In a book series I like, it's revealed that a teenage boy brought his best friend back from the dead by magically remaking him, creating a "forgery." It comes with the implication that if the "forgery" died, the boy could just remake him again. Naturally, this has sparked massive amounts of speculation among the fans, and the general consensus seems to be that the pair were originally lovers, and resumed their relationship after the resurrection. The amount of fanfiction this pairing has spawned is astounding, and even better are the
raw effing lines that are scattered in these fanfictions. For example:
- "What number do you think you are?"
- "Are you the same one?" "I'm the only one."
- "If he didn't care about me, he wouldn't have brought me back."
I'm always amazed by the people who write achingly beautiful fanfiction with gorgeous, raw lines like these for no reason other than because they love the stories. And people say fanfiction isn't real writing.
