fully 18 months after last update, still here
I did eventually finish that reread. and resisted the urge to edit. main problem was pacing (atrocious), it really shows when I tried to cram in too much for the sake of worldbuilding/exposition
but I will say. ch4? especially the end where they start really bouncing off one another? not completely bad
The Unquiet Dead
Postmortem Lutecest Rating: T Words: 6k (complete) Content Warnings: Comstock, Fink, references the plot of Bioshock Infinite (but Constance Field is in it too!)
On the eve of R. Lutece’s funeral, three of Columbia’s residents are visited by a pair of very outspoken ghosts.

Part 1: The Experiment / Part 2: The Morning After
From the notes of R. Lutece:
As our research progresses, there must naturally arise questions of physical proximity and interaction between quantum-paired individuals. We have begun the basics—for example, mere touch has not catastrophically collapsed our superposition—but it’s time we move to the next logical step, in exploring more intimate intercourse. Thus far I’ve held back, out of concern for my brother’s health, but also, I’ll admit, out of a misapplied habit of propriety. Not that there might be anything improper in what I propose—it is an experiment, nothing more. Though it does fall outside our usual realm of maths and mechanics, our expertise in physics need not preclude an interest in biology. And what self-respecting scientist could resist the chance? After a great deal of thought, I’ve broached the subject, and my brother agrees. We begin tonight.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: BioShock Infinite Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Robert Lutece/Rosalind Lutece Characters: Rosalind Lutece, Robert Lutece Additional Tags: Period-Typical Sexism, Flirting, Fluff, Secret Relationship, banter without plot, unsure how to rate this one — it’s just flirting but it’s not subtle Summary:
A bachelor and a spinster attract different types of gossip. In the case of R. Lutece, neither could be farther from the truth.
Rosalind's choice to pass off Robert as her twin brother is actually insane when you think about it. Sure it could work if they kept a low profile... but she's famous. Rosalind didn't just make an apple float, she made a CITY fly! People, at least in the field of physics, would know who she was. Countries also bragged like crazy (for nationalist reasons) when their citizens marked achievement in science and exploration.
Are her parents even dead? Wouldn't they be alarmed to hear she's living with a man she's trying to pass off as her brother. That's not even including any aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, old schoolmates, and even the colleagues she associated with who would distinctly remember she had a twin.
It's not even like Rosalind kept Robert a secret. They shared a statue! Anyone who ever knew her before Columbia took off, would be super confused, because who the hell is Robert. Yh he looks like her (he is her) but who is this guy?!?!?
oof. yeah. shit's bad, man.
it's been a hard year. personally, financially, emotionally. politically/world events obv. I don’t see the personal part getting better without major changes I don’t feel equipped to make. I’m so, so tired.
and there’s a little dead zone in my heart were caveline used to be. I haven’t touched t+t in a full year. the luteces have thoroughly moved in and set up shop, so there's that -- maybe I just need their easy sweetness while everything else is hard, instead of an emotionally complicated pair who don't really deserve to be happy. it's weird, though. I'm sad.

In front of a dark background on the left, an android woman stares down at the viewer with a slight smile on her face.

The image is mirrored on the right side of the banner /end ID]
Overall Fic Description:
After nearly dying on the surface, Chell returns to Aperture. She reluctantly places her trust in GLaDOS, but GLaDOS is playing the long game.

Chapter banner art from @gladosisstillalesbian! Thanks to them for making this art a year or two ago behind-the-scenes and holding onto it until now. Excited to finally be able to share it!!
And if you're looking for even more TLG art that I've been blessed with from tons of talented artists, can be viewed on my blog under #tlg art!! I am very very excited to share this chapter with you all. This scene has been a driving force for me since 2020 and I wanted to be sure I could do it justice compared to the version that's been playing in my head for years. Thank you to @fuchsiamae and @gladosisstillalesbian for support on this chapter for literal years and helping me develop it to where it is today ♥

Fine, then, she says, and she doesn’t sound sweet anymore. She doesn’t sound angry. She doesn’t sound anything.
We can do it this way.
For old times’ sake.

i am asexual and it shows
ok but. I gotta ask.
so what is the truth
YOU GOT MY ASS AHAHAH!! honestly, 18+ fanfics are not my cup of tea, and i would not have read it if i had the opportunity to choose. but i read almost everything about them on AO3, so at some point, all i had left was smut. If i remember it right, you wrote a pretty good fanfics, plus, the fandom is extremely small, so i left kudos on your work!
and you are right that some queerness would be good. after some time passed, i think they are pan and asexual to me. but im okay with every interpretation.
oh desperation in a small/dead fandom is SO valid, I hope my characterization made up for the fucking, thankyou for reading anyway
I will point out tho, idk if you missed them or just didn't hit kudos, I do have several new(ish) ones without fucking (two with kissing, one pre-crossing where they're limited to marveling from afar at how brilliant and gorgeous they are)
