alpha dersecest is probably the best dersecest

She moves like a river, and you’re sick of similes and cliches like that but she’s just stubborn enough to warrant them, to make you sicker with their use. She walks like rain falls, and her mouth is a smirking stormcloud and when she shows her teeth it’s a lightning strike of white. You grit your own teeth at the thought.
She looks like you. Not exactly, but enough. Same white-blond hair, same thick eyebrows and arms a little too long for her body. You wonder if she’s noticed the similarities. Probably, since she’s about nine times more observant than you are. At least, you have to assume so. What with her being a writer. She’s desperately gorgeous and obnoxiously intelligent, and whenever you speak to her you feel like she’s got a rope around your neck and whenever you aren’t speaking to her you feel like the rope is being pulled so tight you ought to be purple in the face.
She’s so guarded, but she doesn’t hide as well as she’d like to. Not from you, anyway. Not from anyone who watches her closely.
There’s an glint in her eyes when champagne is passed around, and a quiver in her hand when she turns the drink down. Her dress is not the flat black that all the other women wear; a faint lilac tints it. She’s wearing white tights and big dumb mary janes, and you make a mental note to commend her on the ironic statement. She’s talking to her editor, and her laugh is forced and dry and it’s almost painful to watch.
You cross the room, and quietly ask “need a knight, Lalonde?”
She rolls her eyes but lightning strikes and she kisses your cheek. “I know what I’m doing, Strider.”

Hey im looking for a fic that seems to have been deleted off a03 (author got anti poisoning and added a disclaimer that they dont condone the fic anymore or w/e then seemingly later took it down).
Its a beta ot4 modern AU fic. Dave & Rose were siblings, Jade & John were cousins, & they all ended up dating at the end. The summary was something to the effect of 'falling in love slowly like a faucet that some asshole left dripping'.
John and Rose were dating but things got complicated and they all sort of end up falling in love. Dave & Rose almost fucked during an incident with a shower curtain, there was a cake made to propose the poly ship, John and Jade smooched at least once. It was a fairly decently long multichapter fic and it (used to) have artwork embedded in the fic. It didnt have full on E-rated smut, but it got a little frisky in parts.
It was posted and finished before 2016 that I remember.
No worries if you dont know the name of the fic + author(so I can root around for it easier) or have a wayback link, I just figured id ask in case you did because I miss it as it really nailed the Rose/Dave and the John/Jade in a way that nothings been able to scratch the same way since.
Unfortunately I haven’t heard of that fic!
Any of my followers have any ideas?
