Mirrorball

My entry for @cruelsummer-ficfest is of course Moonchaser. Based on the song Mirrorball and featuring probably far too many of the song’s lyrics.

It took James months to notice, but once he did, he couldn’t stop seeing it.

Remus was like a mirror. He reflected back emotions, tone, body language, even the personalities of everyone around him. He was doing anything to be involved, to be engaging, to hide his pain. If you were laughing, he was laughing. If you were quiet, well that one was probably more natural for Remus. Once he was in the room with you though, he would match your energy until he couldn’t anymore.

He would be dancing with the rest of the party until it knocked him off his feet, forcing him to disappear as he shattered into a million pieces, no longer able to reflect the appearances of everyone around him. The shattering happened in silence, in privacy, in locked bathrooms and dark bedrooms. Not even James was allowed to see the true extent of it.

Even James was merely trapped in the mirror, a hundred versions of himself reflected back whenever they were together.

Only the tiny cracks allowed James to see what was happening. The smiles that were a little strained, the laughs that sounded a little too forced if you listened closely. The glaring absence when Remus wasn’t able to hold the facade and would disappear altogether for days.

The cracks were getting larger lately.

____________

Remus knew he couldn’t keep this up much longer, that the end was near. He had been trying so hard for so long and he was tired. Hiding things from everyone else was one thing, but hiding from James hurt. And he was in enough pain already without adding to it.

He knew the cracks were starting to show through.

The next time, Remus decided, he would let James in. He would be brave and he would trust that James wouldn’t leave. He would trust that James could witness him fall apart, see him shatter, and still be there the next day. Maybe he wasn’t so much brave as he was desperate for it to be the truth, for it to be okay for him to have James there.

Inevitably, it happened. Remus felt it coming and retreated to his house alone for the night, but in the morning, when James called to check in, he didn’t ignore it like he usually would. Instead, he took a deep breath, and told James in as few words as possible how tired he was and how much he hurt and, most importantly, he asked James to come over and be with him.

And he did. James arrived quickly, and he didn’t blink twice at the state Remus was in. Remus knew the cracks had been getting bigger, and sure enough, James seemed to already know everything, like he had been seeing through his facade this whole time.

James held Remus while he cried and tried to explain more. While Remus said through his tears, “All I do is try, try, try” and while he finally admitted “when I break, it’s in a million pieces.” James held him through it all.

“You don’t have to try anymore for me,” James told him when Remus’ sobs and hurried words finally quieted. “Even when no one else is around, I’ll be here. When you’re feeling breakable or even when you’ve shattered, I’ll be here. When you’re worried you’ll cut me, I’ll keep myself safe so you don’t have to think about it, and so I can be here. When all I can do is try to make you laugh, get you to smile, that’s what I’ll do. And when even that’s too much for you, I’ll hold you close and I’ll just be here. I’m not going anywhere. You can’t chase me away anymore, Remus. I’m here to stay. So you can stop trying all the time and you can just be. I’ll be here.”

Remus didn’t have much strength left for the day, but he used what he had to hold James tight, to return his love with touch, not words. And then he listened to James, and he stopped trying. He fell asleep in James’ arms and woke up just the same.

__________________

Now that he had found the courage to drop the mirror, for James only but that was enough, Remus realized he could suddenly see James so much more clearly. When he wasn’t looking for what to reflect, when he was looking only for looking’s sake, when he was looking simply because he loved him, Remus could finally see how brightly James was shining.

Now that Remus had dropped the mirror and let it shatter permanently, the pieces never being fully picked back up in front of James at least, James could see that Remus’ love had always shone through the cracks. Now Remus’ love could only shine so much more brightly. James intended to bask in it for as long as he could.

Remus, for the first time, found that his love was being reflected right back at him. James could be his unbreakable mirrorball.

TIFF 2022 Film Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe ★★★★

When the poignant, defiantly hopeful sound of Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat kicked in early on in writer-director Aitch Alberto’s Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe, I settled deep down into my seat at TIFF, strongly suspecting that given that music choice I was going to love the rest of the film. Not only is it one of the finest songs about an aspect of the queer (and…

Taylor Swift Meets Hockey RPF: Advent Calendar Day 9

The 17th ficciest Taylor Swift song of all time is…

youtube

Song: Cruel Summer Album: Lover Year: 2019 Lyrics: https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-cruel-summer-lyrics Rank: #17

This one is friends with benefits to lovers. That’s it, that’s the whole song. It’s not a trope I’ve written a ton of–I gravitate towards friends without benefits to lovers–but it’s a great one and one that works super well for hockey RPF. Hockey boys don’t talk about FEELINGS! Even if they’re having them so strongly they have to sing this song about them!!

Allow me to share some of the lines that are so extremely hockey RPF I can’t even stand it:

“It’s new, the shape of your body”<-this guy has never hooked up with a man before, because closeted/clueless/in NHL/etc.

”We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times/We're not trying”<-they’re not gonna date, obviously, because they’ve both been bad at relationships before, and anyway it would be stupid to try to date while they’re both playing hockey

“It's cool, that's what I tell 'em/No rules”<-haha we can totally just have sex! There won’t be any feelings!!

“I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you”<-it’s so hard pretending not to have feelings (with a side note of they have to stay closeted and it sucks)

“I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?”<-oops all feelings

In conclusion, even though these two people are already having sex it’s still the piningest thing I’ve ever heard.

Pairing I’d assign to this song: I’m going with Tyson Barrie and Gabe the Babe for this one. Can’t you just imagine Tyson, all eager to promise that they can just hook up and it’ll be cool, because it’s not like Gabe would want to be with him seriously anyway and just the thought of getting to touch Gabe in any way makes him drool. And then he does get to touch Gabe, and it’s even more overwhelming than he thought. He knows he’s headed for heartbreak but he can’t make himself stop. He complains to Nate, and Nate is all, “I told you this would go badly” and “Will you just stop sleeping with him already,” and Tyson knows he should but it’s Gabe. And finally he caves and confesses and expects it to ruin everything but instead it turns out Gabe’s got it just as bad.

Lyrics to title this story: No Rules in Breakable Heaven

when people say taylor swift’s worst lyrics are on debut what they’re really saying is they think you need to talk like you’re reading from a thesaurus to be smart

#no nuance november #if cruel summer came out in 2022 some of y’all would hate it for weak lyricism or whatever #sometimes a song can just be a bop and that’s okay!#shut up bea #taylor swift
