Hi!! If you're new here, I like to do post-fic recaps in the form of DVD Commentaries as a way to reflect and honor the writing process. I usally include bonus scenes in these too, but for this "Hotline Operator Series" I will be adding in sneak peeks to the next parts instead (3 in total).

This post contains references to explicit content, mdni!

I’m always more into sound in my nsfw writing and this trope was the perfect way to have fun with that. I’m only in this game for the dirty talk tbh. If I ever write silent smut, please just assume it’s not me. 

I’m also of the mind that Rusty is a hugeeee simp and a switch. Rusty Ryan did not spend the entirety of Ocean's Twelve stalking his ex girlfriend, and trying to look as submissive and slutty around her as possible, for this side of him to be erased. Whenever Isabel spoke, that man’s pupils were dilated, he could barely blink, and he wasn’t listening to a single word she said... that’s my type fr

That being said, this one was superrrr self-indulgent. I wasn’t sure how a more submissive Rusty would go over but I’m glad it was well received! Kind of a pet peeve of mine when people strictly associate submissiveness with femininity. I think the hottest thing a masc presenting person can do is trust their partner enough to give up some control. 

I also had so much fun with the dialogue on this one. I think Rusty's got a very specific way of speaking that's almost rhythmic? It's the way his tone fluctuates, almost like it's going up and down a scale. He talks very fluidly despite how sarcastic and biting his words tend to be. I love that contrast about him.

Also, I stay keeping reader with a job LOL all of my OG ideas have reader working as a plot point, and my requests don't have that element to them. I think that's so funny.

Only one reference this time: when reader describes the dream she had last night, she's referring to the plot of Thelma & Louise.

*Fun fact: when I was writing this, I ended up having a weird dream featuring Brad Pitt, Abby Lee Miller from Dance Moms, and my childhood crush from the first grade in which we put on a stage play. my first grade crush followed me on Insta the next day.

"There's not many women reachable at 2am."

"Practically married."

Thank you to everyone who liked, commented, or reblogged this fic!! Your responses have the ability to make my day, and I'm so glad I'm able to share my love for Rusty and Ocean's Eleven here with all of you. It's a small fandom but your love is so big.

Part II to "Stress Relief" is called “Pillow Princess” and will be on the opposite side of the control spectrum. I’m referring to these works as the “Hotline Operator Series” for categorization so you’ll see that updated on my Masterlist and the individual works themselves. As promised, it'll be up tomorrow evening <3

“Aww,” Rusty sympathizes—but his tone couldn’t be any less genuine. “C’mon, I know you can take it.”  You whimper as your hips buck against your toy. “I can take it,” you say breathlessly—and it’s supposed to be defiant. But the words come out slurred and thick with lust, like a mantra, and all that does is make your head spin and your face hot.  “I can’t,” Rusty says, groaning as shuffling fills his side of the line. “When you sound like this, I can’t. I can’t even think.”

I have a tradition where I usually give and explain 10 things I liked about my newest work whenever I post a fic, so I figured I’d carry on a version of that post-fic recap tradition here in a new structure. I'm still workshopping this so expect to see changes as it evolves! (this post contains references to sexual content, mdni!)

Linus so would ask Rusty for sex advice

All of my fics are gonna end up being about bars and cars, aren’t they? (Probably. Stay tuned).

I didn’t know James Bond had so many signature drinks, are we sure he just isn’t an alcoholic? 

My baby’s an eater 🙂‍↕️ there is a criminal lack of eater!Rusty and I plan on changing that, one fic at a time.

The optics of Rusty tipping reader before the sex aren’t great and neither is the hotel one night stand thing tbh, but let’s just ignore that… let’s focus on how tipping someone $100 in the early 2000s would’ve been a very big deal.

I took inspo from a scene in Se7en (1995) where Brad Pitt’s character says “haha, laugh it up.” David Mills would be one of my favorite characters of his if I could stomach to watch that movie again. (Great movie. Just horrifying and sticks with me too much after it’s over).

The “yes ma’am” was a fully self indulgent Thelma & Louise (1991) reference. Come to think of it, the kiss over cotton could be a reference here too.

I wanted to reference the car sex scene in Kalifornia (1993) where Adele keeps calling Early’s name and Early laughs and says “what?” But that’s much harder to do when mouths are occupied and having Rusty pull away broke the tension of the scene so rip. Maybe another time.

I listened to Isaiah Rashad's new album, IT'S BEEN AWFUL on repeat while writing this. I really love the song "BOY IN RED" featuring SZA.

Thank you for the love on this fic so far! I have a few more in the works. I’ll try to get a shorter one out soon 🩵

“You’ve been here before,” Rusty said, more of a statement as he watched you skim the back of the diner menu. The inside of the diner was as empty as the outside—which was a good thing considering what’d just transpired in the parking lot. 

“Of course,” you said. You didn’t bother to look up as you flipped the menu over and slid it toward the edge of the counter. “Delilah makes the best pancakes.” 

Rusty studied you for a moment. Your hair was smushed, your dress was slightly askew, and your skin was dewey with afterglow. Hazy pleasure still swam in your eyes, and satisfied exhaustion covered you like a blanket.

Despite all of that, you still looked as pretty as you did behind the bar. 

Rusty’s smile grew at the thought. 

“They’re decent,” he said as he went back to flipping through his own menu. “You taste better.”
