Kendall being this powerful dominant billionaire who becomes fully obsessed with this random working class guy who only became a person to him after they survive this random trauma is intriguing. The waiter is basically a blank slate you can do anything with but I like the idea of you borrowing from your Sam fic and having the waiter become this guy who is willing to do anything and turn himself into someone’s attack dog.

I especially see a similar power play here, because the waiter would have inordinate power over Kendall via the knowledge he has of Kendall's dark side, but Kendall is also being so much fun as a dom and someone to hang out with and use with that he really can't bring himself to do it even for the kind of payday he might get from Logan for the betrayal or even a settlement. Sugar baby it is. Kendall knows he's in a bad situation but damn if this guy's not cute and really very attractive when he's a total asshole and a brat. Starting from a weird situation doesn't mean things can't get real, I've learned that one.

Maybe the waiter is also a dealer?

I had always assumed he was - Kendall did, too, if you look how he gravitated towards him either fully expecting a hookup to a dealer or the deal itself. Having the drugs immediately on hand is kind of a giveaway, too. But I could be wrong. It's more fun if he is and not just a casual user, and Kendall dips into some dangerous territory before they both stabilize. (I say fun.)

Having to adapt to a corporate world after that... wow. That's a story, too.

Kendall/waiter anon: I was thinking about something where either the crash doesn’t happen and Kendall lets the waiter “kidnap” him for a one night stand that turns into more OR the crash still happens but the waiter doesn’t die and to keep things under wraps they offer to pay the waiter off. But maybe the waiter is opportunistic so he manages to turn a potential pay off into a job offer of some kind. Whatever goes down I think a fic where Kendall is involved with someone working class and this guy trying to navigate this world wound be interesting.

That is actually very different from the usual as a concept and therefore interesting to me. The second gives me Roman/Ratfucker Sam vibes, in a way, which is appealing. It also lets the waiter follow him from England - he certainly doesn't have a job or anything but a family holding him back from jaunting across the ocean to follow a job opportunity, not to mention a rich and powerful guy who he's surprised to find isn't ignoring him the way he definitely could be.

Potential. It's going in my document.

Would you consider an au about Kendall and the waiter?

You have my attention, but clarify? Is this a Kendall/Waiter prompt?

I think there's something to the car crash going differently and everyone surviving but not without some physical damage, either way. That's the kind of thing that could bond you in either resentment or something more intense borne from trauma. Also, the concept of the two of them ever speaking again after a survival from the crash implies that Kendall actually feels enough connection or guilt to actually interact with a peon so far below him it's not even funny. The kind of emotion that could actively break through that barrier between the Roys and the help would be a different one from anything Kendall's ever reached - platonic or romantic.

(If I said I thought there weren't vibes between the two of them, I'd be lying, but Kendall has lost all benefit of the doubt with 'could it? is it gay?' after that conversation with Nate. Man is bi, and I'm not just saying that because I like writing gay sex.)

Back to pure Romestewy. I'm so excited. This one has been close to my heart for a while so I'm stoked to put words to it. A real classic "boy meets boy's best friend's brother after a long time apart and romance ensues" story.

*chanting* happy ending! happy ending!

Can't say I'm not leaning towards it. We're in the realm of "based on" here anyway! It's definitely not a 1:1 adaptation. If this plotline was in a reboot the fans would roast me.

I did the math and in Succession fandom I've written 26 stories, only 2 with downer endings. Let that say what it might, I suppose.

love the new fic!!!!! looking forward to meeting jeryd. will your fic have a similar ending to fleabag?

I'm so glad, thank you! <3 <3 I'm speeding up the plotline of the show some so we can get to Priest/Roman, but a lot of it wouldn't have really meshed anyway. I'm excited to get to him, too.

Ah, the ending. I'm still debating that. I don't like writing downer endings in my romance when I can, but who knows, it might be poignant. I guess the answer is I'm going to see what feels right when I get closer to that time. (Knowing that the Priest semi-canonically holds a torch too is a little bit of motivation to fix the ending, I'll say that.)

Ch 6 of "the only road i've ever been down", Nacho/Lalo, Jesse/Jane, rated E. Part of an AU where Nacho and Lalo saw visions of the future and allied to take down Gus Fring to run Albuquerque, folding in the events of Breaking Bad and Jesse and Walter. In this chapter, Jesse and Walter's plot plays out, and Nacho and Lalo have to deal with the consequences.

Ch 1 of "a bite of the apple," Roman/Mencken, brief Roman/OFC, rated E. An AU based on the TV series "Fleabag," which gives us a broken and cynical Roman meeting and sparking a wild connection with a very different kind of priest in Jeryd Mencken. This chapter establishes a few things; we'll meet Jeryd next chapter, but join me when you can.

everything I wanted by Billie Eilish= Bea vibes

Yes, absolutely. Officially. "Like I'm not just somebody's daughter" got me specifically, but there's much more than that there. The search for meaning and self and the struggle to get there, again, absolutely.

Nothing wrong with taking a break

Thank you - it's definitely necessary on occasion to sit back and read and stay off Google Drive for a bit, that's for sure. I really enjoy writing and I never want it to feel like a chore.

Completed what I think is my fourth slate - hard to keep track when some stuff overlapped slates, but that's my guess. That last slate clocked in at over half a million words, which would probably explain why I'm currently so desperately in need of a break. Burnout is not welcome here.

I posted about a fic idea I had a couple of days ago, but I think I've decided against it. Maybe it's straight into the slate. I suppose I was just nervous going into a new crop.

I may wait until later this week to start writing again, just so I'm not knotted up about it. I've just been working hard lately and, whew. Some breathing room might be good.

I know you said you were done with dkau but I gotta say I loved the Bea future fic and I think you could do sequel stuff from Logan and Alexander’s pov. Maybe when they’re college age or in their twenties? Just a thought.

Oh wow, this is great, thank you 😭 it's such a weird little niche fic that I'm so grateful. These actually sound really interesting, because Logan was so interesting to explore and Alex has such potential. I mean for Alex to become an actor and Logan a lawyer, so they're very different but still very close. Those are my earliest thoughts, though!

Hit with the maybe-irresistible urge to write what would decisively be a one-shot. It would delay the next slate, but I've spent a lot of time offhandedly thinking of this pairing and how it imploded, and I think it's about time that I dig into at least one version of the events. Roman/Grace is a mystery in canon and I want to explore it. I can't imagine it would cause that much of a delay - certainly not as much of a delay as the (probably) one-shot Tomgreg I'm looking at would.

I don't know, I'm just rambling to myself at this point, but there's a good chance I'll take a break to write a one-shot before the next slate starts.
