Skill & Spill: Coffee Shop AU

I've been awfully quiet lately so let me just drop some notes for my Coffee Shop AU (which I call Skill & Spill for now. The Cafe is called "King's Roast" :3)

King of Soph and Tcvern3 centric cuz I can and love them ^-^

• Vernias and Brent work there and Eevee and Nick are regular costumers

• Eevee and Nick are friends already and hang out together a lot

• Brent sometimes takes night shifts (no one likes to take them because it's boring but Brent doesn't mind and it fits his schedule + it's chill and kinda free money)

• plus the cafe has like very good free wifi!! (Thanks to him)

• Brent and Vernias always biker when they work together.

• Brent always looks sleep-deprived while Vernias looks ready to yap to the costumers with a bright smile that is kinda contagious and lights up the entire cafe

• Brent is literally the CEO of eyerolls (idk why, he just seems always annoyed without intending to)

• Nick always enters the shop like he owns it and makes his presence known instanly if Vern and / or Brent are working ("HELLO FELLAS"😎🤗)

• Nick literally orders the same drink all the time (and it is one that Vernias himself made up for the Menu)

•^ Brent fucking despises it and makes it known all the time as he hates on it specifically

• Sophist and Brent play marvel rivals together online/see each other often in online games, but don't know each other irl (they see each other in the cafe but don't know they are the person they play with online. I stole this idea from the anon that send the ask because I LOVE it!! all credit to you anon!! This inspired a lot of this fic and King of Soph's relationship in it)

•^ I have so much to add to this but to put it short: Brent is a strategic try-hard and Eevee plays chaotically risky but they kinda are a very strong duo - but also often share one braincell (which is noticeable in the game-chats and sometimes when they do stupid / random stuff in-game)

• Sophist has a fav cake he orders often

• They are allowed to take leftovers home because the Cafe never throws stuff away and Vern gifts some baked goods/cake etc. to friends

• After Brent and Sophist become friends irl, Brent always takes leftovers from Sophist' fav cake home to give it to him (love language? Also huge contribution to Sophist catching feelings for Brent)

•^ spending time with Brent when they become friends irl helps Sophist' mental health significantly (ref to canon because I can)

• Brent loves to keep things neat and tidy in the cafe

• Vernias hates cleaning up but he loves organising/decorating stuff

• there is a silly pick up line on every cup Vern hands to Nick

• Eevee has an unhealthy caffeine intake (Vern and Brent are concerned) + his nightly coffees become more frequent over time (maybe also to see Brent)

• Vern doing art on the cappuccinos/latte with lots of care and love (Brent standing next to him and, rolling his eyes, telling him to "take your time, dude.")

• Nick's tip are very generous

•^ Vern liked it at first but when he notices that Nick is doing it on purpose so he can see, Vern starts to plafully roll his eyes whenever he tips.

• Brent being very interested in technology has resulted in him taking care of anything in regards to it in the cafe. The others often would be lost without him. Brent wonders how they managed anything before.

• Brent unironically loves the smell of freshly ground coffee beans

• Vern is responsible for the chalkboard menu (very colourful with some cute doodles like stars and cakes and coffee)

• Vern supports local artists as he suggested to hang some of their Art on the walls of the shop.

FINAL COMMUNITY UPDATE! :

I'm SO sorry for this long awaited update, I truly cannot believe that you all put up with me and my WEEKS of worth of delay and lying about publication, it's so incredibly ridiculous but I can only thank you all over and over again for your dedicated patience ( ´ ᗣ ` )՞

I have finally have big news about the community, which is that the community is finally ready to be joined! If you desire to join, please send a dm to one of the moderators (@crashingstar69 @sopping-wet-cat-wizard @second-best-daisy @the-tcclique @sussybaka42069 or me, maybe not @vernnationembassador as they aren't available on the weekdays), and they will get back to you with an invite as soon as they can. Please be patient while waiting for your invitation however, as we are still busy ppl irl with personal lives and work or school of some sorts. ( ´﹀` ) /lh

General rules will be provided through the guidelines, but I'm putting them here as initial reminders for those who want to join, and also to be more in-depth/explicit about them. Please let me or any of the other moderators know if you have any other questions! Otherwise, thank you so much! ٩(ˊᗜˋ)و

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

1. Do NOT send the invite link to anyone else, invites are sent by moderators only. Doing so will result in a temporary ban. Feel free to tell a mod about somebody who wants to join the community, as blogs without any rpf interaction will need some sort of voucher in order to join.

2. Please note that you will have to join the community as your main blog, as communities do not allow side blogs to join. We hope this feature will be added in the future, but as of now, we cannot do anything to change that. If you do not wish to join the community for this reason, that's a completely acceptable decision, we will not take that personally at all. ( ´ ˘ ` ) /gen

3. Please read the pinned rules posted in the community before you go off posting anything. After that, you're free to go! And again, me alongside all the other moderators of the community thank you guys so much for all your patience!

"Is this an 'I'm unconfortable around gestures of affection but you deserve them' I love you or an 'I've messed up. Badly' I love you?"

"... both?"

This is a rewrite of a specific moment in my original post about the sugar au that spiraled out of control in length into a whole drabble as always lmao- ( ˊ ᵕ ˋ)

For reference:

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

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

( Btw I was inspired to write this bc Pen's drabble of this au, as it introduced to the idea of Brent having an alternate persona for his visits; What originally started out as some Sophist pov/analysis of his situation and King/Brent's effect on his life quickly snowballed into me writing out this whole thing, so everybody say thank you to Pen for unintentionally inspiring me to write this ꉂ(≧▽≦) /hj /nsrs /silly)

(also long ass text warning bc its length spiraled out of control as per usual lmao XD)

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

"Call me Eevee." He says, and King, a little shocked at first, gives him a smile and a nod. "Of course."

Silence fills the air afterwards, and while Eevee is still ever-increasingly filled with anxiety, some part of him is satisfied. It feels like his heart has finally, or at least somewhat, settled in his chest. Shuffling back into his seat a little more, he let out a gentle exhale, the relief that followed making him practically melt back into his seat.

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

All this time, his whole damn life, he felt like he'd been floundering about, trying to make ends meet. When met met Leo all those years ago, he thought he'd found "a way out". Now, that thought was almost pitiful enough to make him choke out a bitter laugh. What a fucking joke that was. He should've known from the beginning, but his honeyed voice and his hazy eyes had given him promise of a new life, and it did, with all the money, drugs, and drinks you could ever want or need. And sure, it had brought him company too, but it had swept away his identity, his self love, and his ability to see himself beyond the blinding lights and the lens of a film camera. It had warped his reality so much that even when he looked in the mirror, he saw nothing but a pitiful, thrown-around worker, tied up in strings and silk and bruises. The title he held in this community, in Leo's business, it meant nothing, but the price for wearing such a heavy and luxurious crown was the shackles that it came attached to. It was maddening, in the way Leo taunted him, because surely, he knew; he knew that he could never find a way out of this inescapable maze that had become his life. He was stuck in this damned rabbit hole, and in the end, the lust in his work became a way to fill the ever widening gap of self loathing and hatred. He found himself seeking it, and what sweet, sweet lechery it brought him, but even that wasn't enough to quell his self abhorrence.

And then, there was King. A man who had come to him with, ridiculously pure intentions. He was inconceivably handsome and comically dense, and even more so rich. But he was, lost. Lost in the same way he was. The first time they met, King asked him to hang out with him. It made him laugh every time he thought about it; It was the most ridiculous request he'd ever gotten from a client. But King was just as patient as he was blunt, trying to get to know him, and just as much, struggling to understand himself. He could see that much, and on one hand, it was maddening. How could you be given the life that so many people desired, and still be troubled? How could you not know what you wanted in life, if everything was at your fingertips? It made him angry, but on the other hand, it was pitiful, and even more, painfully familiar. Maybe that's why he felt bad, his heart twinging in stinging relatability. It was almost disrespectful, to say that he saw himself in King, but if he hadn't, he would've never taken up his offer in the first place.

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

"... Call me Brent."

Eevee practically shoots up in his seat, staring at King, no, Brent with wide eyes. Brent can't help but chuckle softly at his reaction, his face splitting open into a grin again. Eevee swears he can feel his heart rise in his throat, cutting off the airway and blocking off any words that he could possibly form to respond with. Brent reaches forward and rests his hands softly atop of Eevee's, rubbing their knuckles softly. He finds he can't stop himself from smiling, his head dipping down in humility, and when he looks back up into his eyes, Eevee feels his throat close up even more. Brent's eyes are practically shining, looking at him so softly and passionately, like he's some sort of valuable gem. He looks back down as he speaks once more, staring at Eevee's hand with some sort of intent:

"If we're sharing names, then it's only right that I tell you my own."

And with this sort of gentle and oh so delicate reverence, he slips his own fingers under Eevee’s hand, softly wrapping them around the curve of his finger. Raising it up in tender devotion, and for a moment, Brent meets his gaze. Looking back up at him wistfully, the light melting into softness drowning in his brown eyes. A small smile curves upwards at the edges of his lips, just barely. Like a negotiation, like a “You can accept this, if you want.” Brent’s eyes close, before he presses a chaste kiss to his hand, soft and yet firm. He lets it linger, the heat of his lips almost blazing.

It’s soft, and tender, and oh so fragile. Like the universe has stopped for a moment, and a single breath will shatter this delicate equilibrium. He can’t even bring himself to breathe. When Brent looks back up again, his eyes are shining. It is that look, that admirating look, as if he is the only brilliant, shining star in a void of darkness, that finally makes him let out a breath.

Ah. And Eevee thinks he could kiss him, right then and there. His eyes fill with tears that, with one wrong blink, would muddle his glasses foggy. He feels his throat quiver before he even lets out a word, and it takes the squeeze of his barely open mouth shut before he finds his breath again, letting out a soft exhale. He practically shudders while doing so. He could barely breathe with the way his heart had tightened, squeezing his chest. It felt so overwhelming, this sincerity, in the most unconceptual way possible; as if he was peeling away the layers of bruised and marked skin and identity, letting himself be bare and vulnerable in a manner that wasn’t so defiling for once.

Random Party Crashers incorrect quotes

[sopping-wet-cat-wizard]

(source) (Hi @starry-sophrosyne!)

Ship name. Spinning these two around for a little bit in my head and I found out something interesting.

So, when I was trying to figure out a clever name for the ship, my first thought was "Leo is a constellation so let's find out what the brightest star in the constellation is called and go from there".

(source)

As it turns out, the brightest "star" is the heart of the lion, called Regulus.

Lionheart.

(And then I got extra and changed "heart" to the greek word "καρδία" (kardia) and shortened it to kar. Lionkar.)

But something else that's interesting is that Regulus isn't actually a star.

It's actually four stars that come in two pairs.

ELDETTE. I NEED YOU TO UNDESTAND. The temptation that ate away at me yesterday to write something about them?.. (literally only got overwritten bc i was dead tired- /srs)

Doomed yaoi but it's not concurrent, and it's not redeemable. Doomed yaoi but it once was the silly dreams of two teenage boys almost flunking college, spending their time up on the rooftops with their heads in each other's laps; Their legs hanging off of the sides of buildings, talking about their hopes for the future in what are now distant conversations. Doomed yaoi that, after going down separate paths in the past, eventually reconverged with one having gone astray, down a path of irreversible toxicity. Doomed yaoi that eventually ends in a conversation, minutes before a world that's inflicted nothing but hurt and pain on certain people falls apart.

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

"You can still change, Leo. Do the same thing they did. Leave it all behind, go somewhere else? Start a new life for yourself, in a place where no one will find you? You still have time."

"... Are you stupid?"

"!.."

"I'm not a good person Tox. Me being "hurt" doesn't change anything, it doesn't atone for what I've done or make my situation remorseful to others. If I continue the cycle of inflicting pain onto others and it's not unintentional*, then my reasoning doesn't matter. I am plain evil; no different from a person who's not hurt, and all the same as anyone else."

* "... I don't even remember if it wasn't before."

"..."

"I can't change, nor can I ever be accepted somewhere else. My past would catch up with me eventually, and besides, old habits die hard."

"Maybe you think that because you don't believe you deserve a second chance, but even though you hurt people..."

"... See what I mean? You can't think of a redeeming quality for me either."

"..."

"I've told so other people this same thing, about being a lost cause. Manipulated, controlled them with it. Do you really believe that I don't think it applies to myself too?"

"... Leo, I-"

"I'm not the person I was back in college, Ztar. You know that better than anybody. Now, go. I don't want to see your face ever again."

"..."
