030, an empty stretch of road beside a broken down car. For the ship of Mollymauk and Caleb

sunshine (riptide)

Rating: teen

Stranded on the side of the road on the way to a beach cabin, Mollymauk Tealeaf was about abandon his hard won vacation in its entirety.

That was till a handsome stranger offered his assistance.

This was not how Mollymauk imagined his hot girl summer going. 

"Mollymauk—" Beau said over the crackle of his cellphone's shitty reception. "You aren't even—"

"Shush," Mollymauk replied, desperately fanning the smoke from his engine with a swish of his whispy cardigan. Of all the times for Beau to be a contrarian, this was possibly the worst one's. "I'm a girl when I want to be, and if you keep on being mean to me I'm telling Yasha—and then you're on the couch."

Beau complained loudly, but held her tongue, because she knew Mollymauk was right. 

Mollymauk, who would usually take the time to rub that fact in Beau's face— his position as Yasha's forever best friend a status that none could pry from his clawed fingers—was rather too busy at the moment. 

Something popped and spat in his engine. 

He wasn't quite in the mood. 

Before him, his engine gave a terrifying hiss. 

"Beau, please—" Mollymauk implored, ignoring their pissing contest for the moment. His vacation was at stake. "Is my engine going to explode?"

Beau sighed as if she was the one whose precious plans hung by a thread over what was looking like to be a fire—

Yup, holy shit, that was fire. 

Mollymauk yelped, taking a hastily series of steps back as he ripped his cardigan out of the threat of flames. 

He hand embroidered his cardigan, thank you very much, waving it to clear smoke had already been more than a risk he was usually willing to take. 

"You're pic—" Beau's voice warbled. "—tures haven't come through—" Beau complained, the line crackled. "Man—how did you land in the worst reception in Nichodranas—"

"It's on fire," Mollymauk replied, voice boardering on hysterical as the thing with the bits on it in his engine spat flame. 

"It's what?" Beau said after a moment the line faltered completely. "Molly—? What did—you—say?"

Something very flammable caught. The little wosh of flames sending him into his back foot. 

It was about that time where a few things happened silemultaniously. 

One, the pictures Mollymauk sent to Beau as he puzzled over the situation with his car must have finally went through. As Beau's voice raised with a curse indicative of something very wrong (—I told you about the check engine light—). Two Mollymauk, in his haste to grab the little minnie fire estingisher that Beau forced him to carry, he dropped his phone. 

Three—

Well three was when Mollymauk, cursing a blue streak, pulled the pin and triggered the nozzle that just about most of the retardant landed on said phone as Mollymauk doused his engine fire. 

In the aftermath, the evening air was silent. 

"Beau?" Mollymauk asked tentatively. 

Silence. 

"Oh for fucks sake," Mollymauk exclaimed as he knelt in his sandals, the golden thong of his strappy set looked fucking fantastic against his skin tone, but we're a lot less practical for, you know, walking six hours. 

He already had gravel beneath his heel. Mollymauk didn't want to have to deal with any more. No thank you. Not on his first trip without being hovered over by his friends in months. 

His phone was—well, it was drenched, and Mollymauk picked it up with a pinkie and thumb, not too certain how safe it was to touch when covered in fire retardant. 

He wiggled it, in hopes of activating his screen, but it remained dark. 

"Shite," Mollymauk murmured, brow pinched as he looked around the empty stretch of road extending miles in both directions. 

This part of the coast was deserted, as had been the whole damn reason Mollymauk was here in the first place. Nichodranas was a hub, and don't get Mollymauk wrong, he had indulged himself deeply during his three night stay at the Chateau with Jester's mother, chatting and drinking and flirting, but—

A sinking feeling rested in his gut. Mollymauk had decided to make the drive out to Favilla Beach because it was—

Empty. 

The cabin keys shoved into his daisy dukes had never felt so biting. 

Mollymauk had just wanted to enjoy himself—his last batch of surgeries had went well. The pain from his scars was even starting to be a thing of the past and he had wanted to enjoy himself. Flirt with whatever pretty little thing that came his way and maybe spend a few nights between the sheets with them while he was at it. He hadn't had too much luck in Nichodranas itself, but he wasn't sweating it. He rather thought he'd run into a dashing stranger and have the whirlwind romance he deserved. 

The remote beach cabin Mollymauk was set out for was supposed to be a little bit of me time. Rest. Relax without the pressure of getting a fine for public indecency when suntanning nude or taking a dip or two in the ocean. 

Really, that last time in Darktow wasn't Mollymauk's fault. They should have put up better signage. 

Mollymauk's gaze slowly panned across the road, miles of asphalt in both directions—glaringly empty of others. 

When the evening breeze blew past him, Mollymauk couldn't help but shiver, wrapping his flimsy cardigan closer around his middle. 

Night was falling. And usually Mollymauk would be relishing in it. His head tipped back and shades pulled up into the curls on his head as his tiny car sped down the highway, blaring pop music as his head bobbed to the beat. 

Usually he'd be happy, but—

His car smoldered sadly. The emergency tool bag that Yasha had made him carry rested at his feet, ripped apart and useless. 

Along the horizon, Catha and Rudus crested. 

In his pinched grip, his dead phone sat. 

"Fuck me," Mollymauk said, dropping the used fire estinquisher into the bag with huff. He threw his useless phone in a moment later, rubbing his fingers clean on the duffle bag a moment later. What was he supposed to do now?

Walking back to Nichodranas would take him till morning, and he was still thirty kilometres off of the cabin. Six hours on foot. 

Mollymauk cursed, picking up the bag and turning back to his open trunk, shoving it in with a riotous bang as he slammed his trunk closed. Behind him, his tail coiled in agitation. Whipping low and wrathful near his ankles. 

Just his bloody luck. 

The first vacation. The first time away from his friends and hospital stays and the fucking clinic he gets the shite luck of his car breaking down in the middle of fucking nowhere. 

He head butted the top of his trunk in aggravation. 

Mollymauk was so busy feeling sorry for himself that he didn't notice the head lights from behind him till the low rumble of wheels against asphalt was almost upon him. 

Looking up, Mollymauk felt his tail perk, his hand coming to raise above his head before he could think better of it as he flagged down the old beat up truck rolling down the road. Screw being the first five minutes of a forty-eight hours special, Mollymauk wanted off of this road and he wasn't going to get anywhere sitting around. 

The head lights came to a crawl, pulling off a good fifteen metres behind him. 

Mollymauk smiled, flashing teeth as the blinding lights cut. A moment passed and very tentatively a red haired human stepped down from the drivers side of the truck. In the last light of the set sun, he rather thought he'd never seen someone so beautiful. 

"Hey!" Mollymauk called, throwing his hand wide in greeting as he sped walked towards him. "Thank you! I thought I was going to be out here all night!"

That would have been pretty miserable, if Mollymauk was going to be honest, he'd much rather not. 

The man blinked, the strap of his crinkled sun hat rested around his collar as his white drawstring shirt rested cuffed at his wrists. He didn't look anything like a beach goer, nothing like Mollymauk's flashy look; with its multi coloured silk cardigan and bleached booty shorts. 

"You look as if you are in need of some assistance," the man said, his voice a low Zemnian burr as he shuffled towards Mollymauk. He had freckles, Mollymauk noted, a lot of them. All over his face and revealed collar. 

Mollymauk liked freckles. 

"Something happened to the engine," Mollymauk said, a tad abashed that he suddenly realized he had no fucking clue what happened to his own vehicle. Beau hadn't had any time to help before his phone died. "Started making a weird noise—by the time I pulled over there was smoke everywhere—"

The man sent Mollymauk a deeply worried look, stepping closer to him. 

He was taller than Mollymauk by a hand, and Mollymauk suddenly became very aware of the fact that his handsome stranger would be shorter than him if he was wearing his usual pair of heels. 

He'd look good pressed up against something socially—a wall, preferably. 

Mollymauk forced his suddenly coiling tail to wrap around an ankle. 

"Smoking?" His knight in slacks asked. By the Moonweaver he looked like some sort of professor. 

Mollymauk wondered if his shoulders were as broad as they looked underneath his white shirt. 

"It caught a smidge on fire," Mollymauk confessed, following his saviour to the popped hood of his car. His very human saviour. "Oh—shite, my phones dead, I can't use my flashlight—"

A snap of fingers summoned a swell of light. 

"That's a neat trick." And it was, because the errant thought of his handsome stranger being a professor just became all the more realistic. 

Turning to the Wizard beside him, Mollymauk smiled. "Mollymauk Tealeaf, Mr…?"

Licking his lips, a flush staining the nose of his companion became evident. "Caleb Widogast."

"Well then, Caleb," Mollymauk wrapped his lips around the name, tasting it. "I reckon I'm not too certain how you'd be able to help, unless you're a mechanic?"

Perhaps Mollymauk was a tad hopeful on that last bit, but he already wasn't going to hear the end of it from Beau. 

He knew he should have gotten that check engine light looked at. 

"Nein," Caleb said, leaning forward and leaving a delicious impression of his forearms through his shirt visible. "But I can magic a few solutions—Like a phone? Do you want to call anyone while I take a look?"

"That's would be lovely," Mollymauk said immediately, shoulders loosening. Green flag number two. 

Number one was stopping for him in the first place. 

Caleb shoved a hand into his front pocket, pulling it out and handing Mollymauk a simple flip phone. It was very practical and didn't have a screen. 

Mollymauk squinted at it. 

Fussing, and trying to disguise how he wasn't actually too certain what Beau's number was—sue him, he typed it into his phone once and then promptly forgot about it—he raked his memory. The last digit was probably a five. Or a three. 

Stabbing the various combinations in, Mollymauk got two voice mails for people he didn't know, and one disconnected line, Mollymauk finally reached Beau. 

At his engine, Caleb rolled up his sleeves. 

"Hello! It's me!" Mollymauk cheered, speaking over Beau's crotchety who the fuck are you and what do you want— "Not dead, but—uh…"

"Your radiator blew," Caleb said, at the same time Beau said, "Who the fuck is that?"

"Caleb," Mollymauk replied, and he refused to elaborate on principle. "He's saying my radiator blew?"

Beau cursed on the other line. "I told you—"

Mollymauk groaned in the back of his throat. Yes, yes the check engine light. Everyone knew about the check engine light! "I know—can it be fixed?"

Eerily, the two responded at once. "No."

"Ugh," Mollymauk replied in turn. Sighing deeply through his nose. "Okay, okay. It can't be fixed, but I'm going to be fine Beau."

Mollymauk's gaze cut to Caleb's forearms. A bit more academic than what he was expecting, but they were still nicely shaped. Hairy with whispers of auburn. 

Mollymauk licked his lips. 

"If you die by another homicidal maniac taking a knife to you, I'm taking your drugs," Beau told him bluntly. A moment later and Mollymauk could hear the low scolding note of Fjord on the other end. Shaming Beau for her choice of words. 

Mollymauk felt himself flinch. More along his jaw than his body, but— 

"Not in your life," Mollymauk sniffed. "They're willed to Jester and you know it—Put Fjord on. I demand to speak to him—"

"Alright—I'm sorry," Beau told him begrudgingly. The ease of the admission stung more than any insult. How fucking dare she get soft on him, that just won't do— "You're on speaker."

"A very handsome man has come to my rescue," Mollymauk said shamelessly, watching how in the amber of Caleb's lights his ears went red. "So—"

"I will be able to give your friend a ride," Caleb said before Mollymauk could volunteer him. He was a bit glad he offered, to be frank. Mollymauk wasn't afraid of asking, oh no, he could pretty much shamelessly throw himself to his knees, but—

What a gentleman. 

"So you can call off the army you are mustering." Mollymauk shook out his cardigan, stepping to stand beside Caleb and stare into the burnt husk of his car's engine. The motion made his cardigan unfurl, leaving his front open to his wrap shirt and its plunging neckline.

Caleb's eyes, bright baby blue, immediately dropped to the revealed skin. 

A year ago, this would have been a welcomed reprieve. Now, this wasn't not appreciated, just—

Mollymauk's shoulders stiffened. 

Caleb was looking at his sturnum and the cracked mess of scar tissue there. 

Three open heart surgeries would do that to a man—the trauma predating it hadn't helped. 

It was finally getting to the point he could tattoo it, months of rehabilitation so close to finally getting him where he wanted. 

Mollymauk wasn't self conscious of the mark, he refused to be—you couldn't afford self consciousness when one was a tiefling, let alone as one as colourful as Mollymauk, but he was weary. 

People had mixed reception. Potential bed partners especially. 

He hadn't exactly struck gold once his shirt had come off in Nichodranas. 

Caleb didn't send him a pitying look, or advert his eyes. He simply catalogued the frankly garish scar with a calculated sort of contemplation, and then moved on. 

He reached up and carded a errant curl behind his ear. 

Caleb's forearms, upon closer inspection, were scarred. Thin white lacerations that he hadn't been able to see till he was this close. Numerous and evident with knotted scar tissue. 

Mollymauk felt his shoulders ease, a small smile tucked onto the corner of his lips. That move was just a bit to overt to be casual. A silent, sweet, action. 

He felt heat bubble in his belly. 

"Are you certain?" Fjord asked, a wordless check in. 

"Never been more certain in my life," Mollymauk said imperiously. He had a handsome man who came to his rescue who didn't immediately turn around once he saw Mollymauk's chest. 

Caleb was a keeper. 

"My phones broke," Mollymauk said, blinking the delightfully images his mind conjured of the two of them. "So call me back on this number—okay?"

A bit presumptive, but Caleb didn't seem to mind, nodding along with him as he wiped the sooty oil from his hands on the front of his slacks. Messy. 

Mollymauk liked it. 

"Molly—" Fjord started. 

"Okay, gotta go, love you," Mollymauk sang into the receiver, clicking the end call button. Truly. How quaint. 

Caleb smiled at him. Small and far too handsome. 

"Where would you like to go?"

"Well," Mollymauk said, tail curling loosely around his ankles. "There's this beach cabin, lovely view, very…personable. If you're free for the weekend?"

For good measure, Mollymauk rather shamelessly wiggled his eyebrows. He wanted no mistake as to where he wanted this to be going. 

Caleb nodded slowly, abashed. "I-I mean if you are open to the thought of company—It would not be fair to leave you with no way back to Nichodranas."

Mollymauk nodded seriously, tail rapping merrily against his ankle bone. 

This might not be quite the hot girl summer he imagined, but standing here in the expanding twilight on this dark stretch of road, he couldn't help but think that something spectacular was happening. 

"Then come on," Mollymauk said, grabbing his bag from the front seat and the cooler he packed his food in. "Let's get going." 

Caleb's ruddy blush had grown, but he was smiling just the right hint of boyishness to make Mollymauk think he agreed. 

He was even enough of a gentleman to get Mollymauk's door for him. 

a/n: then they fuck for the rest of the weekend and Mollymauk gets a cute Wizard as a boyfriend. This was a lovely ask! Thank you!!! (You can also read on ao3!)

Understanding Bright Things and Kind Hearts

the fic about this sweet sunshine is the one with the most warnings. i have too many thoughts on kalim. he takes up too much space in my brain. him and jamil both, hate these two so much /j

Understanding the Housewarden of Scarabia

(thoughts in the head of a self-proclaimed expert on the subject, or at least trying to be an expert)

i. Accept that Kalim Al-Asim is a lot to handle.

There are many ways to describe the housewarden of Scarabia, Kalim Al-Asim. He is cheerful, excitable, endlessly kind. But he can be overwhelming.

Kalim enters the room the way fireworks enter the night sky: bright, loud and impossible to ignore. He moves like the sunlight bursting though a storm. And once he notices you, once his focus lands on you like a beam of light, there is no escaping. Not that he would ever trap you, per se, it's just that Kalim's enthusiasm is like a riptide and once you're caught you might as well go along with it.

"Prefect!" His voice rings across the hall, his voice startling nearby students. You only have a few seconds to brace yourself before he is upon you, eyes lit with excitement. "You have to come to Scarabia tonight! We're having a feast, and you are invited."

You open your mouth to respond, but he barrels on before you get the chance.

"Wait, did I invite you yesterday?" He pauses for one second, then waves a hand dismissively. "You should come again anyway! We have so much food, and I can ask the kitchen to make whatever you like! Ooh–" He suddenly leans in, eyes shining as if he just had the most brilliant idea in the world. "What’s your favourite dish? I’ll have Jamil make a whole platter just for you!

We just got a shipment of fruits from the Scalding Sands," he continues, his hands gesturing wildly. "They’re supposed to be super sweet, but also a little tangy, and also really juicy, so I definitely want you to try them–"

"Kalim," you say, voice a bit louder, placing a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to slow him down.

He stops immediately, tilting his head. "Yes?"

"First of all, breathe."

He blinks, then lets out a quick laugh and does, in fact, take a breath.

"Secondly," you continue, raising an eyebrow, "calm down."

Kalim nods.

"You should come to the feast," he insists, now bouncing on the balls of his feet. "It wouldn’t be the same without you!"

Before you can formulate an actual excuse—though, really, there isn't one, because when Kalim invites you somewhere, it’s more of an enthusiastic assumption than a question, and you find it difficult to say no to him—Grim speaks up.

"Free food?" Grim’s ears twitch. "We're going, hench-human!"

"See?" Kalim says, clapping his hands together. "Grim gets it!"

Grim puffs up proudly.

And just like that, the matter is settled. Kalim flashes you a blinding smile, as if you’ve done something wonderful simply by agreeing to him. He then begins ushering you down the hall, already talking about all the dishes you just have to try.

You sigh, resigned but amused.

There is no arguing with Kalim Al-Asim. There is only keeping up.

ii. Kalim is not naive. He just refuses to be anything but kind.

There is an assumption people make about Kalim Al-Asim.

It’s an easy one, and you understand why they make it.

Because Kalim is bright. He is the kind of person who welcomes everyone with open arms and never seems to expect anything in return. His generosity is effortless, his trust given freely, his forgiveness even freer. He greets the world with the boundless enthusiasm.

And this is why people assume he is naive.

You did, too, once.

The realization doesn’t hit you all at once.

It only clicks when Grim, disgruntled and munching on yet another plate of Scarabia’s food, grumbles, "I don’t get it. Doesn’t he know people are using him?"

He doesn’t sound particularly concerned, more confused, really. Like he’s watching a mouse walk into a cat’s open mouth and wondering why it hasn’t run away yet.

You don’t know how to answer him. You’ve wondered the same thing. You’ve seen it happen yourself, the way people flock to Kalim when they need something, the way they sing his praises.

And Kalim, warm and trusting as ever, lets them.

So you ask him.

"Kalim," you start carefully. "Do you ever wonder if people only stick around because they want something from you?"

He blinks, surprised by the question. Then he laughs, all light and easy. "Oh, sure! Happens all the time."

You stare at him, quite dumbfounded. "You know?"

"Of course I know!" He grins at you, as if this is obvious. "I mean, I’m not dumb. I can tell when people are just being nice because they want a favour. Or money. Or gifts." He shrugs, unconcerned.

"So why do you still… you know, go along with it?" You frown.

Kalim leans back, the jewellery around his arms catching the light.

"Because it doesn’t really matter," he says simply. "If I have something I can give, why not give it? If someone’s hungry, I’ll feed them. If they need help, I’ll help. Maybe they only see me as a way to get things, but if I have something to give, I will."

He turns his head to look at you then, eyes bright and unwavering.

"Besides," he says, softer now, "I don’t want to be the kind of person who stops being nice just because other people aren’t."

You don’t know what to say.

Because Kalim does not say this with bitterness. There is no resentment in his voice, no anger in the way he speaks. There is only certainty that he is doing what he thinks is right.

Perhaps it's best you say nothing.

And that’s when you realize that Kalim’s kindness isn’t something fragile or foolish. It isn’t a weakness. He chooses kindness, over and over again, no matter how many times people take advantage of it.

Not because he doesn’t see but because he does.

You like that about him.

iii. If Kalim likes you, you will know.

Kalim cannot hide it when he likes someone.

You don’t notice it at first. Or rather, you chalk it up to Kalim just being Kalim.

The invitations to Scarabia? Those happen all the time, and to plenty of people. The food set aside just for you? Well, Kalim is generous, surely, he does this for others, too. The way he brightens whenever you enter the room? Kalim brightens for a lot of things.

It isn’t until Jamil sighs, pinches the bridge of his nose, and mutters, "This is getting ridiculous," that you even think to reconsider.

"Getting ridiculous?" you echo, watching as Kalim darts across the Scarabia common room, almost tripping in his haste to meet you.

"You’ll see," Jamil says, sounding both resigned and vaguely amused.

You do see.

You see it when he practically vibrates with excitement whenever you’re near, how he always tries to be near you, how his laughter always seems louder when it’s directed at something you said. You see it in the way he lights up at the smallest things you do. You see it when he brings you gifts, although way too extravagant for you. But there are gifts that are more personal too. A flower he thought you’d like, a trinket that reminded him of you, a sweet treat he got just because he knew you’d enjoy it.

So, Kalim does not know how to hide things—not his happiness, not his excitement, and certainly not his affections.

You start to wonder how you hadn’t noticed it before.

"Kalim," you say, watching him eagerly.

"Yeah?" He beams.

You tilt your head. "Do you treat all your friends like this?"

Kalim pauses, blinking at you. Then he grins, as bright as the desert sun.

"Well, I try to make everyone happy, but–" He stops, then scratches his head, looking a little sheepish. "I guess I do a bit more for you."

"Why?" you ask, already knowing the answer but wanting to hear him say it.

"Because I like you!" Kalim exclaims, beaming. "You’re amazing, and I want to make you happy! Why wouldn’t I?"

Your heart stumbles over itself.

Because, of course he would say that. Of course, Kalim wouldn’t dance around the truth, he wouldn’t hesitate.

You don’t know what to say.

Kalim doesn’t seem to need a response, though, already launching into a story about something that happened earlier that day, eyes sparkling, hands animated.

And you sit there, warmth blooming in your chest, feeling a little overwhelmed and a little breathless and a lot happy.

iv. Kalim is cheerful even if he is upset.

Kalim does not lie. He simply deflects.

But you do start noticing certain things about this behaviour.

A bad day becomes not so bad, according to him. A problem becomes nothing to worry about. A betrayal becomes it is okay Jamil, even if Jamil overblotted and wanted him to die. He simply brushes past them before they have the chance to take root in his mind and consume his thoughts and actions.

The next time you notice it, it’s during a harmless conversation. Or at least, you assume it is, because Kalim is laughing, tossing back his head.

It’s only when the other student leaves that you realize something is off.

Kalim’s laughter fades too quickly. His shoulders droop a little. Then he turns to you, grinning as if nothing happened, ready to move on.

And you, well, you could move on. You could let the moment slip by, the way Kalim clearly wants it to. You could pretend.

Instead, you sit beside him.

He glances at you, curious and still smiling.

You don’t address it directly. You don’t ask, Are you okay? or Did that bother you? Because Kalim, being Kalim, would wave it off and you didn't want to be brushed off. Instead, you say, "That wasn’t a very nice thing for them to say."

Kalim blinks at your words. His smile doesn’t waver, but it stills.

Then he laughs, shaking his head. "Ah, it’s fine! It wasn’t–" He stops, eyes flicking to your expression, and then tries again. "It’s not a big deal."

You nod, as if accepting that. And maybe you are. Maybe it isn’t a big deal. But you’re not going to brush past it just yet.

"They wouldn’t have said it if they thought you’d get mad," you point out, watching him carefully. "They knew you’d let it slide."

Kalim hums, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He fidgets the jewellery on his arms, then shrugs. "I guess?"

"You really don’t mind?"

He hesitates. Then, softly, he says, "I don’t like it. But getting upset won’t change anything, right?" He grins, lopsided this time. "If I don’t make it a big deal, then it won’t be one."

There’s something almost childlike in that logic, and yet, it is so very Kalim.

After a pause, you say, "I think you should at least be allowed to be annoyed."

Kalim looks at you, blinking in surprise. "Hmm?"

"If something bothers you, I think you should be able to say it." You lean back, bracing your weight on your hands. "Even if it doesn’t change anything, doesn’t it feel better to just… say it out loud?"

Kalim tilts his head, considering. He looks thoughtful. And then, hesitantly, he mutters, "That guy was kind of rude."

You nod, solemn, but a smile still breaks through because he does not sound upset or angry. "Yeah. He was."

Then, suddenly, he laughs.

"You said it like it's a guilty secret. It's okay though, at least you said it," you say.

"Thank you!"

And he is back to being normal again.

v. There will be no guidebook on him. He is not a puzzle to solve. He is a person to cherish.

At some point, you stop trying to figure out Kalim Al-Asim.

It’s not that you understand him perfectly now, not that you have decoded some great mystery surrounding him. It’s just that, somewhere along the way, you realize that there was never a mystery to begin with.

Yet, that doesn’t make him simple.

People mistake brightness for shallowness. They see Kalim’s open hands, his easy laughter, his warmth, and they assume there is nothing deeper to find. They do not look for the moments in between.

And maybe that is the real lesson here.

So, there is no guidebook to Kalim Al-Asim.

Kalim Al-Asim isn’t a mystery to be solved.

He is a person to be loved.

And, somehow, he has chosen to love you, too.

Pokémon Fic Recs

Because I read a lot of fics and am always on the prowl, so I felt like sharing a non exhaustive rec list under read more. Feel free to add recs on reblog if you want!

Savoir-Faire: To Know and To Do -  This is the one. If there is a fic I beg everyone to read it's this. multi-chapter but not that long PLEASE do it. MC of an alternate XY was cursed by rampaging Legendaries with immortality. 10 years later, jaded Marguerite Linden du Bois is finishing her paper on Pokémon World Sociology, taking a newbie trainer for the road. Read for Humanities Things, Ghost-Types, the apathetic weight of immortality, worldbuilding, the workings of Pokémon League, Research Assistant Darkray, Royalty and more. I am begging you to read it.

Ashes of the Past - Peggy Sue fic where Cyrus destroyed the world and Arceus decided the best way to deal with that was send Ash back to the start of his journey (after some Aura training). Saphroneth writes fights *amazingly*, specially around Orange Island, where he took a break and came back with a glow-up. Fic is dead now, but consider reading, if nothing else, the Suicune or the Tobias Fight.

A professor and student + The 48 - I have this unproved feeling there is an overkill amount of “Ash is traumatized after Kalos" but this is The one about it. Kukui takes care of Ash in Alola and helping the boy set some boundaries and stuff. This and the wider “The 48” series are amazing Ash, and you can find great longer fics and one-shots alike here. Adults but not grown-ups (Alola Supporting Cast one-shots) and Left Behind (Ash and a Future Ash end up swapping time places during XY while brock is visiting) are real stand-outs. 

You Thought - Aliens invaded and took over the Pokémon World, but actual Pokémons still give them trouble. The premise may seem weird, but it is a means for amazing descriptions of how even the common Meowth could be terrifying and disruptive for an outside-context watcher.

A home can be found - Lillie during and after OG SM, finding a new family with Kukui, Bunet and her friends.

What the Sun Leaves Behind - Hau is inheriting Hala’s spot as kahuna after the latter died, and Gladion shows up to give him a pep talk when Hau runs off into the woods from nerves. It is tagged as Hau/Gladion but it is really a platonic deal.

A Little Bit of Maschiff - Juliana decides that getting a Maschiff of her own is the perfect thing for her friendship with Arven. She gets more than she bargained for, with Arven helping her tame the wretched beast.

The Clues - isshushipping. 5+1 One-Shot Fic of N being In Denial about Team Plasma during BW.

colder in the summertime - One-shot. Morty is cursed. Read for pretty boys in cold fever, nosebleeds, exhaustion, the whole shish-kebab.

Read It Now.

Collateral - Faller!Touya, and the International Police helping him, while his friends try to find him. Sad. Great.

Pinky Promise - Gloria/Hop One-Shot. Hop fighting for dear life to get Gloria a Christmas Gift.

Massive “The Kids Are Doing Fine” energy. Adorable.

The Earth, the Sky and the Sea - An enigmatic narrator retells and expands the Hoenn Weather Trio story. Excellent atmosphere. 

HIS2435: Sinnohan Myths and Legends - Cynthia giving a College-level History Class. Chaos Mayhem Etc. Lots of author touches and headcanons and references but can be comfily (and hilariously) read on its own.

Masahop/Train shipping section (I may have a problem)

Do you believe in love at first sight? - Hop getting a crush on Gloria, slowly realizing over the years he’s actually in Love with Victor. Vic is the MC/Champion. The fic has a charmingly unique Victor (chronically ill/frail immune system - Hop gets to care for his health a Lot it’s cute), and feels very Earnestly Adorable in Hop’s bisexual crisis. writer is requesting feedback so please give them some love!

Kiss Your Neo Champion - Hop got his Neo Champion clothes. He has a boyfriend. What is not clicking

Sunshine Riptide - Instead of Words, I’ll put these excerpts here:

[the-obnoxious-sibling]

Oooh how about top 5 favorite OP ships and characters? And Top 5 songs you've listened to this year?

(put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer)

top ships… well, number one should be pretty obvious.

shuggy - if i need to explain why, you have not spent much time on this blog, lol.

sanuso - you can blame beanie for this one, i vaguely thought they were cute before i followed her & ✨saw the light✨

zotash - tbh i'm not sure whether i still ship these two romantically, but i am always gonna be obsessed with their dynamic and hungry for more scenes between them, so they belong on the list.

frobin - yeah, it’s kinda basic, but imo that’s because it’s kinda obvious? that train ride to enies lobby, man—i’m still not over it. plus, the addams family vibes fanon entertains me.

hm. i feel like i’m forgetting a pair i’m really into. i like namivivi, i’m intrigued by crochawk, but neither one has a real tight grip on me atm. well, i can’t think of another ship, so i guess those two can share fifth place.

favorite characters! i’ve done a top 3 before, but top 5 gets a little trickier.

buggy

usopp

tashigi

luffy

ace

a couple strawhats should be ranked above ace if i’m being honest, but my marineford re-reads have had me getting weepy over ace, so he’s getting a tenderheart boost.

as far as songs go… i don’t use a service like spotify that monitors my most listened tracks or anything, so this is just broad guessing on my part.

something by mitski. i suspect if i could get the data for a top ten, she’d make up half of it—and only partly because i kept listening to her songs while trying to figure out which lyrics to use for my fics. “i’m your man” has the lyrics i think about the most, but “your best american girl” has been on my mind lately for… obvious reasons. (lmao, just remembered while pulling that link up that my reasons for lingering on “i’m your man” are similarly obvious.)

something by jack de quidt. the soundtracks they’ve composed for friends at the table’s various campaigns, one-shot games, and friends-of-the-show’s podcasts’ theme songs are all very good instrumental listening. the marielda album is a long-time favorite, while sangfielle and palisade are two recent albums of very different kinds of eerie music.

something off M A N I A. that album’s been my most played every year since it came out in 2017, oof, every song is at least danceable if not a bop. i’ve wanted a deadpool vid set to “wilson (expensive mistakes)” for so long, and a castiel vid set to “sunshine riptide” for longer.

something by abba. not sure what got me back on the abba train—the one song episode about gimme gimme gimme? the let’s learn everything episode about eurovision? generalized mamma mia nostalgia? whatever it was, i’ve been relistening to their music a lot this year. love a pop band with good harmonies.

”speeding cars” by imogen heap. she played this song during her npr tiny desk concert in 2019 and it absolutely made my week. no idea how i found this 2006 b-side, let alone listened to it so much that it produced that kind of reaction a decade later, but there you have it.

Summer Loving (BTS, HP & Stranger Things fics)

Stories that make you feel like dancing on a table or standing in the warm summer wind with closed eyes, taking a deep breath and that moment for yourself~

*Complete fem or non-specific reader insert fics* Upd: 16.04.2024

BTS

Only yesterday by Borathae - Yoongi x Reader Your life in a small countryside village was nothing of the extraordinary, you owned a quaint little teashop, enjoyed warm evenings in your garden and liked taking walks by the river. One day a handsome stranger moves in the abandoned cottage opposite side of the river and it is not long that he becomes a source of comfort in your life.

Sunshine Riptide by jincherie - platonic hybrid!BTS x human!Reader Moving to this island whose inhabitants are mostly hybrids was a bit of an impulse decision, something you did with empty pockets, barely a cent to your name. Thanks to the kindness of the island’s ‘mayor’ you have a place to stay, the last spare room in a sharehouse with seven hybrids, and for three months he will pay your rent in exchange for you to work in his shop until you are back on your feet.

Fish are friends by httpjeon- seahorse hybrid!Taehyung x human!Reader After moving to the seaside, there is a dreadful storm. When all is clear, a man washes up on shore...only he isn’t quite human.

Golden Hour by snackhobi - Hoseok x witch!Reader You’d thought yourself content in your loneliness and accepted your place in the world. Then Hoseok—holding the power of the sun in his hands and his smile—stepped into your life.

Heliophile by alilbihh- alien!Hoseok x human!Reader helio·phile, noun (pluralheliophiles) 1. A lover of the sun

Snapshot by xjoonchildx - Hoseok x gf!Reader After a day at the beach, Hoseok has some surprises in store for his longtime love.

Bloom by beahae - Jimin x gf!Reader Just a perfect summer evening with the loveliest person you know.

August by alpacaparkaseok - Short blurb about Jimin embodying the month August.

Jungkook drabble by onlyswan [fluffy bicycle date]

Oceans: Down the sea + Oceans: I'll carry you by bonny-kookoo - pirate!Jungkook x siren!Reader Every ship is alive; with memories, it's crew, its captain, and sometimes- even its past.

HARRY POTTER

Lay all your love on me by themessedupsonata - Sirius x Reader Sirius has always been your friend, but he falls in love with you and decides to confess his feelings at the sound of ABBA at a party.

STRANGER THINGS

Helping out stressed Steve at Scoops Ahoy by ilovetulips - gf!Reader

Mine by forevermoreharrington - Steve x Reader Summer break spent with Steve who’s secretly lovesick for his favourite girl.

I get mystified by forevermoreharrington - Steve x shy!Reader A summer day with Steve.

The law of seat partners by runningupthatvecna - Eddie x Reader You're going on a high school field trip with your friends and thankfully a long haired metalhead is also there to keep you company and ease the pain of being around obnoxious children.

A scoop of misunderstandings by taintedcigs - Eddie x Reader Eddie is really enamored with the new Scoops Ahoy worker and is jealous of how her and Steve get along so well.

Outside your window by bettysupremacy - Steve x gf!Reader Summer was good for 3 things. The beach, ice cream, and Steve.

Making flower crowns for Eddie/Steve by kaylawritesfics

Lose yourself a little by majestyeverlasting - Eddie x gf!Reader Prompt: Tugging a flower onto the side of their head and, oh god, are they pretty.

I don’t want to think of anything else now that I thought of you by forevermoreharrington - Steve x Reader Steve starts enjoying working at Scoops Ahoy when a pretty girl starts coming in.

Love story by forevermoreharrington -shy!soft!Reader Summer 1990, Steve's been living in the country his whole life, when suddenly there's this new girl and Steve's instantly infatuated with her.

Ahoy! by violetrainbow412-blog In some timeline, Starcourt didn't burn down and Eddie was able to go to work selling ice cream. He and Steve make a little bet, from which Eddie comes out happy.

Fave fall out boy songs from each albums??

thank you sooo much for the ask, this was super fun to think about!

TTTYG- this is my favorite album, admittedly boosted severely by the sense of its personality/history. like if fob was some random nobody band i probably wouldn’t even like most of these songs (does that make sense?) anyways i love love loveeee chicago is so two years ago. saturday is great for what it represents- in two weeks patrick was going to graduate and be right by pete’s side. tell that mick is also a fun one in the sense that i adore the visual of angry baby patrick writing out his deepest darkest most misogynist thoughts after a breakup. like aw, you’re so angry there buddy. is it someone’s naptime?

FUTCT- they were right to make sixteen candles a single that song slaps so incredibly hard. snitches and talkers is another favorite for angry baby patrick lovers as mentioned earlier. and in what may?? be the hottest take in this post i fucking love the dance dance remix. i’m telling you it’s such a bop; it was in my spotify wrapped because i used it as my go-to song while walking to work.

IOH- i ended a friendship because i sent them i’m like a lawyer and they responded with ‘this song is weird’. been listening to you’re crashing but you’re no wave a lotttt recently, but most of that is bbb fic inspo. doesn’t mean it hits any less though.

Folie- she’s my winona is my favorite fob song oat, i will not be accepting criticism of any kind. what a catch is really really good but also really really overrated (again, if that makes any sense).

SRAR- miss missing you and the mighty fall. don’t really care for this album tbh but at least i can see why someone might really like all of it.

AB/AP- irresistible. that’s it. one good song off the entire album. fight me about this idc. and even then they had to ruin it with that awfulllllll demi lovato remix + hellish nightmare mv

Mania- last of the real ones, hold me tight or don’t, wilson, and bishops knife trick are all genuinely good. honorable mention goes to sunshine riptide with it’s godly 30 second opening that it then decided to absolutely waste.

SMFSD- what a time to be alive makes me feel happy and i am not ashamed about it.

FERN'S WIP WEEKEND GAMES

Hey y'all! Let's force each other to work on our WIPs, even if it's just to talk about them or think about them!

EACH WIP WEEKEND RUNS FROM FRIDAY 5PM UTC-5 TO SUNDAY 11:59PM UTC-5

To participate, reblog with up to 5 filenames of your WIPs, and also which games you want to participate in this weekend (example at the bottom of this post).

Each game is basically replying to asks about your WIPs in different ways! For that reason, please make sure to search the reblogs to find other players - send them an ask, keep the game going, force each other to work on their WIPs!

If you see this, you are invited to play, even if you weren't tagged!

There are 3 different games. You can play all of them, or only the ones you like best:

1) Three by Threes: The OG WIP Wednesday game. For each filename you receive in your ask box, reply to the ask with 3 NEW sentences on that WIP. Then, send 3 asks to other WIP Weekend players!

2) Lore Corner: Answer questions about your WIP. It can be anything from headcanons to backstory that you have for your WIP that don't even make it into the fic. Askers - get creative with your questions! (If you are playing Lore Corner, please give a single-sentence description of each of your WiPs so askers have some context)

3) Moodboard Mania: Make a moodboard for your WIP! Askers can also specify a moment or a character-specific moodboard relating to your WIP so that you're not making the same moodboard over and over.

————————

I'm not playing this weekend, however will be sending asks to whoever is playing <3

[sleepless-in-starbucks]

new fanfic genre: chaotic fluff

because whenever I hear fluff I think. actual fluff. I think soft and tender and sweet. and that’s cool and everything but it’s not like h/c has a monopoly on action-

I’m talking running through green fields while golden sunlight burns your back as you chase someone you love, I’m talking ugly and fast spinning in the kitchen as if it counts as a dance, I’m talking jumping off cliffs and slamming into sparkling blue waters laughing as you fall, I’m talking mischievous smiles and tricky pranks, I’m talking fluff but it’s LOUD and it’s BRIGHT like sunshine- because the sun may be warm but that doesn’t make it soft
