Jesper: Putting soup in the square tupperware just... makes no sense. It should be put in the round tupperware, which is soup shaped.

Stefan, who lives with him:

hey ik the brotherband fandom came up with better last names for everyone but i forgor what they were. can you tell me

It would be my pleasure! I love these questions. Brotherbanders, please feel free to chime in, especially taking credit where credit is due because I may or may not have forgotten who coined which name:

Hal Wavechaser ( @mostlyonthefloor), who found a ship by 'following the waves in its wake'

Stig Ironskin, who's seemingly impervious to strikes and who finally managed to get his temper under control

Ingvar Starbreaker, who broke a sword forged from a fallen star

Edvin Hopebringer, who- well, I'm not exactly sure; legends abound with this one

Jesper Stormrunner ( @twofoursixohjuan this one is yours), who ran through a cornfield- oops, I mean a storm- to deliver a warning

Stefan Hafsærling (this one is mine [ @reine-du-sourire] ), who Sang five enemy ships into smashing themselves against the rocks

Ulf, Wulf, and Lydia I don't know.

Ice skater!Stefan costume.

The left half is his sirene form (scaley material and fins and seaweed wrapping up his leg), and the right is his Skandian vest and shirt and pants.

Thanks to @absolutely-existing for the prompt!!!

moodboard request, maybe? Stefan/Tursgud aesthetic, a bad idea for all concerned?

"Did you fall for him before or after you started calling him sunshine and sweetheart to piss him off?" "I didn’t fall for him, he tripped me!" "…" "…" "He’ll break your heart, Tursgud, you know that, right?" "I’ll deal with it when it happens."

STEFAN AND/OR JESPER

Leila Chatti, from "Postcard from Gone"

[brotherbandarchive]

Not sure if I should explore my Dark!Edvin AU or an AU in which all the Herons become their worst versions... permanently berserk/feral Stig as Hal's human guard dog, Ulf and Wulf can't tell each other apart anymore and are constantly trying to wound or kill each other, Ingvar becomes completely blinded and can't find his way out of his own head, Stef becomes an echo and has nothing left of himself, etc...

Unless the AUs are the same thing... Dark!Herons?

Unless Edvin's dark AU is that he's the only sane one left, and he's essentially the mastermind behind it all?

Or is this Hal's dark AU, calling himself Slavesfather instead of Slaveson?

And Edvin's the only one left sane and trying to break Hal, and subsequently everyone else, free? Hopebringer?

Anyone up for some

stefan x jesper coffee shop au

5 random facts...

☕ Jesper discovers the Siren's Cove Café quite by accident; it's one of those little places on the shore a block away from the trinkets shop where he works.

☕ The barista there- Stefan- is always good for a joke, a sunshiney smile, and an unlawfully delicious gingerbread latte.

☕ Edvin, the med student who seems to have an endless supply of band-aids on him at all times, is another frequent customer.

☕ This weird guy named Hal pops in and out of the café at random, keeps the strangest hours ever, and has fixed several of the appliances on several occasions. He says he's had lots of practice from his mother's restaurant.

☕ After a massive storm floods several buildings near the beach, Jesper rushes down to see what he can do to help, only to find the café dry and comfortable as always. When he asks Stef about it, the barista only shrugs. "We've never been flooded," he says. "Water seems to like this place."

BONUS:

"Enjoy your coffee," Stef says brightly, and slides open the cash register drawer. "Here's your-"

"-change," Jesper finishes, and grins, opening his palm to show three dimes and a nickel.

He drops them into the tip jar.

.*pops up from literally nowhere* Hi! I'm here!

Sorry, was busy with ur next payment *hands you carved-with-mini-ships-and-waves driftwood*

I would like. ANGST.

so.

can we have like, siren!stefan having a panic attack because, idk, one of his siren friends came up and was like, 'your not going to be able to save your friends if we so choose. we could rip it all away, especially that one,, the little theif-boy you seem to care about most. When you've realised that, come back and join us'.

so we have stefan just sitting on the beach in a full-blown panic attack, then Jesper finds him and just... calls him back, yanno? Calms him down, maybe sings him something, and stefan is just sitting there sobbing 'cause he keeps falling in love with jesper and that's dangerous.

And then he just gives up and lets himself cry himself out on jespers shoulder, until its just them and quietness and their just sitting there when Edvin finds them 'cause they've been missing for over an hour.

(ye, i know, its long, but please)

*takes driftwood and hugs it very ecstatically and very carefully* YAY DRIFTWOOD

ALSO YAY ASKS

AND VERY YAY ANGST

Stef doesn't have siren friends, but he does have five aunts: Heidrun, Helga, Hrefna, Hanne, and Havfrid. Sjøran, Stefan's mother, is the youngest of the siren sisters.

Those are the names he uses when talking about them, anyway. Their siren names are far more difficult to pronounce.

Anyway, the aunts have tried to trap and kill and eat Jesper on more than one occasion. They don't like him and don't understand why their most seductive songs don't seem to affect him in the slightest, and they don't think Stefan is safe with him.

They let Stefan know this in no uncertain terms.

This makes Stefan really sad.

Jesper tries to joke about it, but he's scared too, and it's a while before he can get Stefan to stop crying, and it's even longer before the swirling storm clouds overhead go from furious grey to wispy white.

Rain has thoroughly soaked them both before Stefan is able to speak again.

"Of course I'm not leaving," Jesper scoffs in reply. "I'm not afraid of them. If you had a hundred aunts I wouldn't leave."

Stefan swipes his wrist across his eyes with a sniffly little laugh. "How about Edvin?"

"Huh?"

"If Edvin came, would you leave? Because I see him coming this way, and he's probably going to yell at both of us for disappearing."

Jesper's eyes widen. "Okay, now I'm afraid."

We do not talk enough about Jesper's relationship with Stefan's aunts

[reine-du-sourire]

for prompts, remember that Jesper & touch post that did the rounds the other day? Ingvar hugs, take it any direction you like

Ingvar loves hugs. He loves giving them and he loves getting them; he has it all down to a science.

Hal is good to hug. He makes a funny squeaking noise at first, but relaxes quickly. He hugs back. Ingvar knows not to hug him too hard or for too long, though.

Stig is great to hug. He likes hugs, he hugs back enthusiastically, and he doesn't mind being squeezed. He squeezes right back.

The twins are convenient to hug. Ingvar likes to hug them both at once; it's a great way to stop them from fighting without throwing them overboard. Much more pleasant, anyway.

Stefan is fun to hug. He loves it when Ingvar's enthusiasm lifts him right off the ground; he laughs delightedly when Ingvar spins him around in a whirling circle.

Edvin is nice to hug. He always smells good and his returning hugs are surprisingly strong for someone of his size. He lets Ingvar hug him for as long as he likes.

Jesper is hard to hug. He's so small and slippery, but can be scooped up and hugged tightly and carefully. It's funny when he hides his face in Ingvar's shirt.

This is so unbelievably Stef-core

Going around 'helping' people fish and occasionally annoying them greatly in the process

weird fish

[brotherbandarchive]

“Hal? Permission to abandon the ship? We are too happy here and I can’t stand it.” Lydia groans.

“Request denied.”

Stefan starts up another merry jig on the little harp he'd managed to barter off of the visiting trader last week, and Jesper's dance moves grow still more erratic.

Stig attempts to copy him, with reasonable success. Ingvar does too, with considerably less.

"Just enjoy it, Lyd," Wulf says lazily.

"Hmph."

Kloof barks excitedly as she leaps over to join the dancers.

[reine-du-sourire]

stefan (brotherband) for the character bingo?

Stef!

[brotherbandarchive]

Three weeks later, the rain returns to Hallasholm, rushing in with the force of a triumphant homecoming army.

So does Stefan.

His hair is back to its normal blond, save for a single thin streak of inky dye. His tunic is torn in three different places, there's a new scar on the back of his neck, and he's beaming from ear to ear.

Clutched tightly in his right hand is a small leather satchel.

Clutched tightly in his left hand is Jesper.

Part One Part Two
