I love your writing so much. The way you just tap into the inherent malewife and girlboss energy of Fiyero and Elphaba is chefs kiss.
For the prompt I was thinking either 34 or 20 you decide I’ll love it anyway 
Oh my goodness! This is so kind of you to say, thank you so much 🥺💗 I hope this is okay!
34. “If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.”
Some more Costars AU because this came to me in a ✨prophetic vision✨
It’s not graphic but they make out a bit so be aware 🫶🏽
(un)official part one

True to his word, Fiyero had come to know Elphaba better. He knew how she liked her coffee, and how she liked her tea. He knew that even though she pretended to be exasperated when Galinda tried new makeup on her or transformed an outfit, she actually enjoyed the experience. He knew she loved her sister more than she let on, and that she found Boq fairly amusing.
He also knew that she had grown fonder towards him more recently. What he did not know, however, was that Elphaba Thropp’s fondness was accompanied by a few things.
The laughter, for one. A delicious sound, one he wanted to bottle and down until he was delirious from it. She laughed easier around him now, chuckling at his jokes. If he was lucky and he surprised her, he was gifted with a snort.
Another was the touching. She touched him all the time now, a hand on his arm, fingers brushing his hair back when it fell into his face, her palm against his back as she moved by to alert him of her presence. She’d pulled him into a hug once out of pure happiness, thrilled with a scene they’d nailed. He’d gotten too excited, laughing and picking her up, spinning them both around in a circle. He’d put her down afterwards, mumbling an apology through his ever so charming grin. Fortunately, she accepted it, even if she hadn’t embraced him again if it wasn’t written into the script.
Maybe it was her newfound comfortability with him that emboldened him enough to ask her if she wanted to rehearse at his apartment. Once again, he was shocked when she agreed.
Fiyero was grateful he cleaned the previous night. He held the door open for her when they arrived, grinning softly at the brief, playful roll of her eyes.
“You and your gentleman act,” she teased.
“It’s not an act, love,” Fiyero returned, “I am a gentleman.”
“The tabloids say otherwise.”
“Since when have you cared about the tabloids?”
Elphaba shrugged.
“Fair point.”
His eyes shone with a triumphant light. They traveled to his living room soon, moving his coffee table and rearranging his furniture to free the space up for them to travel. After reviewing their scripts and Director Morrible’s notes, they began.
Fortunately for them, the scene wasn’t very difficult; it was the lead up to what would require an intimacy coordinator. He wondered if Elphaba was daunted by the prospect of portraying such a personal matter onscreen, though he had yet to ask her, as he didn’t want to make it seem as though he was doubting her professionalism. He promised himself he would tomorrow — they had a few days to prepare, but he wanted to make sure she was fully comfortable and assist her if she wanted an idea of what to expect.
Fiyero said his lines as he would in front of the camera, a perfect delivery. Elphaba, of course, did the same, and they ended up nose to nose, her body arching into his slightly while his hands held onto her hips.
“Should we…” Fiyero murmured, “I mean, do you want to…”
“Kiss?” Elphaba hummed back quietly, “I mean… it’s in the script. And we’re only rehearsing.”
“Only rehearsing. Right.”
“Right.”
He leaned his head down, allowing her ample time to back out. She tilted her head up and pressed their lips together instead. He forced himself to be brief, pulling away from her after a few seconds.
“The rest is, uh…” Fiyero could only think to shrug as he released her and stepped back.
“We’ll worry about the rest later.”
Elphaba turned from him, walking back over to where her script lay, presumably to examine it. Out of the corner of his eye, Fiyero saw her touch her lips.
They practiced again, each time with the kiss, though Fiyero noticed the look in Elphaba’s eyes seemed to shift each time. Her irises darkened, their beautiful green turning a shade that likened itself to a forest rather than the brilliant emerald they normally were.
They came together again, but this time, she didn’t touch him. They’d played with their positioning each time they ran the scene, testing out different options, trying to see what worked best for their characters.
She stood close, spoke softly, but her eyes never left him, still dark. There was something there, something familiar. Fiyero knew it well, a hunger that could turn ravenous if allowed. He’d seen it plenty of times before, though never on her. Fiyero was struck by the sudden urge to kiss her again, to pull her into him and devour her. He wanted to see what her eyes looked like when her lips were swollen and she was out of breath.
“If you keep looking at me like that, we won’t make it to a bed.”
Shock bloomed in Elphaba’s irises.
“Fiyero, that’s not the line,” she whispered, though her fingers twitched at her sides. He heard her breath catch when he moved her braids back carefully, lowering his head to her neck and murmuring, “I know that’s not the line, Elphaba.”
He didn’t care, either.
He paused before his lips could meet her skin, his breath hovering in the centimeter of air between them.
“Do you want me to stop?”
He would, even if he was certain it would be as painful as removing his brain from his skull. Elphaba’s head shook back and forth once.
“No.”
He kissed her neck softly, hiding his grin against her skin when he felt her melt into him. She pulled his head up, her fingers slipping into his hair as she kissed him. He bit down on her bottom lip gently, quite satisfied with the scandalous noise it drew from her.
“I meant what I said, you know,” he mumbled in between kisses, “we won’t make it.” Somehow, they collapsed onto the couch together, Elphaba landing on top of Fiyero’s lap.
“Prove it,” she told him, her mouth hot against his neck. He pulled her back, his fingers tangled in her braids, their heavy breaths mixing together.
“I’m happy to.”

I know it’s not happening buuuut since I’m obsessed with the co-stars pr relationship au I can’t stop thinking about a Christmas fic for them ohhhhh a themed interview/challenge I think some cosy sweaters maybe baking cookies
(in reference to this au where they're costars, anakin is directed to fake a relationship with one of his co-stars. the contract just says a costar, it's assumed it'll be padmé, but obi-wan swoops in and they fake a relationship instead, but actually they're not faking at all theyre just real dating)
I think a christmas fic for this obi-wan and anakin would be some sort of interview or challenge, I think that's great! like buzzfeed invites them to bake cookies and chooses the winner based on whose cookies taste the best
but they keep getting distracted flirting with each other and throwing flour on each other and giggling and sexily eating icing or something, and when they're not doing that, they're spending the rest of the time trying to sabotage each other. anakin switches obi-wan's baking soda out for powder. obi-wan switches anakin's sugar for salt.
they make the worst cookies ever in the history of holiday cookies. both lose. but they're probably also wearing very ugly christmas sweaters. anakin's rudolph has a nose that lights up. obi-wan is wearing a christmas tree.
happy holidays!!!
#asks#obikin#i have a few asks that are specifically about christmas so im trying to answer them before theyre OBE#apologies they just got buried in my ask box#if i dont get to them tonight tho ill delete em so im not talking about christmas forever <3#costars au

Rumor Has It
James Potter x fem!reader (costar au)
WC: 551
CW: Fluff; allusions to sex
Summary: Rumors have been spreading that you and your costar James Potter are dating.
Day 24 of mk’s mad dash
“So you guys had really great chemistry on screen. Did it come to you two naturally, or did you have to put in some time to get to know each other better?”
The blonde journalist across from you waited expectantly, pen at the ready in her hand. This was only about the billionth time you two had been asked this question, and you tried desperately not to roll your eyes. It wasn’t entirely the interviewers fault- you were doing press for a rom com- you just wished you could be asked more about your acting and work, not the romance.
“I guess a little bit of both,” James answered calmly.
And thank god for it.
“I certainly felt an initial chemistry with her when I auditioned, and it seemed like the directors felt it too. But of course, getting to know each other outside of filming was critical to establishing what you all ended up seeing.”
“If I can ask, what sort of stuff did you two do to bond?”
You jumped in on this question so you didn’t appear apathetic, “lots of stuff, really. We did a lot of fun activities like mini golf or going for coffee to connect. But we also really got to know one another. I think trust is so foundational for a role like this, and I think James and I really built that. We’ve met each other’s families and friends, been to each other’s hometowns, etc.”
“Sort of felt like we were really dating,” your costar joked, “though without all the benefits.”
You smirked and rolled your eyes, playfully swatting him in front of the camera.
The blonde interviewer giggled (maybe a little too hard for your liking.)
“You know, it’s funny you say that, because rumor has it, you two are dating.”
You and James looked at each other in fake surprise even though you’d both heard the rumors countless times. The goofy look on his face- his mouth wide open and hazel eyes glimmering with mirth- almost made you crack. But you were an actor, so you stayed strong.
“I fear that’s the rom-com curse,” you sighed.
“Or just a nod to your phenomenal acting,” your costar suggested, sending you a wink.
You could already imagine the countless edits that fans would make of this single moment- it playing over and over for everyone to analyze- backed by romantic music and heavy colorful filters.
You supposed.
It wasn’t like you’d watched edits of you two (or James) before.
“So it’s just a rumor then?” the interviewer clarified.
A series of images flashed across your mind.
You two’s chemistry read.
The first scene you guys ever filmed together.
Intimate late night shoots.
James’ hot hands on your skin for the first time.
Quickies in your respective trailers.
Your first date at his place where he cooked you dinner.
Your fourth date, where you asked him to be your boyfriend in the corner of a book shop.
The first sleepover.
Meeting his parents.
Him meeting yours.
Giving each other a spare key.
One hour ago in the dressing rooms.
You made sure to subtly shift your collar to hide the fairly large hickey James had left on your collarbone only about an hour ago.
“Yes,” you and James agreed simultaneously.
“It’s just a rumor.”

au where Steve is a famous Disney kid and Eddie is a teenaged singer-songwriter. They get pushed together at events because they're close in age, but they just quietly dislike each other.
Steve's got a new show starting, a spinoff of the one that made him a household name. They hire a newcomer, Robin Buckley, to play his best friend and the two quickly become BFF in real life.
The show runs for two seasons but when it comes time to renegotiate contracts, neither star is interested. They're older now, ready to live life on their terms and not the company's, or in Steve's case, his parents.
As soon as the finale airs, Robin and Steve celebrate by going to a gay club. A few weeks later, an interview is released where Steve comes out as bi and talks about how his parents mistreated him; how they worked with the network to pressure him to be a perfect "all-American" kid even off screen.
Meanwhile, Eddie's an impossible level of famous. He's had number-one hits, won a Grammy, headlined an arena tour, achieved every dream he had for himself as a kid growing up in a trailer park in Indiana. He's not shocked by the news that Steve is leaving Hollywood, but he's flabbergasted that the guy isn't straight. When Eddie reads the interview, he gets this weird pang in his chest, almost like regret. But he never even liked Steve.
Steve isn't in the news again and Eddie doesn't think of him for a long time.
Steve goes to college. He loves it. Not because he's great in his classes, or anything, but because he's free to be himself for the first time. He makes friends and goes to parties and relaxes. He and Robin share an apartment.
After a few semesters, Steve decides to take a couple of theater classes, and is quickly cast in campus productions. In the vague anonymity of college theater he rediscovers his love of acting. No one has expectations of him, no one forces him to perform. He graduates and slowly starts appearing in small roles in Indie films, gathering critical acclaim. He feels good. Happy. Hopeful.
Eddie is blissfully unaware of Steve's career resurgence, experiencing his own musical highpoints, until the day where he's scrolling Twitter, sees a Variety headline that's getting a bunch of attention, "Steve Harrington in talks to star in Max Mayfield's first film." Eddie's livid.
"Maxine, what the fuck?" He growls when she answers his call.
They grew up together in the same Indiana trailer park. When she moved to Hollywood to start a career as a screenwriter, Eddie was by her side. And when her first script wound up on the Black List, his involvement on the soundtrack and original songs sealed her production deal.
She gives a long suffering sigh. "Munson," she grumbles. "I know you have a weird history with this guy, but I swear he's the right choice."
"He's a stuck up rich boy who's never been in trouble in his life."
"He's changed."
"Doubtful," Eddie sneers.
"Look. I'll set-up a meeting. Come hang out and you'll see what I mean." Before she hangs up she adds, "Call me Maxine again and I'll end you."
They invite Harrington to Eddie's recording studio. His hopes are not high for this meeting, so he's already a little thrown when Steve Harrington walks in, all grown up. He's in a crimson sweater, tight jeans, hair grown long so that it flops around his face in tousled waves that actually look genuine, windswept and golden. Eddie's eyes instinctively trace the scatter of moles on Harrington's face and neck, a pang of something hitting deep in his gut. Fuck, this dude is beautiful.
"Harrington," he greets, sticks out his hand. Eddie barely hears the answering, "Munson," because instead of a handshake, Harrington pulls Eddie in for a hug. Muscles bunch under the sleeves of the sweater, against Eddie's chest, and he's assaulted by the scent of cedar and sunshine and Steve. Eddie's not prepared for any of this.
They make small talk, Harrington sharing about going to college, falling in love with theater, Robin Buckley who he calls his soulmate. Eddie's head rings with how wrong he was about this guy; the pretty kid he grew up alongside who seemed to have the world in his hands. Max was right, he's perfect. Except.
"Let's get down to it, Harrington," Eddie says. Can't bring himself to call him Steve yet, feels that will somehow change everything and he's not ready. "I'll admit that Mayfield had the right idea about you, but can you sing? Play guitar? You have to perform my music, dude. That's not a small ask."
Harrington smirks, asks for a guitar. He gets it settled across his lap before he speaks. "I started taking piano lessons when I was 4. Voice and guitar at 7."
Eddie belatedly recalls that Harrington's parents were the worst kind of stage-parents, pushing their cute kid to perform even as he sobbed about wanting to play soccer with his friends instead of going to auditions. He has a moment of shame that he forgets as the other man begins to play. It's one of Eddie's biggest hits, a ballad about a teenaged broken heart from a kid whose name he can't even remember.
Harrington's hair flops in a swoop over his forehead, his fingers move across the strings with ease, skill. His voice is a rasp, close mimic to Eddie's own, but not quite deep enough. Goosebumps spread across Eddie's arms, his neck, and warmth pools low in his gut.
Steve finishes the song, looks up, cheeks glowing pink, honey eyes bright. Eddie's fucking gone for this guy. He wants so badly he might choke on it.
"Good?" Steve asks.
Eddie's embarrassed suddenly. Unsure. He tugs at his hair. "Yeah," he laughs. "Good."
He reaches out to take the guitar, the one Steve's already handing to him, and their hands brush. Eddie flushes. Their eyes meet and Steve smiles. Eddie's thoughts are consumed with the desire to kiss his plush pink mouth.
"You wanna get dinner? Just you and me?" Steve asks.
"Yeah, Steve," he laughs. "I'd love to."
🎬🎸🎬🎸
Fifteen Months Later
"Former Teen Heartthrobs Make Love Connection?"
Fans of musician Eddie Munson and former child star, Steve Harrington, were in for the surprise of their lives last night as the men arrived together for the premier of Harrington's new movie, Small Town Sins, written by up-and-coming screenwriter Max Mayfield, featuring original music by Munson. While Harrington's performance and the movie itself are garnering quite a bit of positive buzz, it's being overshadowed by gossip about Harrington and Munson's budding romance. They walked the red carpet together, pausing for photos as a duo, holding hands and flirting. When asked for confirmation of their relationship, Munson answered, 'we're bros,' before winking and pulling Harrington close.
There's a TikTok video embedded below the article, showing the men being interviewed on the red carpet. Their arms are loosely around each others' waists, and when their eyes meet they catch and hang for a beat.
"So, longtime fans of both of yours are going feral online right now because of the rumors that you two used to hate each other. Is there any truth to that?" An off-camera voice asks.
The men laugh. "We've always been great friends," Eddie answers.
"Eddie thought I was stuck up," Steve giggles.
"I did not." Eddie slaps at Steve, who gives him an affectionate smile.
"Liar," Steve answers.
Eddie leans into the camera like he's telling a secret. "Harrington here was afraid of me."
"Fuck off, I was not." They wrestle around for a couple of seconds.
Steve shrugs Eddie off, straightening his suit jacket. "Okay, maybe I was a little intimidated back then, but then this morning you found a pretty rock and cried about it."
Eddie shrieks, swatting at Steve until someone in a black suit and name tag shoos them down the red carpet.
Eddie walks off first, so he misses Steve withdrawing a hand from his pocket and saying, "Still have the rock, though." He flashes the red, grey, blue striped stone at the camera.
His gaze drifts away, landing somewhere in the distance, hazel eyes soft and heart-wrenchingly fond.

Wow those ocs looks amazing did you made them?
Ohh! You mean the ones from the Samurai Jack AU? (Paws of Magic ✨)
The SJ Kids
I didn't do everything, I made Mai but the other two are made by my comic teammates, @tireddovahkiin and @darknadaworld respectively. Their lore is all made by the 3 three of us yapping and brainstorming hehe
These OCs are pretty much here to make this Samurai Jack Gen2
Mai
Mai is Jack's adoptive daughter, she's a 8 year old Chiyuchilla (extinct species that looked like colorful chinchillas with (minimal) healing powers), She's a samurai like her dad bestie
Cheerful, happy-go-lucky, very stubborn and resilient. But also a bit of a scaredycat.
Roni
Roni is Aku's first son (aside from Ashi cuz nobody knew she existed atm). He's a 11 year old tiny Oni (or whatever Aku is lmao). He was created by Aku and he's the world's best and fastest machine builder.
Stubborn, determined, tough and stoic, definitely not talkative, but secretly kind.
Muran
Muran is Aku's second son (and Costar's only son). He's a 4 year old (later 5) mix of an Oni and Star folk. He looks like a dragon wiwi.
Curious, silent, excited, affectionate (with his fam) and a bit mischievous 😈
If you came from the Smile animatic part I posted, what you saw there was their adult versions.
(Muran wasn't in that exact part but you'll see him later ✨)
A little thing to add about Muran:
Like Aku, he can shapeshift easily so his height always varies. What you're seeing here are his small forms.
As a child his default height was 5'1/154cm. As an adult it's about 50 feet/15m. Scarily close to Aku. He might often make himself way smaller to interact better with his fam.
Another important OC of the au comics is Costar. She's not one of the kids and isn't present in the animation but it's still really worth mentioning.
She's a Star being that got thrown to earth, now living there with Aku and becoming his most beloved servant. Then some sort of empress of the earth. (cosku moment)
(Art by Darknadaworld)
Costar's full ref and info here
So yeah, these four are super important for the au!
The AU comic (only 2 pages so far but we're cooking lol)

dumping the brainrot here so it can stop infecting my every thought: i literally cannot get Challengers costars!Barty&Evan&Dorcas out of my mind.
so, the story goes as follows: Barty is cast as Patrick, Evan as Art, and Dorcas as Tashi. they could’ve all known each other before the film, but i feels its more impactful if Barty and Evan have never met, even though they run in similar crowds. So Cas knows them both, maybe she’s worked with them both separately before, or wtv.
the premise of the fic centers around filming the movie and how, as filming progresses, the line between Art&Pat and Evan&Barty blurs and the boys are now in this homoerotic on and off screen friendship. Cas catches on pretty quickly, but lets it play out, because why the fuck not, she’s a lesbian with a hot rock star girlfriend and thinks her costars’ situationship is entertaining, its a win win all around for her.
i haven’t thought of the plot too much, but you know that behind the scene of the boys practicing for the jump-hug in the tennis match at their doubles match in 2006? the one where they’re just jumping into each other arms and falling? and this is rehearsal so its insinuated that this happened *multiple* times in order for them to get it right/do it safely/in an aesthetic manner? yeah, take that bts, make Barty, sitting on Evan, kissing his face, have a moment of "wow, i could do this all day" and then "FUCK i think im falling for my costar".
if anyone wants to explore this further or make a fic out of it, please please PLEASE tag me because im desperate to read this but will not be writing it myself, and so therefore i would love and cherish you forever for making my dreams come true, thank you 💋

“Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?” + fiyeraba
Drabble Prompts
YESSSSS
Costars AU 🤩 solely cause I can 😁
—
Fiyero Tigelaar didn’t know what he did wrong. He couldn’t remember making any terrible missteps or disappearing into a perilous pitfall during any conversation he’d had with his costar since being cast as the male lead in the biggest romantic movie of the year. But he knew he must’ve done something to irk or anger Elphaba Thropp, because the moment they finished rehearsing a scene, she flat out refused to speak another word to him. Fiyero was a bit surprised by Director Morrible’s casting choice, considering he was one of the biggest stars in the world and she was completely unknown, discovered in some small town. But when he’d seen her act for the first time, watched as she transformed before his very eyes into a completely different person, he understood her reasoning perfectly. She was incredible, and he’d somehow bungled his chances of getting to know her in any capacity that wasn’t strictly professional. And he had tried, approaching her after they’d met for the first time at their chemistry read to congratulate her. Albeit he’d been flirting with some of the other girls who were auditioning mere moments before, but he considered that a completely irrelevant detail. He’d attempted to catch her after their initial table reading too, only to be courteously brushed off before she left. Fiyero didn’t understand it. He had never been brushed aside before. She had to be the only person on Earth who either didn’t know who he was, or didn’t care.
Strangely enough, it felt… refreshing.
He started backing away after that, giving her more space, even if he couldn’t resist a flirtatious quip or two once their scenes concluded. He had no idea whether she’d noticed or not, seeing as she barely spoke two words to him when she didn’t have to (if she even stuck around that long).
After a particularly strenuous rehearsal, Fiyero decided to give his attempts at beginning a genuine friendship with Elphaba one last try.
“Would you like some tea?”
To his complete and utter surprise, she softly said, “Yes.”
His eyes lit up, though he kept his smile small and his nod cordial.
“Come on, then.”
Boq’s home, at which the main cast was currently gathered, was small. Neither he nor Elphaba had offered their current apartments up for post rehearsal hangouts. To him, she seemed impersonal, which explained her reluctance to engage with the rest of them. He preferred his own space to remain his own. It was the only place he could exist solely as himself, not as the larger than life figure he was expected to be.
They walked into the kitchen together as the chattering of the rest of their cast mates faded away. Fiyero set about preparing the kettle, heating the stove and placing the kettle down.
“I normally drink coffee this late at night.”
Elphaba offered him her words casually. Fiyero, still in slight disbelief that she was actually talking to him voluntarily, of her own free will, managed to retain enough brain power to ask, “Why’s that?”
“I used to stay up so late learning lines and practicing for auditions. It’s just habit now, I guess.”
She seemed conflicted, something flickering in her eyes, an internal battle he was only catching flashes of. Still, she asked him, “Have you always preferred tea?”
“Always,” Fiyero confirmed with a nod. “My mum made the best cups, though. It never comes out quite as right when I do it.”
“My mom made the best cups of coffee, too.”
He was surprised by the gentle smile that touching the edges of his lips. He’d gathered the tea pot, tea leaves and the infuser, and he set about readying them for the boiling water. Fiyero knew he probably should have simply enjoyed the moment and kept any further questions to himself.
He was never very good at doing that.
“If I may ask, what changed?”
Elphaba chewed on her lower lip for a moment, staring at him. Whatever she saw in his eyes must have been convincing enough, because she answered, “I saw you today. With that little girl.”
Fiyero froze. Boq’s family had stopped by briefly earlier for a visit, his young niece included. Fiyero figured no one caught the moment he assisted her, but apparently, Elphaba had. Fiyero covered his momentary stillness as best he could, moving to pour the tea into the pot. He offered her a cup once it was steeped, a minute or so later.
“She was crying,” Elphaba said after she’d taken her first sip, “but everyone else was so caught up in their own world. You, though… you leaned down and asked her what was wrong. You talked to her like she was a person, you didn’t infantilize her. You picked her up when she held her arms out and you made her laugh. And you let her go once it was over, like nothing happened. Like you didn’t just see her.”
Fiyero said nothing, sipping from his tea. Elphaba took a step forward, towards him.
“No one noticed. Well, no one but me. You didn’t do what you did for the cameras, or your fans, or even for Boq. You did it because it was the right thing to do.”
She took another step and he almost warned her to stop, because he wasn’t quite sure what he would do if she continued.
“No matter how shallow and self absorbed you pretend to be, it’s all pretense.”
Elphaba’s murmur was meant only for his ears. Part of him wanted to crawl beneath the table they stood next to and forget everything she just said. The louder, bolder part of him pushed him forwards, his chest a single inch away from hers. He looked down, carefully brushing one of the small braids that had fallen forward during their conversation away from her face. He had to take back some power, after all, and he knew his effect on people very well. He bit back the self satisfied smirk that threatened to rise at the quiet breath she sucked in. No matter what she said, she wasn’t as immune to him as she pretended to be.
“There is no pretense here,” Fiyero whispered, more for himself than for her. He needed the reminder more than he cared to admit.
“I don’t think so,” Elphaba whispered back, her gaze steady upon him.
“Elphaba! Fiyero! You guys have got to see this!”
NessaRose’s voice shattered whatever it was the two of them had found themselves entangled in.
“After you.”
Fiyero stepped aside, allowing Elphaba to set her cup down and walk past him. She paused at the kitchen’s edge, turned back to him and said, “Thanks for the tea.”
Incredibly, a small smile lit up her face. She looked pretty when she smiled, Fiyero thought. He would have to see it again sometime. But not currently — he had a reputation to uphold, regardless of whether or not she’d seen right through it.
“Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”
“Don’t push it.”
“Pushing is what I do best, love.”
“Elphaba!” NessaRose called again.
“Coming!” Elphaba yelled back. To Fiyero, once more, she offered those same two words.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
He stayed behind to clean up the kitchen before waltzing back into the living room, performance ready. But he noticed Elphaba let him sit closer to her than she usually would, that she began to ask for his opinion if he didn’t already provide it, and allowed herself to laugh at his jokes.
He wasn’t sure what it was that made him want more.
All Fiyero knew was one way or another, he was going to know her.

Carrie the Lifetime/Hallmark movie star AU
-Carrie as Girl Who Got Out Of Her Small Town To Make It Big As A Pop Star and never had to return to the countryside again.
-Except she has to return to her small town because Urgh, she has to go back because her father is all 'they want you to give a speech at the local high school to inspire young girls!' and her agent is like 'yeah that's good PR, you gotta go'.
-She's not sure why she has to go at Christmas, she hates the whole December month, she usually tries to book concerts somewhere warm so she doesn't have to Deal With Snow, Ew.
-She's very annoyed there's no limo waiting for her at the airport, and her agent is all: I got you a nice car. What do you mean where's the driver? It's a rental.
-Carrie is still fuming at the indignity of driving herself home and how much the town hasn't changed when she skids on some ice and gets stuck in a snowbank.
-Of course a handsome local Christmas Tree Farmer Math Teacher is there to help her out. He's like: yikes yeah that car is really stuck in there, let me give you a ride to where you need to go. He is a Gentleman who helps her out of the car and carries all her luggage to his truck and helps her in.
-Yes she is sharing the bench seat with an extremely cute and very affectionate border collie and she would be grumpy that now she smells like dog but Ellie is very cute and very happy to see her even though they just met.
-Reggie very sincerely thanks her for what she's doing For The Children and tells her all about how he moved here a few years ago to become the math teacher and how the community welcomed him and it feels like he has a family for the first time in a long time and blablabla.
-Carrie realises that sounds kind of nice because she doesn't even talk to anyone who isn't a work contact or her doorman and hasn't in months.
-Insert Reggie inviting her to cute small town things like the bake sale or ice skating and it's all very schmoopy and cue and hallmark christmas movie and they FALL IN LOVE.
-The kids in Reggie's class totally plant a mistletoe somewhere so they HAVE to kiss.
-Carrie remains a Pop Star Diva Who Travels The World but instead of going home to a cold and empty LA apartment, she comes home to a cute little house and a boyfriend and a dog.
#or wait did you mean 'carrie has played the main role in over 70 hallmark movies'#because that would also be an AU#she thinks it's all bullshit and she doesn't believe in love after some terrible relationships and her costar fucking her over#and then she has a meetcute and REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING because THAT'S NOT HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS#but she keeps running into Reggie and Ellie and eventually they win her over and SHE FALLS IN LOVE ALL ROMANTICALLY#julie and the phantoms#carriexreggie#AUs are awesome#I wrote a thing#you get two for the price of one apparently

About your last post. Why yes there is Jesus/Judas porn. The most popular fic is an A/B/O mpreg story. How about a crack (?) fic in which Obi-Wan and Anakin are actors in the musical Jesus Christ Superstars. Obi-Wan plays Jesus because he has already the perfect Jesus look in real life. Anakin plays Judas. The character who is the only one who still sees Jesus as a human and has a beautiful song about his love for Jesus. Both play their role amazing except that Anakin always struggle more and more to remind that Judas gives Jesus a kiss on the cheek and not on the lips. Both start to develop more and more feelings for each other and during the premiere everyone can believe that JCS tells also lovestory between Jesus and Judas.
i...i don't think my baptist grandmama would let me
#asks#but i LOVE the theme of 'these two guys are so in love with each other that even when they're not playing lovers it feels like they are'#like damn that's what i want my space actors au to be like in the end#and the costars au#i love that sort of bleeding of real life emotions into fictional scenarios#and theres not enough of that#but i guess that's also just pining w/ fake relationship
