// away with the fairies
In your land, there may be stories of the Fae taking people away. Perhaps you haven't heard of the Fae at all, or perhaps you are more familiar with them than others. No matter how well acquainted you are with the Fae, everyone around you has experienced the same fate tonight: Being taken by them. Partially, at least. For they did not want to kidnap anyone from their home and take them away from the life they knew. In a small jar of fairy dust, part of your soul was taken in the night and brought to a magical village by the name of Fable.On arrival, the Fae release you from the jar before waving their magic wands, and materialise this taken little part of you into a brand new you. From here onwards, your new life begins, shared among all sorts of magical creatures. Here, you will be allowed to grow, thrive and enjoy the bounties provided to you by these mysterious and wonderful creatures. In exchange, they ask for a share of the magical fruit that you grow in your garden, donated to their dragon overseer in exchange for rewards. After a briefing on your new life, you understand things as best as you possibly can. Now, it's time to settle into a brand new cottagecore life.
// arrival
Now that you are a resident of Fable, you have a brand new cottage, a garden, and a few tools to use! There's not an awful lot in your cottage, though: Just a cardboard box, a lamp, a cassette tape and a single bed. Fear not, though! By participating in friendly tasks, your cottage will look great in no time.Something sparkly catches your attention before you realise it's a message board, advertising an array of tasks for bonus fruit. Did this thing appear out of nowhere just now? That must be the case, since you can swear it wasn't there a second ago. The board may inspire you to go out there and mingle. It seems that the monthly tasks are geared towards friendliness to welcome this new season!
april showers & pretty flowers
// treacherous thunderstorm
Around this time of year, the weather in Fable can certainly get hectic. While magic can only do so much to tidy the remaining fallen leaves off the ground, there's nothing like a doozy of a downpour to really sweep everything fresh and new. With all of the new flowers that have been growing in Fable, a lot of rainwater is certainly needed to give them all a drink. The dragons and storm spirits have been brewing up a torrential downpour scheduled to fall all over Fable and beyond - along with some strong winds. Are you prepared for the occasion?
From cottage to cottage, roof tiles rattle and leaves are swept away. It is advised to not go outside during this storm period, and if you're caught in the rain, to take shelter immediately! If you can't reach your cottage in time, there are other village landmarks to take shelter beneath. The thunder is very loud and the wind is strong enough to knock someone off their feet. It might be best to keep close to people in this weather - going out alone could be very dangerous. And if you're cooped up inside with a friend or a stranger, why not get to know them to pass the time?
It is important to be wary of the lightning. If someone gets struck by lightning, they will not die - but they will experience an injury and a magical feedback loop which swaps their personality! The cure for this problem is rainwater tea - a remedy which is advertised throughout the town's message boards as a precaution for any unlucky residents. The affected person will be lightning charged, causing them to receive an electric shock every time their hands are near water, which will make brewing tea impossible. Someone who has struck will need to rely on another person to brew the tea for them. A lightning-shaped scar will mark the person who got struck wherever they were affected.
After the storm ceases, there may be property damage such as collapsed gates, fallen fences, missing roof tiles and even an injury or two! Oh no! As compensation for enduring such a hearty storm - the realm's overseer, Prism, provides brand new repairing tools to those who had taken damage.
// flowers of kanshi
After enduring such a horrendous downpour, you definitely feel the urge to get out of town. The residents of Fable gossip endlessly about how stunning the cherry blossoms are in Kanshi this time of year, and the fairies practically insist that you go.Upon arrival, you can see that Kanshi has received quite a beating from the storm. The winds and rain have blown cherry blossom petals all over the place - in the streets, rivers, and they're covering the buildings. You can see all sorts of tiny magical creatures making their best efforts to clean up, part of you wonders why they aren't using magic.
You feel a tap on the shoulder, and realise that it's a tiny sakura dragon sitting perched on you.
"Hi," they say, "I hope it's not too much to ask, but ... could you help us out here?"
You did come here to relax, so you may be a little bit hesitant at first. Still, you'll allow the dragon to continue.
"Kanshi normally has a dusting of petals here and there, but this is just too much for us to deal with on our own. If you help us gather petals, we'll offer you free access to our hot springs and restaurants. We'll even use the petals to craft furniture for you."
That's not a bad suggestion. Besides, it would be difficult to enjoy a trip here with petals covering the place. Once you agree to the dragon's request, you are given a fishing net to catch petals on the ground, in the water and in the air.
// sakura springs
Finally! It's time to relax. The sakura dragons were true to their word - in addition to the furniture gifted in exchange for the petals you collected, you have access to all of Kanshi's most favoured attractions!There are incredible restaurants with shiba inu chefs ready to tailor to your every desire! The dining can be enjoyed in outdoor cafés surrounded by flowers, evening restaurants - and even an izakaya (alcohol & food bar) with food and drink available all night. It seems that the residents of Kanshi are very grateful for all the effort taken to clean up their home. If you want to spend the night here, even, the owners of the ryokan (traditional inns) will be glad to accommodate any guests. There are many beautiful wonders all across Kanshi, but one of the most renowned attractions are the hot springs. These incredible buildings feature indoor pools, outdoor waterways and rivers to bathe in which rejuvenates and uplifts anyone who steps in these waters. It's no wonder that creatures travel from all over just to bathe in them!
For every thread you write, you will receive cherry blossom furniture for your cottage! Feel free to leave a comment here to redeem these once you've written 5 tags in your thread! Since our TDMs are considered game canon, if you choose to app, these rewards will cross over with you when you join the game!
The Flower Cafés are sooooo cute! Situated outside, these charming cafés offer spectacular views of Kanshi's flower fields. All of the food and drinks arrive in incredibly charming pastel colours! (Even the savoury stuff!) Enjoying time in the café while surrounded by all of this pollen will cause a flower to bloom in your hair every time you smile! When they sprout, it's a very ticklish sensation - which might make you smile a lot. This ticklish pollen can be treated with a swim. Good thing there's a hot spring nearby!
The Restaurants have no shortage of incredible food! Whether you would like to order off the set menu, a conveyor belt or destroy all-you-can eat, every option is available. The more food you consume, the more you will feel the urge to open up and talk about yourself. Even things you might not normally be so inclined to tell strangers...!
The Izakaya Bars are the perfect spots for any adults who love good food and good alcohol. There are no innocuous effects from the food and drink ... apart from the house special - cherry plum sake! It is everyone's favourite drink in Kanshi and all-time best seller. Consuming the sake will cause any of the following effects: giggles, excessive compliments, tingly sensations, increased stamina and the urge to overshare your thoughts.
The Hot Springs are beloved by all of Kanshi's locals and beyond. These huge, towering buildings are crafted with wood and feature private indoor pools, outdoor waterfall pools and smaller pools which are connected by streams. In order to allow guests to bathe in peace, the mythological & animal villagers of Kanshi have granted their guests from Fable to have an area all to themselves. They have also provided care packages to the guests! They contain a variety of scented bath salts to choose from. Each salt type has an (undisclosed) effect once in use. The Rose Scented Salts will make someone feel warm, friendly and affectionate. The Vanilla Bean Salts will make someone feel confident and talkative. Their mood will also be enhanced - whether it's a happy kind or melancholic kind. And the Warming Lavender Salts, surprisingly, will give someone the tail and ears of an animal!
over the rainbow
// a rainsplosion
You were likely more than aware of the intense storm that happened earlier. Just when you figure that everything is settled, you are interrupted by a group of frantic fairies flittering through Fable's village.
"Quick! Quick! Come with us! You've gotta see it!"
See what, exactly? Once you have the opportunity, you ask these excitable fae why they're in such a hurry.
"There's gonna be an explosion! A magic explosion!" ... Is that even safe?
"You know the storm? The huge storm? Well - a lot of it was magic, you know! The storm spirits created something magnificent to tidy up winter and blow everything away. And then the dragons and unicorns got involved, and they all started playing in the clouds and had a magic fight! This one cloud is so full of magic - it's going to explode! You've got to come and see it! Nothing bad will happen ... we think! But if it does, we'll fix the problem right up with our magic! Promise!"
Can you really trust the fairies to keep their promise...? But a magical explosion does sound pretty cool. Perhaps against your better judgement, you agree to go. On the mountainside, you see it - a huge looming storm cloud flickering with rainbow colours and streaks of lightning. There are a few dragons flying nearby, with a heavy layer of anticipation in the air. You can hear laughter from the creatures, which might reassure you that you aren't in any real danger. And then--
The cloud EXPLODES with a fantastic BOOM!
You have to admit - it does look pretty incredible! Just as you take a moment to admire the rainbow explosion, the magical shockwaves blast out and phase through you which causes an immediate effect...! Uh oh?!
Depending on which colour of the magical rainbow blast hits you, a different effect will occur:
Being hit with the colour Red will cause you to kiss the person you see next! Oh, my!
Being hit with the colour Orange will transform you into a merperson! Which is great, except ... you can't see any water around here! Maybe someone can carry you to water.
Being hit with the colour Yellow will give you an animal ears and tail of your choice. So cute! But you also feel the urge to follow the instincts and behaviours of said animal to some degree, too.
Being hit with the colour Green will summon enemies for you to fight! Yikes! From the shadows, monsters manifested out of your worst fears will come to life before trying to attack you - you've been given a weapon to defend yourself, but it would be better if you battled them with another person!
Being hit with the colour Blue will make you spontaneously burst into tears. It seems like nothing can stop you from crying, either - but comfort from another will ease the pain.
Being hit with the colour Purple will cause all of your inner thoughts to hover above your head in a thought bubble. Let's hope you aren't thinking of anything too strange at the moment ...
In a standard fairytale way, all effects end at midnight. Those cheeky fairies didn't keep their promise after all!
We're excited to have you here, and hope you enjoy the prompts!

Shut up...! You know I had good intentions by saying all of that!
( But - oh. He wants to ... perform oral on him? Now that's an act Kaveh rarely gets to receive. In previous acts of intimacy, it's normal for the blonde man to offer first. After all, he's generous by nature - and has a lot of unpacked trauma about receiving pleasurable experiences. Over the years where he was sexually active, he took a lot of pleasure in being deprived while giving pleasure to others. In many ways, it felt entirely deserved. Unfortunately, it was for all of the wrong reasons. Alhaitham's question causes his demeanour to shift, with him reaching up a hand to twirl one of his locks of blonde hair shyly. )
You, um ... are you sure? I don't mind pleasuring you for a little bit ... after all, you've touched me the most so far ... ( This good boy ... )
no subject
I'll take that as explicit permission. [ As tempting as it is to just let his tongue glide along the shaft and tease him even further, Alhaitham wants his body to be washed with waves of pleasure, make him feel weak in the knees and hear more of the squeals and moans that might slip past his lips. ] I want this, Kaveh.
[ That's all Alhaitham has to say before he wraps his mouth around the tip, sucking on it lightly just to see how intense Kaveh reaction will be. ]
no subject
( And just as the Scribe's warm, wet mouth caresses the head of his cock - the blonde man erupts with a delighted squeak. Oh, wow. Kaveh walks back a step and allows the back of his knees to meet the bed's edge, before he sits himself down and spreads his legs. He reaches out a hand to stroke through Alhaitham's ashen locks of hair while he is situated between his legs, and he will notice that Kaveh's hand is trembling. )
A-Ah— ( He breathes out a soft series of moans, cursing under his breath, murmuring his housemate's name. He'll never admit it, but he's always fantasised about what sex with Alhaitham might be like, but ... this particular scenario never entered his fantasies. But now that he's experiencing it? He can't believe how wonderful it is. That mouth - which often speaks words which irritates the living daylights out of him - is pleasuring him in such a way that he could very well forget his name for a moment. )
no subject
His head keeps bobbing slowly but steadily, easing himself to the new sensation. Gag reflex is the last thing he wants to deal with now, really. Not when Kaveh is making these delightful sounds and enjoying himself. While Alhaitham isn't doing this to make it up for these past few depressing months, he hopes that his presence will make things easier for Kaveh. And, perhaps, more pleasant.
It's a weird thought to have while his mouth is full with the other man's cock, but he cares about him. ]
no subject
Alhaitham— ( He moans, rolling his head back. ) I-I can't— ( Hold it, he means to say - with a premature spill of cum pumping into Alhaitham's mouth as his cock pulses. The internal conflict is intense over whether or not he wants to chase this climax or wait until they have sex. With another sharp gasp, his grip tightens in the other man's hair, and he'll allow Alhaitham to decide whether or not he wants to bring him to orgasm so soon or not. At the very least, he offers a warning: ) I'm so close—
no subject
The words that spill from Kaveh's mouth make him wonder about what his next steps should be. The precum on his tongue clearly indicates that despite his potential inhibitions, Kaveh is enjoying this. The last comment, however, helps with making the final decision. Doubling down his efforts, Alhaitham doesn't stop bobbing his head even for a second. His goal is to have the blonde man come in his mouth and finally forget about everything else, even if for a few moments. ]
no subject
( Ohhhh, fuck - when Alhaitham increases the momentum of his thrusts, Kaveh knows that he's soon to be a goner. His body tenses and twitches, writhing at the mercy of his housemate's mouth - until the pleasure is too much for him to take any longer and he crashes over the edge, announcing his orgasm with a very pronounced squeal. ) Unh-! ( It's too late for him to announce his release - he floods the other man's mouth with his spend - and there's a lot of it. Kaveh continues to moan and write, taken so aback by the intense pleasure that he forgets his name for a moment. Holy shit. No thoughts, head empty. )
no subject
Not bad for my first time, I'd say.
[ Maybe in other circumstances, he wouldn't be so quick to announce that. Still, Alhaitham wants Kaveh to know that no one else before him had this kind of relationship with him. Hopefully, it'll serve as another ego boost if he's lucky. ]
no subject
Your ... first time? ( Wait, does this mean ... )
Alhaitham, are you ... a virgin?
( Not that there's anything wrong with that, but. They've never spoken about their sex lives before. This is brand new information!! )
no subject
I am. [ There's no reason for him to deny it, neither is he embarrassed by that. ] You're my first partner, if you want me to reiterate.
[ He's not sure why Kaveh seems so surprised considering that Alhaitham doesn't spend much time with other people to begin with. ]
no subject
Really? ( A possessive part of him is thrilled by this revelation. He may be a reckless disaster with his own sex life, but he's glad that Alhaitham hasn't been with anyone apart from him. And while he hates to stroke Alhaitham's ego, he just can't stop himself this one time. ) Mm. I know you hate being around people, but ... you have such high sex appeal, I guess I'm a little surprised. Honestly, the way you fight, and that tight fitted black shirt you wear that shows off all your muscles ... to think you haven't shared intimacy with another before is astonishing.
no subject
[ Kaveh's Really? probably doesn't require an answer, yet the blonde man is getting it anyway. What comes next brings a small smile to Alhaitham's lips—surprisingly, it has nothing to do with these smug smiles he's capable of pulling out. ]
Is it really that astonishing? I don't like complications and relationships like that tend to cause some inconveniences.
[ Kaveh being the exception. ]
no subject
A sigh drifts out of his mouth. )
Only because you're aesthetically pleasing in ways beyond all measure. I know you have the social skills of a tortoise, but ... still. You're ... gorgeous, Alhaitham. Truly.
( He shuffles to the side, inviting the other man to lie down here with him. )
I'm sorry. If you don't want to have sex tonight, we don't have to. I-I just thought ... ( Sigh. ) You know. I mean, it changes nothing about how I feel ... and I would love to do it with you. But only if you do. Don't you even think about doing something just to make me feel better, because I'll feel so much worse.
no subject
I don't understand the point of your apology. I haven't said that I don't want it. [ A pause. ] Well, I haven't confirmed it either, so maybe your concerns are valid to some extent. I want to make love to you and it's not to make you feel better.
no subject
( It's a fragile time in his life. His depression manifested into the worst spiral he's had in years, so he's a lot more insecure and tender than he would be normally. Something in his heart flutters when Alhaitham says "make love", and Kaveh can't stop himself from leaning up to tenderly kiss him with a hand cupping his cheek. )
If you like, I can ... show you what to do? But if you change your mind at any point, just say.
no subject
[ The scribe decides to ignore the brief yet sharp pain in his chest when he says that. It's too irrational to pay any attention to it, anyway. ]
no subject
I'm not assuming you'll change your mind. I'm saying you're allowed to change your mind. There is a difference. Consent during sex is extremely important.
( And Alhaitham is right. Kaveh is experienced, which is useful. But he's never loved anyone that he's had sex with before, so ... this will be a first within its own right. ) I- mmm ... I need to see if there's any lubricant in this room. ( Excuse him as he leans over to the bedside table and - lo and behold, there is a bottle of lubricant oil inside of it. It seems that the keepers of this inn really spoil their guests. )
no subject
Have you seen me change my mind that easily?
[ This time around, it's Alhaitham who presses his lips against Kaveh's first while his hand traces the curve of his spine. ]
We should have checked that before having this conversation. If there's none, I'll go ask for some.
no subject
( Nothing more, nothing less. Kaveh shuffles back and places the glass bottle of lubricant into Alhaitham's palm with an embarrassed smile. )
No need. There's some provided. ( A beat. ) I-I'm suddenly feeling quite embarrassed, haha ... how shall we proceed with this? I can do it myself and show you, or ... if you want to, I can allow you to try ... ( Oh, he's blushing. )
no subject
Watching you do it first sounds like a reasonable option. [ It falls in line with his whole observation logic, too. ] But I want to try doing it myself. That should give you an idea of how compatible we are.
[ Alhaitham wouldn't be himself if he didn't come up with a pausible reason why the second option might be even better, even if it isn't really necessary. ]
no subject
All right. ( Kaveh rolls onto his side and opens his legs, facing Alhaitham. He first considered if he should get on all fours, or lay on his front, but ... facing him feels more intimate somehow. The blonde man slackly rests his arms around the other man's neck. ) Just one to start .. nice and slow.
no subject
[ Alhaitham takes a moment to enjoy this sight, his expression as stoic as ever... at least until Kaveh gives him the instructions. That, for some reason, makes the scribe's cheeks grow warmer. ]
Understood. [ No longer than a few moments later, the bottle of lubricant is opened with a soft popping sound and Alhaitham makes sure to coat his finger with a thick layer of the liquid before he reaches down, teasing Kaveh's entrance at first. ] I hope that's not too fast.
no subject
Not fast enough, I'd argue ... ( He plants a reassuring kiss on the other man's neck. ) Go ahead. You can't break me.
no subject
Is this your way of telling me that you like it rough?
[ In the end, the scribe settles for teasing while his two fingers slip inside, slowly curling and stretching. ]
Duly noted.
no subject
( Ugh, no. He can't even bicker while this is happening to him. It's such an intimate act - and it's happening right now with a man that he's been pining for over such a long period of time. Kaveh's hand trembles as it settles on Alhaitham's arm, eyes closing, while soft breathy sounds of pleasure draw from his lips. It certainly won't help him if he's tense when he should be relaxing, so the architect takes a deep breath, adjusting the position of his hips so that Alhaitham can angle his finger deeper inside of him. )
Mmm ... ( Alhaitham has seen Kaveh in many vulnerable states in his life, but this is one entirely new. He's flustered, trembling, clinging to him with adoring sounds of praise drifting from him. ) That's perfect. Just like that ... ( It should be clear as daylight that Kaveh loves this. )
