I saw the yarrow prompt (and I'm dying so much for it to be canon at the start of next season), so I've gotta be annoying and ask for more Cophine for the flower prompt. Impatiens and sweet pea? ;)
You’re not annoying at all! I adore writing about these two.
Delphine huffed in annoyance, slapping away Cosima’s hand as she grabbed at the dish of chopped dark chocolate on the counter. “I need that for the recipe, Cosima.”
“You don’t need every piece, do you?” Delphine fixed Cosima with a curdling glare, and Cosima slowly withdrew her hand with a pout. “Fine.”
“Brat,” Delphine sighed, and Cosima grinned unrepentantly, standing on her tiptoes to press a kiss to the tip of Delphine’s nose before snatching a piece of chocolate and perching on the edge of the counter. Delphine just shook her head as she went back to rolling out sheets of pastry.
“You’ve been cooking for hours,” Cosima sighed, not quite daring to try and grab another piece of chocolate. “It’s just dinner at Alison’s. We could’ve just bought something, you know. Sarah’s probably gonna show up with an opened box of Oreos or something.”
“It’s my first time having dinner with all of you,” Delphine replied, focused on keeping the pasty even. “I want to do it right. Last year was…I missed it,” she said, summing up an ocean of hurt and bad memories in a quick three words. “So it is an apology as well as a dessert.”
“Well, you’ll have a hard time beating Helena’s babka cake,” Cosima said finally, leaning in closer to Delphine even as she kept her voice light. “Even with your fancy French milli-filli.”
“Mille-feuille,” Delphine corrected, but she was smiling again, their shoulders brushing as she continued preparing the dough. “Do you think they will mind that I am using whipped cream instead of pastry cream? And the fondant is store-bought…”
“Delphine.” Cosima hopped off the counter to wrap her arms around Delphine from behind, leaning into Delphine’s back and gently rubbing her hands down her arms. “Relax, okay? They already love you. I love you. And I don’t even know what the hell fondant is, so I definitely don’t mind.” Delphine laughed a little at that, and Cosima grinned, hiding her smile in the small of Delphine’s back. “Where did you learn to make this, anyway?”
“My grandmother,” Delphine said, moving the pastry into a pan. “We were close, when I was young, and I was not bad at cooking. It is a kind of science, after all.”
“And yet I still burn water,” Cosima sighed dramatically, and they both giggled. “Your dessert’s gonna be great, babe. I promise. Now please hurry up and finish it so I can do something this afternoon other than watch you bake?”
“Brat,” Delphine sighed, but she twisted around to kiss Cosima anyway, the both of them smiling. Nothing was certain here and they knew that more than so many–there were always storm clouds gathering in the distance, threats at the door.
But in this moment it was golden, and it was beautiful.
Aah, thank you! I’m sorry for falling asleep last night before I got back to this :(
Grey: 2 facts about my favorite things
I have adored elephants for as long as I can remember–I had to get a special bookshelf just for the figures I’ve collected over the years…and they still spill over onto other things.
My other favorite thing is without a doubt HAMILTON! I own the recording, the Hamiltome and the Chernow biography…and love them all :P
Purple: 10 facts about my room
1. Despite having my own room, I have a bunk bed. The bottom bunk is mostly a study cave.
2. I really do probably have too many elephant figures here.
3. Most of my furniture was originally my brother’s
4. I have a desk that is mostly unusuable now because of all the knick-knacks, books, and elephants on it.
5. I also have a bookshelf for books. It’s overflowing.
6. There are two Doctor Who posters on the wall.
7. There’s also a tapestry from Afghanistan on the wall.
8. I still have a ceramic piggy bank my grandmother made me when I was three sitting on my dresser.
9. My room is the smallest room in my house.
10. It’s also the warmest room in the winter, so who’s the real winner here :P
Hey there. I'm here to request (read beg) you to write more from the After Everything universe. I have to know what happens following Love for One Song! You can't leave it with Delphine finding the keycard in her pocket. D: In all seriousness though, your fics are absolutely beautiful. I rarely read AU fics, but I'm so in love with your idea for After Everything that I honestly think I prefer it to what really happened in season 3. Please continue! <3
Friend, you just made my day!
You know, I did have an idea for a third (maybe final) part for the AE verse and snippets of it are still sitting in my google docs. Maybe I can revive that and combine it with some post-S3 ideas I never got around to writing.
We’ll see though. OBS3 did a number on my Cophine muse and it’s been difficult for me to find that particular groove again.
