Please don't believe what you just read.
I reread a chapter of IALS randomly (like one does) and had some thoughts. It was a David-centric chapter and the angst was delicious, so lemme share with the class :)
i like this line very much
my guy manifested a little too hard oops?
proof that lance gets his dry humour from his papa!!
this is so sad wtf
THIS IS EVEN SADDER. Also, answer to people who have asked me before why David didn't run away when he was much younger ^^ I think he would've tried, but Albert would've caught him for sure
FIRST OF ALL THIS BITCH KILLED CHOPIN IN IALS NEVER FORGET!!!!!! Also i noticed in this fic we never actually 'hear' from Albert and he has no dialogue but ever mention of him/every scene he is in is so fucked up and i like that writing device a lot ngl
my poor guy :(
10/10 line wow okay
Max's growth re hating the show so much to making jokes about it, i am so emo
pain, that's it.
lance please go be a bitch to someone else. this man is going through it (but i support you still ily)
I love the malec parenting dynamics in IALS. I was writing it at the same time as TLND (and LBAF), so it was very interesting to write :)
I recently reread IALS. And now I'm thinking about the Kincaid of that AU. Will he and Arthur ever meet again? And, more generally, do you think you'll ever write more about IALS? I already miss them.
Also, I'm super hyped for the Mafia AU. I can't wait to read it <3
Sometimes I remember that IALS is the only fic I ever wrote without an outline, and it somehow turned out to be one of my faves 🥺 Always remember to step out of your comfort zones, friends!!
Arthur and Kincaid might meet. Or they might not. Who knows? Not me!
I'm not sure if I'll ever write more IALS. If I get inspo, then always!
MAFIA AU is still safely inside my head. If I ever make an outline, I will let you know x
Hope You're Well. Please Don't Read This by Lev St. Valentine x IALS Mavid
There are days where all I can do is hope to see you in the supermarket, buying parmesan and pasta.
Would be lying if I said I didn't go places just to look for you in them.
Wish you. Wish you would come back and talk for five minutes.
I promise I won't say anything. I'll just listen. Would be so thankful to just listen to you.
Went to the beach in your flannel. I'm always in your flannel now.
Waded out to the water fully dressed and pictured you coming in to stand beside me. I don't need to look to know it's you.
You don't say anything. I don't either. The water does all the talking for us.
Wish you could tell me what to do. You can be mean about it, I wouldn't mind.
Or short and sweet. Five seconds of your time.
Hope you're okay. Hope you're eating too much pasta with not enough cheese.
Hope you're happy and you never see this.
Miss you. Miss your smile. Miss that laugh.
Know I did the unforgivable thing.
Know I am wishing for something that'll never come.
But this one's for you. They're all always just for you.
Miss you. Would like to stand in the water with you. We don't have to talk.
thank you @stuckbetweenworlds-deathgodess for the inspo (and the angst) 💙
Reread Some IALS - So, Here's Some Thoughts
At this point, Max is not spending enough time with the kids. So, he doesn't understand that Lance relies on auditory cues (and that he's developed a dry sense of humour) and Lance being sad that Max laughed at Arthur's joke and not his own :( (I LOVE SUBTLE NOTES LIKE THIS)
Poor David lmao
NEVER FORGET THEIA'S MIDDLE NAME IS DIANA
Silverstone in LBAF??? McLaren in IALS??? Max Hamilton in FMF?STOP THIS, DANI!!!!
I know we give a lot of shit for Mallory in IALS (as we should) but I sometimes completely forget the whole divorce/custody battle happened because of that asshole Hunter Devlin...
"he is my son too" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love love love love Max's growth in IALS. It's genuinely one of my favourite character growths in any fic I've ever written. Alec was right when he said this...
David's book in IALS
I have absolutely no memory of writing this so I was pleasantly surprised to find bits in this chapter where we find David's descriptions of the people closest to him.
I don't know how else to explain it but...it genuinely felt like David wrote these words, not me.
Like, this is EXACTLY how he sees them and feels about them (in every story, I should say) and I'm so glad I got to write it.
So, I'm sharing it here again :)
David about Rafael
I've said it before and I'll say it again. WE NEED MORE DAVID + RAFAEL content (maybe in lbaf 👀)
David about his children
PS - This reminded me about the Never Have I Ever (both Max's and David's) and how the one thing David can't tolerate is his children getting hurt (hence why he did what he did in lbaf when the canon event happened in the Other Timeline). He always sees Max as his protector and the only time he saw himself as the protector was when he became a father, and I think that terrifies him.
David about Alec
Petition for David to tell Alec 'i love you' IMMEDIATELY
David about Magnus
Every person knowing Magnus comparing him to God...I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.
David about Jackson
The fact that they're a canon event is the only consolation. Also, this gave me Nico feels ;(
Finally, David about Max 💙
