briwhosaysni replied to your post “sazandorable replied to your post: sazandorable ...”

Yeah, I didn't realize until I was like, 20 that I might have adhd because I'm not active or traditionally hyper, and often don't mind repetative tasks. But then I started looking into the other symptoms and was like "Oh. Hyperfocus? Racing thoughts? Trouble with emotional regulation? Memory problems? Disorganization? Inability to ignore stimuli? Trouble with switching tasks? This all sounds Very Familiar."

hmmm yeah I am Terrible at emotional regulation (they tried to give me antipsychotics back when i did therapy bc they thought it would help with mood swings but apparently we were looking at it wrong?) And I have huge trouble focusing on a conversation I’m having if there’s another one i want to listen on on next to be but i can also focus on a book in loud places so....

[junosteelweek]

A month long penumbra event sounds really cool! Though I think a week per prompt for both artists and writers might be better. Or just daily prompts for everyone.

Thank you so much for sending an ask! Those ideas make sense, we’ll try to work something out! As more messages and votes start to come in, we’ll see what people will be more willing to participate in

Ok, in the space vegas fic, we have Juno realizing he's screwed and actually really into Peter. How about the moment when Peter realizes he's actually fallen for Juno? 👀

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3  | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | NSFW Part 9

It isn’t inevitable. 

Juno may insist that there’s no getting out of it, but he hasn’t seen the escapes Peter has made over the course of his illustrious career. If he wanted to avoid a phone call, there was no force in all the universe that could make it happen.

It is important to note, then, that Peter fully consents to having this conversation with Juno’s secretary. And not because he was bullied or annoyed into it, as Juno seems to believe. True, there may be an inkling of guilt involved-- after all, it was Peter’s carelessness that spilled the secret of their relationship to her in the first place-- but Peter would hardly call it a guilt trip, either. 

In fact, he rather enjoys their conversation.

“So this is Rita!” he effuses, the moment she appears on the screen of Juno’s comms. He flashes his warmest, most winning smile. “Juno’s told me so much about you, but you’re even lovelier in person.”

Really, it takes nothing at all before she’s blushing and giggling, her questions deflected with compliments and charm and gushing commentary on the most recent drama streams. 

Juno watches him the entire time-- at first ready to intercede and yank the comms out of Peter’s hand, then scowling and surly, and finally dumbfounded as his secretary dissolves into a drooling mess. 

“How the hell did you do that?” he asks, once Peter finally ends the call. 

“I just found the right way to talk to her. There’s a right way to talk to everyone, Juno – you just have to find it.” Peter folds the comms and presses it into Juno’s hand, leaning too close to be casual. His fingertips linger against Juno’s palm. “Here’s hoping we find ours soon, eh?”

“Real funny, Nureyev.” Juno rolls his eyes, but he can’t stop his gaze from flitting to the point of contact. “You already got me in bed with you. I think we’re past the point where you need romance me.”

Peter leans closer still. “But what if I want to romance you?” 

Juno misses a beat, but he manages a shrug. “Everybody needs a hobby, I guess.” 

“Then perhaps you wouldn’t mind joining me for dinner and a show tonight. There’s a performance of Love in the Time of Vaudeville that I’m told I can’t miss.” 

--------------

The show is, naturally, a delight-- even moreso thanks to a running commentary from Juno, shared behind a cupped hand during the show, and bantered over the dinner table as they share their meal, and mumbled incoherently across the pillows as he drifts off that night. 

Peter stays awake, watching as Juno’s face goes soft, as his eyes flit about behind their lids while he dreams, as he drifts into the deepest phases of sleep.

This is the time to get up and leave-- if he waits too long, Juno might wake up from the sound of it-- but Peter puts it off for another minute, and another, and another. Juno just looks so vulnerable like this, so trusting and tender and sweet, and Peter wants--

He slips out of bed and into his clothes without making a sound. 

Peter wants to not be caught, and that means taking care of the paperwork before the Solar government catches wind of an Outer Rim terrorist in their space. According to the keyloggers he left on City Hall’s servers, the marriage license has finally been filed. It’s time to move.

Getting into the building proper is no issue, thanks to the key card he swiped from the assistant governor’s pocket just before the show. The cameras are obvious and easily avoided. Just like that, he’s in the filing room, staring down a hundred thousand physical documents.

His gloves whisper against the stacks of file folders until he comes to the right date and time. The marriage license and certificate, each signed in a drunken but unfortunately legible scrawl: Peter Nureyev. 

He slides them free from the file and slips them into his bag. These nobody will miss-- enough documents get innocently misfiled every day that their absence will go unnoticed. 

Now all that’s left is the digital record.

It won’t be difficult. He already knows the passwords. Using one of the local networked computers will get him safely past the firewalls and security encryptions. It’s even well-organized, as far as government filing systems go. He finds the file quickly.

All it will take is a few key strokes, and he’ll be no longer married to Juno Steel.

His name will be a secret once more. He can leave Venus behind, and with it the hotel room, and the performance, and the pretend relationship and all its absurd trappings. 

He stares at the file, his fingers lingering over the mouse, not quite willing to open the file. 

It doesn’t make sense. Why should he hesitate? This past week was certainly fun, but it was a vacation from his real life, nothing more. Years from now he’ll look back fondly over his brief marriage, but that’s all it will ever be: a fond memory. 

But he doesn’t want it to be just a memory.

The realization closes like a fist around his chest, and suddenly he can’t breathe. He doesn’t want it to be over. Not yet. Maybe not ever. He wants to keep being married to Juno-- he wants to take him to dinner and talk to him for hours about things that don’t matter and listen to his breathing slow as he falls asleep. He’s gotten the briefest taste of a hundred quiet intimacies, and he wants to bask in a hundred thousand more-- he wants to explore them all. 

With Juno. Only with Juno.

He opens the file.

I don't talk about it a lot because idk if I'll ever actually finish a script for it, but I've had an idea for a while now about a fantasy noir podcast set in Seattle featuring Elizabeth "Liza" Ward, a part-time PI using detective work to supplement the income from her day job. She absolutely Does Not believe in the supernatural, and is Profoundly annoyed when she realizes over the course of the show that magic does, in fact, exist, and is the reason her cases have been so damn weird lately.

Okay, this is such a cool idea and so very far up my alley and if you ever did happen to put this out into the world you would have minimum one very enthusiastic fan. I love it so, so much when characters find out about something supernatural or otherwise incredible and their reaction is annoyance at the personal inconvenience it is causing them by existing.

briwhosaysni replied to your post “yeah we all know nureyev’s super chaotic neutral but i can’t place…”

I’d say Juno’s neutral good. His main drive is to do good, even if he doesn’t always achieve it, and while he doesn’t strictly follow the law, he does have a dependable set of rules/ethics he generally sticks to, which to me at least rules out chaotic good. Noah Simes did a whole thing sorting the characters into alignments and classes on twitter if you wanna check it out.

yeah the general consensus is apparently that juno would fall there but yeah i’d be interested in checking this out, would you happen to have a link?
