#AwC au

[asterssunzephyr]

Oo, that new AU of yours

What was the reason Shelby was in the town in the first place? What was the reason behind her having to leave? I'm curious ^^

She was in town to begin with to try and start anew, she doesnt talk to her parents(hasnt in years). Her parents own an antique shop but she wanted something more, something new

Her parents werent happy about it.

She learned a lot with this small town and small families that just needed to realize that theyre all they have; She goes back to see them, to talk to them, and to rekindle the relationship.

asile!AU: Rosie, governoress of cannibal town

background

° was born in 7849 AWC (1419 AD)

° her mother is Lilith, but Lilith had many daughters (lilim, female demons from Jewish mythology), so this fact gives little to no advantage socially

° almost from earliest days was raised by another woman (older sister) and called her "mother"

° saw a lot of historical events, Irish famine was the most impressive

° when Rosie was younger, she from time to time seduced mortal men and ate them in the process

° doesn't associate sex with love, for Rosie it's only nothing but hunger, blood and flesh

° over time abandoned such a method and began to lure mortal victims to (their last) lunch

° has gained fame among hellborns as a cannibal, technically she's a human

° cannibal town is a mixed settlement of local demons and some sinners, and it became mixed under Rosie's rule

° she still sees mortals as food, but treats them well

° when the sinner begins to lose mind, Rosie gives them to exorcists, and then cannibals with predator demons have a feast

trivia

° Rosie's true name is Raizel (little rose)

° smokes a mouthpiece

° asexual(ly heterosexual)

° prefers high-necked dresses

° skulls on hat belong to her tamed ravens

° unlike many hellborns, Rosie unironically curious about the mortal world

° Zestiel has known her for three and a half centuries and still thinks that she's a dumbass

° from time to time Rosie bets with Zestiel on how long another overlord will rule

° he still disapproves her frielationship with Alastor

Hello there! It is my honor to close The Great Escape. It has been such a fun read thanks to @captain-of-the-gwynriel-ship (ch. 1) and @aldbooks (ch. 2). Both of you are brilliant writers and to say taking on this AU was intimidating would be an understatement, but I hope I did it justice in some ways.

Another thank you of course to our moderator, @azrielshadowssing. This has been such a fun project to ease me into collabrative writing and I guarantee if there are more projects like this in the future I will be thrilled to participate again.

All that said, happy reading!

Part I // Part 2 // Full Ao3 // AWC Masterlist

Gwyn woke to find Beron being detained, the rest of his men unconscious. At least she hoped they were only unconscious. She knew her team knew how to clean up a job, but it was still risky when unplanned murders came into the picture. A pale hand was reaching down for her, quickly knocked away by one more familiar. Eris scoffed as Azriel scooped her into his arms, carefully arranging her whilst checking her for injuries before standing as gently as he could manage.

“Some help I was,” she groaned.

“Hush,”Az murmured. “You did your part. We’ll talk about the rest when we’re back with the group. “Rest, Gwyn.”

“Take her home,” Eris said gruffly. “It’s done. Get some rest, Berdara.”

The set of his jaw said enough. Part of this mess was Eris’ fault. Had he been compromised as a client? What little help he’d tried to provide her didn’t come off as someone who stabbed them in the back. Actually, she didn’t think Azriel would have left Eris breathing if he had played double agent against the company.

“I’m sorry,” Gwyn said when they were alone. “I was watching for a drugged drink, not a needle and—’

“Gwyn, this isn’t on you, sweetheart. Just wait until we’re with Rhys and Cass. We’ll get everything sorted out.”

“Everything?”

That question hung between them on the drive back to Night Corp. Everything about the assignment tonight? A debriefing after a messy fallout. Or everything to say about the last year as coworkers? Partners? She didn’t dare ask if he meant to tell their friends the whole truth tonight.

She noticed Azriel’s hand remained steady at her knee through the drive, his fingers resting casually and never straying from her kneecap to skim her thighs as they might usually. Perhaps he was too scared to touch her after Beron had. And she was still in that horrid dress, now dirty and torn, looking even less modest, somehow. 

She let out a ragged sigh, cursing the tears pressing her eyes and worsening her headache. She hated being a stress crier.

“Sweetheart…”

“Please, Az, just keep driving.”

She would compose herself, report to Rhys, and then go home and break. Just another hour or two and it would be over. Pulling up in front of Night Corp, the both got out of the car, Az rushing around the front when he saw her sway. “Come here, baby.” He wrapped his coat around her, watching her thread her arms through the long sleeves. It dwarfed her, but it covered the dress. Not to mention his scent had always given her comfort. “Can you walk inside?”

She was half-tempted to claim she couldn’t, just to see if he would really carry her up the few steps and into the building. But it was better to put on a strong face, regardless of how close she felt to crumpling from that drug. And she was getting steadier little by little. Movement would help, she knew. “I’ll be fine, Az. Let’s get this over with.”

She wasn’t stupid enough to try the steps in heels, so with those in hand, she entered the building barefoot, their height difference all the more obvious as Az kept beside her with a hand on her elbow in subtle support. “If you start to feel—”

“Thank the Mother, you’re back.” Cassian instantly wrapped her in a bear hug, lifting her a few inches off of the ground. “Rhys said you lost contact on the assignment and things went sideways. Here, sit down.”

“Everything was going fine at first. At least we thought Beron was none the wiser,” Azriel said. “It turns out Eris didn’t shake a tail yesterday when he came to discuss the final steps to all of this. Whether you were seen entering or leaving Night Corp, or if Beron was just paranoid about his newest employee is a mystery, but it was Eris’ exposure that triggered everything tonight.”

“This was sloppy.” With her gaze cast towards the floor, Gwyn hadn’t noticed Rhys come into the room. “We’ve cleaned up worse though. I trust my team there. I want the official write up by tomorrow afternoon. Tonight we’ll—” His eyes fell on hers and his frustration softened. “Get Gwyn home, Az. We’ll finish this when you get back.”

“Actually, she’ll be staying with me tonight.” Her body locked. “And going forward.”

Rhys chuckled. “About time you two fessed up. Go home. Rest. I want that report by five, Az.”

“I hear you.”

~~~~~

“Bath,” Az ordered, herding Gwyn towards the tub.

“That might just put me to sleep.”

“Good. Bath. I’ll run one for you.”

“With bubbles?” 

Az chuckled, rolling his sleeves back to start running the water. “Get undressed, Priestess.”

Despite her exhaustion, she shuddered at his tone, prying herself away from the bathroom door to throw her clothes in the bedroom hamper before taking a long drink from the waterbottle she had left on the nightstand that morning. “I’m burning that dress tomorrow,” she groaned, rolling her aching shoulders and unbinding her hair to help ease her headache as she made her way back to the gurgling tub. “Quite possibly every other outfit he touched for that matter.”

“Unfortunately, that would make for a rather expensive wardrobe replacement after so long undercover.”

She grimaced at that. The dress, she would burn. The rest of her clothes could be put through the wash again. Not that the paycheck she received wouldn’t cover a few new outfits. Whatever you had to say for their line of work, it certainly paid the bills. And yet for all the money they earned, the bathtub was only big enough for one. What a disappointment.

She sank down so she was submerged to her neck, her loose hair floating through the suds behind her. “We should both move,” she told him jokingly. “Find another apartment with a big enough bathtub for you to hold me every night and unwind.”

“I hold you in bed,” he murmured, starting to work the muscles at the top of her shoulders, his knuckles rolling against her neck. “And I tend to you here, even if the tub’s too small to share. Yet you still feel so neglected?”

“Not neglected.”

He hummed, silently lathering his hands in shampoo and tending to her hair, his trimmed nails just long enough to scratch against her scalp. There were moments in her past that had made her fear contact. She thought this might be the part she missed most. Friends and lovers brushing or styling her hair. She and her sister would spend hours upon hours brushing and braiding hair and trading secrets.

She was glad to have that intimacy with Az, even if it was a very different dynamic. She was glad he was the one who had brought her back to herself, along with Emerie and Nesta and the others. With Az, even after the stress of the evening, she didn’t break.

Her eyes fluttered open when his hands dropped from her hair and fell beneath the water to rinse the shampoo away. When they came back up it was only to tease her, his fingertips tracing over her nipples and stirring heat within here. “Needy, then?”

Caught between a drowsy bliss and the edge of desire, it took a moment for her to backtrack and connect what he was referencing. The tub. It only fits one person. Very problematic. “Yes,” she admitted, putting what little focus remained into leveling her breathing as one hand drifted south, the other steady in its teasing at her breast.

She heard him tut above here. “Gwyneth. You don’t hide those lovely sounds from me, angel. I taught you better than that.” She whimpered as his hands slid away to rinse the soap from her hair and apply her conditioner. “Patience, angel. Incomparable pleasure comes to those who wait.”

She’d spent enough time over the past year being edged by his wicked fingers and toys to know that much was true. But it was still frustrating. She slouched against the tub. “I’m glad Rhys and Cassian were supportive of us. I didn’t realize we were so obvious.”

He chuckled behind her, kissing just beneath her ear. “We’ll say it’s my fault. Cauldron knows I can’t keep my eyes off of you. And the rest of the team will be just as supportive,” he promised, effortlessly soothing the last of the night’s worries. “Regardless of the fact I’m your supervisor, the way things are run with our family it isn’t so different from Nesta and Cass. It’s better to have this in the open than complicating another future assignment, isn’t it?”

She nodded, losing herself in the smooth glide of his hands as he slowly worked her over from head to toe, every sweep of his hand lighting another little fire inside of her, despite the thin washrag between her skin and his. The bastard knew exactly what he was doing, especially as he ended her luxurious bath with his hand between her thigh, letting the rag float away as he finally pushed a finger into her soaked core. When she was just to the point of begging, he pulled his hand away once more, snapping open a fresh towel and drying every inch of her before combing through her hair.

“Az.”

“I know, angel.” He kissed her forehead. “On the bed.”

This wasn’t a night to play, though she certainly enjoyed when they did. This was a night to savor and explore, remapping what was so familiar and altogether new. A passage of time they’d face together for the rest of their days. And as Azriel’s body slid over hers, Gwyn knew she had finally found forever.

~~~~~

Now, with Gwyn and Azriel's story closed, shall we open another?

Feysand sneak peek and banner below. I hope to post the whole thing on Ao3 in Oct. for captain-of-the-gwynriel-ship's birthday.

Summary: Don't get outsiders tangled in the business. Rhys thought it was a simple enough rule for his people to follow. However, when Nesta calls to ask him to bring her little sister into the fold, the rules begin to change.

Because Feyre is on the edge of leaving her fiance, a man Rhys has had his eyes on for years, waiting to find a way to bring down from the inside. This shot at infiltration could be the key to avenging his mother and sister. He'd be damned if he didn't take it.

He never counted on falling in love along the way. Now he could only pray he wouldn't lose her playing this game.

~~~~~

“Nesta, family doesn’t get tangled with work. You know this.” 

Nesta Archeron was the last person he thought he needed to lecture on this matter. She was a strong asset to Night Corp and respected the secrecy required to run such an organization as theirs. Beneath the optics of a multimillion dollar marketing company was another line of business entirely. Every company had dirty laundry of one kind or another. His—espionage and assassination for hire. Discrete clientele who pay well and expect a job done quickly and quietly.

“Rhys, we’re just getting in touch again and she said—”

“I said no, Nesta. From what I’ve gathered this sister of yours is too intuitive for her own good and we don’t need outsiders poking around, no matter how loyal you think she’ll be to you when you reconnect.”

“Rhys, she’s dating Tamlin Greene.”

He froze in the middle of the sidewalk, instantly jostled by the busy crowd moving around him. “What?”

Rhys would tell you over and over the only reason he picked up the company his father and uncle left was out of some familial duty. But the honest truth was that he was in the revenge business. Years ago his mother and sister had been brutally murdered thanks to Tamlin handing their location to his own father. The Greene family had their own unfortunate accident a few days later, but Tamlin was left standing, marked as an enemy for the rest of his days. 

So many times since, Rhys had been just shy of a way in to finish the job. Considering how close to death Tamlin had come, the man lived his life with paranoia as a companion. There was no sneaking a team member in as a company employee or passerby in Tamlin’s life because he didn’t hire or contact those he didn’t explicitly trust. It seemed the only wild card in the man’s life was Feyre Archeron.

“She’s dating Greene,” Nesta repeated. “Things aren’t going well and she’s on the edge of leaving him. The only reason she’s still with him is because he’s putting her through art school.” Nesta huffed on the other end of the line. “Look, I know you’ve been having trouble getting a way into his company with our team members. But what if you could get into his house?”

He resumed his walk home, already calculating all of the ways this could fall apart. Nesta’s sister wasn’t trained like the team was. She’d be a hindrance. “Putting your baby sister in the path of a criminal, Nesta? I knew you were ruthless, but this is something else.” 

“She’s already in his path. And she’s always had strong survival instincts. I’ll ask Cass to train her to truly defend herself in case her cover is blown or the bastard loses control for any other reason. Please, Rhys. She needs to be pushed over that fence and that piece of shit needs to be gone for good. Help me set this up.”

Nesta never asked favors. And certainly not so nicely. He grimaced, already hating the words coming out of his mouth. “Give her the address and a time to come in. I’m not saying yes until we have a clear picture on how ready she is to walk out and how oblivious Greene is to her shifting feelings.”

“I wouldn’t put her in a situation that she couldn’t handle, Rhys.” There was a long pause, then, “I’ve done enough to hurt her the past twenty years. That’s done now.”

He nodded. “Alright, Archeron. Get it arranged and give the team a time to expect her.”

Rioting Never Sounded So Good

Pairing: Hardin Scott x reader (AU Divergent)

Request: The college/school (whatever) is divided into factions (like in divergent!) and Hardin is of a higher faction but they fall in love however it is forbidden and it’s just basically them against the world sort of vibe! They are a secret at first but then they flip the switch and rise up against authority! -☁️Anonymous

Tagging: @bitchwhytho @music-of-melody @shadowhuntyi @avada-kedavra-bitch-187 @justyouraveragedorkygirl

Fuck, damn it, shit. Every curse word goes through your head as you watch the Officials walk towards you. They can't know. You and Hardin have kept this a secret like your lives depended on it, and for you, it did. They'd never touch a man like Hardin, but you? Your faction? You were the expendable ones, and now they're walking straight toward you. And then they walk right past you.

"I don't think I've ever seen one in real life." You look over at Molly, exhaling a breath you hadn't been aware you were holding in.

"An Official?" You haven't seen one either - at least not in your faction.

"Yeah. I thought they stayed with the higher factions." She grabs a few books from her locker, but you're too busy staring at the backs of the two men now walking away from you to notice the bell ringing.

"Y/N, we gotta go." What you don't tell Molly is that they do. Officials never leave the city, and now they're here. Their presence keeps you distracted all through school and as you walk home. You hardly notice that your door is unlocked until you see him standing in the middle of your tiny apartment.

"What are you doing here?" you scold, quickly closing the door behind you. Your parents could get home at any minute, and they can't see Hardin here.

"I needed to know you were alright. I heard a rumor that Officials were at your school." He wraps his arms around you, holding you tightly as if they might just show up and take you away now. You'd be lying if you said the thought hadn't crossed your own mind. Surely, they know if they're here.

"They walked right past me. As if I were air." Your head is resting on his shoulder, giving you a perfect view of the street from your window. People are starting to fill the streets - all on their way home from work.

"That's a good thing, you know." He takes a step back to inspect you properly. Any other day it would've made your cheeks burn, but today you feel utterly numb. How could you be so stupid to think that it would work between the two of you?

"I know, Hardin. But I can't live a life where I'm constantly worried about getting caught. If someone found out about us, it would be my life on the line. You'd go back to your fancy parties." You can't help the bitterness from seeping into your voice. It's not Hardin's fault that he was born into a better faction than you. He didn't choose his life any more than you chose yours. But you still hate that factions keep you from being with him.

"Then don't." He's not making sense. Maybe he hit his head this morning because he definitely can't be serious. You're two people. You can't go against the authorities.

"Hardin, this isn't funny." He takes your hands in his and leans down a little so that you and he are at eye level.

"I'm not trying to be funny. I'm being very serious. I've heard rumors of a group outside of town working against the authorities. We could join them." For a brief second, you allow yourself to imagine what life could be if you and Hardin were free from the rules of society, and it is glorious.

"You'd give up the fancy parties, the—"

"I'd give up everything if it meant having a life with you."

Five months later

He intertwines his fingers with yours, and you feel your insides twist. This is it. The first few people are already looking with shock painted on their faces.

"Hardin," you warn, spotting a guard across the street.

"I see him." It feels great walking hand in hand down the street like a normal couple, but you know what the consequences will be. A few people stop to look at you with a tiny smile before carrying on with their day. It's a small step for you and Hardin, but it'll mean so much more for the world. You can't help the smile on your face when you think about destroying the factions. Being able to love whoever you want, everyone getting a fair chance at life.

"They're moving," you note quietly, the voice in your ear giving your route directions.

"Turn," you say, never taking your eyes off the guards. The two of you turn down the street on the right, and the guards follow. A van is waiting a little further down. Two men jump out and grab the guards without even alerting the public. A tiny needle in the neck is enough to knock them out.

"Get back to base. We'll take care of these." Marcus offers a quick smile before closing the door to the van, hiding the unconscious guards. It's you and Hardin's first step towards a revolution, and you just can't deny the thrill of actually helping make the world a better place.

"Care to walk back?" Hardin asks, holding onto your hand.

"Absolutely."

Summary: You never knew where you belonged. Actually you wanted to go away from Korea when you finished school. But suddenly you were back in college in Seoul and a certain person came and changed your whole life.

Info: This is a little test series for me, because it will be a bit of an interactive story. I am currently working on a story that will be completely interactive, but before I put all my work inside this, I want to test it with these story here. The story will have several chapters and from time to time you have to decide what to do. This can have little to no effect, or change the complete end. Please give me some feedback how you liked it and if I should do something bigger (like the story I actually planned).

Assemble with Care AU where Shelby is new in town and Katherine is a struggling café owner who's older brother(Scar) comes to town just a few days before the festival and Shelby spends most of the time helping the pretty lady AND the mayor(Scott) all the time

Shelby ends up finding a way to bring the siblings back together as well as the Mayor & his cousins(Rosetwins)

then she goes on a date with Katherine while Scar runs the café; Kat gets a call from Scar while on the date and hes panicking because the MAYOR IS HERE KAT WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO.

Unfortunately Shelby has to leave in a few days because she isnt staying in town long and Kat and Scar are trying to run the café and Shelby has one last thing to do: fix a record player.

Scar's last thing to Shelby before she left bc her last day is literally the next day, he tells her that hes gonna stay with his sister to make up lost time due to being away from Kat for so long

Scott requests one thing on the day OF her leaving; to repair a music box he wants to give to the much younger twins because he had fun at the festival with them.

hiiii there's a reason why Vega/Vaggie is in hell in this au? I assume it's not the same of the main show!

hiii of course not the same 💛 Vega's situation was different (yep I drew her as an exorcist)

• Vega was an exorcist for 300+ years, but mostly kept apart from sisters in arms due to a hidden mistrust: in mortal lifetime Vega was brought to trial due to suspicion of heresy, also her social status wasn't high enough (orphan young woman, concubine of a married nobleman)

• she had unresolved grievances against some mortals and that's why she used new status for own gain, releasing some sinners in exchange for information, and meticulously seeking out those connected with the Church, the Inquisition and violence against women (and some dangerous sinners, ofc)

• several times she'd been told to stop, but Vega still went back to old ways; the episode when she very brutally killed priest (his sins were connected with Magdalene shelter) was a final straw

• since exorcists shouldn't be driven by only personal feelings, Vega was exiled; mortal women with minor sins are often become exorcists, they just must be sure of their faith and ideals

• since Vega is Blessed, she's immune to decay

• her sin is fornication, so she was sent to one of the upper circles (2nd) where lived for several years, and then decided to help Charlie with sanctuary: it should be a quiet place, and Vega needed this

trivia: AWC — after world creation, Blessed = those who drunk ichor
