Солнечный день августа в полном разгаре.

AU where steve and eddie are neighbors and pet parents to furry friends who are near replicas of themselves.

eddie is a dog dad to a massive doberman named zeus who wears a chain for a collar and has a permanently angry face. despite his appearance and general demeanor, zeus is a scaredy cat when it comes to other animals. eddie is always worried leaving him behind with his friends. scared that their own pets are going to make zeus nervous the whole time he’s gone and that he’s going to get even more shy as a result.

steve is the proud owner of a beautiful white persian cat with the prettiest blue eyes named charlotte. she’s picky with her food and very selective with who she decides she likes. so far, steve and robin are her favorites and every pet sitter steve has ever chosen was quickly on her shit list. every other animal she’s even met is too. even down to robin’s fish. that lives in a tank. and can’t bother her.

one day steve asks eddie if he could pet sit while steve’s gone back home for the weekend. tells him he has a cat who is too prissy for her own good and will probably be so dramatic if she doesn’t like something that he does. eddie laughs and he agrees but warns him he has a dog that’s kind of shy, but says he can keep them separated for a couple of days. steve drops charlotte off with her pink floor pillow and her food and his fingers crossed that he doesn’t get a call that she’s not eating within the hour.

when steve returns, having heard nothing from eddie all weekend, he’s beyond surprised when eddie answers the door with a smile and a “you’re not gonna believe this.”

he walks into eddie’s apartment and finds zeus curled up in his bed asleep and charlotte curled against his side peeking at steve and eddie with her head tilted.

against all odds, zeus and charlotte quickly become inseparable and steve and eddie do too.

au august day 5: pet sitters

Last weekend, Heidi and I went on a sojourn to Erie for a date day and were thrilled to discover a BUNCH of shops that were already WELL stocked with spooky goodness. It is our happy place, for sure. The sweating, not so much!

The way this home is designed it gives me the impression that it would stay cool during the hot summer months.

In entry #20 when Tim says “somethin somethin why is it cold in June” I had a physical reaction. Why IS it cold in June??? It’s hot as sin in summer months at all times in Alabama??? What the fuck???

On August 16, 1928, with air conditioning still years away, the mercury jumped 5 degrees an hour to 86 Fahrenheit, resulting in the death of one person. These boys found a remedy by diving into the East River at the foot of East 21st Street.

CONSIDER: au where passive nightmare eats the apples gradually instead of spontaneously in one go so corrupted nightmare is more of a looming threat that pretends to be his guardian angel
