I'm in the Palm of Your Hand

Summary:

“Hey, is this the right number for the queer boxing intro class?”
“yeah, that’s me, darcy. you found the flyer then?”

OR;

A conversation, a meeting in the ring, and a group chat.

Notes:

Chapter 1: Flyer

Notes:

Many (belated) happiest birthdays, TK! For those who don’t know, TK is one of the most supportive folks in fandom; they always show up in comments, leaving the most generous of comments. However, what’s more important, though, is that they are a completely and totally awesome human all around.

Apologies, this has taken so long. It was meant to be a short, straightforward 500-word pentadrabble. But then Darcy decided to be their chaotic self. And then both Nick and Charlie insisted on sticking their ore in.

So, here we have a four-thousand-odd-word multi-chapter fic, complete with workskins. Because I have never heard of these things called “halves.”

This fic is completely written and will be coming out over the next three days.

Since this fic is for TK, the title is taken from Sub-Radio’s ‘Pretty Boy’.

The work skin used for this fic is etc e tal (pe_pe_peperoncinocandy)'s Whatsapp Work Skin Template /Revamped.

Finally this fic has been very kindly betaed by Doozy4Ever, and many thank yous to The Vibes Squad Psyoperator, bea-f14 and Cody for their reassurance on the comedy aspects <3

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
