these based on my total drama au 😁

I read this as Ezekiel x Heather and I almost lost it.

I’ve never thought about it but I really like the idea Zekehar now?? I cant get addicted to another rare pair 😭😭😭

pairing: ezekiel/harold

timeline: post-all stars, rehabilitation AU

word count: 415

i think zeke gets really into learning about fantasy fiction when harold introduces it to him!

yes.... i’m going to talk about this in the most canon aligned AU of them i have which is just like... total drama underdogs i guess HFMSHFND

so from the start harold is sort of a mentor figure to ezekiel and keeps him from the first elimination— because of this zeke pretty much immediately considers him a friend

zeke is fucking baby and doesn’t know a lot about technology that his parents kept him from, and harold, being the tech wiz he is, is DELIGHTED to show him everything he could bring on the island

“so it’s like a TV you can play games on!?”

duncan tries to punk both of them a lot but because of ezekiel’s High Density the pranks usually end up backfiring because he’s just so fuckin dumb they don’t work

harold is a little terrified but mostly thankful

at night they sneak out to light a bonfire and zeke talks about how he’s started to resent his parents for all that they kept from him and did to him for the sake of keeping him pure

harold is like um wow yikes when he hears about the stuff that his parents have done to him

“wait you mean your parents DONT beat you????”

harold’s immediately like Protect.mp3 but then realizes that ezekiel is surrounded by a force of pure luck and probably doesn’t need his protection anyway

he tries his best to be someone zeke can rely on regardless

zeke kisses him when the cameras are turned during one of the later bonfires as a contestant is getting eliminated

when the cameras turn back they’re both super red

“WHY DID YOU DO THAT” “WAS IT NOT A GOOD TIME”

it’s okay though because they both care about each other hardcore and they are dating now. harold knows that his love for leshawna, though intense, was something fleeting and not really grounded in an emotional bond. he still cares about her deeply though

leshawna is like Protective Mother of the Gays actually. she’s great and probably is the one who helps ezekiel find a better living situation after the island so he’s very grateful

THANK YOU OKAY!!!

ezekiel doesn’t look it but he’s like decently strong which terrifies harold. imagine your 5’1 BF being able to move an entire couch

i have a headcanon that zekes family was some kind of mormon? the way they sort of presented them and their beliefs is very Kooky Christian Denomination and mormons are probably the best descriptor of that group.

anyway zeke doesn’t know a lot of historical/scientific stuff because his parents told him false information and harold has to help him

because of their big height difference, when they cuddle harold looks like a big fucking gangly spider wrapped around his BF
