👻 🕷 for pumpkin carving with Peter

👻 - Hi lovely! I think you’re awesome! Your blog and masterlist looks really cool! I definitely need to read more of your stuff lovely because it looks so good and we should talk more too! 

🕷 

 Peter would be so excited like bouncing up and down excited

He insists you pick your own pumpkin of course

So you go to a pumpkin patch and you both pick the perfect one 

Peter carries it totally not flexing his super strength 

So now you have your pumpkin and Peter puts on his spoopy playlist

Both of you dancing to Monster Mash as you start carving

Peter ends up doing the thriller dance at some point

Peter plays with the pumpkin guts making you both giggle

He is v protective and careful with the knife 

Disagreements about the face 

“It has to be silly!” 

“No it has to be spooky!” 

Eventually you agree to have two pumpkins with the different faces

Peter tries to be your model for the different faces (mainly to make you laugh) 

He carves the silly pumpkin and you carve the spookier pumpkin

It becomes a competition more between the both of you

He does that little concentration face where his tongue sticks out and you get distracted 

So Peter ends up carving the fastest

Both end up as a disaster but Peter still argues his is better

Proud dorky smiles as you display them outside and light the candles 

Lots of pictures of them and your decorated halloween house

Peter refers to them as your pumpkin children

He totally doesn’t almost cry when you have to get rid of them

Spooky sleepover 🎃

Can I get a 💌 from Peter?

oFC YOU CAN!! 

okay, let's do this thang- 

Dear y/n, 

You're absolutely extraordinary. You're like the sun shining everyday, and even at its' dimmest moments, you manage to make everyone happy. 

Do you love me like I love you? I love you for the person you are, the person you have become and grown throughout your life. I can't believe I got to know you as a person, and I hope you'll return my feelings. 

I can't live without you in my life. You're like oxygen, the sole basis for even living on Earth. Without you, I wouldn't know what to do with myself because you make me feel so happy and content. 

Love, your Peter

I’m sitting in my zoom lecture and all of a sudden your Haz’s hands blurb comes into mind and now I’m blushing like an idiot

omg...that blurb..... yeaaaaaah. I don’t really reread my own stuff, but that blurb...ugh. just his hands........ idk what it is. harrison osterfield just has such a nice set of hands.... I felt this

[duskholland]

So I was listening to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack and I just thought it would be really cute to have a fic where Peter owns a guitar and writes a song for reader to better express his feelings

hahaha can you imagine? I’ve been obsessed with the idea of Tom + guitars ever since we got that clip of him strumming along on the podcast, but Peter + guitars? that’s the softest image ever please. I love that
