HIS MUSE
pairing: larry durrell x reader
warnings: 18+ minors dni, erotic letters, body worship, oral (f receiving)
summary: after your relatives forbid you from seeing larry durrell, a series of notes begin to appear.
a/n: yes i snuck in an atonement reference🤭
Having relatives on the Greek Island of Corfu lent itself to the most brilliant summers a girl could ask for.
Swimming in the crystal blue ocean, running through the cobbled streets of the town centre, picking fresh fruit at the market and riding donkeys along the beach.
A girl. Not a woman.
The summer of your 18th year you were worked until your bones were sore and your cheeks ached from the forced smiles.
Mini Bot Dump:
☾⋆。𖦹 °✩
Larry Durrell- morning - Larry has been trying to rouse you for hours, tapping away the keys of his typewriter, closing doors just a little too loud, and yet you’re still completely zonked out in his bed. Maybe it’s the Corfu heat.
☾⋆。𖦹 °✩
Larry Durrell- corfiote- Larry met you, a local villager, and he’s been enthralled ever since. But when he wakes up and there isn’t a sign of you in the house, he swears he’s going mad.
☾⋆。𖦹 °✩
Carmen Berzatto- muppets and tattoos- When you ask Carmy to design a tattoo for you, you don’t think he’ll take it as seriously as he does. But now you’re here, weeks later, and he’s finally letting you see the contents of his sketchbook. (ps. this is practically self indulgent because i have been oddly fixated on the muppets recently x)
☾⋆。𖦹 °✩
Carmen Berzatto- runaway- When you, Carmy’s little sibling, turn up at The Bear, completely soaked and having run away from home, Carmy can’t not take you in.
note: there will be more bots coming out soon, i just wanted to feed you something while i had them ready instead of forgetting about them later x
My Comfort Family
Come away with me
Summary: When the Durrels decide to leave England for the wonders of Corfu, Larry immediately knows who he must bring along.
Requested by anonymous
A few months earlier
The rain spat violently against the hardened glass of y/ns bedroom, just another typical day in dreary England, not even a glimer of sun in sight.
The girl sat cuddled amongst her beds blankets, silently reading Frankenstien. Enjoying the comfort of her own presence, although couldn't help feeling that someone was missing beside her.
The sudden sounds of a commotion from downstairs didn't give her any rise or fall in emotions. She was used to it. The shouting, the fighting, often directed at her. Only after a minute she noticed this wasn't the usual screaming match as this time, what followed after the shouts were what sounded to be a pair of feet running upstairs.
Before y/n even had any time to process what was going on, the door flew open, and Larry appeared with his typical grin plastered on his face.
"Why hello." He smiled shutting the door behind him, throwing his hat at the coat rack.
"Did you know that your parents don't like me very much?." He laughed, flopping down on the bed next to y/n, wrapping and arm around her waist, causing her to chuckle.
"Yea I kinda guessed that from when they first met you and you told them you wanted to quit your job to become a writer."
"Honesty is the only policy my dear" He spoke holding up a finger to her.
"Yea well there's honesty and then there's you Larry." She chuckled, going back to her reading.
Larry leaned over, his head resting on her should.
"I've read this a thousand times" He mumbled ad she tried to hold her concentration. They proved to be difficult as the boy on her shoulder kept talking over her reading, clearly restless.
Finally after alot of fidgeting Larry spoke up.
"Speaking of honesty...."
"What did you do?" Y/n smirked sitting up.
"Well , now don't get annoyed." He began standing up.
"Oh no this is bad, your doing a speech."
"Well you see.....the thing is....my mother has made a rather....major decision."
"Rightttt?"
"And the decision was prompted by me, the first time she's actually taken my advice actually and-"
"Larry! Concentrate !"
"Right yes sorry uh where was I?"
"Big family decision."
"Right thank you. Yes the decision. The decision is you see ....that.... we're moving."
"Oh, moving where?"
"Yes well that's the thing, we're moving quite...far away."
"Well how far, Scotland?"
"No, further."
"Futher ?! How further Larry?!"
"Corfu." He said shoving his hands deep into his trouser pockets.
Y/n stood up, he eyes wide.
"Corfu?!" He nodded nervously as y/n walked up to him.
"As in Greece Corfu!? Another country?! In Europe!?"
"Yes."
"Your gonna leave me! Alone! With my parents!?"
"Now just listen-"
"Listen!? Larry you said we were going to get married! You said you loved me! You said I inspired your writing and-"
"I want you to come with me y/n." He interupted, clutching her by her arms.
Y/n couldn't help but smile with excitement.
"Really?"
"Yes! Your really the only one I can stand in my family, and I love you more than anything!"
"Your not so bad yourself ya know." She smiled putting her arms around his neck, the two gently swaying.
"As long as your family are happy with me going aswell."
"Well mother addords you and margo sees you practically as her sister, Leslie can tolerate you like everyone else and Gerry...."
"Gerry is...gerry?" Y/n laughed
"Yes gerry is gerry." Larry repeated chuckling.
"This is so exciting." Y/n spoke giving him a quick kiss. "You'll finally be able to quit that boring job and write!"
"See this is why I love you so much!" He smirked before going in for a deep and passionate kiss with y/n running her hands through his hair.
Larry pulled away gently to give them a breath but swiftly began to pepper light kisses across her jaw down to her neck.
"Larry my parents. " She squeaked laughing, trying to push him away, which resulted in him making his frowny face, giving her puppy eyes.
"Fine come here, but just be quiet mister."
"I make no promises ." He stated before quickly picking her up around his waist.
Present time
Tap tap tap tap tap tap
"USE A PEN AND PAPER LARRY!"
Y/n woke up to once again the sound of commotion about the house , though this time it was different. She felt the sun's heat cascade onto her skin as she lay across the bed gazing at her boyfriend who so busy tip taping on his typewriter, not even stopping for a breath.
"Sounds like you've got some good ideas going." She spoke in yawn, getting up and walking over him.
"Can't talk, busy writing." He mumbled taking another puf of his cigarette only to have y/n snatch it from his hand, putting it to her own lips, with Larry glancing up at her.
"Go, your distracting me." He mumbled as he felt himself being pulled away from his writing already.
"Aw poor baby." Y/n teased softy grabbing his jaw, bringing his lips to hers. After a few seconds of indulging in the kiss, Larry pulled away
"No goooo, I need to write."
"Fine fine." She giggled leaving with his dressing gown around her.
Downstairs
"Morning y/n." Mrs Durrell smiled as she arranged some flowers in the kitchen whilst Margo sat at the table reading some kind of fashion magazine.
"Morning all." She smiled taking a seat next to Margo "So what's today's top read Margo?"
"Today's Modern Women." She replied handing it to her.
"Sounds scandalously progressive." Y/n smirked whilst taking a read.
"I'm hoping it'll tell me how to find a man." Margo huffed palcing her head in her band.
"You don't a man Margo." Y/n laughed as she got up to help with the dishes.
"Well, that's easy for you to say. You have a one already."
"I do, although HE DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO GIVE ME ANY ATTENTION THIS MORNING!" She shouted, making sure Larry could hear her over the sound of the typewriter.
"YOUR A BLOODY PAIN!" He shouted back at her causing the girls to laugh.
"Morning all." Leslsi walked in, gun in hand and a rabbit in another. "How'd everyone sleep."
"Didn't get much sleep if ya know what I mean." Y/n winked
"Stop! I do not want to hear about that. " He raised his voice before storming out.
"Do you hear that?" Margo stated, looking around the room.
"Hear what darling?" Mrs Durrel asked
"Yea I don't hear anything." Y/n agreed.
"Exactly, it's silent, no typing."
Before anyone could say anything else, the sound of Larry rushing down the stairs became evident to all in the household.
"It's finished! I've finished it!"
He ran in, clutching a bunch of papers.
"My first short story, I've finished it!"
Y/n coudnt help but smile at how excited Larry looked, she always loved seeing him passionate about the things he loved.
"I'm so proud of you darling." She rushed over to him, giving him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Good, and you should be because I've had to put up with a lot of distractions from you." He chuckled only to resieve a stern look.
"Ooo I know that stare to well." Mrs Durrel chuckled
"NOT that I didn't enjoy those distractions." Larry spoke hurriedly, trying to save himself.
"Darling, I'm just messing with you "
"Oh yes of course." He laughed nervously "Now back to me and my writing."
"Urggh tell it to someone who cares." Margo huffed, getting up.
"You think I want to read that filth." Leslie scoffed from the other room.
Larry turned to his mother only to find her gone and busy cleaning some other part of the house.
"Ah Gerry -"
"No larry he's to young." Y/n laughed pulling him back from trying to find his very his little brother.
Larry looked down, she could tell he was disappointed no one wanted to read it, but his family did often overlook his creative skills.
"Hey, larry ? Look at me? Laryy-"
"I'm going for a walk?" He muttered pushing past her, grabbing his hat and headed out.
Y/n just huffed, she tries to be as supportive of his writing as she could be but it wasn't a messy when the rest of his family seemed to barely care
"Oh what's the matter with him?" Mrs Durrel commented as she saw larry leaving.
"No one seemed to care about his writing! "
"Oh but we do care! We just struggle to understand what it is he's writing about."
"Well please try harder. I'm going to find him." Y/n stated heading out to find the saddened writer.
"Larry! " She called looking around
"I think he's sat down at the beach." Gerry called from up a tree startling y/n.
"Thanks ." She waved back before heading down to the cove, seeing her boyfriend sat on the sand looking grumpy.
"Hey." She said in a cheery way and placing herself next to him, stealing his hat for her own head. Larry just rolled his eyes, trying hide his smile.
"That hats to big for you ya know." He commented trying to sound serious
"I know, but I like it." She smiled back.
The pair sat in comfortable silence and y/n inched herself closer to Larry, there arms touching.
"And what are you up to missy." He questioned with a snicker.
"You know they care about you " She spoke and noticed how his smile dropped.
"They just struggle showing it."
"I know, I just wish they were interested and excited as I was." He sighed.
"But I am! I think your amazing Larry and so talented, one day you'll be a famous writer."
"You think?"
Y/n was used to thia by now. His family rarely saw this side of larry, self-consciousness, and doubtful. Though she always loved to encourage him.
"I don't think , I know." She smiled giving him a kiss.
"Call me an amazing writer again." Larry smirked
"No you've got enough of an ego as it is." Y/n chuckled going stand up only to have her arm grabbed and pulled back down onto Larry's lap, his arms firmly wrapping around her.
"Is this you holding me hostage." She giggled
"Call me an amazing writer again? Please?" He spoke pulling a pouty face.
"Fineee only if you'll let me go then?" She asked earning a nod from him.
"You Laurence Durrel are an amazing writer.:
"Thank you." He smiled and gently kissed her lips, still latching on tightly to her.
"Now let me go!" Y/n laughed as she tried to wriggle free.
"Uh no I don't think I want to." He smirked and y/n gasped sarcastically.
"The betrayal!"
"Oh, shut up." He laughed, falling back onto the sand with y/n lying on top of him.
"I could get used to this." She whispered gazing into his eyes ,linking her hand in his.
"Well, unless your parents turn up to ship you back home,we've got all the time in the world."
The pair smiled as they cuddled on the sand .
"Young love ." Mrs Durrel smiled looking on.
"Looks pretty gross to me.' Margo snickerd
"STOP! I DO NOT NEED TO SEE THAT!" Leslie yelled down at the two making them laugh.
"Just ignore him." Larry chuckled placing a soft kiss on her head.
"Always do." Y/n responded with a smile
"WE HAVE BEDROOMS FOR THAT!"
