#ua crossover

There are two of them when Geralt gets back to the table. Jaskier, of course, and...another bard? The new man can’t be more than three years Jask’s senior and his outfit is ridiculous. His pants, made of a similar material to Geralt’s it looks like, are laced up the sides, from ankle to just under his ass. His shirt has no sleeves and neither does his green, pocket-covered jacket. 

He looks like trouble.

“Who’s this?” Geralt grunts, gesturing vaguely at this new ‘friend’.

“Oh, you were right,” the man beams. His eyes are rimmed with messy kohl and Geralt can see that there are tattoos on the palms of his hands, unreadable at this angle. Perhaps they are runes of some kind. “His voice is sexy when he’s nervous.”

“I told you.” Jaskier looks from the stranger to Geralt, smiling widely the whole time. “Klaus, this is Geralt. Geralt, please meet my friend, Klaus. He’s from a different reality entirely.”

“Hmm.”

“Oh, very scary,” Klaus teases, squinting his eyes like Geralt is a baby cat and not a Witcher. “Only I’ve seen my world end twice. You’re not that scary, pal.”

“Klaus can speak with the dead,” Jaskier grins. It’s a shit-eating one.

“Hmm.”

“Why are there so many phantom horses following you around?”

“Wh-what?” Geralt splutters, spitting half a mouthful of good ale onto the tabletop. 

“There’s a fucking battalion of horses hanging around outside. They’re chilling out with that brown mare; is that your horse?”

“Yeah. Roach.”

“They’re all Roach. Do you only have one horse name!? That’s tragic!”

“It’s practical.”

“Jasky, sweetie, you could do better,” Klaus pouts, patting the back of Jaskier’s hand. Geralt’s chest fills with jealous rage but he tamps it down. Klaus glances back over his shoulder and chuckles, as if he’s just heard a funny joke. Only there’s no one there. “Oh, shit, Ben. You’re totally right. This is no time for meddling in their affairs. I guess we should probably head back.”

Jaskier’s smile never wavers. As if this whole one-way conversation between Klaus and some empty air is normal. That’s not normal. Geralt is three seconds away from drawing his sword when Klaus turns to peck Jaskier on the cheek. “See you around, darling.”

“Do come visit,” Jaskier urges. And then...Klaus is gone. Poof. Like he was never there at all.

“Jaskier.”

“Yes, Geralt, darling?”

“What the fuck?”

“I don’t know, but he seems nice. Maybe he’ll pop by again. Said he’s from somewhere called America and that he attended some prestigious magic school there.”

“Hmm. Warn me next time he’s coming to visit.”

@coffeeislaw [liked] for a starter.

Lucifer had spoken with Sir Reginald Hargreeves a few times, but mostly dealt with Grace, which was always an interesting affair, but she was always pleasant and cordial. He had left a message with Grace and went to a local donut shop, Griddy’s, which was bit run down for his likes, but he only needed to sit and have a bit of coffee. He smiled at the lovely older woman, the name, Agnes, emblazoned on her tag.

thnx baby! sorry this took a bit:

so check is a pretty untrusting person in her adult life

talking to reporters was fun when she was a kid, but decidedly not after she realized what kind of skeletons her family was hiding in their closets

she doesn’t need allison’s horror stories about the paparazzi to be wary

things were bad enough after vanya’s book - cause as a deaf, mute, asian-american chelsea is pretty recognizable

thankfully the book tanked and people stopped harassing her so much

ANYWAY the point being that check is not psyched when mira starts asking questions

and even when klaus explains that mira can see ben, check actually gets more defensive, because she’s clearly got ulterior motives

but klaus and ben are so immediately taken with mira - and check is kind of part of the package - so she doesn’t really have much of a choice

especially when klaus keeps inviting her back to chelsea’s apartment because “what? technically this is also my home and - yes i know I don’t pay bills but you should have thought of that before you gave me this nifty little key”

at the same time, chelsea can relate to mira’s plight of not knowing what to you can do or how to control it or how develop your powers

so while they’re sort of forced together at the start, they really do begin to relate along the way

and it’s very nice to have someone else who can talk to ben (since check can only do so through klaus)

so we’ve talked a lot about these girls:

favorite thing is the tension of understanding between them

being sisters isn’t easy, especially when Gwen spent so much time convincing Check to let her fix her deafness while Check insisted that she wasn’t broken

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a period while Chelsea was in college where they didn’t see each other because of that

but Gwen is still a protective older sister, and she’s always checking in on her other ways, mostly through letters

when Check graduates, Gwen’s one of the few who actually show up (along with Klaus and Diego) and after that they both vow to be better at meeting up

so they fall into a routine of brunches and coffee dates, chatting about their Real Jobs™ and their Real Lives™

sometimes klaus crashes when he needs a free meal, but mostly the guys respect their need for girl time

lol and if you think Gwen is protective, you should see JUNO

who tried to be really casual meeting Check, the only real “meet the family” she got, but was so in love with the way Gwen was in love with Check

and essentially becomes that Rosa Diaz meme of “I’ve only known check for a day but if anything ever happened to her i would kill everyone in this room and then myself”
