Summary
Finally, after long enough of that, Fitz gave up, shrugged helplessly, and said, “His second heart was killing him. For some reason his solution to this was to get married. And then when that didn’t help, this untrustworthy bastard Sabbath just pulled the thing out of his chest and walked off with it.”
Bill asked the most important question she could think of. “Does marriage usually help Time Lords with heart conditions?”
Bill and her Doctor run unexpectedly across his old friends Fitz and Anji. (Fitz and Anji’s Doctor has, meanwhile, landed himself in jail. Nobody is surprised.)

i've had this fic open in a tab for days just to stare at it. i'm so thoroughly entertained by everything about it. "evelyn's fabrication skills had improved immensely through her association with the doctor" is a particular high point . actually everything about the narrative voices AND the character voices. hysterical thank you author from 11 years forward

Summary
“If you’ve got something you want to say, just say it,” he says instead, stabbing at the fruit on his plate with a little too much force. There’s always fresh fruit in Giorno’s house, orange and lemon trees spreading wide boughs in the garden, grape vines climbing in through the windows.
Sheila has never been someone to beat around the bush. “You slept in Giogio’s room last night.”

i reread this at least once a week and you should too. "she's so aggravating. fugo likes her so much." has permanently influenced my diction and "eight in the morning is too early for amateur psychosexual analysis" is one of the funnier lines in anything on this website. also the snakes. the metaphors. the character voices. "won't, can't. same difference." guys my writing partner is so talented. also ougugufhgh purple haze feedback

everything this author writes about fugo and giorno is like. exquisite. stellar. layered. every word has three words behind it. this one struck me especially though. something about the imagery. it's good
