My #1 post of 2022

Trying to do stuff out of my comfort zone, like drawing a character I never draw and different shading(and highlights). I loved drawing Iceland but was super uncomfortable with the shading.

GerEng Week 2022: Day 7

Title: As the Sea Kissed the Shore, the Sky Dawned Upon Them

Prompt: Bakery/Baking || Family

Rating: Explicit

Genres: Fluff and Smut

Category: F/M

Pairing: Fem!HRE!Germany x England

Summary:

“Oh?" He stopped. No. Slowed down was the proper term because his touches had become provocative, frustrating her, and leading her to drive herself against him impetuously.

Her pregnancy, as well as the long days her child's father was away from her, made her more reliant.

He laughed deeply, much to her embarrassment, and kissed her on the lips after removing his head from her marked neck. Looking at her darkly, he responded huskily, "Just tell me about it during our intimacy, all right?"

He then smirked. “But then you will be unable to express yourself more eloquently in words. You always end up—”

"I may be with child!" she blurted out, unable to stand his indecent talk and piercing stare any further.

She speedily pressed her face against his chest to hide, her cheeks and ears burning up owing to her candour and the awkwardness that ensued.

GerEng Week 2022: Day 5

@gereng-week

Prompt: Flowers || Office AU

Pairing: GerEng + Sealand

Rating: T

Word Count: 1734

A Little bit of Colour

Friday had finally arrived, freeing Ludwig from his seemingly never-ending work week. All he wanted to do was get home, but a garden center had just opened on his street, and he had been wanting to check it out. Of course, work and overtime had made him push that plan back until now. 

When he entered, he was greeted by a young boy almost running into him. Luckily, Ludwig slid out of the way just as the boy rushed by him. 

“Sorry mister,” the boy called back, not stopping his sprint. 

Ludwig frowned at the boy. This was no way to behave, especially in a store. He looked around for a parent, finding a blond-haired man storming after the boy. Eventually, he caught up to him and gripped the boy's shoulder. “Sorry, there mate,” the blond man said, looking towards Ludwig, “He’s been cooped up all day in class and decided to take it out on my flowers.” That last part was directed at the boy. He guided the pouting boy to behind the cash area and told him sternly to stay there. 

The man turned back to Ludwig. “Now, what can I help you with?” he asked. 

Ludwig stared slack jaw. This man was the last person he expected to be running a flower shop. His spiky green hair, dark eyeliner, multiple piercings, and tattoos wrapping around his exposed forearms were nothing that came to Ludwig’s mind when he thought gardener, but it was definitely something that came to mind when Ludwig thought of his type. 

He shook himself out of his daze when he caught himself staring. “Uh…Well…I-I need…Um, I was looking to replace my watering can and spade.”

“No problem, right this way.”

The man–Arthur was his name according to his tag–showed him over to their tool section. He was well informed, pointing out the best brands and also adding his own two cents, explaining the items he used. The entire time, Ludwig kept stealing shy glances, quietly nodding along to Arthur’s words. 

Halfway through their discussion, Ludwig felt eyes on him. He turned his head to look at a potted plant. He caught a tuft of dirty blond hair before it disappeared behind the leaves. 

“Peter Kirkland,” Arthur snapped, “Stop bugging my customers.” He didn’t even have to turn around to know the boy was there. “Forgive me, he’s a nosy one.” 

Ludwig smiled slightly. He may have not had a lot of experience with children, but being curious and nosy seemed normal. “It’s okay,” he assured Arthur.

Peter came out from hiding. “But–”

“No buts,” Arthur stated, “Don’t you have homework?”

Peter smirked. “Nope. It’s the weekend.”

“Shit,” Arthur huffed under his breath. “Just…Just scram, or there won’t be any dessert tonight.”

The boy’s face paled before he dashed off to the cash area.

“Sorry again,” Arthur sighed.

“It’s no trouble. Kids will be kids.”

“Maybe, but they also need proper manners.”

“And I’m sure you’ve got it all under control.”

Arthur flushed slightly. 

“Ah! Sorry if I overstepped.”

“Not at all… I actually appreciate it.”

As Ludwig collected his things (he ended up getting more than he originally planned), the two moved into a more personal conversation. Ludwig had learned that Arthur was the owner of the garden center. It had been his dream, and thanks to his job as a tattoo artist and a little help from his mother, he was able to open it. But just as Ludwig was getting comfortable with Arthur, it was time to check out. 

“Your son is cute,” Ludwig noted as Arthur scanned him through.

“Thank you, but he’s not my son. He’s my menace of a little brother.”

“Oh.” There was a story there, Ludwig could tell, but he had already felt like he had pried too much. “Well, he’s quite energetic, but all kids have a point like that.”

Arthur nodded. “I suppose. That will be $15.40.” 

Ludwig paid and bid Arthur a good day before departing, feeling lighter than he had when he first went in.

- - - 

Ludwig began to frequent the garden center, going whenever he had a day off work. He was able to keep up the facade that he was coming for gardening supplies as it was still fairly early in spring. But really, Ludwig didn’t need any more than what he got on his first visit. He prided himself in taking care of his tools, so they lasted years, but he needed an excuse to come and see Arthur without being creepy. 

“Hiya Ludwig,” Peter greeted with a toothy grin.

Ludwig gave the boy a small smile. He was quite polite when he wasn’t bouncing off the walls “Hello Peter.”

“Are you here to see my brother?”

Peter blinked at him innocently, but Ludwig knew better. Arthur was right, he was a mischievous boy. Though perhaps, in this case, clever was a more appropriate word. 

Ludwig flushed slightly. “Wha–N-No. I want to…get some more…flowers. Yes, flowers. I was looking to expand my garden. 

Peter smirked, rocking back and forth on his feet, “I know you like him.” 

“What?”

“Your cheeks are red, just like when you first saw him. And nobody needs this much gardening stuff.”

That clever boy. Ludwig tensed and looked away.

“You sure like to pester him, don’t you?” Arthur interjected. 

“But Arthur!” Peter whined.

“He’s okay,” Ludwig said.

Arthur quirked a brow, looking Ludwig over. “Your face says otherwise.”

Peter tugged on Arthur’s hand, jumping up and down. “Can I show Ludwig what he’s looking for?”

Arthur turned towards said man, brows knitted. 

“That would be lovely,” Ludwig replied, giving Arthur a nod. 

Ludwig could see Arthur’s hesitancy, but in the end, he let them go. 

“Am I that obvious?” he asked once they were far enough from Arthur.

“Well, not to Arthur. But I think he likes you too.”

“We just met.”

“So, is that a no to me helping you land a date with him?”

Ludwig froze. “Of course, that’s a no,” he replied sternly, “Anyway. Why would you help me when you barely know me?”

Peter’s smile fell. He looked back at his brother who had retreated to behind the cash desk. “You make him smile…He’s always been so grouchy, especially since mum died, but when you’re here, he’s grinning wildly and is always in a good mood. I just…I just want him to be happy.”

There was a softness in Peter’s eyes that Ludwig hadn’t seen before. For all his mischief, poking, and prodding, he really was a good kid. 

Ludwig crouched down to his level. “That’s very kind of you. Arthur’s lucky to have a brother like you looking out for him. But I think we need to do this on our own.”

Peter’s face fell. “Do you promise to ask him out soon?”

Ludwig could never stand puppy dog eyes. He blamed his dogs for it. So when Peter looked at him with wide, pleading blue eyes, Ludwig couldn’t say no. “I promise.”

- - -

It was another long day. Ludwig was really starting to consider a sudden career change as the days blurred together, and the only light in his bleak, sterile world was Arthur and his garden center. 

Ludwig stared blankly at the coffee maker, trying to come up with a way to confess. He had been brainstorming for a week on how to finally reveal his feelings to Arthur, but he had scraped every single one. Either it was too cheesy, too anxiety-inducing, or both.

With five minutes left to his break, Ludwig returned to his desk to find a lovely bouquet had been left there. Ludwig looked around for any inkling of who had left it, but he was met with a sea of cubicles, everyone focused on their computer screens. He noticed a small card. 

‘Love, Arthur,’ it read. 

Ludwig was taken aback. Though he was planning on confessing, he wasn’t too hopeful that Arthur returned his feelings (despite Peter claiming otherwise). He didn’t have time to dwell on it however as Arthur came bursting through the doors.

“Arthur–”

“Don’t say anything,” Arthur growled through gritted teeth. He snatched up the bouquet before heading to the door. “Just forget it ever happened.”

Ludwig felt his heart crack. He reached out to Arthur, gripping his wrist. “But what if–”

“I’m sorry Ludwig. They weren’t…I mean…I was teaching Peter about flower arrangements, and he…” Arthur shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. It was a mistake.”

“Mistake?’

“Yes…” 

He swallowed the lump in his throat. Of course, how could he have actually hoped he had a chance with a man he just met when he was so stiff and could barely carry a conversation? But with Arthur in his grip, he couldn’t hold back. “But what if I don’t want it to be a mistake,” Ludwig blurted out.

Arthur froze, muscles tensing. 

“Red roses, jasmine, yellow acacia. They all mean love do they not?”

Arthur nodded before slowly turning around. “What if I told you it wasn’t a mistake? How would you feel?”

Ludwig smiled slightly. “It would make things easier for me.”

Arthur’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Well then…” He thrusted the bouquet towards Ludwig. “Join me for dinner this evening?”

“I’d love to.” 

When Ludwig took the bouquet back, applause from the cubicles nearby erupted. Right, they weren’t alone. Ludwig felt his face burn. 

Luckily Arthur seemed to catch onto his discomfort and led him out of the office.

Once they were in the safety of the elevator, they relaxed. “Sorry,” they said at the same time. 

Arthur snickered, and Ludwig smiled bashfully. 

“It really was Peter who set this whole thing up,” Arthur admitted.

“He deserves a reward then.”

“Or a massive grounding for sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong.”

Ludwig leaned against the railing. “Fair. But don’t be too hard on him. Who knows how long we would have been pinning if it weren’t for him.”

Arthur nodded half-heartedly. “Fine…He’ll get off with a lecture.” 

Ludwig walked Arthur to the door. He was sad to see him go after all the excitement. If only they could relish in this moment a bit longer. “I’ll pick you up after work?” Ludwig asked. 

“Yes. If it’s not too much trouble.”

“You could never.”

And so, Ludwig returned to work far lighter than he was before. Perhaps that was the colour he had been missing for so long.

October 28th: Domestic/Slice of Life || Sharing Clothes (again very short, more of a ficlet than anything)

@gereng-week

It was their morning to sleep in, one of a very few selection of mornings in which they allowed themselves to do so, Arthur was comfortably nestled up not only in the blanket but in both a shirt and jumper pilfered from Ludwig’s cupboard, it was soft and smelt of him and he felt comfortable in it. 

Ludwig would have tried to wear Arthurs clothes if he was built any less like a brick wall, but Arthurs clothes looked comically small comparative to him, and Arthur was absolutely drowning in his clothes, it was adorable to see him shuffle around the house, still half asleep, the shirts covering him quite like a dress as he mooched around the house.

It was quite late now, near to eleven in the morning, both still asleep, the cats piled up at the foot of the bed, on top of Berlitz who seemed to like being sat on by the felines, they were warm and they didn’t move very much. They all knew that usually by this time both would be wake and most likely out of the house, and they would unceremoniously be shooed off the bed, and all the warm things would be taken off it, but they were both still sleeping. Arthurs blanket hoarding was a problem so much that they had separate blankets, which only ended up in Arthur stealing both and becoming a veritable cocoon of warmth (the cats loved this and got in the blanket with him, which was absolutely terrifying when they woke up, and on the occasion a blanket cocoon would form around both; which was what happened today. 

There was some quiet mumbling that mainly translated to “stop stealing the blanket you fucking frost gremlin” in German by Ludwig whose feet were cold, and for good reason too.

The day was cold, and floor, the floor would freeze a person's bare foot off if they even as much as stepped on it for a moment, even managing to get through the thick fur of Berlitz, which was another reason the pets decided to stay on the bed despite it getting dangerously close to midday; the house nearly silent except for the soft breathing as the sun hung low in the crystal blue sky, children rushing out for their break wearing gloves and hats that doting parents put on them and teens stubbornly refusing to wear coats while playing football on muddy grounds, hoping to god that they don’t get streaks of mud all over their clothes that they could be reprimanded when they get home about. The world moving oh so fast, but sometimes it was best to just live in the moment

Announcement

Hello everyone! It’s Kat and I’m excited to share that I will be running GerEng week this year. That being said I think I might do things a but differently in the sense I’d like to get prompt suggestions from you guys! I’ll be accepting prompt suggestions as of today and the last day to submit suggestions will be September 2nd.

On September 3rd, we’ll take a vote on the final eight prompts. That will remain open until September 17th.

I am also working on the days the week will spanned, There are two other events going on in October (one taking up the week this event is usually taking place) and thus it looks like the week will have to be moved to the last week of October (23rd-30th) because I’d like to at least keep the event in October.

Thank you, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s work!
