This Way Up AU: Charlotte, Shona, Aine and Bradley attending their first pride parade together // promoted

[fanchonmoreau]

kate fleming AND shona o’keefe !

All right, let's do this.

Kate Fleming

My favorite thing about them - if she cares about you, she is 1000% ride or die for you. Hop on a speeding truck to an uncertain fate, think about the risks later kind of fight for you. She's a hell of a person to have in your corner.

My least favorite thing about them - Kate, you are just as likely as anyone else to fuck up on your way to trying to do the right thing. Work on developing your empathy so you can stop excusing yourself for the same things you hold others to the fire for.

My favorite canon relationship: Her friendship with Steve is so important to me. They can never have sex because that's basically incest, and I do think the show really gets that.

My favorite non-canon relationship: We needed closure on Jo! Even if it's Kate not really able to articulate what happened and why she made the choices she did, even just a bone to say Kate wasn't really manipulating her! And honestly... no matter what Jed says... Kate manipulating her doesn't work. Even if Kate told herself she was flirting with Jo to figure out what was going on, she then emerged with, literally, 'Jo Davidson has never done anything wrong, ever, in her life.' Not bringing that arc to a close is doing Kate dirty and I will be mad about it forever!

The sexuality I headcanon for them: Bi. I think it's possible that Kate, who married young and possibly as a result of an unintended pregnancy, and then had an affair to try to feel something, could be a lesbian. But in my own brain, she was strongly attracted to both Rich and Dot so, bi.

What I’d do if I could spend the day with them: Grab a pint and then as casually and subtly as I could direct the conversation to the benefits of therapy.

Random fact about them I like: the dog in a waistcoat meme she sent Steve was the best part of s6, fight me. Like where did she encounter that? Did she look for it? Did she google 'dogs in waistcoats'? Do her and Steve send each other memes regularly? These are the real mysteries of Line of Duty, no one cares about H.

Shona O'Keefe

My favorite thing about them: She really just went I want to start a business with my friend and then did it, huh? She did that.

My least favorite thing about them: Please please get your head out of your ass and join us here on planet Earth where your inability to deal with the consequences of your actions and the truth about yourself is hurting everyone you love.

My favorite canon relationship: Charlotte. As much as I would have loved a direct pick up after the kiss, the spiky post-affair barbs and cautious reconciliation, complete with lines Charlotte clearly rehearsed in therapy, did work for me. Because to me, it was heartbreakingly clear that Shona was in love with Charlotte. She even imagined what it would be like to be with Charlotte, but then couldn't bring herself to take the leap. And that hurt everyone around her, even as Shona was convincing herself it spared people's feelings. And I think it hurt Shona the most.

My favorite non-canon relationship: I really love Shona and Aine in both seasons. That said, I wish we had seen her come out to Aine, or at least confess the affair. That was important to me, and I hate that we as viewers missed it.

The sexuality I headcanon for them: She's a lesbian. I think her experiences with Charlotte triggered 'oh so this is what it's supposed to feel like' and that scared the life out of her. She knows it means she's gay, but so long as she's with Vish, she's not gay. She's a straight woman with cold feet who made a mistake.

What I’d do if I could spend the day with them: Invite her to my queer book club where we read queer books and discuss our queer lives and then send her gay tv recommendations.

Random fact about them I like: The drumming she did in s2! I need a whole history of it!

Send me a character

[lovelaceisntdead]

Shona 'I'm not a lesbian but I am going to get married in a suit' o'Keefe

[daantaat]

[lesbiangracehanson]

Laura Peterson & Aine O'Keefe

i've just done laura but here's aine!

My favorite thing about them: it feels like aine really Sees people + offers them all the kindness she has/can (sometimes to her detriment but i still think it's an admirable way to go about life)

My least favorite thing about them: that she hasn't ditched richard for bradley yet :(

My favorite canon relationship: nothing beats aine + shona's sibling relationship for me <3

My favorite non-canon relationship: not really non-canon but ....the things i would do to see aine + charlotte become besties ......

The sexuality I headcanon for them: bi for sure

What I’d do if I could spend the day with them: just hang out honestly, watch trash tv, have a very lazy day

Random fact about them I like: feel very seen by her apparent love for trashy reality tv x

001: this way up ofc // 002: kate and lisa :D

this way up

favourite character: shona even though she is spineless least favourite character: it used to be vish but after s2 it might actually be richard 5 favourite ships (canon or non-canon): charsho, charaine, braine, S1 raine, aine/alina character I find most attractive: charlotte character I would marry: charlotte character I would be best friends with: brad, maybe? he's the most grounded, he's funny, he likes drinking, he'd make me exercise and keep me in check a random thought: i literally have random thoughts about twu every single day lmao but i guess the latest random one is my headcanon that shona's contact in charlotte's phone goes from 'Shona O'Keefe' to 'Shona :)' to 'sexy yoda' to 'Shona' an unpopular opinion: WHERE DO I BEGIN? we'll be here all fucking day. my biggest one is probably that freddie is hot (chris geere my love) and that he is a good character and that cutting him out in s2 was a disastrous decision. i stand by my belief that the MAIN reason why shona and vish's relationship in s2 feels so stupid and meaningless is because freddie is no longer involved in the plot. aine and freddie's relationship in s1 directly parallels shona and vish's, and aisling completely shit the bed on giving either relationship the development or conclusion it deserves my canon OTP: charsho forever, charsho deniers drop dead my non-canon OTP: braine most badass character: charlotte for giving it to shona and telling her what's what most epic villain: aisling bea for the s2 fuckery vish in s1 for being a genuinely compelling and complex interesting character, this passive-aggressive, manipulative, self-centred Nice Guy character; aasif absolutely ate pairing I am not a fan of: vish and shona for obvious reasons. also s2 raine because what did the pod people do with richard? character I feel the writers screwed up: RICHARD AND VISH. i mean WHERE DO I START. i already did a long ass tumblr post on how mad i was over richard in s2. "i can't stop her talking" be fucking for real favourite friendship: aine and etienne character I most identify with: s1 shona. forever worried about the people she loved, stressed and harried, quick to anger, ambitious, snarky, protective, gay character I wish I could be: chien. she's a hilarious little asian spitfire, like is that not the dream?!

kate x lisa

when i started shipping them: properly after watching mw in cinemas in august 2020 my thoughts: i have been obsessed with them for two years what else is there to say?! i blame sharon and kst what makes me happy about them: they're so cute together. their relationship is just... in canon... enemies to friends... the endless potential... what makes me sad about them: they are not canon and never will be. also a movie ship and for a movie that will never get a sequel so i only have 2 hours of canon content of them things done in fanfic that annoys me: there is not enough fanfic of them to be annoyed by anything, but maybe making kate anything but a lesbian. things i look for in a fanfic: there is not enough fanfic of them to be picky!!! my wishlist: at this point i just need kst and sharon to be dating pls who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: nobody lmao they're endgame i mean... ugh... knife to my throat... ruby and lisa, sarah and kate my happily ever after for them: settling down in a quiet neighbourhood, domestic happy peaceful life with frankie
