#im writing alison POV so i don't even have the excuse you do

[mrs-nate-humphrey]

As someone who is currently working on a nate-centric fic I lowkey think it is impossible to write him interacting with anyone without some romantic and/or sexual tension bc he is just Like That. (except maybe Jenny. Jenny and Nate being best buds is the exception that proves the rule)

@mezzoklutz this helps to hear!!!  i think you’re totally right. (also, can i just say about your nate-centric fic..... *screams*)

but honestly, very seriously, the alison-and-nate dynamic, the way i see it, parallels the rufus-and-vanessa dynamic so much. alison and rufus are very ‘see young adults as people, and not as kids’ in the sense that they actually care what people have to say, don’t dismiss people younger than them because they’re young, etc etc, and i feel like for nate specifically it’s an eye-opening moment of ‘oh, someone older than me can see me as their equal’? with vanessa it’s a bit different because rufus is her best friend’s dad but also.. rufus is her best friend? still. there is a parallel in my head.

this fic im writing is strange because dan’s going thru hell and nate is trying to help and alison is just like. anything that makes dan feel better is something i wholly approve of - and i think that’s adding to the vibe a lot, where she’s like ‘you made my son smile! thank you” or whatever...
