CR Inktober, Day 3

POTION: ROADSIDE DIVERSIONS

 (Please be kind—I’m only 8 episodes in to C2)

The excitement of being on the road again faded quickly as Alfield vanished from sight, and Jester found herself quickly and unsurprisingly bored. As the cart jounced and bounced slowly along the road, the tiefling girl reached into her bag of pastries more for a distraction than out of true hunger.

To her surprise, she found a vial she didn’t remember putting in her pouch. Drawing it out, Jester saw the scrawled note, ‘For the little green one’s birthday,’ just as she heard or felt the echo of a familiar laugh in her mind.

“Nott!” she squealed with glee, turning to the startled goblin, “it must really be your birthday: the Traveler sent you a gift!” She presented the vial with a flourish, the somewhat thick liquid within shimmering with an iridescent variety of colors.

Nott swallowed, eyes darting around. “What—what is it?”

“I don’t know,” Jester admitted, studying the potion in her hand. “I’ve never seen anything like it before. Have any of you?”

Molly peered over her shoulder, interest obviously piqued. “Not that I can remember.”

Caleb, too, was looking at the mysterious liquid within, already pulling out the pearl from the night before. “Neither have I. Though, if you give me a minute—or ten…”

“You sure that’s really from the Traveler?” Beau asked while the group waited.

“Of course!” Jester chirped.

“But how do you know?”

“Because I know the Traveler—he’s my best friend! …And I heard him laugh.”

For some reason, that only made Beau frown more.

Finally, Caleb looked up, the barest hint of a smile just barely visible on his dirt-covered face. “It is harmless—mostly. Almost positively. It’s meant as a joke, of sorts.”

The handful of glances directed Jester’s way all more or less said, ‘yeah, that makes sense.’

“There is enough for a triple dose, or three people to have a single use.”

Beau folded her arms. “But what does it do?”

Caleb glanced at Nott, Jester, scanned the group, then looked back down at the potion. “I don’t think I’m supposed to spoil the joke. But it’s not dangerous, really, and the effect wears off very quickly—one minute.”

“Nu-uh.” Beau leaned away, shaking her head. “I’ve seen what this one thinks is funny—I’m not going anywhere near that stuff.”

Nott shifted in her seat. “I don’t know about this, Caleb. That smiley wand last night was supposed to be a joke, but it hurt.” Yellow eyes wide, she turned to the human she’d quickly come to trust.

“That is alright, the wizard assured her, ruffling her hair a little. “You can decide what you want to do with your own present. Maybe you would want someone else to drink it.”

Jester was practically bouncing in place. “But what does it do, Caleb?”

Fjord, who was currently at the reigns, glance dover his shoulder. “Jester, you really have no idea? I thought you and the Traveler were really close, or somethin’.” (Apparently, the half-orc had been listening the whole time.)

“I totally am—we’re, like, super-duper close besties. But he’s really good at surprises!”

Mollymauk glanced around the group, then shrugged. “Ah, what the hell. If you say it’s harmless, I’m willing to give it a shot.” The lavender tiefling reached out for the vial.

“Ooh! Ooh! Can I try it, too?”

Caleb looked form the two tieflings to his goblin friend. “this was your present, Nott. What do you say?”

“Now, hold on,” Fjord broke in again, “Caleb, if you say that’s not dangerous, then I reckon you’re right. But shouldn’t we save it, in case it comes in handy for somethin’?”

“Fjord, I promise you that this potion is not useful for anything but a laugh,” the Zemnian wizard insisted, which only made Jester reach out for it more.

Nott glanced around, still looking somewhat uncomfortable. “Well, if they really want to, and you promise it’s not going to hurt them or anything…”

“Then, one mouthful each. And-uh- there may be a variety of reactions, co—for sake of the horse—you may want to walk beside the cart until it’s worn off.”

Jester and Molly met each other’s eyes, shrugged, then vaulted over the side of the cart simultaneously.

Caleb passed Molly the vial, and Beau, for all of her ‘I want none of this’ attitude earlier, leaned forward, watching eagerly. Nott held on to Caleb’s arm, already seeming to regret her choice, while Fjord slowed the cart, keeping a close eye on the two tieflings.

“Bottom’s up!” Molly knocked back his portion as if it were a shot, then passed the potion to Jester, who did the same before handing the vial back to Caleb.

For a second, the Mighty Nein stared at the two, waiting for something to happen…anything.

Abruptly, the two sneezed in unison.

At once, Molly was surrounded by three other Molly’s, all mimicking his every move (meaning, at the moment, they were peering at each other intently). Meanwhile Jester turned into a sheep.

There were more than a few yelps from the cart—and an oath form all four Molly’s simultaneously—but roughly six seconds later, the four tieflings and one sheep sneezed again.

The three extra Molly’s vanished, and Jester returned to her normal form—but glowing so brightly, they almost couldn’t see Molly cowering away from her.

Six seconds later, both sneezed again.

Molly stood straight again—but not so tall, having apparently somehow, lost seven inches in height, while source-less ethereal music could just barely be heard around Jester, who decided to dance to it, thankfully no longer glowing.

Another six seconds, another (two) sneeze(s).

Jester had no idea what all the commotion was about—to her perspective, everything looked normal once again now that the music was gone and Molly was back to his original height—as she was unaware that everyone but Molly (including her) was currently invisible, except, apparently, to her.

*Achoo!*

Jester again felt disappointed that nothing seemed to have changed about her, unaware of a temporary vulnerability of her and her allies, thankfully not in danger of a combat encounter at the moment. Meanwhile, Molly disappeared from beside her and abruptly appeared on the other side of the cart.

��Halfway there,” Caleb called, just as the two sneezed again.

This time, it was Molly’s turn to think nothing had happened (as he’d not been injured that day), but Jester caused enough excitement when her hand brushed against the cartwheel—which spontaneously caught fire.

By the time the others had doused the flames, Jester and Molly had sneezed again.

Once again, Jester felt unaffected (since she managed not to die in the interval between sneezes), and the only thing that seemed to change about Molly was perhaps a visible ageing of a handful of years? (It was honestly hard to tell with him.)

*Achoo!*

Jester was suddenly surrounded by flower petals and butterflies dancing in the air about her—but her attempt to grab them revealed them to be merely illusory and she sulked, disappointed. Molly, once again his proper age, found that he’d somehow turned a shade of blue even more vibrant than Jester, and he took the opportunity to silently asses how the color matched with his look.

*Achoo!*

A cloud of fog similar to the one Shakäste had cast the day before suddenly enveloped the area around Molly, hiding the fact that he was back to his usual shade of lavender. Truthfully, most attention was on a shrieking, inexplicably and unexpectedly bald Jester.

*Eeee-achoo!*

The fog disappeared, and Molly abruptly vanished from view (form that plane even, though they didn’t know that. When a (no longer bald) Jester attempted to point this out, pink bubbles floated form her mouth instead of sound, and the blue tiefling spent the next six seconds entertained by this phenomenon before the final sneeze came.

Molly reappeared, then, right where he had been, eyes wide and grin unsettlingly wide. Jester, meanwhile, flopped, laughing, onto her back in the road, kicking up her legs in glee.

“Are you both alright?” Nott called, peering around Caleb’s arm.

“Never better,” Molly replied immediately, still grinning. “And richer for the experience, to be sure.”

Jester sprang to her feet. “That was so much fun! Can we do it again, Nott? Can we? Can we? Can we?”

“Are you shitting me?” Beau snorted. “We’ve got one use left of the best fucking distraction we could ask for, and you want to blow it now? Fuck that, let’s save it.”

“At the very least, Jester, we could put it in the drink of the next rich, important asshole that pisses us off,” Molly offered as he helped Jester back into the cart, then took her offered hand up.

“Okay, fine,” the other tiefling conceded before catching a startled Nott into a giant hug. “Any way, happy birthday, Nott! The Traveler really is with you!”

Nott swallowed at that thought, given the recent demonstration. “Oh, boy.”

 (AN: Yes, I basically made the wild magic table into a potion, then rolled for effects.)

Slow burn/fake date/enemies to lovers: Hance, Alyanette, anddddd uh Tododeku (I’m trying to give you different ones than you gave me lol)

Okay this was way harder than I expected lol. Sorry it’s a little late, I wanted to really take time with it (and boy did I. I wrote way more than I expected to haha)


Slow burn: Hance. Hance is THE brotp to otp ship for me. I do see them more as queer platonic partners but. I mean their friendship??? doesn’t need labels. Their friendship is Epic. It’s the kind of relationship that transcends the difference between romantic and platonic love. It just. is. They just grow closer and closer and when they first kiss it feels so natural and obvious and. gods I have so many feelings about this I can’t even put it into words they’re just. so. good. together. ahhhhhhhh.


Fake date: Tododeku. It starts with Iida completely misunderstanding and blowing everything way out of proportion and our children being very bad at saying no; After the Stain incident Iida decides that because they’re not allowed to talk to anyone about what happened, they should sit and talk about what the went through together. It comes up that Todoroki “ride or die” Shouto literally received nothing but coordinates from Izuku but decided to drop everything and just go with it (still my favourite thing he has ever done like can you believe). Iida very understandably misinterprets this information and promptly congratulates them on their relationship, and completely doesn’t hear their protests over his “that’s wonderful! the first class couple! we should celebrate this!! let’s throw a party!”. Izuku and Shouto wanna say no but they figure with everything Iida’s been through with his brother getting hurt and all, “I guess we can do this for him, he could probably use a party” and “we can just pretend for a while and when it blows over say we had an amicable break-up or whatever”, and so they go along with it. Cue very clumsy fake flirting because both these boys are very socially inept. Fake flirting that turns into real attempts at flirting before either of them realize. Holding hands because “it’s what couples do right”, with faces redder than the hair on Shouto’s left side.
By the time they think it’d be appropriate to fake amicably break up, they’re both super smitten and the fake dating just keeps going as they both keep coming with excuses to keep up the ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘charade’‘‘‘‘‘‘‘.  For Valentine’s day they both make each other chocolates. Homemade. They both get help from those in Class A who are good at baking, unbeknownst to the other. (Class A is delighted and spends a lot of time snickering at these two fools who are just so meant for each other) They exchange the chocolates in front of the class ‘to keep the charade going’ but then after school Shouto cracks and pulls Izuku aside to admit the chocolates were for real and Izuku Dies and then admits to the same thing and they both lived happily ever after and became one of the most famous hero couples. (”#1 Hero All Might’s deciple and #2 Hero Endeavor’s son! can you believe!” scream the delighted masses)
Turns out I have way more Tododeku feels then I realized before answering this ask oops


Enemies to lovers: this physically pains me but Alyanette. I have to do this to them because the other two ships just had to get the other two tropes Alya and Mari I am so sorry to do this to you. This one is the hardest ohmygods. I’ve been sitting with this for almost an hour and I can’t figure out a way to make them hate each other that isn’t either wildly OOC or involves Adrien and I hate making two girls’ relationship about a boy but I don’t know what else to do ashgjdkhfgks. So uh here goes. I’m sorry.Alya & Adrien grew up together so they’re super duper close. like. Jake and Rosa from B/99. Mer Cristina from G/reys. Steven and Connie. You get the picture. So anyways, they’re always together, Alya accompanies Adrien on a lot of modelling jobs, both to support him and because it’s an opportunity to learn from professional cameramen & camerawomen. Marinette, still having a hugeass freaking crush on Adiren, is extremely jealous because she (and the entire Paris presse) is convinced Alya and Adrien are an item. Meanwhile Alya, who’s very protective of her boy Adrien, is really annoyed at this girl who she suspects is stalking her bestie, on account of Marinette being... well, admittedly kind of a stalker (mostly harmless of course but still Not Great).So Alya catches Marinette in the middle of stalking Adrien a couple times a tells her off and their relationship just keeps getting worse UNTIL Marinette is a little too careless about where she detransforms after a long and difficult fight against an akuma and, unbeknownst to her, is seen by Alya. This changes everything Alya thought she knew about Marinette - and about Ladybug. This creepy girl who's stalking her best friend is Ladybug, her favourite hero and Icon? Her Icon is a stalker? What On Earth. Internal crisis ensues. She desperately wants to understand how they can be the same person and ends up trying to look at Marinette differently, and noticing how kind she is, how much she cares for her classmates, how she tries really hard to always do the right thing - though it does sometimes end up being at the expense of other people - and another crisis soon ensues as Alya starts to realize how her feelings are changing lol.On Marinette's side of things, she does notice that Alya's been less hostile towards her, and doesn't understand why, but doesn't think too much of it..... Until Alya, whos' desperate to get on Marinette's good side now that she has Feelings, offers to let Marinette tag along on one of Adrien's photoshoots (after asking him of course. The two of them talk about p much everything and Adrien is all too happy to let Alya use his modeling job to get close to a girl (even if he's not quite sure why that would work, oblivious as he is to the extent of Mari's adoration for him)). Marinette accepts, thinking it's some sort of trap but unwilling to pass up this chance, and when everything goes really well (to her utmost surprise and confusion), it's her turn to start seeing Alya in a different light.And I think that's enough from me about them lmfao. They just.... go from there after that IDK.

I've written so much more than I intended, I'm sorry this is so long, I'm kind of embarassed at how carried away I got haha ^^" but I hope you enjoyed it.
