I’ve never written Jon or Martin or Leitner-made-me-do-it stories before, but oh man this one was fun to do. @dundeelemonade had the awesome idea, I just kinda played with it and this thing rambled out.
In which horrible bosses are horrible, and Jon and Martin get to deal with a scary new Leitner on Hallowe'en. Mind the tags, it gets a bit explicit, but there’s some fluff in there too. Don’t be an anti-Stratfordian, it doesn’t pay.
i gave @rainbowbarnacle the flimsiest of scenes for leitner’d dubcon cuddles, and she knocked it out of the fucking park and wrote a whole god damn thesis on jon n martin’s relationship dynamic as it grew and blossomed, became something so richly organic and warm that i teared up a bit at parts. this is ridiculously lovely for something built on such an utterly ridiculous premise, and i can’t thank her enough.
10/10 experience, would give this friend another dead-end wip to turn into a masterpiece any time.

STILL CANT GET OVER HOW FUNNY PETER LUKAS IS. JUST LIKE. AS A CHARACTER CONCEPT??? EVERY TIME I TRY TO EXPLAIN IT TO SOMEONE I END UP WHEEZING TOO HARD TO CONTINUE???
like oh hey its the lukases! theyre an entire family tied to the eldritch manifestation of the lonely! thats ironic enough to be funny already, but then we meet peter lukas.
and all our past exposure to the lukases leads us to believe that he’s gonna be pretty representative of the forsaken, right? he’s a scion of the lukases, who have all been cold, distant, reserved and ominously silent. surely when we finally hear a lukas on tape, he’s going to have Gravitas, right? he’s going to be menacing? he’s going to be terse and measured with his words, only speaking enough to deliver cryptic portents of doom to our protagonists????
no.
he sounds like your uncle who works in the HR department of a life insurance company!! he sounds like he walked right out of a management training dvd!!! and he doesnt shut up!!!!!
he opens his mouth and its like my podcast player has been possessed by the tormented souls of a thousand door to door salesmen. everything he ever says just perfectly captures the essence of an insufferable bureaucrat of a “people orientated company” with an employee policy made up of statements like “we’re all one big happy family!”. thats REAL fear right there. he’s the fakest bitch ive ever heard. its incredible.
