#i mean he's baz

[letraspal]

Simon frowns at me. “You’re still wearing your suit.” He reaches up and carefully starts to loosen my tie. He’s become very skilled at this over the last few months.

Six Sentence Sunday! The sequel!

So... Yes. I am still working on this little (I hope it's little) "What if Baz succeeded in stealing Simon's voice in 5th year?" fanfic of mine. Because. Um. I like the potential for angst? So much angst. Also other feelings. But for the purposes of today's little snippet: ANGST.

Since I missed last week (and might miss next week if I can't manage to write something new between now and then), you get 12 lines instead of 6! Also because the snippet wouldn't have worked so well cut in half.

You already know the premise of my fic, so this shouldn't come as too much of a shock: Baz did a bad thing, and he remembers it too well.

He didn’t start our would-be confrontation with any of his usual questions or accusations. He started with my name. "Baz—" That single utterance morphed into the most terrible sound I’d ever heard. Would ever hear. Snow choked on it, because it wouldn’t stop. It twisted and writhed in the air after clawing its way out of him. It became an unrecognizable, fading wail. Only I knew. I never stopped hearing my name. My name on Snow’s lips took forever to die. And as awful as that slow death had been, the silence that followed was a thousand times worse.

(Yeah. Canon divergence begins here. I did say I'm here for maximum angst XD)

Side note: Looking for brainstorming/writing buddies so I don't overwhelm the ones I already have. Ahem. If this story idea intrigues you and you'd like to let me babble at you a lot (I am happy to accept return babble if you also have a WIP), let me know. It's the only way I get anything done, apparently.

Bonus picture of my pile of notecards, mostly to prove I'm doing something, under the cut, along with tags!

(I am posting this at 7-ish am, then going to bed, so if you've posted already all you lovelies in other time zones, consider this a friendly wave hello! Will read stuff tonight!)

“Well, when I was on my first day in the recording studio, Baz wanted me to get as close to performing as possible,” he says, searching his mind for that day years back. “He had all the executives and everybody from RCA, who were back in the offices, he brought them into the recording studio and he goes, ‘I want you all to sit facing Austin,’...and he told them to heckle me. So then they were making fun of me and stuff while I was singing.” There was, of course, a reason behind the humiliation. “When we were filming this moment when Elvis first goes on stage and he’s getting heckled by the audience, I knew what that felt like,” he says. “I went home in tears that night. I really did.”

apparently it is wednesday my dudes

had to take spend a few days in limbo this week because i came down with a case of the HorrorsTM, but it gave me an opportunity to work on Deadweight a little bit more! i ended up writing almost 2,000 words that i didn't even end up using and i'm still a little bit cross with myself over it, but i got a solid chunk drafted oTL

(thank you @artsyunderstudy for the tag)

Baz tilts his head and drifts down to kiss me, but I pull back with a sluggish grunt. His brows knit together in the middle in that guilty, fretful way, so I quickly shake my head.

“My breath’s minging, you don’t have to do that,” I explain, and he rolls his eyes. 

“So?”

“So kissing me will be minging.”

“You’ve snogged me with half-chewed food in your mouth, I’ve grown desensitized to all of your detritus.” He leans in again.

I grimace and lean away, pressing my fingers over the seam of his lips. “It’ll be gross!”

That was definitely a trap; he gives up the ghost and quickly redirects his attention to my palm, reaching up to tangle his fingers with mine and pin my hand against his wandering lips.

“I’ve.” Kiss. “Built.” Kiss. “An immunity.” Kiss.

He’s so fucking good. And I’m so greasy. Baz watches me dryly over my knuckles, pressing a chaste kiss to the middle one like he’s charming a debutante. (I always thought that was the sort of thing he did before I knew he was gay; charm debutantes and laze around with posh girls at expensive old-family parties, draped over all the furniture like a french model. Or a really well-dressed panther.)

“I’ll still kiss you when you’re gross, Simon,” he promises, “And when you’re ill. And when you feel like you don’t deserve it.”

officially finished awtwb a few days ago and after thinking on it for a bit i do have to appreciate the opportunity taken to make them both fucked up little guys that potentially make each other worse but are too connected at this point to go back

Do you think you could do a part 2 to Goodbye, Angel where a few years have gone by and Elivis finds out what the colenel said and fires him. He finds reader only to see her with twin boys but the twist is that they’re his boys and they get the happy ending he fantasised about?

👀👀

Bruh the way you’ve looked directly into my brain…

As soon as I’m done with my insanely busy work schedule next week, you’ll see what I have cooking for these two. I haven’t given up on them, I promise.

Barry: you can't outmanuever me. You can't outrun me.

Simon: *immediately does just that*

Well ok, so I made this account just after the end of the Oscars and there's so many things I want to say.

There's something I really don't understand .

I genuinely want to know the reason why the Elvis movie and why Austin Butler are receiving so much hate on social media. Did I miss something?
