a) there's a scene in Frevin Car Mechanic which has them on an airplane (which has been written about since before they started doing all that)

b) that I've been planning to name each chapter after a fitting KAJ song (very creative i know) and now they're doing all this, I love them frfr.

I just know this chapter will match the vibe of this song (I'll report back once it's out✨)

Not anything plot details stuff or anything (you might have guessed from the name it has the ship Frevin and has something to do with Car Mechanics, which is true.)

But what it does is making me want to talk about KAJ's friendship. Because in the fic love and friendship as concepts play big roles, like a very big role, emphasis on the friendship. The platonic!KAJ tag will be second after the slash Frevin one..

I've wanted to write about their friendship for some time but somehow I always made them kiss, at least implied something. The option of those three men kissing each other is sending things through my body, like hello, yes.

So all attempt at friendship only failed. Well, except for this one. (It seems to be easier when I get Vörjeans involved instead like in the one Keväänin school fic I wrote which has a non Gen friendly title, hence why I don't mention it here.)

And let me tell you how in love I am with their friendship. The fic is as canon compliant as a Vörkaj fic can be (or at least doesn't disagree with canon stuff (yet)) and set during the sauna tour, aka at a peak of KAJ's busy success stuff. (Eurovision aside of course.)

It's just.. the trust and fondness they have of each other. The care.

We have the bickering of course, lots of teasing, lots of grins, jokes and smiles. Eyebrow raises, giggling. The three know each other like no one else does.

And it's a pleasure to write about. To write their dynamic, supporting smiles, a hand on each other's shoulders, hugs, and everything and know they're friends.

KAJ being friends and not just a band who then became friends might be one of my favourite aspect about them. Like outside of fanfiction. I am not a music nor musician person but they caught me and won't let me go. It's the way they are actually friends. Like, in real life.

Finally having the perfect basis to talk and write about it, is like heaven. There's many aspects about the fic I could probably rant about for days but right now it's the platonic Kaj.

Like PolyKAJ stays the best ship of the fandom, don't get me wrong, it's the best by miles and I have gotten more fic ideas recently but with Frevin Car Mechanic I have finally a space to explore this beyond it.

They're giving each other support, they're healthy, they're as close to each other as friends can be, best friends.

Whenever there's a scene set with all six Vörkaj guys and I get to refer to Axel and Jakob as Kevin's best friend it makes me kick my feet and smile as much as anything else could. Or when one of them kinda lies and the others know that there's more and try to pressure about the truth, knowing all the right buttons and when to stop asking to not make each other uncomfortable. When they respect each and treat each other like soulmates like they're one part of something big.

And all this without any expectations. Romantic relationships always have these things, this frame (I am on the aromantic spectrum btw so that's my perspective here as additional information). Of course it shouldn't and people romantically in love should do what they want to but there's the basis of moving together, getting married, eventually having children, having sex. With friendship there's "rules" or a frame too but it's far less refined.

I am friends with people I've never met and haven't talked to in a week and that's great. With romantic relationships this would be kind of unthinkable (which, fair).

And they, KAJ, they can have a friendship however it suits them. In the fic they keep telling each other "you know I love you" and it's mainly because I can't stop. I get overwhelmed by how much they love each other. How important they are for each other. Glances don't mean something more, no "secret intention" it's this raw love and affection that connects them. That they're so aware of, that they treasure so much.

It's making my blood boil and my skin crawl they love each other. They fucking do. And it's perfect.

The fic brings out some issues for them and also challenges aspect of their friendship, I am not there yet in writing (not really at least) but I am so excited for it because they will be even better friends afterwards.

It just makes me insane to see the way Kevin is falling into Axel's arms. And Axel sees this man falling towards him, taking a side step to catch him an it's a literal catching.

The moment of impact, you can clearly see it. He threw himself on him with a bit of force, Axel's shaking. He's literally falling into his arms. They have just won this prize and are all hugging each other and it makes me emotional to think about all Kevin wanting is to fall into (both) his best friends arms.

The way Axel's right arm is straight for a moment, he has to really reach up to get it over Kevin's shoulder and it looks like he doesn't find the right angle at first. I wonder if he went on his tip toes for that hug. Maybe he does look a tiny bit taller before the impact than before Kevin gets to him. So Axel is definitely reaching up. Also that slight bit of hesitance at putting his hand on Kevin's waist.

But he did put his hand on Kevin's waist. Axel's hand has been on Kevin's waist, where it belongs... Sigh.

It's the way Axel's left arm and Kevin's right arm fit so perfectly together like this in length and angle, they look so parallel.

And if we talk about Axel reaching up we definitely have to also talk about Kevin reaching down. I mean he is literally falling, throwing himself against Axel. You could almost call it a stumbling forward. Short steps and not even taking the last because he is sure Axel will catch him and if he falls he is at the right height anyways. I could easily see them hugging like this normally, for an extended period of time. The way their heads and arms and bodies are sorted. Just staying like this for a moment to make the world scream a little less and inhale each other's scents. Kevin would put his head properly down on Axel's shoulder.

And Axel's smile? Of course, they just won. They finally won. It's not that easy to see with the bad quality of the gif but he is so happy. He is so happy with the situation. Has to deal with Kev's energy against him. And he is so happy to catch his best friend like that. Hug him and have him close for the moment just between those two (the third guy already got his hugs after all, I love you Jakob).

Also the way Kevin's hand quickly grabs Axel's shoulder, I just noticed... It almost snaps close around it. Forcing Axel's right side back so the left snaps forwards where his hand is already waiting to catch him back. Forcing impact on one, welcoming him on the other..

Axel doesn't even turn beforehand he lets Kevin push him into the proper position.

For once Axel knows the choreography. It's the one they usually do when no one is watching, I guess that's what makes it easier...

The way he is falling into his arms...

I liked Bulgaria a lot so I am double glad they won.

Very glad I wasn't attached to the Finnish entry (Takkatukka you will always be famous to me).

I feel bad for laughing about Sweden having that bad of a result because of Felicia but it's funny to me and SVT must have a mental breakdown (I cope with those votes by making fun of Sweden...)
