Can I ask about kissy for the wip game? Thank youu

I hope you have a good day : )

hehe, yes... kissy 💆🏻

and thank you, u too!!! 🌞

This is a very random story but.

A few years ago, before I even knew of the existence of aftg (I read the books this spring), I was looking for a ref on pinterest and found one of your drawings. I didn't know who the characters were but they looked so in love and the pose was so cute that I copied it. I've now just found the screenshot and realized they're Andrew and Neil and started mentally bat-screeching at the coincidence. So yeah. I don't know where I'm going with this but I wanted to say your art is gorgeous and the feelings you showed between them really caught my eye back then. I'm happy to have found it again : )

Here it is: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RA6bDzHB2Mnwdf98i7plK?si=luno0A-PSd6lG0KEZLstLg&pi=1VwVbLGsQN2ep

The song order probably doesn't make much sense to anyone but me, but it's kinda ordered in crescendo from quiet to loud

A lot of the songs are from your post(s) hehe

AHH TYSM

this will be my most listened to playlist just u watch

i'm currently in the beginning of an all-nighter to finish 2 assignments due later today and regretting having put them off for so long

ahh hi!! :D i'm alright! i found an amazon gift card (from like 2 or 3 christmases ago XD) and used it to order a copy of tomodachi life! i'll have to wait till they restock or whatever but! i'm still excited for that. :)

i've also been looking at ebay to find a switch copy of skyrim because clarisse (my laptop) does NOT like to run the steam version. </3 and that's... pretty much all i've done today. well i wrote a tiny bit but. not enough to shake a stick at. :')

OH FUCK i just realized that aftg ita bag's kickstarter is almost over and i dicked around and forgot! gotta go do that

anyway!!!

i had such a hard fucking time finding the first two! looked EVERYWHERE i thought they could possibly be and eventually had to ask an employee for help (which i was scared to do because the last time i did the guy was so mean and rude to me and i was afraid that would happen again but she was so nice and went Right to them immediately XD)

could i request dealer's choice between mafia front and arson neil for this week's wipw? idk how but i totally missed last week's mafia front parts until today and i'm so here for both of themmmm

WIP Wednesday (6/25) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 317)

"You never told me what had you riled up this afternoon," Andrew says towards the end of the meal. Abram stills, his knife halfway through a piece of meat. He sets it down and leans back in his booth.

"Something... bad happened on a few January 19s ago"

"How bad?"

"There was a bloody birthday message and dead animals involved. And, uh, this," Abram's eyes get a bit distant as he puts his fingers to the mottled, circular scars on his cheek. Andrew is so taken aback by that confession, the first bit of the sentence nearly escapes his notice.

"It's your birthday." He says, receiving a little nod.

"Sort of."

"Someone did that to you on your birthday."

"Yeah. Told you my father was a fucked up individual, he kept several of them on his payroll." Abram's fingers are still resting against his cheek.

"They're all dead now. Right?"

A terrible smile stretches Abram's lips. "Yeah."

"Good." Andrew says sincerely. He adds January 19th to his list of facts about Abram. It's a short one, and every new entry is like a piece to a puzzle he'll never solve. He'll collect them anyway.

NEIL

When their empty plates— sans the hideous shrimp Neil wishes he hadn't ordered by accident since he hates wasting food— are whisked away, Andrew asks the waiter for a dessert menu and orders an obscenely large slice of strawberry cake. When it arrives though, he pushes it in front of Neil.

"Wha-"

"Gimme a match," Andrew commands. Neil straightens a bit.

"I don't have..."

"Save it and give me one." Andrew tells him, holding out a couple fingers. Neil slips his hand into his jeans and fishes out his matchbook, relinquishing it to Andrew. The fireman turns his head to make sure no one is watching, then strikes a match and sticks it into the cake, flame side up. The image of Andrew holding a lit match burns into Neil's memory and Andrew gestures at the cake.

"What?"

"It's your birthday, Abram. Make a wish and blow it out." Andrew says. Neil stares at him for a second, then at the flame eating it way down towards their dessert. "C'mon now, before this turns into work for me."

Neil closes his eyes and makes an impossible wish, then blows enough air to smother the tiny fire Andrew lit for him. It doesn't put out the one behind his ribs though. It burns ever brighter as they split the massive slab of cake, turns out seeing Andrew with whipped cream on his mouth does something funny to Neil's insides that he hopes they'll revisit sometime.

When they leave the restaurant, it's no warmer than when they arrived. In fact it's worse than it was, a terrible shame. Neil waits for Andrew to tell him what they're doing next, but the fireman just puts an arm around Neil's waist and pulls him along towards Neil's car. Once they get there Andrew spins him around so his back's against the door.

"It'll be cold in the barn." He says, finger hooked in Neil's belt loop.

"Yeah."

"So?" It's dark, except for the streetlights. Somehow they illuminate Andrew's eyes perfectly. Neil can't look away.

"Can we go?" He asks breathlessly. Andrew blinks, hazel disappearing for a split second. 

tessa!! :D <333

9. favorite time of day and why? night time! like after 10pm. it’s just the best. it’s quiet and the world’s asleep but i’m not! (i also like super early in the morning for the same reason but lately i haven’t seen anything earlier than 10am XD)

20. what do you wish someone would ask you? "do you want 10 million dollars, no strings attached? :)" would be really nice right about now XD
