Let's be 1905 but not 1917, let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers...

IDK, ask about stuff you wanna know about, stuff I've mentioned in passing but not really TOLD you guys.

C'mon.

He tells it like he was wrestling against Devil's Snare. Nate and Gabe NEVER stop correcting him and telling of Joe's girly scream when he realized what had happened.

And Ryland's actually a decent herbologist, he's got a whole greenhouse out behind the cafe, and thus, he completely identifies with Kevin's plight of STOP TRAMPLING FLOWERBEDS, MIKE. (NOT MY FAULT THEY'RE IN THE WAY, KEVIN.) (YOU COULD WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING.) (I'LL DO THAT NEXT TIME, AND THEN WE'LL LOSE THE SUSPECT.) (>_<)

is Ryland a specialist in "'erbs, man!" too, perchance?

does he buy Kevin a drink after esp. hard cleanups man ("The gerberas, they were...~gulp~ petals everywhere")

The thing is. Ryland is a specialist there and sometimes Alex gets involved and then they get things like what made Gabe see The Cobra. After that, Victoria has to limit them to a couple of batches a year, jfc.

And Mike's friends (aside from his team/people Kevin already knew, natch) don't really MEET Kevin until Mike and Kevin have been together for a few months. But when Kevin tells Ryland about all the destroyed greenhouses and flowerbeds, he just pats his hand and offers him free tasty beverages for 'emotional trauma'.

ahaha, yes, tell me more about how Mike's side of things takes to Kevin - who approves, who doesn't, who tries to corrupt him to the Cobra, etc?

[mayqueen517.livejournal.com]

Gabe kind of thought it was weird, but dude, it's all cool. Victoria sort of knew OF Kevin from Greta and Nicole, etc. But the people who are the most recalcitrant are Mike's team. There's a period of a few months where nobody is quite sure how to react to Kevin now not only being there in an official capacity, but as Mike's boyfriend. It's a little weird, but they're never, like, MEAN or anything about it.

(Mike's mother is, reportedly, thrilled with Kevin.)

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

(and Kevin's mother? Or do the mother's take tea and scones and discuss their marriage, because, Merlin's beard, if they left it to the boys, it would never happen)

So, who was the first member of the team to walk in on them being ~ahem~ boyfriends :DDDD

[mayqueen517.livejournal.com]

(Kevin's family isn't as supportive as ANY of them would like, but Kevin discovered, around the time when he announced he was going to be an Obliviator, that it's his life. His mother (and father) aren't exactly FOND of Mike, but they love Kevin.) (There are, however, some mentions of perhaps setting Kevin up with a nice girl from a good wizarding family.)

That would be dear Chiz who walked in on them being ~boyfrands. Then again, to be fair, when one gets up for a middle-of-the-night glass of water, you don't expect to see two friends sucking face like the world was ending tomorrow. But. Chiz can't honestly say he was surprised by it. (Hello, I do have eyes, Michael.) (Shut up, Chiz)

(omg, now you need to tell me more about their awkward attempts to Find Kevin A Nice Girl (and they are nice, but they're also Not Mike))

and AHAHAHAHA, Chiz. (now I'm wondering if purity rings exist in the wizarding world) Also, does the Ministry care they're both dating and working together? Or is there, like, rules or shit about not fishing off the company pond?

(They once tried to set Kevin up with Nicole.) (They did, at least, have a good time.)


They do, to the extent that it depends on the pureblood family and all. The Jonases PREFER that their children go to the marriage bed pure, however, there is the thing of it's a horrid patriarchy in that it mostly refers to the young ladies being pure, rather than the males. Greta and Victoria campaign against that notion SO HARD, dear lord. They are like Hermione with S.P.E.W. However, Kevin had decided, during his last year of school, that while it only applied to the young ladies, he liked the thought of just one person for him. It made him sort of lonely sometimes, and it's always awkward to explain the Wizard's Oath he has with Nick ('cause Nick is the one person who wouldn't let Kevin break it) to people. But Mike, while not really GETTING it, tries to understand.


And that's a good question!! Basically, Greta sort of adores Kevin (he is like a puppy, oh my god) (Greta, we talked about this, you should not call your employees puppies.) (BUT VICTORIA, HE'S ADORABLE.), and she works it out that Nicole takes over the majority of their casework, and assigns Kevin to Mike's team as an addendum of sorts. It's actually a pretty sweet deal, as Kevin gets a pay raise and the amount of complaints is cut by, like, five.



(and sadly, it is bedtime for me! ♥ ♥ ♥)

(Nicole and Kevin's not!date would have been epic. Nicole would have planned it so her family, at least, would Never Ever Set Her Up Again)

awww, Kevin the true romantic ♥ I could literally pester you forever with questions about this verse :DD but it is also bedtime for this little black duck. quack! sleep well, bb! ~mwuah~
