#friend: vasche

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

This looks incredibly cheesy but I also didn’t want to draw a proper background so the candle flames are staying XD (And also looks like the cover to an adult novel oops. Sorry Alec, you belong on cheesy over-the-top book covers now)

Either way I love @resonatingfern‘s Vasche and as a character he’s super cool! And getting to draw two fanged men is always fun!

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

This was SO good and so sweet and it's lovely to read your writing again! I couldn't help it but I got the bug to try and scribble a little comic to go along with this! I couldn't capture the inner monologues or more subtle emotions but this was just too lovely and I had to draw this!

Ello! For those prompts, "❛ a sky full of stars, and i’d still watch you. ❜" is just really pretty sounding for anyone you want to write about!

You know I had to figure out how to make Vasche say something romantic while still sounding like Vasche! Alec is yours, of course!

-

“You’re not looking at the sky?”

Alec’s question came from Vasche’s side, where the other man was tucked beneath his wing.

“I’ve seen the sky thousands of times,” Vasche explained, a hint of impatience creeping through his voice. “And I’ve seen it in places and times much better than this. I don’t care about the moon or stars or how beautiful they’re supposed to be anymore.”

He sighed, letting the annoyance drop away to be replaced by something softer. His gaze shifted, now fully ignoring the view in favor of what was right in front of him. After so many years, such long, deep, dreamless sleep, he’d found something more spectacular than the whole expanse of the sky above.

“A sky full of stars, and I’d still rather watch you.”

Vasche watched the change in Alec’s posture, first tightening, like he intended to curl away and hide from the words; then softening, relaxing into comfort found nestled under Vasche’s wing. He wondered not for the first time why Alec’s first instinct was to recoil from kindness, and vowed yet again to destroy whatever the cause was, once he found out.

“That’s romantic, coming from you.” Alec chanced a peek up at Vasche’s face, the ghost of a playful smile hovering along his lips.

“I am sometimes,” Vasche replied, and pulled his wing in tight, bringing Alec closer to his side with it. “To people who deserve it.”

Alec made a sound somewhere between a laugh and sigh. He might not believe it yet, but Vasche had a very, very long time ahead of him to change his mind.

So, We've seen most of the Germanic countries being related to Gilbert as family like Switzerland, Lichtenstein,Germania etc. but what about the other canon German states such as Hesse, Bavaria, Saxony and others? are they maybe cousins or do they just not exist in the AU? -Sorry if someone already asked this question, I'm also curious to see how you would draw the German states if you haven't already :)

they DO exist, i haven’t drawn them much!! they’re gil and lud’s cousins, 

(vasch and lilli are roderich’s family’s friends.)

[Italian Customs]: Fare lo struscio/le vasche

Italian piazzas and streets located in the so-called "centro storico" of a city/town are wonderful places where to meet people. 🙋🙌🙆 Due to the usual warm weather, we aren't forced to meet in closed environments all the time and so we take advantage of the previous mentioned locations.

In Italy it's customary to walk up and down the designated places (piazzas, centri storici, streets) with a group of friends and consequently meet other people to chat with🚶🚶 This "practice" is called with different names according to the area of Italy you find yourself in: 👉 In Northern Italy it's called "fare le vasche" (it's how we say "to swim a length/do a lap" in Italy when we go to the pool...we also use this expression in this context to recall the act of going up and down the same route); 👉 In Central and Southern Italy it's called "fare lo struscio" ( translatable as "to shuffle", but not quite ).

Corellian News Briefs (6-20-19)

Corvette crashes off the coast of Vreni Island!

Sphyrna-class corvette 'hijacked' CorSec intervention prevents tragedy. The corvette now resides along the beautiful Vreni Island beach (that has reportedly lowered property values).

Originally en route to Corellia carrying a diplomatic Envoy the Resolute broadcasted a distress signal late yesterday evening. CorSec has informed us they had dispatched a team to investigate, lead by Blue Sector Lieutenant Kora Starhunter.

Much of the report detailing the events on-board have not yet been declassified, however an internal source inside the blue sector department has alleged that it was a small group of Imperial Remnants, supposedly one of them having survived the ordeal.

Later that evening many of the townsfolk of Vrenii Island reported sighting the incoming atmospheric disturbance, windows were smashed from the loud sounds of the crashing cruiser we asked a local who said "I was just sitting on my balcony, cracked a cold beer and realized I may just die, thankfully the Jedi handled the situation perfectly and escorted us out of the projected crash area before doing that space magic they're known for and what looked like redirecting the crash"

Another citizen from one of the beach front properties who did not receive notice of the evacuation said "I was enjoying my time at the beach, you know Vreni has the best beach in this system.. when we suddenly saw the ship landing.. it was loud, and it splashed water all over the place.. then we saw those coming out of it.. we thought they were filming a holomovie or something.. it was amazing

Upon contacting the Jedi Temple, we met with Taaj Ousan, one of the masters on the council who said "We received a request to aid, as the ship was coming fast towards the city. With the aid of the force, we manage to direct the ship towards the beach.. and prevent it from crashing in the middle of the city"

Corsec Lieutenant Starhunter who lead the operation had this to say when contacted by our media department "The Investigation is currently ongoing, as such we cannot disclose much information apart from the fact clean up crews are working in partnership with the Republic, let's all just be thankful there was no further loss of life in this ordeal, and let's hope that the lasting environmental impact on the coastline is low" 

The Republic has dispatched a small team along with equipment to aide in the salvage operations, as they feel partly responsible.

________________________________

Confederation declares the fuel crisis to be over.

   Today, in a historic act of government action, Corfed Councilor, Victoria Scatter, signs grants to end the fuel crisis. Victoria Scatter, also running in the Prime Minister Election, decides to not await the outcome of the votes, but instead, takes action and ends the fuel crisis by signing grants offered to the Corellian Government by the Vasch Foundation. Her words to the people : "On this day, this grant will help our planet finally take steps to end this fuel crisis." - Victoria Scatter - Corfed

   The documents, written up by the Corellian Government, were signed by Victoria Scatter, and the newly appointed Minister of Trade, Azaria Hex. A promise to the people was made that the effects of these grants would be noticed Immediately upon it taking effect. As well, in the words of Miss Scatter, ""I would like to remind the citizens of the five planets that this is a grant, so this doesn't take money away from the government. There will be no rise in taxes on our citizens." How the grant will end the crisis remains to be seen, but if the promises are kept, we can expect great things.

   What does this mean to the people, business, and outside trade? Lower fuel costs and no new taxes! It doesn't matter what language you speak, those words are like song to the ears.

________________________________

Sith complex assaulted by unknown attackers!

CorSec is investigating reports that the Sith compound in the Blue Sector was attacked by an unknown party.  All they would tell us at this time is that the unknown party was well funded and that they believe they are not native to Corellia.

Some concerns have spread that this unknown party could launch attacks against other organizations in the area.

________________________________

CorSec and the Jedi deal a major blow to the Scourge..

[JuJu : Red Circle Gang Leader]

Jedi and CorSec forces managed to engage the Red Circle Gang on Rhen Var and capture their leader “JuJu”.   The Red Circle Gang was one of several who make up the Scourge.  It is said that the Gang has disbanded as result.

[ Nenthus Rordul : Bofa Treat Gang Leader ]

CorSec could not disclose anything they may have learned from JuJu but did inform us he was killed in prison when Bofa Treat Gang Boss Nenthus Rordul snapped his neck.  The Bofa Treat Gang is also a member of the Scourge so perhaps there was some fallout..  Rordul is expected to be sentenced soon, this latest action adding to a long list of offenses.

________________________________

Propaganda spreading in the Blue Sector.. 

Someone has been circulating a pamphlet which takes shots at many including CorSec, the Mandalorians and others.. it reads..

___

CORSEC ROADBLOCKS ARE SCAM BLOCKS!?

CorSec have been placing checkpoints up throughout Blue Sector without so much as a word! Holding citizens and individuals at ransom for these supposed "safe checks". Since when has marshal law come to Blue Sector? Reports claim they are just 'doing there job' but a recent attack against the Hyperdrive suggests otherwise. As a group of armed individuals terrorized the much loved bar. Could marshal law be brought to blue sector. Are Corsec truly corrupt? Are rights being thrown?

MANDALORIAN THUGS!

It has been widely reported Mandalorian Thugs have been attacking businesses and individuals throughout blue sector! Attacking and abusing civilians. Everywhere from Treasure Row to the Shipping Yards. Mandalorians have been bringing dishonesty and disrespect to their own culture. When a man hides behind a mask, is he a friend or foe? Who knows! But the Government are doing very little to tackle these lowlifes and it is rumored Corsec is supporting the barbarians.

CRIME ON THE RISE!

Blue Sector has been hit hard with crime over the past months. Businesses have been extorted and driven out of the sector. Yet this is nothing new, what is new is that several election candidates have apparent links to these groups. Yes! the same candidates of the election whom want to then run for further power! Trust none of them.

THE HUTT MONSTER!

Why is nobody talking about this savage!? Since the article a few months ago, missing persons have increased by thirty percent in blue sector in particular working girls. Yet this story was quietly swept under the rug! Why? Rumors have speculated of a monster dwelling in the sewers but again the government chose to deny it. Another Hutt is cruel intentions!

VRENI BEACH

And who are we to judge! Us! Petty civilians far from the glorious beach and luxury of Vreni where the high and mighty dwell in riches. Where the Jedi stay away from the real issues that we suffer. Cuddled up in their temples and sparkling streets as we suffer! Where are the Jedi in these times? Where is the justice we deserve?

WHEN WILL IT END? CORRUPTION? VIOLENCE? SAVAGERY? AUSTERITY? SOON BLUE SECTOR WILL BE RED SECTOR! TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE REAL ENEMY JOIN THE RESISTANCE BROTHERS!

[valkleric]

can you do a faceclaim for your OC’s if they’re just for your novel and you have no plans to RP them?

idk, anways:

Ketja, Estherlander witch, cleric, sceptre, ENFP

Geric, Galboeccian mortal, dragoon, spear or sword, ISTJ

Brynne, Belrish mortal, sorceress, staff, ESFP

Balderic, Sutherlander dwarf, gadgeteer, flintlock, INTP

Lilyth, Belrish-Mugenshin mortal, psychic, freehanded, ENTP

Verda, Galgaric mortal, valkyrie, hammer and shield, ENTJ

Senaya, Ornazdan mortal, mystic assassin, sickle, ISFP

Vasch, Galgaric mortal, paladin, claymore, ESFJ

Sera, Sylvranic homunculus, rogue, trick daggers, ISTP

Caliburne, Sylvranic mortal, corsair, saber with rapier, ESTP

each row is also a couple! look, somehow they even appear to be looking at each other… their respective reactions are quite by happenstance but completely accurate. life sure is weird!

other relationships include the familial: Geric and Balderic are cousins (well, Geric is Balderic’s half-uncle), Vasch and Verda are also cousins (the normal way), Sera is a mutual cousin of Ketja and Caliburne, Ketja’s father’s sister is her mother, Caliburne’s brother’s brother is her father, but Ketja and Calib are otherwise unrelated,

as well as childhood friendships: Ketja first met Geric, Balderic, Caliburne, and Vasch as young teenagers “recruited” (kidnapped) by a young wizard calling himself “the Magus Cid McReed”,

he looks like this:

and will always look like that because he is something abominable, something not of this world, immortal and farseeing, an eldritch beast in human form, an old angel of death perhaps, or the very dark god ruling over the slow decay of the universe itself,

he himself isn’t sure but he sure likes fucking with the family lines of these kids! picking and twisting at the complex aristocratic political game of the Danse Macabre, a hidden war of poisonings and intrigue

he is the Master of it, nay, the Inventor of it

his stats are: Cid, offworlder immortal, grand magus, wand, ENFJ

after several shenanigans involving crossdressing, learning magic, false identities and double-on-triple crosses, the gang realized they were being played by this weird older kid with his creepy grin streaked across his face

the boys ended up forming their own order of knights, the Triple Crown Knights, because Vasch and Calib are crown princes in their own countries, and Geric used to be one, AND they support Ketja’s claim to the big big throne of a vast continental empire across the Solaric Sea, as well as to an island nation with it’s own trade empire

they part ways after Ketja is discovered to have been crossdressing to attend classes at the all-male Arcanium magic school for the children elite, earning herself a reputation when she is sent to St. Julianna’s convent to learn to be a proper member of the dowry livestock class

there she befriends Brynne and Lilyth, as well reuniting with her childhood best friend, Ilyanka Ivraneu!

Ilyanka, Estherlander Orcian mortal, healer priestess, binding chain, INFP

it would not be until well into their twenties Ketja’s male and female friends would all meet at once upon her apparent invitation to see a show at an opera house in a dazzling capital city to celebrate her recent betrothal to

Kveros Porphyrios Tretzrionae, Evanescan mortal, imperial commander, gladius, ESTJ,

Emperor of the Evanescan Empire dwelling in the far away shadows of the eventide lands,

a marriage Ketja herself is completely opposed to but is at the mercy of Vasch’s grandfather, the Emperor Dorell II of the Neo Grimmorian Empire, which recently defeated Ketja’s own imperial families and put most of them along with their supporters to the sword and noose, who insists on the marriage to placate his own aggressive neighbors, the Evanescans

so the gang is at the opera house, Ketja’s is nowhere to be seen, when Revenants attack! unholy homunculi grown with wicked alchemy from the flesh of corpses, often in the warped images of their sourced deceased

enter Sera:

a lost soul with scattered memories of a young life spent in palaces and on grand airships, a story she knows is not her own, she is merely in the shape of what once was, her dark master having shown her her own “mothercorpse” many times, so like her, but so little…

so yeah, that’s enough for now

tbh the story came before the pictures, I just did some googling and figured out which actors not only resembled my characters, but also played in roles aesthetically in-sync with my OC’s

i’d blame my own subconscious before anything spooky as an explanation though, anyways, what was the point of this?

cheers

[imagine-aph-everything-blog]

I'm not even gonna hide anonymously anymore, I fully admit that I am trash for this blog. Could I please request best friend headcanons with Switzerland? So sorry if this has been done before, I couldn't find one with Switzerland though! Much love, and I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your holiday

Thank you so much! My blog is (good) garbage and it makes me so happy to hear people are enjoying it. 💕 the trip was loads of fun, thanks!Also, I don't know how well known this is about Switzerland but he's only around 5'6" and he's 18! I thought that was really cool and aaaaSwitzerland (Vasch Zwingli)- Consider it a privilege to be even a friend of his! He prefers to isolate himself and tries to distance himself from people. - He doesn't mind spending some money on them or lending a few bucks for them!- However he may ask for them to pay for a bit of his meal if they ever go out to lunch together. He's still cheap. - Just like with an S/O, he gets very, VERY protective. Possessive, even. People don't seem to like him too much so to have someone who likes him even through his harsh exterior is really big for him. - You bet your ass that if you're in trouble, he'll be right there at your side to defend you. - He won't attack his friend if they run across his property. However for him it's still an instinct to pull out a weapon(gun), but he wouldn't fire. - Invites his best friend for Lillie's tea parties. Lillie loves it too!- HUGS!!! He will begrudgingly hug them. He still begrudgingly hugs Lillie, but she knows he likes hugs. - He's not the best with his feelings but he tries. Have you seen Ludwig with Feli? He'd probably escalate real quick.

“Qui nevica senza sosta, non accadeva da cento anni, e la proprietaria ha la grazia malinconica di Marlene Dietrich”. Una lettera di Mary McCarthy a Hannah Arendt

L’amicizia tra Mary McCarthy e Hannah Arendt scatta, per eccezionale affinità, nel 1944; è sancita da un vasto carteggio, incominciato nel 1949, durato fino alla morte di Hannah, nel 1975. La Arendt era arrivata a New York nel 1941; dieci anni dopo pubblica “Le origini del totalitarismo”. Mary McCarthy è tra le più lucide, disinibite e audaci scrittrici del proprio tempo. Quando scrive questa lunga lettera dal Portogallo alla Arendt (parte del carteggio è stata edita in Italia da Sellerio come “Tra amiche”, nel 1999), la McCarthy ha mollato Edmund Wilson, si è accasata con Bowden Broadwater (il terzo di quattro mariti complessivi), sta pubblicando “A Charmed Life” (subito tradotto da Garzanti). Di lì a poco scriverà i libri più celebri: “Memories of a Catholic Girlhood” (1957) e “The Group” (1963; ridotto poco anni dopo in film da Sidney Lumet).

***

Pensao Bela Vista 9 Rua Ataide Lisbona, Portogallo, 21 gennaio 1954

Carissima Hannah,

Qui nevica senza sosta, per la prima volta, dicono, da cento o da dieci anni, non saprei. Un pomeriggio adatto per scrivere una lettera, dunque. Un giorno sì e uno no, dopo pranzo, facciamo camminate da consumarci le scarpe. Siamo già stati nella maggior parte delle chiese, all’Alfama, ai Giardini Botanici, che sono incantevoli: a parer mio davvero l’espressione di una nazione; alla biblioteca americana, a quella inglese, in negozi, alberghi, caffetterie. La prima sera siamo arrivati fino al Rossio e abbiamo cercato il posto in cui tu e Heinrich andavate a prendere il caffè. Ma non penso di averlo trovato.

Stiamo in una pensione in cui sembriamo essere gli unici ospiti, sebbene abbiamo sentito alludere ad altri pensionanti. La precedente proprietaria, che ci era stata raccomandata da Leonid [Berman], il pittore, a quanto pare, è impazzita qualche anno fa e ora il posto è sotto una nuova gestione. Temo che stiano per fare bancarotta. Comunque noi abbiamo due camere, di cui una è molto grande, con il balcone e una meravigliosa vista sul porto. La nuova Madame è una certa Mlle. Carole che si avvicina ai quarant’anni, fuma un’eterna sigaretta e indossa un bolerino rosso e una camicetta inglese abbottonata fino al collo. Si porta dietro una certa grazia malinconica alla Marlene Dietrich, che denota un imminente tracollo finanziario. È metà francese e metà svedese, la madre è una grassa maman francese dall’abito nero e lo sguardo di profonda rassegnazione. Non smettono di ascoltare la radio francese e parlano in quattro lingue: tedesco, francese, inglese e portoghese. La loro tortura e afflizione è la Portoghese, ossia la loro aiutante. La cucina è davvero incostante, come il tempo; quando cucina la Portoghese, è mediocre, quando cucina Madame è buona, quando cucina Maman è superba. Come chiunque quando si trova in una condizione precaria, sembrano possedere il potere di leggere la mente. Percepiscono il momento esatto in cui decidiamo di provare qualche altro posto e Maman si dirige verso la cucina: allora la cena è all’altezza de La Pérouse. Tuttavia si respira un’aria generale di creditori incalzanti, dipendenti che si licenziano, confusione, fusibili che saltano; per fartela breve, io mi sento molto solidale con loro e Bowden si è placato dopo aver fatto un giro nelle altre pensioni; e la posizione qui è estremamente comoda: in alto, proprio sopra e a ovest del Chiado. Naturalmente, paghiamo troppo rispetto alla media portoghese, ma ci consoliamo con il fatto che non facciamo in tempo a esprimere un desiderio che tutta la pensione è già in azione. Il motivo, lo so, è che siamo americani. E gli americani, per queste persone, sono come divinità primitive, un grappolo di imprevedibili e misteriose voglie da appagare e se possibile anticipare. Hanno le idee più strane su cosa potremmo desiderare, idee timide, speranzose, come offerte. Al momento abbiamo una stufa a gas in camera, ma il ragazzo continua a salire per offrirci anche una stufa elettrica, nonostante non ce ne siano altre in casa e noi non ne abbiamo il benché minimo bisogno.

Non so quanto a lungo rimarremo qui. Dicono che l’Algarve, al sud, dove pensavamo di andare, sia completamente imbiancata, nonostante la mimosa dovrebbe essere già fiorita. Sai che il New Yorker mi ha chiesto una “Lettera dal Portogallo”? Ieri ho incontrato il nostro addetto stampa, che mi è parso piuttosto bravo e abbiamo parlato di Platone. La cosa che mi colpisce di più qui è il fenomeno dell’Americanizzazione. Sono molto attivi gli interessi commerciali americani: Ford, Buick, International Telephone, TWA; per strada si vedono migliaia di automobili nuove e le vetrine sono piene di radio, frigoriferi, pentole a pressione, vasche per neonati; molte fra queste cose sono di fattura americana. La cosa più strana è trovare sulla Rua Garrett (la principale via di negozi) scatole di salatini Ritz avvolte nel velluto rosso; una vetrina intera solo per quelle e un’altra per le Tootsie Rolls. Vi è una sorta di pathos infantile o primitivo in questo; le loro confezioni e le loro torte sono così incantevoli, come ricorderai. E ovunque, nei sobborghi, ma persino nella città stessa, spuntano case popolari. Devo dire che le loro sono meglio delle nostre.

Dal punto di vista politico non so ancora nulla di questo paese. Sembra piuttosto sconcertante a livello economico, una strana miscela di prosperità e povertà. La prosperità deve essere piuttosto diffusa tra tutta la classe media della città, ma non riesco a comprendere da dove provenga. Nelle sale da tè e nelle caffetterie si accalcano uomini e donne ben vestiti, che negli Stati Uniti considereresti gente d’affari, o persino segretarie e rappresentati; tutta la classe media più giovane, a dire il vero, sembra molto americana, come se avesse modellato espressioni e modi di fare sulla base dei film; sono solo gli aristocratici e i poveri ad avere l’aspetto che io definirei portoghese. (Trovo che questa sia una grande differenza rispetto all’Italia o alla Francia). D’altro canto, i prodotti di fabbrica nelle vetrine dei negozi, ma anche nelle strade più rinomate, sono davvero scadenti – parlo di scarpe, borse, vestiti, camicie da uomo. Tutto sembra uscito da un magazzino di Gimbel o da una svendita dopo un incendio. E poi l’artigianato sembra non esistere per nulla, solo roba dozzinale, pacchiana e rozza, affatto autentica, il tipo di oggetto che potresti acquistare alla stazione ferroviaria come souvenir. Nei vicoli e nell’Alfama regna una sorta di povertà medievale, ricorda l’Africa, come hai detto tu, o le pagine più crude de I Miserabili o di Notre-Dame de Paris.

Ora devo interrompere. Si sta facendo buio e una cosa che non sono riuscita a procurarmi in questa pensione è una buona luce da lettura o scrittura. Ti manderò un altro resoconto tra non molto. Se hai un minuto, mandami due righe qui. Parliamo costantemente di te. Dove sei stata tu a Lisbona, mi domandavo. In che quartiere?

Domani incontrerò il numero due del Segretariato per la Propaganda. L’unica altra persona del posto che abbiamo conosciuto è un ballerino di danza classica, di cui ci aveva parlato sempre Leonid, domani sera ci porterà ad ascoltare il Fado all’Alfama.

Con tanto tanto affetto per entrambi,

Mary

So @resonatingfern​ wrote another super neat and fun thing HERE and while this technically isn’t new art I did wanna make an awfully cheesy bad romance cover (And the artist made Alec too soft and weepy so I added tears, and gave him blue eyes etc coz it’s nothing like him at all). I should have added Vasche’s claw marks to the book cover but I forgot XD

Also have a dumb doodle of Alec looking at the cover properly:

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

Can’t believe Alec has the audacity to make Vasche actually walk anywhere XD One day they can fly together, but for now Vasche gets to grumble!

A date thing! Alec doesn't think he's good at dates but he will pack a picnic full of the fanciest food he can make, and then drag Vasche on a long walk to a place where they have a good high up view. He probably brought far too much food (And stupidly expensive wine that he grumbled about buying but thinks will be loved) but hey he wants to spoil Vasche and that's the best way he knows how. And casually draping himself over him while they just talk about stuff because he craves that affection.

Ohh the fancy wine! Alec sure does know his way into Vasche’s heart. You can bet he’ll be happily giving Alec all the affection he wants while he drinks that, one hand with the glass of wine and the other brushing through Alex’s hair. He’d grumble about having to walk somewhere high, but once they’re there he’s perfectly content.

Wintersday Lunch

Kinda made this up as I went along (While watching TV with mum so it might be a bit all over the place, the show we were watching is good so I got distracted quite a bit) I stole @resonatingfern‘s Vasche for this because I wanted to write about Alec preparing a meal and he strikes me as the sort of person to pop into the kitchen to badger him while he does XD I hope everyone’s having a nice time with whatever you are doing too! 

Alec busied himself in the small kitchen - moving between stirring the broth and gently frying the last of the vegetables. Although he could hear the laughter and chatter from the adjoining room, he was glad to be tucked away out of sight. It was nice to be back in Divinty’s Reach, and introducing old and new friends had gone better then he’d thought. Casey had gathered several friends that Alec and her had grown up with and he’d brought Kasmeer, Marjory and Vasche with him (Logan, understandably, was busy with his own celebrations, and Taimi and Canach were off doing their own things). 

He’d been worried about Vasche, but his travelling companion-turned-lover had been not only accepted but welcomed into Casey’s home, and in turn had been polite (If a bit cold which was to be expected) to the other guests crammed into the small house. Casey had given Alec a knowing look when he’d introduced the two, but saved her teasing for another time.

The constant chatter and joyous mood was lovely, yet overwhelming. No one minded when he excused himself to start their Wintersday Lunch. Alone in the kitchen (well not entirely alone, his little risen rat was perched on a shelf, nibbling on food scraps) he’d removed his blindfold to keep an eye on the food. He’d poke his head through momentarily, dutifully giving them updates on timing, before escaping back to the peaceful solitude of his task.

He was just waiting for the small goose to finish roasting, (the nut roast for those not eating the bird had already finished, and was covered to retain heat) when he nearly jumped out of his skin as he felt an arm snake around his waist. Vasche leant his head on Alec’s shoulder, wings slightly pulled forward, encasing them both.

“You’ve been in here an awfully long time.”

“Meals this fancy take an awfully long time to cook,” Alec smiled and leant back against Vasche, hand still busy finishing all the trimmings “If anyone should be used to waiting for silly over-the-top meals it should be you.”

“They weren’t silly, they were divine, and I never had to wait,” Vasche pressed a light kiss against Alec’s neck before being batted away “There was always food and wine at my beck and call. And warm bodies.” He flashed a toothy grin as he was shooed out of the way as Alec pulled the Goose out of the old stove.

“Sounds wonderful,” With the tray balanced against his hip he nodded at the rest of the food. “Now help me carry all this through and you’ll have my warm body at your beck and call later.” Alec’s own fanged smile matching Vasche’s as he hurried through to the dining room, where a round of cheers greeted him.

Despite everything going on, and everything that happened; right now he allowed himself time to relax and enjoy the evening, surrounded by old and new friends alike.

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

Ohh oh either 5 from the bliss section or 6 from the anger!

Uhh so I KNOW this was supposed to be from the Bliss section but it’s more...iunno it’s own thing oops! I also wanna write a short thing for 6 at some point but this was hard enough to write for now!, I couldnt get the words to make the picture in my head oops XD

Kiss me again

Alec’s arms glistened with blood, some of his own mixing with the red that stained his claws. The large sword he carried shifted back into swirling smoke, adding itself to the magic that surrounded his wings. Chest heaving and snarl on his lips, it was only til he felt Vasche yank him down and into a metallic tasting kiss was he truly aware the fight was over.

There were too many teeth and the angle was wrong, but the other man’s hand in his shirt and the back of his neck was comforting, and he felt the growl in the back of his throat turn into a low whine. It was grounding, having someone there that wasn’t scared or repulsed by him, to still kiss him in this shape. Alec pulled back momentarily, eyes focusing on the man in front of him. 

Vasche was saying something, but he couldn’t make out the words. He became acutely aware of the pain that racked his body, being contorted and twisted was never easy, and the shift back hurt just as much, if not more. His head was heavy, the horns large and cumbersome causing his head to droop, long hair covering his face.

“-head back and get clean. Being covered in blood won’t do-”

“Kiss me again, please.” Alec’s voice was quiet and desperate, he just needed something, anything, to momentarily distract him.

Vasche moved closer again, brushing the long dark long hair behind Alec’s ears. 

“Of course.” His voice low, returning one hand to the back of Alec’s neck he used the other to lift his chin. Although now taller than him, Alec seemed to always find a way to make himself feel so small when he was unhappy. That wouldn’t do, if he couldn’t see how beautiful he was like this, then Vasche would just have to show him. Edit: Reblogging because I tacked a little bit on and I’m happier with it. I think afterwards Vasche and Alec quickly return to wherever they are staying for the night and that’s when Alec forces himself back into “his shape”. He doesn’t really like being this fairly large hulking man with big horns!

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

I just wanted to write Alec having just, a happy good time for ages, so I stole @resonatingfern‘s Vasche again. They wrote a think about the pair of them in a tent drying off a while ago and I think this is kind of a parallel maybe! (Also might be kinda of mistake-ridden again I’m bad at rereading as always XD Also a dumb title because I couldn’t think of what to name the file)

Caught in the rain

The weather had been overcast all day and it had only been a matter of time before the sky decided to split in two and begin pouring down. In a matter of minutes Alec and Vasche were soaked. They decided to cut their journey short - there was no point trekking on through such abysmal weather. Alec quite liked being out in the rain but he knew his companion detested having damp, wet clothes.

They made short work of pitching the tent - though it was larger than one he was used to assembling.  He tried to stifle a smile at the sight of Vasche looking dishevelled and grumpy as they worked; he couldn’t help it - the other man very rarely looked anything other than immaculate, and being allowed to see him in such a state was endearing. 

As soon as the tent was up the other man had fled inside, grumbling about needing his wings to dry off. Alec paused, shrugged his coat off, and flung it in after him. 

“I’ll be inside in a moment!”

He stepped away from the tent and opened his arm and stump wide after pulling the blindfold off and returning his risen creature to the earth. The cold rain pelted down, drenching him completely. Despite the chill that started to spread through his body he grinned. A bubbling happiness spread from his chest and stretched out from the tips of his toes to the top of his head. 

The responsibilities that others had placed on him seemed so far away, and the week spent travelling between small villagers and just absorbing the pleasant atmosphere of small markets had been a refreshing change of pace. Today had been even better, simple yes, but still wonderful. They’d mostly been walking, but there had been a general lightness to his actions. Here he was; alive, in the rain, his lover in the tent behind him, and a short break from fixing other people’s problems. 

Still grinning, Alec finally pushed his way into the tent. In front of Vasche was the strange “flame-less” fire that he’d “acquired” from a fairly unpleasant Asura. The other man looked up, his wings stretched out like a bird drying off. The heat from the device was pleasant and welcome - already making quick work of Vasche’s wet clothing.

“You look happy-” Vasche’s expression turned from content to mild horror when he saw the grin on Alec’s face. “Oh no. Don’t you dare.” 

There was a moment where both men stared at each other, before Alec shook his head violently, long hair whipping around covering the tent in cold rain.

Before Vasche could grumble further, Alec bound over and plonked himself in his lap facing him, beaming widely.

“You, are an incredible menace sometimes, you know that right?” Vasche shuddered in distaste as Alec wrapped his soaked arm around him. He’d only just started drying!

Alec simply nodded, still smiling. Vasche’s damp hair had started to dry, curling slightly in a way that it wouldn’t do otherwise. His large leathery wings and horns made him stand out from other people, but the sharp angles of his face made him stand out even more in Alec’s eyes.. 

“You’re very pretty.” Alec gently touched Vasche’s face, moving from his cheek to his lips. “Sometimes it’s too much to look at you.”

Vasche was silent for a moment, it was rare for Alec to be so forthcoming.  Quickly replacing his surprised look with a smug grin he nodded. “Of course I’m pretty, I’m an exquisite creature after all.”

Again Alec laughed, resting his forehead against Vasche’s. His sheer confidence was just one of the many things that turned Alec’s original pull to the other man into something else. The strange bond that sat deep in his core was content, it felt warm and happy and he reckoned Vasche could feel it too.

In a surge of his own confidence, bolstered with something else, he moved his head lower, mouth hovering just above the scales on Vasche’s neck.

“So pretty,” He paused further, the bond surging forward with an inky possessiveness he was only vaguely aware of. “And all mine.” Before finally pressing a kiss to the sensitive scales.

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

If you’re up for it, how about “can I sleep in here with you tonight?” ❤️❤️

Ello!! SO I had an idea BUT I couldn't get it to work and I tried a bunch of times but nothing seemed to end up how I wanted oops😅 Have this attempt at a thing anyway and ta for the prompt! XD

Alec was pacing back and forth by the window. The curtains were opened as wide as they could be in an attempt to illuminate the room, yet tonight it seemed the moon would stay hidden behind the dense clouds. His lantern had burnt out not too long before, and he could find no more oil to top it back up.

At the innkeeper’s insistence he’d returned his Risen animal to the earth it had originally come from. Vasche had raised an eyebrow when he’d obliged the request. When the innkeeper had pushed the guestbook across the desk and told him to select what they required, Alec had panicked. Rather than ask his companion for help he simply circled one of the options and scribbled what he thought looked enough like an A on the line. 

“Did you mean to book two separate rooms?” Vasche was leading them up the stairs.

“Maybe I did,” Alec huffed in response, face flushing with embarrassment. Then he shook his head. “No, but it’s fine, they’re paid for now.”

Vasche had offered to go and fix the mistake but Alec was stubborn, insisting this was fine. The dragonspawn didn’t look pleased but both were too tired to continue bickering.

That had been a few hours prior. He was fidgeting now, blindfold off and wishing he hadn’t dispelled the creature that had been accompanying him earlier. Its superior sight in low light would have made him feel more at ease. More than that though, he wished he hadn’t kept the two rooms booked out of spite; the darkness set his teeth on edge, made him feel vulnerable and alone, like a scared child. 

The only comfort was the strange magic that sat deep in his chest, a tether that grew stronger the more time he spent in the company of Vasche. A tether that now felt like a taut string, waiting to snap unless he returned to his side.

His lip was bleeding. He’d worried away at it, breaking the skin. The coppery taste of blood snapping him from his stupor. It was too much, the darkness was creeping in and he didn’t want to be alone.

Before he could change his mind he left his room and crossed the hall to where he knew his travelling companion was resting. Knocking gently on the door he waited. At least the hall was lit by the soft glow of the oil lamps.

“Yes?” Vasche sounded as if he’d just awoken, and Alec felt even worse at having disturbed him. 

He opened the door gently and stepped inside. The man on the bed lifted his head and looked over at Alex. Even with the only light spilling in from the hall Vasche’s form was a welcome sight. His wings, although currently tucked against his back, never failed to take Alec’s breath away.

“Can I sleep in here with you tonight?” 

Vasche made a small sound that sounded like agreement, before he shuffled over - the bed was small but he’d made space beside him.

Shutting the door, Alec crossed the room quickly. He climbed in beside the dragonspawn, not realising how cold he’d been just in his breeches and shirt before settling into the warmth of the bed and the person in it. He faced outward, still chewing at his lip.

“It was dark,” The younger man refused to turn around. “And I felt -” He cut himself off before he could mention the weird, dangerous magic swirling in his chest that only felt at ease when he was close to other person. He didn’t want to talk about it much, the idea that Vasche was so intrinsically connected to him was frightening - because if he lost him like Alec had lost so many others, he didn’t know what would be left of himself after. 

He felt a heavy arm drape itself across his waist. A wing stretched out, sequestering them both from the outside world.

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

How about 18 and 27 for whatever otp you feel like talking about :3

I’m gonna try and answer about Alec and Vasche, because I already know the answer for 27 in one context, so I’m again stealing Vasche for this coz I had thoughts! (I hope you don’t mind >.< I’m just making this up based on stuff we've talked about/I’ve seen! I just love them both!)

18. Who gets the window seat?

I’m gonna say in the context of generic travelling rather then cars! I thiiiink it depends on Alec’s mood and if he’s got his blindfold on! He’s not particularly fussed about sitting next to the window when he can’t see out of it properly, BUT if he’s feeling pretty unpeoply I can see Vasche picking up on that and insisting Alec sits tucked away by the window so he doesn’t have to deal with a random people walking or sitting next to him? When he stops wearing the blindfold more he starts really enjoying looking out the window then, though he offers to swap halfway (Again depending on people ness)

27. Who cooks at 2 in the morning?

Vasche! I read he doesn’t sleep through the night well, so it makes the most sense for him to in this context too. I think if he does do that its 50/50 if Alec gets up. He gets pretty tired and just, passes out essentially depending on the day (At least while doing commander stuff, and except the bad nights ;;). But if he wakes up he trails down and just sleepily watches Vasche potter about. Probably also getting in the way and burrowing himself under Vasche’s wings because he just absorbs warmth like a tired gremlin. (While also giving unasked for cooking tips because he likes cooking and will half-asleep back seat cook)
