sylus. / day 14: coffee

fandom: love & deepspace pairing: sylus x my mc tags: angst, injuries for @thedrabblecollective's challenge

"Stay with me."

Sylus trained his voice to a neutrality that focuses every fiber of his being. Focus. Find the problem, course-correct time; it isn't the first instance he's taken fate into his own hands. But it's different now. She's in his arms wounded from battle, and he doesn't have the luxury of time.

(Whether fortune favors his luck is another story.)

"Sy--"

"Not now, sweetie," he interrupts, walking with purpose. Kieran and Luke should be here any minute. "Think about that ghastly, sugary coffee you were begging me to try. It'll be waiting for you when you wake up."

Summary: Lilu misses some of the flavors of home. Sam tries his hardest to recreate them even though he doesn't know what they were really like. It's truly the thought that counts, because in our kitchens at home, coffee is made with love, and it's no exception with Sam's efforts. READ ON AO3 or CONTINUE READING BELOW

Coffee is Love is Coffee

Sure, the Settled Systems has coffee. It's just that no one here kept the tradition of Latino cafe con leche. Especially how my Mami used to make it with a touch of cinnamon, more like in Mexico than her native Colombia. They have some sort of "spice" here, but it doesn't taste quite right.

I told Sam about it once and he makes it for me anyway. He says it reminds him of the color of my skin. I smile and tell him that it's absolutely perfect. His cafe con leche is an expression of love, just like my Mami's.

Day 14 - Coffee

(Ao3 link)

The hot coffee cupped in Cilan's hands across the table from Ash was a pleasant scent that Ash didnt realise he had missed untill now. Through their travels together, Ash had learned that Cilan had a very specific way he liked his coffee, specific roasts and preparations, honey, cream and a dash of tamato berry syrup that produced a certain deliciously warming scent. It was all very complicated and ash didnt quite understand, preferring hot chocolate and sweetened tea for hot drinks.

But sitting together in Cilan's restaurant, with this familiar scent wafting through the air, filled Ash with warmth.

Day 14. Coffee

Challenge hosted by @thedrabblecollective Title: To Make This House a Home Fandom: Liselotte & Witch's Forest Characters: Liselotte Berenk, Engetsu | Enrich Pairing: Engetsu | Enrich/Liselotte Berenk Rating: G Masterlist Read on AO3

Liselotte hung her head low, ashamed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think about..."

Seated in front of the fireplace, Engetsu looked up at her, unfazed, then back at the hearth.

"You didn't ask me to follow you. It was my decision."

Her grip tightened on the coffee-colored towel between her hands. Engetsu had stayed too long out in the rain, his wooden body had been soaked through. He was now slowly drying in front of the fire. All because he had helped her.

She silently extended the towel to him. He slowly reached for it, his arm making a creaking sound.

It tasted watery on his tongue.

Ren grumbled, then set the cup down to its plate. He looked to the coffeepot he was practicing with. There had to have been a step he missed, or he had used more water than he was supposed to...

Sojiro said that he would get better with practice. Ren was on his fourth attempt of the night, but he wanted to get one good pot of coffee before he went to sleep.

With one more burst of conviction, he got up from his chair and stepped around to the other side of the counter.

Day 14 - Coffee V2

(Ao3 link)

As an academic, school teacher, and a parent, Kukui was fueled by caffine. He generally stuck to instant coffee, sweetened with enough pecha berry syrup to disguise the flavour, with a hefty serving of moomoo milk to try and smother the grittiness. Mainly because it was fast to make and easy to get in bulk quantities.

Although, sometimes he indulged himself. It had been a slower morning today, Ash had been in Alola and had happily taken Lei for the morning, and it was school holiday. So Kukui was on his sofa, enjoying the smooth nuttiness of a good coffee.

Day 14: Coffee - @thedrabblecollective

This, as well as all of the other drabbles I’ll be doing for this challenge, are meant to be (out of order) parts of a novel I’m working on, so they probably won’t make much sense on their own.

Despite having no basis for Victor’s appearance other than her own, Cedar found that she was able to picture him more clearly from the letters she had found. Having heard, years ago, from Birch, before Oak had hurriedly changed the subject, that she looked just like “that boy”, she had, before, envisioned him as a taller, slightly malicious male version of herself. Now, she imagined that he might have narrow eyes the color of coffee, the dark, fluffy hair that Elm had described in her diary, and lines around his mouth, having smiled much more than his daughter might ever.

- I write, as if I haven’t described also Cedar herself as having eyes the color of coffee. Maybe I’m the one imagining Victor as a taller, slightly malicious male version of her.
