Discussion post: Novel length -- The Domesticverse, part 2

[kate-the-reader.livejournal.com]

This second part of the discussion of gyzym's Domesticverse, Wherever You Will Be (That's Where I'll Call Home) includes parts 5, 7 and 8. We'll discuss part 6 in the rare pair week.
Part 5: pressed against the pending physics of my passed down last name
part 7: life long local foreigner, i
part 8: having let go forever the fallacy of ever being alone

Once again, msbrightsidesh and I really enjoyed discussing these chapters, which are, if possible, even lovelier than the earlier ones.
SO MANY FEELS!

Re: Sex as emotion

I definitely think that Arthur uses sex to express himself, probably because most of the sex scenes we see are initiated by Arthur? Like he often mauls Eames when he comes back from working, probably because initially he feels more comfortable saying he misses Eames' body than Eames himself? And then at Eames' family home, he just offers himself up to Eames to remind Eames that he's there for him, and it's not even about his own sexual arousal at all, really, it's more of a need to strip the environment from Eames and get back down to who he really is, who he is with Arthur, because he can't hide that during sex, and just agh.

OMG, I love what you say that it's easier for Arthur to pretend it was all about missing Eames's body than to admit that he missed Eames himself! So true!
