to me ALL THE TIME for the six months or so before I got into this fandom.

[starfishchick]

I can't read that DS story. I would be so broken!!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aww. I normally love getting broken! It's just, I have some very very specific buttons, and this totally hit them. Sigh.
