Late Night Flirts and Mischief
A silly little one shot where you find an ominous letter (in amusingly familiar handwriting and purple glitter pen) urging you out of your security office in the daycare on Valentines night... Only to discover a moonlit surprise!
Implies queerplatonic/romantic Sun/Moon x Y/N - Moon is the only one openly shown here!
The daycare was never truly quiet.
Even after closing, after the last child had been picked up and the lights had dimmed to their nighttime glow, the place hummed with a strange kind of life. Plastic balls shifted softly in the pit when the air vents kicked on. The jungle gym creaked every so often as if remembering the weight of a hundred climbing kids. Somewhere, faint music from the pizzaplex speakers filtered through the walls like a lullaby that had forgotten its melody.
You sat in the small security office tucked into the corner of the daycare, staring at the monitor bank and sipping from a cup of lukewarm vending machine cocoa.
Valentine’s Night shift. Lucky you.
The other staff had teased you earlier before leaving.
“Better watch out,” one of them joked. “Maybe the animatronics will bring you chocolate.”
“Or a restraining order,” another added.
You’d laughed it off, but now, alone in the office with the monitors casting pale light across the desk, the joke felt a little less funny.
Tap.
You blinked.
Tap… tap.
Your eyes dropped to the desk.
A folded piece of paper had appeared beside your keyboard.
You were certain it hadn’t been there a moment ago.
Slowly, you picked it up.
The envelope was… decorated.
Purple glitter pen swirled across the front in dramatic loops and stars. Tiny hearts dotted the corners like someone had gone a little overboard with the stationery drawer.
The handwriting looked weirdly familiar.
Inside was a short message:
Dear Night Guard,
Working on Valentine’s Night? How tragic!
Come to the play structure. The lights look lovely tonight.
Don’t keep me waiting.
A special surprise awaits you.
At the bottom was a crescent moon drawn in glittery purple ink.
You stared at it.
“…You’ve got to be kidding me.”
The daycare cameras flickered on the monitors behind you. The ball pit. The slide tower. The rope bridges.
Empty.
Still.
Quiet.
You glanced back at the letter.
The handwriting…
It looked suspiciously like something Moon might write if he had access to craft supplies and far too much free time.
You leaned back in your chair.
“Okay,” you muttered to the empty room. “This is either a prank… or I’m about to get murdered by a daycare attendant.”
After a moment of debate—and admittedly a lot of curiosity—you stood up.
The daycare lights were dimmed into their nighttime configuration as you stepped out of the office. Soft blue bulbs along the walls cast gentle shadows across the play structures, and the skylight above the jungle gym let pale moonlight spill through the glass ceiling.
The giant play structure towered over the room like a colorful maze.
You looked around.
“Hello?”
No response.
The ball pit shifted quietly as you walked past it. The plastic spheres rolled around your shoes with hollow clacks.
You reached the ladder leading up to the play structure.
The letter crinkled in your pocket.
“Well,” you sighed, starting to climb. “If I die, I’m haunting whoever wrote this.”
The rope bridge creaked as you crossed it. The tubes above you twisted like a labyrinth of plastic tunnels.
Moonlight filtered through the ceiling windows, illuminating sections of the structure in silver patches.
You climbed higher.
And higher.
Until you reached the top platform.
It was strangely beautiful up there.
The daycare stretched out below you in soft darkness. The moon shone brightly through the skylight, casting long beams of light across the play structures and slides.
For a moment, you just stood there, taking it in.
Then—
A soft jingle.
You froze.
You knew that sound.
The faint chiming bells.
Slowly, you looked up.
Something moved in the shadows above the platform.
Two glowing red eyes blinked open.
Moon hung upside down from the rafters above you, his long limbs curled around the metal bars like a bat.
You nearly screamed.
Instead, what came out was a very undignified, “OH—!”
Moon’s face tilted curiously.
“Oh,” he hummed softly, voice smooth and sing-song. “You came.”
He slowly lowered himself, dangling upside down until his face hovered just inches from yours.
The bells on his hat jingled faintly.
Your brain tried very hard to catch up with the situation.
“You wrote the letter,” you said.
Moon smiled.
“I did.”
“…With purple glitter pen.”
“Yes.”
“Why do you have purple glitter pen?”
Moon’s grin widened.
“I have many secrets.”
You stared at him.
He stared back.
Then he gently tapped your forehead with one long finger.
“You are supposed to say thank you.”
“For…?”
Moon gestured dramatically at the moonlit daycare around you.
“For the ambiance.”
You looked around.
The moonlight streaming through the skylight did make the entire place look strangely magical.
“…Okay,” you admitted. “It is kinda nice.”
Moon nodded proudly.
“Yes.”
You folded your arms.
“But you dragged me out of my office for this?”
Moon leaned closer, eyes glinting.
“No.”
Before you could react, he gently hooked one foot around the railing and swung slightly closer, bringing his upside-down face directly in front of yours.
Your brain finally caught up.
“Oh my—”
Moon lightly pressed a quick kiss to your lips.
Upside down.
Just like something out of a cheesy movie.
It lasted about half a second before he swung back up again like nothing had happened.
You blinked.
Once.
Twice.
“…Did you just—”
Moon rocked gently from the rafters, looking extremely pleased with himself.
“Happy Valentine’s Night,” he said.
You stared at him in stunned silence.
Then you groaned and covered your face.
“You cannot just ambush people with upside-down kisses!”
Moon tilted his head.
“Why not?”
“Because that’s insane!”
“It worked.”
You pointed accusingly at him.
“You wrote a glitter letter!”
“Yes.”
“You lured me into the jungle gym!”
“Yes.”
“You hung from the ceiling like a vampire!”
Moon considered that.
“…I prefer ‘theatrical.’”
You dropped your hands and sighed.
“…You are impossible.”
Moon floated slightly closer again, still upside down.
“And yet,” he said softly, “you came.”
You tried very hard not to smile.
It didn’t work.
“…You owe me chocolate for this.”
Moon’s eyes lit up mischievously.
“Oh.”
He reached into the folds of his outfit and pulled out a small wrapped candy.
You stared.
“You actually brought chocolate?”
Moon placed it in your hand.
“Of course.”
He paused.
Then added proudly—
“I planned the whole evening.”
You laughed despite yourself, standing there on the moonlit play structure with a mischievous animatronic dangling upside down in front of you.
“Next time,” you said, “just knock on the office door.”
happy women's day to the afabs/otherwise biological women that do not want to be women
can include, but is not limited to; genderfluids, transmascs, enbies, agenders, and literally anyone else that has to bear the misfortune of a menstrual cycle
...hoo boy here we go.
tags will be quotes tied to the kin!
these will be sorted by source for viewing ease :D
(and sources will be sorted alphabetically)
and yes, noli is on here not one, not two, but three times. these kins are diverse enough from one another for me to consider them separate, as due to their depictions, each have their own stories.

I’m telling this story again b/c fuck it but anyways I was playing D&D and one of my friends went “brown bear brown bear what do you see” and on cue three of us turn to him and like, death metal screech “ALLLL”.
The dude goes completely pale faced. I saw true horror in his eyes.
He didn’t know the joke.
So apparently dude just had three of his best friends demonically screech at him for no goddamn reason.
I do not think I will ever cause that level of sheer terror and confusion ever again in my life.
go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish
Plant Life is a Life Series Season for fans, by fans! @pinkish29 and @fifthhaemony are using their combined forces of art and writing to hopefully bring you a fun fanmade season for all fans of Life Series SMP to enjoy!

SO, HOW DOES PLANT LIFE WORK?:
Plant Life is... Well... 3rd Life but all the Lifers are Plant hybrids! Lifers go through the same aggression in each life, but the physical appearance of the Lifers changes as well!
(No, we will not be using Minecraft skins for the series. It's only an example.)
This project will be shown through photos, comics, and short animations! Check on this blog every once in a while to see who the winner of Plant Life will be!
Want to make fanart or fanfiction? Tag us and use the tag #plantlifesmpfanart and you may get a response from one of the two members of this blog!

#plantlifesmpcontent = any comics, photos, and other stuff made officially by Plant Life! (Who knows if it's canonical or a red herring?)
#plantlifesmpjokes = things that are noncanonical, but not throw-you-off kind of noncanonical, stuff that's so unimportant to the lore that we have to tag it, just in case someone takes it for real!
