How is Axel and Jim like in your college au?

AXEL AND JIM! Super chill dudes. Honestly they're like. the most put together guys here dghhjdg they're in grad school they have their shit together. AND they're engaged!!

Axel is working on an advanced history degree, with a research emphasis on military history especially. Has a casual interest in pyrotechnics and GMing complex combat-heavy ttrpgs. Jim's working on a geology phd (paleontology of course)--he's a transfer student from Australia and Shirley the crocodile is still here and she's still a crocodile. She's his ESA <3 He spends a lot of time hanging out with some other Geology undergrads (Hassleberry and Jesse.) Jesse actually used to live with Jim and Axel in a rental house until he felt a little too much like a third wheel and had to move out--they're all still friends though!

they're rare guests at Jaden's esteemed Brawl Wednesday because they're frequently busy with classwork, but when they do show up Axel mains the meanest Mario you've ever done seen, and Jim mains a positively ferocious Bowser. 🔥

@gxmonth Week 2 Prompt: SoulMates

I’m a sucker for rarepairs, and while I really love Orichalcumshipping, I felt the need to shine a light on a different pair. Sho and O’Brien play off each other really well, and while they didn’t necessarily hit it off at first, by the end of season 3, I’m certain they both have a deeper understanding of each other. They were exactly the person the other needed to meet.

Sho found out that even the toughest of people can be afraid and lose their way, and he showed O’Brien that even if you’re really scared, you can still put on a brave face and stand strong when it matters! I have a lot of feelings about these two, and I hope after all is said and done, O’Brien helps Sho get stronger and that Sho will help him loosen up.

We made Jim/O'Brien happen for the YGO Rarepairs Mini Bang! I love drawing O'Brien, and he and Jim carried season 3 entirely on their extremely capable shoulders. It is also Jim's birthday as I'm posting this, so. Behold! Enjoy! There's a fic some fellow participant who was going off of the same Vibes I was! I haven't even gotten to read it yet! Justice for Jim/O'Brien~

   O’Brien did a double take as we watched Jim take off his singlet. He didn’t know why but he winced, he had to look away. He was just more scarred up than he was expecting - or maybe it was just those specific scars. The others, O’Brien could only take a guess at knowing the origins of them but those abdominal scars on his belly, O’Brien was more than certain that he knew where Jim had gotten those.

   Even though O’Brien had taken his teaspoon of cement, and a few more for good measure, felt the hopes and courage of others coalesce onto him, he still felt a stripe of yellow in him. He had run away after Jim had lost to the Supreme King and the duels that he fought in the lead up had been vicious. 

   It had been a world where the monster cards that they slapped down into the respective zone on their Duel Disc became real. With that, each attack, every scratch, slap, or stab, whatever, had the potential to do real, actual damage and that was exactly what had happened to Jim, O’Brien observed.

   Of course, there was the possibility, those scars on his stomach were completely unrelated. O’Brien averted his gaze. He knew best, he just knew it.

   Still, now wasn’t the time to ruminate on the violence they were trying to put behind them in favour of at least brief reprieve. Look at them, they were out in the scrub, trying to enjoy themselves in the great outdoors and in a country that O’Brien had never visited before: Australia. Specifically, he and Jim were tramping around the central tablelands of New South Wales so it wasn’t exactly the gargantuan, rugged wilderness that O’Brien was used to up in the Rockies and the like but these adorably small mountains west of the Great Dividing Range were pretty likeable regardless.

   Jim had taken him to an obscure sort of spot that only locals - and cads like him - would know about. It was called the Devil’s Waterhole but honestly it seemed like a pretty sweetheart spot. There was a waterfall, alright, but it trickled down rather calmly compared to the rapids that O’Brien had seen in locations like Niagra. Still, it was a good, calm spot and the smell of fresh water was a balm on O’Brien’s soul and he was soaking more than just the waters in.

   Down an untarred road, just a couple minutes off the highway which was smooth as in its navy blue, this little waterhole existed, backed onto the other side of a national park, presumably. Birds flitted about and there were other animal tracks around, too, like kangaroos and rabbits, though O’Brien didn’t see any as there were tyre tracks, too, from other visitors who had already gone as well. The water in the lagoon was a murky brown with white foam, the lagoon itself almost a centrepiece for the forested area around it which was heavy and thick in the summer humidity. Not quite verdant, more rough than classically beautiful, but certainly alive.

   As soon as they got out of Jim’s ute, they were both eager to take a dip. The moment the passenger and front door of his ute swung open, they were met with an unusually thick humidity and warmth for this area. La Nina, Jim murmured and O’Brien nodded, he was already somewhat aware but the verbal confirmation clearly made Jim think that he sounded like a smart guy so O’Brien savoured that look. It was giddy and cheeky and then it vanished in the swipe of him taking off his shirt.

   O’Brien did the same, to mask how he had been gawking but the quick movements caught his eye. Trained instinct, he wanted to say. Nothing else, nothing more, certainly nothing untoward. He didn’t even catch Jim’s attention, even fleetingly, as he did the same but duh, Jim only had one good eye and O’Brien happened to be standing on that side of him.

   It wasn’t until Jim turned his head, proper, to speak that he overtly noticed him, “Do you look first or do you leap first?” he asked, flashing a toothy smile.

   “Look, obviously.” O’Brien replied.

   “I leap, personally, which is why, I’m counting on you to drag my lifeless corpse out of the water if I hit a rock or something.” Jim joked.

   “What? No, don’t-” O’Brien tried to protest, the joke not landing well but Jim did.

   O’Brien’s eyes went wide as he watched Jim take to the water, not exactly like a duck but there was a huge, graceful splash afterwards. Jim dived, head first, into the water and the ripple that caused was large and frothy. Then, a moment of stillness, and O’Brien stood on the shore and he waited. And he waited. And Jim came back up and he breathed a sigh of relief.

   “Come on in, the water’s great!” Jim yelled where he trod water in the middle of the lagoon. He flagged O’Brien down, waving and cheering. The water dyed orange with the oncoming sunset behind him, obscured by the waterfall.

   O’Brien huffed. Jim was too carefree, or maybe too something else, at times for O’Brien’s nerves. So, he scowled and he entered the water properly. Safely. With a pin drop and then a search and feel for anything that might be a hidden hazard. O’Brien, naturally, found that there were no snags or the like concealed under the water, quite like Jim had almost proven.

   O’Brien swam out to the middle and joined Jim. The water was cool and refreshing despite its murky, brownish colouration. It was an immediate balm after exposing themselves to the heat and humidity. The swim strokes themselves also getting the heart rate up which they both liked, too. They swam the length of the lagoon twice or thrice over, exploring near the waterfall and being jokingly disappointed there was no hidden treasure behind it. Or even a cave or other indentation, just a rough face of moss. 

   Other than that, they mostly just doggy paddled around, talking about the flora and fauna they had spotted; Jim was an amazing field guide as this was his element and despite being American, O’Brien wasn’t half bad at it either. Of course, he had learned from the best.

   At the end of such meandering conversations in the water, they just floated in comfortable silence, looking up and into the sky. It was big, vast, and oh so beautiful. It was cloudless but speckled with the first stars of the night as the colour of it slowly darkened from cornflower blue to something inky and navy blue. Venus could be spotted too in this beautiful dusk too, O’Brien and Jim observed it in opposition to each other: head beside head yet in different directions. It didn’t change much in perspective but maybe it did. Those minutes just floating atop the water, occasionally feeling the tickle of a water weed below them, felt like hours. It was relaxing to listen to the birdsong and the sound of cars on the highway in the distance.

   Eventually, however, they did have to get out of the water. Their hands were both pruned and this wasn’t the only stop that they wanted to make today in their travels, too. So, they forced themselves out of the water, diving under the surface of the water then rising. O’Brien felt like everything got louder when his head came back up.

   “Last one back’s a rotten egg.” Jim jeered.

   “We’ll see.” O’Brien said, taking the challenge.

   He smirked and what would you know? He managed to get back to the shallows and up onto the bank before Jim. Jim might’ve been long and lanky but O’Brien had a lot more power to his stroke. O’Brien smiled, victorious, as he watched Jim hike up onto the sand after him.

   “Well done.” Jim applauded him with only a hint of sarcasm. “I’ll go get us some towels, eh?”

   “Thanks.” O’Brien said.

   Jim walked back to his ute and said hello to Karen who was sunbaking on the tray. He opened the back door and heard her sniffle and snort to acknowledge him and what he was doing. Jim riffled through some haphazardly packed bags and found a towel for himself and O’Brien.

   He tossed one back to O’Brien, the towel sloppily unspooling as it ungracefully sailed through the air but O’Brien caught it no problem. He lifted it up and thanked Jim before starting to wipe himself down. Jim joined him shortly and stood beside him, wiping down how sopping wet he was, dripping and O’Brien kept snatching glances at him.

   Jim ignored it at first. O’Brien could tell, however, that his eyes were being purposefully ignored but he didn’t blame Jim. He didn’t know why he was doing it either. It made him feel a little confused, truth be told but Jim’s eyes were kind when he caught O’Brien in the act.

   “Curious about me scars, are you, mate?” Jim asked.

   “A little.” O’Brien replied, non-committal. 

   “You can probably guess where this bad boy came from.” Jim said and he indicated the claw-like slash marks on his abdomen.

   “I can.” O’Brien said.

   “What about this one?” Jim asked and he shifted his shoulder.

   O’Brien looked at it. It was an unusual gouge, he hummed, “Accident?” he asked.

   “Yup, fell out of a tree.” Jim said. “And what about this one?”

   Jim showed O’Brien his hand next. There was a faint scar on one of his fingers. It gave O’Brien pause.

   “Cooking accident?” O’Brien asked and he showed his own on his right hand. “I got this one strangling a gnarly can opener.”

   “That’s good,” Jim howled with laughter, “but nah, I got this one from dealing with one of the most dangerous animals in the outback.”

   “A kangaroo?” O’Brien guessed, his right eyebrow quirked quizzically.

   “Nah, a bunny rabbit, I was feeding it some lettuce and that fucker had a taste for blood apparently.” Jim said.

   O’Brien tried not to laugh, he wasn’t that kind of bloke but he did snort and that made Jim howl with laughter. He poked O’Brien and begged him.

   “C’mon,” Jim complained, “I’ve shown you mine, now show me more of yours.”

   “Fine, fine…” O’Brien murmured and he showed off a scar that he thought maybe he shouldn’t.

   It was from the car accident. He had cut himself on part of the mangled wreck of the car as he pulled his father from it and then, when his mother had been rescued, after it ignited, the wound was cauterised. It was a strange, gnarled-looking mark on the side of his leg, his cargo shorts having caught more of the slanted metal that had pricked him than his flesh, thankfully. Still, looking at it caused O’Brien’s stomach to churn… and apparently Jim’s too.

   Jim wolf whistled but it had a caught off guard tune to it, like it was more sardonic than genuine, “That’s nasty.” he said. “Is it from what I think?”

   “Yeah.” O’Brien replied. His single word reply was husky and raw.

   “You did the right thing, O’Brien.” Jim told him. He put his hand on O’Brien’s shoulder.

   “Austin.” he said as he put his own hand atop of Jim’s. “You can call me Austin. You know that… right?”

   “Yeah.” Jim replied but he, again, sounded caught off guard, like maybe he hadn’t actually known that. He then cleared his throat and got up, “Getting dark, eh? We should start thinking of finding a proper camping spot, there should be a caravan park in the nearest town, surely.”

   “Yeah, don’t want to attract any unsavoury characters.” Austin agreed and he got up too. It was fairly dark now, for summer, at least, so it was best to get going.

   “Or fines.” Jim added.

   They put their clothes back on and shuffled off. Jim greeted Karen again, made sure she was hydrated and comfortable in the tray of his ute and then joined Austin back in the front again. Austin clicked his seat belt and Jim stuck his keys in the ignition. He lazily drove off and put his seatbelt on simultaneously, once the lock had been jammed, his hand snaked elsewhere, rather back to the steering wheel.

    He placed his hand on Austin’s thigh, he felt both awkward and smooth flirting like that, he could feel Austin’s scar. Not literally, just in a more metaphysical sense but Austin didn’t seem to mind Jim’s hand. He relaxed and they both drove off, trying to evade the sunset before they got to the next spot on their itinerary. The highway welcomed them as they rejoined it after they got out of the scrub and they kept going.

“Missed you, mate”

A little one shot about my favorite orichalcumshipping (๑ > ᴗ < ๑) enjoy~

__

The flat was silent as O’Brien sat in his office and worked on files for President Pegasus. Numerous devices layed in front of him on the table and were connected to his work computer. Because he was listening to an audio, which he needed to analyse he had headphones on and read through his written audio description. Of course, with his concentration on his work he didn’t hear the front door open and close again.

Jim Crocodile Cook had an expedition in Ecuador and was gone almost a month. Tired and hungry from his trip back the tall man released Karen and let out a deep breath through his nose. A friend had brought him home with his car, hence why he didn’t gave Austin a call. Also it was the perfect opportunity to surprise his partner. Tipping on the keyboard brought his thoughts back and he smiled to himself when he realised O’Brien hadn’t heard him yet. Jim checked where Karen had gone and saw the tip of her tail vanishing in the kitchen. He tiptoed through their shared flat and found his friend in the office with his headphones on and his eyes on the screen. Jim licked his lips when he saw O’Briens outfit, grey jogging pants and a tanktop which showed the trained muscles. The perfect moment for an ambush. Smiling, the tall man sneaked up behind O’Brien and within a second his arms went around the muscular man. With a yell O’Brien jumped up and hit him with his elbow in the rib cage. Coughing and laughing Jim went down on his knees while the other one realised who sneaked up behind him.

„WHAT THE HELL JIM?! I told you a thousand times you shouldn’t do this.“

„You know,*cough* I love to do that.“

„But I don’t!“

And then O’Brien realised the situation, his boyfriend was back. He smiled and held out his hand to help the taller one back onto his feet. Jim threw his arm around him and squeezed him for a minute. O’Brien felt the same, even if he couldn’t show it but he truly had missed Jim. Jim released him and then kissed him. O’Brien was flustered but at the same time happy. Another thing he wouldn’t admit but he missed their intimacy. Jim let go of him and had a grin plastered on his face.

„How about a shower and I take those naughty pants off of you?“

Just in that moment his stomach growled. Flustered he smiled and rubbed his neck.

„Or you jump in the shower and I finish up my work and then prepare you some carbonada?“

„That sounds awesome, mate.“

Day 2: boat

A rubber dingy counts as a boat right? My Mum and I did this in the summer once and it was awesome, so have Jim and Axel goofing around while Axel struggles to understand what Jim is saying.

————-

[[MORE]]

“This is ridiculous!” Axel huffed as they sat in the inflatable boat, floating away from the pier.

“Yeah nah, you’re just too wound up mate so I thought we’d drift along the creek and have a little resta”

“A what? You mean a rest?”

“That’s what I said didn’t I?”

Axel rolled his eyes. He don’t know why he decided to come down south and visit the Australian. He guessed it was because he missed him after all this time since the dark world, in any case Jim was happy to see him and so was Shirley. But he had been a bit wound up lately. Probably due to never having actually been on a holiday before so he didn’t really know what to do…

Oh well, the Australian was certainly trying to help him relax and he appreciated that.

Axel watched as Jim pulled out a mini umbrella. He quirked an eyebrow in confusion as it was a standard Aussie sunny day with no cloud in sight “it’s not raining” he said, stating the obvious.

“It’s not for the rains mate, watch this.”

Jim opened the umbrella and the wind gust blew into it, causing the boat to drift faster along the creek.

“Whoa!” Axel chuckled as he leaned back against the boat to steady himself. “A miniature sail! Nice!”

“It gets the the job done! Now lie back, relax for the arvo”

Axel shrugged and lay back. To be honest it was nice. Just chilling in this dingy together letting the creek take them wherever.

Axel couldn’t help but dip his hand in the water only to be startled by the scaly head of Jim’s beloved croc peeking out of the water.

“Shirley!” He sighed relieved, of course the croc would swim along side them. It made sense. Better in the water than in the dingy with them.

“I wouldn’t dip my fingers mate, never know what nasty little blighters will try and have a nip atcha” Jim said gently.

“You’re telling me now!? How is this supposed to help me relax?!”

“Look they won’t come into the boat, Shirley’ll make sure of that, just lay your head back close your eyes and she’ll be apples”

Axel rolled his eyes but did as he was told. He wouldn’t lie, the heat beating down on him did make him want to take a nap. It was quiet peaceful all things considered.

An hour or so later they arrived at the nearest shore where Jim handed the rope to Shirley she she dragged the boat on land.

“You seemed to have a good snoozer!” Jim teased. Axel blushed or was it red from sun burn, either way it didn’t change the fact he did have a bit of a nana nap.

“Well I guess you could say she really was apples!” He chuckled to himself

“Not how you use the phrase, mate”

“Not my fault your slang doesn’t make any sense”

“Aw come off it, that’s an unfair cop!”

Axel laughed as they deflated the dingy.

“So we just hike back to the Jeep now?”

“Too right! and when we’re done we can go for a maccas run, or some cheeky nandos with the lads”

“What the fuck is a cheeky nandos?”

Day 3: Fire Pit

OrichalcumShipping

It was hard to sleep in the dark world.

It was easier for Jim and Axel to just sit together and watch the fire in silence.

Well.

Sometimes it was silent...

"So...got someone back home?" Jim asks while Axel is stirring the fire.

Axel stops for a second and sets down the stick that was being used.

"Not really."

"Not really?" Jim raises a curious brow.

"Wasn't sure what I wanted."

"Ah."

Axel takes a second before moving sit next to Jim, "How about you?"

"No. Not much for me there."

"Ah."

The fire pops and sizzles a few times, scaring Shirley for a moment, and the two watch it instead of each other, until they both dare a glance at each other, almost in synch...

"I think I might know what I want now..."

"And I mighta found something for me."

Their hands brush together for a moment before Shirley gets between them.

They both laugh softly before Jim pets the crock and Axel gets up again.

[orichalcumshipping]

Both Jim and O'Brien 100% agree on no wedding cuz Jim doesn't understand why its a thing in the first place, it just makes no logical sense to him and he sees no benefit to it, and O'Brien would be way too embarrassed by it no matter what. So they just go down to the courthouse and get the paperwork done and even that's still a bit embarrassing to O'Brien, but not nearly as much as the moment they get back in the car together, as a married couple. It's quiet between them, but Jim's really happy and Jim finally says "we're husbands now" and O'Brien's just thinking 'oh god oh fuck I'm actually a married man now and I have a husband and I really never saw this coming' and Jim leans over and kisses him and says "I do" and O'Brien's face burns up, but he's so incredibly ridiculously happy because he actually found someone that he's genuinely in love with and they're genuinely in love with him too and it's something he never imagined nor wanted until being with Jim and seriously falling in love with him and they're both just so happy to be married as awkward and anti-climatic as it is. But its the start of the rest of their lives together aaaaaaaahhhhhhh
