Briggsy X Torbek

Who cares if these guy's flirting was just because of a fey curse, let Torbek have a boyfriend. What do we think of Briggsbek as the ship name? Name idea by wordy-little-witch. Or what about undeadwitchlight, idea by kitkatmonsterfox. Icon by ubtendo

I just wrote some BULLLLSHIT

(I've had this stupid shitty thing in my brain for like a week)

--

“No Torbek you can't join us in this, you have every disease ever and we really wanna catch any of those.” Kremy says to Torbek as the rest of the Krew stand a bit behind him. They all look a bit awkward and ashamed at the idea of excluding Torbek but they know it's for a good reason.

“What the flip you guys don’t appreciate Torbek at all!” Torbek sniffles tears in his eyes

Suddenly a voice calls out “Don’t worry Torbek i’ll take your diseases!”

Torbek turns around and sees someone stepping out of a portal and says “Oh Torbek’s Gods is that Briggsy “The Kutlass” Kratch from Edge of Midnight and also the Yuletide one-shots?”

Briggsy replies as he approaches Torbek “Yes it is I, Briggsy “The Kutlass” Kratch from Edge of Midnight and also the Yuletide one-shots! I am here to say I love you Torbek, let's ditch these losers and go have sexual intercourse!” Briggsy reaches out a hand for Torbek to take

“Oh Torbek though you’d never ask!” Torbek swoons before taking Briggsy's hand. They interlock hands and skip to the portal Briggsy came from. They enter and it quickly closes and they both disappear from this plane of existence.

The Krew stands there shocked at what happened for a second before Kremy shouts

“THEY JUST STOLE MY,” “our” “TORBEK”

Merry Christmas everyone

Bonus doodles below

How the others celebrate Yuletide when they aren’t sent on adventures.

Peggy and Bitsy sing karaoke

Torbek, Gricko, Hootsie and Frost watch movies.

Chuckles and Dandy do Christmas shopping (these two 100% do secret Santa with the others)

And Briggsy looks into the sky and sees no one specific at all (Yorgrim)

I hope you have a merry day regardless of what you celebrate.

[what-an-art-blog-huh]

For whatever you celebrate, with whomever you celebrate with, have a whimsical time!

Firstly, I love your writing especially your briggsbek works.

Secondly what’s your favourite part about Briggsbeks dynamic?

Thank you you’re my first ask I got in my Inbox ❤️ and I’m happy you like my writing!

I can’t really say what my favorite part about them is but I do really like that in the Yuletide one shots Briggsy seems to be one of the only people that treats Torbek like an equal and not like a nuisance (except that one time Torbek was cursed to have no friends). Like Briggsy genuinely thinks of Torbek as a friend and they just have a really cute little dynamic.

Thanks again for the question 😊

Won’t you shake a grinning sinners hand?

Undeadwitchlight/Briggsbek tought:

Briggsy seeing Torbek in the bunny outfit from guys night!

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

Each one of the holiday oneshots involving characters from all over avantris actually do happen, but as dreams for each character. Its just a thing that happens in Avantris, sometimes dreams connect to each other. People with magic in their heads often accidentally connect to others dreams more, even if that other is clear across the world. This happens to Torbek and Bitsy CONSTANTLY, and both are just seen as crazy. Gid tries to reason with Torbek about it, saying he sometimes has dreams that he is FRIENDS with CHUCKLES. Imagine that! Jean Claude talks to Bitsy about it too, and tries to see if she understands how real the dreams feel (she forgets their conversation). Torbek assumed he was just nuts too, having these dreams where he keeps falling in love with the same man over and over again. Until eventually, one day, long after all of Carnival Lecroux passed in that fire, he sees the man he’s dreamed about for decades, staring straight back at him.

(YES I MADE IT ABT BRIGGSBEK OK SUE ME RAGHHHHHHH)

This is a true fact.

The idea of the oneshots technically being Canon is very amusing to me. We are friends and have many jolly adventures, and we have also never met. Bitsy has met giants, Torbek has met weirdos like him.

The idea of Torbek finally meeting the Literal man of his dreams is funny and quite cute. "<grabs Briggsy's shirt> Woooow what material is this, boyfriend material?" (Because of Rule of Threes, this works)

[yeahummokay]

Ive been a little obsessed after seeing them flirting so cutesly.

[thelittle-poet]

Hear me out Undeadwitchlight but it’s the Duke and Briggsy’s Crooked Moon version.

[the-sapphire-cat]

Ok, ok, ok, l first of all yes.

Second of all, please imagine with me.

The Duke a temperamental, over confident and cruel man who despite his horrible reputation does have the bite to back up his barks. One day he leaves the city of glass to his doctors appointments but on the way he catches sight of something drifting along the lagoon, interested he decides he has time for a little detour, it’s not like his appointments have done him any favours as of late anyway.

Stumbling upon a humble shack in the swamps he meets the undead crocodile, being a noble man of the fey the Duke is no stranger to charlatans that use empty promises and cheap tricks to weasel their way into higher positions and high earning bargains, but this one feels different some how. A long but pleasant evenings goes by and the Duke realises this man is no trickster but he is the real deal, he is weary but exited they discuss mutual desires for power, control and wealth, they toy with the idea of a bargain twisting their words, testing the waters teasing the possibility but neither fall for the others charms or trick. The Duke realise the time but decides his appointments can wait for today he has a new appointment to attend.

Now they both wait eagerly for the other to cave to their demands, waiting to see when they are presented an offer they can’t refuse, now the only question is, would the Duke dare shake a grinning sinner hand?

Sorry for the mini fanfic, what do you think their ship name should be, grinningshadow? Noblesinners? CrookedWitchlight? I don’t know?

[thelittle-poet]

I loved the mini fic very beautifully written ✨and I really love CrookedWitchlight as a ship name but the others are also very good ❤️

Hear me out Undeadwitchlight but it’s the Duke and Briggsy’s Crooked Moon version.

Briggsbek AU

They don’t just see each other every Yuletide anymore, now they get whisked away on a magical adventure, EVERY HOLIDAY! Even holidays they didn’t even know existed, they fall asleep one night then wake up in the land of Saint Patrick’s day (get back the stolen beer by travelling across the grand moors), or the land of Easter (wander though the meadows find the missing eggs whoever finds the most wins a prize), or the land of talks like a pirate day. (Briggsy gets his boat back for 1 day)

Their last adventure takes place on Valentine’s Day, by then Briggsy and his friends have escaped Druskenvale and him and Torbek can meet in person without the magical adventures dragging them away.

Also Bitsy and Chuckles are there, they make great accidental 3 wheels.

[thelittle-poet]

Hi guys I just wanted to say thank you for all the love for my posts especially my Modern AU I am so happy that you enjoy it.

I also wanted to say that I would love it if you would just ask me things about my AU because I just wanted to talk about it with you all and feel free to comment on my posts it really interests me what you particularly enjoy about my ideas.

Hope you all have a good day.

[the-sapphire-cat]

Firstly, thank you for making this au it’s so much fun,

Secondly I have a few questions, if you don’t mind me asking.

1. What events lead to Yorgrim adopting Anya?

2, Briggsy and Torbek are together in this au how did they get together? Speaking of Torbek does the Duke exist in this AU or any of the other OUAW krew if so where do they fit in?

3, I think you mentioned Victoria in this au, how many campaign party’s are in this au?

Those are my main questions at the moment, sorry if these questions were answered in a post I just missed, thanks again for this fun AU, have a lovely day.

[thelittle-poet]

Sorry for the late answer but school started again and due to reasons I get up early and come home late. 😔

Alright now question number two 2️⃣!

My boyys!!! Briggsy and Torbek.

Yes they’re together and even engaged and I am so happy about that question because now I can talk more about them!!!

Tw: drug use and OD

Firstly the Duke does exist but not as a split personality but as a mysterious person in Torbeks past.

Secondly, yes the krew is also there. They fit in as the closest people Torbek has to a family after Briggsy. Gricko is an old friend from Briggsy and Torbeks younger days and plays a little part in getting them together.

And that leads me to the last question: How did Briggsy and Torbek meet/got together?

They first met at college where they were introduced to each other by Chuckles of all people. They did get along very well but it didn’t lead to anything (even tough they had mutual crushes on each other) and Briggsy did drop out after three semesters. They stayed in contact after for a bit but their interactions got fewer and fewer until they completely stopped.

They met again years later (between ten to five years before the EoM story begins) when they where both at their lowest, Briggsy exhausted and scared, running from his criminal past and his ex boss and Torbek, run down from a brutal divorce and his drug addiction.

Life was hard on the both of them and they recognized that. They started meeting more frequently and the old feelings for each other started growing again until…

Torbek nearly dies of an Overdose (you need to know that Briggsy and Gricko (he’s also there because he and Torbek stayed friends the whole time) did try to help him with his drug problem before, they didn’t just accept it) and it’s there that Briggsy decides that he will stay and help Torbek get his life back on track. (He doesn’t know himself why since he’s gotten used to leaving people behind)

Since then they built a life together, Torbek went to rehab and has been clean ever since and Briggsy has gotten used to living a rather normal life again. They had a lot of help from Gricko and his Uncle Glorbo before he sadly passed away. Gricko was also the one that convinced them both to act on their feelings for each other.

Ever since they have been in a very happy relationship and even got engaged.

Then a mysterious letter arrived addressed to Briggsy Kratch from P & A Druskenvald.

[thelittle-poet]

A suggestive warning (no sex tho) before you proceed!

In episode 57 of OuaW Torbek mentioned that he always hoped to suffocate between thighs and my brain went “Oh guess who you pair up with him and has nice thighs” and if I have to have that picture in my head you guys need to too

So, Torbek suffocating between Crocodile thighs

Good night

[thelittle-poet]

Hello guys I am very excited to present you with my very first fan fic. I sadly don’t have a AO3 account but I did try to get an invitation but I don’t know if it’s gonna work.

This plays in my Modern Avantris AU.

I want you to know that this fic contains a chronic pain disease called fibromyalgia and an inflammatory skin condition called psoriasis.

I hopefully used a more professional internet source than Wikipedia or ChatGPT to inform myself. I really hope I wrote it in a respectful manner (when not please inform me how I could write it better)

I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope you enjoy it.

Blue = Briggsy

Purple = Torbek

Nightly Troubles

Torbek startled awake. He looked at the clock on the nightstand and found that it was close to the witching hours. He was about to settle back into sleep when he realized something was missing.

His hand started blindly feeling the other side of the bed but there was nothing. There was no warm body next to him, no arms around him.

Then he heard it. Slow heavy breathing from somewhere in the room.

“Briggsy are you there?” Torbek mumbled drowsily. A strained grunt was the only answer he got.

Sitting up abruptly Torbek turned on the table lamp and looked around the room.

His eyes landed at the end of the bed where he saw the hunched over figure of his partner.

Briggsy sat at the foot of the bed. His head was in his hands one of them occasionally scratching at the plaque on his elbow.

He was breathing heavily while he tried to concentrate on anything else than the head splitting migraine and the burning pain in his joints.

‘Fucking flare up’s’ he tought, ‘damn even thinking hurts’.

‘Ok deep breaths, in … and out just like Frosty told you to’, he tought to himself when he suddenly felt two arms wrap around him from behind.

He let himself fall back into Torbeks body. “Fuck did I wake ya up?”, he asked his boyfriend.

“No but Torbeks glad Torbek did. Torbek doesn’t like when you don’t ask for help.”

“I don’t want to pull ya into me problems.”

“Torbek doesn’t mind.”, he told Briggsy.

This caused Briggsy to sigh dramatically but he couldn’t deny that he was flustered by Torbeks words. ‘How do I deserve someone as lovely as this dork’ was all his brain could muster through the pain.

“Can Torbek help you with anything?”, the lanky man asked.

Sighing again Briggsy accepted his defeat and mumbled, “My pain meds.”

“Sorry Torbek didn’t get that.”, he said apologetic though Briggsy could hear a hint of a grin in there.

‘Fucking prick with his fucking cute face’, Briggsy thought to himself.

“Could you please get my pain meds?”, he said through gritted teeth.

He heard an, “Of course love”, and felt a kiss being placed on his cheek before the warm comfort behind him began to move.

He sat alone for a moment before Torbek came back with a tray with his meds, a glass of water and a sandwich.

“Eat before you take the meds.”

“Thanks lovebug”, he said before taking the tray from him.

He slowly ate and took his medication before he returned to the breathing exercises he’d been doing before Torbek woke up.

“You ready for bed?”

“Yeah just give me a moment.”

Taking another deep breath he started getting up before he felt hands under his armpits and was pulled into a hug by Torbek.

They stayed like that for a short moment. Briggsy rested his head against Torbeks chest taking comfort in the steady heartbeat of the other.

He felt Torbek rest his head on top of his, quietly humming a song that he didn’t know.

Slowly Torbek started to lead them back to bed and after they laid down he pulled their blanket over them and snuggled up closely to Briggsy.

Briggsy felt himself dozing off while Torbek presses kisses on top of his head and whispers sweet nothings into his ear.

“Love you”, is the last thing he hears before he ultimately falls asleep.

The End
