The Calm After The Storm

Hey! so this is for Varigo Week 2020! Wooo! Day 1 - Cozy / Soft

I thought ‘why not start it where it all began for me?’ so boom! A small snippet of life for the boys after the coffee shop au! Hope you all enjoy!

------------------------

  Mornings like these made it difficult for Varian to want to get out of bed and leave his boyfriend for his classes. It honestly wasn’t fair how Hugo’s arms wrapped around his waist and held him in a cozy embrace as the seconds kept on ticking by the longer he waited, his breath ghosting against the back of Varian’s neck in his deep sleep. It seemed like years since they’d met in that coffee shop in the winter, christmas relentlessly edging closer each day, but he’d met Hugo and they’d spent it together in perfect bliss.

  Memories of dates and almost kisses flooded his thoughts as he shuffled further back into the warmth of his boyfriend to combat the coldness of the room. They really had been through a lot, huh? His favourite date by far was the ice skating - even though it had been a horrible night, for that one moment where it was just them, it was perfect. They twirled and danced over the rink without a care in the world as Hugo guided them in their own secret routine that outsiders didn’t notice - hands holding hands and fingers intertwined. 

  Also when they snuck out, streetlights and christmas decorations being their only company as they laughed and joked on the way to the park where Hugo presented him with his gift - the glowing necklace. Varian’s hand slid from its place on top of Hugo’s to play with the small vial still around his neck, it illuminating with a small shake. It really was beautiful. And when they got their tattoos, his eyes travelled now from the vial to the beaker on his right wrist that Irene had done for them oh so kindly as a gift for his twentieth birthday and Hugo’s small test tube on his left wrist peeked out slightly from under the covers. Wow. 

  Hugo had always been there to soothe him from his nightmares too, playing with his hair and placing gentle kisses to his forehead as he attempted to calm down. Like the night before trouble came, and they’d cuddled up with hot cocoa and snacks on a makeshift bed on the sofa to watch one of his dramatic teen movies to calm down. They’d fallen asleep in each other’s arms that night, his head on Hugo’s chest and legs tangled in their slightly awkward position, but neither cared. It was them and they were happy. 

  And then there was his mother returning. Of course she hadn’t stayed long, but in the short time she was here, all hell broke loose between them all. Hell, he’d even broken up with Hugo! What was he even thinking? Even he himself wasn’t sure - he was just so angry and confused and betrayed, because his Hugo wouldn’t do that and he just let himself believe Ulla. He remembered the heartache on Hugo’s face as he’d screamed at him - the way he was clearly trying not to cry as he ran out of the apartment. Varian had wanted to go after him and pull him into an embrace, to kiss and wipe each one of those heart wrenching tears away, but he just couldn’t. Not with Ulla there.

 But that was behind them now. All that mattered was them cuddling under the bedsheets in their room - even though Varian knew he’d have to get up soon anyway. 

  Varian wanted to shuffle out of Hugo’s grasp. To head out of bed while the other man was still soundly asleep and get changed and ready for college before Hugo tried to convince him to stay for the day and just call in sick, however something stopped him. He wasn’t sure he even wanted to leave today. He wanted Hugo to keep him in bed all day where they could cuddle with the bitter winds outside that seeped through due to the apartment’s shitty insulation and even worse heating units - it hardly even worked most of the time.

  A groan left Varian’s lips as he turned to face his still-sleeping boyfriend, his blonde fringe barely covering the scar running through his right eyebrow and the slight tilt of his lip making it look like he was smiling in his sleep. He reached out - slowly, carefully - to push the fringe aside and tuck in behind the other’s ear. He always looked so at peace sleeping. It was adorable. He’d missed this during their break. Sighing, he pushed himself into sitting up, a slight smile creeping onto his face as his legs swung over the edge of the bed to rest on the blue carpet of his floor, a familiar heat moving behind him and wrapping his arms around his waist again.

  “Yknow you could always just stay at home.” Hugo’s husky voice sounded absolutely heavenly at the moment - that alone making him want to sink back into the covers and fall into a sleep again. But no, he couldn’t just give up that easily. Not when it’s Hugo.

  “Mmm...I could, couldn’t I.” he muttered, leaning back into his boyfriend who placed a kiss to his shoulder that made his stomach melt and heart soar. God, he loved Hugo so much when he was being soft and affectionate. Ruddiger bounded into his lap and curled up, purring and promptly falling asleep. Ah. 

  “Well, the fat bastard has decided you’re staying. So, will you relent to the Lord and Saviour Ruddiger Ruddiger’s laws or will you suffer a whole day of your son ignoring you?” Hugo questioned, and Varian could hear the smirk on his face. Sure, Nuru would probably scold him for not showing up, as would Isla and Eugene, but...with Ruddiger making his rules and Hugo being such a tempting person, how could he leave his two favourite fellas at home? That would be unjust torture!

  “Alright, almighty cat lord. You’ve convinced me.” Varian relented with a grin as he flopped back into bed, Hugo moving to lay down as well and pull his boyfriend into another tight embrace as they did so. “But we’re gonna have to think of another illness to let me off. So what will it be? The flu?”

  “I’m thinking something more along the lines of...I don’t want to leave my extremely attractive and loving boyfriend syndrome. Absolutely killer disease. Took the life of my friend Zander. Very tragic.” Hugo commented sleepily, his lips ghosting on the back of Varian’s neck, sending little tingles down his spine and making him shiver all over. 

  “Sounds like the perfect excuse.” He murmured back. “Hey Hugh..I love you.” Varian whispered as he slowly shut his eyes, Hugo merely making a small groan of agreement to Varian’s confession as they both drifted to sleep once again, deciding to neglect all their responsibility for the day and just...live in the moment.

  Thank god for that coffee shop.

//OH BOY. 2020.

It’s been a year, hasn’t it y’all? I know for most of us it hasn’t been a good one by a longshot, including myself. Most of us have been on lockdown since March or April, some more so than others. And of course there’s all the other things that happened in 2020 that I can’t even begin to list here.

But ignoring all of that for a moment, a few big things have happened to / with me this year. And I figured I might talk a bit about those. Under the cut because it’s long [in hindsight, it’s REALLY long hsddfkjfkjf] and goes into some personal stuff not everybody is gonna want to read.

I wouldn’t call it a vent exactly, but both negative and positive stuff is talked about in this in a lot more detail than I’ve gone into otherwise, so beware of that.

Of course, the first big change was me choosing to archive @alchemyready​ and move here. I think it was the right choice, because I really was losing muse for Varian, and honestly... Tangled the Series was my life for an entire year, but I was getting burnt out. I needed a change.

Funnily enough, when I switched blogs, I never even predicted that Infinity Train was gonna take over my life. I had fallen headfirst back into one of my first three main fandoms- the RPG horror game Ib. That lasted for all of about a month before I caved and finished Infinity Train.

I’m super happy I got into Infinity Train, even if I really wasn’t ready to switch main fandoms when I did. I’m still really hoping it’ll get renewed soon. I have a lot of hope for a book four, but not so much for books five-eight. But you know what? We’ll see. Maybe HBO will surprise us.

Then there’s the second thing, which has less to do with the blog and more to do with me. I finally hit the milestone I’ve been waiting to hit for the last two years- I turned eighteen. That happened back in September.

I didn’t post about this a whole lot, but I was having a lot of problems with my mom prior to that. She’s been one of those parents that’s over-paranoid about the dangers of the internet, and she didn’t know I was on social media until late 2018 when she forced me to show her everything I was doing online.

Ever since then she was constantly threatening to make me give her all my login information so she could read what I was doing, which I did Not want to do, and I’ve been waiting for baited breath to be legally allowed to say no.

Now that I’ve passed that milestone, she’s stopped asking. I’m so thankful for that, ‘cause this year has been too stressful to deal with that on top of it.

The rest of the year has been kind of scattered ups and downs. I’ll be honest, my anxiety problems have gotten worse. I don’t talk about this a lot here either, but I’m nearly constantly dealing with that. I haven’t been formally diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, but I know I have at least one if not multiple.

I struggle with health anxiety and social anxiety, as well as some anxiety issues I’m not entirely sure what to call. I deal with intrusive thoughts and anxiety attacks, and tbh some of my frequent bouts of writer’s block have a lot to do with this problem.

The lockdown has been dragging me down quite a bit. I’m under more restrictions than I’d really like to be under because I have yet to learn how to drive, and my mom is determined to keep us totally locked down for the most part. I haven’t been to any public business since February, and it’s extremely draining.

But, I’ve also discovered some things through the pandemic. I joined a survey website that gives me points to redeem for digital gift cards once I do enough surveys, and I’ve been getting more of the arts and crafts supplies I’ve really been wanting to get through that.

My brother got me a $25.00 Amazon gift card for my birthday, and I suddenly realized I could order a lot of stuff through there, which is what I’ve been doing. I finally got a couple of sets of Ohuhu brush markers which I’ve really been wanting to use with my traditional art.

My art has improved in leaps and bounds since the beginning of the year. I didn’t realize it until I went and looked back at some of my Tangled the Series art from January-February in comparison tor recent OCs and Infinity Train stuff I’ve drawn, but I have gotten SO much better. It’s wild.

I discovered new YouTubers to watch that I’ve really been enjoying. ZeRoyalViking and ChilledChaos caught my attention via Among Us videos, and I’ve been watching a lot of them lately. Also, I finally remembered to actually SUBSCRIBE to Ethan (Crankgameplays) which I should have done a long time ago LOL.

The Christmas season was difficult because things were so different, but I still had fun. I managed to get my family (meaning my parents and brother) some better gifts through Amazon than I usually do, and they all seemed to be really happy with what I got for them.

I got an Infinity Train shirt which I swear I will take a picture of me wearing at some point or other. As well as more arts and (mostly) craft supplies that I’ve been wanting.

ANYWAYS. I’ve rambled enough, I think. Kudos to you if you actually read this far. I wish you a very happy New Year, and I pray that 2021 is a much, much better year for all of us. Here’s hoping for a miracle and Covid-19 leaves us much sooner than expected.

Reunited

Hey, this is my piece for the theme reunion for Cassarian month 2020, enjoy!!

This takes place about three years post series, so Varian’s around 20 here.

--

Varian shivered slightly as the frigid night air travelled through the window of his bedroom, causing the flame of the candle next to him to flicker slightly, the shadows cast on the papers in his hands dancing around. He tugged the pale blue blanket tighter around his shoulders, keeping his eyes trained on the letter in front of him. He leaned slightly away from the wooden frame of the window in hopes of avoiding the cold a little more.

He eyes continued to trace over the words he had committed to memory long ago, his fingers gently tracing the rough, imperfect edges of the page. They ran over a slight tear in the side of the worn paper, it had been the first letter she had sent when she had left Corona, and it still had to be Varian’s favourite by far.

She had written it a few weeks after leaving, still close enough to home to see the lanterns released on the princess’ birthday. She had messily written about all she had seen in the first leg of her journey, all she had done, and those she had met. She had asked about what he had been doing, how Rapunzel and Eugene were, and if he had gotten the nerve to propose yet.

He sighed, wiping away the tears that had begun to form in his eyes, a singled one slipping through his fingers, landing on the long faded ink of the letter. He shut his eyes, weakly vying the tears to stop. He knew why she had to leave, even encouraged her to do so but… Varian would be lying if he said a part of him didn't miss her. A pang of guilt rippled uncomfortably through his chest at that.

He understood why she was away; she had to find herself, discover where her destiny was leading her, and he loved that she had thought him special enough to share her journey with…which is why he despised that small part of him that couldn't help but wish she was back by his side, if only for a moment. His heart yearned for her, wanting to hear the laugh he had missed the last three years, see her fiery green eyes, see how much she had changed in the past few years, which he swore he could feel in her letters.

He shook his head, blinking any remaining tears from his eyes as he forced himself to focus on the words he had been mindlessly staring at all this time. He couldn't be selfish. Not right now. His gaze darted to the end of the letter, landing on the bit where she had asked him if he had been watching the golden lanterns cover the moon as well.

Varian’s fingers, that he swore were only shaking from the cold, set the letter on top of the others resting on his lap. He leaned over, carefully blowing out the candle that had been burning next to him for the past few hours, the smoke curling up before disappearing with the soft late breeze, leaving the pale glow of the moon as his only source of light.

He sighed, bringing his knees up to his chest, mindful not to fold the letters too much as he did so, his eyes never leaving the full moon’s gentle glow, “I miss you, Cassie.” he breathed.

——

Cass took a deep breath of the fall air, allowing the night’s gentle breeze to wash over her. Her path was lit by only the moon’s soft rays flickering off of the vast scape of trees before her. She shut her eyes to rest for a moment, trusting Fidella to follow the well worn path ahead of them.

The past few years had probably been the most freeing she had ever experienced, free to choose who she would be, what she would do, with no one around painting their expectations onto her. She had loved the thrill of travelling, finding a new adventure, a new job, and new people in whatever direction she had decided upon that month. But even after all of that, a piece of her heart still rested in Corona, and that had been what had called her back here, travelling through the dense forest surrounding the berth of Old Corona.

She slowly cracked her eyes back open, a few buildings on the outside of the small village coming into view. A renewed energy coursed through her veins, sparking at her heart with anticipation, after all these months, they were so close.

She leaned forward in the worn leather saddle, flicking the reins she held firm in her gloved hands slightly, “We’re almost home girl.” she whispered, her voice being carried away with the breeze. Her heart pounded in time with Fidella’s hooves beating against the earth, it felt surreal that after years she would see her family again.

She had meant what she said all those years, that Corona had never truly been her home. After all, she had learned through her journeys that a place could never really be a ‘home’. It had been the people; her family. She missed her friends with every fibre in her, never having the same connection she seemed with them with those that she had met on her travels. She had a home with Rapunzel, Eugene, Lance… Varian.

A smile broke onto her face as the stone tower of his house came into view, Fidella finally making her way onto the worn streets of Old Corona, slowing slightly as buildings of all sorts replaced the trees that had been there breaths ago. Her smile grew as they drew nearer the large house. She could hardly believe that after all these years, she’d finally see his lightened blue eyes, hear his nasally laugh that she couldn't help but picture reading every one of his letters.

Her land lightly traced over the small saddle bag that she knew held them, but her attention was snapped away from that as she all but jumped off of Fidella’s saddle, hurriedly making her way up the few steps that stood between herself and the door.

Her heart had yet to slow from the sudden movement, her hair falling messily from the wind, but she paid no mind to much besides knocking on the large wooden door, unable to fight the smile off her lips at the prospect of seeing him again.

She didn't take the time to consider how late it was, midnight long fallen beyond her grasp, not to mention the fact Varian had been spending increasingly late periods of time staying at the castle working on his engineering… experiments. Cass had to ask him more about his new job, never really bringing it up in his letters. None of those thoughts particularly mattered to her at the moment anyway; she didn't regret leaving, but she had been away far too long.

Varian sleepily opened the door a few moments later, sleeping rubbing the palms of his hands against his eyes as he did so. It took his tired eyes a moment to focus on who was before him, all of his excitement at he surprise of seeing the girl who never went a day without entering his thoughts coming crashing over him.

“Cassie!” was the only word he managed to form, immediately throwing his arms around her shoulders, resting his face into the soft dark fabric of her cloak as he did so. His smile only grew as he felt her arms wrap around him, returning the hug with near as much force and desperation, as if both were terrified to let go for fear she may disappear once more.

Varian’s chest shook with silent sobs, a few tears escaping his eyes and falling onto her shoulder. She had been away for so long… so was it strange that it felt as though nothing had changed? An overwhelming sense of peace rushed over Varian as they stood there, the smile unable to leave his face since he had laid eyes on her.

Eventually, he stepped back, running a hand roughly across his face to wipe away any remaining tears, only to realize that Cass’ eyes were shining as well. “I missed you too, Varian.”.
