Coffee shop/Florist au

This one is just for me.

Imagine this. Pumpkin and Plum go trick-or-treating. Sugar enjoys candy. Everyone finds out that Spice has a regular Staryubucks (Sawsbucks??) order. The Halloween Shenanigan potential is infinite.

Halloween episode real ... Sugar just says fuck it and goes as a zoroark sphinx person with dog ears and legs and nobody questions it. Plum keeps shapeshifting into different kids and manages to trick her way into getting a 4 pound haul of candy before any of her parents can notice (half of which she can't eat b/c she's a puppy 😔) <-Spice thinks it's funny as hell that he can eat chocolate while Plum can't and makes sure to eat a kitkat right in front of her. just to torment her a little bit

Art student, Toga, has been struggling immensely with the concept for her final project. Until she meets her muse. Now, she just has to figure out how not to make it weird that she’s painting an entire series based on the cute, local barista.

Especially since they keep running into each other. How many jobs does Ochako have anyway?

absolutely baffled by the existence of trigun college/coffee shop/flower shop type aus. like ok those aren’t my cup of tea in general but with trigun specifically i cannot fathom what could draw someone to the story enough to write fanfiction for it which would not be completely lost by changing the setting to present-day earth, removing all the violence, and making all the characters normal humans with retail jobs like how does that even work

Also, how does Jimmy rizz works?

What's the story with each love interest?

HE AND TANGO ARENT DATING WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT HILARIOUS. They two of them are best friends sure, but dating? No way😭

Its honestly just Scott misinterpreting their relationship as romantic when, even if they act like it, its not. Scott is just too scared to mess his friendship with Jimmy up to ask whats his relationship with Tango.

Lizzie is the one to tell him theyre not dating, and it opens so much for Scott. Poor boy has been pining for months bc he was SCARED and was unaware Jimmy was ranting to Tango, Liz & Joel abt how stupid(/aff) he was!

the amount of people on that post who straight up don't fucking get what I mean when I say "conflict free fluff" is an actual nightmare

Javid x Reader. The poll was a tie, but I digress. I’ll get to Drew eventually

summary: Reader is a barista who gets a series of visits from Javid, or something. read it

the difference between a well written death in serialized fiction and a badly written one is almost 90% in the aftermath, which is why so many main/side character deaths are unpopular tbh

and like, it's possible that it's my own grief weighing on me talking, but people really do notice when a character is treated as disposable in the narrative versus when a character's death is given emotional weight. the death of people you love, hell, even the death of people you just kinda like but see regularly, leaves a hole that's really difficult to navigate around (especially when you're expected to just keep on with your scheduled life unchanged). and if you can't convey that when you kill off a regular character, people are going to respond to that negatively, because it rings emotionally false

I said I’d post drafts and half finished stuff here but never did, so have this little chunk of a modern day fic I started forever ago. (I’m about to be unemployed for a bit so maybe I’ll actually finish it. Hoping that someone showing interest will get me motivated tbh)

“Sure, what would you like?” The man asked in an english accent.

Curt took a seat at one of the stools at the counter and took a look at the chalkboards on the wall. It was hard to see in the dim light, and the boards looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in ages, simply whipped with a cloth before writing more on top until the boards themselves were nearly as white as the letters. Curt didn’t bother to try and read them. “Something with caffein please, I’m trying to fix my sleep schedule.”

The man laughed and started preparing something. “Yeah you look exhausted. What happened? If you don’t mind me asking,” he added.

Curt sighed dramatically. “I had business in Europe for a few weeks, flew home two days ago, then flew here and landed at like 9 at night, then stayed up all night.”

“Impressive,” the man replied and gave him his drink in a plain white mug. Curt took a sip. “What were you doing in Europe?”

Curt knew he couldn’t tell this man the truth, but his questioning had him suddenly remembering that he was a spy. He asked, “Hey, have you heard of the Deadliest Man Alive?”

The man frowned and leaned against the counter, pushing his newspaper crossword aside. “”That’s quite the tonal shift. Why?”

Curt shrugged. “Just curious. Heard a bit about him last night.”

The man seemed to hesitate, and Curt was suddenly very interested in this seemingly normal man. He definitely knew something. “Listen, um…?”

“Curt,” he introduced.

“Owen,” the man replied as he shook Curt’s outstretched hand. “Listen, don’t go asking around about the DMA, okay? People might start thinking you’re a detective or a spy or something.”

“Is that so bad?” Curt asked as he took another sip.

Owen sighed, as though he was dealing with a petulant child. “If word gets around that you’re looking for him, he’ll find you first. And trust me, he lives up to his name.”

Pond Ice and the In Between

luxover

Summary: “I thought your name was Zhenya,” Sid says, which—right, they didn’t talk about that, he just read it on the name tag and also probably butchered the pronunciation beyond repair. He thinks, maybe, that he should have only two states in life: on the ice, and in the office, and there should never exist any in between for him. He feels his face flush as he sort of tries to fix the situation, gesturing to his own chest, to where his nametag would be if he wore one, and says, “Your, uh. Your nametag yesterday said Zhenya? So I thought… I don’t know.”

Or: The coffee shop AU that is still somehow all about hockey.

Recommendation: I took the summary from the first fic but this is actually a series of three. In this universe, hockey isn’t played professionally because it’s too violent and all our beloved boys play very competitive ice hockey. First fic focussing on Sid, who is a lawyer and both obsessive about his job and his amateur hockey league and Geno, who owns a coffee shop Sid stumbles into after pulling an all night. Second one is Danny Biere and his live in nanny Claude Giroux. Third is the not-Leafs all-rookie era crew as disaster college students, and Mitch’s side business where he’ll break up with people for $$$. Auston/Mitch pairing in the third. I can’t overemphasize what absolutely endearing disasters they all are as non-hockey players, particularly Sid and the Leafs crew for me.

been turning a "peter follows alice out on a truth end" au over in my head, mainly that he will have to encounter permanent dirt for the first time in his life. there's no world reset safety net of bare minimum hygiene if something gets dirty it will not just stay that way but even rot worse until it gets cleaned or destroyed.... thats gonna mess with him so bad
