celebrating that cool barista and her normal guy

Hello, and welcome to the summer episode of hatchtefield rarepair week. I am SO pleased to be starting this event back up!!

Below is our prompt list (art created by @dawnicow)! under the cut will be a text version for accessibility.

without further ado…. here are the prompts and rules!!

Each week of the event will have an overarching theme, and 3 mini prompts. You’re free to use any of these as inspiration! You can create as many works as you please! People who create one work for every week will get a special shoutout, and people who create *more* than one work a week will get… an even specialer shoutout i suppose.

any rarepair is allowed given it is legal!

posting on any platform is allowed, just refer back to here

nsfw if allowed IF you yourself are 18+ and the characters are as well. tag nsfw works with #hfrafterdark! tag regular works with #hfrpsummer

that’s it!! enjoy yourselves!!

our official dates have landed on june 15th to june 28th, though due to fairly short notice meaning lack of lots of prep time submissions will be accepted until the end of august <3 im excited to see what everyone makes in this celebration of all sorts of beautiful queer identities!!

song to go with it: 'Spiderweb' by Patient Zero (this song SLAPS and is very zombie-e)

paulkins

emma would never once use a pet name she calls that man paul and that’s it

paul also isn’t huge on nicknames, he might call her ‘em’ or ‘ems’ sometimes, but nothing cutesy 

correction: they may, very sarcastically, call each other babe or baby, but don’t get it twisted-- they’re actively mocking the very concept of the word when they do it

lexthan

they are canonically a babe couple, they have never once said baby, they use babe and babe only

lex absolutely calls ethan ‘e’ and i’ll die on this hill

she also calls him pretty boy in very specific (and probably sexual) circumstances and he’s a goddamn puddle every time and you know i'm correct 

ethan uses a lot of pet names but somehow he makes it work like it’s almost never cringe, he’s hitting lex over the head with sweetheart’s, and waking her up with ciao bella’s, and really fondly sarcastic sunshine’s

they also both use shit like idiot and dumbass as pet names but that seems obvious

barneston

god they use the most parent ass pet names 

honey, sweetheart, baby, dear, pumpkin,,, oh man

they absolutely hit each other with ‘hey gorgeous’ ‘hey handsome’ on the daily

when they were in high school becky probably called him ‘tommy’, and he called her ‘beck’ (he still does that in current day)

they’re probably slightly more reserved with pet names than they were in high school, but they used to be that unbearable ass couple who never used the other person’s name it was only the cutesy nickname version or ‘babybabehoney’

lautski

peter uses ‘steph’ like a pet name, if he tried anything more than that he would be unbearably awkward with it

(and… he does try, he’s called her babe like three times ever, and hits her with a ‘hey good lookin’’ or something else adorably lame, and every time he felt really stupid and steph was fucking soup about it like she’s down so bad for this boy)

the only thing he can manage with any dignity is calling her beautiful occasionally and it’s only when the energy is absolutley 110% correct

steph is cool enough to use babe liberally, but she usually just uses his name, or calls him ‘spankoffski’, y’know, like a cool person

I could decide between two colourings so I just layered them 😭

what if I just [dooms your paulkins]

-Emma would look at leaves falling from the tree in fall while high and cry from the beauty

-Paul had to perform in a play when he was in 2nd grade and he actually liked it but then when he saw cats the musical on DVD with his mom and he hated it.

-Emma and Jane mom had them when she was 21 and 25. Their dad was 27 and 31

-Paul brought Emma flowers for their first anniversary and made sure all her favorite flowers were in it

kai, paul & emma stimboard !!
