“I’m telling you Gareth, somehow…I will get me a slice of that delicious cake.”

Gareth’s head snapped up from the book he was pursuing, “Cake! Where?”

He scanned the shop until his eyes landed on Harrington and Robin Buckley. Steve was turned toward her leaving his gorgeous lithe backside and perfect fucking ass right in Eddie’s eye-line.

Eddie smirked, eyes darting from Gareth back to Steve. “I just want to bite him.”

Understanding crossed Gareth’s face quickly replaced by disgust, “Literally, ew.”

“Mark my words, I will devour him on a silver fucking platter.”

Two Years Later

“Harrington, it was traumatizing.”

Eddie smiled, listening to his best friend and the love of his life, shoot the shit in their living room.

“What was traumatizing Emerson?” Eddie asks, placing a kiss on Steve’s head.

Steve leans back, leaning his head on Eddie’s chest. Looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.

“Oh, your Gare was telling me that you had a little obsession with um—“ Eddie watches as Steve’s cheeks dusted pink with blush. It was delicious, and Eddie just wanted to lick him. “—cake?”

Eddie cocked his brow, sure he has a hell of a sweet tooth but—

“Steve’s Ass. Before you started dating you were obsessed with his ‘dump truck’ of an ass!” Gareth howled, laughing.

Steve leaned forward sputtering. That delicious red of his cheeks spreading down his neck.

Eddie didn’t know if he should thank Gareth or kill him.

“And I still am. Have you seen it?” Eddie asks.

“Ed, ew!” Gareth exclaims hopping up from the couch.

Eddie laughs, clapping Gareth on the shoulder. “You’re the one trying to embarrass me! I for one will never be embarrassed that my sweet boyfriend is a fucking snack.”

Eddie pushes Gareth out the front door.

Once Gareth leaves, Eddie flings himself at Steve.

“What do you say baby, time for dessert?”

💖👨‍👧‍👧🌈🍰👩‍🏭:)

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

I really like the character interactions the most. Sometimes that's just dialog, sometimes it's dialog combined with describing what they're doing at the time. I think specifically I just like finding different ways to convey the emotions of the moment and how it plays between the characters.

👨‍👧‍👧 Do you tell people in real life that you write fic? 

Yes and no. Some of my friends know I write fanfic but they don't read it since they're not really in the same fandoms as me... or as into reading fanfic as I am. My parents know I used to, but to avoid them actually anything I've written since high school I've let them have the impression I only read fanfic these days. Because I definitely do not want them reading my fanfic.

🌈 What inspired you to write [insert fic here]?

Since no fic was specified, I'll pick one. :D How about the recent fic, Electric Connection.

So it started with me re-watching the start of the episode Power Outage because I intended to add Farooq to Timeline Poker (I really need to finish editing and post the next chapter). I really loved Farooq's interactions with his friends, Jake and Daria. (I did have to look up their names on the Arrow wiki.) Since the episode is Farooq's roaring rampage of revenge over Jake and Daria's deaths, it got me thinking shippy thoughts and the next thing I knew, I had a new rare pair.

Gotta stop doing that to myself.

So while they're included in Timeline Poker, I wanted a story that was all theirs and thus Electric Connection was born.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

I have many comfort fics, so while I already answered this one here, I have more recommendations to give. :D

Atlas ~ by distractedKat

An eventual Kirk/Spock fic set in the Kelvin-verse, only including the 2009 movie in it. It's respectful of all the main characters, re-aligns Kirk's characterization closer to his Original Series counterpart, includes Archer and his dogs, and it's got some great found family vibes going on. I really love the take on Nyota Uhura in this one - though she and Spock break up early on, they remain dear friends through the whole thing. And the friendship she develops with Jim is quite fun too.

👩‍🏭 If one of your fics was going to get you arrested, which one and why?

Maybe Road Trip? I'm setting some not so legal shenanigans in a real hotel in Salt Lake City (that I visited once myself a few years pre-pandemic) though I haven't gotten that part posted yet.

I can't think of anything I've researched for fics that's particularly illegal/would get me side eyed too badly. So Road Trip definitely comes to mind first.

For otp! You know it, I know it, you're gonna do it eventually, JERIC

All of em⁉️ alright bet I’m deranged like that

1. Who most initiates PDA?

Eric obvi

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Eric prob sleeps weird, I’m not elaborating on that, and I think jacks the type of mf who needs to be at a certain level of comfort at night or else he’ll die, he’s willing to let some things pass but not much

3. Jealousy issues?

Yea y’all saw witches of pennbrooke

4. What’s a Night Out for them?

They’ve got range, shits anywhere from nice restaurant to club to breaking into mr Feeny’s car

5. What’s an evening in for them?

Watching films, eating shitty food and being gay and stupid

6. Double Date? Thoughts? Who?

Jeric double date with Rachel and whatever bitch they try and set her up with real (also I’m pushing lesbian Rachel)

7. Do they want (have) kids?

Yea :)))

8. Have an AU thought?

I’ve got a boy meets world remake in my mind and heart (and google docs) if that counts, but so far I haven’t come up with any of my lil batshit completely disconnected shit yet

9. If they got engaged… who proposed?

Jack,,,,

10. How do they deal with the other’s family?

I feel like jack would kinda wanna impress Alan and Amy but overall he gets along with them and like,,, Shawn likes Eric and that’s all that rly matters

11. What is their love language?

Both prob mostly quality time but Eric also probably physical touch

12. How are their communication skills?

Average? I feel like Eric is kinda defined BY his emotional intelligence so that helps but they’ve got their issues (specifically cause of the time gap thing)

13. A little personal… but… Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?

Haven’t thought too much about this and if I’m being real idk if I wanna

14. How did they first meet?

K that one is just canon, shoutout to Cory for introducing them, he is a real supporter of the lgbtq+ community

15. Why do they like each other?

They both kinda bring something to each other that they themselves don’t have so they kinda balance each other out and bring out the best in each other because of that, I think that’s kinda why they like each other???? Cause of the differences and new perspectives and shit idk

17. Morning rituals?

Thinking about adult jeric, y’all they have real jobs now and Eric probably has to get up early as fuck, I doubt he’s at all functional when he first gets up, my guy is like “five more minutes” when he’s literally a senator, jack probably read some article once about the healthiest morning routine and has tried to abide by that ever since

18. Evening rituals?

Mfs watch tv and films till one of them falls asleep and I really believe that

19. How are they at parties or gatherings?

Jacks mostly cool and normal, Eric makes things fucking crazy/pos

Of course they do that shit, oh to be a fly on the wall well they decide to watch a horror film 😔😔😔

22. Who is the photo bug?

Prob Eric but I could see it being jack

23. How well do they know each other’s favorite foods?

Pretty well probably they literally live together (side note but Eric’s either the type of mf to eat like three different type of foods with very little variety or the type of mf to have a new food he’s obsessed with every other week no I’m not elaborating)

24. What do their texts look like?

Adult jeric time :)))) jack has that stereotypical old man texting style, Eric does that weird thing my grandma does where it’s like “congrats on the show today🏄‍♀️🌈🍰”

25. Parenting style?

Dude Eric would literally be such a good dad, fun parent, Eric Matthews be my dad challenge, I think Jack might be worried about fucking up but overall I think he’s do a good job, he’d make sure that kid didn’t die

26. If they have kids, who named them? What would they name them?

I’m not entirely sure?

27. Who brings home an illegal pet?

Eric if either of them (Eric’s not rly a pet guy and jack has a hard enough time taking care of himself)

28. Who takes the longest getting ready to leave?

I’m not sure, this could go either way

29. Who said I Love You, first?

I like the idea of it being jack but it was prob Eric

30. When did they realize they loved each other?

Eric was prob during witches of pennbrooke cause,,,, I love that episode and I like the implications of it,,,, jack I legit think was probably after the end of the series but before girl meets world (I mostly like to think this cause it makes me sad 👍)
