Fic rec of the day is the ongoing Stranded by The_Absent_Minded_One on Ao3

I can't stand people who say they are a freak, but only the sanitized version of a freak.

C'mon. Ship something that you wouldn't condone in real life, try a kink- fictionally or otherwise- that you might not normally like, look over a darkfic or whump fic with a character you particularly dislike- or like, draw something that puts shame in your cheeks, identity with or as an animal, identity with an xenogender or mogai, make up your own gender! Try something a little freak-ish <3

Elain: I can hear your heart beating

Lucien:

[distressed-bird]

it is important that Parkour Civilization 2 is about yaoi and trust instead of classism and systematic oppression because Parkour Civilization 1 can not only be an example of the pitfalls of a rigged meritocracy but also an example of a society that has forgone the need for community, and connection and the sequel thus allows for the rediscovery and reintroduction of community and connection that will lead to a restored-to-sustainability meritocracy

Snape sketches I did at like three in the morning (the witching hour, as they say)

And the thing is there's no way a Lucien route would satisfy the Elain we've seen growing on the books. He cannot satisfy her independence, he cannot satisfy her love for the gardens,he cannot satisfy her quiet life goals, she doesn't even need him for money, security nor building a bond with her family and you would think in the romancing and sexual tension area he'll be involved but Guess What Mimi...

[noweakergirl]

dare I say... superior trope

[jellylich-collective]

We're confused on why anti-endos seem to hate the idea of someone having headmates because they wanted to??? Like alters such as protectors, caretakers, and more are there to help the system, hence the name protectors and caretakers. If someone wants people like this in their head, why not just let them??? If it's helping them make their life better and less lonely, why get mad over it? BEING PLURAL DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY TRAUMATIC AND TERRIBLE!!

週刊プロレス, 2003/8/14, issue 1161 (can be read here for members of their mobile premium subscription)

featuring the headline of "The long awaited COMING OUT" about him and Marufuji taking over as the next generation after they became the first GHC jr tag team champs, paired with a header for an unrelated interview saying "PRIDE [as in, the MMA event] is a man's job" and KENTA's look which I can only describe as ザ・イカニモ for a 1-2-3 knockout combo of unintentional (?) implications

True Mates 🌸🗡️

"It means that he’s going ballistic in the way that only mates can when the other is threatened. It’s what happened then, and what’s happening now. You’re true mates—the way Fae are mates, in your bodies and souls. That’s what was different about your scent the other day. Your scents have merged. As they do between Fae mates."

The fact that Ruhn confirmed that Bryce and Hunt are true mates is based on how Hunt acts protective when Bryce is in danger!

_The Acting protective is one of the major hints of the mating bond, and that's how Sarah wrote the rescuing scene for Elain:

Azriel was the one who noticed Elain's absence.

He raged upon discovering she was lured by the Cauldron.

He didn't care that he might die while saving her.

He cradled her, even though he was severely injured.

He didn't care about his own injuries; instead, he wanted the chains off her.

In Silver flame the scene was mentioned many times which means it is important.

And because being protective is a major mate behavior, if Sarah wanted to hint at Az being Gwyn's mate, he would've reacted to Gwyn , just like Cass did when Nesta was taken to the blood rite. No, it doesn't matter that she's trained; being protective is a mate instinct, something he can't control, especially if she's in danger. Instead, Sarah wrote him trying to suppress his anger when he knew Elain and Nesta had a fight. His shadows wanted to attack Nesta when she hurt Elain. He didn't want her to be exposed to the danger of the dread troves, he made sure she's safe and wouldn't be kidnapped again.

As for the scent, the mating bond doesn't have a specific smell. It's just that after accepting the bond or choosing each other, as in the case of Bryce and Hunt, and then having sex, their scents merge, as Ruhn said, and as explained by Feyre when she returned to the Spring Court. They could smell Rhys's scent on her, they thought it would fade over time, it did not because it's the mating bond. So, Az being able to smell the mating bond in Lucien's presence is actually odd.

_Till now all mate like behaviors were shown between Az and Elain:

Being into each other, wanting to spend time with each other.

Discovering that she's a seer, described as a bridge between souls (which was supposed to be done by her mate).

Acting protective.

Having a high sexual attraction.

Az is an old Fae. He won't question the Cauldron, in which 'the world was born,' just because of 'lust.' I think he is aware that he has been experiencing mate-like behaviors towards Elain. After all the bond rejection mess, choosing each other, and the triumph of love, they might discover that they are ✨true mates✨.

People who compare them to Tamlin and Feyre, please, there are no similarities. Az won't keep Elain from helping the Night Court, from using her powers if she wants to. He gave her access to her seer power, he gave her his sacred dagger...
