My song for Eva and Gideon is Insatiable, by Darren Hayes. Such a hot good song !! ♥

I've been loving it for years, and I used to think of someone whenever I heard it. I still do, but now that I'm into Crossfire, I feel the song fits Eva and Gideon beautifully.

Hi QueenOfMyWorld,

Those are beautiful lyrics.  I have included those lyrics in this posting for others who may not know of the artist or this song.  Thanks for a lovely suggestion.

"Insatiable"

 

I used to wonder...  how come Crossfire didn't get a movie of its own?  but at the same time I always felt that it's hard to take this genre into movie format because, in my opinion, 2hrs is not time enough to present all the amazing sex scenes involved AND tell the characters' story and the complex plot in detail. Tons of sex and poor plot could end up being a cheap movie. I think that's FSOG worst enemy. I feel its plot is very weak. So, when I read that Crossfire was getting a TV series I was sooo thrilled !! THAT's the way to go !! Crossfire is a story to follow and cherish for months !   Cant wait ! Congrats, Sylvia !

 

As for THE actor and actress to play Gideon and Eva... I really don't know !  In my mind Eva is me! ! and Gideon is a 35 y/o Johnathon Schaech even when he is not my kind of guy! LOL

Eva is easier to agree with this or that choice. But Gideon... that pick will be tough ! I'd love Gideon would be 35 for the movie! That would make it possible to pick among actors that have more experience and art to pull a Dark and Dangerous that I can actually buy. I don't even like Gideon to have a perfect face!  you know...  imperfect beauty pays off!  Not that I want him for Gideon, but I love Christian Bale's perfect imperfections, for instance. I hope it makes sense for you the way it does for me

 

Betty!! I could start having a crush on Hugh !! woah !! how old was he in that pic ?

 

Hi QueenOfMyWorld,

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy yourself. 

Hah!

Gaia-you crazy Catalonian you!!!

It's been looking like we're on the same page with Monica. But look out Gigi's trying to foil us at every turn. She's probably up next (my smileys never work here).

Awww, come on Azmich, we have to find out what Monica's deep, dark, secrets are!    I am sitting here biting my nails and pacing the floor in anticipation of the next book.   

Holy moley! My smiley worked!

Ya Azmich! 

HI Ladies,

Could everyone please remember to clear the last person's posting before adding your posting update to the list.  It can get a little confusing to figure out who's posting is who's.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks GiGi!

 

Is this the actual thread to post these though because I think I saw another thread similar to this one but I can't seem to find it. I'd hate to flood the thread with images lol

Hi GoshDarnit,

I think that all photos of HC and other good looking men are always welcome. 

 

Hi Nathalia,

Those are really lovely lyrics.

My pics:

 

Gideon: Henry Cavill

 

Eva: Candice Accola

 

I have to give more thought to the other cast but these two popped into my mind from the moment they met in the Crossfire building!

Hi Goshdarnit,

You picked some lovely photos.

I miss Gideon and Eva!!!! Sylvia help us, I need something to take my mind off of my son leaving for Afganastan even though it would be just for a little bit..

Hi Jeanmarie,

My thoughts and best wishes for you and your family.  I hope and pray that your son goes and returns safely. 

 

Go ladies go! 

beautiful ###### and beautiful player were really good. I liked beautiful stranger the least

Hi Skeeweestarbucks,

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy yourself. 

 

Thanks for your input.  i have started reading the book and I have to say, thus far, it has been a good read.  I quickly realized that this particular book was written from two perspectives and not just one.  For a moment there I thought that maybe my eyesight needed to be checked.  The fonts were off a bit (which I came to quickly realize that was an indicator of various perspectives). 

 

Even I have my silly moments...sigh! 

Hi Everyone,

I was thinking about the lyrics and what Gideon said to Eva, in the third book, about how he had defiled an "Angel".  I understood that sentiment to mean that Gideon had taken something so pure and good and had layed his sin (himself) on that.

 

I was also talking to a few friends who are priests and theology students and I posed the question:  "Would it be considered a sin to have sex with an Angel or have impure thoughts (carnal thoughts) about said chosen one of God?  First I got, the whole it isn't possible thing, but when the sake of reality was removed from the equation, I got a resounding yes, it would be a sin to have impure thoughts and act on those thoughts.

 

Given those circumstances, what Gideon said was accurate in a sense (very broad generalization).  I also didn't hold Gideon to mean that he was literally defiling Eva, only that he felt himself so incredibily undeserving of Eva's love.  I took his statement more of a tongue-in-cheek statement, then as something literal.

 

Whereas, the song, gives off different sentiments.  It talks about open degradation.  Gideon and Eva may share a power exchange in that Eva allows Gideon to control her , but Gideon, in no way, shape or form, has ever openly degraded Eva sexually or forced himself on her.  

I listened to Closer when reading Gabriel's Inferno, and when hotreads posted it here I thought "Can't believe it".

Of course we women can enjoy hot hard sex as well as we can enjoy tender lovemaking depending on the mood or the moment, but desecration? violation? Where's respect or self-respect?. As far as I know (and forgive me if I'm not understanding this properly, english is not my first language) violation, in a sexual context, means rape, and after what they both have been through linking this song to any of their encounters is a joke in poor taste.

 

To me, this song could only fit two "relationships" (if), the one Eva had with Nathan and the one Gideon had with Hugh.

Hi Gaia,

I agree with your sentiments.  Your understanding of the English language is accurate and in no way off. 

 

I was thinking about the lyrics and which relationships might fit them and you bring up to viable potential candidates.  I was also thinking that the Eva-Brett relationship might fit, but to a lesser extent.  Eva certainly didn't respect herself during those years, so in a sense she defiled herself and allowed others to do so.  If Brett had feelings for Eva, he didn't show them and allowed others to make fun of Eva (i.e. case in point when Brett was talking to one of his band-mates after he finished having sex with Eva in the bathroom).

 

I think they fit the relationship well. The lyrics are basically talking about sex and all the feeling that go along with "animalistic sex", and from my understanding that kind of action makes you wanna act like you normally wouldn't. So, the lyrics fit pretty well considering the boundaries Eva allows Gideon to cross and the way he makes her feel. If you listen to the song you would most likely feel different.

Hi Llurvegc,

I googled the lyrics for the song from Nine Inch Nails and I can't spin those lyrics as anything other than hateful.  I understand that three is a fine line between passion and degredation and think that in this instance, those particular lyrics crossed the line.  I don't see Gideon as being that hateful toward Eva. 

 

I went over the lyrics and looked at them again and I don't think that Gideon thinks that little of Eva or of their sexual relationship.  Gideon said in one of the books:  "..even when we are f*cking, we are still making love..." (paraphrasing here...can find the quote if you like.).  That tells me that Gideon holds his relationship with Eva in very high esteem.

 

I think at the end of the day, I don't think that the lyrics fit for Gideon and Eva's relationship.  I found them salacious and degrading towards women, and I don't think that these lyrics speak to the true relationship between these two.  I think that on this song, it is an agree to disagree type of song.  Good debate.  Thanks.

 

GiGi 

There's a very explicit song, Closer, by Nine Inch Nails, that could be perfect for the nightclub sex scene when Crossfire is adapted for television.

 

I won't post the full set of lyrics here - they're that raunchy. But part of the chorus says it all, "I want to (   ) you like an animal" -- fits right in with the animal theme at the Primal nightclub, a song made for dirty dancing and, well, ....

 

Plus there are some lyrics that fit with Gideon being hawt about desecrating his Angel with raw s e x.

 

You let me violate you,

You let me desecrate you

You let me p e n e t r a t e you

You let me complicate you

 

Hi Hotreads,

These lyrics are pretty hateful toward women.  I get that women enjoy a little hot primal sex, but those lyrics talk about violation, desecration.  I don't know how those lyrics could be considered romantic.  This is supposed to be a romance novel (erotic yes, but a passionate love story at the end of the day). 

 

I don't think those lyrics fit Gideon and Eva's story at all.  Sorry.
