Summary
Prompt fills for various random/underappreciated Jeff Goldblum characters.
A running list will be kept in the notes of which chapters are for which characters, to make it easier to find what you want if you're just into one or two. Feel free to hit me up if you want to prompt something with a fave! I reblog different prompt lists at different times, but I am always up to write quick ficlets about... pretty much anything.
(prompts don't have to be shippy but I mean I have many ships)

On Michael Gold: Grief, Relationships, and Sexuality by AnnetheCatDetective
Fandoms: The Big Chill (1983)
07 Dec 2018

Summary
I wrote a fairly slapdash essay about Michael's feelings, sexual identity, relationships, and motivations, after a group watch of 'The Big Chill', and I've gone back and made something proper out of it.
This essay proposes that Michael was in love with the late Alex, and dives into the complicated relationships he has with grief/loss/death, with sex-- not only his own sexuality, but also the many reasons one might have for seeking sex outside of sexual desire-- and with the people he cares about.
I don't deal very heavily with the way that Alex died, here, only with the gaps he leaves and the effect on Michael. I'm sure it's worth exploring how this is different, for better and for worse, than an accident might have been, or death at someone else's hands, but... it's a hard one to grapple with and any exploration of how method-of-death affects Michael specifically would involve even wilder headcanoning and speculation...

Summary
I feel like I should apologize for this because it's entirely self indulgent, and will be read by like, two people from the 10 Out Of 10 Goldblums discord, but you know what, sometimes fanfic is just self-indulgence that only two people are going to read.
In which a bunch of college hippies just decide to have an orgy because the weekend would be boring otherwise, and almost all the action is out of focus.
