Naff cooking some delcious dishes, yet again.

He would be the best weighted and heated blanket

Why did I gve him big fangs? bc it looks cool. Why did I make his humanoid form look like an aristocrat vampire? bc I like it, plus the image of a very well dressed and put together demon standing in a desheveled hut made out of an old ship is funny.

i know that i most definitely have my yaoi goggles on but after watching red one (2024), did anyone think that callum drift was in love with santa claus and just was not able to admit that to himself? this has been on my mind since seeing the film and especially now after rewatching it. like "come back to me nick"? who does he think he's fooling?

From the beginning of the final season we knew they're gonna elope eventually but we're still so lucky we got to see them in their beautiful wedding dresses even just for a moment ✨✨

Tales from the Isles- Payment

"...and then the next thing I knew, I woke up out at the crossroads outside town."

The bartender's face was hard to read behind his golden sunglasses- he simply listened, as it was his job to, to the sorry tale the newcomer regaled him with. Cardia Cove got many newcomers like this, and this Bounsweet girl was no different. "And I don't even know what's with these clothes! I'd never wear something like this....I feel like a doll someone's playing dressup with." To further express her dismay, she picked at the frilly pink and white dress she was wearing. She easily stood at under half his size- she was lucky she wasn't tiny like his baristas were.

"Guess nobody gave you the lowdown, huh? Welcome to Isle Devora, babe. You're a pokemon now, and there's no way out."

Mora's been over this more times than they can count now, but it's a job they don't mind doing outside of bartending. They remember what it's like to be the new kid on the block- they wished then someone would've explained it to them, so they're more than happy to pay it forward now. She looked upset, as expected. Anyone would be after learning that you were randomly abducted to an island in the middle of nowhere that nobody could leave, and also you got turned into some kind of poke-person.

"Aw, chin up doll...see, there's the Explorer's Guild about two streets over that's lookin' into finding a way to escape through the mystery dungeons. They always need helpin' hands- why don't you join 'em and look for a way home yourself? That can't hurt."

The woman looked a bit reluctant, but she nodded. She had no other options at the current, and a source of income that doubled as a chance to get home would be nice. "I'll...think about it, it does sound like a good idea. Staying at this hotel is free, right...? I didn't come here with any money..."

"No money? Well that won't do at all...see, you gotta pay for that drink, dig?" A few emotions flashed across her face. Horror, shame, and embarrassment at the situation at hand. "O-oh, I'm so sorry...! I wasn't even thinking, I was so distraught and...could I maybe help out around here and pay that off somehow?"

"Oh, sure sure. Think I know just the right job for you, too..." It was a good thing then, that she couldn't see the look in his golden eyes. He had carefully kept a major part of the island's culture from her- it was one she would experience sooner or later, and he was one of the safer options out there. Plus, it was nearing time for a lunch break...

He motioned for her to follow him into the kitchen, and she obliged with a soft "Thank you for this". With the door closed (and his tiny eavesdroppers mostly shooed out) he turned to her with a smile. "You can help with lunch, alright? Just sit tight and I'll guide you through it." With a shy nod, he approached her...and with a swift movement, hoisted her up and shoved her head into his maw.

Before she knew it, the only thing she was being guided through was his throat. A fresh, tropical flavor lingered on his tongue; these folk were known for their almost intoxicating flavor and he had always wanted to try one for himself. The dress was a bit annoying to get down, but ol' Mora's had way feistier meals than this. Hungry and quick gulps ushered the newcomer to their new resting place- a stomach that glittered like a hoard of treasure, with what seemed like liquid gold starting to seep into her dress.

"Oh yeah, forgot to tell you this sweetheart..." They paused to burp quietly, noting that the flavor still lingered in his mouth. "On this island here...it's eat or be eaten, literally. You won't really die, don't worry...but someone like you is gonna have to deal with this pretty often, I'd say."

Mora sauntered back to the bar while his prey kicked up a fuss, though the sounds of his stomach grumbling and sloshing muffled most of her protests. She'll be fine, he typically didn't digest...but she was in for a long shift, and the bulge she made was easily hidden beneath the bar counter.

Mora For Your Thoughts?

Zhongli is always interested in what you have to say, no matter what it is.

★彡penny for your thoughts, zhongli edition.

"Mora for your thoughts?"

You smile up at your husband, whose question has pulled you out of your midday reverie. Zhongli sets the tea tray he’s been holding on the table, settles beside you on the couch with a tender smile and kisses your cheek, eagerly awaiting your answer.

"Well," you begin, "I was wondering why cats get nine lives, but dogs don't."

Zhongli rubs his chin thoughtfully. "A fascinating question. In fact, I seem to recall a story from centuries past that tells the story of a cat and his dog companion, and how they once compete for immortality." He pauses, knowing that the story will take all evening to narrate - which he will only do if you're fine with it.

You rest your head on his shoulder, knowing full well that any story from Zhongli's internal archives is bound to be a treat. "Go on." There is tea, and there is time.

******

"Mora for your thoughts?"

Sitting by the windowsill, you keep your gaze upon the clear sapphire sky up above. "I was just wondering what it would feel like to soar in the sky, unfettered by the troubles of the world below."

Zhongli hums. "If I weren't living strictly as a mortal, I would love to let you ride on my back across the skies."

You turn to him, a big smile on your face. "Wow, really? In your dragon form?"

"Of course, dearest. Though I doubt that would be possible at present, but perhaps one day." He, too, now looks up into the blue, blue sky.

You shake your head. "It's the thought that counts! Just imagining it makes my heart race! I've always wanted to ride you - I...I mean ride on your back while you're in dragon form..."

Zhongli throws his head back and laughs, a pleasant, rumbling baritone that never fails to make butterflies erupt within you. With golden eyes full of mirth, he says, "For now, I shall regale you with descriptions of the sky and clouds from my own experiences. Would you like that?"

"Yes please! Tell me all there is to see and experience alongside the loftiest birds!"

And thus, your husband kisses your forehead and begins to narrate his skyward anecdotes, each description more vivid than the last, until it feels like you are up there in the skies atop a draconic Zhongli, feeling the wind race across your face and the clouds split into tendrils like cotton.

******

You narrow your eyes down at the book you're reading, utterly displeased with the direction the author's taking. Though you suppose it's to be expected of a run-of-the-mill romance... still, you sigh and look up from the novel, finding Zhongli's own inquisitive gaze upon you. He is reading a book as well, but for now chooses instead to focus on his beloved.

"Mora for your thoughts?"

You smile at the fondly familiar question. "I just find it frustrating how, in the novel I'm reading, the main character is more attracted to the man with anger issues and a drinking problem, rather than the level-headed and genuinely kind man."

"Ah, a case of second-lead syndrome, hm?"

"Yup," you affirm, and then sigh again, "it wouldn't be so bad if the romance scenes were at least well-written. None of them seem romantically-charged at all. It's frustrating. There's so many things the author could have done..."

"Is that so?" Zhongli sets aside his book, his eyes carefully trained on you. "Have you any suggestions?"

It's an innocuous question, so you answer without hesitating. "They could've had a scene where they were pressed together in a tight space, or had to share a single bed at a busy inn...and their kissing scenes are drier than the Desert of Hadramaveth! I would've liked it if their kisses had both passion and tenderness."

A soft chuckle, and Zhongli is now cupping your cheek. You lean into his touch contentedly as his thumb draws soothing circles along your cheek. "Shall we enact your romantic fantasies and make them a reality?"

Saying this, your husband kisses you, equal parts tender and passionate. What follows makes sure you know firsthand that what you two have is miles more powerful than words in the pages of a book.

Maeve: *pointing between Fenrys & Connall* You two remind me of me and my sisters… We used to fight all the time… Mora would say I’m brainwashing her, I’d accuse them of trying to let my demon-ex-husband in to kidnap me, Mab would accuse me of trying to stab her… ya know sister stuff? *laughs*

Connall: *just nod along*

Maeve: Trust me, if I wanted to stab her, that skank be stabbed.

Fenrys: *mouths at camera* oh my gods, did she kill her?👀
