This post is for prompts that focus on crossovers between various slavery AUs, with the crossover wizards.

Please put the use name of your slave Matt in the subject line of your comment eg. "Feral: Fuck or 'die' AGAIN!"

I'll move a couple of prompts over to start us off, but feel free to ignore them and put your own.

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Because he'd outgrown it, or because it's not in good enough condition?" Toffee asked carefully as he laid the cardigan down. "I asked Ivannya, and I'm going to do Hendrick's sweater before her top."

"Because it got all these holes and tears," Jamie said, interested by his plan. "He wore it through. Are you going to replace it? Can you really?"

"Not the exact same cardigan, but..." He pulled up the collection he had in mind. "Either the Lush cardigan, or the Windswept pullover adapter to a cardigan." And he clicked through to each pattern as he spoke. "I quite like the Bonny for myself as well."

"Bonny's very cute, very delicate," Jamie admired it warmly. "I think either would be beautiful for Hendrick--he's so used to having his pet self be kind of ignored, and those designs are gorgeous without being obnoxiously fussy," he nodded in satisfaction. "I like the roses better, but either would delight him."

"Lush it is then. That will be a bit easier than adapting Windswept to a cardigan. Can you help me get the ebook then? And I need to decide on a yarn."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

"I definitely can help with both of those things, I'll need your tablet for a minute but I can do that," Jamie said confidently, holding his hands up for it. "And the yarn..hmm. I think--I'm no expert, but there are yarns that are stronger than others, aren't there? Will last longer and take a long time for any holes to show up?"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

He passed the tablet over as he considered the other question.

"Yes, there's the workhorse yarns, with a tight twist and a lot of plies, and then there's the luxury end with mohair or silk blended in. Yarns with mohair blended in are heavy for how thick they are though." And there was the budget to consider as well.

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

"Are there any tightly plied, strong yarns that are also really soft or smooth?" Jamie asked sincerely. "I think soft would be good, but Hendrick's nowhere near as fussy as Ivannya, and being able to wear it a lot of places would be nice for him. I think he would melt in happiness if you made any sweater, though, really."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"There are, part of it's dependent on the budget as well of course. But...Cascade does good workhorse yarns, and they're widely available, do they have a silk blend yarn in the right weight? Oooh, Roslyn looks nice." He showed the yarn to Jamie while he began taking the measurements he needed.

Jamie peered at the screen, smiling at the texture. "I think the tweediness will make it really comfortable for him, I think he'll really like this," Jamie said. He hesitated, "It won't interfere with that beautiful floral lace?"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"I wouldn't think so, see there's some versions of it knitted in variegated yarn, and it doesn't interfere with the lace." He smiled at Jamie. "We can go to my yarn shop as well tomorrow and get the yarn then maybe...it's not expensive at all, not for the sort of yarn it is."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

Jamie nodded thoughtfully at the examples Toffee showed him, and hummed in agreement. "I think that's a good plan--we can get the supplies and put them in here with the other sweater piles, Hendrick won't investigate here. And I haven't done much comparison, but it certainly looks within budget for a fancy, long-wearing sweater. I think he'll really appreciate it," Jamie mused. "Hendrick feels really guilty, this will help reaffirm him. He really didn't mean to hurt you, you know."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"I know. Didn't understand how overwhelming all the classes would be, and I should have tried to say something earlier. Could have handled pet protocol along with Instructor Marnie, just not the classes that were meant to be fun." He leaned against Jamie a bit. "Want to reaffirm him, didn't mean to hurt him before."

Jamie hugged him gently with one arm, and then used the other to wrap around his waist and pat his belly with a little affectionate emphasis. "I know, Toffee. It'll get better with time, hurts and misunderstandings always do. And you'll get better at expressing yourself too." He noted the language getting softer, less perfectly grammatical, and wondered to himself if it was a side-effect of not talking at all for a long time (as he feared Toffee hadn't much when he was stolen) or if it was just a habit he'd picked up from Treacle. Either way, it wasn't upsetting much, just a little different than he was used to.

"I know." He wrapped an arm around Jamie's waist, hugging him back. "I'll do his sweater only in here, when he's not around, and yours and then mine when he might see me working on them." And he needed to take the measurements now, and figure out what size to do.

"I'll need four balls, but that should give me plenty to swatch with."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"That'll be perfect, Hendrick never intrudes, and the only person who'd clean in here if you couldn't is me," Jamie said warmly, and detached from Toffee, letting him start measuring the sweater and fetching the pad of paper on the desk and writing down numbers. "Do you really only need four balls? Not five for contingency? I'm not worried about leftover yarn, I'm positive you'll put it to use eventually." And yarn didn't exactly expire or attract pests--not with the cedar panels put in the room to effectively repel all possible insects.

"Only the biggest size would need five balls, and then only just...although I guess I could get the extra ball and knit myself a loch hat and pair of mittens with what's left." If he didn't need to use up too much yarn swatching and figuring out the lace pattern.

"I just figure it's better than running out of materials mid-project, or right before it's done--that's always unpleasant. Like the time I had to run out at three in the morning for matcha to finish off the surprise cake for Master Erik's surprise cake." Jamie shook his head ruefully at the memory.

"Ah, yes that's especially difficult with yarn, because you can't always get the same dyelot, so it might not match - especially with the smaller companies. It's not really something to worry about with cascade yarns though."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

"You're the expert," Jamie acknowledged. He smiled at Toffee making notes, and then pulling out his current project--was that Jamie's vest? "It's nice to see your expertise in motion," he said warmly.

"I'm glad, I don't want to bore you." He told Jamie as he began working on the vest.

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

Jamie snorted. "Toffee, it is downright impossible to ever bore me. If you start talking about things I'd never heard of before, I'd just try to figure it out, ask questions. If you sit in silence, I'll start a conversation if I want one. The others are much easier to note--that's why I'm the housepet, I suppose. Me and you both." He felt suddenly curious. "Do you always want to be a housepet?"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Yes, I think so." He agreed softly with a smile. "I was being trained with that in mind before."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

Jamie smiled warmly, sweetly at him. "I was picked early for it--a good temperament. And I think you've got a good one, too. Much better at actually completing work, and keeping things running smoothly. It's nice to think that soon we can combine our skills and make things even better in the home. You know how hard the others work--it's the best to make sure they can be safe and warm here. Don't you agree?"

"Oh, yes. It's better if they don't have to worry about whether or not there's going to be food on the table and can come home to a good meal. I heard that it's hard for Matt Murdock sometimes, because he works near enough the same hours as his master."
