From Aug 2022

Sliding in right before pride month ends with some old Blup sketches that I really liked.

[ID: 3 sketch illustrations featuring Barry and Lup.

The first sketch is Barry and Lup, with the trans flag wrapped around them. Barry is leaning in to press a kiss onto Lup's cheek.

The second sketch is Barry and Lup doing a fist bump, smiling.

The last sketch is a full body of Barry and Lup, out on a walk. They are holding hands and smiling at each other. Barry is holding a coffee cup in his other hand, while Lup is holding an ice cream cone. Lup's skirt has the trans flag colors.

Also I’m open for sketch suggestions yall I’d be happy to draw Taz fanarts.

Day One - Refuge

The cave Barry tugged Lup into was cold, damp, and lacking any comfortable place to sit down, but it still beat the storm raging outside. Earlier in the morning, they had set off from the ship to try and track down the Light. Taako and Magnus had taken the high road through the mountains the Starblaster couldn’t fit through, while Lup and Barry took the foothills at the bottom. They still hadn’t developed a great system for finding the Light yet, but it had to have landed somewhere nearby. Magnus swore he saw it further up the mountain but it was best to cover all their bases.

But with the storm, it might be a lost cause no matter where Magnus thought he saw it.

It had arrived with very little warning time. First, the gentle breeze had picked up into a howling, whipping gust. And then, the bright and sunny sky got swept behind big, dark clouds. The rain came down in one big downpour. Getting back onto high ground had been their biggest priority. But now, in this cave, Barry didn’t really know what else to do.

To be fair, this wasn’t exactly something he had trained for. Hell, what he had trained for is trying to figure out what unknown substances were and how to properly take samples without damaging the thing he was taking the samples from. Now, they were four years into what was supposed to be a two-month trip and he was not having the greatest of times. His back hurt, his legs hurt, his head hurt, his heart hurt-

Okay. No. Back on topic. C’mon Barry.

Lup was pacing in front of the cave entrance, snapping her fingers at her side as she walked. Barry was reminded very strongly of a tiger in a too-small cage.

He and Lup were… not close but not distant? It was hard to be distant when you have spent four years living with someone. But like, Barry was close to Magnus and Davenport and everyone else. Lup mainly stuck with Taako. Taako mainly stuck with Lup. Barry had a feeling that if- that once they all got back to the ship, no one would be asking them to go on separate missions for a while. It had been hard enough getting her here. At least she trusted Magnus.

Not that she didn’t trust him. Maybe? Maybe. Barry didn’t actually know. But Magnus was very big and pretty, uh, pretty strong, so Barry had to assume that made him more reliable. Taako’s quip of “Magnus will look after me, you can look after Barry” before they split up wasn’t super reassuring.

“It’s just rain,” Lup said. It took Barry a moment to realize she was talking to herself. “We don’t have to hide from rain.”

“We, uh, we don’t have to,” Barry said. “But, uh—”

“Like what’s the worse it can do? Get me wet?”

“L— Lup—”

“Taako’s probably still out there. We can at least do some retcon and—”

“Lup—”

“What?” Lup snapped, rounding on him.

There was an awful crashing sound from outside the cave. Lup back turned to watch a heavy tree fell down the hill in a rush of water. The wind swept towards them, causing the ends of Lup’s robe to flare. She turned towards him again, jaw set.

“Uhm,” Barry said. “I— I don’t think that’s a smart idea.”

Lup groaned, running her hands through her hair.

“But if Taako—”

“He’ll be fine,” Barry said. “He’s, uhm, he’s a good wizard. And he’s got Magnus.”

“But he needs me,” Lup said. She looked like she wanted to resume her pacing. Instead, she just balled her fists up at her side. One hand started snapping again, restless. Barry swore he could see little sparks flying from her fingers.

“Does he?” Barry said. Lup’s look intensified. Barry shrank back a little. “I mean, you know him best! B— but, I mean— he’s— he’s a good wizard, Lup. He can get himself out of shitty situations. But we can’t really help any— anyone if we get swept away or something.”

Also, Barry didn’t know how the fuck to swim. But that was not something he needed to admit right now.

“And you’re a— a helluva wizard yourself, Lup, but I- I would feel safer if we stayed here until it lets up a little.” He swallowed. “We’ve got a nice little refuge up in this cave and if— if we need to, we can go higher up and figure it out. We still don’t know if death is like, a thing for us, and I— like, preferably, we’d test that out in a safer environment-”

“You’re a fucking dork, Bluejeans,” Lup said. But her fists had unclenched, her voice a touch lighter.

“I— I mean, takes one to know one.”

“Ha!” Lup said. The chill that had settled over Barry’s chest felt lighter hearing her laugh. “Fair enough.” She stepped away from the cave’s entrance, rubbing her hands together. Those were definitely sparks. “What’d’you say to a little campfire to warm us up?”

Joyous Candlenights, @pigeonwithapen !! I have written you a blupjeans romp for the ages. But everybody else can read it and enjoy it too!

read Security on ao3!

summary: Barry has finally made it--his incredible scientific discovery has landed him a huge fortune...and a lot of problems. The only good thing that's come of it, honestly, has been his bodyguard, Lup. (And the science. That's good also.) He's just gotta stay normal about how nice it is to have someone like Lup around, and also not perish by way of press circuit, and everything will be fine.

critics are saying "I LOVE THEM SO MUCH" and "they are both dorks" so form your own opinion and read it now!

Day 7 - Aftermath

It was weird, still being in the world after it almost ended. They had spent a long, long time wondering what a plane would look like post-Hunger, but Lup figured that this was probably the best outcome they could hope for.

The sense of rebuilding and community here on Faerûn wasn’t completely new— there had been several worlds that actually heeded their warning and prepared for the fight. But seeing it afterward? Seeing that strength and love persist even though the Hunger had tried to destroy it? It was truly beautiful.

And, honestly, made Lup feel a little bit shitty about not exactly feeling up to help.

It was— she was a mess. To put it in simple terms. Lup had spent an entire decade imagining what it would be like when she finally got out of the umbrastaff and now that she was out she couldn’t bring herself to go through with a lot of her plans. Sure, she did most of the plans that involved hugging people, or fuckin’ talking to people, and all that. But otherwise, she just felt… shitty. And out of touch.

The crew had moved on without her, especially after Lucretia’s help. Honestly, Lup couldn’t bring herself to be mad about that. She could very easily where Luce had been coming from. Like, Taako and Barry would have kept searching for her no matter what. Hell, Barry had. And she loved him for that, she really did, but in all honesty? She was kinda glad Taako— and Barry, for the little pieces he got to— had the chance to live without her being missing hanging over his head.

But it also left her in this situation. The Hunger was gone, the world was saved, and Lup had no true connections with anyone besides the crew. And even then, they weren’t the same exact people she had left.

Merle had kids! He had been married! Magnus had married too, but it was a bit of a different story from what Lup knew. Taako found people who loved him, with his show, with Kravitz— at the very least, Barry had gotten the chance to know the world, if not many of the people in it. Lucretia had the entire Bureau and people she had met along the way. Davenport was the one closest to how she felt, but at the very least, people knew him, even if wasn’t who he really was.

Lup didn’t have anything. Aside from Cyrus, which didn’t go great for either of them. All she had was a weird, fleshy body and a family who had changed when she was gone.

“Lup?”

The door to the study opened. Barry peeked his head inside. The hallway light flooded through the small gap in the door. Lup had the lights in here down low, so the contrast made her squint a little.

“What’s up?”

“You okay?” Barry asked.

“Not really,” Lup said after a moment of hesitation.

Barry shuffled into the room, gently closing the door behind him. Lup leaned against one of her hands, turning a little so she could see Barry when he leaned up against the side of the desk. He held out a hand and she took it, squeezing softly.

“Can I do anything for you?” Barry asked.

Lup would literally never get tired of him. She got so, so lucky being stuck on a ship for a hundred years with this man.

“Mh.” She brought their hands up to her cheek, pressing against it. Barry smiled. She had missed him so fucking bad. “I’m just… thinking.”

“Well, there’s your problem,” Barry said.

“Stupid,” Lup said, but she was smiling anyway. “I— it’s just… Like, we thought about what it would be like after the Hunger for so long, but now that we’re here I’m— I just don’t know what to feel about it, y’know? It’s— it’s so much, sometimes.”

“I get that,” Barry said quietly. “It’s— it’s been hard.”

“So hard,” Lup said.

“Yeah,” Barry said. “And I— Lup, I can’t even imagine how hard it’s been for you, with the— the being trapped and everything. You’re doing so good, and I know it’s been rough. I just… it’s hard to think of what can make it feel better, y’know? Do you— is there anything you wanted to do? When you were in the umbrastaff, I mean. Like, we can make a bucket list-”

“Most of it was just wanting to hold you again,” Lup said. She cleared her throat, blinking away tears. Barry squeezed her hand again. “I— the world is just so different than how it was during— when I left. I can’t— I don’t know how to adjust to a world where I don’t know anything or anyone.”

“It’s hard,” Barry said. “We could, uhm. We could go on a road trip?”

“Go on a road trip,” Lup repeated.

“Yeah,” Barry said. “So, uh, so you get to know more of the— the lay of the land and all— and we can go places where I know someone or— or where Taako knows someone, and we can talk to them, and get you acquainted, at least—”

“I don’t wanna assume your friends wanna be my friends—”

“Babe,” Barry said. “Anyone who doesn’t wanna know you is full of horseshit anyway.”

“Yeah?” Lup said.

“Yeah!” Barry said. “Like- you’re Lup! Look at you! One, you’re hot as hell-”

“Barry—”

“Two, you’re super kickass? Like, I don’t know if you’ve been hearing the news-press, but—”

“Ugh, the news—”

“I know, right?” Barry said. “And three, you’re— Lup, you’re so genuinely kind and funny that I can’t imagine anyone wouldn’t be jazzed to meet you. You gotta— I know this is your line, but you gotta stop worrying so much about it. People love you. If you wanna go out and meet ‘em, then I’m gonna be right there with you, okay?”

Lup finally let go of his hand, if only to wipe her eyes. She was smiling, though.

“You think so?” she said.

“I know so,” Barry said. “Just… think about it, okay? Doesn’t have to be a road trip, we could just— take a vacation. Gods know we deserve it—”

“We do.”

“Just let me know,” Barry said. “And I’ll be there with you, okay? Now you gotta come eat before everything gets all cold and gross.”

“You’ve convinced me,” Lup said, pushing her chair back. “This bitch is ready for spaghetti.”

“You’re always ready for spaghetti.”

“It’s a character trait, babe, keep up.”
