[riewritten]

ok so ive reread Oil Well Fires for the first time in a while and i, for the love of god, could not physically recover to this abhorrent shenanigan johan had pulled because reader had a nice day with the inspector

like not even out of jealousy. our pathetic boy believes he’s not capable of such human feelings. i dont know what brought him to do THAT 😭

[ultra-raging-ghost]

Idea for a little Cucuhalo fic/au. Ok hear me out:

Roommates/Office au

So, I haven't fully fleshed out the details yet, but Cucurucho as a rich boss that owns some kind of company and Bad is an employee that just moved from somewhere and started working in his company not too long ago. They try to get along... well enough in the office, albeit there's some tension and passive aggression between them.

Their co-workers love to gossip about them because it looks like there's something going on between the two, but it's all speculation for them. What they don't know is Bad and Cucurucho are actually secretly roommates, and they "hate" each other even more outside of the office.

Cucurucho has a cat that Bad wasn't initially fond of named Emotional Support (they're actually raising that cat like it's their baby lols) because Bad is more a dog person, but Cucurucho insisted on getting a cat as a pet. That's only one of their roommate quarrels. Most of the time they are extremely passive aggressive, and do things like, idk, not washing the other person's dishes lmao.

Despite how much they claim to hate each other, neither want to leave because "it's easier to share rent" or "no one would take care of Emotional Support when the other person is busy", some kind of excuse like that. But really, it's because they do enjoy having each other around, and sometimes, they have nice dinners and movie nights together. Then they fall asleep on their couch and wake up entangled, but neither wants to admit they were literally cuddling the night before. They are so attached to each other, but no one wants to say it out loud.

Basically this au is me wanting Cucuhalo office and roommate drama with a dash of sexual tension and long-term denial, romantic comedy sitcom style.

WAITTTT REAL

I love them living together and making up excuses to do so....

"Its expensive to live alone" "Emotional support is already so attached to him itd be mean to take her away from him" "We bought the furniture in a way that would make it weird for us to move out" (bad bought both the beds, or the one bed hayoooo, cucurucho bought like 20% of the spices and condiments, they dont feel like splitting up the furniture is what im getting at) "Theres no available housing in any areas id want to live in" etc. etc. any excuse to stay together even though to everyone else it seems like theyre at eachothers throats all the time!!

I think the way the workers would find out is a couple of them getting invited over. Like after a night out, one of them cant find a ride home so bad (resident guy who doesnt drink) offers to let them sleep on his couch for the night, and the next morning they wake up to arguing. They sit up on the couch and over the back of it who should they see in the kitchen together but CUCURUCHO and BADBOYHALO who are arguing because bad didnt ask before inviting said coworker over!! They kiss and make up (either metaphorically or literally) and cucurucho lets it go for now and sneaks off back to his (possibly their) room so he isnt caught and has bad send the coworker out as soon as they wake up. The coworker doesnt say anything about seeing cucurucho right then... but later on cucurucho and bad hear a lot of whispering that gets suddenly quiet when they walk by, and then it continues when they walk past.... more so than usual!!! And they dont think too much of it, but then someone comes up to bad's desk one day or approaches him in the hallway or by the water cooler and goes "so.. you and cucurucho, huh??"

(and then they realize bad's not the one to approach because hes very aloof and wouldnt pick up on the implications that the coworker would be dropping.. but theyre too afraid to go ask cucurucho about it for fear of getting chainsaw'd LMAO)

SHOUT OUT TO THE "ONLY ONE BED" TROPE, WE COULD DO SO MUCH WITH IT!!!

Person much wiser in matters of emotion -and many other things: You can't pick and choose when you're going to experience emotions all the time. Sometimes they just need to happen when they happen.

Me, coming home tonight after barely holding back a breakdown at work, turning on an emotional movie with the express purpose of having a release in a controlled environment: Watch me.

Me, after the movie fails to illicit any tears: .... that really should have worked.

Luigi x Y/N "Bound by the Fine Print"

The first time you met Luigi Mangione, he was standing at the head of a long conference table, flipping through a thick stack of contracts with the kind of casual precision that screamed authority. You were there as the newly hired legal consultant for Mangione Enterprises, a boutique but highly influential family-owned wine company looking to expand its operations internationally.

Luigi was nothing like you’d expected. You’d envisioned a polished, impersonal executive with a team of assistants and an air of detachment. Instead, he was all sharp intelligence and disarming charm, his tailored suit doing little to hide his relaxed posture and mischievous smirk. His dark eyes seemed to study you as much as the fine print in the documents.

“Ms. [Your Last Name], I hear you’re the best at finding loopholes,” he said, his voice smooth but edged with curiosity. “Let’s hope you don’t find any in our contracts.”

It wasn’t a flirtation—at least, not exactly. But the way his gaze lingered, paired with that half-smile, made your stomach tighten.

Over the following weeks, you worked closely with Luigi, combing through agreements, negotiating with international distributors, and unraveling clauses that could make or break the expansion. Luigi was brilliant but unconventional—he challenged every idea, often leaning in too close during late-night meetings, his cologne mingling with the scent of wine samples scattered around the office.

One night, as you sat across from him in the dimly lit tasting room, the air between you thick with unspoken tension, he leaned back in his chair, swirling a glass of deep red Cabernet.

“You’re relentless,” he said, his tone low and amused. “I’ve never met anyone who could argue me into a corner like you.”

“Someone has to keep you in check,” you shot back, though your voice betrayed a slight tremor.

He chuckled, the sound soft and warm. “Fair enough. But I have to ask—what drives you to be so... precise? So uncompromising?”

You hesitated, caught off guard by the shift in his tone. “I just believe in doing things right,” you said carefully. “No shortcuts, no compromises.”

Luigi tilted his head, his gaze never leaving yours. “I admire that,” he said quietly. “But I wonder—what would it take to make you bend?”

His words hung in the air, a subtle challenge wrapped in intrigue. You felt your pulse quicken, the tension between you crackling like static electricity.

“Let’s hope we don’t find out,” you replied, your voice steady but your heart racing.

Luigi smiled then, a slow, deliberate curve of his lips that sent a shiver down your spine. And for the first time, you realized that whatever game was unfolding between the two of you, it was only just beginning.

Sabi ko na nga ba, weird 'yung paggamit nila sa office ng "revert back" sa email. Hahaha. Found out na Indian English siya pero syempre 'di official sources mga tinignan ko (idek if may official source ba for that).

Nag-aagree ako sa argument na revert means to go back to something like an older version. Pero who knows 'di ba, baka ang perspective ko ay nakapaloob sa Philippine English, like avail.

Daming "kindly revert back the file by EOB [date]" eh paano mare-"revert" kung ia-update ko at isasign pa. Edi na-"update" 'yung thing.

Ayon kay chatGPT:

Please provide me with the updated file at your earliest convenience.

I would appreciate it if you could send me the revised document.

Please ensure the revised version of the document is sent back to me.

I kindly ask that you send me the updated file promptly.

I respectfully request the return of the document with the necessary revisions.

Could you please send me the modified document as soon as possible?

I kindly urge you to send the document back to me with the requested changes.

I kindly request the timely return of the document, incorporating the necessary updates.

May argument din na revert BACK is redundant. Like sit down or stand up. You can't revert anything forward.

While it is commonly used, saying "revert back" in an email can be considered redundant and unnecessary. The word "revert" already implies a return or going back to a previous state or condition. Therefore, using "revert back" can be seen as repetitive. It is more concise and clear to simply use "revert" or "reply" in your email. For example, you can say "Please revert to me by tomorrow" or "Please reply to my email by tomorrow."

Allegedly, it can also mean to reply daw. "Please revert by email."

So I guess, kindly revert = kindly reply. "Kindly revert tomorrow" is fine.

Boss is in a long meeting with several people about who is going to help with the next seasonal school in Cambridge, and none of them want to go with him and no one they’ve asked wants to go with him, and the veeps aren’t even interested, and I’m just sitting in the next office over like
