Cookies and Cuddles

@flufftober

Prompt: Pillows, plushies, and piles of blankets

Fandom: The Guild Codex: Demonized

Pairing: Robin Page x Zylas et Vh'alyir

~

One thing an illegal demon contractor never expects when she walks into the living room after baking cookies for her demon, is to find him sprawled out all over a pile of pillows on the living room floor.

Zylas' head barely lolled over in her direction so he could look at her with his glowing red eyes.

"...Comfortable?"

He gave a single nod before turning his head back.

"Cookies are done by the way."

He nodded again. She raised an eyebrow. This was unusual. Was he sick? No, demons didn't get sick. It had been pretty cold recently. Perhaps he was feeling weak?

She peeked over. Socks was curled up on his stomach. She stiffled a giggle with her hand. The classic blunder.

"You want me to bring you the cookies?"

Another single nod.

Smiling to herself, she headed to the kitchen to plate the fresh-baked cookies. She carried them back out into the living room, still smiling. However, just as she was about to set the plate on the pillows near him, Zylas grabbed her by the arm and tugged her into the pillow pile.

"Zylas!" she hissed. "I could've spilled cookies everywhere."

"But you did not."

She pursed her lips at him. He reached out and grabbed a cookie, looking her directly in the eyes as he ate it. Not defiantly, just, indifferently. The eyes' equivalent of a shrug. Much like Socks' opening her eyes, only to tuck her head back under.

She rolled her eyes at him and leaned back with the plate in hand.

"I suppose I might as well get comfortable too then."

"Yes." He said decisively, already grabbing another cookie. She put the plate aside, getting one for herself, before something else in the pillow pile caught her eye. She picked up a small teddy bear, turning it over. It looked kind of familiar.

"Robin! All my-" Amalia came into the living room, only to pause at the doorway. "You took my pillows!"

"You did not guard them adequately."

Creation

Marian ∘ "Da' Look, I made something for you."

Strong Wave ∘ "Have you now?"

He carefully reached into his apron pocket for his glasses before turning towards Marian.

Marian ∘ "See? Isn't he cute? It took me three whole seasons, but I think he looks perfect."

She says shyly, holding up the doll for her father's approval.

Strong Wave ∘ "Oh my little sea gem! He is perfect, how clever you are lass!"

His heart swelled with pride as he scooped Marian up into his arms.

Marian ∘ "Will you keep him with you always?"

Strong Wave ∘ "He will forever be at my bedside, I promise."

Thyme - @moonchaser-microfic - wc: 275

Thyme represents courage and strength

“You really don’t have to do this for me,” Remus says again, for what must be the dozenth time since James started editing the TikTok video ten minutes ago. 

“Baby, I’m doing this for us,” James assures him, placing his hands on his husband’s cheeks. “I’m done hiding you from the world. I love you. I want to be with you. I want to hold your hand while we walk down the street and kiss your adorable cheeks in coffee shop queues. You bring me more joy than anything else in this world. Joy like that doesn’t belong behind closed doors.”

“Your fans won’t be happy,” Remus rebuts. 

“Screw ‘em. If they can’t support me being open about the man who makes me happy, then I don’t particularly care for their support.”

Remus bites his lip, taking his time to consider this, before he offers another rebuttal. “Don’t you think you should wait until after the movie is out? Views will be down if you come out now.”

“Nah, scandals increase popularity,” James teases with a wink. “More people will stream it if they’re interested in my personal life. Bunch of little stalkers, they are.”

Quickly, while Remus is busy composing his next argument, James reaches for his phone and clicks ‘Post.’ 

“No turning back now,” he says, flashing his screen toward Remus with a smirk. “I say we have about twenty minutes before the internet blows up. What do you say we make the most of it?” He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively, and Remus sighs in defeat, before bursting into laughter as James tackles him into the couch cushions to snog his brains out.

Jilytober Day 16

Here's my try at today's @jilytoberfest prompt!

October 16th Prompt: 🎶“My words are my faith, to hell with our good name”🎶 - Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy

As the darkened street erupted into chaos, one slim hand closed over Lily's wrist. Another smashed against her mouth and nose, stifling the Body-Bind on her tongue before she could retaliate.

The Death Eaters had known that they were coming.

Her attacker yanked her backwards, shoving her against the wall of the nearest alley. She stared into the cold eyes of the mask.

Lily could barely think — How had they known? — but fought on instinct, stomping on the Death Eater's foot, grabbing her wand with her free hand when he grunted in pain. The sounds of battle ricocheted from the street: Alice firing a quick barrage of hexes, Mad-Eye barking orders, James dueling with bravado, mocking his opponent...

She shoved the wand against the Death Eater's chest and bit his hand, forcing him to draw back from her face. The breathless spell that she gasped out only pushed him back a foot. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook.

"Lily, stop it, stop," the Death Eater whispered. "I'm trying to help you. Look."

He spoke like muggy Augusts and Cokeworth parking lots. He reached for the mask.

"Don't," said Lily, gut churning. "I know who you are. Get off me."

He ignored her, pushing them further into the shelter of the alley. "Lily, why are you here?" said Severus Snape, speaking urgently in a clipped, hushed tone. "Listen. No, listen. You can still back out. Nobody here knows your name, except for me. You won't get hurt if you keep your head down...the Muggle-borns who go along will be alright..."

He continued in a quick monologue, as though he were racing to get out every word, but all Lily could comprehend was the sickly brightness of curses illuminating his masked face. "You're out of your mind," she said flatly.

"I'm out of my mind? Me?" he spat in return. "Which one of those bastards recruited you? Was it Potter? Doesn't he care...doesn't he realize how dangerous..."

"Dangerous, because your people will kill us?"

Snape was silent. Lily laughed. "What, nothing to say?"

"You should run," he said quietly. "Forget him. Forget all of them. I can help you..."

"I'm not the one of us who betrays her friends, Sev," Lily replied coldly. She lifted her left hand, making sure he saw the ring there. "I don't break vows, either, for the record."

Snape's hands clenched into fists. From the brawl in the street, Lily heard a familiar voice cry out in pain. James.

There wasn't time to waste on this game. "Petrificus Totalus," Lily hissed, shoving Snape back against the opposite wall, stiff. "And by the way," she said, seething, "James and I don't give a damn if your Death Eater friends learn our names. Let them come for us. We're fighting back."

Then, leaving Snape behind, Lily threw herself into the fray.

“Well, you definitely made my night better.” Elisa greeted him with a thin smile. Goliath was concerned at that. “What has-” The gargoyle cut himself off at scent change coming from his love.

Goliath leaned closer to Elisa and sniffed her a bit, he could smell a tinge of copper around her but not in one that would put him in panic like when Broadway accidentally shot her with her gun when playing with it, he was sure the princess experienced this before at least two or three times. He blinked in realization, “You are menstruating.” He said sounding like he was confirming something.

Elisa blinked in surprise at that, “You got that from my smell?” She asked him incredulously. “I have experienced this with the princess at least two or three times in my time around her before the curse.” He explained simply to her.
