Omg megs these are all so intriguing I don't even know where to look. I want to know everything there is to know about the faking the moon landing crackfic, but also please pretty please can I hear about the quarantine night driving one too?

team!!!! hiya! thanks for stopping by!!

faking the moon landing crackfic is a 5+1 fic where the premise is really just "falling in love while faking the moonlanding". it's cashton and muke, where luke & ashton are astronauts and calum & michael are the director/screenwriter duo recruited to help fake the moon landing in the 60s. it has zero historical accuracy (both in like. the obvious way lol but also in speech patterns and etc.) and is incredibly stupid and fun :)) i started it forever ago but just recently picked it back up, and i'm really hoping that it'll be done in the next year (cross your fingers!) here is a snippet:

Ashton was also funny and smart and kind and basically checked off every single box on Calum’s list for an ideal partner, but Calum was nothing if not a professional. He could put all that aside to focus on pulling off one of the biggest conspiracies the world had ever seen. Besides, Calum didn’t want to fuck up the fact that they were beginning to become friends, or at least allies in the mess that was the Michael and Luke debacle.

and of course you can hear about quarantine night driving! it's an emotional hurt/comfort mashton fic where they all live together and aren't in a band. michael is breaking down in a very similar way to how i was back in summer of 2020, and ashton takes him on a night drive to get him out of the house. so pretty much what it says on the box! i wrote myself into a bit of a corner with this one, so i think i just need to open up a new doc to jumpstart the wip back to life! hopefully that'll happen sometime soon-ish but who knows.

send me a title from my wip list!
