Looks like it’s take your vampire boyfriend to work day at the construction site.
@carryon-countdown Day 9: Staff
This one is for @carryonmylovelies especially who, like me, read that Simon was getting his forklift licence and needed to see it immediately. It just took me a while to do this.

Carry On Countdown 2022 Day 1: The End
I couldn't let him leave without a kiss good-bye. I'd only regret it later.

“I don’t even have to worry about leaving Simon alone this year because Lady Salisbury is going to throw him twenty years’ worth of Christmases. He’s probably going to get a train set and a rocking horse.”
I thought this tidbit from Snow for Christmas was so cute. Simon deserves his own train set. I imagine Lady Ruth spelled it bigger so he could ride it on Christmas morning, then shrunk it down so it could be easily displayed at his flat 🚂

META TIME
Here's what I've been thinking so with the revelation that Baz came into his vampirism at eleven means he and Simon came into their monsterhood together, like both at eleven. Simon blew up that orphanage and Baz drained the family dog and these incidents might have been only weeks apart from each other. So I think when we look back at them as kids the crucible put them together, these two boys who are powerful and scared. And I feel like that recontextualizes some of their "antagonistic" relationship cause it sort of feels like there was an acknowledgement on both of their sides that they could mess with each other without destroying each other. These two absurdly powerful boys could buttheads all they want cause they are the only two strong enough to handle it, both in Simon and Baz POV they say when thinking about how they've gone at each other that they never believed they could ever destroy the other. And thinking of it that way, it makes sense that when Simon says after he lost his magic that we used to be equals, he was on some level, mourning being the one person strong enough to make Baz feel human like Baz did for him. But of course they both learn that there are other, better ways to do that but yeah I just think it's interesting that they went through this uncomfortable change together even if it sucks that they had to go through with it at all.

Snow for Christmas wrecked my whole brain and I haven’t been able to work on my NaNoWriMo since. Instead, I’ve written two cursed fics that should be burned and savored in that order. Such is life.
Thanks for the tags yesterday. I’m working on reblogs but I missed SSS yesterday because I Could Not Handle my life so here are six sentences from a SFC follow-up, under the break for spoilers (???).
We said our goodbyes yesterday.
A sharp, jolting handshake from my father. A lingering hug from Daphne.
An enthusiastic puppy pile from the children.
I’d even gotten a tentative ankle lick from their new dog; it felt like benediction.
All things considered this trip couldn’t have gone better.
So why then do I feel two shades shy of a complete meltdown?
Is this basically autobiographical to encompass everything I felt yesterday leaving House Witches behind? MAYBE. Well, at least until the end.
Tagging @ileadacharmedlife @skeedelvee @bookish-bogwitch @moodandmist and @(siswitch) that’s my version of tagging her even though she’s not on Tumblr lol. Thanks for being amazing and perfect and ugh I don’t even like thinking about it; it makes me too sad and happy. Sappy. Huh. Do you think that’s where that word comes from?
(I’m a mess lol can you tell?)

Day 12: Devour
Christmas dinner brings up some old trauma for Baz.
Length: 311
Warnings: spoilers for Snow for Christmas, animal death
Read on AO3 or below the cut
I had nightmares about it for weeks after I drank father’s dog. Fiona buried it somewhere in the wood. Father never asked questions.
I’d hear the poor thing wailing in my dreams. It was so scared—it knew I was hunting it. I’d watch blood stain it’s brown fur. I’d chase it for what felt like hours through the house, my hunger driving me insane. Sometimes I’d simply call the dog too me, and he came, trusting. I’d look up, after draining him dry and find Mordelia lying there, pale and dead. Or Daphne, Father, Vera. I knew I was evil.
I’d wake up in the night sobbing so hard I couldn’t breathe. No one asked questions about that either.
No one taught me how to hunt. Fiona bought me a knife. Told me no one would miss the animals in the wood, told me I was strong and brave, a Pitch, and not to be afraid going out at night.
I stained so many sweaters that first year. I stopped eating dinner with my family. More unasked, unanswered questions.
It was suffocating keeping a secret everyone already knew. But I couldn’t talk about it. I wanted it to be gone, I wanted so deeply to pretend it wasn’t real. I tried even harder than before to be everything my father and Fiona wanted in all other aspects of life. As if I could make up for being a vampire.
And so we pretended I wasn’t one. For years.
Last night was the happiest I’ve seen my father; I worry it was only because I’ve found a better way to pretend. Maybe it’s a fair trade in his mind: suppressing my vampirism so much no one else has to think about it, in exchange for being allowed to sit next to my boyfriend at Christmas dinner.
Simon would say I’m being uncharitable. Maybe father was happy simply because I can share meals with my family again. I’d like to believe that.

Mine is “I thought they were probably all hunting me.” 😍🤩😍

So pleased #1 is “um WOW!” Simon and whatever that is he’s been keeping in his trousers. The awkward marker shading that launched three thousand words. You should all know I routinely yell at my Simons for being too hot and most of these got some very thorough lectures on the matter 🤣 He is too hot and it’s not healthy. Anyway, it’s so nice to see all these art posts in my top five 🥺 Thank you for all the support this year, my loves, and for being part of this fandom community. Love sharing this space with all of you 🥰❤️😘

Okay, but, Snow for Christmas was a fucking TREAT!
Can we please discuss how precious it was? And how I need MORE after reading it.
I'm dropping spoilers below because I've reread this 5 times while at work today and need to let my emotions out.
Baz and Simon having regular lunches with Fiona? Please give me those dialougues. Gimme a fucking screen play of nothing but their lunches
Simon regularly practicing his sword skills AND distracting Baz? You cannot convince me this isn't a flirting tactic doe Simon. Let me read about Simon seducing Baz via a sword 😏
ALWAYS KISSING GOODBYE? MY HEART CANNOT.
Okay, but I also want more family drama from the Grimms and Pitches. Uncle Cyril? Tell me what this man has done to find himself on the wrong side of Malcom Grimm and Simon Snow. Spill that tea. (I will always map Baz's entire family tree if you let me.)
The sofa is PINK!! Need I say more?
Wing Flap Shirts!! I'm so glad our dragon baby finally has clothes he can wear without needing magic. NOW. Which one of you lovelies is drawing this?
"He reaches up and carefully starts to loosen my tie. He's become very skilled at this over the last few months." 😏😏😏
Baz internally swooning at EVERY thought of Simon being his boyfriend.
Simon being a GOOD boyfriend and immediately being up for another dinner with Baz's family. For Baz. Because he's so GOOD
Baz referring to Lady Salisbury as Simon's grandmother? ADORABLE. Lady Salisbury being cool with Simon and Baz bring "as gay we want. We can be extra gay, as a treat." YES. GIVE THESE BOYS A KIND FAMILY FIGURE WHO ACCEPTS THEM WITH NOTHING BUT LOVE. Please give me more visits with the Salisbury family. I need the wholesomeness.
WHERE CAN I READ ABOUT FIONA AND NICOS WEDDING!?!?!?
"We could be married with children --" "Could we?" PLEASE GIVE THEM A FAMILY
Can I get more fanart of Baz with his siblings. Because they are precious little things. And I need more of Petra and Sophie climbing Baz like he's their personal jungle gym. I need more pre-teen Mordelia spending wholesome time with her brother. I need to see Swithin climbing this fucking Tibetan mastiff. Thank you very much.
Can we please give Rainbow Rowell a massive thanks for giving us a more detailed description of Malcom Grimm finally??
I will foot the entire fucking production crew to have that dinner recreated for the screen. I would sell my soul to a Demon like Shepard if it means I can have a quality holiday special of that dinner. Fucking. Hell. Baz IMMEDIATELY grabbing Simon to ground him. Simon SUPPORTING HIS MAN and holding his hand. SIMON BELIEVING IN BAZ THAT HE'S GOT THIS DINNER IN THE BAG AND JUST SERVING BAZ FOOD. Malcom and Daphne crying and pouring drinks over Baz finally finally finally getting to eat dinner with him. Sophie getting gravy in her hair.
And can we also discuss the fact that this scene proves that these little girls know their big brother is a vampire? And they still adore him? They still climb all over him and practically beg for his attention? That these girls just want to spend time with their brother and aren't afraid in the slightest of him?
FANG BACKSTORY BREAKING MY FUCKING HEART. Baby Baz fucking hiding in the barn. Terrified. And Fiona just fucking supporting her nephew. I 100% cried during this scene.
Edit Add cause I somehow forgot to mention : Simon's fucking obsession with Baz's fangs. Like. Honey. No, his family does not want to watch him drain a deer. That's just you.
"I think I got drunk with Baz's dad at dinner." Had me rolling.
Backtracking. WE HAVE CAREER OPTIONS FOR SIMON. And so help me. I would refuse to talk to this man too if he tried to join the RAF or police force. Like. He really needs to address this hero-savior complex with his fucking therapist. For fucks sake. Stop trying to save people Simon. Just get your fucking fork lift license and RELAX.
Really. Die Hard? Are we shocked?
THE. FOREHEAD. KISS.
End of discussion. (But really. Discuss. Because I am feral right now. And I cannot focus on writing lesson plans in this state.)

SPOLIERS FOR SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS
In my headcannon I'd like to believe that the builders Simon works for are very nice people who are very encouraging to him. I also want to believe that Simon brings treats to work that are from his Gran and the lads and ladies who work on the site look forward to the snacks Simon brings to share. And when they meet Simon's  boyfriend they thought he'd be as chavvy and laddish like the rest of them but he's the fancy Posh intellectual type and they playfully tease Simon about it. But most of all Simon gets the kind of nice nurturing environment and nice bosses who treat him kindly and make him feel good about his accomplishments and gives him positive reinforcement unlike his old boss/bio dad. I think it's just cute to imagine these gruff, hard builders adopting this broken baby bird boy as their own.

ooooooh ok juicy sfc posts happening !! i rly honestly truly love to see it. here's my unasked for two cents, as someone who did find the story really hopeful. im posting this not to like, discourse or disagree or discount what im seeing, but to just maybe offer a different pov for ppl who might be trying to file this story away in a less devastating way.
i, of course, think baz deserves better than what he gets from his family. we all deserve to have families that love us unconditionally, and so many of us DONT have that -- including baz. that hurts !! i also think simon didn't deserve to lose his magic, and penny didn't deserve to take on the sole responsibility for keeping simon safe, and agatha didnt deserve to be shoved into every princess/damsel role ppl cast on her, etc etc. 
what i like so much abt this series is that ppl dont get what they deserve, but theyre still okay. its why i also love the end of awtwb -- simons LICH ER ALL Y crying lol. he got a whole mega-bucket of extra trauma dumped on his plate that he hasnt even started to process. but its still so clear that he's got the support he needs to live a good life alongside this terrible knowledge. the mage fucked him over even more than he knew, but he doesnt have to define himself by these terms anymore -- we've seen his growth in this regard.
bazs main arc in the series is about how he sees himself -- in crudely simple terms, he rly wants to be a Good Guy (you know, not a vampire, straight, a good pitch etc etc) but sees himself as cursed with that impossibility. this continues as his idealized Good Guy self develops over the course of the books into something that actually feels more achievable to him and is less reliant on the shit his family put on him growing up. 
the cool thing about snow for christmas is that -- just like when simon finds out abt the mage at the end of awtwb -- we get to see baz's new sense of self tested. we get to see what he's using to draw the lines of morality. and we get to see that while of course he still cares about what his family thinks, and it still causes him anxiety and trauma and all the shitty things that he doesnt deserve -- he has grown from that place where their value system can make him hate himself.
and moreso on the hope part -- the grimms value, above all, the ability to fit into the roles they think theyre supposed to hold. its bullshit, and they've both caused themselves problems and absolutely are fucking up their children. daphne fully had to be saved by a cult bc of it and shes still not over that mindset -- these ppl need therapy lol. so it's def sick n twisted that they're celebrating baz being able to hide better rather than celebrating who baz is, but is this not the utmost sign of love that they're capable of? baz gets to fit in better -- that's all they've ever wanted for him, whether we agree with that or not. baz seems to recognize the balance of this in the story. he narrates the rest of the dinner with a sort of dry, relieved, disbelieving tone. it’s like hes huffing a laugh, shaking his head, thinking, “did i really used to pin so much of myself on this stuff? how silly.” he is not distressed bc he understands his parents, and he has, again, divorced his sense of self from their expectations. so much so tht he says fuck it and gives simon the lil kissy at the end, because THIS is his new value system: he ALWAYS kisses simon goodbye!
so, is this a step forward for the grimms being more supportive parents? yeah, maybe not. maybe it never gets better than baz hiding his fangs at dinner and everyone doing the bare minimum to accept simon's role in baz’s life. that's not what baz and simon deserve. but it could be enough, because simon and baz have different ways that they measure their happiness by. they have each other and penny and shep and ruth and agatha and niamh and every other person they'll meet in the many, many years ahead of them whose opinions they can choose to make important to them, or reject. i love this for them! the true queer hope story imo. thats what i want for myself and for the people i love. 
to be clear: this story made me sob so hard i scared my cats. (im not rly a crier, they did not know what to do). i had to put it down in the middle because i couldnt see the page. any queer person who has Family Shit is bound to get whammied lol. but! i personally find comfort in the idea that we can coexist with people who are important to us but also very difficult to be around, even if its not totally what we deserve. its a very quiet, somber hope -- but that only makes it feel more real to me.

Six Sentence Sunday
Tumblr media
If anyone tagged me last week, i’m sorry i didn’t get any notifs about them  </3
So instead of working on OHEA this week (like i maybe should have shh) I instead started my new wip for COC!!! for the prompt Mistletoe on Dec 20th~
Here is a sneak peak~
”Babe, are you sure about this?” I ask, looking at him through the mirror, watching as he fixes and settles his hair the way that he wants. I love it when he wears his hair loose, but he only does that around me in our flat. If we are going anywhere, he styles it. This time, he seems to be doing a simple, yet fancy looking bun.
“Of course I’m sure Simon.” He tells me matter-of-factly which doesn’t do much to reassure me. He isn’t meeting my eyes, instead fixed on his own reflection. He is wearing a teal polo-jumper and a well-tailored pair of black jeans. He looks dead sexy.
This fic will be post Snow for Christmas and while this specific post (and several future teases) doesn’t have spoilers, the final posted fic will have spoilers, so there’s that
Tags/future tags, hellos, and well wishes to @erzbethluna @raenestee @tea-brigade @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @yellobb @ionlydrinkhotwater @ic3-que3n @ileadacharmedlife @palimpsessed @artsyunderstudy @asocialpessimist @aristocratic-otter @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @fatalfangirl @facewithoutheart @hushed-chorus @johnwgrey @larkral @carryonsimoncarryonbaz @confused-bi-queer @cutestkilla​ @bookish-bogwitch @basiltonbutliketheherb @messofthejess @moodandmist @martsonmars
