i have another au i wanna introduce: mayors son!graves and ex pornstar!reader…hear me out. they gossip abt u two in the magazines :0
genuis ask; you have big brain...
SCANDAL | PHILLIP GRAVES
mayors!son!graves who isn't ignorant to the purity culture in the south, especially growing up in a conservative town. hell, he's about as stereotypical as you can get — and the media vultures still dig up dirt on him.
he doesn't care for his father much either. but reputation matters, whether people want to believe it or not. graves doesn't dare slander his own blood publicly; he'd end up running against him, or forced into exile by public opinion.
he didn't have interest in either scenario.
he only had interest in you.
the less attention and spotlight, the better. no easy task when you come from an influential family — and even more difficult when you made a living in adult films years ago.
mayors!son!graves who met you at a restaurant, when you took your break out back. an apron draped around your shoulders, and the pitiful, outdated diner uniform you hated. why the hell the mayors son was in this part of town, or speaking to you, it was a mystery.
at first, you thought he was like the rest of the politicians and their kin. their mistresses and dirty fantasies that disregard how they preach "family values" the next day.
but he wasn't.
graves didn't know you for your body, your intimate moments, not even word of mouth; just you, for you, in that moment.
mayors!son!graves who made his best effort to keep the media off his back, thus preventing any spotlight cast on your "sins".
he wound up unsuccessful, when photos of you two leaked.
first, a clear shot of you and him in his truck, on your fourth date. just when things between you had begun turning serious and meaningful, and in return — heating up.
the second photo, a week after you revealed your past to him, unaware of the digging the journalists were doing. a blurry shot of you two through the curtains, his business shirt unbuttoned, and you straddling him.
how they discovered your identity through a shaky cam, you didn't care to know. but your skeletons were out in the open.
nothing changed after you told him about your porn career.
nothing changed after the media spread like wildfire. surely, he was losing his mind, right?
his daddy would have hell to pay for this. graves was shocked he didn't have a heart attack and keel over once the articles were forwarded to his assistants.
he could already smell the mobs; feel the blinding flash of their cameras.
stepping out to collect the newspaper the next day was definitely going to be a treat.

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! CAROL DIDN'T CHEAT!! THAT RED PANDA'S TRYING TO STEAL CAROL'S WIN!!"
"Mayor Zao wasn't exactly... The best person I met when I first came to Avalice, but this is the worst I've seen him. It's clear he's trying to give Spade an unfair advantage..."
"Somebody put a hit on that annoying little fur ball so I can take him down and collect the bounty."
"Gantz, I know you're new here, but even you should know we don't kill on this team."
"Relax, short stuff. I was only kidding."
"Father, can I sue the red panda? Can I slap him with a lawsuit?"
"I doubt that would work, my boy. Even if rigging the Battlesphere Blitz is a dishonest tactic, he technically owns it, right? Plus, I have a feeling just he'd rig the Court in his favor as well."
"Dang it! I really do not like dishonest people who are in power!"
