Good Old-fashioned Lover Boy: A Snowbaz Au

I wrote this for the @carry-on-big-bang 2023, and I was paired with the wonderful @artsyunderstudy who made an amazing piece of art to pair with my fic!!! 

Title: Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy Status:   Teens+,  5k,  1/? chapters Tags:  Canon divergent, watford era, final 8th year, fake dating, pining, angst, fluff, falling in love

Summary:   With his final year starting off with the Mage trying to send him away and attempting to potentially kill his roommate, Simon Snow comes up with the best plan he can. Fake dating his roommate.

Except:   

“…I’m sorry, can you repeat that?” I ask.  

“Don’t make me say that again.” He mumbles, looking down at his eyes, avoiding eye contact at all costs. 

But I need confirmation. I need to know what he actually said. “No, I need you to repeat it. You see, I must have had a momentary blimp in my sanity because I thought you said that you thought we should date.” I force out a dead, humourless chuckle. 

“Fake dating.” He corrects.

Thanks for the tags @orange-peony & @fatalfangirl 😘❤️

I’ve been playing in other fandoms to see if I can cure my writer’s block. Okay and yes I know I wrote and posted something new this week but I’m super blocked on all my snowbaz longfics.

Under the break for spice.

From a Red, White, and Royal Blue fanfic set in canon-verse, this is an AU where Henry steps away from royal life shortly before what would have been cakegate. He moves to Paris where he starts a sex club called Surrender and Alex, aimless after his mom’s failed reelection, seeks their services.

Alex signs his name on the last page of his intake form and stares at the blue ink as it dries. There was a time, three years and some odd months ago, when he used to think his signature might one day codify laws. Executive orders.

Something more lofty than confirming his need to be tied up and spanked.

Ah, how the mighty, he thinks with a wry grin, folding the papers back up and stuffing them into the manilla envelope. He brings the packet to the reception desk. “Do I cover my eyes now or later?”

And from a Captive Prince fanfic, which I’ve mostly spent plotting and not writing, a modern royalty AU, enemies with benefits turned fake dating when compromising photographs surface from one of Damen and Laurent’s trysts:

Laurent’s eyes rolled back in his head, but not in pleasure. “If I come,” he said, like his heart wasn’t racing beneath Damen’s palm, “then it’ll be despite you, not for you.”

He came all the same and like always: eyes fluttering shut for the briefest of seconds, mouth slightly parted. A tiny gasp before spend painted Damen’s stomach.

It was the most emotion Laurent ever revealed during their hookups.

[fatalfangirl]

Thank you everyone who has tagged me for Six Sentence Sunday, you are lovely people with lovely words. Since I do not have anything shareable today, I decided to take a page out of @captain-aralias's book and share six fic recs instead. Below we have a mix of new, not-so-new, and new-to-me:

In A Bind - NSFW - by @im-gettingby

I read this ages ago, but I recently thought of it again and realized I never recommended it. @im-gettingby writes some of my favorite smut. Their characterization is always so good and it plays into the sex of this bondage fic perfectly. The way Simon takes control is incredible hot, as is the way Baz's walls come down. Very them, extremely sexy, and worth multiple reads.

A Pint's a Pound - NSFW - by @stillmadaboutpetra

I love @stillmadaboutpetra's brain. It is a work of art. Every single fic I've read from them is 100000 out of 10, and this raunchy bakery AU is no exception. Here we have deranged pastry chef Baz, stressed baker Simon, and a downtown Watford that isn't (is) big enough for the both of them. Every chapter is like you favorite sweet covered in crack. You will hoover this shit up. Hilarious in a way that makes you say "WOW" and hot to boot. So good.

5 Days, 5 Nights, All-Inclusive - SFW - by RooBadley

What a treat, Roo is. This fic is kick-your-legs-as-you-roll-in-bed-and-squeal levels of enjoyment. Featuring the infamous singles tour of Magickal Britain, this get-together later in life fic takes us to a haunted Tesco (excuse me, Tesco Extra), crystal caves, castle ruins, and a hotel room featuring a statement bathtub. Roo's banter is so goddamn good and the development of Simon and Baz's relationship is sweet and savory. It goes down easy, so eat up.

Out Of This World - SFW - by @mostlymaudlin

I 👏 love 👏 this 👏 fic! Baz works retail and Simon is a weird (but hot) customer in this sci-fi short story that has heart and laughs and a very memorable scene involving cutting spaghetti with a butter knife. As someone who worked retail, this fic hit me with unexpected nostalgia and I pictured the entire thing taking place at the Club Monaco in my local mall. It's amazing how much story there is in only 2.5k. Quirky, cute, and perfectly titled.

How to Avoid a Scandal - SFW - by @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

Fake-dating friends-to-lovers with a side of hollywood! Baz and Simon are the stars of the hit series The World of Mages who end up in a fake relationship in order to counter the threat of a different relationship scandal. The way the fic plays with canon elements in both the main storyline and the CW-esque show is really clever, and I LOVE the celebrity element. It's fun, it's cute, it's smart, and it has the best fake ship name for snowbaz.

(Also if fake relationships are your jam - check out Unintended from @captain-aralias. Includes engagement rings, a cool family magic plot point, kisses that come with convenient excuses, and Shepard-the-wise.)

What's Left - NSFW - by @cutestkilla

This fic lives in my bones. It is one with my marrow. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when it's over. This now the third time I've included this in my recs, but I people are sleeping on it, so I'm going to continue to scream about it in hopes more folks will bite. The plot revolves around the In(Sid)ious Humdrum and Baz teaming up to hunt down the Mage after he killed Simon at the White Chapel, and it takes us through an emotional and extremely well crafted journey that explores grief, love, guilt, and forgiveness - all served up with a side of choice pop culture nods. It is top tier. One of the best fics I've read.

And there we have it!

See you, space cowboy.

#fic rec #six sentence sunday #but not really #thank you for all you do fandom authors #these fics have helped me out on shitty days #this is getting sappy but I’m really grateful for this community

[you-remind-me-of-the-babe]

Either/Or

I am so late on this, but thank you for the tags ages ago @martsonmars @aristocratic-otter @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @johnwgrey Here are my preferences:

slow burn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt-comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high school romance or middle aged romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates  // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or gender bend // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane

Most of my choices have to do with the fact that I like conflict and interesting plots with my fics. Also big on getting together fics. Give me a story I can fall into and get obsessive over! More thoughts below if that interests you:

slow burn or love at first sight // Give me the conflict! Give me a little angst! I do like mutual attraction at first sight if there’s still conflict involved (thinking of For the Turtles by @whatevertheweather) where they are both hot for each other but are full on panicking at the idea of approaching the other/doing anything about it. Yes, please!

fake dating or secret dating // I don’t know that I’ve read a lot of secret dating, but fake dating stands out because there’s usually conflict and plot involved. There’s a reason they are fake dating that sets it all in motion!

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // Both good! Canon is enemies to lovers so how could I not like it? But also everyone knows I very much live for friends to lovers, too and the agony that is mutually pining whole not wanting to ruin this relationship they love.

oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // I love only one bed because of the tension it provides. But I also love a good text fic, so I suppose both are good!

hurt-comfort or amnesia // I have only read a few amnesia and they are generally good (I adore We Were Always More by @captain-aralias and @facewithoutheart) but I can see the trope getting a little monotonous if I just devoured a bunch of them (unless they were set in different AUs. I’ve actually got a modern 50 First Dates Snowbaz AU that lives rent free in my head…) but I guess hurt-comfort is more broad as a category and thus provides more options, which is why it wins here.

fantasy au or modern au // Like I said, I like a good complex plot, which fantasy usually provides, but I think there’s just more options for modern AUs in CO fics, so that’s my only reason for picking it here.

mutual pining or domestic bliss // I like domestic bliss just fine when I’m in the mood, but like I said I tend to read more plotty/angsty/conflict heavy/getting together fics so mutual pining is chef’s kiss for this.

smut or fluff // There’s some great fluff out there, but I tend to think of fluff as being short and not plot heavy, (which smut can sometimes be, too). But I think for something with out plot I’d prefer pwp. For plotty fics I think I love when fluff or smut are in the mix.

canon-compliant or fix-it // I adore canon so I usually don’t seek out fics that attempt to fix what’s there. There are some exceptions. I do like fics that address, say, Baz’s coffin trauma that gets dismissed/glossed over in canon. And I love canon-divergent AUs that play with that world but explore things differently.

reincarnation or character death // Look, I love angst, but if you’re going to permanently kill of one of my boys that might be too much for me. But reincarnation reminds me (again) of something plot-heavy, so gimme!

one-shot or multi-chapter // I think I tend to read one-shots more often because my tbr list is sooo long and I get a sense of satisfaction to finishing something in one sitting and checking it off my list. But! Getting super invested and lost in a good multi-chap?! Nothing like it!

kid fic or road trip fic // I have read some good fics in both categories but I don’t think I seek these out often. But! If an author I like writes one, or if a summary of one is compelling, I’ll pick it. It’s all about the context I guess. Examples of kid fics I adore include The Dragon, The Sword and The Knight by @martsonmars and How I wonder what your are by @nightimedreamersworld and also everyone’s favorite road trip fic Fading West by @tea-brigade. (I like how i didn’t pick either because I claim I don’t seek these out and yet I have three fics I’m obsessed with that I recommend here lol. I repeat, it’s all about context!)

high school romance or middle aged romance // I love a good Watford era AU, but I don’t think I would be as eager to read a modern high school AU. [There are exceptions of course. We Used to be Friends (AKA Mean-o-ween) by @facewithoutheart my beloved.] But I adore a good they meet later in life story. Yes, please!

time travel or isolated together // Time travel (or like different timelines, too) stands out because it sounds like the more plot heavy of the two. Though I’ve read some great isolated together fics (and wrote one myself I quite like!)

neighbors or roommates  // I think both are great. Put those boys in close proximity so things can happen!

sci-fi au or magic au // I like magic/fantasy a bit more in general, though both are good. I like the idea of fics that play with different magic systems than canon.

body swap or gender bend // I’ve only read a few fics in each category but I liked them all!

angst or crack // Angst all the way, hurt me please. I love humor in fics, but I tend to think crack will be too absurd. Though I have read some great ones so it sort of depends on the premise/who’s writing it/if I read some snippets and liked it.

apocalyptic or mundane // Apocolyptic might be pushing the angst to the extreme. I like angst but i need a happy ending.

Has anyone not done this yet? Tagging everyone above if you haven’t shared and would like to and also @raenestee @prettyaudvampyscones if you guys would like to share, too (absolutely no pressure, only if you want to!)

Either or

I got tagged by @martsonmars

slow burn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt-comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high school romance or middle aged romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbours or roommates  // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or gender bend // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane

Under the cut, because I also decided to go nuts with explanations.

slow burn or love at first sight

Marta, I fully agree with everything that you wrote in your post. I think the best way I’ve ever heard it, is when The Good Place said “If soulmates do exist, they're not found, they're made”, I felt that. Or I guess I did. Another reason why love at first sight doesn’t do it for me is my aro ass just cannot relate to any kind of romantic attraction, but especially not “I see a person and I am in love!” story. Not to say that I don’t enjoy them (heck, I’ve written this trope), but slow burn is an easy choice.

fake dating or secret dating

Fake dating can be a lot of fun and I am very much looking forward to more of @captain-aralias‘s Unintended, but I like the extra layer of secret dating, especially when it isn’t very clear from the beginning. Or even if it IS, and you just want to know how this will unfold (like the Klaine fic Rivalmance).

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers 

Once again in line with that quote from The Good Place: I like the idea of a relationship forming over time and friendship is a good base. Once again, I don’t hate Enemies to Lovers (like, I ship Snowbaz and Firstprince), but I am all for the Growth! 

oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence

Okay, this might be kind of cheating? Why? Well, because I, uh, don’t think I’ve ever actually read an “there’s only one bed” fic. Shocking, I know. I just know of the trope, like everyone does. It’s just that long-distance correspondence doesn’t appeal me as a standalone. I mean, if it is part of a series like Crescendos in The Symphony Verse, but otherwise.... hm..... I don’t know. I do like epistolary and online identities etc. (GOD I WONDER WHAT FIC LED TO THAT CONCLUSION), but again, assuming these tropes are all for standalone fics, I gotta go for the classics.

hurt-comfort or amnesia 

Amnesia is a trope that I never got. That is the main reason I wrote my Myosotis series, to explore a trope I don’t particulary like. But that’s mostly because it feels like a “been there, done that” thing, you know? Predictability does not make a bad story, but most of the time it follows a formula. Hurt-comfort on the other hand is A Lot, including amnesia. Give me the angst.

fantasy au or modern au 

I dig both, but in the end I just prefer the Relatability a modern au offers over the Escapism from fantasy au. But overall, it depends on the fandom. I like reading fics in settings that make sense, so I actually prefer magic over non-magickal for Carry On fics, and on the same vein I’d pick a realistic setting for Glee. Again, it doesn’t have to be (catch me trying to nominate Endymion Fell at every possible book club category in the Lima Bean). Even I have written non-magickal Snowbaz and fantasy Klaine, but ya know.

mutual pining or domestic bliss 

Another hard one. Both are great. I suppose that in the end I love the drama more. I am definitely an angsty writer/reader and mutual pining is great for that, especially when they don’t know it is mutual.

smut or fluff 

Yes, yes, yes, angst galore, but I can appreciate some fluff. With this decision it’s just that I don’t read smut, so it is an easy pick. Although I have some more Thots on this topic, but I will post that soon. Hopefully. In another post.

canon-compliant or fix-it 

Another one where it is heavily context-dependent and I don’t have an overall preference for one of them. It’s something that someone also mentioned in the CO Discord when we did those trope tier lists. I love canon-compliant for Check, Please! or Carry On fics, because canon didn’t let me down there. Glee, on the other hand, oh boy.... OH BOY, give me that fucking fix-it.

reincarnation or character death 

I mean, look at my obsession with @cutestkilla​‘s What’s Left, @artsyunderstudy​‘s The Mirrors that Hold Us and @facewithoutheart‘s On Love’s Light Wings. And then there’s of course @urban-sith‘s deathcember. The CO fandom really delivers on this trope and it made me love it. Maybe this would be another context dependent thing, but I have no real “experience” with reincarnation, so I picked character death.

one-shot or multi-chapter

This is actually hard to answer, because the thing I look at in the end is word count. A 20K fic can be a one-shot or a 5 part multi-chapter. 

kid fic or road trip fic 

Hahahaha. This is quite funny. Up until this point I never really thought about how much I actually like kid fics. Fuck, I even made an entire post with my favourite kid OCs in Klaine fics years ago and I think about them still. And again, the CO fandom is out here making me appreciate the trope, with @martsonmars‘s fics The Curse of the 31 Cheeseburgers and The Dragon, The Sword, and The Knight coming to mind now. I ate a McDonald’s cheeseburger this weeked. It made me think of Leo. (And like Leo, I don’t want pickles!). Also, does namesakes by @tea-brigade count, because that one is also stellar.

arranged marriage or accidental marriage 

I honestly don’t read either of these, but just the thought of arranged marriage makes me very uncomfortable, whereas accidental marriage can lead to possible humour in my eyes. So I maybe should’ve left this one blank, but I still feel like I have some preference here.

high school romance or middle aged romance 

I am so done with high schools (I say, as I rewatch Heartstopper), but no jokes aside, I am so done with high school AUs, high school books, high school TV shows. They’re not bad (again, see Heartstopper), but I realised a while ago that I started preferring characters in their 20s like me, so not quite middle aged, but I have read some and yeah, it was fun.

time travel or isolated together 

I am not a fan of historical, so I suppose that rules out time travel, unless it’s in a Doccy Whomst sort of way. Can’t say that isolated together is something to write home about, but like everyone, I did devour some quaratine fics to cope in beginning 2020 so it was fine.

neighbours or roommates  

“And they were-” neighbours. Maybe this is something personal or whatever. As in, I hate living with roommates. Why would I willingly read a story about roommates? I mean, okay, okay, I concede that found family trope is right up my alley and roommates is one of the best way to do so (Check, Please! anyone?), but I like the distance that neighbours still brings. Does that make sense? Oh my god they were neighbours.

sci-fi au or magic au 

I, uh, see both of these as two peas of the same pod, ya know? And what I said about settings while answering the modern/fantasy au still stands here.

body swap or gender bend 

I was going to leave this one blank again, but then I remembered I went through a HUGE gender bend Glee phase back in 2012. As in, I read fics of it, I wrote fics of it, reblogged fanart, read HC posts, even followed RPG groups. Man, what the fuck. That’s so wack to think since I also don’t think I ever cared about it again after that, although I do know that I have a partial gender bend Glee fic in my hospital somewhere (as in, only Kurt and Blaine are gender bent and they’re aware of the change). So, huh, that happened.

angst or crack 

Angst! Angst! Angst! I love me some angst! I have a personal joke where I also say that I cannot have crack without at least some angst. And Thirst Trapped by @facewithoutheart definitely delivered there. I actually reread it two days ago. So I can definitely, absolutely, totally enjoy a good crack fic, but the angst keeps winning.

apocalyptic or mundane

Where’s that one Tweet about fanfic being the greatest fantasy and then it’s just characters having A Good Fucking Day? Due to my angst loving nature, I suppose I wouldn’t turn away an apocalyptic story, but even mundanity can bring drama! Oh no, who is doing the dishes? 

As for tags, to not clog up people’s notifications, I grouped this together with my WIP Wednesday. Hopefully, you found your way here after seeing the tag on there.

Some explanations and a few tags under the cut!

At this point I feel like you guys can tell I don't like suffering 😂

I'm gonna keep this short

Enemies to lovers has always been one of my favourite tropes. Way before I started reading fics!! Friends to lovers is nice, too but there's just something about a good enemies to lovers story, you know?

Domestic bliss/mutual pining - I had originally chosen domestic bliss but writing this made me change my mind. I like mutual pining as well, actually. You just wanna yell at them cause they're so stupid and throw away your phone but it's just so nice when they finally get together. I like domestic bliss cause I'm sappy and I like seeing people happy. I'm a simple gal.

Fluff - I like smut as well, don't get me wrong. Reading good smut is very satisfying but I'm afraid I'm a romantic at heart and fluff always makes me swoon (whereas smut can sometimes be hard to read, depending on what they're doing. I'm not always gonna be into the smut, but I'll always be into the fluff)

Multi-chapter - I like one-shots, too. Really, the only thing that matters to me is that it's not too long. I chose multi-chapter cause usually the chapters are shorter than some one-shots and also, it allows me to take breaks while reading the fic. My attention span is terrible. I can't read anything that's too long.

Kid-fic hands down!!!! I'm a sucker for kid-fics!!

Middle-aged romance - I'm closer in age to middle-aged people now than I am to high schoolers so I can relate more. But I also like the idea that it's possible to meet someone and to fall in love, and be desirable/desired etc etc (everything society tells you you can't do past the ripe old age of 25, basically) in your 40s or 50s. It's like, fuck you, society! You can't put an expiration date on my happiness!!

Roommates - although neighbours is very very nice too 👀 I don't know why but the word "neighbours" immediately made me think of the movie what's your number and now I'm like what if someone wrote a wsyn au??? just kidding! unless.... 👀👀👀

I chose crack because I will choose to laugh over everything else most of the time but I would be lying if I said I didn't like angst as well tbh

Mundane!!! I only read snowbaz fics and the boys have been through so much they deserve all the mundane they can get!! Give me the most boring Tuesday evening fluff you can get!!

Tagging @bookish-bogwitch @cutestkilla @ileadacharmedlife @facewithoutheart @sillyunicorn @ivelovedhimthroughworse @tea-brigade @you-remind-me-of-the-babe if you feel so inclined!

[whatevertheweather]

WIP folder ask: I don’t think I know what the fake dating thing is (do I?)

You do not!

It is actually what I was considering doing for the snowflake exchange fic that ended up being That's Tuesday.

The prompt was just getting some Snowbaz, Shenny, Brobelove content, so my initial idea was (and bear with me, because this doc is just bullet points with no creative vetting):

Normal AU

school reunion type of deal which is for some reason happening at a bar?

and more confusingly, only six people are there? and also I think only three of them actually went to school together? I guess it's more like an unofficial...re...meetup...something

some amount of backstory that leads to everyone being like "I can't show up without a date"

so we end up with fake Baz/Shepard, Simon/Agatha, Penny/Niamh and ensuing hijinks as they all lust after each other's partners

Will I ever write it? Well, it's on my list as a "if I get through all these WIPs and also these two other ideas that aren't WIPs yet, then we'll see." Although there's always "divine inspiration in the middle of the night" that can throw that list into chaos, so who knows.

#my writing #this post actually officially has more in it than the doc does #(although the doc has an itty bitty snippet of an actual scene so)

[wellbelesbian]

Either/Or

thanks for the tag @martsonmars! i’m always terrible for these because so smirks i refuse to choose one or the other, it has to be both.

slow burn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // oh no there’s only one bed or long distance correspondence // hurt/comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi-chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high school romance or middle aged romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbors or roommates  // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or gender bend // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane

like Marta, i’m going to put some explanations below the cut, if you’re interested in that

slow burn or love at first sight- i love a good slow burn, even though it can make me impatient sometimes 😂 good things come to those who wait, i guess

fake dating or secret dating- it’s about the pining

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers- i would have thought i would be team enemies to lovers considering most of my ships and my OCs follow that pattern, but i just love friends to lovers. knowing someone so well, slowly realising there’s nobody else who gets you and you want to spend all your time with… and either route you can take it, where person A panics thinking person B would never like them back that way OR where they can clearly see how the other feels but still take forever to vocalise those feelings because they’re afraid of change… this may be veering into idiots to lovers territory, but it’s just so great.

oh no there’s only one bed or long distance correspondence- i will write bed sharing into every fic i possibly can. again, it’s about the pining! being so close yet so far… falling asleep facing away from one another but waking up in each other’s arms, and pretending still to be asleep so you can enjoy it for just a minute longer…

hurt/comfort or amnesia- i’m just kind of over amnesia fics, they were a big thing in my wattpad days but i don’t tend to read them anymore

fantasy au or modern au- i’m in the carry on fandom, which is both, but i just love fantasy, i always have

mutual pining or domestic bliss- both are fantastic bur if my earlier answers are anything to go by, it’s gotta be mutual pining

smut or fluff- i can read smut, but i’ll probably never write it. it just makes me cringe, and i don’t know what i’m doing, i’m ace!

canon-compliant or fix-it- what is fic for, if not correcting canon’s mistakes?

reincarnation or character death- two characters being reincarnated over and over again until they get their happy ending is my SHIT

one-shot or multi-chapter- my ADHD can’t be doing with multiple chapters

kid fic or road trip fic- kid fics just aren’t my thing, while roadtrips have so much opportunity for chaos

arranged marriage or accidental marriage- i’ve written both, don’t make me choose!

high school romance or middle aged romance- now that i’m out of school, it just doesn’t interest me anymore

time travel or isolated together- see, most of these are two opposite ends of a spectrum, but these are barely related. so i object to having to choose one or the other. both have their own strengths, if used correctly.

neighbors or roommates- i’m in the carry on fandom for a reason

sci-fi au or magic au- i’m so bad at sci-fi but have always loved magic. though, magic in space, i could abide.

body swap or gender bend- not much preference here, i don’t read much of either but body swaps sound a bit more interesting. though saying that, i have literally written fem!snowbaz…

angst or crack- they’re both good!!

apocalyptic or mundane- life is stressful enough as it is, thanks

this was fun! i tag @nonbaznary @dreamingkc @otherpeoplesheartachept-2 @bazzybelle @shemakesmeforget @confused-bi-queer @ileadacharmedlife @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @jasonfunderberkerthefrogexists @gekkoinapeartree @themandilorian and @basiltonbutliketheherb

Summary: Simon Snow only wanted to be Baz’s fake boyfriend to get back at his extremely homophobic father. That was the only reason (and to find out what he was plotting).

It wasn’t like he was actually going to fall in love with him.

Comments: Thank you so much to @dragonsandgayvampires and @abbie-the-unicorn for editing this! I’ve been desperate for a Snowbaz fake dating AU so here we are

“I just don’t understand, Basil.” A voice says from behind the door.

“Don’t understand what?” Baz roars. Simon has never heard Baz roar. Baz might be a self centered prick, but he always kept his emotions in check. Simon could get him pretty riled up, but never like this. 

Maybe it would be better if there was some context. There’s a week every year at Watford where parents are allowed to come and visit the students to see how things are going. Typically, only first years ever really got a visit, but something seemed to have piqued Baz’s dad’s interest that caused him to pay a visit. 

Honestly, Simon shouldn’t be eavesdropping. Something about this conversation seemed too personal, Baz didn't even seem to share his secrets with his friends. Were Dev and Niall his friends? Baz doesn’t seem to treat them that way.... 

“Why you would choose this! You know how important presentation is to this family.” Baz scoffs. 

“Being gay is not a choice!” Yep, definitely way too personal. Simon should leave. He really should. 

“You just haven’t found the right girl yet, Baz,” Baz’s dad says, sounding almost annoyed. And tired, as if this was a conversation they had many times before. Simon could practically hear Baz’s nostrils flare through the door. He even saw it in his mind, with his perfect brows drawn together angrily. The look in his grey eyes would be absolutely vicious, like a viper rearing back to bite. 

“Father. I am seventeen. When are you going to realize that this isn’t a phase?” The tone of Baz’s voice... it’s so dejected. He sounds like he’s lost all hope, like he’s drowning. He sounds like he’s been drowning for years, calling out for help but nobody has ever come. 

“Baz. I don’t know what kind of teenage rebellion you think this is, but you are never, under any circumstances, going to have a boyfriend.” There’s a moment of tense silence. Simon knows what Baz is doing. He’s calculating his best move. 

“Try and stop me, father. Just. Try.” 

Simon is about to turn away and leave when the door bursts open. In the doorway is Baz’s dad. 

Baz’s dad is a whole new brand of terrifying. Honestly, Simon isn’t too surprised considering Baz, but Baz’s dad holds something even more unsettling. Simon’s heart pounds in his chest. 

“Simon Snow,” He says, sounding disinterested. Simon squeaks, but he never gets to stutter out a reply. Mr. Grimm-Pitch pushes past him, walking down the hall as if nothing happened. As if he hadn’t just gotten in a huge argument with his son. 

Simon walks into the room, not sure what to expect. Somehow he was both surprised and not surprised to find Baz with a bored expression on his face as he opened a book. It was almost  as if the conversation didn’t phase him. Honestly, Simon started to wonder if it was even real. 

Simon had a tendency to get himself into messes, which may have led him to where he’s at now, pulling at his curls as a crazy plot brews in his head. 

A few hours later, after Baz had left to go do vampire things and came back to find Simon “sleeping,” the sniffles began to start. 

At first, Simon wasn’t sure he was hearing correctly. Eight years, and he’s never heard Baz cry once. It had to be in his head. 

But then the sniffles came again, and Simon knew that he wasn’t imagining it. 

“Baz are you crying?” Simon tries not to sound like he’s mocking him, but his voice sounds so indifferent that Baz takes it the wrong way. 

“Fuck off, Snow.” Simon sits up on his bed, reaching over to turn on a lamp. He grunts at the way the light stings his eyes. 

Baz is facing away from Simon, all scrunched up in a ball. His shoulders are hunched and his hair is a disaster. He looks so unlike Baz. He looks so vulnerable. 

“Hey,” Simon says, hitting Baz lightly with a pillow. That gets him to sit up. He flashes Simon the most vicious glare, but it doesn’t really work when his eyes are so red and puffy. 

“What do you want, Snow?” Baz sounds tired.  “What’s wrong?” Simon says seriously. Baz looks down, kicking his feet against his bed, a frown on his face.  “It’s none of your business,” Baz snaps.  “Course it is! I’m your roommate and you’re crying!”  “Since when do you care?” Baz hisses viciously. Simon groans.  “Merlin why are you such a prick?” Silence falls across the room. Baz isn’t crying anymore, but Simon still doesn’t want to leave this alone.  “Is this about your dad?” Baz’s head whips up so fast that Simon isn’t sure how he didn’t break it.  “What?” Simon leans back a little. He probably should stop. It’s not a good idea to piss off your deadly, evil, vampire roommate. But his brain doesn’t seem to be getting the message.  “I overheard you and your dad arguing earlier.” Baz sneers, like he isn’t bothered by that. But after years of looking for any emotion in Baz’s eyes, Simon knows that it’s bothering him a lot more than he’s letting on.  “So what, Snow? You’re going to spread rumors that I’m gay as well as a vampire?” Baz doesn’t even sound scared. He just sounds done.  “What— no. No that’s not what I—“ Baz huffs, standing up. He starts to make for the door, but Simon darts up and blocks his path.  “I wouldn’t do that,” Simon says, looking Baz in the eye. They’re close. They’ve been this close before, but for some reason this feels more intimate. It causes a blush to rise up into Simon’s cheeks.  “What do you want from me, Snow?” Baz says, crossing his arms. Simon doesn’t know what he wants.  “Why didn’t you tell me?” Simon’s voice drops low. Baz’s lowers to match.  “Tell you what? That I’m gay? That my father is a homophobic arsehole? That he doesn’t think I can find a boyfriend that will actually love me? Crowley Snow, these are things I’d prefer not to share with my half-wit roommate.”  “I’m sorry.”  “Sorry for what, Snow?” Baz says, sounding exasperated. Simon straightens, pulling himself up to his fullest hight. It doesn’t help, though. Baz is still taller.  “I’m sorry your father’s an arsehole. He doesn’t have any right to hate you because of who you’re attracted to.”  “Thanks Snow.” Baz doesn’t sound thankful. He just sounds pissed off.  Simon sighs, stepping aside. Baz glares at him, then walks swiftly out the door, shutting it behind him.  Simon sinks into his bed, his thoughts filling with Baz (which wasn’t too abnormal). 

In the care homes, there were sometimes boys and girls who would come in after being kicked out of the place they called home for so long. They were the kindest and sweetest people, but everyone always judged them. They were judged because they liked guys instead of girls and girls instead of guys and everything in-between. They were tossed aside because they felt like more of a guy than a girl or a girl than a guy. They were rejected, just like Simon, because they were different.  And Simon hated it. He hated that Baz was going through the same thing with his father. He hated how much it made Baz lose all of his control.  Simon hated to admit it, but he hated how heartbroken Baz sounded. Like he actually believed his father when he said a boy would never love him like that (especially considering Baz was, well, Baz).  Simon sat straight up in his bed, his eyes wide. It was crazy, and definitely would probably get him into trouble later. He wasn’t even sure if Baz would agree, but maybe, maybe....  Maybe it was time to prove Baz’s dad wrong. 

Baz was hoping he’d walk in to the room to find Simon sleeping soundly without a care in the world, but he should’ve known better than to hope. Simon was frustratingly stubborn and apparently this was something that bothered him enough to wait up. In any other situation, Baz may have felt touched, his idiotic feelings going wild, but right now he just wanted to let it go. 

“Baz,” Simon says, looking at a loss. And also adorable. Merlin, why was he always so adorable?  Baz raises an eyebrow.  “That is my name.” Baz hopes he looks as cool and collected as he thinks he does as he looks down at Simon.  “I had an idea.”  “Brilliant. Try not to kill me while you’re at it,” Baz says, tugging off his shoes. Simon scrunches his hands in his curls.  “I think I know how to get back at your father.” Baz huffs, sitting down on his bed.  “Snow, I’m not interested in—“  “I’ll be your boyfriend.” Baz isn’t sure he heard Simon correctly. His vampire senses allowed him to hear a lot more than a normal person, but in no universe would Simon Snow ever want to be Baz’s boyfriend.  “What?” Simon stands, walking over to Baz’s bed. Baz’s breath hitches as Simon sits down.  “You’re going home for Christmas, right?”  “Yes?” Simon is shifting anxiously and his magic is pouring out of him. Baz almost takes him by the shoulders and tells him to breathe, but he doesn’t.  “How about you invite me over for Christmas and I pretend to be your boyfriend to prove your father wrong.” Simon Snow is an absolute idiot. Why did Baz like him so much?  “And how do you propose we do that?” Simon huffs, pulling at his hair even more. His curls are thoroughly rumpled.  “Your dad said that you could never be in love with a boy and that a boy could never be in love with you, right?” Baz looks at him suspiciously.  “Right...”  “So... we prove him wrong by acting like we’re in love.”

“Snow... we’re enemies. You’re the Mage’s foster son who has been out to get the families since as long as I can remember. Plus, I don’t take you to be that great of an actor.” 

“I can pretend to be in love with you.”  “Sure, Snow. And you can ace all your classes without Bunce.” Simon glares.  “I can.” Baz’s lip curls.  “Prove it.” Something shifts in Simon’s expression. Suddenly he’s moving closer to Baz and Baz feels his heart stutter in his chest. He twines his fingers through Baz’s, smiling up at him with the dopiest grin Baz has ever seen. For a moment, Baz thinks Simon might kiss him and he feels like he can’t breathe.  “Baz,” Simon says, smiling a little when he says his name. He whispers it like it’s a secret that he only wants Baz to hear. It makes Baz’s head is buzzing and he feels like Simon is about to go off, filling the room with his magic and making everyone feel drunk. Except he isn’t drunk on Simon’s magic.

“You look really pretty tonight.” Merlin and Morgana this is going to be terrible.

Simon must be better at this whole flirting thing than he thought.

That was odd to think about. Him, flirting with Baz. Simon didn’t even like guys, but he sure as hell was making Baz blush the tiniest.

“AHA! You’re blushing!” Simon says, sounding proud. Baz scowls at him, but a light pink dusts his cheeks.

“That’s moronic, Snow.” Simon snorts.

“Admit it, Baz. I’m a good flirt.”

“What you are is an idiot.” Baz won’t look at Simon directly and that’s all it takes for Simon to know that he’s won this argument.

“But…” Baz sighs, letting go of Simon’s hands. Simon forgot that he was holding him. “Maybe you are a little better than I anticipated.”

 “Did THE Basilton Grimm-Pitch just admit that he was wrong?” Baz glares at Simon, who bursts out in laughter at the ridiculousness of the situation.  Baz scowls.

 “You done?” He says when Simon finally calms down. Simon takes a deep breath.

 “Do we have a deal?” Baz’s nostrils flare.

 “Why are you doing this, Snow. You have nothing to gain.” But Simon had everything to gain. He got to prove a bully wrong and maybe get close enough to Baz to find out what he was plotting.

 Thinking about it now, Simon was starting to think that was the real reason. If he kept close, maybe he could figure Baz out. Maybe he could understand what he’s plotting.

 “Because I want to. I don’t have anywhere to go for the holidays anyways.” Baz takes a deep breath.

 “Fine.” Simon doesn’t know why this makes him so happy. He feels his heart swell as he smiles widely. At first he thinks it might be a mistake, but when the pink tinge comes back to Baz’s cheeks, well, Simon decides to count it as a win.

Day 6: WLW

Okay I managed to whip up something so I can at least say I participated in the @carryon-countdown​ a little this year (and of course it had to be for the wlw prompt). Hopefully you enjoy this start to a fake dating AU :)

Paring: Simon/Baz

Length: 809 words

Warnings: brief mentions of mild homophobia 

-

“What was that?” I ask as soon as Baz closes her bedroom door.

She slumps against the carved wood, almost like she’s trying to make herself small, like she’s embarrassed. I've seen a lot of weird things since getting to her house, but Basil Pitch letting her guard down like this is the strangest. I’ll have to add embarrassment to the list of emotions Baz is capable of feeling.  

She sighs, pinching the bridge of that too-high nose, “Months ago I told my father I had a girlfriend-“

“Wait, wait. Why would you have a girlfriend?”

“Because I’m a lesbian, Snow.” She says like that’s something I’m supposed to know. But I know everything I can about Baz; she definitely hid this. Oh fuck, does that mean she thinks I’m gonna think she’s weird now? Just act casual, so she knows you’re cool with it.

“Right. Yeah.” I croak out in the least casual way possible. Shit.

Baz just stares at me for a moment, eyes searching for something. I’ve no idea what to do. How are you supposed to respond to your enemy coming out??

 Thankfully she continues talking before I can think about it too hard.

“Anyway-” her hand waves between us “-When I came out to my father he ignored it and acted like being queer was just a stupid phase. So I lied about having a girlfriend to prove this isn’t something I’ll grow out of, but he knew it was bullshit so said he’d love to meet her over winter break, so I said he would. But obviously I don’t have a fucking girlfriend, and now you’re here, and he’s just rubbing it in my face.”

“That sucks.” I say, unsure how to comfort her. Should I pat her shoulder? This is the most we’ve ever talked without fighting; it’s messing with my head.

“Merlin, what a keen observation!” Baz mockingly smiles at me. That’s what I’m used to from her. (Doesn’t mean I like it any better though). She pushes off the door and heads for her giant walk in closet. 

“But we can get you a girlfriend!” I blurt out before I even know what I’m saying.

“What?” Baz turns back to me, brow furrowed.

Yeah brain, what???

She steps into her closet, as I fumble to explain myself. “Uh, well, your dad right? He um was asking, sarcastically, if I was your girlfriend. I mean, maybe I am? For the weekend. We could pretend.” I smile to try and convince her. I don’t have time to think about why I suddenly need Baz to agree to this plan.

She moves back into sight with crossed arms. “Why would you do that? You hate me.”

“Not for being gay!”

Baz rolls her eyes and mumbles something about me being annoyingly heroic as she goes back to looking through clothes. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean.  

“So let me get this straight…” She says over the sound of hangers moving on racks. I can’t help but giggle at her phrasing.

“Crowley, are you fucking five?” She exhales. She’s got a dark green dress in her hand as she leaves the closet. Why is she changing? The jeans she has on now look good on her.

“Let me get this straight,” she starts again, “your brilliant idea is that we pretend not to despise each other for 48 entire hours so I can march down there on Christmas Eve and go, Hey Dad! Remember that immense disappointment you felt when I told you I was only attracted to women? Well, it’s about to get a lot worse!”

I feel heat rising to my cheeks. 

“Uh, yeah I guess?” It’s infuriating how easily she can make me feel stupid. I have to unclench my fists.

“You guess.” She deadpans.

“Well do you have a better idea!?” I throw my hands in the air.

She rolls her eyes so far back it looks unnatural. “Oh I don’t know, Snow-” she stalks towards me “-maybe simply not doing that is a better idea!”

“Well sorry for trying to fucking help you!” She so close now my spit almost lands on her pale neck.

She stares me down in a way that makes me want to squirm. “I, Do Not need your help.” Her dark hair tickles my nose. 

“Fine.” I growl. 

There’s no Anathema here to stop Baz from harming me, and I’m really not prepared for a fight; I left my wand in my coat downstairs. I should probably back down. But that’s not how it works with us. “I thought it was a good idea.” I jut my chin.

“It was an awful idea,” she sneers, “like all of your ideas.” Her tone softens on the second part for some reason. It’s confusing. It makes me want to squirm for a different reason.

-

Obviously if I ever do continue this they will go with Simon’s awful idea.

#5: Tiny™️ Alex Fierro doodle

All three versions because I’m queer and I love her ! I made these for my s/o because 1) I’m gay and 2) See “1”

#4: My “Golden” AU

I don’t know what EXACTLY to put here since I haven’t worked a lot into it but it’s one of my favorite fanfiction concepts so far and I’m SO excited to work on it next year !!! It’s a Snowbaz secret relationship Normal AU where they’re planning on getting engaged and having a handfasting BUT they need to come out to people and it’s gonna be MESSY . it’s very fluffy and domestic, I just love it so much ! Also: cat dad Simon (Baz too, but like . CAT DAD SIMON !!!!!)

#3: This fancam from my Twitter

(Don’t even know if I can include something like this !)

Might seem kind of stupid but this year I really embraced my “enjoy whatever you feel like enjoying however you want and don’t give a fuck about what anybody else has to say” vibes and if there’s a movie I love it’s Fantastic Mr Fox. Kristofferson is 100% my comfort character and it was really fun to make headcanons and pick scenes and listen to Kristofferson’s Theme over and over again !!

#2: Fiona doodles !

Literally all the Fionas I’ve doodled deserve TOP#1, but I’m gonna stick with these main

The third digital version (named “Fiona losing her shit”) was heavily influenced by what in my mind is Fiona reacting to Baz being chaotic gay, AKA this line:

“We should have dropped him in the Thames in a bag of stones. We should have left him out for the fairies”

So poetic. I love it. And her !!!!! I love her !!!!!

#1: Do you want me (dead)?

[chapter-61]

normal au where baz’ dad is an important CEO and goes to a lot of fancy rich people parties, and drags baz with him constantly bc he wants baz to be his successor and wants to introduce him to all the Important People. 

baz is not a fan of the business world, he’d prefer to become a professional violinist, but he begrudgingly attends the parties with his father, always trying to get out as soon as possible. 

he’s had to endure several painful conversations about his love life, about his ethnicity, and other topics that old rich white men shouldn’t ask him about, but he carries on because he wants to make his family proud.

until. until his father agrees with the other Important People of the company that baz should find a nice girl to date, because such a nice couple would send a good message to the customers, wouldn’t it?

baz is not happy with this development, not just because his father keeps ignoring he’s gay, but also because he has no intentions of dating anyone. not unless it’s... well...

he quits the party early and takes the underground to a less rich neighborhood, and plans to get drunk in one of the pubs. he enters one at random, not too busy but not too empty either, and makes his way towards the bar stand. 

“Baz?”

oh god. it’s his university crush. bloody hell. he looks even better than the last time baz saw him, a year ago when simon suddenly dropped out. he’s wearing a tight shirt that stretches over his biceps and his hair looks extremely ruffled. he’s everything baz has ever wanted.

he’s also everything his father, and the company men, would hate. now there’s a thought.

baz puts a smile on his face and walks confidently towards the love of his life, a plan forming in his head. if he were to pretend-date simon snow, would that give some of the men a heart attack? hopefully. it would at least get them off his back for not dating anyone. if he took simon with him to the parties, and asked him to behave badly on purpose, it’d be a lot more fun.

and what if baz is also doing it for his own reasons? no one needs to know. maybe he’d just like to know how it would feel to be dating simon snow. 

it’s a good idea, and he could pay simon so they both get something out of it. 

he’s sure his own feelings wouldn’t mess this up. 

what could go wrong?
