Hello! I am extremely excited for today’s update of the campervan au, but also I am desperate for another snippet of the anterograde au. I will take literally anything you have I just haven’t been able to get my mind off it today 🙃
Oh my days HELLO there! I am so sorry, I was gonna reply to this earlier but entirely forgot and turned my laptop off...however, I remembered that I still had the "Graham tries to coerce Koschei into using a dustpan" passage in my notes app, so here's a bit from that! For context: this is about a month or so after the crash. The Doctor and Koschei were living out of Koschei's flat for a while, and then ended up living out of the TARDIS for reasons, and things weren't going great, so they've ended up back at the O'Brien's. Graham and Koschei just had a...long and difficult conversation in the back garden because Koschei is Not dealing with things well, and so he broke a glass on the patio. Post-conversation, Graham is gently but firmly getting Koschei to clear up his own mess hahahaha. Ryan and Graham's relationship, ofc, is about where it's at at the start of s11
"Here you are, then," Graham says, walking over in a way that he hopes comes over as entirely confident, but in a nonchalant kind of way, and passes the dustpan to him. Koschei, of course, just gives him an unimpressed look.
"Come on," Graham says, giving the dustpan an enticing wiggle, before raising his eyebrows. "I ain't going nowhere 'til it's done. I don't mind helping, but you gotta face the consequences of what you decide to break, alright?"
At that, to his surprise, Ryan huffs a laugh as he closes the fridge. "Are you getting the anger management talk too?" He moves over to the sink, dropping his cup into it with a clatter. "What did you do? I threw my bike off a hill."
To Graham's horror, Koschei looks at Ryan almost appraisingly.
"You'll both get it if you need it, which, frankly, you do," Graham says sternly. "If you will go smashing things up -"
"Yes, Graham," Ryan cuts in with an attitude Graham does not appreciate, but he knows when to pick his battles, and right now his battle is with Koschei and the dustpan. He shakes it again.
"Go on, take it," he says.
(Also, if you have any more questions about anterograde, or any of the other aus, feel free to ask!)
