i come bearing a revalink suggestion,, they’re friends?? rivals?? but Revali’s been trying to rile Link up in a more flirtatious way and it all comes to a head when the champaign’s are out on an expedition with Zelda and oops! someone forgot to bring enough bedrolls for the night, enter: sharing a bed

yk what i mean

HI ANON i'm sorry i took so long to answer 😭 but thank you for the suggestion 👁️👁️ i've written about revalink sharing a hammock, but that was them in an established relationship, so this.... and they were hammockmates (oh my god they were hammockmates)

the premise of my canon-based situationship fic (if i ever get to write it LOL) was going to kinda be like this, a pre-calamity revalink who have decided they are no longer going to be rivals, but not necessarily friends, and then somehow revali catches feelings for link 😄 i just love the idea of revali seeing link and being like "this fucking idiot. i want him so bad." and reluctantly attempting to court him even if he knows that link doesn't understand what he's trying to do. my favorite part of this is that link is completely clueless. he has no idea what the hell is going on but he appreciates that revali is nicer to him :D

(warning: long ass fucking post. but we are so fucking back baby)

imagine revali trying his damndest to work up the courage to go give link a bouquet of swift violets, because (1) he knows it's a hylian courting ritual and link is a pretty simple guy, so he'll probably appreciate flowers, right? (2) revali thinks swift violets are very pretty flowers actually, and (3) they have a functional use in increasing link's speed during a fight when cooked into a meal, and with how often link gets injured in battle, goddess knows he needs the extra boost. imagining revali trying to give the bouquet to link on several occasions, but he always ends up chickening out or he waits too long so the bouquet gets ruined or dies so he has to gather more flowers for a new one, and when he finally gets to actually hand the bouquet to link, he gets nervous and insults link like the dumbass he is 😭 ("being the one with more foresight between the two of us, i predicted you would be in great need of something as simple as these swift violets. perhaps you could stand to learn a meal or two utilizing their innate effects on the field.") and then it turns out link is actually allergic to swift violets KJDHFKJSHDKFJH and revali has to take him to the infirmary in shame

just an endless string of the most cartoonish failures of revali's attempts to court link ☝️😹 because it either ends in disaster or link completely misunderstands the situation, and of course revali gets frustrated that link isn't understanding his advances, what an idiot! and it makes him want link even more! so his advances become more and more obvious until even daruk is like. hey man. please calm down now it's not that serious. and revali is like NO he's so stupid daruk how can he not understand that i am trying to court him!!! how much clearer can i make it? (meanwhile daruk is like 🧍)

but revali's desperate pleads are answered when zelda calls the champions early in the morning into the throne room for a mission 🙇 i'm thinking maybe there have been sightings of a lynel up in the northernmost part of akkala and it seems to be much more powerful that the citadel squadrons can handle, so they've called in the help of the champions. not that i'm actually gonna write about them fighting the lynel though 😹 you know me, i just be creating context and circumstances wherever i go

"they couldn't handle one lynel? revali says, when the princess finishes. "you would think a fortress chock-full of hyrule's greatest soldiers would be able to take at least one down."

"well, i don't see you volunteering," urbosa says crossing her arms, a faint smile on her lips. "would you like to show them how it's done?"

revali shoots her a glare and then tilts his beak up, tossing his braids over his shoulder. "hmph. i normally don't waste my time on something as savage as a lynel, but if it could inspire better archers of the citadel, then i suppose my extraordinary skills may be necessary there." out of the corner of his eye, he glances at link; the little hylian doesn't react at all to his boasting, continuing to stand calmly at attention. it irks something in revali, but he blows air out of his beak and turns his head again. stupid link.

zelda sighs. "well, if we are all settled then, i dismiss you all to begin preparations to leave. we hope to leave just past noon and make it to foothill stable by nightfall."

"that'll be right in between our homes, miphy!" daruk says, placing his hands on his hips and leaning backward to laugh heartily. "ah, we've stayed at the castle so long i almost forgot what the heat of death mountain feels like!"

"i feel similarly, daruk," mipha says, giving a small smile. "i wonder if my father and sidon are doing well..."

zelda bows her head in remorse. "i apologize for keeping you all from home for so long. i did not intend for you to stay this long, either."

"it's alright, little bird," urbosa says, stepping forward to place a hand on zelda's shoulder in reassurance. "it's our duty as champions to serve the land of hyrule and protect it from all evildoing. if staying a little longer is what will ensure this era of peace and prosperity, then so be it; we can be patient." she smiles at the princess, and zelda stares at her with wide eyes for a moment before returning the smile.

"thank you, urbosa, i appreciate your kind words," she says. zelda turns back to the rest of the champions and bows her head slightly again. "i will see you all in a few hours. thank you."

SORRY FOR WRITING OUT THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROMPT LMAO. ONCE AGAIN. I JUST LOVE TO SET THE STAGE AND CREATE A CIRCUMSTANCE. i also just miss the lack of champions in totk 🥹 but anyways! zelda & the champions meet at the front of the castle and with some extra personnel (hi impa!) & a battalion, they all set out towards the akkala citadel as the sun hits its peak in the sky.

at this point, you might be thinking, why don't they just travel in the divine beasts since they're bigger and can cover more ground in a shorter period of time? and to that i tell you, 🌸 shut the fuck up 🌸 KJDFHKDFJKH nah but in my head in this point of time, the champions all left their divine beasts in their respective regions because they're all still learning to control them and they would rather not go stomping around on random civilians while traversing hyrule. do you know how insane it would be to be a traveler going through hyrule field to visit the coliseum or something and then all of a sudden, a gigantic stone camel with long ass legs nearly squashes you flat? i would die of a heart attack on the spot.

i also think it's important to romanticize the naturalness of traveling on-foot and it would also be interesting to see how they would accommodate for each champions' needs or habits as they travel together; they have to travel near water so that mipha doesn't dehydrate, revali and daruk leave the main group momentarily every now and then to go burst into the sky or roll down further along the path respectively bc they're sick of walking, etc.

the group reaches foothill stable just after sundown; revali complains that they should have just brute forced it to the citadel since it was just further down the road, but zelda insists that it could be dangerous since ganon's power seems to be growing and they could be ambushed by monsters in the night. as safe as the citadel seems, they shouldn't let down their guard! so revali, not wanting to fight with the literal princess of hyrule, just shuts his beak and trudges along after the rest of the group, the calm warm glow of the stable in the distance growing brighter as they approach. he won't admit it out loud but he's a little weary from travel too 😹

link and zelda board their horses at the stable, and everyone else sets up camp just off to the side of the stable, pitching tents, starting campfires and cooking pots, and passing out bedrolls. but as they unpack and pass out bedrolls, they realize that there's not enough for everyone to sleep comfortably through the night. zelda pays for the rest of the beds in the stable to cover for the rest of the battalion, but it leaves out one soldier who link knows happens to have sleeping problems or something. so he decides to give up his bedroll to the dude; it's not like he needs it as much, he could probably fall asleep straight in the dirt right now if he wanted.

"ah, champion link! i couldn't take this from you—" the man starts, but link just shakes his head and pushes the bedroll into his arms, giving him an insistent look. the soldier accepts the bedroll in defeat, but bows his head. "oh... well thank you, champion, i appreciate it very much!" link nods and turns away before returning to the rest of the champions.

"hello, link— where's your bedroll?" mipha says, noticing the lack of one in his hands. link tilts his head back towards the soldier he had given his bedroll to. "oh, what about you?"

he just shakes his head. "don't need one," link says softly. though he's comfortable speaking with the champions, he's still not used to the way his own voice reverberates against his throat; he hasn't used his voice as much as he should since he took his 'vow of silence'.

"what do you mean you don't need one, little guy?" daruk says, scratching his head. "i might be a goron, but fleshy little hylians like you are made for fluffy beds and—"

but link pays him no mind and strides over to a nearby tree (one that happens to be near the two that revali has set his hammock up at 👁️), drops his stuff on the ground and sits next to it, leaning against the tree with his arms crossed. mipha and daruk both open their mouths to object, but urbosa places a hand on both of their shoulders.

"leave him be," she says, as all of them watch link settle against the tree. "that boy is far too stubborn for his own good. once he has his mind set on something, he won't give up."

"you sure the little guy's gonna be alright?" daruk says, face contorted into an expression of concern. "i know he's tough, but i can't imagine that what he's doing is comfortable at all."

"he'll be fine," urbosa reassures him. she glances to the side, where revali is already keeping an eye on link, sitting at the tree where the farther end of his hammock from the little hylian is tied and tending to his bow. she smirks knowingly; "he's already in good care."

so everyone gets ready for the night; the battalion soldiers are already fast asleep, zelda, urbosa, and impa are sleeping in the stable beds, daruk is rolled up closer to the rockier terrain near the stable, mipha is straight up sleeping in the nearby cephla lake, leaving link and revali to be the only people awake. they're both still sitting against the trees, revali making the final tweaks to the great eagle bow and link polishing the master sword. revali has been stealing glances at link the entire time, watching and waiting for an opportunity (and also working up the courage) to say something. even at the base of death mountain, the cold night wind perseveres and revali catches every single tremor that goes through link's body as he shivers. maybe he could offer to...

"why did you give up your bedroll?" revali says finally. to be honest, he could probably already figure out an answer if he wanted to, but he asks anyway.

link pauses and glances up at him, before returning to polishing. revali's feathers ruffle at the lack of answer and he looks away, beak clenching. while he cared not for link's stance on verbal speech, acknowledging him and not giving an answer was rather unnecessary, wasn't it? especially since link had grown comfortable speaking with the princess and the champions, that should have included revali as well—

"i don't need one," link says suddenly, so softly, revali has to hold his breath, straining to hear the little hylian. link's voice is so quiet, it could be carried away by the night wind and revali is borderline obsessed with it, but the answer he gives is the same one he had given to the other champions. so revali says nothing and stares at link, prompting him to elaborate. "torin needed it more than me."

"torin?" revali questions. he wonders how much of the hyrulean army link knows by name.

"the man i gave my bedroll to," link replies, still wiping at his blade. "excellent fighter, great with a sword. but his chronic pain makes it difficult for him on the field." he sets down the cloth he was using to polish the master sword with and holds it up, appraising the blade. it glints in the moonlight quite elegantly. "giving him my bedroll is the least i can do to aid his comfort."

for a moment, revali is speechless; he had known that link was rather altruistic, always offering to help out even if it was inconvenient to himself. perhaps he shouldn't be surprised at all.

"you didn't have to do that though," revali says. he has stopped tending to his own bow at this point, letting it lay across his lap instead. "isn't it 'first come first serve' with you hylians? you were one of the first to receive a bedroll. you could have kept it to yourself, and i doubt anyone would complain since you're their champion."

link only shakes his head. "he needed it more than me," he insists, still in the same soft voice. "as a captain and a champion, it's my duty to care for my fellow knights. we're only as strong as our weakest member."

"then what about you?" revali says, staring straight at link. "if that's true, you're in no better of a situation than he was in previously."

"i'll survive," link says simply, and then, he yawns. at the same exact moment, another cold night breeze passes by, tousling link's bangs and once more does revali watch, completely entranced by the way link's body shivers in reaction. then, he slides the master sword back in its scabbard before raising his arms to stretch and yawn again. "sleeping on the ground for one night isn't that big of a deal."

and revali sees his chance and it stares right back at him like it's a challenge, like an eye glowing bright gold in the darkness; this is now or never.

"you don't have to sleep on the ground," he says quietly, but he looks down at the bow in his lap when he says it. in the corner of his eye, he sees link's arms pause mid-stretch before he slowly lowers them. he can feel the piercing blue gaze of link's eyes searing right through his cheek feathers and in turn, his heart skips a beat. stupid, stupid link. revali wishes he could despise the effect that a hylian of all people has on him.

"what do you mean?" link says in similar volume.

revali looks up to meet his gaze and swallows at the sight of those terribly beautiful blue eyes sparkling at him in the moonlight. now or never. "you could stay with me," he says softly, before he loses his nerve.

and link's eyes widen. if revali lets his vision blur a little, perhaps he can convince himself into thinking that the pink flush on link's cheeks is just the natural color of hylian skin, or just a trick of the moon's light and the glow of lava oozing down death mountain above them. but nothing can change the fact that he can see the entirety of link's irises, or the slight part in his lips.

"with you? in your...?" link whispers, but in this moment, his voice is the only thing the rito can hear at all. revali gives a single nod. "why?" there's not a single hint of mirth in link's voice, only genuine surprise.

revali looks away. "your heroism makes you foolish enough to give up the supplies necessary for your own survival in order to ensure the survival of others," he murmurs. "look at you, you're shaking in the cold like a loose feather. if you were a rito like i, you wouldn't have this problem."

he hears link snort and glances up at him. link is looking at him fully, a small smile on his face, and perhaps they are far too close to death mountain with the way that heat floods revali's cheeks and makes his limbs melt into the ground.

"and we wouldn't want the princess and the hyrulean army to wake up in the morning finding that their beloved champion froze to death in the night," he continues softly.

"no, i suppose not," link replies, still smiling. but the smile fades in the next moment or two, the pink flush revali had tried to pretend was just the color of his skin returning to link's cheeks much darker than before, as if to goad him. "s-so... how are we going to...?" he trails off, staring at revali with wide blue eyes.

revali blinks, and then swallows. truthfully, he didn't think he would get this far, but there's no backing out now. with his heart grabbing the bones of his ribcage and bashing its head against them, revali stands dusting himself off and hangs the great eagle bow on one of the branches of the tree. then, he turns back to face link, who's still staring at him with wide blue eyes and his pretty pink-flushed face from the ground. he walks towards link until he's standing in front of the little hylian, and then offers a hand.

"well firstly, are you ready for bed?" revali says, attempting to sound irritated, like his own offer is an inconvenience to him. but it's all in vain; his voice comes out too soft, too tender, too fond.

link stares up at him for a couple moments more before nodding, so revali extends his hand a little further out. "hurry up then," he says, voice still so unbearably soft. "i wouldn't do this for anyone else."

so link takes his hand and revali pulls him up in one swift movement. but he pulls too hard, because before he can even register it, suddenly both of link's hands are on his chest, his body pressed up against revali's. instinctively, one of his arms goes to circle link's waist, pushing them closer together, and the rito's ears are full of the sound of link's quiet gasp at the pressure; is he depraved to want to push him closer, to hear it again?

"s-sorry," link whispers, just slightly pushing off of revali's chest. "i didn't mean to—"

"it's fine," revali whispers back. with all his will, he lets his arm fall from link's waist to let him step away, resisting the urge to pull the warm little hylian back into his embrace. hylia above, how could revali ever have offered to share his hammock with such depravities rotting his mind?

revali turns away to walk towards the hammock, desperately trying to ignore the electric pull of the string tying him back to link. he looks over his shoulder back at the little hylian. "come on," revali says, feigning all the coolness, all the suaveness he can muster. the show must go on, after all.

revali slides into the hammock easily, settling into a comfortable position, and then he looks back at link. the little hylian stares down at his body and suddenly he feels self-conscious, his crest feathers ruffling. "are you getting in or would you rather stand there until sunrise?" revali snaps, and then cringes at his own tone.

but link only looks at him with the same wide, blue-eyed gaze sparkling in the moonlight. "yeah," he whispers, "i just..."

"just get in," revali mutters, looking away. "i won't fall out unless you're trying to make me fall out on purpose."

and slowly, so slowly, link grabs the edge of the hammock closer to him with hesitant, gentle fingers. he looks up at revali, who gives him a nod of encouragement, so he continues, reaching over revali's chest to grab the opposite edge of the hammock and begins to climb in. with some fidgeting and struggling, link lies atop revali's chest, their legs somehow tangled together. revali hopes the little hylian can't hear his heart drumming its high-strung song against his ribs.

"you're so warm," link whispers. "i didn't think you'd be."

"how do you think the rito are able to live so close to the hebra mountains?" revali murmurs back. "our feathers are insulative and keep us warm even in the most bitter of winters." he pauses, considering his next words, and then continues. "if you ever return to the village... our artisans are working on a prototype of an outfit to help featherless hylians like yourself brave the frigid temperatures of hebra. they are... using some of my own plumage to make it. if you wanted to truly experience the power of rito feathers yourself, i extend an invitation for you to come visit rito village at your earliest convenience."

"i'd like that a lot," link murmurs in response.

the rito hums in acknowledgement and they both fall silent. another cold wind breezes past and this time, link curls closer around revali's body, sighing quietly. instinctively, the rito raises his wings and drapes them around the little hylian's form in response, pressing him even closer than before. they stay just like this, beginning to drift off to the sounds of nature around them.

"revali?" link says suddenly, pulling revali a little bit out of his drowsy.

"mm?" revali replies. he doesn't try to summon the energy to even pretend to be irritated, only wrapping his wings tighter around link's body.

"thank you," link whispers. "for this. you didn't have to."

revali just hums back, letting the drowsiness pull him under. "go to sleep," he mumbles. "there will be more time for gratitude in the morning."

"okay," link whispers back, and revali feels him snuggle closer. there's a moment of hesitation, and in the next, it dissipates as revali finally falls asleep, feeling link's arms circle his torso, embracing him gently.

in the morning, the champions find them wrapped around each other in the hammock, urbosa being the first. she smirks down at them, a hand on her hip and shaking her head in amusement.

"ah, urbosa, where's link—?" mipha says as she approaches the chieftess. but she spots them right away, snapping her mouth shut and blinking owlishly until it grows in a held-back grin.

"i told you, link is already in good care," urbosa says. she looks past mipha to see daruk and zelda walking over, the latter yawning and tying her hair up. when they see the predicament that revali and link have gotten themselves into, daruk has to hold back a guffaw and zelda just rolls her eyes.

"they took their time, didn't they?" zelda grumbles.

"with all due respect, you should not be the one to talk, princess," mipha says, smiling politely. zelda wrinkles her nose at the zora princess, who giggles behind her hand.

"none of you should be talking at all," comes revali's voice, gravelly and hoarse from sleep. the champions turn back to the hammock, where revali gives them a dirty look with only one eye open. he remains in his position in the hammock, wings still wrapped around link who's asleep on his chest. "speak louder than a summer breeze and i'll show you the true strength of a rito's shot."

"my, my, so aggressive," urbosa muses. "has he made you soft for him already?" revali's glare only intensifies, so she holds up her hands in playful surrender. "alright, i'll leave you two alone. everyone, let's go start making breakfast. we have some time before we need to be at the citadel."

the rest of the champions begin to walk over to the cooking pots they've set up, zelda's head on mipha's shoulder and daruk listing off what his favorite types of rock meals are for breakfast. when they're out of earshot, revali relaxes and lets a breath out through the nares of his beak.

"what'd they mean, 'take our time'?" link suddenly mumbles against revali's chest.

revali blinks in surprise, staring down at the mop of dark gold hair atop him. "nothing you need to concern yourself with," he says, eyes wide. "when did you wake up?"

"been 'wake since 'fore sunrise," link mumbles. "jus' too warm 'n comfy to get up. hope you don't mind."

revali relaxes and sighs. "you're lucky i'm too comfortable to care either," he murmurs. he adjusts the way his wings are wrapped around link's body, and the little hylian hums and snuggles closer. suddenly, revali feels wide awake and he swears his heart could jump right out of his chest right now. "do you plan on remaining shackled to my body for the rest of the morning?"

"if you'll let me," link murmurs in response, and the rito feels like the breath has been stolen from his lungs.

"fine," revali acquiesces, once he feels like he can breathe again. "just this once... you'll have to get up to eat anyway. everyone here knows about your voracious appetite. you're incredibly insatiable for a hylian." it's not like he truly wants link to leave anyway... but link doesn't need to know that part.

link hums. "okay." they're both quiet for a couple moments, until the little hylian speaks again. "thank you again for this, revali. i appreciate it a lot."

revali pauses, his heart skipping several beats now. "good to know you possess enough of a developed brain to not take my gifts for granted," he replies, barely keeping the tremor out of his voice. but the rito's voice softens as he continues. "and... you're welcome. my kindness is not a gift i grant as often as you might think. so treasure it now; you may not be so lucky to receive it so freely again."

"i will," link replies, his voice muffled in revali's feathers. the rito swears he can feel link smiling into his skin. "so thanks again."

revali blows air through his nares of his beak. stupid, stupid link. try as he might to reject and dislike the effect this little hylian has on him, he can't help but crave it more and more. perhaps the bestowal of more of revali's gifts onto link are in order...

Cheap Date Ideas

Planning inexpensive dates can be just as enjoyable and memorable as more extravagant outings. Here are some budget-friendly date ideas to consider:

1. Picnic in the Park:

Pack a picnic basket with homemade sandwiches, snacks, and drinks, and head to a nearby park for a relaxing outdoor meal. Enjoy the scenery, go for a leisurely walk, or simply relax on a blanket and soak up the sun.

Have a cozy movie night at home with a selection of your favorite films or a movie marathon. Pop some popcorn, snuggle up on the couch with blankets, and enjoy a night of cinematic entertainment without the high cost of movie theater tickets.

3. DIY Cooking Class:

Plan a fun and interactive cooking class at home by choosing a new recipe to try together. Get creative in the kitchen as you prepare a homemade meal or dessert, and enjoy the satisfaction of cooking together while saving money on dining out.

4. Game Night:

Host a game night with board games, card games, or video games for some friendly competition and entertainment. Dust off your favorite games or try out new ones, and enjoy hours of fun and laughter without spending a lot of money.

Go for a hike, bike ride, or nature walk together at a local park, nature reserve, or scenic trail. Explore the great outdoors, take in the sights and sounds of nature, and enjoy some quality time together in the fresh air without spending a dime.

6. Visit a Free Museum or Gallery:

Many museums and art galleries offer free admission on certain days or evenings. Take advantage of these opportunities to explore cultural exhibits, historical artifacts, and artistic masterpieces together without breaking the bank.

7. Stargazing:

Spend a romantic evening stargazing together in your backyard, at a local observatory, or in a secluded spot away from city lights. Bring a blanket, lay back, and marvel at the beauty of the night sky while sharing stories and making wishes on shooting stars.

8. Volunteer Together:

Give back to your community and bond as a couple by volunteering your time together at a local charity, animal shelter, or community event. Whether it's serving meals at a soup kitchen, cleaning up a park, or helping out at a fundraising event, volunteering can be a rewarding and meaningful way to spend time together without spending money.

9. DIY Craft Night:

Get crafty together with a DIY craft night at home. Choose a craft project that interests you both, such as painting, pottery, scrapbooking, or DIY home decor, and spend the evening unleashing your creativity while making something special together.

10. Scenic Drive:

Take a scenic drive together along a scenic route or through picturesque countryside. Roll down the windows, crank up the music, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the open road as you embark on a spontaneous adventure together.

These budget-friendly date ideas are perfect for couples looking to spend quality time together without breaking the bank. Whether you're enjoying a simple picnic in the park, having a movie night at home, or exploring the great outdoors, the most important thing is to cherish each other's company and create lasting memories together.

Consider: Sticky, Reynie, and Kate were all probably still losing teeth when the first three books took place

#Ahhhhhhh #They were so SMALL #Thinking about Kate having no idea about the tooth fairy or the silly ceremony surrounding a lost tooth #Until she gets to the circus that is #Because I bet Moocho and the other circus people had a whole ritual for her #And Sticky not believing in a tooth fairy and his parents being unsure how to celebrate him growing up in that small way #So they just. Don't.#And Reynie already having lost a couple of teeth by the time he met Miss Perumal and trying to handle it on his own 'Like An Adult'#But of course she notices when he's missing a tooth and gets him some sort of silly small present #I don't know #It was always a thing in my house growing up #Not a big thing #But a fun little reason to celebrate with a tiny gift or a special treat #Here I am putting my life experiences onto these kids asdfjkjasdf #mbs

hey for my fellow webkinz lovers here on tumblr. What's your webkinz "white whale"? Like the webkinz that got away, or a webkinz you've always wanted but could never find it being sold near you as a kid, or a particular webkinz your parents told you that they wouldn't buy for price or any particular reason?

#webkinz #is there a webkinz fandom/community here in tumblr?#Stuffed animals #plushies #mine is a Webkinz Signature Endangered Dama Gazelle #I once brought her with a couple of my other animal plushies to a middle school biology project to explain predator/prey ecosystem #and I left her in my bio class (cause it was part of the project) and someone stole her #kinda found out who it was but they never brought it back despite me confronting them #but I also found out he stole my webkinz so he could give her as a gift to his girlfriend #which I backed off cause maybe im strange but a part of me hoped that she loved that gazelle as much as I did #that and i'm not really one to hold a grudge #although the idea one of my own classmates stealing from me did hurt #so currently at the moment I've been trying to find this particular gazelle at a good price

Bro, we need more Dalex and Darkrai moments, like, YESTERDAY

In which the runaway god receives his very first gift.

~~~

"Kurai! I'm back!"

The excited voice and hurried footsteps made Darkrai turn his head away from the clouds he'd been watching for the last few hours. The little human, who called himself Dalex, was running up to him with an unusual glint in his eyes. A strange rattling could be heard, though the god couldn't tell how the boy was making such a sound.

Sitting up with a stretch, Darkrai acknowledged Dalex with a nod and leaned back against their 'special' tree. "So you are. How was 'camp' today, little human?"

"It was good! We learned about bug Pokémon today! The other kids were too scared to hold this really big Wurmple, but I wasn't!" Dalex puffed out his chest in pride, making his eldritch companion chuckle.

"Very brave of you, little human. Bugs are a common fear amongst mortals, from what I have gathered. Though, such a fear is not without reason."

"'Cause, uh..." Dalex kicked his foot as he tried to remember the camp counselor's words, "'Cause Wurmple knows Poison Sting, right?"

"That's one reason, yes."

Dalex hummed, then shrugged, "But that Wurmple wasn't scary! She was really nice! She let me pet her and walk around with her and even sat on my head for a while!" The boy giggled to himself and bounced in place, the rattling sound hitting Darkrai's ears once more.

Now the god's curiosity was piqued. "What was that?"

The boy stopped, the noise stopping along with him. He titlted his head, "Huh?"

"That sound. Were you collecting river rocks again, little human?" Mortals and their urge to collect shiny things... Darkrai doubted he would ever understand the appeal.

Dalex gasped, eyes widening. "Oh, right! I almost forgot!" The boy suddenly grinned, reaching into his pocket. "I have a surprise for you!"

Darkrai raised a brow. "A... surprise? What do you mean, little human?"

"I made you something! Hold out your hand!"

Darkrai blinked, unsure if he should humor the boy or not. Whatever it was, it rattled, was made by the child, and was most likely small enough to fit in his claws. He tried to create a mental list of what the 'surprise' could be, but said list was left empty.

...Well, if the little human made it, then surely it was harmless, right?

"...Alright, little human. Let's see this 'surprise.'" He held out a claw, which Dalex steadied with his free hand.

"Oh, and close your eyes real quick!"

What. "What."

"Please?" Dalex's eyes were pleading, with a small hint of nervousness. Was he afraid that Darkrai wouldn't like this 'surprise'...?

"...Alright." Darkrai sighed, closing his eyes.

He could hear the rattling once more, and felt a number of small, round objects wrap around his fingers. The things were pushed down to his wrist, briefly tugged upward as if testing for something, then let go.

What was...?

"Okay, open 'em!"

Beads.

A set of shiny, purple beads, strung together into a bracelet. The beads reminded him of gems, but the lack of any detectable essence made it clear to the god that they either lost their power long ago or, more likely, were fakes.

Regardless of the answer, seeing them filled Darkrai's chest with... something. He wasn't sure what it was. He was so stunned by the feeling, he couldn't look away from them if he tried.

"You... You made this for me, little human...?"

Dalex nodded, "Uh-huh! The grownups taught us how to make 'em!"

"I see... And what purpose do these beads serve?"

The boy giggled, "It's a friendship bracelet, Kurai! I wanted to make you one 'cause you're my friend! I got the prettiest beads I could!"

Friend. The word left the god speechless.

It was an absurd thought, really. The child had no idea what Darkrai was truly capable of, the terror he could and would always wreak on mortals at their most vulnerable, whether he wanted to or not. It was this fact that made Darkrai insist that Dalex never take a nap in his presence, lest the innocent child suffer.

By every stretch of the imagination, Dalex shouldn't have taken such a liking to the god, let alone offer him a gift.

And yet... he did anyway.

Darkrai recalled the Wurmple Dalex mentioned a few minutes ago. Unlike with Darkrai, the boy knew that the bug could've poisoned him at any moment, yet was still the only one amongst the children willing to reach out to the creature. He found the experience enjoyable, even, which was saying something given that humans his age were often terrified of such things. They were often terrified of a lot of things.

If... If he knew what Darkrai truly was... would he still...?

"D'ya like it, Kurai?"

Kurai nearly jumped, but managed to gather himself at the last minute. He looked up from the bracelet to Dalex, hoping his lack of a mouth didn't keep the boy from seeing his smile.

"It's... lovely, little human. Thank you."

~~~

Key Item — Friendship Bracelet A bracelet made of shiny purple beads, symbolizing the friendship between you and your little human. It's the first gift you've ever received, and you vow to take care of it.

...Okay, I confess, from the moment I decided that Dal would mistakenly call Darkrai "Kurai," I knew, I knew that eventually I'd start calling the damn guy "Lord Kurai." Kinda like how the Nobles in Legends are called "Lord" or "Lady," basically.

Don't be surprised if I start doing that the next time we see him =w=

#pokemon #pokémon #Darkrai #Trainer!Dalex #Dalex Rathmore #i'll admit I've had this idea in my head for a couple weeks-#but with UT at the front of my mind I never got around to drawing it. UNTIL NOW THAT IS-#the bracelet is actually inspired by one I have irl #it was a b-day gift from my aunt... that I accidentally broke some time after getting it :'D #but i was able to gather up all the beads and restring it :D #in all honesty i wasn't sure if I could make Kurai's bracelet any other color #since it's purple he can look at it and think of his little human friend while he travels the world! ^w^#axewchaoscribbles #axewchao answers #something-old-something-new

I keep imagining Lummis and Petunia in different outfits but never Flower, they always stay in their black pants and white shirt getup unless for special occasions, and I think the funniest possible explanation to this is if they have like 20 pairs of identical pants and shirts

Which makes sense if they're the Pure Vessel. Just throw something comfortable and practical but still okay-looking by noble standards on them when not on duty and sew a shitton of these bad boys for them, it's not like they have an opinion or preference or even need to be fashionable. Basic stuff will do.

The side effect of this is the fact post-reveal they still wear the same goddamn thing 7 days a week

And also they're autistic/neurodivegent in general. Having a duplicate or two (or 20) of their favourite comfy outfit is handy, and finding new clothes that don't have Bad Texture or annoying tags is a chore and a half.

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #lummis and petunia (and their other friends) didnt question it much. they did think its a little weird at first but they didnt see them #every day anyway and just figured oh this guy must be neurodivergent #the idea that their mother played dressup with them and they have a shitton of outfits from that stoll presists. post-reveal they return to #their room one day and theyre all there on their bed and desk. they're not sure if its a gift from their mother or if she just wanted to #get rid of anything that reminded her of them. but they'll take it.#however theyre all mostly very fancy outfits so the couple that dont have Bad Texture they save for special occassions and official events.#they have a couple outfits made by Hornet and Herrah but again these are usually saved for special occassions. they don't want to get them #dirty while fucking around with their boyfriends and friends. and Ghost. they do have a few casual outfits from them but they still mostly #wear their good ol' white shirt and black pants combo. Hornet is tempted to replicate their style perfectly but in different colours #because Holy Shit Dude wear something different than black and white for once #now that i think about it i did give them The Exact Same Shirt But Purple for an alternate ref so you know what? canon #it was bc I was doing an art trade with 3 other friends and they all picked purple bitches so i went oh I need to fit in

Headcanon that the Dragonlords are like dragons and are naturally nomadic amd return to their "nests" only sporadically, and their whole aesthetic is something between a Hobbit and a Dwarf:

Which is even funnier because imagine this snotty, preppy-ass, Gucci-down-to-the-boots rich bitch seeing a grungy, snarky, hedge-witch-meets-feral-goblin twink wearing more layers than a Winchester and immediately going, "Well, that's husband material right there."

all i am hearing is that merlin is the lovechild of bilbo and thorin

#WHICH HE IS #ya got the snark and expressive face (bilbo) then the steadfast loyalty and showing their love through gifts (thorin)#i'm so sorry that that's where my brain went but i hope it pleases you #but i'm also not sorry because i laughed for like 5 minutes #but yes i def agree with that headcanon #each dragon has had a dragonlord and there is a designated spot for the dragonlord at the nest/cave that the 2 share #but like i feel like this rich snob (arthur) is well within his rights to be enamored by the feral hedge goblin twink #maybe morgana gets a couple laughs out of it because she just knows uther will have a stroke if arthur declared that this scrungy #string bean covered in leaves and soot was his future consort #lmao #bbc merlin #merthur #headcanons #merlin emyrs #arthur pendragon #also now i'm getting a crossover idea for lotr and bbc merlin and this only bc of that lovechild comment #bilbo and hunith would be besties and you can't argue with me on that

Steel Christmas

Gift for @vexic929 (Merry Christmas!) Characters: Berrie Thawne (Vexic's OC), Quinn (my OC) Word Count: 1.4k Content Warnings: gen fic, mentions of piercings and needles, swearing, absolute batshit assortments of pronouns

____

"Your dad's gonna kill me for this..." Quinn drawled, lifting one hand off her crutch to push open the door. She winced as she did it - it was solid wood, too heavy for the light shove she gave it, and they winced at the twinge in their back. Berrie noticed and darted ahead, ducking under Quinn's arm to push the door open. They shot him a brief, grateful glance.

"What, for letting me have a needle jabbed into my face?" Berrie fired back, bouncing eagerly on her toes at the thought, "I've been through worse. And weirder."

"Yeah, but being the adult that condones you getting a needle jabbed into your face..." Quinn pointed out, once again shouldering her crutches and working her way into the piercing shop.

"Ooh, they do tattoos too! Maybe I should get a tattoo instead..."

Quinn scoffed.

"Absolutely not. Then your father might actually kill me." they muttered, recognizing the note of truth in the words. Berrie's father - or... pseudo-father, or however the hell that worked - was about the scariest person she'd ever met, and that was a tough bar to reach. Quinn glanced at the artwork along the walls, then back down at Berrie. "Have your friend do a stick 'n poke on you if you want one so bad. That's how I got my first ones."

"So you're fine with me getting a tattoo, but not if you have to pay for it?"

"I don't care what the hell you do with your body unless I have to be responsible for it." Quinn said, "I'm not signing off on a fifteen-year-old's tattoo. Especially when said fifteen-year-old's father could literally pull my heart out of my chest if he wanted to."

"But you'll sign off on a fifteen-year-old's new piercing."

"Sure. Pick your poison," she replied, waving a hand towards the diagrams pasted up on the far wall, "Anything outside the bikini zone."

"What if I want to get a belly button piercing?"

"Fine."

"What if I want to get shark bites?"

"I pity your dentist, but fine."

"What if I want to get a smiley?"

"I said bikini zone, not scuba zone," Quinn asked, sarcasm dripping like oil off the words, "I was thinking more like a helix or something, but if you really want a needle jabbed into your gums, go right ahead."

"Hm... the daith looks cool." Berrie decided, continuing to shift on her feet, "But eyebrow piercings look cool too."

They glanced over at Quinn, surveying her own array of piercings. She seemed to have half the chart in her ears, not to mention their nose ring and double-set of eyebrow piercings in their right brow. When she caught Berrie's eyes on her, she lifted that same eyebrow, and Berrie watched that silver barbell creep along with it in fascination.

"How bad did they hurt?"

"Ah, I'm a terrible metric for pain, kid." Quinn muttered, leaning back a little on their crutches, "Compared to the shit I've got going on, my tattoos might as well've been licked on by kittens. N' piercings are even easier."

"Hm. I know how that feels."

"Do you?"

Berrie nodded.

"Well, hallelujah," Quinn scoffed with the same biting sarcasm, "The youth of the nation, everyone. Fuckin' healthcare, I swear."

"I don't think I count as 'the youth of the nation'," Berrie pointed out, grinning up at the older person. He liked Quinn. She was fun. More fun than most of the adults they found themself around. "Technically I was made in a lab."

"And I fell off a goddamn Ukrainian high-rise," she shot back without missing a beat, "Story doesn't matter. They'll treat us like shit either way."

"Hm."

"So, daith or eyebrow?" Quinn asked, tilting their head back to the diagrams in the back of the studio, "Or both?"

"Both?"

"Sure, why not?"

Without another moment of hesitation, they tapped the call bell on the front desk and watched as a heavily-tattooed artist hustled out from the back of the shop. He approached the desk, offering the two of them a brief nod in greeting.

"Hey, folks, what are we looking for today?"

"A daith and an eyebrow for the kid," Quinn said, faintly nudging Berrie with her elbow, "And, uh... what's the heal time look like for a labret?"

"Six months, give or take," the artist responded, "And you can't smoke while it's healing."

"Damn." she muttered, "Ah, well, probably past time I quit anyway. I'll get the labret."

"You got ID, kid?" he said, turning to Berrie. Quinn waved a hand.

"Ah, she still needs to test for 'er drivers license. I've got it. I'm his aunt." she said, pulling out her wallet and presenting the man with an ID. Berrie couldn't tell if it was a real ID or not - it looked real, but they remembered Quinn saying she was legally dead once or twice, so it was more than likely a fake. If so, it was an awfully good fake.

The artist pored over it for a few moments, his eyes flicking from Quinn to Berrie to the ID in quick succession. He finally nodded, but fixed Berrie with a hard look.

"Do your parents know about this?"

"Of course they do," Berrie lied, "My dad was just too busy to take me himself. And he thought that Qui- uh, Aunt Q, would know better about where to go, since she's already got a bunch of piercings."

"Hm. Alright." he agreed, his dark eyes flicking back to Quinn, "Ten quid surcharge for minors. And you'll have to sign a liability form."

"That's fine." Quinn agreed, fishing through their wallet for a cluster of bills. She glanced down at Berrie for a moment, "Merry Christmas, kid."

"Thanks. You too."

Quinn scrawled their signature on a series of release forms - one for herself, one for Berrie - flipping the pen dexterously between their fingers as the artist looked them over.

"Says here you got no medical conditions," he said, firing a not-quite-subtle glance down Quinn's crutches and brace. She lifted her eyebrows disdainfully at him.

"Nothing that's gonna cause a problem with stickin' a needle in my lip."

The artist huffed, not exactly believing them, but finally scooped up the waivers and waved a hand towards the other end of the studio.

"Come on back, then. Who wants to go first?"

"Me!" Berrie blurted, before Quinn could get a single word out.

"Hm. Brave kid."

It wasn't Berrie's first piercing. Neither was it Quinn's. And so the whole process went by shockingly fast - iodine to needle to jewelry before they knew it - and neither of them so much as winced. Soon they were back on the street, making their way back to Quinn's car and the wrath of Eobard that surely awaited them.

"What'dya think?" Quinn asked, "Looks pretty badass to me."

"Oh, totally!" Berrie agreed, resisting the urge to touch the new studs. They still ached a bit, and he had to fight hard not to aggravate his eyebrow piercing by pulling too many facial expressions, but she was sure she'd just doubled- no, tripled - their level of badassery.

"My boyfriend's gonna be so pissed," Quinn mumbled, sounding a little amused at the thought. They ran their tongue gently along their bottom lip, causing the new metal barbell in their lip to wiggle.

"He doesn't like your piercings?"

"Fuck no," she laughed, tossing her head, "He loves my piercings. But he's gonna be bloody annoyed that he can't kiss me for six months."

"There are other places to kiss..." Berrie mumbled, not realizing Quinn had heard her until their eyebrows jumped up their forehead.

"Damn, kid! Hope you don't talk like that in front of your father," she chuckled, "Actually, you know what, I kinda do. That'd be a sight."

The car was parked at the side of the street, but Quinn brushed right past it and down the sidewalk. Berrie paused for a moment, vaguely confused, then jogged to catch up.

"Where are you going? The car's back there."

"Well, you're gonna want some jewelry for those new piercings, aren't you?" Quinn replied, pausing to look over at him, "How do you feel about emeralds?"

#i know i said it might take me a couple days but i had the idea and i wanted to make sure it wasn't too terribly long of a piece #my friends!!!#gift fic #my ocs #oc quinn/aces #vexic ocs #berrie thawne #oneshot #gen fic #my writing
