Well Played, Internet

Hey you guys!

*waves at new people* Hiheyhello I'm Lal. Lovely to see you. How have your *checks the day* Thursdays been? I spent most of mine eating icepops in the park because I'm English and suspicious of sunshine. It may disappear at any minute! FROLIC HARD.

If you want to add me on Twitter you should because sometimes things like this happen in my feed

BEST. EVER.

Also I have been having a lot of Thoughts about heist!AUs, aka the merry band of conpeople stories of my heart. I'm not sure what it says about me that I cannot get enough of Lying Liars Who Lie but whatever, any kind of AU where people are super smart and kind of criminal is pretty much guaranteed to be my favourite. 

 

So when I saw the original facebook header I was like WHERE IS MY HEIST AU, SOCIAL NETWORK FANDOM? Come on, it would be so amazing. Mark as the head of a tiny criminal gang that everyone underestimates because of their youth and sweet looking faces until they pwn everyone and leave them sobbing in the ashes of their douchy big corporations? Win.

 

Which in turn made me think of this amazing gif of handsomeness, suit porn and fingersandleaningandnggggh. Ahem.

 

 

Inception/TSN? Arthur is like, I think you should tell me more about how that terrible man broke your heart and incidentally about those privacy settings on this "Facebook" thing... (because his research showed that the best way to get to Mark is through Wardo and the best way to get to Wardo is to look smoking hot and be super into him.) Orrr "speaking pointman to pointman". Even though I'm not sure that would be the casting I'd go for but STILL.

Also (Son of Also) it's been nearly two months and I haven't told any New York stories yet. Fail. What would y'all like to hear about?
 

Alsoalso (The Realsoing) I am going to be writing Glee fic for pod_together  and I'm not sure what to write yet so if you have had any wonderful fic ideas/thoughts/prompts throw them this way. I want to write something good because my podfic partner is really awesome *is smug*

I can't get enough of heist AUs either! Mark would be the detached genius planner, making Eduardo be the one to crawl through sewer ducts and charm people into confessing all their secrets, and at some point Wardo gets frustrated and is like "you can do the dirty work too, you know?" but Mark just looks up from his laptop's schematics and says, "but you're so good at being dirty." and Eduardo may be a hardened con, but he blushes anyway because he is also a teenage boy inside.

and then they rob casinos. y/y?

Yay! They are so awesome. This is why Inception fandom is so good for me. All of the cons, all of the time.

YESYESYES OMG and Mark gets all Mark-flustered when Eduardo is wearing his catburgler suit. And Dustin is really good at counting cards, and no-one ever suspects him of being at all dangerous until he's taken them out with a nerve pinch. And then he replays the whole thing over the comms to the rest of the gang. And Eduardo comes from a really serious old school Crime Family.

...

In short, Y/Y/MFY
