I Don't Need to Live Forever (Just Not One Day Longer Than You) - Newsies Tuck Everlasting AU Ch 1 - 2

Read it on AO3

"I lived with the lie for ten years before I could finally bring myself to admit there was something deeply wrong with my husband. If I were a smarter man I would say I regretted it, I would say I want nothing more than to forget those ten years and pretend they never happened. I would destroy all remaining evidence of that old life and refuse to speak of it ever again. Unfortunately, I’ve always been a stupid, lovesick fool wherever Jack Larkin was involved."

~~*~~

Davey Jacobs is the happiest person alive. He has a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter, a loving family, and a great life in a small town in New Hampshire at the birth of the new century. The only problem is there's something deeply wrong with his husband's family. In the ten years since Davey met the Larkin family, they hadn't changed, they hadn't grown. None of them ever got sick or hurt.

Davey Jacobs is the happiest person alive, and he would never do anything to hurt Jack if he could help it. But when faced with the choice to protect his daughter or continue living a lie?

There was really only one choice.

~~*~~

"Prequel" of my Tuck Everlasting AU in which Jack is Miles and Davey is his husband.

Welcome to my contribution to the @newsiesminibang24! I'll be posting two chapters at a time, every couple of days. The whole fic is already written (other than like a chapter and a half) so it should be smooth sailing until we get to the end. My favorite chapters are by far the last four or five so I hope y'all enjoy!

Be sure to check out my incredible artist partner @gay-little-axolotl

One thing I've not seen yet in discussions of Kipperlilly's reasons for hating Riz is how much it parallels the feelings of people born into priviledged majorities about 'diversity hiring'.

The way she thinks that having a tragic backstory makes you a better adventurer, when all it really does is hurt you, is exactly the way I've seen white cishet people complain that being in a minority gets you priority for job offers/grants.

The idea that having pain in your past from discrimination or trauma is worth it because you get 'more opportunities' in the working world from being a POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled is a genuine belief that some priviledged people hold. And to me that really mirrors Copperbitch Kipperbottle's jealousy of Riz both having a dead father and ESPECIALLY coming from a poor background.

"her response was to be mad at us, and not to kill her parents?"

and the thing is, it's not a bad point

Truly one of the funniest parts of Deja Vu was Siobhan just continually bribing people

Also her and Ify’s rivalry this episode was one for the ages

Just finishing up Season 5 of my 9-1-1 watch through and I, personally, am SHOCKED that Lucy and Ravi being besties isn't more of a thing (both in the show and in fanon). Like, I know they've only had about two and a half scenes together but I can just tell they spend all their free time at the firehouse bitching about the main five. I need 10,000 hours worth of edits about them right now. I don't even want them to be romantic or anything, I just need these two pretty best friends to have more scenes together absolutely dragging the rest of the 118.

#and if i said i like them as besties because they're both extremely pretty then what? #that's my business move along #i know lucy leaves the 118 in some way because she ends up working with tommy and ravi is gone for most of season 6 #but i need their friendship to be a bigger thing in fanon i just know those two would be a riot if they got a storyline together #i also just really like lucy and ravi as characters and am begging for them to have relevance #i think they would be hen and chim levels of partners if they were able to stay on the same team for long enough #911 #911 abc #911 fox #911 season 5 #lucy donato #ravi panikkar #lucy donato & ravi panikkar

Pour one out for the timeline in which Brennan isn't available and they put Siobhan through Bingo and Time Loop on the same day

#I think she would have actually killed a man #and by a man i mean sam reich

I need Ostentatia Wallace’s take on the cleric class complete breakdown. You KNOW she would have thought on Bobby Dawn.

#the real reason the seven got time quangled out of the plot #is because otherwise izzy rowland the actual person would have spontaneously appeared on set #and had ostentatia murder bobby dawn with a glock #and then maybe punched her actual husband in the face #yes i am aware that she was likely pregnant or had recently given birth at the time of filming #but if anything i think that would make her stronger

But if Kipperlily had already stolen the spell components, Buddy already couldn't resurrect anyone. Why the murder? Just blatant disdain for her backup cleric? Did his grandfather set this up to make Buddy meet Helio that much sooner? If it was only to deny revivify, the pickpocketing would have been enough! It stopped Kristen, it would also stop Buddy.

Doylist perspective: Brennan is a great storyteller, and knows how to make things dramatic even when combat is going more smoothly than he planned. But I am so curious about the in-world narrative leading up to the murder.

#i think her goal was always to kill buddy #she just was also going to kill gavin but panicked when kristen saw her and decided to do half the plan and then ditch #and she took buddy’s revivify diamonds so kristen couldn’t use them to revive buddy or gavin #just speculation of course but that’s what i took from the episode

THE SACRED TEXTS!! ALL REIGN BIGUG

Starting 9-1-1 because of Buck and Tommy is so funny because a) Early Season 1 Buck is. A lot. and b) Tommy’s in all the flashback episodes and when they first said his name I was like “huh weird one of the old 118 guys has the same name as Tommy, weird that they didn’t pick a new name when they were introducing Buck’s- OH WAIT A SECOND” genuinely I didn’t realize that was Buck’s Tommy until the end of the Chimney episode you’d think with the number of clips I’ve seen over the past week I would have clocked it instantly but in my defense, all beefy white men look the same to me

#I’m so terrible with both names and faces this was never going to go well for me all these white boys look identical #also I do not forgive the internet for not telling me that show had canon lesbians in season 1 #you’re telling me I could have been obsessed with this the whole time??? #911 #911 abc #9-1-1 #evan buckley #tommy kinard #bucktommy
