[Original] A Friend in Need
Feb. 3rd, 2022 08:29 pma/n: My dear readers, I present to you my first ever Original Universe Commission. This is for withersake, who commissioned me to write in their universe, using their characters and I was absolutely thrilled to do so! I had so much fun with this fic, ya'll. Please enjoy!
Title: A Friend in Need
Rating: T
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Magical Circus
Summary: Mikayla’s soft for a stray, according to Luke, and maybe he’s not wrong. Because when she sees Marjorie getting bothered by the twins, Mikayla decides what Marjorie really needs is a friend -- or better yet, two.
Mikayla loves stew.
She does not, however, love tomatoes. Why does Cassidy insist on adding them to every dish? Granted, they’re a better cook than Georgio who oversalts everything, and at least Cassidy chops the tomatoes chunky enough Mikayla can avoid them.
Or.
She glances at Luke, who isn’t paying her one bit of attention, and tips another spoonful of tomatoes into his bowl. There. Problem solved.
Mikayla spears a hefty piece of potato and pops it into her mouth, letting the noise and bustle of lunch wash over her. Chatter rises and falls in a familiar, comforting rhythm. The aerialists are laughing in the corner again, Tober crouched on the bench as he re-enacts some elaborate twists he wants to incorporate into his routine. If he's not careful, he's going to --
And there he goes, tumbling ass over teakettle off the bench, to the rousing laughter of his compatriots. Honestly, an aerialist should not be so clumsy.
