quadruple drabble: Love and Sin
Jul. 27th, 2004 07:51 pmTitle: Love and Sin
Author: Sunshine (sunshine_3152003@yahoo.co.uk)
Archive: Rugbytackling, anywhere else please ask first (though I'll be flattered and probably say yes anyway)
Pairing: Sean/Viggo
Disclaimer: None of this is true and the author does not claim it to be. No disrespect is intended towards the actors or religion mentioned.
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Mentions of slash and religion (and illusions to het sex). If that's not your thing, please do not read.
Summary: Viggo contemplates love and sin.
Feedback: Yes please! I adore it.
Notes: please read the side notes at the end of the story.
It was wrong.
If there was one thing that Viggo had learned from all of his childhood Sundays spent crammed into uncomfortable wooden pews in various Protestant and Catholic churches, it was that homosexuality was wrong. Bad. Evil, even. And all who practised it went to hell.
Which created a bit of a problem for Viggo now, whose heart was completely wrapped up in his co-star. His best friend. The love of his life. Sean Bean. Who just happened to be male as well.
And while the two men made love one cold October night, Viggo found the condemning words of his old pastors floating through his mind unbidden. Found the words judging every act between the lovers as it happened. They told him exactly what he was doing. Exactly what he was feeling. And exactly how it was wrong.
It was wrong to enjoy the feel of Sean's firm and smooth lips underneath his own. They should be a woman's soft and pliant lips instead. A woman who would yield their mouth over to Viggo's questing tongue, instead of Viggo yielding to Sean's own tongue.
It was wrong to want to hold Sean straining and leaking cock in his hand. Viggo should want to caress a pair of firm breasts, and suck on the pert nipples. Not want to suck the juices straight from Sean's body.
It was wrong to spread his legs for Sean and to allow the other man to touch him in his most intimate of spots, first with fingers and then with his swollen cock. And it was wrong for Viggo to see stars as he did it, and to feel pain and pleasure and passion and love all wrapped in one ball of flame, rolling around his chest and head and mind.
Most of all, it was wrong to love Sean with every fiber of his being.
But if it was wrong, Viggo pondered as he lay quietly in the afterglow, then how come it felt so right? How could love, any sort of love, be wrong? But if it was, Viggo rationalized as he huddled closer to the warmth of Sean's spent and sleeping body, and if he did go to hell, then so what? Because Sean would be there as well, and any place with Sean there couldn't be all that bad anyway.
The End
Side Notes: PLEASE READ BEFORE REPLYING!!! This was my first attempt at a drabble. It morphed into a quadruple drabble however, because writing short stories doesn't come easily to me. I'm a bit long-winded for it. Probably very predictable and anti-religion, but please don't take it personally anyone. I know that not all religions, churches or pastors/ministers/preachers are anti-gay, but I'm basing my story loosely on the one's that are. For the record, I AM religious, but that doesn't mean I believe in EVERYTHING that the church says. I say it's good to question things.

Date: 2004-07-28 08:42 am (UTC)You're so kind!
I'm glad I don't have to justify my writing, but I was kind of worried (being rather new and all to the group) that someone might take offense or something. I'm glad this isn't the case.
This was, jeez am running out of bloody adjectives, fab!
Aww, you're making me blush! Thank you for all of your wonderful comments.

You go girl and if you carry on writing like this I will carry on making you blush!
I'd best get out the coverup then, cause I will be pink for quite some time. *kisses you for your comments*

Date: 2004-07-28 02:56 am (UTC)I really enjoyed the contemplative mood of your writing and I am sure no-one will take offense. A great 'quadruple drabble'! :)
quadruple indeed!
Date: 2004-07-28 08:46 am (UTC)Being wordy is a good thing though; I love reading long stories and yours are great! And yes, drabbles are hard. I didn't think they would be when I started this one, but then I kept adding more and more and the word count kept going up and up... hence the quadruple drabble instead of single drabble. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the mood; I was a little hesitant about posting this, but apparently it is not as offensive as I thought people might find it. *sighs in relief*
Thanks for your kind comments! *hugs you*

Date: 2004-07-28 08:51 am (UTC)Glad to hear it! I'm finding that the people in this community are a very supportive and open-minded bunch (which I should have expected, given the subject matter) ;)
Terrific and original view on the situation.
Thanks! You hit on another one of my insecurities, wondering if this had been done way too many times before and I was just rehashing it.
Thanks for sharing.

It was really good. Yea you!

3.) And as a bean fic lover, I must say this is GREAT!!
YAY!!!
Thanks :)
Date: 2004-07-28 05:32 pm (UTC)Wow, thanks! *hugs you* I'm glad you think that I handled the subject well. I myself am straight, but I tried to imagine what it would feel like to be told by someone you respect that what you are and what you are doing is wrong. I'm pleased that you found it well balanced as well.
And as a bean fic lover, I must say this is GREAT!!
Lol. All hail the gorgeousness that is Sean Bean. And Viggo Mortensen. And any and every fic that pairs the two of them together.
Thanks for the comment!
