Oh, this was so sweet and I just ache now, but it's so unexpectedly hopeful at the end. They went to get pancakes! Mikey+Pete4eva! Mikey giving Pete his real name! Pete feeling better just from the company. Oh my HEART, seriously.
I also loved the use of sugar and maple syrup. Sweet little dudes!
Pete's struggles with insomnia are so well documented, and I can easily see that feeding into self-worth issues until all he needs to do is get out of his head a while.
I want them to meet again too. They could have some good conversations, not least about why Mikey's brother is pimping him out.
Oh my god, you just made me want a continuation of this so badly, seriously. I love the underlying ust here, how we know they'd be great for each other but they haven't got there yet. Then the mystery of the company and the ease with which Mikey suggests the role playing (hot. I love prostitution fic where there's that idea the prostitute is confident and competent about sex *___*)
It's frustrating having a story where we the reader knows that the pair are perfect, but it doesn't get there. Which suggests that I should write longer but really I'm treating these h/c prompts as an excuse to write stress free and quick.
I see Mikey as an expert at sex, willing to do most things as long as there's control. Like, if they ever do meet up again Pete could be thrown when Mikey's chatting about TV one moment and the next casually offering bondage.
It is! But at the same time, that level of unresolvedness can sometimes make a fic, too. When you go away with your brain churning over the hot possibilities *g*
Um, okay, hi, if you ever wanted to write that scene you would have one avid reader here, no lie :D :D
Daaaamn! Only you could write hookerfic where there is no sex and make me LOVE IT. I feel so hard for Pete, he's so tortured and self hatey. I love the setup of Gerard's, the website, the form, the passphrase, Mikey's keepers watching out for him. And they just eat PANCAKES! And talk geek! And Mikey is exactly the kind of stable grounding presence that Pete needs to set his levels back to zero. Their connection is great and I love love love this incarnation of Mikey. A great introduction to this verse and I'm really keen to read more of it!
Poor Pete, he is so incredibly sad and self hatey and it's a state I suspect he's been in often, especially back in the day.
I've got this whole set-up in my mind about Gerard's organisation, how Ray manages to get them the best tech out there and how Gerard personally vets everyone that wants to get involved and he has these speeches about how liking sex isn't wrong and there's no shame in paying.
Of course that doesn't stop him fretting like crazy when Mikey's out on a job.
The problem is I also have a head full of the much nastier hooker verse /o\

I just loved the idea of them hanging out, until Pete's calmed down enough he can cope again.
Thank you ♥
