I’m Just a Silhouette
Zolf never yells, never cries in his sleep. He doesn’t even gasp awake. He simply opens his eyes, balls his hands into fists, and breathes. Tonight though, that’s not enough. The room has gone cold and the growing numbness in his hands reminds him too much of the feeling of Wilde’s skin when Zolf pulled him from the wreckage. He knows Wilde is alright, that he came back, that Zolf brought him back. But his hands are cold and there’s a part of him that used to be unshakeable that still feels a little off kilter, after the crash.
So Zolf breathes, ignoring how his breath hitches in his chest, and whispers, “Wilde?”
“Mm?” Wilde’s voice is no more than an exhale, but it is enough to punch the breath from Zolf’s chest. He sucks in a breath as he feels Wilde shift next to him on the bed. “’S wrong?”
A hand, warm and gentle, finds purchase on his shoulder, and Zolf reaches up to clutch at it with his own. “Just- needed to make sure you were there.”
The truth tumbles out of him like a stone, landing heavy in the air between them. The hand on his shoulder shifts, turning to lace with the hand clutching it roughly, like it is the only thing tethering Zolf to this world. Maybe it is. Zolf squeezes Wilde’s hand, and winces when the hand starts to pull away. It only takes him a moment, though, to realize the hand isn’t pulling away, it’s pulling him closer. “C’mere,” Wilde’s voice is barely audible in the darkness, and Zolf leans towards him on instinct.
Wilde releases his hand and snakes his arm around Zolf’s waist, pulling him closer. His other hand finds Zolf’s between them and laces their fingers together again, squeezing gently. Wilde runs his hand up and down Zolf’s back gently, nails scratching lightly against him through the thin fabric of his shirt, and Zolf has to fight the urge to shiver.
“I’m sorry,” he murmurs, burying his face in Wilde’s chest.
“For what?” Wilde’s hand on his back stills for a moment, but where their hands are laced between them his thumb brushes gently over the back of his hand.
“Shouldn’t have woken you. Stupid.”
He feels Wilde sigh more than he hears it, and then Wilde’s hand slips up his back and into his hair. “You needed me,” he says, simple and easy, like it’s obvious. And Zolf doesn’t have anything to say to that, so he sighs, and lets Wilde’s warmth and gentle hands lull him back to sleep.

Happy ZSGAK! This is just a re-write of my original fic, but from Wilde’s perspective because 1) I want to write more of his POV and 2) I am almost at 69 fics on AO3 and want to save that for *not* Zolf/Wilde aldksjfldskafds

Zolf Smith Gets A Kith Day
Alright, folks. Announcement post!
My little weasel brain has decided to fixate on Zolf Smith, the Sad Dad Lad, and Oscar Wilde, the Sad Poet Man and I’ve also watched @damienthepious carry the torch as the Patron Saint of Lizard Kissin’ over in the Penumbra fandom, and SO. Zolf Smith Gets a Kith Day was born. (Shoutout to @swordfaery for coming up with this incredible name, and also the entire lolomg server for encouraging me to do this y’all are all wonderful thanks)
What is Zolf Smith Gets a Kith Day?
If you’re in the Penumbra Podcast fandom, and have seen Lizard Kissin’ Tuesday, think that but for Zolf and Wilde!
If you have no clue what I’m talking about, it’s a weekly spotlight on Zolf and Wilde’s relationship. I wanted this day to focus specifically on their relationship as a queerplatonic one, because while I do like romantic Zolf/Wilde a lot, I think the fact that Ben specified in canon that it’s going to be a deep platonic relationship is important and I want to see more content like that! Queer platonic relationships are so incredibly rare in fiction and I am going to fight for this one.
When is it?
I’m planning my first post for next Sunday (4/25/21), and I’m hoping this will be a weekly thing on Sundays!
What does this mean?
I’m planning to write a fic a week about Wilde and Zolf in a qpr. I may do one-shots, aus, multichapters, idk! I just want to write about these two for as long as my brain is hyperfixated on them. Join me! Art, fanfic, meta-posts. Whatever floats your boat! (pun intended). I want to drown in qpr content ok? Please? Just let me have this /lh. (and follow me here on tumblr or @ ADreamIsASoftPlaceToLand on AO3 if you just wanna read some fic!)
Tags
I’m going to tag everything on AO3 and Tumblr as “Zolf Smith Gets a Kith”, or shorten it to “zsgak”. If you post anything, please tag it and/or me because I want to see it!!! no need to credit me or anything, I want this to be a fandom thing not just a Me Thing :P

for the ask (the part i told you made me cry from the first zsgak >:) ): 'Oh, there you are, Zolf thinks. We’re going to be okay. You’re going to be okay. It hits him, then, how hard he’ll fight to see this Wilde. The one who can’t resist being a tease, the one who can’t resist poking and pushing. The one he sometimes wants to whack with a rolled up newspaper, the one he threatened to drown in a bucket.'
[send me a snippet of any of my fics and i’ll give you a director’s commentary!]
This bit was actually one of the hardest part of this fic to write? I originally had that section focusing more on how their relationship developed because Wilde Shut Down, they really only became compatible when Wilde dropped the persona and became a different person, but I didn’t want to focus too heavily on the that for a couple of reasons.
1) this isn’t Wilde’s perspective and I don’t think he would have quite enough insight on Wilde to be able to distinguish the parts of Wilde that were real and suppressed because of trauma in the time gap, and the parts that were just persona that Wilde didn’t have the energy to keep
2) it feels a bit too bleak for me to think about the fact they probably wouldn’t have become friends/qpp’s/etc if they hadn’t gone through all this trauma? and that wasn’t what i wanted This Fic to be about.
so i flipped it a little bit instead? I wanted it to be about Zolf recognizing that Wilde only makes jokes and puns and says stupid shit that makes him roll his eyes when he’s happy. and Zolf feeling like hope isn’t about the Grand-Scale Saving the World but taking care of the people he loves. making one person smile more. making one person Feel Okay. just for a little while. because that’s important too. that makes a difference.
and going in after Wilde in this moment? Zolf is terrified that he’s lost him, that Wilde isn’t going to come back. he’s tired and he’s frustrated and of COURSE Zolf gets that and he doesn’t want to push but also damn if it dosen’t hurt like hell to realize that this might be it. but then Wilde teases him and Zolf’s like. *oh*. *oh i haven’t lost him* he’s RIGHT there. that’s the Wilde I know. that’s the idiot i care about. he’s not gone forever. he might be hidden underneath a lot of pain and exhaustion and sorrow but he’s still there. i didn’t lose him, we’re still here and we’re still fighting. and it’s so much relief that Zolf is just sorta floored for a second, but he just Grabs Wilde and pulls him home, because he wants to take advantage of this moment while it lasts.
