Devastated over the fact that I will not get to see Nosferatu in theaters because I don't want to watch a full frontal scene with both my parents

I love a good Michael/David, it's a classic, but something about Dwayne/Michael makes my brain go brrrrrrrr

mutuals can always dm me but be warned i talk like your coworker who is trying too hard to get to know you and my response times are akin to the response times you might get if we were communicating by letter

I like to imagine Hannibal sitting at his fancy desk reading through online recipe blogs and getting irritated at the long stories they always post before the actual recipe

Hey, It's the Dwayne/Michael anon again. I'm curious...what do you imagine the dynamic to be between these two? As in, who makes the first move? Who's the most assertive/dominant in the relationship? Who confesses their feelings first? etc etc. And how did you think up this ship? Sorry if it's too many questions, it's just that you've gotten me hooked on these two lol

ooooooo anon, welcome back! I love these questions but I am going to be so honest with you that prior to seeing this ask I had not thought this hard about the ship. I have been going purely based off vibes and the gut feeling that those two ppl need to be kissing posthaste. That being said, I love this ask bc it made me actually sit down and think about the way I view these two as both characters and as a couple so here are my new answers: 1. Whenever I think of the two of them the ship dynamic that comes to mind is "silent and stoic x perpetually confused". At the same time though, I think Dwayne is an instigator who will nudge Paul and Marko with little comments and then sit back and watch the drama unfold. Meanwhile I feel like when it comes to the vamps, Michael doesn't really know what's going on but he keeps managing to get himself wrapped up in their shit. He likes to instigate as much as Dwayne does but he's not smooth enough with it to not be dragged along and also his big brother instincts kick in sometimes and he feels like he should back them up. Only sometimes though. Other times he's perfectly happy to sit back with Dwayne and laugh at the others. 2. I think that Dwayne would flirt with Michael first, but once Michael registers that this man is flirting with him he's 100% committing to it and will flirt harder than Dwayne. Dwayne has been around Santa Carla for a while and is like... Apex Predator Mode so I think he wouldn't be afraid to flirt with someone who catches his eye. Meanwhile Michael is new to town, probably not going to be making any moves on strangers straight off the bat yk. But once Dwayne opens that door Michael is fully tossing himself through it. 3. I have so many different Dwayne/Michael stories swirling around in my mind right now that I can't for sure say who I think would definitively always be the one to confess first, but I have imagined the different ways they would do it. I think Dwayne would do his best to use his actions rather than his words, acts of service/physical touch stuff first. He would give Michael special treatment ie. always buys him food on the boardwalk, give him first dibs on anything he wants, always finds excuses to be close to Michael and have his hands on him in some way whether that's fixing the collar of his jacket or just resting his hand over Michael's shoulder while they're standing around. If he HAS to verbally say it I think it would be quiet. Something short and straight to the point while also being flirty, smting like "You know you drive me crazy" or smthing while being all up in Michael's personal space. Meanwhile, with Michael I think he would also do the whole physical touch thing, but less consciously. He starts gravitating to Dwayne without even noticing - parks his bike next to him, sits with him on the couch, always looks to Dwayne first when one of the other guys makes a crazy suggestion to see what Dwayne thinks. I think that whenever Michael does verbally confess it would be big, and somewhat aggressive. Fists full of Dwayne's jacket while his voice is raised talking about how he felt watching someone else put their hands on him, sloppy kisses, that sort of thing. I like to picture the level of emotion that Michael had in the movie when he confronted David on the boardwalk with the whole "where's Starr?" thing. But because he's Michael I think he wouldn't even realize that he liked Dwayne like that until that big explosion. TBH, I'm not really sure where this ship came from. I feel like with TLB there's only so many ships you can do that involve Michael and the vamps. I've read a bunch of stuff on Ao3 and the most common ships I see are David/Michael, David/Starr, Michael/Starr, and poly vamps+michael. I love rare pairs and Dwayne is my favorite character so one day I was just kinda like... what if.....????? and started writing about the two of them together. Thank you for this ask! I have so many more ideas for Dwayne/Michael stuff now that I have to go write down somewhere

A snippit of the eventual Steter fic I just posted the first chapter of

Chapter 1 is Posted Here :)

He’s not quite sure what made him start coming to visit Peter Hale back before his freshman year of high school. Perhaps it was loneliness, he had Scott but even they can’t spend 24/7 together. Not every parent copes through work like Stiles’ dad did (does) and Melissa McCall expected to spend time with her son. That left a lot of free time on Stiles’ hands, especially when that summer break hit. He couldn’t drive yet but his dad had given him a bright and shiny bus pass so Stiles could get around Beacon Hills without getting into too much trouble. So maybe it was loneliness. 

Or maybe it was curiosity. Maybe this isn’t a thing good people think but Stiles couldn’t help but be curious about the state of the only person to face the Hale fire and survive… more or less. He’s not quite sure being unresponsive in a coma for 6 years can necessarily be called “surviving” but his heart’s still beating and according to doctors Peter still has brain activity so that’s as close as you can get. 

Or maybe it was the understanding. Or maybe projecting is a better word for it? Stiles couldn’t help but think about himself after his mom died every time he would think about Peter Hale laying alone in his hospital room, day after day never receiving any visitors. Stiles had been alone in the room when his mother died, he had watched her take her last breath. He had been alone after she died too, his dad too preoccupied with burying his feelings in work and whiskey to pay too much attention to Stiles who seemed to keep himself occupied most of the time. One of the most important people in his life had died and the other had basically vanished, leaving Stiles to deal with it all by himself, and the thought of Peter watching his loved ones die and then being left to deal with his wounds by himself just hurt Stiles’ heart. 

So one day that summer Stiles packed up a few books and a handful of snacks, pulled out his bus pass, and made his way to the Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital Long-Term Patient Wing. It hadn’t been hard to find Peter’s room, something that he tries not to think about too deeply. At one point he had even stopped a nurse to ask for directions, which she happily provided without asking any questions before going on her way. But Stiles found the room, introduced himself, started talking and basically didn’t stop for 6 years.

So real and so agonizing. Me with everything I'm writing rn

when you get an idea for a fic but you know you’re going to have to really take your time with it in order to properly capture all the little details and plot points and themes you want to convey, but also you’re an impatient bitch who wants to write out and read that fun story in your head right fuckin’ now

A snippet from what I've already written: -

That brought everything to a halt. Michael swore he even felt his heart pause for a moment before blood rushed up to his face. “It’s expensive. I can’t let you do that.”

Dwayne only shrugged, lightly tugging the jacket from Michael’s hands into his own, leaning over to whisper in his ear, “The little one likes to pickpocket tourists. We have plenty of money to spare.” 

Once he deemed Michael wouldn’t protest again the man stood back to full height, grinning at the stunned boy before walking off towards the register. Michael followed along, barely realizing he was moving as he wondered if the “little one” was the child he’d seen with the men the day before or the short blonde. Ultimately he decided he didn’t need or really want to know, and moved to stop Dwayne. He only got as far as reaching out and beginning to tug on the brunet’s arm before realizing the money had already been passed over to the cashier. 

Michael flushed again, quickly dropping his hand. Dwayne looked at him over his shoulder, that same predatory grin from the night before returning to his face before he turned and placed the jacket over Michael’s shoulder. 

“I didn’t know people could blush so much. It’s cute.”

His words only caused Michael to blush more, the boy sure that if he blushed anymore he would burst a vessel in his face and wouldn’t that be just the perfect thing for Sam to make fun of him for.

I have a Dwayne/Michael fic that's been rattling around in my brain like its a pinball machine for like a year but I just can't figure out a plot other than "michael is flustered and dwayne likes making him blush and then they kiss at the end"
