It takes until Race is sitting up sharply on the couch, the warm, dark hands of his older brother tight around his wrists, to realize that the person screaming is him. He breathes harshly, rough in and out of his spasming lungs, throat raw from all the noise he was making. His face is wet with tears, he realizes.

Albert’s laugh is still echoing in his ears.

Albert brushes his teeth in the shower -Martin/Races-Stupid-Cigar

he 100% does and i know this bc i quite literally have an answer to every question about this man

also its because he’s an athlete with adhd so once he’s tired he’s never gonna have the attention span to remember to brush his teeth once he’s out of the shower so. ta da

bringin’ out the freedom in your eyes

visiting albert’s small southern town over their summer, the pair’s silly date shenanigans are interrupted

TWLL ME ABOUT BRAIN DEAD THE TITLE IS 👀

- @we-are-inevitable ✨

HAHA I WAS WAITING

this is !!! javid au. davey pov, long distance relationship/online friends/songwriters au ????

it starts before they get together with the flirting and the pining and the blah blah blah blah blah and it’s basically. david jacobs’ elaborate plan to woo jack kelly via meticulous plans with all of jack’s irls to visit him. it’s a good time but i’m not very far into it

the title is from bugbear by chloe moriondo bc. david jacobs is incredibly intelligent but man if jack kelly doesn’t shut his mind down like a 2007 dell desktop computer <3

Any more about oh lei oh lai oh lord? -el

@roideny u and jac are the most predictable mfs i’ve ever met in my entire life

soldier/poet/king au inspired by this post

finch is the heir to the throne that ran away just before his father was killed by his belligerent uncle, albert is a (fairly newly) knighted soldier that fled the castle after the assassination of his king, and race is a low born poet with such eloquent writing skills he managed to land himself a seat at the previous king’s table. race and al escaped together, and once they manage to collect themselves, their mission is to find the prince, take back the castle, and save the kingdom. whether or not they’ll be able to is up to fate <3

the title is from soldier poet king by the oh hellos for. obvious reasons.

Going to ask about 'there’s no plan (no race to be run)' because that sounds fun.

ok so !! small town au. race and jack have just moved from nyc to al’s tiny town in georgia. al and jack are on the same baseball team even tho jack’s a couple years old bc. school teams. race shows up to practice exactly (1) time and then an entire season’s worth of time is dedicated to a ridiculous amount of pining. multiple chapters bc i’ve already written 2 or 3 :))

title from no plan by hozier bc it has incurable small town au vibes and all of the lyrics make good chapter titles

bouncin’ off the walls (floatin’ on air)

saying everything without making a sound

albert loves his friends, but he’s easily overwhelmed. good thing his boy is always around to calm him down.

or i’m always down for a good dose of fluffy garbage, especially small town au related fluffy garbage, and today is no different. based on the song heartbeat by carrie underwood

y’all are enablers so. ralbert art

Another one of my favorite ideas I literally just thought up:

Lifeguard Albert and Swimmer Race

i’ve been trying to write this for MONTHS so. have a thing

this is one of my favorites !! they’re just. really really cute and sweet and it’s one of those aus that’s not really got a plot it’s just. me rambling about Them cause they’re cute

ok so

i feel like this happens somewhere smaller than manhattan. borderline small town au. still in NY, just. not the city

albert moves to [insert random medium-small town name here] from [insert definitely smaller southern town here] (cause y’all can pry southern al from my cold, dead hands) just after the end of his sophomore year. literally the first week of june

and. he decides that if he has to be stuck Here he might as well do something with his time other than sit inside playing video games cause he doesn’t know anybody

and he got his lifeguard certification last summer cause he was always at the pool anyway

so. summer lifeguarding job. ta da

race is a competitive swimmer, but also just sorta a fish. he grew up in the water, he loves the water, he spends his entire summer in the pool, even if he’s not actually practicing. honestly a majority of the time he’s just fuckin around with his friends

this is how he first sees albert

albert stands out on a good day. 6’2, athletic, bright red hair, kinda stoic but a laugh that fills a room and a voice that carries for miles when he finally says something. put him on a lifeguard tower and that increases about tenfold

race doesn’t know there’s a new lifeguard until they switch but OH BOY DOES HE NOTICE

he falls into the pool

like there’s no other way to put it he sees albert walk out and gets so distracted he trips and tips into the pool

jack laughs his ass off

race spends the first week fawning over the new lifeguard and vehemently refusing to actually speak to him

“i can’t talk to HIM, are you kidding??? he’s probably straight anyway”

he’s not straight

albert pretends he doesn’t hear race’s very loud friends start teasing him every time he does. literally anything

albert also absolutely does not stop wearing a shirt for a reaction from the cute blond boy

no. nope. doesn’t do that. not at all. yea he does

there’s even a couple of girls bold enough to ask albert out and he. very kindly tells them no and “oh my god racer he turned them down then winked at you can you get your shit together and GO TALK TO HIM”

the second week consists of one jack kelly dragging race over to start conversations with albert before his watch starts

and he even lets albert keep calling him toni without correcting him cause he heard jack say it and honestly he doesn’t mind it that much coming from albert

by the end of week two race has lost all fear and is shamelessly flirting with cute lifeguard boy without having to be dragged along by jack

actually, jack doesn’t even bother tagging along anymore cause he doesn’t particularly want to watch his little (he’s like 18 months younger but OKAY) brother flirt

and then. there’s an actual swim meet. cause it’s summer and that’s when shit like this happens

i’m ngl i only know a little bit about swim meets from my cousins but. half of this is for plot convenience so just go with it

albert isn’t working, but he’s always been around the pool and swimming environment so. he goes to the meet cause Why Not

and, surprise surprise, his favorite regular is competing

he doesn’t get a chance to talk to him until after he competes (and wins, cause i said so) but. hhhhh

“you never told me you competed! you were great, toni”

“thank you! honestly i kinda forgot—”

and then. cause race and albert are standing suspiciously close together and race’s face has gone all pink and these two can never go very long without getting embarrassed

race’s teammates notice them <3

“ohhhhhh, who’s this, higgins?”

“i thought you hated being called toni?”

“damn, okay! i see you racer!”

race is fuckin mortified LMAO

albert thinks it’s funny. and he’s laughing when race grumbles and grabs his arm and drags him away from his “terrible, awful, good for nothing” teammates.

which makes race sigh and fight a smile cause how in the hell is he supposed to be annoyed around a laugh like that ???

“you don’t like being called ‘toni’, huh? don’t seem to mind when i do it”

“oh, shut up”

“i’m just saying! y’never told me to stop, either, darlin’”

and race stops dead cause he called him a pet name AND it had that stupid lil accent on it that made his heart stop functioning properly

and then he decides to say fuck it and just commit cause GOD he really wants to kiss him

“probably ‘cause i didn’t want you to stop. s’cute when you say it”

and his hand was already on albert’s arm, and now they’re even closer together and race doesn’t know this but albert is losing his shit internally cause THERE IS A CUTE BOY CALLING THINGS HE DOES CUTE AND STANDING VERY CLOSE OH MY GO—

and then one of them figures out what they’re doing and leans in. inconclusive who tbh but it happens

race’s teammates and friends try to ruin it by catcalling them but it doesn’t work cause albert just laughs against his lips and dips him for the Dramatics

now instead of flirting in the pool house before albert has to go out they just make out or smth idk don’t ask questions

they go on cheesy movie dates and they get ice cream and they hang out and talk in albert’s pickup he got as a present from his dad after they moved and. yeah <3

they get caught staring at eachother like. an embarrassing amount of times ngl

also those girls come back fully intending to ask albert out again but uh. he walks out to do his watch with his arm around race’s shoulder and kisses him before he switches so. their hopes die pretty quickly LMAO

and then august comes and they’re going back to school and they’re Stupid so they’re like !!! oh no i’m never gonna see you !!!

and then on the first day of school albert’s stupid pickup pulls into the parking lot and race almost falls over where he’s standing next to jack

long story short, albert almost gets tackled and race confuses his classmates with the fact he’s trying his nonexistent football skills on the new kid

and then albert kisses race and everyone that isn’t race’s friends gets a helluva lot MORE confused

they don’t even fuckin notice they’re too busy giggling to each other and being horrible and awful and adorable

yeah no they’re That couple and i hate them (obviously)

by the end of august everyone’s gotten used to them cause. it’s adjust or die they’re not gonna get any less ridiculous

and that’s them !!!! they’re my favs <33333
