An excerpt of Concorde's unpublished Chapter 19! If you haven't read it — it's an AU where Ronan and Adam meet each other as children, through the glass prism of the latest and greatest, Niall Lynch! Nothing brings people together like a scoundrel.

Gansey nods. He takes the Swiss army knife that Adam passes him and clasps his fingers around it without flinching. “We’ll bring you back.” He offers his fist for a bump.  Adam feels a rush of warmth inside him, his body full and lived in. He bumps it.  Ronan pours the nightwash from Adam’s water bottle into the large porcelain bowl that Calla laid on the rug. It doesn’t bubble or clump together at all, only lapping side to side until it settles into his perfect reflection.  “You’ve mastered this shit to an art form,” Calla says, her compliments sparing and therefore treasured. She hovers over him, shadow rippling over the bowl. When Adam gives her a look that tells her to mind it, she cackles like a true witch and takes a few steps back, collapsing into the couch. “Persephone told me a while back that you’d surpassed her. I thought she was stuck in her weird space-time haze and meant some future adult you. You’re the whole shebang.” She sounds kind of put out about it, in the flattering way that comes from adults you actually respect. All raised eyebrows and huffed air. “He’s marvelous,” Gansey agrees. “Gansey,” says Adam, rubbing his face. It’s warm. “Ah, you’re embarrassing him,” coos Maura.  “Shut the fuck up,” Ronan says, sitting down beside Adam on the side of his hearing ear. He tugs at his leather bands, the simple gesture betraying his studied nonchalance. “Stop trying to steal my boyfriend away, Gansey. I’ll lose my shit.” Boyfriend. The label leaves Adam all light and fluttery. Ronan sounds like he’s been waiting to drop it for a while. Years, maybe. “But actually,” Adam says, trying to clear away all his thoughts, “please be quiet. I need to concentrate.” Blue mimes zipping her mouth shut. Adam exhales and loses his mind.

#concorde #its pretty good tbh <- guy who's been writing and publishing this fic with fran for 9+ months. #its abt abuse and intergenerational trauma and undooming ur own narrative and bowie and the weird things that happen when an adult pays #supposedly positive attention to u but u realized too late that you were his sucker.

as much as i love angst and don’t typically love like. being parents/having kids in fic……i do think wolfwood would want to settle down on a big plot of land and raise a bunch of orphans

#feeling so wretched and soft for him lately #me trying to undoom wolfwood from the narrative……. #he wants to help you cook dinner and he wants vash and meryl and livio over often #he wants to bark at them for eating all his food but it secretly makes him so so happy #wants to sit out on the back porch with you as the kids run around in the yard #someone put me out of my misery #cielo rambles!

Feeling sooo normal about Gale.

#BG3 #Gale of Waterdeep #ft my Tav Derya #I know love doesn't fix him it's a mixture of someone believing in him and his own strength #But just. God. #Sometimes it feels like the narrative itself has it out for him #And what if I can change that narrative. What if I can undoom you. #I am So So So So Normal about this man

my toxic trait is i read everything y'all write and i eat it up and i love your ships like even though i probably wouldn't care about them if not for y'all writing i'd read your yelling about them gladly and i'd read 10 page essays about them but then whenever i have brainrot about my own ships i just think i'll be annoying yelling about them 💁‍♂️

#» out of character — ⌜main sup irl.⌟ #i think in part it's #this thing the rpc (in general not league) #always had of 'you actually admit you're interested in shipping? disgusting' #kajsndfkajsnf #because yeah sure shipping isn't all there is to it #it's not all i enjoy writing or that i want in my blogs even #but developing relationships (romantic AND platonic) is literally one of my favorite things about rp #and i /do/ enjoy shipping greatly i love when we mash our little plastic dolls together it's so much fun it makes me feral sometimes #but i do love romance actually. i love complicated romance. i love enemies who have romantic feelings for each other #i love partners in crime and killing machines who get to be soft with each other. i love the idea of love possibly undooming the narrative #i just really enjoy romance (writing it. reading what you all write with it. all the romance) #i'd have hesitated to admit that before but. yeah i'm cringe but i'm free #(still get unreasonably anxious and think i'll be annoying everyone yelling about the ships in any blog)

Zane has never heard of a tuba cover before. To him, it sounds pretty freaking stupid.

The tuba is not an instrument Zane has ever had any conscious thought about. To him, it's solely a background instrument for nerds in band to play at school assemblies. It's not really music- not like sick-as-crap electric guitar, bass or drums. It's the instrument you take out for marches, raising school spirit, and looking really lame.

Corey Paul, of course, feels differently.

The tuba is a beautiful instrument, both in sound and aesthetic. He likes how the gold tube wraps in on and around itself, almost making art with its function. It looks purposeful, because it is, and that air of maturity makes for good art. Corey also likes the sound of the tuba. He'd never really been an outgoing kid. His voice cracks under pressure or when he laughs too much and he's never had anything important enough to say with confidence. The tuba, though, is loud by default. Its sound is rich and deep, filling the room and demanding your attention. Corey likes that; he likes that the tuba knows what it wants, and both looks and sounds good doing it.

Zane's never really had much of a reason to give a crap what Corey thinks, though. They're friends, sure, but they both know where their interests lie. Corey had once tried bridging the gap by asking Zane if he could tuba him a song for his game, but quickly shut that down after being laughed at in his face.

Point is- it was fine. Corey could be a class clown comedian with an ugly instrument and Zane could be the X-Slayer game developer with all around superior tastes. Neither needed to change the other's mind.

…Which is why Corey's next move confuses him.

Corey stops Zane after his last class, doing that thing he does where he bounces on his heels in excitement. Corey and Zane have a schedule of hanging out every Thursday after school, and it's Monday, so he's not expecting him to come barreling into Mrs. Patterson's classroom, wheezing with excess energy, like he was rushing to see him. He doesn't expect Corey, someone usually so uptight about his personal space, to eagerly grab his shoulder, either, but he does that too, and it isn't terrible.

Through the breaths of an unathletic teenager who just ran down two flights of stairs and through a hall, Corey explains he has a surprise for Zane, something he's been working really hard on, and he just finished it so he has to come see it right now. Although confused, Zane doesn't have any gripes with this, and he tells Corey to just wait a minute for him to pack his things and he'll come see. Corey's hand retreats from his shoulder like a wounded animal, but he's still smiling as he says OK.

Zane thinks it's gross Corey's taking him to the Band Hall, otherwise known in his mind as Nerdface Central, but he reminds himself that Corey apparently worked hard on something for him, so he should hold back on any unsavory comments- just for a little bit.

Corey leads him to the center of the hall, up an elevated stage platform and to a white soor on the left. Zane feels some apprehension going in, like Corey's just asked him to walk straight into a teacher's lounge, but Corey opens the door and holds it for him, and the gesture is so homey that it'd feel wrong to do anything other than walk straight in.

The room past the door is significantly smaller, and seems to be some kind of closet. The room is entirely cleared out save for a small speaker, Corey's tuba case on the ground, and two chairs around it. Given that the chair furthest from him is right behind the tuba case, Zane assumes the other chair is for him, and slides his backpack off his shoulder, letting it fall to the ground before he sits in his seat.

The door shuts behind him and Corey hurries over to the speaker. Zane asks him what's the surprise but Corey unsurprisingly tells him to be patient. There's a small MP3 player attached to the speaker, and Corey fiddles with it some before pressing play. No sound comes out, but Corey doesn't seem alarmed, instead simply reaching down to his case and setting up his Tuba. He gently hauls it up into his lap and adjusts it accordingly, ready to be played. Zane feels a weird sort of antsy about it, and asks Corey again why exactly he's here. This time, Corey just smiles, and answers: "I found a Nothing Left For Me instrumental online."

Suddenly, the music starts.

Zane would recognize that intro anywhere, even when scraped to just its fundamentals. The realization is sudden, but interrupted by the deep tone of Corey's tuba. Zane almost can't hear the music over the tuba at first, but he's quick to notice how the instrumental and Corey's playing interact with eachother; they're meant to be the same song

Corey is playing him a tuba cover of Nothing Left For Me.

That sentence is about the lamest string of words Zane can possibly think of, but it really doesn't feel that way in the moment. Zane knows about Seepage- everything about Seepage- and he knows they don't post tutorials on how to play tuba covers of their music. For Corey to be playing a cover of Zane's favorite song, for him, on the freaking tuba, he'd have to have come up with the composition himself.

Usually, when receiving a gift, Zane doesn't feel much beyond a vague sense of hype and excitement. But imagining Corey listening to Nothing Left For Me for hours, reimagining it in a medium he could replicate, just to play it for Zane? He feels… flattered, which isn't a feeling he's used to.

A part of the back of Zane's mind is still arguing whether or not he likes this gift. Throwing Seepage's electric metal awesomeness into the ringer only for it to come out the end of a tuba should be a disgrace to Seepage itself, it says, and Zane agrees… just only in theory. Because maybe Corey didn't just listen to the song, maybe he had an understanding of what made it so awesome to Zane in the first place. And maybe that's why it manages to sound pretty good- even with a tuba.

Zane honestly didn't realize Corey liked him that much. As much as his cool punk persona was totally based in reality, he'd never had all that many friends. Not close ones, anyway. He hung out with dudes, they hung out with him, and that was about the end of it. None of his other buddies would make him a gift, nevertheless perform it for him. Does this mean something, then? Had Corey put nearly as much thought into this as Zane is thinking he did? The confrontation of this sudden fondness is confusing, and Zane doesn't know much of what to do with it.

Conveniently, of course, the music stops then, leaving a small bit of silence where Zane isn't totally snapped out of whatever train of thought Corey's sent him on. Corey either doesn't notice or doesn't care, and simply moves the interaction along with a "So? Did you like it?"

Zane looks Corey in the eye, past his square wire frame glasses and dorky grin. He smiles, all teeth, and a quick laugh escapes him, entirely gratitude and nerves as his ears burn a little behind him.

"Dude, you're really good!"

is there a lot of setomary content in this world yes. but none of it portraying the dynamic i need it to......

#the 'ill doom the narrative for your sake' and 'ill undoom the narrative for your sake' dynamic #like these two are crazy. literally depressed as hell hated the world until they met one another #also even without this context i still see ppl getting their dynamic wrong like.. #like theyre not kyaaa kyaaa so cute happy dates first of all #firstly seto is tsukihiko af meaning he'll build a house for her if she wants one. #and also he has an anxiety disorder. like dude is not just taking her out to places....... #and also hes like. way too shy to ever tell her his feelings. #and like mary is not happy happy going on dates btw.... this is a woman who gets scammed by salesmen #everytime she steps out of the house LMFAO #she probably wants to see around the city but shes so anxious. n seto is just as anxious and hides it so he enables her being a shutin LOL #kgprambling #THEY HAVE MULTITUDES OK..... but they just get reduced to being the happy cute couple #cuz well thats what they were for the first 2 years #and then outer science made it so they were the cute Tragic couple and fjsdlfjsldkf #stopping myself from writing a whole setomary thesis in the tags. i can do that in another post #seto tag
