#joonas & aleksi: the princesses

[lnights]

At the beginning of 2023, I saw a challenge called The Year Of The OTP: 12 prompts. 12 months. One ship. I chose BC/BC because I write One Thing™️

Some are short one shots, some are multi chapters, two are pure smut 😌 links and summaries below.

January: Snow

Prompt: Snow, Rating G.

Summary:

He puffed out, smoke mingling with the steam of his hot breath as he tilted his head back, watching the softly falling snow.

February: Valentine's Day

Prompts: Valentine's Day and established relationship/long distance. Rating E.

Summary:

Their Valentine's Day plans were interrupted by bad weather. That's not going to stop them.

March: Fresh Starts

Prompt: Fresh Starts. Rating M. Angel/Demon au, sequel to Long Way Down

Summary:

The elders had always said falling was the most painful thing that could happen to an angel. As Tommi had hit the water and felt bones breaking he could only think they had been correct, pain shooting through every nerve endings and as he slowly sank he wondered how he was even still alive, being quite literally tossed from one realm of existence to another was like falling from a plane without a parachute.

April: Painting you Blue

Prompt: University AU. Rating G. 5 chapters.

Summary:

but still… he was a teacher now. What the hell had he gotten himself into? He should have never let Niko and Joonas talk him into this Or Joel is a new teacher at the same university as his boyfriends and their good friends. He is not excited.

May: Flower Moon

Prompt: Flower language. Rating G. Part of my Wolfpack AU.

Summary:

Aleksi is learning a new wolf tradition and wants to surprise his mates.

June: Can You Hear the Silence Getting Loud?

Prompts: Soulmates. Rating M. 5 chapters, part of my Soulmate AU

Summary:

For years Aleksi has been happy with his soulmates, his family long cut off. Until a relative contacting him makes him question that choice.

July: Heaven (and Hell) on Earth

Prompts: Enemies to Lovers and Coffeeshop AU. Rating M. 5 chapters. Angel/Demon AU

Summary:

There were two men running the counter as he got there, looking at him with what could almost be called suspicion. One was tall, even taller than him, and muscly, while the other was rather short with curly honey colored hair. "Welcome," the shorter of the two said, "what can we get you this evening?" "Your strongest, largest espresso," Joel said bluntly. His insomnia had decided to kick his ass that night, at least he could try to stay awake and be productive rather than be in his half awake, half asleep zombie mode that it usually sent him into. The larger man chuckled a little and got to work on the drink while the smaller rang him up; there was something about them that kept Joel's attention on them, something about the shop that begged for his attention. Maybe it was the name, Sinful Coffee.

August: Weathering the Storm

Prompt: Storm. Rating T.

Summary:

Blind Channel and their crew gets stuck at an airport in their hectic tour schedule. Joel and Niko don't handle it well.

September: Beacon in a Storm

Prompts: hurt comfort, meeting the family, flood, shifter au. Rating T.

Summary:

Olli stared through the dark window of their home, trying to not panic. The rain was getting impossibly heavier and Joel and Aleksi still weren't back; the dirt road leading to town had to be flooded by now, they could be stuck in mud or washed away if they weren't careful. "We never should have sent them by themselves." Joonas mumbled, "we should have gone with."

October: Pop Princess, Hold My Hand

Prompts: Texting, couple costumes. Rating T.

Summary:

It's Joonas' turn to pick their Halloween costumes.

November: Be Careful What You Wish For

Prompt: Be Careful What You Wish For. Rating E.

Summary:

Tommi decides to show his boyfriends a new side of him

December: Opinion on the Season

Prompt: Holidays together. Rating G. Stand alone sequel to Rumors and Opinions.

Summary:

Niko sighed and exhaled the smoke from his lungs. Holidays were always an interesting time of year. They all had a lot of family to see and it could be a tad overwhelming; seeing so many relatives in a short period, let alone all the shopping they had to do, arranging travel, arguments over who's family home they will wake up in on Christmas morning…

A list of kink’s each BC member has (at least in my mind) that nobody has asked for.

(I'm just making shit up here so don’t take me seriously pls! Also I'm too insecure to post it off anon.)

Aleksi:

(light)bdms (dom leaning)

daddy dom kink (I feel like you would discover it together in your relationship)

Voyeurismus ( if the mirror selfies are anything to go by 👀)

Teasing/Edging ( he's a little menace after all)

Joel:

Praising (mainly receiving but he also loves to praise you)

Humiliation (receiving, although he would probably start crying at some point)

Pegging (because I say so)

light pain play (giving and receiving, mainly biting I think)

bondage (being the rope bunny)

Anything else where he can shut his mind off

( I see him as switch leaning to sub because I feel like if you crack his shell he did love and enjoy to be taken care of and be your little pillow princess but he would pay you back of course 😌)

Tommi:

Impact Play (look at those big hands and tell me these weren’t made to leave marks on someones skin)

Daddy Dom (we all feel very normal about it don’t we 🥴)

SIZE KINK

(He would also be very chill about anything you wanna try out )

Niko:

teasing/edging (and he would be so smug about it)

Light Pain Play?! (Idk why to be honest

Humiliation (giving)

Voyeurismus

Piss Kink (he somehow gives off these vibes also we saw him pee so many times LIKE!?)

Joonas:

Voyeurismus

Exhibitionism (he has shown his dick and ass on camera multiple times come on!!!)

oral (giving and receiving)

cuckolding (he shared a partner with Joel once’s so I'm sure he's willing to share and show you off)

( He's also very open about anything. Threesome? He’s down for it! BDMS? Why the fuck not!? Pegging!? Hell yeah!!)

Olli:

Voyeurismus ( a man looking this good must love to be watched. Would be a waste!)

Bondage (both sides because I wanna see him tied up in pretty ropes)

teasing/edging (with his voice, mouth and hands! but also receiving)

Praising (giving. Imagine him calling you good girl/good boy in his low voice)

( Otherwise I feel like he would be kinda vanilla but loving to experiment if his partner is into something)

Thank you for listening 🖤

I ADORE THIS THANK YOU 😭😭😭 also love how they're basically all voyeurs, my exhibitionist ass couldn't be happier 😂😂

[rpf-bat]

I need to tell y’all about a BC x Reader AU that literally came to me in a dream a few months back.

Y/N was like…the princess of a magical kingdom? And the guys were her court mages/knights. They each had one type of elemental magic. Joel was shadow, Joonas was light, Niko was fire, Aleksi was ice, Tommi was earth, and Olli was air.

[theflyingfeeling]

I don't know if you've already done this. I could find anything for this soooo...

Au where blind channel is in detention together

Soooo...kinda like The Breakfast Club? :D Except that I'm itching to combine this with the boarding school AU that's been rotting my brain for about a month now, I hope that's alright! 😁

Not knowing what else to do with their "problem child", Joel's parents send him to this uptight boarding school 🙄

Literally on the first day he gets himself in trouble by insulting the teacher's pet (Aleksi), who was more amused than offended about the whole thing to be honest

Meanwhile Joonas, Niko and Olli look at each other like 😏😏😏because boyyyyy does this newbie have a lot to learn!

What follows is a series of the most ridiculous fouls to get them in the same detention with Joel so that they can teach him how things are done around here: Niko is given a note because he kept interrupting the teacher's poetry analysis by constantly disagreeing (the teacher's ego didn't take it well), Olli fell asleep in the middle of his geography lecture (quite by accident though but it did the trick) and Joonas had failed to follow the dresscode by leaving his dress shirt mostly unbottened (another mishap really; Joonas and Niko had been interrupted mid-action in the men's room and Joonas didn't have the time to properly dress himself before the next lecture)

Tommi is not actually given detention (because he's a good boy!!), but he's Olli's math tutor and they had scheduled a tutoring session after the classes that day, so Tommi attends as well because he's a busy man and if Olli wants his tutoring (which he does, because he's secretly crushing on his nerdy tutor), he can solve math problems while cleaning the sports equipment storage (=the assignment they're given for the detention)

But why is the teacher's pet there as well? Why, he skipped class because he was helping out his friend Robin, the headmaster's son, with his French exam revision and they lost the track of time. Those French syllables can be extremely tricky for the tongue indeed.. 😇

"The first thing you need to know, my friend," Niko tells Joel, "is that the headmaster is corrupt as fuck. Stay in his good books, and you'll be good."

"If you think I'm here to please anyone, least of all that old fart-"

"Of course not, buddy," Joonas smiles. "You're a little rebel, and that's real cute alright, but there are a lot worse places mommy and daddy could have sent you to, so you better start making the best out of your time here. For example, I keep the headmaster stacked with Cuban cigars." 👌

"And you know why that preppy boy is here for skipping class but not the headmaster's son? It's because he's the headmaster's son," Niko adds.

"Actually," Aleksi corrects him, "Robin had a free period."

"Irrelevant," Niko shrugs. "The point is, if you know which strings to pull, you're gonna be fine."

"What about you?" Joel eyes Olli sceptically. His long black coat surely was against all the dress codes. "What do you do to deserve special dispensation?"

"The headmaster's wife likes me," Olli winks 😌

"And just for the record," Tommi clears his throat, "I'm only here because that dummy can't pass his math test." He points at Olli who attempts to hide his reddening cheeks behind the collar of his coat

"We know that, and we love you," Joonas reassures him

Nevertheless, they have to finish their task of tidying up the ball storage room, which soon turns into a game of basketball

...Which later turns into a wrestling match on the gymnastic mattresses 😳

And that's when the PE teacher walks in and gives them another detention for the next day for, umm, inappropriate behaviour, and because the sports equipment storage is even messier than it was before 😂

Joel is almost looking forward to it, because as it turns out, Aleksi might be the best wrestler out of them all.. 😏

[darkerthanblack-666]

DID ALEKSI PAINT HIS NAILS?!?!?!?? (or did Joel paint them 🥺)

you people are fast, I had to check Insta to see what it is about 😂

it looks like he did? 😮

(but if someone painted his nails it was probably Joonas, he's the nail art princess in this band)

[exquisiteagony]

I had uuh Thoughts I want to share after I saw a kink post.

Olli as Aleksi's pillow princess dom making Aleksi prep and fuck him and telling him how good he looks, how well he's doing, how good he's being for Olli, just constantly praising him but physically not doing much more than lazily stroking his thighs and his ass.

Aleksi absolutely glowing from the praise and not wanting to come before he's fucked Olli into an orgasm and then another one purely through the overstimulation and getting so so so much more turned on from hearing how good he's making Olli feel and how good he's doing for him, how he can make him moan so much he needs to start several times to praise him until the only praise left is Olli grabbing onto Aleksi's back and moaning his name and various swear words over and over.

Dom princess pillow Olli being happy to lay back and let himself be fucked into oblivion by his pretty pretty sub who's so eager to please and be good and obedient for him, and telling Aleksi to hold off a little longer after he's made him come twice, because Olli likes how Aleksi feels inside of him trying very hard not to move, until he eventually allows him to come but only inside of him.

Olli pulling Aleksi down to lie on him and praise him some more for his good behavior, stroking his hair and his back. And after a few minutes, letting his hands wander lower and start stroking Aleksi's ass and around his hole, making him whine from being so sensitive. Olli lightly spanking his ass and telling him if he's good, he gets to pick the toy Olli will use to let Aleksi fuck himself back onto while still being inside Olli (Aleksi's favorite is a red silky rotating vibrator with a heating function).

Olli telling Aleksi if he's not as good as Olli knows he can be, he'll make him sit on his vibrating, almost uncomfortably large, wil-definitely-make-you-sore butt plug on the chair in front of the mirror with his hands tied back and spank his thighs and cock and chest and upper inner arms into next week until he remembers why Olli would prefer to praise him instead of punish him with a paddle and riding crop.

Aleksi might remind him that he's more than welcome to tie and spank him as a reward, and that they promised Joonas a pic/video of next time Olli decided to spank Aleksi.

(Someone take this from me and write it please, I have no time for it anytime soon, someone adopt this please oh god)

😳😳😳😳🥴🥴🥴🥴😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 anon i love this idea so much! power bottom olli is such a top tier idea, and aleksi as his sub who tries so hard to pleasure him is perfect! and the punishments for coming early are certainly very 🥵🥵🥵

Blind Channel: boyfriends vs one night stands

JOEL

Boyfriend Joel is incredibly jealous and protective. Despite that, he lets you wear whatever you want, since he’s not afraid of starting fights with whoever acts inappropriately towards you. He knows he’s the only one that can take your clothes off. Expect impromptu dates, he’s not one of those guys who organizes everything in detail days before. He shows his possessiveness by caressing your thigh wherever you are. Even if he tries to hide it from you, he’s a negative and pessimist guy, so make sure to comfort him.

-

One night stand Joel is not as affectionate as he would be as a boyfriend. He’s terrified of getting attached. Regardless of that, a one-night stand with him is just as intense. He's rough, he wants to manhandle you as much as he pleases and will literally do anything in order to hear your pretty moans. Expect his hands to be everywhere, on every inch of your body. Once it’s over, expect him to throw your clothes in your face. He doesn’t want you there. In fact, he walks straight to the shower telling you that your time is up.

JOONAS

Joonas is far from being a jealous and possessive boyfriend, but your attentions are like oxygen for him. He will literally drown you in kisses. Whenever you're mad, he shushes you by pressing his plump lips against yours. Whenever he demands your attention, he rests his cheek into the crook of your neck and whimpers like a puppy. If you keep ignoring him, he might bite just a little too hard. When you have the chance to sleep in the same bed as him, you love resting your head on his chest just to feel his fingers caressing your hair.

-

Joonas’ approach with women is confident, lively, and sensual. It’s useless to say that he immediately convinced you to spend the night with him. You’re surprised to find out how vocal he is in bed. He moans and grunts loudly as he whispers in your ear the dirtiest words you've ever heard. He wants you to come before than he does and for that, he has plenty of tricks up to his sleeve. He buries his face in between your legs and literally devours you, his skillful tongue makes you tremble. Expect lots of marks on your skin. The way your body writhes beneath him arouses him to the point of wanting to claim you. Also, he is nicer than Joel and he won't let you go for the night.

OLLI

Olli is an extremely caring and thoughtful boyfriend. He shows his love in many different ways: from picking you up with his car wherever you are to cook delicious meals for you. His only goal is to spoil you and make you feel loved since it makes him so damn happy. When you’re the one cooking he always hugs you from behind and hides his face in your hair; your natural perfume is the only thing that reassures him. He would leave a long trail of kisses on your skin, trying not to giggle when you get goosebumps and try to get away from his grip. “You’ll cook later, ok?” he softly whispers in your ear, right before walking you to the couch.

He is a passionate lover, he makes love, not sex– got it?

-

It’s rare for Olli to have a one-night stand, because he feels the need to establish a sort of emotional connection with the other person. If you do manage to get that connection, expect his hands all over you. His hands are magical; he knows how to use his long, skilled fingers as he thrusts them slowly inside of you, with his thumb caressing your clit. He presses his lips against yours just to swallow those needy moans of yours. When he penetrates you, he wants you to lay beneath him, with your legs wrapped around his waist so you can pull him closer and let him roll his hips against yours. He is rough, yet passionate. Your high-pitched moans make him want to hold you tighter. He furrows his brows and bites his lip; his fingers intertwine with yours when he's about to cum. He is the king of the aftercare. He will pamper you even though it is just a one-night stand. Expect to take a bath with him only to end up having a round two in the tub.

NIKO

Boyfriend Niko treats you like a spoiled princess, he’s really protective and he would do anything to keep you safe. He’s very romantic, he adores serenading you and it gets even better if you start playing or singing with him. His mood significantly improves just by cuddling with you on the couch. You spend many afternoons just like this, talking about this and that while exchanging tender kisses. He can’t keep his hands to himself and always manages to persuade you, knowing full well that you’re just as eager.

-

Niko is not a one-night stand guy, but he would certainly not pass over the opportunity to sleep with someone fawning over him. He adores being seduced and feeling like the main subject of your attention, so if you asked him to spend the night together, how could he refuse? He’s extremely caring and passionate in this case as well, he loves the feeling of your skin touching so much that he might leave some bruises on your body. He wants to make this night unforgettable for both of you. Expect marks and kisses all over your body. He will have you sit on his face and make you grind your hips at your own pace. He wants to be used however you please to make you come hard and fast.

TOMMI

Boyfriend Tommi is very empathetic and sensitive, extremely vengeful towards those who hurt you. He remembers all of their names. He wants to be constantly reassured and appreciated since his sensible nature makes him turn quiet and cold pretty easily. He loves the height difference between you two; he adores picking you up, helping you grab objects that you can’t reach, he loves making your head rest on his chest and hug you with his strong arms. You feel safe and protected with him. Since he’s a very private and reserved person, almost taciturn, he’s always unpredictable, regardless of how well you know him. One moment he’s joking and teasing you, a second later you can feel his arms lifting you up to kiss you passionately.

-

Since Tommi is so unpredictable, he acts completely different during a one-night stand. He’s less affectionate and rougher. The fact that he might break you excites him, he becomes more vocal since he loves dirty talking. His voice is so deep and hoarse when he whispers the nastiest things you’ve ever heard, he wants to remind you that he has complete control over you and he likes it when you’re so submissive, and so good for him even when you’re the one bouncing on his cock. You shiver in excitement when you notice that his large hand can wrap your neck completely, making you feel incredibly small.

ALEKSI

Surprisingly, Aleksi is quite obsessive and jealous as a boyfriend. We’re not assuming things, just check his birth chart. He gets flustered quite easily and it’s funny seeing him blush whenever you shower him with compliments. It’s an adorable sight, he wants to be the best boyfriend for you. The thought of you leaving him for another man haunts his thoughts; be careful, he might suddenly wake up in the middle of the night looking for you to comfort him. He is a shy yet affectionate boyfriend, he wants to be held, he loves resting his head on your chest and nuzzling his face lovingly against your skin while you play with his hair.

-

He’s definitely not into one-night stands, he might be after a few drinks though. The drunker he gets the more he craves physical touch. He would certainly let you have his way with him. He wants someone to take care of him in bed and treat him like the good puppy he is. He wants to feel your hands caressing and scratching his soft, sensitive skin. He’s a whimpering mess once he buries his dick inside of you, the way your walls deliciously embrace his length makes him see stars. He can't bring himself to make eye contact with you as he fucks you in a missionary position. Sweet, reassuring words slip out of your mouth as you watch him lose control over the rhythm he created. Flustered, he hides face into the crook of your neck and bites onto that spot harshly, wanting to shut you up somehow. After you cum, he's extremely cuddly. Please hold him, he really needs it.

[paleangels13]

Alright I decided to simply post the snippet because... Why not 🤷🏼‍♀️

So have a second snippet of the a/b/o fic... 👀🔥

“How do you want me, alpha?” Joonas hummed, staring up at Joel through his lashes after breaking the kiss. 

“As much as I like seeing your pretty face, and believe me I do,” Joel started while pulling back and sitting back on his heels. “Turn around. You wanted me rough so that’s what you’ll get.”

Joonas grinned, pushing himself up with his arms. “Didn’t you forget something?” he smiled innocently, immediately realizing how the atmosphere changed just a little. 

Joel huffed, staring down at Joonas. “Oh, sorry if I didn’t make myself clear enough, princess. I said: present!” Joel growled his demand, to which Joonas instantly obeyed now.

Joonas turned onto his knees and hands, stealing a quick kiss from Aleksi on the way before slightly pushing his ass up to present for Joel. “Better, but not perfect. And you wanna be a perfect little omega for us, don’t you?” Joel hummed, hands roaming over Joonas’ body.

“Y-yes, I- ugh!” Joonas started, tripping over his own words when Joel’s hand reached between his shoulder blades and pressed him down onto the sofa. 

“This was rhetorical. I know you love it. Love to be so good for all of us,” Joel said, keeping Joonas down with one hand while the other one caressed the pale skin for a moment. 

Then, without further warning, Joel lifted the hand before bringing it back to the skin with a light slap on Joonas’ ass. 

[milirii]

Have you guys seen Barbie movie Princess and the Pauper? I rewatched it with my sister today and it gave me toughts. I could probably make an AU out of it with Joel and Niko as the princess (prince? Idk) and the poor one and Aleksi and Joonas as the teacher and the young king? (and Tommi and Olli as their cats? 😂 I haven't thought it that much yet)

But like? Is there anyone who is in that kind of things? 😂 I probably will write something for the fun of it and just for myself, but would maybe be fun to post it eventually too 🤔

[ao3littlelesshuman]

CAUSE I HAVE A VERY ACTIVE BRAIN RIGHT NOW I GUESS I ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION, kind of...... anyways grumpy Joonas, polycule with Aleksi and Joel ficlet below the cut~

~~~~~

Joonas makes a face at Joel’s phone screen when he holds it out for approval of the photo. Joel sees it, too—Aleksi watches his shoulders tense up as he tries not to broadcast his anticipation of the complaint that follows.

“No, I don’t like how I look,” Joonas says, just short of a whine.

“Well I took it three times,” Joel says, failing to hold back an eyeroll, “can I just crop you out?”

“Whatever,” Joonas huffs out, looking away from Joel and over his shoulder, out over the water.

Joel shouldn’t even respond, and Aleksi knows that he knows that, but Aleksi also knows it’s against the odds to hope for. The two of them are so inextricable that each can hardly feel something without the other absorbing it, echoing it. It’s great when they’re on some kind of an emotional high and the two of them can pretty much carry a crowd between their mutually amplified enthusiasm. But at times like this...

“You’re being such a fucking princess,” Joel seethes, just audibly.

Aleksi squeezes his eyes closed behind his sunglasses, already strategizing about how to mediate the conflict. Joonas’ head snaps back around to focus on Joel, but he’s standing up to excuse himself to the bathroom already. Probably for the best.

“Hey,” Aleksi says softly once Joel’s quite a few paces away. “He didn’t mean that.”

Joonas’ head ducks towards the table and his eyes flick up over the oversized frames of his sunglasses. They look glassy. Aleks leans in, sliding a hand to the center of the table where Joonas has his resting; Aleksi grips it gently, rubbing his thumb over the edge of Joonas’ wrist. Joonas sniffles a little and clears his throat to try to cover it. 

Aleksi feels bad. Awful, really—he didn’t get it right this time. He and Joonas were supposed to have the whole day together, but Joel’s freak out last night turned into sleeping too late this morning, which turned into yeah, I’m sure it’s fine if you stay just for lunch.

Aleksi looks Joonas in the eyes, pulling his own sunglasses down to do so. “I’m sorry,” he says, soft again to draw as little attention as possible, not wanting to make Joonas more self-conscious. “I fucked up today. I’m really sorry.”

Joonas nods imperceptibly, eyes closing.

“I’ll ask him to go, okay?”

Joonas nods again. He opens his eyes, silently mouthing a thanks. Aleksi smiles tentatively as he looks him over, all pouty lips and deep blue eyes and soft curls bouncing in the sea breeze. Even dismayed and hiding behind his 2000s tabloid cover shades, there’s something essential about Joonas that’s like a ray of sunshine in a human disguise.

“You look cute today,” Aleksi tells him. “You want to take another one?” He nods at Joonas’ phone sitting face down between them at the table.

Joonas shrugs, “yeah.”

Aleksi stays in close, elbows propped on the table as Joonas swivels the camera around to capture them both. He’s still pouting a little in the process, but he actually smiles down at the screen when he’s reviewing the clip. Aleksi breathes a sigh of relief despite knowing he has plenty of making up left to do today. He spots Joel among the tables between them and the door to the café, making a beeline.

“Just a second,” Aleksi says, standing.

Joonas glances for a split second to make the connection. He nods again, blowing Aleksi a tiny kiss as he shuffles away from his chair. It’s enough motivation for Aleksi to steel his nerves and head over to Joel and gently shoo him away for the afternoon.

I think Olli would be the best boyfriend when I'm sick. Like he would take such good care of me and treat me so well. He would make such a fuss about everything to make sure I'm alright, make me food and even spoon feed me if I'm sick enough (..or if I'm just pretending to be more ill than I actually am, to have olli be extra caring 🙈) I can just see that he has mother hen instincts when someone is ill.

Do you have specific things you think any of the bc guys would be good at as boyfriends?

this is such a cute thought 😭😭

i think ale would be great at helping you handle crises. like im extremely anxious and i get episodes often and i think aleksi would be able to be there for me just right 🥺 he's so sweet and patient!! irl i often make people angry with my obsessions and compulsions so they invalidate my feelings and it gets worse for me, i think ale would never do that

i think niko would be a master in making you relax. like imagine a spa day or a little holiday at a secluded cabin in lapland. he'd organize the most relaxing trip/activity

joonas would be the fashion boyfriend you can engage in girly activities with which is all i want from a relationship tbh. he'd be the best company, both a lover and a best friend

tommi would be great at making you feel like a princess. he wouldn't even need to do anything, just be his huge self and treat you kindly to make you feel like the safest, luckiest princess in the world. no one could come close to you bc tommi is there to protect you and im getting horny just by typing this tbh

i think joel would be the wet rat pathetic boyfriend but in a very endearing way 🥺 maybe you're the first person he's had deep feelings for in a while and he's a bit clumsy at showing you how much he cares but he'd try his best 🩷 idk what he could be great at as a boyfriend, but i do think his enthusiasm and excitement would be contagious so he'd often make you feel like you're on top of the world

[theflyingfeeling]

Moomin inspired fic-ideas? 👀 Yes please let's discuss we need more Moomins!! 🥺🥺

Moomin AU brainstorming!! 😍

We already got Joel as the Invisible Child, right? Been treated so horribly by the people in his past, but then these 5 dorks adopt him and make him a part of their found family, and little by little Joel starts feeling like himself and becomes visible again? 🥺

Aleksi as the water nymph everyone becomes enamored with? 😵

Someone (Olli?) suffering from memory loss after he banged his head and now he thinks he's a princess? 😂

Oh, and besides the Moominpappa's memoir episodes my absolutely favourites have always been the Moominsummer Madness ones! What could we make out of those? 🤔 Joonas and who sleeping in the hammock while the theatre floats away for sure, but what else?

id tell aleksi he's the sweetest guy ever and him being so nerdy is absolutely adorable

id tell joonas his blueberry eyes and golden ringlets make him look like an angel

id tell niko i love how his eyes shine gold in the sunlight. also that his smug grin isn't fooling anyone

id tell olli he's a sex god 😳

id tell tommi his imperturbable facade is sexy af

Normally it’s Joonas who always wants to adopt every dog and cat he sees on the street (sometimes the occasinal bird and squirrel, and Joel swears he’s some kind of dark Disney Princess), but then one day Joel comes home (rather his flat that only felt like home recently with the arrival of Joonas) and Joonas thinks “Yes, finally I got him around to actually adopt a pet” and then Joel steps aside and there’s just a very scared Aleksi who doesn’t know what’s happening, and Joel has this guilty expression on his face like he knows he’s done something he shouldn’t but Joonas takes one look at Aleksi and melts and instantly shifts into mother mode.

Vampire Joel! Be like "so I kidnapped you AND this baby so maybe we can raise it together?" 😂

Joel comes home like "I brought you something 🥰" and you expect like a flower or whatever and mf hands you an infant

Hi, I enjoy your takes on different aus so much!

How about princesses fairytale au (maybe based on classic one like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty or another, or just some random story) with Niko as not-so-conventional princess and, hmm, Olli as a prince? 👀

Hiiiii! ✨ Thank you anon! 🥰 Yes yes of course, I love fairytales! Also, Niko/Olli hell yeaaaah 💕 This turned out a very wintery fairytale btw, for some reason. Sorry it's not as fairytale-ish as you probably expected it to! I wanted to come up with something of my own.. 🌞

PS. I had princess fairytale AU thoughts back in November already 😌

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom in the cold, cold north there was a princess who absolutely hated everything.

He hated the dull life of the palace that provided no other entertainment safe for the organ in the grand hall, a royal family heirloom that was past its prime for at least half a century. Perhaps the unfortunate condition of the instrument was exactly the reason why Niko, the princess in our story, took immense joy in playing it in the most ridiculous of hours, namely in the evening after supper, or early in the morn, particularly on those nights when his bed remained empty for most of it. He didn't do it to inconvenience anyone, per se (except for those times that the totally did); it just happened that his creative vessels flowed most forcefully when the sun was not there to hear it.

Perhaps it was an act of revenge of some sort for the brightest star in the galaxy abandoning them for entire months during winter time, which Niko had always thought was most unreasonable and, to be honest, somewhat petty.

Because even more than his royal duties, he hated how the winter killed all that made Niko's life bearable outside the castle: it sent the birds away to warmer, far-flung lands Niko had only read about from his childhood story books; it killed the flowers and put the instincts to sleep, and every spring Niko worried if they would know to wake up again. The winter even wrenched his cousin Aleksi right from Niko's hands, his dear Aleksi who might as well have been his own flesh and blood if he wasn't an orphan adopted by Niko's uncle, although in the summers they spent together hiding away in the royal cabin by the lake, Niko was thankful he wasn't, for their fathers would surely have suffered heart failures if they had known what their sons got up to when the guards had been sent off to pick them some berries for breakfast.

When Niko was a child, his mother had often told him a story about how the sun, when on the first day of spring it finally returned from its long voyage, would give you all its treasures for the small price of greeting it by showing with all your heart how deeply it was missed during the polar night. Particularly his mother liked to tell this story on the anniversary of Niko's birth, always one of the darkest days of the winter. According to Niko's mother, the sun had decided to make an exceptionally early appearance on the eve of Niko's first birthday, and his mother had been the first one to welcome it back.

"The next day, my greatest treasure was born," she then said, and Niko rolled his eyes.

He didn't think he owed the sun anything, least of all gratitude for seeing it fit to show up at last, after having them wander about in darkness for weeks in a row.

"Aren't you thankful for the aurora though? It was exceptionally stunning last night," his friend Joonas, the court's fisherman's son asked him.

"As if you would have even seen it if I hadn't woken you up," Joonas' companion Joel grumbled, breaking into a smile when Joonas rested his hooded head on his shoulder.

"The nothern lights are nothing but an illusion," Niko answered, ignoring Joonas' frown. "The sun is real at least."

"You say that now," said Tommi, whose shaman mother kept warning the kingdom about a time to come when the sun would eat up everything in its way, leaving behind nothing but desolation, if you failed to show it courtesy.

However, not even the beauty of the aurora nor the ominous prophecies of Tommi's mother could change Niko' opinion on the sun being a selfish bitch.

"Language!" the king snapped at him at the banquet of Saint Knut's Day. The dukes and the marquis on the other side of the table scowled at Niko.

"Only speaking the truth," he shrugged, lifting his wine goblet to this mouth. "Why else would it dump us like a soaked bath linen every November, huh? I bet not even all of your honourable noblemen's mistresses are as hasty in their movements when--"

"Is this how you allow your heir to speak to us?" The marquess' eyes were about to pop from their sockets out of sheer devastation.

"Surely not," the king grumbled, and with one, meaningful glare of his ice cold eyes, dismissed Niko to his chambers.

As if, Niko chuckled. In the deserted entrance hall of the palace, instead of taking a right towards the stairs leading to the chambers, he turned left and took his winter coat.

He headed to the stables and fetched his favourite deer to keep him company on his way to the lake cabin. His mother hated when Niko wandered off in the dark hours, but realising she was fighting a battle she could not win, she had at least make Niko promise he would not go alone. To her misfortune, she had not been more specific than that.

Niko growled at the snow sneaking into his boots, and was happy to at last arrive at the cabin. Then, he saw something he should not have seen in the middle of January: there was smoke coming out of the chimney.

He glanced at the deer, as if it had known about the matter any more than Niko did. The aurora provided him just enough light to look around himself and see no footsteps on the snow other than those of his own and his four-legged friend's.

"Well," Niko said, "if whatever's in there has come to get me for disrespecting his majesty the sun, then at least you will know I was right about its pettiness, right?" he asked the deer, who only stared ahead in its silent, deer-like way.

The snow crunched under their feet as they walked closer, and on the front porch Niko finally saw the source of the smoke: someone had lit the fireplace.

And when Niko reached for the door handle, someone yelped.

"Woah!" the someone said, and then the someone screamed "ouch!" as it dropped an armful of firewood on its toes.

The deer grunted, ripped its leash from Niko's hand and ran away the same way they had come. Niko was about to follow his friend's example, until he remembered that this was his cabin, and that it was the someone who should be running, and they should do it fast.

"What business?" he confronted the someone, who was now groaning on the plank floor of the porch, rubbing his toes.

"Geez, you scared the daylight out of me," he moaned, ignoring the question.

"Will you state me your business, or shall I state it for you? You are on private land."

"Aye, but I was thrown off the sledge and got lost. This was the first house I encountered. It seemed uninhabited."

"Well, it's not," Niko asserted. The peak of the aurora had passed, and Niko had to squint to see who he was speaking with. The glow of the fireplace from the cabin barely revealed a short wavy hair and dark eyes.

"I'm deeply sorry for intruding," the someone said, "but I really don't know where else to go."

"Where was your party headed to? I could fetch you a horse and give the directions."

"This may sound odd, but," the someone chuckled, "I couldn't tell you where I was being taken to even if I wanted to. I only know I was never meant to arrive there."

Maybe it was the someone's words, or maybe it was the wind blowing from the lake, but Niko suddenly felt even colder than a moment ago.

"I see," he said. He thought for a while, then asked: "What's your crime?" He needed to know whether he was face-to-face with a runaway or a convict.

"Love, it appears."

A runaway it was.

"Pick those up," he ordered, pointing at the logs spread at their feet. "We musn't let the fire die out."

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

The cracking of the firewood accompanied their silent thoughts as they sat on the floor in front of it. The someone was to speak first.

"May I know your name? I'd like to know whose mercifulness I owe my life."

Niko's eyes stayed on the flames.

"Call me Niko," he answered.

"Niko," the someone repeated, as if testing the sound in his mouth. "And you can call me Olli."

Niko nodded. "I will."

Ever so smooth, he could almost hear Aleksi's playful voice in his ears.

"How long have you lived here?"

"In this cabin?"

Olli's curls waved as he nodded.

"My whole life, more or less." It wasn't too far from the truth.

"Then why did it look so abandoned?"

Niko frowned and reached for a new log to be thrown in the flames.

"Ask the sun."

"The sun?"

When Niko didn't elaborate, Olli seemed to drop the subject.

"Well, you should consider yourself lucky, to have a place of your own," Olli said. "I never did," he added quietly.

"Where do you come from?" Niko asked. It seemed as if the man had appeared out of nowhere.

"It hardly matters," he replied. "I'm never going back anyway."

Niko lowered his head; as much as he sometimes resented the castle, it was still a home to him, a place he could always return to, even after running away at night. When he tried his father's patience, he was only ever sent to his chambers.

"Where would you go, then? If you had the means."

"You ask a lot of questions," Olli smiled. The flames heated up Niko's cheeks.

"You are an intruder in my cabin. I believe I'm entitled to an answer or two."

Olli laughed softly. "The north, I guess."

"The north?" Niko frowned. "We're in it!"

The laughter grew even softer. "Yes, but don't you ever wonder what's even further beyond the polar circle?"

"Not particularly," Niko mumbled. "I know enough to tell you what's not there."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Oh," Olli chuckled, "I don't think that's true."

"And how would you know, huh? You've never been there either, have you."

"I have not," Olli confirmed, "but I have dreamt about it."

"What dull dreams they must have been," Niko said gloomily.

"Quite the contrary. I nearly forgot to breathe upon seeing the loveliness of it all. My servant almost called the medic to bring me back to life."

"Your who?"

The question was brushed off again. "There were acre after acre of those tiny white diamonds everywhere, even on the trees. It was as if the moon knew exactly where to glow to reveal them all."

Olli's eyes glistened as he stared in to the fire, then he closed his eyes. "But the most wonderful thing was the sound."

Niko's eyebrows knit together. In all the winters he had experienced in his life, the only sounds he had heard were the empty echo of the palace and the silence of the woods as it stared at him sullenly when he looked out the windows of the throne room.

"The sound? The winter has no sound."

Olli's expression grew concerned. "You don't hear it? It's the same sound you hear everywhere in winter, if you stop to listen."

"There is nothing to hear. In dreams, maybe, but not in the real world."

"Oh," Olli said to the flames. He seemed to be thinking. "Then forget about it, I suppose."

Alas, Niko had never been one to follow orders.

"What does it sound like, then?"

Dark eyes turned to look at him.

"Would you like me to show you?"

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

At first, Niko heard nothing, and was all but ready to go back inside to warm himself in front of the fireplace again.

"You won't hear it if you keep glaring at it like that," Olli remarked.

"And how am I expected to do it, huh? Shall I fall to my knees and beg for the honoured noises to enter my ears?"

"Perhaps you should try shutting up first."

Squinting his eyes, Niko could just see the smirk ghosting on the other man's lips.

"And close your eyes," Olli commanded, showing example. "That often helps."

For once, Niko did as he was told and closed his own. At first it did nothing more to his hearing than it did to his eyesight, the inside of his eyelids being just as pitch black as the view on the frozen lake from the porch of his cabin.

He didn't hear anything for a long while, and if Olli hadn't grabbed his hand in his just in time, he would have given up and gone back inside.

"Now," he said. "Do you hear it?"

Niko was about to shake his head, until he did hear it.

It started off as quiet, distant hissing, like some giant arctic snake was making its way towards them, and Niko found himself squeezing Olli's hand tighter.

However, the noise stayed somewhere behind the woods, but the more Niko listened, the stronger its roaring became. After the initial fright, Niko realised it was more calming than threatening. Reassuring, almost.

"It's the Great Rapids, I think," Olli said. "You wouldn't hear it in the summer, would you? From behind all the birdsong and the rustle of the wind in the birches. But it's there, all alone. Been there all this time."

Suddenly the sound was becoming overwhelming to Niko. He couldn't explain why.

"And the quiet whistle? Can you hear it?" Olli asked.

Niko had to concentrate again, but he could pick up a weak, high sound, almost like a cry.

"That's the lake," Olli explained. "And of course I don't speak lake, but I think it's asking you where you've been. I suppose you don't leave the insides of that cabin of yours very often, do you."

Niko thought about the blue waves glistening under the midnight sun. He blinked his eyes open, shocked by the sudden moisture in them.

Perhaps it was just the wind.

He turned, with the intention to go back to the warmt of the cabin.

Instead, he was met by the warmth of Olli's mouth.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

The fire had died down over the night, but the bed was still as warm as it had been when they had fell on it.

Olli's skin was as soft as the wolly blankets they were nestled in, his breathing as calm as the wind outside the cabin. It was enough to lull Niko back to sleep, only to be awakened hours later by a light hitting his eyes.

The sun.

One of its rays pointed through the curtains at Olli's chest. Niko's finger traced the royal symbol tattooed there.

Niko looked out the window and smiled. He hoped it would be warm enough a welcome.

THE END
