Cinematic: The Libertine, POTC:DMC, Wu Ji (The Promise)

Over the past four days, I've seen three critically-dissed movies. I've enjoyed every second of every one of them. In order of viewing:

( Thursday - The Libertine; no spoilers )

( Saturday - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest; vague visual spoilers included )

( Sunday - Wu Ji (The Promise); no spoilers, but a lot of squeeing )

Tomorrow I'm going to the cinema again. Partly to combat the heat, but mostly because I loved Wu Ji so much, I need to see it again. And buy it on DVD. I have also hunted down several Nicholas-Tse-as-Wuhuan pictures to be made into icons. He's spiffy.

[FIC] Closer to the Veil (Elisabeth the musical, R, slash and het)

This was written as a Yuletide fic, or rather a leftover New Year Request, for caithion. I've been looking at Yuletide participation for a while now, and then I saw a request for the very musical that recently ate my brain :)

With thanks to fyrie for encouragement and suggestions. (And yes, this means it's her fault as usual. To be honest, I'm to blame with her obsession for Elisabeth as well as Tanz der Vampire, which has her producing fic for both, separately as well as combined.)

All you need to know is that Empress Elisabeth of Austria (also known as Sisi) and her son the Crown-Prince Rudolf are both prone to seeing visions of Death as a blond man bent on winning their love, or at least their lives. This may as well be historical fic.

Constructive criticism welcome, especially regarding historical details I may have got wrong.

Fandom: Elisabeth the musical / historical
Pairings: Death/Rudolf, Death/Elisabeth

CLOSER TO THE VEIL
