#Césastérix

[istadris]

Okay I might have a secondary type for my OTP (the primary type being " enemies to lovers", emphasis on the "enemies") :

Very short hero and very tall/big/buff villain.

Villain picking up protectively the hero like a little pet

Villain holding the hero by the scruff of their neck/collar

Hero jumping or climbing the villain for a kiss

Villain holding down easily the hero

Hero sitting on the villain's shoulder with no one daring to comment on the situation

Hero gently taking the villain's hand and villain being struck with their size difference and how fragile yet powerful the hero is

Hero being fed up with the villain's antics and pulling them down by their collar/cape to give a piece of their mind and/or a kiss

Villain comparing the hero to quick, tiny animals with the intent of making them look weak and annoying but instead sounding like they find the hero cute and endearing

Villain appearing in backlight as they tower over the hero down on the ground

Villain clenching the hero's chin with the underlying threat of being strong enough to break it yet being gentle enough to keep them safe

Hero stealing the villain's clothes and drowning into their scent them

Hero struggling and cursing as they pull the unconscious villain away from danger, barely managing due to the weight of the other

Another villain making a joke about the hero being the villain's pet

Spooning!

Astérix (mais surtout César) text posts

Joyeux anniversaire @istadris 🎉

Are Asterix and Caesar just joking innocently, snarking at each other, waxing poetry about the intricacies of their relationship, or full French-kissing off screen? Either could prompt this reaction.

.

Initially drawn in answer to this thread by @scribeprotra . Because it was a beautiful, poetic description perfectly summarising what I love about the ship Asterix/Caesar...and the only thing missing was Getafix Knowing and Obelix being slightly confused but ultimately a very supportive best friend.

…我不知道，但是我忽然冒出了一个想法，“痛感交换”，虽然这看上去不像是会发生的..但是管他的。

#man it really makes me want to dig out the Asterix Texting AU...

You mean THIS Astérix texting AU?

I love them 🌿

[istadris]

a short prompt for asterix/césar: asterix being hurt by some legionaries (maybe because he ran out of potion and obelix is off fighting in the other direction) and césar being the one actually ordering them to stop hurting him / take him prisonder instead and to bring asterix to him.

Among his many other qualities, Caesar was able to acknowledge and even appreciate the bravery of his enemies.

Even more when this bravery was unexpected. He had always judged the indomitable Gauls as arrogant fools, unworthy of their freedom as it only depended of their precious magic potion.

When the little warrior of the village was spotted near his troops, and was confirmed to be deprived of his magic potion (the lucky result of a well-placed arrow piercing his gourd), Caesar had been certain it would be hilariously easy. He had expected a quick victory, or for their enemy to pathetically beg for his life.

Instead, the short Gaul fought with the ferocity of a lion, fast and deadly, taking advantage of his size to slip between legionaries and strike low blows, unrelenting in his attacks despite the obvious outcome of the battle.

As he watched the fight, Caesar found himself...impressed.

The more he observed, the more he realized: the Gaul would sooner die than surrender.

It should have pleased him. He knew this man in particular had caused more trouble than any other in his village, and his disappearance would deal a fatal blow to the indomitable Gauls' morale.

His legionaries were already tasting victory, blood thirst in their eyes as they were taking the opportunity to finally get revenge for years of defeat and humiliation. The Gaul could see his defeat coming, Caesar could see it in his eyes, and yet he kept fighting, refusing to let fear get the better of him. He even had the audacity to look at Caesar between two blows, defiant until the end, and even to smile.

Caesar should rejoice at the defeat of his enemy.

But would it be a defeat ? Or a last victory over Caesar?

Caesar didn't want the Gaul's death, but his submission. They both knew it. And the Gaul refused to give it.

A legionary managed to land a severe blow on the Gaul's shoulder, forcing him to drop his shortsword; another rammed into him with his shield and sent him sprawling on the ground, clutching his wound. Spears were raised for the final blow in the middle of vicious cheers calling for blood.

"Enough."

Caesar's voice cut like a sharp sword through the shouts, halting everyone's movements. Slowly, the imperator made his way through the crowd, towering from his horse over his fallen enemy.

Yet again this defiance in the eyes glaring back at him.

Fine. So be it.

"Death would be too kind a mercy for you, Gaul. I'd much prefer to see you live to see your village's downfall."

And yet again this mocking smirk, as if the Gaul wasn't bleeding on the ground at his enemy's mercy.

"Just ...admit you can't ...get enough of me, old Julius."

His cheeks suddenly flushing, Caesar gritted his teeth, seriously tempted to change his mind and impale the Gaul right here.

"Take him away," he barked instead, turning his horse around, "and make sure he doesn't die before regretting his words!"

He would get this man to submit even if it was the last thing he ever did.

Ce Gaulois n'était qu'une épine dans son pied. Alors pourquoi avait-il des réticences à s'en séparer ?

J'écris des fics Astérix depuis 2019, sans jamais avoir osé écrire sur mon ship César/Astérix. C'est à présent chose faite avec ce recueil de fics courtes que je mettrai à jour au fur et à mesure que j'écrirai sur eux.

Bonne lecture !

1st pic :

"What's this?"

"Oh, nothing...just an old Gaulish custom..."

2d pic:

Asterix : [Challenged him to "honor the tradition"]

Caesar: [took up the challenge without thinking]

Both : [just realised what happened and have no idea how to react]

3rd pic:

[Has seen the whole scene]

"Well, well...interesting..."

À l'origine des cadeaux de nouvel an pour @calimera62 , maintenant ces dessins illustrent ma fic La Vigilance du Druide .

Peut-être qu'il y aura une suite au prochain Nouvel An...

.

Initally New Year's Eve gifts for @calimera62 , now these drawings serve as illustrations for my fic La Vigilance du Druide (the Vigilance of the Druid).

Maybe next NYE there will be a follow-up...

[istadris]

Oh there's definitely going to be funny business in Caesar's office when Asterix comes to "have a talk" B3

au where the gaul village is just a pop.30 town in the appalachians and caesar is the rich land developer from out of nashville wanting to buy their land

[calimera62]

Caesar and Astérix be like: I need to stop you, I want you to submit to me, I will always resist you, you're my enemy but I'll reward you everytime you help me, I won't ever harm you, you’re a torn in my side but life without you would be unbearable, I know not to underestimate you but I love to test your limits, you’re different from any other Gaul/Roman I know, I can’t stand you yet you’re my greatest challenge, I will protect you from harm, I can’t imagine a world without you

[calimera62]

#should really come up with a ship tag for Ceaser/Asterix

A couple of friends and I use Césastérix, or if you prefer Caesasterix ^^

The idea that Caesar is the one who has a crush on Asterix and is so cringe and nervous about it that he just declares war on the village is funny to me. An arrow with a note on it is shot over the blockade and lands in Asterix' front door and the note reads "do u like me"

[calimera62]

Julius Caesar : What brings you here? Astérix: My sheer will to annoy the hell out of you.

[calimera62]

I've pretty much read any Caesar/Astérix fic I could find on the web, because I'm starved for content about these two. Here's a list of my favourite tropes regarding this pairing:

Panoramix (Getafix) always knows what's up. Always.

Obélix is happily oblivious. If he knows what's going on between Astérix and Caesar, he doesn't understand everything but supports his bro nonetheless

Astérix may likes a bit too much Caesar's legs

Caesar and Astérix sassing each other is a way to flirt with each other, really

"Dammit, I'm not supposed to find this/him attractive!"

The Gauls/Roman legions are not paid enough for this

Caesar is surrounded by idiots

Caesar is a seductive bastard but we love him anyway

We love a confident warrior getting flustered by an act of love/seduction

Both aren't sure if they want to kiss or shut the other up

[istadris]

The life of Caesar would have been a lot simpler, had he never encountered this insufferable little Gaul.

I'm translating my collection of short Caesar/Asterix fics in English !

@scribeprotra @sinistarz @alex-procrastinates @nuctoria @tanookileaves since y'all seemed interested ^^

[calimera62]

Astérix: You’re annoying Julius Caesar: Stop holding my hand then Astérix: No
