Imperfectly by Echo (PG -13)

Fandom: LotR RPS
Pairing: Dom / Billy
Author on LJ: lux__aeterna

Author Website: fe.tish

Why this must be read: With the trilogy coming to an end and the fandom slowly burning itself out, fic in the fandom has become increasingly more bleak and sombre.

So it's nice when someone writes a completely adorable fic that just makes you remember why you love Dom and Billy so much. You love them because they're *not* perfect.

It's only an improv written for contrelamontre, but it's one of the best ones I've seen.

The first time they have sex, Dom is trying to hook his legs over Billy’s shoulder and ends up cracking Billy one in the eye.

Well that was my first LoTR fic! I rather dug it. Not a bad way to start, Dom and Billy! I need more...

You're in for a world of hurt (but only in the best way!), my friend!

and the fandom slowly burning itself out

You think? I mean, it's a bit slow now, because everyone's busy watching RotK, but I know the best TTT-influenced fics (even RPS) came out in the spring following the film. And then there will be various DVD events where all the lovely touchy-feely folks will be together again. I don't see it slowing down in the next six months.

Of course, you're talking to a person who only discovered SW:TPM slash last April, and new stuff is still being written. FOUR YEARS LATER! WHEN ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS INVOLVED IS DEAD!

Perhaps the finality of RotK might stanch the flow, but Lotrips will not die. I believe! ;^)

(And, btw, I hope you continue to write for a long time, in this fandom or others, because I love your work!)
