Fic Rec: Higher Education [Brian/Bender] The Breakfast Club

Higher Education by Resonant

GUH.

I've read this once before but managed to find it again this week and have read it twice in the past five days. Jesus H. it's hot. HOT. And not only that, but it's a fantastic look at what happens after. Bender grows up [mostly]. Brian finds confidence [and fixes that lamp], and it's such a great look at the two of them after. It feels so believable to the canon, and there's even a cameo by Vernon [so spot on I hurt a little]. They're also written like guys, and I love that.

Just lovely.

Ooh. Why don't you like the movie? I don't think I've ever known someone who doesn't like the film, so I'm really curious.

i don't know, i think i fail as an eighties kid. the only movie i actually like from that genre is ferris bueller. I CANNOT EXPLAIN IT. D:

Ferris Bueller is absolutely STELLAR, so your taste is good when you like something. :)

[Have you seen it unedited? The version they show on TV is good, but the unedited has more to it.]

I LOVE "Real Genius". I need a copy. Every time I find it, I'm on a movie freeze. So, so good.
