Want You a Latte

Want You a Latte by hufflebibin_rwrb T | 1.2k No Warnings Apply | Coffee Shop AU | Crack | Barista Henry

Henry has been practicing his latte art hearts for two weeks. He thinks they’re coming along pretty well.

“Listen, I would absolutely love to participate in whatever barista mating ritual this is because you are like distractingly hot and I didn’t want to say anything while you were working because that’s not cool, but please, you’ve got to stop putting dicks on my lattes.”

Ok, maybe not.

—

Or, Henry accidentally seduces Alex through phallic latte art.

(excerpt and full cover under the cut!)

Henry is decent at a great many things. He doesn’t think it’s being prideful to say so, just a fact. He’s got a lot of passable skills, several of them quite good, even.

Latte art is not one of them.

He’s been working at Z & S Café for eight months now and it took until three weeks ago for his flat whites to consistently come out with perfect circles on top. Hearts have been his new project for the past two weeks. They still come out at least a little wonky every time, but they’re miles better than they were when he started. Those — well, the less said about those the better.

A sharp burst of laughter and the scrape of a chair being pushed roughly off the carpet and onto the tile shakes Henry from his distracted thoughts. He really needs to get more sleep. Sure, it’s midterms, but that doesn’t mean he should settle for an hour or two a night. At least four hours tonight , he pleads to the universe. Then he realizes who has walked up to the counter and knows the universe is spiting him. You could’ve just said no, he thinks.

“Listen, I would absolutely love to participate in whatever barista mating ritual this is because you are like distractingly hot and I didn’t want to say anything while you were working because that’s not cool, but please, you’ve got to stop putting dicks on my lattes.”

I desperately need Dionysus as a father figure to Percy

And in the beginning he acts like he doesn’t care about Percy, but as time moves on it’s harder to hide his worry and concern for him

One day he gets into a fight with a powerful monster, and Percy wins but gets quite injured and almost dies (per usual)

And Dionysus is just like-

“What in the HELL JACKSON?! DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT WAS?! YOU COULD OF BEEN KILLED- AND I KNOW THATS NOT UNUSUAL FOR YOU- BUT THAT DOESNT MATTER, DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED-“

And he stops there, realizing what he just did

Percy’s eyes brighten and he grins, Chiron chuckles. “You do care about me!”

Dionysus sends a glare at Chiron. “I most certainly do not Peter Johnson, now go to the infirmary to get patched up, you look a mess.” And even after the insult Percy is just laughing, cause he just knew it

Dionysus isn’t good with showing affection, but he does little things

He always makes sure he’s fed, and that he’s getting enough sleep, that the other campers don’t pick on him too much, he’ll let him sit beside him at meetings, or Percy will help him cheat at that one card game him and Chiron play, and on the days Percy feels depressed, Dionysus forces him to be productive, to get outside and out of bed, and makes sure he’s hydrated, (Water bottles will show up in his room every once and a while or even just next to him), and even though he doesn’t give them often, Percy has a few gifts from him

#pjo disney+#percy pjo #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo fandom #pjo series #percy jackon and the olympians #son of dionysus au #dionysus #father son relationship #Dionysus is Percy’s dad #Percy can see that Dionysus doesn’t know how to show affection #but he’s trying #I feel like Dionysus gives off soccer mom energy almost #and if anyone messes with Percy it will not be pretty #don’t mess with his kid

good news on the third bruise childhood friends au instalment: I’ve almost finished. I thought I wouldn’t be done for weeks but I’m done, it just needs some editing

so. sneak peek and title reveal because I’m especially proud of this. the title is going to be ‘Cause Daddy Doesn’t Love Me, Mommy is a God. reference to the pjo musical.

and for the sneak peek:

~

At exactly four o’clock in the morning, Jay’s alarm sounded. He didn’t normally wake up so early, but sacrifices had to be made if he wanted to get to Ninjago City before sunrise. He grabbed his duffle bag and crept down to the kitchen, planning to get a quick breakfast. He didn’t expect his dad to be sitting at the table.

They made eye contact. Dad opened his mouth, clearly planning to ask what Jay was doing, so Jay spoke first. “I’m leaving,” he said.

That seemed to stun Dad into silence. “What?” He finally croaked out, face a perfect mask of shock and confusion.

“I’m leaving,” Jay repeated, “I don’t know if I’ll be back.”

“Why?”

Jay shuffled his feet. This conversation had not been a part of his plan. “I got an offer,” he decided to say. “I was told that I have potential, and that I could unlock it,”

Dad rose to his feet. “Who?” He demanded. “Who told you that?”

“Just someone,” Jay shrugged.

Dad narrowed his eyes. “Was his name Wu?”

#wip update #wip #ninjago #jay walker #Cliff isn’t a good parent #he never wanted to be one #but he’s trying #kinda #it’s a ‘too little too late’ kind of situation #bruise childhood friends au

From Arthur and Mordred To Ozai and Zuko (and the lives in-between)

[Or, where I take Arthurian Mythology, Harry Potter, and Avatar: the last Airbender and smash them into the same story-line.]

After their deaths at the battle of Camlann, Arthur Pendragon is given a choice: wait for whenever Albion needs him most, or enter a reincarnation cycle with two others in order for them to learn from and repent of their sins so that when they are finally needed, they can become the people they were always meant to be.

Arthur accepts this offer, weighed down by the crimes he committed against his son Mordred when the boy was a babe, and the senseless deaths of those who fought with him against his rebellious offspring, just to name a few things.

He ends up in a limbo of sorts, and finds his old mentor, Merlin and Mordred there waiting for him. Mordred feels immense guilt for trying to take over the kingdom and causing his father’s death, in what was ultimately a really badly thought out bid for his father’s love and acknowledgement.

Merlin doesn’t feel any guilt, whether for how he manipulated Arthur, or tried to drown Mordred as an infant, or even the debacle with Nimue. However his loyalty to Arthur is strong enough, and his heart is (usually) in the right place, which is enough for Fate and Death to give him a second chance.

In their second lives, Merlin is reborn as Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore, a wizard, Arthur is born as Tom Riddle, the non-magical son of wealthy land-owners. and just like Igraine, he was bewitched with a spell and fathered Mordred’s reincarnation, Tom Marvolo Riddle. In this timeline, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter die old and childless, James Potter never having been born. Lily Potter and Severus Snape are friends, but not in love with each orher. Given that the Mauraders never formed, Severus and many others school days weren’t made a humiliating hell. Remus did however, eventually form a friendship with Sirius Black. Harry Potter isn’t born, and the Prophecy is never given.

Tom Jr. still kills his father, rips his soul apart and goes mad while at the same time taking over the world. There is no one to stop him, until a few brave students (Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Cedric Diggory and Draco Malfoy) go off on a hunt for the horocruxes, and eventually destroy them. Albus Dumbledore is too busy actively fighting Voldemort and has somehow never learned of the horcruxes. It is Luna who is killed by the Ring’s curse while horcrux hunting, as she longs to see the mother who died when she was a young child.

When Mordred’s present life is finally killed, his soul is stitched back together, and Death gives him and Arthur a second chance to try and make better choices, by putting them in more optimal circumstances. They rewind to where Fate feels the first knot in the tapestry of the timeline is, and Arthur is reborn again, in the 1960s as James Potter. Unfortunately, due to Fate and Death’s meddling, in 1980 Sybil Trelawny gives a prophecy dooming a child who has already suffered in two lifetimes.

James has flashes of his past lives, as King Arthur and Tom Sr. He grows up feeling a sense of entitlement and that those around him are never what they seem. He has nightmares that push him to learn spells to test for drugs in his food and drinks, convinces his parents to let him learn to fight with swords. But it is only when he faces Voldemort on October 31 1981 that he really Remembers. By then, it is too late, and he dies again at his son’s hands.

Mordred has been reborn as Harry Potter. With no living father to direct his anger at over his living circumstances, and no mother dripping poison in his ears turning him against his father, he constantly searches for something that he is never able to name in the adults around him. The Dursleys’ fear of him is an odd comfort, and when he hears Petunia speaking of him with her neighbors, something about her words, warning them away from him, about how strange he is (he has heard this before, from someone he cared just as little) he smiles. Harry grows up despising the Dursleys’ and somehow realizing that he doesn’t belong with them.

Interestingly, when Harry starts Hogwarts, he goes into Ravenclaw. He also has a deep loathing of Albus Dumbledore for which he cannot explain. His times of battling Voldemort are confusing and disorienting.

Eventually Harry dies, is yet again reunited with his father, and gets the memories of his past lives downloaded into his brain. Coming back to life after his past self kills him? Harry ends the battle and just, goes to the nearest pub and gets thoroughly trashed.

Life goes on, as it always does, and Harry dies a second time, and is reborn in another universe, as a prince and a Firebender, named Zuko. Zuko’s father Ozai is the reincarnation of Arthur/Tom Riddle/James Potter. While Zuko’s uncle Iroh is the reincarnation of Merlin/Albus Dumbledore.

Things really only start to change the night Zuko is forced to fight in an agni kai after accidentally “disrespecting” his father. And he refuses. Ozai moves to strike, but the moment before his hand lights Zuko’s face on fire, a white light knocks them away from each other. The next half-hour is spent with Ozai and Zuko unconscious while they’re dealing with sorting through three life-times worth of memories.

Zuko wakes up first, and after getting his dual dao and packing a bag, tries to get out of the palace as quickly as possible, certain that Father is going to kill him for, y’know, killing him three times over.

The servant who intercepts him and drags him to go speak to his father deserves a raise with all the shouting and struggling the poor man has to deal with. Zuko ends up grounded for all the crap he pulled as Voldemort.

The underlying tension between Ozai and Zuko eventually explodes when the Avatar returns and Iroh’s memories of *his* past lives return.

[Looking at it, this probably would need like, at least three different books to do this justice]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
