“When Syd Barrett’s father died in 1961, it was a big shock for young Syd who was fifteen at the moment. He later made a painting in pencil and oil on board where a woman clutches two children to her at the coliseum. Lions with bared teeth threaten to devour them. There was the sense of him, his sister and his mother being thrown to the lions.”

~~Julian Palacios, Dark Globe

Untitled 8, c.1963

Jaw kisses

Syd loves kissing Rick’s jaw. Or, to be more specific, he loves teasing Rick until he finally gets to kiss his jaw.

Rick loves it too, although he likes to pretend he doesn’t. “Oh no,” he says, catching the look in Syd’s eyes.

“Oh yes,” Syd replies, burying his face in Rick’s neck, kissing the delicate skin, finding the sensitive spot just under Rick’s ear, nuzzling it.

Rick lets out the breathless laughter Syd knows well, and he makes his final move, slowly roaming his lips over Rick’s jaw.

“You’re a menace, you know that?” Rick murmurs.

Syd laughs, satisfied.

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.
