nocturne in silver and blue

a/n : written originally for the kotlc secret santa for @that-glasses-dog except i horribly procrastinated on it </3. anyway i hope you enjoy the fic regardless because it is a 6k worddump on love existing despite everything and involves some of the hardest writing i've ever had to do (which probably explains the tonal whiplash). also i have already said too much so i will let you read the rest of this fic now

“Yup,” he enunciates, popping the last syllable - not missing the sharp intake of breath from a person he knows all too well. “Neither of us have been found by our soulmates yet. Which makes me wonder - what about you, Tam? Is there any lucky girl or guy in your cards yet?” The boy in question goes rigid - unusually so, and the voice that next emerges is so painfully cold it feels downright wrong. “No, of course not. Did it seem like the opposite?” Keefe’s eyes narrow, his gaze analytical at the stiffness in his movements. A heartbeat passes between the both of them, and the steely grey of Tam’s irises gleam like a knife’s edge. Keefe wonders if it’d be like kissing steel - like pricking blood that beads up like dirtied snow. “You’re lying.” - Alternatively; In a world where you see in greyscale until you hear your soulmate laugh for the first time, Keefe laughs a lot - loud and bright. Tam...barely even smiles.

Contrary to popular belief, Keefe doesn’t quite hate Tam Song. 

Sure, there was that tiny blip between the two of them - that blip of time when they fought like cats and dogs, both too eager to prove themselves to a world that refused to accept them for what they were and moulded them into something jaded and angry. 

But Keefe has never hated Tam Song.

He's come close to starting right now, though. 

“Wait…you're telling me that Keefe Sencen can't carry a tune to save his life?”

Tam smiles mildly as he plays back the recording of an extremely familiar muffled voice in the showers. 

“Give me that!”

As Keefe launches himself onto Tam's prone body without much warning, the rest of them begin to hoot and cheer, the easy light of the campfire warming them as they all gorged on the leftover marshmallows from the council meeting/friend group meetup/sleepover made to remedy the fact that neither Tam or Linh had ever been to one. 

Before Keefe can properly grab a fistful of his bangs, a peal of laughter rings out from the corner like tinkling bells - and the rest of them quiet down, staring at Linh - who's currently trying to muffle the growing redness in her face into a stuffed pillow. 

“...what?”

Dex shrugs, before reaching out to grab another handful of chips, ignoring Sophie's loud exclamation. 

“Anyone seen any life-changing colours yet?”

The entire group blinks, and Linh momentarily stiffens, before relaxing after no one shifts forward - only to coil back when Keefe teasingly pokes her in her ribs. 

“No need to look so relieved there - I'm sure I would have made a beautiful soulmate.”

Linh shrugs, cheeks reddening even further as the rest of them fully face her now. Tam warily shifts closer, only halting after she places a gentle hand on his.

thoughts on gay kotlc?

i don't know if you mean fanon or canon, so i'll touch on both.

while canon doesn't have actual "canon", i think there's a lot of easy potential. some of my favourites are keefe and fitz, keefe and dex, prentice and tiergan, marella and linh... i'm buffering a little. i'm sure there's more, but, point being: i don't think it would take much to make them official.

as for fanon, i think it's extremely fun! it gives us the opportunity to expand on things we see in the original text and create an alternate path. i think it's comforting for lgbtq+ fans to get to explore their sexuality and gender through characters they know and love.

i know it was for me! one of my favourite headcanons growing up was trans sophie/trans keefe. i didn't realize until now, nearly six years later, but that was for a reason! i found myself through them :)

bored? send me a "thoughts on" ask!

so like... i did a thing

chapter one of my first ever marellinh (kotlc) fic is OUT!

it's really short though, only 340 words. chapter 2 is longer, about 560 words but i haven't edited/published that yet.

sooo yeah, hopefully i can finish this one and it'll be one step closer to the marellinh takeover bc we need more gay seriously

also it starts off with litz. im sorry you guys

Fitz: Hey, Keefe, you busy at 4pm today?

Keefe: yeah

Sophie: No he isn't

Keefe: Yes, I am. 4pm is my gay time.

[lezabeththetheodoraimposter]

bronte is so silly. like even when he was still awful to Sophie. “your late 😡😒” I imagine him saying this so goofy like. also him being emo and keeping his classroom really dark. “thank you for that waste of words 🙄” is another iconic quote. also just how Sophie thought of him before he was on her side is so funny. like she really though he was going to try to skin her alive or smth 💀. “oh quit rattling your wind pipe 😡” like he’s so funny. also not him getting like almost killed bc Sophie inflicted happiness on him 💀💀. Sophie literally had to “save” him by inflicting anger on him, like bro is THAT emo “he was basically allergic to happiness” - Sophie on Bronte

#he’s so sarcastic #honestly comedic relief in villainous form #pretty gay too ngl #councillor bronte #he really need Sophie to inflict on him to feel happy 💀 #kotlc fandom #kotlc

idk sokeefe just feels like the kind of ship that should never go canon. like spirk. do you get it.

#let me. elaborate a bit. #i just think that. one of the big draws to sokeefe was when people didnt know if they really would be canon #especially when keefe was still more a background character #and a lot of sokeefe comes from the fact that they werent canon until stellarlune! people could do whatever they wanted with them #and even up until unlocked it was never explicitly stated that keefe liked sophie. just heavily implied. #and sophies feelings could have gone either way for forever. #theyre the kind of ship that should never be canon and just be so heavily implied that it drives people insane. do you understand. #like in straight media when gay ships can be heavily implied but they wont flat out say theyre canon #thats them! that should be sokeefe! #they function the best when they are not canon #kotlc

hate it more than anything when people are like "[character] doesn't deserve [person/thing] because they are/have [mental disability/symptoms of a mental disability]" like damn at least try to pretend you aren't ableist please and thank you.

#. . . obviously this is about fitz #but also about so many other characters too #kotlc #fitz vacker #kotlc fitz #somehow i ended up digging up the iconic “Just because your gay doesnt mean Sophie is!!!” post #besides the obvious cringe just. the way the anon talked about people with anger issues . . . #like wow let's tell all people with this one mental disability that they never deserve to have a partner because of their disability! #totally not ableist at all! #and he doesn't even canonically have anger issues i can only imagine how much worse this must be for characters that canonically do #villainizing a mental disability like that and making it out to be a sign that someone is automatically bad if they have it is just. #yikes
