In honor of our favorite enigmatic server's birthday, I want to share some sweet and spicy facts about them. πŸ‘€

  • Sweet

Oof, the W likes to pretend that they don't have much fluffiness to them, but let's disabuse them of that notion. I can only spare a few.

-They have almost messed up their prized motorcycle to check on an animal beside the road, and they do regularly look out for strays.

-W will memorize when the MC tends to visit the Fernweh Diner. Uh, that's fluffy, depending on your dynamic with them. XD They can look forward to those visits, secretly preferring those days/times.

-They keep mementos of the MC. πŸ‘€ Although I do feel this could be viewed positively or negatively by readers once you learn why/how.

-Deeper in romance, if the MC has stayed over at Mal's place a few times, they suddenly just won't sleep unless the MC is present. πŸ™ƒ Is that healthy? No. They will just sit there and wait, always waiting.

-You're their other, better half, full stop.

  • Spicy 

I'm only going to spare a few of these more heated facts since it can largely depend on your dynamic with the W. πŸ‘€ They can be kind of particular, ngl.  πŸ˜˜

-Tends to be dominant. However, Mal would only ever show a more submissive, less instigating side to the MC; it doesn't come as naturally. Otherwise, they will set the pace and steer things or else nothing's going to happen, but they would tease the person to death.

-Deeper in romance, they will rest a hand on your thigh under the table or rest a hand on the small of your back while you're out.

-If Mal is bored, it's your sacred duty to alleviate that boredom by entertaining them. 😌 (This is actually sweeter than you might think considering their server role; they are showing you a need/want.)

-RIP if they become bored while out with your 'little Fernweh Gang'; they'll just start staring intently at you until you clue into the fact that they don't want to be there or that you need to come sit closer.

-They do like to work you up until it's a little maddening; I'm sorry.

-Cheat code: Mal can become much softer if you say their full name very softly, possibly with a pleading or awestruck edge to it. They will instantly melt or show some tenderness; use this hack with care. πŸ’ž

-They have more scars than you realize; maybe you'll learn why.

_ _ _

Happy Birthday, Mal! πŸπŸ’žπŸ° As another gift, I do want to tease that Mal will be featured in the upcoming TFS: Book Two alpha content drop, so TFS patrons will be seeing more of them. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead! :D

CAM RUSHING OVER THE MOMENT I SAW "SPICY" AND I'M ABSOLUTELY HERE FOR ALL THE FACTS (how do they feel about biting? πŸ‘€ both spicy wise and affectionately?))

Time to play a little game I like to call....playing TFS again to pick my favorite Mal canon playthrough.

I have so, so many theories about Mal, but try as I might, I can't make heads or tails of them. And then at the same time, they're this absolutely charismatic, fascinating and weirdly endearing character that you just want to comfort?? I don't know what happened to them, but I always feel the distinct urge to comfort them? They're a walking red flag, but they're SO much more than that; I love how you created a "spooky/mysterious" romancable character that still seems so approachable and sweet! Enough gushing for today. Hope you know how well this speaks of your writing skills and creativity, though! This entire story is AMAZING. Also, I was wondering about a rough age estimate of the characters? Like, just a vague estimate of how old they are. Sorry if you've answered that question before somewhere.

A great day to be a Mal-mancer askldjkgfvhal. *takes notes with intent* That cheat code has me deceased. Cannot wait for book 2 Mal.

every time we learn more about mal my mc noire just finds them harder and harder to resist. theyre hitting all the right beats but he doesnt want to make it so easy for the waiter 😭 he wants the waiter to put some work in too. how is he going to decide between reese and mal

EvilChani

Welp, that's settled. Now I definitely need to make a MC for Mal... both the sweet and the spicy are perfection! The bad part is, now I get to spend the next two weeks settling on a name, personality, and trying to figure out my MC!

lacunafiction

I was hoping the spicy along with the sweet would draw people inβ€”make them melt and then turn that further gooey.πŸ€’ Well, you know that I’m very handshake emoji with you (and Sparrow) about that. Let’s see about Mal... They would find it amusing unlike how R likes to bite back or mark up the MC, if permitted to do it, so less about reciprocating that attention and more about finding the act itself somewhat novel. Mal would simply watch. They would encourage Sparrow to bite hard, tease him that they can’t quite feel it yet, and oddly enough may compliment them if he can make a mark. So, the key thing is: β€˜how does Mal feel about XYZ’ will largely depend on the MC making them feel something in the first place. They would find affectionate bites cute, while spicy ones can provoke a very different reaction depending on where they are placed and why. πŸ‘€ 😏

lacunafiction

It’s what Mal-mancers deserve. 😈 What’s to come in Book Two continues this trend; I know Mal is pleased about it.

lacunafiction

Honestly, the MC having that cheat code since the start could have changed so many things, lol. πŸ₯Ί Maybe you will eventually get a chance to use/discover it; Mal will make you work for it though.πŸ˜‰

lacunafiction

I know for a fact that Mal would be very pleased at you being drawn in deeper by their mystery, although your need to offer comfort to them would stoke feelings that they are much less smug about. It’s sweet, and I do see where this urge to comfort them can come from despite how they can be creepy/unnerving given some of their underlying behavior. I’m so happy that you connect with them in addition to being willing to delve deeper into their mystery to find the real Mal. πŸ₯° (I wonder what helped to shape them...?) I find them extremely compelling to write, so thank you not only for your kindness, but also for being willing to peer deeper into the TFS characters. It makes the writing of this world more meaningful to know how you all engage and theorize about it. πŸ’š I’m excited to share more. That is an excellent question! No worries about asking. :D The characters don’t have set ages rather they are tethered to the MC’s age by nature of your character having grown up with them. In my head, I personally see J a year older and B maybe a little bit younger, but again, the ages are all relatively linked to what you envision for your character to let you connect with Fernweh how you see fit. I did once say that 23/mid twenties for the MC is what I originally had in mind, but references to your character’s age are always kept vague, so that is not a hard fact. So, yes, most of the characters are close in age to your MC. 😊

lacunafiction

Oh, did you take those notes on a particular notepad? πŸ˜‹ Same! I can't wait to write the cheat code coming into play; Mal is looking forward to seeing your MC too. πŸ‘€

lacunafiction

I feel like Mal would want me to encourage you to make some more space in your lovely heart for them. 😌 But I understand! I'm glad this post tempted you.

lacunafiction

Oh, Noire is such a captivating name for a MC! πŸ–€ I do think your MC may be delightfully surprised at just how far Mal will go to secure a place in his heart; it doesn't feel like work to Mal, but something far more important. πŸ‘€πŸ’ž Oh, also I don't envy Noire with that decision between Mal and R; that can create some delectable tension though. >:D

lacunafiction

I like how both the sweet and spicy facts enticed you enough to create a MC for Mal. I know how thoughtful of a character creator you are, so I look forward to meeting her as she takes form. I'm sure that Mal would second this too. 😏

Anonymous

thank you! i'm v fond of the name! oh the way he would be so stunned and so soft if he ever heard mal say that to him. it would just hit way too deeply for him to ignore. and i bet! reese is just so charming and noire has always been weak to men with charm, but he can't ignore the intrigue and allure the waiter is giving him either. noire may be conflicted, but i'm thrilled to see how the ride will go.

I totally understand the narrative decision to keep the ages vague; and it's probably best for the flow of the story, too. As for the characters, you can bet I will peer as deep as I can! Especially Mal and S, though I love the others dearly, too. They're all amazing; B is actually a really close third! But there's something about Mal that's particularly mystifying. It's not just their enigmatic nature, it's the vulnerability hidden beneath it. I've never read about a character that made me/my MC flee/take cover BUT ALSO just sit with them and hold their hand. Mal is creepy at first glance, but not in a truly threatening way, there's always caution there. They're overly familiar, but never outright aggressive; and even when they flirt, they literally ASK FOR PERMISSION first. That is just so rare and endearing. Their whole personality is. Okay, there. I peered deeper again and wrote you an essay xD I will continue to do so forever and ever! πŸ˜‚ Onto TFS with a magnifying glass πŸ”

Wait we get to spend the night at Mal’s house??? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

I'm so torn between Mal and James 😭❀️

lacunafiction

Oh, I love this--they have such different energies, but a common devotion to the MC. πŸ‘€

They all do, which I absolutely adore. Reese is definitely taking over after I read his little piece at the playground. He was in love with the MC even then! ☺️ *picks little kid-Reese up and squishes my cheeks next to his round, baby face*.

lacunafiction

Young R could use all of the hugs and cheek squishes! πŸ˜ŒπŸ–€ There will be more hints about their Verner upbringing and childhood along with how it shaped their character. I love that R is staking a claim in your heart; also, what you said about 'love' has me very: πŸ‘€πŸ˜‰. R's dynamic with the MC is very special to them even after all of this time.

Okay but is it too much to hope that I can somehow romance both Mal and Becca πŸ₯Ί 😭
