got a wink from another butch today and it was a life affirming moment 🫡

[skatehepburn]

I'm just in under the wire but here is my @aylinisobel-week #fullmoonofferings2025 contribution!

"someday we all have to die, but not now," an epilogue to "bring part of yourself that you'll let me keep"

(what better way to celebrate the strawberry moon than to have jaheira garden with isobel and aylin, amirite?)

“Do you think Jaheira will come?” 

Isobel asks the question airily, as if considering whether it might rain later. The greatest gift of her time in the Selûnite enclave is these slow, indulgent mornings with Aylin, where possibility seems endless and duty’s beckoning call outside their bedroom door is faint enough to ignore, if only for a few moments more. 

Still, she can’t quite keep the eager note of hope from her voice— it reminds her of her early courtship of Aylin, this inability to play it totally cool where the High Harper is concerned. 

Aylin hums affirmatively. 

“I will ensure it, should she visit.” 

Isobel snorts. 

“I don’t know, darling, she can be quite elusive. Catlike. She’s been away from us too long, you might spook her.” 

Aylin grins. "Ah, but Isobel, I am quite the cat whisperer.”

New Fic: Dirty Work (Hacks, rated E, 12.7k word one-shot)

Link

A/N: Alright so I wrote this after watching the trailer for 4.09 but before it dropped, so now it’s…a very AU version of the episode (what are ya gonna do?) that still sees some of the same emotional beats but scaled differently! But don’t expect it to follow the episode in its plot!

While this is very much an Ava/Deborah fic (and certainly ends on a very similar-to-canon ep 9 note in all the expected ways), the other tags are there for a reason. I know that this fic won’t be for everybody, and that’s fine, but I wanted to lean into the messiness of these two characters and the complicated triangulations of desire that unfold between them where sometimes fucking someone else is its own form of intimacy

Fic Preview:

Deborah could kill the girl. Could wrap her hands around her throat and strangle her.

Bob is raising his eyebrows at Deborah from across the writers’ table. Deborah would be doing the same had she witnessed a scene like that without knowing everything behind it. (Maybe even with knowing some of it.)

Swallowing hard, Deborah glares at the other writers—the ones who didn’t storm out of the room in a fit of red-faced fury after yelling at the head of the network like a petulant, overgrown child. “Get to work,” she orders. “I want ten solid interview questions with double the number of alts by the time I’m back. And that’s on top of the monologue rewrites.”

Bob relaxes ever so slightly at the sharpness of Deborah’s voice, a looseness turning his rigid posture into something more human as he glances around the room. “You heard the boss. Get to it.”

Deborah coaxes her mouth into a coy smile meant only for him as she saunters out of the room, knowing he’ll be bounding behind her any moment now.

I cannot stress this enough: do not get your advice on protesting from tumblr. Do not get it from (most of) Facebook. Do not get it from folks who are leading a “new kind” of movement. Get it on the ground from the people who’ve been there, done that for longer than you’ve been aware there are injustices to protest.

Trust the people with a backup plan for whatever happens, not the ones telling you that if things go wrong, you did it wrong.

It’s been 3 weeks since Hacks season 4 ended, and I’m feeling a casual fic challenge…

So I’m inviting anyone interested to join me in writing some truly out there, off the wall “how did they make this work in character?? Magic!” style AUs for a pairing where we’ve done so much incredible work already with canon!

If more than just 2 or 3 of us are interested I’ll put together a little collection on ao3 to amp up some fandom wide hype for them and hopefully get us back to some of the old seasons 1/2 levels of community engagement over passive consumption

I was reminded of this easily-missed Isobel line today so I thought I'd share.

In context it's actually a bit sad/bittersweet. But with that great, adoring, utterly smitten sigh, this is the horniest I've ever heard someone say the word 'literally'.
