5. ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’
If the first season of American Crime Story took a story we were all intensely familiar with — the O.J. Simpson murder trial — and made us re-think our reactions to it on the basis of race and gender, the second season focused on the story we didn’t necessarily know about: the Versace murder. The season traveled backwards through the life of Andrew Cunanan (a chillingly perfect Darren Criss), showing not only the making of this murderer but also the effects of a homophobic society on keeping his victims silent and his manhunt stymied. — Joe Reid
Title: “Until My Dying Breath” – Epilogue Author:Emiliana Darling Fandom: Glee Pairing: Kurt/Blaine Rating: NC-17 Warnings: Vampire AU with all the unpleasantness that entails. Dubious consent, violence, pain, bloodplay, flippant murder, dissociation from human emotions, blood drinking, sexualized violence, grotesque descriptions, dark setting, fear, minor past character death, intense dark emotions, brief contemplation of suicide in a previous chapter, mugging, murder, kinda-suicide, tremendously unreliable narrator, kinda open relationship but not really. Length:140,000 in total. 5,000-ish for the epilogue. Story Summary: On his way home from campus to his apartment on the Upper East Side, Blaine Anderson happens to come across a beautiful young man with bewitching blue eyes. It doesn’t take long, though, for everything Blaine thought was real to fall to pieces. For his world to dissolve into a twisted dance of fear and heat and blood.
Notes: I can’t believe it’s done. This is by far the longest piece of writing of any kind that I have ever completed, and I’m so absurdly grateful to all of you who are still reading along. Thank you so, so much for giving me such incredible feedback over all these months and supporting me into getting this story finished. It means the world to me, honestly. ❤ I hope you enjoy the ending, everyone. It’s been one heck of a ride.
