false pretenses is now a series of loosely connected smutty one shots in which I rewrite some of their encounters but (surprise) they have sex! (shock, gasp) kind of curious to explore how their dynamic would change a bit but stay fundamentally the same if they'd ~accidentally~ started partaking of the other's body very early on and then found they never really wanted to stop...but then there's the danger and the increasing feelings and the angst of not being able to do it outright - so they always bend the rules, and pretend...
[the two oneshots I've written so far are vive la révolution / 1793 french revolution and chocolates, honey / 1800 bookshop opening]
Your main character has a top secret job that they have to travel a lot for - when asked by their date why they had to leave in a hurry, in a panic they said it's because they're actually poly/ in an open relationship and have to go home to their partner. They don't expect to get a second date after that, but lo and behold actually the date calls back and over time they get into a mostly long-distance relationship - in which the lies about their 'other relationship' quickly pile up...
Now the date wants to meet the other partner, maybe because the main character made them seem much too nice - and now they have to pretend to be in a relationship with their co-worker....
Please @ me if anybody writes this, no matter the fandom!
David did actually state in several interviews over the years that he had his tattoo done using traditional methods with a sharpened wooden stick. Hmm, it doesn't look like a wooden stick to me. Maybe it was partially done using both methods?
David: "The tattoo on the back of my leg was done in Japan in, I think, 1991, as a confirmation of the love I feel for my wife and my knowledge of the power of life itself.
"I don't want to explain all of it as it has some very personal iconic references, but it does have a dolphin and a Japanese variation of the Serenity prayer among the content. I drew it myself and then had one of Japan's few tattooists ink it for me. (He also did the prayer translation into Katakana).
"As you will have realised, the dolphin has always had a real significance for me. The dolphin reference came from a book I had read many, many years ago called 'A Grave For A Dolphin'. A young European traveller finds himself stranded in an African village situated near the sea. By day he befriends a dolphin, and at night falls in love with a beautiful, but elusive girl who, he presumes, comes from the village. In short, the girl disappears one night and the next morning he finds the dolphin has dragged itself across the sand and up to his hut to peacefully die.
"I found the story so very beautiful that it stayed with me all of my life. Shortly after Iman and I met, I was flabbergasted one day when she told me, "Hey, I've been sent a script for this beautiful story called 'A Grave For A Dolphin'. They want me to play a native girl and they want you to play the European guy who falls in love with her! I told her how much that book had meant to me and how it had partially inspired "Heroes". Where do they want to shoot it? I asked. Well, it looks like it'll be in the Seychelles, but if there hadn't been so much fighting they would have preferred the original location. The book, apparently all takes place on the coast of... Somalia.
For one reason or another, the film never got off the ground, but four or five years later I managed to track down a first edition and gave it to my love as a birthday present.
not sure what my weekend plans should be. i would like to dedicate this 3 day weekend to an honorable cause. i would like to dedicate it to one of the following -
- binge watching breaking bad and the office
- being depressed and having a 3 day long breakdown just to get it out of my system
