Prompt 131

Jasker is a dragon, sure. But he prefers his human form. He prefers pretty clothing and lutes over his scales and wings. He hasn't a hoard yet. He thinks. He's never truly cared for gold, though he knows that not all dragons have hoards of gold. That's just the default. What if he did have a hoard, and it just wasn't some boring old gold pieces? At first he thought his hoard must be his many exuberant outfits, but when he got into a scuffle and one outfit was ruined, he was disappointed but that was it. There was no anguish, no mourning, no big depressive meltdown over it's destruction... So probably not a hoard. Just an interest. He then thought it must be his songs. But when he heard a bard in some town playing one of his songs, he didn't erupt into scales and roars. He didn't burn down a city. He didn't even rip out his hair or anything. He wasn't even mad. He thinks you'd be more possessive and jealous over a hoard. He was mostly proud. The bard said it was a song he didn't write, he said it was by Jaskier, and he sang it quite well. But even if he didn't do any of those things, Jaskier would be mad, sure, maybe even mad, but never MAD. He thought of lovers being his hoard, but the thought went away very quickly. None of his lovers stay, and though it stings sometimes, he thinks he'd be flinging himself off a cliff if a treasure of his hoard literally got up and walked away from him. And then one day he meets a Witcher. The witcher looks at him with these piercing golden eyes, and Jaskier feels an audible shift in his soul, his being. He found it. His treasure. Maybe witchers are his hoard, and Geralt is just his first one. Maybe his hoard is just friends he meets. He doesn't know, all he knows is that he can't stop himself from staring at the gold of Geralt's eyes. Perhaps Jaskier does care for gold.

Okay, I'll be honest that when I first saw Peter/Ned tag in your fic, I thought it was a mistake, mostly because this is new to me.

But as a self-proclaimed multi-shipper who likes to see all kinds of dynamics, I'm interested in what they can become so keep it up!

(It definitely doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I love friends to lovers trope.. Nope, not at all!)

friends to lovers is such a superior trope and i have been hooked on it since i was but an itty bitty child reading my little stories,,,, like oh??? you mean they know so much about each other in ways that no one else could quite get???? you mean they picked each other???? they have inside jokes and have had sleepovers and movie marathons???? they learn to love based on an already preestablished care for each other that had no other motive other than 'this is my person'????

i eat it up every time

If only I had grey, green, black, brown, yellow eyes; I would stay at home and do something. It’s not that I am curious. On the contrary, I am bored but it’s my duty to be attentive, I am needed by things as the sky must be above the earth.

It’s Tradition, an Eddie Munson Blurb💚

A/N: I love the movie Leap Year and this has been sitting in my mind all day so enjoy✨

“Neither of you are Irish.” You ignore Steve’s comment as you dig around in your dresser in search of a very important box.

“You don’t have to be Irish to take part in this tradition Steve.” You respond making him just roll his eyes as he gets comfortable on the edge of your bed. “I know it’s in here somewhere.” You mumble to yourself as you feel around in the back of the drawer that holds your undergarments.

“This has the potential to end badly you know that right?” You let out a huff as you stand up and turn so you can face your bestfriend as he grabs your stuffed rabbit that you’ve have since middle school and begins messing with its floppy ears.

“I’m aware this could end with me on the floor of your bedroom crying my eyes out but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.” Steve lets out a sigh of defeat before tossing your rabbit to the side so he can stand up.

“Well if you’re going to propose to someone you can’t do it looking like shit so come on,” you smile as he walks past you and into your closet. “We’ve got work to do.” You go back to digging around in your underwear drawer in search of the box that holds a special ring while Steve busies himself with finding you an outfit.

“You look great.” Steve gives you a reassuring smile a few hours later as he puts his car in park in front of Eddie Munson’s trailer. “If it goes south just call me and I’ll meet you at the corner okay?” You just nod as you try to calm your nerves.

“Thanks Steve.” You lean over and give his cheek a sweet kiss before you get out of the car.

“Good luck!” He shouts before he pulls away as you turn and head for the front door of Eddie’s house.

“You can do this.” You whisper to yourself as you walk up the creaky steps of his porch. “The worst thing he can say is no.” You add as you smooth out the shirt Steve picked for you that has green hearts all over it, you reach down and feel for the box inside the side pocket of the black vest he picked because he said it went with the black jeans you had already had your mind set on wearing. ��Should I knock or ring the doorbell?” You ask yourself as you finally reach his front door.

“You know how I feel about knocking and no one has ever used the doorbell.” You jump at the sound of Eddie’s voice making him laugh as he gets up off the beat up couch he keeps on his porch.

“It’s for strangers who don’t know to just walk in.” You explain as you watch him smile as he takes a few steps closer to you.

“Exactly.” You smile back at him as he stands just a foot in front of you. “Not to be an asshole but did we have plans today that I forgot about?” You can’t help but laugh at how he’s rubbing at the back of his neck with one of his hands as he asks letting you in on the fact he’s embarrassed at the idea of forgetting plans he made with you.

“Can’t I just come surprise one of my friends with the pleasure of my company?” This makes him laugh as he pulls you in for a hug.

“Wayne’s gonna be pissed he missed you.” He mumbles into your hair as you wrap your arms around him to make the hug last a few moments longer. “Wanna come inside or did you need to finish the conversation you were having with yourself first?” He teases as he pulls away allowing him to see you roll your eyes.

“Actually there is something I’d like to say before we go in.” Eddie just nods in response as you drop your arms from around him and take a step backwards making him raise an eyebrow. “Uhm well,” you clear your throat as you reach into your vest pocket and pull out the ring box. “So today is uh Leap Day and I’m not sure if you know this but in Ireland it’s a day that-”

“What’s that? What are you doing?”

“Don’t interrupt please.” You state as you slowly get down on one knee in front of Eddie making his eyes go as wide as they can without being painful. “Uh so like I was saying today women are uhm allowed to propose to their boyfriends or whomever it’s a tradition so I figured I’d take this as an opportunity to tell you that I’m in love with you.” You let out a shaky breath as you finally look up at Eddie with the ring box open in your hands. “I’ve loved you for a while now…I can tell you the exact moment if you want? It was last year when we went to see the new Scream movie and you held my hand the whole time and fed me popcorn because I was too afraid to open my eyes…that sounds dumb saying it out loud but that’s just when I knew the feeling in my chest wasn’t going away and it wasn’t just a crush because you’re cute and nice it was…something more and I know this is an absurd thing to ask because we haven’t even been on a date or discussed how we feel about each other…but I was just wondering if you’d maybe wanna marry me?” Yours hands are shaking as you reach your arms out so he can get a better look at the shiny gold band inside the old beat up box.

“Holy shit.” Is all he can say as he looks at the ring and then looks at you and that’s the moment he watches your eyes get glossy as they fill with tears. “I uhm-”

“I’m such an idiot.” Your words are rushed as you lowers your arms and stand up. “I’m sorry just act like this didn’t happen.” You close the ring box but before you can put it back in your pocket and turn away you feel a hand on your wrist.

“I’ll marry you.” Your mouth drops open as Eddie gently takes the box out of your trembling hands. “I’m in love with you too.” You look up at him as he looks down at the ring in the box. “I uh have loved you ever since you spilled ice cream in the back of my van last summer and somehow in the process of cleaning it you just made it worst and it still smells like mint mixed with bleach when it gets hot.” You smile at the memory because he just spent the whole time laughing at your sad attempts to clean the mess. “I’ve always known you were perfect for me because you’re awesomely weird and I know you’re a little quirky but I never imagined you to be the getting on one knee on my front porch asking me to marry you because of an Irish tradition kinda quirky but…I love it….I love you.”You feel the tears running down your face as Eddie hands you the gold band and places the ring box in the back pocket of his jeans.

“You’ll marry me?” You ask making Eddie just chuckle as he nods his head. “Like for real? Or are you just saying that so I’ll stop crying because honestly I’m not sure when these tears are going to stop so you can say no if you want.”Eddie playfully rolls his eyes as he gently places both hands on your cheeks so he can cup your face and before another word can come out of your mouth his lips are on yours in a sweet kiss.

“This is the part where you put the ring on my finger.” He jokes as he pulls away and drops his right hand from your face. You smile and sniffle a little bit as you slowly slide the gold band onto his ring finger.

“Does this mean you take my last name?” Eddie just laughs as he pulls you in for another kiss but this time you wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer to you.

his BITE is reserved for: his lover, his marks ( animal ) !! i've mentioned it many times over ( 💤 ) and, while may seem prudish, let it be known that astarion takes much pride in being capable of hunting his own 'meals'. he doesn't look to friends for sustenance. he also doesn't want pity about his condition. he is independent. he keeps a special flask on him with reserves from his latest kill ♥

The Case of the Lover's Leap....

Tired of listening to this woman lie, Perry is relentless in his redirect. He breaks her down, piece by piece, until she can't take it anymore.

The judge allows a recess for her to get her emotions under control and to sober up from the many, many tranquilizers that she took in an attempt to remain calm in the courtroom. As you can see, it didn't work out very well for her. Hamilton admits that Perry accomplished what he couldn't do in three days in one cross examination in court.

Then, Perry and Hamilton join forces to find the truth. And find the truth they do!! I love those guys!! 😁😍

The police break into the room just in time to prevent another murder and arrest the guilty party!! Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!! Oh wait, that's another show for another post 😉😁

Anna had quite an eventful, soggy trip to Ireland and didn't even manage to make it to Dublin, landing in the middle of nowhere, only to be greeted by Declan, the most unwelcoming, obnoxious, surly, sarky pub landlord in the land.

He also has a complete downer on Dublin (it's full of cheats) and wouldn't take Anna there for... 500 Euros.

This nicely sets up romcom trope no 1, "Enemies to Lovers" ✅️

However, I forgive Declan. He might be a grumpy sod but these green eyes, wild curls and the pen chewing are oof. Yes, I am shallow.

Leap Year Day Evening 📸

[catboy-jaebeom]

yk, honestly ? Tom giving Addison reassurance, telling her he trusts her ? not dismissing her former lover and her complicated feelings about her former lover's re-emergence ? being secure enough in what they have to have her stay on the project because she wants to ?

mature, healthy relationships in my TV show ?? it's more likely than you'd think !

Lover’s Leap Lookout - Stuart Virginia

[blissfulalchemist]

It’s almost November! Time for a fresh round of OC questions. For two kiddos of your choice:

They’re invited to an ugly-sweater party. What sweater are they wearing?

Would they rather go to a pumpkin patch or pick apples? Are they the type to bake pies with what they collect?

They’re caught unexpectedly under the mistletoe… with their crush. What do they do?

Ahhh Thank you Cam! Think I'm just gonna do Conner and Alma since they've been on the mind.

They’re invited to an ugly-sweater party. What sweater are they wearing?

Conner: Now see here's the thing this is a man that is wearing vintage sweater vests unironically. Like he has plenty of sweaters that could work based on patterns alone. He also finds it cheating if you use the sweaters made to be "ugly" like it defeats the purpose in his eyes. So for him its all about getting the thing most opposite of himself and it would be something like below

Like on their own they are okay sweaters, he just is unable to pull them off therefore creating that "ugly" aspect.

Alma: Now this has to be like a modern au situation because its just not a thing in ff. So with that in mind Alma would see the name of the party and not think to go for the more commercial and stereotypical version of an ugly sweater. So she's showin up in sweaters like below while everyone else is in the funny ones (though I suspect Clive would also be in the same boat in having something simpler that he just doesn't like style wise, something with like a plain background a single train).

Like they very much fit the rules to her but not to everyone else, well maybe the second one, but she's not in tune with what people had in mind really and even still only picked one of these because she had help from Joshua. (She and Clive can be on the same wavelength in terms of ideas so if not for intervention she'd also be in a simple sweater with like a picture of a cat on it)

Would they rather go to a pumpkin patch or pick apples? Are they the type to bake pies with what they collect?

That's what I have to say Cam! Why can't they be at a combo pumpkin patch apple tree farm? For both Alma and Conner you'd have to make a trip to both, they can't pick. Alma loves to forage and is very particular about ingredients so she likes the idea that for once no one can get annoyed with her. Conner just likes the chill atmosphere and is also someone that is a gardener so he's off talking to the farmers and asking questions. Ingredients picked will be used for cooking and pies. Conner has the bigger sweet tooth but he's not the best at baking/cooking, but he's got others that can make them, he's also carving the pumpkins because why not. Alma is a much more savory cook and while capable of making pies, they aren't gonna look pretty in the slightest. But she is using every part of that pumpkin for soups, the roasted seeds, pies, and healing tonics and things like hiding the occasional carrots for joshua. The apples will be used for juice, ciders, general eating, and desserts. But yeah take them to both and they will be happy campers.

They’re caught unexpectedly under the mistletoe… with their crush. What do they do?

Conner: Okay in og verse this is 100% a thing that's happened with Tia when they were both with the Alchemists and given that he very much would blush and duck away to avoid kissing her. She'd joke to start off with the first few times it happened but as her feelings grew she would, if they were alone, try and go for the kiss. Conner though couldn't ever go through with it for multiple reasons and so yeah he'd have to come up with some excuse or act disgusted at the thought of being that close to her. So very sad times there. Now for the sake of argument let's say that it is a thing among the Ancients in ffxiv, it would vary on where the mistletoe is for the reaction. If its in the convocation building then its a laugh with Elidibus and a whole "Nah that's super unprofessional, in fact we should move that out of here.". If its outside of work then there's more inclination to try and kiss him if they haven't already, should there be no one around. Conner just doesn't kiss and tell, so he's not gonna make a move unless it feels safe enough to do so.

Alma: Again for sake of argument if this was a thing that's done then both she and Joshua are blushing and like awkwardly laughing and trying to hide the feelings that are so clearly there. It would take a few times of getting caught under it for the two to just humor the idea and get close before Joshua pulls away first, determining it to be a silly notion and there's other things going on and happening and all that jazz. But if this was a nice universe then it would be ending in a kiss and the two still avoiding one another for a few days after because both kind of have this idea that the other isn't into them in the same way kind of thing.
