nnyI'm reading a fic on someone's journal right now, and it's got a header with Jack/Ennis, and the text says a love that will/never grow old. And I'm like... heh, you may be right, but it will grow a poorly judged mustache...
I dunno. Where do you stand on Happily Ever Afters? What's your ultimate one? Argument's sake, the greatest love story ever told is Romeo and Juliet, even though I hate hate hate that designation, purely because there was never time for the bloom to fade from the rose, as the clichés'd have it.
Me? I like Happily Ever Afters, so long as there's snarking. I'm a romantic of a queer sort. I like happy endings where no one admits that there're feelings involved, where there is much huffing and talk of putting up with each other, where people gravitate towards each other even if only so they can bitch. I like equality and co-dependence, I like a little uncertainty on both sides, I like bull-dozing with a layer of trepidation carefully hidden.
(Mostly, at the moment, I like John/Rodney. *grins* Also? Red wine.)
How 'bout you?

"Don't believe in it." A flash of blue eyes - almost black - and white teeth in a freckled face. Red hair curling a little, darkened with sweat at the temples.
" - it?" Monosyllables are all he can manage.
"Never." A thumb slips across his nipple almost carelessly, almost like it hadn't been planned, but he's being watched too closely for that. "Nothing lasts forever, not even 'no'."
He lets his eyes slide shut, believes it safer, but it just means he has no defences when breath followed by lips ghost softly across his mouth. It's harder to deny when you can't speak.
But he twists his head away, contrary to the last, tone of voice almost begging to be proved wrong.
"Won't," he manages.
Another flash of teeth, presumably, closing too tightly on his earlobe. Making him suck in a breath and arch his head back, a little.
"Believe me. You will."
