A little hope is effective; a lot of hope is dangerous.

Yesterday I told Lara that it feels like my shriveled, desiccated heart might actually be starting to believe again, and you know what? I think it's true. It's not exactly a "rainbows exploding out of my eyes" sort of mindset, but. It's something. It feels...odd. A little itchy in places. But kinda great, too.

So it seems my will-they-or-won't-they reunion-based anxiety is manifesting itself in all sorts of fun and quirky ways. Last night I dreamed that Lance was a serial murderer who the papers had dubbed "The Leprechaun Killer", because he was in the habit of leaving a bejeweled shamrock (?????) at the scene of every crime. I was the grizzled, Eastwood-esque veteran cop charged with hunting him down. I was a loose cannon with a chip on my shoulder and nothing to lose! (Because, y'know, obviously.) Just before I woke up he and I were sharing a banana split at one of those old-timey faux-1950s malt shoppes and he was telling me how much he was looking forward to prison.

Frankly, I'm a little impressed that my unconscious mind invented something so coherent. That's the real news here, I think.

Wow, that is detailed! I love that he left a bejeweled shamrock, classic!

I think I've read that fic. Or if I've not, someone should either point me in its direction or get writing it, stat.

OMG even I didn't dream about them like that. You ARE morphing into something!

What is it with you and dreaming about pretty sparkly boys AND murder or mayhem in the same dream?

The part the made me laugh out loud? The fact that his shamrocks were BEJEWELED. Because of COURSE they were. JC probably made them for him.

And you find that out and arrest him, too, and they share a jail cell together. YES.

BASSEZ FOREVER!

I dreamed their reunion performance on Thursday. It was really good... Unsettling, though, when I woke up and it hadn't happened. Your dream sounds like way more fun, if likewise unsettling.

But why were they bejeweled? I mean, wouldn't you have to have something like that, I dunno, specially commissioned or something? And yet, dream!Lance had an endless cache of them hidden somewhere!

Sigh. I give up.

Oh, totally. I'm sure it exists in some fandom or other--just with a tall, muscular, cerulean-eyed guy standing in for me. :)

It appears my dreams are rife with plagiarism.

Jesus. Is there anything you CAN'T project Bassez onto?

I love you. I do. But still, I must retaliate with my trusty TrickC icon. :)

The weirdest thing? I never have boyband dreams! Liking something, for me, is almost a guaranteed assurance that I WON'T dream about it. And then, when I finally do, it's all...murder-y, and...Lance-centric, and...full of tired movie cliches? I mean - why?

Your icon is wowing me with its greatness, by the way. :)

[zebraljb.livejournal.com]

Probably not. I think it's just a special talent I have.

HOWEVER...that icon is completely adorable. I approve.

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

GOOD. I can rest easy, knowing there's still some hope for you. A smidge, anyways.

Leftover stock of Jean Jewels, no doubt.

*facepalm* Why didn't I think of that?! He must still have cases of those things lying around!

Seriously. I salute your genius.
