oooh! Maybe “5. describe their cosy night in” with mystique and sabretooth (i hope i spelled that right, i can never remember if it’s saber or sabre) from the selfship/otp asks! :3side note, I’ve decided that my writing project for today is fleshing out my own selfship by answering every question, and I’m having fun so far!
Oh that sounds like so much fun! What a great project 😀 I’m excited to see it when you’re done!
You did indeed spell ‘sabretooth’ correctly– its spelled like the sword. 😉

A night in for Sabretooth and Mystique– that’s something they’re both familiar with, and something that’s a lot safer for bystanders than a night on the town! 🤣
They order dinner in. They tip the delivery person extra if they don’t freak out when the two of them answer the door.
They drink wine, even though it doesn’t really affect either of them, and they listen to old music, and sing along. They compete for who knows all the lyrics to the oldest song, and they slowdance in the living room.
They watch movies. Maybe Sabretooth tries to break out something by Dario Argento, or an old swords and sorcery film. Maybe Mystique tries to show him the new James Bond instead.
“Bond’s a weenie.” “No, you’ll like Daniel Craig. He reminds me of you.”
And they lay spooning on the couch, Sabretooth’s big frame taking up the bulk of it, and Mystique laying languidly in his arms.
And they laugh, and they make dark and offcolor jokes, and they reminisce about the way the spy business used to be. And what the movies get right, and what they get wrong.
And they finish the bottle of wine, and when the movie ends they kiss and they wrestle, and they take turns trying to pin one another down, and one thing leads to the other…
they love their nights in.
