Thanks for the recs!

[shy_magpie]

For my Rusty Quill Gaming rec of the week, why not have a less painful mutual oblivious pining fic? BTW If you are into RQG at all, you should just read everything Roswrym writes, its all good; I might actually cut back on specific recs of their work so I can give more time to less well known authors.
Pick a Petal (4003 words) by roswyrm
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan/Zolf Smith, Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan & Azu, Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan & Grizzop drik Acht Amsterdam
Characters: Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan, Zolf Smith, Grizzop drik Acht Amsterdam, Azu (Rusty Quill Gaming)
Additional Tags: sasha's only really there for like a second at the end so i'm not tagging her, Misunderstandings, Near Death Experiences, Mutual Pining, Oblivious, mutual idiots!!!, Declarations Of Love, Angst with a Happy Ending, Fluff and Angst, First Kiss
Summary:

It was just a slippery slope. Zolf couldn't handle Hamid saying he loved him, and it hurt.
And then Hamid stopped, and it hurt worse.
And then Zolf left, and Hamid probably never even thought about him, and that hurt more.

But he's back, now, and apparently, hearing Hamid tell literally everyone else he loves them and then purposefully skipping over Zolf is the worst. Slippery goddamn slope.

It doesn't matter how many petals he picks off, or what they land on: Hamid loves him not.
Hamid loves him.

Bookmarker's Notes:

slight AU with the full party from Bertie to Azu in it, so not sure where it stands spoiler wise? Good job on the characters, but should also work if you don't know the show.

A fluffy little Marvel fic:
