i'm not trying to wake you up

See part one for more details.

( not falling together (2/2) )

I feel a bit stupid about this, but also like it makes sense in a weird way. I've often thought that these pairings aren't too dissimilar from the incestuous ones I ship, because there's that intense closeness but also a really significant line that stops them from going too far. Also, you know, sometimes Jack White says things that are just asking for fanfiction.

I will warn you now that AUs are not my strong suit.


Title: just grew there wild
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Alison Mosshart/Jack White and a bit of Alison Mosshart/Jamie Hince, with mentions of Jamie Hince/Kate Moss and other pairings in varying levels of vagueness.
Rating: Hard R
Warnings: Real person het, cousin/cousin incest, and twincest if you squint. Also, age differences? Alison is 16, Jack and Jamie are 18 and 24.
Summary: An AU in which Jack and Meg are twins, Dean and LJ are their brothers, Alison is their cousin who spends the summers with them, and Kate and Karen are sisters who live next door. (And Jamie is still just Jamie.)
A/N: What is this? This is so ridiculous. I blame this thing that Jack said and restlesspulse for encouraging me to make something of it. XD Title from 'Use It' by The New Pornographers. And I feel like I should mention that I've messed with everyone's age differences a little bit to make things work, but you know, I've also made a bunch of them related, so if you're looking for realism you're in the wrong place.

( Last time Alison saw them, she was eleven and they were thirteen, but even five years later she recognizes them instantly. )

So I want to talk about The Kills. First of all, the important news is that I'm going to see them in concert which is still sort of blowing my mind a little bit, and like, the gig is at the end of the month so I should probably start believing that it's actually happening. I might have mentioned this before, but I don't cope very well with concerts. I get freaked out by crowds and heat, and standing up for long periods of time, and I've actually fainted at gigs before. But I said a while ago that if The Kills ever came to my city, I would just have to go, and it's true—I can't imagine missing out on the opportunity.

SO THAT IS A THING THAT IS HAPPENING.

I also just wanted to talk about the new album and like, the changes that are apparent to me, in their sound and their relationship.



( And I also included some pictures, because I can't make a Kills post without pictures. )

Man, am I done? I think I might be. Can I now just cling to you all and panic about the gig? I mean, anyone else's thoughts on all this ridiculous analysis would be nice, but mostly I think I just want to cling and panic. I am excited! It's just a very panicky sort of excitement.

I knew this post would happen eventually. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about shipping Alison Mosshart/Jack White (it's like I have a love-hate relationship with it or something), but here is a post full of shippiness anyway.

Whenever I see them practically making out while sharing a mic singing Will There Be Enough Water, half of me squees, and the other half wishes Jack White didn't exist because ALISON IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT WITH JAMIE, DAMMIT.

But man, their dynamic is so intriguing. I like how it's similar to Alison/Jamie in a lot of ways, but a lot more violent and volatile. Like Alison and Jamie seem a lot more SECURE somehow, whereas with Alison and Jack it seems like anything could happen, at any time. In my mind, they totally want to fuck each other, but Jack is all married and conflicted, and Alison likes to kinda tease him and tempt him and get him all riled up. Actually, I say 'in my mind', but really, it seems pretty much canon.

LET ME SHOW YOU, THROUGH PICTURES AND VIDEOS AND QUOTES. This isn't as long as my Kills primer, I promise. (I'm not sure anything actually could be.)



( I love you the most, I do, when you're so close to me I can smell the gasoline. )
