i see people have started talking about aus so... what about an au where bill and frank meet and bill is like 95% sure that frank is his favourite model from his gay magazines from the 80s/90s

Ok i've just read one of the worst take ever on Bill and Frank's relationship and while i dont usually like to vent im gonna have to and its gonna be long: "transactional". Thats how their relationship has been described in that take. Especially on Frank's part of course. For the whole part of it. Yes. The whole part. The whole 16 years.

Except that Frank made it clear from the start that it wasnt. "Im not a whore" . Yes, maybe at first he wanted to have a nice shower, nice meal, new clothes and maybe even to be able to stay the night and sleep here. Yes, he realised quickly that Bill was gay and shy and maybe (and thats a huuuge maybe) he thought abt playing with him so he could survive another day. U know, having not eaten since 48hours, being the last one from a 10people group and shit.

But then he saw him play the piano and sing and he was a goner. Simple as that.

Because yeah, of course, when you're here only for "transactional" reasons like a safe place and food and showers, u run into a dangerous area with ur little gun where other guns are firing everywhere to save "said transaction" and reassure him that everything is fine, trying to not have him pass out ("talk to me abt your list Bill") while never letting go of his hand (And while in a transactional relationship, u obviously answer "im not alone, u re here" when the other part of "said transaction" says u cant stay alone if he dies and that you will need Joel, his bestfriennemy).

And yeah, of course, when you're here only for "transactional" reasons like a safe place and food and showers, u try to surprise him after 6 years of boring transactional shit with strawberries, and kiss him passionately, moved as fuck when "said transaction" tells u he's afraid to lose you.

And yeah, of course, when you re here only for "transactional" reasons like a safe place and food and showers, u tell him after 3 years that u want to repaint the town for both of u because thats how one show love. LOVE.

And the paintings of Bill, too, totally not done with love, obviously. And it definitely didnt break your heart to realise that you had a hard time finishing the last one because of your illness.

And on ur last day on earth, amongst other things that will make it one last good day, u definitely ask your transactional boyfriend to marry you, something you couldnt do in this universe before the outbreak, which is very symbolic but which of course totally doesnt show how much you love him.

And i could go on forever.

Bill and Frank is one of the most realistic and loving relationship i have ever witnessed on TV. In real life, i witnessed it with one relative and his boyfriend. Where u can love someone and still be honest saying for example "i've had bad days with u too" but God u wouldnt change a thing and still do it all over, because you had "more good days with him than with anyone else".

This is love.

AO3 First Lines Tagline

Wah, wah, wah! Thank you @theartthatleavesthemark for tagging me! 

Rules: Share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.  

1. Falling in Love with Every You I Meet (The Last of Us): Frank leans his back against the truck, tucked in its shade against the hot summer sun.

2. The Body of The Beast (Justified): Boyd refuses to pull his gun. 

3. Sweet as Honey, Sweet as Pie (The Last of Us): The thing about Frank that Bill very quickly comes to realize is that he likes to have projects. 

4. Cultivation (Justified): His mother tells Raylan he is more than his womb.

5. Something in Your Voice Tells Me We've Only Just Begun (Justified): Tim grips at rough brick as a tumble nearly spills him to the ground.

6. Before Rome Burns (Succession): Greg looks over his shoulder, flinching as he hears a crash followed by overly loud laughter and screeching. 

7. Three of Knives (Succession): To love someone is to give them a knife.

8. Accession (Justified): Doyle arranges for the burial, the Church mass, the visitation.

9. Babes in the Wood (Justified): “Applejack. Butterscotch. Cassette. String Cheese. Wrestling. Crab Shack. None of these are the frog’s name.”

10. Two Drakes in a Pond (Justified): “Boyd’s Duckling.” That’s what they call him.

This was so much fun! It’s so interesting to look for patterns and try to see if I have any common starters. Opening lines can be so tricky, to see what I actually end up doing with them is a trip. Looking back on these, I feel like I’ve at least used them to meet my personal goal of orientating the reader, haha.

@theartthatleavesthemark tagged most everyone I wanted to tag, so if I’ll send this out to anyone who wants to join in, haha.

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEY BUILT A HOME AND A BEAUTIFUL LIFE IN A TRAGIC DYSTOPIAN WORLD. THEY HAD 16 YEARS TOGETHER AND THEY DIED IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS. THEY GREW STRAWBERRIES AND WATERED THEIR PLANTS AND PAINTED AND COOKED AND THEY LOVED EACH OTHER 😭😭😭😭😭 THEY WERE EACH OTHER'S PURPOSE 😭😭😭😭

[thatlookback]

Frank once had to beg for resources just to paint the house and Bill was reluctant because he didn’t understand it.

At the end of their lives, we see Frank’s paintings everywhere, all over their house and town. Which means that he not only was able to get Bill to see the importance of maintaining art and beauty, but that Bill went out of his way to make sure Frank always had paint on hand.

That just goes to show the strength of their love and Bill’s character development. One of the most romantic queer media pieces I’ve ever watched. Beautiful, gutting, perfect.

I cant believe they turned "he was my partner" and a letter from Frank about how much he hates Bill into a 10k major character death oneshot fanfic
