♡ ADAM STANHEIGHT ♡

outcasts finding the homes they truly longed for in one another? it’s more likely than you think. we meet by chance at a wrath of the gods local gig, adam’s there more so out of obligation and the promise of being paid by capturing photos of the show; how much will scott tibbs pay him for this? not much, but hey, whatever puts the cup ramen on his rickety kitchen table. if he had backed out last minute it wouldn’t have brought us together, anyway. chipped black nail polish, literal crumbling shithole of an apartment with peeling wallpaper, holes in the walls and he’s a nihilistic metalhead to boot - yeah, obviously i need him. laughing at shitty horror flicks at 3 am and having our fill of pizza; who knew life could be so comfortable when one wasn’t raging at it? adam was wading through each day beforehand, barely anything to live for, except maybe the stray cat that he feeds at the apartment complex, because he can’t quite stomach the thought of leaving the old tuxedo cat who actually depends on his existence behind (that we end up adopting together). suddenly, enter me, and then there’s actually something worth fucking living for, to wake up for, to not drown himself in sorrows anymore for. together we strive to be better, and when we can’t be better - that’s okay too, we’ll take one another however and whichever way we can. having a soulmate feels warm, a comfortable warmth, and he used to feel so cold.

♡ LAWRENCE GORDON ♡

red flags don't bother me anymore, not when i have fallen in love with doctor medical malpractice himself. after losing quite literally almost everything, what more else could doctor manslaughter possibly gain to lose? he's a jigsaw apprentice, the man john kramer builds up in his image - that is apart of his purpose, his rebirth; but for a laugh, let's throw a pretty young thing in his life and find something that would be worth losing once more. enter scene: dumb australian who thinks older men are really hot, especially when they’re blue eyed blondes who have a distinctly transatlantic accent. we meet at his workplace, and upon first sight it's already game over (badum tss). like a moth to a flame, two deeply broken souls that can finally heal and mend once conjoined and melded together. it’s not exactly peachy to be in a relationship with someone who is a divorced dad who is estranged from his daughter because the ex-wife was too terrified to have her around him anymore, nor is it easy to carry the weight of such a secret as lawrence’s. yet? i’d do anything for him, i’d stop the world. each other's swan songs, his accomplice. we don’t need to hide, we will drown into one another and love each other into flame, even if it stings me.

♡ STEVEN ‘SPECS’ FISHER ♡

the nerdy, star trek obsessed, comic book collector, paranormal investigator of my heart. put two spiritually paranormally inclined clairvoyants together who just so happen to have many things in common and you’ve got something electrifying. steven and i meet through elise, she sees potential in me since her and i share clairvoyance and the ability to astral project, and wants me on the spectral sightings team to help those haunted in need. specs and tucker don’t have many complaints, a girl they can ooh and aww at in the flesh is as good as anything, even when investigating the paranormal alongside each other. steven’s surprised at how charmed i am by him, and sometimes he’s a bit oblivious to it. scratch that, majorly oblivious to the point he psyches himself out and tells himself that i do not reciprocate his feelings because how could i etc etc; but that’s what the help of a team is for (tucker croft, elise rainier and elise’s dog warren to the rescue). after a year of knowing one another, it’s enough, confessions abound, sighs of relief, hearts and shoulders no longer heavy. we’ve got no need for pretences around one another, we can simply just be, and it’s both surreal and liberating.

♡ MARK RENTON ♡

broken beyond repair — or maybe not? a past drug addict comes across a current drug addict, and i really like to pretend that i’m not an addict, that i don’t have a problem; but, oh, i do, and mark’s well aware of it. he’s seen it so many times, has done this song and dance before. our first meeting is at a club in leith. mark renton can’t help himself when it comes to a younger woman, he has to know more, and he gets a little more than he bargained for. what’s a pretty face without a few cracks behind it? mark’s up to the challenge anyway. maybe the codependency we both form with one another isn’t exactly a healthy one, but we’re both past the point of caring. i look to mark with stars in my eyes, like he has the answers for everything and anything right there in the palm of his hand. falling in love with each other was easier than breathing; late night talks, finding relatability — someone who understands, mark stops me from falling, from drowning. we dj together at clubs once i’m clean, and we’ve both never felt so alive. the missing pieces, we finally found in one another.
