down where it's wetter Galex, complete, 8k, rated E.

George pinches his nose and sighs. “Alright, so you want what? Him to be a merman?” He leaves as long a pause as he can before the second offering. Don’t go. Don’t leave me. But it’s one of his specialities and Alex knows that. “You to be a human?” “That one! I want the legs, and the feet and the whole- um. The whole package. With the long bit and the two-” George wants to die. Alex is cupping a hand in front of his tail like he’s juggling a couple of sea urchins and George wants to die.

(But to be real: there are tentacles. you already know whether or not you're going to read this.)

Many, many thanks to @sorbitoldaddy @onadarklingplain and my beloved @latecomersprivilege for reading this despite me peppering in far too much octopus anatomy. Also spiritually this is in honour of the @f1-pussy-curse-fest, I just couldn't wait until October.

George has never, ever been able to get anything out of his system. He’s not sure why he thinks Alex will be the exception.

chapter six !

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

in light of recent events, i'm thinking about bond villian george again...

Chaining these two together in my guilt and shame. The Bond AU is in the deepest put of WIP hell, to the extent that there's not even a true snippet I can post that's complete enough to share. But, dear anons (or possibly same anon twice), this season is really pushing me in that direction. Let George have his vengeance!

I do have a tiny bit of his villainous monologue though:

“I'm a consultant. A broker. I'm rather good at getting people to talk to each other, and holding them to the promises they make. Killing them if they don't. That sort of thing. You understand, after all that time in training I wasn't looking to reskill, even if the British government decided my talents were surplus to requirements.”

Insane scenes with the backmarkers today btw

[leafsheepie]

the first thing i was reminded of after seeing that on board of george’s dnf was austria. this shit is tragically poetic. so similar in the way he extends his hands but so unimaginably different at the same time. it’s the difference between the rising feeling of hope and the crushing fall of realisation.

outward, towards the world

inward, towards himself

Guys you don't understand it's fine. This is totally fine and normal and okay to happen. It's just a thorny road which stabs you repeatedly as you walk on it and there's blood blood blood blood blood and it hurts and it degloves the skin on your fucking feet but it's okay because it's gonna be worth it.

[ctimenefic]

Can't wait for Torger to find some way to blame George for that

Well that's that then, goodbye
