AN: This fic is for the lovely @maladaptivexxdaydreaming’s Jardin de Poemas challenge, and who better to use than Ari? My chosen poetry prompt is in bold.
Whilst this definitely can be read as a stand alone, there is a brief nod to this little ficlet I wrote, so that could be seen as a prequel.
I don’t even know what to say. Jen, this was so beautiful The way you set up their relationship and how they respected each other’s time and needs, how honest they were, and how I could feel Ari’s heart aching on that beach before she told him she loved him
This is now one of my favorite fics, it’s so full of heart and comforting and just so so so beautiful, I really have no better word for it. I am in love with Ari and with this fic
And now I’m gonna be:
The second time, you’d just picked up your favourite coffee on your way to work. You were making your way out of the crowded shop when you tripped. In an instant your cup was plucked out of your hand and your body was brought flush against a broad chest, your nose almost pressing into the golden hair protruding out the top of his partially undone shirt. The smell of sand and salty water wafted across you.
me in that moment:
“It’s true! And I know it’s ridiculous, because I don’t even know your real name, but in the least creepy way possible, I can’t get you off my mind.”
It is creepy but idc, kidnap me, daddy, i won’t complain once ❤
Thank you for this fic. Now excuse me, if you need me I’ll be curled up in the corner all up in my feels.
