What the hell is with me writing JC so much lately?

Ah, well. Here's something. It's a little different from my usual style, I think, but I could be just fooling myself.

Concrete Park

...I don't get it. Man, I feel stupid. But somehow I still manage to love it? There's something going on, I think maybe I know but I don't know, and it's all smooth and nasty and smooooooth, yes, I like it a lot. The characters, little brief flashes like biographies, it's perfect.

couldyoumaybe explain it to me? because I'm stupid. see the icon?

Thank you for not getting it. Because I didn't either, though I did really like it and I think I know what's going on, but....*sigh*

*g* Neither of you are stupid. My sister didn't get it either. She suggested that if I called it "peer therapy, *nsync style" it might make it more clear.

Perhaps I should revise it to explain that it's their own fucked-up form of therapy more. It was an experiment, after all. Vague!fic is harder than it looks, yo!

Thank you both for commenting--I totally appreciate it. You're absolute dears. *snug*

gave. me. chills.

awesome.

Alcohol melts through Lance's niceness like it's rice paper.

And this? The poetics? And the raw? So much with the good. So, so much with the good in this story.

Prettiest, excepting Lance and the alcohol sinking through him:
When Joey's done Lance goes, and he's talking too low for us to make out half of it, but Justin gets it all. Mostly because he was there already, he was on that page, he's been reading ahead.

And nope, I don't think I got it entirely either, but then, that doesn't really matter. I zoomed in on the 'sinking his fingers into' bit of it, imagining they were maybe fingering each other while talking to take each other down to the raw essentials. Something about making the recipient as open and helpless as possible. A trust and bonding thing. I liked the thought.

*giggle* I think I like that mental picture as well. Let's go with that, shall we?

Thank you for the feedback, honey! You're a charm.
