Recs and ponderation...
Jul. 17th, 2002 04:59 pmSo, read this story if you haven't already, Irreplaceable, by the irreplaceable Rhys.
It's a great story, hot of course, but it's much more than that. One of the things I especially like about it is the way Chris wavers back and forth in his assessment of JC and Justin's relationship. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read it, but there's one line that just embedded itself in my brain:
the idea that this wasn't new, that this was a huge fucking secret, a private love affair that involved two of the most beautiful guys Chris knew screwing each other
I love the idea behind it. A huge secret, a private love affair. I love the depth of feeling behind it, and I love the way Rhys bookended something romantic and private between "fucking" and "screwing."
But, yeah. I just so, so love that notion, but I'm not sure where or how to begin. But I'd love to write that story. I want to write that story.
