Oh my gosh, you guys, it'd been so long since I posted anything that I have apparently completely forgotten how this whole 'posting fic' thing works. 🤦😅 I only remembered to post In the Still of the Night to ao3 yesterday, and I just now realized that I completely forgot to tag anyone for it! 🙈 (At this point, I’ll probably just skip that step since so many people who would be on the tag list have already seen it.)
On that note, I think it's high time for me to update (or possibly just re-start) my tag list, so you can expect a post about that.... uh... whenever I get around to doing it? Hopefully soonish.
I'm also probably going to be ridiculously slow at responding to comments, (especially with all the delicious new kinktober fics dropping out there 👀👀) but please trust me when I say that I see every single comment, like and reblog, and I appreciate them more than you know. 🥰🥰💕 (I may or may not be hoarding and repeatedly rereading them because it always means so so so much to know that people appreciate my fic and that's even more true now, after I've been on hiatus for so long)
There was a bit of talk on a fan forum a while back about Whitesnake and In the Still of the Night. Directly related to some song battle thing, you know, which song is better, and stuff like that, which I have to admit I can enjoy every now and then. I mean, who doesn't like these no-brainers? Anyway, a reference to Led Zeppelin was made there, not to the song I had in mind, but I suppose the main thing is just that Led Zeppelin were mentioned, and at least some of it will be true and nobody will contradict that. That's how it usually goes. Be that as it may, my ears tell me that Immigrant Song would have been a little more fitting, but that doesn't have to mean much, because the Led Zeppelin references in In The Still of The Night are more numerous than just one song anyway.
Why am I telling you all this and what does it have to do with Kiss? Well right now I just feel like drifting like a snowflake in the wind, which reminds me that for some reason Immigrant Song always makes me think of Who Wants to be Lonely, and I haven't written anything about Who Wants to Be Lonely yet. And now I'm stuck with it. It's a bit like trying to lick a frosted lamppost with your tongue. That's what I'm getting for it now.
It's such a wonderful rainy day today, so why don't we just listen to all three songs in their entirety?
“WTNV walked so [insert whatever media] could run” no. WTNV did not walk, it was fucking running marathons while other media was crawling on the ground gasping for air. it’s still running and the world needs to catch up
it's just really funny to me to imagine Fabian actually being a great big brother honorable nemesis.
like, putting a nemesis ward on the nursery with aelwyn's help since "it won't do if they die before their eighteenth birthday, will it?" (aelwyn, deeply sarcastic: "well of course, that is exactly why I put the ward on adaine's room." fabian, too deep in denial for sarcasm: "see? you get it")
gifting them a battle sheet baby blanket since they should start preparing for their battle early on (and yes it's extra fluffy, it's for a baby stop laughing everybody)
generally trying to teach them everything he knows "so their battle to the death will be a fair one"
giving their adventuring party the same lecture on tactics that the bad kids got from his papa
hunting down chungledown bim and any other nemesis so his sibling is the only one who could get a piece of his fund (he just wants it to stay in the family, shut up)
just. fabian being an amazing big brother but also if you call him that to his face he will cut you
