Current fic to-do list

– WIPs: zombies (nearing completion, I think), road trip (four more parts to go), Slow Down (yeah thanks for messing the latter up two-thirds through posting Felipe with your SURPRISE BITCHES maybe-comeback tease that’s ruined my motivation for it lol), sex worker AU (hardly even properly started but it’s already nearly 10k words long)
– AU where one of them is a delinquent and the other is a good boy but I can’t decide who should be which (was going to be would-be bad boy with a heart of gold Felipe and smart college boy Rob BUT bad boy Rob and struggling-to-pass-his-exams Felipe is also appealing)
– Five times Rolipe tried to ~spice things up~ in the bedroom and just ended up failing/laughing at each other [and realising that’s what they like best anyway] (spanking/toys/filming/??)
– NEW: AU where Felipe gets Dudu to help him chat up the attractive English stranger because his English is better than Felipe’s
– EVEN MORE NEW: Earthly Delights sequel where they meet up in London 5 years later (FFS WHERE DID THIS COME FROM)

I’m sure there’s plenty more I’m forgetting, esp. AUs :/a I thought I was going to need them next year in the pursuit of escapism to fill the gaping void of reality, BUT NOW WHO KNOWS

I had the single thought “I feel like dudu is better at English than Felipe” and i immediately got an au idea where Felipe forces his reluctant brother to help him chat up an attractive English guy who speaks no Portuguese.

Good to know the ideas generating part of my brain is still in full working order, even if the words generating part is in more dubious condition
