These Old Shades

I think (if I say so myself *g*) that as a first experience at working on a joint fic project heathcee and myself have come up with an awfully good one.

I love this fic and the Samhain feeling it has to it. And I totally loved working with Heath, though she had to put up with some dreadful mail spamming from me. And I'm glad you convinced me to go on YM, ♥ loves you ♥
What about doing a Stormy one next?

The disappearing book that was the source of inspiration for this is called
"Point of dreams"

And our fic is
"Ghost tide"

A huge thank you to cinzia for her help in making me see Sean as Macbeth *hugs you*

and am curious to see if the subject line rings a bell to anyone here

*Squeeeeee* L'idea è bella e la fiction...è stupendaaaaa! Grazie girls! :))

Mi piace da matti come si muovono Viggo e Sean nei confronti
dei personaggi/alter-ego (li vedo più così, non come fantasmi
ma come una parte di Viggo e Sean ancora in cerca di 'fusione'..non so se ha un senso *g*)
Btw, mi chiedevo proprio dov'era finito Mellors! ;)

Il libro mi incuriosisce...sarà uscito in italia? Farò ricerche.

Sono loro ma sono anche qualcun'altro.. è questo che volevi dire? A volte diventa difficile distinguere, e se è così x noi mi immagino cosa non deve essere x loro entrare e uscire dai personaggi.

Figurati se non ci mettevamo Mellors ;) ;) ;)

mh, ho i miei dubbi che il libro sia stato tradotto ma tentar non nuoce

Io la vedo così...i personaggi recitati da Viggo e Sean, hanno cmq fatto parte della loro vita, seppur per un periodo + o - breve. Nella fic, è come se prendessero vita semplicemente x tentare di condividere anche il loro 'essere coppia'. E quindi abbiamo i personaggi di Vig che tentano di sedurre Sean e viceversa. Mmmmm...temo che tutte queste belle ff e la visione doppia di When Saturday Comes abbiano definitivamente killato i miei due neuroni solitari, sorry. *g* XoXo

*squuee*
ti è arrivato allora!
notevole il ragazzo, vero?

[kinseymill.livejournal.com]

Notevole davvero! :) Mi piace da matti tutto il film, pure il soundtrack. Sto cercando disperatamente su winmix, ma nisba!

Sean ha spesso gli occhietti lucidi e uno splendido sorriso. Può essere che il personaggio di Jimmy sia simile a com'è lui in realtà?

Peccato la pessima qualità della VHS, tralaltro audio bassissimo, per poco ho fatto venire l'infarto alla vecchietta del piano di sotto, nel passaggio VCR/TV. *g*

Will save and read the fic asap, but wanted to say that Point of Dreams is one of my favourite books (along with its prequel Point of Hopes), besides, Nico and Eslingen are Bodie and Doyle avatars ;)

*squees*
You know the book!!
Great one, I haven't read the prequel (picked this up more or less randomly, just because the cover and synapsis intrigued me, during one of my Amazon binges). Have you read Armour of light? It looks a beauty but is not available *sighs*

And I never thought of it but you're right... Bodie and Doyle way back *g*
Isn't it precious when Eslingen moves in?

[phantomas.livejournal.com]

I know it and love it, yes :)
(both books)

It's brilliant the way in which Rathe and Philip's relationship is in the background, but comes up with small sentences and the odd thought, while in their actions is obvious that they think about each other all the time.
I would love to have more, allegedly there is another book in the writing, I've been keeping my fingers crossed for a long time now :)

I haven't read Armour of light, but is not in the Points series, is it? Not as far as I know.

And as far as rumours go in the fandom (but if you a B&D fan, it's quite clear;) one or both of the authors used to be in the fandom. The physical descriptions and the background of the two men are self explanatory;)

That a book picked randomly and SeanVig slashed loops back to Pros slash is beautifully scary. Samhain concidences I guess *g*
Thanks for sharing that piece of info, I'm already itching to reread it with Bodie and Doyle in mind ;)

Nope, Armour of light is not in the Point of series. It's AU set in Elizabeth I's reign and apparently has miraculously undead Kit Marlowe and Philip Sidney, which for an English lit major sounds like a dream come true

[phantomas.livejournal.com]

I will finally be able to read the story today :)

Beautifully scary, indeed. Personally, since I joined the Pros fandom (some 6 years ago) so many things have either changed or *strangely* happened, I am not much surprised anymore ~g~

(like crossing my path with Martin Shaw/Doyle exactly the day I was going to sign up finally for my PhD ~g~)

There is another interesting book Swordpoint , if you can find it, not B&D avatars imo, but a canonically, twisted, crazy male couple (one a mysterious scholar on the run, the other a sword-man voted to dueling for money). Good reading, imo.

Armour of light ..I will look for it. Sounds intriguing! Me, I have been plotting a angsty and very sad slash story/unrequited love story between Shakespeare and Marlowe for a while now duck and runs away very fast!

Artist’s hands. Painter’s hands, Sean thinks. Always paint spattered … with dirty nails. Not that he minds. Sean can't get enough of Viggo's hands… ever. Sean closes his eyes and wishes Viggo home, wishes Viggo here, wishes Viggo's warm and callused fingers right now digging into his hips as he ..
*snorts* Was /so/ surprised to see this in a fic of yours.... *giggles* Love your for your fetish with love of Viggo's hands....

Loved this whole piece. *hugs*

*giggles*
Proudly admits being guilty of Viggo's hands worship (*drools*) but that para was actually written by Heath... I do think we were somehow separated at birth.

and I know I wrote something almost identical in beta'ing your VigOrli *giggles some more*
