Flirting by forcibly indoctrinating them into your favorite media

Excerpt: The Princess, the Knight, and the Beast

They are surrounded by the smell of limestone and salt, the water dripping from the ceiling composes a sweet, haunting polyrhythmic symphony broken only by the sounds of their breathing. Link’s brown skin is bathed in the softness of this mystical world around them, this world where the stars of the heavens commune with the earth, bathing this lowly plane in the celestial light of the Goddesses themselves. Latticed webbing of fungus mucilage hung in the corners of the cave and titiwai trailed themselves down like glowing streaks of rain. Pink brightcaps line the ground, bathing Link’s brown skin in a near imperceptible purple haze. And the water, oh, the water! It is the color of the sky in the morning, the bright blue shallows of the bay, it was indescribable with words alone, but Sidon swears it is the very color of Link’s eyes because those eyes—those blue, beautiful, hypnotizing eyes—are alight with the luminescent creatures and plants in this cave, his pretty lips are parted as he sits there, still, open mouthed drinking in the stars that shine where the moon’s light does not reach.

“How? I’ve seen the brightcaps before, but…” Link’s hands trail off, gesturing widely in wonder.

“Most commonly it is caused by the chemical compound luciferin possessed by a number of organisms that reacts when exposed to oxygen. It can be seen very faintly in the light of the sun or moon, but only to those with very sensitive senses of sight. However, in the dark, their light is unfettered.” Sidon had studied the scientific reasoning behind the phenomena after leaving Link the last time and coming up with this plan, just in case the Hylian asked. “In this cave system titiwai—or glowworms in Hyrulean Common—and the mucilage of fungus hang down from above, and in the water live the microscopic algae dinoflagellate.” He sincerely hopes that the deep specifics of what lived in the cave would distract Link from asking—

“How does it happen uncommonly?”

—Exactly that.

He could lie, of course. Omitting the truth isn’t fully a lie, but there’s really nothing to worry about—it isn’t as if his luminescence would present itself with a non-Zora.

My thoughts on the champion!Patroclus au are so disorganized I have not slept, but know that the main reason for its existence is that fictional men are infinitely more attractive when sweaty and covered in blood

QUICK NO ONE'S LOOKING

(See readmore for thoughts, cope, bonus, etc.)

Anyone else up thinking about Ratio's big, strong, secure arms and how warm and all-consuming they could be in a hug or embrace. :/ Anyway

I just wanted to draw them being cute and seizing a sliver of a moment where they could have some PDA silly time without actually having any eyes on them. They're public figures and working adults with very clear boundaries between public persona and private life (to varying degrees of "in a sad way"), so while it may be in Aventurine's nature to constantly blur lines for various agendas and self-preservation (read: play "the flirt" without an aligned goal), I believe that in an actual relationship they'd be fairly private.

It's kind of fun to break your own rules, though! Ratio would be more upset about the consequences, though. He's a little bit of a hypocrite, which is devastating for someone of such discipline, but nobody's perfect.

I'm of the mentality of, "If you're tired of working on it, then just post it!", so here are some fun peripherals that I didn't feel like adding:

Some staff in the background sweeping up to evoke a blended sense of fragile privacy and liminal time.

A laptop on the aquarium/bar/counter because there's something fascinating about seeing people on their work laptops in public.

The rest of their clothes (casual friday)
