And They Were Streamers - 5/?
chapter 5: too fast, too slow (8.5k)
Crowley and Aziraphale share the drive to Edinburgh. Reassurances are had, questions are asked, and accounts are revealed.
“Shall I continue?” Crowley drawled, adjusting his sunglasses like they held any prescriptive value, like he was preparing to read something far more serious than a £3 petrol station romance novel. “Must you?” Aziraphale muttered, which Crowley ignored. “‘Okay,’ I whispered,” Crowley stage-whispered, feeling a little bit gross about it himself, “‘He glared at me, his dark brown eyes narrowed, and I felt like I might melt under the intensity of his gaze. I took a deep breath in through my nose and immediately regretted the decision, because he smelled incredible.’” “You’re having me on,” Aziraphale said severely.

The Orbitron
The Orbitron is a custom car built by Ed Roth and feared lost until its rediscovery in Mexico in 2007
Tumblr media
A second generation to Roth's original Beatnik Bandit, which was built in 1960, the Beatnik Bandit II features a one-of-a-kind fiberglass body with PPG lemon meringue pie paint, stylized Rat Fink designs on the sides, and chrome by Metal Masters of Salt Lake City, UT. 
Beatnik Bandit II includes many unique design features, including an electronic console which operates the digital instrument panel and other features such as a digital readout of the car's latitude and longitude. 
The lack of a rearview mirror is not a problem on this car. A "TV mirror" video monitor is mounted on the console with the actual camera mounted in the rear panel. The bubble top is also lifted electronically. 
Beatnik Bandit II was built entirely by Roth, who credits "Revelations from Father in Heaven" for his achievement. The car has been shown in major U. S. cities, including Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston, as well as in Yokohama, Japan.
Tumblr media
The Beatnik Bandit
Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth was an artist, cartoonist, illustrator, pinstriper and custom car designer and builder who created the hot-rod icon Rat Fink and other characters. Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot-rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s The Beatnik Bandit was one of his first creations from the early 1960s. It was built from a 1949 Oldsmobile, the chassis was shortened 5 feet, the Olds engine was given the classic hotrod look with GMC blower and twin carbys, everything was chromed except the blower belt. The white interior featured single joystick, that operated turning, throttle and braking. The bubble top was created using compressed air to inflate a sheet of plastic into a dome in a pizza oven. On display at the National Automobile Museum in Reno

Mysterion
Ed Roth built the Mysterion in 1963, he got the idea from the multi engine dragsters he had seen at the dragstrips. He combined two Ford engines, two transmissions, plus two welded rear ends for the foundation. It featured an offset headlight and the typical Ed Roth bubble top. On display at Galpin Auto Sports.

Mysterion
Custom builder and artist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth completed the Mysterion in 1963. The bubbletopped custom featured a completely original fiberglass body and twin Ford big-block engines. The weight of the engines was too much for the frame to bear, and the Mysterion fell apart. Tribute versions have been built, including this precise replica from Galpin Auto Sports.
Tumblr media
The Surfink
The Surfink, created by Mark Glaz as a tribute to Ed Roth and Ratfink, features a large Ratfink figure atop a surfboard complete with a blown V-8 engine.
Tumblr media
The Orbitron
Built in 1964, the vehicle was powered by a 1955 or 1956 Chevrolet V8 and was backed by a Powerglide automatic transmission. The body was hand-laid fiberglass, hiding Roth's extensive chrome work to the chassis. The cockpit, set at the extreme rear of the vehicle in the manner of a dragster, was lined with fake fur and featured an 11-inch General Electric "1-Touch" portable television inserted in the console. Topping the cockpit was a custom-made, hydraulically operated Plexiglas bubble top. One of a series of ordinary doorbell push-button switches atop the hood activated the top from the outside.
Other mechanical features included a 1956 Chevrolet rear end, dropped Ford front axle beam, Buickbrake drums and early Ford brakes. The frame was handmade of rectangular 2x4 inch steel tubing. The engine was a leftover from one of Roth's 1955 Chevrolets, having been removed to make way for a then-new Mark IV big-block given to him by General Motors. It was one of the very few completed cars Roth deemed to be a "mistake" because he felt the car did not show well since the heavily chromed engine and most of the chassis were hidden. The Orbitron was, in fact, one of his few customs to have a hood. Reportedly, the hydraulically operated hood did not fit well due to rushed fiberglass work.
The vehicle's most distinctive feature was its asymmetrical front end with red, green and blue tinted headlamps. It was thought that the three beams when combined would produce an intense white light; the idea came from the then-new medium of color television.

On the Road, Just the Two of Us
Chapter Three: At a Gas Station, Just the Two of Us (well, not really)
Masterpost | First | Previous | Next | Ao3
Summary: This was written for @dukeceit-week-2024, @dukeceitweek
Janus and Remus are living in a campervan at the moment. Are they going somewhere? Who knows. The only thing that’s important is that they’re together.
Content Warnings: Innuendos, Heavy Flirting, mention of rats
🌻🌻🌻🌻
“This place is filthy,” Janus commented as they pulled into the gas station. Remus hummed in agreement.
“Well, we don’t really have much choice, I think. There’s probably not another one for miles.”
“Most likely. I’ll just remain in the car then.”
“Fine by me. Though, you’re sure you don’t wanna go to the toilet?”
“I’m pretty sure it’s more sanitary to go in the bushes that on what that tragedy probably looks like.” Janus frowned at the building, the windows of which look like they haven’t been cleaned in years.
“So, I can’t convince you to have a quicky in the bathroom?”
“Not unless you’re willing to clean it with bleach and disinfect everything like three times.”
“Was worth a shot,” Remus shrugged and climbed out of the driver seat. Janus watched him as he filled up their tank and then disappeared inside to pay. He then waved at Janus as he rounded the building to go to the toilet. Janus’ nose scrunched automatically at just the thought of what they must look and smell like. He’ll have to make Remus disinfect his hands in eyeshot before letting him back into the van.
Remus would pout at him for at least an hour after, but he could handle that.
Except, he didn’t.
When Remus did come back to the van and Janus wordlessly held out the disinfection spray, his boyfriend rolled his eyes once but otherwise complied without complaining. Janus was so shocked that he didn’t get a word out until they had pulled out of the gas station and back onto the road.
When he came back to himself, Remus was humming along to the playlist, simply focused on the road and otherwise completely still.
He was very rarely that docile.
Janus narrowed his eyes at him.
“What happened?”
“Hm?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, Remus, something happened on that toilet. You’re way too happy for just having taken a dump.”
His boyfriend snorted – because of course he did, he had the humor of a twelve-year-old.
“You sure you wanna know? You’re not gonna like it.”
“You’re actually completely focused on the road without me having to jump through hoops to entertain you, of course I want to know who or what my savior is.”
“I love you,” Remus sighed, completely serious. “Your snark is so hot.”
“I love you, too. Now answer me.”
“There was a rat running around the restroom. It was super cute and barely scared of me! Even let me take pictures! Though it ran away when I tried to pet it.”
Janus gagged and Remus snorted.
“Told you you weren’t gonna like it.”
“I’m just glad it ran away and didn’t bite you. And it’s nice to know that I made the right decision by not taking a step out of this car at that disgusting place.”
“Yeah, I know I shouldn’t’ve tried to touch it… My shitty impulse control really had me this time.”
“The rat is definitely wiser than you.”
“They’re so fucking smart, Jan. Do you know how fucking smart they are? Like super fucking smart.”
“Yes, dear, I know,” Janus chuckled. “You’ve given me several ted talks and shown me plenty of videos. Still, you shouldn’t try to touch street rats. Only the domesticated ones.”
“Uhhhh, I’d love to have a pet rat! Would have since I was a child but Roman convinced me that it was a bad idea to ask for one because mom absolutely hates rodents. Convinced her to get us that hamster though.”
“Ah, yes, I remember you telling me about that. Sacagawea, wasn’t it? You and Roman went to play with her in the garden and lost her?”
“Yep, that’s the one! After that mom decided we weren’t ready for pets.”
“I wouldn’t mind having a pet rat.”
Remus hit the breaks a bit too hard. Thankfully, they were still in the middle of nowhere without any other car around.
“You wouldn’t?!” Remus asked, excitedly.
“I wouldn’t. As I said, you’ve spoken about them so much, I couldn’t help getting a bit endeared with them as well. They can be really cute. When they’re domesticated and properly trained.” He added that last part when Remus seemed to be about to turn the van around to get back to that gas station and retrieve the encountered rat.
“Fine. A boring, domesticated rat then. But we’re getting one!”
“Not directly after we get back, but I’m open to it in the future, alright, darling?”
“More than alright! I could kiss you until the sun goes up tomorrow! Actually, that’s an idea…” His tone shifted in one Janus knew very well, and he rolled his eyes.
“No way, dear. We can kiss for a bit; you’ve already brought us to a stop anyway. But if you wanna take my clothes off, you’ll have to wait until the sun has gone down first.”
“And then we can go until sunrise?”
“Depends on where we end up.”
Remus whooped loudly, before turning off the van for now and pulling Janus into a bruising kiss.
There was nowhere he’d rather be.
