“This is…” Kim Taehyung started as he looked at the toddler that was bravely meeting his emotionless eyes.

“Problematic?” Jungkook supplied when he noticed that his hyung was grappling for word to describe the child that was now bouncing on Jimin’s lap.

Jimin gasped and covered the said child’s ears. He shook his head at him with a pout. “Don’t listen to your ugly uncles. You’re so precious! Look at your little hands and feet! So cute!”

Taehyung scoffed before returning his bored eyes on his phone. “I was gonna say interesting, but sure, that works, too.”

Kim Namjoon, who all called for an emergency meeting without Yoongi, massaged his temples. He couldn’t fathom how nonchalant the maknae line was about all of this. For fuck’s sake, they were all under the impression that Jung Hoseok perished in that fire! They had mourned him, gone through all the grief, the questions, the pain of losing someone they thought was gone forever. Yet here he was, standing in front of them like nothing had ever happened, as if that fire hadn’t nearly killed him — or worse, hadn't been part of a plot to end one of their own.

Yet when they walked in the room, they greeted Hoseok like he was merely away for a trip, completely unbothered by the fact that he had once tried to kill one of their own. Well, all except Jungkook, who had hopped over to Hoseok like a happy bunny and pulled him into a quick hug before declaring he was hungry.

Hoseok was whistling when he returned to the room, holding a bottle of milk that he had heated for Yoongi’s son. He looked so annoyingly calm, so normal, that even the calm façade that Namjoon was putting could not hold up any longer.

Thankfully, he didn’t have to. Because just as he was about to open his mouth, the door swung open with a soft creak.

The atmosphere shifted in an instant.

The moment Kim Seokjin stepped into the room, the air seemed to freeze. Silence descended like a heavy fog, and the once lively chatter of the maknae line came to a sudden halt. Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin, who had been acting so carefree, now sat up straighter, their faces momentarily void of expression. Even Hoseok, who had been so at ease moments before, paused, his eyes flicking toward the door.

Kim Seokjin entered with his trademark aura of danger. He didn’t say a word, but his mere presence was enough to command attention. Dressed in head-to-toe black, his face was as unreadable as a stone mask, as if his emotions had been sealed behind it for years. The sharp angles of his jawline, the coldness in his eyes, and the sheer stillness with which he moved only added to the mafia prince vibe that seemed to pour off him in waves.

Namjoon’s breath caught in his chest. The maknae line might have been able to brush off Hoseok’s return with a shrug, but Seokjin was a different story. Namjoon did have a suspicion that Seokjin knew something he had been hiding. The tension in the room doubled. There was a weight to the silence now, a suffocating thickness that no one dared break. It certainly did not help that he was carrying a gun in his right hand.

Hoseok, ever the calm one, moved slowly in front of the child, shielding him with his body. The toddler, blissfully unaware of the danger surrounding him, stared up at Seokjin with wide, innocent eyes. Jimin instinctively tightened his hold on the baby, though he, too, could feel the shift in the air. His expression faltered, a flicker of fear crossing his face for the briefest of moments before he masked it with forced calm.

"Hyung," Hoseok said, his voice steady, but there was a steel edge to it that betrayed his focus. His eyes never left Seokjin as he continued to shield the child.

Steadily, Seokjin pointed the gun at him and without any preamble, he pulled the trigger.

Jimin jerked back instinctively, his arms tightening around the child as if to protect him from the impact that never came. Taehyung and Jungkook both lunged forward, their eyes wide in a shared moment of panic. Taehyung’s hand shot out to shove Jimin further away, while Jungkook’s hand reached for the gun, but stopped just short. They couldn’t process it. The shot had been so fast, so sudden.

And then it hit them — Hoseok was still standing.

There was a pause, a beat too long, before the confusion started to lift. Hoseok, still calm, didn’t move. He wasn’t even wounded.

Seokjin chuckled darkly, his voice low and amused. “It’s not your day to die, I guess.”

He lifted his right hand and displayed the bullet, holding it between his fingers like a trophy. It was still intact, unspent. Namjoon’s blood ran cold as he realized what had just happened

Russian roulette.

The gun had been loaded with one live round, but it had chosen to be a dud this time.

“Lucky,” he murmured as he tucked the gun back into his waistband with a casual motion, as if the threat had been nothing more than a fleeting thought. "We’ll see how long your luck holds," he said, his voice cold and final.

The air was thick, saturated with the remnants of tension, but then — as if nothing had happened at all — Seokjin straightened, his face suddenly shifting back into something more neutral, almost... cheerful.

“Anyway,” Seokjin said, clapping his hands together with an exaggerated cheer, the shift in his demeanor as abrupt as the tension had been moments before. “I brought dinner!”

Jungkook, who had been frozen for a heartbeat too long, blinked, his face lighting up as if he hadn’t just witnessed the life-and-death moment play out before him. “Yey!” he exclaimed, bouncing on his heels. “Food! Finally!”

The tension from earlier still lingered in the room, but for the moment, it was buried beneath the surface. They were all gathered around the table now, the same group of men who had just been at the brink of chaos, but now, a strange kind of calm had settled over them. Even Seokjin, who had moments ago held their lives in his hands with the coldness of a seasoned killer, seemed... human. The mafia prince had brought a highchair for Yoongi’s son, placing it carefully beside him at the table. Along with the chair, he had brought a selection of colorful toys, almost as if to soften the edge of his own dangerous persona. Of course, in only a way that Seokjin knew how, he also brought with him several luxurious clothes for the baby. It was hard to believe this was the same man who had so casually played Russian roulette with Hoseok’s life just minutes before.

“How was the vigilante life, Hoseok?” he asked, his tone light but laced with something deeper — curiosity, maybe, or amusement.

Hoseok chuckled, a sound that seemed at odds with the darkness of his past. His eyes twinkled slightly, though there was a touch of sadness buried in them, a residue from everything he had been through. “It was… interesting, hyung,” he answered, taking a slow breath before continuing. He didn’t shy away from the complexity of the question. It was difficult, of course. He did not have the usual advantages seeing as he had to leave his belongings behind. After all, how could he bring something with him when he was truly ready to die that night? However, he did gain something meaningful. He glanced at the baby, who was now happily gnawing on a colorful plastic ring, oblivious to the world around him. Hoseok’s lips curled into a soft smile as his eyes lingered on the child.

Seokjin’s gaze softened, his expression almost imperceptibly shifting as he followed Hoseok’s line of sight. For a brief moment, there was no air of threat about him, no hard edge to his demeanor. Just a quiet understanding. The silence stretched for a beat before Seokjin nodded slightly, as if acknowledging something unspoken.

It was clear enough — since Yoongi’s son had come into Hoseok’s life, the darkness that had once swirled so heavily in his eyes since the only woman he loved died had lessened, the demons no longer clawing at him with the same intensity. It wasn’t a perfect peace, but it was something. And for Hoseok, it was enough.

Seokjin leaned back in his chair, his posture casual, but the sharpness in his eyes betrayed his focus. He was quiet for a moment, swirling the drink in his hand as he observed Hoseok. There was a reason why the man, who had been living in the shadows for so long, was suddenly back in their midst — Seokjin wasn’t one to miss the details. He exhaled slowly, his voice carrying a certain nonchalance as he spoke, but there was an underlying edge to it.

“There’s a reason why you’re suddenly back,” Seokjin remarked, eyeing Hoseok with calculated calm. “I mean, you definitely could have stayed under the radar. You did so successfully. So, what is it?”

Hoseok’s expression shifted instantly, the casual demeanor he had earlier slipping away as he turned serious. His lips thinned, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke, his voice steady but filled with urgency. “I need your help. Someone’s been following us, and I know it’s not Yoongi’s men. He doesn’t even know I’m alive. Just last night, someone broke into my safehouse with a gun.” He paused, eyes meeting Seokjin’s as if weighing the gravity of his words. “We all know he wasn’t there for a meet and greet.”

Seokjin looked thoughtful for a moment, the gears in his brain turning as he turned to Namjoon. “One of our enemies.”

Namjoon nodded in affirmation, his jaw clenched, the weight of the situation clear in his stance. His voice was low, serious. “One that is powerful enough to know you’re still alive and who has the resources to trace your location.”

The air in the room thickened, the tension rising once more as the implications set in. Seokjin’s expression didn’t shift, but there was an intensity to his gaze now, a quiet readiness that signaled he was fully engaged in the conversation.

But Hoseok wasn’t done yet.

“It wasn’t only me that person is after,” Hoseok continued, his voice hardening further. “It seems like he was also after Yoongi’s son.”

Seokjin’s face darkened, his eyes flicking momentarily to the baby before returning to Hoseok. His voice was low, measured. “Whoever this is, they’re not playing games.” He shifted in his chair, fingers drumming lightly on the armrest, his mind already calculating their next steps.

“That’s why I’m here.” Hoseok’s gaze was intense, his seriousness unwavering. “I need to know who’s after us and what they want. I can’t risk it anymore. Not when they’re going after him.” He nodded toward the child, his eyes softening just for a moment before hardening again

Jungkook, who had been quiet until now, leaned forward, his eyes flashing with a steely determination. “Give me details, hyung. I’ll look into it.” His voice was sharper than usual, the intensity behind it undeniable. “You know I won’t let anyone hurt our family.”

There was a quiet confidence in his words. Jungkook was the tech genius, the one who could track down anything, anyone, with the right tools. He didn’t need much more than a name and a hint of a trail to start pulling at the strands that would eventually unravel their enemy.

Hoseok gave a sharp nod, appreciative but still focused. “I’ll send you everything I have — anything that can help. But I need to move fast. This is bigger than me, and I won’t let it touch Yoongi’s son.”

It was late when the men called it a night, their plans were solidifying. This was not the first time someone was stupid enough to make an enemy out of the Bangtan, but it sure was the first time that they involved a child.

What a fucking mistake.

Hoseok stood from his chair, moving toward the door where Seokjin was about to step out. His expression was somber, but there was something in his eyes — a weight that had been there for a while but was more apparent now than ever before.

“Hyung,” he called, his voice quieter than usual. Seokjin paused in the doorway, glancing back at him.

Hoseok’s eyes softened, his lips curling into a faint smile. “Thank you.”

Seokjin, still leaning against the doorframe, gave a small chuckle, his posture relaxed as he regarded his younger brother. "For not killing you?" he teased, an easy smirk tugging at his lips.

Hoseok laughed lightly, though there was no real humor in it. It was the kind of laugh that came when one was trying to find some levity in a dark situation. “That, and for helping us.”

Seokjin’s smirk faded into something more sincere, and he stepped back into the room, closing the door behind him. His voice was soft but firm, carrying the weight of unspoken loyalty. “We’re family. That’s what we do. What we don’t do is betray each other.”

He placed a hand on Hoseok’s shoulder, the gesture light, but the meaning behind it heavy. “Don’t worry. No one will dare hurt either of you in this safe house. You’re safe here. Well…until Yoongi learns that he has a son. Even I cannot guarantee your safety, then,” he teased before smiling at Namjoon who had been oddly quiet now. “Joonie will tell Yoongi, won’t you?”

Namjoon looked at Hoseok before slowly meeting his hyung’s eyes. He knew. It was foolish to think otherwise.

Of course, he knew. He had an inkling that he knew for a while. Namjoon was not sure when Seokjin figured it all out. But he was aware of Namjoon’s involvement in hiding Hoseok and Yoongi’s angel, except that he didn’t know she was pregnant that time. Nothing could move past his hyung’s attention. It was idiotic of him to assume that he or anyone of them for that matter could move without Seokjin knowing. The man had eyes everywhere, ears in every corner of the city, and a mind that could anticipate everything.

He was not the mafia prince for nothing.

Seokjin’s eyes narrowed, and the playful smile he had been wearing faded. "That’s enough of your twisted justice, Namjoon," he said, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "Don’t you think Yoongi paid his dues?" His voice took on a sharper tone, more biting. "The two of you think Yoongi killed Hoseok’s girl, and you thought it was only right and just for Hoseok to also take away Yoongi’s angel. You’re both idiots."

 “Hyung…you knew? Why didn’t you tell Yoongi?”

Seokjin shrugged, “For the plot,” he replied casually, as if his reasoning were something trivial.

“Wha-“

"Tell him," Seokjin demanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. There was no softness in his voice anymore, only the raw, unwavering certainty of a leader who had seen too much to tolerate any more lies.

You didn’t know when you fell asleep, but for the first time since that fire, you slept without experiencing any crippling nightmare. You felt rested. It was like your body knew it was safe. For the first time, you woke up without feeling that heavy brick pressing down on your heart, restricting your very breath.

Yesterday’s confrontation had done you good– regardless of whether you accepted it or not.

You weren’t even fully awake yet when you felt an arm tightened around your waist. Yoongi’s face burrowed on your neck, inhaling your scent as he completely plastered his front on your back.

Warmth. You realized that what you were feeling was warmth. His scent was all too familiar. It was like coming home to a place you never thought you could ever return to. Slowly, ever so slowly, you touched his large hand that was resting on your stomach. It was the first time you ever willingly touched him since he returned in your life. He did bare himself to you last night, and you were only too cowardly to do this when he was awake. You noticed new callouses and scars on his hand. The callouses were rougher than you remembered, and there were scars now, marks of pain he’d suffered, perhaps even inflicted, in the time he’d been away. He got hurt, something deep enough that it left marks. Gently, you brushed your thumb across them, your breath catching in your throat.

“What happened, Suga?” you whispered softly, careful not to wake the slumbering man up. You wondered if he still suffered from insomnia like he did before, when every hour of the night seemed to stretch endlessly, leaving him lost in a cycle of waking nightmares of his own.

“I made the men that had anything to do with your accident bleed, angel,” he whispered hoarsely. He was awake. “I made sure to triple the pain they gave you.”

You froze, your thumb pausing in its movement across his hand. The weight of his words settled over you, but it wasn’t anger you felt. It was something else. Something softer. A strange sort of relief. Your chest tightened, the guilt creeping in slowly like a poison, too slow to stop. You had hurt him. You had taken so much from him over the years. The lies you had believed, the things you had said.

“You got hurt… because of me,” you muttered, the words barely leaving your lips. You couldn’t even face him, couldn’t bring yourself to look at him because it hit you all at once—the gravity of what you had done. You had taken from him. You had taken his trust, his peace, his family. For heaven’s sake, you had taken his son away from him. His chance at a future that was never meant to be stolen.

You felt his lips press gently against your shoulder, soft as a prayer. His voice was quiet, but there was a tenderness to it that you could feel seeping into your skin, warming you from the inside out.

“I don’t mind bleeding for you, my angel,” Yoongi murmured, his words settling into the deepest part of your heart. They held no bitterness, no resentment, just raw devotion.

You couldn’t help but think about what transpired with the years that set you apart. Your mind went to the horrible things that happened for him to end up so wounded and so calloused. He had been alone for all those years. Maybe there was some truth to what he was saying. Maybe… he suffered just as much as you did. Your lips tremble and before you knew it, he was facing you, taking your tears in, taking the way you weren’t leaning away from his touch.

“Shh,” he consoled as he wiped away your tears. He would willingly leave the past behind because you were here now, and you were never going to leave him again. His arm was supporting his weight as he gazed down at the only person he would ever love in this life and after. “It’s all in the past now, angel. We will do better, okay?”

You nodded, feeling the weight lift from your chest just a little. He was right. The past couldn’t be changed, but you had the chance to do things differently now. To make it right.

Without another word, Yoongi leaned down and placed a soft kiss on your forehead. His lips lingered, and you could feel the heat of them seeping into your skin, a promise of the future you could still build together. He kissed the tip of your nose, then trailed down your cheek, slowly, deliberately. Every kiss was an unspoken declaration of love, of regret, of forgiveness. “I love you.”

His lips found yours then, soft but insistent, as though he was telling you everything he had never said. His hand moved to the back of your neck, holding you close as he deepened the kiss. And when he pulled back just enough to whisper against your skin, his voice was gentle, but his words were firm.

“Say you love me,” Yoongi ordered, his breath warm on your neck, his lips brushing against your skin. His arms were around you, pulling you in, as though there was no place in the world for you to be but with him.

The command, simple and sweet, sent a wave of warmth through you. But for a moment, you hesitated, unsure of how to put all the emotions into one sentence. You wanted to say it—needed to—but your heart was still catching up with the flood of everything you’d just realized.

Yoongi, ever patient, waited. But when you took just a little too long, a mischievous spark lit in his eyes, and he bit down on your neck, just lightly enough to make you gasp, the sensation sending a shiver through you. “I love you, Min Yoongi. I never stopped,” you confessed.

Yoongi’s face softened, his expression brighter than you’d ever seen it before. It was as though all the pain and suffering he had endured in this life meant nothing anymore. The world had been cruel to him, but in this moment, with you in his arms, everything was finally okay. He would gladly go through all those hells if it meant being with you like this.

And maybe, this was the right time to come clean and admit that the two of you had a son.

“Yoongi, I…I have to tell you something.”

“What is it, angel?”

“We have a –”

But before you could even begin to confess, something shifted. There was a sudden sound—an all-too-familiar voice coming from the other side of the apartment.

“Hyung! Where are you?” Jeon Jungkook’s sing-song voice echoed through the penthouse, breaking the intimate silence between you and Yoongi.

Yoongi’s face twisted in irritation. He groaned in frustration, his shoulders tensing as though he were ready to throw something at the door. “For fuck’s sake,” he muttered under his breath. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for months.”

But then the sound of Jimin’s voice followed, much too cheerful for Yoongi’s liking. “We brought you and noona food!”

“And we brought you someone you’d like to see!” Taehyung added, his voice laced with playful mischief.

“I highly doubt that,” Yoongi grumbled, resting his face against your neck in an exaggerated pout. You couldn’t help but chuckle at his stubbornness, at how he still refused to let go of the moment you were sharing. But then, with a light laugh, you kissed his temple, trying to calm his growing frustration.

“Come out, hyung!” Namjoon’s voice joined in.

“I also have my ever-trusty medical bag just in case!” Kim Seokjin added.

“What do you mean just in case?” Yoongi muttered, but you could feel him finally relenting. His arms loosened around you, but he didn’t let go completely. He still kept you close, as if the outside world couldn’t reach you while he held you there.

With a sigh, Yoongi finally pulled away, but his eyes never left yours. “I swear, if they ruin this moment…” His words trailed off as the two of you walked out of the bedroom with him guiding you ever so gently.

As you stepped into the living room, although you couldn’t see much, you could feel the wide, shit-eating grins from the guys. They were all looking at you both, clearly enjoying the playful tension in the air. Yoongi, however, didn’t seem to be paying them any mind at all. He kept you tucked into his side, his arm around your waist as he guided you toward the group.

And then, his eyes caught something, or rather, someone—someone he hadn’t expected to see.

There, in the corner, stood Jung Hoseok, holding a baby strapped to his chest. The baby was giggling, reaching out with tiny arms toward you, and your heart skipped a beat when you heard his giggles. You knew you ran out of time.

“Long time no see, hyung,” Jung Hoseok greeted him.

Yoongi froze for a second, his eyes narrowing in disbelief. And then they turned murderous as he pushed you behind him, standing in front of you as though protecting you from the person who took you away from Yoongi. The veins in his arms protruded as calmly walked to the table and pulled the gun strapped under the table.

You wanted nothing more than to run to your baby, to cradle him in your arms. It had been too long since he was separated from you. You longed to bury your face in his soft hair, to inhale the sweet scent of his innocence but you knew how one wrong move could escalate this situation. You were in the presence of the most dangerous men in the country. You had to thread this situation carefully.

Seokjin, who had been lounging comfortably on the couch as if the world around him wasn’t about to implode, didn’t seem phased at all by the tension crackling in the air. He was flipping through the movie options with an air of complete nonchalance, one leg lazily draped over the other. But then, he glanced up at Yoongi, a knowing look passing between them. His voice was completely unbothered when he spoke, as though this whole situation were nothing more than an ordinary day.

“Before you kill him, you should know that that’s your baby,” Seokjin said, the words rolling off his tongue like he was discussing the weather. “And you see that Gucci onesies? I bought it.”

Yoongi’s heart skipped a beat. He froze, his eyes narrowing as his mind scrambled to process the words. “What do you mean, my baby?” His voice was hoarse, a dangerous edge to it as if his brain hadn’t quite caught up with the weight of the revelation.

And just as the words left his mouth, a soft giggle echoed through the room, like a sweet, innocent chime. The baby’s arms shot up toward you in a gesture so familiar, so natural, that it made Yoongi’s heart clench in his chest. The little voice called out to you, a word that sent a shockwave through his entire being.

“Eomma!”

The sound of it hit Yoongi like a thunderclap. His breath caught in his throat as everything seemed to fall into place all at once. His eyes widened, disbelief warring with something more primal.

He had a son.

You and he had a son.

You made all his dreams come true.

You gave him a family.

Family.

It was everything he had wanted, everything he had longed for, and it had been torn away from him. He’d wanted to build something real with you, but it had been ripped from him before he could even hold it. You and his son were ripped cruelly away from his grasp. Hoseok had stolen his latibule, his sanctuary, out of spite and revenge for things he didn’t even understand.

Yoongi clenched his jaw, the familiar ache of anger twisting in his chest. His eyes never left Hoseok, the man who had caused him so much pain, even though the rest of the room felt like it was spinning out of control. His gaze was sharp, calculating.

“Y-Yoongi, listen. I I- was about to tell you. Believe me. I j-just wasn’t sure what the truth was. But n-now, I know. You have to believe me,” you begged as you forced him to face you. “I..I’m sorry, Suga.”

A moment was too long, and you could only feel the rapid and hard beating of your heart. His rigid back remained on you until slowly, too slowly, he turned to Namjoon. “Namjoon,” Yoongi’s voice was quiet, but it carried the weight of a thousand unsaid things. He called out, his tone emotionless, as if he were giving an order rather than asking for clarification. “The license I asked of you?”

Namjoon, who had been watching the unfolding scene with a tired but resigned look, sighed deeply. He walked over to Yoongi, an envelope in his hand, the kind of folder that held paperwork that would change everything.

“Just needs your and her signatures,” Namjoon said quietly, his eyes flicking between Yoongi and you, sensing the turmoil in the room as he placed the envelope on the table.

Yoongi didn’t hesitate. He opened the folder and saw the papers inside. His eyes skimmed through the papers.  His signature was swift, precise, the ink dark and final on the page. His movements were calculated, his expression stoic, but his eyes—his eyes were locked onto yours with an intensity that left no room for ambiguity.

“You want my forgiveness?" Yoongi's voice was low, cutting through the air with a sharpness that made your chest tighten. His gaze never wavered from you, and the weight of his words felt like a weight pressing on your ribs. "Sign this.”

You felt your breath catch in your throat, your hands trembling as the truth of what he was asking sank in. "W-what’s that?" you stammered, your voice betraying the fear you felt, the confusion swirling inside you.

“Marriage license, dear,” Namjoon answered, his voice as tired as his expression. He was no stranger to Yoongi’s intensity, but this? This felt different. The stakes felt higher than they had ever been. “If you sign this, we can start over again with our son. We will be complete. And the two of you will be completely, irrevocably mine. You can do that for me, right?”

Yoongi’s hand was already reaching for you, holding out a pen—just a simple pen—but to you, it felt like a lifeline and a leash all at once. His eyes were filled with something fierce, something that made your pulse race, but beneath that fierce exterior, you could see something else: vulnerability.

The hand that offered you the pen was steady, “Sign this, angel.”

Your heart was pounding. The room seemed to shrink, your mind racing with fear and uncertainty, but deep down, something else was stirring. Love. It was still there. It had never really left. Despite everything, you still felt it for him.

You took a shaky breath, your hands trembling as they reached for the pen. For a moment, you hesitated, your mind filled with doubts, but then you looked at Yoongi—really looked at him with what was left of your eyesight—and you knew this was the only way forward.

Despite that, with the weight of everyone’s eyes on you, waiting for your next move, you couldn’t help but falter. To Hoseok, though, that was enough. “You don’t have to do this, Y/N. You can still walk away-” Hoseok’s voice broke through.

Yoongi scoffed as he stepped near you as though the miniscule distance he afforded you was simply still too much. “I lived in hell for you, Angel,” Yoongi interrupted, his voice low but steady, his gaze never leaving yours. “I endured hell because of what he did. Don’t I deserve a happy ending now? After everything I’ve been through—wasn’t that enough for you? Do I have to suffer more?

Do we need to suffer more, my Angel?”

He was right, you surmised. You wanted this. You wanted him. You wanted your son to have the family you both had always dreamed of. Maybe, you really were selfish to have stolen what could have been with him. You knew how shaded his past was. You knew that the world owed him softness and happiness, that if he was sharp, it was only because he had to be in order to survive.

But when he was with you, those edges softened. With you, he could breathe easier. With you, he believed—for a moment—that he didn’t have to be on guard, didn’t have to protect himself from the world. You were his haven, and yet, there was a part of him that feared he couldn’t hold you forever. This was his way of knowing you couldn’t simply walk away from him, a legal binding document that declared it unlawful for you to love someone other than him.

“Please,” he begged for the first time in his life.

With a hand that trembled just slightly, you took the pen from Yoongi’s outstretched hand. Your fingers brushed his, and for the briefest moment, you felt the weight of everything settle in. Your hand moved without hesitation now as he guided your hand to where you would sign. The ink met the paper.

And with that, you made the choice that would change everything.

Latibule 2.VIII

[bananafire11]

NEW AU TIIIME ~

I think the theories of Jax are an interesting idea for an au... so here's my take! And @cherriisodapop 's cuz she is really helping me along with this

Some info ive scrambled up about him below cut !!

○ Jax is an NPC from a discontinued map dubbed "Chaos Land". He grew up there with his mom and dad, whom of which are a rubber bunny and plushy badger.

○ He's known he was an NPC since a young age. While exploring he found himself glitched beneath the map, finding the models of everyone he knows. Being a child however, he dismisses it, and grows up assuming it's normal. He hardly thought back on it anyway, much too busy with life above.

○ On an adventure where Kaufmo runs into Jax and they're glitched below the map, Kaufmo makes a comment about Jax's general disinterest in the models. Jax explains they don't matter, to which Kaufmo ends up explaining they do. This causes Jax to spiral, because now he knows the truth of the matter. He is not human, but Kaufmo and the others who came on the adventure are.

○ as an almost parallel of Pomni and Gummigoo's scene, Kaufmo suggests he come along to the circus with him. They make a plan to fake Jax's arrival as a human so Caine isn't aware that he is an NPC.

○ Kaufmo and Jax work together to fuck with coding and create a room for Jax at the very end of the hallway of dorms. It captures a very small segment of his home realm. Anyone human who nears it gets this overwhelming feeling of wrongness. He never lets anyone in.

○ he has some features left over from his home, one of which being the ability to pull small things out of thin air. Out of fear of suspicion, he pretends to pull these small objects from his overalls pocket. Another being how he does things in a very,, "wrong" way. Example being in the drawing how he's eating the banana (shame on him for that btw).... kaufmo teaches him ways to be more human, but old habits die hard.

○ he thrives on causing chaos in the circus, pranking and bullying others to get their reactions. He's curious, wanting to know how humans react to things that he finds funny or normal. Human nature and their reactions to just about anything intrigue his curiosity, though he's skilled at hiding this through snide comments and teasing.

○ after Kaufmo's abstraction, he finds himself frustrated. He believes he cannot truely experience what it is to mourn his only friend in the circus, and so he's more prone to unstable moods and outburts.

○ events are very much canon-compliant for both pilot and episode two! after that is still a WIP!

Thanks for reading >:]]

Anyway WX went to the Crowd hunt the Jin are trowing and YZY got very angry at like WWX being at her level socially, the spouse of a sect leader and then WX went home and LXC woke up and that's all i know because the fic had like 26/28/20 something chapters in total and it was a WIP and only one or two chpaters left till it was done.

19. Hi! I'm looking for a fic where the best way I can describe it is WWX has a magic sex toy that is keyed into his own body which LWJ then confiscates and later uses not knowing it's keyed to WWX.

20. Hi! Thank you for your hard work! I'm looking for 2 fics today, but I really want to find the first one. A) It's arranged marriage fic, LWJ is some sort of royalty. After the wedding (I think?) WWX is sent to live in a separate palace (?) He and the Wens (I can't remember why they're there) start a farm to make money (and have food?) to fix up the palace which I think was in some state of disrepair. Eventually he LWJ notices and starts to send gifts and such. I feel like there's something about a dragonfruit? But maybe that's a different fic?

B) The second one I'm looking for is a modern mob au, wwx asks lwj to watch a plant and then disappears for a year, or something like that. I'm sure I probably found it on here, but I must be overlooking it @iluvshikamaru

Hi! 20a is definitely sowing seeds in the cold palace! Thank you so much, it was driving me crazy!

[scuderiastri]

I’m not sure why this made me think of winners room au with Lewis, Charles and Oscar but yet here we are

• I can just imagine, Ferrari getting a 1-2 and it’s their first of the season so obviously it’s all glitz and glamour and everyone associated with Ferrari is SO happy

• per the F1 mandated rules a Teams 1-2 means the drivers can either use each other OR they can choose a threesome

• so obviously Charles and Lewis are expected to only go with each other but cmon these two have explored each others body plentiful during winter break already

• yet the logistics of this are a bit difficult, Lewis doesn’t want certain people, Charles doesn’t want certain people and they both want to feel comfortable with the person

• So their list keeps getting shorter and both of them are in the mood to handle out control, both Charles AND Lewis have experience with other drivers so they know who’s not gonna submit to them

• they finally land on a safe option: Oscar

• Young Oscar with his bunny teeth who already took Charles in his mouth, blissfully gone in the head the whole time. With a look up to the monegasque that Charles lets out a mournful grunt while recounting the memory to Lewis

• they give their choices to the person handling the winners room and after an hour a freshly showered Oscar gets delivered to their room

• he’s all flushed and shy, while both the Ferrari drivers are lounging on the bed drinking wine

• I’m sure Charles will do the first move, impatient that he is, gesturing the younger to him. Making him kneel before the bed, laying the Aussies head on his thighs and scruffing him at the neck. And Oscar will make the PRETTIEST sounds, all high pitched and whimpery

• Charles will just be like “you see lew? he’s SO willing to submit, it’s rather easy” and the Brit will just laugh with that deep chuckle of his, all while Oscar keeps whining still so flustered and now even a bit ashamed of how easily riled up he must look

• they make Oscar do all kinds of positions but the youngest LOVES being scruffed and then taken from behind, doggy style and all. He’s so gooey in the head and his eyes aren’t focusing that he doesn’t even see Charles coming up from behind to his head. His mouth is already wide open, so it would really just be a shame if Charles let that go to waste now would he

• after the night they tuck Oscar in, keeping him warm from both sides and he immediately cuddles into both of them :((

• the next race Oscar is sporting two very pretty bracelets on each arm, very weirdly the letters L and C are both etched into their respected one’s underside tho ?? Strange but who knows what it could mean

Happy Vernal Equinox, I've finished it, my Guardian Angel Soap Ghoap Tea Shop AU. Enjoy!

You'll Never Walk Alone

Pairing: John "Soap" MacTavish/Simon "Ghost" Riley Fandom: Call of Duty Rating: Mature Words: ~8k Tags: Past Major Character Death, Grief/Mourning, Canon-Typical Violence, Established Relationship, Supernatural Elements, Mild Suicidal Ideation, Retired Simon Riley, Mentioned Character Death, Aging, Implied Timeloop, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Hopeful Ending, Canon Compliant, Post-MW3 Summary:

Simon wasn't sure when it started. His nan had always told them that there were spirits—some to protect people, some intending to harm them. Young Simon had been very skeptical. He believed in spirits and ghosts and guardian angels about as much as he believed in Father Christmas or the Easter Bunny—which was to say not at all. They never came round his flat, after all. Gifts were few and far between, mainly on birthdays, though his mum tried to celebrate Christmas. But spirits or ghosts? Figments of imagination, if you asked him. Tommy had always been the more susceptible one when it came to these things, at least when they were young. Astounding how things could change.

[draeshroomer]

Holy hell I just had a fever dream thought, okay so, yknow the theory of Jax being an npc? I know it’s not canon but what if in an au he was but with a twist.

So kinger says in the third episode that he worked on computer programming for 7 years. He is 48, so he was 41 when he started. What if he had a son. Him and his wife lose him while he was young and the memories kinger held onto the most was going to the circus with his son, and getting him a purple stuffed bunny for his birthday. After his loss he created a game with his company so he and his wife could contribute and mourn the loss of their son in this vr game together.

However they realize they are trapped in there with Caine and a version of their son who becomes DRASTICALLY different as time goes on. This causes Queenie to go nuts cause no matter how much they try to make him remember who his parents are, he doesn’t have any in his mind cause he has a programmed back story that doesn’t revolve around these character designs. And his story is too vague to narrow lots of memories down. So, she abstracts, causing kinger to cope by losing hope and just letting the memories of his baby boy slip away, so he can at least remember the last thing he had, his wife.

[royallogana]

TFP Post-war AU where Megop mourn the loss of Elita every year with black, pink, and yellow roses because they would have been her favourites on earth.

Megatron would write poems for her and place them by her tombstone and Optimus would make weapons in her honour(Megatron would use them) and read her favourite legends mainly Megatronus, Prima and Solas.

(If you would like to use any plot bunnies I have posted, you can use them but with credit to me and/or link me to the fic or art.)

Once Upon a Lifetime

Summary: SasuSaku! RoyalAU. Sakura wins the raffle to become Sasuke's queen - but will she ever win the raffle to his heart?

A/N: Years and years ago, I read The Conspiracy by miko-chan (does she still exist here?), and I've always had this plot bunny in my mind about this AU. Today, after years and years I feel full and inspired enough to have begun writing it. As with all things I put to paper, it became much more dramatic than I had intended (which was a rom-com), but I hope you like it as much as I do.

CHAPTER 1

The palace halls of Nippon Koku had grown quiet in recent months, a far cry from the bustling, vibrant energy they once held under King Itachi Uchiha. Itachi had always been a symbol of peace and stability, a king beloved by the people for his kindness and wisdom. His reign was marked by prosperity, his presence a constant reassurance that the kingdom was in capable hands. He often walked amongst the people, speaking with them, learning their stories, ensuring that they knew their voices were heard. He ruled with a grace that felt innate, as though he had been born for the crown.

But the sickness changed everything.

It began as fatigue, something small that Itachi dismissed for months. But as his health deteriorated, the palace’s publicists worked tirelessly to cover for his absence, feeding the public narratives of his diplomatic missions or strategic retreats. Yet the truth couldn’t be hidden forever. Itachi’s illness—cancer—soon became too severe to mask. His once-vibrant energy was drained by the endless treatments, leaving him pale and frail, a shadow of the king he once was. When the official announcement of his condition was made, it devastated the kingdom. The people mourned the idea of losing a king they had loved so deeply. But even more shocking was the revelation that Itachi would step down permanently. The throne would pass to his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke had never been a public figure. While Itachi was warm and approachable, Sasuke was distant, cold, and often appeared angry or solemn in public. Few saw him beyond his stoic exterior, and fewer still believed he could ever fill his brother's shoes. Where Itachi was loved, Sasuke was feared. And fear, as the Uchiha family well knew, could only take a king so far.

Still, Sasuke had prepared for this moment in his own way. Though reluctant to take the throne, he had always been a strategist at heart, one who picked his allies carefully. Before the crown fell on his head, Sasuke had curated his circle with meticulous precision. His personal assistant, Neji Hyūga, was among his most trusted. The Hyūga family, one of the most powerful noble houses in the kingdom, had long held influence in matters of governance and diplomacy. Neji, with his stoic demeanor and unparalleled intellect, was a key asset to Sasuke. While his outward appearance was calm, his mind was always analyzing, calculating, ready to provide counsel at a moment’s notice. His presence was quiet but powerful, a figure of silent authority who moved through the palace with an unspoken grace.

Sasuke had also selected Shikamaru Nara as his publicist. While the Nara family wasn’t as politically powerful as the Hyūgas, Shikamaru’s intellect was unmatched. Known for his laziness on the surface, those who truly understood Shikamaru knew that his mind worked faster than anyone else’s. He saw moves before they were even conceived. Sasuke had chosen him not just for his intelligence, but for his ability to manipulate narratives—to craft the kind of public image that Sasuke sorely needed. It was Shikamaru’s job to turn the kingdom’s doubt into trust, to make the people believe that Sasuke, like his brother, was their rightful king.

And now, in the conference room of the Uchiha Palace, that task had reached its most controversial proposal yet.

-

The Uchiha council chamber was filled with the murmurs of discontent. Seated around a long mahogany table were the highest-ranking members of the kingdom’s council, ministers, advisors, and the royal family themselves. The polished elegance of the room, with its tall windows and golden drapes, did little to quell the rising tension.

Nippon Koku, one of the most influential kingdoms in the modern world, was a unique blend of tradition and progress. While its monarchy was centuries old, the state also had a powerful parliamentary system, where elected officials played a crucial role in governance. But when it came to the most significant decisions—especially those involving the royal family—the monarchy’s word was still law. The kingdom’s strength came from its strategic trade position, a dominating influence in technology, rare minerals, and military advancements, which had propelled it to one of the top economic powers in the world. Nippon Koku’s wealth was born from a combination of traditional industries and modern trade routes that connected it with every major continent. It thrived on global commerce, naval power, and technological innovation, making it a hub for diplomacy and commerce alike.

And now, the fate of that kingdom was being debated in a room divided by uncertainty.

The debate had been raging for over an hour, with Fugaku Uchiha leading the opposition. Sasuke sat quietly, his hands folded in front of him, watching as voices were raised, tempers flared, and objections poured in from every corner of the table. His calm exterior hid the storm within.

“This proposal is outrageous,” one of the ministers, an elderly man with a greying beard, barked. “We cannot afford to tarnish the royal family’s prestige by choosing a commoner as the future queen. What would the rest of the world think of us?”

“It’s a reckless idea,” another chimed in. “We are already struggling with public sentiment since the announcement of Itachi’s illness. Do you really believe a raffle will strengthen the monarchy?”

Shikamaru, who had been lounging in his chair, let out a quiet sigh, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. “It’s not about prestige,” he said, his voice cutting through the noise. “It’s about survival. The people aren’t questioning the monarchy because of tradition—they’re questioning it because Sasuke hasn’t connected with them. This raffle would be a bridge between him and the people. It shows them that the king is willing to step down from the pedestal.”

Before anyone could respond, the doors to the chamber swung open, and in strode the Prime Minister of Nippon Koku—Naruto Uzumaki. His entrance was anything but subtle, his vibrant energy seeming to fill the room. Dressed in formal robes, but with a brightness in his eyes that never seemed to dull, Naruto radiated confidence.

“Alright, alright! What’s all this noise about?” Naruto said, his voice booming across the chamber with a mixture of humor and authority. “I can hear you guys arguing from the other side of the palace.” He looked around the room, taking stock of the tension before focusing on Sasuke. “You look like you could use some backup.”

Fugaku’s stern gaze met Naruto’s. “Prime Minister, you surely understand the implications of this proposal. A raffle for a commoner bride? How can we expect the people or the international community to respect such a spectacle?”

Naruto tilted his head, considering the words for a moment before a slow smile spread across his face. “Respect? We’re talking about more than respect, Fugaku-san. We’re talking about trust. And if there’s one thing I know about Sasuke,” he said, glancing at his childhood friend, “it’s that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make sure this kingdom stays strong. Even if it means breaking tradition.”

Fugaku opened his mouth to protest, but Naruto raised his hand, cutting him off. “The people need to see that Sasuke isn’t just sitting on a throne, hiding behind the palace walls. They need to know he’s willing to make tough decisions for their sake. And let’s be real—the world is watching. They’re watching to see if we’re stuck in the past or if we’re ready to lead the future.”

Naruto took a seat next to Sasuke, giving him a playful nudge on the shoulder. “Besides, don’t you think it would be kind of cool to show that the future queen of Nippon Koku could be one of the people? It sends a message—a strong one. We’re not an old-fashioned monarchy anymore. We’re adaptable. And when we say we value the people, we mean it.”

Fugaku’s eyes narrowed. “You’re saying we should let anyone, just anyone, be considered as the next queen?”

Shikamaru leaned forward, his voice sharp. “No, we’re saying we control the process. It’s not just anyone. It’s anyone who passes a set of strict criteria—a vetting process. Clean medical history, education, intelligence. The people get to think it’s a raffle, but we’re the ones who decide who makes it through. It’s a win-win.”

Naruto grinned. “And let’s not forget, we’re going to have to bring Sasuke back into the spotlight. People haven’t seen much of him. This whole process—interacting with the people, going through the motions of the raffle—puts him front and center. The people will see their king again, and this time, they’ll start to understand him.”

There was a quiet murmur in the room, as the council processed Naruto’s words. The Prime Minister’s vibrant charisma and political savvy had always made him a formidable ally to Sasuke, and despite their opposition, the ministers couldn’t deny that there was a certain appeal to the idea. The kingdom needed unity, and perhaps this was the unconventional answer they hadn’t anticipated.

Neji, who had been standing quietly to the side throughout the entire exchange, finally spoke. His voice was calm, steady, and as always, carried weight. “This plan isn’t without risks, but it addresses a deeper issue. The kingdom is vulnerable right now. This initiative would buy us time. Time to heal the people’s trust, time for Sasuke to establish his rule.”

His words, though few, echoed in the chamber. Even Fugaku seemed to consider them more carefully, his sharp gaze shifting between Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji.

All eyes turned to Sasuke. He had listened in silence, his sharp mind absorbing every word, every argument. Now, his gaze was fixed on his father.

“We’re not running a kingdom on tradition alone anymore,” Sasuke said, his voice low but firm. “The world has changed. We’re a global power because we adapt, because we know how to control the narrative. And right now, that’s what we need. Control.”

He turned his gaze to the entire council, his dark eyes cold and calculating. “Shikamaru’s plan gives us that control. We’ll make the people feel part of the process, while ensuring that we get exactly the bride we need. The world will see us as strong, progressive. We’re not stuck in the past, but we don’t compromise on what matters.”

Finally, Sasuke gave a small, sharp nod. “Run the raffle. But we do it our way.”

The decision hung in the air, final and unchallengeable. The council fell silent, knowing that Sasuke’s word was now law. Naruto leaned back with a satisfied grin, while Shikamaru gave a subtle smirk of approval.

The future of Nippon Koku had just taken an unexpected turn.

i need to talk about my whimsical FNAF AU. It was very much inspired by my TOH AU i started off with because i just wanted to Collector Dollify William, but then i turned it into an AU for a brief second ( Its on my art blog but i am a little too tired to link it myself right now ).

But the idea of it right now is:

No horror as a main theme. Might? Get dark as TOH. Its meant to be cozy and whimsical.

Not gonna turn this one into an OC thing trust me gang ( /inside joke ).

Charlie Emily goes missing. A few years later William's children go missing.

William and Henry mourn and still look for their kids. Until one day, when William hears an odd noise from his house. He goes to it.. and its one of the kid's doors. So thrilled yet terrified he opens the door, and falls into a weird, land.

The door was a bit high in the sky and immediately shuts and disappears. But before him is a little yellow bunny.

The vibe i guess? Is MLP/Carebears/Neverland with Dream/Cozy/Magical themes.

The animatronics are all creatures/plushies here.

Might? Be set in modern times, undecided.

Vanessa and Vanny are also here as seperate characters. However Vanny's real name is Haven A. And has no familial relations with the Aftons, while Vanessa is the eldest kid.

Elizabeth and Evan ( sorry that is the name I'm sticking with ), are Twins and both are young teens ( 14 ) while Michael is 18 and Vanessa is 20.

I'll update more when i can!!!! I'm very excited.

Another Danny and Damian are Twins

Um... hi :) I don't post very much, or, like, at all. But!! I have been obsessed with Danny and Damian are twins AU for a long time, and a plot bunny decided to live in my head. I'm debating actually writing this or not at the moment, and I figured, why not get opinions? I'm going to write it no matter what. I just... wanted to know if anyone else wanted to read it?

Edit: Masterpost Next>

Anyways, here's the first chapter:

The moon hung in the desert sky, the stars twinkling and shimmering around it. Two pairs of eyes, one blue and one green, stared up at them. The blue eyes were filled with childlike wonderment, while the green eyes were brimming with boredom. However, both sets of eyes held an undertone of worry. The nine-year-olds sat in an easy and comfortable silence, one that they knew needed to be broken so they could discuss the current state of their place in League. Neither boy wanted to speak first, but it had to be done.

“Danyal,” started the green-eyed boy. Danyal’s eyes turned away from the stars, and green met blue as the boys stared at each other. “We must talk about what we overheard Grandfather saying.”

“Yes, I am well aware,” Danyal responded. His brow pinched in thought, the small scar that adorned his left temple wrinkled in response. “Dami, you do realize what he meant, correct? There can only be one heir, and since no one escapes the League…”

“Then one of us must die.” Damian’s eyes steeled, but with Danyal being the only other soul present, he did not try to hide the glistening of unshed tears in his eyes. “I will refuse to fight you, Danny. I know he will try to make us, but I will not do it.”

“Nor will I, Dami, but you know Grandfather as well as I do. There will be no choice. Unless one of us dies before he can make us.” Danyal turned away from Damian as he said this, knowing that the next words out of his mouth would break his brother’s heart. “I will do it.”

“No, Danyal!” Damian’s sharp but quiet reply was not unexpected, but Danyal still allowed his eyes to return to his twin’s. “I do not wish to live in a world without you.”

“This is not up for debate, Damian. I will not return from this mission, and you will become the sole heir. I will hear no more of this, just know that I will forever love you.” Danyal gave Damian a swift hug, then stood from the ground and started toward the hidden bunker that they had just completed their mission in not even fifteen minutes prior. There were bombs set to go off in just under 4 minutes.

Damian jumped from his position on the ground, ready to chase after his brother. However, as soon as he started forward, he was pulled back to the ground. Danyal had chained him during their quick hug, and slid Damian’s katana just out of reach. Damian growled, already beginning to pick the lock. He knew Danyal was not trying to keep him there, but simply wanted him to stay put during his sacrifice. He finished with the lock swiftly, but as soon as he stood up to begin his sprint toward the bunder, explosions filled the air. “Danyal, no! Danny!” Damian fell to his knees, and as tears filled his green eyes, the only thing that filled his mind was blue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danyal ran as fast as he could away from the exploding bunker. He could hear Damian’s heartbroken cry for him, and his own heart twisted and ached as he desperately wished he could call back to his brother. He knew, though, that if Grandfather or Mother found out that he had not died, then Damian would be forced to kill him. He did not wish that guilt on his twin, which is why he made sure to leave behind everything needed to confirm his death from the explosion. Once he reached the cover of a nearby forest, he allowed himself to stop for just a few moments. He vowed that he would find Damian again, that he would not allow his brother to mourn him forever. He only wished that Mother had disclosed the identity of their father before he had to fake his death, if only so he could go to him in hopes of being reunited with Damian as soon as possible. For now, though, he would escape to America, and hopefully find a place he could hide his presence from the League.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damian returned home, and for what felt like the hundredth time that night, he turned his head and felt the absence of blue eyes meeting green. He stood in front of Grandfather, relaying the proceedings of the mission. He told him that he had waited for Danyal outside of the bunker, but he had not returned to his side even after the explosion. He did not allow his features or his tone to show the hollowness he now felt without his brother by his side, but he did not miss the satisfaction that crossed Grandfather’s face at the mention of Danyal’s death. Mother’s expression had not changed, and Damian could only guess at whether or not she felt sorrow for her son’s death.

“Dismissed,” came the voice of Ra’s al Ghul. Damian turned on his heel and headed straight for his quarters. Quickly, he grabbed Danyal’s favorite book on astrology and hid it underneath his pillow. Damian knew that hope was a foolish thing, but he would never allow himself to truly believe that Danyal was gone. There was always a chance that he escaped, that he would find his way to his brother again once they were older. He sat on the edge of the bed and memorized every detail of Danny’s side of the room. He knew that by morning, all of his brother’s things would be gone, and Danyal al Ghul would be nothing but a memory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danyal quietly made his way through the forest. It was fall now, October, if he had to guess. August felt as if it had been years ago, but the last two months without Damian had been even more agonizing than he had originally anticipated. He looked around for any sign as to where he was, and out of his peripheral he saw a sign along the road. Slowly and carefully, he made his way towards it. “Amity Park, Illinois. Population 15,328.” Danyal read the sign slowly, making sure he fully absorbed the information before he came to a decision. “This will do.” He walked toward the road, and then followed it until he made his way into town. He was sure a nine-year-old carrying a wakizashi around would be unsettling, but he refused to leave it behind. It would be one of the only ways he could convince Damian that he truly was his brother once they met again in the future.

Almost immediately after making his way into town, a police officer approached him and dragged him to the station. When asked about his parents, Danyal informed them that he did not have any. The pitying looks were disdainful, but he kept his mouth shut. He did not wish to garner unwanted attention. Well, more than he already had for being a child that would not part with a wakizashi and no parents. Before he knew it, he was being carted away to an orphanage. He was left with a woman called Mrs. Park, who led him to an office where he sat down in an old plastic chair.

“What’s your name, son?” The sickly-sweet voice of Mrs. Park almost made Danyal gag, but he managed to hold it in.

“Danyal,” he responded, and the lack of a last name made Mrs. Park frown.

“Okay, Daniel. Let me just get you put in the system. We will need a photo and some fingerprints before we take you to the rooms. We have some prospective adopters coming by today, so you might want to get cleaned up.” Mrs. Park pointedly stared at the mud-stained clothes that hung off Danyal, and if she noticed him bristle at the mispronunciation of his name, she didn’t show it.

Once they finished with the necessary paperwork, Danyal was taken to the restroom to get a shower and a change of clothes. He kept his wakizashi with him in the bathroom, and he made sure to leave it on the counter where he could still see it even with the curtain closed. Once he was done, he emerged in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, and he couldn’t help but frown at the restrictions that his new attire provided. He was shuffled into room by Mrs. Park, and he made sure to glare at the other two kids in the room so that they knew to leave him alone.

Mrs. Park clapped her hands. “Okay kids, we have some prospective adopters that just showed up. Their names are Jack and Maddie Fenton, and they brought their daughter Jazz along. Make sure you’re on your best behaviors!” She then opened the door, and the family stepped in.

Teal eyes met blue, and suddenly the ginger teenager, Jazz, if Danyal had to guess, was walking towards him. The looming figures of her parents walked behind her. “Hello! My name is Jazz, what’s yours?” Jazz stared at him expectantly, and Danyal was unsure of how to handle the bright smile that adorned her face, so he settled for a gurgling sound instead.

“This is Daniel,” Mrs. Park spoke up. “He just joined us today. Would you like to get to know him a little better? We can take you to a private room.” Danyal once again bristled at the mispronunciation of his name, but he looked toward the Fenton family to see their response.

The large, burly man grinned excitedly. “Hiya, Danny-boy!” he boomed. “You want to come get to know us? I’m Jack, and this is my wife, Maddie!”

Danyal stared at them, but quietly and quickly responded with a “sure,” and suddenly they were being led to another room by Mrs. Park. They sat in silence for a few moments before the Fenton’s were overzealous and excited balls of energy. Danyal’s eyes snapped to Jazz, and the comforting look she gave him was all he needed to decide that he wanted to stay with this family until he could make his way back to Damian. If Danyal allowed himself to develop a familial bond with Jazz during that time, well, Damian would just have to learn to be okay with an older sister.

Sunny Day Jack - Cat AU Reversal

Remember the AU where Jack is a cat that can transform into a human with or without cat ears and a tail? Well, a recent comment reminded me of the theory that cats might be able to sense ghosts(?) like Jack. This theory came about because cats can’t stand Jack, and he’s not a fan of them either for some mysterious reason. Somehow, I don’t think it’s because Jack is secretly a werewolf or has wolfish traits like he’s from the Omegaverse.

Another bit of lore to fuel this theory came from the (now sadly deleted) trailer where Shaun describes (presumably) Jack as a thing. Shaun has a fair number of cat-like traits, including whisker marks and purring. He’s very cat-coded, so it’s entirely possible that he won’t be able to stand Jack either.

Wouldn’t it be quite interesting then if there was a reversal of the cat AU? Here, MC is the one who’s secretly a cat that can transform into a human, and as such they can sense that there’s more to Jack than meets the eye.

Content Warning: This post contains talk of sex, cheating, abusive family situations, chronic illness, bullying, death, mourning, body horror, yandere obsession, and kinky sexy times with cat-like features. I’ll try to keep things for the most part light and fun, but sometimes drama likes to creep into these headcanons.

Also, sometimes they spark me to write a snippet of a scene or two!

Really, I can see a lot of potential for a more tsundere experience with Jack. Since cats naturally don’t get along with him and vice-versa, there’d be even more friction between him and his sunshine right from the start. This will make winning MC over a heck of a lot more challenging for Jack, and as such put him at much greater risk if he can’t convince them to want him in spite of this natural repulsion. It can also be a great internal conflict for him, as he dislikes cats yet loves MC dearly.

This sort of scenario would be perfect to insert myself like an isekai given my feline avatar, but y’all know how much I love the guy. Maybe it’s because my avatar is a dragon in the shape of a feline that I’m immune to this feline repulsion. Perhaps dragons are the opposite and just instantly fall in love with Jack instead. Jack certainly loves his sunshine as a dragon.

But you know me, I’ve got to indulge with my OTP, and this sort of silly AU is perfect to do just that.

I know in the past I’ve said that my girl Alice is more bunny-coded, but imagining her as a fluffy white kitty with bright blue eyes is adorable. I can see the whole King family embodying the feline spirit, plus it’d be hilarious to imagine how Bo and Elias would have to deal with similar feline shenanigans from Barbie and Coraline respectively.

I wonder if Elias has similar issues with cats as a ghost. I’d be tragic if he actually liked them in life, only for them to be repelled in death. Naturally, it’s pretty obvious what Bo’s beef with cats is, as it’s hard coded into his virtual doggy DNA. This doggo is going to have to overcome his programming for the sake of love.

So, yeah, this post is less about general MCs in this situation and more about my OCs since the possibilities of messing with the guys with cats is hilarious to me. It’s going to be mostly a light-hearted romp with some spiciness here and there.

Of course, the lore of the game and Sunshine in Hell aren’t quite the same when it comes to cats. I’ve mentioned in the past how Jack and Moon Pie are going to bond, and Shaun and Jack are going to become friends despite their issues. Given my fondness for cats and Jack, I just can’t resist the image of kitties snuggling up to him.

But I like adding a bit of spice sometimes, and not just the NSFW kind. It’d be so interesting if Alice is instinctively repelled by Jack at the start, maybe even seeing him as an undead corpse, but she still chooses to save and be close to him. It’d be a very real beauty and the beast tale.

Then again, it’s probably more accurate to call it a beast and the beast tale considering Alice turns into an animal.

Anyway, things play out as they usually do, with Alice picking up the tape at the thrift store, finding it oddly compelling. In this universe, her favorite way to unwind after a hard day is to turn on the TV and slip into something more comfortable. And by comfortable I mean ridiculously flexible because dang, who wouldn’t want to be able to turn into a boneless little puddle of fur? Have you seen how relaxed cats can get? I can’t help but be a little jealous.

Of course, a good boneless sprawl across the sofa gets a little less relaxing when the tape starts talking back. Alice would turn from a limp noodle to a rigid arch with bristled fur in an instant after hearing a character on TV call her by name.

As I’ve mentioned previously, Alice willingly bonded herself to Jack in Sunshine in Hell to save him from, well, hell. The process just made her forget about it. I’m really fond of this headcanon because it goes well with themes of consent in the game and the fact that Jack is literally unable to do anything his sunshine doesn’t want him to do. He needs MC to want and need him in order to remain in this world.

It’d be quite a bit harder for Alice to agree to such a deal when her instincts are giving her clear warning signals that something is wrong with Sunny Day Jack. Looks aren’t everything, and appearances can be deceiving, but animal instincts tend to be a pretty good guide.

However… that wouldn’t be the only instinct demanding that Alice take action. Alice is the reincarnation of Mary, the person who loved this ghost(?) long before he became Jack. They’re soulmates, and her dying wish was to be reborn and loved by her precious starlight once again.

So it would be a war of two cats inside of Alice. One cat is hissing at the unholy abomination pawing at her soul. The other is mournfully crying out for him with a longing that she just can’t explain. Reminds me of that two wolves meme come to think of it.

It’d be quite the confusing moment, that’s for sure.

On the subject of Mary, it would be interesting if she was a cat shifter too. Joseph could’ve been one of those guys that pretend that they don’t like cats, but secretly just wants to cuddle with one. Sadly, the poor guy is so love starved that he comes on too strong, and cats always try to get away from him. It’s easier for him to just pretend he doesn’t like cats so their rejection doesn’t sting quite so much.

With Joseph being a normal, very much alive human, there would be no instinct warning Mary away from him. Well… not unless Joseph is just a natural cat-repellant like Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh. Still, even in that case, Mary would be his special exception. Even Sakaki eventually found her feline soulmate too after all~

You know, it would be interesting if Mary was the only one in the Phoenix family who could transform into a cat. It could even be her own little secret that only Joseph finds out about. She could even use her feline form to sneak off to visit him at his house. It’d be only fair considering all the times he comes to climb in through her window.

As a cat, Mary had the same pretty blue eyes, but a chocolate colored coat, which is pretty rare for cats.

That suddenly gives me the image of someone scooping up Mary in cat form, intending to make her into their pet. She can’t exactly change back in front of a stranger, and though she struggles with all her might, she can’t squirm out of their grip.

Suddenly young teenage Joseph barrels into the cat-napper from behind! This little punk was no stranger to picking fights, and the second he saw someone try to take Mary away, he had to act. It doesn’t matter if they’re an adult and much bigger than him, Joseph will still punch their lights out!

Sure, Joseph might get in trouble if the person reported him or if an authority figure saw him in the act, but why should he care? He won’t hesitate to take on the entire world if it means he doesn’t have to be separated from the one person in the whole world who actually cares about him.

I wonder if in this universe they could’ve run away together. Sure, Mary might’ve been forbidden from seeing him like in the regular continuity, but if she can sneak out as a cat, she can still see him. After being told that she won’t live to adulthood by her doctor, she refuses to waste time that could be spent with the people she cares about. In the normal timeline, her parents put bars on her windows then forced her to move away. She didn’t have the option to rebel. She didn’t even consider running away as an option. She could only accept this sad truth.

Joseph Cullman was a kid who thought about running away though. He’s someone so lonely, so desperate for love. He can’t just let go of the only person who loves him! It was hard enough going to separate schools and only being able to see each other when Mary could sneak out, but news about the move would be devastating.

Joseph can’t let that happen.

I can imagine the scene of Mary coming to Joseph to tell him one last goodbye…

…

Joseph jolted when he saw the way Mary’s eyes glistened wetly with tears. More tears fell when she shifted back to her human form. The puffiness around her eyes and the redness around them hinted at just how many more tears she had shed before seeing him. “Mary? What’s wrong?”

“J-Jo…,” Mary choked out, but that was all she could say before she threw herself into his arms. She buried her face into the crook of his neck just in time to muffle a sob.

Joseph held Mary tightly to him, his heart pounding so hard his chest hurt while a pit formed in his stomach. He remembered the last time she cried into his arms like this, after the doctor told her that she wouldn’t live to see adulthood.

“It… it’s okay…,” he eventually managed to squeak out. “What… whatever it is… it’ll be okay.” The words came out brittle, a lie too fragile to offer any form of strength to either of them.

It took some time for Mary to finally force out the awful truth.

“M-my family is m-moving away!”

Joseph froze, the words coming down on him with the force of a judge’s gavel delivering the death sentence. He barely kept up with the details Mary managed to add between shaky breaths and choked sobs. It was something about a job states away, but whatever was going on with those damn parents of hers didn’t matter. They could fuck off to a different country - a different planet for all he cared! They certainly never cared about what Mary wanted.

Those bastards weren’t satisfied with simply forbidding Joseph and Mary from being together. It wasn’t enough to put bars on her windows or threaten to call the police if he even stepped foot on their property. This move was so extreme, so permanent and final. It felt like a middle finger directed at both of them and their love.

Joseph couldn’t imagine a life without Mary. He refused to accept it.

No one would take his sunshine away.

But what could they do? Mary couldn’t hide at his house, it’d be the first place they’d look! There were so few places they could go. The teachers were relentless about catching delinquents, chasing them out of secret stomping grounds and poking their noses where they didn’t belong. The police would be even worse.

Nowhere in this town was safe. The only way they could be together was…

“We’ll run away.”

The thought slipped past his lips as a quiet whisper. It came out so easily, just as natural a solution as adding one plus one to make two. Hearing it aloud sparked something in Joseph, and in an instant he just knew it was the right decision.

“Wh-what?” Mary sniffled, as she looked up at him with wide, wet eyes.

“We’ll run away,” Joseph repeated, his voice strong and sure. His eyes blazed with a fire that couldn’t be extinguished, as he squeezed Mary just a little closer. “We’ll run away to someplace where no one knows us, so no one can tell us what to do, or pick on us, or keep us apart ever again.

Though stunned and aghast by the idea, Mary still listened. She was reluctant to leave her family behind, but Joseph knew that they didn’t deserve her. He had spent so much time seeing how badly they treated her. His family was no better. It was the same with their classmates, the teachers…

What few protests Mary could offer were feeble, easily shattered by Joseph’s resolve, which only grew more galvanized as he dug up all the awful things they had gone through over the years. So many times he wanted to scream to the world the unfairness of it all, and he laid that unfairness bare for both of them to see that this city had no love to offer either of them.

And that included the people who shared their blood.

Mary didn’t want to lose the only person who treated her like she was worthy of existing. She also didn’t want to lose her parents and older brother, the people she had known all of her life. She had to choose between her family or Joseph. She loved both so much. She wanted so badly to be loved by all of them. The thought of losing either of them tore her apart inside. No matter who she chose, her heart would be cleaved in two.

In the end, Mary chose to keep the half of her heart that actually made her feel loved.

…

I know I kind of skimmed over the way Joseph convinced Mary to run away with him, but they are two love-struck teens, immature and emotional. Mary wouldn’t necessarily have thought of running away on her own, but Joseph is passionate enough about keeping his sunshine that I’m sure he’ll win her over. They’re both in a very emotionally vulnerable state at the time after all.

The same general story beats are the same, leading the pair to LambsWork Productions, and an eventual tragedy. Being a cat shifter didn’t really change much there, save for one small detail.

Mary ran away one last time after the incident. It was the hardest thing she ever did. The hospital was certainly in a panic over their missing patient in critical condition. However, cats tend to instinctively want to go someplace secluded in their final hours. There was only one place she wanted to go, one cold and lonely place she heard about from the few visitors she got.

The SunnyTime Crew weren’t allowed to arrange a funeral for Joseph, but they made a memorial for him in secret. Mary was told about it. They promised to take her there when she got better, so she just had to keep fighting.

This was Mary’s final fight, one last struggle to reach the memorial on her own four paws. When she finally reached it, she curled up around the cross, between the still lit candles, and thought about her starlight as darkness crept in to steal her away for good.

Thaaaaaaat went a lot darker than I intended this post to go. My apologies. I just have so many big feelings about this poor tragic pair. Let’s switch back to a more hopeful future, shall we?

Alice might not remember being Mary, but some instincts still linger. She’s protective and loving… and she was broken by a cheating ex who moved on to new and exciting people without her. In that vulnerable state, Jack appeared, needing her help. Her feline instincts might scream at the wrongness of him, but they also tell her that he was someone she didn’t realize she was missing for so, so long.

Though wary, Alice does agree to help Jack. It’s more than a little surprising for him to see a white cat instead of a person when he starts crawling out of the TV. That surprise only compounds when she turns into a human to help pull him out.

Really, it makes Jack wonder even more if he really is still dreaming after all.

Alice waking up without remembering their initial meeting does set things back a bit. She’s repulsed by Jack even as she’s drawn to him. It makes her feel guilty, but her instincts haven’t let her down before. They were what told her that things about her relationship with Ian weren’t right, made her question things to the point that spent a chunk of her savings booking a ticket to see him, hoping that surprising him with an unexpected visit would put her fears to rest.

Alice arrived at the most perfect, most horrible time.

Cats have really good hearing, and Alice could hear what Ian and the affair partner were doing in his apartment even before she could knock on the door. She was in shock and didn’t know what to do, had nowhere to go in this city she had never visited before. She was only snapped out of her shock by the phone call Ian made when he tearfully confessed what he had done.

Ian was shocked that Alice already knew what he had done. He was even more shocked that she was there. He ran out, wearing only a blanket to cover his modesty. He stank of sex and the other woman. He was covered in lipstick and markings and fluids. It was a repugnant experience for Alice to get her senses assaulted even as Ian was crying and begging for her forgiveness. He didn’t know how it happened, but he promised that he never did this before.

Of course… the affair partner was there, listening. This person knew about Alice and was keen to rub it in the face of her “rival” that she was “better.” After all, a lot of the allure of seducing someone in a relationship is the feeling of superiority.

It was a cruel scene, one that just made Ian’s betrayal all the worse for choosing to destroy their relationship for someone so awful, someone who delighted in Alice’s misery.

Ian, who was overwhelmed by the enormity of what he had done and the shame eating him alive, could do little more than cry and apologize. He was too much of a mess to even refute his affair partner’s barbs, not after what he had done.

Ian never really was good at standing up to bullies, especially when he was in distress.

Alice never tried to make it work in this universe after that. Ian had destroyed her trust and crushed her heart, and the affair partner poured salt and lye into the wound. For as many times as she forgave Ian, this was a pain inflicted far deeper than any she could recover from.

Alice didn’t drown herself in alcohol and go to the hospital in this universe. She instead wandered lost in the city with her luggage after she finally couldn’t take it anymore and ran away from Ian’s apartment. It was the most alone she ever felt in her life, in a place she didn’t know, with no one to trust who she could turn to. She felt like a housecat that had been thrown out of its home, forced to become a stray on the streets of a big, heartless city.

It was the loneliest Alice had ever felt in her entire life.

It took Alice a while to piece herself back together enough to make the return flight with the help of many phone calls with family and friends. They were there to meet her when she got off the flight at the airport and started crying as she was brought into a group hug.

Of course, in the aftermath, Ian still tried to reach out. He tried to fix things, make it work. Alice could never answer his calls. Hearing him crying and begging broke her further, but the entire incident added a heavy bitterness that kept her from wavering.

Jack arrived while Alice was still healing from such a devastating wound. While she had support immediately after the incident, eventually her family went back to their respective homes, Shaun moved away to further his schooling, and other friends of hers drifted further and further apart, especially after she had to move apartments.

Alice had to adjust to a new city where she knew no one and start her life over. She was alone in a big city, keeping a secret that few could learn about for fear that they wouldn’t understand or might take advantage of it. She was scared and wary of Jack when he suddenly entered her life, but also felt a strange longing. Her heart that wished for those beautiful loving moments with Ian now nudged her towards Jack, and she couldn’t understand why part of her wanted him that way. It made no sense.

Much like a cat, Alice kept her distance from Jack, but not too much. She didn’t want to be alone, so she didn’t want to stray far from him. It was complicated.

Fortunately, despite this feeling of wrongness, Jack constantly proved himself to be gentle and kind. He did so much for Alice, took care of her. He saw her as a cat and was actually enthusiastic about cats. He loves cats in fact! He didn’t think she was strange or scary for being able to transform. Alice found it kind of nice having someone she could trust like this, a secret invisible/imaginary(?) friend that she had all to herself.

Besides her family, the only other people who knew her secret were Ian and Shaun. Alice thought she could trust Ian with anything, but she learned the hard way that she trusted him far too much.

Shaun, as one might expect in this sort of AU, is also a cat shifter. Moon Pie will also be a shifter he adopts. Yes, it means he gets to be a single father, but how could he leave poor baby Moon Pie all alone in the world? Plus we get to see cute moments of Moon Pie in her adorable human form.

Look at that face. Who would be heartless enough to leave her behind? Credit for the gorgeous art, as always goes to the awesome Sauce. Consider supporting them and SnaccPop Studios on patreon!

Cat shifters can sense one another on instinct. That’s how Shaun figured out what Moon Pie was and how he and Alice spotted one another right away when they first met at the college. It made Ian feel uneasy how quickly the two bonded, and he couldn’t help but feel jealous despite being otherwise secure in their relationship. Alice might’ve trusted Ian with her secret, but she wasn’t about to share anyone else’s without permission, so Ian didn’t learn the real reason why they clicked so quickly.

Shaun didn’t like Ian’s vibes so never let Ian in on the secret that he was a shifter like Alice. It also gave him a little bit of petty satisfaction to see Ian jealous. It made bearing his one-sided crush on Alice a little easier. Of course he would never do more than lightly poke Ian to make himself feel better. He would never try to break up a happy couple, and he wasn’t a scumbag who cheats on his partner or helps other people cheat on their partners.

Of course, Shaun soon learned they weren’t quite as happy a couple as they wanted to be.

Sleepovers with Shaun in this universe involved kitty cuddle puddles. There was nothing like curling up together all warm and toasty in some blankets during a horror movie marathon. Cats can do some pretty close cuddling too. It certainly would’ve made Ian and Jack pretty jealous if they saw it!

Which is exactly why Shaun is going to do so when he’s staying at the apartment after getting settled in. He’s gotta pay back Jack for rubbing it in his face that Alice chose Jack after all.

Of course, Shaun isn’t going to have the same split instincts that Alice had. He’s going to be freaking out over Jack, being extra defensive over Alice. For as much as Alice insists that Jack isn’t dangerous, it’s hard for Shaun to shake the feeling of wrongness. Alice fully understands the feeling, as she felt it before. Really, that feeling hasn’t gone away completely, she’s just managed to calm her instincts in that regard with the love she feels for Jack. He’s managed to soothe those defensive instincts down to just a small prickle at the back of her mind.

Since Shaun can’t convince Alice that Jack is bad news, he’s more determined to stick around and keep an eye on Jack. Given how much Alice gave of herself to Ian, who only hurt her in the end, Shaun isn’t convinced that history won’t repeat itself with Jack.

Really, Shaun would consider coming up with excuses to stay in the apartment longer if not for poor baby Moon Pie. Both he and Alice would be worried about her being distressed by Jack's presence. Shaun, naturally, goes protective papa mode, and Alice wants to do all she can to comfort her. For Moon Pie's sake, it's best that they get their own place.

Of course, Shaun would prefer that Alice comes with them and leaves Jack behind.

Jack does try to reassure Moon Pie that he's not dangerous, as she is just an innocent, blind child. It makes him very sad to see any child afraid of him. It bothers him more than he'll admit. (After all, it was Joseph's fear that he might hurt or upset kids as Sunny Day Jack.) He goes out of his way to try and be friendly to her, but she's not convinced, and often openly hisses at him even in human form.

It hurts Jack a lot that the only child that can perceive him is so afraid of him. He can't rest easy with that, eating away at him similar to certain bad memories, so he makes it his personal mission to befriend Moon Pie. It's a priority for him that comes second only to taking care of Alice and loving her.

I figure that Shaun sees a shadowy outline where Jack is, something twisted, putrid, and rotting. Jack gives off a phantom stench that he recoils from. He can't see how Alice can stand to cuddle that thing.

Alice did see Jack in a very distorted way when he arrived. Hell, he still doesn't quite fit in reality, but she can see him for what she is. Her love for him has dulled those repellant sensations so she can better sense him the way he wants her to see, feel, hear, smell, and taste him.

Moon Pie, being blind, can't actually see Jack, but she can keenly feel him, and smell the wrongness. She calls him stinky and often buries her face in Shaun's shirt when Jack is around so she doesn't have to smell him.

While in Sunshine in Hell, Shaun is going to be wary of Jack, over time, he does warm up to the guy, as there’s no instinctive sense of wrongness interfering in that universe. With his protective instincts on high alert in this one, he’s going to have a much harder time calming down about the guy, if he ever does.

It's possible though that Moon Pie will warm up to Jack before Shaun does. Children are more adaptive, and Jack is experienced with dealing with children, plus he is very sincere in wanting to befriend her. Regardless of his feelings about Shaun, he badly wants Moon Pie to like him. Alice certainly helps by championing him as a good guy who can be trusted despite what their feline instincts might lead them to believe.

You bet your sweet bippy that Shaun is going to dig hard into Jack’s past and figure out what the hell is going on with him. He wants to learn everything - where Jack came from, how Jack came to be, what the hell Jack even is, etc. He might wind up digging and clashing with Jack to the point that he gets treated to a certain little speech…

But this was supposed to be a fun and silly AU, so let’s put the drama and yandere horror on the shelf for now and get back to the sweet fluff.

Once Alice gets comfortable with Jack, she’ll start spending time after work curled up in his lap as a cat. Somehow he always manages to find just the perfect ways to stroke her and get her purring. It feels so good, and she practically meeeeeeeelts at his touch. Relaxing as a cat was the best way to unwind, but Jack makes the experience even better, massaging all the soreness out of her muscles and encouraging her to just sprawl across him languidly, opening up to him completely and without reservation or shame.

Jack can’t help but imagine Alice as a human in those positions. It certainly gives him a hard time while they’re still in the friendship stage. He’ll need to be subtle about readjusting his comfy kitty sunshine to rest in his arms or on a pillow in his lap as he hides just how excited he made himself with his naughty private thoughts.

Naturally, once they become a couple and things get intimate, Jack uses these petting sessions as an excuse to coax Alice to let him touch her in human form… though she can keep those cute kitty ears and tail. He just loves how sensitive those parts of her are, so perfect for him to exploit. He can stroke and lick and nibble, making her mewl for him in the most sinful way.

The purring is nice too. Jack loves to point out when Alice is purring for him. It makes him so happy that he can make her feel so good… and of course the purring feels wonderful when he’s inside her. It’s practically sinful the way her warm body vibrates around him, so intimate and pleasurable. Her halfway form has a texture to her tongue, nothing sharp but the little bumps are so nice when she’s going down on him.

Alice is always extra careful about her fangs, but Jack doesn’t mind if she uses them on him. In fact, he encourages it. He loves it when she leaves love bites all over his body, marking him with her love. He makes sure to return the favor so that the whole world can see his love all over her precious body.

Although Jack can’t carry cat Alice around in public like she can in the AU where Jack is the cat, he can still enjoy some kitty in the titty time. His chest is so warm, with ample cleavage that’s perfect to snuggle into. He can even zip up the bottom of his jacket to make sure she won’t fall out of his shirt - not that he would ever allow that to happen. He would never hurt his sunshine, ever!

As a cat, Alice is so small, vulnerable. There’s something just so soothing being tucked into Jack’s shirt, pressed against his skin, listening to his heartbeat and breathing as she’s wrapped up in his warmth and scent. The way he strokes her and coos sweet words of love are addicting. It’s so hard for her to want to leave this warm little nest she found in his arms, her safety from a cold, lonely world.

It’s familiar too. Sometimes in that hazy state of half-sleep, Alice imagines tattoos on Jack’s chest and phantom scents that are so nostalgic and make her think of home. It’s not quite memories of Mary, but she also loved to be held by Joseph just like this a lifetime ago. The world wasn’t so big and scary when she was surrounded by love.

Jack subconsciously remembers these moments as well, the familiar fur and purring, the way his sunshine rubs her cheek against his chest to mark him with her scent on instinct, claiming him as hers. He is hers, and Alice is his. It’s a truth that had been blurred in his mind for so long, lost and distorted with all his other memories, but now it's oh so clear.

Jack knows that being with Alice is why he’s there. He knew her once - these moments were too familiar, too much like home for him to convince himself otherwise. He can’t remember when or where… but this is his sunshine, his amazing, beautiful, supernatural sunshine that makes him warm like no one else ever could.

Alice was so lonely without Jack, he knows that. Even with her family and other relations… he knows she must have been missing something, someone important. Fortunately, he’s here now, and he will never let anything separate them. Ever.

People like Ian and Shaun are seen as opportunistic annoyances that swooped in to fill in the space Jack left behind in his absence. Alice doesn’t need them now that Jack is here.

Her family… can they be trusted? Jack isn’t sure. Since they're cat shifters, surely they'll react the same way Shaun and Moon Pie did. Alice gave him a chance in spite of that instinct because what they have is special. These people... he has no idea.

Alice clearly loves her family, often speaking highly of them. For some strange reason, a part of Jack feels like that’s not true. Not that he thinks Alice is lying! He's sure she means every word, but... he can't quite shake this feeling that they're not good for her. Thoughts of his sunshine’s family were like dark clouds, dimming her beautiful light… yet, what he sees time and time again is the opposite. She lights up when she talks to them over the phone or when she tells him things about them. They sound so warm, like her, and she’s certain that they’ll like him too, even if they have to work around the supernatural roadblocks.

Even still, Jack can’t completely shake the creeping dread that her family is a threat, like they plan to steal her away. He can’t remember why, and he feels bad for thinking that way when they mean so much to her, but he needs to make sure that nothing will ever get between him and Alice.

That’s a bit of a heavy note, but this AU is going to have a happy fluffy ending to it despite the occasional bump in the road because I’m a sucker for happy endings with my OTP. It’s just that this universe has a bit of a winding path to get there. In the end though, Alice and Jack will be happy, and eventually have a few kittens who can turn into children that look like a mixture of the two of them.

Wow, this silly AU ramble went on longer than expected. I should probably start wrapping things up, so I'll be really quick when touching on Barbie and Coraline.

Barbie, being a cat shifter, is a lot more prone to teasing Bo. She doesn't have any negative instincts towards him, but she knows the stereotype and can't help but use it as an excuse to tease her virtual doggy boyfriend. She won’t have the nickname of “Puppy” in this universe, but instead it’ll be “Kitty.” Bo might have issues with cats, but Barbie is his one and only exception. How can he hate her when she’s so warm, and he needs her so badly?

Still, Bo can’t help but go even crazier over her antics in this world, especially since she just loves to tease him without mercy. Like a dog, he wants to chase his kitten around, pounce on her, and show her who the alpha really is. Somehow though, his pretty kitty always manages to get the drop on him, making him be the one to roll over and expose his belly in submission.

Barbie is a large cat - think Maine Coon large - a brown tabby with black stripes and white accents. She has that classic tabby cat look that you could find most anywhere, but her eyes are still dazzling shades of blue and brown that have her stand out from an ordinary cat.

Barbie, also, is a master of the kitty smirk. She uses her feline form as a means to escape interacting with people, and favors climbing to high places to lord over others. In her cat form, she has a collar she wears, and after she gets Bo she decides to clip his digital pet charm onto it so she can take him on wild adventures through the city. It’s a pretty jostling ride, but Bo prefers being shaken up by his kitty and having the world turn into a blur around them as she runs and jumps around rather than being left behind alone at her apartment. 

Coraline is the definition of a house cat due to her health problems. It hurts less to be a cat, strangely enough. Like Barbie, she’s also a brown and black tabby, but she has a lot of white patches along her face, head, belly, and “socks” on her feet. She also has a pretty pair of golden brown eyes.

Although cats instinctively recoil from ghosts, Coraline is still fascinated with them. The sensation she gets from haunted spaces is a rush that makes her addicted to learning more and more about them. When she meets Elias, she’s frozen in place with her instincts screaming in fear, yet at the same time she’s never felt more alive.

So, in a way, cat Coraline is much more of a thrill seeker in this universe, just when it comes to encountering the supernatural. While she might not be healthy enough to parkour around the city like her big sister Barbie, she’s still living quite the exciting life at a more moderate pace.

I think I’ll wrap things up there. Admittedly, there’s not too much different from the regular continuity overall, just some fine feline features have been tweaked here and there. Still, I had fun indulging in images of Jack cuddling kitty Alice and the interesting and unexpected dramatic shifts in the story that comes from what was otherwise a very silly AU. I hope you all enjoyed reading about me indulging in my love of kitties mixed with my OTPs!

I don't think I have ever read what they might have thought about whole sworn brotherhood trio.

16. Hi! Do you guys know any fics where Wei Wuxian kind of embraces the duties of Madam of the sect? Like, really start to take over the planning, the logistics, the care for the people and maybe is even called Lan Er Furen or Lan Furen? May thanks!

By Any Other Name by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 31k, Wangxian, Canon Divergence, Crossdressing, Misunderstandings, Identity Porn, Identity reveal) in which WWX takes on a cover identity as JC's (female) cousin and basically takes on the duties of Madame Jiang to the point that everyone *assumes* he's JC's betrothed (he isn't, its a wangxian fic)

The Housewife's Guide to Causing Chaos by dvasva (M, 127k, WIP, WangXian, Canon-Typical Violence, Functionally Trans Character, Mild Sexual Content, Domestic Fluff, Love Confessions, Transphobia, Good Parents LWJ and WWX, Pining, WWX is a Tease, Grief/Mourning, Body Dysphoria, Fake Marriage, Canonical Character Death, Misunderstandings, Doting LWJ, Canon Divergence, Arranged Marriage, WWX is not in MXY's body, Misgendering, Mild Angst, Assumptions, Comedic Elements, non-sexual nudity, Blood, Discussion of Various Bodily Functions, Cloud Recesses Shenanigans, 4 years of mourning instead of 13, Méishān Yú Sect, POV Multiple, Corporal Punishment, Trans WWX, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, pregnancy mention, Timeline What Timeline, Sexual Harassment Threats) WWX resurrected in the body of LWJ's (OC) wife. Less heavy on the logistics/clan management but iirc there's some

My Leaves Reach Ever for the Sun by nonplussed (T, 26k, WangXian, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fix-It, Crossdressing, Idiots in Love, Sharing a Bed, Canon Divergence, Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies) actual "Madame"/sect duties stuff is mostly in the epilogue but this is a really fun fic about WWX undercover as LWJ's wife (endgame wangxian) Maybe these two also:
