crying and sobbing at work right now

you write them so beautifully I CANTTTT

“A Dummies Guide to Dating a Werewolf” by Angel Shaw

I could not get this idea out of my head so here we go

Sam observed the rambunctious room around him in silence, his frame partially hidden by the shadow of the corner. It wasn’t often he attended pack meetings with Darlin, so he took the opportunity to watch the pack’s seemingly everyday dynamic.

He watched with silent amusement as Asher and Milo pestered Darlin relentlessly, working tirelessly to turn their seemingly permanent scowl into a smile. To those nearby, Darlin seemed irritated. Completely unfazed by the attempts to get them to crack a smile.

But to those who knew them well, Sam included, the smallest upturn of their lips was enough to let them know they were struggling.

Sam was broken from his thoughts as a small figure approached, a small spring in their step. Angel skipped over to him, a bright smile on their lips.

Sam hadn’t interacted much with the Alpha’s mate, but he knew they were often dragging Darlin around with them and for that Sam was grateful. Seeing Darlin actually get out and do things with their pack took a weight off of Sam’s chest, and with the way David watched the two when they were together he could gather he felt the same.

Angel stopped in front of him, a book like object clutched tightly in their grasp. Their smile was so bright Sam had to take a moment to blink before he offered one of his own, albeit not nearly as bright.

“Ah, Sam, I’m so glad you’re here!” Though their tone was boisterous not a single person stopped their own conversation to look over at the two. Before Sam could offer a word of his own Angel thrust the book they had in their hands into is arms.

“Here! It’s a welcome gift now that you’re officially apart of the pack! I meant to give it to you sooner but it’s been ages since I’ve been able to see you!”

“That’s mighty kind of you.” Sam drawled, running his thumb over the cover material, taking a moment to read the title.

‘A dummies guide to dating a werewolf’

It took every ounce of strength in Sam’s to not wheeze at the title. In a smaller font near the bottom the words ‘By Angel Shaw’ were scrawled out.

“Some of the other mates figured you may need a bit of a hand adjusting to pack life.” They spoke with a wink.

There a was a shrill noise of protest behind the two and they both turned to see Darlin gripping Asher and Milo by the backs of their shirts, holding them off the ground. A dangerous and mischievous smirk painted Darlin’s face as Asher and Milo pleaded for mercy, their mates all but rolling on the ground in laughter.

Sam couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Darlin being more open and playful with the pack. Angel, clearly wishing to join in on the fun, was quick to shoot Sam a smile and a hurried goodbye before bouncing over to the group.

Sam let out a chuckle before turning his gaze back to the book, curious of its contents. The book was relatively thick. Was there really that many secrets in the dating world of the wolves?

————————————————————————

Tip #6 - There is a sweet spot behind the ear (they will immediately fall over so be mindful of where you are)

Despite what most would think, Darlin could be quite cuddly and touchy. Because of this there weren’t many places on the two of them that the other had yet to explore (*cough**cough*).

Sam listened as the noise of the shower turned off, letting him know his Darlin would be out soon. Sam placed the last of his folded clothes into their respective drawers, sitting on the edge of his bed and watching the bathroom door expectantly.

The bathroom door swung open, a bit of steam escaping as Darlin stepped out into bedroom. Their hair was a bit damp, but not so much so that there was any risk of it getting anything wet. Their loose sweatpants were riding dangerously low, their shirt lifted up as they scratched at an itchy spot on their chest.

Sam took in a sharp breath, watching the muscles on their stomach move as they walked toward him. (#beefcakedarlinforthewin)

Darlin allowed their shirt to fall back into place as they stood between Sam’s legs, a hand working its way through his hair. Sam let out a satisfied hum, his hands working their way up the wolf’s sides, feeling the tight muscles beneath his fingers.

“Well aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” Sam’s voice was gravely as he pulled Darlin ever closer, resting his chin on his mates hard chest and gazing up at them.

Darlin chuckled and Sam’s heart leaped to his throat. The shifters other hand worked it’s way into the vampire’s hair tugging lightly. “I could say the same thing for you, cowboy.”

Sam let out a sigh, melting into Darlin’s touch as his eyes trailed their body. His sharp gaze raked over their exposed neck, chest aching at the sight of the scarred skin. Abandoning the dreary thoughts, Sam allowed his hand to reach up and cup Darlin’s face. The wolf’s eyes closed as they leaned into his touch, chest rumbling in pleasure.

Sam trailed up their face, fingers scratching behind his lovers ear. When their noises of pleasure increased Sam allowed himself to press down on the spot a bit harder, only for him to take the full weight of his mate as their body fell limp.

The breath was knocked out of Sam’s lungs as Darlin crashed down onto him, forcing his body flat against the bed. The vampires arms came up, wrapping around his mate and holding them tight to his body so they didn’t slide off.

‘I didn’t think it would be that effective’ Sam thought as he took in a deep breath.

Darlin’ was completely out, eyes closed and body relaxed, chest rumbling in what could only be described as a purr.

Sam pulled himself up the bed, tugging Darlin’ along with him, and settled down. Sam’s hand found Darlin’s hair, combing through it. Maybe this book had some secrets after all.

・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．

Tip #9 - Silverware does not work like the media portrays it

Sam chuckled at that one, he could only imagine the trial and error that Angel went through to test that out.

・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．

Tip #13 - Anything small and prey like that they haven’t bonded with is fair game

Tip #14 - They always aim for the throat

Tip #15 - They WILL eat what they catch

Sam laughed as Darlin’ went barreling through yet another pile of leaves, the dead plants crunching beneath their paws.

The shifter tumbled through the multi-colored piles, the occasional happy whine slipping out. Sam smiled fondly, he could sit here and watch his Darlin enjoy themselves all day.

As the giant white wolf charged at yet another pile, a much smaller blur of brown shot out of it. Sam’s keen eyes followed the rabbit closely, watching it flee for its life, but he wasn’t the only one.

Darlin was quick to turn, skidding on leaves as their giant paws scrambled for a hold. The shifter’s powerful legs pushed off the earth and Darlin was on the rabbit in a moment.

Sam had never seen a shifter hunt an animal before, he figured it just wasn’t something they did or needed to do. He watched in awe as Darlin snapped up the rabbit with ivory teeth, ending it as quickly and painlessly as possible with a swift bite to its neck.

The white wolf turned back to Sam, bounding over with the limp rabbit as their tail curled over their back with pride. Darlin dropped the rabbit at Sam’s feet, looking down at Sam expectingly.

While it wasn’t that uncommon for vampire to drink animal blood for a snack or use it to hold them over, Sam had just fed before they came out. Sam held up his hands to the wolf.

“Thanks Darlin, but I just ate. It’s all yours.”

Sam stepped back and watched in wonder as the wolf pounced on their catch, white jaws quickly turning red. In only a few bites the rabbit was gone, leaving nothing behind.

Sam reached forward, gently taking the wolf’s massive head in his hands, mindful of the blood.

“You just keep on surprising me, don’t you Darlin?” Sam asked, recoiling with a small laugh when he received a bloody kiss on the cheek.

・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．

Tip #18 : They will bring you gifts that they think you will like, it’s best to just accept them. No matter how strange.

Darlin wove between trees, keen eyes following the mapped out route in their head as they raced on.

Sam had been helping William close on a few properties, so Darlin had decided to take a run while they waited. They never were one to like to listen to business chatter. They could handle it when it had to do with Shaw Security or the pack, but that was about all they could take.

Darlin could see the beginning of a hill, the ground slopping away and disappearing from the wolf’s sight. Just as Darlin reached the beginning of the descending slope something smooth and round caught the shifters paw, sending them tumbling down the hill with a yelp.

Once the white wolf came to a stop at the bottom of the hill, fur littered with stick and leaves, they stood, looking curiously at the back to the top of the slope. Darlin carefully made their way back up the hill, following the path their body had made in forest floor.

The light of the setting sun caught something peeking from between the leaves. The object was smooth, light oranges and pinks and white decorated the objects body. Darlin nosed away the leaves to reveal a crystal about the size of their paw.

‘Moonstone? Here?’ Darlin questioned to themselves, rolling the rounded crystal with their nose a bit. ‘Sam would like this.’ The thought seemed almost instinctive. A gift for their mate? Why not?

Darlin picked up the heavy crystal in their jaws, cringing a bit at the feeling of their teeth on the hard surface. With the sun setting it wouldn’t be long before Sam and William would be done with their work. The white wolf made a quick stop by the river to wash not only the gift but their own fur before heading to William’s impossibly large home.

When Darlin broke from the trees Sam and William were sitting on the porch, the sun was setting behind the house, leaving the porch bathed in shadows.

Sam and William watched as the colossal wolf leaped the front fence, their pace slowing as they neared the two. The two vampires could hear the clicking of something hard against the shifters teeth.

Darlin gently put the moon stone down on the porch, pushing it towards Sam and looking up at him expectingly. Sam tilted his head, bending to pick up the rock.

“Now where the hell did you get this, Darlin?”

“Moon stone.” William nods after he examines the crystal for a moment, patting the wolf’s shoulder. “Mighty nice find there. You’ve got yourself a real treasure hunter there, don’t you, Sam?”

Sam looks up, meeting the his Darlin’s eyes. He smiled as he realized what the stone was for.

“Sure do.” He hummed, laying a gentle hand on the wolf’s head.

・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．・゜゜・．

Tip #20 : It isn’t uncommon for them to shift in their sleep

Sam’s eyes blinked open when he felt a weight shift in the bed. Seeing as Darlin was no longer pressed against his back he sat up, making sure the shifter was okay.

He was met with the trembling white wolf, still asleep, but clearly having some sort of nightmare. Darlin whimpered in their sleep, ears tight to their head. Sam’s heart broke at the sound they made.

The vampire reached out a gentle hand, moving it to the spot behind Darlin’s ears. The wolf’s eyes snapped open, wild with panic, but the sight of Sam made their adrenaline slow.

Sam shushed his mate gently, soothing down their ruffled fur. “You’re safe, Darlin. I’ve got you.” He repeated it like a mantra, but it worked.

Darlin was soon back into their normal form, face buried in Sam’s neck.

“I’m sorry.” They croaked pitifully, voice breaking with the effort. Sam shushed them gently.

“Don’t apologize. It’s fine.”

He leaned himself against the head board, pulling Darlin’s weight to lean on him. That’s how they slept for the rest of the night.

Kinda felt a bit cruddy, but this is my first work on tumblr so hopefully it isn’t to terrible.

I like to think that when a member of the pack gets in trouble, it's expected for David to be mad. But when Angel is also mad, then they know they're in real deep shit

being in a creative writing class means writing shaw pack as teens fanfic and trying to keep covert in it and turning it in as an adventure story

friendly reminder that:

"Shaw" in Gaelic means wolf.

"Talbot" means light-colored breed of hound.

"Greer" means alert, watchful, and swift.

The Shaw Pack Wedding 🕊️

(Ft. My beloved @angelicaether ‘s Angel and David)

Hot Boy Honeymoon event on the Sky Side server~

This time the theme is weddings and honeymoons in honor of the pack wedding!

The things that audio made me feel was SICK I LOVED IT SO MUCH

Here’s my quick notes it—

Nothing will ever take me out quicker than Asher’s “I’m gonna be a husband!” It’s been on loop in my head since the video came out and it’s never going away

The listeners silence will never not be funny to me, I’m sorry—lowkey wish Sam was a part of the mate car tho, could’ve gotten wolf time too pleasee

Y’all heard Milo’s inner Lasko slip out there when talking about being nervous with Sam right lmaoo

Hey so fuck you David for that beautiful speech you gave Ash, I’m literally rolling on the floor choking and sobbing (It was actually his vows to Asher, if you wanted to him instead should’ve just said so /pos) that “more words” part was actually very real and hit too hard

I’m too much of a sucker for when any of the wolf boys hug

“We still got enough time for me to beat your ass and get you cleaned back up, Beta-boy” quoted at least once a day

Milo’s voice crack when he tells Asher ”I love you too, asshole, come here.” MY BOYSSS 😭

Also fuck you too Milo for the Gabe quote

More silence, but the crying and whimpers from both of them in the background please be still my heart

WE’RE MARRIEDDD‼️

Bonus of Angel and Baaabe’s vows written by Aether and yours truly—

[venuslove-28]

milo !! ft a couple diff hairstyles bc im indecisive

check out my kofi !! <3

[sweetashblog]

David would lose his fucking mind if Angel did the “Serving myself a little bit of food and telling my husband that’s all we have left” trend.

[moondustwritesblog]

*asher in a ball pit in his shifted form*

milo: how do you deal with him again?

baabe: well, he’s my husband, and isn’t he your beta?

milo, joking: not now he’s not

baabe: oh yeah?

*the both of them continue to bicker*

meanwhile

sweetheart, cloaked: you better find that ring while milo keeps them distracted, ash or i swear to god

asher, who shifts back momentarily and in a panic: i’m trying, ok?! why do you think i shifted in the first place, stealth?!

[jacks347]

I have a feeling that Babe was really nervous about integrating into the pack since they were unempowered and (depending on if you think Angel came before them or not) was the first unempowered mate or was the newest unempowered mate.

So how did they cope with this? By having a notebook full of all the little things they learned about the pack and its mates.

Pages are scattered and random, just scribbled notes whenever they hear something.

For example:

Sweetheart knows...at least two languages. Maybe more. Further testing required. Spanish was expected. Korean was not.

Pretty sure Sam only owns flannels. Definitely sure that it drives Milo crazy.

Darlin used to have a smoking habit. Doesn't like to talk about it. Probably something to do with Quinn. Still coughs like a smoker though. And carries a lighter.

David chews on his lip when he's thinking, bites his nails when nervous. Remember the difference.

Milo owns a cat!! Calls him Aggro, no idea if that's his full name or just a nickname.

Darlin does tricks with their lighter when bored. Stresses David out, thinks they're going to catch a spark on their jacket and light themself on fire. To his credit, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen.

Angel is the last to fall asleep at sleepovers. How they stay up until 3 AM then wake up at 8 being fully refreshed is worth scientific testing.

Sweetheart makes the most intense eye contact. Probably part of their investigator training but it's a little scary.

Milo judges everyone's outfit whenever they enter the room. Every time. Quick flick up and down. Head tilt if he approves. Eyebrow twitch if he doesn't.

Sam's house has no pictures of him from before the turn?? Is that a normal thing for vampires??

Angel doesn't know how to sit in a chair normally. Shocked they don't break something with some of their positions.

My babe is smart and beautiful an

redacted audio headcanons: jealousy | shaw pack edition

sam and darlin are going in the solaire clan one

david likes to think he's above such "immaturity" in his relationship with angel to get jealous. but he's not. it doesn't happen often, but when he notices the way people look at his mate, he gets so pissed. he knows that angel smiles at and is kind to almost everyone, and they love that trait in them but he honestly would like it a little more if they didn't ever smile at anyone that isn't him. like ever. they laugh at him for being so dramatic but he's like 60% serious. but other than mild irritation when angel waves excitedly at literally everyone, david hates it when they jokingly flirt with their friends/packmates. at least once a day he sees them giggling with baaabe or sweetheart either in person or on the phone and he has to fight the urge to pull them (gently) into his side and keep them there. a fight he loses more often than not if they're within arms reach. he's been known to toss their phone away from them while they whine, keeping his arms wrapped around them (and recently, absentmindedly toying with the ring on their finger). angel has taken to rubbing his arm while softly reassuring them that they're only joking and that he's the only one they love as he pouts hums into their neck.

angel gets jealous a little more often than david does. obviously, david gets a million stares whenever he steps outside. he's tall, sexy, handsome, big, all of the above, and angel knows that. those are the exact reasons why they stare. but that's them, they're david's mate. and the fact outside people think they have the right to look at what's theirs drives them insane. it's not david's fault, they don't blame or not trust him to be loyal. they just hate other people looking at him like he's a piece of meat. on a shopping spree at the mall david and angel went on, david had at least three people try and give him their number as if angel wasn't standing right there and that's not counting the hundreds of second glances he got. to which david would only flash his ring at them with a completely straight face and pull angel away. however, they had enough by the third person "accidentally" bumping into him and started making out with him in the middle of the store they were in. david didn't have many complaints, he had already seen how irritated they were getting and just suggested they leave afterwards. angel spent the entire car ride home complaining angrily about every single time someone so much as looked at him for more than two seconds. david gave them their hand to hold, barely wincing when they squeezed it as tight as they possibly could. he honestly thinks it's sexy whenever angel rants about him being flirted with, he can't help but smirk when he asks what he should do about it. he offers to tattoo their name on his forehead, let them bite him everywhere that's visible hard enough to leave a bruise, punch anyone who dares to even breathe near him etc. and in the moment, angel would prefer watching david spit in peoples' faces but they know he can't do that. so they resort to the bites option. everywhere.

asher gets jealous once in a blue moon. most of the time when baaabe talks about other people being interested in them he's just using it as an opportunity to flex that he's the one actually in bed with his mate. he says things like "and i'm the one you come home to at the end of the day" with the widest smile on his face. asher always talks about being so lucky to bag someone like baaabe instead of focusing on being overly protective over what's his. still, there have been more than a few times where asher can't hide the annoyance he feels when it comes to baaabe spending time with other people as opposed to him. baaabe spends a little too much time talking about the work parties they go and people they talk to without him and he starts pouting. only slightly, but baaabe notices and they laugh a little. they run their fingers through his hair when he starts dramatically sulking about people trying to "take them away from him", letting him get it out of his system before they reassure him firmly but kindly that no one could ever replace him. and asher usually recovers by that moves on. despite not being jealous often, asher still gets possessive with holding onto baaabe in public and obviously staking his claim on them subtly. it doesn't happen often, but if there was ever a moment where someone tried to "take" his mate from him, they would find themself of the wrong end of a wolf's teeth.

baaabe shows jealously just as much as asher does, not a lot but not never. asher is very friendly and he talks to everyone about anything. some people appreciate this on a surface level, but others sometimes try to take it in a way that was never intended. asher has had people blatantly flirt with him due to this but he just pretends to not notice until baaabe comes to save him. most of the time baaabe isn't bothered enough to feel negatively about it, choosing to be amused by it. but there are times where they feel uncharacteristic anger when they see someone making an obvious move on their mate or he talks about someone a little too much/kindly. to which they go to play save a hoe a little faster, pulling asher away a little harder or subconsciously frowning. asher takes baaabe's jealously very seriously, knowing that they spiral easily when they feel like this. he showers them in affection for a while until he's sure they're fine. baaabe recovers fairly quickly as long as they get to snuggle up to ash for a little bit.

milo has definetly threatened to kill someone for sweetheart. he's very possessive but in a "never touch my mate" way instead of being mad at sweetheart themself for being around others. sweetheart didn't think he was overly possessive when at first but once within the first year of their relationship, they mentioned a coworker flirting with them and milo went deathly silent before he growled. sweetheart laughed at him because they were caught off guard but milo was genuinely ready to fight someone. milo has a love hate relationship with people appreciating sweetheart. he knows damn well his mate is attractive and he believes that people can appreciate that, but he hates it when anyone at all flirts with them in any capacity. he feels his eyes twitch when even packmates make small comments about them jokingly flirty. he'll laugh and tell whoever to back off under the guise of a joke but sweetheart can tell he's genuinely irritated. when he gets the chance he'll pull them as close to him as possible and rub his hands wherever on sweetheart's body they were touched by anyone else. they let him because they think it's both funny and cute as well as enjoying the feeling of being "claimed". but sweetheart "brat" greer never passes up an opportunity to tease him about it which only leads to milo taking his jealously out on them in the bedroom.

sweetheart doesn't get as jealous as milo does as often. milo is a pretty social guy and is a natural charmer so they understand why people would be interested in him. and they love showing off the fact that he only ever has eyes for them. then again, on the worse days, they can't help but feel jealous when milo doesn't pay as much attention to them. sweetheart is a very expressive person facially, so their expression shows their annoyance before they can even verbalize it. still, they'll pretend they haven't even noticed milo talking to someone else, brushing him off in their typical petty manner. milo notices them sulking in a corner for presumably no reason, but because he can read them like a book, he figures it out soon enough. he pokes a little fun at them to which they only sulk harder, turning away from him and telling him to go back to whoever is so much more important than them. milo finds them adorable when they're (minorly) upset with him so he wraps his arms around their shoulders, working the tension out so they can relax while he whispers apologies in their ear for ever making them jealous. that they'll always be his top priority, that they can always prove who he belongs to in front of everyone. sweetheart lets him do whatever and pretends they don't love hearing those words come out of his mouth while they're already planning every single hickey they're gonna put on his body.

[grilledcheezy92]

SHAW PACK AT A HAUNTED HOUSE/ATTRACTION

Angel clings to David, hiding in his back when they end up behind him. David is tense and tight, spending half the night protecting his mate and the other half laughing at them.

Milo is cursing up a storm (mostly under his breath) the entire time. He gets targeted the most out of anyone. Half the time, it's because Sweetheart is pointing him out to the scare actors.

Asher and Baaabe are having a great time, bantering with actors. "That was a good one." When they get startled.

Sam and Darlin are the rocks of the group taking up the rear.
