Mitch McDeere, somewhat recently divorced goes on a business trip with Lamar. Things... get a bit out of hand.
Mitch is too tired to care if he made the right choice.
Some of the Tags to look out for: Extremely Dubious Consent, Drunk Sex, Implied/Referenced SA, Adultery, Transphobia, hurt little comfort, Depression, Angst and Tragedy
So I really enjoyed this book but I'd have quite liked to have seen all the Mafia guys go down/see how the trials in court would go and what became of the wives like Kay for example. Is it just me?

Mitch/ Lamar + "Your pillow smells like [smell of your choice]"
OH done and done! (More under cut)
“Your pillow smells like….cigarettes?” Lamar looks up from the empty spot on the bed next to him. He had just awoke from a deep sleep, having been tired from the plane ride to their… secret place.
So tired that he didn't even say hello to his… partner before he passed out.
It wasn't like Lamar was unfamiliar with the smell. It didn't overpower him or anything it was just surprising to smell that from.. anything to do with Mitch Mcdeere.
What was more surprising was seeing Mitch, standing on the balcony, cigarette in hand. He was still looking out at the view, so he must not have heard him.
He had never seen Mitch smoke before, and he knows it shouldn't be alluring… and yet…
Something about the man standing out, watching the morning light over the ocean while smoke exudes from his stick and his mouth.
God. It turned him on far more than he thought it would.
But then… it hits him. Mitch had never smoked before. This was a new habit. That probably meant he was stressed. That's why HE used to smoke after all.
Indeed it had been a few months since he had laid eyes on Mitch's body without layers of clothes over it. And now it was clear to him that Mitchell Mcdeere was losing weight, at an alarming rate.
His heart stops. Smoking and possibly not eating was a dangerous combo.
Lamar had lost a lot of things to the firm… his sense of pride, a lot of privacy, his sense of safety…. Honestly, he was just waiting for the day for it to take his wife and kids…
But he couldn't let them take Mitch.
It was only at this moment Lamar moved to the edge of the bed, calling out loud enough for Mitch to hear him.
“Mitchell. Put that out and join me… please.”
Mitch listened to the command putting out the cigarette in the ashtray on the small table outside before coming inside.
He moves close enough for Lamar to put his hands on his waist. And Mitch moves with no resistance. He is easy to move. It appears as if he is a fog, he isn’t making a single sound.
Today… Lamar doesn't like it. He sighs.
He is in a daze, more so than usual. Maybe it is hunger? Fuck. No, they are doing this on an empty stomach today.
Lamar let go of Mitch and rubbed his temple, groaning as he did so, “Grab my wallet, woulda? Go get us some breakfast and…”
He was going to suggest something different but… maybe Mitch needs something more. A treat.
“And then I can eat you afterward. Deal?”
Mitch's eyes widened removing any sort of trance he was under. He nodded enthusiastically, a very weak smile on his face. He still wasn't speaking, but this was something.
He quickly grabbed a pair of his jeans and slipped on a shirt before grabbing Lamar's wallet from his pants pocket.
Mitch was about to leave before Lamar added, “And don't spend any money on cigarettes, okay?”
There was a pause before Mitch nodded.
When Lamar heard the door close, Lamar's head hit the pillow again. Truth be told he liked the smell of cigarettes…
Lamar just liked the smell of his partner, much more.
The songs are either based off of general vibes, or the lyrics painfully relate to these characters. Some you'll be able to tell why if you know the song/listen to it. I'm doing all characters across all blogs so its long and the rest are under the cut.

To make this edit, I used clips from YouTube which I then trimmed to get the exact footage I wanted, once I had done this I put them into an order based on how well each clip matched the music and also identified what looked the most aesthetic being placed next to each other. I used minimal transitions as I felt the clips went well together as they were and matched the beat in the music more efficiently. I would also have to adjust the brightness and sharpness of clips so I could try to achieve a consistent quality level throughout the video as well as isolating audio in clips where I kept the original audio, however, this is definitely something I need to learn more about.
I chose this music after hearing it in the trailer for Creed 2 and thought it matched the action of the clips really well whilst having some quieter moments so I could have some dialogue in the edit.
I chose Harley Quinn as a subject matter as I am a fan of the character and Birds of Prey was a film I really enjoyed and felt was under-appreciated, so I wanted to show my appreciation through making this edit. It was also fun getting to just focus on one character and attempt to show their personality through the clips used.
