    Summary

    A TV miniseries adaptation of The Great Gatsby based on the original novel. Written in a rough screenplay format. This script aims to honestly portray overlooked queer aspects of the original story as well as reimagine certain elements to add commentary relevant to the modern day.

    Basically, it's gays, guys. Enjoy this weird, pretentious trash.

    Summary

    Surely Jay was hearing things. That was all. It had been a long night, and he was finally within sight of his true love, the girl who had changed his life, who had meant more to him than the man in the trenches ever had. Stress, perhaps even delusions were natural responses. Poor Nick Carraway was just a stranger for him to project that stress upon.

     

    This resolution was highly relieving. Jay breathed out shakily, regaining control over his facilities once more. That had certainly been a scare. But –

     

    He looked up, directly into the bright green eyes of the man he had fucked during the Great War. Entirely of his own free will. Multiple times.

     

    Or a Great Gatsby AU in which Nick and Gatsby *met* during the war and don’t dare bring it up when they reunite on West Egg. Awkwardness, misunderstandings, and humiliation ensue.

    Summary

    “No, absolutely not!”

    Leon is livid, standing in Hunnigan’s office, grinding his teeth together so forcefully he’s surprised he doesn’t chip one of them.

    “Leon, would you listen to me for one minute?”

    She tries to get through to him but he doesn’t want to hear it, it’s enough that they’ve canceled his vacation again, but to ask this of him– is utterly humiliating.

    “I said, I am not doing it!”

    He digs around in his pants pocket, grasps the dark blue chip he finds there tightly between his thumb and index finger and bangs it on Hunnigan’s desk, leaving it between them like a beacon to remind her of what she’s demanding.

    “You might as well just take it now.”

    Six months of sobriety. Weekly AA meetings. A prescription for SSRIs, he isn’t dumping in the trash. He’s really trying to be better, he is, but he knows having to accept this mission, will make all of that be for naught.

    Or

    Chris and Leon take up an undercover mission, needing to set up a fake marriage. All seems to be going according to plan, if it weren’t for their own secrets slowly coming to light.

    Summary

    With a quick wipe of his palm across the material of his jeans, the sweat that had gathered there on Leon’s hands was erased and he nodded as Chris set them down some drinks, not missing the way that the older man’s eyes caught his and it conjured images of the bar they’d last met at. It also conjured images of Chris’ furious face inches above his as Rebecca stood awkwardly to the side of them. He squeezed his hand around the glass bottle of his beer and masked the sudden onset of nervousness with a sip, sighing a little when Chris merely just smiled weakly back at him.

    Perhaps they were really past all their previous unpleasantness.

    ---

    After Arias was dead, what more could Leon and Chris do but fall into a strange familiarity with each other.

     A prequel to Is Now Done & Home Again, Then but can be read as a standalone!
