@despairgnome hi hi!! thank you :-)

reader is big on the don't feed wild critters policy (people feeding ducks bread is a common occurrence, you are supposed to give them peas bc the bread swells up from the water and can hurt the ducks, reader bullies ignorant park-goers and throws bags of peas at them)

they have a soft spot for EJ and make an exception to the rule, bringing him sandwiches and thermoses of soup for lunch and a water bottle with ice in it

ah this made me happy, here is a drawing

The very first planet Gepard ever visits, Sampo warns him about time.

"So," he hums, somehow maintaining his cheery tone but sounding stern. "Time is like... weird. Okay?"

He stops and stares. They're standing in some sort of boulevard, an empty promenade of red cobble bricks and neat trees with discolored blue leaves that curl in odd ways. It's early, or maybe midnight for this strange planet, because they're completely alone. Gepard is glad for the solitude, the chance to adjust. Something about the air feels sweet on his tongue, the bright, celestial bodies in the sky painted the world pale purple and sent flickering solid shards of light shifting through the air. He swears he can feel the slow, lazy rotation of the planet in his bones.

Sampo Koski is, of course, completely unaffected; he's walking alongside Gepard, along some thin, raised platform between the writhing garden bed and the street. He smacks a hand against Gepard's shoulder every time his balance waivers.

Sampo is still now, though, quiet and looking at Gepard. He realizes he's expected some respond to whatever he said. Gepard blinks owlishly. "Huh?"

Sampo snorts, his laugh genuine as he smiles at Gepard. He swears he can feel Sampo's laugh, goosebumps rising where it brushes over his skin. It might be the effect the planet has on him, but Gepard's pretty sure it's actually the effect Sampo has on him. The uncanny glow of solid light and the violet tint the dark sky that drapes over Sampo definitely doesn't help him or his heart.

"I mean," Sampo hums, pausing to tap and a shard of light near him, the small contact sending it flickering into smaller and smaller angular shapes before vanishing. "Time is weird. It's weird everywhere but especially here. This planet is located in some sort of temporal anomaly that makes time stop going in one line and creates a... bend in the timeline, I guess?"

"That makes no sense," Gepard says, because it doesn't. Sampo nods as if he said the opposite. "Exactly! Technically, we are currently... it's not today, but it's two days ago."

"But..." Gepard frowns, hand on his chin. His head hurts the slightest bit, either Sampo being the cause as usual, or the strange not-dark darkness of the planet's night. "Two days ago we were still on the Astral Express. But we're here."

"We're on the Express, but also here."

Gepard stares at him, expecting Sampo to laugh and call Gepard gullible or giggle at his own shitty joke. When he doesn't Gepard groans. "I don't want to think about this."

Sampo laughs again, loud and Gepard's skin tingles. "It's true, I swear! It doesn't make sense because it doesn't. Look at your texts then." Gepard listens at Sampo's prodding, literally standing beside him and poking him in his ribs. Gepard smacks his hand away lightly as he opens his messages with Serval. Sampo unabashedly stands behind him, rests his chin on his shoulder. Gepard's hands shake a little and he can feel Sampo's grin against his cheek.

He'd been messaging Serval every day, just as he'd promised when he'd told his sister that he was leaving the planet. He'd sent her photos of the stars from the Express, of the room they'd given Sampo and him, one particular photo of Sampo having fallen asleep on a couch in the common area with a teacup that Stelle had agonisingly balanced on his forehead.

He had sent her photos of the plant they are on, too, but the photo of Sampo sleeping from two days ago is the last thing he sent. It shouldn't be, but it is.

"Did you seriously send Serval that?" Sampo whines, digging his chin into Gepard's collarbone. "Awww, c'mon! My reputation with your sister is already in tatters! Don't give her blackmail material against me."

"She wouldn't blackmail you," Gepard says automatically, although he sounds unsure. Sampo snorts and steps away and Gepard misses his warmth. "So are we... in two places at once? Can I message you and stop you from getting us kicked off the Astral Express?"

"No-- wait, hey! C'mon, it wasn't my fault--"

"You broke Himeko's coffee machine. How is that not your fault?"

"I wasn't broken" he pouts, ruffling his hair and sending fragments of light flying, "it was... in a state of reconstruction! For all they know I was going to make the coffee machine better, completely free of charge! They had no reason to exile us like that."

"You. They kicked you out," Gepard corrects, "you're lucky I didn't take Himeko's offer to stay with them." Sampo throws his head back and laughs, his hair bending in the windless air like he's under water. Gepard can't help but smile at him, heart inflated in the silence.

They walk a moment, around pristine buildings made up of red shimmering bricks, intricate windows glowing faintly. The tree-like plants, tall spindly things with feather-like leaves, seem to bend and swirl as they walk by.

Sampo, as always, can't stay silent. "The time thing on Silap-Inua is really, really wild because you can actually see it."

"what do you..." Gepard trails off as Sampo stands right in front of him, looking weirdly giddy and excited. "You can see it, right?" He says, slowly lifting his arm and waving it. Gepard frowns, watching the strange way his slow movements seem to stutter, as if Sampo is moving between stillness. Gepard blinks, looking around at the flickering light crystals, the stilted, jittery movement of swaying trees. "...Woah."

"I know right?" Sampo is brimming with excitement, the feeling of his ecstatic joy contagious, making Gepard smile. "Time is cut in half, or something. I don't know someone tried explaining it to me years ago but I was too busy thinking about what I could use this for."

Gepard frowns at that, Sampo meeting his scowl. "What do you mean by that? Use the time... thing for what?" His smile is bright, bright, almost enough to make Gepard oblivious to the mischievous glint in his eyes, the sly tilt of his head.

"You see, if you move fast enough..." He hums, suddenly blinking out of Gepard's sight with his last word. Gepard balks, steps back, his vision overtaken in the next second by blue hair and bright green eyes and the overwhelming intoxicating feeling of lips on his.

Sampo is gone before Gepard can pull Sampo into his skin or recoil or nudge him back, whatever it was he intended as he'd raised his arms to grab him. "S-Sampo!" He chokes out instead, a laugh behind him making him spin around.

Sampo was close, close, and his movements brief snapshots as he smoothed fingers over Gepard jaw, cheekbones, a thumb at the corner of his lips as he held his face. Gepard knew without a doubt he was blushing bright red, Sampo tracing the small, near-nonexistent freckles the redness of his skin brought out.

There was shards of light just overhead, flicking gold in Sampo's irises. Sampo's breath was a shiver over Gepard's skin his fingerprints were leaving burning marks over his neck and face. Gepard didn't realize he'd grabbed Sampo's hands, his fingers like soft handcuffs around his wrists and keeping him in place.

He made a gutted sound in the back of is throat and Sampo smiled like he understood what Gepard was too choked to say. Gepard was ready to lean in when Sampo kissed him again.

They stood for a long stretched moment, the planet spinning under Gepard's feet and in his bones, Sampo's breath and warmth and the sure line of his figure against Gepard's keeping him from spinning into space. It was getting light out, probably, if the purple sky burning into shades of orange and pink was anything to go by.

Sampo hums. "The time thing makes stealing a ship on Silap-Inua really easy, too."

Gepard leaned back and peeled Sampo's reaching hands from his shoulders. "Don't you dare." His laugh sends sparks down his spine.

[collegeboysam]

ok I just finished reading the whole fic again as well as the new chapter and as the anon who had previously said I would love the big 30k word count chapter this is me eagerly waiting for the second half

(in your own time of course, but I'm looking forward to it!) will leave you a comment under ao3 in a bit!!! thank you sm for this work <3

ADSFAFFSFSDF Please PLEASE know I have read your long comment maybe around 10 times. It has fed me. It has kept me warm during winter. Your incredibly lovely, detailed, long comment—along with everyone who left me asks and comments these past days—have provided me with the strenght needed to post Chapter 5 this upcoming week 🥰

Thank you for taking the time to read the entire fic again AND for leaving such an incredible comment. It's true that any and all comments, kudos and interactions with the fic hype me up to keep on updating, but it's really special when someone writes in detail what they liked, what they hope to see in the story and even leave me questions about the pot that make me wanna add even more details to the story. Be sure I'll be replying to your comment on AO3 as well! 😍

Thank YOU for this ask, for being so encouraging AND I can tell you the remaining half of the 35k will drop in the upcoming days in Aemond's POV. And that gif is a pretty accurate description of how Aemond and Luke will be with one another in it 😏😏😏

no one knows how happy I get when @simonzmama posts

[c-kiddo]

(Follow up on ask) I want to try real hard to hike some part of the highlands, so anywhere up there really that I could get to by train.

And I’m also trying to go into Edinburgh to look around a bit! 🌿💚

(Also no pressure cause that is a big ask, just curious)

ah ok, highlands via train would be like west coast line up to fort william/mallaig, and tbh not super familiar with the areas (except for oban, which you can get a ferry to iona or mull etc from, which mull is vry nice. but check ferry things for that. also if you get off at luss or earlier at balloch you can get boat rides across loch lomond. loch lomond is so <3 i love going into the hills around there, haven't been to the arrochar alps tho which are on the side the train stations are on) Or you can get the train up from glasgow queen street in the inverness direction. i havent been to inverness but dunkeld & birnam on the way is very cute and has rly nice hikes from it (birnam hill!!, the hermitage!!, loch of the lowes). aviemore also has nice hikes going out from it (craigellachie nature reserve, plus steamtrain line up further north to abernethy forest type area maybe??? double check that). i'd stick to those lines rly for highland stuff. dont bother with aberdeen ive been told be so many people at this point (including from there) not to bother lol. its just boring. (unless youre using it to get on a ferry to orkney or shetland). .. hrmrmrmm for edinburgh. i am a bit of an edinburgh hater ,however the botanic gardens, the national gallery of scotland and lighthouse books are all nice. botanics are huge and nicely themed areas (and free except for the glasshouses which i've never been in) (but also out of th way of the city centre). national gallery has good stuff. lighthouse books is a queer-owned indie bookshop and has a rly nice selection of queer and political books but also various other local writers and things like that. its just rly nice. also Hadeel is palestinian gift shop items, so thats cool to go to i havent been tho. One world shop is also a nice fairtrade type shop. also i went to both holy cow cafe and lounge and the food was good . i will say tho that you absolutely can get into the highlands via edinburgh waverly but glasgow central + glasgow queen street have the west coast line + inverness route too, you'll need to go into glasgow for th west coast, in case you want to plan around that.

I know it’s not a big deal, but I just love it when they call each other best friend. It’s so cute 🥺

I love that too because it reminds me that they are really friends you know. I feel like in today's world it's easy to think everything is manufactured and for sale and so obviously two men being friends play it up for the camera. And while obviously everyone has an 'on' personality for camera so they do that they are also friends and genuinely like each other. It makes me go !!!! every time they do that. Like bfu's supernatural season 6 where Shane says "we're friends, you're my friend" every second episode or so. Or whenever they're like "Yeah it's safe to say I spend the most time with him for the last five years". I think that when they say this it really hits me that "oh these are not fake things made for the show we can really see two people being friends and then filming that".

I think what's also fascinating and cute to me is that they met later in life compared to other youtuber duos who make videos together and have chemistry like that, and I think it's very nice. If I didn't know better I'd say they surely knew each other for years before starting making videos but when bfu starts they are like colleagues and for Ryan "I don't make friends at work" to then go and make something together with two of the people he met at work... Idk I think it's really fascinating that we get to see the progress of their friendship as the years go.

I think it takes a lot to not be bored of each other and continuing making content after knowing each other for so long. It's really great, and whenever I'm like "Oh they are really friends" it's the same vibe when you get to meet them and see that they are really the same irl as they are on camera and are not faking their friendship. Idk I think that's great, and kind of a big deal to see a healthy portrayal of friendship yknow.
