Cozy cabin coasters

[starmaidengarden]

ace : deuce : jack : epel : sebek : x gn!reader. no cw/tw. ideal date might look like headcanons. (cant sleep cause some reason, so here are some first years HCs)

ace trappola ༉⋆｡˚

a theme park day

Ace wants to keep things lighthearted and fun. He’ll joke around, get competitive over carnival games, and maybe even “accidentally” win you a prize. He’s the type to suggest sharing snacks like cotton candy or churros, and he’ll likely scream the loudest on roller coasters—then deny it after.

deuce spade ༉⋆｡˚

casual picnic with homemade food

Deuce puts his whole heart into everything he does, so he would plan a thoughtful picnic, possibly cooking (or trying to cook) himself. Expect him to nervously triple-check that everything’s perfect. chatting with you in a quiet park, offering sweet compliments between blushing fits.

jack howl ༉⋆｡˚

a sunrise hike

Jack’s ideal date is peaceful yet slightly active. He would take you on a nature trail, preferably in a scenic area with few people around. He isn’t very comfortable with public displays of affection, but you might catch him gazing at you with fondness. Throughout the date, he will ensure your safety and will likely bring snacks and water.

epel felmier ༉⋆｡˚

Sneaking out for a “rebellious” fun

Epel would want to show off his cooler side—maybe suggest sneaking out to watch the stars from a rooftop or go joyriding on magical broomsticks (which are totally not allowed). He loves the thrill of breaking rules (but just a little) and wants you to see the real him—not just the "cute" image that others create.

sebek zigvolt ༉⋆｡˚

a historical museum tour

Sebek would treat this like a royal outing. Expect a schedule filled with educational stops, maybe at a historical landmark. He’ll speak loudly, try to impress you with facts about the Briar Valley, and subtly slip in praise about how lucky you are to spend time with him (he means well). He might mellow out towards the end and show you a softer side by the end.

RAHHHH, I LOVR YOUR WRITING!!!!

Can I kindly request for Leona, Jade, and Idia with a Hyper! Reader?

Like, Reader is up for everything and anything and is always either preparing for shenanigans or doing them.

ah yes. the trio i am definitely not biased towards when it comes to writing stuff (TYSM im glad you like it!!! i hope you enjoy this too <33

𐙚 Leona Kingscholar

It’s a good thing that you’re so lively, you can just have energy for the two of you, is the sort of thing you’ll hear from him a lot. Always seasoned with his signature snarky feeling, sometimes he’s more exasperated, and other times, he can actually sound quite fond and sweet.

The “Herbivore” nickname isn’t going away anytime soon, that’s for sure. It’s more than just a little jab at how non threatening you come off— You honestly kind of remind him of a rabbit. If you ask him to elaborate he says it’s because you’re “always hopping around and sticking your nose into other people’s business”. If you ask him for further explanation he says you’re just proving his point by being too curious.

To anyone who knows how to read him, it becomes quite visible that he’s really very unsuccessful at concealing how endearing he thinks your antics are. He’ll never miss an opportunity to tell you he’s absolutely not going to join you on whatever you’re up to that day, and yet… he’s always there to say these exact words.

You might manage to convince him to take you out on some fun dates, things like going to amusement parks or arcades. He actually really enjoys it, despite always playing up that unamused, grumpy act. Most of the time he’ll just stand on the sidelines and watch while you have your fun, but it’s not that hard to bait him into following you to the roller coaster. At the end of the day, he tells you he hopes you’re satisfied because he won’t be indulging you again too soon— Something you can easily prove wrong in about a week or so.

𐙚 Jade Leech

He’s always not-so-secretly overjoyed to hear about any new troublemaker type that might pop up into Azul’s radar. These people are always the most interesting to observe, after all. So even before you two actually spoke, you’ve been keeping him more than engaged.

Jade has no desire to actively cause anything that might count as mischief… or at least that’s what he says. It’s not a full blown lie, but the key word here really is “actively” — Any antics of yours that he can support will be supported. Whether by conveniently making others too intimidated to get in your way, or sharing little hints of possible interesting things to do around school. It takes him some time to start actually tagging along, even if it’s just to stand around and watch you having your fun, but when he starts to do it, he’s pretty much become your new henchman.

While he mostly keeps to himself, if you show any interest in going on hikes with him, or learning about mushrooms and such, you’ll find that he can match your energy level quite easily. Jade is actually a bit surprised at your enthusiasm when it comes to that, he’s always wondered how it’d be like to explore the woods with a partner. Very quick to make new hiking plans, even quicker to think of multiple creative ways to use up whatever you picked while out.

He finds himself smiling and laughing a lot when he’s by your side. Of course, he already does both often in general, but it’s different when he’s with you. You always have some new, interesting topic to talk about, paired with a remarkable skill to find entertaining points about seemingly anything, it’s really contagious to him.

𐙚 Idia Shroud

Thinks it’s a miracle someone like you ever became interested in him. Shouldn’t a pessimistic, anxious introvert just come off as boring to someone who’s so bright and active? For a good while, Idia just couldn’t understand how you’d even fit him into your world. You two are just so different—

He would’ve probably rejected you out of sheer hopelessness if it wasn’t for the fact that… pairing a cheerful character with a gloomy one is, in fact, a pretty popular romance trope in anime. A part of him, sort of shyly and almost guiltily, hoped that he would get to have that in real life one day.

The fact you’re even open to indulging his interests definitely helps to bring you two closer. He was so anxious about showing you anything he liked, even if it was some popular game everyone in school is talking about, it’s just too nerdy for someone like you, isn’t it? Sometimes he’s still comically surprised whenever you mention liking a game or something like that. But he can get over his nervousness pretty quickly when you suggest playing together, even if it’s just on call.

When you’re messing with other people, he likes watching it from afar. Texts asking for updates on how your latest plans are going. If he can, he’ll even bail you out of trouble, it’s not like it’s that hard to make one of the school cameras just stop working for a little bit… And he really likes your reactions to him doing things like that, the way you praise his skills with so much enthusiasm. It really makes him feel like he’s won in life, honestly.

if you like my work you can support me by commissioning me or tipping me on ko-fi ── ᵎᵎ ✦

[yuurei20]

hihi! so sorry if this has been answered before, but i remember jade mentioning that when he came to land, he found interest in manholes & the different decorations on them before dropping that in favor of hiking, but i can't find it and im starting to believe it was someone else, or that i mistook a fanon hc for canon? all this to say, is that actually true?

Hello hello! Thank you for this question! 🐬

You are 100% correct! ^^ Jade's love of manholes is shared in his platinum birthday vignette!

He explains that he was interested in them before even coming onto land, and at one point he had collected hundreds of unique-manhole-design merchandise, though his interests have since shifted to mountains, instead.

And unique manhole-design-based merchandise is very much a thing, including coasters, keychains, cookies and more!

Designs are usually for the local city, but sometimes they can also feature pop culture such as Pokemon ^^

And added bonus from Jade's vignette: his story of the time he rode in a two-person swan boat alone, pedaling both sets of pedals by himself 🦢

He invites Riddle to go with him the next time 🌹

[astralis-ortus]

love, am i home?

✱ bestfriend!bc × gn!reader

— how can you tell it's not simply an infatuation?

w.count → 0.6k genre → angst, one-sided love warnings → minor cussing, mention of alcohol but no described consumption a.n → honestly i don't even know what i wrote i am feeling feelings soooo yeah! also, there's a few mentions of bambam as the home owner lol ⋆ see masterlist

“do you reckon i’ll fall in love someday?’

chan’s odd, unprovoked question nearly made you choke on the strawberry-lychee juice you were trying so hard to savor. worse, your heart also took a hit from it—which, frankly, you should have been preparing yourself for from the day you realized that your hiking heart bpm whenever chan was sitting a little too close was not exactly a normal reaction between friends.

“yeah,” you barely managed to quip a reply, setting your half-empty paper cup on the coffee table across the tan leather couch before chan could send another unwarranted hit on your poor heart. “i mean, didn’t you have a few relationships before?”

well fuck—now he’s going to elaborate, isn’t he. good job, dumbass.

sometimes you wonder why you’re trying so hard to be a good friend when you do realize it will only further tighten the chains wrapped around your chest. does bambam have some alcohol in the fridge? also, where the fuck is he?

“fair point,” a long sigh escaped his lungs as chan fully leaned onto bambam’s ridiculously large sofa, eyes tracing whatever interesting shape he could find on the ceiling of their still-missing friend’s apartment, “but i wonder if those feelings were actually… love, you know? not merely infatuation?”

“i don’t, actually,” you playfully snickered, hoping the faint smile on your lips would help in numbing the dull ache spreading on your chest. “i mean, as far as my experience goes, i think it has always been love for me.”

“and how does that feel?”

“how?” the faint urgency in his voice pulled your line of gaze towards chan—unexpectedly meeting his pair of curious brown eyes, and you sighed. are you really going to say it?

you were preparing a joke, really. deflecting, avoiding his question, all that thing.

you really were.

and you know, with every part of your bones, you’re probably going to regret this.

“uh, well, it feels like…”

the butterflies when i see your name lit up my phone screen.

the odd twist in the pit of my stomach when i hear you talk about that new friend you made and how you thought they were beautiful.

the way my lips followed yours into a smile when you excitedly told me about a new song idea and how spring flooded my chest when you said it’s our little secret.

the sudden void when you told me you asked that new friend of yours to go out for dinner, and how my heart went numb when you brightly exclaimed that it would technically count as a first date.

an excruciatingly long roller coaster of emotions,

an endless hike under the scorching summer sun,

a long night staring at where the waves breaks,

and yet…

“it was home.”

“…home?”

“yeah,” you shrugged, fingers hiding inside the sleeves of your hoodie while you pull your knees closer to your chest, “home.”

“it’s everything that is good, everything that’s not quite there, and yet you can’t help but find yourself longing for every piece of it. you accept that it’s not going to be perfect and never will be, and yet you’re still willing to continuously nurture that feeling because, well, you love them, and even if it eventually didn’t work out… you’d still think it’s worth the effort to try.”

you don’t know what the silence between you now meant.

you don’t know, and probably would never want to find out.

you’d hate to know who he thinks about when he opens his mouth,

and you’d forever thank bambam for his impeccable timing with bags full of thai foods in his hand.

Sam Winchester Crushing On You Headcanons

Pairing: Sam Winchester x gender neutral reader Warnings: some light angst, mention of canon-typical violence (nothing described) A/N: Comments and reblogs are greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

*

Sam is always in-tune with himself and his emotions and can’t deny the instant chemistry and attraction after he first meets you. This results in a lot of immediate little awkward smiles, laughs, and looking down at his shoes.

He’s very gentle with the way he approaches and talks to you right out of the gate. He doesn’t treat you like you’re made of glass, but still tries to make himself as approachable and welcoming as possible.

Especially if you’re already another hunter, he’s impressed with your skills, intelligence, and determination—and watching you expertly figure out a piece of the puzzle or gank a monster is a huge turn-on for him.

He’s silently very attentive and protective. He never gets in your way or makes you feel incapable, but he’s always sticking close by you and hovering in the background to be there the instant you need backup. If you’re sick, injured, or struggling with something emotionally, he’s always gently checking in on you, offering to listen to anything you need to talk out, taking expert care of you, and making sure you’re eating healthy and drinking enough water.

If you enjoy exercising—especially running—and show interest in working out with him, he’s ecstatic. Although he didn’t account for trying not to drool over you in your workout clothes. Eventually, this might turn into a habit of hiking dates, where you two always try to find the best trail wherever you are after a hunt is done and he really treasures those memories.

Although he can be a little bit awkward and obvious about liking you, it takes him a looooong time to outright admit it, because 1) we all know he has a complex about getting his significant others killed, and 2) even if he suspects you like him back, he’ll always gaslight himself into thinking you really don’t and are just being nice. So he just continues to do nice things for you and give you longing glances that drives Dean nuts.

He tries to hide any jealousy issues he might have, but isn’t very good at it. Although you might not notice because Phase One involves him trying to distance himself from you the second someone flirts with you, he gets very cranky, irritable, and absolutely shit-talks the person interested in you to Dean while glaring a hole in the back of this person’s head. If he thinks this person might be sleazy or dangerous, eventually (Phase Two), he’ll try to interrupt and get you to come “help” him with something or go back to the motel with them, explaining to you later that he just didn’t trust this person. But if it’s just another regular person that you also seem interested in, he’ll do his best to hold himself back. Then in Phase Three, if you and the other person are really clicking and actually are making a good pair, he’ll get a bit sulky and convince himself that you deserve better than him (aka this other person) and the roller coaster of emotions has Dean wanting to bury his head in the wall.

When other people inevitably hit on Sam during hunts, he’s just as oblivious to how irritated you now are. Sometimes, especially if you seem interested in someone else, he’ll try to go for this other person, but eventually cuts it off because of how unsatisfying it was that it wasn’t you.

If you share any of his interests, especially reading, he’s so excited to do it with you—even if it’s just reading different books in the same room. You two are constantly swapping recommendations and sometimes even reading the same book and discussing it later.

He obviously thinks you’re gorgeous and stares at you with the most love-drunk look on his face constantly (and only fails to look away before you look at him half the time).

Once you field horrendous injuries and death enough times, Sam starts to get a little more confident that you aren’t an easy target to kill. He still doesn’t reveal his feelings for you, but is willing to open up a bit more about how everyone he’s ever been with is dead if the subject comes up naturally, and explains how he feels like a curse. He’s very touched at all the comfort you give him to assure him he’s anything but and it only makes him fall for you harder.

If he’s the one who’s ever sick or injured, he’s always surprised by how much your guard falls to show that you care and are worried about him, dropping everything to take care of/pamper him (he really does deserve some pampering). Of course, he does the exact same for you and those are always the moments you two come the closest to confessing and get the most touchy-feely.

I think at some point, once he’s gotten more comfortable with you and realizes just how formidable you are, he’d be willing to dip his toe in to test the waters a bit more: not trying as hard to urgently look away before you meet his gaze, sharing little touches here and there, being a bit more free with his compliments, etc, and is elated when you return them.

I could definitely see him being the type to just lean into this more and go one of two ways: either you finally confess your feelings and cue a long conversation about how being with him won’t be the cause of your death but he also can’t sideline you if you’re another hunter; or some big event happens that either makes him feel the need to confess his feelings, or if he feels you got injured/almost died because of him, he starts pulling back and distancing himself again until you finally get frustrated enough and lecture him.

He longs for the simple, domestic things with you and you’re one of the few people who makes him feel “normal” with all your little moments of bonding over shared interests, laughing, and just doing normal activities.

If the opportunity ever presented itself to leave the hunting life and go live an “apple pie” life with you and you agreed, he would do it in a heartbeat. Even before you get together, he’s regularly imagining what it would be like to have a house, kids, a dog, marriage, the whole nine yards with you (but then he usually gets sad because he assumes that’s not in the cards for him).

Sagittarius Ascendant: The Wild, Adventurous Spirit with Zero Patience for Boredom 🦄✨

Sagittarius Ascendant doesn’t do “boring.” If there’s an adventure, they’re on it. Weekend trip? Sure. Hiking up a mountain? Absolutely. Staying home? Not even an option.

Spontaneity is Their Middle Name ✈️

Even if life is chaos, they’ll find a reason to crack a joke. The world is their comedy show, and everyone else is just along for the ride.

You’re the type to share everything—especially the really weird, awkward stuff. It’s like a fun roller coaster, but you never know when it’s going to loop.

They’ll happily lecture you about the meaning of life at 2 AM. You’ll have to hear their theory on the universe, even if you didn't ask.

Slow down? Not likely. They’ll be hot and cold when it comes to commitment. One minute they’re planning to settle down, the next they're booking a one-way ticket to a new city.

If you ask for their opinion, be prepared. “Do these jeans make me look fat?” You’ll get the truth, no filter, no sugar-coating. It’s not personal, it’s just honest.

Don’t expect these people to follow societal norms. If there’s a rule, they’re probably wondering if it can be broken. Tradition? Nah, they make their own path.

You’re the Master of Changing Plans Last Minute 📅

You’re not going for “perfect” but “ready-to-go.” Comfortable clothes, a wild hairdo, and that vibe that says, “I’m about to embark on the next big thing.”

rating how easy ava and sara find things in the real world:

grocery shopping: ava hates going because it's a sensory overload, and sara is overwhelmed by the crazy amounts of choice and new items because she hasn't gone to a grocery shop regularly since like, 2007. ava adds a line item on their budget for 'snacks sara just Had to try'

cooking: the food fabricator meant neither of them really cooked for years, and they'd mostly forgotten how to, so gideon signs them up for a bunch of cooking classes of various cuisines. they improve, but still have mac and cheese at least three times a week. the baby couldn't care less

cleaning: ava's stress cleaning ramps up to 1000 before the baby arrives and sara can see her face in every reflective surface. she calms down over time but the legends are always Very careful to use coasters when they come over

driving a car: much like riding a bike, driving is something sara never truly forgot, but was definitly super rusty. on more than one occasion she asked gideon to set a course, and once, when sleep deprived, pushed the gearstick straight forward like she was punching it and crashed into her own garage

putting together furniture: when putting together the furniture for the baby's room ava bursts into tears because before they were in the ikea purgatory she could have never imagined they'd end up here and it then takes them 5 hours and lots of hugs to get it done

free time: neither ava or sara have relaxed since they joined the waverider and they have no idea how to start, so they take suggestions from the legends. one weekend they go axe throwing with the baby in a baby carrier on sara's chest. eventually, they settle on hiking.

[darth-mortem]

This is a small fanfic in which Ghost and Soap look at a starfall and make a wishes. Just fluff and comfort, no hurt. 1352 words.

“Did ye know that if ye make a wish when ye see a shooting star, it will come true?” Soap asked, looking at Ghost.

They were sitting on fishing chairs about thirty feet from their camp, with their backs to the tent and the fire. It was Johnny's idea to take a leave and go out during the Geminids, of course, and Simon, as usual, didn't object. They invited Price and Garrick to join them, but the captain was not impressed with the idea of a hike in the middle of December, and Gaz said that there was nothing worse than being the third in the company of two fools in love.

“Do you really believe that?” Ghost asked, glancing over at Soap.

They were wrapped in the same blanket and warming themselves with mulled wine from large thermal mugs. They both leaned back, looking up at the starry sky.

“Nae that I believe in it, but no one is stopping me from trying.” Johnny said cheerfully.

“Then you're in luck.” Simon snorted. "We've already seen about fifteen shooting stars. And by the way, they're not stars, they're meteors."

“Dinnae be a nerd.” Soap waved him off and rested his head on Ghost's shoulder. “Ye better try it too.”

They sat in silence for a few minutes, and then a bright line crossed the sky. Johnny tensed and then exclaimed triumphantly that he had made it. Surprisingly, Simon realized that he had also made a wish, even if he hadn't intended to do anything so stupid. Although in his case, perhaps the point was that he had been thinking about something specific all this time while they were waiting for the next meteorite. And not just thinking, but... dreaming?

It was something completely new. When Simon was very young, he realized that dreams are something completely meaningless. They never come true, leaving behind only a bitter taste of disappointment. So he quickly stopped dreaming and started making plans instead. His not childlike rationality helped him survive the terrible conditions and take care not only of himself but also of his little brother. Thanks to it, he soberly assessed his chances, so he joined the army instead of trying to go to university. He became a successful soldier and then a commander. Without giving in to emotions, he survived in the worst situations and almost always brought his men back alive. His rationality failed in Roba's captivity, but in the end, it was its return that helped him escape. Perhaps if he hadn't relaxed and believed it was over, his family would still be alive. Even after turning into Ghost, he couldn't forgive himself for not taking revenge right away, for letting Roba find him and destroy everything he loved. For a long time, he forbade himself to love someone again, but then Johnny appeared in his life, and the mask of the cold, emotionless Ghost began to crack. He tried to resist, but the light emitted by the new member of the 141 was stronger.

“What did ye wish for?” Soap asked and fidgeted, pulling out a pack of cigarettes.

“Isn't there a rule that a wish won't come true if you tell it?” Ghost raised an eyebrow.

���Ye dinnae believe in any of this anyway!” Johnny lit up two cigarettes, squinting his eyes, accustomed to the darkness, and handed one to Simon. “Besides, I think it's better to voice yer wishes so they can be heard.”

“Heard by whom?” Ghost asked.

“By God, by the universe, I dinnae know!” Soap said, a little irritated. “Well, are ye going to tell me?”

“You go first.” Simon smiled slightly.

Johnny began to tell with excitement how he had been to an amusement park in the United States as a child and was not allowed on the biggest roller coaster because he was too young. Since then, he has dreamed of going there again and riding it, but it hasn't happened yet. Simon even looked at him, not believing that a grown man could have such a ridiculous desire, but Johnny was clearly being completely serious.

“Don't you get enough adrenaline at work?” Ghost asked.

“This is completely different!” Soap said confidently. “Someday I'll drag ye to an amusement park, and ye'll realize that for yerself!”

“Over my dead body!” Ghost replied, imagining the maddening crowds of children and adults and the noise that reigns in such places.

Johnny pouted, but after a minute he forgot about his resentment, taking a sip of mulled wine and feeling a pleasant warmth spread through his body. Simon, meanwhile, got up and went back to their camp to add wood to the fire and check if the tent heater was working. The ability not to save energy and warm up their sleeping quarters in advance was a luxury they hadn't had while working, so now the two soldiers were enjoying it with sincere pleasure.

“Well?” Soap asked as Ghost returned to his seat and draped some of the blanket over his shoulders. “What's yer wish?”

“I guess it's not really a wish.” He spoke thoughtfully, wondering how best to articulate what was on his mind. "I was just thinking that I would like to live the rest of my life with you. And that it would be a long one."

Before Soap came along, Ghost was sure he would not live to see old age, and that was fine with him. Dying on the battlefield was a logical end for someone who had given his entire life to the army. But now he didn't want that for himself, and especially not for Johnny. With him, retirement and the inevitable old age would not be as empty and lonely as Ghost had always imagined. Together they will certainly be able to find their place in civilian life and be happy until the very end.

“Oh, Simon!” Johnny said tearfully and pressed his shoulder against him. “Now I'm ashamed of myself for wishing such a stupid thing!”

Ghost laughed softly, hugged him, and stroked his cheek, which was flushed with cold, regretting that he was wearing his skeleton gloves in this moment.

“Where would ye like to live after retirement?” Soap asked, leaning her head back on his shoulder.

“In some small town that's hard to get to.” Simon answered thoughtfully. “Maybe somewhere in Alaska.”

“Ye like the cold.” Johnny smiled. "I dinnae mind it, though. Alaska has beautiful nature and lots of places to hunt and fish. We'll buy a house and get dogs and cats."

“And what will we do?” This time Simon asked the question. “Will we have any jobs?”

“Mibbie we'll get a job at the police station.” Johnny said thoughtfully. "There would probably be one in the whole town, or even several. We could also start a club at the school and teach kids how to navigate and survive in the wilderness."

“That sounds good.” Simon, who got along well with Soap's many nephews and had stopped claiming that the kids were afraid of him, agreed. "In small towns, crime is usually low, so we'll have a lot of free time. You're going to paint, and then we're going to have an exhibition of your paintings."

“And ye?” Soap asked.

“I might learn to make knives.” Ghost replied. “I think I'd be pretty good at it.”

“Ye know, there's something we can do right now.” Johnny squinted his eyes slyly.

“Like what?” Simon asked.

“Get married.” Soap answered and took his hand. “Why wait for retirement when we can do it now, open a joint family account, and start saving money for our future home?”

“Johnny…” Ghost was confused. “Are you proposing to me?”

“Aye.” He replied firmly. “I dinnae have a ring, but...”

“I agree.” Simon interrupted him and smiled. “Let's get married.”

He took Johnny's chin and kissed him gently, and then they stood up and went to their warm and cozy tent without speaking. The starfall continued, and all the wishes had been voiced, so now Soap and even Ghost had no doubt that everything they had talked about would come true.

Hi! What type of dates would the Love Interest would pick?

I’m thinking that Unum would pick a theme park/roller coaster, nulla We already know for certain would pick bakeries and cafes, but then Septem… 😥 that one’s more difficult…

Maybe Septem would pick a museum or temple date….??? I just know it will be kindov boring

But then what about Fames?

Actually, based on Unum's house, I think he'd be the one to enjoy the museum!

There'd be so much to learn about humans through their art, and we already know he's a collector of it! But, I'd love a theme park date with him, too...

Hmm, maybe he'd get thrown out of the museum for being too noisy and excitable? And then we could go to the theme park after where he'd fit in better with all the kids LOL!

You are 100% correct about Nulla, the date must include food or it'll be a bust! Especially sweet food!! I think anywhere you could customize your dessert together would be a fun date with him, like a froyo bar or something.

I don't think Septem would like temples because they worship deities that aren't him... AND HEY, HE'S NOT BORING!!!! This is one of my fav parts of the whole game, when you talk to him about your hyperfixations.

But I think Septem would be happy doing anything with you that is as familiar to him as possible so he doesn't feel like he's lacking control, despite being in a completely new world with you. A lot of things are different so I think he might feel kinda uncomfortable with that, so it's best to stick to things that seem as similar to the garden as possible. Maybe hiking, or a date in the park where you two just peoplewatch, walk, and talk!

Fames is difficult because we don't know much about him but I would say maybe something secluded so that he isn't tempted to eat all the humans? lksdflkjsf So, maybe a stay-at-home date... a one-on-one cooking lesson?

I don't know why but I think he'd be really cute trying to learn how to play video games and raging at them LOL But I don't know if he'd enjoy that or if it'd just be purely for your own entertainment.

something about tdiag harry and his and yns relationship after they know each other and it’s out in the open. domestic dominance. him domming her in her own house.

I did a little blurb on the coffee funishment thing I talked about a little bit here!! :D

WC: 896

>>>>>>>>>>

In one fist cradling a handle, fawn liquid with a plume of steam curling up out of the mug. It’s chalky— there’s too much creamer, and probably too much sugar. He knows the way she likes it. In the other—

Harry blinks. 

Isla gnaws into her cheek, the way she does when she’s trying to get a rise without outwardly chortling, like she’s trying to stifle a peal of laughter before executing the punchline of a joke. 

“Very funny,” he hums. 

The other mug is stuffed with unground coffee beans. The corners of her mouth twitch. She sticks it into his direction; an outstretched offering of an unbrewed, caffeinated concoction in its raw form. Her lips wobble. 

He’s awake. 

“It’s your coffee,” Isla murmurs. Clears her throat when the statement garbles over poorly cached mirth. 

He takes the mug, and her serious mien cracks like a heap of bedrock crumbling, giggling as his shoulders climb and fall on an exaggerated sigh. If she wasn’t so amused, something would probably itch in her guts at the sight of him denuded and exasperated, shirtless and sleep-soft under the eiderdown. 

The way he scrubs over his face and stares into the mug like he’ll miraculously discover actual coffee — based on his intended request — at the bottom if he just stares long enough, the edges of his mouth ticking in lopsided amusement (he abysmally masks), just has her laughing harder. 

“You’re a fucking brat,” Harry tells her, finally, bobbing his head, and her tummy swells with her hiccupy cackles— his head twists as he toggles over his phone— “It is— eight in the morning, you little menace. D’you just… plan these things the night before?”

Isla shrugs. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

He cocks his head. A soft come hither with a head of soft curls— she obliges, and he sweeps her mug from her hands, carefully, grappling over the top of the searing ceramic like it’s a balmy warmth to the pads of his fingers. Sets it onto the nightstand on a coaster. 

“Well. You can go ahead and eat one of these,” Harry tells her, cradling her close by the small of her back and nudging the cold cup of coffee beans between them. 

Isla sputters. “What?” 

“Well, what did you want me to do with it?” 

“It’s— your coffee,” Isla parrots, pointedly, muffling her speech with another snort. 

Harry hums. He blinks and tells her, slowly, “Eat one.” 

“No,” she squawks indignantly, wriggling reflexively in his hold when his forearm cinches. 

He loosens, the corners of his lips curling in a deceitfully sangfroid simper, “No?” And then—

Isla makes a little sound when he sets the coffee beans onto the nightstand beside her own confiscated beverage and manhandles her into pitching over onto the mattress, clambering up onto his knees with surprising speed for the hour on what’s meant to be a languorous weekend. 

“Did you just tell me no?” 

Isla laughs nervously, stuttery, and dim, and smothered against the comforter when he digs his knee into the small of her back, hiking up her sleep-shirt (an oversized keepsake borrowed to never be returned from his own collection) enough for her panties to peek. 

“…No?”

An indignant sound mottles her paroxysm when Harry pins her arm behind her back, slotting the bones in her wrist into a posture of filched obedience. 

“Hm?” 

A cry, then— something that starts sharp out of surprise and thaws into a soft hum when he swats over her backside with his free hand enough times to make her whine. Not enough to make it hurt. She twists her head over the duvet when he pauses, just enough to catch a glimpse of his torso stretching and his arm reaching—

She gasps, like a breath before letting a lapping salt chuck swallow her down, and contorts (with little leverage on account of the knee stapling her to the bed). Isla flails and squeals when he fingers a coffee bean past her lips. Pure sadism. It’s bitter — the amalgam of uncooked coffee and his cruel mirth, meshed with his skin stroking over her taste buds. She nearly bites—

She sputters as he tucks his fingers out, gauging her aim, and spits it back onto the blanket. He makes a disappointed hum, and she wriggles under him.

“You’ve made a mess, well done,” Harry sighs. He plucks the sloppy remnants from the sheets, “What have you done that for? …Perfectly good coffee.” and sets it onto the nightstand. 

Her face creases. He’s a mean, mean man. She lets him know as much, brows pinched, and Harry hums something amused in response, digging the weight of his knee back into her when he reaches over and culls her coffee. 

She gets just enough of a peer to note the way his nose scrunches before he clears his throat and tells her, “Fuck me, that’s sweet.” 

Isla groans. The mug returns to the nightstand with a clink. He presses a palm over her shoulder blade and murmurs, “Coffee. Black. You know the way I like it. Get it right this time. And,” his hand meanders from her back to her crown when he nudges her face into the soiled spot she’s left with her saliva, garbled with hints of a lax grin, “You’re going to clean this up, or I’m going to spank you raw.”

Jason woke with a start as someone gently shook his shoulder, one of his notes from the previous night sticking to his face as he shot up. He heard a soft giggle from next to him and looked up, and up at Jasmine Nightingale, Queen Regent, standing there with a plate of food and looking regal as ever in her teal toga dress.

"You missed breakfast, but it looks like you were pretty busy. What are you working on?" she asked, setting a plate of French toast on the table and taking a seat, careful to not look at the notes without permission. Still, he was thankful he had written all his notes in code.

He shuffled the papers together and stuffed them into his journal before pulling the plate closer. "Just research about this place, there's so many different places here. Where are your favorite places to visit when you get a day off?" He took a bite of the food and noticed a cinnamon flavored syrup.

"I don't really go anywhere on my days off, I usually just hang out in the library or in my room all day. Sometimes I'll go visit Lady Pandora and have sandwiches and spar with her, but I haven't had much of a chance to get out of the castle for a while now." She frowned to herself as if just now realizing. "I mean, I do sometimes for meetings and whatnot, but I haven't had a chance to explore much of the Realms."

"Is there anywhere you'd want to go visit?" Jason asked, breaking her from her thoughts.

She held a finger to her chin and looked upwards as she thought. "I'd like to go to the Boardwalk at Eternal Shores and ride the coaster there." She remembered more places she wanted to go in the Realms from when she first started learning about them. "I want to hike up Soul's Peak. I want to sail in the Mirror Sea, that's so crystal clear you can see the bottom and all the fantastical and weird corals and fish. I want to ride my bike down Highway 6-66 and go to Beelzebub's Waffle House and stay at Hestia's Bed and Breakfast." She clenched her fists as she hid her face with a curtain of her hair. "I want to go to the Second Globe Theatre to watch the plays that Shakespeare has released since his death." She whispered to herself.

Jason reached for her forearm and patted it in comfort, bringing her out of her thoughts. He smiled encouragingly at her.

"Sorry, I guess I needed to let that out." She sighed and blew her hair out of her face. "I really do need a day out."

"Sounds like it. Maybe you can let any advisors you have know you need some time away? Surely they can last one day without you?" He asked and finished his plate.

"Maybe, I'll talk to Frostbite about it when we go see him. It's gonna take us a little while to get there because the Far Frozen is about a two hour drive by Specter Speeder. You should go get ready, we're heading out in about an hour. We keep cold weather clothes in the Speeder." She stood up and wiped her hands on her dress, then snapped her fingers for a skeleton to appear and take away the dish.

"What dress code should I dress for today?" Jason asked and she froze.

"Dress code?" She asked, eyes wide.

"Well, I want to match the vibe of the day, I'd feel weird to wear modern street fashion if the others in my party were wearing more formal clothes." I want to match you, he thought.

"Oh, well." She played with her skirt. "I guess since I'm appearing in public, I should dress accordingly. I'm still going more casual today since I don't have to do any public speaking. If you want to match?" She blushed. "Then I guess casual royal court? I know we don't know each other very well yet, but I'd like to be your friend if you'd accept?" She held out her hand to shake.

He gently took her hand and, though he felt electricity shoot from his fingertips, he kept his face calm and he shook it once, then let go. "I'd be more than happy to be your friend." He said with a smile.

Jazz seemed frozen for a moment before she held her hand to her chest and turned away. "I'll meet you at the split in the hallways in an hour." She said as she fled the room. Jason let out a huff of a laugh.

An hour later has Jason dressed in a poet's shirt with a pair of black leather pants, still paired with his combat boots, standing and waiting for Jazz.

"Boo." He hears and startles as Danny fades into existence, floating upside down next to him. Somehow, his clothes did not obey gravity and clung to him as if he were upright. Today he was just in the same outfit Jason had met him in.

"Christ kid, you're gonna kill me again I swear." Jason grumbles.

"Leather pants? Really? I know I said she likes the biker look, but leather pants?" Danny looked him up and down. " And what's with the flowy shirt anyway? Not very biker there."

Jason rolled his eyes and sighed, crossing his arms. "I wanted to match your sister." He stated.

"Oh boy, does this mean you're gonna be dressing like dudes on romance novel covers?" Danny scrunched his nose. "I mean, I have seen Jazz read some of those I guess, and hey, if it works, then go for it I guess." Danny fell backwards so he was floating on his back. "I'm coming with you guys to visit the Yeti's today by the way. Jazz still gets lost getting there sometimes, and the GZPS has been on the fritz since the last time Technus was here, so I gotta guide you."

"Hey, I'm getting better at it!" Jazz said as she approached the pair. "Come on, let's head over." They made their way to the training grounds where what appeared to be a hover-submarine in gleaming chrome floated with it's side hatch wide open.

Once inside, Jason took the passenger's seat and Jazz took the pilot's seat and began take off. It was a bit weird to get used to the motion, but soon they were gliding through the green and purple sky.

"So, Shakespeare's released new plays since he died? Have you had the chance to read some?" Jason asked, and with that question, Jazz just began talking with passion. He looked softly at her as she rambled for the next hour about 'Love's Labour's Won', the play thought to have been lost to time, but that Shakespeare was able to pen again once he had his haunt established and had a full cast of ghosts willing to spend eternity performing.

"What about you? I noticed you were reading Austen's first post-mortem book. How are you liking 'Satisfaction'? I read it a few years ago when I first explored the library." It was now Jason's turn to start rambling about a topic as he praised it and compared it to some of her other books.

"We're getting close!" Danny yelled from outside the Speeder. Jason looked up to see a floating glacier rapidly approaching them.
