AFTG Texas AU

exy-13:

This ain’t about the Ravens. This here is about yall. This is about all the snakes you’ve had to get out of yer boots, all the Alamos you’ve had to fight for, and everyone who said ‘what in tarnation’ when you dared to dream of how the stars at night are big and bright (clap clap clap) deep in the heart of Texas  Yall are here tonight cause yall chose to get it when the gettins good and lord have mercy mama didn’t raise no fools. Yall are here and butter my butt and call me a biscuit but i do declare they all said you’d’em never be! and they aint able to say you haven’t earned your way here all fine and dandy. All thems eyes are on you. It’s time to show them that they better hold on a cotton picking minute, youre fixing to show em what yall are all made of. No room for conniptions, no room for being dumb as dirt, no room for holding your horses. This here is your friday night football game and the whole town is here. This here is the time for yall to act like you got some sense. Seize it, don’t breeze it. Pull out all the stops till the cows come home. Fight because you don’t know how to let the alamo go. Win because you’re still bitter over the last waiter you had not knowing basic chemisty and trying to tell you that ‘no they don’t have sweet tea but i can give you unsweet and bring some sugar’ as if any amount of sugar is gonna change the solubility of a cold liquid. This here high rising fool with a superority complex has ruled for far longer than a pastor at a sermon who’s fixing to put some jesus in you – it’s time to be pretty if you can, witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you.

This one goes out to @foxsoulcourt who asked for more of the southern AU, @fuzzballsheltiepants for their encouraging comment and of course to the AFTGFL fam for the love and support

make me choose: thank you. you were amazing or baltimore reunion asked by @xjosten

He didn’t want to leave Andrew with nothing,
but what could he possibly say?

“Thank you,” he finally said. He
couldn’t say he meant thanks for all of it: the keys, the trust, the
honesty, and the kisses. Hopefully Andrew would figure it out
eventually. “You were a m a z i n g.”

Books I’ve Read in 2017 →  Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe  Benjamin Alire Sáenz 4/5.

Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
