memento mori gori

they smooch in king au NOT VERY OFTEN BUT they totally smooch.

THERE’S AUS FOR GORI WHERE DON DOESN’T EXIST/HE DOESN’T MEET HIM IF THAT IS WHAT YOU MEAN BUT OTHER THAN THAT UH…i don’t think theres any aus they do not smooch in…THEY’RE LIKE SOULMATES IT CAN’T BE HELPED OKAY

(i cant believe you guys are still asking me questions i appreciate you all)

IM AMAZED PPL ARE INVESTED IN THIS TY ANON!?!

IT WENT REALLY BAD. REALLY REALLY BAD. okay i mean don of course trusts and looks up to gori hardcore, especially in this AU, but he also is the type to get SUPER PUMPED AND EXCITED OVER IDEA I MEAN. HES A WINNER AND HIS HUGE ON BETTERING HIMSELF and this asshole comes to him with the promise of being better and richer and more famous and more badass than ever. THIS ASSHOLE ALSO HAPPENED TO BE THE MANAGER OF A FIGHTER WHO BEAT DON RECENTLY SO HE -HAS- TO BE GOOD RIGHT? the guy had a great reputation in the media! what could go wrong!

gori warns him that this guy is bad news hes watched him hes seen his managing style and hes noticed how quickly he cycles through fighters he knows this is a bad decision but don is too stubborn and too caught in the moment and BASICALLY JUST BEING tOO STUPID AND TOO DON TO LISTEN.

so gori leaves and don ends up regretting shit pretty soon after but since he is, once again, stubborn as hell he STICKS WITH IT to prove to gori that HEY I MADE A GOOD DECISION HAHAHA. like i said in the other post this guy doesnt train him at all he just grabs fighters when they’re at their peak and puts his name behind them and when they stop winning he drops them.

so yeah i mean this dickwad gives don all the fancy workout equipment but literally no direction or help. SO DON JUST KINDA AIMLESSLY WORKS HIMSELF TO DEATH he starts off winning matches for a while until he OF COURSE begins failing and the guy OF COURSE cuts their contract.

at that point don is left with absolutely nothing because the guy even fine-printed the money don won out of the deal. he’s absolutely miserable with nowhere to go so he buys a 1 way ticket back to chicago to hunt down gori again and come groveling back, begging him to give him a second chance. gori‘s a hardass about it but eventually he accepts and they work to get don a COMBACK FIGHT in the ring again. and THAT IS PRETTY EXCITING!!

KUDOS IF YOU READ ALL OF THIS UH.

AKJFLHAJK gay badass smooches au that could be pretty much ANY au tbh. BOXING AU IS PROBABLY LESS GAY THAN A LOT OF THE OTHERS BECAUSE theyre so focused on their work but that doesnt mean smooches aren’t shared and cuddles aren’t had, this is don we’re talking about.

THE ASSHOLE IS LITERALLY JUST SOME BOXING AFICIONADO WITH A LOT OF MONEY. i always kinda imagined him looking like some kinda rounder tex rickard ripoff. MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. he buys off fighters from other managers by offering them more fame and fortune. and since he has his name behind some of the really good fighters at the time, people usually believe him (in don’s case, one of the guys who destroyed him in a match was owned by this jackoff). but in reality, the guy just nabs a boxer who is doing well in the fights at the time and gets money for him during that winning streak, then dumps them when they stop winning. he doesn’t even work with the boxers to train them or improve them he LITERALLY just uses them and abuses them.

firefox crashed twice with me trying to answer this i’m so mad but YES I CERTAINLY CAN AND I AM TOUCHED THAT YOU CARE TO ASK, ANON.
