"I give the truth scope!"

Pointed out by the amazing cinnamongrr1, to my utmost amusement, Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog. Alas, no mention of Wat, but he does recommand buffie the vampyre slayre. Heeee!

Gakked from yahtzee63: Name a character or pairing! Watch me ramble on about it!

On that note, I am off to bed. Because I do sleep normal hours, once in a while. I'll ramble on about who you want tomorrow!

Wat/Geoff. I'm intrigued.

God. Okay. ...this is gonna be a hell of a ramble, ye be warned.

Let me start by stating that it is all shadesofbrixton and havenstar's fault. Completely and utterly their fault. I used to be into Wat/Kate and unrequited Geoff for Will. Now, if you're intrigued to the point of wanting to give it a try (which, you totally should), I suggest heading over to fic_orphanage and going back enough in time to find the first in their series of Wat/Geoff. What they do is this: write about them in different time periods. Which, okay, probably just made you go 'wtf?' but, it's amazing. The first fics are present time, and then there's western (I've been told the afore-mentioned chaps triggered that one), and the roaring twenties, and there's Da Vinci as well, and WWII, and a futuristic neo-punk that oh my rutting god brought me to tears, and a Firefly crossover, too. There are also vignettes of more 'regular' movieverse fanfiction. And that's for the how. That's how I got addicted, how I even learned about that pairing I'd never encountered before, but that's not why.

Why is... they just fit. They fit so perfectly, in all that they're opposites. Words are the most important thing to Geoff, and Wat never uses words if he can use actions. They have great chemistry, with the whole fonging thing, and the two above-mentioned authors simply make them work so well, you have to read them. Usually, I'll readily admit, angst is my thing. But those stories, if anything, are not predominantly angsty. There's some angst, yes, hidden in between the lines, because that's life, but they're just so sweet and god, it is crack. It's complete crack.

I can't even really explain what makes that pairing work so well for me, but by god it does. And those fics are such a celebration of those two characters, and that movie, and all the other characters as well because they have cameos now and then, and they created a whole family for Wat that is just a wonderful string of original characters and I love them like crazy, and it's just, they created a mythology, as far as I'm concerned, of a love story reinvented era after era, of two souls finding each other again and again, through time and space, and see it sounds ever so cheesy when I say it but hell. It's just that good.

...we're just a handful of Wat/Geoff 'shippers, but I think that what we don't have in numbers we make up for in love and dedication. Clearly.

Okay, did that scare you off?

It would take a lot to scare me off, never you fear! However bad you think you are I'll always think I'm worse.

I'm going to have to grab my DVD and watch it again. I could kinda see it before, enough that when I came across AKT slash that is what I would read, but I was intrigued, like I said. Wanted to know more. Didn't realize there was entirely so MUCH more.

So I, uh. Guess I'll get back to you. =p

So, so much more. I'm ecstatic that you got into those stories. I need to watch the film again, too, and I keep pushing it off. Bad me.
