wip wednesday <3 :)

hello friends! thank you to everyone for the tags over the last week! I was out of town being a silly goose on the loose, but i am back (and horizontal in bed and sick jflasjdlfasf but we persevere). i will tag back below the cut.

i don't have many new words to share, so here is a snip from an old wip doc titled "let it rip" lol it's an alex character study in the world of the bear. it'll post eventually. part 1 of snip was posted here.

Everybody wants something. He's not sure how much he has left to give, to slice off of his heart and serve up. Ugly presentation. “This isn't healthy, Little Bit. You know it's not. You'll burn out if you keep this up.” His hand is flying and his knife is slicing and his brain is short-circuiting. He's thinking and feeling and wondering and it's a maelstrom of emotion pushing up against his skull and threatening to spill over; a tear escapes down his eye and he quickly wipes it away with his left hand. Damn onions at it again.  “You need to come home.” Alex's chest heaves with the effort to contain everything in his neat mental box. The storm rages on, the windows rattle, the ground shakes, the foundation trembles. His carefully constructed house of cards is about to come tumbling down in a fucking moment of weakness—that’s what he gets for showing his tender underbelly to anyone at all, even June. He should fucking know better; even the people who love him the most know how to poke and prod, know how to bring the house down with just a whisper of five words, a hushed plea said into a phone, hundreds of miles away, hoping and praying they'd get through the wind and rain and hit Alex square in the eye of the storm.   You need to come home.  You need to come— Home.  The knife stills. 

xoxo roop

headcanon for sydcarmy that I've had for months now that i was reminded of rewatching Fools Rush In yesterday (rip Matthew Perry) and reading @ambeauty 's new fanfic.

i love the unplanned pregnancy trope with them and also the idea that they would do every milestone backwards or hit them super fast in terms of their relationship. hear me out

what i love about sydney and carmy is how intense they are about each other while not knowing each other for that long. carmy spends braciole acting like a heartbroken widower and ends the episode by planning on revamping his family restaurant with a girl he's only known for a couple months. the restaurant dream he thought died with his brother, the person he loved the most (woah). while sydney is her most emotionally vulnerable with a guy she barely knows (and physically too, i.e the hug after the fire suppression test and the table scene) and constantly gives him second chances when he doesn't deserve them.

they are weird and intense about each other even with all these platonic and professional boundaries they put in place.

in my mind that is rotting from tumblr and ao3, when those boundaries disappear they will do the relationship shit on speed drive. oops they get pregnant after a few months of dating or a situationship. whats having a baby when you have a restaurant? they are already the mom and dad of the bear!

they would elope randomly on a tuesday afternoon after dating for a couple months bc they practically eat sleep live and breathe each other every single day anyways? carmy tells syd he doesn't want to wait when he already knows she's it for him. syd says he's crazy but she may just be crazier for agreeing (also grew up with hearing her parents love story who got married super young and fast so why cant she?)

oh they just started dating a few days ago? syd moves in or they start looking for new places. shes already here all the time when they menu plan. carmy already buys her fave snacks, subscribes to a couple streaming services for the first time bc syd loves to binge-watch shows, and has a couple of her scarves laying around.

and i love that this could go really bad, how intense and how much they love each other (bc im an angst enjoyer) or most likely really great bc these two losers want to practically live in each other's skin and make each other better.

side note: after watching fools rush in again...need a sydcarmy au bc the premise of two people from different cultures, values and perspectives foolishly rushing into a big thing like opening a restaurant having a baby is so them!

here's a snip from my au of the bear but it's a character study on alex (spoke about it a bit during a wip game here). this is chef alex aka carmy!alex:

Alex dices and slices and chops and juliennes, the top edge of the knife digging into his index finger and leaving a deep pink indent—physical proof of his hard work. Something tangible to hold on to, as real as the vegetables neatly stacked in front of him, as true as the erratic pulse he can feel in his fingertips. He leans into the sharp pain, his wrist aching and finger throbbing from the speed. His back is curled into himself, crowding his body over the kitchen counter, errant curls falling into his eyes as his knife moves at lighting speed, struggling to keep up with his racing thoughts. "You gotta come home, Alex." Alex's knife picks up at a punishing pace.  “Mom needs you. I need you.” Everybody wants something. He's not sure how much he has left to give, to slice off of his heart and serve up. Ugly presentation.

find the word tag game :)

Thanks for the tag @cha-melodius <3 !!

Rules: Share snippets of your work containing each of the words the previous poster selected for you. Then select four words and tag friends (like sara, I used a random word generator rather than try to think of them myself. it's called EFFICIENCY).

My Words: spin, constant, contain, union

Your Words: ready, imagine, win, danger

i came up empty for union, but here are snips from diff wips for the other 3 :)

SPIN: angel!henry sequel

Alex spins around, the spoon in his hand splattering sauce on the counter. “Henry,” he breathes, eyes a little wide. “What the fuck are you saying to me right now?” It’s obvious he hasn’t made his intentions fully clear. He stands up and rounds the counter, crowding Alex between himself and the stove. Alex looks up at him, hope and a touch of fear in his eyes, and Henry doesn’t need his old angel senses to know that his heart is beating faster, emotions rushing up his throat. Henry holds Alex’s face in his hands, his thumbs brushing Alex’s cheekbones as his fingers press into his jaw and neck. 

CONSTANT: nolan!alex murphy!henry - actor au

“And finally, the biggest of thanks to Henry for an…eventful ten years.” At this, a good-natured ripple of laughter weaves through the audience. “We've had our share of ups and downs in this industry, but you've always been a constant. Your heart, your courage, your bravery…all things I try to infuse in every script, in every scene. You make it incredibly easy. You've played many stunning roles over the years. A tortured artist. A self-destructive piano player. A closeted royal. A temptress; slipping these jackets on and off with ease.”  Alex pauses, smiling at Henry seated at their table. 

CONTAIN: carmy!alex - the bear au

Alex's chest heaves with the effort to contain everything in his neat mental box. The storm rages on, the windows rattle, the ground shakes, the foundation trembles. His carefully constructed house of cards is about to come tumbling down in a fucking moment of weakness—that’s what he gets for showing his tender underbelly to anyone at all, even June. He should fucking know better; even the people who love him the most know how to poke and prod, know how to bring the house down with just a whisper of five words, a hushed plea said into a phone, hundreds of miles away, hoping and praying they'd get through the wind and rain and hit Alex square in the eye of the storm.
