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:

[brotherbandchronicles]

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."

so i was trying to make a hockey team line-up without the surnames and eh, no, so here is what i came up with (including your brilliant ideas)

Hal Mikkelson/Wavechaser

Stig Hannahson (fuck you Olaf)/Ironskin

Edvin Hrafnsson (apparently Hrafn Sveinbjarnarson was an icelandic healer back in 12th century)/Hopebringer (heavy name, but Ed is worthy of it)

Ingvar Swordbreaker (yes, this is your sign to come up with a cool backstory)

Ulf and Wulf Windtamers (give them a piece of wood and something at least resembling a sail, and they can get the thing moving)

Jesper Stormrunner

Stefan Hildegrassen/Hafsærling

now, excuse me while i go off to work on wolves and sharks

What are their surnames?!

We have Hal Mikkelson and Stig Olafson and Lydia Demarek, but the others?

And also, when do they get their own surnames (Starfollower, Fastblade, Hookyhand, etc.)? Do they have to earn them? If someone's an orphan, do they get to choose?

I've seen very good surnames bandied around for the other Herons and now I want a conglomeration. *holds hands out* Toss 'em over, Brotherbanders.

hi hi hi hi

So sorry I haven't been around 4 a while!!!

*hands you conch shell* payment

Prompt!!!!!

Jesper fell asleep on Steph's shoulder.... teasing (Lydia, Edvin) ensues about how Stephan hasn't made a move yet.

Btw Stephan doesn't wanna move and disturb Jespers sleep...

But PLOT TWIST the story is from Jespers pov because he didn't actually fall asleep... and he hears EVERYTHING

*appears out of nowhere, carefully takes conch shell* thanks for your patience. *oooh pretty shell 🐚*

"Give it back," Stefan whisper-whines.

"Come take it," Lydia whispers back, holding the bracelet just of of Stefan's reach. Jesper keeps his eyelids as low as he can, watching. "You don't even have to get up."

"I can't!"

Jesper feels Stef's shoulder twitch and he holds still, ready to- he's not sure what he's ready to do, should Stefan dislodge him by reaching for the bracelet- but all he feels is a soft rush of breath as the blond boy sighs.

"Not waking him, Lyd. C'mon."

"Then you don't get the bracelet."

"...he'll make me another one."

A loud huff from Lydia. Jesper hears a tinkle of metal hitting the earth. "You're so boring."

Stefan still doesn't move to pick up the bracelet.

Jesper resolves to make Stefan another bracelet anyway.

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!!!

i think that Stefan would have two little sisters, with a bit of an age gap from him, who he absolutely adores and would die for. he takes them on walks along the harbor, one riding on his back and the other running all around underfoot all the workers while Stefan cheerfully jokes/insults them. :) and that's why he's so good at voices and mimickry, his little sisters love the gig, and barely know what his real voice sounds like beacause he speaks in funny voices to them so often.

...that last part sounds very much like me, actually. A good friend of mine told me that once.

I wrote in a piece a looooong time ago that Stefan had two brothers (I should go find it), but I really love this idea. Maybe he has half-sisters from the same father. Their names are Solveig (pronounced SUHL-vay,) and Signe (SEEN-yeh).

Everyone adores them, and they look upon the Herons as honorary brothers.

They love plaiting Stig's hair.

SIREN STEF SIREN STEF CAN I HACE SOME HCS PLES

(i think i asked already but then i forgot if i actually did or if i just thought i did so sorry if you already got this)

His skin feels itchy and dry sometimes. Any kind of water, sea or fresh, helps.

Sunshine seems to seek his smiles.

He has never lost a splash fight.

He's a fantastic swimmer, and while he can't stay underwater indefinitely, he can for a long time.

He's terrified of putting someone under a Singing spell by mistake.

He misses his mother a lot, and she misses him even more.

[reine-du-sourire]

stefan (brotherband) for the character bingo?

Stef!

[brotherbandarchive]

.*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."

[brotherbandarchive]

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.

Dior!Stefan

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.

[brotherbandarchive]

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

[brotherbandarchive]

"I appreciate the thought," Stefan says awkwardly, "but you really don't have to."

Stig doesn't put down the axe. "This isn't for you."

[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
