Simon Snow, I Choose You

He's the greatest mage, hes the chosen one. He can't seem to cast a spell half the time. But also spells just happen without words sometimes.

He's got a natural affinity for magick, but he always feels behind in how the magickal world works

He tries his best and still fails in what should be easy.

He literally explodes with magick when upset. His feelings being too much for his mind and body and exploding outward.

his mentor expects the world. He has no idea how to achive that expectation.

surely this makes sense to at least one other person.

I lost a bet. Penny looked me dead in the eyes, “I’ll bet that you can’t go this whole match without making one comment about him.”

I laughed and her smile grew, “What do you want to bet?”

“If you win I’ll buy everyone a pint,” she yelled and a chorus of cheers erupted from the back of the bar. “If I win,” she said as she leaned down, “you have to wear a Pitch jersey to Agatha’s party on Friday.”

I rolled my eyes and shoved my hand into hers.

It was a SnowBaz kid fic. I think it was called "Drops of Jupiter" after the Train song. The title may have been different but the song was definitely featured in the work. Simon and Baz never got together in school. Simon is raising his daughter on his own. The mother was either Agatha or an original character. She either died or ran away. I don't remember how much of a canon-divergent au it was. I think magic still existed as there was a scene that used the lyrics of the song as a spell.

Plot-wise, Baz is a pre-school/kindergarten/early edu teacher. He teaches Simon's daughter. She ends up bringing them together. I'm pretty sure Simon was a baker and had a new bakery he was trying to run. Penny was there, she might have had a kid too, but probably not.

I think there was a scene where Simon and Baz went on a date and the daughter was left with someone, maybe Lady Salisbury? I also feel like there might have been a burglary that Simon and Baz walked in on after the date?

There was also a scene where the lyrics to Drops of Jupiter was a spell. I think it was similar to the twinkle twinkle little star scene, but it also might have just put pretty decorations in the daughter's hair.
