I remember the Parker/Maggie. That was good. When it comes to that fandom, I'm omnivorous. Hardison/Parker, Hardison/Eliot, Eliot/Hardison/Parker...it's all good to me.

Brad took this photo the morning after their first night together. The morning after Nate almost got blown up by a roadside bomb.

DUDE! That's amazing. Is this is war photographers? Because yeah, Brad would be rilly pissed if he didn't get to have Nate before they died. That'd suck. There's no justice in that world.

Re: boys being totally innocent and hard-working and above-board

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Obviously *I* don't believe that, but a lot of guys seem to think so. And you're the one who's always going on about boy-thinking! I'm just saying.

I was poking you because I didn't think you believed that, but you know, it was implied in the sentence. That worried me. Then again, we have no sarcasm font and I've been here since 7:30 this morning and am only getting to eat at 3pm, so please excuse anything that might be construed as me getting pissy. I'm a little irritable at the moment, Now, as to this...

In my head I can understand him being reticent to fuck Brad to avoid even the perception of the abuse of authority. Not that anyone's looking, but hell, Nate's conflicted. We were all shocked to hear.

You make some excellent points and this bit in particular pinged me, because now I want to write about Brad trying to convince Nate to fuck him and Nate being all, no, it wouldn't be proper and Brad would be all, yeah, okay, gay sex, with superior, in the military, are you really trying to pull THAT card. REALLY?

And I love the Kocher remark b/c I got to take it a step up and think that the NCOs are the owners of the rent controlled building. The officers are the tennants, and the landlord is the military only in this case the landlord is making all the decision and not the owners!


Now, do I think this is conscious? Probably not, at least not at first and especially not in the heat of getting Nate naked. But I think it plays out in how they react once they are naked. I think Brad's assumption is that he'll be fucking Nate; the reverse doesn't even occur.

I think this would be a pretty spectacular thing to see, because I can almost see them both going into this thinking they're going to be on top (yes, it goes against the above, but let's face it, that's a shoddy arguement when lined up with all the other things Nate's breaking -- ths is not to say that Nate wouldn't hold on to it like a high school trying to lose his virginity on prom night -- but. Wait, I just have to give myself props because that was an awesome simile. Anyroad, where was I? Ah yes, the tussle once the clothes come off and they're rolling around and for a minute I think things go from playful to a little violent when Brad realizes things aren't quite going the way he thought. I can see his wide eyed expression when Nate has him pinned to the bed, not physically restrainign him, but Brad's legs around Nate's waist or maybe just the way that Nate's physically on top, griding against him taking what he wants, and the way Nate's face shifts as he relizes what's going on in Brad's head. And then there's that decision to do it this way to get what he wants,

I am very interested in this Brad self-esteem thing. I would love to see that one explored a little bit, possibly by me, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Holy shit!

Re: Not porn. Sorry :(

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yep. War Photographer Verse all the way. That particular universe is a very hard and angsty one and I just couldn't put any of us through it. Too much death and destruction and injury. We talked about it, though, you and I about the scar Brad has on his neck. IMO, it's almost like Two Face in Batman. You see one side and it's the most beautiful thing ever, and the he turns and your breath gets caught for a different reason altogether.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Ha!

Like I know in theory that Walt is hot, but for some reason, being actually confronted with it is always a bit startling.

I feel like would very seriously vow to never let Walt out of his sights again because clearly when Ray is not there to look after Walt, Walt gets kidnapped and forced into participating in porn. And Ray is in favor of porn. And he's in favor of Walt being involved in porn, but only when said porn also involves Ray. And Walt would laugh at him and Ray would be all, "I will tie you up!" And Walt would be all, "you couldn't make knots that would hold me," and Ray would be all, "want to bet?" and Walt would be like, "this is stupid, even for you, and that's saying something," But Ray would already be on his phone with Brad trying to get advice on how best to tie knots to hold someone, and Brad would refuse to tell him anything. "I am not helping to do depraved things to a nice boy like Walt. Besids why do you think I know about kinky shit?" And Ray would be all, "Whatever Brad. I know you and the LT get up to kinky shit. I'm just not sure who ties up whom. I bet you like flip for it. Hey... do you call him sir when he's fucking you? I bet you are totally into that perverted shit." And Walt would like hitting his head against the wall because Brad was clearly going to come over and kill Ray which would be that Walt was not going to get laid, so Walt would grab the phone anyway from Ray and say, "Please don't kill him. I've finally managed to get him house broken and I don't want all that effort to go to waste."

And Ray would be pouting because he was just trying to save Walt from a life of sexual exploitation in porn and there was no reason for everyone to be mean to him. And then Walt would be all, "how 'bout we try option B. I tie you up."

And Ray would grin. "I don't know how you ever managed to persuade the world that you were the nice one."

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

He's so pretty! There really, really needs to be more Walt porn in the world.

Re: boys being totally innocent and hard-working and above-board

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mean to sound pissy or imply bad things. ::frets::

now I want to write about Brad trying to convince Nate to fuck him and Nate being all, no, it wouldn't be proper and Brad would be all, yeah, okay, gay sex, with superior, in the military, are you really trying to pull THAT card. REALLY?

YES! I mean, it doesn't logically follow. If Nate looked at it rationally, he'd see that it doesn't logically follow. Once he gets involved with a subordinate, the specifics of the sexual activities don't really matter (morally, I mean). It won't make it better if Nate's always the bottom, but it almost seems like Nate might grasp that as kind of his last refuge, like, 'it's not REALLY wrong because I'm not bending my Sergeant over or anything.' Which is -

Thing is, Nate's a good man. He honestly believes in many of the tenets of the military. He understands that he has a responsibility to his men and we know he'd do anything for them. He'd be horrified by the thought that he'd done them wrong. Given all that, there is simply no rational way he can justify a sexual relationship with one of them. He can excuse it by saying he and Brad are equals, but fact is, they're not. He's Brad's commander. Period. So instead he evades; it's all he can do, other than not start such a relationship...and that ain't gonna happen.

Of course, this all rests on the notion that Nate's a little bit in denial. The entire discussion falls apart if he goes into a relationship with Brad, eyes open, knowing exactly what he's doing and knowing that it's wrong. But I think that's harder to justify character-wise, especially if it's pre-Iraq or in theater. He thinks of himself as a good man, he recognizes the wisdom of this rule and the opportunity for abuse that it protects against...and I think he also believes that no one is above such a rule and anyone who thinks he is shouldn't be in a position of power.

It's some MASSIVE cognitive dissonance and Nate's really in kind of a shit position, frankly. But that gets way angsty and we all know I ain't down with that.

So Nate hangs onto the last vestiges of 'it's not that bad if I'm on bottom and besides, the military has broken all sorts of promises to us, I am assured of this.'

ths is not to say that Nate wouldn't hold on to it like a high school trying to lose his virginity on prom night -- but. Wait, I just have to give myself props because that was an awesome simile.

Indeed. Indeed, it was. Heh.

Brad realizes things aren't quite going the way he thought. I can see his wide eyed expression when Nate has him pinned to the bed

That would be an interesting story, the both of them thinking they're on top, Brad realizing he's not in control here. Which - I think it's more interesting for him because while he is the alpha male, it's not explicitly granted authority; it's earned and basically understood. Nate's authority, otoh, is explicit. Brad's used to being treated a certain way by everyone - even the officers to an extent - and then he finds himself in bed with Nate and Nate's not deferring to his expertise or badassery (or even really challenging it, no, maybe he's outright assuming he's in charge...this might take some convincing on my part) and so Brad's like, wait, what?

I am very interested in this Brad self-esteem thing. I would love to see that one explored a little bit, possibly by me, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

L kind of did this in "Itch In Your Veins." (I freaking LOVE that story.) I think that's where we were talking about this, too. It's especially persuasive in light of the bff and ex-gf and how they're 'all still friends' and...yeah, L kinda breaks me when she starts talking about this stuff because I just want to pet Brad and make it better.

Re: Not porn. Sorry :(

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Yay war photographers! Beyond the, ya know, heartbreak and angst inherent in that scenario (so I totally feel you on the not going there). Yes, I remember the scar. ::sniffs:: Aww, Brad.

You see one side and it's the most beautiful thing ever, and the he turns and your breath gets caught for a different reason altogether.

Gah. Just yes. But no, because you'll make me sad and we're being happy. (Though it really reminded me of Tom Ricks' recent posts about the woman who was thanking the soldiers and said she 'had' a son deployed to Afghanistan. ::sniffs more::)

90 seconds starts now.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ray is not the type to get irrationally upset. Except that one time. He blames the Ripped Fuel.

Ray's also not the type to get irrationally possessive. That's Brad's thing. Ray is totally above that -- except for sometimes when he knows Brad's not listening to him because he's too busy mooning over the LT -- err, Nate. Whatever. He left the Corps but he's still the LT. Captain Ray's ass.

He's digressing. The point is not Brad or the LT, it's this photo he's found tucked away in this old issue of Hustler in Walt's nightstand. Not that Ray's supposed to be poking through Walt's nightstand.

Hell, normally Ray's asleep 15 seconds after they have sex. He needed a tissue. He remembers that much. And Walt was sort of just lying there, that glazed expression on his face he gets sometimes when Ray rides him too hard. Ray likes that. Likes fucking Walt even more, but he can be flexible like that. It makes Walt happy.

[wait, time lapse I was talking to A]

But this... Ray rolls back over. Walt's sprawled out next to him, head on the edge of his pillow, forearm thrown over his eyes. Ray looks at Walt, and then back at the photo. Looks at the girl's hand on Walt's chest, the posessive way Walt's pulled her into his side.

And then Ray whacks Walt in the ribs. "OW!" Walt's upright in seconds. "What the fuck, Trombley?!"

Ray raises an eyebrow and props himself up on one elbow. "Trombley? TROMBLEY?"

Walt rubs a hand over his face. Shakes his head. "Ray, what the hell was that?"

Ray purses his lips, shoves the photo in Walt's face. "Who the hell is this?"

[Okay, that ended up being more like 5 miuntes.]

Re: Not porn. Sorry :(

Now I'm worried everybody's started getting all angsty on me. This is what you get when you give people chaffed body parts I supposed. *frowns* *pokes Nate* C'mon. Please?

And yeah, I read the Tom Ricks post. That just... SADNESS!

I think we should instead talk about Nate's mouth. Or Walt's mouth. Q was trying to tempt me about Walt and he does have a nice mouth. Hmm.

[Okay, I'm giving myself the length of one song to get this done] Chelsea Dagger 3:35.

Nate had very clear rules when they were at Mathilda. No touching. No breathing too close. No bodily contact. No impure thoughts.

Actually that last one was a lie, but Brad kind of felt that Nate was being unreasonable about the whole thing, because Nate would crowd into Brad's space, point things out on the tracker. He'd be so close Brad could feel his body heat, see the fine hairs on the back Nate's hand, and then when Brad's hand accidentally brushed against Nate's -- it was his goddamn laptop anyway -- Nate would pull away. Scoot back. The hell was that?

And then they were in Iraq and thre was war and things exploding, and Brad understood the rules. They'd been in place ever since Nate caught Brad staring at his mouth, didn't make them right. Didn't make them... fuck, Brad hated the word 'fair' but still.

Brad was a Marine, he could do this. Fuck, he could probably rescue kids from a burning building, he could endure whatever puritanical shit had Nate Fick refusing to even be alone with Brad longer than a few minutes.

Okay, Brad could do it. But he didn't want to. He really didn't want to. Somedays he would just stare. Let his eyes go all inappropriately over Nate's face, mouth, that ass.

He's almost ashamed to admit it took him a while to get it. A while to realize that Nate only ever seemed to bite his lower lip was when they were together, or when Brad was just being all kinds of obvious.

And that was just... that was wrong. The way Nate would suck his bottom lip into his mouth. Worry it with his teeth just that litle bit.

Just so fucking wrong.

And then it all sort of fell together in Brad's head. Nate's mouth. That lower lip. The softness between Brad's teeth. The way it would probably feel when it was Brad's mouth... Brad's cock.

The fact that Nate was probably thinking about Brad's mouth. Brad's cock. That he was probably doing it just to give Brad a show.

Yeah, the LT was a crafty fucker. Just Brad's type.

Re: let us speak of Nate and his mouth. some more.

Well, then, what do YOU want to see? Let me return the favor and cater to you.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Walt has his hands in his pockets, a smirk on his face as he watches Ray sniff around the apartment like a dog looking to mark his territory. The only reason Walt's hanging back is because he watched how much Ray had to drink so the chances of him whipping out his dick to pee on Walt's couch is low. Whipping out his dick to do other things, well...Walt has hopes.

"Who's this?"

Walt pushes off the wall and walks over to where Ray's standing. For being so short, Ray's a loose-limbed guy, but right now he's coiled like a snake ready to strike. Walt raises an eyebrow and looks over Ray's shoulder. "Oh. That's my sister."

"Fuck that bullshit." Ray gives Walt a look that is not pleased. "You have a girlfriend or something?" Ray's eyes narrow, as though maybe he remembers Walt smelling the letters that came from home, which Walt wouldn't put past him even though Ray was usually mid-diatribe by then.

"I did."

"She's pretty."

"Yeah." Walt nods, eyes skimming over her dark red dress, her hand on his chest.

Ray's voice is soft. "You want me to find her and kick her ass for you?"

Walt shakes his head and slides his hand over the back of Ray's skull down to his neck. He turns Ray to face him - slow enough for Ray to protest, fast enough to let Ray know he was certain - and finds Ray's mouth, licking at the parted seam of his lips before sliding his tongue past them.

Ray makes a sound and opens his mouth more to Walt's, surprisingly...not docile, because he's Ray, but easy. Willing. Not fighting back or for dominance or pulling away to talk. Just taking Walt's tongue and sucking on it, tangling it with his own.

"I think maybe we can find better things for you to do tonight, huh?"

Ray nods. "Yeah, but tomorrow all bets are off."
