ooh, "home establishment" for the WIP folder game please!

thanks for the ask! <3

this one is 100% Sad Biggles Hours, in which Biggles is in London, alone, overseeing the family house being packed up to be sold. Algy hasn't been demobbed yet so he's still in France with the rest of 266, and Biggles is, to put it mildly, not happy about it.

There had been another postcard from Wilks that morning. Biggles put it aside with the other three, and frowned at the cheerfully idyllic picture on the front: a quaint little French or Belgian town, with cobbled streets and bright awnings, photographed in some other, brighter world where it hadn't been bombed flat. God only knew where Wilks kept coming across the things. Perhaps if Biggles read them, he'd find out. But he didn't. He'd had a dozen letters from Algy - two a week, regular as clockwork, all still sealed - and one from Mahoney. Major Mahoney, as he was now. That letter had been read, and re-read, until the paper was soft and fuzzy and starting to come apart at the folds. Biggles had even replied, a single terse line that hadn't been afforded the courtesy of a response. I'd have thought you man enough to tell me to my face that you reckoned I was all washed up. The last envelope on the table - brown, official - said quite clearly that it wasn't just Mahoney who thought he wasn't fit for anything but scrap. Captain (A./Major) J. Bigglesworth, M.C., appointed to the rank of Major with effect from 11 November 1919, as confirmed in the London Gazette two weeks ago. Discharged on medical grounds due to wounds received while on active service in France, with effect from 1 January 1919.

Can you tell us more about Used to have a scene with him for the WIP ask meme? 👀

Hi! Of course. It's one of the Romeo & Juliet one. It's inspired by the Dire Straits song, that verse :

You promised me everything

You promised me thick and thin, yeah

Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah

You know I used to have a scene with him"

I have this idea of a Modern Day AU in which Jules and Romeo meet in high school when they're cast as the main leads for the school play, have a whirlwind, chaotic, maybe even not very healthy for each other romance, and then break up after graduating. And then meet again some years later, calmer, more settled in their skins, and they fell in love again. With a healthy dose of Tybalt x Mercutio, Rosaline being a badass and Benvolio being the only sensible one on the sides.

I just really love the Dire Straits song, and this idea rejoins the most recent R&J post I reblogged, the idea that if they'd survived, they would have stayed together, they would have been a solid couple. Because I agree that they could be a solid couple, but not when they first meet. In their canon ages, they're 14 and 16, Romeo recites poetry like that's his job and falls in aesthete love with beauty but doesn't know how to see it clearly, and Juliet feels trapped in her life, in her role, in her family, forced to cover her fire and her rebellion with docile manners. Had they survived the fake suicide plot, they would have been too volatile to hold on to each other. But if you give them freedom to grow into their own selves, away from the toxicity of their city and their families, that's when they can turn into that couple that reads each other's minds, balances each other's qualities and defaults, and dies together at 99 years old in their sleep at the same time with their hands clutched.

Aaaanyway. This turned into another R&J rant. Back to the WIP. That whole thing is what I want to explore in a modern setting. I haven't written a single line for it yet. But it already lives in my mind.

Crowley invented DVD menus with annoying soundbites/video clips that play on a loop, and also coincidentally those DVD menus that are impossible to navigate, trapping you on the menu screen for an indefinite amount of time.

Don’t. I’m getting flashbacks to my childhood sleepovers
