Beauty (also slashiness and some Brontes)

This enchanted beauty actually moved me to read Wuthering Heights at the time. Also, this was the main way I liked guys before the Winchesters came into my life.

When I finished the book, I was kinda lost - no idea what the appeal was, why I'd just read that, and what was going on with the mood changes and genre changes and why I was expected to be rooting for their love and just a big WHAT . I guess with time and with trying to be supportive of Twilight fans, and with loving fucked up relationship stories myself, and being kinda intrigued with masculinity in the story, perhaps I have a better understanding of that now? Slightly better? If you like it and feel like showing me the awesome, I want to see.

Anyway, at the time, this made me feel vindicated:


Back to the beautiful Noel and the guys getting flustered over him!
The long version - awesome and delightfully slashy feedback. If you don't have the patience for the who thing, skip to that.

And the second version. if you don't feel like watching the whole thing you might want to jump to 02:00 - that's Noel's BFF and very... very slashy partner. Slashy like comparing their relationship to falling in love. Slashy like Noel saying he's read slash about giving him a blowjob and had to touch himself. Slashy like that.

We've talked before about how I love Stockholm syndrome fic, but hate fic that essentially gives a character Stockholm syndrome and calls it true love. I feel like the same kind of distinction is at work here. Wuthering Heights is dark fic that knows it's dark fic. Twilight is fic that thinks it's being romantic when it's actually being creepy.

*on board*
I definitely agree about the distinction, and I like and dislike both of those too :)
