the scourge of eclairs
Permalink Mark Unread
Aianon has made a plant in the open airless space above the surface of Thilanushinyel. It is a very, very large plant - some dragons will be attending the party, after all, even if Ansharil in particular is going to be assorted small things and stay on Sarion's person the bulk of the time.

The locals will be Sarion, her beloveds, their other beloved, the five conjured dragons (and their Bondmates, where applicable: Virgivere and Lissa), and Liselen - Magania has, as usual, declined, and so far no Bell party has featured Bell parents.

Amariah is bringing her boyfriend and spontaneous daughter and two of the spontaneous daughter's friends, as well as an Alethian instance of the Rupert template.

Shell Bell is bringing Pearl and Screwdriver.

Golden is bringing her usual large contingent, as usual not including her husband but including her daughter and daughter's grown fosterling (the other remaining at home) and his wolf, both mothers-in-law and one father-in-law, adopted siblings, staff members including the Joker and Nathan, and the children of the aforementioned.

Glass is bringing both wives, all three daughters, Kanim, and her cat. She invited Icarin and Valeria, but their parents are not willing to let them gallivant into other worlds unsupervised and had a scheduling conflict.

Stella's bringing a smattering of people including Alice, Anna, Sandy, Libby, Bridget, her college roommate Janine, and Lazarus.

Tab is bringing Aelise (but not Kers) and Luhan.

Etty is bringing only Nona.

Aether, likewise, brings no one but Celo.

Pattern comes with Ripper, Slipstick, Queenie, and Ghosty.

Aegis is accompanied by her four-bodied boyfriend, Merryweather, Whitlock, and Howlett.

Aurora comes with Brilliance, Lexi with her Device Persica, Agent Honey with her Device Adularia, and Beth.

Rose brings her husband and three children and her former apprentice, Luc.

Angela brings her husband, her four children, several of her friends, and some of those friends' children and grandchildren with and without wings. Keziah also brings a friend.

Juliet shows up with Soph, Minus, Red, Giles, James, Virginia, Minnie, Ike, and Val.

Cam brings Jellybean and Tilly and stops there.

And from unBelled worlds hail additional Sherlocks and Tonies, Darcy, Matilda, Pepper, and Eights.

Zeus (with Andrea draped over his shoulder as some sort of furry dragon) is currently making a valiant effort to rid this party of the scourge of eclairs.

Harley appears out of nowhere and hugs Zeus enthusiastically.

"Hi! I love you!"

Spontaneous imprint hugs are way more important than eclairs! "I love you too!" Hugsnuggle.

Snugglehug!

"Some girls came and said they could get rid of more of what Chelsa did and they did and it's gone and it's wonderful," he says, mostly into Zeus's shoulder.

Squish-hug. "That's great! I didn't even know there was anything left."

"Jokers bounce back fast from being doused but she still did it," he explains, "and it was still slowing me down, and now it's not and did I mention I love you? I love you." Snuggle snug.

Permalink Mark Unread

"I love you." Zeus kisses the top of his imprint's head.

Permalink Mark Unread

"I love you tooooo." Snuggle snuggle. "Hey, do you wanna come meet some Jokers? You haven't, right? They're fun!"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Uh, maybe. I actually do not know what will happen if I am presented with a bunch of people who look just like you but aren't!"

Permalink Mark Unread

"They don't really look just like me," he says thoughtfully. "Well, not to me, anyway, I dunno about you, would it be too weird?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"I guess we can find out. Maybe if the Imperial Seer is not busy she can check to see if I will explode, first?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"Sure!" says Harley. "Let's go bug her."

Permalink Mark Unread
Eventually Alice is located.

She makes kind of a face. "Jokers give me a headache," she sighs, but she closes her eyes anyway. "No, no explosions, not even Edward's weirdness around Bella's alts, you're fine."

"Thanks!" says Zeus.
Permalink Mark Unread
"Thanks!" beams Harley. "Sorry about your headache!"

And he leads Zeus to the predictable location of a large number of Jokers: the orgy chambers located among the roots of the space plant, under the main room and its encircling platform.
Permalink Mark Unread

Zeus is sufficiently Harleysexual that he wasn't likely to wander into an orgy for reasons of his own, but he's also a wolf with the consequent casualness around both nudity and personal privacy. He follows his imprint happily.

Permalink Mark Unread
Anyway, Harley brainphones ahead, and when they enter the correct room everyone is mostly just snuggling.

"Hi, everybody! This is Zeus, he's my wolf and he's the best," he says, giving Zeus the huggiest of hugs.
Permalink Mark Unread

"Aww, you're adorable," says Queenie from amid the general pile. "Wanna hug?"

Permalink Mark Unread

Zeus does not need to worry about Andrea coming into contact with other Jokers, so he just says, "Okay!"

Permalink Mark Unread
Queenie extricates herself and comes up and hugs the Zeus-and-Harley concatenation.

She is extremely cuddly. The cuddliest. Magically cuddly. It's pretty great.
Permalink Mark Unread

"You are really cuddly!" Zeus observes.

Permalink Mark Unread

"I am," Queenie agrees. "I have an aura of cuddly. Well, also an aura of fuckable, but you won't be meeting that one."

Permalink Mark Unread

"It's pretty great, too, though," says Harley. "If you don't wanna be mass-hugged, speak now."

Permalink Mark Unread

"I could go for some mass-hugging."

Permalink Mark Unread

"Beautiful," says a voice out of thin air, and Ghosty materializes to pile on.

Permalink Mark Unread

Other

Jokers

follow.

Permalink Mark Unread

One of them is fluffy!

Permalink Mark Unread

Zeus laughs. "You guys having fun dividing me up when I'm yea big or should I arrange for there to be more of me to hug?"

Permalink Mark Unread

"You mean get floofy? You should totally get floofy," says Harley, snuggling him.

Permalink Mark Unread
"Right then," says Zeus, and he divests himself of outfit (he isn't in uniform today, it didn't seem like party wear) and then:

Floof!

It's very fast and very sudden; Andrea's sitting on top of him and just gets bounced a little, but Jokers standing near him may be flung into walls.
Permalink Mark Unread

There are quite a lot of Jokers standing near him.

Permalink Mark Unread

And they all think getting flung into walls is hilarious.

Permalink Mark Unread

Beast, appropriately enough, is the first one to recover and pounce on floofy Zeus for floofy snuggles.

Permalink Mark Unread
Fluffy Zeus flops onto his side and accepts cuddles!

[Yeah, I thought that'd get a laugh.]
Permalink Mark Unread

"It was fantastic," giggles Micaiah. "Oh, you're so fluffy!"

Permalink Mark Unread

Kas pounces too. Petaal turns into a fluffy dragon along the same lines as Andrea and tackles her in midair; they land on Zeus's fluffy shoulder and commence snuggling it.

Permalink Mark Unread

Zeus licks the nearest Joker's face.

Permalink Mark Unread

Brilliance giggles and kisses Zeus's nose in retaliation.

Permalink Mark Unread

Zeus barks a wolfy laugh and his tail wags.

Permalink Mark Unread

"That tickles," giggles Ghosty, who has ended up near his tail.

Permalink Mark Unread

[Good,] laughs Zeus. Wag wag wag!

Permalink Mark Unread

Ghosty continues to giggle!

Permalink Mark Unread

"I love you," says Harley, curling up and flopping his head onto Zeus's fluffy tummy.

Permalink Mark Unread

[I love you too.] Harley also gets licked.

Permalink Mark Unread

Harley giggles and snuggles in closer. The Jokerpile in general distributes themselves comfortably for snuggling.

Permalink Mark Unread

Wag wag wag wag snuggle snuggle (slurp) wag wag.

Permalink Mark Unread

Queenie pets Zeus's fluff. "You're a sweetie," she says. "I'm glad Harley found you."

Permalink Mark Unread

[Me too!]

Permalink Mark Unread

"Me three," says Harley, snuggling Zeus some more. Snuggling everyone, actually. Being in a pile of Jokers is great. Zeus is great. Snuggles are great. Everything is great.
