fellas.... (i’m late for pride month but this is for me anyways. hi. 😀)
Firefighter AU. (Probably going to be 20,000-30,000 words) Nothing posted yet, trying bang out the rough draft before I actually post anything. But at least it's all plotted out! (Posting this is just me yelling at myself to hurry tf up)
Both are from chapter 1.
Reiner's flashback (Read: Origin Story):
“Reiner!”
It’s hot. So hot. The heat pushed at Reiner’s skin, incessant and needy. His sweat made him feel like he was drowning. His whole body trembled and he peeked up from his knees. There’s a hand in front of his face. Small, like his. Sturdy and unshaking, unlike his.
“Reiner, you have to move!” That voice. Marcel?
There it was again. Loud. Annoying. He wanted it to stop. Reiner curled into himself some more, shutting his eyes to the red and orange flames outside his closet door. The shadows looked like demons.
Reiner on falling in love with Eren:
It was fitting really, what with the reckless determination that was known to rule Eren’s actions. If in real life Eren ran around like a force of nature, tearing down walls and running through flames, why shouldn’t that also be true for the way he invaded Reiner’s heart?
Reiner knew now that his heart had belonged to Eren ever since those first days of working with him. All it took was watching him run haphazardly into a house that resembled a tower of flames more than a building and then actually return, arms wrapped protectively around a little boy, for him to fall.
It was a pure emotion. So raw that it cut through Reiner every time he so much as glanced at the man.
Can we bring back The Game?
For people who don’t know, there is no way to win The Game. You can only lose. And you lose by thinking about it. When you lose, you announce “I lost the game” and therefore everyone else around you loses as well.
I just feel like this is a fun little part of how I grew up that we should pass into kids today. Let’s bring back people shouting “I lost the game!” In class.
Also, btw, I lost the game.

Professor Potter
Maybe you think a ship is problematic, but ask yourself this: is it wedged sideways in the suez canal disrupting 12% of global maritime trade?
James: Do you think I will ever convince Lily to go out with me?
Sirius: Look, is it likely? No. It's not likely. But...is it possible?
James:
Sirius: No. It's not possible. I would give up on that one.
Peter Pan in Disney Parks
Jason: Clive blushed when I told him I made his favorite food. Do you think he likes me too?
Farrah: Taika went three times last night instead of two. Do you think that means something?
A modern day AU where Clive is a lonely researcher and Jason works part time at a dumpling soup shop and at an office supply store.
Clive only goes out for three things - food, office supplies, and basic necessities. Somehow he runs into Jason doing all three of these. And somehow, the chef/server who will let Clive rant about his research, coworkers, the university (all while looking very interested), remembers his name and says hi to him every time they see each other.
