#fic: atelier bloom st

[cuddlebugsirius]

I discovered that another absolutely insanely talented person has bound Atelier, Bloom St. and I'm just so impressed and in a state of disbelief 🫢

Never did I ever imagine that anyone would like my silly little fanfiction enough to dedicate so much time and energy to it, thank you so so much! I thought I would share both of the bindings of Atelier so everyone can obsess over them with me 😍💐

You should go and check out @dearamleo & @lizz-binding's amazing work!

Fic art in the final photo is by the incredible @whoisflattery ✨

A/N: This is my first (ever!) Ikemen fic and it's for the 2022 Spring Bouquet Content Creation Challenge, organized by the lovely and talented @atelier-maroron

Pairing: Comte de St. Germain x Reader. (This is told from Comte's POV so "you" is the reader but from his perspective)

Prompt: Searching for a four-leaf clover

“Come on, Comte!”, you say as you run ahead, glancing back at me over your shoulder, impatience and excitement running through you like electric current, lighting you up from within.

I see your light and I follow it, unable to suppress a short laugh at your enthusiasm. This park is nothing new. We have been here many times before, taken many a turn around the cobalt blue pond, watched as it slowly frosted over to an arctic blue and then with the warming weather, cracked again, revealing the waters underneath. The pond is now hugged by lush green grass, inhabited by tiny yellow ducklings churning the water with their short, restless legs. I have experienced spring countless times….

And yet, with you, pausing in your mission, reaching back to take my hand, pulling me into your orbit so I have no choice but to follow, everything is new.

“It’s just up this hill!”

Your hand in mine, fingers curled around me, will never be anything less than extraordinary. Your touch, no matter whether deliberate or absent minded, unfailingly sends sparks through my veins.

I laugh out loud, feeling the warm spring sunlight on my face as we ascend, hands clasped. A warmth that holds the promise of summer. A touch that holds the promise of more.

You stop, cheeks pink with exertion and drop my hand to gesture at the ground, immensely proud.

“I told you!”

Across the top of the hill and sloping down the other side of it are bright patches of emerald green clover, the harbingers of spring, out in full force.

You kneel down, fingers gently running over the small, delicate leaves, expression concentrated. I love that look on your face.

“What are you doing?” I fold my arms, lips curved upward in amusement.

You shake your head, as if not believing I could ask such a silly question.

“Looking for luck.” You don’t even glance over your shoulder at me. You’re so intent on your search, so focused.

I watch you and can’t help the memories that begin to flash through my mind, like a zoetrope spinning faster and faster, pictures accelerating into motion. In my long lifetime, how many times have I seen children bending over clover, searching with excitement for the elusive four-leaved gem hidden among the rabble. How many couples have stopped on a spring day like today for a chance at luck. How many grandparents have watched their grandchildren, reliving their very same experience.

I see them all, over the centuries. Some triumphant in their hunt, their tiny green prize clutched in their hands. Some defeated and disheartened when it eluded them.

There will always be spring. There will always be patches of clover. And there will always be someone who stops, heart full of hope, to look for one with four leaves.

“There!”

You jump up, turning excitedly to me, hands carefully cupping your treasure. I reach down, cradling your hands in mine, see the perfect clover with its four heart-shaped leaves.

You lift your gaze to me, eyes alight, smile bright, more beautiful than any spring bloom.

“Now we’re going to be very lucky,” you proclaim happily.

I feel myself returning your smile, feel the way it pulls me away from thoughts of the past, towards the here and now and you.

Bending down, I kiss you, under the blue spring sky, on the blanket of green grass, in the light of the pale yellow sun. My hand comes up to cup your cheek, thumb running over the familiar, beloved line of your cheekbone, over the curve of your jaw, my fingers coming down to curl gently around your neck.

“Ma Chérie,” I say quietly, softly. “I already am. I have you.”

Finally getting back to writing ✍️

[cuddlebugsirius]

you're Remus is literally "roo sweet" by hozier.

He prefer his whiskey neat, black in his bed at tree. He work late where he's free from the phone.

And Sirius treat his mouth as if it's Heaven's gate. He bright as the morning; as soft as the rain; pretty as a vine. And he's too sweet for Remus (as people thinks)

This is giving me thoughts, anon! I’d not listened to it yet and you’re so right!

Remus coming home from Atelier early to find his boy putting the finishing touches to a meal (that his mama talked him through making on FaceTime ofc because he is a culinary disaster) and dancing around the kitchen to this song! Remus watching his hips move and striking at the perfect time to swing him in a wide circle, coriander sprinkled across the hardwood floor as the simmering pan is forgotten and they get lost dancing in each other!

Sirius is drunk on life, and Remus is drunk on him! Lily may joke about him becoming a simp for Sirius but she can see the transformation in her friend, the way he’s softer in all the right ways, he’s not changed at all but he lets parts of himself that Greyback forced down come out. Now that they’re settled and happy Remus is open-hearted, not afraid to show his emotions in public and willing to bend without being afraid he’ll break. That vulnerable side is something she’s not seen in her friend before, especially in public!

[cuddlebugsirius]

Someone bound Atelier, Bloom St. and I'm honestly crying... like, go look how freaking beautiful this is?!? Anyways, I don't think they have a tumblr, and I found it through a TikTok comment, and just... holy shit???

The fic that I wrote as a guilty pleasure for myself, a safe space for kink exploration and healthy relationships to flourish and someone has put hours into typesetting, stitching, and binding (and all of the other things I have no idea go into book binding) because they liked it that much???

Can't cope, won't ever cope, please go and leave some love on their post because I am so so flattered and will be dehydrated by the end of the night istg 😭

[cuddlebugsirius]

Remus who was on idk work trip longer than he expected (maybe something related to legal matter of Atelier) and he is like "I'm so sorry babybug you know what use my credit card the one that on the closet shelf and buy something pretty for your Moony okay?"

Sugardaddy!Moony ���� maybe he misses date night because he's stuck at the club? His bug is sat alone in a high-end restaurant and there's just no way Remus will be able to make it. It's been 45 minutes, and Sirius finally calls it a day when the waiter comes by for the fourth time to ask when the rest of his party will arrive. He's a little bit teary, and so sad that his Moony has let him down. As he's in the lift up to their flat, his phone rings and it's Remus.

He declines it once, but it immediately starts ringing again, so he gives in and answers. Remus apologises, he hadn't seen the time, and Sirius is so sad and disappointed. Remus promises to make it up to him.

The next week, post arrives for Sirius, Remus has added him in to his American Express, a platinum card with his name on it. The limit makes his eyes water, and he slaps it down on his Moony's desk with a raised eyebrow. He thinks Remus is trying to buy his forgiveness- and he is, a little. But he's also still being his Moony, attentive and loving and apologetic.

On his day off he goes to Selfridges, maybe, spends so much that a nice man follows him out to his uber with all of his bags. Next, he goes to Agent Provocateur and buys boxes upon boxes of delicate underwear, long strings of pearls, naughty little toys that make him blush to hand over to the cashier.

When he gets home, Remus is waiting for him in soft clothes with his favourite meal, and easily submits to a full fashion show. The big finish is particularly impressive.

Let me tell you, that ontogenesis update did not disappoint 🙏🙏

🥹🥹🥹

I'm really really glad! When I checked the word count I was worried because it's not so big and I thought maybe people would be disappointed? But I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for coming to say so ♥️

[cuddlebugsirius]

And thus, a new season begins.

(In other words, I finally updated ontogenesis)

[cuddlebugsirius]

Dropping this and running. Uh, hope you enjoy? Come scream at me later, maybe?

[cuddlebugsirius]

I'm taking the open tag and I'm running with it because I haven't had anything for a Sunday snippet in forever (and shut up yes it still counts as long as it's Sunday somewhere)

So.... Ontogenesis spoilers below the cut I guess? Istg someone gave me the idea of a theme park but I can't find who so whoever you are thank you 🙏🏻😍 you got my inspiration brain up and running, I hope you like it!

Edit: it was @yayohno that gave me the suggestion, thank you so much!

“Mama says hi, by the way,”

“I literally spoke to her in the car,” he did a little wiggle from side to side as Regulus shrugged, “but thanks, I say hi back,”

“Her hi came from your hi originally! I can’t just continually convey greetings for you, Siri,” James glowered at him, shoving his hands in his pockets and then smothering a laugh as Remus opened the boot, eyeing the big waterproof rucksack and his matching bum bag; “why has your boyfriend brought supplies for a week-long camping trip when we’ve come to Alton Towers for a day?”

Sirius licked his lips as his Moony buckled the belt of his bum bag around his hips, tightening the strap and dropping his wallet and keys into the zippered pouch. As he shouldered the bag, clipping the straps between his chest together, Regulus laughed, “I think because it turns my brother on? Not 100% sure though,”

[cuddlebugsirius]

Can we have maybe som spoilers for atelier? Pretty please with cherry on top?🥺

Hiiii anon I'm at a wedding lol but I will give you one spoiler!

They're going to have a fight 😃😃😃

[cuddlebugsirius]

I have been called a tease before, and I imagine I shall be called one again...

[Ontogenesis spoilers below the cut 🤷🏻‍♀️]

"Bath?”

“Of course, darling,” Remus shuffled them closer to the edge of the bed, “would you like to come, or are you okay staying here until it’s ready,”

Sirius weighed the options through his fuzzy brain, one stark number sticking out at him as he thought; “takes twelve minutes to fill your bath,”

“Does it,” Remus grinned at him, “and how would my bug know that?”

“I timed it,” he smiled back up at his sunshine, “last time I was here all alone because you were stuck at the club,”

With a little laugh, Remus shook his head and pushed Sirius to stand, keeping his hands tight on his waist as he followed him up from the bed and shuffled past him into the bathroom; “my old man knees need a soak before I can lift you again, bug,”

“Not an old man,” Sirius protested, nosing into the dip between his shoulderblades as he pressed his bare skin to Remus’ back, “you’re my Moony,”

[cuddlebugsirius]

so agree with sugardaddy!Remus like Sirius doesn't use his position often, but he grew up in a wealthy life and he definitely wanted to indulge in brands and Remus doesn't know a shit about all this stuff and just lets it be like okay love you deserve this brand new boots just have fun 🌹

Remus has no real knowledge of fashion, doesn't understand why Lily is choking on her mouthful of soup when Sirius wanders into atelier in balenciaga trainers, fendi bag in the crook of his elbow and Dior glasses tucked into the collar of his shirt.

Sirius: "oh my Moony said I could? You think I look pretty?" *preens*

[cuddlebugsirius]

honestly I totally agree with anon who talked about caregiver Sirius!!

Like he is the oldest brother it's in his blood to look after someone he loves and make sure they had enough water & sleep & food though the day. He remember to reminds Remus about idk his vitamins or a cup of water in the morning for example

He always have take out coffee for Remus (and Lily too!!) when he is still at work while Sirius is already done. Sirius stops by the Atelier to give it to him and ask Lily to make sure that Remus goes home no later than he should today and then he go on about his business and texting Moony sometimes to ask smth stupid & make him smile

Like !ofc! Remus the best dd ever but he chose Sirius the oldest brother Black who can accidentally hit himself with a closet door for 3 times or sometimes needs to get a command to do something but he also can be LIKE THIS

He just doesn't need to think as much as he does with Regulus because Remus is ready to take care of everything for him but forgets to take care of himself

Should I apologize lol??

Hi Anon! I feel like this has been sitting here a few days because my energy has been caput, sorry about that ♥️

Definitely no need to apologise! Although I think Sirius is probably more middle child than he is older brother because of Effie's fussing, but he 100% takes care of the people he loves and loves doing it. Maybe that's why Remus is so great for him, helps him to accept that he needs to look after himself too and know he's deserving of good love.

I think his love language is both physical touch and acts of service, and once he's in he's all in. He knows just what Remus needs, sees him wincing as he stands? Hot water bottle for Remus, anti-inflammatories at the ready. Remus is at work still? Coffee for Rem- Remus and Lily are at work still?! Coffee for both of them!

[cuddlebugsirius]

Well Sirius who has a tik tok page with 15k followers (??or smth) with all this cutie sexy trend dances and some day he's like moony I need to create you your own page on tt so u can watch my videos and Remus is like YOUR WHAT

🌹

Ahhhhhhhh this would be so funny! I could just imagine him setting up in their living room to film, Remus leaning against the kitchen counter and eating an apple or someth while he watches 🙊

Imagine one day he just surprise attacks his boy with cuddles and Sirius is like 😭😭😭 Moony you ruined my dance 😭😭😭 and posts it as outtakes. That, dear anon, is how Remus Lupin becomes TikTok famous. Then you get Sirius replying to everyone's comments like 😤 only I am allowed to call him Moony 😤 he is mine!

It would be so cute, and Remus would be so confused. Cue Jegulily in the background dying with laughter at the whole mindfuck of a situation!
