Probably of interest to like, 2.7 people, but lots of fun to make. And now I am behind on the studying thing again and will have drop this like I did Batman. *mourns*
Wendy and Tyler are soul mates. They have everything in common and are really cute together. Tyler is perfect - he cooks, loves zombie movies and computer games, is hero material and is totally understanding about Wendy's mysterious job that inevitably screws up their dates. And everything's played out on the screen, right up to the declarations of love...
The Middleman and Lacey, however, are STAR-CROSSED LOVERS...
OMG is that your boss?
The power of a Randolph Scott movie...
The Middleman is all noble and self-sacrificing! and tragic!! Oh noes, Lacey would be in danger if they were together!!!
A magic spell has revealed that it is indeed TRUE LOVE between MM and Lacey!!!
Wendy wants to know why MM tells her to follow her heart and be with Tyler when he won’t do the same with Lacey.
*DUN DUN DUN* The Middleman reveals that he loves two women.
I did not immediately assume that the other woman was Wendy, despite the staring, because I was taken in by MM’s ongoing ‘look upon me as a brother’ and ‘I regard you as kind of a little sister’ motif which had trained me not to ship them and because Wendy and Tyler are happy in love and also because I did not realise that there was only a couple more episodes left and assumed we’d find out the identity of the other woman.
Now I’m TORN. Lacey and Wendy are devoted to each other - the only reason I don’t slash them is because of how they are canonically in love with men and so I could totally be on board with MM/Lacey/Wendy (omg so pretty), except for HOW THERE IS TYLER,
who does not deserve to be kicked to the kerb just because he's IN THE WAY.
I need fic to make it better. Or a second season of The Middleman.
Oh well, at least in the Mirror Universe, MM and Lacey get to live happily ever after. We hope.
And Lacey looks HOT LIKE MOLTEN LAVA in her Middleman uniform. I'm just sayin'.
