THIS is what’s so great about the 10 minute challenge - people get exposed to stories they ordinarily wouldn’t see. So glad I found this piece! �� Thanks! Please consider adding this to the collection on AO3 (if you haven’t done already), so others can enjoy it too. ��

Thank you! I added Pianissimo to the collection when @foryou-insilence posted about it. Glad you found this one, I have a couple others stories in this fandom, if you want to read on.

 CMBYN 10 Minute Challenge Part 2

Thank you for the amazing support to my first 10 minute challenge! As with my previous story, I incorporated lines and details from the novel and the film respectively, and this time, I also included a few lines from real interviews of Armie and Timothée to give it a more sense of realism. Thanks for taking the time to read this short intro and I hope you enjoy it! I would love to hear what you think about it. Thanks again! Later! 🍑

A gentle breeze of Italian summer air washed over me when I saw him again after twenty years. It reminded me of our summer back in ‘87.

“Good God—Elio!” It was his beard that had thrown me off. I embraced him, and then patted his furry face several times as if he were younger than he'd even been that summer so long ago.

We took a stroll around the town. “I'd forgotten how much I loved this place. But this is exactly how I remember it. At noon it's paradise.” He let me talk. Perhaps he too wanted to avoid the face-to-face.

“Do you remember that restaurant where we used to get the chocolate croissants and the espressos in the morning?” I asked him, who simpered in response. “Do you remember that little place on the piazza where they had the pizza and the other stuff?”

“Speranza.” he recalled, referring to an eatery.

“Yeah, Speranza,” I said. “Where we had the fish.”

Before we headed back to the villa, we stopped by in a little tiny town called Orzoni. Stefano, the chef, was still there and immediately greeted us with hugs. We must have ordered at least a kilo of caviar. We ate caviar and drank ice-cold vodka and had amazing wine from the wine cellar. It was an amazing night.

On the drive back to their villa, a long stretch of green hedgerow on both sides of the road guide us. It got me thinking. Twenty years was yesterday, and yesterday was just earlier this morning, and it was as if we have lived through it all again in one day.

Ever since I got back, a lingering question burned at the back of my mind but I just couldn’t find the right time to ask him.

We finally reached the villa and drove past the gates that were still majestic and rustic as I remember it. We got out of the car and I can already hear the familiar sound of the wooden windows slamming in the wind. As we made our way through the gravel path leading to the house, I finally mustered the courage to ask him what has been eating at me the whole day.

“Are you happy I’m back?”

Again, I’m not sure who to tag so I apologize in advance to those who I do and those who I don’t.

This is beautiful! Even as a stand-alone piece about two unknown people... Wow!

Thank you! I love reverse POV things and I enjoyed having the opportunity to try it with this challenge.

I would not be mad if all the 10 minute fics were packaged and sold/distributed in some sort of one off charmie zine :)

Oooo, anon. I love that idea. Could be sold and all proceeds donated to charity on behalf of the film?

@isitandwonder @etal-later @auselysium I’m not sure who else was initially came up with the idea?

So, this is the first bit of my writing that I have EVER posted for public consumption. And I missed the deadline arguing with myself over whether I should do it. Enjoy? ☺️

Are you ready for this?

Timmy took one last look in mirror, took a deep breath, and repeated, “you can do this, you can do this” a few times before turning to the door. What waited on the other side of that door would be life-changing. With another deep breath, he turned the handle and stepped out, his frightened expression giving way to genuine happiness on seeing Armie waiting for him.

——

Armie paced Timmy’s New York apartment for the thousandth time as he waited for T to come out of the bathroom. They’d agreed that today was he day, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t nervous. Not about Timmy, never about Timmy, but about the rest of the world. They’d been living in their little bubble for so long that is seemed surreal that they were about to pop it deliberately. But it was time. And he was ready. Well, mostly.

At the sound of he bathroom door opening, Armie turned to see Timmy’s face go from scared to joyous in a moment. Armie’s breath caught. That’s because of me, he thought.

Then, reaching out his hand, he asked, “are you ready for this, T?”

“Ready as I’ll ever be.”

—-

As they stood there before the door of the apartment building, Timmy looked down at their still clasped hands, then up at Armie’s dazzling smile.

“Let’s do this, yeah?”

And they stepped out into the flashing cameras of the pap.

There are 34 works posted to the CMBYN10 collection so far on AO3. 

I’m so proud of everyone that has participated. If you haven’t posted your work yet, please think about doing so. It’s amazing to have these all in one place to peruse at our discretion. The talent in this fandom is off the chart.

You’re Straight...

A CMBYN 10 minute challeng fic. I already posted this on AO3, but might as well go all in on my first time sharing something I’ve written. Felt super rushed, but it helps he feel less self conscious since everyone knows about the short timeframe.

——-

“You’re both straight,” the interviewer then pauses as if seeking agreement. Timothée’s mouth tightens, and he gives a noncommittal nod as always. “How did you manage to develop such great chemistry?”

Timothée shrinks a bit, smiles, and looks to Armie nervously.

“Well, with any partner, you have to get to know each other, regardless of your personal background,” Armie supplies, “with Timmy, it was exceptionally easy. We got to spend quite a bit of time together before we started filming, and we just developed a fantastic relationship.”

Timothée just looks up at him and takes a deep breath.

The interviewer finishes up and thanks them for their time as handshakes are exchanged.

As soon as he leaves the room, Armie says, “I never understand why they bring sexuality into those questions, I mean, when I have co-starred with women, they never feel the need to say, ‘you’re married, how did you manage to work with this actress?’”

Timothée quietly nods, rubs his face, and looks away.

Armie looks at him inquisitively. “Hey, what’s up, T?”

He just shakes his head as he glances back at him.

“You can tell me anything, you know.”

Timothée exhales, looks to the sky, shaking his head a bit. “It’s just... I’m getting kind of sick of nodding along with their ‘You’re straight’ bullshit.”

“Because...” Armie prods, but waits patiently for an answer while Timothée clearly contemplates whether to continue.

Timothée breathes a few more times before looking directly to Armie, a renewed sense of courage. “Because I know that it’s not entirely true.”

Armie looks on, curious. “Oh, really?” he clearly tries to have a neutral expression.

“Nope. I mean, I do like girls, but, it’s become clear to me that I definitely like guys too.” He says, then adds with a smirk, “Or at least one guy.”

“Oh really,” Armie raises an eyebrow with a smile.
