Why this must be read: Remember that scene in Fight the Future? The almost-kiss? Of course you do. This is about that scene and what happened (and didn't happen) later.

There's a practiced art to not kissing, and that's their spring, 1997. Hallways, soundstages, outside trailers, their dedication to choreography is practically maudlin. It's all in the timing, though, and pretty soon their unkisses are down to a beat, their hands never falter on each other's faces, always missing by inches.

They don't miss fifteen times, but that's not when it happens.


History of a Kiss

This is my last rec for the month (and what a perfect story to end with). I hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I have.

Is that cap from when they were about to kiss and she got stung by the bee?!

I had to restrain my inner 14 year old to keep that question from being in all caps with a million exclamation marks.

Yes!

I know! They were so adorable. What am I saying? They're still adorable.

This picture might be even more appropriate to the story...



I am so addicted to that tumblr.
