Was watching "The Untouchables" (movie) last night and for no reason at all started weaving slashy fantasies in my head between George Stone (or Guiseppi Petri, the undercover-Italian, as played by Andy Garcia) and Oscar Wallace (geeky accountant who is handy with a shotgun, as played by Charles Martin Smith). It would be quite awesomely grandly romantic (and tragic, but that's just part of the sweet sweetness).
Stone already has his issues, being Italian and wanting to join the Chicago PD, full of prejudiced, corrupt Irish-Americans who have no interest in any wannabe cop Dago, especially when his own community is so associated with crime as it is. So he changes his name, loses his accent. But he's a prodigy, and incorruptible, and just generally badass. So he's already living with one secret (so clearly this is how my brain works) he's already coded for another one--total gay.
Then you get Wallace, a Federal Agent with a badge who's never held a gun, suddenly in the middle of all this action...who would he turn to for help and advice? Maybe the other young, inexperienced member of the team. Of course, Wallace is secretly badass too, and Stone secretly has his sensitive little Catholic schoolboy side, and this lets things grow into a strange friendship that would never have been possible if not for these special circumstances. And then maybe there's something more, or maybe it's just one-sided on Stone's side (my brain hadn't really decided yet by the crucial moment of the film) and then....
ah the heartbreak.
It's beautiful really. (Am insane) Tell me someone has written this? Because otherwise I am seriously going to have to do Yuletide this year so I can request this fic from someone. (Though of course, I also want more Ivan/Byerly from the Vorkosigan saga...hmmm)
And yes I know neither of these people actually existed and the movie got all its facts wrong. Meh. I don't care. I wants teh glorious manpain!
