top 5 Parks and Rec ships: #3, April/Andy/Ben

I have a serious, serious thing for forced domestic intimacy, whether it’s a good pretend-to-be-married contrivance scenario or a good forced-to-be-roommates one. All that toothbrushing and accidentally seeing each other in their underpants!

And these three are such great forced-to-be-roommates because of the whole “two kids with a spineless babysitter” dynamic that somehow Ben seems to have accepted. He knows he’s going to be the one taking care of that three-legged dog, the same way he knows if they get pregnant he’s raising that baby, because he’s not going to send a three-legged dog OR a baby to its death. In the meantime you have Andy wrestling him by holding him down and doing weird things to him, and April being really aware of what kind of baths he takes. A++++, every episode should have a B plot of this household and there should be at least 3 times as much fic.

Parks and Recreation high school AU.

Hold me close, young Tony Danza.

You’ve got to dream up some weird scenario. Like you’re her boss and sex is forbidden because she works for you.

Frankly, Ben just sitting there letting this happen to him makes it seem like Ben badly needs to be cuddled.
