Soul flames 🔥

This is my gift to @castawaypitch for the @coexchange Baz’s birthday flash round.

Paulina, I was so happy I got you for the exchange. You’re so cool. I hope you liked it. I (tried to) create something for the prompt Soulmates AU. Happy Baz’s fest to you!

[nick-eyre]

Here’s my @coexchange for @unconfirmed-vampire! I love the idea that a post AWTWB Simon and Baz might return to a beach under happier circumstances

My piece for the @coexchange for @ksan-art!!

The prompt I wound up going with was, obviously, Chapter 48.

I’m sorry it’s not a cool fic, but I hope you appreciate this piece all the same! I learned how to use CSP’s animation function to add a little extra to the piece for the shooting star effect.

I really hope you like it ;o;

My Carry On Exchange gift for @you-remind-me-of-the-babe. 💖

Kiss It Better (~2.1k)

Simon comes back from a mission for the Mage injured again. This time, instead of doing nothing, Baz helps Simon with an... interesting spell. At Simon’s request.

This is just 2k of Baz taking care of Simon with a side of mutual pining.

I also picked back up drawing after a few years to draw something to go along with this fic. Here's a little Simon I drew!

He's a little surprised and caught up in feelings because Baz used a... certain spell on him.

My piece for @lostlunaticprincess for the winter @coexchange round! I went with the prompt “spells” because to me the Ladybird scene is one of the most pivotal and important parts of Carry On so I was very happy to be able to make something in tribute to it :)

[angelsfalling16]

This is my gift for @srirachafilledbees​ for the @coexchange!! I never would have considered making a cross stitch for this until I saw your prompt. I decided to include Simon’s sword and Baz’s wand + some of my favorite quotes from each of them. I hope you like it, and happy holidays!! 😁💙💙😁

I've also included some progress shots and close ups beneath the cut

[namistrella]

This is for the lovely @caitybuglove23​ as part of the fall @coexchange​ event ❤️Caity, I hope you like it! It’s silly and angsty with a side of snuggles.

Liar, Liar on AO3

Summary:

With only two months left at Watford, Baz and Simon are just trying to make it to the end of the year without killing each other. It's hardly the prime time to adopt a chimera. (Is there ever a good time to adopt a chimera?) Yet after one of Simon's missions goes awry, he and Baz find themselves caring for a surprisingly adorable little monster. This is a story about second chances, personal growth, and learning to trust. But mostly, it's a story about a baby chimera that won't stop setting Baz's bed on fire.

This is for @helplesshoboe for the @coexchange but unfortunately I can’t find them on Tumblr or AO3. Whoever it is, their prompts were “cuddles, texting, friends, baz and penny friendship (they're a power duo!!), pre-wayword son, wing/self care, first few months in the apartment”, I hope they find this eventually :) I decided to draw them cuddling and Simon is wearing Baz’ shirt for extra domestic fluff ^^

Just in case it’s you I’m gonna tag @helplesshobo

“It looks like a depressed teenage girl learned that Van Gogh ate yellow paint to be happier and made that her whole personality.” Baz mocked, unaware of the door quietly opening. “I mean, anyone who has this much yellow in their room is just a dullard who just wants to make themselves seem more interesting than they actually are.” Their heads turn, when they hear the door crash behind them. Baz jumps from the sudden noise. He then goes to open the door and peer out into the hallway, where he sees a boy with reddish brown hair seething with badly controlled anger.

I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.

Maybe we’re from the same star.

—Emery Allen

Here's my @coexchange gift for @angelsfalling16 !! Happy holidays, I hope you like this! I made a playlist + a moodboard for your Soulmate AU prompt, with a short (500 words) ficlet for context. You can read it below the cut:

Simon

All it takes is a brush of hands. 

Walking through the crowd, I wouldn't have noticed it, but the surge of images and sensations and memories of things yet to happen is too overwhelming to ignore. 

I look back, still feeling that faint touch, searching the people around me, looking for the one. 

My soulmate.

It's not difficult to find him: the way his eyes are distinctly wide and shining, his hand frozen in the air, still outstretched… 

Looking for mine. 

Our eyes lock, and I take his hand in a firm grip. 

The vision comes back with full force: a glimpse of sunlight and warmth, of laughter and tears, of more touches like this, and more than this. 

Of goodbyes— 

—And then coming back together.

Of heartbreak and bursting joy. 

Of happiness and hopelessness and easiness and quietness. 

Of belonging, of love. 

It all comes rushing in an instant, engulfing us both: the sounds and tastes and touches and feelings. It's like we're both watching it all unravel through the windows of a train, traveling around the world at light's speed, each scenery blending into the next, making it difficult to figure out the details. 

The details of our future. 

I'm still staring right into the perfect greyness of this stranger's eyes, and he stares right back at me. Slowly, the vision fades, and then it's just us, standing closer, hands clasped tightly in each other. 

No one can explain why it happens, but this is the important part: the moment you touch your soulmate for the first time, you both get a glimpse of your future together. What could be. What's to come if you stick around each other long enough.  

This boy, with his grey eyes and chiseled face, a sharp widow's peak and pitch black hair—this boy holds my future. A life with me, with ups and downs, but still a beautiful life. 

We could walk away from each other right now, going on our separate ways. We'd never have to worry about the whirlwind of complicated feelings coming our way. Through each other. 

But he doesn't move, so I wait. His eyes travel over my face, taking me in. I'd eye him with the same intensity, if I could match it. 

His eyes fall back down to our hands, and so do mine. We keep staring at them on bated breath, suspended in time. Everything comes down to the moment we're about to let go, and then, we grip each other's hand more tightly. 

"Hey, um." I scratch the back of my neck. "Did you… see that?" 

He arches an eyebrow at me, his lip quirking lightly. Like he's holding back a smirk. "Oh, that thing? Not really impressive. I'm used to holding hands and staring at handsome strangers in the middle of the street every other day." 

I snort, then, laughing awkwardly. Witty. I think I like him already. 

I shift my hold on his hand, turning it into a handshake. "I'm Simon, by the way." 

His eyes shine when he smiles. "Baz."

So here’s my fic to @letraspal for the @coexchange flash round! AKA 4.1K words of fluffy gay feelings.

@trenchcoat-moth    @coexchange​ I don’t know if I’m doing this right because I don’t usually post fics on Tumblr and this is my first exchange but I’m trying haha this is for the Spring Carry On Exchange :)

[rehancel]

My gift for @nightimedreamersworld for the @coexchange Winter round!

I was absolutely thrilled to receive the diverse AU prompts you provided, thanks for the awesome prompts! Here’s a snowbaz Spies AU I wrote with the limited knowledge I have from several Youtube videos and spy films. 

As of now I’m not quite done, sorry about that. Here’s the first chapter, and the rest is coming soon. 

Summary: 

Charlie Waterson and Elijah Snow — the happily married couple with their fluffy white dog that's always in the car's backseat.

Only they're not.

They're agents from the Watford Intelligence Agency.

And if there's one thing they'll tell you about their assignment, it's that sometimes the best acting comes from the heart.

Home Sweet Home

This is my gift for @bonappetart for the @coexchange. I hope you like it! <3

Simon and Baz have found their home with each other. 

They’ve acknowledged their own traumas and each other’s traumas and are working through them, and now they’re moving in with each other along with the cat they adopted.

Baz always knew that Simon was a disaster, but it isn’t until they’re taking their boxes into their flat and trying to put them in the room that they go in that Baz realizes that he probably should have helped Simon more with his packing. 

The boxes are either mislabeled, vaguely labeled (one of them just says “stuff”), or not labeled at all. Baz has no idea where these boxes should be going, and after the fifth one, he gives up and just starts stacking them in the living room to be dealt with later.

Baz gently chastises Simon for the horrible job he did, but truthfully, he finds it a little endearing.

It takes them a couple of hours to carry all of the boxes and furniture up, and by the time they’re done, neither of them feels like unpacking anything, including the new bed they bought, so they decide to order some take-out and sleep on the floor.

Simon orders the food while Baz finds a box of blankets, and while they wait for the food to arrive, Simon gets an idea.

Without telling Baz what exactly that plan is, he starts moving around the boxes in the living room, creating a fort with them before draping blankets over them and piling some blankets and pillows on the floor. Then, he rips open the box labeled “stuff” and pulls out a box of fairly lights, mumbling something about there being a method to his madness.

Baz stands off to the side and watches as Simon manages to get the lights strung on the boxes before emerging from the fort, saying “ta da.”

Baz smiles warmly at him and says, “I love it.”

“I love you,” Simon replies before kissing him softly.

The cat seems to like it, too, since she has already curled up in the middle of the pillows.

Once they’re settled in the fort with their food and Baz’s laptop playing a movie, Simon says, “So maybe my terrible labeling was a good thing, huh? We made something good out of it.” Baz shakes his head at him, but he’s smiling.

It’s a nice way to spend the first night in their new home.
