I'm having so much fun, people.

This is Ten Second Tidy by Somethingmoresubtle, one of my favorite post s2 trephacard fics mostly for its complete irreverence and willingness to lean into the absurdity of three idiots cleaning Dracula's Castle all on their own, while also being entirely sincere and genuine in the emotional bits.

Wooqu purple bookcloth, cover paper from local art store, gold metal HTV. Printed on French parchtone white in 80lb text weight, though I think they may have mislabeled the grain direction 😬 Cover font is Good Dog Plain, body text in High Tower Text, title headers and drop caps in Manuscript. Chapter header is just a screencap from the show put through infinite Photoshop filters. Hand wound headbands. Typeset in Word.

Ten Second Tidy Chapter 6

Excerpt:

There is a guilty silence. “Um. First off. I need you to understand this isn’t my fault. And also, like, to stand up for me when Young Master Tepes tries to disembowel me like he said he would if anything like this happened.”

chapter excerpt:

The door opens silently, which she privately thinks of as a lesser vampire magic. Alucard is wearing, to her complete and utter lack of surprise, a ridiculous nightshirt. And an expression one might categorize as genteel panic. “Sypha, what-”

“Move.” She barrels her way in. No quarter. She is sleeping tonight or she will cut someone. “Your stupid hallways are freezing and I’d hate for you to catch cold, what with your very open-chested nightgown.”

okay so like, yes, abandoned pets, very good, but does this fandom have ANY characters being turned into animal fic yet at all ??????? where is the TROPE.

Tomas:

Tomas : oh no

Tomas: marcus I left for five minutes

Tomas: marcus I liked that sweater. I left for five minutes and you destroyed it even though I got you that very nice scratching post from goodwill. this feels petty.

marcus, a cat, definitely petty, laying on the shredded corpse of a sweater that made Tomas look too soft, too touchable, made eyes linger and strangers brush against him and linger: mrowl

exorcist fic I will probably unfortunately write, as follows:

Marcus gets a kitten and Tomas is dying. that’s it. that’s the whole story. ohhhh no he’s stolen Tomas reading glasses and is typing terribly on a computer abt how to feed a kitten that young and its dwarfed in his hands and Tomas has to go lie down for a while because it’s so much ohhhhh nooooooo

 There’s the dull roar of crowded public places as soon as the door swings open, bringing with it a blast of AC chilled air and the smell of coffee. Marcus gets in line, and orders something that sounds agreeable, iced, in deference to the sunburn that is bound to be a right pain in the ass sooner rather than later. When he’s picked up his drink, he’s startled to see Verity is behind him, with a grin he’d call dangerous. “Hey, Father Hotass. Come sit with us.”

exorcist fic I will probably unfortunately write, as follows:

Marcus gets a kitten and Tomas is dying. that's it. that's the whole story. ohhhh no he's stolen Tomas reading glasses and is typing terribly on a computer abt how to feed a kitten that young and its dwarfed in his hands and Tomas has to go lie down for a while because it's so much ohhhhh nooooooo

I don’t know how to do this without you.

[alittlequieter]

Exorcist fic I probably will not write because when when when would I do it, but AU where Tomas is a new doctor at a catholic hospital who is Going Places and he has occasional clashes with long-time float nurse Marcus whose has about 40 years of nursing experience (“that would mean he started nursing at twelve,” Tomas points out to the admin who tells him this, and the admin shrugs like, “yeah that sounds right”)

Marcus has been doing this for longer than Tomas has been alive, he appreciates Tomas offering his opinion on his patients but Marcus has got it. And Tomas graduated top of his class from medical school and is so far past Marcus on the cutting edge of science by sheer dint of owning a smart phone. (He watches Marcus in the cafeteria at some point, squinting through reading glasses down at his flip phone and painstakingly constructing a text for 15 minutes, and Tomas has to physically refrain himself from buying this man a new phone.)
