There were things Lucretia couldn’t take from them.

One night Taako makes lamb pot pie for Magnus. He takes a few bites and stops, “This is my favorite food.”

Taako is almost back in the kitchen when he turns with a casual. “No duh.”

“No this is my favorite food but every time I’ve had it, it’s been missing— something. This isn’t missing something.”

“Apples.” Taako says with a shrug. “Weird as hell, but it’s your gullet not mine.”

Magnus stares for a long time and Taako finally figures out how weird it is he knows that without Magnus having ever told him.

It’s spooky.

Taako retreats.

Magnus knows the lyrics to an old dwarven campfire song that only him and Merle seem to have heard of. There’s a dance and Magnus knows all the steps.

Half way through Merle stops him. “How do you know this?”

Magnus doesn’t have an answer.

Merle beats Taako at chess for the fourteenth time and Taako put his forehead to the table in defeat. “Why are you so good at the games?”

“A friend taught me.”

“Who? The inventor of chess?”

It’s rhetorical but Merle pauses because… he can’t remember.

She thought she was thorough but she forgot trees falling in the forest still make a sound. Even when she’s not around to hear.

my favorite subtle taz fic goof is kravitz described as being “dressed down” or “in casual wear” or “half dressed” and it’s still like. a button down shirt and pants. half a suit. 

barry: you know, you don’t have to dress up just to come to family dinners

kravitz, genuinely confused: … this shirt has barrel cuffs and a point collar

barry, in jorts: … what does that mean?

taako, in pajama shorts and one of lup’s t-shirts that says “FLAME ON” on it: really, barold, you don’t even know what a point collar is? have we taught you nothing?
