hello. mattlight meet-ugly (matt beat light at a hackathon)

yuri mattlight possibilities

college roommates (classic) -- Light is actually sort of excited to discover that her roommate is a rumored lesbian. It's just unusual, isn't it, and that's what college is all about, right? Having new experiences. Expanding one's worldview. Light isn't necessarily interested in expanding her worldview, generally, but this is sort of different. She isn't going to waste time trying to describe how it's different; it just is.

honestly? tattoo parlor x flower shop AU would be fun in either direction. Matt could be the tattoo artist OR she could be the florist who keeps going to get new piercings and tattoos at an unreasonable frequency to chat up an oddly uptight but extremely talented artist who works there.

sorry that might actually be all I got

Prompt mattlight Halloween party owo

MATTLIGHT omg thank you i think about these two constantly.

Light was very good at parties. They involved all of his major skills -- remembering names, being witty, maintaining the exact right level of emotional intimacy with people he vaguely knew and might need to use in the future.

Years ago, he had decided that all of this meant he liked parties. He simply chose not to attend them whenever possible because he had a busy life. He had responsibilities. There were things to do.

He was standing in this particular one, backed up against a wall and wearing a cowboy hat he'd bought at Party City on the way here, when he'd come to the conclusion that showing up without a costume would not in fact be fine, as Matt had previously told him, but would instead be taken as arrogance or stupidity or both. (He'd explained this very calmly and rationally to Matt, who had pulled the car over so Light could calmly and rationally hyperventilate.) The lights were dim, and there were bodies all around; everyone was talking at what he felt was a frankly inappropriate volume. Surely it would make anyone feel like there was static crawling all over their limbs.

His heart felt very quick. He was starting to wonder if he was having some sort of cardiac event which would necessitate him leaving this horrible claustrophobic room when a body knocked against him.

He startled, and looked up, ready to shove away whatever drunk idiot had crashed into him, then stopped. It was Matt, grinning up at him. He was wearing cat ears. They had little bells on them. He had bought them from Party City, too. "Hey," said Matt. "I checked upstairs. The bedrooms are all empty and I'm feeling naughty." He put an ironic little twist into this word. "Do you want to sneak away and ..." Matt trailed off, then reached into the gigantic pocket of his vest. Light watched as he pulled out his Switch. "God," Light said. "Yes. Please." He took Matt's arm, and let himself be led away.

I wrote a prequel to the LightMatt fic I wrote yesterday, Still not my best work but I wanted to write something wholesome for one of my favorite ships. This is also another addition to DNRarepairWeek25 @dnrarepairweek

“Do you still remember how to ride?”

“Do you?”

Light hasn’t sat on a horse in five years. Matt lives in Palo Alto. Neither of them have any business running a guest ranch in northern Montana.

—

“It’s not like any guests are coming.” Matt takes a vape stick out of his pocket, barely noticing Light’s turnt lip.

“There are six horses to feed.”

“They eat grass, Light.”

“It’s Montana.”

“I ordered a hay shipment yesterday.”

“Can you trim their feet? Are you going to fill their water every day? Muck their stall? Pick the horse crap out of their paddocks?”

“No, we are.” Matt smiles. White teeth. Straight. American.

hope you feel better soon and for the words: star, bunny, table

thank you!! honestly the illness took me the fuck OUT for a few days but i have (mostly) recovered :3c these are very fun ty <3

star [from ch14 of bury us both]

The streets of [REDACTED] are hazy with fog. Overhead the dark sky looms, starless and moonless. In the background there is the sound of tires on pavement and the rush of air past the vehicle, plus the low mumble of the radio, running through news stories and advertisements in an endless, hushed loop. Near stares out the back-seat window of the rental car, registering all of this faintly, as if she is watching herself from very far away.

bunny [from lucky rabbit (working title)]

This is why, when he comes in to work on Halloween and finds Near at his desk, wearing a pair of bunny ears, his first reaction is abject panic (tinged with unfortunate arousal). He freezes two feet from the entry door, staring, trying to figure out whether to treat this as a deliberate provocation or to assume that the costume is a very unlucky coincidence.

table [from TENNIS (alleged mattlight WIP working title)]

“Well played,” Light says, setting down his remote. “You kicked my ass.” Matt grins, and tosses his own onto the scratched-up IKEA coffee table that sits in front of the TV in his dorm. “Less than usual, though.”

[alarici]

as opposed to horse girl near, horse girl matt matches the energy of a 30 year old pasture pet (chill, a little zooted? google can horses get high?) and poor bitch light is sent away to be a summer camp counselor in uh. ohio and hits it off with the only other bitch (matt) he /thinks/ as a more-than-10-points-above-lukewarm IQ in the entire establishment and gets over his fear of horses and maybe learns to chill out and indulge the good boy failglrl inside us all before going to university back home

& its a very sepia colored thing with golden sunsets and fireflies and jumping into the lake and campfire songs and euthanizing a lame filly and crashing go karts and getting a little brazen with a childrens' bow and arrow and someone snuck their gameboy into their bunk

light is kind of awful with middle schoolers and kind of insecure about stuff and things (the children smell weakness) and kind of jealous of how easygoing matt is and yeah. matt goes to ohio state and they don't keep in touch bc "you got into cal tech but you chose to go to State School" and matt gets a girlfriend but Light is Saved (for now)
