Curt/Brian for <lj comm
Written for the 1sentence challenge. I've claimed Curt/Brian as my pairing and chosen a table with fifty prompts. It was wonderful exercise, very inspiring to try and picture these two in all sorts of situations. Here's what I came up with :)

Fandom: Velvet Goldmine
Pairing: Curt Wild/Brian Slade
Theme set: Delta
Rating: NC-17 overall
Beta: Thank you so-so much for reading these through, xr8fordgirl *squishes*

01 Air

Curt and Brian never broke a kiss for air, because oxygen seemed rather unimportant when they were wrapped in each other.

02 Apples

Brian claimed that apples symbolised temptation, but when Curt asked, he couldn’t tell what the apple-worm stood for.

03 Beginning

Before the bitter end and the overwhelmingly intense, passionate burn of their love, there was a gentle, tentative, sweet beginning for Brian and Curt.

04 Bugs

Curt was Brian’s hero: not only would he stand his ground and tell a booing crowd to go fuck themselves, he was also fabulously brave against all manner of bugs (disgusting fat flying cockroaches included).

05 Coffee

After about six months, Curt knew exactly the cause for all the British absurdity: they were forced to go through existence without a fucking decent cup of black coffee.

06 Dark

Sometimes Curt had jarring dark thoughts about life, himself and the world in general, but Brian never minded the stolen, urgent kisses and frantic sex, so it never got too bad.

07 Despair

As heavily drugged Curt writhed onstage, clad in silvery leather and barely managing to slur the words of his hurtful song, Brian felt his grey heart come ablaze and then disintegrate to ashes.

08 Doors

Curt found it damn difficult to unlock the door with Brian’s legs around his waist and that really amazing tongue thing being done to him.

09 Drink

Brian was a loud, giggly, slutty sort of drunk, whereas Curt was more the husky-voiced, horny type: a perfect fit.

10 Duty

When Brian assured him that it was his duty to show him courteous hospitality, Curt wondered what other fancy terms the Brits had for an amazing blowjob.

11 Earth

Curt actually blushed when Brian told him that if he were indeed an alien, the only thing he’d want from old boring Earth would be Curt Wild.

12 End

As Brian lay on the stage, a red stain on his chest and feathers flocking about, he learned that his heart hadn’t really beat since he’d closed the curtain and pretended not to care as the love of his life threw a cigarette stub to the lawn and – simply – left.

13 Fall

Brian was passionate about his whims, but he’d never loved before; when he gazed into Curt’s desire-darkened, greenish eyes, he understood why the set phrase was “falling in love”.

14 Fire

By the time he jumped out of the burning stage in UK, 1971, Curt Wild had provoked an irreversible fire on Brian’s heart.

15 Flexible

It was a good thing that Curt was really flexible, because aeroplane companies sure did not project their toilets for this, Brian remarked breathily as he slid into his lover.

16 Flying

In a lazy afternoon’s conversation about what superpowers they’d like to have, both Curt and Brian agreed that endless erections beat flying and super-strength any day of the week.

17 Food

If the ‘mainman’ invitation hadn’t already made Brian fall head-over-heels in love with the unexpectedly sappy Curt Wild, that love-apple the American got him during their visit to the amusement park would certainly have done it.

18 Foot

Brian had the most fucking impossibly cold feet, but Curt was a born cuddler, so.

19 Grave

For the duration of a day, Curt got to wonder whether he’d cry or piss at Brian’s grave.

20 Green

Besides, it’ll go with your eyes when you’re horny, Brian said conversationally as he strapped the green pin to Curt’s shirt.

21 Head

Much to Brian’s delight, in spite of the electric shock treatment, Curt was still keen on it – that brilliant talent really shouldn’t go to waste.

22 Hollow

Brian hadn’t known that a huge part of his life was colourless and empty until it was filled by Curt Wild’s blazing love.

23 Honour

Brian’s honour, dignity and stubborn refusal to beg vanished the moment he felt Curt’s tongue up his arsehole.

24 Hope

When they first met, Brian’s shy smile held promises and made Curt believe that life might actually have something good in store for him.

25 Light

The spotlight on Brian’s head as he pretended to perform fellatio to Curt’s guitar was wholly unnecessary – who’d look anywhere else?

26 Lost

Curt and Brian’s bets were infallibly a win-win situation, for the prize always involved culmination for both parts.

27 Metal

Curt spoiled Brian rotten: when they agreed to change parts, he bought him fluffy pink handcuffs, claiming that his plain ones would mark his precious poncy lover’s skin.

28 New

It was new and slightly scary for both Brian and Curt, the sheer intensity of their shared love.

29 Old

Mandy once told Curt and Brian that they bickered like an old married couple, to which her husband replied that maybe, but their problem definitely wasn’t lack of sex.

30 Peace

It was odd that between the glittery fame-starved fairy and the soul-maimed hard-rocker, they found peace, Brian thought; Curt called it wonderful.

31 Poison

Curt believed wholeheartedly that that little bitch Shannon must want Brian all to herself: the clothes she picked always made his arse look fat.

32 Pretty

Pretty doesn’t begin to describe your littlest toe, Curt declared to Brian once, with a straight face; he was kissed within an inch of his life.

33 Rain

The only thing that redeemed London’s lousy weather, Curt used to say, was that it provided ample opportunity to snuggle up with one’s lover.

34 Regret

Brian found that cocaine tasted better than regret, and infinitely worse than Curt’s skin.

35 Roses

It was Curt who made Brian get red roses instead of the sparkly man-made blue ones for his and Mandy’s wedding anniversary: these are for her, you egotistical shithead, he’d said; and then to the sales lady, I’ll take the blue ones, they’ll go great with my lover’s hair.

36 Secret

Curt did an exceptionally good job of acting as though he didn’t know Brian kept a secret notebook filled with crappy love poems and their initials scribbled in flowery handwriting.

37 Snakes

When Brian called himself snake-charmer and Curt snorted, Jerry decided that he’d quit the casual eavesdropping on the pair because there was indeed such a thing as too much information.

38 Snow

There was this one time when Curt and Brian drank themselves silly then ran out of the sauna and frolicked about in the snow, stark naked; they shared a frightful cold and much chuckling for weeks.

39 Solid

Solids were completely beyond Curt’s cooking skills, and Brian sometimes said that it almost made up for Mandy not having a dick; to which Curt replied cheekily that his dick was certainly more extensive than Mandy’s cooking skills.

40 Spring

Springtime was for Mandy, and Curt never thought much of Brian’s singing into lilies, but he was more than ready to oblige when Brian knocked on his door with a bad case of season heat.

41 Stable

Jerry came to him with bollocks about Curt Wild being nothing but trouble, with his unreliability, his attitude problem and his even worse drug problem; Brian just told him that he wasn’t coming back from America without the man and a signed contract, period.

42 Strange

Upon coming to London, Curt learned that the British had a name for everything: elevators were lifts, taxis were cabs, pants were trousers and underpants were pants, strange was peculiar or bizarre, depending on who was involved; his tongue had no problem learning all about Brian’s, though.

43 Summer

In many ways, Brian was like a child: he giggled all the way as he and Curt stole away from a stupid press conference and treated themselves to an infinitely better occupation for an August afternoon: an ice-cream cones competition.

44 Taboo

Curt liked the way Brian referred to their shared notion of taboo: bloody prudish bollocks.

45 Ugly

Their fuck-them attitude had directly opposed roots: while Brian believed wholeheartedly that he was special, Curt could never quite overcome the notion that it was no good making an effort, he was never going to please.

46 War

It wasn’t until a few years had passed since that fateful night when Curt slammed the door that Brian grasped his ex-lover’s muttered remark about not being able to win against Jerry and Shannon and Maxwell fucking Demon.

47 Water

As the cold water spray hit his back, Brian looked over his shoulder, his eyes heavily lidded and a lost, childish expression on his face; Curt murmured soft admonitions as he scrubbed the back of his plastered lover.

48 Welcome

Even though they had a notoriously liberal relationship, neither Brian nor Curt ever welcomed additions to their shared bed.

49 Winter

In the winter, Curt would often peck the tip of Brian’s nose affectionately, showing his appreciation for the small bit of adorably pinkish skin.

50 Wood

True to his wolfish nature, in the full moon Curt would sometimes play romantic oldies in his acoustic guitar, singing softly to his enamoured lover.

* #38 was inspired by an interview with Johnny Rhys Meyers, at the JRM fansite press section. I’m sorry I’m not giving you the link, but I read nearly all interviews there and I can’t remember on which he mentions the sauna and rolling on the snow.
