#is this theseus asking herakles to not kill himself and come back to athens with him (via @adanima)
Right? RIGHT?????
Because Theseus wouldn’t even be able to be there to stop him in the first place if Herakles hadn’t brought Theseus up out of the Underworld.
Okay, Vegaspete friends, do we think Pete kept the sticky note from the temple?
YES.
But first he crumpled it up. But then he stuck it in his pocket instead of throwing it away. Later, he took it out and smoothed it out and re-read it. He almost crumpled it up again, but then he just folded it up, twice, tiny, instead. Then he took it home and almost forgot to take it out of his pants pocket before they got washed, and he had to make some kind of excuse to go rushing back to his quarters before the laundry auntie could take his things on laundry day. THEN, he stood over the laundry hamper and unfolded it and smoothed it out again before re-folding it (once) and sticking it in a desk drawer under three folders of paperwork that he knows Porsche will never touch.
He’s opened the drawer at least five times since then but never pulled out the folders on top of the note, like if it stays buried, it can’t bite him. He has sat there with his hand on the top folder, brushing his thumb back and forth over it without quite realizing, though.
OK, no, he usually realizes, eventually, that he’s doing it, and then he makes that same face he made right after pouring out the water outside the temple, and shuts the desk drawer a little too hard.
OK, also a little bit of a kind of, sort of not-fic from the wake of Ep 9.
@userdramas event 07: identity - a character i fucks with heavy identify with
↳ Pete Saengtham (in/sp)
A gentle mini-snippet from the in-progress third chapter of Lapping at the Edges.
“Tell me first next time—you’ll save yourself the trouble of a boat ride.” Vegas laughs. “Would you have sunk him for me? Going to defend my honor?” “I’ll do what I have to.” Pete’s teeth flash, a hint of moonlit shadow-glory. “We’ve had weirder date nights.” Vegas kisses him—once, twice, keen teeth giving way to receptive tongue. Pete’s chin is a mellow weight in his hand; Vegas hooks under his jaw to caress the tender skin of his throat. “Fucking on a sinking ship seems a little on the nose for us.” Pete’s throat vibrates around a hum. “Are we sinking?” Vegas stills. Gratitude radiates to warm his face and fingers and the tips of his toes. “No,” he says. “I suppose we’re not.”
You are laughing. I'm electrocuting your balls and you are laughing
HOLY SHITE IT'S 7:30 AND FINALLY FINISHED BANANA SPLIT AND IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST PART?!?!!! HOLYYYYYY HELL ALL SEVEN WONDERS OF THE EARTH!!!
as someone who's never really felt comfortable with my body (i used to dance before, indian classical and some western, i dropped right after 10th grade lol) it gave me so much joy to see pete find his self through pole dancing! especially the bit where he , yanno, finds that balance between feminine and masculine and just ghsshhssjsj i love this man.
also the fishnet ripping??? fuck yeahhhhhhh
vegas should be regularly put in horny jail though, because damn, i love that man, his dialogues are hilarious and so fucking adorable, especially when he walks in on macau helping pete hahahahahah
thank you for writing!! i enjoyed it loads! 💓💓
getting these asks back to back was a delight 🥰 i'm so glad you liked both of them
i spent a very long time thinking about canon pete and how he could ever reach the point of being able to do a performance art like pole and i think the idea of being comfortable in his body and in his presentation would come up really quickly. it makes me really happy to know how many people enjoyed and identified with that bit 🥹 it is a shared dance struggle
lu, it's 6 am, i finished reading "baby got bounce" and I AM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH THAT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD I COULD DIE
like, not to be obscene, but build has that ass yanno? the round jiggly one and that whole safe house scene where vegas essentially gets down on his knees to WORSHIP it (we all know he's an ass man 👀)
this fic just makes that so much better!!!
and i was thinking, while reading, "damn, i wish he was wearing a jockstrap" and IMAGINE MY SQUEAL WHEN YOU FED US YASSSSSSSSSSSS
hottest piece of fiction ever
thank you for writing! on to banana split now! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
omg i am very happy that you liked it 😂
it is definitely a not-so-secret love letter to pete's / biu's butt, which deserves to be thoroughly appreciated 😏 i was very feral when i wrote it and i am thrilled to be inflicting that energy on everyone
#also kshdkdhdkdh the jockstrap 😂#listen okay i don't have the same kind of equipment as pete#i figured it might be kind of distracting to have his dick flopping around while twerking LMFAOOOOOO#someone pls let me know if this intuition is correct i am dying to know#hope u liked the jockstrap reveal i am proud of that part 😂😂😂#mine: asks
um. i think this is the worst update ever and i cannot believe it was intentional. why would you make clicking on the reblogged-from's name bring you to the top of their blog and not their reblog. sorry i want to maul whoever thought this was a good idea
Something I found on Twitter that really puts things in perspective as a creator.
always thought it was a shame that they don't have visible wounds after pete's safehouse escape
So @veliseraptor finally posted a fic she finished ages ago that is really something wonderful - and I'm not just saying it because I edited it.
I know you all want to read about Pete saving Vegas from kidnappers as they both try to pretend Vegas has a normal life actually in front of his rich, fancy college friends!
