Ooh 14!!! For the prompt :)
Ohhhhh, thank you so much. â„
And I'm sorry, this turned out so fucking stupid and silly.
---
14. âNo oneâs ever⊠for you before?â âNever.â ~ Lestappen
It comes up in a completely random conversation that actually has nothing at all to do with the topic.
It's the night following the Japanese Grand Prix 2023, and Charles is sitting in the lounge of the incredibly fancy hotel Ferrari and several of the others teams are staying in for their stint at Suzuka. He's nursing a beer, leaning back into the incredibly soft and comfortable chair he's been occupying for the past hour and a half.
To his right, Carlos, Lando and Oscar are sprawled out on one couch, while Pierre, Esteban, Alex and Checo are occupying a more reasonable amount of space each on the couch to Charles' left.
There's a long, low table between all of them and directly across from Charles, at the other end of said table, Max is sprawled out in a chair identical to Charles' own. He has one leg hanging over one arm of the chair and he's balancing his bottle of beer on the thigh of his other leg, which is stretched out on the floor.
He looks almost obscenely comfortable, Charles thinks to himself, and then immediately pretends like that thought never popped up in his head.
They're talking about the race and their plans for the coming week off before the race in Qatar at the beginning of October, when Lando suddenly looks at Max.
"Hey, your birthday is this coming week, right?" the McLaren driver asks, sitting up a little straighter in his seat.
Max nods as he takes a swig of his beer.
"Saturday," the Dutchman confirms casually, as if it's nothing special.
Given how their birthdays are only 16 days apart, Charles knows very well when Max's birthday is. But, it hadn't registered in his brain that Max's birthday - and his own, he might add - are actually just around the corner.
"Do you have any big plans?" Charles asks, and the rest of their group now has their attention locked on Max, who shrugs.
"Not really. Daniel is trying to convince me to let him host another one of his ridiculous parties, but I'm honestly still traumatized from last year."
There's a collective mutter of agreement at that, as every driver sitting around this table remembers Max's birthday party from last year. There had been an obscene amount of suspicious-looking jello shots that Daniel had been weirdly insistent on serving all night, a broken glass table, and a very angry goose who had chased Lando into the pool and then disappeared off into the night.
To this day, nobody knows â or will admit to knowing â where the goose came from.
(The goose had been found safe and sound the following morning, and returned to its flock.)
Lando visibly shudders, as if the memory still haunts him.
"So, just a simple celebration with breakfast in bed, then?" Oscar suggests.
Something crosses Max's face at that, but only briefly. Max is schooling his expression into something unbothered mere moments later, assuming nobody noticed. "Something like that."
Charles, however, does notice, but he doesn't ask because Lando is already moving on to the next topic that catches his interest, which just so happens to be anime. And Charles decides to nope the fuck out of that conversation before it even starts.
Max seems to have the same idea, pushing himself upright and getting to his feet. "Anyone want something more to drink?" he asks, taking note of the number of raised hands before disappearing in the direction of the bar.
"I'll help," Charles says as he scrambles to get out his chair and half-jogs to catch up with Max.
They stand at the bar, waiting for the bartender to get their drinks ready, Max leaning his forearms on the bar top and drumming his fingers slowly against the mahogany. Charles is standing next to him, with his back towards the bar.
"What's with the breakfast in bed thing?" the Monégasque asks casually.
"What?" Max responds, and Charles can feel those blue eyes on him.
"Back there," Charles says, nodding in the direction of their group. "When Oscar asked about you celebrating at home with breakfast in bed, your face did a thing."
The word is emphasized by a vague hand gesture in the air.
Max raises an eyebrow at him. "My face did a thing?" he echoes, snorting.
Charles rolls his eyes.
"Yes, your face did a thing. Like the mention of it bothered you," Charles tells him, turning his head so he can look at Max. He narrows his eyes at the Dutchman. "You're not one of those psychos who doesn't like getting breakfast served in bed on your birthday, are you?"
Max barks a surprised laugh, which makes Charles smile, and his heart do a little flutter in his chest.
Which, okay, he kind of thought he'd successfully pushed his feelings for Max far enough down that he could ignore them altogether, but that apparently doesn't apply when Max laughs.
Damn Max Verstappen and his stupid, gorgeous laugh.
The sound dies down quickly, though, and Max's expression shifts into something more sombre. Almost sad.
"I've just never actually had anyone serve me breakfast in bed on my birthday before. Or at any other time, for that matter," he admits, voice a little more quiet than before.
Charles gapes at him. "What? Sure you have."
Max shrugs for what seems like the millionth time that night.
"My exes have all been vocally opposed to any food items in bed," he explains, frowning a little. "And my father never believed birthdays were worth celebrating, because a birthday is not a victory."
It's Charles' turn to frown, then.
"What about your mom?" he asks carefully.
"Like I said, my dad didn't believe birthdays were worth celebrating. He didn't exactly give my mom much of a chance to argue with him," Max explains, as if that's normal. As if that's healthy.
"So, no one's ever served you breakfast in bed on your birthday before?"
"Never."
That should not break Charles' heart the way it does.
Their conversation comes to an end when the bartender puts the last of their drinks on the counter in front of them, and Max grabs half of the bottles.
"Come on, if we don't go back soon, Lando will start a riot," Max tells him, the seriousness of the moment seemingly forgotten.
But Charles hasn't forgotten, even as he picks up the last of the bottles and follows Max back to the others.
---
When Max opens the door at 10:15PM on Friday, September 29th, he doesn't expect to see Charles Leclerc standing on the other side with a bag full of groceries.
And yet, that's exactly the sight that greets him.
"Hi," Charles greets him as he makes his way into Max's apartment without actually waiting for Max to invite him in.
Which, rude.
"Hi?" Max asks him as he shuts the front door and locks it.
When he turns, Charles has already made it into his kitchen.
"What are you doing here?" Max asks as he joins the Monégasque in his kitchen, leaning against the door frame and watching as Charles is already in the process of unloading the groceries onto the kitchen counter.
Eggs, bacon, a wide array of different bread rolls, chocolate, and what looks like the entire baking section of the Carrefour just down the street from Max's building.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, and I am going to make you breakfast in bed," Charles announces, as if that was blatantly obvious.
Max just atares at him.
"And â," Charles continues, turning to Max and holding up a massive bag of flour in one hand, and a box of cream cheese in the other. "â I'm going to make you birthday cupcakes."
Max blinks repeatedly, as if that's going to help him understand the situation. Or make Charles disappear, because Max must be hallucinating this.
Neither of which end up happening.
"But Charles, you can't cook," is the only thing Max can think to say.
Charles would feel hurt, if Max wasn't absolutely right.
"Yeah, well, you've gone 25 years without getting breakfast in bed on your birthday and I'm not about to let that become 26. So you'll just have to shut up and settle," the Monégasque says, grinning widely at Max.
Max continues to stare at him. Charles takes that as his approval because he puts the flour and cream cheese down and starts opening cabinets and drawers to find bowls and utensils and whatever the hell else he needs to make bake cupcakes, making himself right at home.
Max is powerless to do anything but sit at the kitchen table and watch.
And even as he watches Charles almost burn down his kitchen three times in the process and the cupcakes come out burnt to a crisp on top and somehow still liquid on the bottom, Max has never felt more loved.

no one asked but this is the post that inspired this! thank u immensely for the luv <3 number 1 comment was wondering what steveâs bids were & from his pov, so without further ado...enjoy â part one here!
â
Begrudgingly, Eddie has to admit that Robin might be right.
Itâs impossible not to be looking for the bids since he brought them up to her. Even though Eddie was fully expecting to tell Robin to suck it, maybe even wager what little money he had against this working out, Eddie canât help but watch for them in every interaction. And fuck, sheâs right.
Theyâre little, but theyâre there.
The first one Eddie wouldâve missed if he wasnât looking for it. Actually, thatâs a lie; Eddie does miss it, until Robin points it out, the nosy bitch. Itâs minuscule and honestly, it just seems like Steve asking his opinion â which friends do all the time! Itâs why Eddie brushes right over it.
âOkay, be honest,â Steve had said, walking and talking as he entered the living room where Robin and Eddie were sprawled across the couches. They were both waiting on him, the three of them set on heading out to the drive-in to catch a film.
Eddie canât fathom why Steve felt the need to change his outfit for it, but when he returns, he gets it. Itâs not quite the usual polo Eddie had grown to like on Steve, this one hanging a little looser, the colour a bit darker than Steveâs usual choice, the sleeves a little shorter â almost midway to a muscle tee.
Steveâs fingers fiddle with the distressed collar of the shirt, smoothing invisible wrinkles and fussing over nothing. He swishes back his floppy hair with a flick of his head. âItâs a new shirt, I know itâs a little different - but what do we think?â
He says we but heâs looking at Eddie.
Eddie, who has taken to trying to reel in his gawp because what the fuck Steve? Itâs like heâs well aware of what drives Eddie insane and has specifically leaned into it. Some evil goblin in Eddieâs brain whispers think how good heâd look in your shirt and he squashes it, giving a visible twitch to shut down that train of thought.
From the other couch, Robin clears her throat loudly and smiles sweetly at her best friend. âIt looks great, Steve.â
Itâs sincere and Steveâs mouth tugs up, nearly a smile but his gaze fast-tracks back to Eddie. Eddie nods in agreement, a bit sluggish from his distracting thoughts and god dammit, the extra exposed skin of Steveâs arms are so not helping. âYeah, looks... looks good, man.â
Steve smiles, lips pressed together but his shoulders curl in just a bit, deflating just a tad. From where Steve canât see her, Robin waves her hands wildly and catches Eddieâs attention. He watches as she gestures wildly and it takes a moment to realise whatâs she mouthing â âA bid! Thatâs a bid, you idiot!â
Oh fuck, Eddie thinks. Cos it totally was; the question, the focus on Eddie. He doesnât even think about the logistics of it, of the fact Robin was right, just jumps right into picking up the bid.
âYou trying a new style?â Eddie asks and then thanks whatever god invented the whole fake-it-to-you-make-it schtick because heâs feeling so far from casual or confident. âGoing metal on me, big boy?â
Eddie just manages to catch the grin that breaks across Steveâs face as he turns away, giving a scoff â it comes out too soft though, giving away his complete lack of annoyance. He pulls that usual Steve Harrington pose, hands sliding onto his hips, and screws his face into some melted smiley-grimace. âShut up, Munson.â
Eddie grins and goads on the blush thatâs beginning on Steveâs neck, a glorious tinged pink colour. âIf this shirt is any indication, youâd pull it off just fine.â
Eddie watches the blush climb higher as Steve ignores the comment, his smile still giving him away. He grabs his coat and pats down his jeans â ridiculous tight acid wash jeans that Eddie hates heâs somehow become attracted to â ensuring he has his keys and wallet. Once assured, he looks up at his two friends again, brows raised, and says, âReady to rock and roll?â
That comment alone has Eddie seriously reconsidering his type in men.
Thereâs only a brief moment to talk about it when Eddie and Robin cajole Steve into going and getting them both popcorn to get a moment alone. Steve had scoffed, face twitching in the way it did whenever he tried to hold back a bitchy comment, but he still stomped off in the direction of the snack stand.
The moment heâs out of earshot, both voices explode in the back of Eddieâs van.
âWhat did I sayââ
âJesus H Christ, you were rightââ
âLiterally how many times do I haveââ
âOh my god, you were rightââ
â âbefore you realise Iâm alwaysââ
âRobin.â He cuts her off, hands landing on her shoulders. Robin eyes them warily, lips still parted from how her rant had been cut off. âRobin, Iâm gonna kill you.â
âWhat?â Robinâs nose scrunches up. âWhat the hell are youââ
âOh Christ, I canât believe- how long have you noticed those bids?â Eddieâs aware he sounds a bit estranged, eyes probably wide and it doesnât help when he softly shakes Robin back and forth. She lets herself be shaken, hair flying back in forth. âI canât believe you didnât tell me! You are such a bad gay friend!â
Robin smacks his hands off her shoulders with a frown, her freckly face perturbed at Eddieâs outburst. âDude, itâs not my fault! May I remind you that until very very recently you were seeing someone else? What difference would it have made?â
Eddie waves his hand, disregarding the point with a shake of his head. His unkempt curls cover his face and Eddie sweeps them back in one motion, âWhat difference would it have made? Oh my, Jesusââ
Whatever long-winded sentence Eddie was about to spit out is lost by the sound of Steveâs approaching footsteps, effectively shutting both of them up.
Eddie flings himself to the other side of the van, putting an unusual amount of distance between Robin and him like they were being caught doing something they shouldnât.
Robin frowns at him and gestures wildly with her hands in a way that means what the fuck man? Eddie gestures back, though heâs not entirely sure what his fast hand motions are supposed to mean when Steve rounds the door.
Heâs got two buckets of popcorn tucked under each arm and Eddie quickly crosses his arms, tucking his hands into his armpits like his stupid hand motions will somehow give him away.Â
Steve looks up, stopping just a way from the edge of the van, and looks at the pair of them. His eyes track from Robin still sitting on one of the old cushions and looking two seconds from burying her face in her hands, across to Eddie. He huffs a laugh and kneels on the edge of the van.
âI know heâs gross Robin,â He begins, tone light, as he holds out one of the buckets for Robin to take. âBut câmon, is the distance really necessary?â
Robin snickers as Eddie makes an appalled noise, both of which make Steve smirk. He holds out the other for Eddie to take and Eddie snatches it, glaring at him over the buttery rim for his comment. Then takes a handful and shovels it in because he canât think of a witty comment to retaliate. Steve crawls into the van and plops himself between them with a content sigh.
âSee? Gross.â He teases, shoving his hand into Eddieâs popcorn bucket to grab a handful. Eddie scowls and chews a little faster when the flavour on his tongue seems to register in his brain.
His eyes stare at the popcorn bucket as he chews, then swallows â up the front of the van, the radio thatâs tuned into the correct frequency begins playing the opening credits song as the screen changes. Silence sweeps across the drive-in but despite the sudden hush, Eddie has no qualms about breaking it.
âSweet nâ salty flavour?â He asks Steve, only half attempting a whisper. Robin shushes him instantly, her focus already on the movie thatâs beginning. Steve smiles, looking a bit sheepish beneath the glow of the drive-in screen, but he nods.
âI know you like it.â He whispers with a small shrug of his shoulders. Like it wasnât a big deal. Fuck, Eddie thinks again and hastily feeds himself another handful of popcorn before he says anything majorly stupid in response to that, like: Oh, amazing- have you noticed the big fat crush I have on you as well?
He doesnât even need to look at Robin to know sheâs smiling, smug as ever.
â
Steve, God bless his oblivious little heart, doesnât even realise heâs doing it.
Steve likes Eddie. Eddie isâ god, Eddie is different but heâs good.
Heâs this strange amalgamation of traits that Steve canât comprehend how they fit together in one body or how Eddie manages to pull it all off completely charmingly.
Heâs loud, he says rude things, heâs fucking dorky, and far too sweet on the kids â he likes to tease Steve, and yet somehow, when Eddie calls him âpretty boyâ, Steve knows heâs not actually making fun of him.
Steve likes Eddie, likes his boyishly endearing charm, likes his touchiness towards Steve that no other boy his age is like, likes his messy curls and his âholier than thouâ attitude about metal music even though Steve doesnât get it, like at all. And fuck, Steve really wants Eddie to like him.
It reminds him faintly of when he first started working alongside Robin at Scoops. That thought tickles in the back of his mind, something along the lines of how he had wanted Robin to like him for other reasons, but he doesnât delve into it.
To Steve, itâs simple: he just wants Eddie to like him.
After the night at the drive-in, between Eddie acting strangely skittish and Robin giving more amused snorts than usual, Steve knows something is up.
He knows they must have discussed something when they sent him on popcorn duty, the bastards. He tries his best to not feel left out; god knows Robin and he have more than a dozen secrets theyâve sworn not to tell anyone but each other.
Besides, Steve trusts Robin to come and tell him if he really needs to know, even if it does worry him a bit. He bites down his anxious thoughts, even trying for a moment to see if thereâs a pattern heâs been missing.
That train of thought gets derailed when Steve recalls instead Eddieâs delightful reaction to his new shirt â that Steve definitely hadnât bought for that specific reason.
Even though Robin had given him that look when heâd first shown it to her â her bright eyes had narrowed, her smile turning a little more coy, and Steve had felt his ears get a little hotter. She hadnât said anything though, just suggested that he should wear it tomorrow night when they were going out with Eddie.
God, he was glad she suggested it.
Rewinding over Eddieâs parted lips, the way his brown eyes had drank in the details as they trailed up his body and lingered on his armsâ Steve had the sudden thought to flex the muscle, just to elicit some reaction, but it had gone out the window at Eddieâs original dismal reaction.
âYeah, looks... looks good, manâ. Said all aloof, like he hadnât really thought it. It was like bursting a balloon hidden behind Steveâs ribs, one he wasnât even aware was there until it was deflating pathetically, making his shoulders sag.
Thenâ âYou trying a new style? Going metal on me, big boy?â And dammit, itâs like Eddie had clocked exactly what calling him âbig boyâ had done the first time in the Winnebago.
Eddie had then grinned, done another once over of the new shirt, even as Steve pretended to search for his keys and wallet while saying something snarky to try to cover up the heat crawling up his neck. Yet, Steve found himself smiling too because, fuck yes, Eddie liked it too.
But, apparently, whatever Eddie and Robin had discussed wasnât considered important enough because Robin never brought it up.
The thought and worry about it melt away in Steveâs mind until the memory of that night is about Eddieâs compliment, about his cat-like grin over the popcorn bucket, and how he had leaned over to whisper every bad joke into Steveâs ear all through the movie.
Some of them had been down-right filthy jokes which Eddie only seemed to enjoy more when Steve screwed his face up and nudged Eddie in the ribs, yet unable to hide his smile.
After the third vulgar joke and subsequent nudge, Steve had chided âdudeâ with a poorly hidden grin. Eddie, smile all cheeky, had nudged him back with a âdudeâ of his own.
Which, of course, ensued a nudge competition til Robin had given a shush that librarians all over the world would be jealous of. But Steve didnât even care because he and Eddie were arm to arm, pressed close together and EddieâŠdidnât move. Stayed close, like he wanted the closeness the same way Steve did.
Steve only remembers the strange drive-in moment when Robin brings it up finally, on one interesting Saturday night.
Itâs not the usual routine; itâs not very often that the whole group gets together to share drinks and get rowdy.
But it was for Robinâs birthday and sheâd been persuasive enough to get even the introverts, like Jonathan, to come along. Though, she was aware heâd probably spend the night on a pool lounger, stoned to high heaven. Whatever floats your boat, sheâd said, happy for the company in any form.
Thereâs enough of them there that it almost resembles some sort of partyâ and makes Steve try not to think about the last small party he threw here. He can tell Nancy notices it too, eyeing the pool a bit too long in a way heâs very familiar with, then taking a swig of beer.
So, Steve heckles them inside â doing a fantastic mothering impression as he waves the group indoors with a promise of pizza, and that has both Jonathan and Argyle perking up and beginning a fast discussion on the best pizza toppings.
Eddie makes a fuss, because of course he does, and moans terribly when Steve tries to roll him off the pool lounger heâs on. Heâs had a bit of a joint and some beer, and Steveâs learned that he gets adorably stubborn after some substances.
âStevie, this is mean,â he had pouted, gripping the edges of the lounger and staring up at Steve with those big brown eyes. âYou telling me I did all that bonding with you for nothing? Canât even lounge by the pool! Iâve got a couch at homeeeee.â
Steve had sent him an amused look of disbelief, hands on his hips after his first round of flicks against Eddieâs arm were apparently fruitless to get him to move. âReally? Didnât peg you for a gold-digger, Eds.â
Eddie had snorted at that, one hand coming to slap over his mouth. Steve couldnât quite hear what he had said but the words pegging and anytime slipped through and Steve thinks he could get the gist of that.
âOh for Christâs sake,â Steve muttered, feeling the tips of his ears turn warm. He didnât know how Eddie could be such a menaceâ or why he enjoyed it so much when he was. Steve waved a hand in the direction of the doors, ignoring Eddieâs delighted snickering. âIf you go inside now, you can be on music, alright?â
And that had finally got them all indoors, Eddie whooping and skedaddling through the doors in an instant, with a call of âno take backsies!â echoing behind him.
Inside was much cozier, the whole group a little more connected when squished up on the couches together. Eddie had taken Steveâs word and was jamming a cassette into one of the speakers when Steve made it back inside after scouting around the pool for leftover cans and butts to throw out.
Heâs just been thinking about what playful jab he could make at Eddieâs music, like Eddie always did to him when Robin hollered at him from the kitchen.
âSteve!â Sheâd yelled excitedly and he come to find her quick, brows raised as he entered the kitchen. She was grinning, already a bit jumpy as she got when she had a bit of liquor â but apparently not enough because when Steve saw what sheâd called him in for, sheâd announced, âTequila shots!â
Which lead to now. A hazy combination of beer, tequila, and a bit of weed, and Steve is feeling good. Robin had managed to hijack the music not too long ago, with a hiccup of âitâs my birthdayâ that had Eddie surrendering with a pout.
Sheâd since put on a bit of everything: some Blondie for Nance, Talking Heads for Jonathan, and some Bowie, just so she and Steve could dance along to âMagic Danceâ and she could do all the silly little goblin voices that made them both cackle.
Steve realised at some point that Robin was playing their mixtape, the one sheâd made for driving in the morning, and nearly tripped stumbling over to her in his excitement. He grabbed her shoulders, not too hard, and squeezed.
âIs it- is this our mixtape?â Steve asked, words slurring only a bit. Robin gleamed, hair bouncing with her excited nod.
âYes!â She was already dancing, even though the tape was between songs â because she knew what song was coming. âItâs Springsteen time, Steve!â
Right as the drums to Born to Run filtered out the speaker.
And oh, Steve loves Robin so much. He loves having a best friend that knows his favourite song and gets jittery and excited because she knows itâs about to playâ that she put it on this mix for him.
âYouâre my best friend!â Steve says, the words bursting out like he canât control them. He doesnât even feel embarrassed, just happy, just drunk, and overwhelming happy to be able to have this.
And even though Robin knows this, she still beams, feet dancing along and just begins to sing along with the song, âIn the days, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dreamâŠâ
Itâs a brazen drunken performance from the both of them. Steveâs chest is heaving after just one chorus that heâs pretty sure he put his whole soul into and heâs so fucking happy âand it feels like pure instinct to seek out Eddie, his eyes scouring the room for him.
Eddieâs leaned up against the wall, hiding his smile behind a can and Steve doesnât think twice about itâ doesnât think about why heâs so drawn to Eddie, why he wants to include him in this happiness â just extends his hand out and grins.
Eddie sees the bid coming this time.
Part Three.

BIRD SSR????????????
NOOOO I wasted all my keys on Platinum Malleus, HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ME
(I do kinda love that this is officially "Raven Jacket" Crowley though) (does this open up the possibility of a selection of future Crowley fashion cards)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#eyestrain#(my knowledge of rave attire is very limited i am so sorry)#(to be fair i don't believe crowley knows anything about raving either)#(he's there in a misguided attempt to chaperone/make sure students don't do anything he might be legally liable for)#petition for an ssr of crowley's beach shorts and fedora#anyway i saw the banner and immediately assumed it was going to be another absolutely unhinged no-context episode 7 story card drop#and lost my MIND#and then i scrolled down and...oh it's an event whoops#alas another month without more main story#does this mean more staff cards in the future though? HEY TWST DOES THIS MEAN MORE STAFF CARDS đđđ#are they going to have stories. do we get to see crowley try once again to convince the school board not to fire him. yes PLEASE#god i have NO keys what am i going to DO#i thought i had time to save for sebek's birthday!#but...but our terrible birddad...

GORGEOUS art from @harbingersecho for my new fic for @zukkabigbang2024!
-
[Image ID: A close-up painting of Sokka and Zuko sitting on a bench in a park at night. Sokka is holding a smoking cigarette and Zuko is holding a beer. They're looking at each other and smiling. /. End ID]
-
how it feels to have a heartbeat
He lit a cigarette with his fingertip and took a drag, leaning hard against the pillar behind him, sliding down into a squat, glad the sidewalk was mostly empty. He sat like that for a while, lost in thought, just appreciating the silence, until he felt a tap on his shoulder. He twisted around and looked up at the man standing there. âSorry to bother you. You wouldnât have a lighter by any chance, would you?â the man said. Zuko stood up, turning to face the man fully. He felt suddenly lightheaded from standing too abruptly and reached out to steady himself against the concrete beside him, managing to reach out a flame-tipped finger with his other hand. âThanks,â the man said, leaning in slightly to light the tip of his cigarette, eyes locked with Zukoâs the whole time. Zuko stared dumbly. Heâd never seen anyone before who looked quite like this guy. He wouldnât have taken him as a local, yet his accent told Zuko that he likely was. He had the clearest blue eyes Zuko had ever seen. He could hardly look away. âI, uhâŠâ
Modern meets meet cute meets magical realism in a love letter to Taipei told by Zukka.
#i am SO happy its here this has been my baby!!!!!#LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS ART I AM BEYOND HAPPY!!!!#zukka big bang 2024#zukka#fanfic#hifthah#im super excited to hear feedback and work on the final two chapters#mine#fanart#which is not mine lol#atla#these tags are all over the place im sorry its been a terrible fibro day#greatest hits#100
