FIC: Move Like Jagged (MLB, Lukanette)

Rating: T / PG-13 / Teen

Characters/Pairings: Jagged Stone, Luka Couffaine, Marinette Dupain-Cheng; Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Summary: Luka’s been a little down lately. Anarka has just the thing to cheer her boy up: the last surviving copy of Jagged Stone’s 1980s workout video, Move Like Jagged. Now with 100% more Lycra.

Author’s Notes/Warnings: So this was written for the 5/12-5/19 @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers Sprint Challenge, using the prompt “Neon Colors” and inspired by some bullshitting from an AU that the Disco knows about but the rest of y’all have to wait for. xD (Um…I feel like I should apologize to Adam Levine/Maroon 5. I’m not sorry, but I’m sorry. xD) SLIGHT 04x01 “Truth” spoilers (in the “is that even a spoiler anymore” category). These kids I swear.

Just a reminder: LBSC Sprint Challenge Guidelines: Three 15-minute sprints to write/draw. 24 hours to edit/post. My 24 hours got spread out over like three days because of Life, but it still counts. xD

“Move Like Jagged”

Luka blinked at the old VHS tape the Captain had just handed him. He didn’t even think they made these things anymore, though he was sure there was a TV with a VHS player somewhere aboard the boat he could play it on. His ma was eclectic like that – she held onto a lot of weird old shit for a lot of weird old reasons. And if that failed, maybe the AV club at school still had one?

But that still didn’t explain why she had just handed him an old VHS with the title of a Maroon 5 song scrawled on a piece of masking tape on its casing. He looked up at her, lifting an eyebrow, and she patted his shoulder.

“Ye’ve been a bit…” she paused, pursing her lips and considering her words. She didn’t want to say depressed, because he hadn’t been, not really, even though it did feel like the most appropriate word. “…despondent lately. Thought ye could use with some cheering up.”
