Fic: "Afterimage" | Robert Smith/Simon Gallup

[horizon_greene]

I'm still very emotional about The Cure, several months on. So I wrote a little something, as you do.

Title: "Afterimage"
Pairing: Robert Smith/Simon Gallup
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 2,611
Notes: Thanks to niennah for the beta, and for humoring and encouraging me along the way.

It was all connected, inextricably linked. There would always be the band, them, this—this need to exchange the fading adrenaline of a show for a different kind of rush.

This is incredibly hot and beautiful. I love their passion intermingled with their fear. It seems to perfectly capture who they were in those days. The depiction of them having sex was so detailed yet so loving.

I can't wait to read more of your fics. This is excellent.

Whew! *wipes sweat off brow*, guess I should get back to work... It's going to be difficult to concentrate ;-P

I'm so glad you liked it! Robert and Simon have such a fascinating history, and 1982 and 1985 are particularly intriguing—so of course, I had to weave some porn in and around that canon ;)

As short as it is, this story was really difficult to write, so I've been taking a bit of a hiatus since finishing it. But I have two other fics in progress, and I'm feeling more inspired every day, thanks in no small part to you and the other writers I've come across recently. So, hopefully there will be more soon!
