Bob Says Hello

Can you imagine? She’d be so passive aggressive about it, insisting that he doesn’t need to LIE to his PARENTS, and what does he think they’re going to do? Does he think they’re homophobic?? That’s so HURTFUL! They LOVE him, they just want him to be HONEST! And won’t someone think of poor CHRIS? What does HE think is going on? He must be so CONFUSED!

And Ramon would be there trying to peacekeep, but at the same time being profoundly uncomfortable with the entire business, and just absolutely wishing it’d stayed as something they all low-key knew and just didn’t talk about, actually.

And maybe Pepa is there too, and she’s defending Eddie (because he’s not gonna defend himself) and saying it’s his choice who he tells what when, and it’s his life, he’s allowed to be happy, and we love Evancito, he’s good for Eddie, mama thought so too (god rest her soul).

And Eddie’s just standing there in the middle of it all having an absolute fucking breakdown, because he did NOT know any of this stuff that’s being thrown around about him, and he denies it but no one believes him, because they all think he’s lying to Helena, and Helena’s there setting out her casebook of evidence (“you’re raising a child with him, for god’s sake.” Etc), and that’s his MOM saying all this stuff, so he can’t just ignore it or dismiss it, because it’s his MOM and she Knows him, really knows him, so… what’s he supposed to do??

It would just be the most delicious drama, and I would be absolutely seated.

Not that anybody's expecting any Edie AU content right now, but have a drawing of Edie!Race after the rally.

“A year?” Maddie blurts. “Nine months,” Chris offers, wiggling his hand in a so-so gesture. “You didn’t tell me,” Maddie says. “What was I gonna say, Maddie?” Buck says. He’s got his knee pressed to Eddie’s under the table. He’s got his gaze locked on his mostly clean plate. “My dad died, and my best friend and I got platonically married about it? Be honest with me, how would that have gone over?”

it's DONE!!!!!! the marriage of inconvenience fic has been SO fun to write, but it is finally complete and i am very excited about this last chapter and about what comes next. i hope you all enjoy!!!!

“The point is,” DuBois said, “you are, somehow, special to Ms. Stratt. I had assumed you two were engaged in sexual congress.” My mouth fell agape. “Wha—what?! Are you out of your mind?! No! No way!” Pg 320 Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
