Wait, what? Did I never leave a comment to this fic when it was first posted? Or did I do so in RBR? Did I actually edit this one? WHY DO I REMEMBER NOTHING.
HOWEVER. I'M GOING TO RANT ABOUT IT NOW BECAUSE I'VE SPENT THE PAST, LIKE, 3 HOURS READING FIC. LULZ.
<3333 Andyyyyy.
I love his conversation with Rahm (“What are you talking about?” Rahm says, “And you really do need a haircut, you look like the lost member of some shitty boyband.” “I notice things.” Anderson says, “I’m not stupid and besides, the walls are pretty thin.” Rahm goes an interesting colour)
And the unsaid dynamic between Rahm and Barack where they're not angsting and they're trying to be okay with it, like everyone whistles at him, Rahm a beat to late, and in that one second he looks like a man on the edge of a precipice, about to lose grip. Anderson calls him over to talk about “This really interesting piece on Spirit Houses in Asia” and to his credit Rahm wonders over, and it’s possible that he says that kind of thing too much, but it’s not like people would find out about these things if he didn’t tell them. Also that quote is just Andyyyyyyyyyyyy <3 why are you such a MASSIVE DORKFACE OF OBLIVIOUSNESS (it's not like people would find out about these things if he didn't tell them oh youuuu. this also reminds me about the ninja polar bears)
Stephen in The Tempest <3333 AND THIS WAS WRITTEN BEFORE I WAS IN THE TEMPEST BUT THEN I WAS AND SO NOW I AM MORE HAPPY THAN I MUST HAVE ORIGINALLY BEEN ABOUT THE INCLUSION OF SHAKESPEARE.
anime hair! And Jon being every wish he’d ever made. OH BOYS
And I love the Joey/Andy interaction, as well, because I really didn't go enough into either character but you've got EVERYTHING SO RIGHT about both of them; joey fretting about being charming while still so full of it, and helping Anderson out unexpectedly and Andy didn't know he wanted to be helped out but appreciating it, and the way everyone reacts! Buying them an island! Jon asking to date his mom! (omg jon liebowitz you are such a dorky horndog lol) And Joey trying to seduce everyone at The Fulcrum lol Andy would be so annoyed and not understand because he is so Not Normal <3
Jon "go oooooooooooooon" oh I love it when he does that, it makes me so happy to recognize stuff like that.
"i've been feeding it beer" lol
There are things that are important to remember about Barack too, that just because a thing is effortless doesn’t mean it isn’t calculated, but also that being calculated doesn’t make it any less meant. HOW ARE YOU SO PROFOUND AND ARTICULATE AND CONFUSING AND AWESOME ALL AT THE SAME BLOODY TIME?
Anderson laughs at that and everyone turns and looks at him. “That is the sound of Mozart’s nightmares.” Stephen declares, and the argument resumes again. You have such a great sense of humour; you manage to capture the college joking around kind of humour and them just being so smart and awesome, I love how much I was laughing, both at the jokes in this and just at turns of phrase.
