Do you think up angsty Winnix fic ideas/scenarios in your head all the time too or is it just me

oh yeah obviously . 100%

like there's the fun "angst" of like what if they slept together but then dick had to leave before nix woke up and then they cant talk about it cus the War Is Happening and nix thinks dick regrets it etc you see the themes.

and theres the less fun of like i think it doesnt work out, in the long run for them. like between the secrecy and nixs alcoholism i think they had a pretty messy divorce somewhere in the early 50s . and i think its nix who has to leave. i think dick wouldve taken anything to keep lew with him but lew knows its fucking killing dick to see nix like this.. and so its nix thats the one who has to leave first ...

#my like rough timeline for them is like they come back home in 45 #and they have a little townhouse in jersey together. and they really tried. they really tried!#they had the house and dick had the job and nix cooked dinner every night and they had friends and knew their neighbors..#but at first the drinking was just . a part of nix. and something dick always knew about nix. and nix tries to cut back but his whole life #is an opportunity to drink. like the country clubs and the yacht clubs and the dinners and the events and the parties and just like #nix is doing What He Does as the socialite son of stanhope nixon like its a part of his job #anyway. eventually he gets sober for the most part in the late 40s. but then dick gets called back into the service . and i think when dick #goes back nix relapses hard. and its just too much stress on their relationship.... and like obviously for dick its not like there #are support groups for partners of people struggling with substance abuse at the time.#anyway. so. nix leaves for california and dick goes home to buy a farm in pennslyvania #damn sorry that got morose lmao. i have a headache :/#anyway. to answer your question.. yes<3 #amanda.mail
