My fic entry for @spectival​​✨

Simon’s not so sure about his new Burberry frames. Baz is determined to help him come around to the glasses life.

My @spectival fic is up!

The trials of tribulations of ever-smudging glasses.

...

Or, 4 times Penny dealt with glasses trouble, and one time Baz did instead.

all the places I'd have kissed you

my @spectival fic!!

“You know what I mean...” I kiss him again quickly. “I’ve never kissed you in the library. Think of all the places we could have kissed if we’d figured this out sooner.”

How much kissing would there have been? If I’d figured it out sooner? In the library, on the Great Lawn. In our room... How many walls could I have shoved him up against? How many empty corners could we have found? [Any Way The Wind Blows, 48]

//Simon and Baz are friends, and when Baz comes back to school wearing glasses Simon decides they should be something more. It's the start of their last year of school, and there are many places at Watford where they can kiss.

there when the light comes in (T, 2k)

My piece for the one, the only @spectival is up! 8D

Simon just wants his driver's license, but an unexpected hurdle in the process leads him and Baz both to come to some realizations.

Namely, that Simon hasn't actually been able to see. This whole time.

And perhaps Simon's not the only one with a thing for people in glasses.

My piece for @spectival is here! Magical Mishaps! Friends-to-lovers! Canon-divergence! And there’s art, too!

Rose-Colored Glasses

Summary:

Baz

“You were brilliant, Baz. You’re always brilliant,” he says, and the way he’s saying my name tonight is wholly different than any other way he’s ever said my name. I’ve heard him say my name with joy, hate, exasperation, admiration, and a thousand different emotions behind it. But tonight...it’s almost as if he’s saying my name with want. The way I’d say his name if I was brave enough to be honest.

When Shepard buys a pair of rose-colored glasses from a hobgoblin, the cursed object gets magicked to Simon's face, giving him an overly optimistic view of the world. Penny and Baz know they are dangerous, because they could potentially affect his self-preservation instincts. As they try to figure out how to get them off, Baz starts to wonder if the things Simon says and does under their influence are real. Will Simon feel the same way when the glasses come off?

Notes: This is a canon divergence story in which Baz and Simon’s truce in eighth year led to them becoming best friends instead of boyfriends. It takes place about a year after AWTWB, and magic can now affect Simon again.

Words: 7k, chapters: 1/1

@mostlymaudlin also made FABULOUS art to go with it, which you can check out at the end of the fic! I hope you enjoy it!

by @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

Simon gets us to the center of the open space and pulls me a little closer.  Saturdays by Twin Shadows starts playing and his grin spreads even wider, hips swaying to the beat.  Simon is a surprisingly good dancer, especially like this when he just lets himself get lost in the music.  It’s intoxicating, really.  I follow his lead, letting his hands guide me.

“Baz, he’s singing about Saturday!  Like today is Saturday!” Simon says.

“Today’s Thursday, Simon,” I correct, draping my arms over his shoulders.

“No, but like, the vibe right now is Saturday.  Like anything’s possible, you know?” He's leaning forward, whispering in my ear, and the feeling of his breath in my ear gives me goosebumps.

behold! my first art piece for the @spectival: an illustration from jess's specky fic :D the fic is warm and lovely and funny -- a perfect magical mishap. plus some good good friends to lovers content!!

Read it on AO3!
