So it's happened. I have become a total m/m slash addict. And I don't even care what that means. If it really HAS to mean anything anyway...
Oh well. Whatever. So I had practically memorized all the VC fanfics I could find, quite some time ago, and now I seem to have moved into the realm of LOTR. Even though I haven't read the books themselves yet (which in a way saves me from the sad conclusion that some fanfics are better than "the original";))...
And today I pick up Tanith Lee's Night's Master - for a change, so to speak - and right in the first chapter I come upon the following astounding fragment: "(...) Azhrarn pondered the adult virgin beauty of his guest(...), caressing the ivory body, and combing with his fingers the amber hair he had cherished. The youth lay dumbfounded by ectasy beneath the Demon's touch." And on and on it goes, ending as follows: "The body of the mortal leaped and flamed and shattered in a million shudderings of unbelievable delight(...). He sank back in delirium with the taste of night, Azhrarn's mouth, upon his own."
So it's not even me looking for slash anymore - it's slash looking for me.:)) Whatever that means...
And as if all of that wasn't already quite enough, I just died right now listening to my new CD: Marc Almond's Open All Night. It killed me softly on the spot, one song after another. I am transfixed, mesmerized and catapulted into a wholly different reality.;)) (as if I hadn't been there already for quite some time.....) It's just painfully perfect: oh-so-romantic, oh-so-decadent and OH-SO-GAY... Don't get me wrong: I fully realize that at least some fragments of it are totally, shamelessly cheesy. But the point is that I don't care! I LLLOVE IT!!!!!!! It sends me floating somewhere beyond the clouds, and that's all that really matters to me...
(By the way, it may not be a full-blown masterpiece like Enchanted, but it seems even better suited to my current frame of mind. Just the titles (not to mention the lyrics) of some tracks are enough: Night & Dark, Black Kiss, Scarlet Bedroom, Sleepwalker, Midnight Soul... Mmmmm... delicious. My Orpheus in red velvet... ::bows down in worship:: And how in hell can I possibly just go to sleep tonight???)
