FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! '' what's that smell? '' [beat] '' is that cheese? '''' yeah, want some? '' + willie/anyone. My favourite chaos gremlin

Alex is almost asleep, it's been a long day and he's tired so he's drifting off before ten at night. He's alone in bed, waiting for Willie to join him, though the bed still seems so empty without Reggie there to cuddle them both.

But Reggie is away with Ray on a photography assignment shooting a big celebrity wedding. He is supposed to be back late tonight, but Alex doesn't think he can wait up to greet him. His eyes are already drooping, and he surrenders to dreamland before he even hears Willie get in the shower.

He's awoken some time later to the sensation of fingers running through his hair, and Alex can'y help but smile, even though he's usually grumpy when he doesn't get enough rest. "Hey baby," he slurs.

"Couldn't wait for me?" Willie teases.

"So tired," Alex groans, and then stops when his nostrils flare. "What's that smell?" He sniffs the air again, face screwing up as he recognizes the odour. "Is that cheese?"

"Yeah!" Willie exclaimed. "Apparently they had a giant spread of it at the wedding, and they told Reggie he could take as much as he wanted. Want some?"

Alex mustered the energy to open his eyes and glare at Willie. "My lactose intolerance and general dislike for eating in bed both say no thank you. Also that you shouldn't eat it either. The last wedding cheese gave you nightmares remember?"

Willie shuddered at the memory, and mournfully places the small plate of cheese to the nightstand. "Oh yeah, not eager to repeat that particular experience."

Alex sat up a little, stretching his arms with a yawn. "Now go put that in the fridge so it doesn't spoil and stink up the room." That's when he registered the sound of the shower turning off. "Wait, did you say Reggie was back?"

Willie bit back a smile and nodded, dashing off to the kitchen with his plate, and Alex could hear Reggie's indignant shout of "My cheese!" and the frantic chase that was certainly happening in their living room. Alex knew he should go out and investigate it, definitely stop them from racing around at this hour lest they get yet another noise complaint. But he's still tired, and the bed is comfy, so he lets himself stretch out.

It's only a few minutes later that Reggie comes in triumphant, popping a cheese cube in his mouth, still all damp from the shower, with Willie fake pouting behind him. "Stupid footstool tripped me up."

"You love that footstool," Reggie remarked, grinning widely. Which was true, they had invested in one that doubled as an ottoman, to appease Alex's need for storage solutions. But it was also shaped like a triceratops, to appeal to Willie's sense of whimsy and Reggie's love of dinosaurs. It was a compromise, and Willie had to grumble that dammit, he did love that footstool.

Reggie leapt into the bed, making the mattress bounce in the frame and Alex to send a withering glare his way that softened when Reggie granted him an apologetic look and a sweet kiss. "Hey boo, did you miss me?'

"I did until you called me boo," Alex snarked, but pulled Reggie down for a lengthier kiss before pulling back. "You taste like cheese. Go brush your teeth, and then come tell me about the shoot so I can go to sleep."

"Rude," Reggie said, though there was no malice in it, and he pulled Willie with him, and were back in a few minutes, minty fresh and snuggled into Alex's sides.

Reggie began going on about the wedding, the pretentious bride, the towering cake, the awful decor. Alex tried to stay awake, he really did. But he was still tired, and now he was comfy in between his loves, so he drifted back off, Willie following him soon after.

Reggie finally noticed them dozing and he shook his head. "I'll tell you in the morning then," he whispered, pressing tiny pecks to their foreheads, flicking off the lights, and quickly joined them in slumber.

Chapters: 2/3 Fandom: Julie and The Phantoms (TV 2020) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Caleb Covington & Willie Characters: Willie (Julie and The Phantoms), Caleb Covington Additional Tags: Foster Care, Adoption, Good Parent Caleb Covington, Vampires, (kind of), tiny chaos gremlin Willie, Kid Fic Series: Part 2 of The Care and Feeding of Dragons Summary:

Staring up at the big house, Willie was absolutely sure of it: his new foster dad was a vampire. It made sense. Caleb had the cape-like coat, and a lot of money, and he knew all about dragons. He was kind of sparkly, like that one vampire from that movie the girls at the group home liked. And his house looked just like the ones on the covers of scary movies and books. It even had a little tower.

Chapter 2 is up: in which Willie has... eclectic taste, Caleb learns parenting is maybe not that easy, and his friends drag him just a little.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your five favorite fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love. ❤️

Oooh, fun!

Of course I have to start with this could be home, aka The Foster Care AU, which is currently being updated every Thursday. In which Ray is the best (foster) dad ever, Reggie just really wants to be a Molina, Sunset Curve Comes As A Set, Willie finally found a foster placement that doesn't suck, and everyone is Going Through It.

Another favourite is the fever dream that is Fucked Up A Perfectly Good Statue Is What You Did (look at it, it’s got anxiety), which is my fuck you to the Pygmalion myth, with a lot of swearing, ridiculous shenanigans, Himbo Statue Come To Life Influencer Shitposter Alex, Confused But 'I guess this day can't get any weirder' sculptor Willie, a lot of peanut butter cups and swearing, some obscure art jokes, and a tiny clay mouse.

There's Old Houses Are Just Like That Sometimes, a Leverage fanfic featuring Opinionated Ghost Sophie, House Flipper Parker, Gardener Eliot, Ghost Hunter Hardison, and a spirit box meeting its deserved end.

Another favourite is the Care and Feeding Of Dragons, which starts with Little Dragon. Featuring weird but well-meaning foster dad Caleb who may or may not be a vampire, tiny chaos gremlin Willie, and Lancelot the plush dragon.

And because I love it even though I regularly forget I actually wrote it, Heaven is a place on earth, the Black Mirror San Junipero inspired ficlet about life after death, technology, identity, meet-weirds, friendship, and Being Adopted As The Favoured Grandson Without Knowing It.
