The Beautiful Ones - Introduction
With the implosion of 1B of Twisted, there was a fallout (implied or actual) concerning the friendships and relationships amongst Lacey, Danny, Jo, and others. As many of you readers are aware, I wrote a re-imagining of the Season Finale which posted on the same night of the tv episode. I have not viewed the actual broadcasted episode. However, I have seen Internet gifs and have read recaps concerning the twists and travesties that were contained in the real finale.
So, with the "real" tv finale in mind, I decided to write a fic that deals with the aftermath of friendships and relationships that have become off-kilter. I felt that this sort of aftermath would have occurred if Danny and Jo entertained the idea of a secret relationship and how that would affect the dynamics of Lacey, Danny, Jo, Rico, Andie, and others. This fic will be pro-Lacey – possibly Dacey…eventually. I will let my writing determine how far in the Dacey direction I will go.
I love music. Music can allow one to escape their current circumstances. Music can transform one's mood and inject various feelings into the listener. Music can be thought-provoking. Moreover, music can demand response (dancing, loud imitation, and emotions).
Most people especially turn to music when their lives have "rocky" moments. Lacey certainly has had those moments this season. The "real" finale would dictate additional future life changes for Lacey. Thus, music will be a big role in this fic. Each chapter will have a song title and a song may be featured within the chapter to which the character may be listening. Also, I will have a song (soundtrack) suggestion written in the chapter introduction (i.e. like you are watching a tv episode and a song is edited in that scene to convey how the character feels).
Since songs will be featured or suggested in this fic, I will have a playlist of the songs that I will be using. This will be the next chapter. With the playlist, I hope you will give these songs an actual "listen" on the Internet (youtube, Amazon, etc.). Maybe you will discover a new gem to add to your own physical music collection. Maybe the song will stir a memory long forgotten or a re-connection to an artist that you once loved.
Since I am in the land of the "Purpled" One and since I love his music, I will entitle this new fic the title of a Prince song – "The Beautiful Ones". After all, when you are young, you are considered beautiful – especially by those who are older than you. This beauty doesn't limit itself to the physical attributes of smoother, younger skin and smaller size measurements. Instead, those adults remember youth's beauty: a time of new experiences, a time of amazing dreams, and a limited view on life (just a focus on your own "bubbled" world).
With these thoughts in mind, I hope you enjoy The Beautiful Ones. I will be posting the Playlist as the next chapter. Sometime the next upcoming week, I will post a chapter or two.
Thank you (as always) for your reading and for your support.
