For highly personal reasons, I do in fact yearn for a Brio edit to the bridge of imgonnagetyouback and specifically matching up “even if it’s handcuffed, I’m leaving here with you” to this specific scene:

cryptic pregnancy fic nobody asked for, but i provided it anyway

-

go to the ends of the earth for you

Trying to keep from succumbing to her fatigue and ebbing cramping, she zoned into her work, not hearing Rio walk in, “Imma need you to speed things up. Don’t know what the hell's been up with you this month, but I’m getting tired of waiting around all the time.”

She sighed and rolled her eyes at him, “You know, instead of bitching at me all the time, you could, I don’t know, help? I’m sick of carrying so much weight on my shoulders all the time. I’m exhausted, and I’ve been feeling like shit all day.”

Rio stepped behind her, his chest pressing into her shoulders, “I ain’t ask about none of that. I asked you to do ya job.”

A combination of flutters and extreme pain washed over Beth as she suddenly felt the need to sit down. She winced, sucking in a breath through her now gritted teeth. Before she could say anything, Rio whispered into her ear, “Damn, ma. You uncomfortable around me now?”

First chapter of my Mamma Mia x Brio fic is up.

Very obviously AU. Something fun and silly. Follows the same storyline as Mamma Mia, with some Good Girls characters not existing within the fic and some existing, but not having the same relation to certain characters as they do in the show.

It’s Thursday. Dean is running late, as usual. Beth works her fingers to bone seven days a week and he can’t be bothered to make it home on time. The most irritating thing is she’s not leaving the house to do anything fun. She’s leaving the house for her weekly PTA meeting. Two and half hours of listening to Margaret and Stacy brag about their mediocre kids. Beth didn’t particularly enjoy it, but it gave her a chance to get out of the house and socialize with other adults.

Beth was having a difficult time enjoying anything lately. Her crafts, baking, and gardening had become more of a chore than a hobby. She felt herself morphing into the same stepford bitches she used to laugh at.

Where did I lose myself? She wondered as she waited for the most unreliable person in her life. She lets out an irritated sigh as she hears her husband's car pull into the driveway.

“Hey Bethie”

He’s trudging into the living room. One hand holding his briefcase, the other holding his jacket and a six pack of beer. Shirt untucked, tie mostly undone and lazily hanging from his neck.

When did he start becoming a nuisance instead of a husband?

*******

Hello Everyone,

✅both are married to terrible men that don’t deserve them (Joel & Dean)

✅both are obsessed with projecting “the perfect life”, “the perfect family”

✅both had husbands that cheated with barely legal airheads

✅after both of their lives collapsed, they found unconventional career choices that got the into trouble with the law (comedy & crime)

✅both had passionate love affairs with men that truly valued & saw them (Lenny & Rio)

I’m sure there’s more, but these are the ones that stood out the most.
