Adulting. James Lance characters-style.

Making adult moves is stress which is why you must party whenever you can.

People Like Us sequel set 10 years later where a young Izumi is left for dead in the Forbidden Forest, assuming the monsters that dwell there would finish her off. Instead, she's adopted by the Blood Witch and her dragon husband.

Hello, a thought I had whilst delirious at 4am this morning - Some Like It Hot AU with Nat and Arthur. Arthur's less than thrilled to have to pretend to be a girl again. Natalie has all sorts of confusing feelings about being herself all of the time in public after so long hiding. There's hijinks. Shenanigans, even. - Nathan

OH PLEASE that's so many levels of gender fuckery, and I love it so much.

A part of me kinda wants to see how Arthur might find that sort of sweet spot of the feminine-in-the-masculine that drag queens (and Teddy) find and perform in? Kinda like what we talked about before? Because that'd be pretty interesting arc to follow, I think?

Ok but let's be real, Arthur is so Joe-coded, actually, in that he WOULD spend the whole time flitting from one disguise to another, going bigger and bolder each time because, uh, Teddy might've rubbed off on him maybe a little too well.

Meanwhile, Nat's absolutely shitting herself trying not to get found out, which is becoming increasingly difficult when she has a li'l mama's boy millionaire trying his damnedest to get her attention. And she likes it. Not that she's going to ever admit it out loud.

hi :)) PLEASE can you tell me a little of what the plu mafia au is about because those tags on your last post are insane and i am so intrigued

Ohohohohoho @lewis-winters may have been the better person to ask but by God I'm gonna give you the best run down I can.

PLU is our abbreviation for 'People Like Us', which is our OC verse centered around Natalie Morse and Arthur Foster, and the PLU Mafia AU is exactly what it says on the tin, a Mafia AU centered on them. We've built quite a bit of wider lore around them, especially for Winnix, Speirton, and Webgott, which all feature heavily.

With regards to @lewis-winters tags specifically, it's fair to say given the nature of the AU the relationships definitely take on a more... morally complicated?? Flavour??? Than normal??? The short version is that Speirs is a crime boss operating out of Boston, and Lip is his right hand, but also a corrupt cop, which breeds an interesting power dynamic. They could both sink the other whenever it's most convenient, and that's something that hangs over them. In a slightly more romantic sense Speirs knows he'd never have the heart to do anything to Lip, but he'd let Lip tear him to shreds if he chose to. Normally he's vicious, ruthless, but with Lip he leans his head back to give better access to his throat.

(There's also even more complications with an underlying past Speirs/Liebgott semi-unrequited dynamic, but I feel like that requires its own post.)

Winnix is, if you can believe, even darker. They head a prolific and long standing crime dynasty. They have killed for each other. They've also built a family and a respectable outward image. This includes Tab, Dick's protégé and their pseudo-son (they also have a daughter, Bea, who is another of @lewis-winters really wonderful OCs who I recommend checking out in all 'verses). Things start falling apart when Tab is sent to deal with Natalie's rising star in their world, but ends up getting involved with her. There's a long, uneasy, partnership that forms, but eventually the divided loyalties become too much of a risk, and Dick chooses to preserve his and Nix's life over keeping Tab around.

I feel like I've explained all of this very poorly, and I'm so sorry, but I hope that's explained at least some of it? Its been a minute since we've properly talked about it so some stuff I might have gotten wrong or missed. Please feel free to ask more if you want though!

#plu mafia au #bob ocs #thank you for asking seriously its very fun to share #though i apologise if none of this is coherent its a very piecemeal au atm #people like us #sam pls add to this if you can i don't feel like i've done it justice

people like us hit 7,000 hits the other day! that's so crazy to me, since i wrote that fic for myself alone. i anticipated no one reading or caring about it, and the response i've gotten over the years from other people has been more than i ever could have dreamed.

i don't write or draw much anymore. the past few years of my life have essentially been... a lot of traumatic events all back to back to back, and the space that i've mentally been in for a year or so now has not been conducive to my hobbies.

because of this, it's even more incredible to me that even years after the fact, other people still care about this thing that i poured so much of myself into. it may seem silly, but it means the world to me.

i still love akeshima so much, and it's like a little dopamine hit each time i see someone else giving a shit about this silly little rarepair, seeing other people pour themselves into art or fic, or even just headcanons. it makes me so happy to know that someone else cares and experiences that same joy and interest.

in short, thank you thank you thank you, akeshima nation.
