breaking news: i’m in my jaddison era. i GET that kate walsh wanted the show to end when it did and i love that they (for the most part) gave everyone reasonable endings. but ugghhh the wasted potential with how they cut jaddison short and squished the timeline of their relationship together.

[augustvandyne]

addison hummed in quiet approval as the four women started their eager worship of her cock, mouths and tongues licking and kissing at the huge shaft together. “sounds like you might need some personal worship time, casey,” addison teased. “i can’t promise you’ll ever get really used to the size of your god, but we can try…” it didn’t take long for the telltale sounds of morning devotions to fill the air—wet slurping and eager sucking, mixed with plenty of moans. addison smirked down at her disciples working together to ensure every thick inch of her oversized, godly cock was properly tended to, the mammoth shaft soon hard and glistening with saliva. with mia happily slurping on her heavy balls, addison had a mouth or tongue almost everywhere she wanted…

“mm, just like that, mia. speaking of holes though, jade, why don’t you show casey what a good, devout disciple uses her throat for?” addison nudged angela back with a smile. “angela, let’s give them a little room. go ahead and eat my ass.” it was often irresistible for addison, getting the same woman who once gave her homework to give her a good rimjob and lick her ass, instead. addison even rested one of her feet up on a nearby chair, ensuring her followers had perfect access to everything between her thighs.

feel free to send me a message or anon if there are people missing (which I know there are)!

[edgecfeden]

addison smiled as the four women crawled after her when summoned, subservient and well-trained. it made it easier that there were so many good examples to follow around the expansive compound addison ran, along with the fact that her cock clearly inspired such devotion in the first place. "of course, jade," addison hummed lightly. she was more than glad flora had recruited jade to join them, especially considering the two sisters made such a good team when worshipping addison's cock together.

she had to smirk a little back at mia, appreciating the generous view of mia's tits that her crawling position granted. having an actual porn star in her little home-grown cult was the gift that kept on giving. mia had so much experience, addison's younger disciples were always learning something from her when it came to pleasing their god. not just younger disciples, even. addison made sure casey, as one of her newer recruits, had plenty of chances to pick up a thing or two from seeing mia in action. she hadn't tried to break up casey's marriage, per se; it really wasn't her fault that an hour spent with her cock had apparently reset the woman's goals in life. she didn't have any regrets about it either, though.

"mhm, angela gets it," addison said, glancing at the older woman with a tug at her lips. it had been a while since she'd had to call her miss fox, but the memories of addison having angela as a teacher were still there, making every time she had angela slurp down her cock all the better. "let's get you lined up for first devotions…" she got the four women on their knees in pairs, facing each other—angela and mia closest to her, left and right, then casey and jade. "good, now give me your tongues," addison purred. she smiled at the easy obedience they showed, leaning in together to create a cradle of four pink, eager tongues. addison laid the heavy meat of her cock right into them, letting the women taste their massive god together. even with four of them, there was plenty of addison's cock for each, though they'd know they weren't limited to just her thick shaft. it was no accident she'd placed mia with such easy access to her balls hanging heavy behind her cock. "just like that. these are hungry mouths this morning, aren't they? go ahead, show me how much…"

when jade had heard that flora had finally found a deity to devote herself to, she'd certainly been curious to meet it for herself. especially when she learned that it was a cock that she'd devoted herself to. and now the vampire was just as devoted to addison's cock as her younger sister was. certainly the best cult she'd been a part of... "thank you for choosing us this morning. it's always an honour to get to worship our god..." jade mumbled as she crawled alongside the others after addison.

mia certainly had plenty of experience with cocks, but none of them had quite been able to convince her to devote herself to them quite like addison's had. the first time she'd had addison's cock, she'd known she couldn't settle for any others, so now the recently retired porn star just lived out her days worshipping addison's cock, and enjoying the company of her other followers, "it's always a good day for us when our god's tastes lean more into older women..." she hummed as she followed addison. the four of them had grown particularly close, mostly thanks to how they were all older than most of addison's other followers (discounting flora, but that witch certainly didn't act her age). it wasn't uncommon for the four of them to spend time together when they weren't worshipping their god.

casey was certainly the least confident of the four of them when it came to pleasing their god, explaining her hesitance at being chosen today. she was far less experienced than the others. before addison, she'd only had sex with her ex-husband, who had been far smaller. one fateful meeting with addison had led to casey agreeing to sign the divorce papers her husband had given her beforehand, and casey had been chasing the pleasure that addison's cock gave her ever since. she supposed joining a cult was probably not a good way to handle a divorce, but she didn't care. "i'm always counting my blessings when our god chooses me..."

angela had met addison by being her teacher, of course. addison hadn't been her first student that she'd hooked up with, but that experience had been particularly mindblowing. nobody had ever been able to satisfy her properly after that experience, so, fast-forward a few years, when she heard about this little cult forming, she hadn't been able to stop herself from joining the others. "you ladies act like it's unusual for our god to want us. we may be older than the others, but our bodies are just as hot...and our holes just as eager to serve..."

A-lady name poll

In the interest of identifying the most likely names for a hypothetical 2060s A-lady who would have come after Angela, I collected the current most popular girl names that start with A* and randomized their order. So, for fun, not necessarily headcanon, with a reminder that a lot of these may be seen as dated, "middle-aged" names in the near future:

*From lists of most-used baby names from 2021-2024, excluding alternate spellings and names that are already used by canon or fanon doubles and names that are very similar to those already used.

Here's the poll for J

Mid-Year Book Freakout

@doughtah said anyone can tag in so i'm tagging in

1.Best Book so far in 2024: The Intersectional Environmentalist: how to dismantle systems of oppression to protect people + planet by Leah Thomas. Thomas covers the lack of focus and consideration on environmental racism in discusses about climate change and sustainability by environmentalists from the Global North. There are loads of resources in the back of the book for future reading and education.

2.Best Sequel you've read so far in 2024: I haven't read any sequels but I have read the first book of 2 different series.

3.New Release you haven't read yet, but want to: Bury Your Gays by Dr. Chuck Tingle

4.Anticipated Release for the second half of the year: Don't have one. I only notice the year books are being released and not the actual months and days.

5.Biggest Disappointment: Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt. The writing wasn't disappointing, but that ending? I mean I guess lol.

6.Biggest Surprise: The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker and it was only surprising because the movie adaptation really an incredible job actually adapting the story. I thought things would be more noticeably different or have different events but it's pretty 1:1 with minimal changes.

7.Favorite New Author: No new favorites.

8.Newest Fictional Crush: None.

9.Newest Favorite Character: Maia from The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. The best boy, the sweetest boy just doing his best.

10.Book that made you cry: None but reading Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Davis was an emotional experience.

11.Book that made you happy: ANNIHILATION BY JEFF VANDERMEER MY BELOVED

12.Most Beautiful Book you've bought/acquired this year: If They Come for Us by Fatimah Asghar. No one does book covers like poetry collections do book covers.

13.Book you need to read by the end of the year: I need to finish A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys and Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer

If you see this post on your dash, this is me encouraging you to do the tag.

11 - Reunions and the Pentagon

Part 12

Battle of Heart and Mind

Tag list - ask to be added (in my ask box please) @aintinacage @hiraethrhapsody @mostlymarvelgirl @importantgalaxyrunaway

9 months ago - Arlington, Virginia

Charles believed that she wanted to see me. It has been nine years since Erik got himself placed into the pentagon. I had been staying with the telepath since that day but my feelings were too strong in telling me I needed to see Erik again. Standing on the front porch I slumped my shoulders, raising my hand and knocking on the door. “Can I help you?”

“Uh yes. Can you tell me if would be Angela Aspen formally Shaw?” I asked nervously, trying to keep my eyes focused on hers.

The blonde woman stands slightly behind her front door looking me up and down letting some silence fall between us. “Yes I am. Can I ask what this is about?”

“I’m…I’m your daughter. My father went by the name Sebastian Shaw.” Twiddling my thumbs together I blurted it out waiting for her to kick me off her porch and say she never wished to see me again like my father told me she would.

My mother stood still for a moment before grabbing me by the front of my shirt, yanking me inside her house. She shut the door, locking it quickly behind her where she was clearly in a panic. “I thought you were dead, Addison.”

“Dead, why would you think that?” I questioned her more confused now than I was when I first came here. I couldn’t tell who was right Charles or my father who was now dead.

She clasped her hands over her mouth. “Oh honey you don’t know the truth. Of course that psycho wouldn’t tell you the truth. I…I’m sorry about this but he kidnapped you when I was sleeping one night. He broke into my house after getting a divorce saying that you had to be a mutant like him. Uh…he said that the mutant gene gets carried over by the father. I searched for you but he changed his name so many times I lost the trail.”

“So that’s why he said that you hated me. That you hated mutant’s and never ever wanted to see me. But if what you’re telling the truth then I can’t believe he lied to me my whole life up into he was killed.” Running my fingers through my hair I throw my head back pacing in front of her,

My mother sniffed through tears where she didn’t wait stepping forward. She paused holding her arms out and opened away from her sides. “Can we hug or is that too soon for you?” She asked for my permission.

“Hell no, it’s okay.” I felt tears falling down my face right as we embraced each other in a tight hug, she wrapped her arms around me sobbing into my shoulder and we remained that way for quite some time.

I clung onto her burying my face in her shoulder blade until my gaze shifted to the kitchen and saw her work bag sitting there. I saw a security badge hanging from it and it gave me an idea. “Uh mom, I’m sorry to bring this up since we’ve just met. But I need your help with seeing someone.”

“Who do you need to see, honey?” She barely broke the hug brushing hair that had fallen in front of my eyes. “We may not know each other very well yet. But you can tell me what you need.”

Dropping my gaze to the wooden floor. “What do you feel towards mutants…towards me since I am one of them too.”

She squeezed my hands in hers with a half smile on her and no sign of hatred in her eyes. “I don’t hate them. I am actually curious about what you all can do. But unlike your father who wanted nothing to do with me after I said I wouldn’t stand by his side and watch him kill the humans who we’re just like me.”

“So what would you say if I wanted to see a mutant who was being held inside…oh I don’t know the Pentagon?” I twirled my hair in between my fingers nodding to her classified pentagon badge.

My mother paused sucking in a breath thinking about what that would mean. The world didn’t know how big the mutant population was at the moment. Most of the high profile people hated them or they wished to study the abilities they had. “My bosses wouldn’t like me after this. I can’t help free him if that’s what you’re after…”

“I understand. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”

She clicked her tongue putting a hand to the side of my face so I’d look her in the eye. “But I can get you clearance to see whoever it is. At least for a few hours since it will be my shift tonight.”

“Erik, Erik Lehnsherr is his name.” I throw my arms around her again hugging her tightly and she embraces me back, both of us knowing that things could go horribly wrong. “Thank you, mom.”

She squeezed me gently to grab her work clothes so we could go. “You’re welcome, Addi. Let me grab my stuff then we can go.” The drive there was quiet and she went through the normal security checkpoints she had to go through. Leading me down the hallway I saw a sign that read no metal beyond this point. I didn’t dare tell my mother about the metal coin I still wore around my neck.

“So how long will we have exactly?” I questioned her after she swiped her key card over the scanner unlocking the security door in front of us.

Angela shrugged her shoulders. “My shift ends in an hour. But I expect to hear the whole story of you two at some point once this is over.”

“Don’t worry, I'll tell you everything.” Stepping through the doorway it quickly shut behind me where I just saw a long hallway in front of me. Walking down the hallway the other door slides open revealing to me a pentagon. Swiping my mothers key card on the pad in front of me, a staircase down into the room descended down where I bolted down them quickly without a thought, halting in my tracks seeing him laying on a coat on the ground. “Erik?”

He slowly sat upright confused plastered across his features. “Addison, what the hell are you doing here? How the hell are you here - ugh!” He got to his feet slowly walking straight to me

I instantly started crying when I flung his arms around his neck. “I don’t want to do this again. I…we already spent years without each other.”

“How are you here right now…ohhh.” He slowly wrapped his arms around the girl he believed he wouldn't see again. So he took the advantage he had burying his face into my hair.

Moving my hands to his shoulders I buried my face into his gray shirt and matching pants. He let me cry until his shirt was stained with tears. "I don’t want you locked up in here, Addi. You should be able to live a life without me. Go find your mother or Charles. Don’t follow down my dark path that got me here.”

“I don't care, Erik. I had to see you. I…I've missed you too much and we don't have much time to break you out.” Reaching inside my shirt he saw the metal coin that I had managed to sneak in. “I met my mother today and she agreed to help me. Now her shift ends in an hour so we have to use her key card now.”

“Addison, wait a second. We can’t…you can't have her help me escape. I have to stay here.” He moved one of his hands through my loose hair while he felt my hands holding onto his forearms tightly with my fingernails.

I blinked a few times, confused by his response. “If you loved me you'd run with me.”

I wasn’t sure what came over either of us but it didn't matter while we only focused on removing our clothes as quickly as possible. He tugged my flesh against his chest making me see that he was concerned over what we were thinking of doing. “You do realize we could get caught having sex in here.” Resting my hands on his chest, our eyes met when he rested his forehead against mine.

“It doesn’t matter, Erik. I love you, that's all that matters to me.” I declared to him running my fingers through the hair on the back of his neck.

He smashed his lips onto mine pushing me down onto the cot he had as a bed. He broke the kiss where I held his face in my hands tracing his cheek with him thrusting into me quickly. “Addi!”

“Erik…” He moaned when I pulled his head downward burying my face in his neck nuzzling my nose and kissing into his skin.

His breathing became heavy just like mine where we both laid underneath the blanket. Laying my head on his chest during the same time his fingers threaded through my messy hair. “Don't think for a moment that I don't love you, Addi.”

“You do?” I shot my head up at his words.

Erik nodded his head slowly, yes fighting that it was getting close to time by now. “You need to leave before you and your mother are arrested. Even though we'll both hate it, it's the right thing to do.”

“I'll get you out of here, Erik. Someday, somehow, it will happen. I promise you that.” I vowed to him where we scrambled to get our clothes back on and he tugged me into his embrace again. Wrapping my arms around his neck I kissed him slowly separating myself from him and leaving him there.

The boy's and I had insisted the help of a young guy named Peter who had super speed to help us break Erik out of the Pentagon. Walking in to the elevator Charles and Logan I knew our part of the plan. Peter had the most important part freeing Erik. Hank had to mess with the building cameras. Then the rest of us had to get the staff away from the elevator that Peter would come down in. All the while making none of us getting arrested. All the alarms were going off and the sprinkler system had turned on. Charles stepped forward to a security officer with me and Logan following in toe. “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls this is a code red situation. We are evacuating the entire floor so that we... my uh associate and I can uh secure the prisoner.”

The officer didn't buy it. “Who are you?”

“We are special operations CB, FE, CIE. Look, perhaps you didn't hear me at first but it's imperative that, you understand we're in complete lock-down situation. We have to get to the 3rd floor.” Charles started again until Logan came forward, knocking the guy out with a metal tray.

He dropped it looking at the former telepath. “Oh I'm sorry were you finished.”

“Oh. Come to momma.” I turned my head seeing a tray of strawberry pie they had left down here. Picking up a fork I began eating the pie.

“Addison!” Charles knocked looking over his shoulder as he headed to the elevator door.

Shrugging my shoulders with a bite full of pie in my mouth I didn't see a problem. “What the baby's hungry, Xavier.”

“Sorry, I'm just not very good with violence.” He slumped his shoulders focusing back on what Logan had done minutes ago. He hit the open button and he turned his head coming face to face with Peter and his former friend.

“Charles.” Charles cut him off, raising his hand and punching him square in the face. He winced holding his hand seeing Erik laying on the floor holding where he punched him. “Good to see you, too old friend... and walking.”

Charles glared down at him, seeing him get up from the floor. “No thanks to you.”

“Erik.” I breathed out, dropping the pie onto the ground and the plate shattered into pieces. Picking up my feet I bolted around Charles throwing my arms around Erik's neck.

He stumbled back against the wall wrapping his arms around my waist holding me close. “Addison!” He buried his head into my hair and I closed my eyes enjoying the moment until the baby kicked.

“Oh…I had a better plan in my head of how to tell you.” I drew back holding a hand over my stomach lifting my head upwards seeing Erik's gaze focused on my belly.

He moved one hand forward, touching it slowly. “It’s mine, you're pregnant.”

“Yes.” I replied.

He chuckled with a light smile on his face. “You just couldn't stay away, Addi.”

“I wanted to see you. But it's for a different reason. I'll explain everything later.” I take his hands in mine.

Erik glanced over my shoulder at Charles. “You're the last person in the world I expected to see today.”

“Believe me. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to.” Charles stepped forward where Erik moved in front of me and the two former friends looked close to getting into a fight. “If we get you out of here we do it my way, no killing.”

“No helmet.” Erik pointed to his head with his freehand. “I couldn't disobey you even if I wanted.”

Charles growled in his face. “I'm never getting inside of that head again. I need your word, Erik.”

Erik, Charles, Logan, Peter and I exited the elevator seeing multiple police officers and they aimed glass guns at us. Erik instructed Charles to use his power but he couldn’t. I closed my eyes trying to take Erik's power but the room froze and I saw Peter move around the room switching bullets and things around. When he came back over all the officers ended up on the ground in some way. Logan pated the kids back. “Good job, kid.”

My phone started ringing when I put it to my ear hearing my mothers voice. “Addison, I'm at work and they're saying the mutant was released. Did you know about this?”

“Shit mom, I need you to meet me on the third floor of the parking garage. You need to leave work early and come with me.” I responded to her hoping she didn't ask too many questions.

Peter, Logan and Charles had left the room. Hank was getting the car ready so it just left me and Erik. “Uh okay. I'll be there as quickly as I can.”

Erik and I left after the group where I waited outside the car with Erik peeking his head out of the window. “Addison, Charles says we need to go.”

“Just one second….there she is.” I saw the elevator door opened and my mother quickly came across the floor confused at what was happening. She saw Erik standing by me but I didn't waste another second grabbing her hand and dragged her inside the backseat with me. “I'll explain on the plane. I just didn't want them to arrest you if they think you had anything to do with this.”

Logan was in the front of the van with Hank and Charles. Leaving Erik in the backseat with us. He shifted around a little, sending me a confused expression. “So who were we waiting for exactly, Addison?”

“Oh right, sorry. Erik, she's my mother.” I pointed to her and mother focused her attention on Erik. The pair just stared silently and I felt nervous hoping the plane ride wouldn't be awkward.
