i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

14 Valentines: Body Image. When I looked at my spreadsheet and slated this story into today's spot, I genuinely didn't remember that today's theme was Body Image -- I may or may not have chosen to post a story about drag queens today if I'd known. Probably ... I would have posted it today anyway.

I have three tattoos, and whenever I catch a glimpse of them in the mirror, I think: I love my body. It's not something I think often, and so I love my tattoos, because they make me love myself.

Title: Smoking Was My Only Vice
Fandom: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Pairing: Adam/Tick, post-movie
Rating: R
Disclaimer: A bunch of Australians own these characters, not me. I'm just fooling around.
Summary: Benji said, "Is Adam your boyfriend?" "Adam is a foul-mouthed little fuck," Tick said. "No." 2300 words.

( Tick has to get a bigger flat when they get back to Sydney, because even if he's not quite sure what to do with a son, he knows he owes Benji something better than the shithole he'd been living in (and better than a traveling life in Priscilla, even if Tick's almost fond of the old beater). )
