ScumPlane but it's Conan AU

(SQH/SJ modern day, Detective Conan AU)

(Except SJ is the one you should be careful of :3)

Shang Qinghua was screwed. The date he had been planning for a long time was ruined.

It was supposed to be a normal, peaceful day. The weather was nice. Shang Qinghua had everything planned and even wrote an entire itinerary for his long-awaited date. He had purchased the waterpark ticket in advance, researched the nearby restaurants, and even a nice hotel, just in case… you know.

Yet luck was not on his side. He happened to bump into a couple men in black on his way to the meeting place and witnessed what was definitely an illegal transaction that possibly involved some smuggled weapons. Before he could even run and get the police, Shang Qinghua was attacked and force-fed an unknown drug which turned him into a kid.

He was alive, at least. But how was he supposed to explain this to Shen Jiu? It wasn't easy to score a date with the most popular man in his campus, no way Shen Jiu would believe that a grown up man just turned into a kid.

Someone kicked open his apartment door and Shang Qinghua shrieked.

Shen Jiu walked in with his heels clicking. He took one glance at Shang Qinghua and scowled. "What in the world happened to you?"

Shang Qinghua blinked. He pointed at himself. "Eh? Ehh?? You know it's me? Wait, how do you - why are you here? How?!"

Shen Jiu took out his phone and showed his call history. "You didn't answer your call."

“Well, my voice-"

"Knowing you, I'd have to consider the possibility of you dropping dead from MSG and caffeine overdose, before I make my conclusion," Shen Jiu said.

Shang Qinghua cried. He couldn't believe it! For hours he had been in despair thinking about how there was no way he could convince anyone about the reality behind his current disaster. "How did you recognize me?"

"You don't look all too different." Shen Jiu sat down. “You and me… we've been estranged from our families for years. Having any young relative nearby is close to impossible for us. More importantly - who else knows the passcode to your apartment, except you and me?”

A sad reality for them but it was true. When Shang Qinghua and Shen Jiu first met, they somehow bonded over their common background. Both were alone and had been abandoned by their birth families. Shen Jiu grew up in an orphanage and Shang Qinghua spent his childhood being tossed back and forth between divorced parents who didn’t fight for his custody.

"Also,  I recognize that birthmark on your shoulder," Shen Jiu smirked.

Shang Qinghua’s face instantly flushed red. He recalled the day they hooked up for the first time, Shen Jiu had sunk his teeth into his shoulder, right next to his birthmark.

"Well? Tell me," Shen Jiu demanded.

Shang Qinghua relayed the chronology of the event and detailed everything he saw as well. By the end of it, Shen Jiu looked absolutely furious.

"I'm going to kill them," Shen Jiu hissed.

Shang Qinghua secretly thanked the heavens for giving him such a reliable boyfriend. As to how Shen Jiu would decimate people who could potentially be part of some dangerous organization… well, he was sure Shen Jiu would have his way.

Naughty November Day 14

And we're diving head first into the spicy stuff today! Day 14 of my version of Kinktober brings us: Incest - Handcuffs - Size Difference Hold onto your butts and I hope you enjoy!

"I leave for a weekend, and come back to find you balls deep in that slut?!?" Kim's voice was cold, sucking the heat from Bonnie and Ron's afterglow.

"Ronald Stoppable," Kim let the cuffs she'd been hiding drop into view, "looks like you need to be punished."

Legs hooked over Elsa's from behind, Anna held her sister's legs open. Kissing the side of her neck while she played with her titties she murmured. "Just wait. You're gonna love it. I know it!"

Anna's skin a burning heat against her own, Elsa nodded to Santiago. "I'm ready."

Being ridden in the back of a Razorback, wasn't at all how you'd expected to spend your evening. Linda had other plans. Using the support frame to keep most of her weight off you, the Spartan demonstrated incredible bodily control. Especially when she started cumming!

The only reason this worked was because Lina could fly. Trusting Roshan to actually fuck her would've been suicide, but controlling her own pace let her fuck herself silly without worry.

Roshan didn't know what to make of it all. Didn't stop him enjoying her efforts though!

After the last subject was finished and the royal gangbang was officially over, nobody actually left. They might not be touching them anymore, but watching Elsa and Anna lick each other clean was the sort of after party the entire town could get behind!

Looma might stand head and shoulders above Ben… when she was standing. Down on all six, the warrior woman struggled to keep her chest off the ground as Ben's pounding cock drove her to climax after climax.

What was hard under Ben, was impossible under Four Arms. She collapsed!

Diana practically buzzed with excitement as she came in for landing on Paradise Island. She hadn't been home in what felt like an age.

Hippolyta was there to greet her daughter wearing nothing but a smile, with wine in one hand and her newly commissioned strap on in the other.

It cost Tadashi a month's savings, but his date was worth it. The restaurant was classy, fancy, even elegant.

The way Cass rubbed his cock under the table was anything but.

By the time she pulled him into the bathroom, he was about ready to rip her dress off. She loved it!

Barda might tower over Jimmy Olsen standing up, but everybody's the same height when they're on their back, and once he had her there, her size was nothing compared to 'his'. Holding her own legs apart, Barda lost her voice long before Jimmy was done with her.

It was risky. You both knew it. Which was what made your cousin locking her legs around your hips, pulling you in as she said, "breed me, bitch" hit so fucking hard!

You came, hips bucking and back arching. You came so hard you saw fucking stars! And she screamed for more!

Using the handcuffs on herself was hardly a traditional interrogation technique. But Caitlyn wasn't using the traditional playbook. Cuffed to the chair, body exposed for the gang to use, she looked harmless.

A hour later, she toweled off and told Vi. "Shipment comes in next week."

[justifiedmeans]

Justified Means Tweetfics

A few tweetfics I threw together as a warm up for working on the newest chapter of Justified Means. Was a lot of fun to get back into Shepard's head for these. Hope you enjoy!

Liara wiggled her ass, shaking my cock from side to side, spreading the cum she'd just earned all across her lower back. I laughed. "You look good like that."

"How good?" She asked, still wiggling, "Jack's trying to talk me into a tramp stamp there. Maybe I'll get 'cum here'."

"Mmm, I'm a mess!" Leaning against the headboard, Kasumi's fingers explored deeper into her cunt. "Guess it's a good show."

"Glad you're enjoying yourself, you'll be here soon enough." I said, pounding deeper into Miranda.

Kasumi looked at Miranda's expression. "Can't wait!"

"Focus. You can't always rely on raw power." Given that it was my balls in her biotic grip, I fully endorsed Samara's advice.

"I am focusing." Jack snarled. "Just a bit hard with your thumb up my ass!"

Samara sniffed. "Focusing through distractions is an important skill."

Kelly'd worn a lot of slutty outfits for me. On Illium it was a jacket over a fishnet top and shorts so tight I could see the plug's outline.

On Omega the jacket was gone and the shorts became a skirt.

The smuggler was too busy looking at her to notice I was underpaying him.

"Shepard, Agent Goto has returned to the ship. She is on her way to -"

"She's already here, EDI." Even as I said it, Kasumi flickered into view, starting at the heat that had just enveloped my naked cock and radiating out from there. She winked, and sucked me a little deeper.

Cupping Samara's cheek in her hand, Liara kissed her. Samara moaned into that kiss, and Liara threw me a smug look. "Good, isn't he?"

Samara might have centuries of experience, but Liara and I had been sharing partners since the first Normandy. Samara never stood a chance.

Holding tight to Jack's head, I drove my cock forward, pounding her throat. She choked, spluttered, gagged and growled, but she took it. When I finally pulled back enough to breath, she spat, coughed and snarled: "That the best you fucking got?"

She knew what I liked to hear.

My cock between their tits and their lips on my head, Miranda and Liara angled their hips so I could finger them as they worked. Liara was a mess, and getting wetting with every stroke. Miranda was more controlled. At least, till I stuck my thumb in her ass. That got her leaking!

Miranda straddled my head, her pussy pressed against my lips. She was soaked. No surprise considering the pounding I'd just given her. "How do I taste?"

I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or Jack until I felt the other woman's lips tighten angrily around my shaft.

Maybe it was the weight of over a century of self restraint crashing down all at once, or perhaps being around me and the girls was too much for her, but when Samara finally ended up in my bed, it wasn't a refined Justicar who pounced on my dick, it was a sex starved super slut!

I'd only done this once or twice before, and both those times it'd been with a strap on. The difference between silicone and flesh and blood was staggering.

I was powerless to stop myself from cumming all over my own chest. Blushing with pride, Crystal increased her pace.

A few strokes was all it took to finish what they'd started, and cum erupted from my head, painting sloppy lines all over Liara's face. Jack licked the largest patch up with evident relish. "Always did like some cream with my blueberries."

Sitting in my desk chair I reviewed the latest numbers Miranda'd been able to put together on Cerberus assets in the quadrant.

Beneath my desk, Kasumi and Kelly worked together to clean the mess Miranda'd left all over my crotch when she'd delivered the report.

Miranda knew tonight was Jack's night. I knew she knew it because she'd been the one to both suggest and put together the schedule. Which was why she'd sent the vid.

On the screen Miranda turned slowly, showing off new lingerie. "If you want to change your plans."

domestic Serirei Tweetfic

In case the bird site goes down, a domestic tweetfic

"I'm out of tonkatsu sauce." It was meant to be a minor observation, just a curiosity, but it stuck in Reigen's mind. He was out of tonkatsu sauce. He only used it for one recipe, as part of the demi-glace for omurice, he only made it for Serizawa.

The dish was for those Saturdays when Serizawa came over. For those nights when talks went so late that there was no other option for Serizawa than to stay.

For Reigen to be out meant--

He collected his thoughts. The keyword had been "casual" when he and Serizawa had started this thing between them. They had agreed to keep things light since everything was new to Serizawa and Reigen still smarted from the last time someone had gotten close.

Yet somehow, somewhere, casual had gone right out the window. If Reigen considered it, there were signs of Serizawa all over his apartment. There was a toothbrush in the bathroom, a change of clothes in the closet, even a comb solely for him.

 Huh. It was amazing how things could sneak up on you. Like Serizawa snaking his arms around Reigen's waist.

"What's on your mind?" Serizawa asked.

It was a single word, one that held both adoration and snide sarcasm: "Casual."

"Ah." Serizawa buried his face in Reigen's shoulder. "You figured it out, huh?"

"Yup." Reigen shut the cabinet door.

"Do you mind?"

A question more loaded than it should have been. The only way it could be answered was with raw honesty. "No."

Serizawa hummed with happiness.

"You know," Reigen said, "I need to start cooking different stuff for you. You aren't getting enough veggies."

"Oh, darn." Serizawa wasn't disappointed at the announcement in the least.

Midnight Coward

“Reynaldo?” Laertes still hasn’t lowered his hand from the spot where Ophelia’s hand collided with his face. It hurts to meet his eyes when they’re full of so much pain, but he does anyway. “Rey, I think I’m haunted.”

He looks haunted. “How literal are we talking?”

“I can’t remember who told me dad had been killed, I just knew I had to come back here on the fastest ship they had. And I — I see him sometimes dragged across the floor, but it’s not blood he trails, it’s streamers, and it’s awful!”

Rey takes his free arm and trails fingertips along the skin until he stops shaking, or until he shakes a little less. It’s all he can think of.

Laertes looks down at a watch that won’t stop ticking. “I just. Think we’ve all been here before.”

Battle of A-Yuan's

LSZ/SJ/SY

(In which Shen Jiu is sandwiched between the two A-Yuan's)

Shen Jiu frowned. One of his scrolls was missing. "A Yuan!" He called.

"Yes Shizun!"

"Yes Gege!"

Lan Sizhui and Shen Yuan glared at each other.

Shen Jiu glanced at the two youths, who rushed in as soon as he called. Right, he forgot to specify which, huh. Lan Sizhui was no longer using his childhood name in most occasions yet he still appeared as fast as lightning if Shen Jiu ever uttered it.

“Lan Shixiong, he's obviously calling for me," Shen Yuan forced a polite smile. "Isn't your name Sizhui?"

Lan Sizhui returned it with the same tenacity. "My birth name is also A Yuan, and Shizun has always called me that from the day he took me in."

"You're not the first 'A Yuan' he would think of, don't you agree?"

“What makes you think you’re the only ‘A Yuan’ he thinks of?”

Shen Jiu rolled his eyes. "I don't care which one of you, but I do need my scroll-"

"I will look for it, Gege," Shen Yuan smiled sweetly. "In fact, why don't you let me organize everything for you from now on?"

"Not to offend, but Yuan Shidi can be scatterbrained sometimes. Shizun has always praised my organizing skills, why not leave the task to me?" Lan Sizhui suggested.

Shen Jiu rubbed his temples and sighed. These two normally were never confrontational and would avoid fighting at all costs. Yet why were they arguing over something so stupid?

“Again, I don't care who does it. In fact, why don't you both go and find the scroll for me," Shen Jiu said and returned to his work.

The two disciples fell silent. Shen Jiu raised his eyebrows. These two silly boys. Why were they still waiting there?

"Must I smack the two of you with my fan for you to move?" Shen Jiu raised an eyebrow.

The two looked at each other, then stared back at Shen Jiu.

"I'll get gege's favorite fan."

"The bamboo patterned one, Shen Shixiong. That one feels better."

"Hmph, I know."

Shen Jiu: ....

These two little shits would only work together to do things that annoy him!

[luxuriousmalfoy]

guys i am this close to starting a hsmtmts tweetfic... be careful all i need is one word of encouragement

[spectresbase]

Naughty November Day 16 + 18

Belated up load of some tweetfics. Forgot about Thankgiving when doing my math, so ended up merging a few days together. These combined themes were: Corruption - Business People - High Heels - Religious - Redhead - Muscles Enjoy the preview and read the rest below: Pulling her mouth off his cock with a sloppy *POP* Miranda arched her back, bending backwards to grab her own heels as she thrust her chest towards him. Just in time! Cum erupted from his head, ropy strands arcing out to splash in sticky ribbons squarely between her breasts.

Battles between cults were hardly uncommon, but rarely were they fought like this. Disguised, Xenerah let the enemy acolyte she'd been fucking slump in exhausted defeat and checked her people's progress. Her satisfied smile glistened with cum. Another temple had been converted.

Locked out of the fun but not out of earshot because Allura, the bitch, had left her mic on the whole time, Mira was in a state. By the time 626 returned to the ship, she was face down on the couch, fingers blasting her soaked twatt in a futile attempt to sate her need.

Linda was the UNSC's top scout, but even the best could get unlucky. Her bad luck dropped her right in the middle of a gang of naked Brutes. Killing them would be loud and alert the enemy. And it was shame to let those massive cocks go to waste. She'd subdue them another way.

Not everybody would like a lover able to lift not only them, but them and the bench they were sitting on. Ben wasn't most people. Looma curled the wooden platform, each set bringing Ben and his dick up into kissing or sucking range. Most fun Ben had ever had working out!

What started as a simple dare has spiraled into something Aether neither knows how to control, nor has any desire to. His addiction to cock has led to him deepthroating anybody who asks, caring more about getting to gag on their salty cum than he did about even his own reputation.

The bet was simple: If Lina made it across the bar in ballet heels, the bar cleared her tab.

If she overestimated her balance though and fell, she had to finish her walk on all fours, subjected to catcalls and insults. Considering how wet the idea made her, she won either way.

The ink hadn't even dried on the contract before Bruce Wayne had Emma Frost up on his desk, ripping her shirt open to nip at the slope of her breasts while she worked his belt free. Their sex was raw, aggressive and selfish. Just like the negotiations had been.

Mara's red gold hair fell in a curtain around Prelan's face, blocking out all but her as she leaned down to kiss him. Her hips ground against his in the slow, supremely self satisfied rolls of a woman coming down from a mighty climax and eager to enjoy every last aftershock.

You'd been a loyal cleric for over a decade. A stalwart servant of your god who'd taken pride in your faith. And all it took for you to abandon that faith was the slap of Remiel's divine shaft as it landed atop your upturned face. You were his long before he entered you.

When Spartan-058 failed to report in, a team was sent to find her. What they found instead was discarded Mjolnir armor, and a helmet recording showing the snipers not so slow decent into a Brute cock slut, culminating in her bathing in a shower of cum as she renounced the UNSC.

Heels weren't a common sight among Quarian culture, and it took Tali a little while to get the hang of walking in them. Shepard's reaction when she strutted into his cabin though made every embarrassing trip and fall more than worth it.

His cum soon sprinkled the boots.

With Lilo away at camp for a few weeks, Nani had to find something to occupy Stitch's time or else he'd do nothing fuck her stupid.

Maybe she could use that.

Counting the cash, she smirked as Kalani screamed and squirted all over the van's floor. Another satisfied costumer.

She was adept at countless interrogation techniques, yet you were fairly certain that the slow crushing of your head between Natasha's thighs had a lot less to do with getting information than it did with the heat you felt growing against the back of your neck.

When they'd started spitroasting her, all Cass was thinking about was escape. As climax after climax wore away at her self control though, she started to think less of freedom, and more of just what she could do to keep this Nightkin hard until Six eventually 'saved' her.

The buisnessman who'd hired her for the night hadn't so much as touched Mercy. Not even a finger. They'd been too busy emptying his balls into her high heels. Now, as she tipped the shoe back to drink her the creamy load, his fingers started to stroke anew.

Sue stripping out of the elegant gown and designer bra without stumbling in her heels was the second most impressive thing Johnny had seen that night.

The first was the way she was balancing on just one of those heels as she fucked him in a standing splits against the door.

Going undercover as a Nun brought back memories of just how repressed life in a convent could make a girl. Leia Mayson'd never been quite this horny, but there'd been times she hadn't been far off from the trio of sisters all eagerly slurping their way along her massive cock.

After admiring each other's muscles in the Gym, it wasn't long before She-Hulk and Thor took their admiring glances back to the bedroom for a different kind of workout.

Floors cracked and walks splintered under the power of their combined lust. The hotel sued for damages.

It hadn't been a direct path, or an immediate one, but by the time Shepard's coup put him in the Illusive Man's chair, the hero the galaxy knew was gone.

Two fingers in Miranda's cunt, he reviewed the report she held while a collared Maya Brooks and Aria licked his cock clean.

Untitled “Inside Job” fic

A tweetfic I wrote before starting Season 2, cross-posting here:

Loyalty was something that Reagan thought she had understood, but years of working for a shadowy government agency hadn’t prepared her for the real thing.  It wasn’t until one morning in March when Brett handed her a coffee, made just the way she liked it, that she really recognized it.

“Has anyone ever told you, you’re like a human golden retriever?” Reagan asked.

Brett’s smile was bright as always.  “Not this week.”

“Huh.”  It was a slight chuckle, but it was more than Reagan usually laughed.  At least, not maniacally.  God it was nice hanging out with a guy she was comfortable with, one with no weird expectations.

“I’m hot, right?” Reagan asked, plagued with the sudden insecurities that struck her without warning.  

“Oh yeah,” Brett said, casual, noncommittal.  “Not my kind of hot,” he clarified, he didn’t want anything to get awkward.  

“What is your kind of hot?”  This line of gossip was far more amusing to her this morning than dealing with angry lizard people.  They could wait to get their monthly offering of blood, this was potentially hilarious.

The question made Brett frown.  “I don’t think I actually know.”

“Probably anyone who’s genuinely nice to you,” Reagan muttered under her breath.  The sad thing was, it was probably true.  For as much of a people pleaser as he could be, Brett had as much trouble making human connections as Reagan.

Brett sighed, a dreamy little sigh of a sigh.  “Yeah.”  The guy could be without shame sometimes, it made Reagan a little envious.

Feeling generous this morning, Reagan said, “How about this?  If you don’t find a girlfriend in the next two years, I’l build you one.”

Brett’s eyes narrowed.  “Will this robot go crazy?”

Reagan sputtered, indignant.  “That was one time–”

“I think there were two–” Brett corrected.

“Look,” she said, “I wouldn’t base this one off anybody specific.  How about that?  Reduce the chance of going into Terminator-mode.”  

Brett grinned.  “Sounds great.  So, do I get to pick anything out–”  

“No,” Reagan snapped.  How dare he question her tastes?  “It’d be a surprise.”

“Okay.”  There Brett sat, completely without guile, without any protest, just happy for the positive attention.

Reagan sipped her coffee.  Yeah, this was the good stuff.  

As they started the day’s briefing, Reagan considered how Brett’s loyalty might get him killed someday.  Then, she wondered, what exactly were the ethics of cloning a friend, and who would try to stop her.

She took another sip of coffee.  Hmmmmm.
