phaha, nooo.
World is full of fandoms in which you can write "beautiful fingers" and mean -clean, manicured, soft- y'know, 'beautiful' like the moon reflecting in the water is 'beautiful'.
Bandom is just not one of them. :) And I mean that with like, all the love in the world. Musician-fingers are freaky. They are broken and spread out and peeled and splinted and wounded and bleedy and callused.
The one time I tried playing the guitar and my friend pressed my finger on the neck so it was actually strong enough I flipped in my head - There's a wire under my finger! OMG THERE'S A WIRE UNDER MY FINGER STOP PRESSING!
But I'm cool so all I said was "Hm, I don't think this is for me."
Piano went somewhat better, and I was pretty frikkin good at it, but then we got to the part were I was like:
"Yeah, my pinky can't do that."
"Sure it can, you just have to..."
"Nooo."
"But if you just..."
"Nuh-huh."
"Your fingers will..."
"HURT. FOREVER. OMG SHUTTUP NO."
Don't get me wrong. Their fingers ARE ~beautiful. But they are beautiful because of what they do, not because of what they look like.
Two pics under the cut, one seriously GIGANTIC, to prove my point.

OMG LOOK AT HIS (right hand index) FINGER! HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS TWO THUMBS. Ouch ouch ouch! The only way my fingers could do that would be if I broke them and then made sure they healed wrongly and maybe not even then! How is he not crying?

These two look like they spent the day digging out potatoes. I should know, because I actually did that.

we've sort of discussed this before.
and each to his own etc etc and there's lots of stuff i won't read so i'm not ever trying to push it on someone.
i just wanted to point out that all sorts of h/c are about the hurt and then them being rescued from it. there's no comfort without hurt.
just explaining that it's not so much 'oooh i want to read about people being forced into something they don't want to do!' (some people like that i guess. not me) but more getting enough 'omg NO! SOMEONE SAVE THEM!' so that when they do get saved it's a big impact.
or something. :)

see, for me, psychological angst is almost unbearable. especially if there is some suspense in there as well. makes me a basket case. :P
