making some hardcore revisions to the nat/quinn relationship arc
#a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears#not that it matters to u bc it has the same start point and the same end point and i hadn't told you much of#the stuff that happens in the middle yet#but yeah like in my planning stages i was always like#Yeah nat and quinn are both equally as dangerous as each other and have the same potential to destroy each other which#kind of automatically lands them on an equal playing field. not necessarily a healthy one! but an equal one#but in writing its like..... but no though. bc the difference is that Quinn has zero qualms with abusing that power and using it to#manipulate and apply pressure and coax nat into doing what they want. where nat is always extremely careful and restrained#so like. nat definitely needs to be a more active participant in clawing his way to an equal level as quinn n basically#quinn gets a bit Too Reliant on nat and a bit Too Comfy around him bc he's essentially the perfect little doormat who'll do whatever#without much in the way of fighting back. so at least by the end of the books first third i think nat needs to kind of#land quinn in a somewhat compromising position n just be like#you need me as much as i need you. n you've gotten a little too soft in the belly havent you. I'm in your house i am in your office i am#winning over your friends one by one and I know exactly how you operate. i am stronger than you and faster than you and i#wouldn't even break a sweat tearing you limb from limb. i like you! i do. but i know exactly who you are and what you're capable of#you should stop forgetting who i am and what I'm capable of. if you keep fucking with my life I'm not going to take it lying down#we're partners in this or I'm out. your fucking move#n quinn is just sort of like. well this is unexpected but delightful. i did not expect to be into this but here we are lmao#quinn doesn't have many people stand up to their fuckin bullshit very often and generally if they do they're terrified and quinn#can just be like ok I'll just have you killed then lmao you're literally nothing to me#doormat nat is easy to manipulate bc he just wants to feel needed and important. he is also kinda. a liability bc he doesn't have#an awful lot of things going on in his life that quinn can actively threaten or use as leverage#idk. like. nat is very fond of quinn but he has 2 make it clear before the second half of the book n before their relationship#actually starts to progress towards a proper friendship w mutual trust and vulnerability that he's not going to put up with any bullshit#and if quinn tries to Be Like That then he's just going to at best bail or at worst fuckin murder quinn#and quinn is just like. hmmmmmmmm yeah ok! i love this you're looking very unhinged right now! let's go out for brunch lol#you don't have to do any murders you don't want to and also i will stop blatantly lying to you <3 you scratch my back I'll scratch yours#like yeah no one really calls quinn out like ever and nat does and quinn is just like alright. alright. this is new#I'm feeling some sort of way about it#i think I'm in love with you a tiny little bit which is incredibly confusing
