@flightsofwonder tagged me for Wip Wednesday. Thank you!

Instead of either of my bingo prompts (or my other wips 🙈) I’m writing another joe x Nicky fic about memories based on a comment ramble

“How could you forget the goats? They escaped their pen while we were busy kissing and we spent an hour rounding them up before we could escape into the shed to continue.”

Yusuf listens to this with incredulity. “My heart. No. We were in the loft throwing more feed down for the cows and you tripped and almost fell. When we landed in the hay—”

“Dearest,” Nicolò interrupts. “Most beloved,” he says. He sounds as if he is gritting his teeth. “I am sorry to say that your age must be catching up to you, because that was not our first kiss.”

It was. Yusuf can remember it perfectly. He had said—what had he said?—and Nicolò had laughed and overbalanced, nearly falling. Then…here it is a little less clear, but they had both ended up lying in the hay, and he definitely remembers the noise in Nicolò’s throat when Yusuf had kissed him. Or had Nicolò kissed him?

Tagging anyone who feels like it! (I just tagged people a couple days ago but tag me if you do share your wip!) (and @boutiquetraveltravelboutique 😂)

Any version(s) of hond you’d like

Bless you Reid :')

1996 Disney film:

I cannot in good conscience call it a masterpiece because some scenes *cough* anything with the gargoyles *cough* are just...bad, but individual scenes and tracks in this absolutely fit the bill. The “Hellfire” sequence is one of THE most powerful animated scenes of all time (domino meme: my babysitter shows me this movie and “Hellfire” lurks in my subconscious for years —> I get a whole-ass French degree).

1998 French stage musical (my beloved):

You'd better believe I know every single word of this. Also I can't get over the fact that sometimes they just? sang “Belle” on national television??? “Le Temps des Cathédrales”, understandable, but “Belle”? Are you SURE?? (It IS an absolute bop but like...oh my god.) I showed this musical to someone new a few weeks ago and felt EXTREMELY validated when they immediately zeroed in on how hot Bruno Pelletier is in this.

Der Glöckner von Notre Dame (German Disney stage version)

I've never watched the old boots of this but I own the CD and I LOVE it. German “Esmeralda” hits DIFFERENT. Drew Sarich my beloved. God I wish we'd gotten Steve Barton as Frollo, could you IMAGINE

English Disney stage version (DGVND Remastered™)

Disney finally distilled their version of Hunchback into something truly special. Ironically, “Hellfire” is much less effective here, but the other numbers MORE than make up for it. CIARA RENÉE MY BELOVED, also Patrick Page, hot DAMN. But it is Michael Arden's Quasimodo that truly elevates this show into a masterpiece. I love the narrative changes made from the original Disney film and I was so glad when they FINALLY managed to rid themselves of the gargoyles in favor of the Bells; what a fantastic concept! Gahhh I love this show and were I not at work I would be listening to this soundtrack right now.

Oh boy okay what other versions have I seen?? It's been YEARS since I sought these out. Uhhhhh

1956 French/English film (Gina Lollobrigida, Anthony Quinn, Alain Cuny)

I remember liking this one at the time?? I think I was particularly impressed by Cuny's Frollo but I'd have to rewatch it to be sure. I watched this long before I saw LoA and many other classic films so it'd be fun to rewatch and see Anthony Quinn in this role since I remember very little about his performance.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (Electric Boogaloo)

why.

Uhhhh I remember liking a few songs from the Dennis DeYoung musical but I never saw/listened to the whole thing. I know I've seen a few others but I'm blanking.

the grounding of a foot uncompromising

In which Joe is the one who goes to retrieve Nile. 14,000 words, rated M for canon-typical violence, language, and injuries. Suggested listening here.

Oh, she’s had it. “You’re fucking with me,” Nile says. “I did die, and this is Hell, riding around Afghanistan being grilled about my past sins by some shitty Virgil.”

“You can call me Joe.”

“What do you and the others do, Joe?”

“Depends on the century,” he shrugs.

“Professional kidnappers?”

Joe shows his teeth. “It’s very cute that you think this is professional.”

“No, but maybe the others know what they’re doing.” A flash of irritation cracks his chummy facade. She wonders if he has any shame she can jab. Fighters and soldiers, he said. “Are you mercenaries?”

“It’s a little more complex than that.”

“Sure,” she says. “Whatever you need to tell yourself. How many people have you killed? Just averaged, across the centuries.”

His mouth twists. “Maybe Hell is riding around Afghanistan being judged by a US Marine. How many people have you killed, Freeman?”

She closes her mouth, hard. Joe doesn’t smile, but his satisfaction is palpable.

I’m not saying y’all have me to thank for introducing (reintroducing?) Jodie to the Bruce Banner fandom but you’re welcome.

#okay technically thank #flightsofwonder #since she's been doing most of the work

I was tagged by @rupzydaisy and @flightsofwonder for the wip game/wip Wednesday. The last two lines from the modern/magic au I’m attempting, since I was tagged twice:

“Seriously?” Joe grumbles, shaking his head and wrestling the reluctant door open, tossing the business card into the trash as he goes.

The next morning the card is notably not in the trash can where it belongs, but stuck under the strawberry-shaped magnet on the refrigerator.

ETA: Whoops forgot to tag anyone 😂

If you want to: @hauntedfalcon @boutiquetraveltravelboutique @fadagaski and anyone working on a joe bingo prompt, I would like to see it 🥰
