Bro, those two garcello fics were amazing. Absolutely stunning!. Also hi I'm panic anon, one of the ones who suggested the mercello story. I guess I'll be the one giving you fantasy themed requests lol. Maybe a story with a s/o explorer gets herself caught in a mess when she runs into naga! Garcello and naga! Annie? Like they tried to eat her until she explains what she's doing, gar softens up about it and they both learn about humans while she learns about them? It'd be real cool if ya did this
Hi panic anon! It's nice to meet you, this one was a lot of fun, and a bit challenging because I had never heard of Naga's before now haha, I hope you enjoy it!

Nobody had been in this part of the forest in centuries. The locals had stories of an ancient temple, hidden somewhere in the jungle, swallowed by the trees and slowly being reclaimed by nature. They told tales of fearsome guardians of the temple, giant snakes that could swallow the moon whole and with enough venom in one fang to kill a herd of elephants.
But the people here were superstitious, and their stories of ancient beasts never held any water. However there was evidence in old texts that the temple existed, and that was the reason you were out here. You had been in this jungle for days on end, trekking during dusk and dawn, resting during the deepest parts of night and hottest parts of the day.
You began to see evidence of the temple. Cracked stones that could be a road, pillars what were definitely man made, and large tracks in the dirt that could be from someone dragging stone through the dirt long ago. You were so close to finding it, but it would have to wait until morning.
***
When you woke you weren't in your camp. It took you a moment to register that you weren't ticked safely in your tent, but rather hanging, upside down, from somewhere. You panicked for a moment, letting out a distressed sound and trying to pull your hands free. They were tied tightly behind your back and through your belt while you hung by your feet.
"What, what's happening?" You mumbled to yourself, looking up, well, down, towards the ground. There were those same strange tracks on the ground below you and you heard a low growling sound.
"What do you want?" You heard a strange voice ask. You looked around yourself as well as you could and saw someone hanging upside down next to yourself. He had teal green hair and soft brown eyes. But he wasn't tied, instead he had his arms crossed in front of him as he tilted his head.
"Why are you here?" He asked. You cleared your throat. You were starting to get a headache from being upside down so long.
"I, I was just," You looked down, or up, to where you were tied and looked to him expecting to see the same sort of vines holding him up. Instead what you saw shocked you.
He was a snake, from the waist down he had no legs. Where he should have legs like any normal person there was instead a long muscular snake body covered in black scales with green diamonds down his back. He was looped around the same large pillar you were hanging from. He was so large that his tail draped on the ground beneath you. You pulled yourself back and your mouth dropped open.
"W-what are you?" You asked, trying desperately to free your hands. He let out a deep chuckle and dropped down from the pillar, landing on the ground below. He had chains looped around his waist that jingled against his scales and he circled you, his head now level with yours.
"I'm one of the guardians of this temple," He bared his teeth, huge fangs that glowed green with venom, "and you are trespassing." He hissed in your face. You squeezed your eyes shut and grimaced, trying to pull yourself back. This was it, you should have heeded the warning of the locals. But, naga's? You had only heard vague myths of them, there wasn't even an inkling of him existing.
"Garcello?" Another voice called from somewhere within the temple. He paused and turned around and another person, no, naga, appeared around the corner. She was younger, with dark hair and red scales with the same black diamond patterns down her back. She turned to see you hanging from the pillar and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Garcello." She said with a bit of bite in her voice. His shoulders slumped and he rolled his eyes.
"Annie." He greeted her with the same level of bite. She moved closer and reached up, untying your hands from behind your back. He scowled and she turned to face him. You tried to focus on keeping your breathing and heartbeat as calm as you could.
"Untie her legs." Annie said to him. Garcello crossed his arms and lifted his chin.
"She got too close to the temple, Annie we're supposed to be Guardians." He said. His tail dragged across the floor, almost as if he was agitated, and his scales rattled against the stones. Annie sighed and reached up, trying to reach the ropes on your ankles.
"Garcello, there is nothing left here to protect." She said softly as she fell back to her usual height. She approached the other naga and rested her hand gently on his shoulder. He let out a huff, uncrossing his arms and approaching you. He reached up and untied your legs, catching you as you fell and flipping you upright to set you on your feet.
You had to pause and tried to steady yourself. You stumbled back, tripping over his tail and landing draped over his back. He was warm for a snake, you doubted he would have to bask like normal reptiles to keep himself warm, which explained why nobody had seen either of them. They likely lived underground. Under the temple. You took a moment and steadied yourself while laying over his back. He allowed it, although begrudgingly. You finally stood and he moved his body so that it coiled around you. Not tightly, just enough that to leave you would have to step over him.
"Are you alright now?" He asked. You nodded, regretting it as you felt dizzy almost immediately. You stumbled again and nearly fell backwards when he tightened his tail and caught you, holding you upright.
"I'm sorry, we're supposed to guard this temple." Annie said, folding her hands in front of her. "You're the first person to find it in years." She finished. You nodded, slowly this time, resting your hands on Garcello's tail around your waist. You took a deep breath and Garcello loosened his tail, letting it drop back to the ground.
"I'm just an explorer, I just wanted to see it. And document it, it's a big part of the history of this culture." You explained. Annie nodded and looked to Garcello. He made a low clicking sound in the back of his throat and she returned the sound before looking back to you.
"We can make you a deal," She said. "you're the first person here in over a century, and we've never met a human before." She continued. You paused, looking between she and Garcello.
"We'll take you around the temple, if you agree to teach us about humans." He said, moving so he was next to Annie. You were wary. He had kidnapped you, tied you up, and now they were going to release you, when you'd done nothing. You nodded your agreement, clearing your throat.
"I can do that." You said. Annie and Garcello smiled, though Garcello quickly let his face fall to normal as he scratched the stubble on his chin.
"But," You started. Annie's smile faded as she tilted her head. "I need you to take me back and let me pack up my camp." You continued. Annie and Garcello tilted their heads and looked to each other in confusion.
"I don't feel right, just leaving all my things in the jungle. They don't belong there." You shook your head. Garcello smiled and approached you, stopping so he was next to you.
C, E, J, K, L and W from Fluff Alphabet? (You can do less if that’s too many! :D)
It's not too many anon! I'm sorry this has taken me a bit to get to
***
C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
- Garcello likes to be able to see your face, so cuddling with you laying on his chest, or with his head on your chest, is fairly common. But sometimes when he's asleep he'll pull you against his chest and spoon you just because he wants to be close to you.
E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)
- Garcello isn't the best at expressing his emotions when you first get together, because he repressed them a lot as a teenager. But as he went to therapy more he learned how to express his emotions and does his best to clearly explain what he's feeling to you.
J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)
- Garcello is giggly as all hell. He loves to joke and laugh with you. He's the king of dad jokes despite not having kids of his own yet. He sometimes plays small pranks, just things like putting things on shelves you can't reach so he can get them for you and hold them ransom for a quick kiss.
K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)
- All the time. He loves kisses all the time. And not just kisses on your lips, but he loves to kiss your cheeks and forehead and nose and chin, pretty much everywhere on you. Just little kisses to say "I love you" or "I missed you" or "That was cute"
L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)
- Garcello's tells you he loves you. His love languages are words of affirmation, physical touch, and quality time, so that's how he shows love the most. He didn't get a lot of any of those in the foster homes he grew up in so he likes to tell you he loves you and shows you through little touches and spending time with you.
W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)
- Garcello knows that in a fight you can hold your own, probably, he hopes. He doesn't want to make you feel like he thinks you can't defend yourself, but he worries about you getting hurt. He would 100% fight beside you and defend you, and he would also fight for you if he had to. Usually he's a lover, not a fighter, but when it comes to you he's willing to break a few rules.
henlo! I just read some of your writings and are absolutely perfect 🥺
may I request garcello with an s/o whose love language is hugging and cuddling, but also is kinda touch-starved and is shy asking for it? thank you very much!
Hello anon, I'm sorry this took so long! My work schedule has been crazy lately, but thank you for being patient 💙😊
***
- Garcello understands what it's like to be touch starved and what that looks like, so he can sort of tell that's what's happening with you.
- He knows that you love to be hugged and cuddled, you have about a thousand pillows and blankets that you sleep with, but whenever he tries to be physically affectionate you seem to shy away, so he doesn't push it.
- He knows how hard it can be to ask for affection after not having any for so long so he doesn't try to force you into it, but he does make sure you know he's there if you want it.
- And when you finally do ask, even just for a hug, he's more than happy to comply.
- Eventually you work up the courage to ask him if he would be alright with you laying on him while you watch a movie together and he's ecstatic. Of course he's alright with it.
- He spends the night rubbing your hack and holding you, and when you fall asleep on his chest he carries you to bed once the movie is over.
I saw a comment on YouTube where someone made a headcanon about Garcello, when they were singing "Nerves" Garcello was really trying to sync his coughs with the song so as not to "ruin the mood" and it still makes me sad to this day :')
Babe I think I saw the same comment and honestly? It's 100% something garcello would do
Every time you bring up Garcello being Italian, I can only think of this happening at some point in the future.

This video? Perfect representation of Italian Garcello
Ok babe I just want you to know this is hilarious and I watched it three times because I was laughing so hard
That is absolutely something that would happen at some point if you helped Garcello cook dinner and he would very calmly explain that you do not break the spaghetti noodles under any circumstances 😂
Is it bad that I headcanon that boyfriend sometimes sings his parts of fading when he's alone at night? And that wherewevere garcello is(ghost McDonald's) he sings his parts bc their remembering their battle?
