searching for my sun

I meant to post this yesterday but I completely ran out of time. And I actually forgot. What the hell, self.

In any case, I have been reading Adrienne Rich again, and it's her poetry that inspired this series in the first place, so I really shouldn't be surprised at how hard inspiration slammed into me. I wrote this right until 5am one night and I didn't sleep at all before work the next day. I hope it doesn't show. It's edited, I swear.

Betaed by databomb@dw, who is incredibly sweet to do this for me even though she doesn't know the fandom.

Summary: Ostensibly, Viggo rewards Sean for getting the role in the Devil’s Peak Trilogy. But really, this is just an exercise in trust. Part of the cartographies of silence universe, before Part 10.

( to move openly together, in the pull of gravity )

THIS IS OFFICIALLY FINISHED. 9 parts are all I planned to write; the last part is an epilogue for my own pleasure (though I think most of you will like it also :3). But this is an ending-ish part. 8D!

- PART 9/10: 4 February 2012 to 10 March 2012

Characters/Pairing: Sean Bean/Viggo Mortensen
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: None of this happened. Product of my imagination!
Summary: 31_days, April 21: I'd call it love if love didn't take so many years. Finding, and holding onto, that happy ending. All it takes is one plane ticket to Saxony-Anhalt, and for two men to be brave—braver than they had been for the past thirteen years.

part 8: 1 February 2012

( part 9: I'd call it love if love didn't take so many years )

Ignore the date. I repeat, ignore the date. It's still Sean's birthday in England so I am not late.

I was going to write a new fic for Sean's birthday, but holy god I suddenly had no time at all the past two days sdfsdgfdg. I haven't even been online lately. I thought I had a day more holy shit. So instead, I'll just post the next part of cartographies of silence early. I know, I know, it's a damn cop-out, but I promise I'll write an extra fic eventually to make up for it.

Also, yeah, that's /10 instead of /9. :3

Nnnnnnnngh can school be over so I can devote myself to research and fic. :| (PRIORITIES, SELF. PRIORITIES...)

Also, I am seriously going to just subtitle this series as "Cockblock: The Movie".

So in the midst of essays, upcoming exams, huge amount of readings... I get hit by a gigantic plotbunny.

This is officially a series. It's not a single story, because the parts don't behave like chapters. Each of them are basically self-contained stories within themselves, all of them inspired by the poems of Adrienne Rich in general and this list in particular.

I would also like to say that I'm an immensely uncreative writer. That is my way of saying that I'm an utter research freak, and please tell me if I've gotten any of the details wrong.

There are nine parts. I'll be posting a part a week. Dedicated, as always, to the gorgeous and wondrous regasssa.
