#WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW

[pumpkinspice-prouvaire]

sooooo I cannot believe I am saying this, but nine chapters and 61K words later, my silly lil Enjolras & Eponine friendship fic is finished!!!

This idea started off as borderline crack but I'm so proud of the end result, give it a read if you like platonic fake dating shenanigans, found family, and two very different people realising that maybe, they're not that different after all.

***

Summary:

Enjolras takes a deep breath, and says in a rush, “Would you come with me to Provence and pretend to be my girlfriend so I don’t have to deal with my incredibly homophobic family for a week and subsequently put my head through a wall?”

Éponine blinks. There’s no way she heard that right.

Or

When your best friend’s boyfriend asks you to accompany him to a wedding as his pretend girlfriend, what else can you say apart from yes?

Chapter: 9/9

Pairings: Platonic Éponine & Enjolras, Enjolras/Grantaire, Éponine/Cosette

The average experience of listening to Hozier:

I’m in emotional anguish and bliss from a couple of bridges bc of this madman’s wonderful vocal control, i cant-

#hozier #you can tell i’m listening to #unknown / nth #i’m having a religious experience #this man is so wonderful #what the fuck #don’t even think about good omens with this #or else i’m gonna cry #do you know i could break beneath the weight #of the goodness love i still carry for you #what do i do with my life now #that i’d walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you #that is sick #in the best way #unreal unearth #this is so gorgeous

Abbott 2.22 Reactions:

I can’t believe we’ve reached the finale. 😭 I’m not ready to be without Abbott for a while.

“I don’t know how to leave this conversation.” - Gregory Eddie repeating something I think to myself every single day.

“All thirteen essential vitamins.” Snsjdjsjsjsjs, I love him.

Night at the Museum!!!

“I take all of your recommendations seriously. I want to know why you like stuff.” If someone ever said this to me, I’d probably marry them right then and there.

Melissa’s baseball bat that she can’t sleep without. Actually, I’m going to go feral about that detail!!! Her hypervigilance. A way to defend herself always has to be within reach.

MEL FIXING THE BLANKET. CALLING BARB YOUTHFUL. WW DELULUS STAY WINNING.

ANSNDNDN, waiting for the bell. What does Barb have in her bag?!?

Maurice!! I love him. The way he delivers his lines is so funny.

Janine and the talking head about not wanting to be selfish. The break in her voice. It makes me think about the fact that she knows what it’s like to have grown up with a selfish person, and so she’s probably terrified to ever be selfish in her own life. She doesn’t distinguish between being a remorselessly selfish person and doing one selfish thing.

Janine shutting Gregory out instead of communicating. :(

Mel having beef with the tour guide ANAJSNSJSJDJ. GOD. I love you.

That jumpsuit that Ava is wearing is impeccable. My God.

AVA ALIEN TRUTHER. BARBARA SHIELDING THE KIDS WKWKDJSJSJ.

Watching all these kids play is so lovely.

“You seem completely unaffected by the cutest thing I’ve taught a child.” Lmfao.

Gregory wanting to stay in Philly for the summer because of Janine.

Barbara needing to be in a private room!!

Ava Night Shyamalan NQJDNDWKKWIWDJSJ.

“That’s the name she remembers?” AKQJQKWJSNSJ. HELP ME.

“It’s no wonder that your dad is a landscaper with the way that you beat around the bush.” I love Jacob being the biggest Teddie supporter. 😭 He’s also dropping some incredibly good relationship advice.

BRO HUG BETWEEN JACOB AND GREGORY. I’M EMO. THEY’VE COME SO FAR.

Ava looking out for Teddie too by pairing Janine and Gregory up. ;w;

“All the time. My grandma called me selfish this morning.” ANWKWKOQJDDJ.

I GET TO CROSS OFF A SWEET AVA-JANINE MOMENT OFF MY BINGO! YEAHHHHHHH!!

BARBARA AND HER ROBE AND SLIPPERS. I LOVE HER.

“GOODNIGHT.” JUST PASSING OUT BEHIND THE THING. Barbara Howard, I love you.

“Because I like you, Janine.” 😭

BARB AND HER C-PAP. HELP. I LOVE HER. OH, GOD, I LOVE THAT SHE HAS A C-PAP. I’M GOING TO WRITE FICS ABOUT THIS.

NOT MELISSA GETTING READY TO BEAT THE “ALIEN” WITH A BASEBALL BAT

“Melissa, I would never ask you to take Barbara out.” AKQKQKOQOQOEDJJSSJ. Ava’s out here really helping all the ships tonight.

Barbara having only been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, so she didn’t have the machine when Mel and Barb shared a room at PECSA.

“I’m obviously very particular about how I present myself, so I tried to hide it.” That’s it. That’s Barbara Howard in a nutshell.

Mel saying behind and making sure Barb is okay. 😭 Those are my work wives.

“You’re aging with dignity.” SOBBING. I LOVE THEM. This is this season’s “Like fine wine and Stanley Tucci” moment.

“I like you too. Like, a lot.” In the heart room no less.

Both of them admitting to having liked each other from the very beginning. So, so sweet.

“Multi-presidential-term relationship.” JAJWDJDNSN. Incredible line.

“It changed how I feel about me.”

“… and I cannot lose that friend.” This conversation is breaking my goddamn heart. It’s so real and unflinching, confronting the reality of what it means to love someone you work with day-in and day-out. It’s terrifying to possibly upend what already works well between you.

Another bro hug. 😭 I’m actually fucking tender.

That kid going “absolutely” to Barb ANSNDJFNS.

The tender, longing glances Teddie give to each other before going to sleep.

“Work for free?” / “Yeah, you’re really not from Philly, aren’t you, hon?” Never change, Melissa.

“I guess I’m not ready for him, but that’s okay. I’m okay,” she says in the emptiest, most desolate voice.

AVA BAREFOOT DJDJEJDJD.

What a precious and bittersweet finale. I love all these characters so, so much, and I’m going to miss them. 😭

Favorite Moment: That last conversation between Janine and Gregory in the heart room. It was so honest and painful.

Funniest Moment: LMAO, everyone freaking out at Barb with her CPAP machine.

Work Wives Watch: Mel lingering behind to check up on Barb and let her know that she’s aging with dignity. God. 😭

I am not good at video games. I did not think I could S rank every mission. But through the power of hyperfixation and stun needle cheese strats I have prevailed against Armored Core VI and have 100% the game.

I was hoping SO HARD for the whole Rooster Teeth is shutting down thing to be a lie. It isn't. I saw it coming, there wasn't a single person who didn't but I still feel so disappointed. After all Achievement Hunter basically raised me. After all the allegations that turned out to be true, all the people that weren't what I thought they were, and the few people that were. I'm gonna miss everything, even if it isn't what it was and it hasn't been for five years now. I shoul've expected it when Achievement Hunter became an archive channel, but I always have hope for the stupidest things, goddamnit. They were a huge part of my life and I don't know what to do right now WHAT DO I DO RIFHT NOW

I have VegasPete thoughts.

Okay, first off I want to say that while Vegas' ending in particular wasn't exactly as personally liberating as I hoped it would be concerning his father, I have to admit it WAS undeniably realistic.

I think we all wanted Vegas to stand up to his dad and secure his own freedom and discover his own self-worth. Obviously, that didn't happen. He still jumped at the chance to prove himself to his abuser - because victims don't just wake up one day and decide they're going to fight back. The pattern of abuse keeps them constantly seeking approval and validation, even and most especially when they know they deserve better.

So while Vegas didn't pull off the 180 he absolutely deserved when it came to his grotesque abuse, I have come to the conclusion we got something even better, and more importantly, something more realistic.

Let me explain.

During that beautiful scene beside the pool, I admit I was initially a little disappointed that Pete reverted to referring to himself as a "pet" in order to reach out to Vegas. It felt like regression to me, because Pete clearly hated being treated as a pet when Vegas was abusing him and holding him captive - he even said before he escaped that he felt stripped of his humanity. But that, I've decided, is the beauty of this moment. Because what progression we did NOT get with Vegas and his father, we finally got in that end scene with Vegas and Pete.

Vegas refuses to think of Pete as a pet any longer...and more importantly, he refuses to let PETE think of himself as a pet. HERE is the powerful and liberating moment we wanted for Vegas. We didn't get it in the way some of us wanted or expected, but in a way that, in my opinion, felt more believable and organic to the story. And because of that, I left this complicated couple feeling like they were heading to a healthier place...a place where the cycle of abuse was FINALLY about to be broken.

Maybe Vegas couldn't stand up to his own demons...but here he is, REFUSING to become one for Pete. And damn if that isn't beautiful!

On that note, I just have to say, I feel like I'm losing a piece of my heart as I say goodbye to this show. I would love a second season to explore the new dynamics of all of these deeply complex relationships...but I suppose that is now in the hands of the Thai drama Gods.

Here's to hoping! 🙏
