A Tess x Joel bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s whew
His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.
Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.

Chapter One now on AO3! HNY!
everyone give it up for knickolas pterodactyl hob. rue certainly has
[id: Two digital drawings depicting a scene from A Court of Fey and Flowers; Hob, Andhera, Binx, and Rue meet in the abandoned tailor’s shop. In the first image, Andhera and Hob stand side by side, with Andhera touching the back of his neck and smiling at Hob as his stormcloud brews, and Hob standing with his hat tucked under his arm, nervously saying, “The K in K.P. stands for Knickolas.” In the second image, Rue rests their face on their claw and above their head in cursive script, surrounded by hearts and peonies, are the words, “I Love Him.” At their side, Binx looks confused, with question marks gathering around her head. /end id]

okay but imagine everything that could've been avoided if Paul and feyd had just done this, it's not like Paul or Leto Jr. (Leto II? no idea) actually cared about their political marriages anyway

Feyd: yeah but like where's the problem?
Bene Gesserit:
Feyd: I mean I'm not gay but I'll fuck him if that will keep you all quiet for five minutes.
Paul:
hello yes I saw the text message and how he immediately ran to Hong Kong and I was like ‘boyfriends???? Pls???? Space boyfriends???’ AND THEN THEY WERE HUSBANDS HA I GUESSED IT (this is the only thing I’ve ever guessed correctly)
Sometimes family is a gay astronaut, his husband the ex-police, and the lesbian backpacker who's tagging along with them
i fully believe that if tess hadn't gotten bit, she would have gotten them to wyoming in a month and a half with sam and henry in tow, fixed ellie's survivor's guilt, bullied joel into growing the fuck up and feeling his feelings, and then settled in jackson with them once she realized the fireflies are fucking stupid and have no clue what they're doing.
and she would have looked incredibly hot the whole time
Okay queen!!!

THE LAST OF US + the collective emotional trauma it causes <3
So uhh I have one friend I regularly call babes, he recently decided we were married (nice!) and a large portion of our relationship is over the top flirting. Despite this, our relationship is platonic. Yes, it's weird. But it works for us.
el, she / her welcome to my brain dumping ground, expect varying and frequent dumps of a large variety of fandoms, including some fics I'm working on and most likely plenty of cat photos
