Beware the Greek bearing gifts.
The word of the day is chicanery.
It is brought to you by the initials EW and the pairing Clark/Lana.
The Word of the Day is also brought to you by the number three cos that’s how many hot icons I can be bought for. I like purple, green and blue. I'm just saying.

Everything about Elijah is wrong.
His eyes are too big; his skin is too soft.
His hair is too shiny.
It’s just too much.
He looks in the mirror in the morning and wants to be someone else.
Someone who isn’t ‘too’ anything.
Dom says he’s been reading too many Greek myths.
*
The papers call him ‘believable to a fault’
The reviewers write that he’s ‘too cute.’
The fans clamor for him to be Frodo.
It’s too much.
He shaves his hair after one interviewer describes it as lush.
That’ll show them.
Show them what, Elijah’s not sure.
Dom removes all the magazines from the house though.
*
He’s too short.
Too hobbit sized.
He still gets carded at the movies, and his shirts are all small.
His fingers are short, but apparently his hands are just right for his body. Elijah would rather have hands like Viggo. Or Sean. He would rather have the kind of hands that are attached to tall people. Elijah would rather be tall and artistic and divorced. He would rather have history and scars and flaws rather than skin that the make-up people coo over.
Billy says he should appreciate his youth while he can.
Billy’s older. Billy’s happier.
He doesn’t understand.
Elijah is young, but his time is already running out.
*
Elijah would rather just be Elijah, instead of Elijah Wood.
Elijah would rather a lot of things.
But he can’t or he doesn’t. So instead he does the press junkets and bites his nails because.
Just because.
Dom doesn’t say anything.
After all, Elijah is alive. Does it really matter if he's living?
*
Elijah likes flaws.
He wants his own.
He wants bruises and scrapes and marks that last.
The ones on the outside have faded.
The others just make him feel old.
He never looks it.
He just feels it.
Dom says. Well, Dom says a lot.
*
He wakes up in the same bed. He goes through the same routine.
Except when he makes changes.
Sometimes he shaves, sometimes he doesn’t.
Sometimes he washes in the morning, sometimes in the evening.
The monotony is killing him.
It’s not Dom’s fault.
*
He drinks too much beer.
He smokes too many cloves.
He fucks the wrong people at the wrong time.
He’s sorry.
Dom says he’s too late.
*
He’s not too young.
He’s not too old.
He’s afraid his life is living him instead of the other way around.
It just is. He just is.
He goes away because he wants to stop existing.

obsessedmuch. Hey, you asked.
Notes: I am not attracted to Elijah Wood. I find him as sexually attractive as... well, Harvey Weinstein (head of Miramax). Nevertheless, I am not always an ungrateful whore
esorlehcar,
edigo and
lux__aeterna have given me many pretties recently and they seem to like YKW, so this is for them.

Angsty, but good.
Angst, it's the only way.
Angst, it's what's for dinner.
Angst, the other white meat.
