Heheheheheeh 🤭🥵

Anywaaay time for bed for me. Back to work after my week off 😴

[skypied]

Do you have any snippets from forever and ever that you’d want to share? Specifically any fluffy bits??

Maaaan of course you ask for the fic that's been seeing the least progress. There are some super cute parts, but they are The Most Pivotal parts so I'm reluctant to share them. My fav, and the first thing I wrote that kicked off the whole thing, is Alberto's toast to Luca, which ends with Luca crying and Alberto trying to eat his notes to hide the evidence.

But here's a cute lil thing. It's apparently an Italian tradition that the groom serenade the bride from outside her home, so:

He’s woken up the same way Alberto wakes him up on all special occasions - with soft lips nuzzling against his jaw, making him chirp in surprise, with Alberto asking him what day it is and him playing oblivious until he’s being tickled and kissed breathless. All for that short moment before Alberto tells him, when he just looks at him, too sleepy and fond for any pretense to cover up the warmth in his eyes. “Like I’d ever forget,” he smiles back, just as fondly. Today though, after handing him a cup of coffee and a cornetto from their favorite bakery, Alberto doesn’t crawl back into bed to feed him, he gives him a quick kiss and asks him to wait before leaving the room. Luca cradles the mug, letting the steam warm his face. He peers curiously over the rim when Alberto returns, old banged up guitar in hand. He settles on the edge of their bed, hoisting the guitar onto his lap. “What’s all this then?” “Since we’re already breaking traditions and living in sin, I can’t be Romeo calling for his lover on the balcony.” Luca snorts, making him pout. “I swear, if you don’t let me be romantic on our wedding day-” “I’m sorry! I’m not laughing at you. Just. If we’re going for fictional comparisons, I prefer Rapunzel.” He smiles at Alberto’s eyebrows scrunching together in confusion, and reaches up to tuck a long, stray curl behind his ear. “A princess with beautiful, golden hair, rescued from her tower by a handsome prince…” His face contorts and Luca’s thumb swipes across his cheek. “Don’t cry, we have our happily ever after,” he whispers, worried his voice will crack. He puts the guitar down and Luca barely has time to set his mug on the nightstand before Alberto flops onto his chest, curls tickling his nose as he burrows into his neck. “Why can you say disgusting things when I can’t?” Luca hums and strokes his back. “Because you’re a very nice boyfriend who doesn’t cut me off the way I do you.”

MarcoSaboAce Mythical creatures Au

Oooo that’s interesting !! Plus I mean like Come On anything with magic / mythos has me basically sold ;3

Kudos to @2014federalbudget for the inspiration

[under the readmore]

oKAY so !!!! Marco’s a scuba diver who used to be a Really Big advocate for animal protection i mean it kinda helps that he’s part fucking bird but he didn’t really put that on his job application and he still IS really for animal protection and stuff but when he was buddy diving w/ a friend of his and taking photos of the reef for a paper his friend/dive buddy ended up disappearing and Marco was Super Devestated bc they could never find him

Im an asshole and his dive buddy was Totally Sabo. Sabo used to work as a human rights activist and met Marco at a rally one time and Marco was the one who encouraged him to go diving & get his dive license and they used to go a lot together??? And went to marches a lot and were rlly close before Sabo vanished

Fast forwards about two years and Marco lives alone by the beach he refuses to admit to anyone - even himself - that the reason he does it is so that he can help anyone in the water And he still teaches people about being good to nature and erosion and not walking on dunes and being careful of the environment and one day during a tour he sees someone lying on the beach and he’s like holy FUCK bc they don’t look good at all and they’re just out of reach of the water, and it’s lapping at their fingertips and-

Marco quickly runs over and checks them out and he had first aid training that he still remembered from diving and he did a lot of water stuff so he knows his shit and the guy wakes up and smiles at him and Marco’s momentarily taken back because this weird freckled dude is smiling at him like they know each other???

“Oh cool,” they say weakly, moving to grip Marco’s hand and carefully, shakily lean up a little bit, “i was- looking for you Marco-” and he gets smiled at and then freckled!dude flops forwards again and groans and Marco’s like ooooookay that’s weird what the HELL??? 

“Totally not- dead, by the way. Totally not,” says the guy, and Marco’s soooo confused he ends up just helping the guy up and they’re close to his house so he tells his - very pitiful - tour that he’s gonna take this stranger to the hospital to get checked over and they nod and Marco helps the stranger to his house and goes inside to grab his keys but when he comes out again the guy’s gone????????? and there’s crashing noises in his kitchen??? and he goes inside and the fish he was planning to have for dinner is like a carcass (what the fuck, he thinks, that wasn’t even cooked) and there’s splashing sounds coming from his bathroom and he groans because of course he got the one weirdo who went immediately back to the water after almost drowning

And he growls and groans and stomps to the bathroom and throws open the door and demands to know why the guy didn’t stay but hAHAHAH THAT’S A BIG FUCKING TAIL???? FISH TAIL???? GUY’S UNDERWATER AND BLOWING BUBBLES HAPPILY JUST. WHAT IS THIS. 

And the guy seems to realise he’s there and pops up happily and leans on the bathtub and is grinning and says “hey it’s not the ocean but maaaan this is nice!!! Water’s all i needed, haha.” 

“what the fuck.” marco says flatly, and the guy flicks his tail

“ahhhh, yeah i got asked here??? as a favour??? to try and find you??? lol but i forgot about the land / water thing and ended up a bit stuck. Good thing you came along or i would’ve been sundried!” / “mmm, sundried fish. nice.”

(what the fuck, marco feels like repeating again, but pushes that thought out of his mind to ask,) “Sent by who?? Pretty sure I don’t know any- uh-”

“Ace!”

Not what I was asking, Marco thinks, but takes the response regardless. “I don’t think i know anyone that you would know, Ace.” 

And ace brushes him off and laughs and says yeah you totally do??? Unless u forgot him. Which would suck. (he looks super conflicted and marco’s like??? well i hope i havent and you know i dont even know who i’d be forgetting because you havent TOLD ME JACK SHIT YET OKAY also like he’s taking this t ail thing remarkably well but well…..like i said earlier he’s Part bird. Like….vegetarian, sometimes drags all the pillows and blankets into the floor to make a nest….occasionally has to pull off brightly coloured feathers from his forearms…has great vision. but that’s abt it. ((The reason he wanted to dive was because it felt like flying)))

ummm anyway bc i need to sleep what happens is ace is like yeah know this dude called sab hes one of my best friends and wants to come visit but he’s like 95% water now soooooo may be Difficult???? and Marco Freaks and ace tells abt how sab got accidentally turned into a water spirit kind of thing bc ace hadn’t wanted to see him die and marco ends up running back to the beach and into the water, the water that pulls at him just like it always did but now he’s concentrating it feels like hands skimming his ankles and he walks deeper, and deeper, until  his chest is submurged and something grabs his hands and he pulls and it’s sabo but not e x a c t l y because sabo didn’t have seashells pinning back his hair and his hair wasn’t tinted slightly blue and green but the smile is all sabo’s and Marco feels something in his chest settle from where it’d been knocked sideways by ace’s admission. 

Knocked sideways by sabo disappearing all those years ago, stolen by a place marco would never belong to. He may’ve loved the water but he’d always been a creature of the skies. 

Ace + Sabo living in Marco’s bathtub and making a watery slippery mess and when marco drags himself home and wants to take a bath they’ve taken up the entire bath and he just (groans quietly) bc theyre such assholes

Marco buying them one of those inflatable kiddie pools but they sneak back into the bathtub regardless and theyre like it’s more comfortable!! / IT’S LIKE HALF YOUR SIZE, YOU DON’T EVEN FUCKING FIT, YOU LIARS

(what they don’t admit is that it’s more comfortable to be pressed close, for sabo to hear Marco’s beating heart and Ace to know that he wasn’t going to be left. for Marco to have fingertips easily finding and tangling with his own, and he soon finds he doesn’t mind who’s hand he’s holding)
