Summary
Hiring Ron to help in Two Seekers when they were short-handed turned out to be one of Cedric’s best decisions. What he didn’t expect, however, was the stream of new faces dropping by to greet Ron or check in on him. Among them was a young man named Harry, and Cedric wasn’t entirely sure what to make of him.

Summary
Lan Huan looks impossibly handsome when he smiles, “Your receipt is in the bag.”
“You too,” Jiang Cheng finds himself saying, his brain conditioned to the usual dialogue he gets from cafes. Realization dawns and he finds his face going warm from embarrassment and he scrambles to salvage what’s left of his pride, “I– I mean, thanks– again! I– H-Have a good day– Bye!”
Jiang Cheng practically runs out of the cafe, he can never show his face here again. He’s going to have to change his name, change his appearance, shift his major, move to a different country, and start a new life altogether. He can’t believe he just said that! Why did he say that!

Summary
“Do you believe in alternate universes, Dave?”
The air outside is perfectly crisp and cold, or at least you think it would be if not for the fact that the heating has, once again, given up on the NOMAD and thrown a hissy fit by refusing to cooperate, so the air is actually humid and plastering itself to your skin.

Summary
It was one fateful, rainy evening that Aventurine walked into an unknown coffee shop. It was late, he needed something to help him get through the night's work... And it turned out that his caffeine came with something he hadn't realized he needed: lectures, banter, and real, genuine companionship. In short, it was Dr. Veritas Ratio that he'd really needed.

Summary
"I promise, promise, promise, that was not flirting. Or, I didn't intend for it to be flirting." I said, throwing a look to the three of them.
"Sure," Maggie smirked at me.
"I mean it!" I whined, but they were all just smiling or smirking. "What?"
"That's two guys today that are conventionally attractive and have shown interest in you, Hen," Sam said. "Snatch. Them. Up."
"Both of them?" I said. "That seems like a lot of work."
"It'll be worth it, believe me." She nodded at me with wide eyes.
"I can't believe I'm letting you even entertain the idea," I shook my head.
...
This is the most self-indulgent bullshit I've ever written. My source is: I'm a barista at a coffee shop. The original characters in this fic may or may not be based on real people. The events also may or may not be what happens in the coffee shop. Be warned.
Also, if you work with me and you see this, ✨️no, you didn't✨️

Summary
Puppeteer, probably the most feared villain of all time, was sitting on Grian's kitchen counter. He was covered in either someone else's blood or his own, probably a mix of both.
His dark pink, light blue, and black suit was clearly stained with some kind of blood. He was also clearly eating something, the bottom half of his mask pushed down under his chin, leaving only his goggles to hide his identity. He had one of Grian's spoons in hand, sitting on Grian's kitchen counter, eating-
Was that Nutella?

"Something to say?" she asked, a small smile etched on her face. However, Void averted his gaze and looked back at the ground. Estel noticed that every time she caught him looking, he always looked away fast. In fact, he never looked at her for more than a few seconds.
A collection of prompts from (mostly) #FFXIV2022 (since there isn't one this year) about Estel and Zoraal Ja, including Canon Divergence and Alternative Universes. There's a day delay just so I can edit the writing.

Summary
During the summer, she’d taken up some gigs, and worked her ass off for some cash. Lawn work, moving stuff around, whatever she could find. Might as well put her stupid muscles to use. And somehow, she’d gotten accepted into a college on the outskirts of the Big City™ on a scholarship, along with getting a job at said college's library as an assistant (nerd job.), but whatever, cash is cash. And majoring in creative writing sure as hell was a gamble.
After exploring campus, she found herself in front of a coffee shop- Actually… It was a… Coffee / flower shop? Half of it was selling plants, the other selling drinks. ‘Butterscotch Coffee and Flowers’. Corny.
Or,
Susie got into college. She has to deal with grades, a part time job, and... Becoming a regular at a coffee/flower shop with an off-puttingly attractive human as the barista.
