here are some important links for all things Damie of mine for The Haunting of Bly Manor.
you can read my prompt responses here or on ao3 right here!
somewhere that’s green: When Jamie finds a strange and unusual plant, it seems like things might actually get better.
But they don't.
Not even close.
[or: a Damie-style Little Shop of Horrors AU written by me and my wife]
my superhero AU to catch them if they fall is no longer posted. however, you can still check out the amazing art done for super!Dani by @dani-b-goode, which are available on Redbubble here and here!
how love burns through: “Some people, maybe, she has time to think and then Dani is kissing her again. Sighing with relief into Jamie’s mouth, giggling the most beautiful sound she’s ever heard and, okay. This is something she might be able to keep.”
[or: Jamie learns that some people might be worth the effort.]
our bodies possessed by light: “It’s been only a few days, yes, but there is something of a promise in Jamie’s eyes already. Something like: ‘I’m with you. I’m with you. It’s you. It’s us.’”
[or: Dani stops running long enough to get the girl.]
cherry-colored love (on and on and on): “‘And I know you already have a soulmate,’ she says to Jamie, the soft-eyed, North star love of her life, gone pale and careful. ‘But every time I touch you, I can’t help wishing it were me.’”
[Dani tries her best to hide from Fate. Too bad it finds her anyway.]
just give it time: "So: this is what it’s like to be marked, this is how it feels to belong to someone. Jamie thought it would hurt more. It doesn’t hurt at all. It doesn’t burn or ache or jab."
[Jamie doesn't believe in love. Right up until she does.]
your whole perspective gets hazy: “It’s not that the words aren’t true. They are. But the thought of ever actually allowing Dani to read them—to know that Jamie, her friend and colleague, has been having pornographic fantasies about her is disastrous.God, she’s really far gone, isn’t she?”
[or: that Atonement letter mishap Damie style]
and they were roommates: Jamie is lovesick and over it. Dani is semi-oblivious and has a boyfriend in America. Oh, and they're roommates. What could possibly go wrong?
[or: Jamie and Dani host their own teen angst variety show.]
one day at a time: "'This six feet thing is killing me, Jamie,' Dani says, voice cracking with emotion. 'If I don't touch you right this second, I think I'll actually go crazy.' And, well. Jamie knows the feeling."
[Quarantine is the worst. Having a hot neighbor helps.]
if the fates allow: Jamie hates Christmas and doesn't believe in love. Dani Clayton might be able to change that.
[or: a The Holiday AU]
shame on everyone (involved): Dani and Jamie getting together through Hannah's (reluctant) perspective.
it’s all or nothing: “‘I love you,’ Jamie says. ‘More than I’ve ever loved anything in my life. And I know it’s selfish...that it’s asking too much, but please...close the door for me. Because I can’t do this anymore.’
Dani’s fingers curl into Jamie’s hair. She’s crying and Jamie wants to kiss away each tear. ‘I can’t. I don’t know how,’ she admits, a sob breaking apart the words. ‘I don’t know what to do.’”
[or: a Married at First Sight AU that possibly only i want.]
what are friends for?: “I-I just don’t want things to be...weird between us,” Dani says, feeling her face get hot under Jamie’s bewildered gaze. “And they are.”
“I love that you think going down on me is going to make things less weird.”
[Dani hasn't been kissed in two years. Jamie offers to fix that. Things get weird.]
tales from the friend zone: Dani has a tendency to be a bit too honest when she drinks.
Jamie handles it about as well as you'd expect her to.
[or: how to get from the friend zone to the end zone.]
