sometimes you need to get possessed and write 12k of sam/adam smut instead of revising for your last two exams. it’s actually really important for morale

Jet lag is clearly referencing my time loop fic 🔁

[theredflagfalls]

I'm coming out of the woodwork just to say that is really fucking trippy that on the same day that I post dom/sub office sex, my boss turns around and says (in response to something I'd half asked him to do but didn't actually expect to get done) that he's a good boy and he's doing what he's told.

wip ask game: hold (or held?)

i am still working my way through these but i *am* finishing them all or dying in the process!

here's "hold" from a wip about ben teaching sam how to give a blowjob :) on adam of course :)

[the-zephyr-zone]

cute little sam sketch that im so insanely proud of that i figured i'd share!

[gotinnocuous]

I have written a fic, about Adam’s no good, very bad day-job! But mostly about hooking up with Sam

[airportdrunk]

Sam: I think it was 2018?

Ben: That I was born?

Sam: Yeah.

Ben: In terms of the Wendover-verse I was born in 2020.

Sam: Yeah.

Ben: But I was already 2, is what you’re saying.

Sam: Yeah. Ben: Yeah. Sure.

Sam: Yeah. Sure. Cause, like, that’s when you met, like, Adam, and therefore I think you kind of spawned. Sometime around then.

Ben: I spawned when I met Adam? Adam: Yeah, remember, you were grown from my rib.

INSANE badam moment from The Layover — The Jet Lag Origin Story

[killjoys-makesomenoise]

oooh. sam/adam being caught kissing!!!

The rough cut was nearly done; Ben just needed to find a couple more clips to fill out a montage sequence of Sam and Adam chasing after him. Ben grinned to himself as he scrubbed through the footage. He had already tagged most of it as cuttable. Useless. They ended up with so many hours of unusable footage every season. Sam and Adam had spent the afternoon looking in an entirely wrong district, being cursed and breaking into arguments. Overall not great content but Ben needed something to cut back to while he showed his own footage. Also Ben’s not going to lie, he did find some sick pleasure in seeing Adam and Sam so worked up and frustrated. Ben might actually have to save a copy of this footage for himself—regardless of if it ended up in the show or not.

Sam in the footage set up a truly abysmal shot of mostly his knee and calf, which then became an awkward shot up his shirt when the camera fell over. Ben snorted and grabbed for his coffee, he remembered he had just skipped this whole video during his first run through because there was another clip in the same location (set up properly by Adam). As entertaining as Sam‘s bare stomach was, there was little chance of it being usable for the show.

Sam probably just uploaded it by mistake. Ben was about to skip to the next clip when he noticed something. There was a tiny sliver of Sam’s face visible that wasn’t covered by his pecs and the inside of his shirt. Sam was rubbing his head in frustration, clearly annoyed at himself. But then there were Adam’s hands. Pulling Sam in for a hug? It was difficult to tell since the camera was still mostly showing up Sam’s shirt.

Ben restarted the clip and arrowed through frame by frame. There was Sam’s knee, then the camera flipped and he got a great view of Sam’s flat stomach, the hem of his underwear, the soft looking sparse blonde hair on his chest. Which was pretty nice looking Ben had to admit.

Then Sam moved back slightly and the camera wasn’t entirely under his shirt. Sam’s face was visible now, or more accurately the bottom of his chin. Sam rubbing his head and frowning. Then Adam’s arms, no, not hugging, pulling Sam’s hand down. Ben put his headphones back on and unmuted the audio track. Adam was talking, much kinder than the usual in game tone he took with Sam.

The view returned back inside of Sam’s shirt as they moved. Ben tutted, annoyed, he didn’t need to see Sam’s sexy sleek body right now, he was solving a mystery. Adam was still talking, saying something about the day being almost over and that they could reset in the morning.

That was sweet, Adam was always good at making Ben feel better at the end of a long day. Sam shifted again and his face was in view once more, only this time so was Adam’s, because they were kissing.

Adam and Sam were kissing.

Surely it was a trick of the camera angle. But then why would Adam’s face be so close to Sam’s? The clip ended abruptly when Adam picked up the camera and shut it off.

Ben scrubbed back to the couple of frames that showed them together. It was undeniable, just the tail end of a kiss and then Adam pulling back and grabbing the camera to reset the shot. They probably didn’t even notice it got captured because most of the screen was Sam’s torso and rose bud nipples. What the fuck. Ben was never going to get this edit done now.

hey so uh. @vincisor and i went fully insane this weekend.

give me a reason to be, 11.5k of sam virginity kink cnc genderplay porn. personally i think we should get the pulitzer for this

[jetgrime]

hey. listen to me. (holds your face in my hands) wilderness survival guide sam making his living leading tour groups on overnight camping trips + burgeoning finance bro adam (extra miserable) on a bullshit company-sponsored outdoor wellness retreat + directionless unemployed ben doing one last spontaneous fun thing before he has to find a real job = POTENT AU combination

[night-night42]

(most unnormal voice ever) yeah sam making adam beg for a point on the layover only made me a little bit crazy. i would say i only think about it the normal amount of every single day. yeah i wrote a fic about it but again i’m actually really normal about it

[raineofthedragons]

I truly expect nothing less from tumblr.

[airportdrunk]

writing badam is funny cause you’ve got these guys who, after a long day of working 1 on 1 together spend their free time together, and sometimes chase each other around the world, and you’re like ok. so they’re already crazy about each other. nothing I can write is more insane than reality.

[bugsjumper]

sam wendover: definitely someone who would request a post-fuck ranked performance review laid out on an edexcel spreadsheet. i’m sorry

[killjoys-makesomenoise]

Blehhhhh your time loop fic got me thinking about a jltg severance au because it would be sooooooo fucked up and I love putting them through corporate hell. Please tell me I’m not insane, have a good day.

Ahh thank you so much! I love severance and it was definitely an inspiration for parts of Going in Circles. I think it would be really really interesting to apply the concept to the boys, especially because of the layer of self imposed corporate hell plus the whole concept of how unfair the innies lives are with how they have no control.

Adam in particular has a lot in common with Helly, where once he realized he was trapped and there are no means of escape his main reaction was seething rage, both at the world and himself. In the early loops where he and Sam were still trying to escape I imagine it was a lot like Helly running repeatedly at the fire exit and threatening to cut her own arm off. Sam however still believes that there is some kind of solution and all he has to do is just figure it out. If he was severed would he find peace in the structures and try desperately to maximize his life within his cage??

Ben obviously is not in the time loop (because it’s a cosmic force) but I think it’s fascinating to consider what would drive Ben to put himself inside one (and if I wrote a sequel it would be along those lines). With severance I think it’s particularly juicy for Ben because there are so many situations where he is uncomfortable or scared, he deals with OCD and has various social anxieties, which he does a great job of masking!! I could see him thinking that severing himself might be a solution, and then what would that world be like for innie Ben? Only knowing moments of immense fear, despair and uncertainty??? And outie Ben going through life avoiding dealing with these feelings? Would it actually make him any happier or would it jus the masking in a different way??

Amazing concept, you absolutely are not insane for thinking about it, I’ve seen other people discuss severance and the boys before, especially because it one of the few show Sam has actually seen.

[wereinsilly]

wheeeee a new fic! ever think maybe adam and ben should have made out for warmth in the car in montana during connect four??? I SURE THINK THAT!
