ā¤ ongoing producer george & TA matty AU: oneshots (3)
(just dealing with a) frail state of mind: a Frail State of Mind lyric fic; abiior/Angelic Studios era.
shutupshutupshutdown: request add-on blurb (~1.5k) to the God and Country verse! self-titled era matty having a nightmare and going down the hall to george's room to find peace, comfort, and a safe set of arms.
we'll stay home on the twenty-fifth: post-satvb/on hiatus; matty finally asks george if he wants to start a family (on christmas day, no less).
one shot inspired by theĀ doron langberg painting āloversā: self-titled era; definitely-not-in-a-relationship stage george & matty decide to have an evening together with the lights on. george is nervous. matty thinks thereās no one more perfect.Ā
written in a magazine: post-satvb/on hiatus; a music magazine sends someone to write a profile about matty. he reads the article and starts to see himself, his life with george, through the understanding of the public for the first time. yes, now he's home from tour, but why hasn't anyone understood that with George, he's never felt like he's actually left...
ā¤ into spiral patterns of you (my love) (2/5): hiatus/married with kids era; george falls into a sudden deep depressive episode for the first time in over ten years. matty wants to be able to keep the entire house and family routine afloat without a single hiccup, but it's very difficult when he's so distracted. so worried...
belief in everything you're saying: self-titled era; twist on the lyrics/melancholy of Somebody Else; george overhears matty's last ex ask him if it's true he's really found somebody else so soon after their breakup. starts him thinking back to the moments that got them together. the moment he became that somebody else he keeps hearing so much about...
looked after & loved: ~1k words; vague eraly mfc era; dating matty & george. it's the middle of the night. they're on a tour bus (again) and matty can't sleep. he can hear (almost) everyone else sleeping. he wishes he could be near george. hear only george.
the way you know me: [E] post-bfiafl/atvb era; married George & Matty. matty returns home from a horribly unproductive day helping out in the studio. he feels exhausted, overstimulated, and disconnected from homeāfrom george. he asks george, silently and then with words, to remind him of what it feels like to be home, to be loved, to be taken care of.
arriving home 04:17:43: ~590 words; george arriving home from a trip away and being greeted at the door, despite the early hour.
Where We Are Together: self titledābfiafl era; four moments of Matty and George's developing relationshipāfrom self-titled to bfiaflāthat all center around the safety, consistency, and reliability of being in George's car together; that feeling of "youāre in a car with a beautiful boy..." (but this time he always loves you back)
do you need me? (you're all i need): early abiior/mfc tour; Matty hasn't entirely caught up to the speed of touring again (yet). His body is tired and his bones creak and his clothes don't fit in any way that feels particularly nice. George lends him his own shirt before a radio interview on their day off and Matty remembers just how it feels to be so wholly loved, and want to love in return (in any way his body can).
i can't exist inside my own head: post-bfiafl/atvb era; married George & Matty. George isn't feeling his best and feels the need to apologize to Matty for ruining their night. Based on the post "Sex is cool but has anyone stayed awake with you just because you are feeling low?"
Someone to Watch You: backstage atvb, Matty is trying to comfort George and lift his sunken, sad mood (if he could find him first...) when a crew member needs Matty to quickly watch her daughter visiting for a Mummy at Work day. Matty is definitely not her mother and definitely still needs to find George. Laughs and child-logic aside, love is the center that will always hold.
if it was you that made my body: abiior era, during their time at the country house recording studio. Matty has a (slow, almost unnoticed) panic about whether God created him, or if he was left untouched while others around him were made divine. Like George. Always his George. Matty couldn't be the only one left to struggle like this, could he?
The Hours of the Left Behind: a meditation about George's POV in the hours right after dropping Matty off at the airport for Barbados. With Ross and Adam, he just tries to remember how to function and feel and process something so difficult and complicated. Character study-type fic with a hopeful ending and plenty of best friends supporting each other.
(Be My) God and Country (2/2): the proposal/wedding fic (ooften referred to as the "g&c" universe)! bfiafl/right before atvb era; Matty realizes during therapy a previous (ignored) conversation with George, about the engagement of their old neighbors, was his very subtle attempt to ask if Matty would marry him. Matty promptly resolves the misunderstanding with none of the finesse but all of the sincerity. Chapter 2 is all wedding, baby!
and we go āround and āround: the Anobrain lyric fic! Self titled era; George and Matty going for their usual, undefined drive to the outside of town. Matty says, as the song goes... "man I'm so high, I think I love you." and things go from there...
