Without fail, the first day of filming always made her nervous.
It didn’t matter how much she prepared, how many deep breathing exercises she did, or how long she spent reviewing her lines—nerves bubbled in her belly like a pot simmering on a stove, creating a thick haze she had to act through.

Word Count: 4.8K Rating: M | Mentions of sex, mentions of drug & alcohol use. My blog is 18+ only!
Warnings:ANGST. Summer love (yes, that’s a warning). Mentions of sex, drug use, alcohol use. Food mentions. Allusions to strained parental relationships. Brief description of 9/11 aftermath.
All my love to @astroboots&@radiowallet who beta read this and then proceeded to scream at me for it. I always know I’m doing something right when I get threats of home destruction via arson. XD
A/N: I’m cognizant of the fact that this is not the Dieter we see from The Bubble (in part because he’s much younger here). Honestly, I’m not terribly concerned with whether or not he’s canon-characterized. This was just a story that got stuck in my head the first moment I saw him and wouldn’t leave me be.

The first time she saw him, he was all Hollywood hope inside a starving artist’s broad frame.
That was far from new in the business, she learned.
She looked much the same—glimmers of dreams that lay ahead lit up her dark and sunken eyes from one too many nights memorizing audition lines while serving up sludgy graveyard shift diner coffee.
What was that line from that movie she just saw?
‘Well, he’s a half-starved little scarecrow, but he’s got spirit.’

Summary: Co-stars on their first film together, they fell hard into a summer love affair. And then they fell apart. 20+ years later, with both of their careers on the verge of being washed up, they’re cast together again, hoping to save their careers—and maybe, find their way back to each other.
Rating:Explicit 18+. My blog is and always will be 18+ only!
Content: Angst, Pining, Former lovers, References to drug use, Smut & Allusions to sex. Check individual parts for additional warnings.
-> Browse the inspo tag HERE! -> Miranda (@redcrvette) the loveliest human on Earth made a playlist for this fic, see the original ask (with the link, since Tumblr is weird about external ones)HERE. ->@radicalself(I don’t think you’re taggable!) made another fantastic playlist, the original ask is HERE.
I still have to catch up on reblogging the last chapter of this, but I just need to say it one more time- This story is pure poetry. @jazzelsaur continues to drop the most beautiful look at a relationship changing and morphing over time with the back drop of Hollywood to play off of.
If you haven’t taken the time, please read this magnificent story and all of Jess’s work! You won’t be disappointed
