life's too short for toast (or spoons. or napkins)

for day 11 of @flufftober! more Miskit and co shenanigans, and it's up on ao3 here!

Sock wove through the bustling streets like thread in a needle, keen ears picking up on vendors barking their services since she was too short to see them. The bags at her side were growing heavy, but there was just enough space for one more purchase; she would not go home without it. If memory served her right, what she was looking for was just a left turn away. Through the noise of shoppers and vendors, the man’s shouting cut through cleanly:

Homemade jams and preserves! Best in the Outlands!

There it was. Winner-winner-toast-for-dinner. She made a beeline towards the call, apologies and excuse me’s only half-bothered as she snaked through the market. Sock approached the jam-seller from the side, borrowing a nearby crate to stand on to make herself visible.

“Well if it ain’t good ol’ Socket Wrench!” the vendor greeted her with a wide smile, “how’s your shop doing? That boy’s still helping out?”

“Yeah, whenever I can track him down,” she laughed, “sharp as a whip but doesn’t have much patience for welding. Whatcha got today?”

“Ah, today we got the usual grape and raspberry ,then we’ve got marmalade, some peach, and that there’s an apple butter we’ve been experimenting with.” he pointed to each jar as he listed its contents, and Sock was bouncing on her heels.

“‘Kay, lemme get a couple jars of those peaches, three marmalades, and four raspberries.”

“Stocking up for winter already?”

“That boy”, she shook her head, “he’ll tear through ‘em in a sitting if you let him.”

*

Miskit sat crouched in front of their window, waiting for Sock’s return. Upon seeing her approach the house lugging two full bags of groceries, they tore down the stairs to meet her.

They’d nearly tackled her with the eagerness in their hug, and the smaller woman swore in surprise. He offered to take a bag from her, and she accepted. Miskit spent no time peering in and rummaging through the jars, angling for a hint of what was in them.

“I got your favorite, now help me get the rest in sighed.” She rolled her eyes, and they hoisted the bag over their shoulder, walking ahead to hold the front door. 

The two wasted no time unloading the spoils onto the kitchen table, with Fiver and Zenia there to help put food away. They talked and joked while doing so, until Fiver called out from the pantry,

“You said you got four of the raspberries? ‘Cause I’m only seeing three.”

Sock looked up, “I swear I bought four, unless-oh that little gremlin.”

Silent as moth wings, Miskit had snatched a jar and was already back in the Nest; no doubt he was up there, fingers smeared with red and jar licked clean.

Grayson Hawthorne, Jacks, Jason Grace, Dean Redding, Aaron Warner( idk i dont know the guy), Savannah Grayson, Matthias Helvar, Keefe Sencen, Nikolai Lantsov

[lyra-kane]

Grayson Hawthorne and Aaron warner are the type of men who would read the instructions manual and get the thing done perfectly.

While Jameson hawthorne and kenji kishimoto would claim "I KnOw wHat I'M doInG" then look for the manual when they realize they fucked up just to realize they feed it to the dog.

[makedonsgriva]

I’ve been reading a lot of posts where people talked about watching Yuri On Ice for the first time back when it was airing in 2016 and it really feels so heartwarming and heartbreaking because can you imagine loving a series so much and being there for it from the start only for it to get cancelled.

I watched YOI for the first time back in mid or late 2019 (don’t remember very clearly), after a friend on tumblr urged me to watch it and it just altered my brain chemistry. I watched the whole thing in a day. And then I proceeded to re watch it very soon. I was obsessed. As a baby gay who was still struggling a lot with their sexuality, never comfortable with the labels, the pronouns, all the nuances and always thinking how do I fit myself into this Queer cardboard box with neat little labels, that show rocked my shit.

Viktor and Yuri didn’t need any labels. There was no grand coming out scene, no need to fight against the world for their love and no struggle with their inner self about wtf am I doing or am I right or wrong. They literally just skated and did their work but they fell in love side by side and it was so so beautiful for me.

A part of me was also dismayed because the kiss scene was censored. The touches, the love they showed was subtle. I felt that this meant many could brush them off as friends. That maybe, just maybe, the love wasn’t as strong and maybe I was just deluding myself. It was only after I rewatched it yesterday after years, I realized how wrong I was to think that. And that in turn helped me realize the progress I’d made in my journey to accept my own queerness. Love is not about grand romantic gestures. It’s about being there for each other and lifting each other up and not caring about how the world perceives you. Especially so in queer relationships. It doesn’t matter how some people might perceive Viktor and Yuri as old pals, we know that they are in love.

They don’t have to be incredibly loud. That love is abundantly clear when Yuri asks Viktor to coach him till he retires and Viktor oh so sweetly replies that he hopes Yuri never retires. It’s clear when Yuri changes a jump in the China Cup to show his love for Viktor. It’s clear when Viktor decides to be with Yuri every step of the way from his journey from the rock bottom to the Runner Up of the Grand Prix Final.

We call everything on this ice love and oh YOI you’ll forever be iconic for giving us queers so much love.

redraw i did a lil while back! @doggirlboytits this is the drawing i was talking abt :3

[foxboyclit]

nest full of trinkets

for day 2 of @flufftober (and i might've accidentally combined it with day 23 whoops~)

read on ao3 here

Miskit rummages through a scrapheap, digging for any junk worth repurposing. The lenses in his mask scan for still-usable parts- an old robotic arm catches his eye. Yanking it out, they find the old augmentation’s in surprisingly good shape: not rusted to hell, hand miraculously still attached, functional with a few tweaks. They hold it over his head, making it wave. It catches one of Fiver’s many eyes, and the older scavenger smiles.

“Good find, Kit! ’M sure Sock will find good use for that.”

The lights adorning his mask flicker, and he tucks the folded limb in one of his large coat pockets.

It’s one of Zenia’s bad days, and Miskit has offered to keep her company. What better way to spend a low-energy day than craft night in bed? Neither of them speak, it’s too hard right now, so they make do with pointing to whatever plastic bead they cannot reach. Zenia gestures to his wrist, and Miskit holds it out, letting her slide on a bracelet. The beads are rust orange and green, and in between them is a charm of a long-dead bird. It’s not the right one, but that’s okay-an owl shaped charm probably doesn’t exist, and the thought finds him all the same. He gives her a bracelet in exchange: whatever shades of purple he could find, complete with a flower charm, and she smiles as she turns it over in her hand. 

From that day on, Miskit’s not dressed for the day without the bracelet. 

  A lover presents a swiped ring as an anniversary gift, a friend lends him a book and moves away before it’s returned, and even after they’re gone, the items still take up space in Miskit’s room. There is no paper trail for his birth family, but there can be for others in his life, nevermind the walkable space they eat up.

The room at the very top of the base is his, attached like a cupola, which is lovingly referred to as The Nest. The namesake doesn’t just apply to the tall view; the amount of boxes and jars filled with random bobbles and spare parts are something the crows would’ve envied. It’s maddening, the walls may as well have been crafted from dying plants and suncatchers and pinned up drawings. If you are not Miskit, there’s no chance in hell you’re finding anything in that room. He, somehow, keeps track of it all. Tickets to a mechfight months ago are pointed out as easily as clouds against a bright sky, and when asked why they’re still kept, his expression suggests the answer should be obvious: it was a good memory, it must be saved.

Miskit has no memory of the life he lost, but this new one offers plenty of proof.

[faerytrait]

and oh, i guess this is love i just want you to stay you know i hate giving up

the perfect ending to love day :-)
