tom in [redacted] ?? May I enquire what redacted is? 👁️👁️
you absolutely may! okay so. [redacted] is a funnier way to refer to one of sam/tom WIPs, which is yet to be titled, and it's also mildly appropriate given its also reference to the amount of deception scam are involved in, somewhat unwillingly, and thus live up to their portmanteau of a ship name.
horrendous jokes aside, this fic is likely going to be, less of an au bc it is set in modern society, but it does incorporate fake dating/fake marriage/fake relationship because I enjoy putting tom into moral dilemmas. The age thing. The overall matrimony thing. you know. Sam "committed to thr bit" Denby and Tom "give the audience what they want" Scott ending up in the middle of A situation.
Somehow, this also takes place, at least partially, in a fictional future season of jet lag, and was partially inspired by the. Deutsche Bahn? It makes a lot more sense in my head that I cannot explain without giving away like. big chunks of the fic itself. The fictional season of jet lag is, of course, a game that I am designing the broad strokes of, plus figuring out the basics of an internal game economy based on my knowledge of the standard they usually do which I can now guess at from my watching, so I can reference this system in my fic. I am not good at plot but I CAN FIGURE OUT INTERESTING NARRATIVE GAME SHOW ARCS AND PATTERN RECOGNITION which. close enough. Tom is yearning and having A Time and so is Sam but in a different way and with more hero worship. I think I have proved I've lost my mind a lot more than may appear. Thank you if you've read this far. that's what [redacted] means.
