౨ৎ sheet masks & kisses — csc

synopsis you couldn’t let those sheet masks you ordered go to waste, could you? pairing seungcheol x fem reader genre fluff. word count 1.3k hani’s note just terms of endearment for reader (doll, sweetheart) and use of scissors (for its intended use, of course). literally thought of this as i was doing my skincare before bed. and also i miss my cutie cherry bunny guy :((

seungcheol’s shoulders shake with laughter at a video of a cat falling on his phone. it’s actually amusing seeing the things seungcheol finds funny. you swear his laugh could heal someone.

at this moment, you’re laying comfortably on seungcheol’s chest who is splayed out on the couch. you’re not doing anything in particular, just admiring seungcheol. you play with his brown locks, the silver chain around his thick neck and you poke his cheeks, pink lips and his dimples whenever they pop out as he smiles.

you swear a family of eight could live in his dimples.

there’s this glow on his skin, it makes you jealous how beautiful he is and so effortlessly at that. your finger travels upwards from his jaw on the left side of his face to his forehead then back down on the right side of his face, finger landing in the dip above his collarbones. the indent above his clavicles are deep due to the way he’s laying on the couch.

“cherry?”

a ‘hm’ sound echoes in the room, his chest vibrates. seungcheol pauses the video and looks at you, giving you his undivided attention.

“do you wanna do sheet masks with me?”

“sheet masks?” he cocks his head to the side slightly.

“yeah, i ordered a bunch two weeks ago and they came a few days ago but i didn’t have anyone to try them with,” you pause, “wanna be my testing buddy?”

“testing buddy, huh?” he muses, “let’s do it!”

without saying another word, you scramble off of seungcheol and disappear to grab a few sheet masks. when you return, you notice that seungcheol has gone back to watching those cat videos while he was waiting for you to get back. you tap his knee and hold out the different sheet masks, fanning them out like a deck of cards.

“take your pick: lotus, shea butter, green tea or mung bean?”

“hm,” seungcheol puts a finger on his chin to exaggerate his thinking then puts that finger on a packet, “i wanna try lotus root.”

“green tea for me then!” you put the rest on the coffee table, “do you want me to do yours first or mine?”

“can i do yours first, please?”

you think you might die there and then. cause of death: seungcheol saying please.

when you agree to his request, he lets out a quiet yet excited ‘okay’ and plants his knees either side of your body. using his hands, he pushes back your hair, “don’t wanna get it trapped under the mask.”

then, he grabs the green tea extract mask you picked and very, very carefully rips it open, slipping out the wet sheet. and all you can do in this moment is simply stare at seungcheol. he’s doing this with almost trembling hands, wanting to be so careful with the mask, not wanting to tear it as he unfolds it and not wanting to startle you as he places it on your face.

the mask is definitely bigger than your face, it bunches up at the ends and becomes annoying for seungcheol as he tries to smooth it down. remembering a video he saw, he wipes his hands on a tissue from the coffee table and gets up from his spot.

“wait here, i’ll be back in a second,” he ruffles your hair and walks away to grab a pair of small silver scissors.

“are you going to do what i think you’re going to do?” you watch as he straddles you again, scissors in hand. you admit that he looks a little crazy right now, kneeling above you with the scissors in his large hands.

“depends on what you’re thinking,” he tucks a lock of your hair behind your ear, “i saw this trick somewhere to make your mask fit better because your face is so tiny.”

“oh yeah, i’ve seen that! go ahead, just don’t poke me.”

“i would never, doll.”

seungcheol uses his thumb and forefinger to lift the mask so that the scissors don’t touch your skin, snipping at three spots: the nose bridge, upper lip and chin. he uses his fingers to connect the cut pieces together then leans back to look at his work.

at some point, he had grabbed a mirror on the way back from retrieving the scissors and he hands the mirror to you which you use to inspect for what feels like a while because how is he so good at this?

“i’m just too good, aren’t i?” seungcheol puffs out his chest in pride and you gawk at him then back at yourself in the mirror.

“yeah,” you mumble, “a little too good…‘cus who else have you done this on, huh?”

“excuse me?” seungcheol dramatically places a hand on his chest, “only you, sweetheart, you know that!”

you laugh at his exaggeration, “just teasing you, cherry.”

seungcheol folds his arms over his chest and pouts before mimicking your pose on the couch next to you, “whatever, it’s my turn so get over here.”

since seungcheol’s legs are stretched out, you take this opportunity to sit on his thighs instead of kneeling like he did. you kiss his pouty lips, “such a cutie guy.”

“here,” he hands you the packet of the sheet mask and you take it to tear it open.

the sheet is cold at your fingertips and the liquid coats them. seungcheol holds his hair back for you to lay the mask on his face. to no surprise, the mask fits perfectly on his face and doesn’t even need sizing it down like yours did.

seungcheol stares at you, his brown eyes following yours. you know what he’s doing. he’s making sure that you know you have all of his attention, that he’ll do anything you ask, may that be big or small, silly or not.

you copied what seungcheol had done to your mask and flatten his, getting rid of bumps and making sure it stuck to his handsome face properly. you were almost done but seungcheol being seungcheol, he can never be serious. he captures you with his arms and pulls you close to his chest, squeezing his arms around your body.

“this is payback for the same thing you did to me last time, doll.”

you can barely get your words out with the strength he’s using, “what did…i do last…time?”

“you did this too! said you were loving me or something?”

you never forgot, you just wanted to taunt him because you love when he's on the receiving end of your teasing comments.

“let go! i can’t breathe!” you wiggle in his tight hold and he finally spares you. you put on an act of trying to catch your breath, seungcheol scoffs playfully, “i didn’t even squeeze you as hard as you squeezed me, doll.”

“yeah, you got me there. but you weren’t affected by my strength, anyways,” you point out, “you’re way stronger than me.”

“maybe you should come to the gym with me next time.”

“yeah, yeah,” you pat your face to check the mask, “hey, i think we should remove the masks now.”

you both take the mask off and stuff each one back in its packet.

“okay, now pat the extract in!” you instruct and gently pat at your skin. seungcheol just watches.

“why aren't you patting it in?” at this, seungcheol doesn’t say anything but tilts his head up to gesture at you to do it for him. so, you use your hands to do seungcheol’s job, palms curving at his cheeks as they tap repeatedly. you get more aggressive with each tap and seungcheol’s eyes close shut at each contact of your hand with his cheeks.

“okay, now you’re just borderline slapping me.”

you squish his cheeks together and kiss his lips, “sorry, need your skin to absorb it quick.”

“i need to be compensated, doll.”

“compensation? for what?”

“for all the slapping!”

“i wasn’t slapping but fine, i’ll compensate.” you huff, “what must i do?”

seungcheol puffs out a cheek and taps it, you press a kiss to it. then, he turns his head and puff out the other cheek, you kiss it. he does it again and you can’t help but giggle at his antics yet you follow without protest.

“how many more kisses do you want?” you punctuate each word with a kiss to his cheeks.

“hm…one more?”

you sigh loudly because seungcheol points to his lips this time. say less, you would gladly kiss his lips anytime.

Chapter Two: “Our First Day”

The scent of coffee hit first, burnt, slightly acidic, like someone had forgotten the filter or was maybe just waging war on the beans themselves.

Then came the sound of grumbling.

You padded into the kitchen, towel snug around your chest, hair twisted up in a towel like some kind of post-shower tower of ambition. A thick green clay mask dried in streaks across your cheeks and forehead, lending you the aesthetic of a very glamorous swamp witch.

And there he was.

Eddie Munson, mid-yawn, wearing nothing but a threadbare Metallica shirt and a pair of blue plaid boxers that had definitely seen better days. His hair was even more chaotic than usual, one side smooshed from sleep, the other sticking out like it was trying to escape the rest of him entirely.

He blinked at you over his chipped coffee mug, completely unbothered. “Morning,” he rasped, voice still sleep-rough and weirdly gravelly in a way that made your spine twitch pleasantly.

You stared. Not at the mug. Not at his hair. No, unfortunately, your gaze had dipped a bit lower.

Bare legs… Tattoos… Boxers hanging just low enough to require willpower to stay on.

You looked away too fast and ended up locking eyes with his reflection in the toaster.

Shit.

He squinted. “You okay? You look like a sexy sea witch.”

“I am a sexy sea witch,” you replied coolly, adjusting your towel as if that would somehow add professionalism to the moment.

He leaned against the counter, scratching his stomach. “Well, you win. You’re definitely the hotter cryptid in this apartment.”

“You’re not even a cryptid. You’re a cryptid’s messy cousin who crashes on their couch for six months and eats all their cereal.”

“Rude,” he said, taking a sip of coffee like it didn’t taste like regret. “Also true.”

You crossed to the cabinet for your mug, brushing past him, and…

You felt it.

The warm hardness of him, the barest graze of his skin against your thigh, the quick flick of heat that sparked in the silence between you.

You didn’t say anything. Neither did he.

But you both definitely felt it.

He coughed into his mug, turning away. “So hey, I was thinking... we should establish some, like, morning ritual boundaries. Y’know. For survival.”

“Agreed. Rule one: pants are mandatory.”

He raised a brow. “Even for coffee emergencies?”

“Especially for coffee emergencies.”

Eddie leaned in with a grin. “Counter-offer: towel tax. If I have to wear pants, you have to wear more than a glorified bath sheet while smearing seaweed goo all over your pretty face.”

You fake-gasped. “This is high-grade French algae extract. You’re lucky to witness it.”

“Oh, I feel honored,” he said, raising his mug in a mock toast. “To Roommate Chaos, Day One.”

You clinked your mug against his with a smirk. “Let the battle begin.”

It didn’t take long for things to spiral.

Fifteen minutes later, you were perched on the kitchen counter, still in your towel and face mask, watching with growing skepticism as Eddie hunched menacingly over a frying pan like it owed him money.

“What are you doing exactly?” you asked, eyeing the suspicious grayish smoke curling upward.

“Making eggs,” he said, in a tone that implied you’d just insulted his grandmother’s honor. “Like a grown-up. With dignity.”

You squinted. “You’re scrambling them with a fork directly in the pan.”

“Don’t question my methods, sea witch,” he snapped… then immediately cursed as a sizzle popped too close to his hand. “It’s called rustic.”

“It’s called jail food.”

Then the smoke alarm screeched to life.

Both of you froze.

Eddie flailed with his makeshift fork spatula, waving it at the ceiling like he could intimidate the alarm into silence. “False alarm! Calm down, you glorified beep box!”

You leapt off the counter and cracked a window, your towel slipping slightly as you reached for the fan. The cold air hit you like a slap, and the mask on your face had officially started peeling, but there were bigger problems at hand.

“Jesus Christ, Munson,” you coughed, fanning the smoke. “What did you do?”

He looked genuinely baffled. “I dunno! The pan was hot, and then the butter turned black, and then the eggs tried to fight me!”

The alarm finally gave a pitiful dying beep and fell silent. Eddie looked at you, sheepish, fork spatula still in hand. “So uh… maybe you handle most of the cooking part of roommate life?”

You snorted and turned toward the fridge, ready to survey the damage and see if there was anything edible left.

Then you opened it.

And stared.

“What the hell is that?”

Eddie joined you, peering over your shoulder with mild pride. “That? Oh. That’s my ‘cooler surprise.’”

You slowly closed the door like you were sealing away an ancient evil. “Cooler surprise?”

“Leftovers, jerky, maybe some science experiments. Pretty sure there’s an old bologna sandwich in there that could vote by now.”

“You brought that into my fridge?”

He shrugged. “Didn’t want to waste anything. Also, it’s probably fine… Probably.”

You looked at the fridge, then back at him.

“Eddie,” you said slowly, “We’re going to the store later to buy groceries. If that thing moves or hisses at me again, I swear to god I will evict you and your sentient lunch.”

He held up both hands. “Okay, okay. No more questionable meat stowaways. Roommate truce?”

“Only if you promise not to cook again until we’ve tested your fire safety knowledge.”

He grinned, eyes twinkling. “Deal.” Still holding his hands up like you might arrest him for his fridge crimes.

You leaned against the counter, arms crossed, towel still clinging precariously, a wicked little smirk tugging at your lips. “Good. Because if you ever try to serve me incinerated eggs again, you’re on toilet duty for a month.”

Eddie blinked. “Toilet duty?”

“Scrub brush, gloves, the whole horror show,” you said sweetly. “Consider it… incentive to improve.”

He tilted his head, mouth twitching. “You trying to scare me straight, or just trying to see me in rubber, sweetheart?”

You didn’t blink. “Why not both?”

Eddie bit back a laugh, chest shaking as he turned toward the sink. “Okay, okay… challenge accepted. But just so you know, if I’m stuck cleaning the toilet, I’m blasting Dio the whole time.”

You rolled your eyes. “Fine. But if I hear Holy Diver on repeat while I’m in the shower, I’m dumping cold water over the curtain on you.”

He turned, pointing a finger. “Now that’s an act of war, and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal under the Geneva Convention.”

You just smiled innocently, sipping your coffee.

He grinned widely as he took a sip of the abomination he called coffee, watching you over the rim of his mug with those unfairly warm brown eyes. "Fair warning, sweetheart, I thrive in chaos. You're gonna regret challenging me before the week's out."

The way he said it… low, teasing, with just enough gravel in his voice to make your toes curl against the linoleum, sent a shiver down your spine.

You turned to the fridge, mostly to hide the way your cheeks had gone pink under the drying mask. "Uh-huh. Famous last words, Munson. Just wait till you see what I do to your shampoo when you leave your dirty socks in the living room."

Behind you, Eddie let out a scandalized gasp. "You wouldn't."

You peeked over your shoulder, meeting his wide-eyed horror with a slow, wicked smile. "Try me."

For a second, he just stared at you, mouth slightly open like he couldn't decide whether to be offended or impressed. Then, with a shake of his head, he muttered, "Jesus. I think I just fell in love a little."

The words hung in the air between you, lighthearted but charged, like a spark waiting for kindling.

Eddie seemed to realize what he'd said a second too late, his ears going red as he quickly busied himself with refilling his mug… badly, judging by the way hot coffee sloshed over the rim onto his fingers.

"Fuck!" He hissed, shaking his hand like that would help.

You couldn't help it. You laughed, the sound bright and unguarded in the quiet morning kitchen.

Eddie shot you a look that was a half glare, and half helpless amusement. "Laugh it up, sea witch. Just remember… I know where you sleep."

You leaned against the counter, tilting your head. "Promises, promises."

The second the words left your mouth, you both froze.

Shit.

Eddie's eyes darkened, his grip tightening around his mug. For a heartbeat, the air between you crackled with something new, something dangerous.

Then the smoke detector went off again.

You both jumped as the shrill beeping filled the apartment once again, the toaster now emitting ominous black tendrils of smoke.

Eddie blinked at it. "...I swear I didn't even touch that thing."

He lunged for the offending appliance, while you waved a dish towel at the smoke detector like you were trying to exorcise it. "How is it always you then?!" You prayed this wouldn’t become a habit.

Eddie, now grinning like the little shit he was, leaned against the counter and crossed his arms. "Talent, baby. Pure, chaotic talent."

The alarm finally stopped, leaving the kitchen in sudden, ringing silence.

You turned to him, dish towel still in hand, facemask cracking at the edges from all the frantic movement.

Eddie's gaze dropped to your mouth, then back up, slow and deliberate. "So. You cooking Breakfast?"

You threw the dish towel at his face.

He caught it with a laugh, the sound warm and rich in the morning light.

Eventually, the chaos died down, the mask was peeled, the towel retired, and peace- and pants, had been restored.

You emerged from your room dressed for battle… grocery shopping, pulling on a hoodie over your tank top just as Eddie clomped out of his room, dragging on his boots like they’d personally wronged him.

“Alright,” you said, tossing his keys from hand to hand. “Let’s stock up before your meat goblin in the fridge starts laying eggs.”

Eddie zipped up his leather jacket with a dramatic flourish. “Hey, don’t talk about Barry like that.”

You blinked. “You named it?”

He shrugged. “If it’s gonna haunt our home, might as well make it part of the family.”

You rolled your eyes and shouldered your purse. “Come on, Cryptid Whisperer. Bradley’s Big Buy awaits no man.”

Outside, the sun was trying to be helpful… too bright for how early it still felt, casting long streaks of gold over the cracked pavement. Eddie’s van, hulking and unmistakable in its green and white vintage glory, waited in the lot like a loyal beast of burden.

He unlocked the passenger side with a ceremonial jiggle of the key. “Climb aboard the S.S. Sketchmobile. No promises about the AC.”

You smirked, stepping up into the van. “As long as it doesn’t smell like Barry in here.”

Eddie popped the driver’s side door and slid in beside you, fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “Don’t jinx it.”

He fired the engine to life with a low rumble, and the two of you peeled out of the lot, heading toward the promise of groceries, caffeine refills, and, if you were lucky, a cart race in aisle seven.

The van rumbled down the road with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for elderly dogs and questionable carnival rides. The radio crackled to life on its own, some local station playing Dio’s Straight Through the Heart at a volume that suggested the van had opinions about your musical taste.

Eddie didn’t seem to notice, too busy drumming his fingers against the wheel in time with the beat, his head bobbing slightly.

You glanced at him. “You know you can turn that down, right?”

He shot you a grin. “Nah, this is the van’s vibe. I’m just along for the ride.”

The wind whipped through the open windows, tossing his hair into even wilder disarray, and for a moment, he looked like some kind of road-worn god of chaos. Sunglasses perched crookedly on his nose, leather jacket partially flapping, one hand draped lazily over the wheel like he was barely trying.

Then he hit a pothole.

The van lurched violently, sending your purse sliding off the seat and into the footwell.

“Jesus, Munson,” you yelped, grabbing for the oh-shit handle.

Eddie just laughed, unbothered. “Relax, sweetheart. This baby’s survived worse.”

You shot him a look. “Define ‘worse.’”

He pretended to think about it. “Uh… let’s just say there was an incident involving a ditch, three cases of beer, and a very pissed-off deer.”

You groaned. “Of course there was.”

Bradley’s Big Buy loomed ahead, its neon sign flickering ominously. Eddie swung the van into the parking lot with the grace of a shopping cart pushed downhill, coming to a stop that was mostly in the lines.

He killed the engine and turned to you, grinning. “Alright, roomie. Operation: ‘Don’t Starve or Eat Barry’ begins now.”

You unbuckled your seatbelt. “Operation: ‘Don’t Let Eddie Buy Anything That Can Move On Its Own’ begins now.” You corrected.

Eddie clutched his chest. “You wound me.”

Inside, the fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting everything in a sickly glow. The place was half-empty, save for a few beleaguered employees and a guy in the cereal aisle who looked like he was having an existential crisis over Frosted Flakes.

“You ever notice how grocery stores always feel a little post-apocalyptic?” Eddie mused, pushing the cart like it was a noble steed. He’d insisted on steering, naturally. With the same confidence of a man who definitely once rode one down a hill just to see what would happen.

You glanced around at the scuffed floor tiles, the eerily empty checkout lanes, and the faint sound of a crying baby echoing from somewhere near the deli. “Yeah, it’s giving ‘end of the world’ core.”

Eddie pointed at you. “See? This is why we vibe.”

You arched a brow. “Because we both think grocery stores are haunted?”

“No, because you get aesthetic dread. That’s rare.”

You laughed despite yourself. “Okay, Munson. I’ll give you that one.”

He turned down an aisle with a swagger that said he was about to conquer it. “So, what’s your go-to apocalypse snack? Like, if you had to survive on one food while society collapses around us.”

Without missing a beat, you said, “Cheese balls. The kind that comes in a tub the size of a toddler.”

Eddie made a face like he’d just fallen in love. “You absolute goblin. That’s beautiful.”

“What about you?” you asked, elbowing him gently as you passed the frozen foods. “Let me guess. Beef jerky and spite?”

He tapped his temple. “Add sour gummy worms, and you’ve basically cracked my survival guide.”

You both rounded into produce, and for a second, your hands brushed as you reached for the same bag of clementines. It wasn’t even that dramatic, really… just fingertips and a little spark, but it made you both pause, the moment hanging there, soft and weightless.

“Guess we’ve got some similar taste,” Eddie said, and his voice was a little quieter now, a little rougher around the edges.

You didn’t pull away. “Guess so.”

Then the overhead speaker crackled to life, blaring a monotone announcement about a clean-up on aisle five, and just like that, the spell broke.

Eddie cleared his throat, dramatically tossing the clementines into the cart like he was reclaiming cool points. “Alright, what’s next on the list, roomie?”

You pulled out your notepad and grinned. “Cereal. But I’m warning you now… if you try to sneak Count Chocula in there, I will fight you in this store.”

He looked smug. “Finally, a worthy opponent.”

Eddie pushed the cart with renewed purpose, veering toward the cereal aisle like a man on a sacred mission. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting his sharp grin in an almost cinematic glow.

"You say that like Count Chocula isn't the obvious choice for survival," he said, voice dripping with mock offense. "Do you want to face the apocalypse without fortified chocolate marshmallows?"

You matched his stride, arms crossed. "I want to face the apocalypse without diabetes."

Eddie gasped, clutching his chest like you'd shot him. "Betrayal. Absolute betrayal." He grabbed a box of Lucky Charms and cradled it like a wounded comrade. "Look what you've done. You've made the leprechaun cry."

You rolled your eyes and snatched the box from him, tossing it back onto the shelf. "Nice try, but we're getting something with fiber."

Eddie's expression twisted into pure horror. "Fiber? Sweetheart, that's basically sawdust with a PR team."

You ignored him, reaching for a box of Cheerios, plain, sensible, boring, and dropped it into the cart with a pointed thunk.

Eddie stared at it like it had personally insulted his lineage.

Then, with the speed of a man who had spent years perfecting the art of petty theft, he swiped the Count Chocula and the Lucky Charms off the shelf and slammed them into the cart before you could react.

You gaped at him.

He grinned back, wild and victorious.

"Munson..."

"Too late," he said, already pushing the cart forward, his laughter bouncing off the shelves. "The deed is done. The chocolate and marshmallows have spoken."

You groaned, but you couldn't fight the smile tugging at your lips. "You're impossible, like shopping with a child."

Eddie shot you a wink over his shoulder. "And yet, here you are. Shopping with me anyway."

The cart rattled forward, weaving through the aisles as you bickered over frozen pizzas.

“Vegetable toppings are not a crime!”

“Pineapple on pizza is a war crime!”

You debated the merits of name-brand ketchup.

“It's literally just tomatoes.”

“Nah, sweetheart, it's a matter of principle.

And nearly came to blows over whether or not Pop-Tarts counted as a nutritious breakfast meal.

“No, that’s absurd, you know how much sugar is in those things?!”

“They have fruit in the name, that's basically a salad!”

By the time you hit the checkout, the cart was a chaotic mix of sensible groceries and Eddie’s questionable survivalist picks. Including, but not limited to:

- A family-sized bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, “For morale.”

- A single, sad-looking lime, “For balance.”

- A can of spray cheese, “Emergency rations.”

- And, of course, the Count Chocula and Lucky Charms.

The cashier, a tired-looking woman with a name tag that read ‘Marge’, blinked at your haul like she was silently judging your life choices.

Eddie, oblivious, leaned against the conveyor belt and shot her his most charming smile. “Hey, Marge. You ever think about how weird it is that we just trust bananas?”

Marge stared.

You buried your face in your hands, hiding a grin.

Eddie, undeterred, plowed on. “Like, they’re yellow, they’re bendy, and yet… boom, we just eat ‘em. No questions asked?”

Marge slowly scanned the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. “That’ll be $47.82.”

Eddie nodded sagely. “Exactly. Exactly.” He looked back at you. “See? She gets it.”

You swiped your card before he could start a philosophical debate about snack foods, then grabbed two of the bags and hauled him toward the exit before he could do any more damage.

Outside, the sun had dipped lower to midday, painting the parking lot in golden streaks. Eddie juggled two grocery bags in each arm, the Count Chocula box proudly sticking out of the top like a battle standard.

“So,” he said, bumping your shoulder as you walked. “Same time next week?”

You sighed, but you were smiling. “God help me.”

Eddie grinned, bright and unrepentant. “That’s the spirit.” You loaded the van, the radio crackled back to life, Dio again, because of course, and Eddie sang along, horribly off-key, his voice carrying out the window.

Who loves Eddie Munson, show of hands! 😂 Let me know if you want to be tagged! And to which fandom. (Bayverse TMNT, Vegeta, Eddie Munson).

Here's an extract from an interview with Orlando in a French magazine, in 2003 (translated by me). All these paragraphs contain information that I've rarely or never heard before, so I thought it was intriguing.

Did being in New Zealand help you get under the skin of an Elf? Yes, the country is very green and is full of great sites, it inspired me to do a lot of sports and have a very balanced life. I did a lot of swimming. I also stopped drinking coffee. At one point, we filmed during the night, for nine weeks straight and at the beginning, when I arrived at the set, I had drunk two big cups of espresso while doing make up. But as a result, I was completely over excited. When I saw the results in the dailies, I found I was touch much on the screen. So I decided to stop drinking coffee. Little by little, I could transform into an Elf. I drank herbal tea with lemon. I also tried to stop smoking. But, whatever Viggo may say, I didn't start eating only berries and nuts!

First, I want to know: did Viggo ever publically say Orlando only ate nuts and berries? It's such an hilariously surprising segue; sounds like something Viggo was teasing him about back then. Viggo maybe couldn't imagine being vegetarian? Or maybe he was worried that Orlando, being quite hyper and having a very physical role, would collapse from exhausting and malnourishment? It's a lovely little insight to all the ribbing going on.

It's also intriguing how Orlando describes his progress from bouncing off the walls (from too much coffee, youthful enthusiasm, nervousness and probably ADHD) to finding calm and his inner elf. Can't help imagining Viggo introducing Orlando to yerba mate and meditation. Viggo is often described has having endless energy, but he's also very focused and serene. And considering how much Orlando says he observed Viggo and learned from him, I can see that this must have been one of the things he learned: to channel your energy to when you need it, to control it.

Did you experience any mishaps on set? A lot! For example, I was in a car which got stuck in mud for many hours with Sean Bean and Viggo Mortensen. We had gone to the countryside to buy Christmas presents for our families. There were a lot of great handicraft shops on the way, but the roads weren't very good.

Is this a completely different story than the one so often told, about Sean & Orlando getting caught between landslides and having to stay over in cottage for a couple of days? Because that tale also contained Christmas shopping... But the story normally lacks Viggo, and they were never really stuck in any mud, only in a random cottage. If it's a different time, how many times did they drive around buying Christmas gifts? And if they got stuck in the mud "for hours", how did they get out? And did the three of them have a good time in the car while waiting? Hehe.

I'm forever intriguied by the myths created around the filming of LotR. The lore seems to have a life of its own, regardless of what actually happened.

Did your family spend Christmas with you in New Zealand? Yes, my family, my girlfriend at the time and my friends made the trip. I love celebrating Christmas and I organised a big party with lots of presents for everybody. It was summer in New Zealand so it was quite unusual to celebrate Christmas in the sun. The New Zealanders love to barbecue crayfish at that time of year. It was very special Christmas food! The other actors went home for the holidays, but I decided it would be more fun to stay. I had a brilliant house on the beach and I invited all my closest friends and family. They all loved New Zealand. We took a trip to the North Island by car and it was magnificent. Actually, I have cousins who moved to New Zealand, so I now have relatives there.

Seems Orlando's whole family came over for Christmas in 1999, including Orlando's then girlfriend. I mostly find this interesting because firstly, there were a lot more people visiting and being around from time to time than you'd think, if you just read the "official" lore. Secondly, this girlfriend story is always different; according to one she stayed in NZ with Orlando for seven months - "and then two more", before they broke up. In another, she came to visit briefly, but they broke up because of the long-distance thing. He's at one point engaged but mostly she was erased from the stories. And obviously, not all those things can be true at the same time. For me, it just shows how much we are NOT told about life on the set, and how much info is a little unreliable (including this).
