Lee Jong Suk for Esquire Korea | February 2021 bonus:
Heat of the Moment
I've finally posted the second part of my gift for @boutiquetraveltravelboutique, I hope you'll like it!
Part 1 (2k, M, violence)
Part 2 (1k, E, no warnings)
Summary: the first practice fight (and ensuing sexytimes) of Quỳnh and Andromache post-canon.
How did I reach my goal of 50 TOG fics on ao3 and didn't even notice adsfghjkl
It's at 51 now... What happened xD
Well 50 Andromaquynh, 1 Kaysanova... :D
& don't worry I shan't stop posting now that I've reached my goal, there's still more to come!!!
I've an idea for an Andromaquynh fic that I won't write because I have too many others already, so if anyone wants to do it feel free, just let me know so I can read ittt, credit me w/ the idea & link to this post!
(If you're not into Andromaquynh, Sry in advance for the long post w/o readmore, my app is bugging and won't let me add one)
Andromache is a car accident victim who ends up disabled- not very visibly so, and many don't believe her when she says so, but she has scars under her clothes and her right leg will never quite stop aching. Most importantly, she has lost her memory, and also trouble retaining new memories if she doesn't basically focus on learning things by heart. She didn't even remember her name when she woke up, and she picked Andromache out of an old story she liked, but now mostly goes by Andy- even though her old identity has at some point been found out, and a different name entirely is on her passport.
She meets Quỳnh in a support group for disabled people that her docs told her to go to and that she feels constantly out of place in. Quỳnh is recovering from a bad illness or accident, she doesn't want to talk about it much, but she used to be an acrobat and now she is too weak to even walk far without a wheelchair. At first, Andy is torn between pitying Quỳnh for losing that when she herself can physically do most things again even if they do cause her pain, and resenting her because at least she still remembers her past, and once she does recover she will be entirely the same person, not the shadow of her former self that Andromache often feels like!
But then they actually get to know each other, bond over snarky comments and liking horses as well as action movies with actual storylines instead of solely explosions, and Quỳnh helps Andromache learn Vietnamese- which she does as a memory training technique, though she has to admit to herself that it being this language in particular is mostly for Quỳnh. And it's good, some days are still bad for each of them, Quynh having physical relapses and Andy going through depressive episodes, but they help each other through it all, they start seeing each other outside the support group too, sometimes, and it's wonderful, even, Andromache wants to ask Quỳnh on a date next week-
But Quỳnh never shows up to the session, and neither does she answer her phone.
Nobody knows anything, the therapists and doctors won't tell her anything, 'patient confidentiality, sorry, I know you are her friend', and Andy curses herself for not having asked out Quỳnh sooner, maybe having been added to her file as a contact... Now the only thing she can do is wait.
And wait.
Because Quỳnh doesn't show up to the next group session, nor the one after that. And Andy's not stupid, okay? She knows Quỳnh still had relapses, and she is well aware that she actually has no idea what kind of illness or injury Quỳnh even /had/, so what if- what if-
Sometimes, she hopes that Quỳnh just moved on and forgot about her and is completely fine somewhere else, wherever she is now.
Other times, she cries into her pillow because she feels abandoned, by fate, by Quỳnh herself, by her own memory because she can barely remember the way Quỳnh smiled anymore.
~
& I'm incapable of writing unhappy endings so if I were to write this into a proper fic they'd get together in the enddd, however as already stated above I don't have the time... still, if sb does write that, Happy Ending pretty plsss?
Some ideas for your consideration:
- Quỳnh was in a coma, wakes up again and goes looking for Andy
- She relapsed and had to be taken to a special clinic out of the country where also no phones are allowed as the signal could fuck with medical equipement
- Quỳnh had a final dangerous surgery and didn't want to tell Andy because there's a good chance she will die in it
(& the next one's my fav, if possible in combi with the last one)
- Andy goes volunteering at a hospital or sth bc she feels the need to pay back & also figure out what she wants to do in her new life, then finds out one of her patients is Quỳnh, who's in a coma! She is shocked, but glad to finally know what's going on and even more so to learn that she might still wake up alright, talks to her on her shifts and sometimes stays longer just to stay at her bedside.
She talks about everything and anything, from books over support group gossip and the weather to personal things like how she misses Quỳnh, how abandoned she had felt by her and how sorry she now is for these thoughts and how much she hopes that Quỳnh is going to wake up... and that she loves her, she really loves her, even though they had never even gone on a date. The last part she only ever whispers, half afraid that Quỳnh is able to hear her, yet desperately hoping that she does.
Of course Quỳnh does wake up, and she remembers every word <3
Feel free to reblog!
