#brie's masterpost

[briefhottubcoffee]

Hello! I figured it was time to make a master-post of all my writings and such. Thank you to all my new followers! I am always available if you'd like to talk spyxfamily theories, headcanons, fic ideas, etc., or if you'd just like someone to chat with. I am honored to be a small part of this amazing and talented fandom! I made a personal goal to write and gain confidence with it, and to make some fandom friends. So thank you for making this an enjoyable journey so far! 💛💐

My Fics:

~ For you, I can't contain my love: an ongoing multi-chapter fic centered on Loid and Yor going at it in semi-public places. I'm having a ton of fun writing it, and I keep thinking of random places they should bang at. 😅There's four chapters so far! Updated sporadically. Obviously NSFW.

~ If I kiss you now, will I come undone?: my version of events that take place after chapter 79. The one where Yor comes home drunk and tries to get a welcome home kiss.

~ Those who can't love: I think about Loid and Yor and their complicated feelings as they fall in love about, oh I'd say.. 500 times a day. So I wrote a fic about it!

~ Warm in their arms: a while ago I was sick in the hospital and a very kind person made this artwork to cheer me up. This fic tells that story, poor Anya is sick and needs her parents love and comfort.

~ Exposure: a short one-shot of Loid confessing to Yor after they find out each others secrets. It's probably my favorite fic I've written so far. Loid is very vulnerable here, and I love making my sweet boy a sensitive cry baby over his wife. 😇

~ Help me, I'm in love: I had so much fun writing this fic about Franky asking for dating advice from the Forgers. Yup! Loid, Yor, and Anya give out dating tips.

~ I'm a wallflower, watching you be: this fic is literally just Yor and Loid watching the other get ready for the day and being horny about it. I was inspired by a great fanart reminding us of Yor's affinity for sharp objects.

~ Pining: a short drabble (under 500 words) about Loid pining for Yor. And I mean PINING. Again, I love when Loid goes through it because of his wife.

~ The in-between: another short and sweet fic about how much Yor loves laying around with her husband and listening to him talk. So sweet I'm gonna barf.

~ Refrigerator Magnets: my very first fanfic ever was a silly story about Anya and Loid finding animal magnets and the family adventures linked to what they tack on the fridge.

My Meta Posts:

~ Twilight/Loid Forger should declare his love first. Because he’s a hopeless romantic!

~ I really really cant stop talking about how I think the Twiyor relationship should play out.

~ A little story about Anya and Becky taking dance classes and getting Loid's help for a recital.

~ Yor is obviously stinking rich, thanks to her assassin job.

~ My theory on the twiyor kiss agenda in the manga.

~ The manga shows us Anya's comfort level with Loid and Yor as her parents and I love it.

~ Endo hints about Project Apple in the manga, and I often wonder what that may mean.

~ "Agent Twilight is a hopeless romantic!!!" I shout from the rooftops as I reflect on a moment in the series that hints at his growing feelings for Yor.

~ Anya's stickers!

~ Here I point out all the sweet smiles Twilight saves just for his family.

~ My thoughts on the possibilities of a twiyor kiss.

~ There are a lot of loose ends and possible story hints that may tell us how the spyxfamily story is going to go.

~ My rambling feelings about Anya and her secret.

~ Twilight is the most hopeless of hopeless romantics! He loves love but never thought he would experience it for himself. But he's falling for his family. I can prove it!

~ I love Becky Blackbell! She is so supportive of Anya, and I love their friendship.

~ This isn't anything special, but I feel like it's right to end this on my thirst for Loidy-boy and the iconic shower scene.

If you've made it so far, thank you again for being here! I hope you and I can experience the best parts of our lovely spy family and their fandom for years to come!

Banchetto: Formaggi e Frutta

Papa Emeritus III x Reader | NSFW

AO3 | Insalata | Masterpost

Selecting the pairings for cheese can be deceptively complicated. Anyone can put some cheese on a tray and call it done but for it to be truly good some serious thought needs to be done. Texture, flavour, sweet vs savoury, creamy vs crunchy, all build up to a well rounded dish. The first bite of a juicy grape paired with tang of a strong cheddar, or the sweet bitterness of cranberry with the mellow creaminess of a brie. Every element has to work together to create a bigger experience. If you make these choices with care then you will have a show stopping course and all you had to do was some slicing.

• • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • •

You had been lingering in his office. He was perched on the edge of his desk with his arms locked around you, preventing you from leaving and ending your time together for the day. The two of you had been in this position for at least half an hour, every time you tried to extricate yourself he would pull you in for one last kiss which became two, then three, then he would remember another important matter you just had to discuss right now. So far you had covered Cabaret the musical, why linen was the superior summer material, his favourite type of pen to do signings and the lies he used to tell people about ghoul mating habits. And now you were discussing your favourite cheeses.

‘I honestly have to say I don’t think I have tried a cheese I didn't like,’ you admit after listening to him explain why Italian cheeses were by far the best in the world. He wrinkles his nose at you, shaking his head in disgust. As inconsequential as these topics were, you enjoyed hearing his typically outlandish opinions and his passionate defence of them. You may have even been guilty of disagreeing with him deliberately from time to time just to enjoy his attempts to convince you of his point of view. 

‘Even the stinky ones?’ He looks like even just thinking of them is a displeasure he can’t abide, the charmingly emphasised wrinkles above the bridge of his nose almost distracting you from his argument. ‘The French, thinking they can get away with crimes against dairy just because of a few good ones,’ he grumbles, pulling a laugh from you. 

‘I think the English are guilty of that too, I am afraid,’ you remind him. ‘Have you ever tried Stinking Bishop?’

‘Ugh!! Never and I never will,’ he shakes his head again refusing to even entertain the thought. ‘But, cara mia, that is why everything Italian is far superior,’ he says, lifting his eyebrows suggestively and you suspect he isn’t just talking about cheese any more.

‘With what I have learned in the last few months I can’t say I disagree,’ you reply against his lips as he is already reeling you in for another kiss. You don’t let him distract you for too much longer though this time. ‘I don’t think you should judge a cheese until you try it with accompaniments though. The right flavours paired with the right cheese can make all the difference.’ 

‘I suppose there is some truth to what you say, mia cuocoina,’ he trails off for a moment looking like he is waging a battle internally before he takes a deep breath and continues. ‘Speaking of cheese, did you know there is a farmers market in town this weekend? I have heard they have very many types of cheese on sale there.’

‘I had heard, yes. It happens every month.’ You think back fondly to those trips out of the Abbey with Mona. ‘We used to take it in turns to go and pick up some obscure ingredients as a challenge for the others. I haven’t had a chance to go for a while.’

‘Would you like to go to this one? With me?’ His hesitancy makes your heart melt. How this man could ever think you wouldn’t want to go with him you have no idea? As if you don’t willingly spend almost every moment of your free time with him.

‘Are you asking me on a date, Terzo?’ You tease, hoping to ease his worry a little. The two of you may have done everything backwards but you can’t help the little thrill you get from the idea of him taking you on a proper date. He had been watching you nervously as he waited for your response but at your gentle teasing the corner of his lips pulled up in a smile even as a light blush crawled across his cheeks. 

‘Si, I am,’ he says simply, lifting his head and looking you directly in the eyes, hypnotising you for a moment in his gaze.

‘I would love to go with you,’ you reply as soon as you snap out of it, not wanting to leave him hanging any longer. His wide smile always takes your breath away and you stand there for far too long, just grinning at each other before you realise you do really need to leave. You give him one last kiss before making your way back to your room, mind full of your upcoming date. 

The morning arrives and you are up early having explained to Terzo that the earlier you get there the better. It would be less busy, you got the best pick of the produce and all the tasters won’t have sat out for so long. Taking your advice he had agreed to leave the Abbey around nine, and also on your advice you both were skipping breakfast, not wanting to fill yourselves up before you get there. But his morning coffee is non-negotiable… 

After getting ready you let yourself into his rooms and start the coffee machine. You can hear him moving about already so you don’t worry about getting him up, but instead have time to fuss about… well, everything. You smooth your hands over your outfit as you wait letting your nerves get the better of you for a second. It’s not to say you didn’t usually make an effort with your appearance, you did, but your clothes and hair had to be practical when cooking even if just for him. This was the first time you had had the opportunity to dress up and for some reason it had your stomach in knots. 

You wore your hair down today, letting the dark waves cascade down your back where they were usually secured in a bun and your make up was light as you had considered the time of day - just a subtle base and some eyeliner, mascara and lipstick to add a little emphasis to your features. The dress you picked was one you had never worn before. It was black, as was the majority of your wardrobe, but the light cotton fell softly over your figure, the hem ending at your mid-calf. It was buttoned up from your chest to your knees, giving a glimpse of leg and decolletage you hoped would capture his attention without flaunting too much. The puff sleeves and broderie anglaise finish the look and make it, in your opinion, the perfect dress for a date at the farmers market.

Just as you finish the coffee you hear him come to the door. You turn around a cup in each hand to catch him frozen in the doorway. With one hand he is clinging to the door frame and then other is laid dramatically over his heart. He is looking at you as if he has never seen you before. He looks incredible himself, his hair slicked back as you had not seen it for a long time and his face surprisingly clear of his paints, given you were leaving the Abbey. He is wearing an off-white revere collar shirt, habitually unbuttoned half way down his chest over tailored linen trousers in a soft dove grey with black woven loafers. He has a matching linen blazer over his arm, and he looks like he has just stepped out of the pages of a Milanese fashion magazine.

‘Good morning, Terzo,’ you greet as you go to hand him his coffee but he ignores it in favour of pulling you in for a kiss, letting go of the door frame and instead wrapping his arm around your waist and letting his hand glide down your body over the smooth fabric. You hum into his mouth enjoying his attentions but slightly worried about spilling coffee on you both as you hold them over his shoulders. ‘I could get used to this sort of greeting,’ you say when he lets you pull away, still seemingly at a loss for words. 

‘Grazie,’ he whispers, finally taking his coffee and savouring the first sip before continuing, letting his eyes roam all over you. ‘You are, well… beautiful doesn’t even cover it, I think. Sei una visione di bellezza, come non ne ho mai viste.’ He does this every now and then, slipping into his native tongue when he can’t seem to find the words to express himself in English. You don’t understand what he is saying but the sentiment is clear, so you let the melodic words wash over you and let your smile widen in response. 

‘You are looking very handsome today too.’ You cup his cheek with your now free hand and let him nuzzle into your palm. ‘I have been looking forward to this all week.’ 

‘Me too, cara mia.’ He places his hand over yours before taking it in his. ‘Are you ready to go?’

‘I’ve got my coffee, I've got you, I don't think I need anything else. And if we leave now everyone will still be at breakfast so we shouldn’t be bothered.’ With a nod and a smile he leads you from the kitchen through his rooms and out to the corridor, pausing only to lock the door behind you. You realise then that this is probably going to be the first time he has left the Abbey since returning from the last tour and what a big step this must be for him, as well as the two of you. You walk through the corridors quickly, leaving a plausible distance between you in case you were seen by anyone but before you reach the main entrance he leads you down an old corridor that, as far as you knew, only led to an older unused wing of the Abbey. 

‘Where are we going?’ You ask him as you follow him along the twists and turns of the dusty corridor but he just shushes you and continues as though he is looking for something. To your surprise he ignores the few doors you pass coming to a stop at an old painting covered in dust, which depicts what you can only assume is a life-sized satanic knight posing in his armour in the landscape of hell. Without any further explanation he feels around the edge of the frame until you hear a click and the painting swings forward revealing a secret set of stairs leading down to a door where you can see slivers of daylight seeping in where it has warped in its frame. Taking your hand he helps you down the steps before having to give the door a shove once, then twice before it opens and you find yourselves at the side of the main Abbey just outside the tall garden wall.  

‘This is the way we used to go when we didn’t want anyone to see us leaving,’ he says, shooting you a mischievous grin. ‘When we were boys especially and the older sisters wouldn’t give us the time of day we would sneak into town…’ He trails off realising the story he was about to tell you and his expression turns a little sheepish. ‘Well, you know how teenage boys can be.’ You shake your head at him good naturedly but take his offered hand so he can lead you down what is clearly a well trodden path through the public gardens to a side gate that opens on the main road into town.

• • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • •

The first and arguably most important consideration when preparing a dish like this is making everything bitesize. Slice things too small and the flavours will not balance well, slice things too big and you will end up with all sorts of mess, but getting it just right? A slice of cheese, a piece of fruit, a spoonful of chutney, a sliver of meat could all fit on a cracker and be eaten in one perfect bite.

• • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • •

It is a short pleasant walk especially on a morning like this. The Abbey is about half a mile from the town and despite the occasional comment or funny look, the residents seem to have accepted sharing the area with a satanic church a long time ago. The residents of the Abbey brought a lot of business to the local shops and trades people, doing their best to contribute to the community they were fringe members of which served to strengthen the tolerance of their presence. You yourself had good relationships with the local food stores, avoiding spending your budget at the supermarket as much as you could, so you had never experienced anything but a sideways glance from some of the more conservative members of the community. 

After about fifteen minutes you reach the town square which is already bustling with life even at this early hour of the weekend. Rows and rows of stalls fill the usually open space and there are already plenty of shoppers drifting from stall to stall. Having finished your coffees, you take his and put them in the nearest bin before pausing so you can come up with a plan of action.

‘When I come with Mona we try to be strategic,’ you explain as you try and suss out what the closest stalls are selling.

‘Oh, and why is this? To get the best produce? The best deals?’ He asks inquisitively, tilting his head as he thinks. You wish you could say those were the reasons but it was much less professional.

‘Nope. It is so we don’t get too full before we have eaten everything we want.’ He laughs loudly, clearly surprised at your reasoning but you try your best to keep your face straight. ‘It is important you know!’ you insist as his laughter calms.

‘You have been training me up for this moment, no?’ he says, patting his belly and winking at you knowingly.

‘Bigger appetites than yours have been defeated by the farmer’s market tasters, I will have you know,’ you respond, doing your best not to get distracted by his insinuation.

‘Psh, I could eat one of everything and still have room for whatever delicious dish you have planned for tonight.’ He winds his arm around your waist pulling you against his side as you walk together to the first stall. You can’t keep up your serious façade, his confidence and manhandling bringing a flush to your cheeks, at least until you realise what he said.

‘Need I remind you it is Saturday and my day off.’ You prod him in the side in retaliation and he jumps slightly when you catch his ticklish spot. He grabs your finger before you can poke him again, a little tug of war ensuing before he lets you free with a stern look.

‘Well I can cook for you then,’ he says, snapping his fingers as the idea comes to him. You dip your head for a moment, your chest feeling full at his insistence you spend even more of today together. Until the reality of him cooking anything for you sinks in. You had long suspected that he lacked even the most basic cooking skills, which was confirmed the only time you ever let him try to help you.

‘And what exactly are you going to cook for me?’ You ask as you reach the first stall filled with assorted jars of conserves and jams.

‘I will cook…’ He pauses, looking around at the closet stalls. ‘Cheese!’ he exclaims loudly, drawing some looks and a chuckle from the cheesemonger a couple of stalls over. He clears his throat, quieting his voice. ‘Cheese, cara mia, like we talked about the other night. Cheese and crackers and fruit and chutney. Like this!’ He picks up a jar of spiced cranberry chutney from the stall.

‘That will be 55 krona please, sir,’ the lady behind the stall tells him. He hands the jar to you and fishes his wallet out of his pocket, handing her cash and insisting she keep the change. 

‘That’s not exactly cooking is it,’ you scoff, putting the jar in one of the many tote bags you had thought to bring along. ‘But that being said, I would be happy to join you this evening.’ 

‘Maybe not but I can assure you I will put a lot more effort into dessert,’ he replies with a smirk as he pulls you towards the cheesemonger. ‘Now, Signior, I need a selection of your best cheese for mia cuocoina, and a little advice.’ 

He leads the way around the market, insisting on tasting this and that and asking questions of the vendors about flavour pairings and serving suggestions until your tote bags are beginning to weigh you both down. You find a bench at the edge of the square and flop down onto it taking the weight off your aching shoulders. He follows after you, sliding the bags to one side so he can sit right beside you. 

‘Try this, cara mia,’ he holds a small pastry to your lips, one he has already tried if the tell tale crumbs around his lips were anything to go buy. You almost refuse, your tactical plan having flown out the window long ago at his insistence you taste test almost everything. He looks at you beseechingly though and you cave, opening your mouth and allowing him to feed it to you. Before he can pull away though you close your lips around his fingers, getting your own back the only way you can right now. He freezes, his pupils blown wide as he watches you suck the tips of his fingers. 

‘Fancy seeing you here.’ A voice you recognise breaks through your lustful haze. You almost choke between the pastry and Terzo whipping his fingers from your mouth as if they were burning. You swallow your mouthful without even registering if it was nice or not as you turn to see Lilly and Rich stood before you. You jump up quickly, offering them each a hug, then trying to stand between them and Terzo, wracking your brain to explain why you were out in public with Papa's fingers in your mouth. 

‘Hi guys, what a lovely surprise. You should really try the pastries from over there, they are very good…’ You can feel your face burning completely at a loss on how to explain away what they must have seen.

‘Will Papa hand feed them to us as well?’ Rich asks sardonically, looking at you with your eyebrows raised as if waiting for an answer. At least until Lilly elbows him sharply in the ribs. 

‘It’s so nice to see you and to see you too, Papa. Hello!’ She says leaning around you to offer Terzo a wave. He stands dusting crumbs from his face and his shirt and carefully keeping some space between you as he shifts to see them both. 

‘Hello, Sister…’ He glances at you and you realise he has never met them before and some introductions are in order.

‘Lilly, Ter… Papa, this is Lilly and Rich. We work together in the kitchens.’ Lilly smiles at him offering another wave which he returns but Rich still doesn’t look impressed, clearly wanting to confront you both on what he saw.

‘Ah, si. Hello, Sister Lilly and Brother Rich. And I can assure you those pastries are delicious whether fed from my own hands or not.’ He switches his Papa persona on, and it’s a little jarring after all this time. ‘Sorella here, I have tired her out having her carry all these bags of things I wanted. I thought I better not tire her arms any further.’ 

‘Right,’ Rich replies slightly at a loss for words. You don’t think his story has helped the situation at all but though he looks a little awkward and uncomfortable, it doesn’t seem like Terzo really minds the two of you getting caught, so you take a deep breath and relax.

‘All this shopping and eating… I could do with another coffee, I think. Si…’ He nods to himself, already heading towards the coffee stall. ‘Anyone else?’ He asks almost as an afterthought and you all nod. ‘Four coffees then, ok.’ The three of you watch him go but as soon as he is out of earshot, they both turn to you.

‘What the hell was that?’ Rich asks in an angry whisper. ‘I thought you were just doing your job and he was far too stressed about getting fired to try it on? Not that it looked like he had to try that hard…’ He had always been protective of the three of you, but you couldn’t help feeling defensive when he had no idea what had been growing between you.

‘Oh leave her be, they both looked happy while they were doing it. What does it matter?’ You smile at Lilly appreciatively, thankful for her understanding.

‘Guys, please just listen.’ You knew you had to explain something. ‘We, well, look, we just-’ You can’t even find the words to start. It’s not like with Mona where you can tell her everything and she just understands, not that you have time for that anyway. You glance over to the stall and see him standing in line, carefully studying the menu and certainly not looking back over every few seconds. ‘I… I can’t really explain what we are; not at the moment,’ you sigh. ‘But Lilly is right, we are happy, everything is fine.’ 

‘You do look happy, and he looks better too.’ Lilly says reassuringly and you breathe a sigh of relief. 

‘Yeah, no one can accuse you of slacking on feeding him.’ Both you and Lilly turn to glare at him.

‘Don’t be a dick, Rich!’ she admonishes him, treating him to another elbow to the ribs.

‘What?’ He says defensively rubbing his side. ‘He is looking a lot more well-fed than he ever did before.’ It isn’t an apology but it is probably as close as you will get from Rich. 

‘Could you guys just keep this between us, please?’ You feel like you are begging, but the last thing you want is people finding out about the two of you through gossip. You hadn’t really thought about it or discussed it but you were sure that Terzo would like to tell his brothers himself when the time was right.

‘Keep what? There’s nothing to tell anyway, right Rich?’ She threatens him with her elbow one last time but relents when he agrees with a flinch.  

‘Right, nothing to tell.’ The three of you look at him just as he looks away sharply and he gets handed the tray of coffees. You feel a little relief but the silence is awkward as you wait for him to make his way back over. 

‘Caffè for everyone!’ He announces on his return and you each take a cup.

‘Thank you Papa, that was very kind,’ Lilly thanked him genuinely. ‘But we better get going. We have a list. Mona has really taken to bossing us around since you've been gone.’ You know she is joking, but it still sends a pang through you. As happy as you are in your current position, you do miss them. ‘Anyway, it was lovely to see you! Bye!’ She grabs Rich by the elbow and drags him away with only one last glare over his shoulder. 

‘Terzo, I’m sorry,’ You say slumping back onto the bench.  

‘They didn’t know about us?’ He asks cautiously. He sits beside you but leaves enough space to be considered decent and keeps his hands to himself. You can’t decide if you are disappointed or not. 

‘No, they didn’t.’ You shoot him a sideways glance and he is looking down at his coffee, his expression unreadable. 

‘So, you haven’t spoken to anyone about…?’ He trails off, neither of you at a point of being able to define what is going on between you. ‘Even before, you didn’t seek out your friends?’

‘Well I did… Mona, but I trust her. She would never say anything.’ He holds up a hand to halt you and you feel a bubble of panic starting to grow in your chest.

‘That’s not what I meant, cara mia.’ He finally looks at you now and the bubble dissolves. His eyes are warm, full of care. ‘I am glad you spoke to your friend about this, just as I am glad of her discretion. I would hate to think about you being so upset and also alone.’

‘You were dealing with it all alone.’ His hand rests on the bench between you and you place yours over the top. It feels wrong not to be touching at all during such a conversation. 

‘Ah, I am used to it,’ he says, brushing you off. ‘I am used to it.’ He turns his hand under yours loosely lacing your fingers together. ‘And anyway, I am not alone anymore am I?’ It’s a slow smile that grows across his face, like he is only just realising it now. 

‘No you aren’t,’ you confirm, squeezing his hand and returning his smile. If you had your way he would never be alone again. 

‘May I ask,’ he pauses like he isn’t sure he wants to ask what he is about to say. ‘Why you didn’t tell your other friends?’ But this is something you can easily offer him an answer to.

‘Well it’s just… Lilly is young, she is only twenty. It feels a little odd talking to her about relationships when she feels like a little sister, and Rich? Well, he is the biggest gossip in the whole kitchen. It’s not that I don’t trust him, but he just gets a little carried away sometimes.’ You can’t help your fond smile. ‘And he is pretty protective of us, even if he can be a little bit of a dick about it.’

‘I see, I see.’ He seems happy enough accepting your reasons. ‘Are you ok?’ He inches a little closer now, already over keeping a sensible distance. 

‘Yeah, I am.’ You decide even as you are saying it. The confrontation with your friends could have gone better, but it could have gone a lot worse. And it’s better you get caught by your friends then any other random inhabitant of the Abbey. In fact, you should have foreseen this happening, going out together so close to home. You wonder if he feels the same though. ‘Are you?’

‘Si, I think it is time to go home though,’ he says and you nod in agreement. You think you have both had enough excitement for today. ‘I called for a car while I was waiting for the coffee,’ he admits a little sheepishly. 

‘Oh, thank Satan.’ Your relief is palpable, both your full stomach and your sore shoulders thankful. ‘I thought we were going to have to carry all of this back.’

Presentation is the second most important consideration and for that you need a suitable foundation. Depending on the number of people you are catering for you need a vessel large enough to hold enough food. The material is less important, dictated by aesthetic preference, whether you prefer wood, glass, slate or porcelain. Consider whether you need vessels for particular ingredients, additional cutlery to serve. By planning for all eventualities you make sure the meal is a success.

• • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • •

With a plea from you and an order from Terzo a ghoul assists in carrying the bags back to his rooms, leaving them on the kitchen table before departing to wherever it is ghouls go when off duty. You begin to unpack, starting to sort out the haul to put in the appropriate storage but he comes behind you taking your wrists in his hands and steers you back out of the kitchen. 

‘Mia cuocoina please,’ he murmurs against the back of my head. ‘I need peace for the art I am about to create.’ You try to suppress your laugh but it comes out an inelegant snort.

‘I can help,’ you reply, twisting in his arms to look at him. ‘Just tell me what you want me to do.’ 

‘No,’ he says, shaking his head. ‘It is my turn to make food for you!’ He continues shepherding you backwards towards his office. ‘Go have a nap, visit friends, whatever.’ he drops a kiss on your lips before spinning you back around. 

‘You may come back in two hours,’ he swats at your ass as he opens the door and lets you out into the hallway. 

You pause for a moment wondering where you even wanted to go. Going back to your rooms wasn’t very appealing, there were no distractions there and you knew the time would crawl by. The kitchens were out of the question right now if you didn't want to be subjected to the interrogation you were spared in town, something you were keen to avoid as long as possible. The gardens were an option except you could still feel the ache in your arms from carrying the bags around the market and you know for certain if Primo catches you in the garden there was no chance you would be leaving unencumbered by whatever vegetables he could give you. 

Your wandering takes you past the upper clergy offices, mostly dark and unused of a Saturday afternoon but you spot movement behind one of the doors and you are not surprised when you realise whose it is. There is only one person you know that would willingly work on a Saturday and fortunately that was a person you had been meaning to speak to. Since you and Terzo had joined his brothers for lunch in fact. You had no sweet treats prepared for him today but you were sure he could do with a break. He could always do with a break. 

Approaching the closed door you knock softly and wait for him to answer and the slightly frantic scuffling you can hear lets you know you won’t have to wait long. But a few moments pass before he answers the door. His exhaustion is plain on his face, sadly not much different than any of the other times you have seen him lately. 

‘Sorella,’ he says with a tired smile when he registers it is you at his door. ‘How can I help you today?’

‘I found myself at a loose end and saw you were working!’ You explain as he holds the door open for you and gestures to the seat before his desk. ‘And why are you working on a Saturday?’

‘There is so much to do and so little time,’ he says, flopping back into his chair with a heavy sigh. ‘I was not busy today anyway so I thought why waste time when there is so much to catch up on.’ The clergy’s decision to remove Terzo from his position has caused more problems than you had first thought. You can’t help thinking how odd it is that no new Papa had been appointed after all these months when there was clearly a need but you set that aside for now.

‘Even you need a break Cardinal.’ You struggle to keep the worry from your voice.

‘Well you are here, let's have a break now.’ His smiles grows more genuine as he speaks. ‘I wished to speak with you anyway.’ 

‘Yes me too,’ you agree. It makes it easier now that he has brought it up himself. ‘I have been meaning to come and see you since the lunch but well, you know Papa, he was keeping me busy. Even on my day off he had me going into town with him to the farmers market.’ You are starting to worry your blush is becoming permanent and you hope your smile isn’t as sappy as it feels. If you plan to continue keeping your relationship quiet you really need to get better at schooling your reactions. 

‘Si, I imagine Papa has lots to keep you busy.’ he agrees laughing but his face turns serious. ‘He is.. Well he is treating you well Sorella?’ He pauses, seeming to choose his words carefully, his fingers coming up to play with his moustache nervously. ‘Like a gentleman? When things are hard I think sometimes he can forget he is a good man.’ You sense that Copia may be talking from personal experience and having seen that side of Terzo yourself you are keen to reassure him.

‘I think I understand what you mean, Cardinal, he …’ You pause thinking over your wording just as carefully. ‘When I first began working for him he was different, while everything was fresh but he, we, found a compromise. He has apologised for some of his more thoughtless actions.’ Copia raises his eyebrows and you panic momentarily. ‘Oh nothing so bad and really, I had a lot of sympathy for his situation. I wasn’t expecting him to be at his best.’ 

‘It was regrettable what happened.’ He takes off his beretta and runs his hands through his hair. ‘It .. well it was unexpected for all of us, I think but it is good to see him doing better.’ He does look genuinely relieved even though the situation has clearly impacted him. ‘All this food seems to be doing the trick eh?’

‘The food probably has helped, yes,’ you laugh, and the rest you thought, keeping that to yourself. ‘But I think it is really just time, Cardinal.’ He would have improved with or without you over time but you do like to think you have helped him move on a little faster then he may have done otherwise. 

‘Now, can we discuss those notes you brought me to translate?’ His direct questions bring you straight back down from your romantic imaginings.

‘I was waiting for you to bring them up.’ You know you owe him something of an explanation  but you are not above waiting to see what he has worked out for himself.  

‘They, well I suppose I don’t know enough to say really,’ he begins confidently before tailing off. ‘But they didn’t read like professional recipes.’

‘That's because they weren’t but Cardinal, it’s not my place to say more, not that I even really know anymore.’ In this at least you can be honest. You could probably make a good guess as to who wrote out the recipes but you aren’t willing to voice that now. ‘He gave me some recipes and he never said where they came from or why that was all he wanted and I didn’t feel it was my place to ask. There were things said at lunch that might have given me some clues but even so.’ 

‘Si, before. I noticed that too.’ He takes a deep breath before continuing. ‘It has not been long since I was considered an outsider to them and outsiders really know very little by design. If it hadn’t been announced that I was also Nihils son then that would still be the case. But even though I never grew up the way that they did, well Secondo and Terzo anyway, I was here in the Ministry already and I saw what happened.’ 

You say nothing, waiting for him to continue sensing his need to unburden himself. 

‘I was brought up as an orphan you see and while most children in the church are brought up communally, orphan or otherwise, the Emeritus brothers were always separate.’ He switches into lecture mode but you still hang on his every word. There were very few people you mixed with who had been a member of the church for so long. ‘Primo has always been here, his mother was a Sister of great reputation chosen especially to birth an heir but Terzo and Secondo, their mothers must have met Nihil on his travels because they weren’t brought to the church until the were ten, Secondo only a few months before Terzo.’  

‘What happened to their mothers?’ A part of you feels bad even asking but your curiosity wins out. You would not feel comfortable asking Terzo himself this but it feels like the last piece in a puzzle you had been building since you had accepted this position. 

‘They just carried on with their lives I suppose. I know Primo fought with Nihil about it, that their mother’s should have been invited to join them or at least to visit but it was decided. No distractions, they had had ten years of normal life and now they were to prepare for their future as men of the Emeritus line.’ His expression turns wry as he continues. ‘It makes me almost glad that he didn’t acknowledge me until recently. I might have liked having brothers growing up though.’ You pat his arm where it rests on the desk offering what little comfort you can.  

‘Anyway I know Terzo’s mother tried for a while, sending packages of food and presents for him but I don’t know what happened after that. One day they just stopped coming.’ Your heart clenches, for Terzo, for Copia, for all of them. They may be in some of the most powerful positions in the Clergy but it was clear they had all been forced to sacrifice a lot for the privilege. 

‘It sounds like it wasn’t easy for any of you.’ Like any organisation there were machinations going on far above the notice of normal members like yourself, you weren’t naïve enough to think otherwise but you found it jarring learning that somewhere that had felt immediately like home and safety to you had treated these men so poorly.  

‘No I suppose not.’ He rubs his hands over his face, the conversation having turned heavier than either of you expected. After a moment he offers you a tired smile. ‘Now tell me more about this farmers market.’ You while away the rest of the time describing in detail the stalls and the tasters and when you eventually leave you hope you both are feeling a little lighter.

Once you have your vessel and your ingredients prepared then all that is left is the arrangement. There are endless ways to arrange the food enticingly. If you want your dish to be eye-catching and mouth watering you must consider the balance of colour and texture. You can create contrast with light and dark meats or cheeses. You may introduce pops of colours with fresh fruits and berries and mix textures with a soft cheese, a juicy fruit and a crisp cracker. Complimentary flavours could be grouped, the arrangement of your board encouraging certain combinations both traditional and daring. Your final result will be a visually appealing and delicious dish to present.

It’s been a long time since you have had to knock before entering his quarters but it feels appropriate now, giving him a chance to finish the final touches to his creation before you enter. You almost reach the point of knocking again, wondering if he hadn’t heard you when he pulls the door open. He was still wearing his shirt and trousers but he had borrowed your apron.

‘This looks good on you,’ you tease, pulling at the strap around his neck, but he only takes your hand and leads you inside.

‘Now cara mia you are in for a treat if I do say so myself.’ When you reach the dining room he stops you, placing his hands over your eyes as he guides you the final distance. ‘No peaking now,’ He says as he positions you at the end of the table. 

‘Ta daaa,’ He uncovers your eyes and as you blink you can’t help but be impressed. The centre of the table is covered in what may be every plate in the kitchen; each one has a different cheese and its suggested accompaniments arranged around it. You had fought valiantly for any cheeses other than Italian but he had refused to budge keen for you to taste all of his favourites. He pours you a glass of wine, a deep red and hands you a glass. 

‘This is Barolo, aged in oak caskets it is the most decadent of Italian wines. The King of wines they call it.’ You take a sip and examine the flavours. It is rich, fruity and floral but with an earthiness that should pair well with your meal this evening. You were by no means a wine expert but your palette was well developed over your career and you can tell an expensive wine when you taste one. 

‘Terzo this is very extravagant,’ you stop when he raises his hand.

‘You deserve the best, cara mia, as does this cheese!.’ He gestures across the table and you survey all the options before you, savouring another sip of the wine. In the middle he has laid out a selection of crackers, water, butter and grain in a variety of different shapes. There was crumbling gorgonzola drizzled with honey to calm the bite of the blue veins and topped with quartered grapes and shelled pistachios. Slices of nutty pecorino sit between folded slices of ham generously filled with halved figs and walnuts. Cubes of provolone mixed with slices of olive oil, cured sopressata and green olives and taleggio and apple slices wrapped in salty prosciutto. Finally a bowl of whipped mascarpone, dark red cherry and balsamic dressing pooling between the peaks and whole cherries and pecans sinking into the soft cheese. 

He pulls out your chair for you, getting you comfortably seated then he goes to take off the apron before joining you at the table waiting as you take in the whole spread. It is strange being on the receiving end of such a gesture. You can’t remember the last time someone had prepared an extravagant meal for you like this, even if he had only sliced and arranged the food, it was clear how much effort he has put in to impress you.

He lets you start helping yourself to the plate closest to you when you struggle to decide where to begin with so many enticing options. The two of you are quiet for a time only pausing to express your pleasure with the flavours to each other. After trying at least two helpings of each cheese you sit back with your wine before your stomach begins protesting after your second round of overindulging for the day.

‘Thank you for doing this Terzo,’ you say as you watch him assemble another mouthful. ‘I’m not sure I remember the last time someone did this for me.’ He pauses before taking a bite, looking at you in surprise.

‘Is that so?’ He looks thoughtful as he finishes off his mouthful, getting every trace from his fingers. ‘You are very welcome, cara mia. In fact I enjoyed doing this more than I thought.’ 

‘Am I out of a job now?’ You joke just to watch his eyes widen in panic.

‘Hold on no no!’ He shakes his head emphatically. ‘I did not mean that at all. I will always prefer your incredible cooking.’ 

‘I suppose I will stick around then,’ you reassure him.

‘Thank Satan as much as this was fun. I could not imagine doing it everyday, multiple times.’ He looks exhausted just thinking about it. ‘You are a superwoman, mia cuocoina.’ 

‘I’m not, I just enjoy it,’ you explain. You always had since you were young and had followed your mother around the kitchen.

 ‘Why do you think you were so drawn to cooking?’ He asks. It wasn’t something you had thought much about before. It had just been a fact of your life. 

‘Well I like food obviously,’ you say with a laugh but you pause as you think of what it is you enjoy most about it. ‘I think it's just such a big part of our lives, we have to eat to survive so why not make that as enjoyable as we can?’ Of course it is your job and has been for the longest time but there is a more personal element to it, especially when it comes to people you care about. ‘And you know if you can cook you can make your friend a delicious soup when they are ill, you can make their favourite pasta dish after they just got dumped or you can bewitch a man by making his stomach fall for you first,’ you finish with a wink.

‘Mmmm I see,’ he says sipping his wine, his eyes going heavy lidded as he regards you. ‘So this was your plan was it?’ His voice goes deep and teasing and you shift in your seat. 

‘No, just a happy accident.’ You lean towards him without even noticing, so easily drawn into his orbit. ‘I think my food was just too good for you to resist.’ He nods in agreement, conceding to your point but this conversation is far from its end.

‘And what about you?’ He holds your gaze, keeping you attentive to his every word. 

‘What about me?’ You ask, tilting your head not quite understanding his question.

‘What made you unable to resist your Papa?’ You swallow thickly. There are so many reasons you wouldn’t even know where to start.

‘You don’t need me to tell you how irresistible you are.’ you say instead. You aren’t against stroking his ego usually but you know he is well aware of his affect on people and you in particular. 

‘I have my own charms. I am in no doubt about that.’ He says confidently and you know it is true. ‘You though? I think it is a little different than any I have seduced before.’

‘Oh?’ You have an inkling where he is going with this. You had your suspicions that there were a lot more feelings involved then either of you were used to in your past relationships but this didn’t feel like the build up to a heartfelt confession. He was looking at you as if he had been leading you to a trap and you had just fallen in. 

‘You like feeding me.’ he states, matter of fact, placing his wine glass down on the table.

‘Yes we have discussed that.’ You are sure the two of you had discussed how you enjoyed taking care of him even as early as your first dinner together.  

‘No we haven’t. Feed me.’ His voice is hard but not cold as he orders you but you hesitate.

‘What?’ You think back trying to clear your confusion and you remember the lunch or more specifically just before when you had been reassuring him in his bedroom. You had known then that he wouldn’t drop that forever but it still didn’t make you any more prepared. 

‘I am not yet satisfied. Feed me.’ You swallow again, unable to control your body's reaction to his strict demands. You want to obey him, to feed him but again you hesitate. 

‘Terzo …’ He gives you a stern look cutting you off before you can continue. ‘Papa?’ It comes out as a question but it seems obvious what he wants. He rewards you with a smirk. 

‘I want some more gorgonzola, si,’ He encourages as you take a water cracker and begin to load it with cheese. ‘Plenty of honey too per favore then be a brava cuocoina and feed it to me. Then I will explain.’ You offer him the cracker and he tuts at you shaking his head.

‘Uh uh,’ he sighs. ‘Do it properly.’ He pushes the plates to the side and pats the table in front of him. You stand uncertainly but he pats the table again until you sit before him and offer him the cracker a second time. He scoots his chair forward forcing you to spread your legs to accommodate him but now he is in the perfect position for you to place the food in his waiting mouth. He chews slowly, moaning low as the flavours combine and harmonise on his tongue. 

‘Mia cuocoina, I think the taleggio now, no?’ You take his suggestion, the rolls of prosciutto and apple are much easier to feed him. He watches you for a moment before continuing. ‘There were clues you see but I did not notice at first. Now though, now your Papa understands.’ You offer him the next bite but his warm hand closes around your wrist holding you in place. 

‘You kiss me differently, did you know this? After we have eaten, you like me tasting of food you made me I think.’ You feel like you can’t breathe as he begins listing all the things he has noticed. ‘And my clothes, you look at me differently too, when things get a little tighter, tighter than they used to be. You like seeing how I have changed with every meal you have fed me I think.’ You can’t deny it because what he says is true. A part of you had hoped he might not have noticed everything but with every word that hope gets smaller and smaller. 

‘And now here. Your heart is racing and yet all I have done is eat a little from your own hands.’ He pauses to take a bite, his teeth sinking into the soft cheese and crisp apple and just grazing the tip of your fingers. ‘You enjoy feeding me, more than you realise I think.’ 

‘Papa I …’ You don’t know what to say. He doesn’t look angry or upset but you feel the urge to apologise even as words fail you. He swallows the last bite freeing your wrist.

‘Shhh it is ok mia cuocoina.’ His hands trail down to your ankles tracing miscellaneous shapes into your skin. ‘Cherries now per favore. The balsamic cherries with the mascarpone. His fingers creep up your calves ghosting the shape of you before hooking behind your knees. He pulls you forward until you are sitting at the edge of the table. You lean across him, choosing a butter cracker, the thicker texture better to support the soft cheese. 

‘I am craving something sweeter,’ he explains. You bring it to his lips, the cherry juice starting to drip down your fingers and he catches it with his tongue leaving a sticky trail behind it before closing his lips over the mouthful. Your breath catches in your throat and his eyelids droop seductively as he sucks the last traces of juice and cheese from your fingers. 

‘That didn’t quite hit the spot,’ he says, hands already sliding your skirt up your thighs until he can clearly see your underwear and the wet patch there is little point trying to hide. ‘Ah so I was right. You do enjoy hand feeding your Papa.’ He spreads your legs even further so he can lean close enough that you feel his steady breathing against you. ‘After all that fuss.’ He grazes his teeth over your clit, the material of your underwear protecting you but the threat still makes your thighs shake. When he does bite down it’s only on the hem of your underwear as he pulls them to the side leaving you bare to him for the first time.

He just looks at first holding you in suspense but in a split second his tongue is all over you yet somehow still not hitting any places you wanted him, needed him. Around and around he swirls his tongue over your folds, then the most gentle suction. Little sounds of enjoyment he seems unaware of that vibrate through you as he tastes you thoroughly. But his teasing as you fed him, his sucking and nipping at your fingers had already got you ready for so much more. Giving in you lace your fingers through his hair to guide him to exactly where you want his attention most but he resists all your attempts, making the frustration inside you build and build. You try another tactic grinding your hips against his face but he pulls away pressing your hips down onto the table and stopping any further movement and forcing a whine from deep in your chest.

‘Cuocoina, please. I am just trying to properly enjoy my meal.’ He pauses to lick a long stripe, tongue flat and broad to give you as much friction as possible. You can’t breathe, not for a moment, the sudden rush of pleasure the only thing your mind can comprehend but almost as soon as it starts it ends the only thing you can feel are the puffs of his warm breath.

‘But perhaps you would prefer to feed me this too?’ He positions himself that he is a hair's breadth away from you before his vice-like grip on your hips loosens. ‘Feed me’ he growls and you have to obey.

You grind your hips against him over and over, his tongue finding your entrance making your thighs shake as you fight to get him even deeper. Your foot loses purchase where it had settled on the arm of his chair and you scream as your clit catches the tip of his nose. One of his hands finds its way to your thigh helping to steady you but the other creeps up your body underneath your dress. He cups your breast over bra, his maddening fingers finding your already hard nipple through the light material pinching and twisting until you can't decide if you want to arch into his teasing hand or push back against his face. 

‘Papa! Terzooo,’ you moan his name in frustration, struggling as your pleasure builds to take what you need from him but he finally takes pity on you, hooking both your legs over his shoulders and lifting your hips clean off the table.

‘Fuck mia cuocoina,’ he growls against your core. He sucks your clit long and hard until you scream your toes curling against his back. ‘Sei la cosa migliore che abbia mai assaggiato, cazzo.’ You barely register his switch to Italian, too busy chanting his name in your pleasure fuelled delirium.

You are so close to the edge when his lips close over you sucking and sucking while his tongue swipes over your clit over and over again. You can feel it building, a charge shooting through your nerves from the soles of your feet to the palms of your hand and you continue babbling his name, repeating until it is almost meaningless. He pinches your nipple, hard, and you arch up from the table with a gasp just as he slides a finger inside you curling it perfectly to press against your g spot. 

Every bit of air is forced from your lungs as your orgasm overtakes you. Your ears begin to ring as the force of it pulses through your body and what feels like every muscle contracting and releasing as you gasp for air. Your hands are still gripping at his hair keeping him in place not that it is needed as he laps at you greedily, catching every last drop of your orgasm. 

‘Making sure you are well fed?’ You giggle deliriously, still feeling somewhat detached from reality. You release your death grip on his hair and he sets your hips back down on the table helping you ease the vice-like grip of your thighs around him. His face is wet with your slick but it only emphasises his flushed cheeks. He grins at you in satisfaction, his eyes sparkling as he takes in the state he has made of you.

He pulls you back upright by your hands after straightening your underwear and your dress but this time no one could mistake the treatment you had just received. Your balance has not yet returned and so helps you into his lap where you can lean against his warm body. As you get settled you can feel his hardness trapped beneath you but as you reach for him cupping him through his trousers, he catches your wrist gently and instead wraps your arms around his neck. He distracts you by stealing kisses and you discover you almost enjoy the taste of you on his lips as much as you enjoy the taste of the food you make him.   

He slows your frantic kisses down, only offering you slow pecks to help you actually catch your breath. He rubs your back soothingly over your dress and encourages you to rest against him but you still end up clinging to his shoulders to help keep you upright as the haze of your pleasure recedes leaving you exhausted. He tucks your hair behind your ear, his hand settling at the back of your neck.

‘Mmm, now I am satisfied,’ he whispers against your lips before distracting you again with his captivating kisses.

That Extroverted friend tm

Brezziana! 3/6 cats done! (well, actually 4/6 but that cat will show up later shhhh)

Brie was, she was a lot easier than Sara was but so much harder than Wanderlust (that guy was so easy, wtf?)

Her normal colors came easily, I wanted her to be super bright so I went with orange. I tried to incorporate the design of her jacket into her design and that's why her paws have two different kinds of stripes. Thats why she also has two stripes on her shoulders. I also KNEW she needed hearts so she got one on her chest and one on her cheek.

The Swan version was harder. At first I just changed the yellow into darker orange. And that's where @not-so-brave-toaster comes in, saving me once again. She proposed that I turn the orange darker and it turned out great. We brainstormed what to do with the stripes, they were red for a second but the purple looks 100 times better! Many small changes later and she was designed!

I'm so happy! 2 more cats to go!

Yonvers Masterpost (+sources)

Here is a masterpost of everything related to the relationship between Carol and Yon-Rogg in the Captain Marvel film and its books. (Updates may follow. Feel free to tell me if a link stops working!)

in quotes:

“[…] [Yon-Rogg] is also a mentor to Vers. He found her in a very early confrontation that led to her becoming super powered. He brought her back to life with Kree blood and she has been his pet project. He feels responsible for guiding and containing her skill set, honing her abilities, and trying to keep her mind from drifting into more human, emotional places, and becoming therefore more focused, driven, and less emotional, which is more of a Kree and certainly more Star-Force’s way of doing things. They have a tight bond, but Vers’ humanity still comes out, and I think that is hugely attractive to Yon-Rogg. I think he finds her irresistible, and it’s her human elements that he really warms to.” — Jude Law [Captain Marvel the Official Movie Special (ISBN-10: 178586811X)] [picture] [video]

“He’s her commander, I can say that. I can say that he has a very powerful role, he’s sort of a mentor to Carol and they have a very loving relationship.” — Brie Larson [video]

"There's a lot and back and forth that comes with the two of them, which kind of creates a little bit of tension with the rest of Starforce. Like 'Why do they have a special relationship, and why isn't it me?" — Brie Larson [link]

“[Carol’s] relationship with Jude Law’s character, it’s a really mentor-mentee thing. He’s kind of the leader of her squad on Hala and teachers her in the ways of being a Kree warrior. And so over the course of their adventure, when she gets captured by the Skrulls and they get separated, he spends a lot of the movie trying to find her and trying to get her back and rescue her from the Skrulls. It’s a tender relationship, but it’s very much mentor-protégé. And I think Carol still has a lot of the elements that made her human in her, which Jude Law’s character both appreciates and is irritated by.” — Jonathan Schwartz (Executive Producer) [link]

"[...] their bond and their relationship as mentor and mentee, pupil and sensei, and how they met and what they offer to each other is very much at the heart of the film and the journey that Brie’s character goes on. [...] The relationship really is about containment. There’s a sort of control to my character, there’s a sense of focus and clarity and discipline, and really that’s one of the things I think of the piece, is trying to contain and what is being in control and what isn’t.”— Jude Law [link]

in the deleted scenes:

Yon-Rogg talking to the Supreme Intelligence who confirms his feelings for Carol (in case the videos get deleted: [here are the gifs I’ve made])

Vers watching Yon-Rogg being the teacher of small children (the last part is missing, [you can find the gifs of it here])

Yon-Rogg briefly defending Vers in front of Minn-Erva and the rest of the Starforce

in official Marvel books:

Starforce on the Rise (ISBN-10: 1368046967)

Starforce Mission Log (ISBN-10: 0794443168)

Hero Storybook (ISBN-10: 1760663921)

“The idea was that it’s a local gym that Yon-Rogg’s been going to since he was a kid. It’s way on the bottom of lower Hala*. It’s not really a part of the Starforce above. The idea was it was kind of like a ‘Rocky learns to fight’ boxing club, but the Kree version of that. It’s his place. It’s where he’s been going to forever, and that’s where he and Vers train.” — The Art Of Captain Marvel (ISBN-10: 130291527) [picture]

"Vers's training and mentorship under Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), Commander of Starforce, is a key part of her development as a Kree warrior. Yon-Rogg is protective of Vers, but he also pushes her to develop her abilities." — Gallery Book (part of the Captain Marvel - Target Exclusive (4K/UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital)) [picture]

So karlie is supposed to stop liking someone’s pics , that she has been doing before tumblr fans decided there are coincidences between Taylor and Brie ? Do you even hear yourself ? As for Taylor , she promoted the movie bc she was tagged in a post , that was the timing

No, but if you’ve been here for a while, you’d notice a particular pattern of behavior from Karlie that reads obnoxious for several years that have me and mutuals rolling our eyes. This isn’t the first weird coincidence between Taylor and Dianna, just the latest in a running tallly, but if you’re gonna be an Only Karlie Kaylor, why would you know that? ☕️

[jennyboom21]

And on July 10th of 2021, Brie lurked Taylor’s twitter feed to post about GLAAD. @briesonoflars We gotta make an update!

Braylor Masterpost

(Sherlock: The Sign of Three, 2014)

Disclaimer: All media shown on this post is not mine. All Tumblr posts will be credited to their respective owners, unless stated otherwise. The only thing I own is the compilation of the posts and media shown in this masterpost. Please do not repost without credit. 

Intro

In this masterpost I will be cataloguing the coincidences, overlaps, and references present online between the singer Taylor Swift and the actress Brie Larson. Over the past several months, initially beginning with the release of the Captain Marvel film that Brie starred in and ramping up with the release of Taylor’s 7th album Lover, there have been an increasing number of connections and coincidences between the two. At the behest of several other accounts on Tumblr, I decided to compile a masterpost containing as many examples of such coincidences as I could. This is not meant to offend anyone. It is simply an exercise in observation. 

Vocabulary 

Braylor- a “ship” name, a word referring to the friendship and/or relationship between Taylor Swift and Brie Larson (@jennyboom21).

PR- shortened form of public relations. Public relations is the practice of deliberately managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public (Wikipedia). 

Aesthetic- a particular theory or conception of beauty or art: a particular taste for or approach to what is pleasing to the senses, especially sight (Merriam-Webster). 

Beachella- a phase that Taylor Swift went through back in 2016 where she bleached her blonde hair (Urban Dictionary).

Easter Egg- A hidden item placed in a movie, television show, or otherwise visual media for close watchers (Urban Dictionary)

Old Hollywood- Classical Hollywood cinema, classical Hollywood narrative, the Golden Age of Hollywood, Old Hollywood, and classical continuity are terms used in film criticism which designate both a narrative and visual style of film-making which developed in and characterized American cinema between the 1910s (rapidly after World War I) and the 1960s, and eventually became the most powerful and pervasive style of film-making worldwide. (Wikipedia)

Premises

In this masterpost I will assume that A) both Brie and Taylor are not straight. Whether you want to label them as lesbian, bisexual, or queer is up to you. Additionally, I will assume that B) both Brie and Taylor are either in some form of PR or otherwise non-legitimate relationship with their supposed significant others. This means that they are not dating, engaged, married or otherwise in a relationship with these men

Background

In the upcoming weeks to the release of her first single ME! With Brendon Urie, Taylor began a countdown across her social media platforms, ending on the date of April 26th, 2019. A significant amount of hype was generated around this countdown, and many fans speculated as to what it would mean. Many suspected new music, and were proved right when she released the music video for the song at midnight Central Standard Time.

On the same date, the much anticipated movie Avengers: Endgame was released in theatres nationwide. The film was anticipated greatly by many as it would serve as a conclusion to the events of the previous film, and would signal the end of the six original Avengers’ involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Captain Marvel was released earlier in the spring (March 8th, 2019), detailing the origin story of Captain Carol Danvers, played by Brie. Much of the hype online, specifically in female oriented circles, was generated due to Brie’s involvement in the film. 

On April 5th, 2019, Unicorn Store, which Brie directed and starred in, was released on Netflix after distribution rights were initially held back since the film’s initial release was September 11th, 2017. Fans of both Brie and Taylor’s work were were quick to note the aesthetic similarities between Unicorn Store and the promotional posts, music videos, and styling choices of Taylor during the Lover era. This is where we begin. 

Just to note, the coincidences are listed in no particular order. 

Time 100 Gala 

Both Brie and Taylor attended the Time 100 Gala on April 23rd, 2019. Brie was there to promote Avengers: Endgame and Taylor was there to promote Lover.  Taylor performed there. During her song New Years Day Taylor used female pronouns. During Taylor’s performance, Brie was allegedly sat near Taylor’s friends and family and almost fell out of her chair. Additionally, the pair were seen talking throughout the night, but neither publicly confirmed it.

The pictures below help confirm that the pair did indeed talk in the previous source. 

Met Gala 2016 

Both Brie and Taylor attended the Gala, but there was no known interaction between the two of them. However, some pictures that surfaced later beg to differ. 

(@jennyboom21)

It’s hard to see what’s going on, I’ll admit. It appears that there is a group of attendees in an elevator. Brie is the figure in the silver dress closest to the man taking the picture. Taylor is behind her, in a similar dress. Her face is much clearer in the mirror reflecting her image. We know this is her because A) this was during her Beachella phase and B) she wore a silver dress that night. 

In addition to this photo, there is a striking similarity between the dresses they both wore that night. Is it possible they might have shared the same styling inspiration?

Source 

(@jennyboom21)

Looking at these photos, it is clear that the two women in silver dresses that were in the elevator were Taylor and Brie. Despite never publicly acknowledging their interaction, it is clear that the two at least shared an elevator that night, and possibly more. 

Alex Greenwald

“In 2013, Greenwald began a relationship with actress Brie Larson. In May 2016, Larson’s representative confirmed that the pair were engaged. On January 10, 2019, it was reported that Greenwald and Larson had called off their engagement.” (Wikipedia). 

Some fans have speculated that Greenwald is not straight. This is not a coincidence per se, but it does point to the supposed use of PR strategies involving Brie’s personal life. 

Similar Styles when playing guitar 

Both Brie and Taylor are fond of posting videos of them playing guitar at home. Their attire in such videos is strikingly similar. Below are some videos of both Brie and Taylor singing. 

Issues by Julia Michaels (@briesonoflars)

Pieces of Us by Mark Ronson and King Princess (@briesonoflars)

Dancing with a Stranger by Sam Smith and Normani (@briesonoflars)

Needy by Ariana Grande (@briesonoflars)

God is a Woman by Ariana Grande (@briesonoflars)

King of My Heart by Taylor Swift (via Youtube)

Both dress in a similar way that some fans have noted is not the way that society perceives a straight woman would dress. 

Association with LGBT Individuals 

Brie hosted SNL with Janelle Monae and is good friends with Tessa Tomphson. Not a connection, but goes to show that she is an LGBT+ ally. 

Taylor is a known friend of many LGBT people and supports many LGBT causes. Just look at the You Need to Calm Down video.

Grace Kelly

Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982) was an American film actress who after starring in several significant films in the early- to mid-1950s became Princess of Monaco by marrying Prince Rainier III in April 1956 (Wikipedia).

This is her in the film Rear Window (1954)

Brie wore a Gucci dress to the LACMA Art and Film Gala on November 2nd, 2019. 

Taylor wore a similar dress in the opening sequence of her Me! Music video. 

Brie cosplayed as Grace Kelly for Cinespia during a showing of the film Rear Window. 

Source (@/brielarson)

Both Brie and Taylor’s outfits above are very similar to Grace in Rear Window. Taylor has previously said that she loves Old Hollywood and it often inspires her style. The dresses the pair wore are an obvious nod to Grace’s iconic dress.

The Archer 

The Archer is a song by Taylor from her most recent album. The song takes the fifth slot on the album, a spot which Taylor reserves for her most emotional songs. Fans have long speculated as to which archer Taylor was referring to, if she referencing a specific one at all. Theories range the character Artemis from Greek Mythology to popular culture with the likes of Katniss Everdeen. The point is, this mysterious archer is significant. 

Brie seems to be incredibly fond of picking up new hobbies, including playing guitar, rock climbing, and most interestingly, archery. Connections were quickly made between a picture posted on Brie’s Instagram story and the message of Taylor’s song. Could Brie be the archer that Taylor sings about?

Styling Choices 

(@/carolmfdanvers via twitter)

Brie attended the LACMA Art and Film Gala on November 2nd, 2019. As shown above, Brie was seen wearing silver cat earrings that had blue eyes. Brie has stated before that she is allergic to cats and does not like them, and reinforced this during her promo for Captain Marvel, because in the film she had a multitude of interactions with a cat, Goose. 

While filming the Me! Music video, there is a scene where Brendon Urie presents Taylor with a small kitten. Taylor later found out that the kitten did not have a home, so she adopted him and named him Benjamin Button, an homage to the story of the same title by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

Benjamin is pictured in the post below (@/TaylorSwift via Instagram). Notable features of the cat are a white coat with brown accents, undeniable cuteness, and striking blue eyes. 

Additionally, for a woman who hates cats, she sure does talk about them a lot. She mentioned cats in an interview on Ellen and in an interview with iMDB she mentioned watching a cat documentary. Perhaps someone has slowly begun to change her mind?

“Captain Marvel but of Music”

Taylor Swift is a mentor on NBc’s “The Voice” this upcoming season. In a promotional video, via NBC’s The Voice Instagram account, Blake Shelton, a judge on the show, referred to Taylor as “the Captain Marvel but of Music”. Why didn’t he call her the “Wonder Woman but of music’? Wonder Woman tends to be people’s go to character when referencing female superheroes. Maybe Taylor told him of her love for the Captain?

Halloween 2019

The link below shows both Taylor and Brie retweeting fans dressed in costumes from their various performances on Halloween. Admittedly, many celebrities are known to do this, but the timestamps of the retweets are oddly close.

Vanity Fair Oscars After Party 2016 

At the 2016 Oscars Brie won an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Room (2015). She was seen attending the Vanity Fair party afterwards. Taylor, who also attended that evening, was seen at the party as well. The article below, via the online publication Hollywood Life, chronicles an interview in which Brie was asked if she stayed out all night. “When Kelly asked Brie if she stayed out all night, she joked that there was no way she stayed out partying with Taylor and Lorde all night.” The original interview was aired on “Live! With Kelly and Michael” on February 29th, 2016.

Kacey Musgraves 

With the release of the Lover album, a multitude of popular artists and celebrities took to social media to express their support for the album. Among them was Kacey Musgraves, a country singer who has made waves in recent years for putting progressive themes in her music. The singer confirmed that she and Taylor were on good terms and promoted the album on her Instagram story. 

Over the summer Brie attended a concert that Musgraves put on. She also covered one of her songs on her Instagram. Six degrees of separation, anyone?

Taylor’s back in the You Need to Calm Down music video 

This is Taylor’s back in the video. 

(@/TaylorSwift via Instagram) 

This is Taylor’s back in 2017 during a performance promoting Reputation. It was hard to find a picture of her back, other than in the music video (above), but I did the best I could. 

(GQ online publication, August 25th, 2017)

The two photos are different. In the first photo, the muscle is far more developed. There is clear definition is the deltoid, trapezius, and latissimus dorsi. Here is a link to a diagram of the muscles in the back. Now, admiditally she could have beefed up a lot in between when the two photos were taken (she was seen at the WeHo gym recently), and fans have noted a slight healthy weight gain between her previous album cycle and the current one. However, The first photo is very similar to Brie’s back. Brie has been hitting the gym a lot, and easily could have the muscle definition in the first photo. 

Now, here are Brie’s back muscles. 

Both were taken in the Spring promotional tour for Avengers: Endgame. The overall shape of her torso and the muscle definition are much more similar to the first photo than Taylor’s is. This observation is in no way meant to body shame Taylor or Brie. It is simply a comparison of their backs pertaining to the You Need to Calm Down music video. 

Taylor on Avengers: Endgame 

An article from AV Club commented on the countdown on Taylor’s Instagram. They theorized that either she was releasing new music or she was really excited to see Endgame. The site even commented on Captain Marvel’s addition to the Avenger’s squad. 

Taylor appeared on the Ellen show last Spring to promote her new album. Ellen asked her what some of the worst theories were regarding fans guesses about the Easter Eggs she planted. Taylor responded that some fans thought she had something to do with beating Thanos in Endgame. Taylor responds that she had nothing to do with the film, but that she had a song coming out the day of the movie release and she had a song from her album Reputation called Endgame.

Emma Stone 

Both Brie and Taylor are good friends with Emma Stone. An idle observer such as myself wonders if they ever hung out together. After all, Hollywood is a notoriously small town.

Commissioned Art

Brie commissioned artist Carly Jean Andrews to do a piece of art for her house. Andrews stated that Brie told her “just do whatever you want”. The piece is of a blonde woman with bangs who is surrounded by butterflies and flowers. Who is another woman we know that fits such a description? Hmm…

The Red Jacket

Both Brie and Taylor were seen wearing a very similar red jacket on separate occasions. Brie wore it to Disneyland and to a meeting at Netflix headquarters. Taylor wore it on an outing when she was papped. It almost seems like it’s the same jacket, because it falls shorter on Taylor than on Brie. This is because Taylor is taller than her. It seems like they are sharing items from their respective closets. 

Silver Earrings

Brie wore some sick earrings while promoting Captain Marvel and Endgame. Who also wore the same exact earrings? Alex Morgan, who is good friends with Taylor. 20 bucks said Alex saw the earrings on Brie, phoned Taylor to ask if she could borrow them. 

Brie’s friends watch the Me! Music Video 

Faye Megan Orlove is a friend of Brie. She is a tarot card reader with the Instagram username @/fayeorlove. During a get together that Brie was at, Faye posted a picture to her Instagram story of them watching the Me! Music video. 

The Rainbow Shirt

Taylor was seen wearing the shirt below at a rehearsal for a Reputation show during Summer of 2018. Brie posted a photo of her in the same shirt. It seems like they dipped into each others closets again, because Brie fills out the shoulders more than Taylor due to her bulking up in the gym. 

USWNT

There has been an ongoing discussion in recent times over the wage gap present between professional male soccer players and professional female soccer players. Many celebrities have joined in on this conversation, especially since the USWNT (United States Women’s National Soccer Team) won the World Cup in the Summer of 2019. Both Brie and Taylor have shown their support for a pay increase for female players via their social media.

Samantha McMillen

Brie’s stylist, Samantha McMillen, has dressed her on many events. The outfit that is most interesting in this context is a giant butterfly she wore at the MTV awards. Who else do we know who loves butterflies? Our baby Taylor. The mural she commissioned is proof enough.

Ace Comicon

At Ace Comic Con 2019 on October 11th through the 13th, during a panel with Tessa Tomphson, Brie made some interesting comments on Captain Marvel, her heroes, and what fans wanted in future Marvel Films. The comment most important to us came when asked who her heroes were, and Brie responded with “All my heroes are pop stars.” Interesting right? Who is a pop star we all know and love? Taylor Swift. 

In what is seemingly a follow up to this comment, Brie dressed as pop star Brittany Spears this most recent Halloween. 

In addition to the panel, Brie participated in a series of meet and greets and autograph signings. Brie asked one fan what they would like to see her cover in the future. The fan responded “Anything from Lover” to which Brie responded “I’ll see what I can do”. 

Among the stars attending Comic con, was Spiderman actor Tom Holland. In one photo set he was seen wearing a hat from Taylor’s Reputation stadium tour. I wonder who hooked him up with the hat?

Unicorn Store x Lover Aesthetics 

During the weeks leading up to the drop of Lover, Taylor’s Instagram account transformed into a series of bright pastel colors, flowers, butterflies, and rainbows. A look through her account from February 10th onwards confirms the aesthetic change. 

The theme of Brie’s movie Unicorn Store has a strikingly similar aesthetic. The movie is all about, you guessed it, unicorns. Watching the movie on Netflix is all the confirmation one needs to see that she was all about rainbows, unicorns, and bright colors in the film.

Fans of both Brie and Taylor were quick to note the similarities between their respective aesthetics, even going so far as to suggest that they coordinated their looks so they would be linked in the public eye. Either way, both aesthetics are bright, happy, and remind the viewer of what a Pride Parade looks like. 

Over the summer it seemed as though the two of them were in a race to see who would come out of the closet first. Taylor would do something gay, then Brie, then Taylor again. Unfortunately, neither of them came out. But, one has to wonder if it was a coordinated effort to generate interest in both of their respective projects.

Someone Great

“Someone Great is a 2019 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The film stars Gina Rodriguez, Brittany Snow and DeWanda Wise. It was released by Netflix on April 19, 2019” (Wikipedia). 

Taylor has stated that this Netflix Original film was the inspiration behind her song Death by a Thousand Cuts. The true muse behind the song is up for debate among skeptics, but it does establish a viewing habit with Taylor. She watched a Netflix Original film, and it impacted her so much that she wrote a song about it. In browsing recommended movies, it is entirely plausible that she would have wandered upon Unicorn Store and decided to watch it. 

The message of the film probably would have resonated with her. In the film, the main character Kit creates art that the general public doesn’t like and is forced to take a desk job to make ends meet. Here she felt like it wasn’t a good fit and she wasn’t truly happy, but was eventually able to find a way that she could express herself through her art. 

This might have resonated with Taylor because she was ridiculed by the general population after a series of songs involving love and breakups, she was forced to stay with Big Machine Records in an attempt to get the rights to her master recordings back, and eventually found a place at the Universal Music Group. The stories are incredibly similar.

Pokemon 

Brie is a giant nerd. This is common knowledge. One of the things she geeks out about is Pokemon. In one instance she retweeted a thread on Twitter called “Brie Larson as Pokemon”. In the movie Detective Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds voices the leading character Pikachu. Who is good friends with Ryan? Taylor. So much so that in her Look What You Made Me Do music video she had Ryan and his wife’s names on a shirt of all her real friends on in one scene.

Source

Gestures 

It is well known that the more time you spend with someone, the more you pick up their gestures and phrases and incorporate them into your life. Fans have noticed several gestures that both Brie and Taylor do that are similar. Maybe it’s because they spend so much time together?

Karlie Kloss 

Brie has hung out with Karlie at several different events over the years. She was in awe of the model and expressed so on her social media. Taylor and Karlie…. I’m not even gonna go there. Go look up a Kaylor masterpost. Chances are if you’re reading this post you already know what they are to each other. But, the model is another link between Brie and Taylor. Perhaps they all hung out and baked cookies together?

Christmas Scenes 

Adorable family Christmas scenes appeared in both the Lover music video and in Captain Marvel. They are shockingly similar. Perhaps they were inspired by a shared Christmas together?

The Green Flannel 

Both Brie and Taylor were seen wearing the same green flannel in videos they posted to their respective social media accounts. Girlfriends sharing clothes again? It seems so. 

Time Post 

Taylor was featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s person of the year issue in 2017. Brie posted a picture of the cover on her Instagram. Obviously, she was voicing her support for the strong women on the cover, but Taylor being on the cover as well is a mighty fine coincidence. 

Haim Sisters

The Haim sisters are good friends of Taylors and could even have been considered a part of her “squad” back in the day. Taylor loves their music and vice versa. 

In 2016 Brie appeared in a Funny or Die skit in which she auditioned to be the fourth member of the Haim sister’s band. Needless to say, her audition was not received well by the sisters, but it was a hilarious video nonetheless.

The Arm 

In 2012, Brie appeared in a short film called The Arm. The director, Jessie Ennis, mentioned the co-director of the film, Sarah Ramos, singing  Long Live, by Taylor, to her after they found out the film was entered into the Sundance Film Festival. The  goes on to express their love for Taylor and how they wished she would notice them.

So what’s the deal with Brie? Is she gay? Because she surely gives off that energy. I liked her since United States of Tara but I never really paid attention with her personal life and activities. I mostly just watch the movies and shows she’s in whenever I find one. I started to pay more attention to her in 2019 because of the Marvel mania and she certainly piqued my interest more because of the whole Tessa thing and the fact that she was parading like a fruity queen. Roflmao. I made a quick google search about her personal life one day when I got bored one time and found out she called off an engagement early that year and then had a make out session with a different dude in a grocery story months later and I just shrugged and moved on. I guess the info that she had a breakup made sense to me because I certainly got the impression that she was having some sort of breakup energy going on with her along with the strong gay energy and thought okay that makes sense and I decided that the make out session with weaselly looking dude was the poor rebound even though Brie doesn’t strike me as someone wastes her time with a rebound. Roflmao. Anywaysz, since the pandemic hit (holy shit I can’t believe we’re in 2 years of covid era), I have been keeping track of her more since I got nothing much to do especially last 2020 and I have to say, I was surprised when I found out that she was still dating the weasel looking dude I thought was her poor rebound. On top of that their relationship looked… so off. Roflmao. That’s when I also vaguely remembered when I watched her win her Oscar years ago, I remembered that her Andrew Garfield lookalike boyfriend looked like her gay bff. They looked so odd together as a couple on tv back then. Roflmao. Found out that was her ex fiance. I actually searched for that video on youtube to make sure if I was remembering correctly and yeah, that relationship looked so off as well so I started to wonder if Brie was hiring merkins all along. Roflmao. I tried to lurk on different places for gossips and I got so turned off shortly after because of bonkers and invasive af theories and immediately. Roflmao. Can’t believe it’s everywhere. I even saw fucking masterposts about Brie’s apparent relationships with whoever chick and there’s even throuples. Roflmao. There’s a lot of crazies who believes everything despite how obvious that it’s all fake and have no basis at all though so whatever the fuck they are snorting, I don’t want it. Roflmao.

Woah okay this is a lot hahaha

But anyway to answer your question, like obviously I have to say that everything is speculation, because Brie herself hasn’t actually confirmed anything. But also, like…. yeah lmao
