Go baby, go baby!

i've seen faint vague whisperings that matty beniers could be moved from seattle and if so oh-hohohoho. there's also been stuff about the flyers potentially going after larkin and imo they should not do that and get matty instead. younger & more room to grow, would fit with the flyers locker room, and obvs there's the trevor ntdp connection. i think he'd love being on the east coast again and he'd be nearer briss. everyone wins!

I honestly think Jack pretends like Dixie never happened. It was a weird time for their friendship and to admit or hint towards him being smug that tate is more famous than dixie would be crass. i would also like to think trevor has enough complicated feelings about that relationship and the clear mess that is the d'amelio family to not engage and to take the opportunity of mostly breezing right past it. but there are moments where they look at each other when jack mentions some club that tate was at in la and starts explaining where it is or w/e and trevor just says yeah. i know i've been. with dixie. and there's a pause. and then they just move on. and jack is kind of irritated about having his chance to subtly show off ruined. but, crucially, no one says anything!

i've been binge watching rivals on hulu this weekend which has made me want to write something vaguely period again.... keep thinking about 80s trevor and a fic set in michigan in the summer (jamie's there with his parents who moved or somehting? idk handwave) and they meet at a party at the hughes house bc it's a local spot for all the young people. trevor's wearing these high waisted denim shorts and her bikini top and her hair's crinkly with lake water and she's got all this smudged blue eyeshadow and blue mascara on, dancing barefeet on the grass, kind of messy, but she's the most electric girl jamie's ever seen. trevor getting yelled at by jack and luke because she keeps hogging the landline to talk to jamie in the evenings after he gets in from work (at a local diner?) days on the lake where trevor steals jamie's button downs and wears them open over her crop tops as cover ups..... she has this collection of band tees jamie thinks is the coolest and trevor burns him mix tapes he listens to in his room with the window open feeling crazy insane about her. she's going to boston to college in the fall and jamie's still in high school and he feels so incredibly out of his depth...... i think they don't even kiss for weeks and jamie's going out of his mind about it, until trevor turns up at the diner one night and announces that she's walking jamie home, which he finds amusing, and when they're hovering in the drive down to jamie's parents house she kisses him and asks to stay the night - blushing for the first time - not even to have sex, just because the hughes house gets a little loud sometimes, and she loves them she does, but she kind of wants a break yanno? (trevor and jack had a yelling match earlier about trevor being no fun when she's obsessed with some guy, but trevor's not going to tell jamie that.) jamie has to sneak her in and he's only got a twin and he's kind of embarrassed because the only sheets they found after the move were really childish ones, but he wakes with trevor wrapped around him and her twisty hair in his mouth and the light coming through the window, and its the best thing ever anyway.

with the caveat that if the ghost of jamie drysdale isn't haunting trevor i'm not interested - my take on quinntrevor is that trevor undergoes a transformation every summer back to the teenage version of himself (some voluntary, some not) and with the knowledge that jamie is not going to be available to him for the foreseaable because they're not really offseason kind of friends (too complicated), trevor throws himself back into the hughes circle. quinn/trevor is delicious to me mostly when you spin it that the jhtz dynamic is increasingly tense/competitive/weirdly-distant-even-though-they-spend-all-this-time-together as they get older (and as jack has a hot girlfriend to show off) (do they talk about the summer trevor also ditched jack & co?) and trevor gets even closer to quinn both naturally and as a silent sort of protest that jack never actually notices. quinn knows that trevor's heart isn't entirely in it, and that this is both trevor trying to get one over on jack, and regressing into something familiar, as a way of avoiding the looming presence of jamie drysdale in his thoughts, and he's mostly okay with it - which is also a massive relief. bear in mind jamie's currently in gta with walmart trevor (aka ryan of cowboy hat picture frame) and his girlfriend and his cat...... probably gonna propose....... meanwhile your best friend is being sort of annoying in a way you can't call him out for without being a hypocrite...... well yeah, i'd fuck my best friend's brother and childhood crush too.
