#frankly my favorite TMA gen fic is the McElroy Brothers giving a statement about the clown box from their tv show (via @hound-of-heaven )

"Well, technically three, but I don’t count Martin as he’s unlikely to contribute anything but delays." He doesn't know he's going to fall in love with this man. He doesn't know he's going to walk into the physical manifestation of depression to try and scream at him that he wants him. He doesn't know this man will reject his attempt to run away with him in the cruelest way possible. He doesn't know this man will never leave his side even after he ends the world. He doesn't know this man will the only one he lets touch him and share a bed with him and joke with him as the world burns around him. He doesn't know this man will kill him. He doesn't know that they'll betray each other completely and that they'll decide to risk it all to maybe have a future together anyway. He doesn't know that wherever he goes, Martin goes. That's it. He doesn't know!! He doesn't KNOW!!!
