I need a rabbot confession that just slips out - in a very simple mundane moment.
It's an unspoken thing between them that Jack shows up after his shift if Robby has the next day off. They'll eat breakfast together and then Robby will plant his ass on his couch for hours while Jack takes the guest room to sleep. They both relax better with the other around - even if they are in different rooms. Something about knowing they're sharing their time and space. Existing together.
When Jack eventually shows up in the living room, he's in a washed out band tee from a concert they caught together decades ago and a dark pair of sweatpants. His curls are messy, sticking in every direction. His eyes are still heavy with sleep, one of his biceps has lines and imprints from sheets and to Robby's delight Jack's cheek has the same lines from the pillow. Jack must have slept like a baby.
Robby does realise Jack is talking to him. Voice still deep and gravely, he catches something about "trash tv" so he guesses Jack is complaining about the show he's watching but Robby isn’t listening. His chest is so warm and he's so happy to watch the early afternoon sun hitting Jack's sleepy features.
"I love you."
Robby says it in the middle of Jack's sentence. He didn't mean to say it out loud. He thinks it a lot. It's a quiet ever present thing in the back of Robby's mind. He's known for a long, long time.
It shuts Jack up. He's looking at him like he thinks he must have misheard. This would be Robby's chance to think of an excuse. His Chance to make it looks like he genuinely misheard him.

I am currently planning a college flashback chapter that shows Mira and Rumi’s changing relationship over the first two years of college. [Edit: The chapter will be in Rumi’s POV only, so if it’s anything Mira specific, it will only be seen through Rumi’s interpretation]
I have key scenes planned that I think you will enjoy seeing. However I want to open a few decisions up to you all regarding this chapter.
First: Is there anything in particular you’d like to see? (You will see their brief rivalry, how that changed to friendship and then became something neither speak about. Also throughout the fic thus far, Mira and Rumi have briefly mentioned small things that happened at college which will be shown here) But i’d like to hear any ideas or wants you might have to be explored/shown
Second: There’s a halloween scene planned. What costume do you think Rumi would wear and what do you think Jinu would wear? Mira won’t be in a halloween costume, for reasons that will be shown.
[EDIT: Rumi and Jinu aren’t together at all in Freshmen or Sophomore year, so their halloween costumes won’t be couple ones. Jinu is flirting heavily with Rumi though whenever he is planned to appear in the chapter, much to Mira’s annoyance]
You can either comment on this post with your ideas, or DM me privately.
After Qui-Gon repudiates his first Padawan too after Xanatos' Fall, Feemor indulges in a bit too much alcohol and as you know, driving or flying while drunk is bad. Especially if you're a jedi. It tends to make one uninhibited and therefore more prone to do Stupid Shit™ in the name of the Force.
One thing leads to another and Feemor's ship crashes on Korda VI, destroying the ion cannons Montross intended to use for his betrayal.
Later, mandalorians find an unconscious jedi in the cockpit of the ship, with a lot of Correlian armagnac in his blood.

while I work on some other WIPs, may I pose a question to you lovely humans - I have thoughts but I would like to see what you all would want to read ?
on a Wednesday, too! I'm on fire! (read: I totally wanted to post a WIP Wednesday on Monday, convinced it's Wednesday and I'm already late. I'm once again asking, what year is it?)
Thank you for all the lovely tags, I'm not sure anymore who tagged me in what (as you can see, I have no memory, making it very clear with this intro), but you guys keep returning to me, so yolo, tagging you ALL back 🤺@perpetualmaladaptivedaydream @thepalelawyer @optimisticgrey @litsenn
This will be a rough WIP, but one I feel like I need to do to kick myself in the ass and finally start writing this magnum opus. Originally, I wanted to post a snippet that will likely become part of chapter 2 or 3, depending on how long I make the introduction. The snippet is heavily inspired by this picture I took of a younger Tavanna fighting off thugs in Baldur’s Gate after being attacked and ridiculed for her tiefling features.
But after writing out this outline, I think this post is already long enough, so you’ll have to wait for the snippet — probably until later this week. 🔥
For a long time, I wasn’t sure whether I actually wanted to write Tavanna’s story, even just for myself, let alone publish it. But while I was writing my summery Bloodweave fic, I decided that I would at least give it a try. So far, I have two chapters written. Sort of. Kind of. Ehhhh. I hope.
All of this has existed in my head for so long, though, and I’ve written so many scattered bits and pieces that I think I might actually manage to put it all together. hopefully before I burn out and start hating them
I originally made this meme just for funsies, but, tbh, it does kind of work as a poster for what I’m about to write, so here ya go. 😁
Before I start, it's important to note that I'll be retelling the events of BG3 act by act, but changing quite a few things to fit my headcanon. I won't really be changing the characters themselves or, for the most part, their ultimate destinies — mostly just the pacing and certain details of the romance. Namely, Gale's stargazing scene in act 2 will be rewritten and won't serve as the shift into romance (that comes a little later for these two).
For you see, I'm a slow-burn whore 😅 Some people complain that you can't have a romance scene with Gale in act 1 like you can with Astarion or Lae'zel, etc, but not me! I decided that they won't even kiss until early act 3, because I'm a demon and I like to suffer.
So far, this is my initial outline. It follows the events of the game chronologically but will be interwoven with plenty of flashbacks, allowing you to actually understand who the main character is and what motivates her. That’s one of my main driving questions: what do we really know about Tav?
Obviously, these will be spoilers for the fic, so if you want to read it blind, stop reading now. Go on, git.
Act I
First long rest and Tavanna's trust issues. Who in the Hells is this other wizard, and why does he think he's better than me 😁 a recurring theme (Go to Hell)
Entering the grove and reminiscing about the racism Tavanna has faced as a tiefling throughout her life + (Sazza, Tara mentioned, Shadowdark ale for everyone!)
Bite night
The goblin camp — and, oh no, becoming attached to the companions. (How many trust issues fit into one small and angry tiefling?) + a flashback to the creation of Tavanna's armor and her relationship with Jonathan, an artificer from her native Candlekeep
Gale attracting mosquitoes with a conjured image of Mystra's head — dare I say, the main conflict. Tavanna is seized by an unbidden vision of the two of them together, which she accidentally shares with him through the tadpole link, but Gale's reaction drives a wedge between them.
The tiefling party and lots of yearning
Act II
Brooding and even more yearning, the githyanki crèche, mounting frustration
Meeting Elminster and learning about Gale's suicide plan
A detour into the Underdark + bonding with Astarion and Karlach, who seem to have taken a liking to each other
The Shadow-Cursed Lands and general misery: losing hope but still kicking, plenty of miscommunication and — you guessed it — more yearning + The Shadow Weave incident
The Myrkul fight and refusing to let Gale blow himself up; strong words are exchanged, and even stronger emotions stirred
~~ intermission with a series of events that never happened in the game ~~
Starting with: the sirine incident. (Gale is bewitched by a sirine — a fey that enthralls him and takes Tavanna's shape to lure him in.)
Deciding to rest at an inn on the way to Baldur's Gate. More frustration and miscommunication, but also a night to remember — and last chance to unwind before things become even more complicated
Act III
Oh no, there was only one bed! They finally talk about their feelings! Unbelievable.
The beginning of their actual romance, navigating feelings that have been suppressed and left unspoken for far too long. Alongside flashbacks to Tavanna's past relationships and assault.
Entering the city, meeting Gortash, being threatened by Orin — and, oh look, a circus
Every night, it's fucking something. What is it this time? Oh, it's Tavanna's father ??? Who also happens to be an evil god? Who could have foreseen that — Tavanna's reverie and recollections of her life and heritage
Sorcerous Sundries, Karsus and The Crown. Cazador and more parallels.
Fighting everyone and everything, closing in on the final Netherstone — but not before one last invasion of Tavanna's dreams. She is promised to wield unfathomable, godlike power of storms, along with never feeling pain again. What's the catch? I'm not telling you now, duh. Read the fic 😜
Epilogue
I’d be more than happy to hear your thoughts, especially if they help me brainstorm which details to focus on and which ones to skip. The numbers here don’t necessarily correspond to individual chapters. Some sections may be merged, while others might be split into several chapters depending on their length, and I won’t be trying to make every chapter equally long.
I won’t go into extensive detail about the other companions’ relationships, but Hellspawn and Shadowzel will be the other two pairings.
The story will be rated Explicit for depictions of violence, references to past assault, and — well, once we finally get there — some sex scenes too, I hope. 😅
Well. Now that it's out there, I just have to get it out of my head and onto AO3, and we're golden.
