3 ships you like: oh goodness uhh I haven't been super into ships recently but I like forthur (h2g2) and bence (the ship name I made up for my own OCs lmao) and I can't think of any others that I'm into currently

Honorable mention: spirk because I feel like I haven't watched enough TOS to be a true spirk fan

First ship ever: flashbacks to when I was scrolling ineffable husbands fanart on fuckign google images when I was 15. Before then MAYBE forthur bc I definitely thought they had something nonheteronormative happening before I started using the internet but idk if that counts. WAIT maybe Joan and Sherlock from Elementary (but I didn't actually want them to get together romantically I just liked their queerplatonic vibes)

Last song you heard: Shadows by Nick Lutsko (as recommended to me by my roommate) (I liked it)

Favorite childhood book: the May Bird and the Ever After series by Jodi Lynn Anderson, also Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll

Currently reading: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde but I STILL haven't picked it up in over two months I'm so sorry

Currently watching: Columbo!!!!!!!!! and also rewatching 1670 in the original Polish for um reasons

Christmas gift for @volcanicflowers

Arthur was in the kitchen, trying out this new herbal tea recipe he had snagged in his and Ford’s time in a new planet. The kitchen was a fairly abnormal looking place that displayed the contrasting identities of both Ford and Arthur. This was inevitable as they are both rather perculiar in their own ways.

If you would think back to when they first met, you may not expect them to be where they are now. Back when they were both fairly young and naive, it would come a shock for them to know they have married and are now travelling around the universe in a spaceship gifted to them by none other than Zaphod Beelebrox, a man with great style and two beautiful faces. This would seem particularly idiotic to Arthur as he had no belief in aliens.

“Arthur dear, has the Newspaper read to you yet?” Ford swung through the door with so much anticipation it would put Eddie’s desire to be useful to shame.

“No, why have I missed something?” Arthur responded to his husband. Ford always got excited by the newspaper articles and of course like a good lover, Arthur shared the same enthusiasm.

“Listen to it, just listen,” Ford threw the paper down in a swift motion. He looked at Arthur in an attempt to observe every little detail, every movement in response to the story.

Ford was interested in this new type of microwave that encourages healthy eating. It was a great invention. There was plenty more devices in which Ford was interested. His main interest had always been developments, this is why he took the role as a researcher for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and it’s a good thing he took that job. Although it left him stranded on Earth, it has given him a good half a millennium with his lover.

An average life expectancy for an Earthman is much less than a Betelgeusian being. Arthur Prefect-Dent has become an exception to this rule after surviving the Earth’s demolition. The idea of a life without Arthur had plagued Ford and so he decided to look into it. He had found a way to interlock their lives together, blessing them with the idea that they shall never be apart, even in the afterlife they shall be together. This would be unfortunate if their love was to break but Arthur and Ford were too strong.

“My dearest love, try this tea,” Arthur handed his husband a cup. Ford took a sip out of the cup and his face lit up with delight. Arthur had gotten it right this time. The tea was completely beautiful, much like the Earth tea that had bonded them in the first place but with more personality. It felt customised for its exact customer and warmed up the insides of Ford.

“Well done, Arth. You’ve done it right this time,” Ford had a genuine smile and finished the rest of his cup. With this, Arthur smiled back, waving his arms slightly with excitement, making himself a cup of tea.

“I think I’m going to start getting ready for our day,” Arthur spoke. Today they had a plan, they were going to see Zaphod. Zaphod has been off partying and now he wants to calm down and go for a meal with his semi-cousin and his semi-cousin’s Earthling. Arthur had a rough first impression with Zaphod but within 500 years, they have settled this with the occasional banter. This was all for Ford’s benefit. They had decided to go to Milliways once again, by choice this time. This time they would have a plan to go back to now and wouldn’t end up in prehistoric Earth. Arthur would get to dress up this time.

Arthur had mastered the act of fashion. He had ventured into his androgyny, questioning the idea of gender identity himself. This question had torn away his brain until he came to the resolution. What does it matter? He is a woman and a man. He had the perfect outfit planned for his day out, all down to the details of the makeup, hair and shoes. He would need time to ready himself. Time to look perfect. Arthur Prefect-Dent was a complete perfectionist.

He would never start getting ready if he didn’t now. He would just sit there, worrying about if he had enough time which then leaves him with not enough time. This is a very Arthur Prefect-Dent experience. His husband nodded his head and Arthur rushed upstairs. His dress was laid out on their bed, just as it was left. It was a delicate dress. Its fabric would cling to Arthur, the decorated stars were not itchy and uncomfortable like Earthman clothes. It has been manufactured correctly.

Its white colour perfectly complimented Arthur. He matched his dress with simple jewellery such as a moon bracelet that Ford had got him (an item he kept with him constantly), a few pairs of earrings, a complex-designed flower necklace that he was given by a stranger and a few rings to accompany his wedding ring. His wedding ring was a rather strange ornament as it had been laced with tea. This was still seen as strange in the wider universe (where you would believe there’d be more of an open minded view of life).

Another thing that Arthur Prefect-Dent had succeeded to do in his extended time was master the art of high heels. High heels could no longer destroy him and even as he had aged, he could still strut in them. He decided to wear tall high heels which wasn’t really going to help Ford, as Arthur was already quite the height. He hadn’t exactly shrunk. His heels glistened, they were the type of shoe that would stop the show. They also prevented the dress from trailing on the floor.

He completed his makeup. It was a treasure to be able to look at Arthur’s face if he had put in effort. Even without effort, his makeup was mystical. But with the motivation, he would definitely look marvellous. His hair was in a simple curl. His hair had grown and darkened in time so he had much hair to style. Arthur used to not care about his hair: he just brushed it and washed it when it was appropriate but now he had taken full care of himself.

He delicately made his way downstairs to see that Ford was already dressed. Ford was a simple man when it came to fashion, well as far as an alien could be simple. His suit was well fitted, contrasting with his tie. They were a perfect couple. They lace their shoes up and contact Zaphod.

“You setting off?” Ford asked Zaphod. Zaphod is expected to be late. He’s just that kind of lad.

“Oh, yeah sure. You and earth man, are you ready?”

“Of course we are ready,” Arthur spluttered out. And with this, they are prepared to go Milliways.

And they were there. They were at the restaurant at the end of the universe once again. This time they had no internalised homophobia and no hidden love. They were just Ford and Arthur- those two homosexuals you’ll meet sometime travelling around space. It was quite astonishing really. They were just average guys, many light years away from each other but they did get to meet and now the stars align with their love. Then he appears- their favourite third wheel, Zaphod Beelebrox.

“What’s up, Broskis?” Zaphod said, doing some strange action with his hands, flippety flopperting them around in the air. Zaphod is going through a phase as usual. His three hands all seem to collide with each other.

“Hello, Zaphod,” Arthur and Ford say in unison. This surprised both of them. They must have got very used to each other from all the time in their little spaceship home.

“Hello friends, may I take you to your table?” the waiter spoke. This was all a familiar experience for Arthur- less estranged but still odd. Of course, last time he wasn’t dressed in this marvellous couture and yet his dressing gown, although he pulled that off quite well too.

“This time you’re not going to argue with the meal of the day, are you?” Zaphod turned around to talk to Arthur. Arthur still found it bizarre that the meat wanted to be eaten but each to their own. He had gotten quite used to absurdity. He had become part of the absurdity in some cases. But not in this one, Arthur Prefect-Dent didn’t want to be the next meal.

“No, good on them if they want to be eaten,” Arthur spoke. They had been led to their table.

Zaphod was across the table from Ford and Arthur. They were still holding hands under the table like a newly founded couple. Their love was still in the honeymoon stage. The meal of day had already come over to greet them. This time it didn’t have to argue with Arthur in order to be eaten. It just took its orders and went off to be cooked. Conversation was detailed with Zaphod, explaining his various parties he had attended. He was very much an extrovert. He told them about all the men and women and people he had been out with.

“There was this lovely man. I can’t remember his name but he was quite the character,” Zaphod described, “Rather attractive and he could talk. He could talk right well, probably more than me.” This conversation continued over drinks and hours. Zaphod had found a woman and a man to come sit with. He was no longer third wheel and now on a double date. This always happened when Zaphod was to go out. He was quite the flirt. The food had arrived.

Arthur looked at his plate. It looked delicious. He remembered how they didn’t get this far last time. There was no longer any Marvin to interrupt their lunch. He took his first bite, cautious of destroying his makeup. Ford looked at his husband, cutting up his food. Arthur always held his cutlery the opposite way. He struggled to cut food up. Arthur had always struggled with his hands.

Zaphod was too distracted by his new friends to eat. This caused Ford to steal his food while he wasn’t paying attention. Ford enjoyed eating. He also enjoyed annoying the shit out of his semi-cousin. It was a talent of his all these years. Except Zaphod had become used to this, there was no closer semi-cousins than Ford and Zaphod. Zaphod had many semi-cousins but Ford was different, he was cool. They used to always cause mischief at a young age. They made the planet Betelgeuse V a bit more interesting.

They flirted with all sorts of people. They went out. They played all sorts of pranks. It was still obvious then that Ford would settle down with a nice boy but Zaphod probably wouldn’t. Zaphod couldn’t do commitment, not to one person forever. Polyamory was popular in the vicinity of Betelgeuse so it didn’t really matter. Zaphod had many open relationships and he felt fulfilled by this. Ford felt fulfilment when he met Arthur. There was always something there. It was hard for Ford to tell Arthur before Earth was demolished.

Arthur needed support when his home was destroyed. Ford became his home and after a while, Arthur admitted his homosexual tendencies and that his homosexual tendencies were especially triggered by his best friend Ford. This didn’t take long for the emotions to display and soon enough they were dating. Zaphod was happy for them, he even helped Ford propose. Even though Ford proposed, he took Arthur’s last name. Now he was Ford Prefect-Dent. They decided to double barrel their names.

“Are we all done?” Zaphod said, “Because I must go entertain these gorgeous people.” And with that, he stood up, not waiting for an answer. He took both his partners by their hands. He only had one hand spare. He left, leaving just Ford and Arthur. They took each other’s hands and Ford brought Arthur’s hand to his lips, kissing it gently. Arthur returned the kiss by holding Ford’s hand to his lips and pressing his lips against it. Lipstick marked Ford’s hand and they both stayed in that position for a second. They stood up, holding hands and strolled off.
