No Harm Done by Childeproof (R)

Fandom: Lotrps
Pairing: Sean B/Viggo
Author on LJ: childeproof
Author Website: None, as far as I'm aware.
Warning: childeproof cautions everyone that "sensitive readers may be shocked by the fact that Viggo wears Birkenstocks in this fic. Usual warnings for coarse language and m/m sex."
Why this must be read:

It's been 22 years since the film was released -- are we finally all agreed upon the fact that the only good things about Fast Times at Ridgemont High are Judge Reinhold in a faux-Pirate suit and Sean Penn? (Uh, if not, feel free to direct your rage-filled letters to my lj email.) I re-watched it recently with my roommate and found that we spent most of the movie paying more attention to our fascinating new sofa cushions than to the screen. The only thing that consistently grabbed our attention was Spicolli and, dude, his brilliant lines. "Learning about Cuba, and having some food!"

Thankfully, No Harm Done doesn't have any of those moments of mind-numbingness. What it does have, though, is an absolute plethora of Spicolli-esque lines -- lines that force you to pay attention because of their creativity, their humor, or their references to Sean Bean in a towel. childeproof is excellent at coming up with unique, subtle descriptions and sly shots of dry wit -- as well as excellent at not letting all of her obvious writing skill minimize the total hotness of the Viggo/Sean pairing. *g*

Go, marvel, and enjoy!

Just had this pointed out to me, via feedback from unfamiliar names - thank you! Though, shamefully, I have never seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High and thus cannot tell whether 'Spicolli-esque' is a good thing to be...

Well, I suppose whether you think it's positive or not depends on how much you appreciate being compared to a high-school surfer burnout who actually says the word "gnarly" and carries around bagels in his pants. Heh! For what it's worth, I meant it to be a compliment. Spicolli has -- by far -- the best dialogue in the movie.

BTW, I wouldn't consider not having seen the film shameful. Hell, it's not nearly as shamefully as the fact that I personally haven't left you any feedback on this fic, despite having recced it here (though I'm so glad that other people found it through this post)! Will remedy that.

Thanks so much for the comment and for your wonderful stories!

A high-school surfer burnout with an intimate bagel-wearing habit???

Now I certainly need to see it.

In between writing an all-too-RL project and another instalment of my Viggo-is-unreadable and Sean-is-a-basket-case saga, that is.
