abed/annie is my community otp, so I would love to hear your essay if you’re willing to share ♥️

girl it would be my pleasure

this is going to be an absolutely enormous word-vomit, please prepare-

I want to start off by saying I actually think Abed is genuinely a little bit crazy. Yes, he might be on the spectrum or have some disorder but the show is so loose with that it never really confirms it, so I’m not going to confirm it either, I just think there’s something-something-spectrum there but I’m not educated enough to understand exactly what they’re communicating he has or is dealing with. I think the safest thing to assume is indeed that he’s insane (he said it himself; he saw literal lava when Troy was leaving) but in a small, functional, unique way that doesn’t make him dangerous except when he wants to cut people’s arms off because “Evil Abed has taken over” hello someone do something about that –

Anyway. It’s super difficult for me to understand what goes on in his head episode-to-episode, but with Annie it’s actually easier? Abed has such a specific set of needs when it comes to relationships that it’s a miracle he found the study group at all. He’s so smart and creative and he’s actually very empathetic and sweet but he doesn’t always seem to know how to express things.

Annie is clearly Abed’s second-best friend in the show (it helps that the actor/actress are best friends too). When he can’t turn to Troy, he can always turn to Annie. She understands him and there’s never been a point where we see that start or end—it just naturally happened and they’re both used to it. Abed is always touching her, always sitting by her, always making eye contact with her, and if you pay close attention to even background scenes, he’s measuring her reactions to things more often than anyone else’s. If I had to guess, I think she’s the group member he understood faster than any of the others. Abed (this is, from what I’m told, part of being on the spectrum? but like I said I am uneducated and don’t want to definitively say something the show decided not to be clear about) needs certain things to be a certain way, or he can’t operate normally. He panics, or gets angry, or tries to mutilate Jeff Wingers. He genuinely thinks he is crazy, and he genuinely thinks no one he meets will be able to deal with him for an extended amount of time. (Let’s begin at the beginning from his POV.) Abed meets Annie (and the group), and she seems like the typical Molly Ringwald girl-next-door; pretty, smart, wants popularity, ambitious. That’s why he chose her when he created the study group. Annie is all of these cliched things, but hey, quickly it’s pretty clear Annie needs things to be a certain way. Annie needs structure and lists and good grades. So she gets it when Abed needs that, what a pleasant surprise! And part of that is that Annie empathizes with everyone around her, without even trying, so much so that she’s depicted often as the heart of the whole study group. She gets Abed, both because they’re the same in lots of ways and they’re the opposite. She can crush easily, explode easily, cry easily, laugh easily. Everything Abed has no idea how to emote. Annie is a volcano of emotions, and they’re triggered most when she’s feeling because of or on behalf of other people.

So here’s this girl near his own age who is orderly and structured, and knows how other people feel and can enter in with them emotionally, including Abed. She’s so nice, and tries so hard. She’s even good at playing pretend (Mixology Certification, party of one?). What a perfect leading lady for the life-movie Abed sees everywhere he goes (because that’s how he makes sense of the world). Annie is the ideal female star he’d want in any story: the girl full of passion and drive.

But then there’s Jeff—the study group’s Judd Nelson—presumably the perfect leading man. When Abed first handpicks the group in the pilot and first season, Jeff wants Britta. Hey, that makes sense, Britta seems to be the leading lady type, actually! She’s nice, she’s strong, she’s beautiful. Works perfectly. And look, Annie wants Troy—the brainy bubbly girl wants the dumb jock, that makes sense too. Everything works. Then things start changing within the dynamic. Troy is actually not that dumb, and not that sports-obsessed—he’s fun, and he’s the ideal bro for Abed, but he doesn’t work with Annie. Britta is not that nice, and not that strong—she’s bad at everything, and she doesn’t understand people, she just wants to and is constantly trying to portray (and then hopefully become) the kind of person that does. And Jeff is a stunted jerk who needs reformation.

Oh, Annie is Abed’s friend now too. She said it herself, and that’s rare in Abed’s life. She called them really good friends, and that’s so important to him that he’ll sit in a room for 26 straight hours with nothing to do because Annie asked him to do it. Troy is not the only character Abed would give up control for. There’s one other from the start, because the moment she told him with all her earnest doe-eyedness they were friends, she had him hook line and sinker.

Season 1 progresses. Jeff and Britta might still work, and Abed seems mildly interested in that if only for the cliches—maybe Britta can make him better. No, wait, Britta is bad at that too. Actually, they’re not good for each other. Actually, they’re bad for each other—they’re bad for everyone. But they have similar terrible flaws and habits, so maybe they do make a good pair. Still fine leads. Still works. And besides, Annie has filled in the place of Troy with hippie Vaughn, which is also fine. Doesn’t really work long-term, but Jeff and Britta drive the plot forward more anyway, so the focus should be on them, right? The group is working. The group is thriving. The TV of life moves along.

(Except Jeff kissed Annie to win the Man Is Good/Evil debate. And Abed predicted it. Which means he was thinking about that as a possibility, because he operates on variables and tries to understand outcomes so that he’s not surprised by anything and can keep his friends for longer by relating to and reacting to them better. Jeff has leading man vibes, Annie has leading lady vibes, that’s one potential outcome. And though he insists he’s just making hypotheses based on what he’s learned about his friends so far, when it does happen right in front of them in real life, they kiss, Abed is just as shocked as the others—he literally can’t take his eyes off them until the debate is won. Then afterward, he tells Shirley he can’t predict the future and uses his plans for Pierce being discovered as a genius next in his home-movies as an example, which he believes would never happen—then Britta calls Pierce a genius right in front of him and Abed looks visibly concerned. Maybe what he predicts about his friends will keep happening, even the things he thinks are the least likely of the potential outcomes. Maybe even Jeff and Annie as the two leads. But that doesn’t make sense, does it? Jeff and Britta are endgame, aren’t they? Annie is too young for a leading man like Jeff. Annie is too nice; Jeff is too selfish. Annie is gorgeous and driven, Jeff is handsome and needs fixing, that would work, no, it would change things too much, it’s too unlikely, back to Jeff and Britta, back to playing with Troy and studying film, don’t give it a second thought—)

Transfer dance happens. Annie is going away for the summer with Vaughn. Classic Annie, has his back, always doing the better thing for the plot, bringing a good end-of-Season twist, but it’s okay, as far as he knows she’ll be back in the fall and besides, Abed’s got to-roomie-or-not-roomie with Troy issues to deal with.

And then the new semester starts after the transfer dance. And Anthropology 101 happens (again, one of my favorite episodes for the group fight at the end when it comes to my lil ships). I’M GONNA TALK ABOUT ANTHROPOLOGY 101 NOW. For A CHUNK of time. Jeff and Britta are doing relationship-drama stuff Abed doesn’t quite care about, until Shirley suggests he’s being selfish and that a real friend would enter into Jeff and Britta’s [incredibly fake and nasty] “happiness” and Abed thinks that could work. Actually, progressing Jeff and Britta’s relationship is a goal he can definitely work with. In fact, if you pay attention to the show, whenever there is an opportunity to advance or out Jeff/Britta, Abed takes that opportunity. And whenever there is an opportunity to put JeffAnnie in an uncomfortable or inevitable, c’est la vie light (which two independence-heavy freaks like Jeff and Annie would consider negatively) he takes that too.

Abed urges Jeff/Britta to get married right there in the library before the fight, gives them the ring, because he thinks that’s the next logical step in their grossness. Special episode, all about Jeff/Britta, endgame endgame endgame! He can work with that. In fact, he’s happy to control that. He leaves the room to inexplicably get an Irish singer, dead-ringer Clooney, and a transportable wedding set.

When he comes back and tries to prep the group for the special wedding episode, everyone is tense and Jeff is bleeding from the nose, and Abed does not notice; he’s intent on advancing the plot and the endgame. Then Troy says, “Abed. Jeff made out with Annie.” And Abed’s immediate reaction is “What? Where? When?” And he looks unhappy, like the rest of them. Jeff made out with Annie, and that means everything Abed thought he understood is incorrect. (And I think it bothers the crap out of him and he doesn’t have the ability to unpack why that is the way most people do because he’s different. Surely he’s just angry for the same reasons the rest of the group is? That must be it. That must be why he’s angry specifically with Jeff, not Britta in any tangible way, or even Annie in a tangible way—until later, which I’ll talk about eventually.) Annie tells him they kissed after the transfer dance in a guilty voice, which is a sheepishness she does not respond with to any of the other members of the group. It’s almost like she’s picking up on Abed’s emotion specifically this time. And while everyone else in the group explodes, and Jeff reduces his kiss with Annie to something he should be ashamed of (accurate) because men are monsters who crave young flesh and Annie looks absolutely crushed like a deer in the headlights, Abed starts packing up to leave. And we only see how angry he is right then—he doesn’t enter into anyone else’s problems. We see him react to “Jeff made out with Annie”, and then this is the next time we see him react. Jeff asks where he’s going and Abed throws out a quippy “I now pronounce you cancelled” with a bounce of his eyebrows in an angry way, at Jeff, and when he tries to leave Jeff hurls insults at his back and Abed stops in the doorway, in a normal-person—again, angry—way and turns around and drops one of the sickest burns of the whole show, that TV makes sense and has “likeable leading men”, and says “In life, we have this. We have you.” And walks out. His anger is not directed at anybody else. He doesn’t help Troy with the Pierce situation. He doesn’t try to fix any of it. It’s like he heard “Jeff made out with Annie”, learned the specifics, and was standing there reeling until eventually he decided he couldn’t deal and went to leave, and wouldn’t have shown just how angry he was with Jeff unless Jeff had provoked him, which he did.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE’S MAD JEFF KISSED ANNIE, JUSSAYIN’-

let me pretend I’m a 14-year-old shippy fangirl in my reasoning, okay-

Abed likes logic, and as Season 2 continues, Jeff/Annie gets more and more logical. In fact, even though he has noticed that Jeff and Britta are secretly hooking up in the background of the Season, he is not surprised in Paradigms of Human Memory when Annie calls Jeff out for the will-they-won’t-they he’s been enacting with her, and even says there is something between the two of them, matter-of-factly, which Jeff refuses to own up to. But Abed and Annie are getting closer and closer, too. It’s subtle, but it’s clear they’re 100% comfortable around each other. That becomes super clear by Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas, when, besides Troy, Annie is the only other character to enter into Abed’s way of thinking and play with him, because it’s genuinely important to him and she recognizes that this is what he needs, when everyone else kind of drops off. She helps Abed and Troy stop Duncan from dealing with Abed in a practical, normal way, because she sees that Abed is dealing with something and can only deal with it his way to get through it. That’s incredibly rare for Abed, we see. He’s very attached to her—like I said, often touching her, often sitting by her, often reacting to her.

(I mean hi, in English As A Second Language, Abed thinks he won’t be affected by Annie’s Disney Face; when everyone else obeys Jeff in closing their eyes to it, Abed doesn’t. “Oh don’t worry about me, I can only connect to people through...movies...” literally stops in his tracks when he sees her Disney Face with the cutest wistful twitch of a smile. Jeff has to Indiana-Jones-reference him to make him look away. He doesn’t only connect to people through movies—at least, Annie can get through to him without the need of movies; he’s not a quirky lil robot, he can have normal feelings, but boy does it seem like Annie is the one bringing them out of him more often than most. she gets under his skin ajhzsdkejdb-)

Abed definitely has a crush on Annie. But he doesn’t know how to deal with that or portray it. To his mind, Annie should be with a leading man. Any time he flirts with her, he is pretending to be a leading man from a movie or show. (For a Few Paintballs More, anyone?) Because that’s who she should be paired off with. And that’s what she wants, right? She loooves Jeff Winger now. Britta’s not the leading lady, she never was, that role was always Annie’s, and it makes sense she wants Jeff, and it makes even more sense that Abed is observing the love story, not part of it. Abed is not the leading man, he’s the computer. He watches, analyzes, does not get involved or get the girl.

But he still wants her around, and he can have that much—in fact, when he moves in with Troy and Annie tells him she loves their place, Abed instantly suggests she move in. Not Abed and Troy. Just Abed, and he does not discuss it with his roommate. And Troy seems confused and surprised and gives Abed such an interesting look right after. Annie moves in, Abed agrees to sacrifice some of his routine for her (blanket fort for he and Troy, full bedroom for Annie), things are happy. Things are fine. She puts away his buttered noodles when he’s not finished with them, but she adapts to his needs when he expresses he doesn’t want her to do that; she breaks his Batman DVD but he adapts by forgiving her in a role he can express that in—Batman himself, plus, bonus, he gets to flirt with her as that leading man—and things are better. But then Annie starts trying to control things. Annie starts trying to make life go according to the movie in her head. She tries to get Britta and Troy together, which not only robs Abed of his best friend for a day and disrupts his routine, it makes him angry with Annie. And not just because she tampered with the group’s dynamic, which he doesn’t want anyone else but him to do. okay we’re caught up NOW I get to talk about Virtual Systems Analysis, which is my FAVORITE COMMUNITY EPISODE-

Throughout that episode, Annie is trying to speak in Abed’s language in the Dreamatorium in order to teach him empathy. In the past, she’s had success in communicating with him on his level, but this seems extra hard for some reason. She sees somehow through his expressionless face right away and sees he is angry with her, and though he tries to deflect by saying she’s going to ruin the group by meddling, she eventually does recognize what the problem is. At first she’s convinced Abed just wants Abed’s way and that he needs to be taught how to think of others first (she’s right), but he hears her say that to Troy and it spirals him right into the worry he always has—that he’s crazy, that he’s a problem, that he’ll never fit in because of that, and that when Annie (and anyone else) tries to deal with or fix him, they will get sick of it, give up, and toss him aside. He was already angry with her for a different reason, not just wanting his way again—but now he’s sure she’s done with Abed, too. So he becomes someone else, everyone else, to make his point: that she’s just messing with Britta and Troy so that nothing will stand in the way of her and Jeff.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS WHEN HE IS PRETENDING TO BE JEFF TO HER? He says, “With Abed gone, and Troy and Britta together, there’s nothing standing in the way of us.” With Abed gone. Why did he say that? Because with Abed gone, Annie gets to be in control of everyone? Obviously not. Or is it because out of everyone, every variable, the only other match that makes sense for Britta is Troy and the only other match that makes sense for Annie is-

Oops, Freudian slip. Oh, she’s not falling for it. And Abed is mad at her because he thinks she set up Britta and Troy so she could be with Jeff. Abed is mad that that’s what she wants. And when she tries to argue it’s not, he literally pretends he is her, logicking it out at her, trying to convince her that that is what she wants, because that’s what he thinks she wants, and her controlling things to cause JeffAnnie makes him mad. But c’est la vie, it’s inevitable anyway, right? Why isn’t she seeing that? Why is she trying to talk about him, he doesn’t want to talk about him, especially not after what she said about him— Then she fights back and tells him that she does not love Jeff, she loves the idea of being loved and if she can teach a guy like Jeff to love her, she’ll never be alone. And then she finds out that’s what Abed is afraid of, too. No—that’s what Abed is used to. “I’ve run the simulations, Annie. I don’t get married. [Why is that the first thing he said?] I don’t etc. etc.”

He’s afraid he’ll be alone, and people will always be getting tired of him and throwing him away. Didn’t Annie get tired of him? But she doesn’t, she’s not—in fact, she understands him. She shows him other members of the group understand that feeling, too. She uses his language to explain to him that he’s wrong, and that neither of them should be trying to make life go according to a script in their heads. Abed sees that she does understand, and if she can get into his head and understand him, she really can do it with anyone, and if she can do it, maybe he can too. Annie helps him and makes him a better person, because she reminds him to empathize, which is something Abed didn’t think he could do. Okay I just spent a long time talking about Abed’s perspective. A tiny bit of Annie now, because this is going on too long. As for Annie, she is afraid of being alone and unloved. She’s “psycho”, she’s crazy too, because someone who empathizes that much and can exude that much emotion does seem crazy to other people. She’s a different crazy than Abed, but her brand of psycho lends itself well to getting and communicating with him, because his crazy is escapism and her crazy is confrontation. His crazy is emotionless, her crazy is emotional. His crazy is control, her crazy is compassion. Her parents cut her off, her high school shunned her, Troy never noticed her, of course she’s scared of being ditched. Of being unimportant. Annie’s need to be perfect comes from the need to feel valued. And doesn’t Abed understand the need to not feel left alone? Doesn’t he understand everything needing to be just so, doesn’t he understand wanting to feel important but never expecting it? Just the computer. Just the observer. Wait. Didn’t he invite her to live with him, voluntarily? Doesn’t he always seem to be choosing her to sit by, don’t they always seem to be reassuring one another with a look or a touch? He gets how she feels about Jeff and Britta and their monopolization (hi Basic Sandwich), he gets when she’s feeling insecure, he gets when she needs to escape, just for a second, to pretend to be someone else in any given scenario so that she can take a risk or get out of her comfort zone, and he excels at that so they often do it together. They don’t have to be alone, they have each other. Annie doesn’t have to be perfect, Abed doesn’t have to be normal, and neither of them have to be in control. But nobody listens to me and instead we have Jeff kissing Annie and Brie Larson in a sweater. And don’t get me started on VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing and why Abed and Annie are individually trying so hard to fight each other’s third-roommate preferences-

omg i would love some fic recs for jeff and his IssuesTM

since they're all about jeff winger and his issues there are different potential triggers written in - so be sure you're taking care of yourself by checking tags and avoiding anything that would be harmful.

also, many of these are in multiple parts that extend the stories- so i would recommend double-checking when you read in case there's more you're missing out on lol

these all range over different ships/no ships at all (there is no jeff/annie though bc i personally don't ship it or read it)

-----------------------

okay here we go:

we'll start off with two of my absolute favorite jeff winger has issues series- Jeff Winger Is Bipolar and Therapy by @1mechanicalalligator. very, very highly recommend. the author is also my favorite community fic writer, so a lot of these on this list will be their works because they're genuinely so good.

Topics in Romance and Recovery- this is another incredible series by onemechanicalalligator - it is Abed focused, but part 7 is about Jeff and makes sense on its own if you were looking for just jeff-focused stuff

Introduction to Breaking Down Walls - jeff and his eating disorder!

Of Recklessness and Water. - short but so good. is about jeff opening up to abed about his ed

Corpus Delicti - jeff has major trauma from his lawyer career

I Can't Do This All On My Own- i love this series SO MUCH. it's literally so good. focused around jeff's ed struggles. it's by another one of my top fav community fic writers, anemicaxolotl

Batman Saves Rachel Dawes - this is a cute abed being a good friend to jeff and helping him talk out his depression. it's short but good.

Psychology of Getting Hurt - this is in a series that's pretty good. the next link below is part 4 of it and it's one of my favorites ever

Introduction to Coping Mechanisms and Supporting Friends - fairly long fic, focuses around jeff's alcoholism.

Image - the first part of this series is about jeff's self-image issues and part 2 focuses on dean pelton's near-constant sexual harassment of jeff and jeff growing to realize he deserves better. it's not anti-dean pelton or anything so don't worry about that. very well-written, def recommend.

Introduction to New Beginnings - these revolve around jeff's trauma and him in quarantine. i like the first two works in the series. have not read the last one yet.

Studies In Integrated Dysfunction Theory- this is a series: they're both pretty short but the first part is one of my fav shorter fics.

Basic Modern Asexuality - jeff struggles with coming to terms with being asexual- various mentions of his issues and stuff

Trespassing and Shower Studies - abed's psychoanalysis of jeff. short and beautiful.

Cooperative Independent Studies- a series. so good, so so good.

Use Somebody- introspect into depressed jeff

Principles of Holding On And Letting Go (In Theory and Practice)- alcoholism/withdrawal/etc

Interdimensional Lizards- jeff's issues with alcohol and jabed one bed trope

Round-Table Therapy Sessions - panic attacks, ed, functioning alcoholism, etc

Parallel Anxiety 101 - anxiety, body issues, jeff opening up in therapy, etc. i've reread this one a lot. i'm pretty sure i've put a few of jabedalien's (@jabedalien) fics in here already so far, they're another one of my absolute favorite community writers.

Independent Study: Dalliance and Despondency- occurs post-series finale. jeff loses himself.

Seminar on Inherited Dysfunction- a better ending to basic rv repair and palmistry. daddy issues and alcoholism

Advanced Friendship- post 5x11 (when jeff's in the hospital after his suicide attempt)

Advanced Psychology Analysis- psychoanalysis of jeff and abed and the way they relate to each other (from jeff's pov)

Cuts At The Skin and It's Sinking In (how deep it goes)- jeff goes to AA, alcoholism, withdrawal

Intersections of Grief and Guilt- jeff deals with childhood trauma, grief, etc

Advanced Despair- alcoholism, short

Botched Ventures and Adverse Alimentary Comportment - takes place after 5x11, heavy themes of suicide and eds.

Intro to Neurodiversity- idk how to explain this one but it's a lot. it's jabed and cute and also dark and heavy.

Try Explaining a Life Bundled With Episodes of This- deals with sh, touches on alcoholism

A Catalog of Non-Definitive Acts - the plot twist in this one takes me out every single time

The Jeff and Abed Pilot - involves talk about suicide/mental health. is post-series finale and is about them going on a road trip together- i always yearn for more roadtrip jeff and abed content after i read this one tbh.

-----------------------

hope this helped some of you find some enjoyable fics! i'm sure there are more jeff winger has issues fics written about jeff's mental health (mostly based off canon), but these are ones i've read and enjoyed. they're all good quality - wouldn't recommend if they weren't lol :)

these are all from ao3, i haven't really explored any other fanfiction sites besides ao3 and wattpad but the latter doesn't have anything on this topic as far as i know. if anyone has any recommendations that aren't on this list let me know!! i'm always looking for more to read :)

and finally, once again, these are all varying levels of deep/dark topics that deal with a range of mental health topics. please check the tags on the fics themselves before reading to make sure it wouldn't do you more harm than good to read :)

#jeff winger #jeff winger has issues #william winger #abed nadir #britta perry #troy barnes #shirley bennett #annie edison #nbc community #community #six seasons and a movie #community tv #community (tv)#ao3 #read on ao3 #ao3 link #ao3 writer #community ao3 #this took me all day to compile but it was worth it #like seriously i went and skimmed over every fic i had saved/could find and added the ones i recommend in here #jeff winger is canonically mentally ill and they did a horrible job of portraying it #and i'm so glad that so many people realize it #more people should write jeff winger has issues fics tbh #i do have a few in the works but i'm super shy about posting them lol #if anyone wants to be a sort-of peer reviewer (i don't know the technical term for it) i might be willing to send but we'll see #anyway #jeff winger is the loml #jeff winger fics

a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

Hmm, most of my fics right now are from Lucy and/or Lockwood's POV (predominantly Lucy). Oh, I'm writing a bit from George's POV, though, that's been fun to explore! Others from active WIPs include Donald Lockwood and Marissa Fittes. If you include backburner WIPs, then also Jeff Winger and Olivia Dunham, two great messes I adore very much.

You should try The Bear if you also like

Characters who were previously living their dream/at the top of their field in their careers and then something happened and now they are so far from where they were that they can barely see a pathway to return to that former life (Bojack Horseman in Bojack Horseman, Rebecca in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Jeff Winger and Annie Edison and Troy Barnes and Shirley Bennett in Community)

Fictional shows that are about food and drama and often death (this version of Macbeth where Macbeth [played by James McAvoy] is a chef and the kingdom is a restaurant, Hannibal*, Bob's Burgers**, Pushing Daisies**, Rocky Horror Picture Show**)

Shows were all the gifsets look the same until you read the text at the bottom of the gifs. The shows are set almost entirely in the workplace and there's p strong workplace attire guidelines (Succession, Severance, The Sopranos, Monk)

*I haven't seen Hannibal but I can't imagine the food was not a part of the appeal. I know it's mostly about Will and Hannibal but some of the audience's enjoyment has to be because the food is so beautiful in the show. I know they hire food stylists or whatever the official title is for people who make food commercials/tv shows so effort was put into making the food look delicious to the audience

**I know these are comedies to us, the audience, but they're dramas from the POV of the characters

for the soft summer prompts, 13 with Jeff and Britta!!

Britta is all sharp wit, sharp tongue, sharp attitude, but there’s something that calls out at Jeff like a beacon home.

Watching the sun rise/set

Jeff knows Britta.

He thinks he knows her better than most people do. (He thinks she knows him better than most people do, too, but he’ll never admit it).

He’s seen every version of Britta that exists: the bright-eyed student who just wants to do well, the rebel with wild energy and nowhere to direct it, the disappointing daughter that just wants to make someone proud; the Britta that smiles sleepily and openly, the Britta that crosses her arms with sharp looks of disapproval, the Britta that tilts her head just a little when she sees something she wants.

He knows the stupid little facts about her that don’t matter.

He knows that when she was thirteen, her oldest brother told her not to climb the tree in the backyard and she snuck away, climbed it, and broke her arm. He knows that when she moved to New York she lived in the back of her car for two months until she met up with a girl on Craigslist who was trying to steal her kidneys. (Or maybe she wasn’t, but she definitely stole the small George Forman grill Britta found at a garage sale). He knows that she tried to give up coffee and drink tea, because she saw a documentary on how rainforests are being chopped down to harvest the bean, but it doesn’t help her focus like coffee does and she hates herself a little for that. (He knows that if he buys her coffee then it helps alleviate that guilt a little; so really, remembering how she takes her coffee is helping her and has nothing to do with the smile she gives him when he sets it down in front of her or the way his chest gets tight at the sight of it).

He knows the stupid little facts about her that do matter.

When she was eleven her parents had her drug tested because of the way she experienced happiness, so she learnt to swallow her laughter. When she was in high school she watched a documentary about food farms and decided she’d never eat meat again. (Her parents didn’t support her decision and for two years she existed on peanut butter sandwiches and various vegetables until she could afford to buy her own food).

Jeff knows Britta has two married parents, two older brothers, and a group of self-proclaimed vigilante friends, but she’s always been alone. He knows she hates this.

He knows when she lived in New York she started running because she was afraid to walk home alone at night. He knows that habit followed her across the country to California, down to New Mexico, over to Michigan, and back to Colorado. He knows she hates the fact that she’s ever scared.

Britta is all sharp wit, sharp tongue, sharp attitude, but there’s something that calls out at Jeff like a beacon home.

And so it’s no one’s business if he buys her coffee every Monday and Wednesday and the morning of exams, if he goes out of his way to make snarky comments and facial expressions to make her snort in amusement, if he buys her an expensive, funny looking tofu dish when he goes off campus to get lunch.

If, sometimes, he hangs out at The Vatican until the bar closes so he can walk Britta to her car, it’s absolutely no one’s business.

----

“Last call,” Britta says, wiping the counter down with a rag like she’s in a movie. Abed would appreciate the moment and not for the first time, Jeff wishes he were here. Jeff grabs his glass and quickly downs the remains of his drink and she takes it from him with a smile. “Don’t gotta go home, but you can’t stay here.”

They’re the only two at the bar, a few stragglers are making out in the booths and Jeff spins in his seat, watching Britta move across the room and tap on the table, shooing them out. The door clicks shut once they exit and Jeff stands, blinking past the way the room tilts, and moves to lock the door. It’s become such a regular occurrence, Britta doesn’t even acknowledge it anymore. He tidies up the floor lazily; straightening chairs and centering the candles on the table until Britta’s finished with her closing chores.

“You didn’t have to do that,” she says once she’s emerged from the back, like usual, a beaming smile overtaking her face. Jeff blames the scotch for the warmth that fills his belly at the sight.

“Yeah, well, I didn’t do much.” He looks away and can feel the weight of her gaze on him. He wishes there were more people here, wishes the music was still playing over the speakers, wishes he couldn’t hear his own heart racing in his chest, wishes he’d drank a little more or a little less because the buzz he’s feeling right now is encouraging him to do something dangerous and he’s finding less and less reason not to give in.

Britta moves first and Jeff’s heart leaps in his throat, but she just moves past him, her hand grazing his arm and he unfreezes, moving beside her and resting his hand on her lower back as they move through the door. The heat swallows them as the door shuts with a click and Jeff lets his hand fall; if it were colder he’d have a myriad of excuses to grab her, tuck her against his side and walk with her pressed against him, but the heat is stifling enough as it is and he can’t think of any excuse to put his arm around her shoulders.

Their cars are parked together in the back of the lot and Jeff glances around the empty lot, checking for anything unusual. His eyes are drawn to the top of Britta’s head and he wants to be close enough to lean down and kiss the mess of hair there.

“Y’know,” Britta says abruptly when they get to their cars. She presses her hands against Jeff’s chest and his breath catches.

“I don’t want to go home,” he interrupts and her head tilts just barely to the side.

“Me either.”

----

They end up laying on the hood of her car, watching the night sky. The metal’s warm and the breeze is warm, but Jeff still extends his arm for Britta to rest her head on. He knows they’ll be sore; his back will ache and he’ll probably have a headache until he catches up on the sleep he misses, but that doesn’t really matter right now, not when he can’t stop looking at the way the moon lights up Britta’s profile. The small curve of her nose, the sharp angles of her cheekbones and jawline. He wants to lean down and press his lips at her jaw, but that would involve shifting and moving her off his arm and it feels wrong to move from her side.

They spend a long time in silence, watching the stars move across the sky and occasionally jumping, then laughing, when a bug startles them.

Britta’s quiet and still, her breathing is steady enough that Jeff wonders if she’s fallen asleep and his own eyes feel heavy in the warm summer air. It feels right, having Britta stretched out at his side and if he shifted, just a little, he could run his fingers through her hair.

The sky slowly goes from black to dark blue to grey.

“Would you ever go to space?” Britta asks eventually, jolting Jeff in surprise. Her voice is deep and rough with sleep and Jeff wants to say yes, wants to be the kind of guy that would accept the thrills and dangers of space travel without hesitation.

“I’ve never even left Colorado.” The admission escapes him without thought and he feels Britta look at him, her hair making the crook of his arm itchy.

“Never?”

He wants to lie and say he was joking, say gosh Britta you’ll believe anything. Instead, “never,” slips out. “My mom couldn’t afford to take us on vacation and then I never had enough money of my own until I was at the law firm and well,” old Jeff would have said now I’m stuck here; Jeff finishes, “why would I want to leave.”

Britta shifts to lay on her side and Jeff can see the discomfort pull at her face before it softens again when she looks up at him.

“We could go somewhere.” The words come out a whisper, like if she said them soft enough she might be able to take them back.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. Maybe the east coast, drive across the country.”

Jeff thinks of how uncomfortable driving across the country would be; thinks of the gross rest-area bathrooms, of the mediocre fast food, and of the lumpy roadside motel beds. Then he thinks of being able to see Britta relaxed with her feet on the dash, with the wind blowing through her hair as they drive down the highway, waking up with the worst bedhead possible, laughing over a wilted salad.

“Okay.”

The sky erupts in golden pink streaks of light. It stretches across them, bathing her in gold and he can’t stop himself from leaning down to kiss her, long and slow and he can feel her smile against his lips. When he pulls back, an answering smile on his face, he feels golden inside.

“But we’re taking my car,” he says and she rolls her eyes with a huff of laughter, curling into his side and resting her head on his chest. He folds his arm to hold her closer to him. “I’m serious. If we take your car we’ll end up broken on the side of the road before we leave the city.”

“Shut up,” she says nudging him. He shrugs in defense and she smiles into his chest.

“Fine, we’ll take your car.”

The sky turns from pink to blue.

Writing chapter 8 for You Knew What It Was and damn...this is painful to write. Like, Jeff is an absolute asshole and I hope I can redeem him in some small way after this cause...this one hurts. I mean, jesus, this could easily be canon and I’m just hurting for his mom and how he’s treated her. Legitimately near tears for a character whose name we don’t even know, who hardly gets any mention in canon.

#community #jeff winger #jeff winger's mom #may tillman #cause fuck if she kept that asshole's name #also i know i run the risk of all of you hating her #she goes off on jeff fairly quickly and if i don't get her pov across you may think she's the bad guy #which i love jeff but he sooo fucked up here #i dont think he ever told her about being disbarred #or faking his degree

so I'm rewatching Community and it just became clear to me that Britta has spent most of this season stoned.

also Abed likes Pandas.

I'm learning a lot, but that makes sense because I started my rewatch immediately after finishing it the first time and I'm very invested.

so far as I can tell, Community takes place in a world that follows similar rules to the "Changing Channels" episode of Supernatural, where Gabriel forces SamnDean to live through several instances of television tropes and universes until they " learn their lesson" and get free. Jeff Winger is the protagonist, but Abed is the POV character. Abed is literally aware of the fourth wall and treats it like An All Seeing Eldritch Entity. he both worships and fears it. (I have this awful tragic headcanon that he views Troy leaving as a form of punishment for making the show too gay, ask me about it sometime) he's also autistic, but these things aren't connected.

Jeff mentions in an earlier season "either truth is relative or I'm God." well, both are somewhat true. as the series progresses, despite denying to Abed's face that they are in a TV show, he gets better at knowing and manipulating the rules of the Universe that surrounds him. (example: steel drums Frankie). he claims to be lazy, and probably does not have a life Off-screen the way the others do. he saves for when the Magic is happening.

I've been thinking about it a lot

Werewolf, mummies, ghoul and 🦉 for whenever you have time^^

Thank you for the questions! ^_^ Shockingly, I have ended up with time now, so that's very convenient and novel and etc. :D

Werewolf– favorite antagonist/villain you have ever written for?

Oooof. This is hard. I tend not to write antagonists per se, because up until now I have rejected typical story structure and had a sorta more ambiguous conglomerate/organisation as The Bad Guy or just, no Bad Guy. (Or, perhaps most frequently, a Bad Guy who becomes a Love Interest, so. 😅)

However! Whilst writing that I remembered that I quite enjoyed writing some of the scenes with the primary antagonist in Hellbent, in a similar way to which I enjoyed writing the climax of ATN; taking both of those observations, I realise that I think what I enjoy the most about writing villains/whatever is writing the reaction of the 'protagonist' to the big confrontations that occur. Both of the scenes I'm thinking of are super emotionally charged and basically climactic, and I think I enjoy the dynamic that comes into play with that. ^_^

Also I'm hella looking forward to writing a couple of antagonists for D&D, so this answer may change when I eventually get to that project, too. :P

Mummies – what would 3 of your oc’s be dressed for Halloween?

Oh lord, should've expected a Halloween question from the Halloween asks. 😆 Legit though I am useless at these kinds of things because I strongly dislike dressing up myself, so it's hard to think of what the heck my characters would like to do because of my visceral hatred of the whole enterprise.

Unreasonably vehement dislike of costumes aside, let me think...

So I reckon Latrell would be most like me; he's got such solid walls up against the entire world that dressing up would be way too close to feeling vulnerable. So -- given his work 'uniform' is a suit, think TV detectives sorta idea -- he'd probably dress as, like, a lawyer. (Think Jeff Winger from Community as David Beckham sorta idea. 😂)

Ronan actually is pretty easy too, he'd go as like a sexy firefighter or something like that. He works hard to look like he does, he wants to show it off! But it'd be as 'tasteful' as that sorta costume could be, not like a tongue-in-cheek joke costume, because he takes everything way too seriously.

Oh, Albie! Now Albie would be wayyyy into Halloween. She would likely go as a very well-known character -- I'm thinking something like Red Riding Hood? Or another classic fairytale sorta thing that everybody knows. Even a witch; yeah, I'm seeing her with some outrageous over-the-top cloak sorta idea. Her costume would not at all be revealing, but she'd still fucking work it, y'know? Because that's what Albie does. :D

(That took... an alarming amount of thought. Talk about ways to get to know my characters better! 😂)

Ghoul - Top 5 tropes that you enjoy/hate writing?

Oh, man. Oh, lordy. Now here's a question.

Now, I'm not so great at tropes, so I did have a bit of a look through tvtropes for inspiration. The first couple in each list came to me immediately, the others I had to look up names for:

LOVE: forbidden romance; rivals to lovers; found family; a specific combo of badass in distress and defiant captive; and character undercover, whereby a character pretends to be on one side and they're actually on the other (and then they potentially actually switch sides? Or they don't! So much potential in this trope ahhhh).

HATE: instalove; one-solution only love triangles (meaning if the solution is some type of poly situation, I'm waaaay more on board); clumsy is a flaw where literally the only consequence of their clumsiness is falling into the Love Interest's arms; kinda dovetails with doesn't think she's beautiful where the (usually first person POV) narrator goes on and on about how plain they are and then ends up in the aforementioned love triangle by the end of the first chapter; aaaaand... oh! Not sure if this is a trope per se, but I hate writer as main character. Something about it seriously rubs me the wrong way, like an author has taken the write what you know advice way too far. Like, I actively avoid books that have MCs and/or narrators that are supposed to be authors. This really should have been my first one on the hate list because damn, I really hate it. 😅

Whew, that was... a lot. Looks like I primarily hate badly-written YA? 😅 But yeah! Thanks for making me think on that, was a lot harder than I expected! :D

And finally...

🦉 – multiple pov or single pov?

Used to be multiple POV, always. ATN is probably the first story I've ever written where I didn't get to a certain point and be like 'oh man, I'm gonna need [character]'s perspective in here too!'. Given my musing about finding different character's voices, I also think single POV is something I'm gonna make an effort to stick with for my next few projects! ^_^

#ask game #WIP: ATN #oh my lord that got long #so sorry #legit sometimes i just can't shut myself up #and i'm also currently on my computer #which means I can type a helluva lot faster than on my phone #and jump between tabs and do all sorts of things the tumblr mobile app freaks out about if i try to do it on there #so it lends itself to my blathering #ANYWAY #thank you so much for the questions! ^_^#thoroughly enjoyed answering these! :D

“Hey. What are you doing out here?” he asks, turning to face her.

Britta looks down at the cold concrete and grips the edge of the step that she’s sitting on the slightest bit tighter. “Nothing. Just taking a moment alone.”

“Yeah, that was some pretty intense stuff today, almost getting locked in a bunker for the rest of our lives,” Jeff remarks.

“Sha.” Britta laughs, because what else is there to do? They did almost get trapped in a bunker underneath their school for the rest of their lives, with only each other, a mad scientist, and his crazy robot for company. If she’d said anything else more substantial, the weight of the situation might have crushed them both.

Jeff finds Britta outside the Greendale library after the school is saved. Set after episode 05x13: Basic Sandwich.

Aaaaaahh, can you tell me more about the President's son/Bodyguard AU? I know we've talked about it before but it just *clenches tiny fist* sounds so awesome. Also, I have never in my life watched a hockey game but for some reason, I love hockey AUs. A little something for the starving, please? 🤩

So for those that don’t know the President’s son/Bodyguard AU is one in which Bucky is the son of current president Winnifred Barnes (and former Pres George Barnes - basically he grew up in the spotlight not unlike the Kennedy kids). There is an attempt on his life and, in order to protect him, the Secret Service assigns Agent Clint Barton to pose as his boyfriend. Shenanigans ensue. The opening scene is at a party and Bucky’s pov - he’s been flirting with a hot waiter and having a good time and then the following kinda sucky action scene happens. lol ~Bucky had just finished a bacon wrapped scallop when he heard a pop. It took a second to register that it wasn't just an average sound but rather the sound of gunfire. Between one blink and the next though Natasha was covering his body with her own and shoving him towards the fence. They had just slipped through an opening and onto the sidewalk when another shot rang out and Natasha made a noise.

“You've been hit!” Bucky said feeling very slow and then a car pulled up to the curb. Natasha wrenched open the door and Bucky expected Gabe to be in the driver seat when he climbed in, a third shot screaming off the car where his head had been a moment before. Instead he saw the face of the Hot Waiter peering over the seats.

Natasha dove in herself and she bit out “Just drive!” when hot waiter's eyes widened at the sight of her bloody shoulder but did as he was told, pulling out into traffic and taking off at a speed that surprised Bucky.

“We need to get her to the hospital,” Bucky called out.

“Negative – we need to get you to safety first,” Natasha gritted out and Bucky removed his jacket to give to her to hold against the wound.

“He's got a point Nat,” Hot Waiter said, swerving in and out of traffic with an ease that would've turned Bucky on under different circumstances.

“Just drive Clint!” Natasha said through a wince. “We need to get him to safety.” She turned her gaze to Bucky. “You're not hit at all, are you?”

“No, and it's all thanks to you,” he said feeling inadequate and confused. He knew it was Natasha's job to look out for him and that in fact she would take a bullet for him but knowing that and actually experiencing it first hand were two very different things. He pressed a little harder against the jacket covered wound on Natasha's shoulder. She was losing blood...

Confusion was edging a little into anger when combined with his worry for Natasha because who the fuck was the Hot Waiter? Well, Clint apparently was his name and he was on a first name basis with Natasha which meant... “Which fucking alphabet agency do you belong to?” Bucky asked Clint.

Clint didn't answer, sharply changing lanes at the last moment to grab an exit. Bucky had no idea where they were.

Eventually, Clint pulled up in front of an apartment complex, throwing the car in park and tossing a set of keys back to Bucky who juggled them briefly but didn't drop them. Clint was at the door a moment later, helping Bucky out, then helping Natasha who was looking a little pale but not as bad as Bucky had been worried. The trio made their way inside and up to a fourth floor apartment.

“Who the fuck are you?” Bucky said getting up into Clint's personal space as soon as the door shut.

“Special Agent Clint Barton – you're welcome for saving your life by the way.” He was entirely too calm and that annoyed Bucky even more.

“I think Nat mainly did that.”

“That she did – now you want to cuss me out or let me take a look at her?” --- Re hockey AU’s...man I have like a few starts and stops for NHL level ones and then the college one is more of an idea. Here is a snippet of one possibility - with bonus Deadpool! ~“Hey hey if it isn't the sensual hockey God I know and love,” a voice called out and Bucky's stomach twisted at the way Clint laughed in reply. How throaty and pleased it sounded. Why this would bother him and how he'd come to categorize Clint's laughs was low on his list of priorities of things to figure out. “Jesus Wade, we've already got a date tonight you don't need to lay it on any thicker,” came Clint's reply and Bucky's stomach lurched again because date? What? “Who says I'm laying anything on thick?” Wade Wilson, winger for the New Jersey Devils, said as he sauntered into their lounge area like he owned the place. “Jeff Gillooly! How you doing?” He offered his hand to Bucky and it was only by reflex that he took it. “Shit that's who you look like!” Clint said with a chuckle as he glanced over at Bucky. “Well, a hotter version of the real guy.” “Agreed, way hotter,” Wade chimed in and Bucky was so confused he almost didn't realize he was blushing. “Oh now that's just precious.” And he realized Wade was talking about him and he rolled his eyes and went back to gathering his things. “You guys have a date tonight?” Bucky found himself asking, pleased he sounded neutral and then curious as to why sounding that was was important. Actually no, it made sense, he didn't want to sound like an asshole if Clint had a date with another man. He wasn't in the closet as deeply as Bucky was, it made sense that he was dating. “After years of pining he finally said yes,” Wade replied, hand on his chest. “You were not pining for years,” Clint replied, shoving his shoulder lightly and they both laughed. “But yeah, I figured why not when Wade asked – though it was hard to figure out if he was kidding all things considered.” “No one ever kids about wanting to date you, Barton.” Wade said, voice sincere. “Ain't that right Barnes?” ---- WIP Ask Game
