Weekly Wrap-up #6

Title: A New Dawn -(Art)

Gift For: libbysketch

Rated: General Audiences (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Decided to combine 2 of your prompts to gift you a cozy little scene of older Noctis and Prompto, working and their own cat cafe, A New Dawn :D

Title: Scents And Sensibility -(Fic)

Gift For: DestinyIslandWanderer

Rated: Mature (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: They say a beta is an alpha’s best friend. So Prompto is more than happy to be the supportive beta best friend of Crown Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum. Except as they grapple with all the embarrassments of puberty, Prompto may not actually be the beta he always thought he was.

AKA It’s no big deal that Noctis is an alpha and Prompto just presented as omega. Nothing could change their friendship (it’s going to change their friendship).

Title: All My Stars Lead To You -(Fic)

Gift For: KatrinaEagle

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Prompto is finally going to meet Noctis in person when their online D&D group plays a Live Show at Kweh Con.

Title: Welcome to our Town!-(Fic)

Gift For: Blivvi

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Prince Prompto Aldercapt has a Great Idea! During the signing of the Peace Treaty between Lucis and Niflheim, he will show Prince Noctis around his home! Surely this will be fantastic! ...Probably. ..... Maybe.

Noct on the other hand has a few thoughts and feelings about the peace treaty, and also about Prince Prompto himself.

Title: Dreaming like the Dead -(Fic)

Gift For: SalamanderSocks

Rated: Teen (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Noctis didn’t know his father would die, when he left Insomnia. He barely remembers his mother, so he doesn’t know if he knew back then. But he knew how his maid would die, before she did. It was an accident. As a child he only had a vague concept of what it meant to inherit the powers that came with the name Lucis Caelum, until something surged in him one day and he touched his maid’s wrist with an intend he didn’t understand and then he saw it.

Soulmate AU, where you dream of your soulmate's death, unless you're a Lucis Caelum.

Title: Rotenburo -(Fic) Mod Note: The author has locked this piece to the Archive. You must be logged into Ao3 to view it.

Gift For: Amarilly

Rated: Explicit (please mind the tags on Ao3)

Summary: Turns out Noctis has never been to a hotspring and Prompto is dying to give him an experience he'll never forget.

Aaaaand that's a wrap! On to other things!

Rating: T

Category: M/M

Relationship: Prompto Argentum/Ignis Scientia

Other Tags: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Loss of Control, Arranged Marriage, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Asexuality Spectrum, Demisexuality, Demisexual Ignis Scientia, Pining, Aromantic, Misunderstandings, Mating Bond, Mating Bites, Fade to Black

Summary: Ignis Scientia isn’t the kind of person who WANTS to get married.

Being the Hand to the Prince of Lucis is his devotion. He was selected at a young age, sculpted to the position, in the expectation that he, like his parents and their parents as well, would present as a beta and be the perfect cool, collected mind to guide and advise the young Lucian prince.

But now it's clear. He is no beta. And if he wants to continue in Noct's service, he will have to find someone to marry. Now.

This Chapter: And what happens after...

[purgetrooperfox]

hi! I'm new here, could I possibly get a sparknotes about your oc's? -🍉

hello! welcome! I'll do my best to condense some of my guys lol I've been meaning to post some character sheets on here so maybe this will be the kick into gear I need. you can find my oc fics on ao3 (same username) in a collection on my profile as well!

putting some of my more Frequently Mentioned sw ocs under the cut!

Nocte (he/him) is my Coruscant Guard CMO

he was trained to be the designated medic for an ARF squad, but extenuating circumstances at the start of the war resulted in his assignment to the Guard. acting as CMO means he doesn't get much field exposure but he's well-trained for it when need be

back on Kamino, he thought the Coolest thing one could be was a Mandalorian. he did not, however, like many of the Mandos he met

he's loyal (sometimes to a fault) to family and generally distrustful of politicians

he has a soft spot a mile wide for kids and shinies. very protective of them. like. extremely protective

buddies with Fox. vaguely disapproving of most things Thire does. knows Monnk and Wolffe from when they were all cadets

he has a bit of a reputation for recklessness in his personal life. work hard and play hard amiright

a year and change(ish) into the war, he starts a uhhhh kinda sorta relationship with Kit Fisto. bear with me on that, I swear it makes sense and I'm actively working on a fic with the context. in some (several) verses, he gets into a relationship with both Kit and @/spacerocksarethebestrocks' Dara. and sometimes @/penguinkiwi's Ashe is mixed in too

he's close like 🤞 with @/dilf-archivist's Saleese. she's the only Senator he trusts

after the rise of the Empire, he watches the slow disintegration of his unit until his chip errodes, shorts, and he's killed in the process of breaking some of the younger troopers out :)

he can be friends with your OC too 👉👉

Uj'alayi (he/him) is an ARC trooper

[R art cred: @/maiseey]

initially assigned to work with the Jedi Shadows. he was kind of cocky, and butted heads pretty hard with Quinlan at first. they made a good team once they got on the same page.

about halfway through the war, he suffered a Traumatic Incident, nearly died, lost his arm, nearly died again (via decommission), ended up with the Guard. in the new role, he works primarily with animal handling and occasionally takes the odd assignment with the Shadows on the side

tbh his personality changes a lot after the Incident, in ways I can't concisely explain in a blurb

he's generally pretty easy-going, quick to laugh and joke, gets along well with most people on a surface level

avoidance through humor was always one of his coping mechanisms, but it comes out in force after the Incident

occasionally goes back to Tipoca to help train new batches of ARCs and argue with Alpha-17

once he decides he trusts someone, it takes a Lot to shake that

he gets purge-troopered after the rise of the Empire and gets a squad of stormtroopers to oversee

your OC will have to put in work to be his friend 😔

Lān'drien "Lane" Hurosa (they/them) is a journalist on Coruscant

they're from Ryloth (b. 48BBY) and claim to have used the experience of growing up there amid significant political and social turmoil as motivation to get into reporting

sticking their nose where it doesn't belong has gotten them in a not insignificant amount of trouble, which is how they first met Quinlan Vos

their work puts them in proximity to the Senate fairly regularly and they're usually good at networking among them, regardless of their personal politics. there are exceptions to this though

friends with Saleese <3

they're pretty skeptical of the Jedi tbh. kind of just squinting at them over steepled fingers like "okay you say you're not beholden to politics but..."

Quinlan introduces them to Uj early in the war and the rest is history (they're together off-and-on until order 66 and the fall of the Republic)

several years later, they join up with the Rebellion. I haven't hammered out all the details yet but they get to be Ezra's weird old uncle (gn)

they do have that fuckign Rylothian (French) accent and I think it's hilarious

they'll be friends with your OCs if they aren't dirtbags 😌

Bastra Vargdan (he/they) is a Jedi Investigator

[I borrowed his undercover outfit from mk erron black]

he was born (57BBY) and lived on Dathomir until he was like six y/o. Dooku was the one to scoop him and take him back to the Temple, at the behest of his community. fun fact, he went back to Dathomir to get his tattoos done by someone in his village, per tradition

he's in Quinlan's age/crèche group

he's a known buddy and bully (affectionate) of Obi-Wan Kenobi

Sifo-Dyas took him as a Padawan. Dooku had varying levels of influence over his training by proxy, which included making sure he's at least proficient in Makashi. his primary 'saber form is a blend of Djem So and Shien (V)

he was Knighted by Mace Windu after a three-year solo mission undercover with a gang of slavers in the Outer Rim. Sifo-Dyas was only able to act as his remote liason, and only for a year before he died. one of Bastra's home visits was for the funeral

he's been assigned big brother to @/certified-anakinfucker's Omura

when she comes of age, he takes @/certified-anakinfucker's Kimni as a Padawan (Kimni is kinda sorta our joint OC now I guess???)

a lot of his spare time before taking Kimni on was spent in the crèche, helping out with the littles

his role during the war flits between backing Obi-Wan up in leading the 7th Sky Corps and investigative work. he is less than impressed by this. especially the part where he's supposed to bring his Padawan to the frontline

he spends. basically his entire tenure after getting Knighted fighting with himself. let's say he touched the Dark during a low point and has to work to keep it at bay for the rest of his life. and he manages not to Fall

he survives Order 66 by the skin of his teeth and goes into hiding. he does some merc work and bounty hunting to get by, but steers clear of the Core

the Inquisition catches up to him in the end and he dies in Imperial custody on Nur in 14BBY

he'll be friends with your OCs ✌️

So I was thinking

Has anyone thought of making a Punishing Gray Raven Mod for Stardew Valley?

I just find the League of Legends one and thought " we can make PGR out of it", replacing the characters and all.

The characters I swapped was something like this:

Sam - Kamui - Noan

Shane - Camu - Watanabe

Sebastian - Lee - Wanshi

Penny - Liv - Selena

Elliot - Chrome

Haley - Vera - Alpha - Luna

Leah - Bianca - Selena - Ayla

Alex - Kamui - Noct

Abigail - Karenina - Nanami - Alpha

Emily - Liv - Ayla - Nanami

Harvey - Wanshi - Watanabe

Maru - Lucia - Ayla

That would be amazing to have a mod of PGR, so if anyone is interested I will be waiting 👀

I don't know shit of how to make mods or the art 🫠

[asktrainerzoroark]

A strange mechanical floating Yellow and Grey seemingly young?Umbreon[Nocte] pops in from seemingly nowhere(think a mix of an eevee, an umbreon, and an alpha core unit from mindustry) "That is a rather strange error though, if you can't reply to it, why not try to look up similar cases of that happening?, it's not like malignant code, and errors will try to possess ya if you do" @sharded-umbreon

@sharded-umbreon

[ffxvficrec]

by DistractedDream Noct. The smell, the new smell, was Noct . It had to have been. Noct had just had his first rut. Ignis was well aware how his own bed retained his scent after a heat, even with fresh bedding. So it stood to reason it would be the same for ruts. Which meant Ignis could scent Noct.

(@ask-impatient-samurott)Kappa@Nocte: Kappa pulls a face. "You... are the weirdest looking guy I've ever seen. You look like my air conditioner... but with legs." Kappa notices Nocte's annoyed expression. "Oh, sorry. Didn't know ACs could get pissy, hah. ...Seriously, why do you look like that."

Nocte looks quizzicly at the samurott, eying him curiously a strange light scanning him over "Well at least some lifeforms are alive after the seeding event that the crux caused, as for why I look like this, I am in an assembly line processing hovering Aerocraft, or an Alpha for short, if you're referring to my expression it's because I just realized the crux have control of the planet, and have disrupted the ecosystem completely, just because they want their structures to be more efficient" nocte looks a bit peeved as he talks about the crux, close to the strange box like structure, as he constructs 2x2 apparati, using a similar strange light shining from the ship, as well as conveyors to transport the orange looking metal coming from them in fairly large chunks, are those automatic miners?

Sunshine from a Stranger 3

Part 1 Part 2 

Short on account of a need for a transition chapter and also because I have to sleep soon?

Prompto stares at a wall, it’s got lovely black and silver filigree paint and in the center a piece of art depicting the ascension of the first Lucian King. He doesn’t really see it, just notes, idly that if he breathes on anything it will probably lower the value and yet still, he would be outclassed by the dirt on the floor here.

Probably, he assumes, scuffing at the nicely polished floor with the cheap sneaker Iggy-Ignis had provided him, because that dirt has touched the feet of royals. He’s so out of his element.

Lucis. Insomnia. It’s all beautiful and he’s met alphas from here now and they are more than he could’ve hoped, they are...god they’re human. Not the monsters he’s come to fear, even the most sane alpha’s in Niflheim twist when they get too near him in his heat and yet…

He remembers Noct, pressed against his side as he rode out the uncomfortable, sometimes painful heat. The memory makes his cheeks color especially when it occurs to him, he was cuddled to the Crown Fucking Prince.

He breaths in slowly, looking back at the wall and trying to actually take in the painting. Slightly down the hall from the bench he sits on, his tank top and jeans a testament to his lack of belonging, there’s a man with dark hair in a uniform he’s starting to recognize.

Kingsglaive. The word is supplied to him from his limited knowledge of Lucis, the whispers of a place without dread, with equality that overlooks the secondary sex, see’s people. The Kingsglaive are elite fighters, protectors of the crown, outshone only by Crownsguard, the specific protectors each King picks as his personal guard.

Prompto can’t look at the painting anymore, so he tries to observe the man without being obvious about it. He’s fairly tall, a few days growth of whiskers, his dark hair is partially shaved a few braids swing when he turns his head instinctually to listen more to the earpiece he wears. The black garb is decorated with faint silver and he wears it well, his eyes are blue, not as captivating as Noct’s but...oh. Shit.

Prompto blinks, the blue eyes wink at him and he blushes. The glaive starts walking toward him and his leg bounces as he thinks about bolting, but, well there’s nowhere to go, not while Noct and the others are talking to Noct’s dad.

The King, Prompto reminds himself.

“Hey kid.”

Another surprise, the Glaive speaks Gralean. He smiles quickly at the other man, breathing in carefully, Alpha.

“Hey. Uh, ‘m Prompto?”

“I’m Nyx. You sure that’s your name?”

Prompto laughs a little and relaxes a bit at the way the Glaive smiles, “Uh, yeah. Sorry. I’m...new to this whole, people thing.”

Nyx nods, humming a little, and Prompto gets the impression he’s going for sage agreement.

“We all gotta start somewhere. You came in with Prince Noctis from Niflheim?”

Prompto nods, looking away as he does, his leg is still bouncing.

“Well kid, I don’t know shit about you but if the Prince brought you here you’ve got to be alright, especially if Lord Scientia agreed to it. I know it’s a lot to take in but trust me, past the ancestral grandeur the King and his son are decent people.”

Prompto smiles a little, he already could’ve guessed as much from just a few days travel with Noct.

“Yeah, Noct was great, for an alpha.”

He cringes Nyx is one too after all, but he doesn’t get a chance to take it back.

“Yeah, hard-headed lot we are.” He laughs and Prompto relaxes again, grinning.

“You’re not from here either though?”

Nyx shakes his head, “Nah. That’s a long story, I’m sure yours is too. Maybe if you stick around for a while we can share,” he tilts his head again, listening, “Sounds like the King’s asking for you kid.”

Prompto swallows, brushing off his shirt a little as Nyx responds to someone over the communication device, “This is Glaive Ulric, I’ll bring him in.”

It’s almost startling to hear him speak Lucian and Prompto has to consciously switch back over, having settled into Gralean again. Nyx raises an eyebrow at him, standing, as though to ask if he’s ready and Prompto nods, blonde bangs falling into his face and he shoves them back again, determined.

Nyx leads him through the door Noct and the other’s went through before and he steels himself, expecting a throne room. Instead it’s a comfortable office-like space. A large desk covered in papers, several chairs, shelves, some art. No windows though and when his gaze lands on the man behind the desk it makes sense that the security risk would be too high.

Noctis, standing beside the desk, Ignis seated, Gladiolus leaned agains the wall. Prompto marks their locations thoughtlessly, his fight or flight kicking in because the two Alpha’s behind the large desk are giving off such strong influence he feels his knees threaten to give.

“Hey Prom.”

Noctis voice draws his attention and he realizes he’s not really breathing. He forces in a breath and smiles quickly, “Hey Noct.”

Winces, because fuck that’s informal, but he’s starting to get his head on straight again and Nyx nods to the room at large before excusing himself, Prompto misses him immediately. Another odd man out, well, kind of.

“This is my dad Prom. He has a couple of questions, if that’s cool?”

Prompto looks back at the seated man, grey hair, Noctis’ eyes, but a little bluer, the raiments of a King.  Yeah Noct, he thinks, your dad.

“Yeah. Uh, what uh, what did you need to know your Majesty?”

Shit. He should’ve probably bowed or something, well...there goes that. The King doesn’t seem particularly disturbed but the man on his right, short white hair and a scarred face, is much more frightening, at least until Gladio speaks up.

“You’re freaking him out dad, lay off.”

“Dadsclub.” Prompto says it out loud, he can feel the shape of the words on his tongue and he’s pretty sure it’s from spending too much time alone because there is no good reason for him to blurt that kinda shit out in front of these men.

The tension that’s been coiling in the room snaps as the King chuckles and Noctis laughs aloud, even Ignis gives an amused huff.

“Prompto. I’m glad you seem remarkably chipper despite coming from what Noctis assures me is a bleak situation. I simply wanted to ask if you would be willing to do a full interview once you’ve had a day or two to settle here, there are many things that we do not know about our northern neighbors and also I wished to see if you were alright with arrangements being made to stay here in the citadel. Normally we would request you be placed under watch until our security concerns were cleared but from what Gladiolus and Ignis have said I do not believe such measures necessary.”

Prompto nodded quickly, his hair falling back in front of his face, “I can do that. I mean, I don’t know how much help I can be but uh, Noctis brought me all the way here it’s the least I can do. If it’s too much trouble for me to stay in the citadel I can go somewhere else but I don’t know anything about Lucis really so if I could stay here that would be great! Your Majesty!”

The king smiles again, “You may call me Regis when we are in private Prompto. I am not your king by birth and I don’t expect your allegiance so quickly. Take some time to learn more about Insomnia. I’m sure Ignis can find accomodations here quite quickly. If you choose to stay with us I only ask that you take the time to learn more of our customs and manners.”

Prompto nods again and glances at Noctis who gives him a thumbs up and a smile.

“Thank you...Regis.”

“Now then, Clarus and myself are needed elsewhere. Noctis I would like a full report by the weeks end and if you would please help Prompto settle in, I believe we can reschedule our dinner for tomorrow night.”

The king and Gladio’s father left them quickly and Prompto stared at the desk in their absence.

“Prom?” Noctis’ voice cuts through and Prompto looks at him with wide eyes.

“Oh man I am so out of my depth dude!”

Gladiolus laughs and pushes off the wall, clapping his shoulder, “Don’t worry kid, Iggy and I will catch you up on important stuff since the nap Princess won’t be any use. He can show you all the fun stuff I guess.”

Noctis makes and indignant sound and Ignis rises, “Alright. If the two of you can keep the scuffles to a minimum until I show Prompto where he’s too sleep for the night?”

Ignis turns to him and Prompto smiles a little, “You probably are tired but I’m also going to give you some brief information about Insomnia’s laws, particularly pertaining to secondary sex. When you decide more about what you want for the future we can talk more about gaps in your knowledge of the laws here and of biology as I don’t think Niflheim has comprehensive education?”

Prompto shakes his head, not that he’s never been in class, but it was a lot more fight things or fuck things oriented and he doesn’t know a lot about basic life stuff. Hell, he can barely make food that tastes like anything.

The thoughts are drowned though as Noctis swings the door to the hall open again, a bright smile, “I bet there’s a free room near mine.”

Yeah, Insomnia’s fuckin’ weird but Prompto thinks he might be able to find a home here, besides, he’s already started making friends.

So you know that project I suddenly dumped 5000 words on at the beginning of the month? THIS ISN'T IT

Yeah, this is something completely different and is supposed to be SHORT but has at least two chapters, so I guess we'll seeee... It's yet another venture into the omegaverse...

Being the Hand to the Prince of Lucis is his devotion. He was selected at a young age, sculpted to the position, in the expectation that he, like his parents and their parents as well, would present as a beta and be the perfect cool, collected mind to guide and advise the young Lucian prince.

"Oh, uh, you're entering your heat, aren't you?" Magpie asked, sheepishly, as he slid into the man's lap. He'd gotten more casually physical with Tredd and the trio, lately. But he still hadn't confessed any of his feelings. And he'd taken to casually leaning against them all, or seating himself in their laps. "I, do you need me to go?" he asked, carefully, his cheeks slightly red at just how good Axis smelled. -powerofkings (beta or alpha Noct, whichever. Both are fun.)

Axis flinched -- not his normal reaction to Magpie climbing into his lap. “I, um. Am I? I... haven’t had a heat in awhile,” he admitted.  He’d run out of the last of his carefully-hoarded suppressants, and had been struggling to keep his burgeoning distress from Sonitus and Tredd.

Milk

Got inspired by @weebsinstash posts again.  A/B/O Chocobros. Same pack dynamics as last time. This fic focuses on Noctis. Female reader, mommykink, lactation, breast feeding, NSFW. Never written these kinks before so excuse any clumsiness!

Hints at possessive/controlling behaviour, not sure how obvious they are so warning just in case. No beta reader so ignore all mistakes!

If you weren’t sandwiched between Ignis and Gladio, you were pinned awkwardly between Noctis and Prompto. Often falling asleep alone to wake in the early hours with one or both snuggled up against you. Which was how you found yourself this evening, Noctis with his head on your chest and Prompto awkwardly curled into your side, head resting against your stomach.

Noct shifts, his cheek nuzzling into your breast in a way that has you tensing slightly. It was comforting having them close but you were uncertain about the amount of physical contact between you and the two younger Alphas. Pack dynamics were still new to you, the relationship deepening between you, Ignis and Gladio even more so. Even with Ignis occasionally trying to teach you and Gladio helpfully reprimanding you, without explanation, for things you apparently shouldn’t be doing, it was still a confusing topic. Most of your questions were met with vague explanations or patronising dismissals of ‘they know what’s best’.

Noct moves again, “I can’t sleep” his voice is tired, nuzzling his face against your breast “soft” he mumbles before darting his tongue out to lick tentatively across your clothed nipple.   “Noct!” your tone is sharp, more out of shock than anger but he doesn’t pull away. Nothing had been mentioned or talked about regarding developing your relationship with Noctis and Prompto. The four were often openly affectionate with each other, and the thought that the affection ran a little deeper than purely platonic had crossed your mind more than once. Was this normal for packs? Are you setting yourself up for another reprimand from Gladio or a disappointed talk from Ignis? Your obvious apprehension does nothing to stop Noct from nuzzling against you again.  “S’ ok;” he mumbles sleepily “they don’t mind”. Don’t they? The fact neither Ignis nor Gladio had stirred from their side of the tent made you think he was telling the truth. Normally your every sound, movement or shift in emotion had them honing in on you with intent focus. Maybe this was normal for packs. It did feel good having Noct so close, the attention and the affection, almost soothing. "Noct!" your gasp is a little louder this time as he takes a broad stroke across your nipple before sealing his mouth around it to suck gently. Your cry has Prompto stirring against your side, blue eyes flickering up at you before they drift down to watch Noct suckling against your now hard nipple. “S’not fair,” Prompto half mumbles, half whines against your stomach, still half asleep. “Wanna taste”

“has two” Noct snarks back, fractured sleepy words smothered against your skin as he keeps suckling your nipple though your shirt. At Prompto’s discontented whine you instinctively card your fingers through his hair with a soft purr, trying to sooth him back into sleep. The hitch in your breath as Noct sucks a little harder, has Prompto shifting minutely closer “I can make you feel good too” even in his half asleep state you can hear his sulky tone and you bite back a smile. His hand slipping under your night shirt to brush lightly over your pussy before resting high on your thigh as he seemingly dozes off again.

Wearing panties to bed had become a pointless endeavour. Gladio more often than not tearing them in some way to make wearing them again impossible. The look of disappointment on Ignis face whenever Gladio ruined a pair had started making you feel guilty so you had stopped wearing them all together in the tent. Saving them more for the times you got to spend in hotels or in private with Ignis. The look of reverence on Ignis’ face when he got to see you in intact lingerie had made the awkwardness of sleeping without any easier to bear. And you certainly got no complaints from Gladio about it. Nudity in general was something that was slowly becoming easier to deal with, how comfortable and open about it the boys were didn’t give you, as with most things recently, much of a choice.

The nip of teeth against your nipple draws you attention immediately back to Noctis. “Jus’ me” his words are slurred and a little confused. He’s just as tired as Prompto, it’s easy to tell but he continues to suckle lazily against your breast. He shuffles closer, hand squeezing just a little tighter, and the first spurt of milk surprises you both, your back arching slightly at the sensation. You can feel Noct’s excited hum rumble from his chest as his hand drops to the hem of your shirt. “Please” It's one word, verging on a command more than a plea but you know what he wants and you acquiesce with a gentle nod. It feels right. You’ve never considered yourself particularly maternal but the sudden urge to nurture him is strong.

Noctis tugs your nightshirt up awkwardly over your breast, just enough to give him access to your bare nipple. He immediately wraps his warm mouth around it, licking and suckling on it gently as he starts to rock lazily against your thigh. He’s hard, and a tingle of arousal pulses between your legs as he grinds against you. It wasn’t the burning almost feral desire you felt with Ignis and Gladio, it was a gentle, cosy heat that made you want to be closer to him, to look after him and help him feel good.

“S’good” He groans a little louder as another spurt of milk coats across his tongue, his hand squeezing around your breast in an attempt to coax more milk from you. It wasn’t the first time it had happened, as your body adjusted to the new raging omega hormones lactation had become an occasional nuisance. One Gladio enjoyed immensely. The first time it had happened had been mildly alarming but Ignis had assured you it would cease as your body became accustomed to the hormonal changes.

  Your fingers still combing through Noct’s hair, you look down to watch him. His throat moving as he swallows, eyes closed in contentment as he continues to suckle. The faint press of his teeth and the glide of his tongue have your hips twitching slowly, more out of instinct than any genuine need to cum. Having Prompto resting on your stomach sleeping against your side made it difficult to really move anyway. The contented purr that escapes you has Noct’s hips immediately stuttering against you. He sighs as he cums, quiet little whimpers as he continues to rut lightly against you. “M’sorry, didn’t mean to.” He sounds embarrassed and the urge to comfort him is great. “It’s ok, it’s ok, you did good.” You let your fingers stroke slowly down the nape of his neck, “Good boy” the words slip from your lips in a quiet whisper before you can stop them and despite your tinge of embarrassment Noctis keens at your praise. “mommy” the word is quiet, almost whispered against your breast as his grip tightens in his attempt to snuggle closer. The aftershocks from his lazy orgasm are sending little shivers down his spine, and you slowly stroke your nails down his back in an attempt to sooth him, cooing praise softly into his ear.   After a few minutes Noctis finally releases your nipple and licks the stray trickle of milk that slides down your breast before nuzzling into the side of your neck with a contented huff. He’s scenting you, the behaviour has become second nature to you now and you tilt your head to the side to give him easier access. The awkwardness you expect isn’t there, and as Noct gently pulls your shirt down and lies back down against your chest all you feel is a calming rush of warmth and love. You’re aware Ignis is awake on the other side of Prompto, you can sense the contentment, and what you think is pride, in his scent and it helps relax you further. Noct’s quiet petulant whine against your chest once again draws your attention back to him. He rubs his head into your hand in a quiet demand for pets that has you biting back a quiet laugh. You do as he bids, letting your nails stroke gently across his scalp and down the back of his neck, both of you enjoying the slow, intimate contact. The silence as you started to drift off is warm and soothing, and although it’s still a little uncomfortable with Noct once again asleep on your chest and Prompto having somehow managed to wrap himself around your leg, head now resting on your thigh, the only sound as you drift into sleep is your quiet contented purr.

7 Star Wars Reading Recommendations

Hello there.

Winter up north is often a time of struggling to get out of bed, turning on all the lights to fight the darkness, staying indoors to avoid the cold.

A perfect time to read.

Here, some personal recommendations of mostly longer darker works I found this year with unique styles and takes. Some are not completed yet. But nearly all of them concentrate on emotions, grimmer themes and character dynamics making them imho compelling reads I honestly would have picked up in a bookstore.

p.s. minors be gone!

1. "Five times Nocte took care of the Corries, and one time they returned the favor" by @purgetrooperfox, ao3 tumblr

Nocte is a Medic for the Coruscant Guard. In several chapters Nocte tries to do his best helping his vod through the violent realities of being a clone trooper in the guard. Every chapter concentrates on one character. All a very well done with Nocte being the point of view from which the stories get told. Honestly, it was so good that I thought Nocte is a real canon character. The tags are no joke and this is not a romantic collection of stories. What is guaranteed is a love for all the corries, their care for each other as well as an impeccable writing style.

2. "Written in Ink" by RubyStiff89, ao3

The ongoing series is both a romance between a feisty female journalist named Dot and Tech, as well as a thriller like adventure about politics, investigative journalism and the horrors of war and oppression. It feels like the author took a good look into the history books about Germany 1933 and used that to draw out a compelling plot about how liberty dies. amazing.

also, Tech gets teased by his brothers in the cutest fashion and Crosshair knowing every sex worker on Coruscant had me laughing.

3. "Coriolis Effect" by @uponrightful, tumblr ao3

I feel like i have recommended this to everyone personally i know already but i cannot stress how good this is. Duchess is a weapons director stationed on Kamino. While working there, she has the initial displeasure of meeting his grumpiness in person, Crosshair from tbb himself. But a romance with a dramatic flare would not be a romance if this initial displeasure would change into something very different. And while the pinning and incredibly written inner Monologes of the grumpy sniper occure, Duchess and the Bad Batch need to find out who steals weapons from the GAR.

4. "Tell Me Where Your Soul Lies Now" by @detroitbydark, tumblr ao3

In this ongoing story line Scorch and Sev from delta squat make it to Kirimorut on Mandalore where they live as sons of Walon Vau together with the rest of the Kal Skirata clan. Their life's change with the accidental arrival of Jessa, a runaway slave. All three are incredible well written characters, trying to get used to the domestic mandalore homestead life and each other, while struggling with severe trauma. It is romance but taps into other psychological and sinister corners of literature as well.

Bonus; Parts are written from Walon Vau's perspective and him not knowing how to emotion and affection is a delight.

5. "Calm" by @maybege, tumblr ao3

This romance is between Paz Vizsla and a female teacher. It is written with A/B/O dynamics (look it up if you do not know what this is before reading). The plot concentrates on clan rivalries that need to be worked through in several diplomatic meetings all while Paz and the reader get to know each other in a unique Alpha and Omega dynamic. This soft romance has surprising moments with some really good emotional communication, reflection and a well fitting style.

Includes a lot of smut that is part of the plot and cannot be skipped, not recommended for sex repulsed readers.

6. "By Any Other Name" by @rowansparrow, tumblr

This finished series was so good, that it got its own still ongoing sequel. So reading this will take a while but is absolutely worth it. This romance concentrates on Rose, a clone trooper in the 501st, and Y/N reader as well as Captain Rex. I don't want to spoil too much but the plot has some serious soul crushing losses, believable emotional breakdowns, well placed love scenes and an abundance of violence. All of it fits perfectly into a well worded psychological and complex love story/world of suffering.

(I mean it, LOTS of suffering, check the tags)

7. "Infectious" by @evilmouse18, ao3

*breaths heavily* ok. This is a sex or die one so lot's of smut. But don't be fooled, the dialogues between Thrawn and Arihnda Pryce (yes they actually talk too) are really good and show their complex emotions in a strange and uncomfortable situation. Pryce gets infected by a disease and Thrawn kind of ends up in the position to help her accidentally. But both of them are very different people with very different outlooks on life and emotions, and it's fun to see them work through that like adults all while fucking away a disease.

Smut cannot be skipped in a reasonable way, not recommended for sex repulsed readers.

XX.

If you have recommendations for me or write longer fics with darker themes too, feel free to tag me or send me a link. I am always on the lookout for new works and i might do another recommendation in a few months.

Also, I have read a lot this year. Most of which is not on this list not because its not good but because it's shorter and more accessible. I wanted to give a shoutout to the longer sometimes "stranger" pieces that many readers might feel like they would need to invest a lot more time first before enjoying it.

Light♡

This boy is my player character for my second run-through of pla. But, for the sake of backstory, he's just not a pla protagonist in the traditional sense.

After everything that happened in the main story, Light decided to join the Pearl Clan and give up his position in the Galaxy Team (though he does still do work on the pokedex). He focuses mainly on alpha pokemon, as well as exploring the rifts that open up across Hisui. Two of his most trusted partners (Noct the Umbreon and Sero the Weavile) were caught from these rifts, and he feels responsible for making sure the people of hisui understand these rifts while they're active.

His team:

Toyotomi- Rowlett/Decidueye- Starter

Nuggi- Geodude/Graveler- Wild Shiny

Noct- Umbreon- Caught in the Rift

Zeke- Zorua/Zoroark- Fell into the Ice Cave

Viro- Sneasel/Sneasler- Icelands Catch

Sero- Sneasel/Weavile- Found in a Rift

(Everyone on the team is Male besides Nuggi :3)

Bonus Members (Not Pictured):

Amid- Alpha Paras/Parasect- Stumbled Across

Grizz- Alpha Gliscor- Sniped

Eros- Alpha Gardevoir- Spite Capture

Gotta love pla. So much fun :D

[weebsinstash]

Doing things in this scary new abo universe that accidently seduce/turn on or activate chocobro alpha instincts. Things have so more more meaning behind them now and it's confusing.

Like helping Ignis cook and providing for them, accidently covering yourself in their scent by wearing their hoodies when you're cold, buying extra blankets to make the tent more comfortable (nesting), asking Noct if he'll come for a walk round the safe friendly new town with you as you feel safer with him there, falling asleep in the back of the car and snuggling up closer to Gladio and mumbling about how he smells so good

Yes, exactlyyyy ❤

Giving one of the boys a hug and for some reason you're both compelled to hug longer than usual (cause those alpha/omega pheromones probably produce hella oxytocin). Or, you give one of them a hug, or the reverse, and you both have each other's scents now

Ignis watching you cheerily cook a meal "just because you felt like helping", using all the techniques and knowledge he's taught you over your adventure together, and you're putting so much love into it, positively beaming when they're all eating and excited to hear they all love it (because of course they do, you made it for them)

You jokingly run your hands over Gladio's exposed abs, teasing about how muscular and tough he's getting, and in that same week you catch all the boys exercising like crazy because they all want to be big strong Alphas you look up to for protection

Which speaking of, oh gosh they would be so protective of you in public. No one is just going to randomly guess you're an Omega, but that doesn't change the fact that your presentation occasionally draws attention: a young Alpha strolling up to hit on you, a lost small child clutching at your shirt because they lost their mom in the crowd and you make them feel safe, some Betas chatting you up because you seem like a fun addition to their friend group. Anyone tries to give you trouble or harass you and your own personal Shield is there. Gladio gets a little aggressive from your pheromones sometimes and whenever some young punk thinks they can sweep you off your feet, he's sure to scare them off. He probably gets a little scary considering he's trying to scare away the competition 😳

And Noctis and Prompto, as the youngest members of the group (unless you're under 20 hah) you fuss over them more. Making sure they don't roughhouse too hard, telling them to be careful out on hunts, telling them to put on a jacket when it's cold out. That thing Noctis does where he'll sit on the back of the Regalia when he's riding? Gives me a heart attack. Reader just fussing over him to get down, he'll get hurt, and your scent is so genuinely concerned and anxious, so he feels guilty, but he's happy too because you worry about him

Oh gosh and if you like purring in ABO, they would all probably be smitten whenever you, like, make the transformation and can be able to do it. I can see Reader sitting there, embarrassed and flustered as the boys all coo and fawn over them, reluctantly purring louder because all the attention feels really nice ❤

Reader: ok... ok.... I think it finally stopped

Ignis: oh, dearest?

Reader: yeah? Do you need help with something?

Ignis: (: you're looking very lovely this morning

Reader, now purring like a pick-up truck engine: oh god damn it dude
