Summary
“...Hello?”
Whizzer’s voice was low and raspy, like he hadn’t been awake but not quite asleep either. Like he had been up late. With somebody, or alone. Up late, breathless. Still, he sounded alert. Marvin already felt stupid.
“Hi. It’s, uh, it’s Marvin.” Do you remember? The fag from the game.
“Oh.” Whizzer said, and Marvin could hear the smile already blooming on the other end of the line. “I figured. You know, not many people call me this time of the night unless they’re horny or dying.” Marvin didn’t answer right away. He felt the scotch in his hand and the heat crawling up his neck. His whole body reacted. “Which one are you?”
Well, the situation’s this: it’s 1978 and Marvin takes Jason out to a baseball game. He’s incredibly bored until one Whizzer Brown happens to sit next to him. It’s a terrible place for this and even worse timing, but Marvin always has a hard time saying no to himself.

Summary
Marvin has a good life. A tight-knit family, a son with brains, a nice bright mother; but he can't help his mind getting away from him when he meets an uncomfortably dashing Whizzer Brown at his local bar.

Of Lessons in Batting Practice and Family Bonds by SingARoundelay
Fandoms: Falsettos - Lapine/Finn
22 Dec 2017

Summary
Just another Saturday afternoon spent at the batting cages — because the Mets’ star baseball player is definitely going to give his not-son Jason pointers. But in the end, it’s Jason who teaches Whizzer a lesson in what makes a blended family.
—
Whizzer chuckles. “Go take care of your hand. I need that thing later so make sure it’s not broken. Otherwise it’s gonna be a hellish six weeks of teaching you to use your left hand.”“EW GROSS!” Jason drops the bat and clamps his hands over his ears. “La-la-la-la I can’t hear you.”
“He means to write with!” Marvin says, wiping away tears. Whizzer isn’t sure if they’re tears of pain, laughter, or a mixture of both.

Summary
If you asked Whizzer Brown to describe his boyfriend in three words, they would be: intoxicating, addicting, and gorgeous. He’s absolutely enamoured with everything Marvin does. He isn’t sure when he got so romantic and sappy, but he isn’t sure he minds. He’s too busy falling for Marvin more every day.

Summary
Is he causing a stink, just as he had so often in the past? He should be in the water with his family, cherishing this time they have together and creating new memories with his son. Instead, he’s here, self-consciously wearing an old white shirt and hiding from the world.↳ Beach day insecurities

Summary
Nick Carraway took care of Jay Gatsby after he was shot--looked after him when no one else did, and now that devotion remains as strong as ever. The only thing that could possibly draw him back to St. Paul is nostalgia for the winters of his boyhood; if only Long Island could give him a miracle...

Summary
“It's such a great spot, Marv. Really hole in the wall, out of sight from everyone else. You'd love it. Super strong coffee, dark and gloomy atmosphere - it's practically made for you! It's everything you love, rolled into one coffee shop!"
What Cordelia had failed to mention (because how could she know?) was that said coffee shop was frequented by none other, than Whizzer Brown.Bookmarked by bleeples
