The Cold, Cold Streets of Fandom | Afternoon, Despite the Dark, Dark Darkness Overhead

It was nearly the end of the lunch hour, and Topher still hadn't met his quota.

Ever since he had been turned out onto the street by his one-time benefactor, Topher had been forced to satisfy a set amount of clients per day. Despite hating every minute of it, Topher had watched as his life became an endless routine of john after john, spending ( Read more... )

From his spot near the lamppost, thumbs tucked into the waistband of his painted-on jeans, Jimmy watched the kid. It was heartbreaking, but you had to distance yourself in this business, remind yourself you couldn't, it was dog-eat-dog out here, and no one could afford to watch out for the miniature spoodles.

Not when you were looking to bring down the pit-bulls.

Sad Rent Boy Topher approached the guy, aiming for an air of
cool sullenness.

"Hey," he said, pouting out his lips. "You up for a good time?"

His voice broke on that last bit. HE WAS SO YOUNG.

Today, the part of Tony Stark will be played by singing sensation: Darren Criss.

"Christopher..." Oh, he remembered when they were young and innocent and there was still sunshine out. It was like it was yesterday...

Sweet, sweet memories.

Topher approached Tony with his head down, ashamed of the path his life had taken.

"Tony," he said. His voice was laden with sorrow.

"What happened to you?" He had plans to enact, but he couldn't help but linger on the poor lost soul of a former friend.

And think fondly of those summers in the Swiss Alps. Because everyone went to the French Alps and he was different.

"You need to be quiet," Topher hissed. "The Russian. She'll see you."

And that would be terrible.

"Topherrrr, my leetle babushka, do you haf happy news for Kenzi?"

She possibly sounded liked she wouldn't mind if he didn't. The accent got randomly thicker. "Tell me you haf been working hard, like good boy!"

"I'm t-t-trying, miss," Topher sniffled. Then, ducking his head in a flinch, he corrected himself. "I mean. Babulyeh."

Kenzi shook her finger at him playfully. "Tryink is not doink, Topherrr." Her voice became randomly more German sounding. "Would help if you did not look like drowned puppy! Who vants sex with DROWNED PUPPY?!"

"I ha-ha-haven't showered, Babulyeh," Topher stammered by way of a defense. THE WETNESS WAS JUST HIS TEARS.

No, fair viewers, it was not Ben Skywalker, scorned heir to a multi-billion dollar company!

It was Benina (shut up, it was so a name) in a Cunning Disguise, coming to see what kind of gossip he could learn from this poor, sad rentboy.

This poor, sad, familiar rentboy.

"Hey there, sailor," he said. "How much for a little fun?"

Poor Sad Familiar Rentboy Topher was conflicted. On the one hand, money! On the other hand... he loved Tony! Tony alone!

So he concocted a plan! A plan to learn what he could from Tony's archrival!

"Three hundred," he said, attempting a flirtatious smile.
He did not love Tony enough to do it for free.

"Would you prefer payment in cash, coffee, or diamonds?" Benina asked, completely blowing his cover.

No one but Skywalkers paid for things in diamonds.

Topher was a genius, you see. So this diamond clue resonated! This was the evil Skywalker who caused his Tony so much pain!

"Where will you get these diamonds?" he inquired not-so-subtlely. Playing the role of the curious, eager hooker, he pleaded, "Can I seeeeee?"

Okay, the streets certainly looked darker than she expected. And a bit chillier. But that was no reason to miss out on this much high-grade comedy.

"Hi," George said, trying to look serious. "Listen, I'm a well-respected filmmaker, trying to make a documentary about --"

Shit. She had no idea what this particular guy thought he was doing, or even if he maybe thought he was the Queen of Spain right now.

"-- this subject, handled sensitively," she lied, instead. "Can I interview you?"

Topher frowned. "But my mother might see it," he protested. "My poor, ailing mama. She'd be so disappointed."

"It's going to be a really select release," George promised. "Just at Sundance, and then aired late at night on the expensive premium channels. Possibly only in Europe. Your mom's not in Europe, is she?"

"Nooooo..."

Topher thought about it. Hey, maybe if he was a movie star, Tony would like him more!

"Okay, go."
