#*ben wyatt voice* it’s about…the /intimacy/

every once in a while I’ll be possessed by the urge to write something for these two, and never finish it 🤷‍♂️ Ghost POV, pre-relationship, pathetic fluff

—

Sometimes, in a fantasy he never allows himself to entertain for very long, he fucks Soap slow in a cabin somewhere, lethargic little rolls of his hips spurring quiet sighs of pleasure from his perfect fucking mouth. Outside, it’s woodsy, or there’s rolling fields, just green somehow, he doesn’t much care, and thin sunlight and morning dew combine to mist up the windows. Johnny’s all golden skin and soft moans underneath him, one hand tangled in the short hairs at his nape, the other running up and down the planes of his back and the thought of it makes something cave in inside his chest.

It’s a pretty dream, and it fits in his brain like a circle in a square hole. Simon Riley isn’t made for pretty things, which never used to bother him much as he never sought them out in the first place. His hands were rough and mangled, deft at wielding a weapon and little else after so long in the service. And John Mactavish is far from a blushing virgin needing his hand held, but the feeling he inspires is all too delicate to ever do much more than prod at helplessly.

An age ago, Simon remembers using these hands of his to sweep floors and spray down mirrors at a motel, his shitty attempt at scrounging up some last minute cash for his ma before he shipped out and left his old life behind for good. Wasn’t much good at that either, but it was passable for a 16-year-old who was tall enough to look 20, and enough for a motel manager who could tell the difference but was too high and stingy to care.

In a fit of insanity, he thinks about cleaning Soap’s apartment, giving the kitchen countertops a cursory wipe, changing the sheets on his bed. There’s a spark of lust attached to the latter mental image, but its almost an afterthought, not substantial enough to save himself from embarrassment and he groans, rolling over to mash his face into the mattress.

It’s all a bit fucking pathetic, really. Simon Riley, resident bogeyman and otherwise consummate professional, fantasising about being his sergeant’s damn house maid.

I don't know why this seems like such a galaxy brain idea to me but consider: Rahim wearing a baggy hoodie

Been doing a slow reread of ILM (big breaks between chapters instead of that glorious 4 day marathon) and I just reread Proven and I gotta say, it’s just the chef’s kiss. Copious amounts of (probably medically accurate) torture, excellent character exploration that isn’t just a flashback. The first nonexplicit sex scene I’ve ever read? Thank you for literally everything

(I like that I’ve been able to go through, read the first few sentences in a chapter and go huh, I remember what happens here. A testament to your writing.)

Thank you so much!!!

AH! I’m really glad you enjoy that one especially—I was very proud of it! And I am very proud of that sex scene so it always makes me happy when people enjoy that one specifically. You’re so welcome! Thank you for the lovely comment here! TuT💙

Haha, that’s exactly the feel for me too. I mean, I remember titles because I wrote it, but on a deeper level I read an intro line and go ‘Oh yeah. This exchange, then that part, then this fight, then this country conversation, and” and the whole thing feels familiar. Which I guess, for me, is just par for the course. But I am extremely glad to know it’s kind of like that for someone else too, because I really like that feeling. Thank you so much for sending this! Really, people have no idea how much their feedback means to me. It was a fantastic and kind way to start my morning, waking up to read this. TuT so thank you again.

one time instead of saying "it's a small world" I said "how many degrees of kevin bacon" and now my girlfriend says cute stuff like "the most kevin bacon thing happened today" and I

I love the deep conversations! They definitely need to have them. I have complete faith in them. They belong together! Them having those conversations brings a new level of intimacy. I can’t wait for that!! They are so cute!

*ben wyatt voice* it’s about the intimacy
