Re: If you could do a prequel to any of your favorite shows, which would it be?

[elaminator]

Why is nobody tapping this gold mine.

It confuses me because they have so much chemistry, and it really does feel like Nathan's reactions to Duke are fueled by something more than what we've been told. The bullying and the using him would be enough, but somehow that still doesn't feel like the whole story to me. I wish more people would explore their past...or the show itself would, before the finale. *sigh*

Ugh, the casefic sounds great too! I will undoubtedly read it when I find myself in the Duke/Nathan tag again. (IDK if you've already posted any of it yet, but you've made me want to check.)

It's pretty much my personal head-canon that Nathan had a really unfortunate and painful crush on Duke in his teen years, and maybe the two of them even fooled around a bit but Duke was hesitant to take their relationship seriously and after 'breaking up' with Nathan moved away. So all this talk of unrequited crush fic is making me thirsty; I eat that shit up.

Heh, my headcanon is the exact opposite. I picture Duke as being the one with the hopeless crush he never got up the nerve to confess, while Nathan had all kinds of tenderness and affection for him but never really consciously registered his own feelings as "I like you like you." Even when I write them as adults he's the one who needs a bit of gentle kicking before he really looks at what he's feeling and starts asking questions about it.

The casefic isn't anywhere yet; it's my first attempt at longfic and thus I'm not posting it until the entire thing is written. And edited. Dear God, this is such a first draft and it's going to need so much editing. But I have an outline and all kinds of momentum, so I have high hopes of actually finishing it one day.

I would be fine with either! Duke and Nathan are both shit at talking about feelings so it works.
