For thirty years under the Borgias.
Political Animals. T.J. Hammond (T.J./Douglas, T.J./Everyone). r. 6800 words. Summary: You can be born a Hammond but you still have to earn the title. It's not about family. It's not about power. It's about ambition and killer instinct and the city might belong to his parents but one T.J. will tear down every

Oh god. Thank you so much.

Um. My standard response to political siblings is incest and I have always wanted to write cheating with brothers. And it grew from there? But mostly Seb Stan's face. Like his face. What is with that. HOW DOES HE DO THAT? He does this very particular character best, but I sort of exaggerated it beyond belief. And then there was his face. And I really need this show, I need it so much. But I'm already writing a sequel to this (from Anne's point of view, because of reasons) even though this caused tears.

BUT THANK YOU THAT IS THE GREATEST OF COMPLIMENTS.

Which is one of the reasons why I worship you.

I'm actually not pleased with this. Because you do realise that the show will never live up to what you've painted for us here, don't you? I'm going to be so disappointed with this show.

But yes, this is long. And glorious. And I'm very proud of you as well!

My responses always suck, but you already know that.

Wow.

Came over here from Tumblr; someone rec'd this work of art. I am so glad that they did. You've weaved everything together here so wonderfully, in a disjointed and utterly perfect way.

If the mini-series is half as good as this, I will be amazed. Thank you for this. :)

Okay, holy shit I just read this (found it through google looking for PA fic) and oh my god.

God is power, the sort that Douglas can’t imagine, the sort T.J. abuses every time he spreads his legs wide and snarls straight into camera. God. What do you need god for anyway? You’re America. You bless your fucking self.

I read that line about ten times over and got chills each and every time.

This is amazing. All of it.

I have a feeling the real show will never live up to what you've created here. This is just, spine-chilling and heart-breaking and awe-inspiring all at once and though people may say otherwise this TJ's life is sort of the best and the worst sort all at once. Amazing work.
