smoke and mirrors

synopsis. jess finds subtle ways to let everyone know you’re hers. 

an. back on my jess bullshit. though to be honest, i never really left. here’s something short and sweet. apologies if you’re not in the aloto fandom, mostly because it’s good and you’re missing out on great telly !

warnings. ‘hiding’ ones sexuality and mentions of homophobia. not beta’d.

It all started when she saw you hanging with the Danvers’ eldest son. Had stepped out of the grocer with a fresh pack of smokes, and her first drag was ruined from the sight of you walking into the diner with his arm slung over your shoulder.

Rage had ripped through her, a living, breathing thing. It fuelled her, sparking a desire to stalk over there, rip his arm from you and then slug him one in the face. Feel the pop of his nose from under her knuckle, then see the blood start to pour. Yet she stayed rooted in her spot. Never dared to cross that line. 

She dreamt about it later that night, instead. 

Got into bed and imagined beating him senseless, then pulling you into her and planting a kiss on your pretty lips, victorious. She knew it came from an odd sense of masculinity that she’d aspired to but was never allowed to achieve.

 I want everyone to know that you’re mine, she’d whispered into your ear a couple of days later, after you’d explained that your mother had set up the little arrangement. Jess had traced the line of your nose. Bent over you, covering your naked body with hers and whispered, want to take you out and show you off. 

It was bittersweet. It could never happen – certainly not in her hometown of Moosejaw, anyhow.

So, she got creative. Got desperate, more like. Started leaving her smokes in your jacket pocket. Her cap in your bedroom. Started depositing little bits of herself in your life, so that others could see that you were hers, and that she was there, and she wasn’t moving a fucking muscle. Gum packets, receipts, her favourite soda that you hated.

“You left these in my room again,” you spit, throwing her smokes at her as you climb into her truck. Jess catches the packet, waiting for you to turn to her in mock impression – like you always did when she showed off her skills – yet you don’t grace her with your eyes.

“You gotta be more careful, Jess,” you tut, glancing out of the window. Face snarled together, frustrated – Jess sees it in the way you wring your hands together. She licks her lips. Tries to be nonchalant about it all, even if her heart is slamming against her chest. She knows. She knows. She knows about my game. “Just say they’re yours.” Your head whips around, and Jess gets a whiff of your perfume. “You think my Mother would let me smoke?” “They’re good for you,” she shrugs, pushing the half-empty packet into her skirt pocket, in front of the new one. This decision of hers to fill you up with her things was getting costly. “I don’t think doing anything as often as you smoke is good for you.” Jess smiles, thinking that there was a flirtatious joke in there somewhere. She doesn’t say it, though. Knows you’re pissed, and it would just deepen the fact. So, she licks her lips and watches you furiously buckle up. Tries to find a response that won’t earn her the silent treatment. “The man on the radio said so,” she counters, and you roll your eyes, looking at her with a disappointed huff. Her face collapses – said the wrong thing. A horrible thing, it seems, as your eyes go cold – busy with a memory. You shake your head at her. “Man on the radio says a lot of things, things my parents listen to – remember?”

She remembers, of course, how could she not? Getting into your house, your parents were in the living room as the buzz of the radio fluttered through the hallway. The pair of you had stood in the foyer, listening to some preacher spread lies and hatred over the airwaves. Just…leaning against the wall, listening, and watching each other. Saying everything that needed to be said, without uttering a word.

“'m sorry,” Jess mumbles. The word is foreign on her lips, but she withstands the taste anyhow. “I didn’t --” she mutters, scrunching her face up and slinging a hand to the wheel. “—didn’t think.” “Yeah, you didn’t,” you quickly spit, and Jess is filled with such regret that she wants to vomit. The truck is silent until the hears the rustle of your jacket as you shrug.

“Besides, my mother would never believe that I smoke Old Golds…Chesterfields, maybe.” You turn to her, fighting a smile. “Old Gold…now that’s an old man cigarette.” She looks at you – relaxing, slightly. Emotions shifted, said your piece. Jess’ face breaks into a slow smile, and when it reaches her ears – as it always manages to do – she shakes her head at you.

“Damn baby, you’re mean.”

Though she decides she’s going to smoke Chesterfields from now on, to avoid suspicion.

Today's thoughts are on Jess and Jo. It's a love letter of sorts on what they mean to me as a fat butch woman, and it's quite personal, so if you're expecting my usual headcanons this isn't for you.

(PHOTO ID: It's a photo young girl, about for or five years old,dressed in a red mechanics outfit, playing with a toy drill and a red construction table. The girl is me.)

Growing up, I didn't have anyone that was a lesbian in my life, let alone anyone who looked like me on the TV. I didn't even know being a lesbian was an option for anyone until I was thirteen (when I came out.) and I think that a lot of newer media, like Hearstopper, and OITNB has helped with this massively but I still don't see butch characters that don't struggle with their identity. I still dont see plus-size butches that aren't 'the funny fat one'.

Until ALOTO. Jo and Jess genuinely changed my life and gave me a newfound confidence in my own gender and sexuality.

Jess is unapologetically butch, and It's so important that she is. She's never had to play by the rules because nobody particularly cared in Moose Jaw, if you could work, then you were valued. She comes into the league, not caring and not understanding that Charm School is there to weed out the Queers because she's never particularyl been othered. She laughs and she jokes about how stupid it all is, until she is told to get with it or get out. Then she struggles. Jess shows this amazing range of vulnerability as she realises she just can't do it, she cant conceal who she is for their rules. It's almost painful for her to do and that shot where she completely loses it in the middle of a street is so important and so telling. Jess is so loud, and rowdy and weird but she stays true to herself until the end, she pays the fines that she has to, she wears her hovers, she drinks beer and smokes wherever she pleases and for that, she is celebrated. She gets this amazing relationship with Esti, and with Lupe. She makes these connections and is absolutely honoured when the peaches help Jo. I wish I was more like Jess when I was younger, and I hope to be more like her in the future. Her unapolagetic butchness is mine.

(PHOTO ID: It's me again, but older now. I'm climbing out of a white vintage car dressed in a grey three piece suit and a blue shirt, with a pink tie. I've got short blue hair. It's prom night.)

Jo is amazingly well written with so many layers that I can't even begin to understand but she means so much to me as a fat afab. I've never seen anyone in modern media who is gay, plus-size and a good person until Jo. She's the epitome of a gentle giant, who is funny and kind and has the biggest heart. Shw treats everyone she meets with raw, unfiltered kindness whilst also not letting herself be pushed around, which gives her major respect. She's strong and has this funny flurty banter with Maybelle whilst trying so hard to not be the predatory gay, which I really relate to.

In short, ALOTO has helped me (and countless others) feel so much better just for being who they are and if any single show needs to be renewed, it should be ALOTO.

year in fic

I'll be honest, friends, I did very little in fandom other than read (99% of which was Aziraphale/Crowley and Jess McCready/Lupe García) this year, but @squidgilator tagged me in this so here we go...

✨January✨

I wrote a meta post and (later) published it on AO3. Who am I and what have I done with the 15-year lurker? (Remus/Sirius)

These are just my purely anecdotal observations as a longtime Wolfstar/Jily/Marauders fan who has recently spent some time mucking around in Wolfstar spaces from the aughts/noughties. I have not made any attempt to review Wolfstar fandom history in any sort of comprehensive or systematic way before spouting off like I know something in this post. Also, I wrote this on a whim in a little over an hour, so please forgive any mistakes/sparse sourcing.

Early Wolfstar Fandom vs. Today

✨June✨

I accidentally solicited a prompt then decided to try this writing thing with a tiny drabble featuring the Potter cat. (James/Lily)

“He shoots. He scores! Another ten points to Gryffindor. Potter’s on fire tonight. Look, he’s taken possession of the Quaffle again! Excellent broom handling as he dodges left and right. That hoop is wide open… goal!”

Harry claps his chubby hands, giggling, as James scoops up more baby food.

Dinner, Interrupted

✨August✨

My first fic, written for Cruel Summer fic fest! I haven't been able to bring myself to read it since, but hopefully it holds up. (Remus/Sirius)

He should have known that it had never been him and Remus alone together in the middle of London, hunched over cheap chips as their breath mingled with the exhaled smog of the city.

The wolf had always been there too.

it's not enough (this time)

Open tag! I'm loving everyone's wrap-up posts, so please share! <3

[ohcaptains]

congrats on hitting 10k!! That’s awesome and as someone who’s read ur stuff over and over, you completely deserve it !!

for the blurb night, if this inspires anything; Jess from a league of their own being obsessed with messing up a femme reader’s make up? It’s one thing for her to smear her own lipstick on a napkin or the back of her hand after a game, but the messing up of something so meticulously done just for her drives her a bit 👀 smut or fluff, whatever it inspires! Ty! :)<3

I'm -- soooooooooogay

Jess was always so careful with you. Until she wasn’t.

“Shh,” she whispers, dragging her thumb across your lower lip. Your eyes flutter closed for a brief second, and Jess sinks into the feel of it. The feel of control, of having you under her thumb – literally.

You blink awake, shaking your head at yourself. “Jess,” you start, but she frowns. “I said shh,” she tuts, faux mad at you. “You can’t hear me or something?” She walks forward, and you immediately stumble back with her, the force of her body pushing you into the wall. “Jess—” “You can’t hear me?”

She looks at you now. Big eyes staring holes into yours. Her thumb is still on your lips, her hand still on your jaw. “N-No,” you stutter start, shaking your head – as far as her hand will allow. She raises her eyebrows. Hard Jess is here now. The Jess whose face screws into a bolt.

“I-I mean, I mean—yes, yes, I can hear you.” “Good,” she grins, nodding her head to you, eyes at your lips. It’s silent, for a second. But it feels like an eternity. Just her staring at your mouth, her thumb sliding back and forth, back, and forth.

“Always so pretty for me,” she whispers, leaning closer. She pushes her forward against yours, and your body goes to jelly. It always does around Jess. It’s like this superpower that she has.

Of course they win the game you couldn’t go to. She came home, all swagger and confidence. Tore off that silly dress and now she’s doting her vest top and silly red shorts. You look down between your bodies. See her nipples pushing through her white vest, and you move to kiss her, but her grasp is tight. Not painful – just, steady. Strong. Like her. Your Jess.

“So pretty, with your lipstick and eyeliner.”

She slowly rests her mouth against your ear, and her hot breath and the softness of her lips force shivers down your spine. “Mm,” you hum, jutting your hips out, fidgeting to get closer.

Jess ignores you. Carries on with her torment.

You glance at her, and she catches your eyes. “So put together,” she grins, “but what if I—” and she pushes her thump into your lips, then across them, smearing the red of your lipstick over your cheek. You gasp, her name on your lips, and then she’s kissing under your jaw, smothering any sense that you might have had. Jess grazes her teeth over your flesh, and you don’t care that she’s fucked up your lipstick. Don’t care that she’s smeared it over your cheek, because she’s sucking a bruise into your skin. Heat pushes between your thighs.

“J-Jess,” you manage to stutter, and she cackles like she’s won a prize. Kisses over your cheek, quickly, before pressing a big, deep one against your lips. When she pulls away, she’s got your lipstick smeared over her chin, and her eyes are alive as she says, “Even prettier when you’re messy.”
