I think in the same way there's a 90/10 rule with horror and comedy (horror works best when it's 90% horror and 10% comedy and vice versa) there's a 90/10 rule for some relationships in fiction that's like. Wholesome and fucked up. A good friendship is at its most compelling when it's also 10% a bit fucked up. Fucked up relationship is at its most compelling when there's at least 10% of something actually sweet and substantive within. Do you get me

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

It is done..... chapter 8/8 is up!!

A short epilogue to follow, but super excited to wrap this up (finally💀)

---------------------

Lugh’s entire flat would’ve fit into Aurelius’s ensuite bathroom, and half of it was a narrow hall connecting rooms scattered around the odd layout of his apartment above the shops. Unused to moving around such tight spaces, Au had to duck under a low ceiling beam then figure out which door in the cramped hall landing was most likely a bedroom. All the spaces behind them seemed so small, he could barely believe they weren’t all just closets strangely outfitted with a shower or kitchenette. Yet one of them did house a double bed, and the corner it was pushed into was covered in overlapping posters and art prints. To Aurelius, it looked like someone had forgotten to install the mattress and had left only the boxspring on the bed frame. After testing it with suspicion, it did seem to be more of the mattress variety, if barely so. Still, the linens were a nice homey cotton and the quilt was beautifully handmade. He pulled back a corner of the dishevelled bedding, then carefully lay Lugh down and tucked him in. Loathe to leave, Aurelius knelt by the bed, just watching him breathe in his sleep for a moment.

He’d found him. He’d brought him home.

[Club Love]

A mini modern AU of my original story~

Rating: E - Explicit sexual content

Relationship: Aurelius/Lugh

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53476723/chapters/135355270

-------

Summary:

Aurelius is going to do something tonight he's never even dared to entertain the idea of before: he's heading straight for the gay bar in this new city he's landed in for work. Choked with uncertainty, he nonetheless steels himself, opens the heavy, nondescript door, and slips inside.

Despite perpetual exhaustion from shift work, Lugh works hard but plays harder. The Fairy Mound is his favourite place to blow off steam. It promises just what he needs: a beat loud enough to rattle your lungs, abundant liquor, and people as touch-starved as he is. Club love might not fill the hole in his chest, but it's a damn good distraction.

Thinking about Romeo killing himself through poison (more passive, "woman's weapon) Vs Juliet having to kill herself with a knife (more active, images of falling on your sword, typically masculine concepts)
