Fluffvember 18

Music // “I learned this from my parents”

Tags: gn reader, reader x vander, implied sex

warnings: he a little handsy but nothing happens

author’s note: here’s one i wrote but didn’t post, i’m not going to write more of these but i figured might as well post it. Takes place in ekko’s au world, during the dance scene

“They look like they’re having fun.” Vander muses, nodding towards everyone dancing. You spot a shock of blue through the crowd, Powder being spun by Ekko. Vander drapes his hand around you, resting against your hip. His hair is half up, half down, in that silly little bun you always found endearing. “It’s cute.” He rubs your hip, hand sliding down to the waistband of your pants. “Young love…” 

“I can feel your hands, Vander.” You bat his hand off his hip, a grin playing on your face. “You’re not slick, old man.” 

“Worth a try, wasn’t it?” He pulls you closer and kisses your shoulder. “I love you, dearest.” He murmurs into the fabric of your shirt. “This is a nice song. Perfect for dancing.” He whispers, his beard tickling your skin through the fabric. His hand comes up from your hip and to your shoulder, pulling you back from the bar and flush with him. ”Dance with me? Please?” 

You laugh, reaching up to cup his cheek and draw him down for a kiss. “Whatever you want, my love.” You whisper against his lips, just loud enough for him to hear you over the music. Watching his expression after you kiss him has always been one of your favorite activities. The way his brow relaxes, how his face just softens. “Whatever you want.” You repeat, one hand finding his shoulder and the other coming to his side. You sway back and forth together behind the bar, nothing flamboyant or practiced, just holding each other close while the world seems to brighten around you.

Hug // “This isn’t a negotiation, friend”

Tags: Gn reader, reader x vander, pre relationship, fluff, sick fic

warnings: reader is sick with a head cold

author’s note: sick ficccc hell yeah dude

You’re drifting in and out of consciousness, your eyelids heavy with exhaustion and sickness. Heavy blankets are pulled over you, burying you in a cocoon of warmth and protection. You reach for the tissue box again, scooting to sit up in bed a little more. The room is empty, the door shut. After a second, it starts to set in that this isn’t your room. There are kid’s drawings littered about the walls, familiar clothes draped over the back of a chair, and it’s significantly warmer in here than your apartment. 

Your cold-addled brain is slow to put together your memories. You slump back into the pillows and the incredibly comfy bed as you slowly start to remember the night before, coming into work despite your stuffy nose and fatigue, and it had only gotten worse until you passed out behind the bar. 

Your thoughts are interrupted by the door opening. “You’re awake,” Vander appears in the doorway, holding a tray of food. “How’re you feeling?” 

“…’m a’ight.” You wince at the sound of your voice all congested. “This is… your room?” You ask as he steps closer. 

“Sure is.” He sets the tray down on the bedside table, reaching out to check your temperature with the back of his hand. “You’re feeling warmer.” He says, his tone worried. “Lay down, alright? You need your rest.” He puts a firm hand on your shoulder, forcing you down to the sheets. 

“This be’ ‘s really warm.” You slur, reaching to pull his hand down with you. 

“That’s the fever talking, my dear.” He chuckles. “You want me to stay with you a while?”

”M al’ight.” You struggle against his firm hand. “T’ink I can go back to my place,” 

“This isn’t a negotiation, friend. Can’t have my favorite server stumbling sick through the streets, now, can I?”

Fluffvember 15

In the firelight/candlelight // “I love you”

Tags: gn reader, reader x vander, fluff, parenting

warnings: vi has a nightmare and wakes up crying, no details about the nightmare are given.

author’s note: done with exams, which means more writing time! I’ve never shared my writing online before so i was nervy but yall have been amazing to me, thank you. :)

You wake up to the sound of crying. “Don’t worry ‘bout it.” A hand is placed on your shoulder, the bed creaking as you come to. You sit up slowly, watching him grapple with a shirt, his back turned. The room is dark, and you narrow your eyes as he opens the door, letting in a crack of light. After a moment, you straighten up fully, forcing yourself to step out of bed and follow. 

Soft whispers join the crying, which has started to fade into hiccups as you near the kids’ room. The door is open an inch, and you near the frame slowly, your footsteps light on the cold floor. Vander is kneeling on the floor next to Violet’s bed, cradling her gently while she cries on his shoulder. Across the room, Powder sits with her feet tucked under her, watching her older sister with a nervous expression. She spots you, shrinking a little, and you nod towards her, reaching out an arm. She doesn’t hesitate to silently dart out of bed and to your side, and you wrap an arm around her head, softly carding your fingers through her hair. You reach down to scoop her up, turning to carry her out from the doorway and to the couch in the communal room outside. You make sure to gently shut the door behind you, muffling the noises of her big sister’s wails. 

You plop down on the couch together, and Powder burrows into your chest. “There you go.” You reach for the throw blanket, draping it over her small frame. “S alright, dear.” You whisper, tucking the coarse blanket around her. “She’ll be fine soon. Everyone has bad dreams.”

Powder falls back asleep in no time, conked out in your lap. Soon enough, Violet’s cries fade to sniffles, and then stop. A moment later, Vander steps out of the room, and you lift your head from where you’d been resting. 

“Told you not to worry ‘bout it.” He says when he sees you holding Powder.

”And I didn’t.” You keep running your hand over Powder’s back, feather light. “No worries here.” You take a deep breath before standing up slowly, making sure not to disturb the sleeping girl. You carry her back to bed and set her down, pulling the blankets back up and tucking in a stuffed animal next to her while Vander watches.

It’s only after the door is shut behind you again that he speaks. “Still. You don’t have to do all this.”

”I know what I’m signing up for, Vander.” You insist. “I have just as much of a responsibility of love to them as I do to you.”

It takes him a moment, but he cracks. “…Thank you, love.” He reaches out and touches the side of your face. “You’re smarter than I’ll ever hope to be.” He whispers, stepping forward and lining up your foreheads, so you can feel his warm skin against you. “I love you.”

”I love you too.” You reply, and it feels natural. “Carry me to bed?” You whisper, and his arms wrap around your sides, scooping you up and into the air, back towards his bedroom.

Fluffvember 12

Dog/cat/pet // “I can die happy now”

tags: gn reader, vander x reader, fluff, parenting, no pronouns used for reader

warnings: none!

author’s note: long time no see! Done with 3/6 of my exams, so i’m feeling a lot better and have a little more writing stamina. Enjoy the fluff :) this one is less vander x reader and more reader & vander’s kids but it’s still cute af. Also on the longer side today!

You wake up way too early, so early that you can feel the tiredness in your bones. You can feel something tugging at your shirt, and your blink the blurriness out of your eyes to see a tiny blue head of hair standing at the side of your bed. “Hey, Powder.” You whisper, pushing yourself to sit up. “You feelin’ alright, darling?” You ask, trying not to seem too concerned. 

The girl nods, still tugging on your shirt. “I wanna show you something.” She murmurs, her eyes pleading. “Please?” She begs.

“Of course, dear.” You reach out to place a gentle hand on her head, musing her choppy hair. “Give me one moment and I’ll be right out, okay?”

Powder nods and scurries out of the room, the door clicking closed behind her. You reach up to rub your eyes, sighing as you sit up and kick off the blankets. Vander is asleep on the other side of the bed, the blankets pooling around his waist. “Blanket hog.” You whisper, leaning over to kiss the back of his head. You’d always know about Vander’s kids, way before you started dating him, and you made it clear from the start that you knew how important they were. If dating the kindest, gentlest, and frankly, hottest man in Zaun meant playing parent to the rowdiest kids in the world, you’d better bet you were happy to babysit. 

You dig around for your clothes, dressing as quickly as you can before stepping out of bed. You find Powder kneeling next to the couch in the living room, and Claggor sitting nearby with something in his lap. They’re murmuring in low tones, and Claggor perks up when he sees you. 

“What is it this time?” You fold your arms, your tone soft. 

Powder scoops the foreign object out of her brother’s lap and hurries over to you, cradling in her arms. “We found her in the gutter!” She whisper shouts, grinning from ear to ear. “Please, we have to keep her. She’s a baby.” In Powder’s arms is a miniscule kitten with bitten ears and patchy fur. 

You raise your eyebrows. “In the gutter? Really?” You glance over to Claggor, and he shrugs and nods. ”I don’t know if we can keep the thing-“ you stop when you see Powder’s pleading eyes and the way her arms tighten around the kitten, which lets out a little mewl. “…You thought I’d be more likely to say yes than Vander, huh?” 

“Please, please, she’s so small, you can’t kick her out.” She begs, holding out the kitten to you. “We already made a bed for her.” She tilts her head towards the pile of sheets on the couch, set up in a sort of nest. 

You sigh, running a hand through your hair. “Fine. As long as you two are going to be responsible for her. That means feeding her, cleaning up her mess, all that.” You smile as Powder celebrates quietly, spinning around with the cat in her arms. Claggor leans back against the sofa, a smile creeping onto his face too. You knew you’d probably be in trouble when Vander found out about this, but you didn’t mind, not if it made these kids so excited.
