winter can kiss my a— // open

Fuck winter.

Sure, winter meant car troubles, and car troubles meant better business at the garage, but really— fuck winter.

With its…snow and ice and shit-

The cacophony of thoughts raced through Dodger’s head as he lie there, on the pavement outside his apartment complex, the ache of his fall slowly seeping into every inch of every bone in his entire body.

The pain was slow and gradual, the feeling a fun contrast to the icy slush melting beneath him, slowly seeping into his clothes. Maybe if he just refused to get up, the rest of the snow would put him out of his misery, just absorb him into the dark cold expanse of the void.

An unwelcome crunch of approaching footsteps broke him out of his suddenly existential reverie and Dodger glanced around in search of his visitor, as best as his current vantage point would allow.

Making the decision to finally attempt to roll onto his front ( regardless of who had approached ), Dodger stifled a groan before slowly, shakily taking to his feet, in refusal of any aid the bystander may have been willing to provide.

“You touch me, I’ll bite—”

See, Will wasn’t approaching to help. The guy seemed about their age so she’d come to poke fun as she spotted him fall on the way just passing by.

At his clearly snow-hating state, they felt a little pity. Almost thought about helpin’. Thne hehas to go and act an asshole-- and Will Vandom? They were alive, friends and germs. They were alive. Without missing a beat, Will smirked and they pushed their dreads from their face.

“Aw, you promise? I’m into that.”

Facing Decisions Made / Will + Moana

[heartoftheveil-blog]

breathofthe-ocean‌:

“You all came together?” Moana questioned her eyebrows furrowing slightly. She supposed she shouldn’t be that surprised, people did it all the time but choosing a university for other people always gave her a bad feeling. Hell she did just pack up and leave from everything she knew too.

“I mean I guess that’s cool? Did the Magic friendly thing about Swynlake help in choosing it?”

Moana’s second question sounded pointed and a bit of panic rose inside of Will. Did she recognize her from that night? Was that why? Just because Will was okay with being maybe known as  a magic, they didn’t want to expose everyone else.

“No, it was the university. Some of the girls had gotten scholarships, Cornelia’s a rich bitch whose parents agreed to a for whatever, and the rest of us were like ‘wow, great school, cool town, new country, what an adventure!’ And made it work.”

“Of course I listened it to,” Penny told them with a soft snort, pushing up to lean on her hands so she could watch Will as they flitted around. See, this was why she came here instead of just buying stuff off amazon. It was nice to see someone passionate about the music; and it was kinda nice to come in and have a conversation, too. Will was always fun to talk to, in Penny’s experience.

She turned the record over in her hand, humming appreciatively as her eyes scanned the track list. She was mostly happy to try anything Will was willing to give her - her music taste was varied enough that she liked most things, and by now Will knew her well enough not to recommend something she would hate.

“Ooh, you’ve really been doing your homework this week huh?” She grinned at Will, taking the record from them to have a look. “And hey, I love a little adventurous pop. And I’ll try anything once,” She shrugged, grinning once more. “Oh! I wanted to ask - can you rec me a 70s album? Like if you could only recommend one album, from the entire decade; I have to write a project on European politics in the 70s, so I figure I gotta got in the headspace, right?”

God, did Will mention they loved Penny Proud yet? Because they. Loved. Penny Proud. Before her, Irma was Will’s only music friend - and Irma was on another level entirely. Will couldn’t even imagine producing music for the life of them, unlike Irma, but their appreciation ran deeper than most people which gave Irma a good sounding board.

Will preened at Penny’s comment. “Sure did, sugar, as always.” Will hummed thoughtfully at the question.

“One album? Well, then I’d say, The Clash. London Calling.”

Facing Decisions Made / Will + Moana

“That’s cool, I’m in my third year now.” And that was a strange thought to be able to know within the next year and a bit she would be graduating and getting into the world. She needed to figure out what she was going to do.

“Uh- technically family. That’s probably the easy answer.” Moana explained feeling weird already to lie to the person that helped her so much that night. If it wasn’t for them Moana would have probably gotten in trouble for destroying property. 

“My Nana lives here, she always did like trying new things.”

Lives, she said. Good, good, so her Nana didn’t get feasted on by zombies that night. At least bringing Moana just past the Veil, into The Inbetween, probably wasn’t in vain.

“That’s awesome you have somebody from home. It helps. My four friends and I came here for university together.” No, they came here to figure out how to fix a tear in the Veil, and pretend to be average students while they were at it.

“‘Course they’re not Kentucky friends, they’re friends from when Mom and I moved to Connecticut, so I’m still the only one with a healthy appreciation for banjos.”

Facing Decisions Made / Will + Moana

breathofthe-ocean‌:

Raising an eyebrow at the others sense of humor she just managed a half amused face. It just wasn’t Moana’s type of humor is all.

Will. Well that definitely wasn’t the name they had used that night and for a second Moana knew she should play along and for another she just didn’t have the energy to get into another story.

Who knew if it would hurt the other if Moana knew that she was magick. It wasn’t like Moana went around bragging about her own powers.

“Nice to meet you Will. What year are you in at PrideU?”

“I’m a first year- I started a year late. Had to wait til I saved up the money, you know?” Will said, not at all sheepish. Quite proud, actually.

They idly played with their dreads and, keeping up the ’just met’ act, cocked their head to the side and asked, “What proud you here? Family or school?” Her way of asking if her Nana Tala was okay.

“Ah yes, another American right? Aloha.” Moana greeted at least this time she wasn’t as stressed out as she was the other night. The thing was while Moana remembered her and she wouldn’t insult them and imagine they didn’t recognize her but Moana wouldn’t put it past them to remember her name.

“Moana, I’m actually from Hawaii.”

Will wasn’t very patriotic, but abroad, they comedically feigned it. She suddenly looked quite serious and said, “I eat Russians and bleed freedom.” Dropping the serious demeanor immediately, they made awkward gay finger guns. “Kentucky, y’all!”

“Hawaii, deadass? That’s dope. I grew up the only black kid in my mountain town and probably the only Maori ‘sides my mom in the state. Will, by the way.” They extended their hand and smiled. “I’m nonbinary, but either she or they pronouns are cool.”

Penny had received the record player for her sixteenth birthday - it had been a combined present from her parents and suga mama, and it was the single best present she had ever received, to this day. It had come about, of course, because when Penny wasn’t at some after school club or another, she was blasting music in her room and making up choreography, singing along to every word. Her family thought she’d get a kick out of the record player.

And she did, but it meant she spent a lot of her time in Scat Cat’s; there might not be something for her every week, but Penny still went every Saturday to check up on their new stock, see if they might have anything she could annoy her parents with for the next week.

She went there often enough to get to know the staff. When she pushed into the store on saturday morning, she mosied up to the counter and propped her elbows on it, grinning at Will. “Alright - what you got for me this week?”

[heartoftheveil-blog]

Will perked up when Penny walked into Scat Cat, always happy to see their favorite customer. Work had been kind of sad since Roger left, a lot of the people who came to chat with him had disappeared along with him. So it was good that Will’s regular stuck around.

“Penny!” Will closed the inventory book they’d been lazily peeking at and got down to business. 

They gestured around the store as they listed off some. “We got the new Mumford & Sons today, but if you ask me? Disappointin’. Barely any aggressive banjo. I know I talk shit about people who like The 1975, but their recent album was pretty good, we’ve got that in stock.”

“Did you ever go home and listen to that song None Of Dem I told you about? Well, the  Swedish pop singer who does it, Robyn’s got a new album. I don’t think I can recommend Honey enough. It feels...raw and incomplete, like a work in progress, except like it was meant to feel that way, you know? It’s deep, moving, groovy, sensual, and frankly the best pop album of the year that will of course go unnoticed because she’s Swedish and not from the American market.”

Will grabbed a copy of Honey and handed it to Penny. “Hold on.”

She turned to the stock room and came out brandishing a copy of Chris by Christine And The Queens. “This album is just fantastic, also. The melody of 5 Dollars is perfectly poised between sweetness and melancholy; What’s-Her-Face frames a lyric about self-loathing with an ominous cloud of electronics; Billboard might not promote adventurous pop, but I damn will.”

Moana had been in a blur the rest of the multiple nights the eternal night went on. She had failed as a hero she had failed as a granddaughter. And she lost three days of studying. And she was losing more time taking care of her Nana.

She was exhausted. Still she had her head in a book like always.Focused on the classes she was going to had to skip for one reason or another. 

The bump sent her head up and her book clutched to her chest as she looked over the other. didn’t take long to remember them from that night.

“Oh hi, yeah, no harm no foul. Thankfully wasn’t carrying coffee or anything like that.”

Will’s eyes widened at the mention of coffee, ‘Nam flashbacks of coffee burns from her high school weekends working at Starbucks popping into her head. Thankfully indeed, because coffee burns were hell.

“Right?” Will chuckled, their nerves melting away as Moana didn’t seem to remember them. Maybe the glamour hadn’t slipped after all!

They fiddled with their backpack strap then shrugged a shoulder. “Well, cheers, as they say on this side of the pond.”
