sweetprinceMidterms are over for me, thank god! As has become fashionable in Generation Kill fandom, I have decided to do a snippet post. You are welcome to post a picture for any fandom I write in (SPN, Generation Kill, RPF, Glee, Never Back Down) and I will respond with fic. The two fics I have in the works are frightening me, but I am in a mood to write.

Date: 2009-10-15 04:16 am (UTC)Brad and Nate caught up in Victorian Politics
Date: 2009-10-16 04:42 am (UTC)They don’t have much time alone. Just the few bare hours they can scrape together in Nate’s rented room in Cheapside and then Nate has to return to his wife and young son and pretend he doesn’t know Brad beyond mutual invitations to the club and run-ins at the theater. Brad lives with this, because there’s no other way to be. He sometimes thinks that Nate would love to live like Edward Carpenter, throw all this aside, set up right next door in Millthorpe, but they would only render themselves impotent. Nate is Gladstone’s man and perhaps one day he will run for Prime Minister. They can’t pitch it all away. Not to mention the hell Brad went through to get elected as an MP as a mere ward of the Colberts and not their actual son.
But whatever Nate’s thoughts, he is also endlessly practical, and he never says he will leave his wife. Throw their carefully constructed into the Thames like so much trash. It’s just a look he gets in his eyes. He turns his head to face Brad, and Brad simply knows what’s running through his head. But now he is not thinking of any of that. He sweeps a hand through his hair and levels his gaze on Brad. “Bradley, why are you still dressed?”
Nate pulls a chair out from the rickety old desk and sits upon it, legs crossed, determined to wait. He’s dispensed with his weskit and pocket watch, and the fine linen of his shirt from a better tailor than Brad ever bothers with is torn at the neck. He is going to make Brad strip before him and then he’s going to run his mouth down every plane of Brad’s skin. That is the look in his eyes.
Brad quirks a grin. “What think you of the Cockburn Commission’s findings?” He unbuttons his collar and sets aside his coat.
“That parliament should decriminalize trade unions?” Nate says, leaning his chin on his fist and taking in Brad’s movements. His cheeks are flushed even though the room is drafty at best.
“Does it not rankle that Salisbury’s government will introduce this reform and we will yet again be made to look like fools?” Brad unbuttons his smalls and pulls his shirt tails free.
Nate sighs, eyes on his hands. “Just so, but it takes a meaner man than I not to admit that we desperately need it.”
Brad shakes his head, pulling his shirt off and tossing it at Nate. “You astonish me.”
“Oh?” Nate raises his eyes back up to Brad’s face. “That I can talk of politics before your nakedness? You brought the subject up, but I might add that it has been several days since I have been able to converse with one who shares so many of my opinions.” He grins and re-crosses his legs. “You should join me for brandy at the club, and then I could empty my mind of everything but you.”
Brad kicks off his boots. “Dangerous,” he says, taking a moment with his soft trousers, watching as Nate sinks his teeth into his lower lip. “You stare at me, my lord.” Nate has always been able to find his gaze, to meet it, to convey perhaps more than words, and it has always been a distraction. Nate, bloody obstinate, knows it.
But now he gets to his feet. “Do not ‘my lord’ me, Brad, not here,” he says, closing the last few feet of space between them. Brad hides a smile and accepts his kiss. With Nate’s hand at the back of his head, his mouth brushing across Brad’s, and the feeling that wells up in Brad every time they do this, even Brad occasionally entertains thoughts of moving to Millthorpe. Nate’s teeth scrape over his lower lip and his fingers drag down Brad’s spine. A moan jerks out of him, unbidden. Before he knew Nate and his arresting laugh and bright eyes, there was only the thrill of change, and the power behind it. Now, occasionally, something in him aches, wishes he could’ve met Nate at a card party or a trifling tea dance. The two things he loves most are mutually exclusive and he cannot find the strength in himself to give up either.
Nate has this strength. And it scares him.
Re: Brad and Nate caught up in Victorian Politics
Date: 2009-10-16 06:29 am (UTC)The premise is so TRAGIC yet completely fitting ;_____; I love the transposition of their canon relationship into this setting, how it amplifies the *forbidden nature*, and that Brad is sort of at Nate's mercy here and the fear that comes along with that trust. On a shallow note, Brad stripping for Nate! \o/ And Nate calling him Bradley! And the language is PERFECT, I would read volumes of this. Seriously, awesome job, thank you so so much! ♥ ♥ ♥
P.S. Your icon is mesmerizing and I kept scrolling up to stare while typing this comment, haha. /collarbone fetish

Re: Brad and Nate caught up in Victorian Politics
Date: 2009-10-16 01:27 pm (UTC)But, the story, I meant partially that Brad was at Nate's mercy, but partially also that Nate would be willing to give up everything for Brad, or conversely, give Brad up for everything. Which Brad did not feel he had the personal fortitude to do.
But yeah, I could write pages and pages of this. Their first meeting, their first sexual encounter, angry political sex--why did you vote against my resolution and so on.
