Chapter 18: Never Wake Again

Hello! I’m sorry to do this in SnowBaz month. 🫠

The next chapter of my deep dive into substance abuse, mental health and homophobia both internalised and societal is here!

And this one is dark.

Please check the tags and also there is a (as bland as possible?) summary at the end of the chapter.

Take care of yourself!

As always, @rbkzz is the best and made this so much better.

[aristocratic-otter]

Thank you to @whatevertheweather, @messofthejess, @hushed-chorus, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @wellbelesbian, @iamamythologicalcreature, @ivelovedhimthroughworse and @thewholelemon for the tags this week. I've got no students yet (they start next week), so I'm still managing some words on all my fics (we'll see how long that lasts).

So, on with my quest to turn all of my favorite childhood movies into Carry On fics: My Age of Sail AU, based off of the movie, The Blue Lagoon. Have a little bit of eleven year old Baz and Simon:

I spring to my feet and run full tilt into the pond. Simon’s eyes widen comically, and then he’s thrashing inefficiently through the water, trying to escape my wrath. 

But that’s his miscalculation. I may be a novice to skin-swimming, but I’m quite accomplished at swimming itself. My father saw to it that I had lessons from an early age. Snow paddles like most of the little kids I saw at Brighton. A whole lot of movement for very little progress. 

I catch up to him within seconds, and I’m clamping my hands over his shoulders and shoving him down with all my strength. He knows enough to close his mouth, and bobs up a moment later, blowing out his held breath. Then he laughs and pushes a wave of water towards me with both hands cupped in front of him. 

So it’s war then.

From To Heal a Broken Mind (I'm starting the last chapter, whee!)

I see a muscle in his jaw jerk, and then he’s pulling the sunglasses off his face and pinning me with his icy glare. I stiffen. I haven’t seen this Baz in weeks. Have I done so much damage that I’ve set us back to the beginning?

“You, Simon Snow, are not going to do this,” he says, and his voice is hard. 

From Westward Son:

Baz tosses another stick in the fire. It’s hard to believe that, within a matter of weeks, we went from sweating our way through each day to shivering under blankets and huddling close to the fire, but it’s our reality now, as evidenced by the foot deep white slush I had to wade through just to get from our wagon to the fire ring. Baz is shivering. He’s always been thin skinned and susceptible to the cold. His Egyptian blood coming through, I think.

Simon’s attention is drawn away from Penny by Baz’s movement, and, without even pausing to think, he stretches his other wing out and wraps it around Baz. Baz sighs after a moment and his shivers cease, and I’m left kind of wishing Simon had a third wing for me. 

From Saving Simon Snow

“Baz,” he growls, turning to face me. A faint shiver runs down my spine at his irritated gaze. He’s so beautiful with his blue eyes snapping, his jaw hard and fists clenched. I can’t help it, I’ve always loved riling him up. I’ve wanked to the memory of it sometimes in the shower. “That’s a bloody mansion! How many mansions does your family own?”

I let my lips curl up at him in an almost-sneer. “It’s not a mansion, Snow. Crowley, there are only four bedrooms!”

He glares at me. “And how many rooms that aren’t bedrooms, Baz?” he asks pointedly.

From: Snow Fox

Baz

My parents have been hosting Colonel Tarleton and General Cornwallis all evening, so of course I’m joining in the conversation and listening with everything I have for things of use to Simon. So I’ve got an unfortunate front row seat when one of Tarleton’s men strides in, dragging a bound Pacey Bunce behind him. 

The boy is wearing a continental army uniform, the poor fool. Just putting on that blue coat is considered treason.

From the Naked Next (finished by this weekend!)

She giggles, before gulping down a deep breath and forcing her face back into serious lines. “Shep…I mean Love…I mean…” 

“You can call me love,” I purr.

I can tell she’s fighting back laughter, but she manages to contain it. “The cure. You’ve got to…please?”

I shake my head as if I can shake the cobwebs out of it. “Right! The cure!” 

I let her drag me to sickbay, not least because she’s holding my hand in order to do so. 

Tagging for any time in the future you'd like to post something!

first he declared Father Christmas dead - along with god, then yeeted an entire classroom off the planet, and quite possibly does magic with a monocle. every Bunce is my beloved - but Pacey is my inspiration.

Okay why the hell is no one talking about the fact that PACEY BUNCE YEETED A CLASSROOM INTO THE VOID.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of A Dangerous Affinity

Welcome to Chapter 7, and the introduction of a new POV character. 

I miss Pip. He was still more or less too young to understand the whole situation when I came in. He probably isn’t now. He’s probably being drilled on strategies and learning more than just the fun starter spells we all learned on. My mum is probably working out how to shape his affinity to get the best support from Priya, and vice versa. 

And Priya is probably feeling like the oldest. Like the weight of the whole family is bearing down on her to make it through, to carry herself out, and then she’ll come in here, and I’ll be the oldest for a year, telling her what to do, hoping that Penny left me enough mana to make it out. 

Premal’s first course of business was to get a power sink sorted out. Having all five of us filter through without a store for mana would be absurd, but of course his affinity was no help. If I’d been first in, excellent, done. But you don’t choose your children (my mum often said this, not disappointed, but a bit wistful. As though she wishes she could have re-rolled the dice a couple times to sort out how our entry order might best serve our collective advantage).

Simon Snow fanart

OK so I was thinking about a dark AU where Simon's Magic sharing is more evil, like he uses other mages as wands (Stephen and Premal) and he's like an eldritch being (I mean his conception was canonically pretty metal just saying) so I drew Simon using a couple of his dad's Mages men as human wands. The Mages Men has a cult like devotion to the Chosen one and train to endure pain since sharing Simon's Magic is painful (unless your Baz) but it's considered an honor

Haven't done a wip in a while thanks

A bit of a wait, sorry! But here's the next chapter:

Chapter 6: A Whip And A Promise

Summary:

Simon has ample opportunity to regret letting Pacey Bunce enlist...and Baz may have to do the unthinkable to save the foolish boy.

Penny

Simon slips in and out of my life like the animal he’s been named after. I never know when he’ll show up, and, once he does, I never know how long I’ll get to have him around.

We’ve been best friends from childhood, but I can’t help but feel that he’s leaving me behind.

When my younger brother Pacey shows up in a continental army uniform, however, I’m ready to kick Simon’s arse…metaphorically. Maybe.
