Title: Stop, Rewind, (re)Play
Fandom: LotRiPS
Pairing: Elijah/Viggo, Elijah/Sean B, Elijah/Dom, Elijah/Sean A, Elijah/Orlando
Rating: NC-17
Words: ~17,500
Beta: laylah

Summary: Elijah's having a fucked-up day. And then Elijah's having a fucked up day. And then Elijah's having a fucked-up day. And then....

A/N: Much thanks to laylah, who is a fabulous beta, a great friend, and my favorite pusher. Without her, I would be lily-white and headed for heaven, but having much less fun. Also, Stephen Geoffreys (who played Evil Ed in Fright Night) really has been doing gay porn since about 1994. I haven't seen any of the movies in question, but I can't imagine they're good, considering the titles. If you're curious, check out his listing at IMDB. And lastly, my very careful perusal of a lovely screencap of naked Viggo suggests to me that he's uncut, and so I've run with that. I don't really have any way of verifying (though if I did, I'd hardly be sharing it with you all, now would I? *g*).

I was just talking to someone yesterday about how much I like the Groundhog Day (though it's been done before that, of course) rewind/begin again story set up, so when I saw this posted I had to read it, even though I was late for bedtime by over an hour (As I am again right now, #$!$% it).

But I did bookmark this to come back and fb, because it was awesome. It's also a keeper; I've put it in my memories. I'll hit you up with some more specific feedback when I'm not so sleepy (and because I want to reread it first), but basically everyone seems nicely IC (I enjoyed your very unusual SB), if a bit schmoopy (OB), and I enjoyed Elijah's internal thoughts. I thought his preoccupation with music was appropriate (although usually a whiff of songfic makes me skip a fic, because it's so frequently so badly done. Authors I've liked in the past can get away with it). Most notably, I don't care for Viggo in fics, and usually skim parts where he appears, but I didn't skim this one- I even enjoyed this Viggo, and that's about the second time ever (first goes to lalejandra).

Anyway, off to bed with me.

basically everyone seems nicely IC

Thank you. Characterization is one of the things that I find the most strange (and most difficult) about writing RPS -- that and how the concept of canon translates from FPS to RPS.

(I enjoyed your very unusual SB)

He's always struck me as a very passionate person, but one who isn't too terribly self-aware. Three failed marriages, after all.

if a bit schmoopy (OB)

I was kinda worried about the sap level, but after much editing and debating, it felt right at that level, so....

and I enjoyed Elijah's internal thoughts.

muse!Elijah lives in my head; despite how it sounds, this is not always a desirable situation. It is also why I write LotRiPS and why it all seems to be from Elijah's POV. *g*

*g* I have a difficult time with Viggo. I'm mostly indifferent to him in stories, but it's frustrating when he crops up as a character in my own fic because I just don't feel like I've quite got a handle on him, characterization-wise. I'm glad you liked the way he turned out.

Thanks for letting me know what you thought!
