#ALL THE FEELINGS

[syoddeye]

consequence / brew [interlude]

price x f!reader | 540 words series directory tags: stupidly sweet, mild coffee snobbery a/n: i was overcome by mushy feelings. this is what came out of them. not the next chapter, but a pause. ☕

“i’ve never used one of these.”

“folks are oddly intimidated by them. they shouldn’t be. they’re simple, really.”

what would the boys say? kyle’d have his phone out, for certain.

john slightly slouches, peering over her shoulder and staring intently down his nose as she weighs the grounds on a small scale. the numbers flash and roll on the screen, and after a delicate scoop with a teaspoon, they’re apparently satisfactory.

“then this?” he slides the filter on the counter with a single finger, bumping her hand.

“yep.”

she folds the paper, slots it into the top of the pour-over, and aligns the thicker side to the spout.

“kettle?”

“ready.”

his lip twitches when she doesn’t even look away from the thing, as if conducting surgery, and reaches blindly behind herself to take the kettle by its handle and splash water onto the empty filter.

“and that helps it stay in place.”

“mhm.”

she adds the coffee with her free hand and flicks the glass with a finger to encourage them to settle evenly. then, she adds another couple of milliliters to cover the grounds.

he hums. a roasted, nutty scent curls in the air. the steam drifts, and after a brief glance at the side of her head, he leans into her space under the guise of catching another whiff.

“kind of smoky, huh?” she says, turning her head toward him.

her mouth is right there. half a step closer would spell trouble.

“i’m thinkin’ sweeter.” he lets that linger for all of a second before, “why’d you only pour a little?”

her head swivels, probably for the best. “i’m letting the grounds bloom. see how the coffee’s expanded? that’s the ‘bloom’. once the water’s slowed to a drip, i’ll add more.”

“why not fill it to the brim? shave off a minute or two?”

“you in a hurry?” she pivots on foot to set the kettle down and leans against the counter. for a moment, the only sound is the trickling water. brewing. “if you rush…the filter may break. dump all the sediment and ruin it.” she nods at the kettle.

john slowly takes the handle, arching a brow.

she nods again, inked arms crossing over her chest, eyes trailing after his hands as he moves to add more water. “you made a face when i got this out–”

he frowns. “i did not–”

“–and i’m sure i can guess what you were thinking. 'who uses those anymore? why not get a machine?' and i could. i could choose something more efficient. but i like this way of doing things. slow and deliberate.”

he nearly jumps when her hand brushes his forearm, gently guiding him to stop.

“i like to savor things, don’t you?”

it’s treacherous—the ache in his chest and the accompanying heat in his belly. pleasant, but barbed. hinting at something too good to be true. too good to last. a cup of coffee. a flower. 

life rarely allows him to relish. a trail of half-smoked cigars and nights of fitful sleep follow him. but here, in her flat, he wonders if this is his chance. if he’ll get a taste for it.

he steps closer. 

“i do.”

maybe he’ll let it bloom.

Accidental Chemistry - Part 3: All the Feelings

It had been just over two months since Elain began working at the Starlight Café. She’d already gotten a handful of paychecks, opened a bank account in her name, and made her first rent payment to Azriel, per her adamant request to do so.

The first two weeks of work had been rough. She’d been low on baby supplies before her paycheck came in and she was concerned about running out before she could afford to restock.

Elain was embarrassed to admit that she was counting diapers that second week, hoping she’d have enough to get her through to payday. But then a box of diapers appeared in her bedroom when she returned home from work and she wasn’t dumb enough to not know that Azriel had caught on to her counting and gone out to buy her a pack. They weren’t even the low-cost ones, but one of the major brands that cost twice as much. She was pretty sure he could hear her crying when she found them, but he didn’t say anything, and neither did she.

But she did write him a thank you on a sticky note and stuck it next to a plate of steaming cinnamon rolls before leaving for work the next morning. And when she got home, only a single cinnamon roll was left with a new sticky note attached. Her name in his handwriting was scrawled on the yellow sheet.

Steve Rogers is traumatised, pass it on

“You need to stop,” Bianca told him gently.

NO! A mental scream, but Bianca did not recoil, and Daniel did not hear.

“You must,” Bianca whispered. “He is not your Daniel right now. He doesn’t understand what to do with everything you are saying.”

“He does!” Armand argued. “Look, he cries with me.”

“You are distressing him,” Bianca said. She looked to him as she spoke to Armand. Of course, for she could still see into his mind as Armand could not. “He… Armand, he knows he cannot please you, and it’s destroying him.”

Soon?

[threegoblinart]

I know lots of people want to make it big as an artist, but I'm starting to think that's not for me.

I don't have thousands of fans, but I do have about two dozen feral art goblins who are so damn positive and supportive.

I don't get hateful messages, I don't get demands; instead my art goblins go crazy over sketchbook pages and redraws, they point out improvement without criticizing the past. Heck, they regularly tell me not to overwork myself and to take breaks.

And if I spend the next few years just making art for the same two dozen feral art goblins, but feel like this the whole time that will be quite the achievement.

hey, how was school today?

Goes from writing a smutty Joel’s POV fic to the heaviest angst I’ve ever written 😂

[noneedtoamputate]

Always nice to wake up to AO3 comments on short fics I wrote ages ago.

Confession of a terrible Star Wars fan:

I just watched Rogue One for the first time*

*actually I’ve attempted in 4 other occasions and fallen asleep partway every single time and never viewed it all the way before now.

So. Good. I sort of knew what I was missing. Especially because Andor was everything. But whooboyhowdeyhey that was damn good, and now I’ve got all the feelings.

[lets-get-brave]

Read the Anders short story. Do it. It will give you all the feelings.

Buck’s version

[i-am-having-a-moment-here]

I'm currently rewatching Good Omens 2 (because how else am I supposed to cope?) and I'm still too shock to be coherent, but here are some of the reason why I absolutely adore the first scene:

The wonderful CGI

The music

The fact that they knew each other pre-Fall

Angel!Crowley's pure joy, innocence and Tenth Doctor's energy

Aziraphale's disappointment when he realizes Crowley wasn't adressing him when he said "look at you, you gorgeous"

"How much trouble can I get into just for asking a few questions", which painfully reminds me of "what has hector ever done to me?"

Crowley covering Aziraphale with his wing? POETIC CINEMA

I was so excited and moved the first time I watched it without knowing what was coming and it's so delightful I'm sure I'll never get tired of seeing it time and again 😭

[thesolarangel]

I'm rewatching the show and idk how many times I watched it already, but I still can't get over how pretty and soft our Robrond is.....

The scenes with Gil-galad "hope is never mere" (the tears in his eyes omg) Celebrimbor "he was the only one who could do it" (again, teary eyes) and Durin "the fate of the entire elven race is in your hands" (the way he tells Durin the truth, his expressions...) I'm - 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I love him so much... His acting is so emotional and kind and strong and perfect❤️

[jeridandridge]

I fear you aren’t ready for this next chapter of For Lovers at Night.

[sheafrotherdon]

I bought a ticket to see The Eight Mountains, streaming from Sundance, and oh, it is beautiful. The story, the acting, the kids who play young Bruno and Pietro, the cinematography, the story, the story, the story.

Sundance only gives allows you five hours of viewing time, or I would be watching it again already.  My heart.
