I've been trying to read Close Your Eyes by sonofabiscuit77, who(whom?)I adore by the way, because she writes (and hopefully will write more of) my fav OC ever, not to mention some of the best, most amazing AUs ever--but I *can't*! I've been reading it in bits because it features infidelity in a way that makes me want to cower under the blankets. But I have a very low omgeepohno threshold. The story is amazing, mind you, and so very, very interesting! It features Dean in a way that's pretty fucking unique but also makes sense for the story. I like it. I'm going to finish it because there's no way I can't. Just...eep. I can't see this ending good for anybody, least of all me, hah!! *pulls blanky over her head and snags all the kleenix*


Isn't BB time the *best*?

Well, fuck! I was being all curious and went ahead and clicked the link, and lo and behold there's Alan Rickman's face staring back at me, and I cannot resist that man for the life of me, so I dl'd the pdf of the story and started reading, and now I'm fucking invested cos it's so damn good, and it's all your fault for distracting me and giving me good things to read!

Hmmph! XD *huggles*

I read this one because I absolutely adore sonofabiscuit77's writing style. Seriously, that girl can write. This story was no exception, but the content made me feel all ishy. I have a pretty hardcore infidelity!kink, so that wasn't the issue, it was Sam.

I don't want to spoil if you aren't done, but his characterization towards the end didn't seem very Sam. That being said, it's based on a movie so I get the impression that had more to do with the basic plot of the movie than it did Sam.

The World's Forgotten Boys needs to be finished so I can read it. I'm very much not ok with committing to any new WIPs. :(

Oh Roxy, you make me feel so guilty!!!

I have to admit that if I was reading it, I'm not sure I could've finished it. I didn't realise exactly how angsty it was.

I have to admit that I always get very surprised by this fandom's low tolerance of infidelity in fic, especially considering the popularity of underage or knotting or bestiality! But then again, infidelity is so normal and it's probably something that most of us have experienced personally, so I guess it hits really close to home. In this case, the infidelity plot is lifted straight from the original film and really brings home just how damaging the siblings' relationship is.

Anyway, I hope you like it by the time you finish! Though, I completely understand if it's too much, lol.
