Soooooo, yeah. Apparently bad things happen when you attend exhibits on eroticism in Japanese art and literature, and then have conversations over coffee about said influence of Japonisme on Western culture at the turn of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. This insisted on being written, and I've published it, but it makes me very,very nervous. www.fanfiction.net/s/10667378/1/Pas-De-DeuxI worked very hard to get the voice correct, as the story is out there, but please let me know if you think I've completely gotten this wrong. **nervously awaits** |

I now know what those balls are, but I might need to do further 'research' so that it can really 'sink' in.
Anyway, it's fun watching William come undone. Julia really is a she-devil but in the best possible sense.

Ooooh! *fondly remembers idea of the Osaka honeymoon* But I'll take a little bit of Japonisme instead~ Unfortunately I have some work to do first - I'd better wait a few hours before anything involving Japonisme and William becoming undone.  |

You have work to do!? I have schoolwork that I should have been working on yesterday! Instead, I had to write this plot bunny that would not leave me alone! *glares at William and Julia* * especially at she-devil Julia* |

Couldn't resist. Clicked on it already. Regarding the intro - totally have a thing for that thing, too. |

Now I have a certain Duran Duran song as an earworm.  That story was pitch perfect! My only technical objection is how did Julia make it up those stairs? I'm not buying it!  I loved what William was worrying about all night. I also like considering why he didn't dance with her, lol. Chicken!  Perhaps there was too much grinning going on in the first part. I have to say what I like the best is how teasingly sexy it is without being some sort of technical instruction manual. Bonus points for having read/survived enough fanfic to not be saying stuff like "it felt like coming home~" Even better than the first story! |

I should confess I love that Duran Duran song.
Btw, CC's "other" great video provides nice references for what William looks like when he's really uncomfortable with a situation - particularly a risque one. Just in case anyone actually needs to be reminded.
Now we need a video of Julia in "evil seductress" mode. But we all know there were plenty of clips for that in Season 7.

Even if that horrible woman killed her kids to that song, and it makes me feel slightly guilty. But, it's not DD's fault, so I'm just going to continue to enjoy the song. Ooohh, can we get a vid of W/J to that song? |

Bonus points for having read/survived enough fanfic to not be saying stuff like "it felt like coming home~" Even better than the first story! LOL @ the stairs. It crossed my mind-it really did. But, I had been fiddling with it so much already, plus I had that bit about her staggering up the front walk and into the house, so I just left it. But, you should be happy-originally William carried her up the stairs, but I struck it because it was: a.) too fanfic cliche and b.) You know that hot scene from GWTW when Rhett carries Scarlett up the stairs for a night of passion? I've heard for years about how that was impossible, so out it went. You got her walking up the stairs instead-but I think that William did have to help her-maybe I should go back and convey that... That along with another exchange (where William explains why he was so pissy and territorial) have been bothering me a bit, so I might just go back and change them. I like them-I'm just thinking of adding a bit more to them-flesh them out ever so lightly. Thanks-I was going for teasingly sexy, and if you notice, the fic is all about the tease, and not about the actual act at all. I can't write the actual act without it devolving into cliche grande territory, plus I think leaving some details up to the reader's imagination is so much hotter. Did you notice how nerd!William came out when he realized what the balls were at the beginning, and explained what he knew about them? That was a nod to his secret stash. But, I'm rather hurt that nobody caught the Dirty Dancing reference in there. |

That's the beauty of Duran Duran-so many of their songs are apropos to the art of the tease. I thought you were talking about Hungry Like the Wolf-but, you're right, Undone would be a spectacular choice as well. Thanks-"came/come" just didn't sound right for this period. |

Julia really is a she-devil but in the best possible sense. Ohhhhhh, I just now caught your pun. *rim shot* Yes, it is fun watching Julia push William to the point of unraveling. I don't have a kink for that at all. |

But, I'm rather hurt that nobody caught the Dirty Dancing reference in there.Oh he didn't carry her up? I read it as he did. I tend to read what I want to see. Yeah I liked the fact that you didn't put the actual act in. It was already steamy enough. I generally go for the tease over the real deal because I find it awkward to read back when I'm editing and somehow it seems kinda disrespectful to make the characters bare all without their consent. I know I sound kinda crazy, and that's because I am. I feel your pain. I put references in all the time but no one either notices or comments on them. So I take them as private little jokes now. I've only seen dirty dancing once but the reference was to putting Julia in the corner right? One inside joke I put into a vid was the 'no ulterior motives one.' Did either of you gals spot it? It repeats several times throughout. And I should say it's references to the actual show with this one, not some other thing. |
