[themountainsays-deactivated2025]

Reblog if you like it when people “spam reblog” from you or whenever that means at any time

[clementiiny]

based on this post of dead boy detective writers room jokes

[scribeherself]

people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

[scribeherself]

Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼

thank god the dbd finale didn’t leave heavy cliffhangers behind. obviously relationships arcs were something to look for, and surely we have curious arcs that were planned for s2 (Niko’s and Night Nurse’s), but yes, thank god, it doesn’t feel heavy to digest that we’ll never see how it ends, even tho it does make me sad that we won’t ❤️‍🩹

Fic: You'll be just my summer boyfriend

It's summertime and the sheets will be steamy.... Can a fake boyfriend and a one night stand turn into something more?

Part of the Catwin Discord's Summer Playlist 2 event! @catwinevents 🐈👑🔎👻

You’ll be just my summer boyfriend

(5383 words) by megs_bee Chapters: 1/2 Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV) Rating: Mature Relationships: Cat King/Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne Tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - No Powers, One Night Stands, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Cat King is Called Thomas (Dead Boy Detectives), Cat King is Down Bad (Dead Boy Detectives), Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Eventual Smut

Summary: Thomas is minding his own business, mildly overcaffeinated and stretched out on his favourite bench basking in the warm early-summer sun, when strong fingers wrap around his wrist and he’s unceremoniously hauled to his feet.

“Okay? Hey, hi. How about hands off the merchandise?” he snaps, stumbling to keep his footing as whoever grabbed him drags him into a quick walk. Then he looks up and gets an eyeful of exactly who disturbed his almost-catnap and immediately reassesses his reaction, voice dropping into a heated purr. “Or maybe not. Hello, handsome.” Because currently steering Thomas across the grass is the gorgeous, fascinating, extremely uptight guy that Thomas has been watching and lusting after since the start of the semester.

Tall, Sharp, and Fascinating pastes a stiff smile on his face as he stares determinedly ahead. “Play along and you’ll earn yourself a night of sex before I send you on your merry way.”

And far be it for Thomas to turn down the opportunity being laid at his metaphorical feet. He shrugs with a grin at his soon-to-be one-night stand. “Well, I’ve probably done worse things for a fuck than whatever this is going to be.”
