Pardon

I realized that Martin is probably always getting Lecrinn out of trouble so here's more platonic martinhok shenanigans, this time with Baurus and Jauffre.

@druidx @babyblueetbaemonster @inkysqueed

---------

            Martin stepped out into the Cloud Ruler courtyard-Baurus close behind-for some fresh air and the view of the crystalline sky.

            At running steps, Baurus whipped towards them, concern setting in. “What’s wrong?”

            A Redguard woman ran behind him and Martin. “Save me!”

            “From what?”

            “Lecrinn!”

            They all jumped.

            Jauffre stomped up, Martin taking a step to meet him. “Lecrinn has been pardoned of all her crimes.”

            “She committed more.”

            He looked nervous. “Then she’s pardoned again.”

            “She went on a spree across Bruma, robbing inns and bakeries of hundreds of desserts.”

            Martin looked back at her, she giving a guilty grin. He looked concerned before facing forward and down, considering. “Well, then…” looking up, he bolded his voice to sound confident, “we reimburse the inns and bakeries.”

            “All of them?” he asked flatly.

            “Yes.”

            He looked over the three, Martin remained unwavering, Baurus tried not to smirk as he looked impressed by how he’d handled it, and Lecrinn just looked smug. He sighed, there wasn’t much he could do now that the would-be-emperor decreed it, so he sulked off to go take care of it.

            Once he was gone, Martin turned to Lecrinn. “Hundreds of desserts? Was that really necessary?”

            She looked off nervously. “Some kids looked sad, so I decided to cheer them up… along with the… entire rest of the poor community.”

            “Ah,” he smiled, “a noble goal then.”

            “And what have you been hiding behind your back this whole time?” Baurus asked knowingly.

            Martin looked confused, having not noticed.

            Smirking back, she pulled out a sweetcake. “I thought the three of us could share this one.”

            “Thank you,” said Martin, “but I don’t feel it’d be right for me to eat something stolen.”

            “It’s not,” her smile widened, “you just paid for it.”

            Baurus smirked at him. “She has you there.”

            He laughed. “All right then.”

Kiss ask game for #11? Please?

11. A kiss... in joy shameless thiefguard bc i love criminal/law ships

Stumbling out of the Newlands Lodge, Lecrinn felt Garrus crash into her before her other senses tailed behind.

"Garrus..." She remembered slipping around the back of Ohtimbar's house, towards Llevana Nedaren's when something sharp had pricked into her back. "Where's the others? Where's Rann, Praelyn, and Reptilious?"

"They're fine." Garrus knew she would worry about others before herself. "But they'll be expecting a report on you shortly enough."

"Oh." It was about all that she could muster, given how pain and nausea still peppered her body. Garrus was singlehandedly supporting her upright, she figured, and he was doing so both gently and firmly. Lecrinn was glad, really, the world kept spinning from whatever poison had been injected into her--

"You shouldn't have walked out of the Lodge so soon." Garrus said as he lead her back inside. "We don't know who tried to poison you... so far there's no--" Ever the gentleman, Garrus ignored his own surprise and braced Lecrinn in a hug after she had closed the gap in a single deft step.

Garrus's eyes were half-lidded after. "Lecrinn...."

"I'm not gonna poison you with a kiss." Lecrinn giggled softly. She could feel her face was flushed. "I'm only happy to see you're okay too."

At the very least, Garrus's was too. "I- I knew that... but even as a guardsman I'm in far less danger than you."

Lecrinn sighed heavily and leaned on Garrus, too sickly to care whether others noticed. "It's not about who's in more danger..."

A shy smile peaked onto Garrus's face as he leaned towards her. "...it's about how we've both come out alive." The guard then was to be the thief today-- for he stole a second kiss from Lecrinn right in the entrance of the Lodge.

day 1 of fully recovering from dental work, it's time for some indulgent shipping as it involves thiefguard im obligated to tag @hannah-heartstrings

(probably) non-canon sillies under the cut >:D

Garrus was a respectable man, Guilbert thought, and so he hoped the guardsman would not mind if he kept him company. It was a lovely morning in Cheydinhal anyway, too beautiful to waste inside. The river babbled quietly under bridges and greenery seemed to rustle as both men strolled the town. "Things have been peaceful here since you moved away," Garrus said with a nod. "Most troublemakers now think twice." Guilbert nodded back, smiling brightly. "It's because you and Lecrinn make such a wonderful team! Who would dare mess with the captain of the guard and his daedra-slaying friend?" His smile slowly faded, however, when he noticed what appeared to be Garrus grimacing. "Did I say something wrong?" "No, I just..." "Is Lecrinn hurt?" Guilbert was clenching his hands nervously now. "No! Gods no, she's as spry as ever. It's just... how do you manage it?" "Manage what?" Guilbert blinked. He wasn't entirely sure what he was managing to do. "She-- Miraina loves you. And you're comfortable around each other..." Garrus brushed some of his hair back as his hand ran through it. He sighed. "I want something like that with Lecrinn too." Guilbert's smile returned. "The four of us aren't so different there-- Miraina and I have a friendship built on trust and a touch of danger--" He stopped when Garrus began to look at him as if he had sprouted two more heads. "...what?" "You don't know do you?" Garrus's voice was light and unmistakably horrified. "Guilbert--" Guilbert was beginning to panic. "What do I not know? Has something happened?" Garrus kept staring at him. "Guilbert, I- I thought you knew. I thought you knew Miraina's madly in love with you. Romantic love, my good man!" It was now Guilbert's turn to stare at Garrus. "..what?" "I thought you two were lovers!!" Garrus finally cried, wringing his hands harmlessly. Guilbert swallowed. His face felt warm now. "...Miraina's in love with me?" He watched as Garrus, proud and tall, seemed to deflate with a sigh. He barely caught what the guard captain said. "...Is this what I sounded like to the rest of the guard?"

Made With Love (WIP Wednesday)

Thanks for the tags, @inkysqueed and @babyblueetbaemonster! Tagging you back, along with @druidx

This is the intro to a fic that's probably a ways off (if ever 😅) because most of it's a conversation between Lecrinn and Dervera and I don't know what they should talk about.

---------

            Lecrinn’s fingers drummed along the counter as she stared off in thought.

            “Need a drink?” asked the innkeeper, Dervera.

            “No.”

            She looked past Lecrinn to the door, but her gaze kept shifting back to the drumming fingers, growing more and more annoyed.

            Mouth pulling to the side, Lecrinn looked almost nervous.

            “I wouldn’t tell anyone if I saw you take someone to your room.”

            Fingers freezing, her eyes snapped to Dervera. “What?”

            “Look, you’re not giving me much to go off of here.”

            She sighed, “It’s Garrus.”

            Dervera’s face remained neutral. “Uh huh.”

            “He hasn’t been eating and he’s being stubborn, but I figure,” she smirked, “that were I to make him something he wouldn’t be able to let my hard work go to waste.”

            “Sounds like a solid plan,” she said plainly, but looked a little suspicious as to where this was going.

            Smirk dropping into a nervous smile, she looked down. “Only problem is, I really only know the cooking basics.”

            Dervera gave a casual smile. “Well luckily all you need to cook are the basics and a good recipe.”

            “…Would you have a recipe for something like an ash yam pie?” her eyes turned up to her, hopeful. “He really likes ash yams.”

            She considered. “I do, I’d write it down for you, but I’m getting the feeling that you’re about to go until you’ve found a way to rope me into helping you.”

            Lecrinn smiled sweetly. “I could pay you.”

            Her eyes narrowed as she thought. “Yeah sure, I’ll fall for that,” she said casually resigned. “It’s a slow hour anyway, come on.” She headed into the kitchen, Lecrinn silently cheering before following.

Bad Day

Garrus can always tell when Lecrinn is having a bad, even when she's the Mad God.

@druidx @babyblueetbaemonster @inkysqueed

---------

            It was a seemingly normal day in the Mad Court, Lecrinn ruling from her throne of Garrus’s lap.

But he could tell something was wrong, her expression was harder than usual, her voice sharper, and her patience thinner. “Perhaps we should take a break?” he offered.

            “I told you I’m fine!” Ah yes, and her attitude snappier.

            “But you have been at it for a while, and no one’s here right now.”

            She rambled on a protest, getting cut off as he hefted her up into his arms. “Hey!”

            “Haskill, can you take care of things for a while?”

            “I always do, sir.”

            “Thank you.” Standing, he walked off with Lecrinn.

            She narrowed her eyes up at Garrus. “I could smite you, you know.”

            “I’m aware.”

            Once they were up the stairs and down the hall, her annoyance had eased to a smirk. “Carrying away a Daedric Prince, have you gone mad?”

            “I must’ve gotten it from you.”

            Her voice grew quiet and sincere. “Thank you, Garrus.”

            He looked down. She was smiling sadly up at him, her eyes glowing more than usual, he soon realized the gold was reflecting off tears rimming her eyes. She’d been having a bad day and just couldn’t admit it. He returned the look and tone. “Anytime, my love.”

            Her smile widened before her gaze shifted to the corner of her eye. When the smile fell, she quickly put on a flirty smirk, looking back at him. “So what are you planning on doing with me?”

            “Whatever you want.”

            “You carried me off without a plan?”

            “The plan was to stop you from working.”

            She gave a quick laugh. “You really did get it from me.” A moment later, the smile fell flat. “So…” her voice cracked. She finally let all the pretenses drop with a sigh. “Can I just cuddle you and cry?”

            “Of course!”

            She tried to smile but her lips shook, eyes welling up.

            His heart panged. Luckily, they were almost there. He glanced up. “Can you get the door?”

            Without bothering to look, she waved a hand, the door swinging open. As he stepped through, it swung back closed.

Random HoK siblings snip because I just wrote it and want to share.

@druidx @babyblueetbaemonster @inkysqueed

------

            The party peeked around the corner, seeing their enemy.

            “We should attack him while his back is still turned,” Lecrinn whispered.

            Reptilious looked annoyed at her. “You have no honor, do you?”

            “I’m the team thief, it’s what I’m for.”

I am once again working on Steal Away. I just wrote the last paragraph here and don't entirely feel awake, so it might need editing XD:

            “I can’t just abandon my post every time you want something.”             “Uh huh,” her smirk widened.             He looked forward with an annoyed huff, knowing full well he’d do whatever she asked. He looked to her from the corner of his eye-staring ahead with a bubbly smirk. He smiled softly, knowing full well he wouldn’t mind.
