Confection Confession

Summary: Another year, another White Day full of the Grandcypher’s most eligible bachelors gifting you chocolate as means to show their appreciation for you, their Captain.

And while Rackam did work hard to make sure his present was impeccable to the taste, he hopes that you enjoy the unique little add-on he prepared for you.

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Reader/Rackam

I STILL NEED TO KNOW WHY LUCIO SCREAMS “RACKAMUUU” WITH SUCH RAW INTENSITY IF HE FALLS IN BATTLE HFLAKFHAKL

BUT WITH THIS PIECE, SO CAPS OFF THIS ROUND OF COMMISSIONS!!! Thanks so much to @thosegloriouspancakes FOR SUCH A PURE AND TENDER COMM PROMPT!!! ; v ;

PLS ENJOY!!!! 

-------------------

There were some things that Rackam could and could not do.

Fix the Grandcypher while blindfolded and being hoisted up and down by the Lowain Bros?

He could do that.

Beat Eugen, Soriz, and Jin in a drinking contest?

He could do that, albeit at the expense to his liver.

Tame a raging Bahamut while Lyria takes a nap from the power of an Aoidos lullaby?

Hell, he would rather do that if it meant he didn’t have to deal with this nerve-wracking sensation that was currently gripping him by the neck!

Before him upon the Grandcypher’s deck was a mountain of confectionaries, from the finest sweets handcrafted by chocolatier gods to homemade cookies where taste surpassed lumpy but heartfelt presentation, all gifted from the likes of royal princes, faithful knights, battle-hardened warriors and whimsical, all sharing the common trait of being White Day gifts denoted to one single person.

But even closer to him was the receiver of these presents.

The Grandcypher’s dearest captain.

The hero across all the skies.

The person who was currently handling his heart like the handmade chocolates they were delicately bringing up to their lips.

Who else but you?

It was strange as it was bothersome that he stared right into the eyes of fearsome primal beasts and the like for battles that determined the fate of the skies, but just gazing upon the curious expression on your face while you sampled his White Day present to you--the last you received from the rest of the crew--was playing with his nerves like a damn fiddle.

Though, considering why he was gifting these sweets to you today, the butterflies fluttering around his stomach as though guided by the gusts of Tiamat herself were only to be expected.

Thankfully, the wide smile that slid onto your lips quickly absolved the burden weighing on his heart.

“They taste really good, Rackam! I’m impressed!”

Tension began to leave his shoulders.

Relief.

Grinning from ear to ear, he chuckled,  “They’d better! You know I wouldn’t perfect these for just anyone!”

He watched as your tongue swiped along your thumb as you indulged in the taste of his handmade sweets further. The sight of that, along with the realization of the implication of his words had his eyes widen, a stutter beginning to seize his words. “I mean, well--! By that, I’m trying to say, uh…”

And then he watched curiosity flicker onto your face just before the smile on your lips turn sly.

“Did you have something you want to tell me?”

A hot blush found its way to his whiskered face.

He knew what that smile meant.

You knew without him having to say much.

As expected of his treasured captain.

His hand found its way to the back of his neck as he huffed, “Oi! Since when’d you get so mischievous, huh?” Still, unable to hide the overjoyed smile that crept onto his lips, he continued, “How did I miss our sweet, courageous captain turning into such a teaser?”

“Is this mutiny that I’m sensing, Rackam?” You giggled, setting down his gift box aside before taking a step closer towards him, closing the distance between you both.

You were offering him an opportunity.

And he would be a fool to refuse.

“Tch, you could push me right off the deck and I’d still come clawing back up to you, you know this more than any one.” He let out a snort, but his arms found its way around your waist while his eyes sought out yours. “And that’s why I gotta get this off my chest, right here, right now.”

You leaned closer into his embrace and he knew there was no further reason to feel nervous, but to feel emboldened instead.

“Captain,” Rackam began, just before his voice took on a tender tone as he uttered out your name, “You really changed the way I see the sky the moment you brought me along for the journey of a lifetime. I’m thankful for it--thankful for you.”

He brought a gloved hand up to your cheek, cupping your face gently. “More than anything, through whatever weird crap that threatens our beautiful blue sky, through all the damn good merry times we have here on the Grandcypher, I wanna stay by your side--”  

While his voice remained sweet in inflection, his words were firm in resolve. ”--all the way to Andalusia and way beyond that. You know I already have your back, but just know you’ve got my heart too, all right?”

“Rackam…”

The look on your face--so elated and thrilled.

These were the words you’ve wanted to hear for so long that you couldn’t even begin to express your own joy. Still, with just as much earnestness, your hand rested upon his as you declared, “I want you to have my heart too.”

“Jeez, you really know how to make a man happy...!”

You barely caught sight of Rackam’s elated grin as his lips suddenly met yours for a kiss.

And then another and another.

You were smiling against his mouth with each kiss, giggling when he finally drew back fully, “Good, because I could see how nervous you were getting while you were waiting to see my reaction to your chocolates.”

His lips puckered into a pout as you laughed. “Oi, oi, when you’ve got literal princes and demi-gods handing you the finest chocolate made outta the silver lining of clouds, what’s a man supposed to do? I’ve got tough competition!”

“First mutiny, and now jealousy, Rackam? It’s really cute,” you taunted gleefully.

“‘Cute’, huh?”

There was a slight but sudden shift in his voice, all while the arm he had around your waist tightened its grip.

He kissed you again--loving but not quite as tender as the ones before.

You were breathless by the time he pulled away, shivering as you heard him murmur into your ear, 

“Well, let’s see how cute you’ll find me when it’s just us in your quarters, yeah?”

GBF Husbando Spotlight: Rackam

IT’S HERE IT’S HERE!!!

It’s been ages since the last one, but with me sparking him and the balance patch arriving I’ve finally felt confident enough to write this. 

If you know me at all you knew this was coming, for my lust and love for thisman burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. Yes tis time for my #1 Husbando’s Spotlight, The Sexiest Meme Alive himself, Rackam!

Note: This was actually really hard to make into actual words instead of just inarticulate screaming.

The 2nd story character and first official member of the crew. He’s been with you since pretty much Day 1.

First story character to get his 5* uncap, giving him the rare wind atk- debuff and sweet new art with Tiamat.

His SSR is a great damage dealer, and with the patch one of the most reliable as long as he has a solid source of MA. Along with his passive to hit all enemies 70% of the time, now he can also build 2 stacks of Spitfire in 1 turn, giving him 40% atk boost each on a unique modifier. With Elysian he can ougi turn 4 with 3 stacks and 120% atk up. Plus Spitfire increases his ougi cap to around 3.2 mil and the chain burst to over 2 mil. Duration II is also incredibly handy against HL bosses with their OD phases being more dangerous. He shines alot in Rose Queen as he leads to a much faster break in 2nd phase and in Tiamat HL where he gives easy honors as he auto attacks all heads most of the time.

10/10 would spark again

It’s also heavily implied that Grand Series are getting their 5* uncap soon too, so his kit is going to get better. His SR gained a crit buff, mirror image, and wind atk- so there’s a good chance his SSR will too.

His personality is that of the Crew’s team dad (funny enough with the actual dads in the crew) and boy is it my weakness. He has a soft spot for children and younger members of the crew, and takes it upon himself to take care of them.

He’s an expert Helmsman and is actually quite famous for it. It’s even gotten to the point where other Helmsman ask him for his autograph. The sheer size of the Grancypher and how he managed to restore it single handedly is a testament to his skill and love for airships. And the chapter where he navigates the harsh winds of the Grim Basin is the ultimate testament to his skill.

In fact his SSR Fate episodes revolve around him helping a little girl who dreams of being a helmsman like him. When he discovers she’s in danger he goes off on his own to rescue her without endangering the rest of the crew. Of course in the end it’s too much than he can handle on his own and he gets shot. The crew comes by in time to rescue him and the girl and he realizes that everyone has grown enough for him to rely on them.

Fun fact he’s actually named after the famous pirate captain John Rackam (aka Calico Jack). The man most well known for his relationship with Anne Bonny and Mary Reed and his first mate designing the iconic Jolly Roger. 

He’s hot. Like....really hot. I fell in love with this man at first crash. That styled brunette hair.....the facial hair....the cigarette..his face. All of that gives me the ossan feel that I’m a plain sucker for. Plus his gun and even the sword he never uses just gets to me. A prime reliable Ossan design. 

HE HAS A BLUSHING IMAGE AND IT’S ADORABLE

Plus Hiroaki Hirata’s voice as him is just perfect! Older and experienced but not super old man status. I don’t know how to describe it exactly but it’s so damn attractive.

He’s 29 years old, putting him slightly above average in the crew’s rather young age range, but not as old as the clear elder members of the crew. While he has all the points of Ossan appeal (at least in my book) calling him one might be a bit of a stretch. It doesn’t stop him from feeling old though, as he talks about getting older a few times. 

He might not be the most muscular of the crew since he is one with bara gods like the Soiya Squad and Male Draphs. But he does have a nice muscular frame of his own. It’s most prominent in the meme comics and brief bits in the anime. In comics he strips time to time for certain gags revealing a nice body. In the anime he sports a black tank top for a while allowing you to see the musculature on his arms, and even takes off his armor for a bit, revealing that that the shirt he wears under it is skintight as you can make out the outlines of his pecs through the fabric. (I’m still angry he never stripped in the beach episode)

His charms have not gone unnoticed too. The man is straight up primal bait as Lyria’s Tiamat and Noa are really close to him. The little girl from his SSR fates even falls for him as she asks if he has a girlfriend in the end of the 2nd one. According to Lowain and Bros he has a decent sized following of fans as well. They described him as “the type of guy who would spoil you”. 

He’s also is pretty good with the Bass (after some practice). He plays in a band with Vryn and Aoidos. So he fills the hot dude on bass niche too.

In fact before Lowain and Bros decided on making Jin the Sexy Sensei of Albion High. He was considered for the role before they gave it to Jin, feeling that Rackam already had too many fans to be their Sensei figure.

He’s a Sexy Santa

His Christmas Fates were some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. It literally revolves around stealing Christmas cake in the middle of the night.The second fate literally called “Friendly Feels” is a search for a Christmas tree for the crew. It ends with him holding a ladder for Vyrn, Lyria, and Gran/Djeeta to put the star on. After the star is put on and the tree is decorated he gives his thanks as he never thought he’d ever spend a Christmas like this before. The fate ends with Lyria telling him that all Christmases are going to be like this one from now on, as he smiles and while having his doubts about the certainty of her statement, enjoys the warmth of the holiday on the cold winter night.

He’s a perfect mixture of both my love for memes and hot older men. For he has not one, or two memes, BUT 3.

Legend of Rackam: Not touched upon recently but a damn good one. Rackam and his exploits are so legendary that kids years later learn of his heroic tales thanks to a wise old scholar. His frog suit meme had actual white day chocolates sent to it by fans.

DURRAY DURRAY DURATION!: Rackam’s amazing moves leave afterimages that confuse and somehow relax the enemy’s rage. A meme so powerful he taught it to others for protection and almost durrayed himself out of existence against a great foe. In fact this meme is so powerful that it’s leaked out of the Grand Blues verse into reality long ago and nobody even questions it. His Casino skin and Santa version both end battles with the Durray~ dance with sound effects and everything.

RACKAMUUUUUUUUUU!!! (also localized as plain RACKAAAAAAAM!!!): Rackam fucking explodes and dies. Well to be more specific the first Rackamuuu! didn’t even have an explosion as he died falling off the ship riding on a icicle and Katalina screamed it. However with later variation most of his deaths have been explosion related, resulting in the meme being tied to explosions now. Despite the fact that he explodes he actually ends up fine due to a scientific phenomenon known as Rackam’s Law, but details have yet to be divulged to the public from the former nobility of Iristill. 

Him and the MC/You share a very close bond due to all that they’ve gone through together. He basically entrusts the fate of the Grancypher to your judgement when he’s forced to fight you as an enemy by that little douche Gilbert.

He gets flustered around Djeeta and it’s noticeable in the voiced skins. Where he stumbles around for a bit after battle replying to her compared to his fater response to Gran.

Like most of the GBF cast come Valentines and White Day he catches feelings for the captain of the opposite gender, however unlike many he’s kind of unsettled and in denial of it due to the age gap.

It’s most detectable in the Valentines and White Day lines in year two. Year one it’s rather quick with him being flattered to get a chocolate and blushing with embarrassment when he gives the return gift on White Day.

However year two has him joke about waiting for Djeeta to give him chocolate and telling her not to think about all the serious stuff since it makes him nervous. Then he promises her to get something great for White Day.

Come White Day he calls her over to give her his present (no CG yet sadly sadly) and thanks her for always working so hard. Then he literally says “ Well, not just thanks. But I can't say any more than that, all right? You shouldn't pry into the mind of an adult, you know. “ Then says he’s gonna keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t drive other people crazy.

I probably forgot or missed something but this post is long enough.

This is most likely going to be my longest husbando spotlight solely because

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MAN
