WOLF BOY
when ao3 goes down, we write tumblr fic (edited version now on ao3 HERE lol)
i used the 15/11/24 @sterekdrabbles challenge for this. the prompt words were GREEN, REACH and SCATTER. i'm also tagging @sterekdrabblesgonelong as it's around 1K words and therefore definitely a drabble gone long lol.
it's a spark!stiles slash derek whump sort of affair, just so you know what you're reading xp
.
The dagger is almost within his reachâso very nearly grabbable.
Other than being eight years old in a hospital room with the smell of rotting flowers clinging to the back of his throat, Stiles doesn't think he's ever wanted anything more than this.
Again, Derek hacks out, âJust run, Stiles!â
Again, Stiles answers noâonly this time, it's not with his voice but a yellow-green vine of pure light that extends from his fingertips as he pleads with each beat of his heart for the universe to help him, the tendrils stretching, stretching, then victoriously winding themselves around the handle of the blade.Â
âOh, shit,â he mutters, now with his actual voice, and then the vine of his will is pulling the knife flush into his grip.Â
He looks up at the hunter, their face a billboard of surprise, before a shriek rips itself from her belly at the very same time Derek roars from where he's tethered and bound, the wolfsbane-laced chains melting further into his flesh as he tries in vain to once again break free.
Then the evil bastard is flinging herself at Stilesâand straight into the dagger aimed at her solar plexus that his light sends sailing across the cave, plunging it deep into her breast.
It might not be bullseye, but it does the trick.
As she drops to the dusty ground like a discarded ragdoll, the other two hunters' heads snap like whiplash to where Stiles is sprawled, a look of pure terror marring their faces.
The cowardly fuckers drop their weapons and scatter, leaving Stiles and Derek aloneâother than the dead woman at their feetâin the large cave they'd dragged Derek into a few hours ago.
Derek's wrung out, and beaten down, but alive.Â
At once, Stiles scrambles to his feet to get over to where the ÊŒwolf is chained up, almost falling back down again when his probably sprained ankle gives way beneath him.Â
âStop fucking hurting yourself,â Derek hisses, and for once in Stiles's insane life he wishes he could gnash his teeth and roar in response, and it have an effect that would be anything other than ridiculous.Â
âOh my god,â he protests instead. âI've just saved your offensively pretty ass with my new spark's apparently awesome Gio-Ju-ju, a-hole, so how ÊŒbout we be a little less sourwolf and a lot more gratefulwolf to olâStilesy boy here, hmm?â he sasses, finding the key to the padlock that's bolted to Derek's chains on the flat rock where his flashlight got dropped when confiscated by one of the hunters.Â
Stiles feels petulant, and justified in that petulance as he discards the now unlocked padlock. Then he feels a little wrong-footed when Derek quietly mumbles, âThank you,â because the guy sounds both in a considerable amount of pain and genuinely grateful to Stiles.
Stiles sighs and kneels down to start prizing the chains away from Derek's red-raw, still-smoking skin, the ÊŒwolf's forever-stoic face giving away nothing of the hurt he's obviously suffering at the cruel hands of the aconite still desperately trying to seep its way into his body.
âYou don't have to do that for me, you know,â Stiles says carefully, hinting at Derek's display of endurance.
Derek's eyes flicker from mid-space to Stiles's face, and Stiles suddenly notices that their heads are actually dizzyingly close.
He swallows, and the sound of it echoes around the cave as if mocking him.Â
The second he peels away the last link in the chain attached to Derek's skin, and before Derek can push him away, Stiles brings a hand to Derek's throat to feel for his pulse.Â
When determined fingers find it, Derek's face does a thing that Stiles hasn't seen it do before; it's this combination of incredulous and vulnerable, and is so unprecedented, and so beautiful, that Stiles sort of wants to cry about it.Â
âYou can hear mine,â he superfluously reminds Derek, before saying what he really wants to. âIt's not fair I don't get to knowâthat you're alive, I mean. Like, I know I can see it but⊠The tactile reassurance? That's, uh, you know, kind of nice, too.âÂ
Man, he spends way too much time with werewolves.Â
Then, when he licks at his dry lips and Derek's pulse quickens under his fingertips, Stiles is so much more than simply placated.
Taking a steadying breath, he feels a million trillion miles away from anything even remotely resembling steady.
He studies Derek's face some more for confirmation of his suspicion, and finds something akin to bashful swimming amid the swirls of those gorgeous seafoam eyes.
Derek likes him back?
Stiles sinks his teeth into his bottom lip; Derek's pulse starts to race.Â
Amazingly, it seems Stiles isn't alone in the want he feels deep in his gut, and as it grows and spreads to his extremities, his fingers and toes now tingling with it, he reckons he's maybe beaten-up and bleeding out and half-braindead enough to have the balls to actually do something about it.Â
It must be biological, he thinks as he licks at his lips again, that his body somehow knows exactly what to do to hopefully get Derek to do exactly what Stiles wants him toâlick Stiles' lips for him, that isâwithout him making an actual fully-formed decision on the matter.
Although as soon as he's thinking that, the decision to kiss Derek is unequivocally madeâeven if it's going to get him shoved into the dirt for trying.Â
He's about to lean in when one of Derek's already beginning-to-heal hands stops him by bracing his shoulder.Â
âI can smell your pain, Stiles,â he says. âLet me help.â
Stiles tries not to smile as he lies through his teeth. âHurts here, the most,â he murmurs, touching two fingers from the hand not at Derek's pulse to his bruised, bloody lips. He then curls the other hand further around the werewolf's neck, to hold on.
Derek starts to pant, and Stiles has to hold in a whine.
The werewolf sounds absolutely wrecked when he asks, âDo you have any idea what you're doing to me by wrapping your hand around my throat?â
Stiles's smile then brakes free and is wry as his wit as he answers, âI've been working hard to find out how to woo you for months now, big guy. What do you think?â
And when Derek lunges to crush Stiles's mouth with his own, teasing Stiles' lips apart with his hot, hot tongue and nipping at them with blunted canines, Stiles reckons he knows what it must feel like to howl.Â
.

Angsty priest werewolf thought
He was adopted by a strict catholic family. He never knew his biological family and felt lost because of it. He kept his wolf side secret for so long and thought himself a sinner for being how he was born.
He always saw himself as âwrongâ.
He keeps a silver crucifix around his neck and hold it when he prays. Believing the silver the burns into his hands when also burn away the âdemonâ in him. He put wolfsbane in his coffee or tea. Thinking it will poison and drown the beast.
He himself is a very big man. Tall and beefy. Shave himself almost everyday though. If you were to look into his trash you would find wax with hair, used razor blades and nail clippings. Keeps his hair short and slick back.
But when he meets that sweet keeps that comes to the church. He punishes himself even further.
Tying a silver rope around his neck when he prayed in private. Thinking she was sent to him as a test. To see if he can keep his wolf locked away.
After their night of passion and lust. he leaves her before the sun rises.
In his office on his knees. The silver rope around his neck and the silver crucifix in his hands. Praying and begging for forgiveness.
His little mate walks in on him in horror. Watching him punish himself for no reason. Of course she rips off all the silver and yells at him for hurting himself. Holding him close to her and begging to stop doing this. That heâs not evil or wrong.
And he sees now that sheâs not a test from god that he failed.
Sheâs a gift.
wahhhhh
Imagine walking in on the priest you just banged (and who is apparently a werewolf) on his knees holding a silver cross to his chest and searing his skin with it. For a second you don't realize what he's saying his choked sounds of pain just sound like sobs. Then you realize he's praying- not even that. He's begging God for forgiveness for failing his test, for unleashing his wickedness on you and tainting you.
You can't listen to this and interrupt him, pulling the cross from his hands to stop him from hurting himself. He didn't do anything wrong, didn't do anything you didn't want him to do, he didn't deserve punishment.
He doesn't believe you, if anything it makes him feel worse for taking advantage for someone so naive- but your hands feel good on his skin and it's hard to think about anything else. You press kisses to his cheeks and whisper sweet nothings to soothe him and it's easy to forget a cold god in the warm embrace of his mate.

word count [ 3,200 ]
ââââââââââââ
the rain hadn't stopped since you arrived in london. Â
it was the kind of rain that clung to your skin, cold and unrelenting, the sort that made the city feel like it was weeping. you hated london like thisâall damp cobblestones and foggy alleyways, the air thick with the ghosts of choices you couldn't take back. but orders were orders, and when moody called, you came. even when you knew what it meant. even when you knew  why  they were sending you.  Â
the safehouse door creaked as you pushed inside, shaking water from your coat. the familiar scent of old wood and burnt coffee wrapped around you, undercut by something sharperâwolfsbane. your fingers tightened around your wand. you hadn't expected him to be here. not really. not after everything. Â Â
but thenâ Â Â
"you're late." Â
his voice. god, his voice. rough at the edges like he hadn't slept, the way it always got before the full moon. you turned slowly, and there he was: remus lupin, leaning against the kitchen doorway like a man braced for impact. he looked older. the war had carved new lines around his mouth, shadows beneath his eyes. his sweater was fraying at the cuffs. you'd always hated that sweater. Â
"traffic," you said, forcing lightness into your tone. "death eaters love a good bottleneck." Â
his lips twitched. not quite a smile, but close. then his gaze dropped to your left handâto the fresh scar curling around your wrist. a cursed blade in prague. you watched his throat work as he swallowed. "you've been busy." Â
"you know how it is." you shrugged, tucking your hand behind your back. "dumbledore's errand girl." Â
"don't." the word cracked between you. he looked away first, scrubbing a hand over his face. "justâdon't do that." Â
the silence stretched, thick with everything you weren't saying. you could hear the others in the next roomâsirius' loud laugh, moody's growl, the clink of glasses. a normal meeting. just another mission briefing. exceptâ Â
"it's lyon, isn't it?" you said quietly. Â
remus went very still. Â
"i heard the rumors." you kept your voice steady, even as your pulse thundered in your ears. "werewolf cub chained up as bait. classic death eater trap." Â
"you're not going." Â "i am." Â
" (y/n)â " Â Â
"don't." you met his eyes, holding his gaze even as yours burned. "we both know why they're sending me. we both know  +who  they'll have guarding that kid."  Â
his breath hitched. you saw the moment he understoodâthe moment he realized you knew exactly what you were walking into. his hands flexed at his sides, like he wanted to reach for you. like he still thought he could stop you. Â
"you could say no," he whispered. Â Â
you smiled, bitter and fond all at once. "since when have i ever been able to do that?" Â Â
the door to the meeting room swung open. "ah, there you are!" moody's voice boomed. "we're starting. lupin, stop lurking and get in here." Â
remus didn't move. his eyes never left yours. you could see the plea in themâthe desperate, furious  don't do this  that he wouldn't let himself say aloud. Â
you stepped around him, your shoulder brushing his as you passed. close enough to smell the tea and parchment scent of him. close enough to feel the warmth of his skin through his threadbare sweater. Â
"welcome back," he murmured, so soft you almost missed it. Â you didn't look back. you couldn't. Â
the war room smelled like firewhiskey and burnt parchment. Â
you took your usual seat between emmeline and sturgis, ignoring the way the wood creaked beneath you. the map of lyon sprawled across the table, dotted with red pins that made your stomach twist. too many. far too many. Â
"finally decided to join us, then?" moody grunted, his magical eye whirling to fix on you. "good. you'll need the details." Â Â
sirius kicked his feet up on the table, but his usual smirk was absent. "lovely weather for a suicide mission." Â
"black." dumbledore's voice was mild, but the warning was clear. Â
remus hadn't sat down. he stood against the far wall, arms crossed, jaw clenched so tight you could see the muscle twitching. his eyes burned into youâdark and furious and terrified all at once. Â
you focused on moody. "how fresh's the intel?" Â
"three hours old." moody stabbed a finger at the map. "safehouse here. two guards, maybe three. kid's in the cellar." Â
"what condition?"Â "alive. barely."Â your nails bit into your palms. Â
"extraction team?" Â
"you."Â a sharp inhale from the corner.
remus' voice cut through the room like a blade. "that's it? just her? "
 "objections, lupin?" moody growled. Â
"yes, actually." remus shoved off the wall, his chair screeching back. "it's a  trap.  they're  expecting  us. expecting  her. " Â
"all the more reason to move fastâ" Â
"bullshit." the word cracked like a whip. you'd never heard remus swear in a meeting before. "you're sending her in alone because you know they won't kill her on sight. because they'll  want  to make it hurt." Â
the room went still. Â
sirius slowly lowered his feet from the table. "moonyâ" Â Â
"no." remus' hands were shaking. "no, this is  insane.  even for you." his gaze locked onto dumbledore. "you  know  what they'll do to her." Â
dumbledore steepled his fingers. "we all must make sacrificesâ" Â
"don't." remus' voice dropped to something low and dangerous. "don't you  dare  give me that noble shit while you send her to die." Â
your chest ached. you'd never seen him like thisâraw and unraveling, his control shattered. the wolf in his eyes. Â
"remus." you said his name softly, but he flinched like you'd struck him. Â
"you're  agreeing  to this?" he demanded, turning on you. "you  know  what's waiting thereâ" Â
"i do."  "then  why? " Â
the room held its breath. Â you met his gaze, steady. "because it's not just any werewolf." Â his breath hitched. Â "it's a child," you continued quietly. "and we both know who they'll send to guard him." Â the realization dawned on his faceâhorror, then fury, then something shattered. "greyback." Â
you didn't nod. you didn't have to. Â
remus made a sound like a wounded animal. "no. Â no. Â you don'tâyou can't possiblyâ" Â
"it's done," moody interrupted. "mission's a go. dawn tomorrow." Â
remus looked at dumbledore, desperate. "albus, Â pleaseâ " Â
"the decision is made." Â
for one terrible moment, you thought remus might actually attack him. his magic crackled in the air, books trembling on the shelves. thenâ Â
"fine." he spat the word like poison. "but i'm going with her." Â
"no." dumbledore's voice was final. "your condition makes you a liability for this." Â
"my  condition  is exactly whyâ" Â
"enough." you stood abruptly, cutting him off. "we're done here." Â
remus stared at you, betrayal and fury warring in his eyes. you forced yourself to turn away, to gather your things. you couldn't look at him. not now. not whenâ Â
a hand grabbed your wrist.  "look at me," remus demanded, low and rough.  you turned.  his eyes were wild, his breath coming too fast. "tell me you're not doing this," he whispered, just for you. "tell me you'll run.  please. "  your throat closed. you could lie. you  should  lie. instead, you gently pulled free. Â
"i'll see you after," you lied anyway. Â
his fingers slipped from yours. Â
the hallway was too quiet after the meeting. Â
you stood by the front door, your bag slung over one shoulderâlighter than it should be. youâd left most of your things behind. no point in dragging them through the mud of a french battlefield. Â
remus found you there. of course he did. Â
he didnât speak at first. just stared at you, his chest rising and falling too fast, his hands clenched at his sides like he was physically holding himself together. the dim light caught the silver in his hair, the new lines around his mouth. he looked older. he looked broken. Â
"youâre really going." his voice was scraped raw. you didnât answer. you didnât have to. Â
a muscle jumped in his jaw. "say something. Â anything. " Â Â
what could you say? that you were sorry? that you wished things were different? that every fucking cell in your body screamed to stay, to curl into him and never let go? Â you said none of it. Â
his control snapped. Â
" look at me! " he grabbed your shoulders, fingers digging in hard enough to bruise. "look at me and tell me this isnât just someâsome  punishment  for leaving you! tell me youâre not doing this just to make me watch you die! " Â
your breath hitched. his eyes were wild, desperate, his tears catching the light as they fell. youâd barely seen him cry before. not even that last night in the common room. Â
gently, you reached up and brushed a tear from his cheek. he flinched like your touch burned. Â
"itâs not about you," you whispered. "it never was." Â
he made a wounded noise, his forehead dropping to yours. his breath was warm against your lips, his whole body shaking. "please. Â please. Â iâllâiâll go with you. iâll beg greyback myself. iâllâ" Â
"no." you fisted your hands in his sweaterâ that  sweater, the one youâd always pretended to hateâand held on tight. "youâre going to live. youâre going to  survive  this war. and youâre going to be  happy. " Â
"donât." his voice broke. "donât say goodbye. not like this." Â
you kissed him instead. Â
it was nothing like your last kissâno firewhiskey and desperation, no whispered  i love yous.  this was soft. slow. a promise youâd never get to keep. his lips trembled against yours, his hands clutching at you like he could memorize you by touch alone. Â
when you pulled away, his eyes were still closed. Â
"look at me," you murmured. he did. Â
you memorized the exact shade of his eyes in this lightâgold and green and brown, all at once. the way his lashes stuck together with tears. the freckle just below his left eyebrow. every detail. every breath. then you let go. Â
"iâll see you after," you lied again, and the door clicked shut behind you. Â
remus didnât follow. Â
Â
the owl arrived at 3:17 a.m. Â
remus knew the exact time because he'd been staring at the clock for seven hours straight, watching the minute hand crawl through the dark. he'd memorized the cracks in the ceiling above his bed, the way the streetlamp outside painted stripes of gold across the floor. he'd counted them. thirteen stripes. always thirteen. Â
the tapping came againâinsistent, sharp. like it had been waiting for him. Â
he didn't move. Â
the owl dropped the letter through the gap in the window, its wings beating once, twice, before vanishing into the night. the envelope skidded across the floorboards, coming to rest against the toe of his boot. Â
order of the phoenix seal. Â no bloodstains. Â Â
that was the first betrayal. Â
his hands didn't shake as he picked it up. they should have. they  wouldn't.  the parchment was crisp under his fingers, the wax seal unbroken. he could still send it back. he could burn it. he couldâ Â
it opened too easily. Â
 mission failure.  Â
 operative deceased.  Â
 body unrecovered.  Â
three lines. that's all you got. three fucking lines after a lifetime ofâ Â
remus didn't realize he was screaming until his throat burned. the mirror above the dresser shattered. the lightbulb in the ceiling exploded. somewhere deep in his chest, the wolf howled. Â
he didn't stop. Â
he tore the letter in half. then quarters. then eighths. he kept tearing until the pieces were too small to hold, until they fluttered to the floor like snow. like ashes. like the last bits of your purple cloak drifting through that french cellar. Â Â
the silence afterwards was worse. Â
he sat there for hours, maybe days, the shredded parchment clinging to his sweat-damp skin. at some point, the sun rose. at some point, his tea went cold. Â
when sirius finally kicked down the door, he found remus exactly where the owl had left himâback against the bedframe, knees pulled to his chest, your name on his lips like a prayer. like a curse. Â
"moonyâ" Â
remus looked up. his eyes were dry. Â Â
"she lied," he said, very calmly. "she said she'd see me after." Â
sirius didn't answer. he just sank to the floor and pulled remus into his arms, holding him tight as his body finally,  finally  remembered how to break. Â
Â
the fire in dumbledoreâs office crackled too cheerfully for the storm brewing inside remus lupin. Â
he didnât sit. didnât speak. just stood there, your old journal clutched in his hands like a weapon, his knuckles white around the worn leather. harry had found it tucked away in a box of lilyâs thingsâjust a small, unassuming thing, filled with your messy handwriting and secrets dumbledore had sworn didnât exist. Â
 "heâs sending me to lyon. alone. of course. because remus canât know. because if he knew, heâd stop me. or worseâheâd come with me. and dumbledore canât have that, can he? not when the mission requires a body left behind."  Â
your words. your voice. right there in ink, dated three days before you died. Â
remusâ blood roared in his ears. Â
"you knew." his voice was low. dangerous. not a question. never a question. Â
dumbledore didnât look up from his tea. "i had my suspicions." Â
" bullshit. " the word tore from him, raw and furious. the journal hit the desk with a  thud , pages splayed open to your final entry. " she knew. she fucking knew it was a suicide mission. and you sent her anyway. "  Â
for the first time, dumbledore met his gaze. his eyes were tired. old. but not sorry. never sorry. "she was the only one who could get close enough." Â
" close enough to what? " remusâ hands shook. " to die? to burn alive in some fucking cellar so you couldâwhat? prove a point? " Â
"to save the child." Â Â
" you could have sent me! " the words ripped out of him, magic crackling at his fingertips, rattling the portraits on the walls. " i could have gotten them both out! " Â
"no." dumbledoreâs voice was calm. infuriatingly calm. "you would have tried to save  her  first. and the boy would have died."  Â
the truth of it hit like a curse to the chest. Â Â
remus staggered back, his breath coming too fast, too sharp. " you donât get to decide that. " Â
"i did." dumbledore set his tea down. "and i would do it again." Â
for a single, blinding moment, remus wanted to kill him. wanted to wrap his hands around the old manâs throat and  squeeze  until the light left those too-knowing eyes. wanted to scream until the castle crumbled around them. Â
instead, he laughed. Â
it was a hollow, broken sound. " of course you would. " he dragged a hand through his hair, his voice dropping to something venomous. " you always knew how to weigh a life, didnât you? her death was just another calculation. another fucking sacrifice. " Â
dumbledore didnât deny it. Â
remus turned away before the rage could consume him entirely. he couldnât look at him. couldnât stand the weight of that silence, the  acceptance  in it. Â
"you should have told me," he said finally, his voice scraped raw. " i deserved to know. " Â
"would it have changed anything?" Â the question hung between them, cruel and inevitable. Â
no. Â
 no, it wouldnât have. Â
because you would have gone anyway. Â
and he would have let you. Â
remus didnât answer. he just picked up your journal, holding it to his chest like it could somehow fill the hole youâd left behind. Â then he walked out. Â
a folded piece of parchment, delivered by a tawny owl at midnight, months later after the end of the school yearâ back in his apartment. Â
dearest remus, Â Â
 i find myself compelled, after all these years, to offer you the truth you so desperately crave. i suggest you read no furtherâbut we both know you will.   she did not burn. that was a kindness i allowed you in the beginning, one i see now was misguided. the truth, as always, is far uglier.   they caught her just outside the cellar door. sheâd freed the boyâdid you know that? he was halfway to the apparition point when they dragged her back. greyback himself held her down while they worked. cruciatus first, of course. she laughed at them. you know how she got when angry, that wild defiance that made even bellatrix hesitate. it only made them angrier.  Â
 they used muggle tools. knives, mostly. the kind that leave jagged edges. they started with her handsâthe left first, the one with your ring. she screamed then, but only once. after that, she just gritted her teeth and took it. iâm told she never stopped trying to crawl toward the door, even when her fingers were gone. even when her knees were shattered. she was still whispering instructions to the boy when theyâ  Â
  no. iâll spare you that particular detail. some things, even now, are too cruel to put to paper.  Â
 she lasted forty-three minutes. longer than most would have. longer than i expected. the healer who examined the scene afterward said there were grooves in the floorboards where her nails had dug in. sheâd tried to claw her way out, even at the end. even when there was no hope left.  Â
 the boy survived. he carries your ring to this day. i thought you might find some comfort in that.  Â
 you were right, of course. i could have sent you. but we both know what would have happened. youâd have chosen her over the mission. over the war. over the greater good. and so i chose for you.  Â
 i do not expect your forgiveness. i ask only that you understandâsome losses are necessary. some loves must be sacrificed. hers was one.  Â
 yours,  Â
 a.d.  Â
the letter falls from remusâ hands. Â Â
for a moment, thereâs nothing. no sound. no breath. just the parchment lying there on the floor, dumbledoreâs elegant script screaming up at him in the dim light of his shitty apartment. Â
thenâ Â
his wand is in his hand before he realizes heâs reached for it. the spell tears from his throat raw and ragged, magic cracking through the air like a gunshot. Â
â expecto patronum. â Â
the silver wolf bursts forth in a blaze of lightânot the gentle glow of happier memories, but something  feral , all bared teeth and hackles raised. when it opens its mouth, itâs  his  voice that comes out, broken and furious: Â
â she knew. she fucking knew. all this timeâshe knew she was walking into that cellar to die and dumbledoreâfucking  dumbledore â â Â
his voice shatters. the wolf flickers, its edges fraying with the force of his rage. Â
â he sent her there to die, pads. he  let  them carve her apart and sheâ â a ragged gasp. â she still tried to crawl. she was still  trying â â Â
the patronus wavers, its light guttering like a candle in a storm. remusâ knees hit the floor. Â
â i need you, â he whispers. Â

Werewolf bonding/mating/wedding (headcanon for the Teen Wolf universe)
Just for research: Are there any werewolf wedding traditions or mate bond ceremonies? Or do you have any headcanons? Because I have.
We all know the fairly popular one where a mate bite is given and then a bond forms, but I love the idea of having a ceremony similar to a wedding day. I first started thinking about it after having a Petopher fanfic idea where they have a secret bonding ceremony that is held by a druid.
It takes place on a full moon in the woods, and both of them haven't seen each other the whole day. Both bring a gift, a sacrifice, to the ceremony as an offering to the partner to be able to provide for them. I know it sounds a little primal, but werewolf are partly animals, after all. After the sacrifice is accepted, the ritual begins. The first step is scenting each other. Then, the druid will speak a few ancient words (almost like a ritual) before binding the hands of the spouses with a band where silver is woven into the fabric to symbolically show the union that is about to happen (silver can kill supernaturals, so it my idea is that the silver indicates that the bond can only be parted by death). I also find the symbolism of "sharing" blood really cool, so maybe the bottom lip is cut with a small blade laced with a small amount of wolfsbane to keep the wound open until the blood gets mixed by a kiss on the mouth. The kiss seals the ritual, so before that happens, there is the chance for the spouses to say their vows.
It's up to the couple if this is done alone or in the presence of the pack. After the ceremony, the brought sacrifices from earlier are eaten. Everything else involving the celebration can be individually designed/planned to the spouses liking.
Now for the bite. The bite is given at the wedding night that takes place under the moon. The partners will separate for a set time in the woods before the "hunt" begins. Again, more of a primal thing that can be seen as foreplay.
Those are all my thoughts regarding this topic, but maybe you have other ideas and headcanons. If so, I would really like to know them, so feel free to share^^

Lemme request something Void! related. Preferably Sterek. No x reader please. Even just Sterek friendship!
Devoid of All Emotion
A/N: OML TYSM FOR THIS REQUEST!!! I AM SO GRATEFUL, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Now to explain, I would ship Sterek but the thing is, yk, the age gap, so unless it's an au or a few years into the future when it's more natural, I view Stiles and Derek as platonic soulmates. I really hope you enjoy and PLEASE, TEEN WOLF PEOPLE, SEND REQUESTS.
(divider by @saradika-graphics)
Three seconds breath in, three seconds hold, three seconds breath out.Â
Three in, three hold, three out.
In, hold, out.
Three, three, three.
The rhythmic breathing was beginning to ache in his chest as the man exhaled steadily, attempting to steel himself as he stared at the orange hues of sunset. Inside the apartment, beyond the door, he could hear the Sheriffâs attempt at resurfacing whatever remained of his son.
In, hold, out.
Derek glanced to his side, where Allison was gnawing on the ends of her fingernails, glancing to her dad every few moments. He could smell the anxiety rolling off of her, grief twisting with it as she sighed loudly. Emotional pain drifted in the air, stronger and heavier than anything else.
âYouâre not my son,â the words floated into Derekâs ears as the tiny flickering spark of hope in his stomach was quenched with the snapping sound of metal being broken. Stiles was gone. He blinked languidly, his own grief growing inside of him.Â
Argent was the calmest one present, as predicted, and waves of chilling cool rolled off of him. It was relieving to Derekâs overwhelmed senses, and he focused on that instead of Allisonâs frantic panic as they entered the loft.
He followed Argent with monotonous steps, watching out of the corner of his eye as Allison sucked in a breath, positioning herself diagonally from Stiles.Â
No, a voice in his head rasped, and Derek scanned the boyâs face hopelessly. Thatâs not Stiles.
Abruptly the weight of the situation came crashing down on him. That wasnât Stiles in front of him, that was the Nogitsune, controlling the boy he once knew. Stiles was smart and mischievous, witty and quick-thinking, but he had this bubbly energy that had originally annoyed Derek to all ends.Â
But now, he would give anything for a cheerful humorous quip to come from Stilesâ lips, instead, the Nogitsune watched contently, as though everything heâd planned was slotting into place. It was using Stilesâ body like a puppet, and Derek could practically picture the red strings tied to the boyâs every limb, controlling his every move.
Allison attempted to tase the Nogitsune, but it raised its fists effortlessly and caught the electricity. Sure, Derek hadnât thought the taser would affect the monster, but he hadnât expected it to catch it. He pushed down the fear rising in his stomach, trying desperately to picture something other than Stiles in front of him.
And then the Nogitsune yanked the electricity, and Allisonâs eyes grew wide with horror as the taser was ripped from her grip with careless ease, thrown to the side of the room.Â
Rage washed over Derek as he stared at the monster in front of him, controlling Stilesâ body and taunting him without even realising. It was as though someone had taken a blade dripping with wolfsbane and plunged it through his heart, twisting constantly.Â
Heâd been too afraid to admit it, even to himself, but Derek was aware his anchor had changed. The moment heâd met Stilesâ teary eyed gaze in this very same place, nearly two months before, heâd known. It had taken him a mere matter of seconds to believe the words that came from Stilesâ mouth, and with that Scottâs. Heâd nearly killed Jenâ the Darach right then and there.
Stiles was a cheerful boy, even if he had darkness inside of him that he rarely talked about. Derek was aware of how soulmates worked, whether they were platonic or romantic, it took a werewolf - or were creature of some sort - to feel the bond. He hadnât recognised it at first, but Stiles was in fact his other half, and even though there were no romantic connections tying them together, Derek loathed the idea of hurting him.
But this wasnât Stiles, this was the Nogitsune.
Derek snarled and lunged forward, aiming to grab the back of the boyâs head, only for the Nogitsune to grab him by the arm and twist. A cry of pain escaped his lips as he heard and felt his arm break as his shirt was grabbed and his head was slammed into the table. In one swift motion he was thrown into the pillar, and he groaned when pain erupted from his ribs as his back hit the plaster and he fell to the floor.
Not Stiles, he told himself. Nogitsune.
A click ran through the room, and Derek lifted his head to stare at Argent through the haze of pain glazing over his eyes. The sound of safety being switched off on a gun. Said gun was pointed directly at Stilesâ head. It didnât matter if it was the Nogitsune, because that was Stilesâ body it was controlling, and a bullet to the head would kill him.
âArgent, listen to me,â the Sheriff began, reaching out a hand as though to calm a frightened animal. âDonât do this.â Derek rose to his feet, because even though he was sure heâd broken a few ribs and it hurt like hell - even though it would heal - he wasnât going to just watch Argent shoot his anchor.Â
Not just his anchor, his other half.
âWhy not?â Argent mused calmly, but Derek could smell the tinge of guilt amongst the collected calm. âIâve done it before; werewolves, berserkers, I can easily add a Nogitsune to the list.â The Sheriff responded immediately, raising his gun and clicking off the safety smoothly, pointing it at Argentâs head.
Derek saw Stilesâ mouth form an âoâ, eyes widening and brows shooting up, as though he wasnât surprised, just amused. It made him feel sick.Â
Argent glanced at the Sheriff. âYouâre not gonna shoot my son,â the man told him firmly, and the stench of fear spilling off of him was acidic to Derekâs senses.
âYou said it yourself, Sheriff,â Argent told him, turning back to look at the Nogitsune. âThatâs not your son.â The Nogitsune tilted Stilesâ head mockingly, taunting Argent silently, teasing him. Derek wanted to scream.
âPut it down,â the Sheriff firmly ordered, yet Argent didnât flinch. âPut it down.â
âDad, heâs gonna shoot me,â the Nogitsune whispered, fear seeping through its words. But the fear was fake, an attempt to guilt trip the Sheriff into listening. Derek reminded himself yet again; this was the Nogitsune, not Stiles. Not his Stiles. âHeâs gonna kill me, Dad.â
âPut the gun down,â the Sheriff repeated, glancing at the body of his son again.Â
âDonât listen,â Argent told him.
âPut it down!â The Sheriffâs voice grew louder and stronger. âNow! Do it! Put it down!â
The Nogitsune turned Stilesâ head, staring Argent in the eyes. And yet, as it spoke, something inside of Derek tinged, and he knew that the words were Stilesâ, not the spiritâs. âPull the trigger, come on.â The Nogitsune was playing it off as a taunt, but Derek could feel the heavy presence of Stiles in the words, begging Argent to kill him so the spirit would leave.
Horror was swimming in Derekâs stomach, getting harder and harder to push down. He wanted to grab Stiles and drag him away, but this wasnât Stiles. Yet, it had Stilesâ body, and if any harm came to the boyâs body, it wasnât just affecting the Nogitsune. It was doing well, and he knew that, it was pulling on everyoneâs heartstrings and taunting them into doing exactly what it wanted.
Derek hated it.
âListen to me, you put the gun down now!â The Sheriff shouted, and Derek watched the horror melt Argentâs features, as though he realised exactly what was happening.
âDad!â Allison pleaded, and Derek wanted to join her in begging them to stop, but he couldnât drag his eyes from Stilesâ face. Devoid of all emotion, completely void.Â
âShoot me!â Stiles screamed, and yet again, it was Stiles. The Nogitsune couldnât completely control the boy, but it was manipulating his body language and tone, but the words themselves were all Stiles. Derek despised it. This was Stiles, his anchor, his other half, begging for Argent to put a bullet through his head to save his friends, to save everyone. Stiles begging for his own death. It filled Derek with a new kind of emotion, one he couldnât quite decipher, but it was strong.
âPut the gun down!â
âShoot me!â
âArgent, you put it down!â
âStrife,â came Allisonâs whisper, and Derekâs gaze broke from Stilesâ face, realisation hitting him. The colours of sunset were fading to darkness, and his heart ached. The Onii were on their way, on their way to kill the Nogitsune, and in the process, Stiles. His Stiles.
âPut it down! Put it down!â
âStop!â Allison screeched. âStop it! This is what he wants! This is exactly what he wants!â
âNot exactly,â the Nogitsune intervened, and a rush of sharp coldness like an icy river shot through Derekâs soul, engulfing him in frigid iciness. âI was kinda hoping Scott would be here. But Iâm glad you all have your guns out, because you arenât here to kill me. Youâre here to protect me.â
The Nogitsune turned and stepped backwards, between the Sheriff and Argent as four dark figures materialised out of nowhere. The Onii slashed the swords ominously, and Derek hated to admit that the Nogitsune was right. He wasnât going to let the shadowy figures even brush against Stiles. Never.
And then the two men opened fire on the shadows, and Derek slipped round to meet Allison on the other side, encircling Stiles.Â
The fight was a blur, literally, because the Onii seemed to be pure shadow. At some point, one of their swords sliced Derekâs shoulder, and he cried out in pain. They eventually dissipated, and when he turned around, Stiles was gone, nowhere to be seen. The others left shortly after.
A sigh escaped his lips as he splashed his face with water as the ache in his chest grew, licking up inside his throat and burning. His other half was out there somewhere, trapped inside his own body with no control as the Nogitsune continued to puppet him.
The idea sent more rage rocketing through Derekâs body and he leaned his forehead against the wall. Nothing was ever simple in Beacon Hills, and now they had to somehow yank a spirit from a human boyâs body.Â
But they would, Derek knew that. Because he wasnât going to give up until Stiles was back and the Nogitsune was gone. Whatever it took.
A/N: tysm for reading!!! i hope you enjoyed!!!! please send requests, im actually begging you.

Beneath Bonds and Blades
Chapter Nine: Professionals
âLucanis!â Rook snapped. âBoth of you need to knock it off. I won't tolerate you two bickering like children. You're both professionals and I expect you to act like it. Got it?â
âI hear you, Rook,â Davrin agreed stiffly, though he kept glowering at Lucanis. âBut as a professional, it's my duty to keep an eye on him and Spite.â âAnd with Darkspawn blood running through your veins, I'll be watching you. Professionally,â Lucanis shot back.
Summary:
After plans to stop the Dread Wolf from tearing down the Veil go sideways, Antivan Crow Rook De Riva meets Lucanis Dellamorte, the Demon of Vyrantium, for the first time and requests his help to fight the gods that threaten to destroy their world. Rook quickly learns that underneath the stories of the contracts and assassinations is something else entirely.Â
âBeneath Bonds and Bladesâ is an expanded retelling of Rook and Lucanisâs romance from the game Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
All Chapters | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter
Read on AO3
Content Warning: Thoughts of death and suicide.
Author Note: Taash is included in this chapter and Iâll still be using she/her for their pronouns. Taash does come out to Rook after Weisshaupt, but this chapter takes place only a couple of days after.
This chapter also contains datamined content.
Rook held the vial in her hand up to eye level and watched the light from the aquarium shine through the purple liquid inside. She titled the small bottle, causing the thick solution to slide from the bottom to the top; only stopping once it had hit the cork that kept it sealed.Â
âA Kiss Goodbye,â she murmured with a satisfied smile, pressing a label she had made earlier to the side of the glass and running her thumb overtop to adhere it. If there was one thing Rook prided herself on, it was her poisons. Teia often teased Viago that perhaps he had trained her too well and that she may surpass him one day. He never took too kindly to the jest and would usually leave the room in a huff.
Aconite. Monkshood. Wolfsbane. All common names for the same vibrant indigo flower that contained a poisonous alkaloid. Contact to the skin would cause numbness, tingling, and cardiac irregularities. When ingested it could disable nerves, lower blood pressure, and even stop the heart. With a few added ingredients, her marks would be dead within minutes using no more than a drop or two.
Her smile faded as a feeling of melancholy washed over her and she lowered the small vial to her lap. âA Kiss Goodbyeâ was almost too fitting of a name, she thought, since she was prepared to use it herself if the time came. There was much she was willing to endure but the thought of becoming one of the godâs blighted puppets haunted her. Death had been a constant companion of hers throughout her life and she would rather welcome it with open arms on her own terms than fall to the gods. That had been part of the reason sheâd offered herself up as a distraction at Weisshaupt. Dying on the job, and in the place of others, seemed like a good way to go. If something unthinkable happened, she always kept a few poisons tucked away on her belt. She could take one and be granted a quick death. Luckily it hadnât come to that.Â
Rook wasnât afraid to die. Or thatâs what she told herself. Staring down at death in the past had caused her heart to race and fear claw its way across her skin, but isnât that how everyone felt? She had seen it in the eyes of her marks countless times, all different shapes and colors, yet the look was always the same. A sudden realization followed by panic and terror. She had been trained to ignore their frightened pleas, some times were harder than others, but if she couldnât take their lives, the Crows would take hers. She had come to terms with it long ago.Â
When she was a child, she could remember being starving and exhausted, thinking how nice it would be to close her eyes and never open them again. Years later, when she had failed to carry out her first contract efficiently, she had laid on a cot surrounded by other fledglings. Her face was pressed into her pillow to stifle her quiet sobs and her body racked with pain after each breath from the punishment she had received. She had wondered then if turning the blade on herself would be a better option than continuing to use it on others. Would she be welcomed by nothing but darkness forevermore? Or would she awaken to Andraste taking her in her arms? With the threats around her growing increasingly more volatile, Rookâs mind would begin to drift to those darker thoughts again when she was alone.
What did she have to lose anyway? She had no real family. Teia would likely mourn were she to die, and perhaps Viago would in his own way, but they knew just as well as she did the cost of the job. Rook was one of many Antivan Crows. It wouldnât be long until another took her place. And what of her friends? Could she even consider her team âfriendsâ? Maybe Varric would grieve. Would the others? They had all already lost so much. She was nothing in comparison. Varric would heal eventually and could take her place. And if he could not, maybe he could finally convince the Inquisitor to head north.
She pushed her thoughts of mortality from her mind and pulled the box of poisons Viago had given her when she became a full Crow. After wiping down the outside of the new poison with a clean cloth, she placed the vial aside and dropped the cloth into an open bag beside her. Then she removed her wrist length gloves, making sure to turn them inside out as she did so that she wouldnât touch the outside leather with her bare hands, and placed those in the bag as well before pulling the drawstring closed. They would need to be washed later.
Rook placed the vial into one of the empty slots inside the box and closed the lid, listening to the click of the metal latches snapping shut. She tilted her head back, stretching her neck out over the seat of the couch, and let out a small sigh. This was the first day off sheâd had to herself in what felt like years. Sheâd wanted to go to Lavendel and check-in with the Grey Wardens but Emmrich insisted she stay put for one more day. She was feeling restless.
She wasnât sure how long she had been sitting on the floor of her room working on her poisons. Time moved strangely at the Lighthouse and there were no windows to the outside world in the meditation room, just the aquarium. It no longer bothered her but for the first several weeks, having the large tank just outside her window had made her anxious. Sheâd heard or seen no indications of weakness, like there had been at the Ossuary, only the rippling sounds of the water moving on the other side of the thick glass. Now she hardly noticed the noise.
It had been three days since Weisshaupt. Three days since the Wardens were nearly wiped out. Three days since they managed to slay Ghilanânainâs Archdemon, but not Ghilanânain herself. Three days since sheâd been injured. She was still stiff when she moved but it was beginning to wear off. Her wound was now just a scar, dark and raised, with a bit of bruising left around the edges. Rook was sure that the bruising would be gone completely by dinnertime.
After picking up her small chest of poisons and the drawstring bag, Rook pushed herself up to her feet and made her way to the small table in front of her wardrobe in the corner of the room. It was then that her door opened and Taash peered around the corner.
âYou know, Taash, thereâs this new thing called âknockingâ. You should try it sometime,â Rook sighed without looking up, placing the chest on the small table and dropping the bag to the floor beside it.Â
âDoorâs unlocked,â Taash shrugged, jiggling the door handle as if to prove her point. âIf you didnât want anyone in here, youâd lock it.â
Rook shook her head and made her way to the door. Now that it was open, she could hear arguing coming from the library at the far end of the hall. Rook raised an eyebrow and leaned to one side to peek behind Taash. âIs everything alright?â
âDavrin and Lucanis. Theyâre still fighting. I thought Iâd come and get you before I end up knocking their heads together.â
âMakerâs breath,â Rook swore and slipped past Taash. As she made her way down the hall, she could hear their voices echoing up from the floor below and Rook could feel the frustration building. Sheâd told them to put their petty arguments aside. They had bigger things to worry about.Â
Earlier that morning, the team had gathered in the dining hall once Rook was able to leave the infirmary. Emmrich had hovered nearby while she eased herself into her usual chair, waiting to offer his assistance if she needed it. His worry was unnecessary, she thought as she watched him settle into his own chair further down the table. He had told her himself that she was fine to move about. She was just slow and sore.
Lucanis had already been sitting to her right and was chatting quietly with Bellara about dinner for that evening. He hadnât spoken to Rook since she had woken up in the infirmary the day before and she could tell he was upset. He refused to turn his head in her direction throughout the meeting and whenever he answered a question of hers, he kept his answers short and to the point. She did her best not to take it personally but she couldnât help but wonder if something she had done or said the day before had angered him.
To say the meeting had been tense would have been an understatement. Luckily, the civilians who had managed to escape Weisshaupt thanks to the sacrifice of Commander Janos and his team before their arrival were now safely in Lavendel with the others. Now, more than ever, the Grey Wardens and other factions needed their assistance. The Veil Jumpers, Shadow Dragons, Lords of Fortune⊠They all needed help as well if Rook was to get their cooperation in taking down the gods.
Davrin and Lucanis were at each other's throats. Davrin blamed Lucanis for missing his shot, saying that Spite missed on purpose. Lucanis blamed Davrin and how Ghilanânain may have commanded the blight in his blood. Rook knew Davrin had every right to be furious about what had happened but thought that blaming Lucanis wasnât right. As for Lucanis, she thought he was simply looking for an outlet for his own anger toward himself. However, that was purely speculation.
When the meeting adjourned, Rook had tried to ask Lucanis if he could stay so they could speak, but he was gone before she had the chance. She sighed and slumped back in her chair instead, trying her best to ignore the disappointment bubbling inside her. Varric had placed a hand on her arm and she gently placed her hand over his, nodding as he offered her advice though not really listening. Her mind was elsewhere and her eyes stared at Lucanisâs empty chair. As she gave the hand under hers a squeeze, it wasnât Varricâs that she pictured.
âWhatâs going on?â Rook called down from the top of the stairs, leaning over the banister and ignoring the dull ache at her side.
âYou're the Crow!â Davrin said, continuing to argue with Lucanis. âYou're supposed to have eyes and ears everywhere! Or maybe the only voice you hear is Spiteâs.â
Rook huffed and began the descent down the stairs. âHey!â
âYou're the Grey Warden, the âexpertâ on this blight! You're supposed to have answers. Or maybe you're too busy playing with your flying cat!â Lucanis waved his hand vaguely toward Assan, who crouched next to Davrin and let out a low trill in response.
âEnough!â Rook shouted when she reached the bottom of the stairs. That finally got their attention and they both turned their heads to look at her as their angered expression relaxed into something more like surprise. âYou two need to take the anger you have and use it for something productive against the gods, not each other.â
âI'd love nothing more. Just as soon as Lucanis and his Crows do their jobs and find them. The damn Crows areââ Davrin stopped when Rook crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. He cleared his throat and shifted his weight almost sheepishly. âThe other Crows. Not you.â
âRight,â Rook said irritably. âOther Crows.â
Lucanis scoffed and stepped a little closer to Rookâs side. âWeâre waiting for you and your Wardens to remember that your job is to⊠What is it again? Oh yes, destroy the blight.â
âLucanis!â Rook snapped. âBoth of you need to knock it off. I won't tolerate you two bickering like children. You're both professionals and I expect you to act like it. Got it?â
âI hear you, Rook,â Davrin agreed stiffly, though he kept glowering at Lucanis. âBut as a professional, it's my duty to keep an eye on him and Spite.â
âAnd with Darkspawn blood running through your veins, I'll be watching you. Professionally,â Lucanis shot back.
âFor fuckâs sake.â Rook closed her eyes, pinched the bridge of her nose, and took a deep breath to try and calm herself before she continued. âLook, I know the last few days have been rough on everyone. Especially you guys. Iâm not asking you to be friends but I need you to get along. We canât defeat the gods if weâre fighting amongst ourselves.â
Lucanis and Davrin stared hard at each other for a long, tense moment. She could hear Taash and Harding talking on the balcony above, so she shot them a glance. When Taash met her eye, Rook jerked her head to the side and the two of them disappeared in the direction of Taashâs room.Â
âSo help me, I will make a âget-alongâ shirt and force the both of you in it,â Rook threatened the men in front of her. She wasnât exactly sure what a âget-alongâ shirt was. Teia had used the threat before when Rook and Viago got into heated arguments. Viago wouldnât give in but he would reluctantly back down. She assumed it was nothing more than a large shirt they had to wear at the same time, though knowing Teia, it could be worse. Part of Rook was glad she had never found out.
âFine,â Lucanis said, finally breaking the silence.Â
âFine,â Davrin echoed.
âFineâŠ?â Rook asked.
âFine. Weâll get along,â Lucanis clarified. âTo take down the gods.â
âShake on it,â she said. Davrin and Lucanis turned their heads in unison to look at her apprehensively. âGo on.â
Davrin was the first to hold out his hand. When Lucanis held out his, Rook could see the bandage wrapped around his hand had been changed. It was done neatly, so she assumed that heâd gone to Emmrich to have it done. She wondered briefly why he didnât just have Emmrich use healing magic but then remembered Lucanis was known as the âMage Killerâ for a reason. Maybe he got Bellara to do it then, or maybe Neve. If it hurt Lucanis in any way when the two men shook their hands firmly once, he didnât show it.
âGood,â Rook sighed. âNowââ
âIâll be in the dining hall. I need to begin meal prep for tonight,â Lucanis said, turning on his heel and swiftly making his way to the door. Rook opened her mouth to protest but decided against it. There was no point. The sight of his back walking away from her was becoming all too familiar. She thought she would be used to it by now, yet each time an unfamiliar feeling in her chest grew. It was like a hole that kept getting bigger and she couldnât fill it.Â
âCome on, boy. Letâs go,â Davrin said to Assan, patting the outside of his own thigh to call the griffin to him as he began to turn to leave.
âDavrin, about WeisshauptâŠâ Rook said, taking a quick step toward him. She reached out, like she was going to touch his arm, but pulled back her hand at the last second. âI just want to make sure youâre okay. You know, afterâŠâ
Davrin looked at Assan before he raised his head to look at Rook. â... I wouldnât say that, no.â
âRightâŠâ Rook wrung her hands together loosely in front of her. It was a dumb question to ask, she knew. Of course he wasnât okay. She just didnât know how else to show that sheâd been worried. Talking to others about their feelings wasnât exactly something she was good at.Â
âWe used to argue, me and the other Wardens,â Davrin began. âThings like: Whoâd be the one to take an Archdemon Down? Whoâd die so others could live? ⊠Not sure any of us believed itâd actually happen.â
âWhen the moment came, you did the Wardens proud,â Rook said in an attempt to be supportive. From the way Davrinâs expression darkened, it was clear she had been unsuccessful.Â
âDid I?â He shot back. âBecause Iâm still here. Theyâre not. Rounald, Malmont, Anya⊠Theyâre all gone.â
Rook pressed her lips together and hung her head. âI know. Iâm sorry, Davrin, I really am.â
âI just⊠I need this to make sense.â
â... Maybe youâre overthinking it?âÂ
Davrin scoffed angrily. âAm I? A Grey Warden kills an Archdemon, they die. Thatâs how it works. Thatâs how itâs always worked.â
âYes, but⊠Who knows what happened? This Blight is different from the others, right? Maybe the gods have changed things and the old rules donât apply. Why is being alive a problem?â
âBecause I didnât expect to be here!â Davrin answered sharply and when Rook looked at him, it was like a puzzle piece had finally clicked into place. Davrin had always known that he would die at his post, he had accepted it, but when the moment came it didnât happen. What would he do now? Everything he thought he knew was wrong. When it came to their jobs and their own mortality, perhaps she and Davrin werenât so different.
âGrey Wardens have an expiration,â Davrin said, more level-headed than heâd been before. âIt pushed me. I only had so much time to do all the things I wanted to do. To be the person I wanted to be.âÂ
âThe gods still live. Thereâs still a fight to be won. You still have a reason to push yourself.â Rook realized as she said the words, she wasnât just giving advice to Davrin, but herself as well.Â
âAnd if we manage to pull this off, what then? I need a purpose, Rook. I feel like a blade sharpened all these years to combat the worst darkness in the world. My blade struck true at Weisshaupt⊠So now what?â
âWellâŠâ Rook felt something nudge at her thigh and she looked down to see Assan rubbing his head against her leg. âYou could raise Assan to help create a world where the light outshines the darkness. He can be one of those beacons of light, especially for you and the remaining Grey Wardens. Something to inspire hope.â
âYeah? Well let me tell you,â Davrin began in a way that made Rook tense and lower her head in anticipation, waiting for him to begin yelling at her. Then he stopped and Rook reluctantly looked back up. His expression had softened and when continued, his voice was calmer. âThat⊠Will require a lot more gingerwort truffles.âÂ
Assanâs ears perked up at the mention of âgingerwort trufflesâ and he let out a squawk before bounding over to Davrin and rubbing up against his legs instead, reminding Rook of a cat. Davrin let out a small chuckle and knelt down to pet the griffin.
âThatâs more like it,â Rook said as she relaxed. âGlad to have you back.â
âSomeone has to feed his feathery butt,â Davrin said to Rook, then turned his attention back to Assan. Rook couldnât help but smile as Davrinâs voice changed to be lighter when he spoke to the griffin. âGuess weâre stuck with each other, boy. No getting rid of me now.â
Assan squawked happily again and tucked his head under Davrinâs chin, nearly knocking the larger man over in the process.
â... Maybe now you and Lucanis can try to patch things up?â Rook suggested.
Davrinâs hands paused in Assanâs feathers. âYeah. We can try.â
âHe had a rough time of it too. He really does blame himself for what happened with Ghilanânian,â Rook said, thinking back to how Lucanis had been the day before in the infirmary. She could still remember the mixed emotions in his eyes. Anger. Sadness. And something else when he looked at her. âProbably more than he blames you.â
Rook watched as Davrin gave one last scratch between Assanâs ears before he stood. âI know. Heâs really good at what he does. Itâs actually kind of amazing watching a Crow do their thing.â
â... Youâve worked with me more than you have with him. Do you keep forgetting that Iâm a Crow too?â
âNo.â
âRight. Well. A lifetime of training and this is what I getâŠâ Rook muttered bitterly to herself.
âThat was an incredible shot he took at Ghilan'nain, though,â Davrin continued. âI shouldnât have blamed him for what happened.â
âThen tell him that,â Rook said motioning toward the doors. âIâm sure he admires all that youâve done. But you wonât know that unless you talk to each other, openly and honestly.â
Davrin glanced at Rook skeptically before putting his hands on his hips and giving a reluctant nod. âYouâre probably right.â
âYou might want to talk to him before dinner. He might, you knowâŠâ Rook cupped one hand to make a bowl shape and pretended to pour something with the other.
Davrin groaned. âDamn Crows.â
Rook couldnât help but laugh as she took a step back toward the stairs. She wasnât sure if Lucanis would actually poison Davrin or not. Viago would have. Rook had lost count how many times she had annoyed or pissed off Viago, only for him to get his revenge later.Â
âHey,â Davrin said to get Rookâs attention before she could head back up the stairs. âWhat about you? Doing okay?â He gestured to her side with one hand.
âYeah. Iâm good. Still a little sore but Iâll be good by tomorrow. I want to visit Lavendel. You up for it?â
Davrin seemed to hesitate. His dark eyes glanced down to where she had been hurt then back up to her twice, like he was trying to decide something, then nodded once. âAlright. Just come find me when youâre ready.â
Rook smiled. âI will. Thanks, Davrin.â

The following day, Sonic is woken up in the middle of the night to the sound of his cell door opening. He isnât given a chance to sit up as heâs pulled up to his feet. Letting out a yawn as he is dragged out of the room by his arm. âWhatâs going on?â He asked half asleep.
His eyes start to adjust as he sees the one pulling him along was Grey. He could only assume this had to do with their fight. âCouldnât wait huh,â Sonic joked as he tried to wake himself up.
âQuiet,â Grey said as he opens a door Sonic doesnât recognize. He yanks Sonic inside before shutting the door behind him.
Sonic looks around, with the amount of boxes they must have been in the cargo hold. Candles all around giving light as Grey continues to guide him through the boxes. Noticing other noises and movement. It looks like they were going to have an audience. A lot of the crew were chilling out drinking while waiting for them to arrive.
âLooks like we got a party starting.â Sonic said trying to wake himself up. He knew all of them could probably kill him with ease but maybe if he showed off a bit of his gift perhaps he could earn enough respect to not be tossed around.
âNeed witnesses to prove that I beat ya.â Grey said, as Sonic chuckles.
âAlready claiming victory when we havenât even started? Rather presumptuous of you,â Sonic teased as Grey huffs. âSomeone got a drink I can sip to help wake me up?â Grey hands him a flask. Sonic sniffs its contents first, it smelt like whiskey along with an earthy scent. He takes a small sip feeling the burn down his throat, the familiar warmth of aged whiskey giving him a sense of home. But there was another flavor mixed in with the whiskey he did not recognize,
âWhatâs in this?â Sonic asked Grey as the others were moving boxes out of the way to make room for their fight.
âWolfsbane.â Scaro said as Sonic looks at him confused. Sonicâs heard of that before,
âWait isnât that poison?â He looks shocked as the others all chuckle,
âTo Mobians no, but to werewolvesâŠâ Scaro said as Sonic turns towards Grey looking for the confirmation of his theory.
âAre you?â Sonic asked.
âYep, didnât want our fight to be too one sided with it being night time.â Grey said. Sonic was stunned, he purposefully poisoned himself to make it a fair fight.
Sonic gives him a grin before tossing him back his flask. âWe fighting hand to hand or blades?â Sonic asked as he takes off his frock and rolls up his sleeves.
âI would suggest fists Grey,â Scaro said, âCap will smell his blood if you accidently cut him.â Sonic wondered if that would be true. They were in the belly of the ship even having super sharp senses the mix of sea breeze and any other smells on the ship would get in the way.
âIâm fine with hand to hand, but I have some ground rules.â Sonic said as Grey nods, âNo claws or biting.â He notices Leven who was hiding in the back of the crowed look relieved at that request.
âGoes with the no drawing blood rule.â Grey said, âThe first one to yield wins.â The crowd all backs away climbing up on boxes to give them space.
âMind giving us the go ahead?â Sonic looks at Scaro who nods.
âOn your marks, Go!â He said as Grey charges at him full speed but none of them were aware that Sonic was faster. He nimbly steps out of the way giving a cocky smile before jumping into the air and kicking Grey in the back of the head. He loses his footing and crashes into one of the crates.
âNot going to make it that easy for you big guy.â Sonic grins as Gray snarls. He knew it probably wasnât a clever idea to piss this guy off, but it was much easier for your opponent to make mistakes when theyâre angry.
But now that Grey was angry Sonic quickly noticed an increase in the Wolfâs speed. It looks like heâs fueled by his emotions and egging him on probably wasnât his best decision. Grey manages to grab Sonic by the leg and throw him across their arena. Before he could manage to get back to his feet Grey was already towering over him ready to smash down with both fists.
No, he couldnât lose here. He needed to gain their respect if he wanted to survive. Sonic knew heâd have to use his full speed to dodge this oncoming attack. Those watching barely blink and see the Hedgehog about to be knocked out cold disappear from the spot.
Grey stops his attack looking incredibly confused starting to look around for the blue hedgehog. In another flash that none of their eyes could track, Sonic appears next to Grey and kicks him in the side with all his strength and speed. The force of the hit blasts him back into a box breaking it on impact as its contents of fruit starts to pour out all around him.
âWhoops⊠guess I got a little carried away. Sorry about that.â Sonic said with an awkward chuckle as the room remains silent trying to process what they just witnessed. Grey slowly gets up brushing off the fruit pieces as Sonic gets ready for another attack, but Grey just starts to laugh.
âAlright, I was not expecting that.â Grey said as the others start to let out chuckles as well. âYa a magic user or something?â He asked relaxing a bit as Sonic didnât know if this was a stop to their fight.
Sonic had come into contact with magic users in the past, sorcerers, or practitioners of the arcane made him weary since all they ever wanted to do was experiment on him after they discover his natural speed. He was used to peopleâs reaction to his gift thinking that it was some sort of magic trick.
âNope, youâre getting all me pal.â Sonic said as they all look surprised. Before Grey could respond, they all hear the door to the cargo open. Sonic turns around as both Grey and Leven rush over and hide him behind them.
âDonât say a word.â Grey said as Sonic stays perfectly still hearing footsteps approach.
âWhatâsss going on in here?â Sonic recognized that voice as the serpent who forced his hand into surrendering.
âHâŠhey Jorah. Leven and I were just settling some differences in opinion we had the other day by duking it out.â Grey lied as Leven looks at Grey and then back at Jorah.
âIs thisss true Leven?â Jorah asked looking the two up and down suspiciously.
Leven quickly nodded as he began to sign. âWe were just letting out some frustration when I knocked Grey into one of the crates and it broke.â
Jorah looks past them at the broken crate and then looks at both of them. âThe crate isss coming out of your cut.â He said as they both nod. âAnd next time you two want to fight it out you need to run it by the Captain. You know hisss rulesss.â
âYes sir⊠wonât happen again.â Grey said, as Jorah turns around to leave.
âClean up that messs and the ressst of you, get back to work.â He starts to walk out.
They all wait to hear the door close letting out a relieved sigh. âSorry about thatâŠâ Sonic said quietly as everyone starts moving towards the broken crate to clean up. Now he felt bad that they got in trouble because of him.
âDonât sweat it, this was my idea anyway.â Grey said as Sonic goes over to help. âBut back to what ya just did⊠that wasnât magic?â
âNope,â Sonic said as all of the crew looked at him in disbelief.
âThen how were you in one place and then another so fast?â Scaro asked. Now that the cat was out of the bag Sonic didnât feel there was any reason to deceive them. They all did just hide him from getting into trouble... Not knowing how Shadow would react to this little match.
âIâm just that fast. My uncle said Iâm probably the fastest thing alive.â Sonic chuckles proudly. âI move so quickly it almost seems like magic.â
âThatâs crazy,â Scaro said, âNo wonder you were all over the place when we took your ship.â They finished cleaning up as Leven hands Sonic one of the oranges that wasnât squished. He smiles before taking it from him signing a thank you.
âYeah, it wasnât against you Grey, but my priority was making sure my crew was alright.â Sonic said walking over and grabbing his frock. âShould probably get back to my cell before someone notices Iâm gone.â He didnât want any of them getting into any more trouble.
âIâll take him back,â Grey said as the others all nod before they start to disperse now that the mess was cleaned. Sonic follows after Grey quietly. âWhyâd he give ya the fruit?â
âHuh? Oh, I think heâs worried since I havenât been eating.â Sonic said quietly. Grey ponders for a moment remembering what he had said to him the first day about the food looking back at him.
They enter the room as Sonic walks into his cell closing the door behind him. He lets out a yawn before sitting down. âBesides that close call, which was fun.â Sonic smiles at Grey who looks away from him. He wondered how this small Hedgehog was able to get in his head. Was this why Leven warmed up to him so quickly?
âYeah,â Grey said locking the door, âGet some sleep.â He leaves the room in a hurry as Sonic looks at the closed door confused before shrugging it off and going back to sleep.

If you're taking requests for Gelphie snippets, can I please suggest a werewolf/hunter one? Up to you who's who but I was thinking with Elphaba as like a rare and powerful green werewolf.
Love your work!
like elphie is a wolf and glinda is a hunter? hmmm. let me see what i can come up with
---
Dirt. Trees. The scent of day-old rain.
The ground is still soft beneath her paws as Elphaba lifts her nose and takes another sniff of the air. Apprehension crawls down her spine, making her tail stiff and her claws dig into the soggy earth.
There's no trace of human on the wind.
Still, Elphaba proceeds with caution. Her dark fur blends well with the foliage, her emerald eyes scouting the path for danger. She moves with fluid ease, quick but quiet.
She's nearly to the clearing.
Elphaba finds the break in the trees just as the moon reaches its highest point, shining with too much light through the gap in the branches. She lingers in the shadows at the edge, pacing anxiously as she waits.
And waits.
And waits.
Hours seem to pass, although the moon barely budges, before the wind shifts and the bushes part, and Elphaba's heart nearly stops beating in her chest.
She smells her first. The stench of wolfsbane and the sharp sting of a blade. Her hackles rise against her will, and she swallows a growl as the human--no, the hunter--steps into the light.
Unlike Elphaba, there is no fear or wariness. The hunter is not afraid to be seen or caught out in the open. She is a wisp of a thing, dainty and small, with pale skin and a shimmering dress that floats on the breeze. A smile curls the corner of her glossy lips as her delicate fingers dance along the edge of a dagger.
Glinda Upland is a vision in silver and rose. As deadly as she is beautiful.
"There you are," she croons, eyes twinkling with delight. "Come on out where I can see you."
Elphaba doesn't even try to stop the growl that rolls from her tongue. This is the woman she's spent the better part of the year running from. This is the person responsible for Nessa's fate. This is the person she loathes, more than anyone in the world.
(this is the person she once loved, more than anyone in the world)
The shadows make Elphaba's fur look almost black, but the moonlight reveals its true nature, the brilliant green unnatural and shocking. Like a poison dart frog or a coral snake. A warning.
Elphaba is deadly too.
And tonight, in the clearing where they'd once shared secrets and love, Elphaba is going to kill Glinda.
Even if it's the last thing she does.

Today in... teecup gets distracted and stopped writing for today.
Sooooo... page 21 of AltaĂŻr's Codex had this as part of the 'poison blade' upgrade

And me being me...
I sorta felt this sense of familiarity with the leftmost flower.

It might be wolfsbane.
And I know what you're going to say.
"teecup, it can be foxglove too."
Which is a valid alternative.

But I honestly like to think it's wolfsbane due to the leaves but also because I am bias lol
The middle right flower might be Poinsettia though...

#not sure what's the bottom left and rightmost though#the stem could be the extraction of the sap from the rightmost though#teecup why are you would you immediately think of wolfsbane?#idk it just popped out of my head#assassin's creed#teecup analyze more than necessary

đđđđđđđ (đđđđđđđđ đđđđđđđđ 02)
Oh glorious oneâoh offspring of gold and of the sun, oh eldest of my daughters and her sisters. With her fists full of daisies and thorns and her blouses of lace and chiffon. Beloved one with long, elegant hands and a smile inspired by the sharpest of blades. The one who sleeps but never dreams and who would never dare ignore me or cower from my touch, but who does not know I exist. A child who covets her mother and envies those who can see her often, let alone at all.Â
How she walks on her toes across warm wooden floorboards and captures the light that glares from windows and prisms, kaleidoscopes throughout the corridor. How the steam from the tea kettle intertwines with her flowing hair which curls and falls below the waist. Daughter of the haughty and arrogant, one of vice and virtue and malice and mercy.Â
Though I adore you, I could never consider tearing you from this world of concrete and ice when you crack its very foundations and bring on early springs. Your vivid countenance, while admirable and agreeable to all, would cause my realm to shudder and melt, as reds and blues and tones of citrus would bleed into all that I have cleansed and kept proper and prepared.Â
Unlike your sisters, you are not malleable and complacent. Although you worship meâif you were to discover my true intentions, you would fight me until your very last breath. You will breathe only sunflowers and snapdragons, and nothing of foxglove and wolfsbane.
In the end, you will stand in the soot and the charred remains of my design and you will be a brilliant phoenix, filled with cold fury and remorse and distilled horror over what I have done. And I will not ask for forgiveness, for forgiveness is for the pious and self righteous. I am not disillusioned by my significance for I know I am the greatest form of significance you will ever know. The night one such as you will start to dream will be the beginning of the end of your oblivion.
