Who needs dignity 'cause this is so much better

Sarah, 31, Belgium. Solidarity and intersectionality. Passionate about human rights. Fascinated by stories. Black Sails, Discworld, TAZ Balance and Pride (2014) helped form my soul. Currently wildly obsessed with ALOTO (2022), mostly Jess and Lupe. Also very into assorted unhinged queer sff books. Gay for my friends, the gayest for my wife. Mom to a toddler and a stillborn baby.

Lupe García/Jess McCready

Rating: Explicit

Chapter 1: I'm not going to pretend (that I'm the kind of girl you'd call more than a friend) (5106 words)

Jess and Lupe know too well how the world looks at people like them. But then they meet, and they see each other.

This is an exploration of Jess’ and Lupe’s relationship throughout Season 1, as they become friends, get wildly horny for each other, fall in love, and finally do something about it. This fic is as canon compliant as humanly possible, and is built out of a mix of scenes from the show told from their perspectives, expanded upon background moments, and plenty of missing scenes.

(This fic is already fully written. It consists of 11 chapters, totalling up to about 60k words. I will be posting one chapter a day.)

Lupe García is the craziest thing to have happened in all of television history

[milkteamoon]

I think one of Gideon's funniest moments is when she learns that Pal and Dulcie have a Thing and she's so distraught about it because she feels like a complete homewrecker. Like she just made one of her first ever friends, this weird little man whom she diagnosed as Bitchless upon first sight, and then she learns he actually does have A Single Bitch but it's the woman she's been flirting with nonstop since she got there. So naturally her reaction is to start mourning for him because literally, how was her new bestie The Most Bitchless Man Alive ever supposed to compete with her

Writing smut and writing fight scenes are two sides of the same coin: without emotional depth, either becomes nothing more than a bland technical dissertation on which body part goes where.

[talaricula]

Has anyone made a gifset of the parallel between Jess holding up her beer bottle in her "to Lu, my hermano" toast and her holding up the Coke bottles during the forever famous "I said I needed to get something to fix it. I did" scene? Just. Jess and using drink bottles to tell Lupe "I may not always understand everything but I want to be here for you". It is v dear to me.

Prompt: un meup

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Pairing: Lupe García/Jess McCready

Rating: Teen and up

Words: 1522

Jess and Lupe build a chicken coop. That's it — that's the fic.

(for context, "un meup" is how our toddler pronounces "un œuf" (an egg) — Lilou was being unserious but I yes and'ed her ;p)

imagine you're an actor on black sails. you're just some random dude from australia or america doing shitty acting jobs (or royalty/maggie smiths son). then you get a part in this big pirate show. you get dumped in south africa and you're kind of just stuck there for four years. you spend it obsessively rehearsing and delivering the best performances of any of your lives in arguably one of the craziest stories ever told. then afterwards you go back to america or australia or england and for the rest of your life play side characters in like. The Flash and Umbrella Academy. or narrate pirate smut audiobooks. Crazy

I've got a fic in progress and a couple on the back burner but they're all the kind I need to revisit the source material for (read: rewatch aloto while taking so many notes, maybe reread some Discworld though still unsure) and I wanna write a few easier faster things, also to get myself used to writing shorter, less hyper detailed scenes again (in particular for smut, which is getting Out Of Hand), maybe with sprint writing bc I actually rly like some of the fics I wrote that way, so I was wondering: if I opened up my askbox for prompts, would anyone be interested?

Prompts y/n? (read parametres below perhaps)

yes

no

Voting ended onMay 30

Parameters: ships and fandoms can be Jesslupe/aloto (can do jobelle and platonic relationships involving Jess and Lu too), maybe some tlt (mostly griddlehark but I'm open to many things), the pitt yuri (mostly Mel, Trinity and Parker, but who knows maybe I'd do smth else), black sails? (depending if it's smth I feel I can do justice), tonker/lofty from monstrous regiment, maybe jethin (pride 2014), potentially (fem!)hollanov for my beautiful wife, may be open to other ships or fandoms I blog about but I make no promises; length prob up to 2000 words; no guarantee that I'll manage to write it given the Everything but I'll try my best; smut okay and I'm open to writing many kinks, will let you know if I don't think it's a kink I can write; non smut also v much okay!

[talaricula]

Okay, officially considering prompts open! I already got three, plus two (and a half 😂) from my wife, so I'll close prompts if I feel I have too much, but rn i can still take a few!

[kenshitty]

can i get a fucking ETA on “this too shall pass”?
