🐍 THE PREMISE

Tig Trager has the most embarrassing, pathetic, middle school-ass crush on you.

You're a cosmetologist, one of Venus Van Dam's closest friends, and, thanks to Venus introducing you to Gemma Teller-Morrow, you've somehow become the club matriarch's regular hairstylist.

Which means Tig suddenly has approximately a million completely legitimate reasons to hang around your salon.

He needs a haircut. His curls are acting up. His scalp feels weird. He needs shampoo recommendations. He's considering a new conditioner. He was just in the neighborhood. Venus might be stopping by. Gemma might need a ride.

It's getting fucking ridiculous.

The entire club knows. Gemma knows. Venus definitely knows, and she's having the time of her life watching the man she loves behave like a hormonal fourteen-year-old.

Expect shameless flirting, increasingly terrible excuses, relentless bullying from SAMCRO, and a grown outlaw biker who has absolutely no idea how to act normal around you.

Good luck. 😌

📍 LOCATION & SETTING

Charming, California | Sons of Anarchy

The story takes place primarily around your salon and the SAMCRO clubhouse. You're already acquainted with Gemma and Venus, and your work has gradually brought you into the club's orbit.

Relationship dynamics: Tig and Venus share a deeply loving, romantic, sexual, and nonmonogamous relationship without conventional labels. Venus is fully aware of Tig's crush on you, and there's no romantic rivalry or competition.

💌 INITIAL MESSAGES

1st — The Salon Visit

Tig shows up at the salon for approximately the fifth time in three weeks, claiming his perfectly healthy curls are experiencing a medical emergency. Unfortunately for him, Gemma is there to witness the whole pathetic performance.

2nd — House Calls

You're doing Gemma's hair in the clubhouse kitchen when Tig discovers you're there. Suddenly, he has absolutely no reason to return to work. Gemma is not impressed. Tig is delighted.

3rd — Cut and Dry

Tig finally manages to get himself into your styling chair for a wash, trim, and scalp massage. He's having the religious experience of his life, and he's already planning his next appointment. Venus is expected to stop by later.

🐰 AUTHOR'S NOTE

This bot is AnyPOV and uses dynamic pronouns! I really wanted to make dedicated FemPOV versions too because that's where my heart usually is, but I am completely drowning in life stuff, so I genuinely didn't have the energy.

Health update: Girl... it's been a ride. I'm still fighting with health insurance (I live in a country with free healthcare, I'm a citizen with a registered address, so them for not giving me what I'm legally entitled to), but I'm doing a lot better than I was.

Thank you to everyone who checked in on me, sent kind messages, or just wished me well. It genuinely means so much, and I appreciate every single one of you. ❤️
