Welcome to my Love and Deepspace blog ✨ I write sometimes. And sometimes I yell incoherently into the void.
I don't have any desire to write "x reader" fic (nothing against it, just not my cup of tea), my MCs are their own people and not reader avatars, but hopefully still relatable and enjoyable to read about ♥️
Also I think Sylus is a butch lesbian. I won't elaborate because it should be self evident.

the moment Valko hears you crying, he’s by your side.
it doesn’t matter if he has work, or if his pack needs him, or even if he’s having his own crisis.
nothing is more important than his mate.
“c’mere, short stack,” he says, pulling you into his lap.
he already has his ears and tail out, wrapping his arms around you tightly, his tail landing in your lap so you can run your hands through the fur to calm yourself.
Valko keeps his head buried in the crook of your neck, tracking your scent as he holds you. he doesn’t push for answers, doesn’t ask what’s wrong. he just waits until your tears are under control enough for you to speak again.
“I feel so silly,” you say, still petting his tail. “they’re just pixels. why am I crying this much?”
Valko nuzzles you, readjusting you on his lap so as much of him is pressed against you as possible.
“pixels or not, that doesn’t make them any less real to your brain. or to your heart. not when you’ve loved them as much as you have.”
you sniffle, trying to pull yourself together, but Valko doesn’t move. after a while, he asks you to pull your phone out and show him your favorite game.
“tell me everything about them, short stack. I want to love them just as much as you do. they can even join the pack.”
so you do.
you don’t know how long the two of you stay on the floor, you in his lap, as you walk Valko through all of your favorite characters and storylines. but it doesn’t matter.
he’s not in a hurry. he’ll be there as long as you need, even if you’re there all night.
you’re his mate, after all. and he’s never going to leave you.
remember the next time people say racism, colorism, anti-blackness are all dead in the world or have no place in fandom that a section of the LADS fandom led bullying campaign because they didn't want a darker skinned love interest.
infold is so annoying for canceling valko fr and like seein' the cn fans out here calling the western fans what essentially amounts to "brokies who should just uninstall the game if they don't like it" is really rubbing me the wrong way; i will prob still enjoy the fandom (to the extent that I already do) but I'm distancing myself from the game--i havent been pulling on new banners or buying anything in-game in general anyway
As I physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally cope with abstaining from horny posting this month, here are some Ramadan headcanons for the boys, both general and romantic
And Ramadan Mubarak for all the fellow LaDS girlies who will also be partaking this month <3
Xavier:
He's the type to routinely leave the iftar prep for exactly 1 hour before iftar because he thinks he can totally do it in 1 hour (he can't) . But whether the food is edible is another story.
This means you eat out a lot more together (all according to his master plan).
You cannot get him to wake up for suhur if his life depended on it. He is raw dogging it. No suhur we die like men.
He will buy you 10 different Ramadan calendars, and they will all hang on your fridge
He's sleepier when he's hungry and you'll find him napping during the day and fully alert at night. He shifts like 10 different time zones.
He is 100 times more clingy and jealous while fasting. He has a hard time masking his emotions and will be wanting to spend every single moment with you.
You and him regularly have supermarket dates and end up buying everything because everything looks tastier while fasting.
Zayne:
Not only will he wake up for suhur but he will not let you sleep through suhur.
And it won't be a small suhur, it will be a full breakfast. You will start the fast with a healthy meal.
He has all the fun facts about the health benefits of fasting ready to go.
He makes sure you don't shock your body at iftar by reminding you not to stuff your face immediately after maghreb athaan. Instead he advises you to start with a small date and follow it with water.
He does not skip a beat even while fasting. He is operating at 100% and you could not even tell he's fasting.
Whips out the qatayef immediately after iftar. You cannot deny him his sweet treat after iftar even if you wanted to (and why would you want to do that, you monster?)
He's the model Muslim. Will pray taraweeh at the mosque every night, and he's the one to remind you when laylat el qadr is so you can get your prayers in.
Rafayel:
Will be so grumpy about it but he cannot skip suhur or he will be 200% more irritable during the day.
Surprisingly more productive because he's painting to distract himself from the hunger.
Most likely to ask you 20 times a day "How long until sunset?" And he's upset no matter what your answer is. "Four whole hours? That's literally torture. What if I die before then?"
He greatly enjoys cooking together with you and getting the table ready for iftar. He treats each iftar like a fancy dinner party, arranging the table very artfully.
His retail therapy gets worse when he's hungry. He will look at his empty online shopping cart and go "Just one more thing. As a treat. I've earned it."
His house will be THE MOST decorated for Ramadan. He will pull out all the stops -- lights, streamers, banners, signs -- literally everything he can display, he will display.
Sylus:
Has to suffer not only your whining but Luke and Kieran's whining about how hungry you are and how far away sunset is, and does it with so much patience.
He is already a night owl, so he's relatively unaffected. His meals tend to coincide with Iftar and suhur already. He even wakes you up for suhur so you can eat together before he goes to bed.
That being said, he would not leave you alone to prepare iftar. He will absolutely wake up earlier to help you prep if you need it.
He's most likely to make sure you are completely pampered while fasting, not lifting a single finger--even going as far as hiring an entire staff to tend to your daily tasks for you, so you can put your feet up whether you like it or not.
Struggles the most to keep it halal during the month of Ramadan. He lives by the "what happens while the sun is down doesn't count" loophole. Onychinus isn't gonna run itself, after all.
He has Mephisto bug you after sunset to make sure you are drinking enough water because he will NOT suffer his beautiful and amazing partner passing out from dehydration while doing their intensive job as a deepspace hunter.
Caleb:
He doesn't technically skip suhur, but he also stays up until before dawn, has a snack, and then goes to bed. He's part of the "chronically sleep deprived during Ramadan" gang.
He's cooking all your favorite foods for you for iftar. The smells coming from the kitchen just before iftar are hard to resist.
Does not miss a gym day even while fasting. His stamina seems to be supernatural.
With all the time spent waiting to eat, you and Caleb are able to breeze through your backlog of movies and shows you've been wanting to binge-watch together.
He is racing you to the mosque. Praying taraweeh is a competition and he intends to win.
He WILL brag every single day about how he's not even hungry and how fasting is a breeze for him. But only because it annoys you and he thinks you're cute when you're pissed off at him.
