FLUFFBRUARY 13: choice | snuggling | furry (Jack Daniels)

ADIRA'S SELF-IMPOSED FLUFFBRUARY RULES:

Six sentences.

Must be fluffy.

All 29 ficlets must feature a different Pedro.

All three words must be used (Fluffbruary prompt list here).

Use the words in order.

I reserve the right to break rules and/or cheat.

It was the best choice you’d had, ejecting from the Silver Pony and letting the plane crash on the neighboring peak, leading any trackers to believe you’d gone down in the mountains and putting in a homing call to Statesman HQ.

But it would be at least another two hours before the helicopter could extract your little team of two, which is how you find yourself snuggling against Jack for warmth…and notice that you’re the only one shivering.

“I’ve got at least two more layers on than you do, Whiskey,” you chatter through your teeth, “I don’t understand how you keep so warm.”

Turning you toward him and tucking you in closer, he rubs your back with wide hands, breathing into your ear not only to deliver heat but to tease, "You may be wearing more layers, sugarplum, but I’m clever enough to grow my own.”

True to Jack’s plan, laughing helps you heat up some and you’re just barely able to stutter, “Always found a furry chest to be the best bonus on a good man.”

“Well then you’re in double luck, ’cause I was blessed with a matching set,” he explains with a spark in his wink as he cups your hands in his and blows on them, cracking a cocky half-smile, “and you like the top, wait ‘til you see the bottoms.”

@lottelorelei you migjt be interested in this too

Blue Dragons

They hear it coming first.

Not that they would know how to recognize the sounds of immense wings flapping into the night sky.

They feel the wind next. See the trees leaning to one side, as if trying to escape from a terrible storm.

More sound, as weaker branches start to crack under the assault of the strong winds.

Then, they see it.

Or rather, they see many a star all at once being obscured by that huge mass speeding in the village direction.

It is far too late to flee when the glow of the torches finally catches golden scales.

The ground shake under their feet when the Golden Dragon lands at the village's walls.

The walls had always seemed so tall to Eggsy, even after he was no longer a child trying to climb over them to go explore the world, unheeding of his mother's cries that he would break his neck. He never did, but he also never managed to scale the stones all the way over to the top until he was much older and much more experimented.

Next to the looming Golden Dragon, they seem puny. Inconsequential.

For the first time in his life, Eggsy is paralyzed with horror, his eyes riveted to the massive beast about to destroy their lives.

For the first time in his life, as the Golden Dragon cocks its head in his direction, Eggsy understand true despair.

None of their plans matter now. They never did.

It was pure hubris to think they could ever stand against Valentine.

Only a miracle could save them now.

And he's never believed in those.

Flufftober 2022: Day 1

Harry knows he has miscalculated the moment Eggsy steps out of the dressing room to present himself in his Kingsman suit and glasses. 

They are obviously tailored to Eggsy – no Kingsman would actually wear another’s suit – but Eggsy must have asked for Harry’s precise style, because he looks like he had picked Harry’s clothes up off the floor and fitted them to himself.

“How do I look, Galahad?” Eggsy moves to clasp his hands in front of himself, then visibly recalls that a gentleman keeps his shoulders straight and adjusts his movement to allow one hand to dangle at his side while the other strokes down his lapel.

Harry tilts his chin up and firms his jaw to disguise any inconvenient emotions that might be playing across his face before saying, “You look very well, Eggsy, and I think you know it, so stop strutting about impertinently and let’s get moving.”

He expects Eggsy to jump to eager attention, so he’s unprepared when Eggsy instead shoves his hands in his trouser pockets, creasing his coat and crumpling the trouser fabric, and saunters forward. Uncertain, and unfamiliar with uncertainty, Harry holds himself still, so that as Eggsy comes near, Harry is forced to peer down at him with his throat on vulnerable display.

Eggsy regards him for a moment, then rises slightly onto his toes, maintaining eye contact as he murmurs, “I think you like me impertinent.”

Harry can still feel the heat of Eggsy’s breath against his throat when Eggsy turns away and calls, “Merlin! What toys have you got for us today?” Eggsy glances cheekily back at Harry and adds, “I really think a brolly would complete my ensemble, what d’you reckon?”

Ficlet Advent Calendar 2022

In the past 3 years I was doing an advent calendar challenge to write a short fic every day from December 1 to 24. And since I was having a lot of fun with these little ficlets, I decided to do this challenge this year, too. (Although I’m not sure if I can finish it on time - I could only do that two years ago when the usual Christmas Chaos was cancelled due to covid)

Like in the previous years, I’ll be taking prompts as well: I have a list of Christmas/Winter writing prompts, so feel free to send me some with the characters and/or pairings you’d like me to write it, and I’ll add it to the challenge! Also, if something comes to your mind that’s not on the list, you can send me that, too! I only use the prompt list as a guideline anyways. Although I do reserve the right to say no to a prompt.

My advent calendar challenges are multifandom, so it can happen that in one chapter we have Mr Carson decorating the Christmas tree and in the next one Kingsman agents are having a sleepover. Just like in the previous years, you can expect some silly festive fluff with a bit of angst, and there will be Christmas sweaters as well.

Based on the current state of my brain, this year’s challenge will most probably be related to Top Gun (both films), Downton Abbey, Gossip Girl, Our Flag Means Death, Ted Lasso, and The Bodyguard (which is my Kingsman - Eurovision Song Contest crossover), but other fandoms might be involved as well, so if you have a prompt from a fandom that’s not on the list, please still send it in!

Also, this year I’ve decided to put together some “best of” posts from the previous challenges to give those fics some love, because some of them turned out pretty neat and when else shall I re-share my Christmas-themed fics than in December? Those will be organized by fandoms (like Christmas at Donwton) or by topics (Santa Claus or Snow).

Since this challenge will be quite intense, my other fics will be on hold, so there won’t be any updates on Dancing on the clouds below and on For a little bit of sunshine during the challenge. Although this doesn’t mean there will not be chapters set in the same verse as these fics. ;)

Lastly, if you’d like to be notified about the updates on the challenge, please let me know and I’ll add you to the tag list.

The pervious advent calendar challenges can be found here: 2019 I 2020 I 2021

And the prompt list is here. (It’s rebloggable, so others can use it, too)

Fic tag game!

Thank you @mischievouschan4 for tagging me! 💛💛💛 It looked fun and I'm glad I got to answer these questions!

How many works do you have on ao3?

I currently have 8 works in my account!

What's your ao3 word count?

Only 5871 words! I only write ficlets so it's not a surprise (but honestly longer than my school essays...😂)

What fandoms do you write for?

Only 2 with published fics for now: One Punch Man and Star Wars! (mostly because I focus on fanart more than fanfic though I do wanna write more, the words just won't words sometimes 😅)

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Welp I only have 8 works so I guess I'll just give the top 1 if that's alright??? And it's a Saigenos fic - Sleeping Sensei with 230 kudos!

Do you respond to comments?

As much as I can! Sometimes I see the comments late so I dither on whether I should give a response or not...(but I cherish every single one! 💛)

What's the fic you write with the happiest ending?

Oh lordy (I cry as I realize I only wrote 2 happy fics including the wips)

But I think this one! - Kisses before chores (another Saigenos)

Do you get hate on fics?

So far no! Everyone's been sweet actually 🥹

Do you write smut? What kind?

Ehe (yes and it's mlm and wlw though both are unfinished 😭 I despair)

Do you write cross-overs?

I haven't tried but I wouldn't be surprised if one day I get an idea, I guess

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope! Thankfully

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! Though I'd be very happy if someone did

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I haven't but that would be exciting!!

What's your all time favourite ship?

Don't ask this of me I'm begging you (though on swordpoint I might answer Obikin because that's my current fixation and I love them so much they give me life)

What's your WIP you like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Oh damn too many to mention actually I am scared of opening my gdocs again 😂 And most of them are original stories, not fics (may my OCs forgive me for abandoning them I still love you and think of you fondly every now and then)

What are your writing strengths?

Angst angst very descriptive and poetic angst and more angst (a friend of mine who is also a writer neary threw away my phone in pain after reading my star wars fic and meta post. I considered it a compliment, coming from them who also writes beautiful angst)

What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing long fics! I write mostly based on vibes and feelings that I want to express in as few words as possible, mmmaaaybe because I was a poem writer first before trying on fics (what is plot I don't know her 😂)

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I'm all for it! English is not my first language and I think it'd be fun to insert some jokes and cuss words from another language 😅 (although I haven't tried it yet)

First fandom you wrote for?

I think it was for Kingsman! Although it's still a wip until now in my docs and I may never publish it, idk yet!

Favourite fic you've ever written?

Probably my first ever published OPM fic In the aftermath (I hurt mysef writing this 😭)

Thank you again for the tag my dear!!!! I had fun 💛💛💛

If you've been tagged already or don't want to do the game then don't mind me, darlings! Anyone interested can also join in the fun!!!

2, 5, 8, 16? 👀

[fic writer asks]

2. What's the most overrated thing you've written?

This. It's just one of the dozens of silly little tumblr ficlets I've written, but it's literally my DDF fic with the most views and my most kudos-ed fic ever (and I've also written Tatort, Kingsman & Criminal Minds fic at some point), and I know 100% why that is. Because it's fluffy Peter/Bob.

5. Something you hate to see in smut.

Ngl, there are some word choices that always pull me out for a second. And also, I know I'm intensely guilty of conflating "older" with "more dominant" with "top", but I do hate the mental equation that goes small=feminine=sub=bottom.

8. Something you love to see in dialogue.

Just. Realistic word choices, I think? That feel accurate for the character, for their age/class/etc. (And also I love it when Cotta full-names the boys, because he does it regularly in canon and I simply love it. Why are you going "Bob Andrews!" as a greeting, as if you haven't known him for years, as if there was another Bob running around who regularly sits in your office.)

16. What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to put off actually writing?

(just answered - nothing really noteworthy)

Prompt! ^^ Hartwin & “Keep sweet-talking and this could go a whole new direction.” 💕

Merlinsighed in exasperation. Why, why must he be the best friend of such anoblivious old twit? The way Harry could turn a blind eye to even the tiniest ofEggsy’s signs of interest was beyond him. This boy was so blatantly in lovewith Harry, Merlin failed to understand why Harry didn’t see it. Or if he sawit after all, why didn’t he do something about it? He could encourage and finallyopenly reciprocate the affection that was flowing from Eggsy’s eyes, or hecould demand that the harboured feelings had to be buried. Having been Harry’sbest friend for several decades let him see through the carefully crafted maskbehind which the man tried to conceal his true self, however, so Merlin knewperfectly well that Harry was over the moon for his mentee as well.

Helooked down at Roxy who wore an expression of irritation as she cast an annoyedglance at Harry who was praising Eggsy’s weapon skills yet again. She sighed and traded a long-suffering look with Merlinwho shook his head in shared sullenness.

“Youknow, you’re such wretched creatures,” the tech wiz huffed.

Harryand Eggsy turned around and raised their eyebrows at him.

“Excuseme?” Harry said. “What on earth are you talking about?”

“I’mjust saying. Keep sweet-talking and this could go a whole new direction.”

Eggsyadopted a viciously mischievous smirk. “And what tells you that we’re not alreadyheading in that direction?”

Everyonelooked at him, one with an indulgent smile, the other two copping the needle.

“Whydid I even remark on it, why?” Merlin muttered, placing a hand on the small of Roxy’sback and steering her away. “Let’s go somewhere we’re not constantlyinterrupted by soppy idiots.”

Nevertheless,Roxy sent an encouraging wink at Eggsy over her shoulder before she wasshepherded off, and Eggsy replied in the same way.

“Thatwas cheeky, my dear boy,�� Harry commented as soon as they were alone.

Eggsyshrugged. “Anything to taunt Merlin, right?”

Harrychuckled. “Well, he has a point, you know.”

Eggsyheld his breath and looked at his mentor in anticipation. Please.

“Wecould, um, deepen our friendship, couldn’t we?”

“Yes,we definitely should,” Eggsy replied a little breathlessly. “And I think we shouldstart right now, don’t you?”

Harryhummed in agreement, raised his hand and drew it tenderly along the line of Eggsy’sjaw to tilt his head slightly upwards, then dropped an affectionate kiss onpetal lips. Eggsy’s arms wrapped around his neck, and Harry knew that this wasthe right decision.

WINKTOBER DAY 19: Boot Worship (Jack Daniels)

I mean. Jack was the obvious choice, right? RIGHT? Lookit that winky bastard.

It’s certainly not like any other store in the City, but even if it’s only filled with cowboy boots, you can tell that the one thing it has in common with the stores in this area is that you cannot remotely afford anything in here.

“Jack,” you try to stop from entering, but he’s there behind you, scooping you forward into the shop, “this is unnecessary–”

“Nonsense, sugar, it’s my treat, you’ll see,” he says, giving you a quick peck before swaggering toward an attendant to request a style in your size.

“Now what we have here,” he says as he ushers you to a plush wingback chair, kneeling before you to gently slip the shoe off your foot and cradling your heel in his wide palm like some reverse Cinderella’s prince, “are the best boots under God’s blue sky--royal calf leather, leather sole, hand tooled and handmade in Texas since 1883.”

When the well-dressed attendant comes back with the box, he allows Jack to fit you himself, hands warming the soft but sturdy leather and gently guiding your feet into their new casing before directing you over to the full-length mirror where you can’t help but admit that the boots are stunning…and surprisingly comfortable.

“Well slap my ass and watch him take off with the cart,” he whispers warm into your ear as he stands behind you, eyes sparkling in the reflection, “you wear those ridin’ boots so well darlin’, I’m about ready to get myself fitted for a saddle.”

WINKTOBER 2022 MASTERLIST

[elletromil]

Twenty questions for fic writers

Tagged by the wonderful @lucientelrunya , thank you dear :D

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

445 (soon to be 446 as soon as I finish procrastinating typing the thing back 😅)

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

875,661

3. What fandoms do you write for?

So the two main ones are Kingsman and The Mystic Nine. I've written for a few others but usually i write like a couple fics and then move on. Kingsman is at 352 works (soon to be 353) and Mystic Nine at 35 works.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

(At first i had fandom view on instead if flat view and was very confused that the fics from Altered Carbon was at the top xD)

1. I'll take my time and make it last - Kingsman fandom (2,539)

2. I'm not calling you a ghost - Kingsman fandom (2,246)

3. Jewels of Flowers - The Hobbit fandom (1,812) (very surprised and happy and proud that this one is still in the top 5. Its an old one and i still love it to pieces)

4. Come Sail Away (Into the Light of the Dark Black Night) - Kingsman fandom (1,229)

5. Before getting 101 dogs, you need at least 2 - Kingsman fandom (1,261)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try my absolute best to always respond. There has been months and moment in my life where I couldn't because well... Life happened but I do try my best. Even people who just send me little heart emojis, I will take the time to return those because it brought me joy and I want them to know I saw it <3

Sometimes i also don't answer because like many other things, if i don't answer as soon as i get the notification, i forgor.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh man... I'm a fluff-hearted person so I'm not sure at the top of my mind, but there must be at least one.

So Unsent Message in the Texting with a dead man series come to mind, but the next fics in that series are fix-it.

And also Homesick in the Home is in your arms series, but the next fic is also a fix-it xD

I don't to angst without a happy ending very well xD i might have a ficlet somewhere that is just angst, but i don't remember which one.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All of them!

But seriously, I would say the fic with the most indulgent ending I ever wrote was There's Something About Us, my Kingsman fusion with Daft Punk/Interstella 5555. Oh and also the Kisses Like a Thousand Snowflakes the christmas fluff fic I wrote my first year in the Kingsman fandom.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I don't think I do? Quite frankly if I ever did I just deleted the thing and didn't bother thinking about it ever again.

To anyone sending any kind of hate to a fic writer: my good peeps, it's a hobby, no one held a gun to your head and made you read. If you don't like it, stop reading and go do something you enjoy, you'll feel better about yourself afterward.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No. Well I have a couple that are in the smut category, but I just... It doesn'tcome easy to me and while I read A LOT of smut, writing it insn't as interesting to me?

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I do when I feel like it could make sense? Like I did Kingsman and James bond crossovers or Kingsman and Bridget Jones ones. So like nothing wild in there.

The 'wildest' would have been the Daft Punk fusion, but its a fusion not a crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

If so, I've never been aware of it.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

A few in the Kingsman fandom if i remember well? But they were hosted on non-ao3 websites.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yesss!

A few with @insanereddragon . While we would sure have become dear friends nonetheless, I still 100% believe that friendship was fasttracked when we decided to write a mini-bang together and that mini-bang turned into an actual big-bang (according to the challenge rules).

We both co-wrote something with @trekkiepirate and it was an absolute joy too

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I have so many!!!

But in Kingsman it's definitely Hartwin or Merhartwin.

And in the Mystic Nine its Fuba.

Also Arwen/Aragorn will forever have a spot in my heart because i love them

15. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My fic with android!Merlin in the Kingsman fandom. Damn i wanna write the ending to that one SO BAD because it would be so SAD but in a good way? And, yes I know, I just said I have a fluff-heart and like my endings happy and shit, but I contain multitudes ok?

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think dialogue? Dialogue is easy to me. It's often the first part of a scene I'll have down and then I build around it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

DESCRIPTIONS

I'm not so bad at it I think, but i just... I don't like it. It takes too much time. What do you mean the reader cannot picture in their mind exactly what I have in mine without the words to describe the thing?

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think a long dialogue is kinda tedious for the writer and the reader. I will sometimes put a bit of french in my fics if i can justify it for a character because that's my first language and I'm fluent enough in it that i can make it flow. And I have put a few swedish words in some fics for a Swede character because I can bother the fabulous @solrosan with questions to make sure it I don't make myself an enemy out of the whole of Sweden somehow.

But yeah like... A bit is ok? But if its long-ass paragraph, i'd rather go the route of 'they switched to x-language' but have the convo written in english.

Also my stance on dialogue doesn't include stuff like honorific or nickname and stuff. Personally, i think that stuff should always be kept in the original language even if its a fic written in english. (Like say 'sakura-chan' instead of going 'miss sakura' or whatever)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

So in french we have :

written and never published - Card Captor Sakura.

Written and published - Lord of the Rings (the fics should still be up on ff.net under my pseudo at the time)

And in english : It's either Teen Wolf or the Hobbit. The Teen Wolf ones never made it to ao3, but the hobbit did. I could check my teen wolf tag on tumblr to compare dates but i'm lazy xD

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Ok so i will do a top five in no particular order. Considering the number of fic I have on ao3, i think it's fair.

-There's Something About Us because even if it's super indulgent, I still love it to pieces and I think it's very good. I will forever love @insanereddragon for bookbinding it as a surprised gift for me. It's in the top 2 gifts i've received in my lifetime with the time my australian friend found a way to send me flowers for my birthday.

-of flowers and fireflies the 'mini-bang-turned-big' I wrote with @insanereddragon writing this was so fun you peeps you have no idea (and the fic is so good because Red is so good at google fu and description and details)

-Not a miracle, it's a little collection of 4 horror ficlets and writing horror is so fun peeps, you have no idea

-Jewels of Flowers i remember writing this one in one night/evening and just having so much love for that verse

-The Texting with a dead man 'verse. Not a singular fic, but I had so much fun writing them and coming up with the titles and all

-The strong desires series (yes i know that makes 6 sue me). Its two short fics but damn i was proud of how hot (in my very biased opinion) I managed to make them without actual smut in it. One day, i wish to write more in that verse

Tagging @solrosan @honey-bee-britt @trekkiepirate @insanereddragon if you want to do it and anyone else who wishes to answers these :D

For iheartmactavish’s prompt list: 11. “How can you not like dogs?” Merwin please!

Eggsy stood in their home office, mouth gaped open like a fish out of water, staring at his boyfriend of a year like he sprouted a second head. He’d heard some ridiculous things, plenty, but nothing could be more absurd than this. 

And it’d come right from Merlin’s mouth without pause; Eggsy was disturbed. 

“What do you mean?” He pressed. Merlin gazed up with the same unamused ‘I don’t have time for this, Galahad’ expression that had to be perfected from his time working with Harry for decades. “How can you not like dogs?” Eggsy followed with when Merlin didn’t answer. He simply quirked a brow, sending Eggsy’s anxiety through the roof. “You bloody train them!” He screeched. 

Merlin shook his head. “The candidates train them. I merely present the canines, and occasionally have a hand in selection.” Eggsy couldn’t believe what he was hearing! His whole three years as a Kingsman, as a part of this agency, has been a sham! 

Not to mention his year long relationship with Merlin, his boyfriend, who LIED to him!

“How could you lie to me!” Eggsy clutched JB like Merlin could take him away. “I thought you loved me!” 

“I do love ye, lad. But that has nothing to do with the fact I prefer cats over dogs!” Merlin watched Eggsy pout. It was a cute pout, perhaps a little dramatic given the current conversation, but it made Merlin feel bad. He sighed, “I don’t HATE them, but they are not my first choice of pet.” 

“Is this why JB isn’t allowed in the bed?” 

“Yes and no.” Eggsy gasped. “Eggsy,” Merlin moaned. “He licks his own arse.” 

“So!” 

“So, I don’t want his little tongue be the first thing that wakes me up!” Merlin exclaimed, exasperated. “We have a perfectly nice dog bed for him, why is that not enough?”

Eggsy squinted at him. “Luna gets on the bed.” 

Merlin’s expression turned bland. “Tell me ye can train a cat to stay off furniture?” 

He thought about that for a moment, Eggsy could barely teach JB to roll over and play dead. Sit and no were about all the little pug knew, his tiny brain could only take so much. 

Poor one brain celled pup. 

Eggsy huffed, annoyed, “She licks her arse, too!” Was the best answer he came up with. 

“But she doesn’t lick my face afterwards, either.” 

“You clean her piss and shit out of a box!” 

“It’s contained and I don’t risk stepping in it if someone--” Merlin carefully eyed Eggsy, “--doesn’t pick it up.” 

Eggsy shut his mouth, Merlin had him there. So he wasn’t as proficient about picking up JB’s poops every day! He bloody worked, too! He toed the carpet, eyes cast down and faux sniffled. 

“Still can’t believe you don’t like dogs,” he went on to say, feeling like the small child he sounded like. 

He heard Merlin’s chair scrape the plastic pad covering their hardwoods, didn’t wanna ruin the floor, before he stood in front of Eggsy. A thin finger slipped beneath his chin, beckoning his eyes to meet his. They were soft and kind, the hazel ringed with brown with flecks of gold in the iris; Eggsy never tired of gazing into them. 

“It’s irrelevant if I prefer--” he stressed, “--them or not. What matters is they make ye happy, and that’s fine with me.” 

Eggsy grinned, “Yeah?” 

Merlin leaned down, pressing soft, warm velvet lips to his. “Yeah,” he whispered against Eggsy’s lips.

Hi. i would like to send you this prompt: Christmas Miracle + Hartwin.

I’m so sorry for filling this prompt probably more than a year and a half late. I always remember that I have prompts in my inbox but could never get to because of irl stuff. Now that quarantine happens, I have more time to write for you guys. I hope you see this and like what you read

Eggsy’s failed her again. She’s always believed in him but this time it is one failure too many. He simply cannot do it even after all that preparation the night before. He even went to bed two hours earlier than usual just in case he slept through the many alarms he had set.

The drape of sadness settling in her eyes when she sees him coming home empty-handed. God, how Eggsy’s heart breaks from thinking about it. Third year in a row it escapes his grasp.

What does he even say when he greets her at the door? When Daisy runs out excitedly, hoping that the promised limited Barbie doll would finally be hers this Christmas?

Curse the damned store for organising a scavenger hunt for their dolls, is the only thought in Eggsy’s mind right now.

Every year they do this. Every. Single. Year.

Fifty limited Barbie dolls hand-crafted for Christmas are sold each year and every year they change their method for customers to acquire it.

You’re thinking of getting in line early for a lucky spot? That’s so two years ago.

Now not only you have to be early, you gotta think and act fast because everyone must solve a riddle in order to get two additional clues for the final answer. Once you have it, you can unlock the whereabouts of the hidden dolls. Of course people can try and simply look for them at every nook and cranny of the shelves. However, upon payment, customers must tell the cashier their answer to the game. Every doll has its own riddle and clues, hence this is a game you can only win by playing it right.

Eggsy looks around and sees the crowd of people clutching their piece of paper and sighs to himself. He isn’t one of the lucky fifty people first in line for the shop’s game. With his experience, he plans to maybe lift one or two riddles from random shoppers and solve them with the help of Lord Almighty Google. Eggsy’s good at being sneaky, it’s one of his strengths.

The people around him though, they cling onto the riddle like its their lives. Even when some of them seem to be wrecking their brain and still cannot find an answer to take home to prized Barbies.

Eggsy’s about to give up and just get Daisy a normal, shabby, everyday Barbie doll, extremely common and not at all limited when suddenly his eyes catches an opening.

There, a sleeve of the paper pokes out from a jacket pocket of a guy standing right next to him. The random man is too busy checking his phone to notice it is close to falling out. He walks briskly to the teddy bear counter, bumping into and politely apologising to innocent bystanders on the way.

Eggsy immediately plans the route to his target and sets out determined. He can do this, Eggsy thinks. Even though he feels immensely guilty because it means taking away the chance of getting the Barbie from someone else.

He gets hesitant when they are about two feet apart. Eggsy watches the man stops suddenly and inspects the wide variety of teddy bears in front of him. Then, he leans forward and starts searching for something at the back. When his hands reappear, they are clearly holding a Christmas edition, nationally limited, and hand-crafted Barbie doll.

Eggsy sighs again, loudly this time, because there goes his final chance at making Daisy happy.

The man’s head jerks up at Eggsy’s voice and turns back, bespectacled eyes questioning.

“It’s nothing, sorry, erm, sorry about that,” Eggsy says, waving his hand in embarrassment.

“You look sad, like you just watched your only puppy died, doesn’t seem like nothing to me,” the man says without sarcasm.

“Wow, you’re blunt,” Eggsy laughs. But he is rewarded with an unimpressed look.

“Well, yes and no. Yes, I’m sad and no, I don’t have a puppy. I’m like this because my only sister wants a doll and I just missed a chance at making her happy. Again.”

“How so?” The man tilts his head slightly, his brown eyes curious.

Eggsy says, “To be honest, I thought you didn’t care much about losing that paper in your pocket which has the riddle in it. I was hoping you either drop it on your way here or I could accelerate the process and be its new owner.”

“Wow, you’re blunt,” the man shoots back, amused.

“Hey, if it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen,” Eggsy shrugs and says his goodbye, “congratulations on solving the riddle. You’re going to make someone you love super happy.”

“Huh? Oh,” the tall man looks at his doll, chuckles and shakes his head, “No, this? I don’t want this.”

Well, that brings Eggsy back.

Then, what he sees will probably be forever imprinted in his memory because the strange, very, very strange man just pulls out black device? Scanner? And unlocks the box using it. He then gently takes out the doll, undresses it, pinches a small chip stuck to its back and dresses the doll back to normal again. Once he finishes with returning the box to its original state, he walks to stand in front of Eggsy and hands him what he, no, Daisy, has been longing for for months.

“Here you go, it’s yours,” he says, nonchalant. Cool as a cucumber that he is.

“What?”

“The doll isn’t what I came here for in the first place. Password at the cashier is, in this exact order: an egg, 2020 vision, and 419. Did you catch it? Repeat them to me.”

“Ah? An egg, 2020 vision? What is that? And 419? That’s the password?”

“Yep. And here’s the paper in case they need proof that you’ve solved it,” he carries on, uncaring of Eggsy’s wide-eyed, unashamed staring.

“Why would you do this to me? You can sell the doll on eBay for so much money!”

The man smiles, it brightens up his stern face and Eggsy is momentarily struck speechless at the sight, “Oh, that’d take too much effort. And I don’t think money is as important as making someone I love super happy. Am I right?”

He is about to disappear into the crowd once again when Eggsy remembers and shouts at him, “Thank you, guy in a suit! Merry Christmas!”

Said man in a suit looks back and grins, he replies, “Merry Christmas, Eggsy.”

It is not until he is queuing at the cashier that Eggsy realises he never tells this guy his name.
