#Sebastian Moran’s childhood

[teenbasher]

fuck, y’all will never understand how badly I miss the twins. Like I know Alex doesn’t exist in canon & Seb doesn’t have a twin & if he does, people usually make Severin his twin. Who doesn’t actually exist either in canon, but feels way more real because of all of the thousands of people who head canoned him. & don’t get me wrong I LOVE Severin. But in my head obvs he is the responsible, respectable older brother who despite how much of a mess Sebastian may be, he doesn’t give up on his little brother & I love that for him.

Severin is Sebastian’s rock when he is at rock bottom & I like to think that it is because of Severin that Sebastian gets his act together (at least partially lol) & gets into the army after he gets cleaned from the drugs & eventually ends up to live into adulthood & meet Jim.

But the whole story of Alex & Seb being the bestest of friends and inseparable as twins tend to be. Having Alex be Seb’s first ever source of love, companionship, care & encouragement during the twins formative years & equally losing him in such a traumatic & heart breaking way, still during those formative years, to not only go on to be eaten up by guilt from his own, under developed child minded perspective & blame himself, but also be blamed & hated by his father for it the rest of childhood & see first hand how his mother fell apart because of it. is particularly poetically tragic that it makes me long for the sweet, fleeing moments of innocent childhood happiness the two had for the short years Alex was alive. & sometimes I like to imagine how nice it would have been for seb if his brother had grown up with him & maybe softened the harsh environment Sebastian grew up in, practically alone & abandoned since Severin was sent off to school shortly after the accident, having him being much older than the twins in my head canon.

dang. I meant to write this as a reflective pice about the twins relationship because I miss Alex but now I just made myself sad 🥲

Hi all 🔎

21+ here looking for a (BBC) Sherlock roleplay! Ideally looking to play as Moriarty against pretty much anyone - a Sherlock, Sebastian Moran, or any male oc! Open to other (male) canon muses too if you play them and think it could work.

Obviously plots/setting would depend on your character, but I have a few ideas we could toss around and I’d love to hear anything you have in mind so we can create a fun story together!

I’m a detailed writer and my replies are usually novella length/ranging from 500 words to 2000 words. I don’t expect novella replies, but I’d like someone who can give me a fair amount to sink my teeth into - sorry, but please don’t interact if you write short replies, it won’t be fair on either of us. I love character analysis, world building, headcanons, multi-muses, angst, slow burn, childhood sweethearts, enemies to lovers, everything; I’ll happily write threads with other characters to help your muse’s development, if you’ll do the same for me.

I have no triggers and would imagine there will be some dark stuff given the nature of the setting/characters - mental health issues, crime, drug/alcohol abuse, physical/mental abuse, etc. We can work that out ourselves though and what we’re both comfortable with. I’m okay with nsfw but prefer to focus on plot (think 80/20 - 90/10 plot/smut ratio). I don’t play as or against strict subs/bottoms and love to play with that idea with characters like Moriarty, so please be open in that regard.

I write on discord or open to google docs!

like if you're interested and op will reach out

Hello! Do you have any Mormor fic recs? :)

Hey Nonny!

AHHHHH, not any personal recs, but here's what came up on my offline list for the tag:

Before The World Was Made by pasiphile(E, 16,366 w., 10 Ch. || MorMor) – In Which Jim Faces His Past (and Seb Stands By And Watches) Part 4 of This Life Is A Trip (When You're Psycho In Love)

Oxidation by abbykate (E, 27,969 w., 4 Ch. || Artist Sherlock AU || Magical Realism, Oil Painting, Dream Sex, Drug Abuse, Dreams, Modern Art, Cigarettes, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Viclock, Mormor, Lestrolly) – as oil paintings dry, the process is not evaporation as there is no water in the paint to disappear; instead, the oils in the paint are oxidised causing them to harden over years in a process that never really stops.

Rust Red Skies by bakerstreetashtray (E, 73,597 w., 26 Ch. || Army/Military AU || MorMor) – Jim Moriarty is a newly qualified medic, uncertain about the job and heading out to Afghanistan to be posted out with a team. NEO Team, to be specific - headed by one, Captain Sebastian Moran. Working under impossible conditions in a volatile area, inexperienced with saving lives and recovering from a troubled childhood, the attention of the Captain is the last thing on Jim's mind. And yet, it might just become the first.

In Madness Lies Sanity by 7PercentSolution (E, 74,242 w., 22 Ch. || MorMor || Case Fic, POV Moran, Angst, Betrayal, Revenge, Loss, Grief/Mourning, Trust, Extortion, Entrapment, Blood and Torture) – A tale of life after lies and betrayal, the story of how Sebastian Moran learns the truth about Jim Moriarty, and how that truth changes his life. Part Five of the Forethought and Fire series starts after the events of Few Escape the Gallows ended so dramatically on Hampstead Heath, with Sherlock challenging Jim Moriarty to a duel. When Sherlock lets Moran go, did he know what he was doing? A mirror story of Between The Fall And The Creation, happening simultaneously with it. It will stand alone but the two stories share a common timeline of events and should be read together to maximise the impact. Part 5 of the Forethought and Fire series

Few Escape the Gallows by  7PercentSolution & shelleysprometheus(E, 79,605 + w., 22/25 Ch. || WiP || Grieving John, Case Fic, Angry Moran, Torture, Domestic Violence, Knife Play, Blood and Injury, BDSM, Sulking Sherlock, MorMor) – Sherlock is dead. Moriarty is free. And John is ... falling. What do you do when you have nothing to lose? Following on from A Dead Man's Money, this fic pits a grieving John Watson against an angry Sebastian Moran. Mycroft is scheming in the background and Moriarty is making mischief. And Sherlock ... ? Part 3 of the Forethought and Fire series

Forethought and Fire Series by  7PercentSolution & shelleysprometheus (E, 352,650+ w. across 5 works || Series WiP || MorMor & Johnlock, Gay Sherlock, Bisexual John, Pining,Angst, Established Relationship, Shady Mycroft, Domestic Violence, Grief/Mourning, Cases, BAMF John) – The case, this case. This extraordinary, fascinating, scintillating case. A house. Designed entirely by its eccentric owner, built by no less than five hundred expert tradesmen in the heart of Marrakesh. A house that had, seemingly not only driven its owner out, but also to his quite unpleasant death. And a perfumer, a chemist no less, the very thought of the secrets that house could reveal, would reveal was irresistible. Sherlock had to have this case ... and it seems, he also had to have John!

Feel free to add more, my friends, since it's not a ship I personally read :P

Six year old Sebastian’s eyes shoot open as he suddenly finds it hard to breath. Gasping as he tries to find the air that left him his body slightly twitches trying to grasp his sheets underneath him as his little brain enters survival mode and his body tries to find anything to support him & ground him as he tries to fight the desperation the lack of air ignites inside of him.

As he does this. His eyes are met with a dark figure towering over him and tightness around his neck growing as the pain in his lungs, throat and head get worst & he barely manages to grasp the slightest bit of air as he fights to breath.

más his brain tries to fight the pain and fight to live. his heart shatters & panic grows, hearing his father’s voice in the darkness as the intimidating figure grows blurry, finding himself crying of pain & fear.

“die, you, little, bastard…..I never loved you……you have been the biggest mistake of my life. This family would have been much happier if you had never been born”

Augustus’s drunken slurring fills the room as he begins to squeeze Sebastian’s throat even harder.

the pain Sebastian felt grows to be too much for the small child & everything goes black. ———————————————————————————

Feeling the warmth of the sun & light hit his face

Sebastian scrunches up his face, instinctively pulling up his bedsheets over himself trying to block out the light.

coming to in the middle of the thought however he opens his eyes wide, panicked remembering the scary dream he had the night before.

except, as soon as his mind came to. unbearable pain shot up in his throat & head making the child panic & a sense of terror come over him.

sitting up slowly, feeling disoriented he pulls the covers off him, realizing he had an accident.

whimpering, afraid his father would see it & punish him. he gets up as best as he can & tries to take off the dirty bedsheets to hide & try to wash when he can.

after he walks up to the bedroom mirror to see for himself why his throat felt so sore, hoping to find nothing & realize his head is playing tricks on him. But to his horror he is meet with deep burning around his neck in the shape of fingers as his worst fear is confirmed.

panicking he runs over to his bedroom door & locks it before crumbling into a little ball on the floor, sobbing his heart out, feeling afraid, in pain and unwanted.

Sebastian stayed inside his room all day, being in pain & confused.

when night came he grabbed his & Alex’s tiger & lion teddies, a picture of his family that stood on Alex’s night table a blanket & pillow & made another trip out to the near by forest to spend the night where he would start to gradually start to spend more and more nights in. As his father’s temperament and abuse escalated through the years.

[jaggedlittleteacup]

A Comprehensive Guide to Sherlockian Abbreviations

It has come to my attention that some of you poor lads have no idea what us Sherlockians are referring to.

So, I’m going to do my best to explain! I’ll start simple, so don’t worry.

~

Johnlock: A fictional ship between John Watson and Sherlock Holmes. If you don’t know what this is, I don’t know if I can help you.

Mystrade: A fictional ship between Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade. Even though, well, they’ve barely shared a single scene together.

Adlock: A fictional ship between Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes. Irene is canonically a lesbian, but you do you, I suppose.

Sheriarty: A fictional ship between Sherlock Holmes and Jim Moriarty. Referenced in TEH as a possible canon solution to Sherlock’s faked death. Also known as ‘Jimlock’.

Sherlolly: A fictional ship between Sherlock Holmes and Molly Hooper. She’s honestly way too good for him.

Warstan: A (sadly) canonical ship between John Watson and Mary Morstan. It’s…okay at the best of times. Dunno what Moftiss was thinking. Also, the ship name is quite awful.

Moftiss: An amalgamation of the names Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. Used to refer to the writers of BBC Sherlock in unison.

Sherlock Meta: A theory based on careful analysis of an episode/scene of BBC Sherlock. Fan-made.

TJLC: The Johnlock Conspiracy. It’s a giant conspiracy theory involving thousands of metas and such about people who are convinced that Johnlock is the endgame of the show.

TRMoJaS: This reminds me of John and Sherlock. Used by fans when stumbling upon a piece of media that triggers a recollection of the titular characters.

The Secret Episode: A supposedly filmed but unreleased episode of Series Four (?). Highly unreliable, likely a figment of hopeful imaginations.

The Purple Shirt of Sex: A purple button-up that is sinfully tight and parodied, as a result of the buttons always looking like they’re about to pop off. Seriously, go look up Ben in a purple shirt. You won’t regret it.

Tarmac Hell: A scene from His Last Vow in which Sherlock aborts a supposed love confession to John to instead tell him that ‘Sherlock is actually a girl’s name’. Hell for everyone involved.

ACD Canon: Events that happened in the Original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle publications of ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’. Often referenced in metas.

The Elephant in the Room: A supposed euphemism for Johnlock. Also a popular meta in which elephants are referenced throughout the series of BBC Sherlock.

Character Mirror: A minor or major character meant to simulate another character in actions to recall a certain scene for the audience. (Ex. Sholto/Sherlock, Irene/Sherlock, etc.)

[Sebastian] Moran: A sniper (originally from ACD Canon) referenced often in Sherlock metas, and Moriarty’s right hand man. John mirror. Not included in BBC Sherlock, but a popular part of fandom culture. Often depicted as in an unhealthy relationship with his boss, Jim Moriarty.

The Gay Bar Scene: A deleted scene from BBC Sherlock. John and Sherlock go to a gay bar for entirely heterosexual reasons.

Harriet ‘Harry’ [Watson]: An alcoholic, and also John’s elder sister. Referenced in BBC Sherlock. Often portrayed as being either divorced or married to her wife, Clara.

Victor [Trevor]: Sherlock’s childhood best friend who was murdered by his sister, Eurus. Revealed in TFP. Alternative name is ‘Redbeard’.

TPLoSH: Short for ‘The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes’. It’s a movie in which Sherlock Holmes is canonically gay. It’s often talked about by Moftiss.

Granada Holmes: A seven season Sherlock Holmes TV show starring Jeremy Brett. Many find that Holmes and Watson are essentially married in this series, so a few fans have made the fandom switch to this show.

Richie Verse: The unfinished Holmes and Watson movie trilogy starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. The titular pair in these films are undeniably in love, and (according to a popular source) may have the first Johnlock canon in cinematic history.

Bisexual Lighting: In which John Watson is bathed in purple, pink, and blue lighting while in a bar. Questionable music plays.

The Gay Pilot: The original unaired pilot of BBC Sherlock. Called the ‘Gay Pilot’ for being incredibly homoerotic, and also for the set looking like a 70s p*rn shoot. Runtime was only an hour, and there were a few notable cast changes, including Angelo and Sally Donovan.

ASiP: A Study in Pink. Episode one, series one of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Jeff Hope and Moriarty.

TBB: The Blind Banker. Episode two, series one of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Shan and M.

TGG: The Great Game. Episode three, series one of BBC Sherlock. Villain is Jim Moriarty.

ASiB: A Scandal in Belgravia. Episode one, series two of BBC Sherlock. Villain is Irene Adler.

THoB: The Hounds of Baskerville. Episode two, series two of BBC Sherlock. Villain is Dr. Bob Frankland.

TRF: The Reichenbach Fall. Episode three, series two of BBC Sherlock. Villain is Jim Moriarty.

TEH: The Empty Hearse. Episode one, series three of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Lord Moran and C.A.M.

TSoT: The Sign of Three. Episode two, series three of BBC Sherlock. Villains are C.A.M., Mayfly Man, and (in my opinion) Mary.

The Stag Night: A sub-class of TSoT. In which Sherlock and John do unspeakably homoerotic things that reek of unresolved sexual tension. The tension is not relieved. They get arrested. Villains are the writers, for queerbaiting their fans.

HLV: His Last Vow. Episode three, series three of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Charles Augustus Magnussen and Mary Watson (Morstan? Rosamund Mary?).

TAB: The Abominable Bride. Episode four, series three of BBC Sherlock. (Originally aired as a TV movie that won a Primetime Emmy.) Also known as the ‘Gay Victorian Fever Dream’ to avid fans. Villains are Emelia Ricoletti, Sir Eustace Carmichael, Jim Moriarty, Mary Watson (Morstan? Rosamund Mary?).

TST: The Six Thatchers. Episode one, series four of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Vivian Norbury, Ajay, and Mary Watson (Morstan? Rosamund Mary?).

TLD: The Lying Detective. Episode two, series four of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Culverton Smith and John Watson.

TFP: The Final Problem. Episode three, series four of BBC Sherlock. Villains are Eurus Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, Jim Moriarty, and Moftiss.

James Bond

•James loved to hang out with you

•you were everything he wished in an older sister

•the way you would always accompany him to his shopping; chatting about everything you two are interested in,and the way you always take care of him

•makes him feel safe

•having you in his life might be one of the best things that has ever happened to him

•because he can share his every thought with you;his worries, sadness,joy and happiness

•you always make him feel like home

•like when he used to get injured while playing in the street,and would run home to his mother

•you feel the same

•safe, comforting

•a presence he'll make sure to care for forever

Fred

•Fred isnt someone who need much comfort , simply because he didnt feel much love since childhood

•but,the day you had met him,while he was injured

•fussed over him like a mother,or a big sister would

•he founded himself seeking your present whenever he needed some rest of mind

•a place to run to;away from the harsh world

•to you,with you open arms

•and soothing voice

•and Fred knew then,that he'll always care for you as his family

Sebastian Moran

•Sebastian isn't used to someone fuss over him like you do

•despite being younger than him,and much more shorter

•you always scold him when he comes home injured or drunk

•with gentle hands on his wounds;pushing his hair out of his eyes

•Sebastian finds himself relaxed just by your presence

•he's older than you;yet he always comes to you when days get too much

•Sebastian never had a home

•and he never thought he'll ever have one

•but when he closes his eyes,and rests his head on your shoulder or on your lap

•he knows this is how a home feels

•to Sebastian, you'll forever be his safe place to run to

☎ 𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒚'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔: hello, dear! this has been sitting in my drafts for a while so i deeply apologize! i wasn’t sure if i could fit angst and fluff in one story but, here you go! hope you’ll like it! now go ahead and check out the story <3 since this might get a little long, rest of the story is under the cut! <3

Boredom took over the assassin as he awaits the next step of Moriarty’s plan. They’ve just arrived and he had already done the things he was supposed to, so here he was, sitting by himself inside the dining area. He was looking around glancing at the people chattering amongst themselves and filling up their stomachs until his gaze stopped at a maiden, a maiden so familiar that he was reminded of his childhood friend.

“...Y/N?” mumbled Sebastian to himself, he stared at the woman a little longer to confirm his suspicions, he shook his head and continue drinking his beverage before telling himself that it could be anyone else. As he placed his beverage back on the table, Fred was suddenly sitting in front of him, this made the male choke on his drink before looking back at Fred, “why didn’t you at least give a sign that you’re here?!”

He got no response from Fred as he did not feel like talking, he drank the beverage he ordered and stayed there in silence. Moran let out a sigh and let him hang around with him, his gaze stayed on the familiar maiden as memories replayed through his head, memories that held promises he never kept.

The maiden sensed a pair of eyes staring at her, which caused her to look away from the nobleman beside her and then to Sebastian. Her eyes widened for a bit as she thought, “is that... Sebastian? That can’t be, he’s dead.” 

“Is something the matter?” asked the nobleman, the woman shook her head as she continued sipping on her drink and entertaining the man beside her. They had short eye contact before Sebastian broke his gaze and talked to Fred - who just stayed silent and enjoyed his beverage.

Minutes later, Sebastian was walking down the halls to retreat to his room until he bumped into someone. “Oof — sorry,” apologized the male as he continued walking, but before he could go any further, “Sebastian?” He turned around and to his surprise, it was the maiden he was staring at earlier. 

Sebastian stayed silent for a while before asking, “how did you know my name?” He refused to believe this was Y/N, it couldn’t be or he would be in a bit of trouble with her. “Don’t play with me, you know who I am! We were friends,” exclaimed the woman before sighing, Sebastian grabbed her wrist and entered his room to continue the conversation. “What the hell are you doing?!” She immediately yanked her wrist away before sending a glare at him, “don’t get too comfortable with me.” 

Sebastian grumbled as he let out a sigh, “I know you’re upset, I’m sorry.” Silence took over the atmosphere right after he voiced out his apology, it was starting to get a little awkward, but he wanted to stay in her presence a little longer. 

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Sebastian’s waist, pulling him closer into a hug. “I missed you,” mumbled Y/N, “I have no time to be angry at you, I don’t have much time to be with you.” Sebastian stayed silent, wanting to ask how she was and who was that nobleman, but no words came out of his mouth as he hugged the maiden closer, basking himself in her presence.

“Do you still remember?” asked Y/N.

“Our promise? Yes,” answered Sebastian.

A comfortable silence took over them once again, both a little afraid to break the ice as they continued to hug each other close. He pulled away from the hug as he caressed her cheek, “you look even more beautiful than when I last saw you.” He hugged her tightly once again, missing the familiar feeling of her touch and her familiar scent that never fails to calm his nerves.

“Where have you been?” asked Y/N, “you could’ve sent me a letter telling me you were alright.” Sebastian pulled away from the hug as he looked at the maiden, “I work for someone now.” 

“Who is it?”

“I don’t think I can tell you,” a sigh escaped from the maiden’s lips, wondering why he was being so secretive to her, “and you? What are you up to?” The maiden stayed silent for a moment, debating whether she should tell him the truth or tell him she was doing fine. 

“I work as an escort for noblemen, attending to their needs and... such,” said Y/N, “I just need the money for mom, she’s suffering from a sickness and we need the money to pay for her operation bills.” Sebastian stayed silent for a moment, thinking if he should ask for a loan to the Moriartys just so he could help the poor lady. 

“If you’re thinking about borrowing money,” spoke Y/N as if she read his mind, “don’t, it’s alright, I just need a few more and I can pay off the bills.” 

“... I wish I could help you.”

“And I wish I can still be with you.”

Sebastian was slightly shocked hearing those words escape your lips, how he wished for the same, but it looks like fate wouldn’t allow it. A bitter chuckle escaped the maiden’s lips as she looked up at Sebastian with a tear-stained face, “I want to hate you for leaving me like that, but I can’t.” 

Tears threatened to cascade down her cheek and she continued, “I can’t, because I still fucking love you!” Sebastian wiped away her tears as he spoke, “I know I was an asshole for leaving you in the dark like that, and you have every right to hate m─”

“Y/N! Dear, where are you?” An unfamiliar voice echoed outside through the halls, it was the nobleman that Y/N was with. Her breath hitched as soon as she heard his voice, immediately turning around to twist the doorknob, but Sebastian grabbed her hands before she could open the door.

“Can you stay a little longer?” whispered the male, feeling his heart break a little, he did not want to let her go so easy now that he had the chance to be with her, even if it was for a little while. “Please stay, tell me you don’t want to leave, that I’m enough for you,” whispered the male, completely aware that it was a little uncharacteristic for him to beg for her to stay. 

“I do want to stay, but I can’t be with you. Not now,” said Y/N as she tried to stop the tears from welling up her eyes, she did not want anyone— especially the nobleman— to notice her bloodshot eyes and ask if she was crying.

“Goodbye, colonel. If fate desires, maybe we’ll see each other again.” 

And with that, the maiden wiped her tears and left the room. The male sat down as he tried to ignore the intense pain from the old memories playing in his head, desperately wishing there was a way he could be with her and fulfil the promise they had.

☎ 𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒚'𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆: i think this is mostly angst, sorry about that! to be frank, i feel like i didn’t do this request well i’m sorry! anyway, hope you liked it! do come back soon, love! stay safe!

Sebastian grumbled under his breath, annoyed with the work that William had him do.

“‘Those who do not work in this house aren’t treated as people.’” Sebastian scoffed as he glanced over at the list. “Louis should be glad I’m on good terms with William.”

The ex-colonel should’ve been back at the estate an hour ago but he felt somewhat spiteful and decided to stay out longer. He had finished everything he needed but he had no clue what to do. It was already lunch and his stomach was silently growling but he refused to face the brothers just yet.

That was until he stopped in front of a quaint bakery with the words Fox’s Biscuits painted on a hanging sign.

“Isn’t this…” He looked at the bakery window, mouthwatering biscuits on display for everyone to see.

“These are the biscuits Father bought for me when I was younger.”

Longing for a sense of his childhood, Sebastian walked into the small shop.

In an instant, the sickly sweet smell of chocolate hit his nose and the bell above the door rang out. It was a small space but one could feel the dedication put into the little treats. “Hello?” Sebastian called out as soon as he realized he had been alone for at least two minutes.

“Just a moment!”

Crashes and clangs could be heard from behind a door that presumably led to a kitchen. You burst through the door, your apron stained with chocolate and your right cheek was covered in a light dust of flour.

Sebastian stared at you with wide eyes, not sure if he should focus on the disorderly ruin that was yourself or the absolute charm that you carried. “You have a little something—” He pointed to his cheek and your cute eyes widened a smidge.

You frantically turned around, swiping at both cheeks and turning around when you felt like you were clean. “How may I help you today?”

Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat when you smiled widely, his cheeks feeling a little flush. He shook his head.

“Those biscuits by the door; how much are they?” You took a step to the side to see which one he was talking about. “Oh, it’s 10 shillings for each one.” You informed him, walking to the stacked treats with a cloth in hand. “How many would you like?”

A sly grin painted Sebastian’s features and he turned to face you. “3 pieces please.” You barely picked up the second biscuit before you felt a presence looming behind you. “Perhaps, I can have you too if I pay extra.” He whispered in your ear.

Heat spread across your face as you quickly shoved the rest of the biscuits in the small bag. You shoved the biscuits his way and held out your other hand expectantly. “Th-That’s 30 shillings!” You cursed the way you stuttered.

Sebastian laughed at your flustered state as he handed you the payment. He shot you a teasing glance.

“I can’t bake very well but I can show you how good I am with my hands.” Your eyes widened again at the implication and you shoved him towards the exit.

“Thank you for coming to our bakery!” You breathed out a sigh of relief. One patron down… only many more to come.

The ex-colonel swung the bag leisurely as he strode into the manor, forgetting about lunch. “Where were you, Sebastian?” Louis asked as soon as he opened the door.

“Getting myself food.”

The bell rang in your little family shop and you smiled, heading out to greet the next customer with freshly baked biscuits in hand.

“Good afternoon–” Your smile dropped when you realized who came into the bakery.

“What’s with the frown, sweetheart?” Sebastian cooed and you narrowed your eyes at him. “Did you not wish I would come back?”

“I wish you never came at all.” The man stilled for a moment but laughed when you walked past him to restock the display case. “You were here yesterday, were you not?” He turned to see you carefully placing the treats on the platter. “Yes but I’m here to buy more of those delicious biscuits you sell.”

Sebastian stalked closer to you just as you spun around to point the tray in his face. “Personal space, please.” He raised his hands in resignation and backed up. You walked back to the counter to place the warm tray on top. “You weren’t complaining yesterday.”

“I didn’t expect yesterday. Now, how many biscuits would you like?” Before he opened his mouth, you continued. “And buy enough so I don’t have to see you again.”

Sebastian laughed again, enjoying your quips. “You seem very spirited today, m’love.” You rolled your eyes. “Either you buy something or you can get out of the shop.” The man walked towards you but you stood your ground this time, arms crossed.

“Your biscuits are delicious but I bet you taste even better.” Your face heated up and Sebastian grinned. “Th-The way out is right behind you.”

Why do I always stutter?

“You’re adorable when you get shy on me.” You shot him a pointed glare and he chuckled. “I’ll have the whole display.” Sebastian thoroughly enjoyed the way your shy attitude appeared when he spoke.

“Th-The whole—” Sebastian chuckled and leaned on a nearby wall. “Yes, sweetheart; the whole case.” Of course, you needed the money but could the man even afford it?

“Th-That’s 100 shillings.” Sebastian took another glance at the display and shook his head. “Come now sweetheart, all of that is at least 600 shillings.” You shook your head.

“600 shillings is too much!” The thought of even getting mad at his previous words flew out of your head as he insisted on paying the full price. “Please, I’ll lower the price.”

Sebastian smiled as he reached into his coat and pulled out a satchel of coins. “It must have taken a painstakingly long time to make all those biscuits, it’s only right I pay you in full.” He placed the bag on the counter and you slid it back towards him. “I don’t have time to count 100 shillings! Please, that would be more than enough.”

This continued on for another ten minutes before he finally got you to settle on paying half of the original price.

“Enjoy your biscuits!” You called out to him just as the door barely closed behind him. Thankfully the door had a large glass pane and he turned around, offering a small wave before walking off.

You watched as he left the front of the shop and your eyes drifted to the empty display case.

“What in God’s name happened.”

Sebastian was aware that the last time he saw you was the other day, but he did comprehend that coming back the day after buying 60 biscuits would look rather odd. Telling Louis he had to run an errand in the town, the ex-colonel set off to your little bakery. Considering how empty it was the last two times he saw you, Sebastian expected it to be the same.

What he didn’t expect was a large crowd that seemed too big to be inside of the bakery.

Sebastian carefully opened the door and was greeted with the bustling sound of people chatting as they waited for their treats. Being the tall man he was, he searched for you in the crowd until he saw you rush out of the kitchen with your hair a complete mess.

“Thank you for being so patient, have a great day!” You said breathlessly and the patron nodded, wishing you well before leaving. They passed by Sebastian and he watched as they left the shop. He turned his attention back to you, who wore the same smile that made his heart stutter as you helped the next customer.

God only knows how long Sebastian was in the shop but the last customer left and you slumped against the counter. “Is that how you hold yourself in front of your patrons?” You groaned and he laughed.

“You bought 60 biscuits the other day and I still have to make the next batch, why are you back?” You glanced up at him and he shrugged. “Can I not wait for the biscuits?” You kept staring at him and he shot you a questioning glance.

“I can give you an estimated time for when the biscuits are done.” You yawned as you stood up and stretched. “I saw you come in a while ago, do you not have anywhere to be?”

Sebastian leaned against the counter and sighed. “Not today.”

Not having the energy to make him leave, you simply walked back into the kitchen and he watched as the door swung behind you.

It had been three minutes since you disappeared behind the doors and Sebastian was about to leave before you emerged from the kitchen. “If you’re staying until I make the next batch, then I want you to try this.” You said as you place down a small plate with two chocolate covered biscuits. “My father doesn’t know about these so I want to see if these taste good.” He took a glance at the plate and looked up at you.

“You couldn’t try them yourselves?” He asked as you stood across from him, arms folded. “I’d be favored to like them because I made them.” A beat of silence passed as you stared at each other.

“They’re not poisoned, if that’s what you’re worried about.” An impressed look crossed Sebastian’s face as he picked up the biscuit and ate it. You watched closely as the man in front of you chewed your creation. “Is that jam and cream?”

“Don’t talk with your mouth full, it’s indecent.” Sebastian snorted as he took another bite. “You sound like my mum.” You smiled softly as he started to reach for the second one.

“Keep staring like that, I might have to eat something else.” He said as he winked at you.

“Y-You—!”

Sebastian’s visits became routine and each time he came in, your day got a little better. You scoffed. Like you would ever tell him that.

“Darling!” Sebastian called out as he opened the door. “You know, I don’t even know your name and you’ve been coming here for two weeks.” You stated as you cleaned down the counter.

“Aw, you want to put a name to a face so you can moan it tonight?” He cooed and you slammed your towel down, flustered. “O-One day without suggesting those things! I-Is that too much to ask?” Sebastian laughed and you went back to furiously wiping down the counter.

He smiled as he walked towards you and placed his hand on yours. “If you keep scrubbing like that, the wood will wear down.” You sighed and relaxed your grip on the washing cloth. “Your hands are warm.” You said and he chuckled.

“The cloth’s gone cold.” He pointed out and you rolled your eyes. “I didn’t realize.” Sebastian snorted and took the cloth out of your hands. “Here.” He took both of your hands and held them in his, breathing out slowly on them. He looked at you, taking note of the dark circles under your eyes.

If you were working yourself that much, he would make you take this short break to relax.

You looked up at your hands and suddenly felt shy at the intimate contact. “(Y/N),” you muttered, looking away.

Sebastian glanced up at you and huffed softly. “Sebastian.” You continued to let him warm up your hands.

A serene silence fell over the two of you as he exhaled softly on your hands.

That was until your sister barged into the shop, back from the market. “(Y/N)!” All three of you paused as you stared at each other. You watched as your sister’s eyes traveled from yours to your intertwined hands and you instantly flared up.

“I was just handing him biscuits!” You yelped, yanking your hands out of Sebastian’s. You looked at him and nodded your head towards the exit. “Thank you so much for coming!” Sebastian grinned and he leaned in closer to you. “I’ll come back for you tomorrow, sweetheart.”

He knew he said this loud enough for you sister to hear. “Good day!” He smiled innocently, nodding to the girl by the door and walked out.

You watched as he left, not noticing your sister walking up and taking her place next to you. She watched with you as Sebastian walked away and took note of the subtle starry gaze in your eyes.

“Now I understand why you always want to watch the shop.”

You fidgeted as Sebastian walked into the shop once again. What was this? His 40th time at the shop? You shook your head. It didn’t matter.

I will ask him!

“What’s troubling you, sweetheart?” Even through the teasing tone, you could hear some worry and you just decided to spit it out.

“Would you like to accompany me to the moorish dance tonight?” Sebastian’s eyes widened as you stared up at him with unintentionally large eyes. The man knew he had a persona to hold in front of you but felt himself failing as he struggled to fight the blush rising on his cheeks.

“Only if you’ll accompany me to my bed tonight.” He watched as your eyes narrowed and you puffed out your chest, crossing your arms. “Forget I asked.” He laughed as you turned away from him. “I’m just playing around!” You stuck your tongue out childishly and turned away again.

“You’re pouting!”

“No I’m not!”

You two continued to bicker until he apologized, albeit through laughs. “I’m serious though, Sebastian.” He looked at you with a fond smile and he exhaled.

“I’d be honored.” You turned to face him with the same smile you used when you first greeted him, except this time it was wider and you looked like you were about to bounce over the counter. “But I really thought I would be the first to ask you.”

“Let customs lay themselves to rest for a bit, Sebastian.”

The dance was some time later at night so you decided to close shop early and walk around the town with Sebastian.

He had never seen you so talkative before and it was very interesting to see you speak without having to put him in his place every five minutes.

“So, do you and your sister run the bakery by yourselves?” Sebastian asked as you walked down the bustling road. “Lately. My father had been overworking himself so my sister and I decided to take over for him.” You smiled as a girl ran past your legs, her little brother following shortly after.

He watched on with a fond look as you continued talking about the bakery and all the baking mishaps that made you the person you were today. “That sounds like it requires a lot of effort.” You chuckled as you reached a secluded tree, not too far from the town but enough to be alone.

“It does, but the son of my father’s friend likes to help from time to time.” The sound of a possible competitor peaked his interest and sat down beside you on the grass. “The son of your father’s friend?” You nodded as you stared at the town and leaned on the tree.

“He’s a wonderful boy, very enthusiastic about helping me and my sister.” You turned to face him with an excited expression. “Oh, I’ll introduce you at the dance later! He’s helping the men set up but we should be able to see him!” The alpha male in Sebastian refused to let himself lose the one good thing he could possibly have in his life.

“You hid the whole jar?”

“Mrs. Pettor makes the best jams! I wasn’t going to let my family finish it!” Sebastian laughed as you defended yourself.

It was almost time for the dance and you both were walking to the town center.

“I’ve been talking all this time.” You realized and you turned to Sebastian. “Tell me more about—” You cut yourself off with a squeak as you were lifted off of your feet.

Sebastian watched as a blonde boy swung you around. “A-Alexander!” The boy put you down, a grin on his face.

The blond boy looked at you and you smiled back before Sebastian cleared his throat. “Oh, right!” You turned to face Sebastian and grinned. “Alexander, this is Sebastian! Sebastian, Alexander!” The shorter man held out his hand, blue eyes instantly hardening.

“Hello Sebastian,” Alexander said as Sebastian shook his hand. “Alexander.” You looked between the two and felt a tense aura emanating from them before you clapped your hands.

“Shall we go to the dance?” Alexander let go of Sebastian’s hand and immediately faced you. “Of course!” The blond grabbed your hand and you were barely able to get ahold of Sebastian’s before Alexander took off running.

Cheers and music filled the air and the sound of shoes hitting stone echoed throughout the streets. Despite knowing most of the faces, you spent most of your time talking with Sebastian about stories from each of your lives.

“(Y/N)!” You turned your head and saw Alexander heading towards you, out of breath and sweaty from dancing. You excused yourself from the conversation and Alexander stopped in front of you. “I never did thank you for working more than you should have these last few days.” You laughed as you waved him off. “It’s nothing you should thank me for, Alexander. My sister helped so it wasn’t all bad.”

Alexander took a glance at Sebastian, who had been mobbed by most of the town women and looked like he was trying to hold his own. “Would you like to dance?” His question caught you off guard. “I invited Sebastian, I couldn’t leave him…” You turned to see a group of girls crowding around the man and your smile faltered. “One dance wouldn’t hurt.”

“Sebastian!” He looked up from the group of girls and saw you waving. He was about to move until he saw your hand in Alexander’s. “I’m going to dance for a bit!” You laughed as Alexander pulled you to the dance area. Alexander chuckled at you as you told Sebastian of your whereabouts. At least you had the decency to tell him you were dancing with another man.

“So how’d you meet Sebastian?” Alexander asked as you danced to the music. “He came into the shop one day and just kept visiting!” You smiled and the boy in front of you exhaled softly, deciding to drop the topic and talk to your sister about it later.

The former colonel no longer focused on the girls in front of him as he watched you laugh hard at something Alexander said and his heart beat faster in his chest. Out of jealousy or awe, he couldn’t tell. But the way your eyes shone under the golden glow of the street lamps told him to move and get you.

He pushed his way through the crowd of ladies and kept his eyes trained on your carefree figure. Your skin looked so beautiful under this light, maybe you were the one who lit up the town. Your smile alone had enough energy to do so anyway.

“May I have a dance with (Y/N)?” Sebastian asked as he reached you and Alexander. The blond man smiled and your eyes sparkled in delight. “Of course.” Alexander gently let go of your hand and placed it in Sebastian’s.

“Thank you Alexander!” You called out and he turned around, sending you a soft smile and a small wave before walking towards your sister.

You turned your gaze back to Sebastian and you grinned. “Did you get jealous?” Sebastian scoffed before shaking his head. “I don’t get jealous.” You laughed as you felt Sebastian pull you closer. “I saw you looking at Alexander like he was going to steal me away.” You pointed out with a smug smile.

“He did steal you away.” You grinned at him.

“You’re pouting.”

“N-No I’m not!” You laughed and watched as the tips of his ears turned pink. “Aw, you’re adorable when you get shy on me!” You cooed, using the exact same words he said to you a while back.

“You—” He picked you up by the waist and you squealed as he lifted you up. “You think you’re so smart.” He muttered as he placed you back down and you looked up at him, your skin shining from sweat and short breaths leaving your lips.

He instantly leaned in, placing a short kiss on your lips and your eyes widened before trying to chase him before he pulled away. “You do taste better than your biscuits.” You buried your head in Sebastian’s chest in embarrassment and he laughed as he started to lead the dance once more.

“Because of that, I’m charging you the rest of the 60 biscuits you bought.” Sebastian feigned hurt. “But that’s too much!” You rolled your eyes and smiled up at him. “I’m sure if you don’t want to pay, Louis can help me find something for you to do to pay me back.”

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed and you giggled at the sour look on his face. “I’m sure you can help around the shop to pay them off, if you don’t want Louis to get involved.” His eyes softened before gently grabbing your hand and placing a chaste kiss to it.

“If it means I get to see you everyday, it will have been worth it.”
