indybagginsMy fic is now completed!
I've had so much fun writing this epic rollercoaster of a story.
I wanted to tell a story about queerness, what it means to be queer in a world that feels like it isn’t meant for you, and what happens when you do find your people and your family – even (or maybe especially) when they were there all along.
About what it’s like when you allow yourself to exist openly, as vulnerable and scary as that might be. And then the happiness of it, the sheer daring thrill of coming out and being who you are!
It’s a very Cabin Pressure sort of thing, actually.
So if you are a fan of found family, if you want to see a happy ending completely different from Zurich, if you want to talk about queerness within Cabin Pressure... Come and have a read. <3
Title: The Pink Pound
Pairing: Martin Crieff/Douglas Richardson
Tags: Crack Treated Seriously, Angst, Coming Out, Same-Sex Marriage, Faking/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Pilots, Flying, Money, Friendship/Love, Drag Queens, Makeup, Past Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Singing, Accidental Drug Use, Marriage Proposal, Wedding Rings, Gay Bar, Self-Discovery, Travel, Sharing a Bed, Late Night Conversations, Sexuality, Sauna, Laughter During Sex, Gay Sex, Endearments, Sleeping Together, Queer Culture, LGBTQ Themes, Found Family
Summary: As same-sex marriage is about to become legal, Carolyn takes up the idea to profit from it all and rebrands MJN Air as an LGBTQ airline - inspiring various queer shenanigans and a wedding scheme as only Douglas could imagine. Plus a fair bit of coming out, because well, wanting to pretend to be gay is nothing like the real thing right, or is it?
