I like the hc that Ned's partner might have killed/harmed them in some way? But I was also thinking that maybe her parents rejected her because she's bi...? But that might be too cliche, so maybe not.

Well Travis did say that Aubrey’s parents never cared who she dated. And anyway, I think it’s sort of become TAZ policy that bigotry doesn't exist in their fiction, so I don't think it's that. 

Honestly, I also like the HC that Ned was responsible for Aubrey's parents dying, especially in light of him saying that he abhors violence. It could be that it was an accident, and even that he would have been willing to go to court for robbery, but he ran because of the murder. It's interesting to speculate, and, if it were true, I think it would add a lot of depth to Ned. But right now, I don't think it is true, because I don't think anyone has really been acting the way I'd expect them to if Aubrey's parents had been killed. 

Maybe the biggest thing for me is that it didn't seem like Griffin knew that Aubrey was going to say yes to Danny's question. He seemed surprised, which makes me think that he knows/thinks that Aubrey can go home. And I don't think Travis would hide the fact that Aubrey's parents are dead from Griffin, since they are NPC's under the GM’s control.

And, of course, it's the kind of thing that Clint would also have to know, since you don't usually just say "surprise, your character killed someone, now RP that." And I don't think Clint was playing Ned as someone who had just been involved in a murder. I just believe that he would have included some hint, or acted a little bit less jovial, or something. 

Tagged by the lovely @lunar-winterlude thank you!

ONE song: Burn by Ellie Goulding (just because it’s playing now on a random list and I like it, even if so not my usual genre :D)

TWO movies: Cargo (a slightly different zombie movie with Martin Freeman) & The Hobbit (just because)

THREE tv shows: Game of Thrones, Timeless, The Alienist (Not my favourites necessarily, just the ones I most recently watched)

FOUR video games: Oh gosh I haven’t played anything other than WoW in ages... so uhh old favourites: Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Soul Reaver, Breath of Fire

all i could think of for this was a little one-shot look into a job after the end of distribution and habitat, so i hope this is okay! 

Link fucking lives for this shit. 

Rhett never did get to take his shot that night in Link’s house, so the collision of his fist with Link’s jaw feels a lot like restitution. And god, does the blood on his tongue taste good, knowing that Rhett was the one to cause it. 

The look on Rhett’s face isn’t honest, but it’s convincing enough that anyone who doesn’t know them won’t know. This isn’t exactly how this job was supposed to go, but Link feels alive, feels like his skin is buzzing. And when he ducks out of Rhett’s next swing, lands one of his own in Rhett’s side, he lets out a whooping laugh. 

“Come on,” he eggs, “Hit me, Rhett. Come on, baby.” 

There’s a group watching them, and Link knows not a single one of them have any weapons, all of them rooting for Rhett to win this, not knowing that they’ve already got what they came for. Not knowing they’re a team. 

He’s got the necklace jingling in his pocket. 

And then he’s got Rhett’s huge fist hitting him in the stomach, his mouth by his ear mumbling, “I’ll make it up to you tonight.” 

He doesn’t need to, but Link knows he will. He’ll spend hours making sure Link’s okay, that he doesn’t have any scrapes or cuts, that he puts ice on his mouth, where his lip is already swelling. 

When Rhett steps back, his eyes serious, Link laughs again, says, “Fucking hit me, Rhett.” 

He does. And Link staggers back. 

The gap from here to the car is short, and he knows he’s got to leave now, before Rhett hits him hard enough that he can’t drive. His lungs scream at him as he runs, yelling as he does, laughing and whooping and listening to everyone yell back at him. 

He’ll be home before Rhett. 

45. Favorite TMS segment?

Oh, goodness, there is so much I love. But I guess I have to go with Rhett singing a birthday song to Link and the colors taste test.

48. Does anyone you know in real life watch them?

That was lightning-quick of you!

9. What era do you most like to read about? It’s a tie between present day and childhood... though I would also LOVE to see more fics taking place in the years just after college up until early GMM.

12. What makes you click on a fic? A summary that strikes at my heart for whatever reason. Something that looks like it’s going to go through some angst and turmoil and end up satisfying, fulfilling and happy.

15. A trope or premise you are always up to read? Camping!

I. What fic or author inspired you to start writing fanfic? Easy! @mythical-rhink said she wanted a fic about Rabbit Lightning. I had written a tiny baby fic before that but definitely also because I was exposed to what the fandom here was like via her blog, and wanted to write the kind of fic I hadn’t seen yet (a mostly-platonic fic where Rhett lucid dreams he is Shahbaz and saves Link from an earthquake).

19. What is your native language / homeland famous for?

Well... one of my native languages is not very famous around the world (it’s Catalan), but I think y’all are more familiar with Barcelona, right? :D. The other one is Spanish, and it’s famous for its swear words lmao It can get v creative

23. What language uses the prettiest alphabet?

Well, in High School I studied Ancient Greek, and I fell in love with the letters and how beautiful the alphabet is. Also I think the Hindi and Arabic alphabet are v pretty                I like languages idk

Thank you Sarah <3
