We don’t tell each other what we think of each other enough or how much we mean to one another. It's nice to just reach out sometimes and give a little love, so make my day and post a comment anonymously telling me how you feel about me, what you think of me or anything you like.

Then post this on your journal and see what people think of you.

Never done something like that before. Anon is enabled. If you want me to know who you are feel free to tell me.

Feedback: Makes my heart feel like Bellamy is dipping it in melted chocolate while Chris Corner is stroking my hair. Yeah. That good.
Warning: There's some sex...and some guns...and some sadness...and some fluff. :D
Disclaimer: My life is flawed and I don't own anything pertaining to Muse. I should though. I've invested so much into their career, I feel like I should own a piece of their stock. 
Note: HAI GUYS. *tries not to quote Eminem* It's been like...you know...nearly two months since I've written anything fic related. So I decided to do this. If you follow me on Twitter, you know I've been trying to write TLS and WITW for weeks but haven't had the chance. Now that I do, I feel like I've been out of the swing of fic writing for so long that I'm rusty and need practice. So, here we are. 10 prompts from songs on my itunes. All different and all loads of fun to write. (number 5 is my fave, in case you were wondering. and sorry about 10...just...yeah). Also, props to my iTunes for not once giving me a Muse or IAMX song.

Author: lalalive23

Rating: NC-17
Warning: Sarcasm and sexual content
Summary: London, 1984. Matt meets Dominic in a dingy night club after weeks of watching him intently. Dominic is sexually insatiable, drives a corvette, and thrives on pleasure. Essentially pwp, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Feedback: It's my Kubrick, it's my Jesus
Disclaimer: I don't own Muse. Something went horribly wrong in my life, I know. I'm still trying to figure it out.
Note: I've been planning on writing this for about a month now. I love Prince. Those of you who follow me on Twitter have been witnessed my tendency to shout Prince lyrics at random. I also love cars. Bet you didn't know that about me! Prince and cars = OH GOD OH YES OH GOD. So, really, it was only a matter of time before I wrote this. HOWEVER, I had no idea it would be this long, jfc. So I'm splitting it in two. If it gets any longr than this, feel free to slap me. I give a special shoutout to millionstar , who loves Prince just as much as I do <3 To sheerpoetry  for looking this over, kind of, because she is an angel. And, obviously, to my plot penguin sunshine_173  for reminding me that I have a fucking blast writing in Maffew's POV. And to all my readers, commenters, and lurkers (yes! I am talking to you <3) I LOVE ALL OF YOU SFM <3

Pairing: Bell/Dom and a few original characters.
Summary: AU. Matt and Dom are teachers at a local high school in 1954. They don't want their relationship to be discovered, especially by those they work with, even though they've been living together for nearly 4 years. This is the story of what happens when the school librarian discovers them.
Warning: Fluff and sadness
Feedback: It's my Kubrick, it's my Jesus.
Disclaimer: I don't own Muse. I don't make money off this. This never happened. I do, however, own the characters Ellen and Martin, and their respective family members/coworkers. They are mine, so please do not take them. I am willing to share if you want to collaborate on something, but otherwise no touchy plz!
Note: I know I spend a lot of time in TLS world. But there is something about writing this that feels like coming home. Seriously, I love this universe so much it makes me want to cry. I actually did get really emotional writing this chapter, so I hope you enjoy it. I've got my cheerleaders dolce_piccante  and millionstar , who read bits of this and encouraged me that it was a proper direction to take this. And I have to thank sheerpoetry for putting up with my email blasts and reading what I wrote of this even though she's never read the series at all. They put up with my insecurities like champions <3 And thanks to all my readers. You guys seriously make my world turn.

 So. Imma follow in the footsteps of my idols dolce_piccante , millionstar , glitterati  and a few others and do

THE LONG SURRENDER INTERVIEW POST.

This is your chance to ask the boys anything that's been burning in your mind. Vida, Julia, and Ian can also be asked questions, though Julia will appear in a different location considering she doesn't want to be in the same room as Dominic.

Ask ~sexy~ questions, funny questions, intellectual questions, questions that make them LOL and questions that make them squirm for days.

My only stipulation is that you please don't ask questions that involve spoilers or questions about future plot points. Another interview will be done at the end of this story.

I'm posting this because I'm going to take a break from TLS for a bit and work on WITW + a story that might not get posted to LJ. I haven't decided yet.

I love you, dear readers ^_^

Summary: AU. Matt moved to Spain immediately after his lover left him to continue his work on the Spanish guitar. When Dom takes a holiday with his new fiancee, his world gets turned upside down and nothing is ever the same again.
Feedback: Not gonna lie, I'm a feedback whore. I get the shakes without it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Muse. If I did, they sure as hell would not be let out of the naughty closet. I don't make money off this. If I did, I would be a rich lady and not distracting myself from writing an undergrad thesis that is somehow much bigger than I.
Note: So. Here we are. We find ourselves at the end of Part 2. Sigh. Only one part left until the end and the thought makes me want to curl up into a ball and weep. I know for a fact you guys will love the next two chapters. ;) Part of this was difficult to write, mostly because the last half is everything that I did after Arianna left. So, pardon if it feels choppy, pardon if it feels broken up and strange. It's the best and most accurate way I can describe those emotions. Many songs went into the inspiration for this chapter. They are all featured on the soundtrack I shall be posting immediately after this :D Dear readers, I love you <3

I send treats, love and worships to dolce_piccante  for talking to me all day about bacon, CVS, nail polish and random TV shows. Also for putting up with me for going on about Purple Rain. I love sheerpoetry  for looking over this entire chapter for me. She is an angel <3

Note: Well. I'll not say anything about this, just let you read. I wanted to get this out because I won't have time for the rest of the week. I go back to school on Tuesday, so I have a busy week ahead of me. Maybe this weekend I can work on some fic. I'll try but I need to feel out my schedule before I know. :D Enjoy :D

Thanks to dolce_piccante , millionstar , and sunshine_173  for briefly reviewing bits of this. Thanks to my commenters. I love you all <3

Note: Sorry about last chapter guys LOL. Giving you an NC-17 rating and not explaining that the big bang is still a ways away. How's that for a spoiler? Anyhoo. This chapter contains two of the lines I am most proud of..ever. In any of my fic. See if you can find them! This also was basically got banged out in a day. Which is really unusual considering it takes me about 3 days lately to even come up with how I want to connect major events. It's like...SUDDENLY I'M BACK AT SCHOOL AND I'M UPDATING DAILY. Unfortunately, I spoiled you all way too much in November, cause I don't see that happening ever again. But....anyway....this note is so off track it's scary. You know what....just enjoy the fic LOL.

EPIC THANKS MADE OF FIRE  to my beta babes dolce_piccante , millionstar , and sunshine_173  for reviewing my fave bits of this, staying awake with me for writing parties, listening to my insecurities and assuring me that people do actually like this story <3

Note: It is here! Dominic's poor, uncomfortable chapter. I honestly don't really like this chapter, or any of the ones I've posted in 2011. I read through the old TLS and there's a noticeable shift in style. I really have no idea why that is, but I promise I'm trying to fix it. I think it's mostly because these boys don't ever want to be apart, so when they are they fight me about it. *shrugs* Hopefully, I'll find myself again. That said, I do hope you enjoy Julia in this chapter. If you were ever wondering, Vida is very much Arianna, and Julia is very much me, at least, the woman I try/want to be. I never want my female characters to be weak, and I particularly love Julia here. ENJOY LOVERS!

I send a naked and gratuitously moist Matt B to millionstar  for being endlessly supportive and wonderful. I send an arsenal of men, featuring Chris Corner, Maynard James Keenan, and Ludovico Einaudi to sunshine_173  for being the best little sister anyone could ever ask for, <3

Note: Many notes about this chapter, tbh. Firstly, I had a hard time writing this chapter, more so than the last. Mainly because Vida is based of my ex-roommate/best friend. When I started writing this, she was one of my main supporters for National Novel Writing Month, and she inspired a saucy Spanish lady that brought love and lolz. Those who have read my personal entries know what happened with regards to our friendship, so writing this was difficult as it brought back many memories of who she used to be. I think I've come to terms with this, and I want to use Vida as a way to keep my old friend alive. I had a real life Vida and she was special, and now I'm giving her to all of you. Secondly, I wanted this to split between Matthew and Dominic, as I usually do, but this part alone is about 8 or 9 pages so I figure that's long enough. Dominic will be part B. Thirdly, the music for this chapter is key. I found this song in my itunes and was blown away all over again about how it basically is the story of TLS. Please listen to it because it inspired much of this chapter. Finally, let's look at how TLS!Matt is supposed to look! God I love this picture.

sunshine_173  gets a Maynard and a Chris Corner for being epic. Yeah. I'm that kind of friend. ENJOY BABIES <3
