#🛒 ; main aisles

[phrynewrites]

oooh how about teachers au + 🛒🧩 and love letter au + ☄️🧃?

These are so good! I really had to sit down and think about these lol

🛒: As much as Bosco would hate to admit it sometimes, Jasmine brings a lot more fun and light into their life, her bubbly personality making them feel like a kid again. Before, they were so serious, so intent on being mysterious and keeping people out. Now they're the type of person who rides on the edge of the shopping cart in Costco, Jasmine pushing them through the aisle of energy drinks, the two laughing wildly.

🧩: When Bosco knows kids are struggling but don't want to open up, they reach into their closet and pull out a puzzle and dump it out, working on it while the student kind of looks at them funny. But soon enough the student sits down and joins them, trying to find the corner pieces and the edges. And by the time they're putting the edge pieces together, usually the student's starting to talk about what's bothering them. Jasmine stole this trick when she moved to elementary, and comes home with her success stories about kids opening up over the nature puzzle, still questioning how Bosco came across this trick, trying to put Bosco and the puzzles together, but appreciating it nonetheless.

☄️: While Bosco is reading Jamsine's manuscript, they're supposed to be reading this high fantasy manuscript instead. But when they're pestered to read it, they really cant' believe it was built up as much as it was. I mean, the main character "defeats" the antagonist only when there's a freak meteor storm? The love story between the protagonist and the sidekick is so weak that Bosco didn't know they were in love until they kissed? They just don't see it for this book, and when they describe it to Jasmine, she doesn't either. Sometimes, when Jasmine's reading through Bosco's comments, transcribing them to send to the agent, she gets side tracked and writes fix-it fanfic about this book. And when she sends it to Bosco, they're a little shocked that Jasmine writes in her free time but think it's actually quite good and they wish Jasmine had written this stupid story instead. If only they knew...

🧃: Although Daya is a menace with a cause in love letter au, she's not a total monster. So when the office is celebrating the successful launch of one of their best selling author's (Willow's) books and the champagne is going around, after a few drinks, Daya switches Bosco's out for sparkling cider when they're not looking. She knows from every happy hour that when Bosco's had enough to drink, they ramble on and on about their crush on Jasmine. And though she'd like to see these two stop dragging their feet and finally get together, she'll still let Bosco figure it out on their own time (within reason).

💅🏻send 🧅 me 🎟 a ship 🚢 an au 🥵 and emojis 👽 and I’ll write ✍️ headcanons 👯‍♀️ based on the emojis 🦑

#honestly menace bosco at happy hour is also becoming an established trope in all my aus #which is totally fine by me tbh #but if Daya wasn't actually a good friend and just let Bosco blurt it out to Jasmine any chance they got #the whole plot of this fic would be a whole lot shorter and Jasmine would have far less stress about The Manuscript (tm) #also about the real manuscript: it's like...not good. #bosco's almost offended that they're being asked to read this when they have some wonderful writing to get to #like why read about this stupid fantasy planet with the hamfisted romance and the humans as antagonists #when The Manuscript has love and loss #and crying in the bath tub #and hope with the spring when the narrator finally gets a girlfriend #and the hope is dashed by that winter #and then she moves to the big city and is overwhelmed and emotionally retreats again #until she's interviewed for this new job and sees someone who intrigues her enough to open up again??? #(we're getting into present territory) #for anon #asks answered #jasco teachers au #jasco love letter au
