#oh Baz

Then came Philippa bloody Stainton running across the lawn to embarrass herself. (She wouldn’t leave Snow alone that year, even though he clearly wasn’t interested.) The recorder swallowed up her voice in one horrible squeak, like a mouse being sucked up in a vacuum. I hit stop as soon as I heard her.… It was too late.

I'll go for "😍"

😍Character you have the biggest crush on

There's this ice dancer that I sometimes see at competitions, and he's SO cute. I wish I could talk to him, but he's always with his partner and managers... or squealing fans. Anyway, I don't know what I would say to him!

Besides, my boyfriend might not like it.

((Agreed, though... Christophe's Mysterious Manager aka Chris's Boyfriend aka Bastien is definitely crush-worthy!))

Am I worried about my Saturday deadlines? Yes. Am I gonna make sure I meet them? Also, yes.

If I haven’t sold you on Gareth Surname Band yet, hopefully this new summary of the dynamic does the trick:

Baz tries to be cool but is a huge loser. Simon thinks he’s a loser but is effortlessly so very cool.

Simon sets an irresponsibly large wad of cash next to the hedge like it’s nothing. Like it’s a normal thing to do. Like the wind doesn’t exist. Nor opportunists. Nor robbers.

Baz may come from money, but that also means he was taught how to manage it. He would never casually carry around that many dead presidents. Instead, he has meticulously balanced books and squeaky clean credit and a piece of plastic he flashes at waiters to prove it.

“The fuck, Snow? Do you not have a bank?”

Simon shrugs. “I’m on the road so much, it’s easier to just cash my checks as they come.”

Baz’s head aches with sympathetic stress. Incredulous. Insane. This man plays too fast and too loose with his life.

And Baz still wants him. Badly.

“What if you get mugged?”

Simon grins with his teeth. “I’ll mug them back.”

Unhinged Fic Rec Wednesday

This weekend I had the pleasure of inhaling Do As You're Told (50k, T) by @roomwithanopenfire. I somehow missed it when it came out a year and a half ago, and I decided to binge-listen with TTS while finishing a quilt. Bad call, because I spent half the time gaping unseeing at the sewing machine, completely enthralled.

This fic disguises itself as a fun little Watford-era magickal mishap. Simon accidentally casts a compulsion spell that makes Baz obey everything he's told. While maintaining a light tone, the story takes the implications of that seriously.

You know how in some fics, the real antagonist isn't a character, but trauma, or lack of communication? Well, here the antagonist is the human capacity for cruelty. It's not torture porn or anything; there's no violence, no gore. But the fic reminds us again and again of how everyone--good people--can be selfish, even sadistic.

It's uncomfortable, and challenging. There's this devastating moment near the end that felt like the author holding up a mirror to the reader who's telling themselves "but I would never..."

And it's a sweet, cute get-together. @roomwithanopenfire is some kind of magician for pulling this off. It's a lot more fun than I'm making it sound.
