media fic: And I want to tell you so much (I love you)

Title: And I want to tell you so much (I love you)
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Prompt: For the following [livejournal.com profile] tsn_kinkmeme request: Mark may have kept all those little notes Eduardo left him during college. The ones that say things like, 'Eat something and stop drinking Red Bull. I refuse to take you to EMS again' and 'I did your washing. I expect sexual favours as compensation' in Eduardo's prim and proper handwriting.
Note: I’ve never done a media fic before but I loved putting this together, even though it took up over nine hours of my life. It was fun. If I weren't so tired, I'd try to write a drabble for all 26 of these dates. Maybe some day. I don’t think my handwriting would ever match what could be Eduardo’s, but I did my best. I hope you don’t mind two wholly different fills, anon!

And, yeah, the receipt I used is for Krystal. I couldn’t find another one in my house. I didn’t want to screw with continuity but it was my only good option. ;_;

I’m also pretending Joshua Radin’s “One of Those Days” was not written in 2008 because apparently I didn’t plan appropriately last night. ;_;

UGH ALL OF THIS IS SO PRECIOUS. I'm grinning like a fool over this in Starbucks; this is just. Adorable and lovely. ♥

This is honestly the best thing of my life.

oh wow, this is so clever and hilarious and heartbreaky and just NEAT

*draws hearts around it*

the heart eyes, they are ginormously big right now. this is just so gorgeous. i'm jealous of your media skills, first of all. and second, it's just so gorgeous. the beginning is so great and then at the end, i seriously just want to cry. it's so perfect but the bit of my soul that needs a happy ending is kind of dying right now.

"you were supposed to wait." <--- MY HEART! ♥

This whole thing is just beautiful! Gorgeous job!

I (stubbornly) refuse to believe this is not canon. It fits so well into a friendship-turned-epic-love-turned-tragic-ending it's ridiculous, especially theirs. I love your mind and I want to live in it and poke it once in a while so things like this happen constantly. ♥

he really doesn't deserve him :( ♥

This is honestly one of the best things I've ever read/seen/enjoyed. Especially "NO MORE RAMEN AND RED BULL, FUCKER". Loved that bit. :)

[identity profile] espaciosideral.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
So amazing! I can totally picture Eduardo writing all those notes! Love the first one and the arguments about what food to buy, and DUSTINs highlighter marks! Oh and the flip flop one too! So awesomely different and fun! And angsty in places too- made me wonder if mark ever wrote back and what his notes might have said... Thank u for this!!!

[identity profile] ketsi.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
this is really beautiful and creative and heartbreaking and i love it so much. i feel like i have to read it again right now

[identity profile] apintofblood.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU ARE THE BEST. This is just THE BEST. I laughed out loud at the Alex Trebek picture. Eduardo is so sweet, I just want to bite him or something.

You've made my night with this.

Media fic is such a cool thing! *__________*

I feel ridiculous not commenting before, since I'm person translating the fic and everything, but I HAVE NO WORDS

This is so wonderful! I *love* all the details (binary code talk, yay!)
For some reason napkin part is breaking my heart ;__;

Thank you, and thank you for letting us work with this, it was really fun. :3

PS Sorry if I make no sense, but I'm sleep-deprived ;___;
