Yello! I thought I’d post a fanfic I wrote for the R&M fandom a while ago, so if you like darkness and angst and tension, there you go! It's based on the "I do childproofing stuff while you're asleep." line :)

Ch.1

Morty pushes the black smoke out between parted lips as his stomach muscles contract. He is on his feet with barely any effort at all, though sways as he raises his head to his full height. As the train of black smoke from his lungs dissolves into the oxygen-poor atmosphere, he glances over to Rick. He sits with his back to Morty, on top of a jagged rock nearby, knees drawn up to his chest. He was perched much like a crow.

Even across the distance that had been so deliberately put there, Morty sees the last of the smoke’s fingers reaching out, wanting to take something, shortly before dissolving by Rick’s blue tips.

The submucosal chip that is bulking in the back of Morty’s throat must not be working right, again, because Rick keeps blurring in tune with the beat of his heart while his fingers and toes keep tingling. There isn’t enough oxygen here for a human.

Originally, the piece of tech was a part of Rick’s childproofing-initiative, though no other device in that bracket — in Morty’s body — had been as prone to faults as this bitch and a half.

He remembered how he woke up in his bed on a school morning and felt like he’d had his tonsils taken out all over again. His throat had burned and the lingering taste of blood had soaked into his tongue and teeth. Morty remembered running straight to the garage, one hand clawing at his neck as his naked feet made slapping noises on the cold kitchen tile. Rick would help.

The man barely turned around, drunk and no time to deal with your pussy ass. It was shortly after 7 AM, less than an hour before school.

Morty’s mouth pulls into a disgusted grimace for a moment, showing his top teeth, as he lets out an unamused huff of air. His eyes briefly flicker upwards in a short version of an eye roll that is too tedious to even complete, as he pulled a strong drag of black smoke into his lungs. The tingling in his extremities intensifies, though that isn’t the drugs. It’s never the drugs.

His throat was scarred from the countless nightly operations. Taking it out, putting it back in. Taking it out, putting it back in. The pocket created subdermally had been inflamed, full of puss, I have to clean it! Morty would recognize the pain of the operation in the morning though had stopped asking about it a long time ago. It wasn’t like he had much to do with it.

Rick gets up suddenly, unfolding his body with the odd knack and pull. He stands there for a moment before he turns around to face the ship in the distance.

Morty can tell from his slumped shoulders and the drool on his shirt that he is ready to leave.

“Be careful with the — with the red…stuff.”

Morty doesn’t need to glance down in between the rocks. He knew.

“This-this stuff will kill you if you touch it Morty! Worse — it would be worse than falling in a pool of lava. Way worse!”

Morty took a deep breath. Was that really what would happen? Only god knows, Rick rarely does.

Still, Morty executes caution as he places his scuffed white sneakers from stone to stone, dancing in a macabre rhythm toward the waiting ship, willing his vision to just stop blurring.

Eventually, after one last pull, he flicks away what is left of the black cigarette and stands before Rick. He is one of the very few people who are still taller than Morty, though not by much.

Rick doesn’t look at him, doesn’t really look at anything and Morty let’s him. He only looks at the sizable bloodstain on his grandfather’s coat for a moment before he enters the car.

Sweet oxygen.

As Morty relaxes into the worn synthetic fibers of the passenger seat, Rick abruptly turns from where he was frozen in front of the car and gets in. He gets them home in no time.

Season 7 is here, Gadies and Lentlemen!

I enjoyed the first ep, though it’s a very casual start. I was just wondering whether anyone‘s noticed this detail, too; when Hugh Jackman offers them the ✨ tic tacs ✨ everyone‘s shown grabbing some except for Rick? I mean, afterwards he’s clearly high too so maybe they just didn’t show it? Or it’s something he takes more often and keeps on his person. I also noticed that everyone had the same green stain on their face that Rick often has. Maybe there’s a connection. Maybe I’m stupid. Either way, what do you think?

I just posted chapter 5 of my R&M FF over on ao3 if you wanna check it out! :)

I’m really proud of this bad boy. If you’re into angsty stuff and into Rick Prime this might be for you!

I’d love to hear your thoughts ^^
