Day Three of Creek Week 2023 - Past / Future
When Our Hearts Beat (Slow) Together by Sparklepool101 on Ao3
Summary:
Creek Week Day three - Past/Future
Title from Bird Song by Juniper Vale
Secret Keeper, as he was known as a child, and George have been friends for ages, nearing ten years at this point, and their friendship started with a confession.
So how have they never gotten together?
Sneak Peek:
Slipping into the lecture hall only fifteen minutes late, Ben made his way to the seat he had staked out as being his the first day of classes. Now, normally being fifteen minutes late to class would be horrible, and Ben would probably be stuck trying to find someone who actually took decent notes to catch up, but not in this class. The professor was notorious for starting class at least a half hour late every day. Over half the class hadn’t even bothered to show up yet. One of the people who had shown up, was an old friend of Ben’s who just happened to be his seat mate: Angel José. They had played together in the Creek all those years ago, and had luckily ended up in a lot of the same classes over the years.
Ben gave Angel José a friendly wave as he sat next to them and pulled out his laptop. He’s barely logged in before the chair to his right is moved and it’s usual occupant sits down. George Wilfred Koenigsfeld.
...
Try as he might, Ben couldn’t pry his eyes away from George. His hair had grown out, slicked back with gel and falling onto his shoulders. (Though there was a little bit of hair, right next to the arch of his widows peak, that was out of place. Ben fought the urge to smooth it out for him.) It was no longer dyed bright blue, instead it was closer to a shade of navy. George’s scraggly attempt at a beard(? Or goatee?) should by all accounts look messy and unflattering, but Ben couldn’t help but find it charming.

Gehrman having a "how to pick up fair maidens" book at the workshop when he looks like THAT is just absurd. Babygirl you don't need instructions for what comes naturally. I may not be a maiden anymore but you can pick me up anytime peepaw.

Cadence by @motswolo illustrations continued with a tribute to Marlene...
Chapter 42: Marlene tests Remus' tea tasting ability with 2.5-9 scoops of sugar and he looks through their record collection. The album that was playing, Marlene's favourite and one by Genesis. I drew this whilst drinking tea and listening to Joni Mitchell for the full experience.
Various chapters: the books Marlene and Remus lend to each other and read from. Some classics, plus one about a lighthouse and one with a christening.
Chapter 56: Marlene and Remus go to the cinema during the Easter holidays. Apparently there was an Odeon opposite Goose Green at some point ages ago so I went for that!

George angst idea😼
He realizes how differently he's treated by Eliza with Jane and how he's been doing all of the work and he just walked out on them one day and didn't come back to the creek for about a week and when he returned he tried avoiding the tea timers and hung out with secret keeper
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS????? (I'm sobbing)

Imagine if people just sometimes came to Wallace's enclosure just to rant and vent about random stuff, and Wallace ends up getting all the tea.

Glamours/Map Night: Cute or Dapper
Nothing particular fancy for tonight's treasure maps. We almost forgot a theme before the coordinator suggested 'cute or dapper.' Busy doing a Frontline, I threw the Songbird set on Lalli and called it good. But! We did get two final rooms, AND a silver! Pictures of proof down below!
Also... obligatory /tea emote... >.>
First final room! Managed to catch one of two RPRs in angry form!
Second final room with awful screen shot! But hey, wifey (@luc1d17y-ffxiv) is gettin' down!
Hastily awful screen shot of lil dude before he slipped away!

You ever finish taking a shower and you wanna drink tea or just any hot beverage and read a book and also listen to music, because that's how good the shower was?
