After noticing Gallus isn't in class, Sandbar sets off to find why he's absent. What he finds along with his favorite griffon is much more interesting than what he could have ever expected.
And much, much more fluffy.
Based on a Tweet I couldn't resist making something out of.
Also an entry for the 2022 M/M Contest!
*Finishes the story*
*Realizes my own ears will never be large and fluffy*

Not with that attitude they won't! Learn from Gallus' example and take a dip in any mysteriously magical plants you find.
11445727
Oh boy! Maybe I should find that man who everyone tells me is selling magic plants!
This is beautifully written! And I quite enjoy the occasional, casual mentions of the Student Six poly ship. Very cute.
I love this.
11445757
I may be Gallbar pilled, but even I can admit that the six belong together. Six creatures that love each other, but especially the cinnamon roll pone that they all want to smooch.
Ah yes. Griffons with big floofy ears~!
11445778
Only the floofiest for the griffos! All other creatures will be made jealous!

If my personal dream/(years-long-@-min) plan goes through, you’d also be able to have a surgery to give yourself such a pair of fluffers.
11445729
That… miiiight not be the smartest/best of plans. The only ‘magic plants’ that humanity is aware of (at least as fas as I’m aware), would be the various plants we’ve discovered that have hallucinogenic effects when ingested.
11445778
Agreed.
11445794
Second verse same as the first!

I, myself, used to just go for the three Student 6 ships of Yona X Sandbar, Silverstream X Gallus and Smoulder X Ocellus, but I have looooooong since been converted to the 6-fold-polyship that encompasses all of them.
This was adorable. I’m always a sucker for Gallus and Sandbar shipping, so it’s nice to see another story with it.
Does AJ Aficionado know about this story?
11445794
I wish my ears were floofy...
Why does every comment have a thumbs down?
Poly ship student six is an interesting take. I've seen some poly Mane Six (A favorite of mine) but I think this is the first time I've encountered this idea. Fun. ^_^.
Nice and cute fluff fic. Thanks for sharing. ;)
11445851
He does now. I love it! Upvoted and favorited. Very adorable bit of shipping and a welcome dose of big, fluffy ears.
11445901
Site drama, maybe? I've been out of the loop but they've been a thing around here in the past.
11445909
Hm that's the first I've heard of it
11445910
I'm glad you've managed to avoid them.
Why does this sound so accurate for Gallus? Or really any of the Young 6 for that matter?
Also, Gallus and Smolder having a romantic romp in what ultimately proved to be poison joke is very them. Of course, I'm rather partial to that whole sequence since I'm very pro-Smollus myself, but that is one noteworthy upside to these Young 6 poly-ships--I'm always guaranteed at least some Smollus during them.
Even without that though, this was still pretty cute.
11445902
Really? I've found the Young 6 poly-ship has been pretty common lately.

Okay, I won't go into that back-ally then. I'll just wait to have experimental surgery in a few years.
Also congrats on hitting the feature box!

It's just normal for M/M fics at this point. I think it also has something to do with the incentive for this contest as well. Every dislike on comments is another dollar for charity!
11446046
Oh
Joke!
11446270
Actually, I think that was intentional, as a sort of wordplay on real-life poison oak. Add a "J" onto that "oak" and it'd sound like "joke," phonetically.
Of course, the show was going for wordplay as well, but it either wasn't clever enough to take it as far as "Joak," or it opted for just "Joke" for clarity's sake, thinking the intended wordplay would be more obvious that way...but beside the point.
GALLUS'S
BIG
FLOOFERS
PHYLLIS III!!!!!!!!!!
this fic is so cute and i love your sandbar and good job hell yeah
Love it, love it, love it! So many callbacks to little moments in lore, from Phyllis to the ultimate culprit. Fun, cute, playful story with great banter between my favorite dudes. Really, just a great story. 💙💚
11446319
Exactly this. I actually had no idea the show apparently spells it as 'Joke'. It always came off as Poison Joak to me ever since I first heard it.
11446343
GALLUS HUGE FLOOMFERS
11446398
Thank you! It's just really easy to make these boys do cute things. It's practically all they're made for.
Oh yeah, big floofy ears are irresistible no matter what!

Great cute story there, thanks for sharing!
11446470
How dare you spear me with the Nostalgia Arrow that is an Inuyasha gif?
I forgot how cute his ears were.

Oh. I've been in this fandom for at least ten years and this is the first time I heard about this. Rather mind-blowing and embarrassing.
Is... Is this wingfic, only with ears (since Gallus already has wings)?
"Don't look at my
wingsears, they're hideous!""They... they're beautiful!"
No matter if you're intentionally invoking some old fanfic weirdness or not, this is hella cute!
11447735
...I may have unintentionally invoked old fanfic clichés.
My brain works in mysterious ways.
Big. Floofy. Ears!
11445940
Excellent taste. I'm a fan of Smollus as well. Though if Smolder is okay sharing Gallus with Sandbar then I am too.
11450871
They'll all share their love around, as was taught by the OG Polycule: Twilight and Her Five Cool Lovers.
They all have their main interests, of course, but each one has kissed the other more than once.
And the cuddle piles are immaculate and will break out anywhere.
rude!
yeah not the best excuse to use in a nudist civilization lol
aww so true
huh, i don’t think i’ve seen that particular ship before!
aww, Phyllis is in this!
gottem
ehehe just love this contrast
augh this is such an annoying nickname i absolutely love it
i also wish this for him
will have to steal this spelling
augh adorable
so true
ehehe
and augh so true
delightfully fluffy stuff, just solid writing all around. thank you for it!
As they said in ancient times: totes adorbs.
Great job displaying warmth and understanding in a relationship like this. You nailed what you were going for.
Uh- yeah.. about that...
Anyway, I LOVED it lol
Cute
Oh man this is so cute
I must know..
Does Gallus's floofers fluff up is someone boops his beak? owo
So much fluff. ❤️
