l'essential est invisible pour les yeux by [livejournal.com profile] formerlydf, RPS, Zach/Chris, read right now. Okay, the thing is, the first time I read it, I found it awesome and hysterical, and the second, even funnier but also thinky. I'm on read eight now, because I think I fell in love with a metaphor. It had to happen one day, I suppose.

It was bound to happen.

"Disney stole your heart," Zach repeats, trying to ascertain that he's grasping all this and it's not, say, some very bizarre aural hallucination. "Not your soul?"

It's a very literal metaphor, mind.

Shoo. Read.

It is really amazingly good. I'm so not kidding about the fact I'm on read nine now.

Okay, reading. Her summary line is excellent!

(Btw, I hope you got my mail re: Heroes fic. I tried to keep caps-locked flailing to a minimum, even though it was v.v. hard.)

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-24 12:10 am (UTC)
I did! I am contemplating! As that fic is kind of cracky.

I heard about this last night, and I remain skeptical.

He gave him his metaphorical heart literally. How is that not awesome?

Also, I mean, we all knew Disney was evil, yeah?

Disney megacorp, or Walt qua Walt?

idk, I haven't read it yet. I heard something about a tree being involved?

STILL SKEPTICAL.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-23 09:10 pm (UTC)
It's a metaphorical tree.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-23 09:11 pm (UTC)
...and a metaphorical art deco art thing.

There's a lot of metaphors. Or possibly metaphorical constructs?

Disney megacorp that steals hearts!

I'm getting my rec list together!

From: [identity profile] formerlydf.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-24 01:25 am (UTC)
I'm just going to be over here for a little while, you know, trying to stop staring at the screen. Um. Thank you for the rec! I confess, I was really not expecting that.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-24 07:10 am (UTC)
"It should be okay now; two weeks is about the limit, and anyway, half the cast of High School Musical are planning to steal their hearts back. Disney's got bigger things to worry about."

Every time I remembered this line all day? I totally laughed. And then melted for the rest of it. It's just so--so much to read that it feels so much longer than it is.

From: [identity profile] recarte.livejournal.com Date: 2009-07-25 08:17 pm (UTC)
Ty for the rec! It was really good: I was all alsdkfjl when reading about the heart-senses.
