New story: "Sincerely, L. Cohen"

[resonant]

Having spent a little time paddling around in the shallow shores of fandoms that are merely small, I have now set out into the dark and chilly waters of fandoms that don't exist at all. So I've just posted a new story based on Leonard Cohen's song "Famous Blue Raincoat."

Come on! If you either Google the lyrics or go to Youtube and watch a video of a performance (I like the live one from German television), in three and a half minutes you will be in possession of the entire canon of this fandom. Who else can promise you that?

I always tell you the truth. I can't seem to help it.

Thanks to astolat for beta, clothing analysis, and providing the title.

Leonard has always been my go to guy for inspiration when trying to write (not to mention I'd adored his music from afar and finally got to see him perform live after 24 years of waiting a couple of years back)!

So yeah to find that there's awesome fic for Famous Blue Raincoat? I think all my christmases just came at once.

This is gorgeous and fits so well with the song. I love how you've brought the lyrics into the fic and how both your Narrator/Rival voices fit so perectly to the "verse". The way you cut through the past to the present to bring out the truth of the Narrator/Rival relationship is just beautiful.

What you;ve written? Yeah that's what's in my head now whenever I hear this song.

Oh, I'm so glad! Each of his songs seems like a door that opens out into a whole world.
