[rivlee]

I have no intention to go to said Reunion, there's only about 1-2 people I'd like to see that I don't still talk to and besdies, I have at least one person per work day go, "Didn't we got to high school togehter?" To which I am

HOOSIER/SKINNY.

YOU ASKED FOR IT.
(can i do two and ask for babe/roe, too? because. d'aww. domestic is sort a staple there.)

i got your christmas card(s) yesterday! and they're definitely going up on my wall, totally made me smile ♥ thank you so much, bb.

[rivlee]

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

(And yes, you may request two. Is there a certain take on babe/roe you'd like to see re: the far too many verses?)

And you're welcome! I'm glad they arrived.

[skylilies]

=D =D =D

(ummm. oh goodness, that's hard. maybe some modern au since we've had a bit of nash and it's probably the other general verse that fits easiest for the prompt q's?) (but you can do whichever you feel like, i love them everywhere;; )

♥

[rivlee]

(I shall go with modern au then!)(though I might get all thinky-thought like and do Nashville too.)(we'll see.)

Hoosier/Skinny, Nashville of course

[rivlee]

Skinny Sisk ran Hoosier Smith’s life and had been doing so for over a decade. It wasn’t a surprise that in their household, he was the one who made sure the bills were paid on time, the utilities were working, that anniversaries and birthdays were remembered, and that there was enough food in the house to keep Hoosier living on something that wasn’t mustard, moldy bread, and three week old milk

Re: Hoosier/Skinny, Nashville of course pt 2

[rivlee]

From the outside it probably didn’t make a whole hell of a lot of sense, but Skinny and Hoosier were just contrary enough that it worked out exceedingly well for them. Hoosier had someone who put up with all his bad habits and Skinny found someone who didn’t try to change who he was at heart. Not that either of them gave a rat’s ass what anyone else though, but it was kind of warped that among their group of friends and colleagues, they were considered the old married couple. Well, except for Nix and Winters, but hell, no one could top that level of co-dependency.

Re: Hoosier/Skinny, Nashville of course

[skylilies]

and Hoosier was used to waking up freezing ass cold because Skinny had stolen all the blankets. All of them. And Hoosier had four on his bed. He generously let Skinny keep them, since he figured he owed him for life.

i just woke up so i'm not very coherent, but all of this is absolutely perfect ;_____; (INCLUDING THE JAB AT NIX AND WINTERS LMFAO.) (AND SKINNY SQUEEZING THE TOOTHPASTE AT THE MIDDLE.) (AND GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.) (AND EVERYTHING, SERIOUSLY.) (GOD I LOVE THIS PAIRING)

Re: Hoosier/Skinny, Nashville of course

[rivlee]

I really do love Hoosier and Skinny in this verse so, you know, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THEM IN MY LIFE. (And the jab at Nix and Winters had to happen, b/c whenever Nix would say something to Hoosier, you'd know he'd just be all, "Dude, REALLY?")

Re: Hoosier/Skinny, Nashville of course

[skylilies]

THEY ARE AMAZING, THEY really, really are. (and hahahaha. oh god, exactly.)

(also Their personalities and relationship together was built on an inherent need to bitch each other out at least once a day. Hoosier’s biggest pet peeve was Skinny’s habit for squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle. Skinny cursed out Hoosier at least once a week for leaving wet towels all over the house. Carwood gleefully referred to them as the Daily Bathroom Wars and claimed a day wasn’t done until one of them argued about toiletry placement. Burgie always asked why they didn’t just use different bathrooms, and he seemed even more stunned when Skinny replied that they did. IS IT WEIRD THAT SKINNY SQUEEZING TOOTHPASTE IN THE MIDDLE JUST MAKES A LOT OF SENSE? lmfao. and burgie being practical and then horribly confused at the response /sob)

Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 1

[rivlee]

There is no spooning in the bed of Babe and Gene. Babe is an unrepentant flopper and Gene’s crazy hours mean it’s a rare occasion when they fall asleep and wake up together, much less spend a full night’s sleep curled around each other. Hell, Babe’s usually getting home from work when Gene’s getting up to leave, and on the rare days they share the bed together, spooning is pretty damn far from their minds

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[rivlee]

Babe does most of the cleaning by default. Cleaning’s both an essential part of their jobs, but anyway it’s sliced, Babe works the fewer hours. Household chores are left up to everyone, but as for their own room and bathroom, Babe’s got it covered. As much as he love Spina, he doesn’t trust him to stitch up Gene’s head right, if he trips over a pair of wayward jeans and hits his head on a dresser. Really, keeping their bedroom clean is more for Babe’s state of mind than anything else.

The DVR and the Netflix are the domain of the whole house, and Babe and Gene, as the couple, rarely get a say. So they make do with their own movie collection. Babe’s made some noise about getting a DVR for their bedroom, but Gene doesn’t see the point when they don’t watch much TV to begin with outside of Babe’s addiction to Animal PlanetThe house is, for all intents and purposes, in Gene’s name, so he gets the calls whenever anything goes to hell. Either Gene or Merriell have to make the calls to the repair people. They just don’t trust Babe, Spina

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[skylilies]

I WAS GRINNING SO FUCKING WIDE, and then that last paragraph sort of broke my heart ;______;

ALSO GENE'S PHOTOGRAPHY. AND FIGHTING OVER HOW TO PRONOUNCE WATER (which seriously is ridiculous but totally something i can picture lmfao) AND THE THINGS THAT SNAFU HAS SAID TO SID. (/died at that quote, seriously.) and babe keeping things clean in their personal space because he doesn't trust anyone with gene's health. and the big arguments;; and all of it /coos.

goodness i love these boys.

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[rivlee]

I AM GLAD YOU LIKED IT.

Seriously, I don't write Babe/Roe for ages and then I do and I'm full of warm fuzzies even with some of the bittersweet b/c of, you know, Julian.

They are my OTP to end all OTPS. They are ridic and adorable and kind of messed up, and they come with a Snafu and a Bill, but I just adore them so much.

(Also, yes, Snafu and his words to Sid. He tried to be all polite when they first met but once Sid moved into the house, he got treated just like everyone else.)

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[skylilies]

...i'm trying to figure out how snafu and bill interaction goes down.

seriously, they are just one of those inevitable OTPs.... they can't not happen, no matter what verse or whatever other pairings are thrown in. 8| AND THEY ARE ALL WARM AND FUZZY AND RIDICULOUS AND YES, MESSED UP but i like this in pairings, BUT IT WORKS. /coos more.

(week one; sid: that merriell doesn't seem all that strange why does heffron keep laughing at me when i say something about this. week two; sid: OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO EUGENE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WENT OFF THE DEEP END. I'M CONCERNED, I'M GOING TO GO CALL YOUR MOTHER.)

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[rivlee]

I just have this image of when Snafu and Bill first meeting, they both just stare each other down until Snafu nods and goes, "You'll do." And Bill responds with, "Well, thank you for giving a shit." or something.

They really are just complete end game.

(omg, YES, to all of this. Seriousy, poor, poor Sid.)

Re: Babe/Roe Modern AU pt. 2

[skylilies]

hahahaha. YES. and then once they get really drunk and bond.

(it's like sid's theme song has become that birthday tune hoosier sang to him.)
