Musings of a Fan Girl: a letter of concern to Dominic Monaghan
454 words
Written: October 28/29 2004


Dom.

Dom, Dom, Dom, Dom, Dom.

As a fan girl, I can’t help but look so forward to watching you every week on Lost. You’re just so entertaining. But, what I can’t help noticing are your eyes.


Now, I’m not that type of fan girl.


But your eyes look so sad. Is that you or your character? Understandable for your character, yes, but you just can’t fake what is in your eyes. No amount of acting can hide that. You’re sad, Dom. Don’t deny it, you are. And, there’s also this way where they become this magnificent blue when the lighting hits just right. Like bluer than should be allowed. And here, I bring up the age-old saying: eyes are the windows to the soul.


I like to think that you’re lovesick, Dom. But, not just for anyone, for him. Yes, roll your eyes at me, but you’re lonely and sad, Dom. And I think it’s over him.

I’m not saying I know you better than yourself. Nor do I know you well at all. But, these are things I just can’t help noticing, and they must be for a good reason.

You’re not like what you were when you’re with Billy. Have you seen the way you’re like when you’re with him? Have you seen the way you look at him? The smile, that smile is not forced. When you’re doing your television interviews by yourself, that smile is forced. But with Billy, it’s genuine. You almost remind me of a giggling schoolgirl. Almost.

And you don’t fidget, like one does when they’d rather be somewhere else. When they’re distracted by thoughts of someone else and that’s all they can think about. And then, when you’re with Billy, you’re calm, cool, collected. And it seems as if you’re proud to have him on your arm, to be seen with him, to just be with him.


Have you seen the way he looks at you?

When you don’t catch him, but the cameras do?

No one else exists to him, he only sees you. And he wants you. Not just like that. But wants to kiss you, hug you, be with you until the end of time because you make him happy. But, he thinks its unrequited love. He thinks you don’t want him.

But he doesn’t know, does he Dom?

Maybe this relates to the fact that there’s no photographic evidence of you kissing Billy. While, in some reports, you have -- others, you haven’t. But there are plenty of pieces of you kissing every last person in the Fellowship. Is this on purpose? Are you trying to avoid people knowing? Because they do.


Dominic, you just can’t hide what’s in your eyes.

You aren't the only one who has noticed that he has kissed everyone else but Billy. Nope, you aren't.

Good job!

If it's your musing, it's not fic, right? This is the kind of thing I'd expect to see more in a teenie's LJ, not in a fic community.

If you were going for avant garde, free-form fic, this doesn't hit the mark

OMG I know. It's so blazingly obvious.

Hmm. Sure would like to see the photographic evidence to support your "fiction" to support that Dom has indeed kissed everyone in the fellowship except Billy. Hmm...

WOW I just asked that very same question in several boards! did you see it? Stardom perhaps? I was wondering why there was no picture of Dommie kissing his beloved Billy yet he kissed everyone else! Thanks for the little fic! Yes, I agree, I would love to see you write one to Billy as well!

I never noticed before that he doesn't kiss Billy. That bothers the heck out me; and now I am obsessed with it.

Dom has always said he's comfortable being affectionate with his friends. Dom's always been ultra touchy-feely with Billy, so what's the big deal with a kiss? Too much of a good thing? Only one step to fall *completely* over the edge?

omg, i've noticed something different with him too, i just couldnt place what it was! he's not as...dom-ish as he was back when he was with billy 24/7...aww, poor dom! DOM <3 BILLY = OTP!! cmon now! *teardrop and happy sigh*

From: [identity profile] mouse-mistress.livejournal.com


Mmmmm...loved this! I thought at first it was just my own rather vivid imagination thinking Dom looks sad in all the "Lost" pics I've seen. He really is a different person without his beloved Billy in tow, isn't he? *pets the two lovely boys*

From: [identity profile] shedancesalone.livejournal.com


Wow, so beautiful and I completely agree. It would be interesting to see what he would say to this. Lovely!!!! :)

Aw, I loved this!

If indeed they ever told the public about their relationship (who knows if anything exists or not??), I would be so happy. I would be smiling all day long. :D
