#coconut-cluster

So, I’ve recently become very invested in @coconut-cluster ‘s uni au because it’s fabulous and amazing, and I’m also trying to get into the habit of writing on a daily basis, so I thought why not take something I really enjoy and try to write about it? (based off this ask)

“Remus- dammit, hands off! No no no, don’t play that! It’s the wrong vibe!”

Janus watches in amusement as he sees Remus push himself forward again, reaching for the phone just out of grasp in Roman’s hand. He tries to preserve at least a little dignity when he ducks Remus’ flailing arms once Roman pushes him back yet again with a palm to the face.

“What’s the wrong vibe, Rome-bro? We’re celebrating!” Remus exclaims.

“Any song with the word ‘boner’ in it isn’t an appropriate mood.” Roman says firmly, shooting a look at Patton from the passenger’s seat. Patton looks like he is trying his best to stay focused on the road despite the chaos occurring in the minivan.

“You ruin all the fun. Isn’t that right, Virgil?” Remus crows, draping himself over the back of his seat to stare at Virgil- who was currently taking up the entire back row.

“Bold of you to assume this is fun,” came the dry response. Janus snorted, covering his face with his hand in an attempt to compose himself. As with any plan put together by these five, it was bound to be a disaster- well, not exactly a disaster, but the widely varying opinions between them usually allowed for making any normal outing completely chaotic and out of hand. Especially when Remus and Patton put their heads together.

“Oh come on, Virgil, don’t act like that!” Patton said in a cheerful chirp, turning into the parking garage of his and Logan’s apartment complex. After surprising Logan with their attendance, they all agreed to go out and celebrate after the successful competition. Logan, who had driven there in his own car, went back to Patton and his shared apartment, with Patton tailing close behind.

They all crowd through the doorway into the small apartment, cheers and congratulations bestowed on Logan, who seemed to be in his room. Janus walks in behind Virgil, watching in amusement as Roman tries to find a rhyme for ‘archery’. He supposes, out of all of his arch-rival’s mediocre talents, archery was one that he was… well. He wasn’t terrible.

Janus scoped the room, taking in everyone’s chatter when his eyes landed on Logan. In his room. Changing. Logan, in his room, changing. Changing out of his (snug, tight-fitting, sexy) hideous archery uniform and back into his regular clothes. 

Janus found himself moving forward into the doorway- without willing his feet to step forward. Janus greedily took in the line of Logan’s spine, the movement of his shoulder blades. The muscles shifting beneath his skin. Janus’ left hand twitched as the thought came, unbidden, to rest his palm on the back of Logan’s neck, feeling the movement for himself.

Then Logan finished putting on his shirt and turned around. The spell broke.

“Hello, Jan- uh, Peters,” said Logan, a smile on his face. The glow of victory made him much more amicable. Janus despised it. He had been shirtless. Shirtless. As in without a shirt. 

“Aswbjdbuh,” came Janus’ enlightening reply.

“Pardon?” Logan’s eyes twinkled in amusement as he picked up his glasses from the dresser and put them on, pushing them up into his hair. Soft-looking curls fell into his forehead anyway.

“Uhhhhh…” How witty. You’re an absolute moron. An utter fool  who - he was shirtless! Dear lord, he was… gorgeous. So fucking gorgeous. “I’ll be right back.”

Janus spun on his heel, praying his face wasn’t as red as he feared it might be. Walking at a brisk pace and making sure to look nowhere but the ground underneath his feet in an attempt to prevent himself from seeing any more glimpses of gorgeous people randomly taking their clothes off to specifically fuck with Janus. What he didn’t account for, however, was Roman’s ever-present talent for being an absolute asshole who won’t move out of the damn way.

“Where ya going, Janus?” He smiled, grin so wide he could give the Cheshire Cat a run for its money.

“Car.” Keep it short, keep it simple. If you don’t talk, you won’t accidentally say something mortifying... like how you noticed freckles on Logan’s shoulders. “Forgot something.” He pushed past Roman, prepared for some revealing and/or teasing comment.

“What did you forget? Some weak excuse to hide behind instead of confronting your feelings?”

Janus stumbled down the staircase like a drunk man, trying to keep his feet in a straight line. He was feeling very dizzy, something that probably required medical attention. Maybe he should leave, go see a doctor. In another country. Janus scrambled into the car and sat down, head in his hands.

This was a bad idea. Now left alone without distraction, Janus’ mind decided it didn’t have to stop thinking about Logan now. What would it be like to touch him? Feel his skin beneath your hands? Janus remembered how close they had been in the library, pictured the piercing stare of Logan’s eyes. New scenarios worked themselves out in Janus’ head, now filled with flexing biceps, shoulder blades, and back dimples.

A very, very embarrassing sound left Janus’ mouth when the door slid open with a bang. Virgil was behind it, somehow looking amused and disappointed at the same time.

“Ready to come back? We’re all getting ready to leave.” Virgil said. He stared at Janus like he knew every thought inside his head.

“No, I think I’ll stay here until everyone comes down.”

“Okay. I’ll leave you to your… thoughts.” Virgil began to close the door. “Oh, yeah. Lo asked about you. Wanted to know if you were feeling alright.”

Fanart of @coconut-cluster‘s story Crowns and Cutlasses... though, technically it’s fanart of a post about that story, here. 

Also, the first page of dialogue I made up to try and plausibly ease into the conversation.

I hope this is alright coconut-cluster, I was the anon the other day who asked about fanart.

I also saw you leave a kudo on my story Approaching the Flame and it was an honor coming from you. ^^

Janus Peters from @coconut-cluster‘s loceit uni au! I just,,,love him so much I just had to draw him. Featuring two wildly different art styles from literally less than a week apart!

One of my favorite scenes from @coconut-cluster​‘s recent fics I know (it gets so hard sometimes). It is an absolutely incredible fic that ripped my heart right out of my chest and curb stomped it. I hope I did the scene justice! 

Our next interview was with @coconut-cluster, another fanfic author! 

Q1: How long have you been in the fandom? A: “Just about 2 years!”

Q2: When did you first start posting content for it? A: “Oh, I think I posted a theory and fic RIGHT after the crofter's musical!!! So I think that was maybe like April of 2018?”

Q3: What’s your favorite thing you’ve made for the fandom content-wise? A: “Ohh uhhhhhhh probably my AUIPNW series - it's a little series of "au's I'll probably never write" where I just kinda pitch an au idea without the stress of sticking to it and having to flesh out a whole fic. It's been really fun, and a few other people have started their own, which is super fun to see it adopted with other people's ideas!!”

Q4: What’s your favorite type of content produced by Thomas and his team? (Sanders Sides, Cartoon Therapy, etc) A: “For sure Sanders Sides. I love the characterization and plots and it's just so fun all around”

Q5: What would you want to see most from Thomas and his team? A: “Right now?? Maybe another Q and A for Sanders Sides with Deceit and Remus too!!”

Q6: What’s your favorite Sanders Sides episode? (if you have one) A: “Oooo probably Selfishness vs Selflessness”

Q7: Any predictions for new episodes? A: “I think (and hope so dearly) that we'll be getting a Roman arc and possibly his room in the ‘season finale’!”

Q8: Who’s your favorite side? Least favorite? (If you have either) A: “Favorite is Roman or Deceit, least favorite is probably Remus just cuz I'm not usually comfortable with dirty humor lol”

Q9: What about a favorite ship? Least favorite? (If you have either) A: “Favorite is Prinxiety by a LONG shot, least favorite is probably Patton and Remus? I think the ship name is Intruality”

Q10: What are some of your favorite headcanons? A: “Adhd roman!!! That one's my favorite for sure, but I also love ace-roman/aro-remus!”

Q11: Any favorite fic tropes? A: “Mmm enemies to lovers, if that counts!! Also like rescues, and ships baking together (or general domesticity)”

Q12: Do you prefer fluff or angst? A: “Fluff!! I like angst, but (usually) only when it has happy endings (so basically hurt/comfort), and that usually amounts to fluff as well! I just really like fics that are......somft. Yknow”
