if we could avoid writing fic in which basically nice, decent people are suddenly ABUSIVE ASSHOLES*, I would really appreciate it.

with a moue of distaste,

*please feel free to replace "ABUSIVE ASSHOLE" with any of the following: Randomly Evil, ZOMG DARK AND TORTURED, "Morally Ambiguous" (when morally ambiguous just means self-centered dick. i.e., 90% of the time), Self-Hating Queer/Woman/Person of Color, Child Molester, etc.

Oh dude, I read that story! The self-centered closeted asshole Gerard story. Ugh.

This is the face I am making right now: :(((((((

Dude, was it the one where Ray is a HUGE ASS PUSHOVER, but there was no other Ray/Gerard and I found myself sucked in anyway?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Probably! Did it involve Gerard's emotional fuckedupedness making Ray puke every night?

Poss...ibly? Was there throwing of glassware in fits of passive aggressive rage?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Is it bad that I kind of want to re-read it now?

[missmollyetc.livejournal.com]

Not in the slightest! I have the urge myself sometimes! Only, then I start, and I have to quit because of the rage. As of now, however, it's really the only thing going re: Gerard/Ray. And you can't say it doesn't bring the emotional porn when needed, because it's got that in spades.
