Sorry sorry sorry but I can’t stop thinking about the Laloward au where they meet at some point before That Night, and have a one (or 2 or 3) night stand, totally just an anonymous fuck type deal, but then ofc when their paths cross in Jimmy’s apartment, instead of shooting Howard it’s like [Howard and Lalo spider-man pointing meme] “What are YOU doing here?” and that moment of recognition/hesitation on Lalo’s part buys Howard enough time to ask a couple questions about what exactly is going on here, and then he goes into Lawyer Mode and essentially argues his way out of being murdered (Lalo can’t help but find him entertaining, which goes a long way in his book) by convincing Lalo that his plan sucks and Howard can help him think of a better one, and he DOES, which leads to Lalo surviving his confrontation with Gus. And then they have to get out of town, and they might as well do it together since it’s turns out they’re a good team…. ET CETERA!!

#laloward #THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE IM LIKE……#listen they have parallel upbringings - both rich kid nepotism babies - one in the old money corporate world and one in the cartel world #they both put on carefully constructed Human Suits which they present to the world #to hide their true emotions (or lack thereof)#they’re both very good at navigating their particular worlds - howard schmoozing with high powered lawyers and lalo with don eladio et al #they’re both particular in the kitchen #howard is fundamentally Decent and lalo is fundamentally Ruthless (using that one ‘thin bright line’ definition of the word)#and they’re just …. Potente. they’re a Pairing Moste Potente. that’s all.#bcs
