It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s chapter 10 of ‘The Blacksmith And The Baker’s Son’!
Read it now on AO3
Update update!
Y’know I was expecting this chapter to be maybe 10k words but I just now decided to introduce a subplot.
We’re at like 6k words as of right now and i’m not even halfway done
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
anyway here’s a random middle fluff section because the beginning is very dramatic and heavy
“We still have a whole other thing to find,” John said, propping himself back up.
“Oh yeah. What was it again? Some kind of potion?”
“A potion stolen from a gravedigger’s mound,” John said, rolling off Dave to go and find the map.
“Any idea what the fuck that is?” Dave asked, sitting up.
“Nope. MM didn’t really do that potion stuff, and even if he did, it’s super complicated, so he never would have taught me,” John said, rifling through Dave’s bag before eventually finding it. He launched himself back on the bed, sitting next to Dave. He rolled out the map so it was over both of their laps. Dave rested his chin on John’s shoulder, which was probably very uncomfortable for him, but John didn’t mind.
“So we’re here,” John said, pointing at the little doodle of fire.
“What are other words for gravedigger?” Dave asked, “maybe it’s like the name of a town. Or a hill.” John shrugged.
“Uh…undertaker?”
“Toumbmaker.”
“Dave,” John said, turning his head to him slightly, “I have literally never heard anyone use that word in my life.”
“Sure you have,” Dave said seriously, “I used it like half a second ago. Come on, Egbert, keep up.” John snorted, rolling his eyes.
“You’re ridiculous,” he said, going back to the map.
“You love me anyway,” Dave said, nuzzling the side of John’s face a little.
“Don’t push your luck,” John replied, shoving Dave in the chest a little. Dave gasped in mock horror.
“Oh no, this is how relationships end, isn’t it?” He said dramatically putting the back of his hand to his forehead, “one minute its the honeymoon period, the next you’re sitting there wondering how you lost their heart-“
“I’m pretty sure we’re still in the honeymoon period,” John interrupted. Dave continued like he hadn’t said anything.
“John, baby, darling, honey, bacon boy,” Dave cried, grabbing onto John’s waist, “please, tell me what I did wrong, how can I ever make you forgive me?”
“Dave! You’re going to rip the map!” John cried, but the effect was somewhat spoiled by the fact he was laughing. Dave starting leaning backwards, pulling John down so he was lying. He rolled on top of John, his elbows either side of John’s head. John dropped the map, settling for his hands on Dave’s sides.
“Hi,” he said quietly.
“Hi,” Dave responded. John bit his lip and was quiet a while, just looking at Dave. Slowly, he leaned up, tilting his head to the side, and-
Someone knocked on the door.

What are some tropes/writing habits that drive you guys nuts?
I absolutely HATE using the word ‘smirk’. If anyone in a fanfic smirks I fucking loose my shit. It’s my least favourite thing, reading it, writing it, I just hate it.
I also hate it when people refer to the other half of the pair as ‘the other’. I don’t know why that grinds my gears so much but it does.
Let me know in the replies things that you hate in fanfics
Yep, still alive!
If you’re still following this, thank you SO MUCH for your patience. I know it’s been a long time, but if you’re still invested in the story (and hopefully you are) I’m setting myself a CONCRETE DEADLINE for Chapter 10, which will go up on the 18th of May!
Save the date guys, and thanks so much for keeping up with tbatbs <3 <3 <3

After the long wait, Chapter 9 of The Blacksmith and the Baker’s Son is now up! Read it on AO3!
Exams are Over, Reports are Out, and I am back in IA Hell!
But that doesn’t mean you guys don’t get a little sneak preview!
“Dave watched the burning in the distance. He watched the flames leap up and lick at the sky, watched the silhouette of the great thing hovering impossibly lightly in the air, watched the little village and tin bell go down in a gentle heap. He watched, out of the corner of his eye, John gently drop off to sleep, and stir with nightmares. He watched as the teary eyed girls slumped over onto each other, watched a younger one crawl onto his lap and pass out, sucking on her thumb. He watched the light slowly come up over the mountain, the early morning light mixing with the still smouldering ruins. He watched the thing, finally satisfied with its work, disappear behind the range with a single beat of its enormous wings.
It still set his teeth on edge, how close John had been to that thing. Go! Go to the lake! He’s not dead, idiot, stop thinking about it. He realised, with a heavy weight in his gut, that John could have died. He avoided (Go!) thinking about it.”
