no more dreaming like a girl so in love

all the words one man can speak: a soundtrack for Paul and Orly and putting yourself back together with the jigsaw edges of another broken person to make yourselves both whole.

( restless nights and nervous days )

Title: Pleasure For Now, Love For Always
Characters: Orly Kinley and Paul Graham
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 3020
Notes: I have an actual timeline for these stories now! They all make sense in order! I'm very proud of myself. Usually either I write things in order or I don't write enough for there to be an order, but there is a whole Kinley-Graham continuum now. I will be making a post listing everything in chronological order as soon as I post one more thing I'm working on. But I went back and added timestamps to all the older stories and some of the backstory, and I'm quite pleased with the way they reference each other. (Just let me be stupidly proud about this. I'm so bad at writing things out of sequence usually.) ANYWAYS, I just wanted an excuse to write some really dirty porn, and then they went and got all fluffy on me (like they do) and now it's fluffy smut (which, as we all know, is my specialty). So! Paul's thirtieth birthday.

also, I was going to use an Alt-J lyric as a title, but "turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet" is kind of wordy and I'm not Fall Out Boy with the sentence long titles, even if it is painfully apt.


Timeline: February 4, 2015

( first with the sexy and then with the snarky. well, kind of with the snarky during the sexy. okay these guys never shut up but it's endearing. )

Title: Turning the Page
Characters: Orly Kinley and Paul Graham
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 4888
Notes: I just can’t even with these guys and how adorable they are. Gratuitously fluffy feels all over the place as their relationship evolves.

Timeline: early May 2015

Title: 'Til Morning Comes, Let's Tessellate
Characters: Characters: Orly Kinley and Paul Graham
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1020
Notes: This basically goes right after Snow Days but I didn't want to just append it to the longer story after I'd finished writing that one. Have some hurt/comfort! Heavy on the comfort, cause that's how I do.
Timeline: a couple hours after Snow Days

( so about those nightmares... )

So I'm writing about Orly and Paul, and it's cute and fun and I really like them, but they pretty much exist entirely in my head and an archive no one else can access. So I thought I would repost some of their history to give a little context to their imminent present. All this stuff got written in 2006-07, but I'm adjusting the timeline to account for the new stuff with them being set modern, which kind of fucks with the whole army timeline, but I'm in this for the love story, not war accuracy. Unfortunately, none of the RP logs survived, so all I have is what I wrote, which means that how they met (which was adorable and Paul gave Orly a little owl because 'o rly' was relevant back then) is lost to time, but their younger brothers became roommates and thought it would be smart to introduce their war vet brothers and... yeah, anyways, here's some stuff about Orly's family and little snippets of the first few months of their relationship.
