ok but buck fawning over tommy’s chin, kissing it and complimenting him on it every chance he gets bc he just finds it so cute 😔
i know this is not technically what you asked for, but. well.
"you like... my chin."
there's absolutely no reason for tommy to look as skeptical as he does, if buck is being honest. tommy's face is gorgeous in an old hollywood way. not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and subsequently perfect because of it.
"well." buck reaches for tommy's smoothie and takes a sip. raspberry vanilla. buck's favorite. god, he wants to marry this man so badly some day. "i mean. the rest of your face has a lot going for it too, but. yeah. it's interesting. it makes your face nice to look at."
he watches tommy's face go from amused to straight up joyful, watches the column of his throat as he tips his head back and he laughs out loud, cheeks flushing pink, and god if that isn't the most beautiful sound buck has ever heard? made even more beautiful because buck knows how hard he had to work for his joy, his ease as he moves through life. tommy kinard is a weightless being and it shows in the way he navigates the world, deliberate in his intention to experience everything about life to its absolute fullest.
it's unfair.
it's unfair for one man to be this handsome.
moments like these, he wants to look around, see if anyone else in the cafe is as aware of tommy's beauty as he is but he always decides against it. number one, he already knows from experience that no one is actually looking at him, at them, and, number two, even if they were, it wouldn't matter. he's all buck's anyway.
tommy shakes his head, laughter quieting. "you're ridiculous. of all the things to lust over."
"oh, okay, laugh it up."
but tommy's eyes are soft and fond, despite the teasing. or, okay, maybe partly because of it. buck's boyfriend is a bit of an asshole, after all, but that's okay. he'll happily be the butt of every single joke if only tommy would keep looking at him like that, keep smiling at him like he's the answer to every question he's ever had.
tommy leans across the table into his space, voice lowering like they're the only two people in the world. he hums, eyes searching buck's face, and leans in, pressing a gentle, brief kiss to his lips.
"god, i love you."
buck's voice goes breathy like it's the first time he's ever heard it. "yeah?"
"mmm," tommy hums again. "i love you, you beautiful..." kiss. "...ridiculous..." kiss... "...hilarious..." kiss. "...kind of odd..." kiss. "deeply intelligent..." kiss. "...overwhelmingly sweet man."
he finishes with one last kiss to buck's mouth, and buck has honest to god butterflies in his stomach when tommy pulls away and sits back in his seat. eight months in and being kissed by him still feels the same as it did the first time—still feels warm, and safe, and beautiful, and loving, and... how did this happen?
how did buck become the guy who gets butterflies in his stomach over a kiss?
"uh." he blinks a couple times to clear his head, to focus his thinking. not like it works, not when tommy is looking at him like he hung all the damn stars in the sky. buck clears his throat. "well. yeah." a beat. "but i'm your idiot."
and it's so cheesy. if given the opportunity, buck probably could have thought of a million different sweet and sexy things to say, but, at the end of the day, it's true. he's tommy's in the same way tommy is his.
tommy rolls his eyes, but he's smiling, his nose scrunching up even as he takes his drink back. he takes a sip from his straw without blinking, swallows the rest of the thing down like he didn't order it specifically because he knows buck likes to steal his drink, and. god. buck is so in love it fucking hurts.
tommy reaches across the table and takes his hand, the last traces of humor smoothed away and replaced with nothing but aching sincerity. "yeah," he says softly. "yeah. you're my idiot."

i could literally go on and on about the last few comics of sophomore year but this kiss is- god the domesticity of it. the ordinarality of it. the moving boxes and unmade bed, the half-made blinds, the lamp without a shade. this is not a grand location, but it feels grand, because jack has just run all across campus for this, because there was a moment he thought he was too late, because he found bitty listening to a romantic song and crying over him, because of the way jack holds him. because it's them! because the small moments are often the most grand. and because this is a story they'll be telling for generations, with all its drama and embellishments, turning their story into legend.

For anyone who's ever hoped for a second chance.
Only 10 days for A Curse For True Love but honestly I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE. I miss Evangeline so bad, I miss Jacks, damn I even miss Chaos and Lala. I NEED IT. Right now. And I need it to have a happy ending, please.
Hope y'all like this artpiece as much as I do. I really wanted to draw them bc I'm currently OBSESSED with Evajacks.
Please, do not repost without permission.

Y'know that line in Watch What Happens (Reprise) when Jack goes "Here's what I think, Joe's a jerk, he's a rattlesnake." ?
I propose that when he says that, he pulls David in close by the vest (or if he's wearing a tie), like an inch away from his face, to try get him to pay attention to what he's saying.
It'd also be kinda gay, reminiscent to that scene in 92sies.

one of the most heartbreaking moments in ofmd is ed leaving the revenge with calico jack, but i only just noticed how immediately affected stede is by his departure and parting words. his lip is quivering, his eyes are glossy - he's about to cry.
and i don't think he's just sad about ed leaving, though that's certainly a large part of it. he's really been hurt by all that jack said about him not knowing The Real Blackbeard. he's all in his head wondering if he actually knows ed, he's traumatized by the violent story jack told, and he feels like ed is choosing jack over him all at the same time. not to mention the imposter syndrome he's dealing with about being a "store-bought" pirate.
ed actually looks like he's going to stay until jack eggs him on and guilts him about saving his life. so stede's also watching the man he loves leave to be with someone who not only brings out the worst in him, but emotionally blackmails him to stay. stede's literally watching ed leave to be with his toxic ex and it brings him close to tears.
