Sand Dollars
TW - An unnecessary amount of knowledge about Sea Urchins as well as Sand Dollars. And Lasko being Lasko. AN - This was not a fun rewrite, but it was fun nonetheless. WC - 1104
This Wonderful Idea was requested (technically) by @cyanbugremix
The last time they were on the beach was when they were little. Perhaps they felt a connection to the water and the little person that they were walked right into it. Of course, any caring parents would have freaked out- but this wasn’t about that. This was about Lasko and them. Lasko who’d been so freaked out about exam week.
Lasko who had been so worried about everything but himself. The same airhead who wasn’t taking good care of himself. And that bothered you, so a beach day was in need. After all who doesn’t want to feel the sand against their skin? Of course, they made sure to pack sunscreen.
The water was clear, the air salty; Just as they remembered this brought back so many wholesome memories. The little vacation time they get between their busy schedules is always welcome. They especially didn’t mind spending it with their stressed-out partner even if he could be a bit of an airhead.
As they continued to think about Lasko, something in the water brushed up against their leg. What was that? They glanced down and what do you know? It was a sea shell, and the tides must have brought it to the surface.
They’d never seen something like this. It was circular, with some oddly cut lines. There was even a small flower design on it. They had never seen something like this. They’ve seen many different sea shells before but never this. Maybe Lasko knew what it was? Where was Lasko?
They carefully picked up the weirdly beautiful shell now to find Lasko. The last time they saw him; he was searching for something on the other side of the beach. Perhaps he found one of these shells too! Well, they wouldn’t know unless they went to the other side of the beach.
—
Lasko sighed to himself, he could not find a Sand Dollar to save his life. He wanted to give one to his dear. They have stunning shells.. Some funny facts about Sand Dollars they could be considered sea shells, but sand dollars or sea cookies are a type of sea urchin.
Unlike regular sea urchins; their bodies display secondary front-to-back bilateral symmetry. Another fun fact about these snapper biscuits there are no morphological distinguishing features between the females and the males!
He could go on and on about the cool facts about Sand Dollars and sea urchins in general but, that's not why he’s here. He wanted to find one for his dear, the one who was always patient with him. The one who loves everything about him.. And I mean everything.
He took a seat defeated, the blaring sun was starting to become too much. I guess he didn’t take into account how hot it’d be. Though it was said it was supposed to rain today, the sun in the sky didn’t seem to agree with that. But he that was fine for now. Maybe when it cooled down he would continue his search for the runaway Sand Dollar.
But for right now some rest and hydration were in need. Now that he thought about it.. What did Sand Dollars exactly stand for? They hold a deep spiritual meaning, yes, but as for a regular meaning, he didn’t know.
As for spiritual meaning: divinity, transformation, and inner strength. As for a regular or nonspiritual meaning perhaps hope? He didn’t know why but it stuck. Was it possibly the reason he wanted to find one for his water-inclined partner?
Hoping to see their beautiful smile, to see the beauty of their smile outweigh that of the biggest star in the sky. Lasko is a hopeful man, hoping one day he’d stop stammering every five seconds. Perhaps one of these days his wishes would get answered but for now he’d wait.
He’d rest up and enjoy the trip that was offered to him. After all dear didn’t have to invite him, but they chose to. Though he was never good at hiding stuff from them, they’d flash that lovely smile of theirs and he’d crumble like cookies. Thinking about their smile brought a bright pink flush to his face.
And for a moment he could swear he could hear them calling his name. It was getting closer.
‘’ Laskooooo! ‘’
Okay, he wasn’t crazy, he stood up and to his surprise there they were running towards him. It kinda reminded him of a movie scene.. When the protagonist finally gets the one they’ve wanted since the start of the movie. They didn’t seem intent on stopping.
Wait. What.
Before Lasko could react they crashed into him. ‘’ Lasko Dearest are you okay? ‘’
To say the least, Lasko was not okay. He was dazed from the crash on the sand, as well as dazed from his lover's face inches away from his. This was far from the first time they’d been this close. And it would be far from the last time they’d be this close. Yet it was this closeness that flustered Lasko. Time after time.
‘’ y..y-..y-yeah I’m okay! Just.. distracted.. ‘’ the way their hair fell on their face as they lay on top of him was enchanting. This really felt like a scene out of a movie. Actually no, a book. He didn’t think it was possible to fall in love twice but.. Here he was.
‘’ well that’s good, I didn’t mean to knock you over dearest. In fact I wanted to show you something. ‘’ they placed a kiss on his lips before climbing off of the flustered airman. Of course, this action caused him to malfunction but it's okay. Right?
‘’ w..w-w..-well what d..d-did you wa-want to s-s-show me? ‘’ god could he stop stammering for five damn seconds?
‘’ I found this. ‘’ they show him the shell that they found earlier. ‘’ I’ve never seen something like this. And I was wondering if you knew what it was. ‘’ they finished with a smile.
Well, would you look at that? They’d found the Sand Dollar he wanted to give to them. He couldn’t help but break into a fit of laughs. ‘’ I’ve been looking for one of those all day ‘’ the irony was just beautiful.
‘’ well, what is it Dearest? ‘’ they looked at him confused.
‘’ A Sand Dollar ‘’ he couldn’t help but smile. Instead of him finding it for them. They found it for him.
‘’That smile tells me I’m in for a long ride. ‘’ Dear couldn’t help but smile as well,‘’ tell me all about it Dearest. ‘’
‘’ Are you sure.. You..know I talk a lot.. ‘’
‘’ Yes, I enjoy hearing you speak about the things you’re passionate about ‘’

the hc that things would b weird between freelancer and dear just because they’re a water elemental is so fucking weird to me??? no they wouldn’t. freelancers not a bigot 💀
they attend a school full of all different kinds of magic users. why the fuck would they act weird around water elementals just cuz one did them wrong?? kody is irredeemable and i would drown him myself if i could, but he’s not bad because he’s a water elemental, he’s a water elemental who happened to be a bad person.
traumas not an excuse to b hocus pocus racist
the damn crew calling freelancer, “freelancer” always made me slightly confused cuz that’s just an empowered race, but now i imagine they give all of them nicknames based on their powers
huxley: earthworm
damien: firefly
lasko: tornado (or possibly fanboy)
dear: waterworks (sometimes tsunami if they’re arriving with lasko)
gavin: satan’s little helper
grabbing the torches as we speak /j/lh
i actually kinda get it tho. i love poly damn but a lot of the actual connection we’ve given them all is mostly fanon, i feel? like we don’t get a whole bunch of their dynamic together. i still love them sm tho!!
yall pls don’t burn me at the stake, but personally…
not a fan of poly damn…

headcanon of the day
freelancer frequently worries about their career. more specifically, they worry about the fact that they don’t really seem to have any ambition when it comes to a career. they’re a human born, so they were brought up with an entirely different view on life. when they realized and accepted that they had magic, all their previous plans for their life dissipated completely. but even before, they never gave it much thought—they were never quite passionate about anything. and then their powers came along, and eventually, they were so passionate about it. their life was given a whole new meaning; one that they adored. their newfound focus on this path took away from any attention given to a career, but now… it’s an increasing source of anxiety. they find themselves constantly comparing their lives to their friends. damien knows exactly what he wants to do—-he always has, and he’s always gotten it. freelancer was so proud of him once he announced his new position, but a sick feeling of envy and apprehension took over them as well. and it’s the same situation with huxley and dear, too. they’re both incredibly talented and driven, knowing what they want in a career and always striving to get it. gavin can’t relate to them either...though he may have a shared experience of not having career plans at one point in time, he’s now diligent and focused in his studies and plans. he talks more and more about what he wants to do in the future, and freelancer is there, encouraging him and cheering him on. but still, there’s this nagging, inescapable feeling of inferiority brewing inside them whenever he brings it up. if anyone could relate to them, it would’ve been lasko. he wasn’t used to this life, hadn’t grown up knowing about this magical world and planning his life with it all in mind, like the others. but they had met him as a counselor, and he only seemed to grow in his job at d.a.m.n, constantly reforming and achieving promotion after promotion. freelancer just feels so guilty—they know it’s pathetic, but they can’t help it. the insecurity and self-doubt derived from their apathy is utterly consuming. so they continue to attend their monotonous jobs, changing them constantly, and searching for aspiration..all in vain.
Just had a one shot idea but don't know for what couple so
Place your bets now
D.a.m.n crew orders a pizza for game night. What's on the pizza? And how long will it take Guy to split a single (admittedly large) pizza into six parts to get every part the way they wanted it?
(First things first Freelancer is a bland "I'll just take cheese" kinda person and Gavin is like "mh. the gates of hell. absolute pain. yum.")
[Also can you imagine Mr. Lasko "Anxiety" Moore being on the phone to Max's Rustic and having to tell the person on the other end of the line to split one large pizza into six parts? He would die.]
lasko audios I'd like to see!! :) 🌬
(I love these two so much)
- swimming with coworker and getting to see them show off a little magic (maybe a little more than just magic eheheheh)
- another dnd audio!! I don't personally rock with it, but I want to hear him yap about his hobbies!!!
- SLEEP AID SLEEP AID SLEEP AID. I have insomnia.
- a lil picnic date! imagine lasko kissing frosting or something off coworker's face 😵💫
- an audio that contains some coworker lore! I want to know why they came to dahlia!
- a "waking up next to" audio. it would fix me.
- just a cuddling audio 😭
- a lunch break date? I want to know more about coworker's job!!
- solstice comfort audio. I want to see lasko tender and caring! (ALSO A COWORKER LORE OPPORTUNITY??)
- anything reverse comfort. maybe he's upset over something regarding his blood family? maybe just a work thing? so many possibilities!
- confirmation on if this twink wears glasses or not. it's important.
- maybe a "helping out your boyfriend with chores" type video? some domestic fluff would be awesome!
- scary movie night :)
I think I finally found biblically accurate Lasko and Dear
It’s so them I’m going to start screeching
William Solaire having a ‘consort’ who’s an absolute menace of a human. Imagine this centuries old vampire falling in love with a human who has the worst self-care habits known to man but he’s head-over-heels regardless.
They work the blood-drives for the clan, which is oddly professional of them considering their cocky personality. They organize the donations, and schedule the deliveries- all that important shit. Since the Solaire Clan is their biggest client, they’re spending quite a lot of time over there working out the details with William.
….Just hear me out for a second
They dress super professionally every time they visit Wonderworld, using knock off scents from dollar stores, and thrifted loose-fitting button downs with tight dress pants. -Bonus points if they’ve got either a black or deep red corset over a button down. Clacking dress shoes shuffling down a narrow hallway to a break room for some water + Will watching them leave.
Their whole vibe is: dumbass who’s only a dumbass on the inside but is super professional and intimidating on the outside x an old ass vampire who’s the leader of the most important clan in Dahlia- but is also just as much of a dumbass.
I’m trying to think of a name for them: like how the listeners have specific and fitting petnames- I’m thinking of Chief/Dear (Dearie/dearest)
Chief is more sarcastic or followed by a salute of some sort from William, but Dear is more sincere and romantic.
Dear works for an important branch of the department, and used to partner with Ansel and Sweetheart before strengthening the blood-drive aspect of the donations that were lacking in organization at the time. The worked their way past Jett, branching off as manager for the company. They outwardly hate how Jett runs things, they absolutely aren’t afraid to speak out about that. They literally could care less about anyone else’s feelings on the matter, all they care about it getting their job done.
Dear will admit that working with William definitely takes the edge off of working in a position such as theirs. And seeing how calmly he handles his position as king begins their admiration of the old blood.
Then Dear got involved with Quinn-
THEYRE DARLINS UNEMPOWERED FRIEND WHO GOT ATTACKED BY QUINN‼️
That’s how Dears magic manifested (much like Lovely)- they’re a gravitational energetic. (Unless you wanna change shit around that’s totally chill I’m just having fun with this)
William is more than aware of their situation, but often avoids talking about it to keep professional despite his every inkling to do the opposite. He’s blunt, but respectful.
—————————————————————————————————
William and Dear going over paperwork for scheduling the next delivery when their fingers brush as they pass the pen back and forth
Mmmmmm Dear having a bunch of scars from Quinn’s attack and William brushing his thumb over the ones on their hands.
Sam thinks they’re the best thing to happen to the clan and isn’t afraid to give Dear credit where credit is due.
William and Dear staying after-hours together just drinking and joking about work. Dear sipping whiskey and talking shit about Jett, William drinking blood from a glass and gloating about Vincent. GETTING DRUNK AND MAKING OUT.
Dear apologizing through kisses and talking about how wrong this is but never stops. His hands on their waist, guiding them closer as he presses gentle, hungry kisses to their neck. (which leave lil red lip-prints because of the blood he just had) LIKE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING ONE ANOTHER
Running into shit, knocking stuff over, unbuttoning shirts to feel each other’s skin. “We shouldn’t be doing this,” “I know” *kissing* “we’re business partners- Will.” “I know” *kissing harder*
HE LOSES HIS MIND EVERY TIME THEY CALL HIM WILL IT JUST HITS DIFFERENT WHEN ITS THEM
Ugh and avoiding each other afterwards, THE CHASE UGHHH THE TENSION MUAH THE FORBIDDENNESS CHEFS KISS MUAH MUAH- THE MUTUAL PINING
- Oh yeah the clan has seen how they act around one another and yes everyone knows and yes everyone is impatient. They have “just fuck already” energy and Fred isn’t afraid to say so.
- Lovely thinks it’s incredibly charming how gentle William is with Dear, and how intimidating the two look side-by-side. AND THEY LOOK LIKE ABSOLUTE FUCKING TYRANTS WHEN THEY DO.
Dear suffers from resting bitch face, William is intimidating and knows it so he sports a quiet lil smile while in public or around the clan.
William hosting a clan ball and inviting Dear and the entirety of their branch. WILLIAM AND DEAR DANCING TOGETHER- they waltz and it is truly the most captivating dance the clans ever seen like the whole fucking floor clears:
The intensity in their stare as they glide across the ballroom floor, how they never once look away from each other. William is smirking a little but Dear is just stone-faced. They’re so lost in Williams piercing silver gaze, and the feelings for the vampire king that they never wanted. In their head it feels so wrong, their body is begging them to get off the floor- but their heart is simply aflame as he holds them gently and stares into their eyes.
Dear is absolutely hypnotized by this man, that they just let him guide them wherever he wanted. The song could play for eternity, and their heart wouldn’t miss a single beat.
