pepper & felix

part four

Felix has a lot on his mind. word count: 3.2k

“Hey, Felix, are you even listening?”

A hand waved in front of Felix’s face, jerking him back to reality.

His three friends stared at him, the four of them seated in a booth of a local restaurant. Felix blinked several times, momentarily shoving away the uncomfortable memory of a tiny heartbeat thudding against his finger.

“Yeah, yeah, sorry. I just zoned out for a sec.” He forced himself to laugh, beginning to pick absentmindedly at his food. The cozy setting of the restaurant helped to ease his stress somewhat, but his stomach still continued to squirm.

His friend that had addressed him— Alice— just snickered and said, “Honestly, Felix, you’ve been acting so weird lately.” Her dark eyelashes fluttered in amusement, peering at him from across the booth.

To Felix’s left, Breanna nodded, a finger twirling one of her long dark braids. “Yeah. What’s going on with you?”

As three pairs of eyes stared at him, Felix chewed his lip. “Um…”

He hadn’t told anyone about Pepper, aside from his soulmate, who had seemed to be just as shocked as he was to learn about the existence of tiny men living in the walls. His soulmate was actually the one to suggest that Felix keep his discovery a secret.

As much as he longed to tell his friends about that crazy incident three days ago, he didn’t want to sound completely insane. Honestly, he was wondering if he had imagined the whole thing.

“He’s probably just worried about The Little Mermaid auditions,” Owen suggested, giving Felix a toothy smile from across the table. “He really wants to be Prince Eric.” He raised his voice in a mocking royal tone, lifting a finger.

(Owen didn’t do theater, unlike Felix, Alice, and Breanna. He just liked hanging out with them.)

Felix exhaled. “Yeah, that’s exactly it,” he lied, grateful to have an excuse for his distant behavior. “I’m super nervous. I’d really like to get a lead.”

“Same,” Breanna and Alice said in unison.

“I’ve been practicing, like, every day,” Breanna admitted, resting her chin in her palm. “I think I’m gonna go for Ursula.”

The three others voiced their approval. Alice then began to rant about “that bitch in Music II that just wants to be Ariel so bad” and Felix took the opportunity to zone out again, thinking about a tiny man sprinting across his counter, holding a piece of spinach.

He frowned suddenly. Had Pepper been stealing the spinach for food? Had Felix interrupted him and forced him to go hungry? Was he okay?

“Felix,” Alice said, turning towards him so quickly that her silky black hair audibly whipped. “You are literally staring at the wall.”

“Oh, uh—“ Felix blinked several times, face going pink. “Sorry. Ugh. Just thinking.”

His friends laughed, and Felix ran his hands anxiously through his blonde hair, trying to ground himself in reality.

“Hey— what audition song are you using?” Breanna asked, her brown eyes dark and kind as they searched Felix’s face. Felix appreciated her immensely; she never made fun of him and always seemed to notice when he was uneasy.

“I haven’t decided yet,” Felix murmured, glancing at her. “Something from Beauty and the Beast, maybe. I dunno.”

“I’m using Beauty and the Beast, too,” Alice chirped. “My soulmate actually suggested it.”

That caught Felix’s attention. “Wait— you’re talking to your soulmate, now, too?”

Alice’s eyebrows raised, and she sighed dramatically. “Dude, I just said that, like, ten minutes ago. Have you really not been listening this whole time?” Breanna and Owen nodded.

He flushed. “Oh, shit, I’m sorry. Um— when did you start talking? Tell me again.”

Alice, of course, was thrilled to tell the same story twice. She immediately leaned closer, as if she was telling the three of them a secret. “He turned twenty-one yesterday,” she explained, lips twitching into a smile, “and we literally talked all night. He’s so sweet, and smart, and funny. Like, it was love at first sight.”

“I’m pretty sure that’s just how soulmates work,” Owen teased. Alice gently punched him.

“Shut up. Anyways, I just knew he was the one for me the second I heard his voice.”

Felix offered a smile, but her words sent an uncomfortable feeling into his stomach.

“You’ve been talking to your soulmate too— right, Felix?” Alice continued, tilting her head. “How’s that going?”

Ugh. Felix stalled by taking a sip of his water, then cleared his throat. “He seems a little shy,” he admitted. “I… I don’t really understand him yet, I guess.”

“What do you mean?” Breanna asked curiously.

Felix chewed his lip, thinking. “Um… I mean, I like him. He seems nice. But sometimes he’ll just cut our conversations off without any warning. And he never really talks about himself? He just asks me questions, mainly.”

He rested his chin on his hands, dropping his gaze. “We also haven’t really talked in a few days,” he mumbled. “We just… had a weird conversation, and he stopped reaching out.”

“I’ve heard of this happening,” Owen said thoughtfully, running his fingers through his red hair. “It’s actually pretty common to not get along with your soulmate right away. My older brother hated his soulmate for a few months before they actually got to know each other.”

“That’s comforting,” Felix said darkly.

“I’m sure you’ll work things out,” Breanna offered, and Alice nodded supportingly. “It just takes time.”

“Yeah,” Felix agreed, although his mind was starting to drift again. “I’m sure.”

—

Felix felt self-conscious.

His gaze wandered around the walls of his apartment. He was currently sitting on the floor, legs crossed underneath him, and quietly singing along to a song playing from his laptop. This was normal for him, typically. When an audition or a performance was coming around, he spent a lot of his time sitting in his apartment, practicing.

However— the knowledge that someone could be sitting in the walls, watching him right now, made him incredibly uneasy.

He hadn’t seen any sign of Pepper in the last three days, and he hoped that he hadn’t scared the little guy off permanently. Pepper had seemed absolutely terrified after their encounter.

His stomach twisted in regret, and his voice wobbled. If he could go back in time, he would change how he had treated Pepper in a heartbeat. Thinking of that tear-filled gray gaze staring up at him from beneath a cup just made him want to throw up.

God, I was such an asshole. He closed his eyes, steadying his breathing for a moment. When he held Pepper, he could feel his kicks and punches and struggles, but he had barely even acknowledged it. He had an entire person in his hand and he had completely ignored their fear.

Felix felt sick.

The song ended, but he had stopped singing along a few minutes ago. He leaned back dejectedly against the seat of the couch.

“You sound pretty.”

Felix nearly jumped out of his skin. He sat up straight, immediately freezing.

There, at the base of a bookshelf, was Pepper. Down on the floor, only a few feet away from Felix, Pepper seemed smaller than ever. He wore a tiny blue jacket that somehow seemed baggy on him, his sleeved arms folded in front of his small chest. A pair of tiny gray eyes were locked on Felix.

Felix was immediately hit with an onslaught of emotions; he was relieved to see Pepper again, but his heart was already thudding with guilt, remembering how easily he had trapped such a tiny being against his will. He felt incredibly uncomfortable to see Pepper standing on the floor, his neck craning to look up at Felix, who was also sitting on the floor.

“I said you sound pretty,” Pepper repeated. Despite his casual demeanor, there was a significant caution in the way he lingered by the wall, as if he was ready to bolt at any moment.

Felix blinked, muscles tense. “Oh– thank you. I, um… I didn’t know you were listening.” He held his breath, as if Pepper might bolt at the drop of a pin.

Those tiny shoulders shrugged. “I just overheard you, and I figured I’d stop by.” After a moment, he added, “Besides, I wanted to come and thank you.”

Felix did a double take. “Wait, what?”

“For letting me go,” Pepper explained, as if this was a normal Tuesday for him. “And you didn’t kill me or keep me, which is pretty typical for humans. And you didn’t go searching for me afterwards, even though it’s been three days. So… thanks for all that.”

Felix’s heart sank, while an uneasy feeling itched at his skin. Is that really what Pepper had expected from him? Being killed, or tormented? The thought of hurting Pepper any more than he already did made him feel sick to his stomach. He couldn’t explain why, but he needed Pepper to understand that he wasn’t any of those things he had described.

“Pepper…” His voice was hollow. He leaned forward, heart twisting at the sight of Pepper taking a small step back. “Pepper, you don’t need to thank me. I should be apologizing. You didn’t deserve to be grabbed, or– or trapped like that. I’m sorry. I really, really am.”

The borrower frowned for a moment, inquisitive. Then, quietly, “You just did what any human would do.”

Felix’s stomach turned. “That doesn’t make it okay. I still could have hurt you.”

Pepper remained suspiciously quiet, and Felix’s heart pounded. “Did… Did I hurt you?”

“Just a couple bruises,” Pepper said with a shrug, picking at the hem of his blue jacket. “It wasn’t that bad though. Nothing broken, or anything.”

Fuck.

Felix’s stomach was suddenly filled with ice. “Shit… I’m so fucking sorry, I wasn’t trying to hurt you, I swear.” His blue gaze worriedly scanned Pepper’s small form, as if he could magically see the finger-shaped bruises underneath his clothes. “Can— can I make it up to you, somehow? Please?”

Standing on the floor, Pepper seemed even smaller. He was barely over three inches tall, and Felix had acted so carelessly that he had bruised him. What had he been thinking?

“It’s okay, really,” Pepper said, seeming a little wary. “I get bruised all the time. It’s not new to me.”

“No, no. Can I make you something to eat, maybe? As an apology?”

The small man hesitated, wide gray eyes darting around the room. “You don’t have to do that.” As if on cue, the rumbling of his tiny stomach filled the air. Pepper’s tan face immediately flushed, and Felix tilted his head sympathetically.

“Here… let me go make a quick salad. It’ll take five minutes. Wait here.” Pepper had tried to take a piece of spinach a few days ago, so Felix figured a salad would be a good peace offering for all the trouble he had caused.

Before Pepper could refuse, Felix swiftly pulled himself to his feet. He immediately felt uneasy, looking down at the three-inch-tall boy from his height of nearly six feet, and took a calculated step back.

Pepper hadn’t moved, but his posture was significantly more rigid than it was before, staring up at the human. Considering the circumstances, Felix was grateful that he hadn’t instantly scurried off into the walls, and he murmured, “I’ll be right back.”

As he crossed the room into the kitchen, he tried to imagine that he was three inches tall, looking up at a man the size of a skyscraper. He shuddered, uneasy at the thought, and decided that Pepper must be a lot braver than he gave him credit for. The small man had actually approached Felix willingly, after all.

He stood aimlessly in the kitchen for a few seconds before rummaging through his fridge. He hadn’t gone grocery shopping in a week, and a lot of his produce was getting old. He’ll have to make do with what he had.

After a minute or two of dicing a cucumber into microscopic pieces, Felix spared a glance to his right, and stiffened.

It took him a moment to register what he was seeing. A small silver hook was latched onto the edge of the counter, and climbing up the thread it was attached to was Pepper.

The small man was about three quarters of the way up, not even looking in Felix’s direction. The human blinked several times, entranced by Pepper’s quick movements. Pepper had pulled his sleeves up to cover his hands as he climbed, a clever way to avoid ropeburn.

Deciding not to say anything, Felix turned back to the cutting board in front of him, carefully sectioning off an ounce of diced cucumber. He was halfway through chopping up some spinach when he glanced over again, only to see Pepper seated patiently on the countertop, raveling up his thread into small circles.

Felix gently cleared his throat. “That was impressive.”

Pepper tilted his head in Felix’s direction. It wasn’t any easier to read his expressions, even now that he was higher up. “Thanks.”

“Where’d you get that hook from?” Felix asked politely, absentmindedly searching for some sort of small plate or bowl he could give to a person the size of his finger.

“My sister,” Pepper explained hesitantly. “It’s an old fishing hook, I think. She got it for me when we were kids.”

Felix’s eyebrow raised, and he immediately had a thousand more questions. Pepper had a family, then? What was his childhood like? Did Pepper’s sister live here, too?

“What’s her name?” Felix finally asked, figuring that was a safe enough question to not frighten him off.

To his surprise, Pepper actually frowned, tightening his tiny grip on his hook. “It’s not really my place to say,” he said finally, voice cautious but firm. “Humans aren’t supposed to know anything about us, even our names.”

You told me your name, Felix wanted to say, but he decided against it. He glanced over as Pepper spoke up again.

“Have you… told anyone about me?” Pepper spoke as if he was trying to be casual, but Felix could sense a tenseness in the small man’s shoulders. The human blinked.

“No… not really,” Felix said softly. “I only told my soulmate. I’m sorry. But to be fair, I don’t think he believed me.”

Pepper’s face was unreadable, so Felix added, “Um, do you know what soulmates are?”

After a long moment, the borrower finally said, “I’ve… heard of them.”

Felix nodded, scraping a blend of diced veggies onto the corner of a napkin. “Humans have a telepathic connection with their soulmate,” he explained. “So I was able to tell my soulmate that I met you. But he acted kind of weird about it, and we haven’t really talked since, so… he probably just thinks I’m crazy now, I guess. You’re in the clear.”

“Huh,” Pepper said. “That’s interesting.”

Felix turned towards Pepper, the napkin laying flat in his hand. As he approached, it was hard not to stare at Pepper, in awe of just how small he was. The counter looked gigantic compared to him.

He set the napkin down a few inches away, hyper aware that this is the closest he’s been to Pepper since their last encounter. The small man visibly flinched as his hand approached, and Felix desperately wanted him to understand that he would never grab him like that again.

“Here,” Felix offered. “It’s spinach, cucumber, lettuce and some carrots. I didn’t add any dressing, cause I wasn’t sure what you like. And— I’m sorry— I don’t have any silverware that you could use. Um, but I hope you like it.”

Pepper, for the first time, actually sent him a small smile. “Thank you.” He swiftly approached the napkin, peering down at it momentarily with his small hands planted on his hips. After a moment of examination, Pepper picked up a piece of cucumber and tentatively nibbled at it.

Felix hovered nearby, his mind racing with a thousand questions. He still had no idea what Pepper even was, or why he had been lingering around his apartment. Did he live nearby?

“So…” Felix avoided looking at Pepper, busying himself by scraping the rest of his salad mix into a tupperware container. “I know you said humans aren’t supposed to know about you, but… I can’t lie, I’m really curious about you.”

Gray eyes peered up at him, hesitant.

Felix met his gaze briefly. “You don’t have to tell me anything if you don’t want to,” he assured. “But… but what exactly are you? Why can’t humans know about you?”

He tried to keep his voice light, respectful. In the corner of his eye, Pepper sat down, crossing his legs underneath him. Felix hoped that meant he was comfortable.

“Uh…” Pepper placed the cucumber piece back down on the napkin. “Well, we try to stay out of sight, for our safety. The world just… isn’t built for us.” He gestured vaguely to the kitchen, and Felix agreed that he looked very out of place on the massive counter. “If humans knew about us, we would probably be seen as— as pests, or something, so that’s why we try not to bother anyone.”

Felix’s eyebrows raised. “That’s messed up,” he said worriedly. “You all live in hiding because of humans? That’s… awful.”

He hated the idea that Pepper had at one point believed that Felix would hurt him, just because he was smaller. Did he still believe that?

“It’s not so bad,” Pepper reasoned, shrugging. “I mean, I’ve lived like this my whole life. And it’s not like we want to be interacting with humans, anyways. Humans are dangerous, whether they try to be or not.”

Felix stayed quiet, uneasy. Pepper continued hesitantly. “So… thank you, for keeping our secret. It means a lot more than you’d think.”

The human blinked, glancing over at the small man. Earnestly shone behind Pepper’s gray eyes.

“Of course,” Felix assured. “I’ll never tell anyone about you, I promise.”

Pepper opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but decided against it. Felix glanced over, watching as the small man leaned over the remains of his little salad and began to rip the napkin into a smaller piece.

After a minute, Pepper straightened up, and Felix realized what he had done. The napkin had been tied up into a little bundle, the salad nestled securely inside. “I’ll take this home with me,” Pepper said, genuinely grateful. “Thank you so much.”

He really did seem to have a lot of experience with this kind of life. Crafty, clever, and resourceful. Felix nodded, heart lifting at the positive response from the small man. “Of course. It’s the least I could do.”

Pepper nodded respectfully, beginning to walk towards the toaster, where Felix recalled there was a hidden exit. Then, the small man paused, peering up at Felix again.

“Also— I’m sure your soulmate doesn’t think you’re crazy,” Pepper said. “I think he’d be glad to hear from you again.”

Felix’s eyebrows raised in surprise. He had forgotten he had even mentioned his soulmate to Pepper. “Oh! Well, I’ll… I’ll reach out to him soon.”

“Good. And thanks again, for the salad. Maybe I’ll see you around, Felix.”

Hearing his name on Pepper’s tongue made Felix’s heart jump, not unpleasantly. “Right. No problem. See you around.”

—

Hours later, Pepper sat in his hammock, nibbling on a piece of carrot, thinking of massive hands and blonde hair. He sat up straighter as a voice entered his mind.

“Hey, soulmate, how have you been?”

“Hey, Felix,” Pepper murmured, setting his carrot down. Heart skipping a beat, he pressed his hands to his chest.

“Hey. It’s good to hear from you,” he responded, the corners of his lips twitching into a smile.

i love how he's aware that true compassion comes from not just spoiling someone but also disciplining them and whatnot

it adds to the balanced theme that he has going on

i also just rly love in general that azul loves and respects the maternal figures in his life not only because it makes him more respectable but also because it ties in with the feminism theme that you find in the little mermaid (whether animated or live action)

then then THE WHOLE LIKE,,, PART WHERE AZUL TELLS JAMIL THAT HE WAS SO SURPRISED AT ALL THE NEW SCENTS ON LAND THAT HE WAS SNIFFING AROUND LITERALLY

More music that inspired me while writing ♬♪♫ ヾ(・。・)ﾉ ♬♪♫

Take On Me – 2017 Acoustic by A-ha Lonesome & Mad by Under The Rug and Ariel Posen Campus by Vampire Weekend I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore by Lucy Dacus

The sun shines through the smoke floating through the air in the room as the gentle strumming of Ellie’s guitar fills the space. Rolling your head to the right you look up at her from your slouched position on the couch. A slow version of Take On Me by A-ha floats from the smooth instrument laid across her lap. The sound of suitcase wheels causes your hooded eyes to drift across the living room. Bea rolls her suitcase to the front door, dropping her duffle bag next to it. Her eyes meet yours and an amused smirk falls across her face.

“You all packed?”, she asks, leaning on one hip and crossing her arms. Bea has always been the mom of your group, making sure everyone was safe and counted for.

“Pssh, yeah! I am basically packed. I just…have to dump my clothes out of my hamper…and put them in my suitcase. Pretty much fully packed.”, you say with a lopsided grin. Oliver laughs at you from the kitchen and Bea rolls her eyes at your sarcasm, walking off while shaking her head.

Ellie’s chuckle makes your eyes drift over to her, “And what are you laughing at?”, you say with crossed arms and a dramatic scowl. Leaning her guitar against the coffee table she sits up, arms leaning on her spread legs. Her head tilts over her left shoulder, looking at you with red-rimmed green eyes, “C’mon. Let’s get you packed.”

“You’re not packed yet!? Bitch! We leave at like four in the fucking morning!”, Luna shouts as she rolls her two suitcases through the apartment door. Mumbling an ‘oh my fucking god’ you dramatically drop your head against the couch, “I’ll be packed in like five minutes! Everybody calm down.”

Chuckling at your pouting, Ellie stands to face you, grabbing your hands to pull your body off the couch. Huffing a breath you stand and drag your feet to your room only to let your body fall face-first onto your bed. Ellie closes your door and rolls her eyes at your flopped body. A squeal escapes your throat at the feeling of her hand harshly meeting your ass.

“I’m up. I’m up!”, rolling over and scooting off the bed. You look at your hamper full of clothes with disdain and dump it all on your bed, sifting through the clothes you half-hazardly eyeball stuff you liked to wear, shoving it in your suitcase. Turning around to sift through your dresser drawers, repeating the process with bras and panties. You put your hands on your hips and look at Ellie with a proud smile, “Done! See! Less than five minutes.”

She smirks at you from her place on your head, “Truly revolutionary baby. Now c’mere, let me show you what a good job you did.”, she says, patting her thighs.

Biting her lip at her boldness, you lift your body onto your bed crawling up to the headboard where she’s leaning. You had been seeing her for about a month and had yet to get used to her bold flirting, you were so accustomed to being the bold one, it made your heart race when she beat you to the punch.

Placing your knees on either side of her thighs you let yourself sink against her warm body. Sighing as her hands grip your plush thighs. Tilting your head you let your lips trace from her jaw to her mouth, your tongue sliding across the seam of her lips. Your hips shift forward as your tongues mesh. Your cold hands slide under Ellie’s loose t-shirt and you smile against her lips as she shivers. Her hands slide up and lift your shirt over your head tossing it to the side. You let your fingers thread through her short hair, moaning softly as her lips kiss and nip at your neck and chest.

“Jesus! Lock the door!” Noah's voice fills the room abruptly. Pulling away from Ellie you sit back to sit on her thighs and turn to give Noah the finger, “If Luna sent you in here to check if I’m packed, I’m packed!”. The three of them laughing fill the apartment, causing you to roll your eyes. Your friends are assholes.

–

Bea claps her hands, way too energetic. Didn’t she know what fucking time it was? To quote Luna it was four in the fucking morning. Your eyes are barely open as she speaks, “Alright fuckers! Ground rules. We’ve shared an apartment but not a bus so here’s what we’re not gonna do!”

Groaning at her enthusiasm you grip the blanket wrapped around your shoulders, sticking your nose into it. Ellie's front is pressed to your back and her arms wrap around you, warming you up. The morning fog just makes you want to fall back asleep.

Bea goes over how you all are responsible for keeping the bus clean, how we need to make sure we keep our laundry clean, how we all need to follow our schedule, blah blah blah. Her eyes darting to you and Ellie with a pointed look makes you perk up slightly, and you give her a ‘what?’ look.

“You two! We’re going to be staying in hotels too so you can keep it in your pants till then, yeah?” She speaks with a hand on her hip, like a mother scolding her children. She even had her binder perched on her other arm.

You roll your eyes and lean on one hip, “Yeah! We– Jesus– we’ll be good, okay? Nothing to worry about.”, Ellie’s laughing rumbles at your back causing you to let out a breathy chuckle.

–

“Fucking…could they have made these beds a little wider?”Ellie mumbles as you and her shift around, attempting to get comfortable. You can’t help but giggle at her frustration, you felt perfectly comfortable as you had half your body draped across Ellie.

“Open the curtain and it’ll feel more spacious!”, you giggle out as she wiggles against you.

She mumbles without thinking, “Fuck no. I don’t want them seeing anything.”, she finally settles with one hand behind her head.

Your eyes dart up to hers, “Seeing anything? Last time I checked– you’re not quiet. I’m not quite–”

“Well, never a better time to practice, hm?”, she mumbles against the top of your head as her arm around you traces shapes on your back making you shiver. You smack her stomach and ‘tsk’ at her, “You’re a goddamn pervert.”

Although you can’t lie… the idea of her fingers sinking into you while one hand covers your mouth…did make you undeniably flustered.

–

Shaking out your hands you take deep breaths, watching as Oliver runs onto the stage. Rolling your head around your shoulders as Bea runs out, flashing a million-watt smile at the crowd. Taking a big breath, you skip onto the stage, waving with both hands. You skip over to your guitar and fling the strap around your shoulders, resting the heavy instrument against your body. As your fingers begin to work the guitar your eyes drift over to the right wings of the stage, you're not able to contain your smile as you and Ellie make eye contact.

Your eyes wander even more to her as you sing your solo song. Fingers dance across the acoustic guitar, grinning like a teenager as you look at her. Jesus, what is happening to you?

–

“Oh my fucking God! I literally can’t believe I am here. Right now. And you’re there. Right now.”, she gushes as you chuckle and sign her vinyl album cover. Her manicured nails ghost over your hand as you hand the album back, “Y’know I’m only in town for tonight. I know a great bar and I’d love to take you there.”, her cheeks turn a vibrant shade of red as she speaks with hopeful eyes.

Your eyes widen and you straighten your back, taking a step backward, “Oh– I’m not– I’m not really spending time with–”, an arm around your shoulders startles you mid-sentence.

“Everything okay?” Ellie asks, standing taller than usual, her arm around you pulling you close.

“Oh! I– I’m sorry! I didn’t– um…thank you for the signature! You– you guys are amazing!”, the girl stutters, face flushing a concerning shade and she walks away from you back to her friends.

You drop your tense shoulders and turn to lean into Ellie’s chest, covering your face with your hands, “Thank you. Jesus Christ. That was so fucking awkward.”, you mumble against her. She chuckles, arms wrapping around your back. She dips her head down and kisses the shell of your ear, causing you to shiver.

Your head tilts up and your lips meet hers. There is still a rather large crowd wanting to say hi to you and the band and you hope at least one person is taking pictures.

You mumble against her lips, “Let’s get to our hotel room, yeah?”

–

Wringing your hair out with the hotel towel you eye Ellie as she relaxes on the giant bed, leaning against the headboard. She looks edible in her plaid pajama pants and snug sports bra. Hanging the towel on the hooks in the bathroom you shrug on your oversized t-shirt. Ellie was scrolling on her phone and hadn’t noticed you walking around the room. Quietly walking over to her side of the bed you slide on top of her straddling her thighs, your hands ghosting over her exposed stomach. Peering at you over her phone she gives you a smirk, “Whatcha doin’ baby?” her stomach tenses as your hands trace patterns in her skin.

Returning her smug smile you scoot lower and dip your head down placing feathery kisses on her stomach, keeping your eyes locked. A delicious shade of pink rises on her freckled cheeks. Tossing her phone to the foot of the bed she gives you her full attention, mumbling a quiet ‘fuck’. You let out a small giggle at the way her eyes glaze over with lust as she watches you place kisses down past her navel.

Hooking your fingers into the waistband of her pajamas you pull them down, biting your bottom lip at her lack of boxers. Taking your sweet time you place kisses on her navel again, slowly moving down to kiss her thighs. Your hands drift along her thighs, separating them as you lower to your belly on the bed, keeping eye contact with Ellie.

“Fuck, baby. You look so fucking beautiful. You’re right where you belong, aren’t you?”, she speaks in a raspy voice.

Brain turning fuzzy at her words you let out a small whimper and nod your head, wide eyes peering up at her. You finally let your tongue dart out placing kitten licks onto her clit, hands gripping her strong thighs. Mumbling your name amidst several curses as you flatten your tongue against her with more pressure. Paying attention to her reactions as you move you circle your flat tongue as you slide your middle and ring finger into her soaking cunt with ease. Smiling against her as she whimpers as your fingers curl.

Noticing your smug look she lets out a breathy chuckle before she pulls you up to her by your hair causing you to let out your own whimper. You rise to your knees with your fingers still sliding into her, moans mingling as your lips connect. Your thumb finds her clit and she pulls back unconsciously and you savor the way her brows furrow at your movement. You press your lips to hers messily as it becomes difficult to move your fingers and your arm aches.

“Fucking– fuck…fuck. Don’t fucking stop baby.”

Whispering breathy mumbles against your lips you can feel her come undone on your fingers, your arm not stopping until she is gripping your wrist, thighs trembling, and whimpering. That sound will never fucking get old. Gently slipping your fingers out you make sure she is watching as they slip into your warm mouth. Ellie’s head drops against the headboard and you take the opportunity to kiss marks onto her neck.

You lean back and scoot to hop off the bed to get a damp rag but Ellie’s hands grip your waist and pull you back causing a squeal to escape, “Els! What are you doing!”

“I’m not fuckin’ done with you baby.”, she speaks against the back of your neck, the sensation ticklish causing you to laugh and squirm in her hold. Ellie tosses you onto the bed before hopping off and rummaging through her duffle and pulling on a pair of boxers. Your heart races in anticipation as you watch her pull the harness taunt. Biting back a grin as she moves back to the bed, kneeling over your sitting frame. Ellie's hands find either side of your face as you exchange a messy kiss, her hands find the hem of your shirt lifting it off of you and throwing it behind her. Speaking against your lips softly, “Lay back pretty girl.”

–

The rising sun irritates you as you shuffle out of the hotel, hands stuffed into the hoodie Ellie let you wear. Why the fuck did Bea have the bus leaving at five in the fucking morning anyway? Chucking your duffle into the bottom compartment of the bus you step into the bus as quickly as possible. You were exhausted. Someone has kept you up until three in the morning, the both of you forgetting that your bus was leaving at the ass crack of dawn. You take a seat at the table inside the bus and wait for everyone else to board.

Luna and Noah take a seat across from you eyeing your grumpy appearance. Ellie steps onto the bus yawning as she plops down on the couch across from the table. Oliver and Bea are, of course, chipper as ever as they practically skip onto the bus, greeting everyone.

With everyone on the bus, you shuffle over to Ellie grab her sleeve and tug her to your bunk, sliding in still holding her sleeve you yank her in with you, immediately draping your body over hers and finally sleeping. Onto the next state.

Okay, I’m gonna talk about the movie, so spoiler warning.

If you haven’t, I would highly recommend seeing the movie. It was something truly special. If you have, talk to me in the comments! I’d love to know what other people think. Be kind please.

Ok...

I just loved the movie so much. I’m so glad they expanded it out. Like the scene in the village and with kiss the girl. I was melting. Ariel and Eric are just so cute together. I loved when Ariel is trying to get Eric to guess her name. Just every time they were together it was so real, and in the end where Eric is still longer for her even under the spell.

I really loved how it opened the dark above water transitioning into the vibrant sea, and then the mermaids singing just gave me goosebumps. Halle was the perfect Ariel her voice gave me chills every time she sang.

I personally loved her song as she coms into land when it’s such a huge build up only for Eric to now know her and it slowly falls apart. I felt that.

It’s not that in the original the relationship was bad, but it’s just so much stronger here. I even got butterflies from watching them together, such wonderful chemistry.

I also loved watching Ariel wander in the shopping district seeing her interact with all these new things was wonderful. Even the kiss the girl scene was a lot more magical, in my option, than the animated. Seeing them in Eric's room of collections was also so cute with how she was teaching him new things. Then him saying “my little mermaid,” I just melted.

One thing I was worried about was when I heard about the amnesia thing. I thought they’d completely wipe her thoughts about Eric, but it was only about getting a kiss. I didn’t mind it at all. Seeing them together was so cute. From them looking at maps together, and then to looking up at the stars. It was just so cute watching them interact more.

I thought that Ursula was also wonderful, Melissa McCarthy was really funny. I didn’t mind the changes to Poor unfortunate soul either. I still thought it was very powerful. Speaking of which, changing the contract to a scaled sealed in blood was a creative change. Also, King Tritons death had me in shock. Literally turned him into a skeleton and sink to the bottom on the ocean.

Going back to the music, I really liked the new songs added. Especially Eric's song. Jonah Hauer-King put his heart and soul into it I could tell. Gave me chills just like Halle.

I also liked how Ariel fights Ursula at the engagement. When she got her voice back I felt my heart rate spike. I loved that scene.

As for the ending, I liked Ariel saving Eric. Some people seemed to take issue, but I liked the change. Her fighting to get to the wheel was so intense even when you know what will happen. Also Ursula's giant form was so cool. Even if it was dark it was so foreboding.

Then there's King Triton coming to Ariel and Eric at the end. I cried. Just seeing such a sweet moment between father and daughter was just so sweet. With the mermaids and humans coming together I couldn’t not cry.

There’s probably so much more I could say. I love this movie and I think it’s become my new favorite. But I’ve already said so much. Please be nice in the comments. 💖

Keys and Cats

Oh boi! Been doing a little more digital art (seriously, it's addicting). Been learning a lot. Linework is still atrocious but at least I can mask it with shitty backgrounds now! 😂

This is going to be a wombo combo of art and headcannon. So here goes:

I got inspired by this little story here https://archiveofourown.org/works/54281104 by @soot-and-salt

My inspiration led me to think about how that could be a concept to be expanded upon.

So we all know Keekee is sort-of the spirit of the Hazbin Hotel. She is at the same time master key, house pet and she can go(or fly) where she wants and open any door.

Now, I think it would probably be a good idea for normal hotel operations for the hotel manager and the facility manager to also have their own keys. We see throughout the show that Vaggie has to constantly borrow Keekee to do her job. Not very efficient.

That's where other keys and the Cursed Cat Alastor character come in

Personal headcannon ties into how Cursed Cat Alastor could possibly make an appearance in the show and this is how:

-Magical Master Key blanks are generic and literally blank until given to a person by Lucifer

-The keys get infused by the souls of their owners to make them sentient. So the creatures that spring from this are somewhat a reflection of their owners. Not perfectly, of course and the owners don't pour their soul into the object. These keys are NOT horcruxes. It's more a guideline/baseline of what type of creature springs into being.

-The cats that turn into keys and can open every door have their own personalities and are only somewhat aligned to the person that lend their soul to its creation. So basically like Keekee only with a way more nerdy explanation. It just kinda made sense to me that way because of what we see from Charlie and Keekee during the show. I might be too over enthusiastic about this, though! 😂

Enter:

Loom and Ariel.

Since we can't keep calling the character Cursed Cat Alastor, I figured I give him a proper name in my headcannon. So he is called Loom. Like a looming shadow. He has the ability to shadow teleport, similar to Alastor only for Loom the teleport is instantaneous inside the Hotel. Unlike the two girls, he can't fly but he can make himself loooong like a fluffy cat snake (after all, you get longer bellyrubs if your belly is longer! It makes perfect sense! LOL).

He likes bellyrubs and wheedling treats ouf of Lucifer. Because Lucifer has a weakspot for small fluffy animals he always caves. Loom is a chubby round loaf cat with stubby legs. So basically the inverse of Alastor. Which is hilarious. Alastor himself loves his cat because it's just as much an agent of chaos as himself. Loom makes Theremin noises in addition to purring. So when Loom purrs Alastor can add his own background noise /white/grey into the mix to make an entire room sleepy and relaxed.

Ariel was a fun name to pick out because it means 'Lion of God' and that was oddly funny and fitting for a literal winged angel cat.

She is a tall elegant cat with a big fluffy tail. I based her loosely around Duchess from Aristocats. Her highlights and colorpallette are based on Vaggie, of course. I did change the wing color to those of Adams wings because it looked better in contrast to keeping the Vaggie/Exorcist pallette for the wings.

I have a weakspot for kittehs like that. Elegant and cute go very well together. And long fluffy tail is always nice! Like the other two cats Ariel can teleport inside the Hotel and she can fly in general like Keekee, though she has to use her wings to do it. So she doesn't exactly 'float' like we see Keekee do in the show. Ariel has an interesting attachment to Husk. She likes to perch somewhere in the proximity of the bartop (although not directly on it) and watch him work. Although Husk is not a catperson he did come to value her presence over time and sometimes goes over to pet her when nobody is looking.

She likes her ears scratched (especially the folded ear) and Husk is more than happy to oblige. Vaggie is of course overjoyed with her cat. Ariel is best friends with Keekee but the two girls accept Loom in their circle. When they get annoyed by his antics, they just fly out of reach.

Ok this turned out way longer and way weirder than I though. LOL

Sorry not sorry BAIIIIII 😂

Soulmate au down in the House of Mouse Au would be so funny

Except that Yuu doesn't have a soulmate bond because she's from another world

Cue most NRC boys realising their own soulmate bonds have disappeared because the one they are bound to is here but doesn't have her own

Did that make sense

Okay but I was literally thinking of twst soulmate aus like an hour ago how???

You see, I've always thought of twst character x yuu as a soulmate relationship any way since Yuu literally travels through dimensions to be with the twst character - if that isn't some sort of kimi no na wa fated pairs destined lovers then I don't know what is.

I don't really know how soulmates would work in the disney universe - like I do see all of the canon couples as 'soulmate-esque' so to speak in how they are both perfectly made for each other/two halves of a whole and that fate brought them together even though the circumstances were against them (snow white and cinderella being abused, aurora being cursed, ariel being a mermaid, etc) - but disney's idea of 'love at first sight' or 'your one true love' seems to differ from your usual fanfic trope in a way I can't really explain.

(though I can see an argument with prince phillip and aurora meeting 'once upon a dream')

So whilst I can think of soulmate ideas for twst (and I do have a lot of them), a house of mouse spin on it would be a bit tricky for me.

Thanks for the ask 😊

k so before i hop in the shower. with the new princesses of heart in kh, we have four confirmed:

kairi again

rapunzel

elsa

anna

now we can just like. ASSUME that they’ll add moana and make her a princess of heart. that’s like a 99.999999% chance. also she already had a medal and costume in ux so yeah that’s happening. that’s 5!

we can also assume they’re gonna add tiana. cause why the fuck would they not??? that’s 6

we still got mèrida as an official DP but i like. don’t think she fits the vibe?? i feel like she’d be more like ariel, in the lineup but not a princess of heart or w/e

so we’re still missing one. here’s my thoughts on who could be princess of heart #7 in order of how fucking hilarious it would be

Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) – we’ve already seen her several times but now she has a promotion

Esmeralda (Hunchback of Notre Dame) – same reasoning as Sally

Kida Nedakh (Atlantis) – please

Giselle (Enchanted) – hyperrealistic amy adams

Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto) – she’s like “okay so like. i’m a special princess??” “yeah, i know it’s a lot to take in–” “and it’s NOT isabela?????” “...no?” “oh i am gonna rub this in her face forEVER”

alternate: it’s not mirabel OR isabela it’s luisa or dolores. just throw people off

Elena of Avalor – imagine them making a disney junior show canon

Raya (Raya and the Last Dragon) – she is literally the princess of a kingdom called Heart like come on

Sisu (Raya and the Last Dragon) – would track with the “pure of heart” thing ig. also imagine them just saying the comic relief is now the princess of heart

Namaari (Raya and the Last Dragon) – the princess of a kingdom that is NOT heart but also she has a big gay crush on the heart princess this would give her so many crises

Maid Marian (Robin Hood) – furry world

Roxanne – furry world AND we have to do an entire goofy movie plot

Naminé or Xion – would make me cry

Wendy (Peter Pan) – she’s finally one of the chosen ones

Jane (Peter Pan) – grabbed the wrong darling girl, hook, can you believe

Lilo or Nani (Lilo & Stitch) – whichever sister it would be it would be really funny to see how stressed nani gets over it

Kiara (The Lion King) – 1) from a direct-to-video sequel, 2) a fucking lion

Melody (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but her daughter is

Gabriela (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but this one-off breakout character from the tv show is

Boo (Monsters Inc) – she is literally two fucking years old

Penny (The Rescuers) – just this random baby from an obscure disney movie. jenny from oliver and company is also acceptable

Mei Lee (Turning Red) – the princesses of heart are all actual royalty except for this 13yo canadian girl from 2002 who can turn into a panda when she’s mad

Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron) – disney refuses to acknowledge this movie’s existence but then they put it in kingdom hearts and make it relevant to the story

Ortensia – imagine they finally get oswald into the main story and it’s bc his wife has magic heart powers and heartless wont leave them alone

Anastasia – disney finally delivers the killing blow on the “anastasia is not disney” crowd. sorry guys we bought 20th century fox she’s ours now lol

Sofia the First – come on. tell me it wouldnt be funny. come on

Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) – it would make so many people mad

#kingdom hearts #mine

So what went wrong with Ruby Gillman?

I watched it last night and thought it was a cute, decent movie.

Parts of it were formulaic but it wasn't obnoxious, crude, ugly, etc. It had a decent soundtrack; it wasn't super funny but it got a few chuckles out of me. I liked that the mermaid was literally just Ariel if she was in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

Knowing The Emoji Movie was a success compared to this depresses me.

Re-read Parsifal's Page recently, and a few fun things that stood out to me this time:

Piers was elven at the start of the book. Eleven. And his parents just. Sent him off! With a knight they'd just met! Like Trebuchet. Sir. I understand that he's on The Quest or whatever, but that is a baby.

Parsifal picking Kai up by the scruff of his neck as if he's an angry kitten. Somehow I always forget that this happens and yet it always cracks me up.

I love Piers but watching Parsifal have his sweet inquisitive nature sucked out of him hurts and it's an absolute crime that Piers instigated this.

The scene where Piers gets an axe for Parsifal and mocks the smith's work is ten times funnier when we remember how young he is. Middle aged man who has been at the forge all his life just got roasted and shown up by a child who probably barely comes up to his elbow. Classic.

Parsifal telling Piers, "I wouldn't have thought it of you," after Piers admits to having seen a faery. Like okay I get it but you didn't have to roast him like that.

Piers thinking that the faeries surrounding him and trying to entice him away only for his father to chase them off was a dream. He's probably been surrounded by magical craziness all his life and just. Pretends it's his imagination. Of course I'm sure it doesn't help that his mother's solution to him being sick as a child was apparently to get him blackout drunk. But I digress.

Connie trying to be a girl boss only to be immediately shut down because she is surrounded by people who have known her since the day she was born and remember her teenage horse girl phase.

On the topic of horses, Parsifal's deserves a raise. This man learned how to fight and how to talk polite but certainly not how to be nice to a horse and it shows. It's a wonder he hasn't killed the poor thing.

The fact that if Parsifal had found the castle before becoming a knight who wanted to do great deeds he would have been exactly the sort of person who would ask the question but he never would have found the castle if he didn't want to do great deeds but the country boy who lived in the woods was more likely to ask questions than the knight but the country boy wouldn't have found- you get the idea. Thinking about this cycle absolutely kills me.

Rumor has it that if you listen hard while reading the scene where Arthur forgets Parsifal's name and starts listing other versions of the name as he tries to remember, you can hear Gerald Morris chuckling to himself.

There are few things funnier than Piers going, "I'm going to learn how to be a good servant by watching Sir Gawain's squire," only to have Terence give Gawain the silent treatment, proceed to insult him nine ways to Sunday, then relax and smile and chat like nothing happened after Gawain gets a chance to explain.

Half of Malchance's army turning on him because one of Terence's old friends was there.

Piers being equally capable of identifying ladies in waiting by their clothing as he is at identifying good steel. We focus on how he's secretly like his dad, but it's also not just the speaking french that makes him like his mother. This boy is a mix of both his parents, and not always in the way he thinks.

I never realized how absolutely heartbreaking the scene with the lady who tries to seduce Gawain is. Like, it's funny on the first read, but someone being driven mad because they couldn't cope with their father's grief is so horrifying, actually.

Gawain just knowing that Terence needs to stay with Trevisant without any discussion needed.

Guingalet launching a horse thief 8ft in the air.

Literal children Piers and Ariel not understanding why on earth a man would want to get into a castle full of women.

The absolute wildness of Kai to just. Straight up propose as soon as he discovers that the woman he's in love with isn't in love with someone else. Good on him, honestly. He knew what he wanted and went for it. (Also the way their marriage proposal/acceptance sounds like a challenge is so cute, actually. Like, yes, you lay out those terms of agreement for this life long commitment. It's adorable.)

The absolute weight of Parsifal not trusting magic anymore after the paths he's wandered. The absolute gut wrenching scene that is Piers trying to cry as quietly as possible after Parsifal rejected his gift. I just. Ow. So much ow.

Loved that Connie didn't immediately run to Parsifal with open arms. They had a discussion. His leaving hurt her. But they forgave and made it better. Almost as good as the practical Kai/Connoire marriage proposal.

Trebuchet recognizing a suit of armor he made before even recognizing his own son. The most renowned armorer in faery land, ladies and gentlemen. He has one special interest and we love him for that.

Just the whole message of the book. Things that are given are better than things that are earned, better to be a great husband/blacksmith/woodcutter than to have your praises sung by strangers, ask questions rather than trying to look smart, etc... it all feeds into a general theme of humility that is so poignant and so beautiful, and also reflects one of the running themes of the entire series. That's why I love this book, and this series in general. They're comedic, but they also resonate so deeply that you could think about it for hours.

thanks for the tag @thelastplantagenet <3

for the sake of this tag game i'll only be using my main/current ao3 account to answer with. otherwise it'll get far too messy

1. How many fics do you have on AO3?

53, and i only made this account and started posting on it in january of this year. i'm very normal

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

144,946

3. What fandoms do you write for?

mostly just mat fandoms to be honest, although i've got like... 4? non-mat fics on this account. i will be disregarding those 4 fics from now on (because obviously bigger fandoms get more recognition and this is a Mat Account)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

- Cold Turkey - 24 kudos, pat/thomas

- Performance - 22 kudos, thomas/julian, thomas/getting bukkaked by all the ghosts

- Follow Through - 22 kudos, alison/thomas

- Simon Says - 20 kudos, mat/simon

- Permanently - 16 kudos, julian/thomas

obviously since ghosts is the biggest mat show, it makes sense (not really anyone reading fics for ymata, spy, the wrong mans, etc)

5. Do you respond to comments?

i'm a lazy shit, and usually forget. when my friends comment they also tend to message me about it in the mat discord (if you're 18+ and want to join hmu it's a lot of fun) where i post all my fics too, so i tend to reply to them over there to be honest, but sometimes when i remember or am particularly touched by a comment i will go and reply

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

definitely "tell me what you imagine, when you think of me." rip ariel. literally

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

okay well it's not actually finished yet, though i have a good idea of where i'm taking it when i get around to writing more, but i'd say Fixer-Upper probably. chris waltzes into joe's life, improves it, then starts giving him lots of kinky sex while they also dance around ~actually dating~ (which they will end up doing properly. when i get around to writing it)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

generally, no. i make it clear what my fics contain, whether that's kinks, rpf, dubcon/noncon, etc, so most people know not to click if they're not interested. i did have a hate comment on simon says a while back, i remember because it was genuinely funny

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yes, lol. and all kinds, ranging from sweet to kinky as sin

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

i write many crossovers, i mean. i write a lot of mat character/mat character so like chris x joe (spy x reluctant persuaders), ariel x chris (ymata x spy), but yeah they're only really crossovers in the sense that i'm like hmm this mat character should fuck/date this mat character. the only ones i *properly* create a believable crossover world for are my chris x joe fics, because i'm very normal about them

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

don't see why anyone would bother stealing mine, the mat fandom is so tiny there's not much to steal. emma @toomanyfandomsneverenoughtime has written a few fics based on my favourite chris x joe crossover world i created, though, which isn't stealing but the greatest gift ever <3

12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

no, actually! i would 1000000% cowrite with emma though. if she wanted to :3

13. What's your all time favourite ship?

look. look.l ook. i can't choose between ariel x jamie and chris x joe but if i had to. chris x joe lol

14. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

i fully intend to finish my wips! i have the next chapter and a half written for Paid in Trade, i just haven't published it, and i've also got further plans for Fixer-Upper, and those are my only wips. most of my fics just tend to be smutty oneshots tbh

15. What are your writing strengths?

i write pretty good smut when i actually put in the effort, as opposed to being like oh god i have this smutty idea and i need to get it out of my head so i'm just gonna write it all in two hours and then post it because why not

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

having patience. i'm trying to write a longer sam/marat fic at the moment but i just keep wanting to rush ahead to the good bit rather than drag out the slow burn, even though i really want to. i'm impatient af tbh

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i only speak english and would probably definitely butcher another language. however if i ever have a need for a character to speak another language, i would probably make it czech so i could get @the-illuminated-one to provide me with actual sensical sentences as opposed to google translating it

18. First fandom you wrote for?

ohhhh wow kingdom hearts lol. but those are all wiped from the internet. there's still some ancient glee fics i wrote out there though, which came right after the kh era

19. Favourite fic you've written?

keeping it within the mat fandoms once again (otherwise i will just talk about my jopper fake dating fic which i am still so fucking proud of lol), probably come closer (ariel x jamie), but there's also a few fics i'm working on that are completely unpublished atm that i am very very attached to haha

and now for tagging. i tag @toomanyfandomsneverenoughtime, @sonnet-of-anarchy, @kore538, @goodonecap. no pressure, i just love u guys and know u all write. xo

#tag game #*fic #thanks t i loved doing this <3
