“You can kiss me, you know” for Mix and Daeran from the nsfw starters!

OMG thank you so much for the ask, and this is such a good one for them, forcing me to write their first kiss 👀👀

This takes place during the party in Heaven's Edge after spilling wine on the poor guy but before witnessing any memories - it's an option for part of a fic I intend to write and yay now I've gotten started on it!! Not sure if this will remain how their first kiss canonically happens. I may tweak the time and place or just the details of course. But here's the first draft now heheheh.

"- then I ended up here."

Mix and Daeran sat on the bed in silence, both motionless. Daeran absorbed his story, unwitting that the gossip of his own percolated in the elf's mind as well.

After a few long minutes, Mix turned his gaze cautiously to the aasimar. He startled at the sight of bright green eyes already on him - soft, longing, pleading, expectant. Holding so much back. "I feel for you," they both screamed to each other in silence. One out of a carnal fear of getting too close, the other a similar fear but much less literal.

Mix shifted to lean on his arm, facing Daeran. He cautiously reached out and rested his hand on Daeran's comfortingly - a small gesture which was returned by intertwining fingers. Mix blushed and stroked Daeran's hand with his thumb.

"Thanks for listening," Mix whispered. Daeran nodded, lost in thought as his other hand rose and began caressing his own clavicle, seemingly idly. Mix watched the movements, biting his lip. His eyebrows furrowed as his longing took the form of something more physical. Some other way to express his need, his admiration, his empathy - without using words. Some way to feel closer without the risk.

Daeran must have read his mind. His eyes darted to Mix's and a savoring smile crept on his face.

"You can kiss me, you know." The words fell from Daeran's lips draped in molten gold. Welcoming Mix to do what he had only dreamed of until now. Daeran's lips were inviting, calm yet laced with anticipation. Mix's breath stopped and he found his hand squeezing Daeran's. His other hand wrapped around his neck, pulling their bodies closer.

Daeran's lips felt soft and malleable as Mix's pressed against them. His fingers pressed into Daeran's hair, gathering it in the gaps between his fingers. Inhaling him, tasting him, leaning fully into him. They collapsed together into the bed as Mix's hand lowered to his hip, gripping it cautiously yet hungrily.

Fic authors self recommendations! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤️

Pastelle! This is incredibly sweet and I've loved seeing everyone talking about their own fics and everything!

I actually have none that are up and in the world. Hopefully that will change soon! As I'm working on some things. But! Since I have none to share I'll spread the love a different way!

I follow many lovely writers! Who I'll link to their pages here! Which I'm including you here Pastelle. I'm slowly catching up with my back log and I love Hilde and Arue with my whole heart. At first I added little gush text per fic but that made this post far too long! Just know I adore your oc's and your ships! If I forgot anyone I'm so sorry. The heat here is truly unbearable lately

Hm. Actually, I like the idea of Daeran being a trans man who's fully transitioned via Serum of Sex Shift. I think I am going to adopt that headcanon, thanks @rollofleaf.

Thanks for the tag @dragonologist-phd and @arendaes! 💕💕

“I don’t manipulate people. I just get them to reconsider what’s in their best interest.”

“The Queen gave me the reins, so I’m pulling them where I damn well please, and so far it’s been working. Tieflings want to join the Crusade? Fine, I have no problem with tieflings. I even rather like some of them. The troops want a barrel of ale and a victory party? I’ll be right there throwing up alongside them. An army of bards? That sounds good to me. Let the Abyss tremble before our mighty lutes. We took back Drezen. And that’s just the beginning.”

“What, stand back and sing rousing songs while the rest of you fight?”

“I mean collecting stories about degenerate aristocrats is our national sport.”

“Welcome to Drezen. Brand new city, ripe with opportunity.” Siavash surveyed the stinking heaps of rubble and demonic graffiti proudly. “Don’t mind the mess.”

“If I knight you, you can’t eat Crusaders. There aren’t many rules, but that’s one I’m sticking to. And you especially can’t eat Woljif.”

“I don’t think anyone in my whole life has ever accused me of being someone they can count on. But my heart’s in it, for what that’s worth.”

“And you know what bothers me too, is that mortals seem to be nothing but fuel to the machine. Just as Areelu snatched me from my crib for her experiments, we’re nothing but tools to a heartless universe, indifferent to our suffering.”

“Spend it. Wine, good food, nice clothes, new guitar strings. More oranges, if I’m lucky. Don’t need much more than that and the wind at my back.”

“You traded your copper coins for gold.”

“We’re committed. No need to kill the mood with priests and vows.”

“I won’t abandon my people. And my dragon.”

“Trust me. My crusade friends will be there and I may not look like much but I have, in fact, obliterated a couple demons in my day.”

“All right. Sounds like fun.”

“It’ll be fine.”

Snips below the cut! Just from various things I am sloooooowly working on.

1.

"The boats on the shore will take you anywhere, if you've got the coin for it," Eva says instead. "And you've got the right pass." She pins Evaethi down with a golden stare and then moves the map slightly, just enough to show a flash of the paper underneath, the grooves where a stamp had pressed into the paper.

Evaethi is still connecting the dots between Eva's words and the stamp when Eva places a careful hand on Evaethi's wrist. The skin is cool, slightly clammy and unpleasant. "Wouldn't it be nice," she whispers, "If we never had to see Master again? If we could go do whatever we wanted?"

--

2.

"She was a child," Sparrow repeats. "One desperate for her father's love, and who never received it. Her greatest crime was thoughtlessness, not malice." She draws herself up and gives Daeran a smile she hopes looks genuine. "And if she hadn't run away, I likely never would have gone to Kenabres. So in a way, she is responsible for our meeting."

Daeran lets out a beleaguered sigh, but the frigid lines of anger have finally melted. "Yes, well. I don't enjoy this woman in our house, but it's certainly not my place to forgive her. I do hope she has grown up since your last meeting."

--

3.

"It is my pleasure," he says, and turns his wizened gaze to Daeran. Daeran has to suppress a shiver from its intensity. His eyes are the clear blue of a cloudless day, shining ever so slightly with a light Daeran instinctively understands as divine--years channeling god-given power lingers even if he likely no longer wields a sword--and the gaze seems to peer right through him, to the rotten core infested with worms.

But he must not be using it, or he's attributing to the shadowy mass of hunger that watches Daeran to the shadows of grief: Sir Lant's expression holds nothing but cloying pity. "I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother," he tells Daeran, "but everyone in Mendev knew that a truer heart and a kinder soul didn't exist. Her contributions to the Crusade's cause and the church cannot be overstated. The world is poorer for her loss--but I hope I can help guide you to growing into the kind of man who would do her memory proud."

Sparrow's eyes widen and then--it's like watching a turtle retreat into its shell. The bright fury pulls back, closes down, her face smoothing into complete neutrality. If he hadn't just been watching her, Daeran would have sworn the emotion had never been there at all. It really is quite a feat; he can't think of anyone, noble or common born, who can seal away such passionate expressions so completely.

"I should go," Sparrow says, turning away and truncating the conversation. She directs her next words to the group as a whole. "We have a long day ahead of us, and we need our rest. Lann, I'll take second watch if you take first." And she walks away, stiff and lifeless once more, leaving Daeran with the fading electricity and the still-dirty pots.

Daeran sighs and returns his attention back to the dishes. The woman he was arguing with is gone--the emotionless, lackluster leader has made her unwelcome return.

He wonders what he can do to make her become that person again.

--

5. (very mildly nsfw)

The skin on Sparrow's stomach was deeply sensitive, and Daeran's hand pressed against it was a shock of sensation that flashed through her body, settling between her legs. She could barely breathe; she felt like a half-feral animal dragged into the light, skinless and exposed, flinching at every movement. It was so much already, overwhelming in a way she'd never experienced before. If this was how she was going to react something as simple as a palm under her ribcage, how was she going to handle anything when she finished undressing?

Daeran sensed it too, she could tell. The warmth at her back receded as Daeran pulled away, his touch lifting; before he could fully retreat, she grabbed his hand, pressing it back to her torso.

"I just need a moment." Her voice was low, raspy, intimate in the heavy half-dark of the room.

6.

It worked for Isore's purposes in this case. Depending on how good the intel of the incoming Hellknights was, they would arrive anywhere from the next few hours to dusk, and Isore needed to not be present when they arrived. He dipped the encoded notice into the brazier, letting the smolders of last night's fires catch it alight before he dropped it among the coals. Then he grabbed a piece of scratch paper only half-full of equations that were useful days ago and penned a quick missive: Gone to market. Don't expect me until nightfall.

Silaena won, her queen grabbing the checkmate, but she could tell he had let her. When he finally placed his king sideways, he spoke again. "It will be difficult to convince your father."

"He never actually disowned me," Silaena pointed out, the statement sticking a little in her throat. It had been a nasty surprise, even if it had worked in her favor; like he had known she would come crawling back one way or the other. "And I think once he knows what I am bringing to the table, he will eventually back down. There's nothing he wants more than for his direct line to keep Heaven's Edge. I'll give him that even if I give him not one other thing as long as I live."

Kingmaker/TTRPG Pokémon AU from @rollofleaf's post here x ⚰️

In truth, Orson strikes me as a late-game gym leader with a converted castle for a gym. He put in extra work to rank highly in the league so he would have to face less trainers overall. He gets followed by ghost pokémon a lot, to the concern of those around him.

Aside from his stoicism, Orson is a family man who still matches his outfits to his team. He often loses battles to his wife, who is a far more competitive dark-type trainer.

Six Sentence Wednesday

Since @rollofleaf gave me a tag, why not?

Decided to crack out an Arcane/Command & Conquer (Tiberium) crossover idea I had been picking away at which ended up on hold due to Owlcatober. It seems particularly appropriate in light of the new Arcane trailer that dropped today.

This is from a part of it I call 'Reverse Cannery' in my notes.

And time to hate, Vi realized as she knew what she would have done in their place had GDI taken Vander instead of Nod. No - the easy route would just write them off. They would rightly feel persecuted even with fair treatment, and when they got out they would march right into the land of Nod. There was only one way that they would not end up making the same mistakes Vi had. “Cait, put the gun down.” Caitlyn glanced at her, but nodded once before complying.
