Title: In Close Quarters Ship: Joel Heyman/Reader Summary: Trying to do your best in a new job is hard, especially when a certain someone keeps distracting you. Warnings: None WC: 943 
Tumblr media
(AO3)
“Control and… Saved!” You muttered under your breath while minimizing the window of the video that you were editing, just to open up a new one to start working on another video. It was still your first week of working at Rooster Teeth, and while it was fun to work in the company of people who you had admired for who knows how long, it was definitely not all joking around like what most of their videos portray. Also, it meant that you worked in the same building as Joel, which was… interesting to say the least. You met him about a couple of months ago in a kind of speed dating thing that your friend had forced you into going to “keep her company” while you were visiting her, and he probably went just for the amusement. Or he was tricked by Burnie or someone into going. Thing is, because you had only moved to Austin the week prior to starting the job at Rooster Teeth, the two of you hadn’t really had any chances to meet up again.
*Bzzzt* *Bzzzt*
You looked down at your phone to see the screen lit up with Joel’s name. Speak of the devil, you think to yourself.  
Joel: Hi
You: Hi You know you’re literally sitting like 3 desks away from me, right?
Joel: I can see you
You: Like I said. 3 desks away Joel
Joel: You’re not just a presence in text form anymore I can see you texting
You: Yes, I actually exist in person Joel I can see you texting too
Glancing over to where he was sitting, you could see him smiling softly at his phone. You looked back at your phone. There didn’t seem to be another text incoming, so you put your phone down and continued to edit. It was about another hour of cutting videos and syncing up the audio before your phone buzzed again beside your mouse. There was a particularly tricky edit that you were attempting to do, however, so you proceeded to ignore it and carry on working. That is, until four more texts came in consecutively within the next five minutes.
Joel: Dinner? This evening Dinner? What do you think? Are you free?
“Joel I’m a bit busy right now,” you call out to the man. No one else was here so you felt like it was okay to shout a bit to reply instead of texting. “And I’ve read your texts so you don’t need to send more, okay?” You add when you look over to see him tapping away at the screen. Out of the corner of your eye you see him glance up at you briefly, then put his phone down.
Eyes back on your computer screen, your mind focused on editing, and as the hours went on you didn’t even notice the comings and goings of everyone around you. Being one of the new hires, you wanted to make a good impression, taking on probably more than what was required of you. With videos coming out pretty much every day of the week, it wasn’t hard to find people who needed help with editing and whatnot.
A cupcake was suddenly put down in front of your face. Blinking, you looked up from it to Joel who was standing next to you.
“I uh, I’m sorry if I annoyed you earlier. I thought you might like some food and take a break from work.” He shifted on his feet, running a hand through his hair.
“Oh Joel, you don’t need to apologise, I’m sorry, I’ve just had a lot to do today and one bit was just really frustrating me and –”
“You really shouldn’t take on so much work you know, you’ve only just started working here,” Joel cut in, taking in the multiple editing windows you had open on your screen. You suddenly realised that you had three separate videos open, all in the middle of being edited, and started to see what he was going on about.
“Well, that’s exactly why I need to work harder! I can’t exactly slack off in my first week.” You quickly saved everything that you had open. Better to be safe than sorry.
“Just…Don’t work too hard okay? I was just speaking to Burnie and Matt about you, and even they agree that you should slow down a bit and take it a bit easier.”
“Hold on, you were talking to Burnie and Matt about me? What were you talking about? Was it just general stuff? Oh god you haven’t said anything embarrassing about me have you?” You jumped up onto your feet, your eyes drilling into him.
“Oh, look at that thing over there that I need to do… Sorry, enjoy your cupcake!” He grinned and turned to head back to his own desk.
“Goddamnit Joel,” you called after him. “Fine! That new Italian place in town, 8 o’clock tonight? You can tell me everything then!”
You stared after him, watching as he sat down without answering you. He took his phone out of his pocket and started to tap away at it, and when he finished your phone buzzed on your desk. Grabbing it, you opened up the text that had just come through.
Joel: Sounds like it’s a date then
Sitting back down at your desk, you put your phone away, smiling to yourself.
“God you’re such a dork,” you murmured, reaching out to pick up the cupcake, and you hear a quiet laugh behind you, followed by a quick “and you love me for it”. You shook your head, smile growing wider. Definitely can’t argue with that.

Title: Nothing Much Has Changed Ship: Danvin (Dan Gruchy/Gavin Free) Summary: They were still Dan and Gavin, just with a hundred percent more kissing and nakedness. Warnings: None WC: 1,104
Tumblr media
( AO3 )
“Mum wants to know if you like sprouts,” Gavin declared suddenly, halfway through wiping destroyed grapefruit off of the table they’d been using for their latest Slow Mo Guys shoot. 
Dan stared at him for a moment before quirking an eyebrow. “Mate, how long have you known me now?” he asked incredulously. 
“Too long,” scoffed the other, earning a quick slap on the back of the head from Dan. “Oi!” Gavin squeaked, jumping away from his friend with an ungraceful flapping of his limbs, “That bloody well hurt!”
The former soldier couldn’t help but chuckle. It wasn’t because he’d hurt Gavin, it was because his boyfriend was being a bloody idiot again and they both knew it. Oh well, that was just one off the many reasons Dan loved him. Something had to make up for that nose after all.
“Your mum’s known me for years, she knows I like sprouts,” Dan laughed, shaking his head as he took over Gavin’s pathetic attempt to clear up.
Somehow he always ended up being the one to do most of the tidying up after their videos. Gavin usually conveniently found something else to do in order to get out of doing it. A couple of their mates had said Dan turned into a carpet around Gavin, always letting the younger Brit walking all over him, but he didn’t think that was the case. Gavin was just a lazy bum and he wasn’t. It was as simple as that.
“Yeah I know,” Gavin mumbled, suddenly reviewing the footage from the Phantom rather than helping Dan clear up, “She just wants everything to be perfect ‘cause it’s like the first time and everything, innit?” 
Dan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “She definitely wasn’t there for the first time, thank god.” The crude joke was worth it just for the shade of red Gavin turned when his brain finally caught up.
“You’re gross.”
“Yeah. But you still love me, right?”
Gavin let out a small squawk as he felt Dan’s powerful arms wrapping around his torso but he relaxed easily into them, feeling perfectly at home. A year ago and he would have done anything to get out of Dan’s grip, too afraid and awkward to admit to his own desires. They’d been best mates forever and the thought of taking that jump to something more had terrified him. What if it went wrong and they lost each other completely? The idea of not having Dan in his life anymore seemed like too much to risk but in the end not having more of Dan seemed even worse. It had taken some time but eventually he’d talked himself round to being honest about his feelings. It had just taken him a bit longer to be honest to everybody else. 
“Meh, I guess I could be convinced.” He did his best to sound uninterested but honestly Gavin knew his voice gave him away. He couldn’t help it around Dan, it was like his heart decided to take a vacation to live on his sleeve and wouldn’t go back away. He was an open book when it came to his boyfriend and maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing, it was just taking a while to get used to.
“Oh? How would I go about convincing you?” Judging by the hand creeping ever so slightly lower, Dan already had ideas on how to convince Gavin. He just laughed as the shorter boy wriggled out of his grasp, looking a little frazzled and still incredibly red in the face. “You’re adorable.”
Gavin did his best to keep his cool as he straightened down his lab coat and insisted in as level a voice as he could manage, “I know I am.” Having Dan tell him that he was adorable was still so bizarre to him. How was he so lucky as to have a guy like Dan in his life? “And shut up.”
The small chuckle Dan let out in response sent a shiver down Gavin’s spine and he had to look away, worried that his cheeks would flare up with another blush. He was going to end up looking like a tomato this rate and that wasn’t a good look on anyone. Unless you actually were a tomato, in which case you’d probably want to look like one or somebody might never pick you – okay, getting off topic here.
“Is she expecting me to wear a suit?” Dan asked suddenly, getting Gavin’s attention was simultaneously sending him into a pit of dirty thoughts about his boyfriend in a tuxedo. Oh god that was a dark path to go down. “Are you expecting me to wear a suit?”
It took all of Gavin’s courage not to turn into a mess right there. “Yeah, it’ll probably distract from that ugly mug of yours. Go for it,” he fired back teasingly, managing to duck under Dan’s swing at him with only minimal shrieking.
“You’re a dead man, Mr Free. A dead man.” *** Dinner went perfectly okay but that wasn’t really a surprise. This wasn’t the first time Dan had been at the Free house for dinner, it was just the first time he’d been there as Gavin’s boyfriend rather than his best friend. A part of him had been expecting it to feel different but it really didn’t. Like everything about his relationship with Gavin, it felt like they’d been doing this forever. In some respects, they really had. They were still Dan and Gavin, just with a hundred percent more kissing and nakedness. Obviously he didn’t declare that out loud at the dinner table but it was true. Not much had really changed at all.
At the end of the day they found themselves sat atop a hill not too far from the house. Gavin had moaned the whole walk there but now they had reached its peak and were watching the sun set in the distance, he had to admit that this was nice. Being curled in his boyfriend’s arm after a perfect evening – what more could he possibly ask for?
“Do you reckon we can film a spider eating a fly in slow motion?”
“Gav, do you always have to ruin the mood?”
“Yup. Part of my charm.”
Dan couldn’t help it. Gavin’s shit-eating grin always got to him, pulling at his heartstrings whenever he even attempted to fake being mad at the other. It was never going to work no matter how hard he tried.
“You’re so bloody lucky I love you.”
Gavin didn’t even need to respond. The gentle kiss on Dan’s lips said enough: love you too.

An extremely important PSA in regards to shipping, RT requests on the matter, and Millie Ramsey.
Quick Summary:
Okay With It:
Kyle, Caleb, All of AH (with rules, see below). Arryn, Miles, Caiti, Barbara, Matt, Jeremy, Kdin (see Edit 5), Lindsay, All of Funhaus (Edit 6), Mica (Edit 7), Tina, J.J., 
Not Okay with it so KEEP OUT OF FICS:
Any kids. Jordan Denecour. Burnie’s ex-wife. Ryan’s wife and kids. Millie.
Not only have I been seeing it a lot, but I’ve gotten a few… not complaints, but I’ve been informed of this issue as well - and I figure I’ll make a post to address it. Because yes, this is extremely important, and a lot of the newcomers don’t know.
Back when the fandom was new and baby, and it got the attention of those at Rooster Teeth, Geoff explicitly said do not include Millie in any way into fanfiction. The original post and blog indicating this for proof has been passworded, but I found in fuckyeahot6 a nice summary of the rules, which include it so please, look these over. Some older original rules can be seen in those two links, but recently we’ve acquired the permission from Kyle’s girlfriend that she is now alright with us shipping Kyle. I’ve gone through our chat video with Ryan Haywood and he spoke that anything is alright, because he won’t ever read it so “let the creativity flow”
Arryn and Miles are totally fine with the shipping!
Some other points of interest that I’ve collected are from a few others. Starting with Caiti, when she came into our chat, she told us that she, and Jack, are fine with it just make sure that no harm/noncon/abuse/cheating. You can view her answer here.
Caleb has mentioned time and time again, and he was the original one to bring forth Geoff’s request of Mille, that he is fine with the shipping; in fact he enjoys the ones where he dies. And in a TAB podcast at 1:01:55 ish Caleb also says he is alright with fanfics.
However, Caleb’s brother, Jordan, is not comfortable with shipping at all, so please do not include him in anyway , as is the same with all the children of Rooster Teeth that appear on the Game Kids Channel. Just don’t do it.
Kdin has also gotten an ask and replied to it that he is fine with it, seeing it as a creative outlet and so long as we know it’s fictional, he’s alright with it all.
Tina is okay with shipping, she just asks that we keep the fics morally sound.
While going through the tags I saw this post here indicating that the new hire Jeremy was more that honoured to be written in fanfics. 
Through our RT guest chats, we’ve tried to get their opinions to take a look through all that. Far as I can remember, they are all ok, with a few rules, JJ’s of no socks with sandals is the best.
And another issue that I’ve seen many, many, many, many, many times is that there are shipping things that are tagged with name tags For example, freewood smut tagged with #Ryan Haywood and #Gavin Free, or reader inserts tagged with the person they are with. There is a strict reason why we keep shipping things out or name tags - it brings the hate. While, for the most part, all Ragehappy fans are Rooster Teeth fans, not all Rooster Teeth fans are Ragehappies. They do not want to see anything RPF and when they do, things like hate infect the shipping tags.
I hope this clears up a few things. Please stop writing Millie in fics. Please stop posting fics with name tags.
This post will be updated as new information arises, and I will keep posting it weekly with our ask box open/closings.
Please reblog and share this with other shippers you know of. It is extremely important to spread this information.
If you have any, arguments or comments, send them towards my main account at thisandthensome.
Thank you.
Tats
EDIT 1:
We got an ask in regards to Kdin’s girlfriend saying no to shipping him, so we asked her and we got a positive confirmation that she is fine with it so long as it’s not explicit/gross. So no psycoteeth or the like.
And it should not have to be mentioned, but please keep Ryan’s kids out of it too. In fact, keep all the kids out of it unless they are an OC child.
EDIT 2:
In regards to Ryan Haywood, I’ve recently gone back through our chat with him, and he said that anything is okay in regards with him since won’t ever read it - it doesn’t bother him. He understands its a creative outlet.
EDIT 3:
Jeremy has said he is honoured to be in fanfics.
EDIT 4:
I was informed I had not put in Arryn’s and Miles’ responses to being shipped so here is Arryn’s and Miles’ is the same thing (We don’t have anything written, just from our chat with him).
In response to Game Kids Channel, under no circumstance are you to ship or even write about any of the kids. Jordan Denecour has been asked as well and he is not comfortable with it. While Caleb has said nothing sexual, I ask that we please keep him out of everything. Especially Incest. 
We finally got word from Tina that she’s fine with the shipping :D Just keep it morally sound alright?
EDIT 5:
Kdin does not want anything smut of him.
EDIT 6:
Funhaus has said they’re okay with shipping! In fact, its an honour! If anything individually comes up with them, we’ll let you know :D
EDIT 7:
Mica Burton gladly welcomes shipping with arm’s wide open and actually cannot wait to see what comes up!
EDIT 8:
Keep family out of shipping. This goes for children and wives and siblings. I’ve noticed, and a few others in the community, that there is a rise in ships with Ryan’s wife/mentions of his children, not to mention the blatant disregard for Geoff wanting to keep Millie out of fics. Yes, I’ve seen many fics still having her in them since this post started circulating. 
Keep. Family. Out
