when I saw this I was so happy I just couldn't stop myself from starting to read it. as by the name I've chosen to use I love Keanu reeves and that's what lead me to finding this movie, and my love for james spader helped me fall in love with it. as you sai the slash is so oblivio that it paractically sreacms it at you. so when i was randomly looking for fics to read it poped into my head hey i should see if it has any the watcher fics and i'm so happy it did. i've only found a few and one more is deffinatly welcome.
I also felt that you really captured the personalities of the two men,and the real feelings and connection they had for each other,which were hinted at but not made clear enough in the movie.
I liked the way you showed Joel's internal struggle,and how David was able to penetrate his defenses (no pun intended with the word penetrate )
I wish the last victim hadn't been killed-stupid Hollis! I did feel bad that he was killed,but all that could have been avoided if he let Joel take care of things :)
And good one too!
You managed to convey Joel's issues believable and even though the women's deaths disturb me - or rather Joel's dismissal of them - you made that believable too.
Off to read the sequel!
And, hmm, will have to watch the movie again soon, because I got a little idea for a drabble at least ;-) I hope it'll do!
I watched the movie a while ago and decided to come read some fiction to fill in the gaps ( the slashy gaps , I mean ... I saw them too ) , and I found your story , which I loved ...
I like stories that involve serial killers , or any other twisted characters ... , as bad as it sounds , and I think you found your way into the character's mind and toyed with it beautifully ...
Very well written ... nicely done ...
Keep it up ...
PS: I don't know if you even read my first review, and i don't want to sound like a total pusher if you did, but I have a fic in the Anime/inuyahsha/yaoi catagory called Artificial love. I'd be honored if you'd read it.
Happy writing!
