hahahaha! yes, okay, thank you <3

so wife and i were watching a ton of queer eye for, like, happiness reasons. and i, as i do, started formulating a queer eye au. but i told her i wasn't gonna write it! and i wasn't! but then... and she shares access to my wips folder because she does all my editing. so that's why i named it that.

but it very much is a queer eye fic, in which wwx is a software engineer who has a lot of money but never takes care of himself. he's just moved himself and a'yuan into a split family house with wen qing, wen ning, and wen popo in the other half, but he's done absolutely no decorating in his house except for a'yuan's stuff. also he runs a community garden. also he's 33 but he still dresses like he's in college. also he has abandonment issues and struggles to believe he's worthy of love unless he's doing something for someone else. anyway, you get it.

so, wen qing and wen ning nominate him and the fab 5 come in and do their thing! it's not complicated. just sweet. and there's hints of wangxian throughout. karamo gathers all the friends at one point to do that thing where they sit in a circle and tell wwx he's loved. wx will probably finally kiss at the episode ending house warming party thing. lwj will definitely check out wwx's ass in his new jeans. but it really is all about getting wwx the self-love he deserves. and to make him prioritize himself for once.

but because i told wife i wasn't going to write it, it's basically just an outline with a few dialogue snippets, so i don't have much prose to give you... but here's a moment from the wens' nomination interview:

WEN QING (Friend/Nominator) and WEN NING (Friend/Nominator) sit together at an oak dining table. Family pictures cover the wall behind them. Wei Ying features in many if not most of them. WQ: How would I describe Wei Ying as a person? WN: Ying-ge is... a very giving person. WQ: Giving? He's the fucking Giving Tree! I once saw him literally hand a man the shirt off his back.

i kind of envision it in the style of After the Final Rose by azurewaxwing where i do the episode, but also some extra bits to kind of round it out some more :)

thank you <3

Wait what????the number of rich organized crime...

@odderancy I don’t want to keep reblogging the long post onto people’s dash, but to explain the rich crime family kids comment, so Glasgow, like any major city in the world, has organized crime. Some people get quite wealthy from that kind of thing, and they move out to the suburbs or even the countryside proper, buy a nice house, and send their kids to nice schools outside the cities.

I went to one of those schools, it was an old fashioned grammar type place, which in the UK means you either need to be rich or smart to get in. They’d actually just become a regular comprehensive when I joined so it was open to everyone, but the reputation was still there so you had all these hardened criminal types wanting to send their kids to the posh school out in the middle of nowhere so that they’d have a chance at getting a good education and getting “out”.

I’m told the PTA meetings could get really intense sometimes.

“REALLY? KETCHUP? ON SPAGHETTI? BUT THAT’S SO … SO …”

“good?”

“NO! IT’S NOT GOOD! IT’S DISGUSTING!”

“but millions of people do it, bro.”

“BUT IT’S STILL DISGUSTING!”

“why? you put marinara sauce on your spaghetti.”

“YES, BECAUSE MARINARA SAUCE IS A REFINED FOOD PRODUCT MEANTTO BE PLACED ON PASTA!”

“doesnt look that refined. it looks lumpy.”

“IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY! THOSE ARE THE REFINED …VEGETABLES!”

“i dont think vegetables are refined, bro.”

“IT’S MORE REFINED THAN KETCHUP!”

“actually, ketchup’s been processed a lot more than marinarasauce, so if you wanna be technical, ketchup’s actually more refin—”

“IT’S STILL GROSS!”

I kiiinda got distracked and instead drew him with his dog in his garden
