B99 + Bartender AU: in which Amy makes a habit of ranting to the bartender (about her terrible day, her last awful date, the patriarchy), and Jake takes it upon himself to try to make her smile.
“What’ll it be?” “Ugh, surprise me. I’m drinking to forget.” “Bad break up?” “I got an 89 on an exam.”
That’s how it starts. Jake’s so intrigued, and the bar’s empty enough, that he sticks around to chat. He tells himself it’s just for a couple minutes, just enough to find out if this girl is for real. – Turns out she is, and turns out he’s smitten.
“I used to get, like, a lot of auditions for things that were mean, and she has that mean streak at times, but I think she’s also, like, silly and eccentric and I like being able to have more layers than just, like, a ‘mean girl’, or a ‘pretty, sweet girl’. It’s fun to be someone who’s marching to the beat of their own drummer, so to speak.” ⏤ Chelsea Peretti(x)
I’d just like to say I am happy to be here with my family. My super weird family with two black dads, and two Latina daughters, and two white sons, and Gina.
