Yakarmi - Yakarmi

When they part, Jason smirks at him.

“My grandmother would be so proud. Waiting till marriage to kiss my husband like a good Christian boy.”

Clive rolls his eyes, and kisses the smirk off his face.

They talk about Jason coming back. He’d only moved out a few outfits when he was living with Farrah and had been recycling a combination of the same three shirts and two pants. They kiss a few more times, Clive enjoying the novel sensation and Jason feeling like he’d repressing it for far too long.

At last, Jason finally asks.

“So, how about it. Was to go on our… what was it? Fifth? Date?”

They go in the next day, Clive harried and positively miffed at being behind on work. Jason feeling light. It’s a Friday, and for the first time in a while, they head home together.

The next day, Jason plans a picnic. They go out to the nearby park, eat, and head to one of the local museums Clive had mentioned wanting to visit multiple times throughout their marriage. Before it too. Jason has been planning the date before they got married and has simply forgotten about it.

Farrah and Belinda give them shit. But when a few weeks later, the copies of their reports appear bound on Clive’s desk, they know who it was.

(And yes. They do convert Jason’s room into a study and return to the large king Clive has purchased for his own in order to… study. Yeah. Just study.)

A modern day AU where Clive is a lonely researcher and Jason works part time at a dumpling soup shop and at an office supply store.

Clive only goes out for three things - food, office supplies, and basic necessities. Somehow he runs into Jason doing all three of these. And somehow, the chef/server who will let Clive rant about his research, coworkers, the university (all while looking very interested), remembers his name and says hi to him every time they see each other.

Summary: Draco and Harry have been sleeping for far too long without talking about their feelings. Join them on their first date and a level of awkwardness only they can achieve.

Sequel to "From Prince to Pet" but can be read as a standalone.

Excerpt + my favorite line from it below:

“Draco squirmed slightly in his chair, uncrossing and recrossing his legs to hide the small shift of his bum. Thankfully, the pristine white tablecloth of the muggle restaurant hid the dirty stain of his growing problem. Flushing a bright red, he looked up to his dinner companion. Harry, the bastard, was looking quite pleased with himself. He was wearing a Mona Lisa type smile that told you he was hiding a secret.”

““A toast.” Harry raised his glass a little higher in emphasis. “Ron, Hermione and I do this whenever we have dinner together. Hermione’s idea, although we had to shorten it. She originally wanted to say ‘to being child soldiers fighting the previous generation’s war.’ Didn’t quite roll off the tongue, a bit redundant, so we shorted it.”“

Not gonna lie the way some of y'all put words on a page is....whoagh. there really is magic in this world.

Clive: We need to ta-

Jason: Nope, sorry. No time.

Clive: Jason…

Jason: Byeeeee

That poor, poor man. May Clive persist

REJECTOR!!!

I may or may not have finished the cock warming fic while on my prep period today (no one tell admin)

I’m thoroughly convinced that my favorite Harry Potter book is The Goblet of Fire and my least favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban. As much as a I love Sirius, there’s just not really enough going on in PoA... it felt sort of dry. The ending is spectacular but the entire essence of the book could have been capture much more succinctly.

(But after reading PoA, one thing remains clear, Snape is the WORST)

Couldn't picture Jason crying about it, but the annoyed disgruntled face seemed fitting.

(My doodles are based off the ones on the Fandom wiki for this one since they are more recognizable...)

yi city trio musician au? what genres would they be in, what would their fandoms be like?

Awww yeah, love a musician AU!

I have thought about the Yi City quartet as a literal string quartet before: Xiao Xingchen on first violin, A-Qing on second, Song Lan on cello, and Xue Yang on viola (lol). But in terms of more popular music?

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan made a name for themselves as a duo, playing melody-driven indie pop/rock with poetic but thoughtful and socially conscious lyrics. Their later work included more love songs. Xiao Xingchen plays synths and does most of the lead vocals, and he tends to bring a dreamy, almost shoegazey quality to the music, but he also is known for artful, complex electric guitar work. Song Lan also plays guitar, as well as bass and other string instruments as necessary; favorites are erhu and cello. He'll sing backup with the occasional feature vocal, but they also have a fair number of solid instrumental tracks.

They got quite famous (at least within their genre) but refused to sign to a major label. Fans actually ranged a fair amount in age. The most vocal fans did skew younger, and the most annoying of these were the hipster crowd and music snobs ("they're so intelligent/progressive/underrated," "they were better before they got popular") as well as the obsessive, borderline stalkerish ones who also loudly shipped them. (Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen were a romantic item eventually, but that was not public knowledge.)

Unfortunately, they had a messy personal and professional breakup, and they both sort of dropped off the map for a while, to an honestly impressive degree. Song Lan went back to school and would occasionally put out a stripped back, broody single on his personal page with zero promotion, but Xiao Xingchen disappeared.

Xue Yang, meanwhile, works thousands of miles away, and he's an underdog, loud punk rocker, guided less by any political philosophy and more just stirring up a reaction. Main instrument is electric guitar. He's performed with a handful of other artists over the years, but the stints tend to be short. His fanbase is small but dedicated, including a lot of angry young people who resonate with his "message" and/or his looks.

And then, he has a new band, and they're putting out music that is a little less screaming, a little more melodic, with a more consistent, left-leaning message? Sometimes? The drummer is an energetic teenage girl who was busking with a set of buckets on the street before the bassist/guitarist took her under his wing and they both eventually joined Xue Yang's act. The guy hangs around at the back of the stage, sunglasses indoors and mostly not facing the audience, playing bass to complement Xue Yang's guitar most of the time -- and Xue Yang and A-Qing have enough stage presence that he can fade into the background just a little. But especially when he's on guitar, shredding a fancy solo, he's impossible to overlook, and the rumors that Xiao Xingchen is playing seedy clubs with a punk group begin to seem less and less like conspiracy theories....
