Yeah, definitely! It's really frustrating because I've never been able to pinpoint when they met so I don't know for SURE if the dates match up with the Fiji stuff and the last Discount album. Some of the lyrics seem too relevant/significant to ignore though.
OH MY GOD THAT IS SUCH A GOOD POINT. LIKE, WHAT THE HELL. They DO always talk about shutting out the audience and just performing for each other and pretending they were back in that little room. Which - I imagine they always did the intense staring thing when they were alone, but what about the more outright sexual stuff? It's like with your fic. GOD, the idea of the guitar sex happening for the first time when they were all alone, I just can't. And yeah, if it's the performance/audience that gives them the opportunity to be sexual (because it's such an unnatural environment in which they can do anything etc) then how does that work with the whole IGNORING the crowd thing? Like you said, if it's just for each other, the crowd isn't necessary, but at the same time it seems like performing gives them a freedom they couldn't have otherwise. WHAT.
And, yeah. EPIC LEVELS OF DENIAL. It's quite impressive, really.
Jack is SO hard to write. Too coy vs. too heavy is totally the issue, isn't it? And being able to picture it makes it so much more frustrating. I have this snapshot of an image, of him sitting by the bed watching them like we talked about, but actually trying to EXPLAIN that just doesn't seem to work. I might try a version where it's super srs bsns and see how that goes. I'm not ready to let go of the idea!!
Oh by the way, I don't know if you saw, but - I had a bit of a Kills epiphany earlier and made a post about it, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
