That absolute yearning between two people. The longing to be closer, to share more and to become part of each other!! That need to be ONE…. Is there anything more exhilarating in life than that?
All these scenes are beautiful examples of that desire for more and are portrayed with wonderful emotion by Alex. Which one brings out that aching feeling of another’s touch the most for you?
(1) Mick & Beth : That moment of surrender.
(2) Stan & Zoe: Did luck bring them together?
(3) Jack & Pearl: Weeks of desire, turned into action…
(4) Andy & Lisa: An undeniable connection?
(5) Mick & Coraline: The raw power of attraction!

You should do a series on slash fiction in the fandoms, that’d be cool, maybe do a couple of interviews with writers, get a perspective from the Moonlight side of things, I know at least a couple of people who’d be happy to discuss McDanno slash. The H50 slash fandom is a juggernaut, I’ve often wondered what people outside that side of things think, and it they ever wonder ‘well just why in the hell are we actually into this slash thing’ *LOL*

I do have a few theories of my own about it. Maybe I should invite some of the slash writers to do a short essay on why they got into writing it. Would be interesting to see what all the different reasons are and if any of my theories hold water. 🙂

I think it can be a wonderful fun idea. I will write a post of invitation and see how many writers would be interested to participate.
I am thinking of adding spesific (optional) questions to get some universal answers as well.
You can send me yours whenever you have written it. Maybe it can assist me in writing the invitation

No worries, just wanted to make sure everything went through okay. Sometimes my email server spits the dummy & doesn’t send files through properly. I’d be very interested to know if anything I wrote in my essay matched the ideas you had about why people get into slash. 🙂

You have already answered a lot of questions I have down to ask everybody, so I think I am on the right track. But as you say, so many writers, so many reasons.
I think it is going to be a I very interesting study to do. I hope the other writers will respond positively! 🙂

For me this scene on the roof was the first time they realised how strong their attraction for each other actually was. There was so much “said” between the two of them with their faces and body language. (Like you said so TENDER, SEXY & BELIEVABLE)
Only thing perventing them from doing anything about it then, was Andy’s hope of getting his wife back.
LikeLike
All these scene were so much about firsts for me………
1) Mick, for the first time allowing someone near his heart again, allowing himself to feel something for somebody else
2) Stan promised Zoe her best kiss ever….and the way he said it, made me feel it that for sure it is going to be true.
3) Jack & Pearl for the first time about to consummate those feeling that’s been there between them since day one.
4) Andy for the first time acknowleding he might feel something more for somebody other than his wife
5) Mick for the first time showing Coraline that inside the accountant/musician there is a real passionate dangerous creature. I think that is what got her so crazy about him.

I thought I did give you the link to this story on the Moonlight vampire bodies, a while ago. You must remember each Vampire story have their own mythology. Moonlight will not be the same as other stories.
Short answer, in more than one episode was it proven that the Moonlight vampires to have a hearbeat.

I have to admit, I voted for Stan/Zoe because of the way his hands are cupping her face, so freakin’ghot! Ok, it’s not the best “longing” to touch, there will always be Mick/Beth, because there is so much aching/longing in their relationship, they can’t barely take it!
