Madre de dios. I love this! I'm so sorry, I didn't get notifications so I didn't know you'd updated on the thread until I saw the comment where you posted it here! xD
(I'll post effusive praise on each segment, if it helps.)
God, I am so glad you filled this xD I doubt Eliot would slap you, I love this! I think the stilted parts of this really, really gave a sense of alienation between Cobb and Arthur, this distance they dare not bridge (so how should they presume?) and the nuance, oh, Christ, the [i]nuance[/i] you gave them...
I love the delicate state of affairs, their continuing uncertainty. “Come here,” Arthur says to him, and prays that is enough.
And yes, I love it that we *never* know what the question is, and yet in reading, we are invited in the same way to *ask* and to *discover* that unspoken question, that can disturb a universe, and yet it is never really voiced.
And I could go on to point almost every Eliot reference I caught, and probably a dozen that slipped past me. I missed the trousers the first time ;) And the other one - the walks on sand and white linen trousers too ;)
'There is time still to reverse, time still to add more words or take some back. Time still, but he is immobile with unspoken want.' - I CAUGHT THIS. 'In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. ' IT TOTALLY MATCHES UP IN AN AWESOME WAY.
And I love the title. I really love the title, yes, I know it's terribly appropriate ;)
So. I haven't really been writing much in this fandom. So how should I presume? There is plenty of time for indecision, and plenty of words to fill this space and comment.
So how should I presume?
