Things had been going pretty damn good for Taako in the romance department lately. He had a new very sweet and very hot boyfriend that actually made him want to like, put an effort in and junk. Kravitz was kind of amazing, and Taako wasn’t sure how he got so lucky. There was only one problem.

As far as he could tell, his family fucking hated Kravitz. So as far as his family knew, Taako was currently single and definitely not seeing anyone.

Not an ideal solution, but one that worked well enough for now. Or at least, it was before Lup and the rest of their ragtag group of misfits decided to go on a long road trip for the summer. Hiding a boyfriend was considerably harder when trapped in an RV with seven other people for two and a half weeks.

It was even harder when trying to bring said boyfriend along for the ride.

Chapters: 2 / 2 (Complete!)

Summary: Taako has a good life–his magic school is thriving and his apartment in Goldcliff is everything he’s ever wanted.

When Lup’s old illness flares, and with Barry out of the country, Taako is forced to return to his hometown to take care of her. Grappling with a complicated reunion with Sazed, Taako misses what is right in front of him: the quiet owner of the local general store who has a crush on Taako large enough for half the town to see.

[id: A lineart comic with Taako and Kravitz. The first panel is of Kravitz, resting in a bath, eyes closed. Taako sits behind him on a stool, hands on his lap. The line reads “Oleg doesn’t like lack of freedom.” The next panel is a close shot of Kravitz’s face, Taako’s hand on his shoulder. Kravitz’s eyes open in suprise. The panel says “tension and anxiousness”. the next panel is a shot of Kravitz’s back, with Taako’s hands massaging his shoulders, thumbs working a knot in his back. In the center of the panel it reads “searches for the faster between the shoulder blades”, and a black and red mass rises up through the frame The final panel reads “And releases marvelous birds.” Taako is stunned when great black wings burst from Kravitz’s back, but Kravitz is relieved, ears drooping down in relief and expression softened.]

Taakitz Week: Day 6- Prompt, Pocket Spa

I wanted to do more with this but I’ve been dealing with a lot lately. It was nice to work on it though and I’m happy with the place it’s at. Love these two. They’ve absolutely become one of my top favorite couples in any fandom I’ve been a part of. Thanks for doing this event @taakitzweek ! Hopefully I’ll be able to draw more next time. (PS: Hope my image description is alright! I’m new to doing them!)

[ID: A drawing of Kravitz and Taako from The Adventure Zone. They are both in robes; Kravitz’s is black and Taako’s is a light purple. Taako is a tan skinned elf with long dyed blonde hair that is tied up in a messy bun, his brown roots are growing in. He has a silver septum ring and several silver ear piercings, as well as purple painted nails. Kravitz is a dark skinned man with dark brown dreadlocks that are tied up in a bun. He has a gold septum ring and several gold ear piercings, with gold hair accessories. Both are wearing wedding rings, have on light teal face masks, and are holding mugs. Kravtiz’s face mask is painted on to appear like a skull. Taako is winking and sticking is tongue out playfully at Kravtiz, while Kravitz winks back and looks at him lovingly. Two small hearts are floating by their heads. End ID.]

Sickle and Thorn | Chapter 1

Ao3 Link: Click Here Ships: Taakitz, Blupjeans, Lucretia/Female OC Rating: Teen & Up Synopsis: During the latter half of the Stolen Century, the Light of Creation falls into a world that spans across an asteroid belt. The damaged Starblaster makes an emergency landing, and the Seven Birds know right away that this will be a long and difficult year. The people who live here travel throughout the asteroid system on lightsail ships, and blend magic and technology to survive in this rough environment. It’s a year of desperately searching for a needle in a haystack while trying to navigate the complex society, fighting off space bandits, and falling in love. It’s also the year they first met Kravitz. 

Note: This first chapter Taakitz-centric, so I wanted to share it for the free day during @taakitzweek! It wasn’t ready in time so it’s a bit late. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter One Excerpt: 

Silence settled between them. Kravitz’s proximity, the feel and shape of his hand, the exact weight of it, tugged at some ephemeral resonance in Taako’s brain. As he tried to pull it to his consciousness to analyze it, it slipped away like a broken bit of shell in a bowl of eggs. After multiple attempts, he wondered if he’d felt it at all. They both stared at their clasped hands, and Taako was the first to awkwardly let go. A line formed between Kravitz’s brows as he stared at his own flexing fingers.

Taako clutched the umbra staff with both hands to moor himself from being pulled out to space by emotions he couldn’t even name. He turned his attention to the festival around them.  “So, what would you like to do first?”

Next panel is of Taako, a chubby elven man with long hair on a braid, dropping flowers over the field.

Next page shows Kravitz entering through a rift to join Taako in the field. There is a panel closeup of Taako crying.  Next panel shows the two for afar, as Kravitz walk towards Taako. Last picture is of Kravitz wrapping crying Taako in his big fur cloak.

weak ice in places.]

Title: At Death Do We Start

Rating: T for canon typical language and violence

Characters: Taako, Kravitz, the IPRE, the BoB, Ren, Hurley, Sloane, the Raven Queen, Istus

Pairings: Taakitz, natch!

Tags/Warnings: canon compliant, post-canon, action/adventure, happy ending

Summary:

Taako and Kravitz are getting married. Except, well, there’s a little bit of a wrinkle. A tiny hiccup. The planar system’s smallest monkey wrench.

The thing is, the whole “alive/dead” thing is kind of a problem vis a vis ancient death rules. To beat the system, the Raven Queen’s got a fetch quest that’s a little more complicated than your usual wedding “something old, something blue” and a little more urgent than your standard save the date. Good thing Tres Horny Boys have a whole year of relevant job experience in finding things, because Taako, and everyone else for that matter, has his work cut out for him well before any wedding cake’s getting cut.

Turns out getting married is a little more complicated when your relationship is less “Til Death Do Us Part” and more “At Death Do We Start.”

A little late, so day 4 of @taakitzweek
