Day #22 - Prompt: Alternate Universe | Word Count: 995 | Rating: T | CW: None | POV: Steve | Pairing: pre-Steddie| Tags: IT Crowd AU, banter, my attempt at humour,
Ok, I wasn't going to write for today, but I was sitting on a work call and it made me think of the IT Crowd and that made me think of our beloved idiots. And honestly, I've been writing so much angst I thought I should try and redress the balance!
Steve wasn’t exactly over the moon about working for his dad, but one failed retail job after another and a few unpaid bills is all it took to have him crawling back to Harrington Senior. He didn’t want to be an office gopher, or work in the mail room, not at his age, but he’d suck it up.
Head of IT. His dad was making him Head of IT.
So far he’s told two friends. Robin, who stared at him like he had two heads before saying “Is he joking? Is it— is it like an April Fools thing?” And Dustin who was even less polite:
“What the fuck do you know about information technology?”
“Is that what it stands for?”
“Jesus Christ, Steve.”
He heads to the bank of elevators looking for his department. Harrington Industries is spread over twenty floors. He wonders if he’ll get a corner office. God the views…
Steve runs his fingers down the list until he finds IT. Basement. No view then. Shit.
He exits the elevator into a dingy hallway, discarded PCs and printers stacked everywhere, and trips over a cable almost immediately.
Finally he finds his department. And… well…
Fuck.
Yeah. It’s all making sense now.
It looks like a frat house. There are two guys on a ratty couch playing video games, and another two at desks; one mop top making cat memes, and an admittedly cute guy with long hair with his feet up on his desk. There are phones ringing and no one seems bothered by them, until eventually Long Hair lets out an exasperated sigh and picks up.
“IT Support, have you tried turning it off and on again? Uh huh. Yeah it’s the button on the front of the… yup, big grey button… can’t miss it… you know what, let me send someone up. What’s your floor? Uh huh, and name? Melanie. Melanie in Marketing. Well, I’m going to be sending my best guy up—“
And, finally someone has noticed he’s there.
“Uh, he’s on his way, bye.” Long Hair drops the phone. “Guys, we have company.”
“Hi, I’m Steve,” he says, smiling at the four faces now firmly fixed on him. “I’m your new boss.”
“Not for long,” snarks one of the guys on the couch.
“Matty, be nice!” says Long Hair, and god he has beautiful eyes. Shit, fuck, no, don’t go there. “I’m Eddie, that’s Matt, who is just about to head up to Melanie on four—“
“Oh for fu—“
“—That’s Jeff sitting next to him,” Jeff raises a hand, “and this is Gareth.” Gareth just scowls at him.
Steve finally gets a good look at them all. Ratty band shirts and sneakers, ripped jeans, totally unprofessional, they look like they’re in a band not an office. He’s going to be making some serious changes around here.
“Well it’s good to meet you all,” he says and finally catches sight of a small office. He points at it, “Take it this is mine.”
“Sure is,” says Eddie. “We didn’t know exactly when you were coming so you’re not set up yet, but Jeff will get that done this afternoon for you.”
“Why this afternoon?”
Jeff stares at him like he has two heads. “It’s Minecraft Monday.”
“Yeah, I have no idea what that is.”
Eddie laughs. “It’s fine, I’ll come in a few minutes get you hooked up. Why don’t you make yourself comfortable. Boss.”
His office is small and cluttered with more junk, and definitely no window. God, this sucks.
There’s a knock at the door and he turns to find Eddie leaning against the door frame, arms crossed against his chest.
“How d’ya like the place?”
Steve runs his hand through his hair, pushing it back off his face.
“Uh, yeah, it’s, you know…”
“A shit hole?”
“Yeah, a shit hole.”
“I take it Donny didn’t exactly fill you in on the details.”
Steve drops into the torn office chair. “Not really,” he sighs. “He has a habit of that.”
Eddie straightens up. “You’ve worked with him before?”
He laughs. “Better than that. He’s my dad.”
“Oh shit.”
Gareth barges in. “Wait, Donny the Dick is your Dad?”
“Donny the— hey, that’s—he’s the guy that pays your salary, a little respect.”
“Pretty sure that’s Karen in finance.”
“What…? You know, never mind. Point is, this department is a mess and there’s going to be some changes around here. Starting with the way you answer the phones, you can’t just tell people to turn the computers on and off—“
“—off and on,” Jeff cuts in.
“Whatever, you can’t do it. You need to ask what’s wrong.”
Eddie laughs. “I mean, we could, but the answer would still be to turn your PC off and on again so…”
Jeff and Gareth nod along like those stupid plastic toys. God, is it too late to go back to Family Video?
“Well, that’s as maybe, but for now you’re… ah, dismissed.”
He doesn’t miss Eddie’s amused smirk, as he gestures for his troops to leave. But then he’s perching himself on the edge of the desk, leaning into Steve’s space, those big brown eyes pinning him in his seat.
“So, just between us, you don’t actually know anything about IT, do you?”
“I mean… I know… uh, like mice, you know and uh… oh!” Steve snaps his fingers and points, triumphantly. “HTNL!”
Eddie’s biting his lip, god he has beautiful lips. “It’s HTML, but you were close. Do you do a lot of coding, Steve?”
He flops back in the chair, defeated. “Up until last week I was working in Family Video.”
“In their IT department?”
“No, in their ‘this is due back in two days department.’” He groans. “What the fuck am I going to do?”
Eddie laughs. “Don’t sweat it, you’ve got a lot more going for you than the last guy.”
“I have?”
“Oh yeah. At least you’re pretty,” he says with a wink.
Yeah, Steve’s totally screwed.

Thanks Zote, I would have never known!
Bug Fact: The Land Lobster is thought to be the world’s rarest insect. Plentiful before the introduction of rats to Lord Howe Island, they were thought to be extinct for 80 years. In 2001, less than 30 individuals were found. Breeding programs are under way! Photos Below

They're a type of Stick Bug! This bug's story is so bombastic and wild I wanted to link a bigger article here for those who are interested.
#This one page took me forever to make. There's more than 15 buggies in that crowd! Plus I had to figure out the ground layout#I wanted to show how at ease the bugs from Vol 1 are with Dewi compared to the new ones. Quirrel is waving hi <3#Plus I needed to show just how much more crowed Dirtmouth is!

I was just looking at you itty bitty FOP au (it's amazing and cool btw)
But one question was floating around my head the entire time I was looking through it
What other things does Changeling Timmy hate/dislikes besides muffins?
Timmy doesn't like celebrating his birthday. His parents never celebrated it at his house, so getting one feels... odd.
Once, his friends tried throwing him a surprise birthday party. At the time, it had been the biggest most exciting thing he'd received! A whole party just for him!!!
But afterwards, Timmy found that he actually... hated the attention he got. Being at the center of everything, having everybody watch as you open presents, covered in silly string and streamers and confetti, where all his opinions mattered above others... No, he'd rather avoid doing that again.
Timmy plans to never tell people about his birthday when he moves to his new location. He doesn't like surprises or sudden noise.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop timmy turner#fop timmy#timmy turner#chimmy changa#asks#itty bitties fop au#derpysuzie#chimmy also has severe claustrophobia and a fear of big bodies of water/being submerged in water#he also cant stand being in a big open space#anything too crowded or too wide or too empty or too filled or too chaotic or too calm#this man. hrm.#hes not quite handling things as he should be handling them.#in this art piece he's just turned 15#also i know its usually the name that comes after happy birthday but it didnt fit with the effects if the name came after so.#we'll chalk it up to Chester misplacing the letters on the banner

#my art#daycare attendant#dca fandom#moondrop#<- dca.. they're back in town ...#not tagging sun bc thats just their head :p#anywayyy hopefully this means something to someone. that's all i could ever wish for when it comes to my art#thats probably a bit too sentimental or something but sometimes it's hard to tell if the stuff you make is actually reaching people#or if you're just another person making content to satiate an insatiable crowd#is my art edible? is it a meal to you? is it a one time only thing? does it have any lasting effect on you?#is it just nutrients to sustain you? or is it something that will genuinely stick to you for at least longer than the first second?#i will stop talking now. you can eat my art as much as you'd like but can you at least savor it a little? compliment the chef a little bit?#for the ones who've read this far: this is actually for an AU i've been thinking about recently. i won't be sharing what it's about lol#but if you wanted some context for this... here you go. i'd like to think this has more meaning to it than just being an AU though#and maybe me not disclosing what the AU is will make you think about this post for a bit longer? it's a mystery now....#aaaand i just noticed i forgot the bells on the ribbon on their arm. great. excellent. perfect. whatever

So what do you get if you combine ep. 43 of ouaw (!minor spoilers) and a hyperfixation for another piece of media (disco elysium)? Trick question, Kremy is still jealous.

hear me out: seokmin as a participant in the selection, a competition for the princess' hand in marriage.
seokmin would be from the 'artist' caste of society. he gets by as an in-demand actor-slash-musician, but his prosperity still depends on his desirability. his future is in a constant precarious balance— will he have enough for food and rent tomorrow? will they still love him when he's no longer as young as he is now?
when you announce your plans to hold a selection, a part of seokmin knows that this is his chance to advance. to live a comfortable life, to never have to worry about money again.
another part of seokmin can only think of you. the queen-to-be, the crowned princess. he's not a fool who will claim love at first sight, but he thinks about the time, years and years ago, when you had once smiled at him in a crowd of thousands. and, oh. what he'd do to be the reason behind that smile again.
seokmin is selected. the palace advisors are required to choose one or two 'lower' caste boys to give the illusion of hope, to make it seem like it will be an even playing field. he's the perfect choice. easy on the eyes, used to entertaining. initially, none of them think he'll really make it.
seokmin knows he has to compete with thirty-four other boys to win your heart. he knows that being chosen is just the start. for a moment, he doubts getting himself in to this whole thing— until he's given seven minutes to speak with you before the competition kicks off. they all have seven minutes, an chance for a one-on-one. here is how he spends his:
seokmin ungraciously blurts out that you're a lot prettier than he remembers. he tries to recover by explaining that incident where he'd seen you, before, on a parade float. his face burns with shame as he changes the topic by asking you about your day. you manage to squeeze in one or two polite, getting-to-know questions about him ("what type of music do you sing? what's your family like?") and he stumbles through his answers.
seokmin is convinced that the whole thing was a train wreck. but, just as he gets up to go, you say softly, "i remember you, you know."
you're still as royal as ever, still sitting tall and straight. proud and serene. but there's a hint of a smile on your face. suddenly, seokmin is ten again— the parade, the crowd, the sun in his eyes. and you're grinning at him now, the same way you did back then.
"you bowed, back then," you add, and seokmin forgets all of it. the competition he's supposed to be in. the money that awaits him if he sees it through. his own damn name. because he had bowed, had traveled on with the rest of the parade once he'd caught your attention. you remembered that. you remembered him.
what is he supposed to do with that information? what is he supposed to say? the seokmin of present day can only do one thing. he folds in to another curtsy, as clumsy and deep as it is when he first did it. when he comes back up and sees that your smile has gotten imperceptibly wider, he thinks, oh, i'm in trouble.
