the kim arc. or at least, i'd change how they did it so much that it would functionally be a different story, lol.

the thing is, that whole bit seemed to grow out of wanting to work with devin kelly again, and maybe as an impetus to drive chris away, but it kinda fails to stick the landing on the 'eddie grappling with his grief over shannon' aspect, as well as the 'eddie's general apathy and mixed feelings about every relationship he's had since shannon' aspect. if they were going to use shannon's ghost/image in that way, i would have liked for them to dig into those feelings; if it was just a way to drive a serious wedge between eddie and chris, i would have liked them to either deal with that at some point during the resolution, or use something different as a catastrophic fuckup on eddie's part. also, tbh, if they were going to have eddie cheat and get caught by his kid and girlfriend, i wish they had gone all in on it, instead of trying to pull back and make it so eddie was just a victim of bad timing, circumstances, and kim's sudden turn into batshit crazy.

but fundamentally, i think pulling so closely from 'vertigo' was just never going to work in the context of this show. or at least, in this case i don't think it did.

if your town is called "snow falls" you shouldn't shut down for a "storm" of like three inches

What is their favorite feature of their partner?

Miller is stupidly weak for Monty’s smile. It’s bright and absurdly cute, dimpling his cheeks, so powerful in its sheer sunniness that it always makes Miller want to smile, too. (So basically: very powerful.)

Monty loves Miller’s smile too, of course—it’s like a goddamn rainbow; rare and fast and beautiful—but he has a particularly big weakness for Miller’s hands. They’re broad and calloused, and Monty’s noticed that when Miller gets close to someone, they tend to be everywhere: on Monty’s back when they walk through the halls, on his knee as they eat, splayed across his chest as they sleep. He’d never realized Miller could be so tactile a person, but he’s definitely not complaining.

If You Wanna Reach Me by @ponyregrets

Clarke: So yeah, in the dream it's like We're in New York, I think. I'm not really sure, but you know how it is when it's a dream and you just know something. So we're in New York.

Jasper: whos we??????

Clarke: Most of us, I think? It's always kind of hard to remember when it's a dream. Like I just thought "everyone's here!" but I mostly interacted with Bellamy.

Raven: did u mean: real life

Clarke: SO we're in New York, which isn't actually plot relevant But there was a lot of neon so that was cool And there's this huge crisis Alien invasion maybe??

Monty: That means New York was plot relevant. If I've learned one thing from pop culture it's that aliens are always invading New York.

Jasper: tru

YES omg that was such a niche fic for me but also one i am most proud of actually?? it just CAME to me and i had to write it. but seriously the scene where clarke is going all godzilla on the palace is one of my best pieces of description, imo, so i’m pleased you like this one :)

p.s. i can never remember the name of my own fics so YOU GO for finding that lol

love is love is love is love
