Monthly Bonus Content #1—'Embrace, Coffee, Wind' (Morgan's Autumn Scenario Special)
🕑 Added 2024-10-02 13:01:02 +0000 UTC
The wind whips a chill grasp about me, but I stubbornly push against it, the scent of bitter, rich coffee swirling out from the stall where Haley is serving her famous apple-infused lattes with raisin muffins.
As the line of people shuffles forward a few more inches, a figure joins me in the queue.
“It’s fucking freezing,” Morgan announces through chattering teeth, as though I’m not aware of the brisk autumn air that makes my nose and my cheeks sting with the cold.
I glance over her with a brow raised. “Maybe wearing more than a t-shirt and leather jacket would help you stay a bit warmer?”
“I didn’t exactly plan to be out here long, but I’ve been searching all over town for you,” she replies, shoving her hand into my jacket pocket and twining her ice-cold fingers into my warm ones.
I shiver at the sudden cold as the line moves another few paces forward. “Do you want me to buy you a coffee? It’ll help warm you up.”
Her nose wrinkles. “No.”
“Are you sure?” I can’t help teasing as I lean into her a little. “Your highly sensitive taste buds don’t enjoy the thought of something so fragrant and deep with a twist of fruit?”
Her grimace gives way to pensive thought. “You actually make it sound tempting.” Her lips curve upwards. “Though you can make anything sound tempting.”
I chuckle, grasping her hand a little firmer in my pocket to help warm it quicker. “So, is that a yes?”
“I’ll have a sip of yours,” she states.
I almost balk, blinking at her as I rock back on my heels. “Wait, are you serious? Are you actually embracing the spirit of the season and indulging in some autumnal goodies?”
She shrugs. “I want to share experiences.”
My teasing drops immediately. “…You what?”
She shifts on the spot, her fingers twitching in my pocket as though about to pull away before they relax, and she glares ahead. “You make the mundane shit seem…you know.”
“I mean, no, not really.”
She growls out a groan so loud it makes the people in front of us look around with concern.
She stares them down until they turn back around and then mumbles, “You make things better. Normal things I’ve done for centuries are new now.”
I remain silent, my breath catching in my throat.
…I’m not even sure how to respond to that.
So, instead, I let the smile that wants to warm every inch of me show on my lips as I step forward in the line as it moves.
Morgan side-eyes me before frowning. “Don’t look so damn smug about it.”
“I can’t help it,” I admit, throwing her a grin.
She sucks in a breath, pulls her hand from my pocket and wraps her arm around me instead to draw us close.
When we finally reach the front of the queue, Haley glances between us before smiling.
“Two apple lattes and muffins?” she asks, her wisps of hair curling out from beneath the wide brim of a patterned wool hat.
“No,” I reply with a shake of my head, curling my arm around Morgan in return. “We’ll be sharing.”

Jmike
I'm here for it!
Avery Wyatt-Luth
Absolutely!
Seraphinite Games
I think the normality and just everyday moments are way more impactful for M’s romance than any of the others! I LOVE writing these moments for M and the MC! :D
Seraphinite Games
Surprises are always the best, hehe! Well, not according to M, but to me, lol! ;D
Seraphinite Games
Oh yeah, a load of my M-mancers wouldn’t be getting ready of that triumphant smile for weeks, hehe! :D (I know, right?! I’ve had to make sure and train myself out of writing it on instinct in the main series, lol!)
Seraphinite Games
M sharing anything, let alone experiences, is definitely not something M thought would be happening ever in their lifetime…which is eternity, hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
I don’t think M even noticed it was happening, which is the interesting part, hehe! :D
Seraphinite Games
M is definitely showing the soft side waaaay more these days, hehe! ;D
Seraphinite Games
I’m so glad you liked it! I couldn’t help but go for the downplayed scene between these two- I think that makes more impact than the dramatic for them! :D
Seraphinite Games
It was probably a bit overpowering for them, though they likely enjoyed the apple taste it had to it the most!
Seraphinite Games
A lot of my M-mancers couldn’t help being smug about it too, hehe! So glad you enjoyed it! I LOVED writing this one! Was perfect cosiness for this season :D
Seraphinite Games
Warms M’s soul too! :D
Nathaniel Mayfield
Normal couple? I love it.
Jason Bond
Agreed. That was my impression too.
Eve
Uh I think this is my favorite Morgan scenario ever. 😭🖤 This is normal couple shit! I am obsessed
Jason Bond
Honestly, I did not expect this scenario for Morgan but it is surprisingly cute!
Rachel Stone
I bet they got through a few sips before just using it as a hand warmer lol
Rachel Stone
Morgan's gonna have to just get use to the shit eating grin my mc will now be permanently wearing lol (it's so hard not to call them the detective anymore 😭)

M snuggling into my detective’s body & coat for warmth will now forever be etched in my brain ♥️. Also the “we’ll share” line sent me reeling ✨
Ant Lrt
Morgan in B1 thinking she's safe behind all her walls and not expecting the detective to come in blasting them walls, Hard.
Jmike
Omg....its happening.... I'm so happy!
Avery Wyatt-Luth
Omg that was perfect ;w;
Mar
Oh we love soft M! And soft Morgan 🥹 I wonder how they liked the latte! I never thought they’d be one to try something as strong as coffee, this is very sweet!
Emerson
Ahhhhh oh my goodness, this was so tender. I feel that apple latte in my heart after reading Morgan's sweetness. My M-mancer I'm would absoLUTELY be so smug about Morgan's warmth towards her. Thank you for this, Mishka. It was utterly delightful!!
Roque
I love these moments with morgan. Warms my soul
