#saradika’s summer soiree

[saradika]

congrats my love on your milestone and for the invite to the soirée, I am fashionably dressed 💃🏻

could I request:

✍🏻 + din + a headcanon on the two of you bathing in waters that are separated by a wall so you can’t see him 🌝 (you write that tasty tension)

Ily lots and lots

hi hi jo! so glad you could come to the party! ☺️💖 and omg yes I would love to write a little Drabble for you - this is such a perfect combo for Din! (ily and I hope you’re having a good day!)

din djarin x reader

tags: bathing & yearning, maybe a hint of spice?

In spite of the heated water that surrounds you, you find it difficult to relax. Your thoughts have been long elsewhere - traveling down the worn stone wall behind you, and around the sloped bend at the end of the spring.

To the other side, where he bathes.

The waters are shared, and there’s an intimacy in that. Fueling the acute knowledge that if you wanted to, you could follow the flow of water. To take that curve.

You won’t, though. He trusts you not to, and even that is a gift.

But it doesn’t keep your mind from wandering. Imaging the slow removal of armor, piece by piece. The slow unfurling until he’s just flesh and bone and a steady, beating heart.

It sends your own racing - eyes shut as your head dips back against the stone. Focusing on the quiet sound of limbs moving through water, the soft hum of a relaxed groan. Leaving you to wonder if he’s thinking of you.

You think he must be. It’s there in those hidden moments, stolen away in the ship. The press of his forehead against yours as if he’s imagining - just for a moment - what it might be like to see you with his own eyes.

And even if he never can, it doesn’t mean he isn’t yours. It’s his creed that binds him, not his heart. You know that right now - if you called out his name - he would always answer. Just like you would do for him.

And that is enough.

thank you for this great hc! 💖

saradika’s summer soirée 🌻💖

it’s hard not to enjoy summer - for me, it’s meant vacations, time with friends, sweet treats (and another trip around the sun!) ☀️ it’s been a minute and some milestones since I did an event - so let’s celebrate with a mini summertime soirée!

my asks will be open from 07/12 through 07/15! please send the emoji with it, so I know which one you’d like!

🖼️ - send me your fave character(s), aesthetic, color, trope, or au, and I’ll make a mini moodboard for you!

📝 - send me one of your fics, and in exchange you’ll receive a mini moodboard based on the vibes!

✍️ - send me a character I’ve written (on here or on @eupheme) + an hc, trope, kink, or au, and I’ll write you a 5-sentence ficlet!

bonus - afterparty:

(to be sent in addition - these will be posted at the end!)

🥂 - got a fave summer song (or a song you associate with your fave character?) Include it in your above ask, and I will make us a summertime playlist! 🎶

📖 - is there a fic that’s been living rent-free in your head this year? Include it in your above ask, and I will put together a fic rec list - perfect for cozying up with after the shindig! 💕

thanks so much for hanging out with me on here, it’s meant more than I can say & I’m so grateful for you! 💖

I've sorta been lurking on your blog for a while because i love your stuff and I'm a lil too shy to interact much sometimes ashfldbdl and I'm curious!

Can you do a 🖼️ for Khonshu from the MCU? He doesn't get enough love! 😭

ah please don’t be shy! (though I totally know how that is - I am so glad you sent something in!!) and thank you so much for this request 💖 I love Khonshu and this was so much to make!! I hope you like it!

Hi! I just saw your celebration post. Congratulations!! I hope it’s okay I’m sending this so last minute.

🖼️ I’d love one with Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things with the “mean to anyone but her” trope. Not sure how this would translate, but take all the creative liberties you need! Please and thank you!🩷

hi, thank you so much!! 💖 and absolutely! I hope this captures the tropes - I really searched but couldn’t find images that fit the exact 100% vibe, so I went for “no one knows him like you do” which I hope is close!

Jess, the Summer Soirée is such a lovely idea! Your events are always wonderful, and I have so much fun looking at all of the things you lovingly craft for people. Because you're endlessly talented and creative! 💕 Each one is such a treat.

Dealer's choice for whichever character catches your eye or imagination, and since it's summer:

🖼️ Kino, Paz, or Halsin and camping!

thank you so much tara!! 💖 I’m so happy to hear you like them, I love the creative element and trying to interpret fics or ideas - it’s so much fun

And the 🐻 chat has me thinking about him this week - so I hope it’s okay that I chose Halsin! I’m imagining a cozy tent, a dip in the local hot springs, and home-cooked meals around the fire while you both read (and then of course, some midnight stargazing! among other things) 🏕️💕

Hello lovely! 💖

Happy Birthday and Happy Follower Celebration! You are so sweet! 🎊

How to pick just one!? Omg!

📝 You read my romantic and steamy little New Year's Eve fic for Lyra and Harvey - the one with the mirror.

You are amazing! Thank you for being here! 💖

hi kelly! 💖 this made me smile so much, thank you!! And YES I would love to make a moodboard for Lyra and Harvey - your fic was so perfectly steamy and sweet! I hope I captured the feeling of their new years together 💕 thank you so much for the wishes & for sending this in!

This is so much fun!

Could I get 📝 for Cooking Up Love, please? Your moodboards are always amazing!

🥂- Kokomo by the Beach Boys is my go to summertime song!

-viceofdionysus 💖💖

hi j! thank you for being such a light and contributing so much with your graphics and beautiful fics 🤍 could i get 🖼️ with joel miller? maybe like a dark red with an enemies to lovers vibe 👀 or whatever you’re vibing with!

hi ali! 💖 thank you so much and omg uno reverse right back your way - your fics and gifs are so fucking stunning!

and yes I would be so honored to make a joel moodboard, this was such a fun one!! I was imaging that you’re also a fellow smuggler that deals in the finer things (and sometimes steals his clients/drops and leaves a kiss-mark calling card) and he hates that you both have to team up sometimes (but also gets pissy if he sees you with anyone else)

Happy Summer Soirée J! This is such a cute and fun event and just wanted to also wish you a Happy Birthday!! 🎉🌸🍰 you and everything you do here is so so appreciated and seen, hoping you feel all the love today and thank you for this, you are so generous!!

Gonna send in a 🖼️ request for our beloved Alfred Pennyworth - I was thinking about summer and what nice trip to the beach or lake would be like with him!

Bet it would be so relaxing, going for a dip in the water, lounging about and reading or playing in the sand, sharing snacks with one another, sign me up!

ahh amalia thank you, this did make me feel so loved! 💖 you are always so generous and kind, it’s so inspiring and I’m so grateful to call you a friend 💕 I hope you know how appreciated and loved you are as well!

And yesss - I loved your request and the idea of a beach trip with Alfred so much! I was inspired by maybe you taking a trip to his home, and he spends a long weekend showing you the beach and places where he grew up (and you stay together in a cute little cottage by the sea!)

“it might not be what you’re used to, darling.”

it melds in him - how surreal it is, to have you with him in a place he’s known so well. a desire for you to see it, as he does. worrying it will only bring disappointment - that perhaps, you expected more.

“you’re here with me, right?” you smile up at him, eyes hidden beneath the brim of your sun hat. toes digging into soft sand, leaning back against the seat he set up for you, “then how could I want anything else?”

something inside him softens, as it often did when he was with you. certain of one thing among many…

that he needs to learn how to quiet the voices inside his head.

Jess!! This is so sweet of you to host this event! I’m already so excited to see what you will make for everyone who writes in. You are so creative and everything you’ve made me is so special! Thank you again for sharing your creations!

My favorite character is Alfred (Klaue is always a very close second 😏). My favorite color is Caribbean blue, aesthetic is coastal/beachy, trope is beach resort vacation meet cute! 🩵

Thank you again!! 💖💖

hi christine!!! 🥺💖 you are so wonderful and such a sweet friend, so this made my day more than I can say! thank you so much for sending this in (and I am so happy that you liked them, because I loved making them for you!)

And oooh I couldn’t wait to do your prompt (and it was so cute - you and amalia had similar requests! But I am going to try to make them different!) I hope this has the perfect meet-cute vacay vibes! 🏝️

He’s funny, this gentleman of yours. You’ve never seen someone strong-armed into taking a vacation, but you think he must have been - with the way he furrows his brow, checking his phone as he sits alone by the pool. Unsure what to do with himself.

Perhaps you’re just the distraction he needs. Time spent together under the sun, the cool waves lapping at your feet. Quiet secrets shared - he’s never enjoyed being away from home. But under the stars, on a moonlight stroll, he confesses -

That he wishes he could stay, a little longer.

First of all Happy Birthday my sweet friend and congrats on your new followers! 🥳🎂🥂I adore you so much and I'm always in awe of everything you create, your creativity knows no bounds and this is such a fun event to cool way to celebrate your milestones!

I had such a hard time deciding what to pick because I loved all the options, but I'm always 😍 over whatever you come up with and I finally managed to settle on something!

🖼️ - favourite character: Klaue (naturally) / favourite colour: phthalo green / trope: caught in the rain / I couldn't settle on a specific aesthetic so do with that what you will!

🥂Afterparty! - A fave song that always ends up high in my rotation in the summertime is "Silver Linings" by Mt. Joy

Thank you Jess, I hope that you have a wonderful birthday filled with things you love (you deserve them all!). 💗💗💗

this made me so 🥺💖🥰, I adore you as well! your fics always being so much comfort and your talent is so incredibly inspiring. thank you so much for your kindness and birthday wishes, it truly made my day a better one!! sending so much love your way!

and ahh this was such a cool idea (yess so here for Klaue! and love that color, too), I hope I combined your ideas okay!!! 💖 I did a teeny drabble as well, based on some thoughts while combing through pinterest!

walking to dinner had seemed like a great idea until now. trapped together beneath the eaves of the little shop you ducked under - hands shading eyes as you gaze up at the cracked sky above you.

“sorry, darling,” klaue is murmuring in your ear. acutely aware of the desire that thrums inside you from wandering hands at dinner, for it courses through him as well.

there’s a beat, before you’re stepping out onto the sidewalk. a smile thrown from over your shoulder, before you’re holding your hand out for him.

“why?” you ask, as the rain drips against your skin - easing the heat of summer. it’s no burden - you’re only going home, after all. “i’ve always liked the rain. don’t you?”

“something like that.” he answers, though his eyes aren’t on the sky above, or the patter on the concrete. those blue eyes fixed solely you.

only a heartbeat passes, before his hand fits into yours.

and thank you for the song, I was listening to it today!! 🎶💖
