I’m taking the chance to share more than one because I’m feeling chatty today
Madeleine doesn’t like to expose his body. Sure, he is proud of and takes the most meticolous care of it but he does NOT want to expose it unless there is a reason for it such as beach/pool trip. As a result, he has the most extensive collection of linen pajamas so he can wear long pants and sleeves even when it’s very hot outside. If temperatures reach 30C/86F at night he may expose elbows or knees. Meanwhile Butter Roll won’t be using a shirt the second it’s early spring and even in winter will likely have half sleeves (he runs on higher temperature). Espresso looks normal by default next to the two (long sleeves+pants in winter, shorts and short sleeves in summer).
Madeleine puts on hand cream religiously every night and begun to do so for Espresso and Butter Roll too since the two have very rough hands due to working in the lab.
Espresso is perfecting a coffee blend with a rounder taste (mostly arabica) so Madeleine would have less issues with drinking it sugarless and milk-less (he never forced him to drink it bitter but Madeleine wants to).
Espresso will randomly cuss in italian if he’s angry enough. No, he won’t translate the insults he uses. (I may do in his stead even if just for context's sake).
Each of them has their favourites things to buy at the grocery store. Espresso fills the cart with sweet snacks and Butter Roll with cheese (he eats so much cheese). Meanwhile Madeleine may be a sweet tooth but he is extremely firm when buying groceries. He is the one buying the proper ingredients and such and may eye one chocolate oat milk only to say no treats and moving on. Espresso and Butter Roll fill the cart with his favourite snacks when he’s not watching.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
Butterleine and Espresseleine for romantic ships have me in a chokehold as well as butterspresseleine but with the Espressoroll as platonic/QPR. Also Butter Roll and Matcha friendship aaaand KouignMatchaSeaweed (with Choco drizzle and Plum Juice in tow, Kouign has many hands).
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
I don’t know if this counts for an AU but long long time ago (last summer, I believe) I wrote a bit of a switcheroo alternate universe (which well, yes, AU but it borrows parts from canon world so idk how much of an AU it can be) which would be set in the universe of Sage of Truth.
While I know that Espresso’s costume is his ceremonial vestments, I really like how it looked next to Crimson Knight, so wrote a light magic user Espresso who perfected his coffee magic with light magic to be next to Crimson Knight.
These are very old so forgive the mistakes but well :’>
Main points that I had written down are:
Whereas Madeleine is friend with Shadow Milk in the “regular” universe, in this one Espresso is friend with Sage. Crimson Knight is, however, rather close to Truthless Recluse.
Crimson Knight uses crimson magic but is not evil at all.
Crimson is far more level headed and cautios than Espresso who, instead, loves to experiment a little too much with combining coffee magic and light magic.
…and yes, there was meant to be a plot point about Madeleine accidentally reaching that universe and meeting light mage Espresso who at first thought of using him to stir Crimson’s jealousies but halfway through it, upon realising how much Madeleine cares for his own Espresso, he backed away. Sadly that did not stop Crimson from being genuinely mad at Madeleine’s presence and punching him through a portal back into his own universe.
While I still think fondly of these two and like to keep them in my thoughts I don’t know if I’ll ever do something more with them since I don’t think they’re that much interesting all in all but well, we’ll see. There's other AU ideas I'd like to elaborate more, one being an angel/demon one but I didn't have art for that so I went with this instead.
