Notes: Written for rubytuesday5681 for the bandom TFLN prompt on bandom_meme: "I told him he was probably the first guy to get fucked while wearing Star Wars pyjamas." (Because who could resist, really?) Special hat-tip to Pete Wentz for tweeting a Star Wars quote while I was writing the fic. I hope you never read this.

Even though this is written more like the traditional posts you see on gorgeousnerd/cho_malfoy, I'm putting this on firmament because of LJ post character limits. (I could just post it in gorgeousnerd and not crosspost, but whatever, this is how I roll.)

Anyway! I took fic commentary requests here, and sylvaine requested Dying Embers, my werewolfbigbang story from 2010. And there's two things you should know before I start this:

1. This is a Twilight story.
2. Most of my interest in Twilight is from a snarking/rebuilding perspective. But not always.

If you hate Twilight and the occasional admiration of certain elements bothers you, this post isn't for you. And if you love Twilight and don't want to hear any criticisms against it, this post also isn't for you. I also talk a bit about Sunrise in Winter, so if you haven't read that story, I recommend you give it a try first because it's one of those experience-is-half-the-fun stories.

Ready? Let's do this!

( Fic commentary: Dying Embers. )

Title: A piece of chicken
Fandom: Bandom (MCR) and actor RPF
Rating: PG.
Length: ~700 words.
Characters/Pairings: Mikey Way/Ian McKellen.
Disclaimer: While based on more reality than a lot of my RPF, this is still very very not real.

Summary: Fuck, Mikey was getting The Look from Magneto.

Notes: This is based on a quote from an Alternative Press article: "Toro and the rest of the band also watched as an actor (known to play an all-powerful wizard) eyed Mikey Way 'like he was a piece of chicken'." The real world is more cracked-out than I could ever be.
