Love Me Like An Enemy but Daniel runs off with Mike and they get married and Terry is bitter and angry that he’s not ever going to be invited for a threesome. Trish and Geoffrey start a podcast!

some men just want to watch the world burn

[silverusso]

i don’t make the rules

in love me like an enemy why did terry wait so long to try and win daniel again, and in this kind of way? he definitely fell for him during the events of kk3, so why didn’t he try to get daniel after those events? or maybe wait a little while (like a year or two), get his life back on track and then try? why did he wait so long and then marry trish (who i absolutely love btw) instead? because i don’t think he ever really let daniel go.

He didn't fall for him back in kk3 though. At least not in the real sense where he knew for certain that he was in love. What he felt was fascination and a decent measure of admiration, but not something he could process as love. Also, I mean Daniel was literally like what 17/18 going on 19ish back then? Anyway roughly about the same as Mike who ended up becoming his nephew. So It just didn't click for him at that point in time. And, I feel he and Trish had genuine feelings and a loving marriage for a good few years, before they eventually fizzled out a bit and decided to separate. Which is why they're still so close even afterwards. Then, through the last years, towards the end, is when he started to gain a new appreciation and intensifying interest in Daniel. Of course Kreese reeled him back in, which even in canon was way too easy. As soon as Kreese mentioned him, Terry immediately perked up like "Danny boy?"

And in lmlae, the fact that he saw his opening back into Daniel's business through buying the dealership and of course Daniel's own little power play (trying to maneuver Terry against dear old Kreese) well that's what lead them to becoming entangled in such a dark and toxic way.

*Edit: Daniel should have been at least 17/18 already by the time the kk3 tournament rolled around. But we can just say he was still 17 turning 18 right after the avt to fit the "under 18" criteria for the tournament.

Yeah the show is shit, but Silverusso will be a forever fav and I really did love Love Me Like An Enemy. Still do! Thanks a lot :)

Thanks anon❤️

It was a fun moment in time. I still relatively enjoyed the show and really liked plotting out and writing lmlae. I'm happy that it was and continues to be an enjoyable read.

Hi! I’m very new to this fandom and just finished your 100k fic and let me just tell you… it’s fucking art. I was HOOKED after every chapter, literally read so many chapters on one go. You’re amazing! Are you planning on writing more parts to it or making a whole new fic? I see there’s only a little of these longers Silverusso fics with big stories and I’m dying to read more!

Thank you so much, anon.🤗 I don't know you but I love you. It means a lot that you read the fic and enjoyed it enough to send this message. I've gotten sucked into two different fandoms since the end of S5 so all my focus has been taken away from CK. But I still have a list of fic ideas I might write when S6 drops. We'll have to see how inspired I feel. For now, there's nothing planned for lmlae or silverusso in general, unfortunately. But if you're still around when the next season comes around, and if I manage to write anything, I hope you'll find my work again and enjoy. Thanks again for the nice message.💙

I bet Terry was having a gaypanic when he suspected Daniel was “with” Johnny.

Terry: What does that homeless bum have that I don’t??

Terry: Does Daniel like blondes? SHOULD I DYE NY HAIR DANNY BOY WILL YOU LOVE ME THEN??

Daniel:

Daniel: Calm down bro.

Terry: 🔥 🔥 🔥

Kreese: Can you both die already.

Johnny: Am I the only straight person here??

Daniel and Terry: Yes.

Kreese: What part of ‘I hate fags’ do you not comprehend??

ok but lmao @ kreese "can you both die already"

[silverusso]

Now that the final season is upon us, I’m doing a re-read of Love Me Like An Enemy. Terry and Daniel are so messy, I love every second! Trish, however, is truly MVP of all time. She should write a tell all book and have Geoffrey add snarky commentary. Terry would probably approve and green light either a reality TV show or have a movie adaptation! So sorry Danny boy~! 🤪💕 Thanks so much for writing this classic!

lmlae from Trish+Geoffrey's perspective would read more like a comedy. And a tv series or movie about it would be even funnier. Imagine Terry tries to get them to use actual footage from their sex tape in there (blurred faces ofc) and Daniel tries to smother him in his sleep. Thanks for reading.♡♡

[silverusso]

Season 6 is going to suck. Love Me Like An Enemy is my personal canon 🔥 😡 ❤️

I really hope it won't, anon. I did more with Mike in lmlae than they did in the actual show.💀 Thank you for the kind message!

[silverusso]

Lmao, Kreese stands up all pumped up to object the marriage, meanwhile Terry:

Terry: Well Father, we actually eloped a while ago!

*Crowd gasps. Kreese fumes.*

Terry: And not only that, but the marriage was consummated multiple times, and Very Thoroughly Every Time *is smug*

Daniel, mortified: Terry--

Terry: Would anyone care for details?? :D

Kreese exists the church, and Daniel again contemplates divorce. Terry beams at everyone. Sigh.

You know Kreese is gonna be outside that Church ready to stage a siege or something. 💀

Kreese: I have an army.

Silver: We have Mike.

[silverusso]

Re-read LMLAE (loved every second ofc) and quick question: would Terry ever get bored of Daniel and want to break things off? His 25 year marriage to Trish ended after all; would his relationship with Danny fare the same? If not, what makes this relationship different? What makes Daniel different? After all, he and Trish still get along very well with each other despite it all!

Firstly, I always love to hear that someone has found my work and enjoyed it or liked it enough to re-read it. So thanks for this nice message. <3

And about them possibly getting bored of each other…the age gap between Terry and Daniel in canon is pretty significant. They're not exactly spring chickens anymore. I feel like even if the intensity of their mutual obsession eventually fades, they would be settled quite comfortably in their relationship, and leaving each other just wouldn't be something they would consider much less choose.

[silverusso]

If Love Me Like An Enemy was set in Omegaverse, what would change?

I imagine Terry's territorial/possessive instincts especially in regards to Daniel would be off the charts. Johnny would need to hire a security detail lol. I doubt Trish would need to get involved with showing Amanda the video, because these two would not be able to hide how obsessed they are with each other and that they're boning at every possible opportunity. Sam & Anthony would probably be getting a few more siblings and quick.

*SPOILERS FOR OZ*

So this is a show that’s been on my to-watch list since forever. But the reason I know about the Beecher/Keller stuff is that someone wrote a comment on @silverusso’s fic LMLAE that Terry and Daniel had Keller and Beecher vibes.

So uh. There’s no way the Cobra Kai showrunners — all three Oz and TKK superfans, and one of whom says that Terry Silver is his favorite character — watched TKK3 and didn’t pick up on the all the gay karate d/s subtext right?

EXCUSE ME WHAT?!

Oz is one of the greatest shows ever created and guess what folks?! Its so very very very queer

........ Its also brutal as fuck so season 4 will be a blast

[silverusso]

one of my favorite things about lmlae is Trish and Terry’s relationship! they’re still good friends (maybe sometimes friends with benefits lmao) and it’s pretty cute how close they are. and I’m always up for Trish roasting Terry so there’s that haha.

I'm happy you love them.<3

I've mentioned before that lmlae turned out quite differently than how I originally planned it, and Trish is another element of that. She wasn't supposed to be in it as much as she ended up being. I confess I'm not someone who likes OCs gernerally, so I totally get it if some people didn't vibe with her, but I actually enjoyed writing her. And besides her relationship with Terry, Daniel also sorely needed a close friend he could talk to about everything (esp Terry), and it certainly wasn't going to be Johnny lmao.

[silverusso]

Like how on earth did Trish fall for Terry in LMLAE? If they met soon after the events of KK3, Terry’s probably still totally nuts and bouncing off the wall. Yeah, he’s very tall and very handsome and very wealthy—but is that enough lol? The man tried to psychologically damage a teenage boy over a local karate tournament haha! On the flip side, what did Terry like about Trish? 25 years is a pretty good length for a marriage!

Well, I imagine he didn't immediately tell Trish about the whole avt fiasco. Mike wouldn't have said anything either; he's got a reputation to uphold.

Terry would have liked that Trish is fun and way extra, just like he is. And I mean, she found out eventually about what happened, and while she thought the whole thing was weird and dumb, she just laughed it off and stayed with him anyway, so she's definitely a good match for him.

[silverusso]

Everyone always talks of Terry/Mike/Daniel, but we all know that in some alternate universe, Terry/Daniel/Trish is a thing. Lmao. Poor Terry in LMLAE, he'd probably be up for some happy threesome action with his car-salesman and ex-wife! They'd be horrified though...

Well, the multiverse exists in lmlae so somewhere out there this has to be happening. The one constant is that Kreese is always, unfailingly, a dick in every universe.

[silverusso]

My favorite thing about LMLAE is how EXTRA Terry is. In everything! His wealth, his personality, his interests, his thoughts…he lives for the drama and I am happy for him!!

As someone who is also extra, I was projecting. I'm glad you loved that about him, and I'm proud I made him that way without the coke too lmao.
