Top Gun Drabble Challenge: Pride

Exactly 100 words for @topgundrabble (and also for @shorelinetides)

Huddled around Javy's phone, the squad peers down at the photograph with mixed surprise and delight.

It's Jake.

It's Jake in the world's tightest pants and a cropped t-shirt. There's a chain around his waist. His hair is free of its usual strictures, artfully messy. There's a pride flag slung over one shoulder. He is covered in glitter.

"Bradshaw, you run into Hangman at the Pride parade yesterday?" Natasha asks, sweetly. Across the room, Bradley looks up, startled, and frowns.

"Uh, yeah, I think I…. saw him. How'd you know?"

Nat's grin is predatory.

"There's still glitter in your mustache."

Been lying in bed (sick) and imagining a hook-up between Bradley and Jake, several weeks post-Mission. Maybe a promotion or award ceremony. They're less antagonistic towards each other, but still not nice with each other exactly.

Thing is the UST is now through the roof, but they're completely oblivious to it, as well as how the other may or may not feel. However they both pretend to be a little more drunk than they are, using alcohol as an excuse to say things, all while being pretty much sober.

So they're all-out flirting with each other, both of them thinking the other is QUITE DRUNK to be responding this way, and it just kind of spirals into them dancing together, then finding a quiet spot and making out. Then agreeing to go back to a hotel room (and each of them swinging wildly between WANT and GUILT and mentally trying to talk themselves both into and out of it simultaneously...) Until:

"Fuck, wish you didn't have to be drunk to want to fuck me..."

"I'm not drunk. I've had one beer."

"Thanks for the drink," Bradley says, spinning the glass between his fingers before taking another appreciative sip. "How'd you know my brand?" The man laughs, and Bradley watches the movement of his throat, the curl of his lips. "Well now," the man says, and there's a trace of country in his vowels that Bradley can't quite tell if he's imagining, an illusion conjured up by the influence of his surroundings. "There's certain things you can just tell about a guy."

or; Bradley, Jake, and meeting for the first time. Again.

featuring: aggressive flirting, strangers to lovers except not that at all, tongue-in-cheek daddy kink, and a lot of really fed up friends

Jake Seresin walks into tryouts for the Running Man with a plan, a goal, and a hell of a vendetta. Six years ago, Bradley Bradshaw walked into the Network Building and never came back.

Somehow, the murder show that separated them also brings them back together. No one wins the Running Man, or do they?

aka

The Running Man AU where Jake goes on the show to avenge his lost love, everyone's favorite Hunter is a little too interested in him, and two people that the world wants to pit against each other decide to take it on together, again, and again, and again. And after all the fighting, how do you learn how to live?

(Fully written, posting every Sunday for 4 weeks).

When Jake Seresin is peer pressured into taking a last minute vacation, he certainly doesn’t expect Bradley Bradshaw to tag along. He also doesn’t expect to discover that his hotel is a hotspot for newlyweds. Nothing, however, could be more unexpected than finding himself on a fake honeymoon with his coworker, who just so happens to be inconveniently attractive.

OR

Bradley convinces Jake to fake a marriage for a fruit platter (and other reasons).

---

chapter 1 - love island is a documentary

chapter 2 - bradshaw(s), baby

chapter 3 - some people are immune to good advice

thank you to everyone who heard me whinge about/rant about/painstakingly explain the plot of fake honeymoon, you know who you are! shout out @mxrcusflint who talked me off a ledge re: substantially reducing my word count (aka. saving my sanity) and @butchbradshaw and @shorelinetides who lived the nightmare/dream with me in the doc 💖 you may all have one fruit basket.

There are 2 types of fanfic:

fanfic that I like

fanfic that is none of my business

[azaablue]

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

GUYS for weeks I’ve been telling my husband that we could get home insurance WAY cheaper than what the loan officer had set up. I’m like “oh they are totally scamming us with the highest rate”. And my husbands like babe. No they said they are giving us the best one! And I’m like THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT!! TRICKSTERS!!!

well. today… i finally sat down to get a bunch of quotes from all the insurances on my own. SOOO EAGER to get a better deal. Well. Guess what.

HE WAS RIGHT THEY WERE GIVING US THE CHEAPEST ONE. 😭😭
