Zach messin’ with Chris on the set of WW84. Maybe a little jealous? Chris doing some convincing he has nothing to worry about?

I love it! (especially with the gifset of Gal copping a feel of his arm muscles). The timing’s off though… we’re already in August in the story. But if you all can forgive some time dilation, I can definitely work with that.

Zach moving back to LA/moving in with Chris? (If you hadn’t already planned that.) Maybe the two of them picking out another dog together or something. Or a cat! Umm…hopefully the next Star Trek will have come out in two years or so, so maybe a red carpet appearance together? Idk if any of this is what you’re looking for.

This is ALL what I was looking for (though admittedly, some were already in the works). Aaaand that last one spurred an idea I’m definitely using, so thanks!

Help a Bean

Write-in starts in half an hour… and I’m working on two things in two fandoms (which I never do because it’s harder to hear the characters once I’m not immersed in one).  And I need to finish the one that’s almost done rather than work on the one that’s just starting.  So to help get in the mood, I’m going to ask for help.

If you’re reading Backspace, tell me something you see the boys doing in the next 2 years.  Can be anything.  I don’t know how much will make it into the epilogue, but I’m in a “the more the merrier” sort of mood, and this story particularly feels like it has its roots in Bean Tumblr activity, so it feels appropriate.
