Summary:

World-renowned YouTube documentarian Alex Claremont-Diaz starts a travel competition show with his channel's writers (aka his sister and his best friend/ex) and some British YouTuber who he definitely doesn't have a crush on. Globetrotting shenanigans ensue.

(or: I bash two of my hyperfixations together like rocks and put these four in a bunch of goofy moments from hit youtube series jet lag: the game)

(title from the Jet Lag trailer song)

Notes:

oh BABY i'm back on ao3! i've had this fic idea for AGES (basically since jet lag season 2 dropped) and... oh my god i literally had the completing thought of "just do drabbles you fool" WHILE JET-LAGGED

it's fate?

Chapter 1: the game starts (connect 4)

Summary:

intro filming goes about as well as you'd expect when alex, june and nora are involved

Chapter Text

“The game starts,” Alex says dramatically, gesticulating wildly at a camera while June and Nora try to maintain their we’re-not-famous silent act in the back of shot, “at a Chicago O’Hare Hilton, which means we have to wake up at 4am, so cut to us the most excited and energetic we’ve ever been – now!”

 

With one final hand gesture, Nora finally breaks, and June will just have to hope that she can cut the video fast enough in the edit without it looking weird.

 

Alex turns away from the camera, mock-glaring at Nora. “Are my hand gestures that weird?”

 

“Yes.”
