How Will This Bullet Earn Its Value?

Alright guys, I've never advertised a fic on here, but I would really love to share it with more people because I do believe the fandom is still active and I'm having a great time writing it!

It's Ram POV throughout, which means it's an angst fest because that boy has something wrong with him (affectionate).

Here's an excerpt:

So what did he know about Bheem, really? Komuram Bheem was … a shepherd. He had said so himself: He longed to protect those he loved, the members of his flock, like Malli. And he was a healer. Akhtar had fixed machines – perhaps Bheem did the same for people. Where did Ram fall, on the sliding scale between man and machine? Perhaps Bheem would be able to tell him. Ram knew that Akhtar would be upset if he knew how Ram thought of himself, but how much of Akhtar was part of Bheem? How much of their friendship had been real? Did Bheem save him because of six months spent together in Delhi, filled with laughter and love? Or just because he was too kind to let Ram die? Ram closed his eyes and took a shuddering breath. He should operate on the assumption that Bheem would leave him once he was well enough to be safe on his own, as much as he longed for the alternative to be true. Bheem was the Gond protector. He would take Malli home and stay with his people, and Ram would … Ram would … What the hell was he going to do?

__

The fic picks up immediately after the flogging, and roughly follows the plot until after Ram has been captured, where things start to change.

The important canon divergence is a) that Ram talks to Malli before executing his plan, apologising to her, and once Bheem and Malli are on the run, she tells him the truth about Ram's mission. Canon divergence b) is that the entire time, Ram is madly in love with Bheem.

I update about every two weeks. Prepare for angst and pain and blood and a lot of shrimp emotions.

This documentary showed the immense work that went into making a film as huge as RRR. Not only that, obviously every movie ever made required a lot of work but what sets RRR apart is the passion and love that SS Rajamouli had for cinema. I have been following him since Vikramarkudu which made me change my views about Ravi Teja cause MY GOD CAN THE GUY ACT...he lived the role of Vikram Rathore. And that's what Rajamouli does... he gets the absolute best out of an actor.

Before RRR, I was never a fan of charan. I have watched a few of his movies and found nothing special but RRR completely changed my opinion. He played the character of Ram so so well. The conviction with which he made the audience believe that even though his actions were "wrong" he is not the wrong man.

And the whole sequence of his introduction 😘😘😘😘 chef's kiss. It was so perfect.

A HUGE APPLAUSE for Senthil for the excellent camerawork and Sabu sir for the production. I understand why Rajamouli keeps these two with him.

Coming to NTR. I did like him even before RRR but after watching this movie AND the behind the scenes preparation, specially for Komuram Bheemudo song HATS OFF to you Tarak.

There are a lot of things I want to say about this movie but maybe I'll try to summarize it with these few sentences.

SSR is a director who doesn't make movies just for the sake of it. every story, every scene, every shot has a vision behind it.... nothing is JUST THERE. He knows how to create magic on screen and he does it everytime he dons the directors hat.
