NMN day 30 - Make anything that makes you happy

Summary:

Nathaniel finally gets to show Marc one of his favorite cartoons, which is Definitely Not The Owl House. (It's totally The Owl House.)

Notes:

Originally the plan was to write some meta thing about something wrapping up and they're all excited about it yada yada but I wanted to write this and the prompt was write something that makes you happy and this made me happy :) shoutout to Niki for being awesome btw

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“So, you said this show is about a girl who finds herself in another dimension, and has to find a way to survive?” Marc asks as he and Nathaniel sit on the latter’s couch together.

 

“Yup, with a healthy dose of found family tropes and near-death experiences.” The redhead confirms as he turns the TV on and throws an arm around his boyfriend.

 

The taller chuckles, “Sounds delightful.”

By halfway through the first episode, Marc is already interested. “I like the little one, he’s funny. Super cute, too.”

 

“Oh, you’re gonna love his backstory once we get into season 2.” Nathaniel promises ominously, not elaborating on exactly what he means by that.

 

“Oh god, did they give the dog a tragic backstory?” The ravenette asks with a chuckle, leaning further against the other.

 

“... No comment.”

“How wise of her to ask this complete stranger if she can live with her.” The writer snarks with a raised eyebrow.

 

Nathaniel snorts, “You really think a Disney girl is going to make a wise decision in episode one? If that were the case, there would be no more Disney cartoons.”

 

He laughs, “Okay, you’ve got a point. She is of perfectly average wisdom for a Disney girl.” He throws a leg over the other as the next episode begins to play.

 

~

 

“Man, this girl is way too trusting. She’s not actually the Chosen One, right?” Marc grumbles.

 

“Oh, of course not. That’s actually a huge plot point in the show, but I’ll save the infodumping for when we get to that part.” The shorter replies with a proud smile.

 

The ravenette leans up from Nathaniel’s chest to give him a kiss on the cheek, “I can’t wait to hear it.” He says earnestly.

 

Nathaniel is unsuccessful in his attempts not to blush.

 

~

 

“See! She learns her lesson, you can’t trust everyone you meet.” The redhead proclaims excitedly.

 

Marc throws a hand into the air in celebration, “Finally!”

 

Nathaniel chuckles, “She’ll learn plenty more lessons by the end of the show. Hell, by the end of the season, she’s gonna need a bit of therapy.”

 

“Can’t have a Disney girl without a need for therapy.” He shakes his head fondly. “... Wait, did the old lady just eat that guy.”

 

“Yup. She’s a bit strange.”

 

~

 

“Woah… the isles are beautiful.” Marc sighs, relaxing against the other.

 

“They really are.” Nathaniel kisses Marc on the head, “A little like someone I know, actually.”

 

“Ohh, youuu…” The ravenette giggles before sitting up to give the artist a proper kiss. “You’re adorable, you know.”

 

“More adorable than the dog?” He asks as a joke.

 

Way more adorable than the dog.” Marc replies, adoration clear in his voice, as he presses their foreheads together lovingly.

Notes:

And, with that, NathMarc November 2024 is over. Catch me spelling Nathmarc correctly for the first time ever shsjhshjs

I have been complaining about doing NMN all month, but really, this was an amazing decision and I don't regret it one bit. This taught me so many things and improved my skills a lot. I don't know if I'll do it again, but from this I not only learned how the hell to code a game in Scratch, but I also figured out that I do indeed have it in me to commit to an upload schedule and to finish something by a pre-determined date. What does this mean? It means that I could be the author with an ongoing fic. It means that I could be the author that updates regularly. I don't have to write the whole thing out a year in advanced, I could just draft it and write it as I go. Does this mean I'm going to do that? I don't know yet. But it feels so awesome to know that I'm capable of this.

Thank you to the NathMarc Multiverse discord server for first of all giving me easier access to the prompt list that my ass would /not/ have found otherwise, but also being incredibly supportive the whole time, even when I had to bail on one update because I hated every second of writing it. If you too would like to be part of this wonderful community, here's the link to the server: https://discord.gg/AYb3t7dbPA

I hope to see you soon :)

 

And without further a-do or whatever, Cat/Inky/YellowInk, signing off. (AKA: moving on to different fics JASHAJH I say this like it'll be my last time online my ass is addicted to this site (though I do live in America soooo... *cough* wish me luck chat))
