BB YOU COULD BE GONE FOR AN ACTUAL MILLION YEARS AND IF WE WERE BRAINS IN JARS AND YOU FOUND ME AGAIN I WOULD JUST BE LIKE, OH HAI, ILU, TAGGED ALONG ON ANY GOOD BIKE TRIPS LATELY? And so on.

I hope you are welll and I love this meme and I am gonna ANSWER ALL OF THOSE, but not all at once, and BBM fic is going to be fix-it and not end in angst and death, kthx.

Somehow I think Batman REALLY WANTS TO BE A WESTERN, actually, and I have the art somewhere to prove it.

OKAY, SO.

Ennis and Jack work at this shitty call center, and neither of them is very good at it, nor do they particularly like it. Ennis is low on options, though--or so he believes--because he just barely barely graduated high school and he's only ever done odd jobs that he can't even really put on a resume. And Jack, Jack had this band he was in? So he dropped out of college because, band. Then his parents sort of freaked and disowned him because he was supposed to be the first in the family to graduate college, and, well, he was like FUCK YOU PARENTS IMMA GO ON TOUR, and then the lead singer totally did a bunch of drugs and ripped off a bunch of fans with merch sales and generally stopped making shows and started puking all over stage and really also their music sucked, so: the band broke up ( ... )

This pattern continues for a few days (the thing lasts a week) and one night they decide to tear up the room, because: PARTYING LIKE ROCK STARS, ALL RIGHT. So they jump up and down on one of the beds until they decide they are spilling too much booze, so they stop to drink some more. But it turns out they totally wrecked the fucking bed, and Ennis is trying to pass out on it but he's drunk enough to make little whiny noises about how much it sucks, until Jack is like GODDAMNIT ENNIS and Ennis is like I GOT THIS and 20 minutes later Jack is all, LIKE FUCK YOU DO, GET OVER HERE OR I AM GOING TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE SO I CAN GET SOME SLEEP ( ... )

Then Ennis is ripping at his jeans and then tearing at his own belt buckle and Jack shivers so hard he thinks he could come right then, and his toes would curl and pop out of his (scuffed punk rockerish) boots.

Ennis fucks him without finesse, but that's the point. Jack's always liked it a little rough, liked it when girls scratched and bit, and even though this is something fucking else entirely, and it hurts so fucking much--

Fuck.

He bucks up against Ennis, but only a little because he's pretty sure he's supposed to be pretending he's not enjoying this. He's making these little choked half sobby noises and biting into his lip and bracing his arms against the bed and Ennis is fucking him and Ennis is fucking him and Ennis is fucking him and making choked sounds that escape from that tight closed mouth that rations out smiles like there's a global shortage and Ennis is fucking him and holding him down and it takes him completely by surprise but Jack comes first, hot and messy and wild. He shouts with the shock of it, blue eyes ( ... )

Re: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN OFFICE!AU: Bright Future in Sales - 4 - (NOW WITH MORE HEARTACHE) zombieboyband August 24 2011, 02:51:21 UTC

But Ennis is eventually, like, so, uh, I'VE GOT ENOUGH MONEY TO GET MARRIED. And Jack is so fucking heartbroken and shell shocked (how could Ennis possibly have intended this the whole time?) and he's like, uh. Well. Congrats, I guess ( ... )

So he scrapes himself back together and then decides: FUCK IT, I'M MOVING TO NEW YORK. Just as a symbolism thing. And, like, he posts on facebook about it and uploads pictures of his tiny ass (but AWESOME) apartment and he's just like, fuck it, I'm living more me, and maaaybe someone needs a drummer here ( ... )

HOLY SHIT. I DID NOT GET THIS IN MY INBOX. WTF WHY /STARTS READING

Re: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN OFFICE!AU: Bright Future in Sales - 5 - (NOW WITH MORE FIXIT) uniformly August 24 2011, 03:05:50 UTC

JFKLSDJFKDSJFKLJSDKLF';EKLW WORDS. WHAT ARE THEY. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT WORK, TURNED OFF MY MUSIC AND HUNCHED IN FRONT OF MY SCREEN AND READ THE HELL OUT OF THIS.

HOLY SHIT. EVEN IN A QUICK RUN DOWN THERE ARE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS AND ENNIS, YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT THIS GAME.

And Ennis looks so godawful that Jack loses his shit and laughing is probably the wrong thing to do because he wheezes out, I don't even have a ring, fuck, what the fuck is my life, I'm in a shitty band and I kind of don't have too much to offer you but Ennis, I would totally marry your stupid face any day of the week.

And Ennis is like, what the fuck does that even mean?

And Jack is like, it means we're fucking engaged, fuck you. I have a cupcake topper somewhere, I think it's a ring, wait there.

MY HEART

Re: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN OFFICE!AU: Bright Future in Sales - 5 - (NOW WITH MORE FIXIT) zombieboyband August 24 2011, 03:13:22 UTC

THE REASON MY CREATIVE LIFE IS CHAOS/SHAMBLES IS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT MY "OUTLINES" LOOK LIKE, BUT WITH MORE BULLET POINTS. Like exactly the same shit in run on sentences, but randomly in bullet points.

I AM GLAD YOU LIKED MAGICAL MARRIAGE RESOLUTION. I mean, what the fuck, it's like 40 years later; Jack would probably get his sexuality shit in order in an accepting environment and Ennis, what the hell, Ennis. YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT THIS GAME AT ALL. But Jack, if more self confident, would totally just be able to bulldozer him into domestic bliss, okay.

Also: in my head, it's a Batman cupcake topper ring, because I have one. And why not.

ALSO I LOOOVE YOU.

kdsfjk, bb. This is how my fic is created (if I bother outlining at all):

Re: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN OFFICE!AU: Bright Future in Sales - 5 - (NOW WITH MORE FIXIT) zombieboyband August 24 2011, 03:26:06 UTC

(research, pretty sure it's bad to be shot like that.)

Dude, I'm supposed to be asleep right now and I just LOST IT, omg. I love you and your outline and "war is over" and ALL GOOD AND ALL BRO, which should be like how we sign off on conversations or something.

ENDS WITH LECKIE'S WEDDING.

I love you forevvver, really. I should probably let you go back to work though. And take myself to bed? Something like that.

Re: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN OFFICE!AU: Bright Future in Sales - 5 - (NOW WITH MORE FIXIT) uniformly August 24 2011, 03:31:03 UTC

I'm technically just finishing up lunch, but then, yeah, I should go and pay attention to these creditors. YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE, BB. Have a good night and talk to you soon.

ALL GOOD AND ALL BRO. OO-RAH /BROFIST
