I love how some fics are called shit like “They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing” and it’s like the most insane porn you’re ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it’s 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you’ve ever read and they’re both. They’re both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.

I love doing stupid shit with fic titles

I mean MOST of my titles have some sort of wordplay or double meaning because that’s how my brain works, but it’s especially amusing to me when the tone of the title ends up completely different from the tone of the story

Like the one where I took that scene when Flynn accidentally disintegrated the guard in the process of absorbing his red circuit color for disguise, and spun out a headcanon that the guard’s consciousness was actually along for the ride in Flynn’s circuits, seeing everything from his perspective

until that deeply homoerotic scene where Tron holds him by the wrist and looks at him like that while he changes back to his blue color. At which point i headcanon that the red guard was released from Flynn’s body, and rematerialized back where he came from… with his last memory the feel of Tron’s touch on his wrist and that look in his eyes as Flynn’s circuits shift through purple

so of course now the poor guard is now shaken, questioning everything he believed about loyalty to the MCP, now that he’s experienced this glimpse into the lives of those he’d been taught to see as the enemy, how can he go on….

and i fucking called the fic “What’s All In The Wrist Stays In The Wrist.” what’s wrong with me LMAO
