POKESHIPPING WEEK 2024!

It's that time again, pokeshippers!

Last year, we announced that the format of Pokeshipping Week - one theme per day - was getting retired. We also said that we'd still put on a celebration of some kind going forward. Well, the time is here, and I'm happy to announce that we are planning a pokeshipping zine...next year!

If you'll forgive the bait-and-switch there, we have seriously talked about doing a zine, but time got away from us this summer. So, while we do hope to tackle that undertaking in 2025, for this year, we're planning what you might call an open Pokeshipping Week!

How does it work, you ask? Simple: over the years, you all have submitted a lot of potential themes for Pokeshipping Week. For every seven that got chosen each year, plenty were left behind. Well, now you can fill November 1 to 7 with art, fics, AMVs, GIFs, graphics, etc., all about our favorite Poke-couple, using any seven you'd like from the unused themes list.

Any and all contributions are welcome, and if they're tagged #pokeshipping week 2024, we'll reblog them here and on the main @pokeshipping blog. Besides Tumblr, we’ll keep our eyes out for the tag on Twitter and DeviantART for artwork, for fanfics on FF.Net and AO3, and for AMVs on YouTube (no NSFW, please).

The full list of unused themes (from years 2020 through 2023) is below the "Read More" break. Use, combine, and create as your heart desires, and we'll see you November 1!

[beautyconsumer]

Selkie/siren au with any of these three main ideas:

a 5 + 1 time with baby selkie Jason,

The follow up with family drama with the batfam and the Wilsons

The whump I have for Grant

Body Swap with Dick and Jason: the canon compliant angsty dramatic fic I have for them that is probably gonna be longer than I thought

A/B/O verse rewrite for the Batfam, a long series following mostly Jason and his interaction with the batfam, the rogues and his romantic interest (Grant)

Whump: write one or several of the many painful and awful ideas I have for my fav characters, mainly Grant, Jason, Bruce and the batfam

Beauty, the Dragon and the Knight: with Dick as sleeping beauty, Grant as the Knight in shining armor who intends to save the prince only to end up falling in love with the Dragon (Jason)

Teeneage Fantasy Pregnancy au where nobodies dies ever, Jason is a dragon who's adopted by Bruce who's a bat cryptid, who adopts creatures. Jason is also dating Grant (who's also a dragon) and he finds out later that he can get pregnant. Hence everyone freaking out because that is not normal among not dragons.

Summary:

Hawkins is a village in the woods. Everyone knows to be careful of wolves. To steer clear of fairy rings and elves’ trees, to carry cold iron or an offering of bread on forest paths. But in Hawkins there are tales of darker creatures. The devil is in their woods. He controls great faceless demons, eight feet tall, and hungry for blood. Grasping beasts with horrifying maws that hunt in packs and steal livestock. Monsters to frighten children and explain the rituals that drive community life. Every year, a sacrifice is made to the old gods. A sacrifice for prosperity, but also protection. No one is to leave the village after sundown. Always wear a protective amulet when in the forest. All is well in Hawkins. The rituals keep them safe. Until young Will Byers goes missing. Barbara Holland, next. Kindly tinker Bob Newby is found dead, chest ripped open on the forest edge.

On that trojan war au thing you're writing. 1. What are the tags for it, cause I'm super interested! And would love to read what you have so far! 2. "And Odysseus is a much grimmer darker man due to his home being one of the places that were first swallowed up by Erebus" - I wanna know more about this. Please tell me more.

Oh , wow, I'm so flattered! I'm very happy it sounds appealing to you <33 This work is a huge passion project of mine so I'm always glad to talk more and more about it, especially since there are many aspects occurring in the background (such as the alternate fates of the main players of the Trojan Conflict) which I cannot properly cover or even explain within the events of the novel itself.

That said: 1) If you mean tags as in ao3 - unfortunately, this work isn't on ao3 my friend :( As I said above, these are elements and concepts in the greek mythology based-fantasy novel I'm currently writing (the concept of which I outlined here in the introductory post of my novel concept!) As for wanting to read whatever writing I currently have available: I currently have three fics available on ao3 that are written in my Pursuing Daybreak verse!

The Prince and Princess series deal with a young Apollo and Artemis and the many consequences they face after Apollo has slain Python. The two works uploaded right now are Exeunt Phoebus Apollo which covers the murder trial of Python and Manent Apanchomene Artemis which covers the intense feelings of helplessness and alienation Artemis experiences after Apollo returns from his banishment and is completely changed. Both of these have themes of family, grief and relationship exploration at their heart.

The third bit of writing I have up is quite outdated but does cover the immediate aftermath of Hyacinthus' death. It's called A Petal Falleth and features Apollo making one of those Big Silly Decisions that have completely unintended but extremely important consequences: namely, instead of the larkspurs being made of Hyacinthus' spilt blood, Apollo anchors the boy's soul to the flowers so Thanatos wouldn't take him. Like the Dawn is also set in this world but because it is nsfw in nature, I wouldn't recommend it as easily as the other three bits of writing. If you don't mind the whole naked men thing though, I'd definitely suggest reading Like the Dawn for a better idea of what my current writing is like (along with eventually getting to see characters like Hector, Andromache and Cassandra/Helenus) Like the Dawn's themes are also different to the other three works with it focusing more on the power dynamics of a god/mortal relationship, exploring masculinity and masculine sexuality and self discovery.

The running theme here, of course, is that all of these bits of writing are centered on Apollo/Artemis or Hyacinth because my novel itself is centered around them. There are, of course, other important characters and figures like Eros, Psyche, Penthesilea and Iaso (one of Asclepius' daughters) but while there is the definite presence of characters from the Trojan War they most certainly aren't at the center of the novel (and the ones that are aren't the Greeks but rather the Trojans i.e Hector, Alexander, Andromache, Cassandra, Helenus, Aeneas, so on and so forth.)

2) The basis of the apocalypse in my work is cosmological! Due to Apollo's err-- untimely departure, there's no longer anyone maintaining the axis of the heavens or the navel of the earth. Because of this, Erebus - whose darkness is usually kept firmly in the spaces between the realms - begins to spill out into both the heavens and the earth. The beasts of Erebus (referring primarily to the Seven Curses - Old Age, Misery, Deceit, Violence etc etc) consume, torment and destroy whatever is inside of Erebus' darkness and Ithaca, as one of the islands on the far edge of the world, was one of the very first places that were devoured in this manner. Odysseus was visiting the Argives at the time for a festival and had left the pregnant Penelope at home since he didn't want her to suffer through the voyage in discomfort. He only finds out about the destruction of Ithaca after it had already been consumed when Athena personally interrupts a feast to warn both him and Diomedes. Needless to say, Odysseus, like everyone else, assumes that everyone on Ithaca has died and thusly is a very, very different man in terms of humour and comport. A part of him still stubbornly clings to the belief that Penelope managed to escape - that she was smart and resourceful enough to see the end approaching and do her best to escape - but that doesn't stop him from being dour for the majority of the time. Diomedes does his best to keep his spirits up in the meantime. Without him around, Odysseus is something of a black hole when it comes to the oppressiveness of his discontent though he does manage to lighten up when in the company of Helen, Clytemnestra and even Menelaus on occasion.

A/N-This one is especially indulgent for me, I fall more in love with this man every time I write him so I allowed myself the leeway to express my fantasies. I hope you all enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing!

Wandering aimlessly through the fantasy section, you take the time here to admire the intricate bindings of the novels. Fantasy was such a broad genre and you wanted to savor the section while you had the time. Breathing in slowly and letting out a long breath, you ready yourself for the next trial.

Once you've let yourself linger long enough, you decide to pull on one of the attached ladders. You slide it over, then climb as high as you can. In the other sections so far, you'd just picked randomly. But you wanted to see if something interesting lie beyond your natural reach.

Sliding out a blue and gold novel, you admire the graceful flowing script upon it. It's in a language you can't read but as you run your hand over the cover, a sense of happiness fills you. Nodding, you open the pages.

Softly singing the last line of the verse you'd created just for him, you can't help but bask in the beauty of your Prince. His beautiful bronze eyes shine with love for you as he sings out his verse to you in his rich, deep voice.

Finalizing the ceremony by slipping a shimmering ring onto your finger with his mark on it, Yeosang flutters his shimmering wings and you return the gesture as he takes your hands in his. You both rise up into the canopy of trees, letting the glimmering dust produced rain down in celebration upon your people. The sparkle from the light showering down illuminates the deep night around you.

Singing voices bless your union as he swirls you around in a graceful dance. Then he takes you in his arms and whisks you away above the canopy, finally able to join him in his treetop residence.

Landing upon the large branch that leads into what is now your bedchamber, he spins you around to place a kiss upon your forehead.

"Finally, my love. We are one for eternity." his voice murmurs against you, his timbre low. Excitement flutters within your stomach as his arms wrap around your waist, pulling you close. You can feel your wings betray you, trembling already at what is to come.

His fingers slip into your hair, cradling your head as he leans back to look down at you. "Don't be nervous, my love." he hums, his lips parting as he leans in to meet yours. Tentative at first, you gradually lean into him, your hand reaching up to cup his cheek. He sighs against your mouth, his tongue gently skimming your bottom lip.

You open to him, your own tongue seeking his. At this, he lets out a groan, his head tilting to kiss you even deeper as he runs his strong fingers down your bare back, to where your wings protrude. You sigh softly as he traces designs upon your skin around them.

You can't help but reach up to tug at his top, unfastening the shoulder clip and letting it fall to the floor. Your breath catches at the site of him bare chested in front of you, your hands traveling up his muscular body to his shoulders, eyeing every inch of bare skin.

The rumble of his low laugh has you blushing and biting your lip. "No need to be shy, my Princess. Take as long as you desire to look upon me. It pleases me to have your admiring eyes gaze at me so lovingly."

You let your eyes flick up to take in his beautiful face, his blonde locks falling into his eyes. You reach up to brush a strand back and smile coyly at him.

"Then allow me to bask in your gaze as well." you say as you step back, reaching behind to you release the one clasp holding your beaded wedding gown on. It falls to the floor with a musical tinkling and you stand before him as you extend your wings fully, your form shimmering in the moonlight.

His wings tremble as he takes in your figure, slowly raking his gleaming eyes over you. The mixture of delight, pride and lust at his reaction has your wings reacting as well, quivering to the point of lifting you off the ground slightly.

He laughs softly at your response to him and you can't help but blush shyly. His smile alone has your heart bursting as he flits over to you, taking you in his arms once more. He spins you both around and upward with the strength of his wings and you reach between your bodies to untie his loose trousers, the remainder of his clothing.

As you release them, he kicks them off, letting them flutter away into the night. You giggle as he pulls you against his nakedness, the two of you hovering over the trees as he embraces you. "My Prince." you whisper softly as he tastes your lips once more.

His mouth trails down to your neck, then your collarbone as his arm holds you tightly against him. His naked form is skin to skin with yours, his rigid length pressing against the softness of your tummy.

"Yeosang..." you sigh and open your eyes to take in the night sky full of stars as his large hand cups your bottom. He slowly lowers you both as you instinctively lift your leg to wrap around his hip. At your movement, his breath quickens and he moans eagerly.

"Stay with me forever..." he breathes out, his arm tightening around you. "Yes..." you respond as he lands, keeping you firmly in his grip. Letting your other leg wrap around his waist, you let your hand slide between the two of you. His hot breath skims over the skin of your breast, his hand cupping underneath to knead at it.

The firm flesh of his thickness in your palm twitches when you finally stroke him, slowly sliding your delicate fingers over the tip where he leaks his need for you. Your leg rubs down the back of his thigh, a soft mewling escaping your throat as he brushes his lips over your sensitive nipple. You stroke just his cockhead as he looks up at you, his intense eyes glazed with desire.

You can't help but choke back a cry when his mouth latches onto your nipple, his tongue tracing the taut peak as he sucks gently. His eyes watch you intently as small mewling sounds escape your lips, yet you continue to roll your wrist, coercing a low humming from him as you pump his length.

"Make me yours, my Prince." you demand, your fingers delving into his hair. Tugging gently as he flits his wings, you guide him to your eager opening. He gently flies you both to the edge of the veranda to alight upon a cushioned chaise. He settles upon it with you in his lap as you rub his tip against your slickness.

Far too eager to allow any more of your playful teasing, he grips your hips and lifts himself into you. Your wings tremble as he stretches you, his eyes never leaving your face. "Yeosang~~" you cry out as he presses you down onto him, completely sheathed within as your hips start to move.

You return his intense stare as you roll your hips, grinding down against him. Gripping his shoulder, you rise up just to sink back down on him as he grasps your buttocks, spreading you wider so he can sink deeper into you. Your moans and cries blend together into a sweet melody, his low tone vibrating through your being as he guides you gently upon him at first.

Then the tempo gains momentum, his breath and sighs quickening to match yours. Running your hand from his shoulder down his back, you run your fingers against the delicate spot where his wings extend from his back muscles. His eyes darken as he chokes on a moan, his hands tightening to dig into your delicate flesh.

"My Princess..." he cries out shakily as you slide your fingers along the thick muscle that connects to his silken wings. The vibrant colors of his radiant wings pulse as you trace the pattern of his veins shining through the gossamer silkiness.

"Mine...my Princess....my forever....please..." he's crying out, then he is standing up with you still wrapped around him, his strong fingers grasping your wing muscles in return possessively. The sensation of his strong grip mixed with the meaning of the gesture has you stuttering out incoherent syllables.

You can feel your wings begin to agitate on their own, mimicking the tremble of his. "Prince...my Prince ....." is all you can manage as he manages to maneuver you to one of the pillars to press you against it.

Careful to not hurt your wings, he presses his hand to the sensitive skin where your wings meet and backs you into the structure. You grip his wings as greedily as he did yours, holding on to him tightly as he thrusts up into you.

His cries and moans are so broken as he starts to plunge zealously into your clenching sex, as he starts to speak as brokenly as you are. "Name~~ say...... please.....my name~~" he is whimpering as your body begins to quake. You begin to clamp around him as you feel the tightness of your abdomen threaten to snap. You stroke his powerful wings muscles as you finally begin to cry out his name.

"Yeosa- Yeos...sssaang..." your voice quivers as he growls out yours in turn. "Mine...for..ee.v.err." he continues to repeat, until he seizes against you. His mouth clamps onto yours to swallow your cries as you finally crest to your peak, flooding around him as he empties his seed into your womb.

The flare of his wings as they tremble with his climax lights up the entire area, pulsing in time with yours. You can feel the glimmering dust they produce settling on your dewy skin as you open your eyes to take it all in. He pulls back from your mouth to lean back slightly, looking down between you where you are joined. He pulls back just to thrust into you again, admiring the glistening fluid from you both trickling out of you.

"Beautiful...so beautiful..." he whispers, his eyes coming back up to meet yours. They shine golden in the early morning sunrise, the orange, yellow and red glow washing over the both of you. "Yes...you are.." you whisper back to him, cupping his face lovingly. You pull close to him again as he carries you gently to the bed in the middle of the veranda.

Settling down with you in his lap once more, he pulls you both onto the soft silken bedding. He seems unwilling to part from you but he finally slips out, adjusting both of your bodies so you are lying side by side, face to face. Pulling you close once more, he gently kisses you, taking his time.

You cradle his perfect face in your hands and kiss his cheeks. Drawing back at the dampness, you look at him with a frown. "My Prince?" you ask, worried. He takes your hand in his and kisses your palm.

"If I asked you to stay forever, would you?" he inquires softly, his eyes pleading. "Of course, Yeosang...I..." he sighs again and kisses the ring he had placed on your finger the evening before.

"I wish it were so. Let us just enjoy this morning together." he whispers, taking your mouth once more.

The rest of the morning is a haze as he takes you twice more, seemingly insatiable. When you are finally completely exhausted and on the verge of sleep, he slips from the bed. Crying softly at his absence, he coos at you softly to wait, then he's sitting beside you on the edge of the bed.

He is cradling a small silver box, his mark upon the lid. "Our time together is the most wonderful thing I've ever experienced. I wish you could remain here with me, for eternity." he says, once more placing a kiss upon your lips.

Then he slips the box into your hand, turning away from you. "My love?" you ask, then glance down at it. Opening it slowly, there lies a key upon the silken fabric.

You breath catches as realization hits you and you finally remember why you are here. Your heart clenches at the truth of what he'd been saying. You go to reach for it, then stop yourself.

"Yeosang...?" you whisper, your fingers tracing his wing pattern once more. He gasps and spins around, his eyes large at your touch. "My Princess?" he says, concerned.

You close the box, and set it to the side. His face flicks through a range of emotions as you reach for him, sitting up. You slip into his lap once more, brushing his hair back from his beautiful face.

"One more day together wouldn't hurt anything, would it?" you murmur against his lips. You barely get the words out before he is growling out your name, a choked cry of happiness escaping his throat.

And after you both have worn each other out over and over, through the day into the next night, you wait until his eyelids flutter shut to kiss them one last time.

Taking in the sunrise one more time, you open the box and allow yourself one small tear shed for a fantasy you have to leave behind before you take the key.

You rematerialize into the dim stacks. This time, you wipe your cheek as you breathe out slowly. You look down at your hand where a small mark is, a shadow of the ring he'd given you. You take some time with your thoughts as you feel regret wash over you. It takes you a few moments cradling the key he'd given you to finally retire into the box.

Rubbing the ache in your chest, you move on once more, this time to your last trial.

[wolfpackmuses]

So! I’ve finally come up with some headcanons and ideas for a Tokoyami fantasy AU verse. Some of these aren’t really based off any specific media, some of them are based off DnD concepts, and some is just pulled from some other fantasy stuff I know about.

With that, I’ll share some of those below!

Tokoyami in a fantasy verse does a lot of work as a merchant for many of the local markets, with him owning an apple farm on the outskirts of some city/village.

However, despite the outward portrayal of him just selling apples and other apple-related products, he does live somewhat of a double-life.

For his double-life, he does occasionally take up jobs to hunt down certain targets as a bounty hunter and uses his companion, Dark Shadow a large crow-like bird to travel and to help track down targets.

In this sense, he can use Dark Shadow as a tracking bird that can be used from the air while he travels on foot to wherever the target may be.

Dark Shadow can actually take the shape and size of a normal crow, if it is needed, and Tokoyami has the specific ability to call him back by a certain phrase to where he takes on a normal crow appearance.

For most of what Tokoyami does though, he does end up using a bow and arrow to find his targets and get them from range. While he is versed in some short range combat, thanks to his father’s insistence on at least learning how to use a sword, long range combat is his expertise.

Tokoyami, for the most part, takes on the characteristics of the Ranger class from DnD, mixing in elements of the “Beast Master” archetype, like having Dark Shadow to hunt with him, and the “Gloom Stalker” archetype, such as being able to attack quickly like in Stalker’s Fury or even through evading and dodging enemies in Shadowy Dodge.

That said, he is not overly powerful or anything and there are limitations to what he can do, like the short range combat or his inability to always avoid dangerous situations.

Tokoyami’s life prior to him taking on his apple-farm and bounty hunting wasn’t the most extravagant. He grew up in a household that was more middle-class, with both parents also being merchants and his family not having the most money.

However, both of Tokoyami’s parents did go missing when he became a teenager and it is assumed they ended up getting ambushed and taken during a travel back from a nearby market festival.

Tokoyami, despite this, kept up his parent’s legacy and has become mainly known as a successful merchant with lots of fun goodies in apple flavoring, but is more widely known as a proficient bounty hunter in “darker circles”.

Tokoyami also is not the most trusting of people, as many can imagine. So if you come across him, expect him to give you the cold shoulder for a while.

One final thing to mention: Tokoyami also knows how to play string guitar and, at one point, considered it to be his career path once he was able to get out into the world a bit, before his parent’s disappearance. Tokoyami does sometimes still play, but he’s seemingly done it less due to not… really having a need to, even if it’s something he’d love to continue doing.

General art of what he and Dark Shadow looks like can be found below. Original art was by Mia0309, but I can’t find an active source for said photo.

hc + ❓

❓ for a headcanon of the receiver's choice: feminism

to put it very simply, tay is the most tradwife non-tradwife to ever tradwife. she's a terrible feminist, in the sense that for her feminism mostly begins and ends with other people. there are certain things (au-wise) she won't budge on: she works— she could never let someone else provide everything; household bills are a 50/50 split— again, that's the guilt complex. unsurprisingly, they're finance-related! growing up, she didn't have a lot of money and whilst she doesn't have any real reason to worry about it now, she refuses to take it for granted. those are quite literally her only redeeming elements where modern feminism is concerned, and they aren't much to do with it. strike one!

now, tay used to liken herself to an independent #girlboss. she was making her own money, sure. but in the customer service industry... i shall say no more. for a period of time, she swore off love, slept with who she wanted, when she wanted. she was the pinnacle of men can do it; why can't i? there are things that disprove her girlbossery in her affectionately named tinder-era, in particular that being that she quickly relented to the desires of her sexual partners (primarily men during this time; her relationship/sexual dynamic with women differs⋆). of course, there's an element of people-pleasing— that's just how she is. but there's also an element of enjoying being controlled, and with a male partner majority, yikes. strike two!

as for being independent... 💀 she can be, and she is in certain aspects— financially, literally just financially, and i've made that point already. tay is quite reliant on other people, and by other people, i mean men and by that i mean klaus. and she likes it! big no-no for modern feminism. (this is also applicable to hybrid verse, where she isn't just reliant but indebted eternally. you can imagine how that looks.) strike three!

in relationships (or "relationships" for klaus-related inclusion) with men, she can be very traditional. obviously, this is dependent on their worldview and their skillset. tay is not a good cook; she doesn't belong in the kitchen. but! she'll insist on doing the rest, the clean-up is hers, as is the responsibility of fixing a drink afterwards. the menial chores, as well, she views as her responsibility. she won't always refuse the offer of help, but know that she feels bad for it afterwards. she feels safe around most men, she seeks the comfort of men, she loves the safety that most men provide. she's an all-around man-enjoyer.

most controversially, despite it not being her reality, tay would very much enjoy being controlled by a long-term partner. when it comes to how, there are obvious exceptions to this; she would still like to work (the crowd boos), but that would be her only condition. it isn't a fantasy she'd share. she doesn't often talk about the things she wants, and above that, it's not realistic. but it's still there! she allows herself snippets of it— asking that she be told what to wear, asking to be ordered for at a restaurant, asking for permission to go out (it comes across more-so as do you need me here). you get the picture. she likes possession, she likes dominance. she'd love more of it.

⋆ quite simply, tay would not receive any satisfaction from a woman treating her in this way. strike four, i think!

as i said, her feminism begins and ends with other people. tay, to other women: do as i say, not as i do! and that is to say, if other women behaved as she did, she'd encourage the opposite. she's a hypocrite, and not so naïve that she thinks how she feels is right. she wants better for every woman out there, just leave her out of it.

Let's 'Rec' It - The Narcotic Edition

Yeah, I have Genshin fic recommendations that I need to shove down people's throats, keep scrolling, keep scrolling . . .

Series -

the angel share's cat - Although some may find it to be a bit canon divergent as this was written in the pre 2.8 era of Ragbros fanfiction. I can say with confidence that this was one of my favorite series of all time. It still is.

beasts and mortals (and how to cross the distance in between) - I absolutely love the characterization between the two main characters and the time the author takes to really flesh them out and have them interact with each other and others around them.

nobody in liyue respects diluc - This was one of the goofier fics I've read, but I had a good laugh. Essentially the 'What if Diluc Didn't Go Back to Mondstadt' speculative fanfiction that goes absolutely hogwild on the lore and respect to research.

Kazuha and The Crux Fleet (the family we made along the way) - Genuinely one of the most solid series surrounding the Crux Fleet I've experienced in a while as well as realistic whump and hurt/comfort. Featuring some other characters as well!

Legacy of the Ragnvindr Brothers - In my personal opinion, this fic is foundational to what I look for to a subconscious degree. Also written in the pre-2.8 Ragbros era, it sticks out with how it kicks off and how they deal with it long-term.

Frost And Flame - A Tale of Two Brothers - This series was one I kept up with at its tail end, and I was quite invested in it. The author had a blast and so did I. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're willing to excuse the low-key crack in some places as well as other canon-divergent elements, then I recommend it.

memento mori, bitch! - I laughed so hard at this series that I felt my ribs start to shift and crack. Scaramouche is a little bitch. Arataki Itto is a himbo. Kuki Shinobu is holding it together by a thread. Beans.

Fox Tricks - This is probably the only Eimiko-centric thing I genuinely like as the characterization is top-tier, the writing is top-notch, and the realism is unmatched. Recommend to anyone willing to read through it.

noir!Fischl - What if Fischl consumed noir novels instead of fantasy ones?

Mora for a Myth 'verse - Arguably my best example of abusing how open Genshin Impact's worldbuilding is to make something better, featuring Beiguang.

Teyvat University of Fuck-Ups- I Mean Allogenes - Featuring familiar faces in a University AU as well as a healthy dose of characterization.

scarlet and amethyst - There is always that one crazy person in the fandom that latches onto a rarepair and makes it their mission to produce nothing but content for it. This is one of them and I salute them.

About Tengu Courtship - A Sara-centric fic on how and why the hell she's feeling things for Itto and vice versa.

the ragnvindr-alberich get along sweater - A slew of lore, headcanons, and character interpretations meet in a Modern AU that makes sense.

A Cat Visits A Winery - Diluc and Diona interact and grow closer as they bond over things they didn't quite expect to.

An Unexpected Duet - In which Barbara begins to develop a friendship and feelings for a certain bard, prompting an interesting path of character development.

Resurrection and Mayhem - Qiqi does not want to lose her main source of coconut milk, so she resurrects Childe as a zombie. Hijinks ensue.

contemplation, empathy, praxis - An Al-Haitham-centric collection that features him being put in situations and interactions that he would not be in ideally.

unfocused - A fanfiction that caused me to not only reach Ao3's character limit for the comments but had me compose a whole essay on it. The following smut also never broke the established character for a second.

let everyone be a part of you, a little - A collection of one-shots featuring interesting character interactions not usually present in-game and their varying headcanons. Some of my favorites.

occupational hazards - A Fontaine-centric collection featuring some of our favorite characters as well as dealing with a good chunk of the Archon Quests. Arguably some of the best stuff I've read.

Multi-Chapter Fics -

Scary Love - This fic took me the fuck out. You have to read it for yourself to really understand where I'm getting at. It slaps hard.

A Hypostatis' Guide to Godhood - Featuring Klee as its adopted child. It's not finished, but it slaps regardless of it. It gets technical, but this didn't stop me from having a good time.

All In A Day's Work - One of the only Noelle-centric fics that not only characterizes her well, but manages to stay true to its tags of 'crack treated seriously'. Also features NPC love, which is always a good thing to have.

how to human - A Razor-centric fic featuring Razor trying to learn what it is to be human as well as who he is. It made me cry inside.

Broken Wings - This one surprised me. The writing is one of the best I've seen for a premise like this. It's a genuine treat I go back to from time to time.

Teapot Tales - The dream of shoving characters into a space and watching how they interact like scientists observing a petri dish.

How To Finish Your Bucket List Before You Die- A Guide From Kaeya Alberich - The title is self-explanatory, but it's done so tragically well that I had to put it here. Came out way before anything substantial was done to canon, but still captures Kaeya's character perfectly.

The Meaning of Bromance - In which a card game sends Thoma on errands, stirs Itto into a bout of manic desperation, and spurs Ayato's typical scheming. Truer to the characters than usual. A good chuckle.

Circles - In which Lisa's house is burned down by accident and Klee inadvertently becomes a catalyst for two folks to get together.

Cake Crumbs - In which the trope of being a fake couple for a discount for food is taken up a notch.

Ragnvindr Brothers Mortuary and Co. - In which Crepus' death unlocks a morbid curiosity in the boys instead of the canon-typical fallout.

The Final Campaign - In which Diluc finds a leather-bound journal in his father's study and the nostalgia comes punching back with a vengeance only abated by seeing it through to the end.

throw me to the unknown (and hope for my return) - In which Venti has a rough time and Beidou is there to help him out of it. Featuring some other character interactions.

adrift - In which Tama's cat ends up with Kazuha in the end.

A Tengu's Flock - In which Sara delves into what 'home' really is when a kind elderly woman opens up her own, only for Sara to find out who inhabits that home and bond with them as well.

Problem Conversion - In which due to varying circumstances, Faruzan and Al-Haitham interact, with much being exchanged between them.

adoration - In which there is an Adelinde-centric approach to the Dawn Winery dynamic, in varying points of time.

Little Lioness - In which Jean is somehow turned into a cat, and the events that follow.

Kuki Shinobu's Day Off - In which Kuki Shinobu ends up getting sick, so Itto and the gang have to pick up the slack and try to take care of their deputy.

Carved in Stone - In which the Arataki Gang is founded, featuring some deep character analysis and tribulation

One Shots -

Lone Wolves - An intricate and wonderfully thought-out coming-of-age one-shot featuring the trio of Bennett, Fischl, and Razor and their unbreakable bond.

stubborn - In which Kazuha is recovering from an injury and insists that he's fine, but Beidou has none of that. Featuring Baizhu, the acceptable use of a syringe, and decent hurt/comfort in the midst of sickness.

Grow Forward - Collei takes the first step to improving her relations with Cyno and Tighnari offers her his support in doing so. If 3.5 didn't exist, this would be an acceptable subsidiary.

looking out for you - Ragbros without the pinch of angst but accompanied by diabetes-inducing fluff. It gave me whiplash to see them depicted as such, so now you have to experience it too.

clinical horror - Ningguang hates the dentist, but her tooth aches. And yes, Beidou forces and half-drags her to the dentist anyway because pain medication will only do so much.

Perilous Brunch Bunch - The Chasm gang gets some brunch and hangs out together, from the NPCs' point of view.

my home without seasons - Kaedehara Kazuha finds another place he can call home.

Butter Knife - Canon-divergent and goes into the speculative question of what would happen if Diluc properly lost his mind.

Kitties on Board - The Alcor suffers under a plague of cats, or that's what the captain of said boat would call it.

Like a Pair of Hunting Birds - Shenhe and Xiao in a character study with some interesting peeks into some of their shared traits.

consequences of one [1] sakoku decree - Ganyu deserved to go off a little and her reasons are entirely justified.

a knight and a nun walk into a bar - Kaeya and Rosaria have a few drinks, and a lot more that wine is spilled.

I Heard You Like Cocogoats - A prank war between two individuals that will inevitably have people caught in the crossfire.

calm after the storm - Diona grapples with who Diluc is and what she pictures him to be.

Rest Day - In what world would Chongyun's exasperation boil over into hatred? This one, but only speculatively, of course.

The Tale of Klee and the Gender Reveal Bombs - Who gave the child specializing in the making of pyrotechnics access to smoke bombs?

saraba pasara - It's Qiqi's birthday, and it comes with some baggage.

"But that'll hurt real bad!" - A punch here, a dented guard there, and the varying miscommunications that arise as a result.

Dawn Winds, Heed My Vision - Diluc bears witness to his Archon in the midst of dissociation.

to new beginnings - Freminet stumbles upon the Hydro Dragon and they become friends.

BAND VERSE : ECLIPSE. — setting : general modern au, and alternatively wherever pentakill originates from because pentakill seems to exist in a strange runeterra AU, not in the modern world. but, for all purposes, this verse exists primarily in the modern world, with low fantasy elements where otherwise inhuman races exist amongst humankind. that being said, this verse bleeds from the threads of my general modern verse, in which morgana is still centuries old, descended from a higher being, and has masked herself amidst humans following tragedy in ancient civilizations.

a year and a half ago, i posited the idea that morgana have her own band, rivaling pentakill; although, it's less a rival against the members of pentakill and more one against her sister, kayle.

eclipse, often stylized as ƎCLIPSE ( with its logo using crescent moons instead of Es ), comprises of the following members:

— morgana, lead vocals ( read the hc here about morgana being a multi-talented classically trained musician though ) — sylas, drummer — aatrox, bass guitar — varus, rhythm guitar

now you might be wondering, where's the lead guitarist? great question. eclipse was once a group of five, featuring none other than HEARTSTEEL's kayn ( @umbane ) as their lead guitarist and resident scream king / backing vocalist. however, that was a long time ago and many heartaches long past, a painful history for all of them, most especially morgana and kayn. they were terribly close, once, but the growing turmoil within eclipse was far too much to bear. there was no way to move forward together as a cohesive group, not with how volatile kayn had become. morgana wanted to see it through, to make things work, to help her friend move past whatever it was he was going through.

she knew well of his past, and she isn't the type of person who gives up easily, especially when it comes to someone she cares so deeply about, but she was trapped between a rock and a hard place: letting kayn go to preserve the rest of the band and all of their dreams, or risk losing everyone and everything they've put on the line. the rest of her bandmates were pressuring her to drop kayn, and truly, she didn't want to. morgana desperately sought a peaceful resolution, a way to figure things out, a way to keep kayn and soothe the growing animosity within eclipse.

that's the thing when you put so many big personalities in a same group together, isn't it? of course everyone has their own voice, their own ideas and wishes and feelings they want heard. different ideas for what they should be doing, what they wanted to be doing, just how they should be getting things done... it was a recipe for disaster. they were all volatile. angry, hurt, saying things they shouldn't have said under the burning pressure of fire pressed to their feet, but aatrox and sylas were the most vocal of all in demanding that kayn goes, or they both walk. varus agreed. it brought morgana a pain she hadn't felt since the days of long ago when she and her sister fought so violently that it forever tore an irreparable rift between them that she still hasn't healed from, and likely never would. she didn't want to go through that again. she couldn't. she knew the dynamic was becoming a problem, but she just didn't want to let kayn go.

she loved kayn most out of all them. even now, years later, she still doesn't have the heart to replace him. morgana records the lead guitar riffs and solos herself in studio, and while varus has offered to step up for shows and tours, she refuses. eclipse has temporary fills on retainer that join them on tours, but they're never there to stay. there's a hole that will never be filled, another betrayal she won't be complicit in. morgana already betrayed kayn once, and she wouldn't do it again. but, whatever formula they have has been working for them. eclipse has gone on to become an international success with their dark gothic elements, catchy choruses and hooks, with their whimsical witchy sounds that are a blend of rock-metal and a hint of haunting folk and siren songs. morgana has the voice of a siren and sings the sweetest notes, but can easily switch to grittier, raw vocals. eclipse is an eclectic blend of haunting, enchanting melodies, compared to pentakill's classic rock / hair metal vibes.

with morgana's vocal talents and range and acting capabilities, she's been offered several roles on broadway, most famously having done a rendition of phantom of the opera. during off-times when she isn't working on a new album or singles, and isn't on tour, morgana will agree to small acting roles or roles in plays and musicals. it's another thing she's discovered she loves, a distraction away from the quiet and the spiraling columns of despair that wrap around her like an inescapable shroud of mist trailing after her everywhere she goes. despite the band's massive success, a part of her aches for the losses of her past. seeing HEARTSTEEL now has helped heal some of the guilt she felt, but even still, she doubts the hurt will ever truly fade.

(forgot age range)

🕊️ looking for 19+ partners to write mxm! i have this particular oc i'd like to write~

he's pretty. masculine like a peacock. gender envy, who? i'm being harsh, but his physical appearance is his most redeeming quality. he comes from the slums (prostitute's son) and depending on the au we play him in, he will do anything to get himself out of the mud or is content to control to stay in the slums only if he's the one leading (gave up on escaping and fell into sin's embrace??) in most verses, there are elements of rape/noncon and assault in his backstory. you can fit so much trauma, abuse, and rage in this bad boy.

he's an arrogant, cold, self-entitled prick because he knows he's hot shit. he looks down on everyone, including himself; people are all just tools, and isn't life the game that decides who is the most useful? he's determined, cold, ruthless, and oh-so emotionally stunted. he doesn't know how to love, but he wants to. most of the time, anyway. he's very bitter and thinks he deserves better. god complex + crippling self-hatred.

anywho, that's where YOUR OC advertiser voice comes in!

i'd love to pair my boy against someone who will piss him off or a himbo. i am not looking for sub-bottoms. i want them to be at each other's literal throats. give me the bickering, the dom x dom energy, everything. maybe your oc is the one is knock him (violently) down several pegs, scare the shit out of my guy, make him worse (stay toxic!!) teach him how to love, enforce his dog-eat-dog ideology, break him, trauma-bond with him, or yk, let me manipulate the hell out of your muse (villain and his guard dog) ^^

when it comes to bedroom dynamics, i play my oc as a switch/power bottom. he likes getting dicked down, but he very much wants to stay in power.

i have a few ideas, but i would love love love to hear yours if you had any.

a few things about me-

21+ F writer lazy-lit. i can break the discord word limit multiple times, but only if the situation calls for it/i want to act like an author paid by word

i love worldbuilding and making complex characters + relationships.

i will give the enthusiasm i am given. i can only send so many memes before it gets awkward.

my response time can be from minutes (rapid fire) to a week or so. this depends mostly on my interest in the rp and my schedule. i am a uni student, so please have mercy on me.

i'm pretty active ooc and would appreciate a ooc relationship! send me memes, fanart, pinterest boards, songs that remind us of our idiots, and i'll do the same!

kink friendly. i have maybe three limits, so pretty much anything is on the table.

historical + modern settings, omegaverse, size differences, angst, hurt/more hurt, hurt/comfort, dub/noncon, fantasy, political funsies, power imbalances, breeding, monsterfucking, dead dove themes, wuxia etc have me foaming at the mouth.

if you got this far, you're probably interested, so please react and i'll hunt you down! for the love of god, please respond to my dm...

like if interested !

next up, forever (our world)

a very self indulgent, lighthearted au. with years of thought put into it. like... i think the our world au started back in... 2017, when i first wrote FF7 muses on tumblr. under a read more due to the fact that it's rambly and there's so much. ooh boy. fuckle your seatbelts.

our world is set in... our world. with my blog & characters having supernatural elements, those are still present! it's just your standard fantasy modern setting au. the supernatural are more well known, those some creatures are hidden for assorted reasons (i have countless lore pages but some are OUTDATED so we're not worrying about 'em).

this au is (mostly) lighthearted! yeah there's shit that happens, but that's kind of inevitable. i'm not opposed to angsty stuff in this verse either, but the main idea was light-hearted shenanigans!! anything is possible here.

for muse specifics! rufus is a water nymph that lives on a farm in northern maine with his mom and his little brother. his mom is an actress. rufus himself, is a model. he does art on the side. i never figured out what specifically, i just know he draws some sickass semi-realism (humans) ++ semi realism/cartoony animals. he's got a service dog, a black curly coated retriever named rogue. this is what the breed looks like! they're large gun dogs. aloof with strangers but silly with family, which is rufus. he does not have a lot of friends, a VERY small handful at best. (now, this is where i'm ofc like 'tseng & the turks!!!!' but flexible here. everyone comes together differently and im happy to explore other options. especially with where im not writing this au with just a single other person! im very flexible) he's very anti-social.

farm stuff! there's chickens, cows, horses, ducks. uh. i think a goat or two. cloud is the chicken tender. rufus has a clydesdale horse specifically, that he loves dearly, but is fully aware is a bitch. he ALSO has an american quarter horse that he occasionally does cutting competitions with (cutting competition is when you like, separate a single cattle from the herd and keep it from rejoining and its timed) -- jaemin was determined to find something to keep rufus busy as a teenager so he wasn't a bitchy teenager abd by the gods did she find something. look those little bastards are BUSY.

rufus is constantly sleep deprived now, though. he's defintiely your standard 'tired artist', and how most digital artists depict themselves. he's got an energy drink in one hand, some sort of drawing thing in the other. he would sleep on the floor if you let him.

mom got the boys in the divorce, good for her. reginald shinra is in another state, but he's plotting something, surely. shinra is based in new york, i think i settled on new york, new york. california also makes sense? maine and new york aren't that far apart--- shinra is... uh. less of a behemoth this time round. that does not mean that reginald doesn't have a lot of shady shit going on, but i haven't played on that element too much! i'll get there. here's reginald. not quite how i imagine him BUT i like him best for the dude. it's fine. dw about it. here's mom, loved her in train to busan.

hard to love - anarcia (popstar au)

the fic in which sasha gives anetra multiple heart attacks

also i suggest checking out hard to love by rosé to picture what marcia's singing!

-

"Okay, one more time from the start to the pre-chorus and I think we got it, Marsh!"

Marcia gave the producer a thumbs up from inside the recording booth before putting her headphones back on and waiting for the track to restart.

Anetra quietly entered the room and leaned back against the wall, a soft smile appeared on her face as she watched Marcia fully in her element. She could see why some people say she was born to do perform.

Ain't no magic tool to fix it You should keep your distance I'm only telling you because I care

Their eyes met through the window, Marcia giving her a little wink after she noticed her girlfriend's presence but didn't stop from singing the next verse.

'Cause I'm hard to love, find it hard to trust When it feels too good, I just fuck it up You want all of me, I can't give that much So don't fall too hard, 'cause I'm hard to love

She watched proudly as the blonde closed her eyes to hit the high notes of the chorus. She could listen to Marcia sing all day, there was something special about her voice.

"She's good, isn't she?"

Anetra almost jumped in her spot at the sudden voice that took her off guard, "God, a warning next time," she muttered.

"No god, just Sasha," the manager seemed so proud of herself for the joke, "Anetra, was it? I'm not sure if we've ever been properly introduced".

Sasha extended her hand to Anetra, the latter shook it without being able to make eye contact. She didn't want to admit it but Marcia's manager scared the shit out of her.

"Yes, I'm Anetra, I was just..." she gestured towards the door only to be stopped by Sasha grabbing her arm.

"I think we should have a little chat while Marcia is wrapping things up," she smiled and yet Anetra didn't find it all that comforting.

"Uh, well, what, uh, what did you want to talk about?" She asked quietly as to not be heard by the producer while he talked with Marcia.

"About your relationship with Marsh," she casually replied, waving at Marcia through the window.

How did she...?

"Marcia told me," she continued, as if she was able to read Anetra's mind.

"Are you... here to ask me to break up with her?" The choreographer asked with a hint of sadness.

She knew how Marcia's agency was mostly against her dating anyone, something about how it would hurt her reputation with her fans and 'didn't sell a fantasy'.

"Do you want to?"

"What? No! I lo- I really care for her," she blurted out, she could tell her cheeks were turning red.

"Good," Sasha replied with a smile, this time felt more genuine.

"Uh?"

"It was about time she found someone good for her," the manager continued, turning her head to look at Anetra, "You seem a good kid, and she seems to really be smitten by you".

Anetra kept quiet, her eyes going back to Marcia, watching as she giggled at something the producer said. Her heart skipped a beat.

"I only have one more thing to say".

"If you ever dare to break her heart, I will make sure you regret it, got it, sweetheart?"

Anetra's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, "Y-Yes, ma'am".

Sasha chuckled, whispering "Good girl," as Marcia finally came out of the recording booth to greet them both

Get To Know The Mun

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? Well, Zephos is a character I've been writing about for years. She's an OC of mine, which was originally a DND character, turned for the use of rp on tumblr. She has a whole story, with verses dependent on where she ends up, whether that'd be in a HH style world, or if another fandom I can adjust terms for that world. Otherwise I love this girl, and even have a rough cosplay of her.

is there anything you don’t like to write? Mostly don't care for writing topics that end up fetish-y. Sure, smut is fine if done right, but if it's just gratuitous for no reason, I tend to nope out. I'm otherwise not a fan of writing high school au's, I don't know why I just don't. Maybe it bores me.

is there anything you really enjoy writing? I tend to opt for fantastical elements, dark fantasy and folklore I love, along with historical stuff. I also love to write emotionally charged scenes, no matter the emotion, whether horror, joy, budding friendship/romance, betrayal. I like to keep Zephos on her hooves.

how do you come up with headcanons? I wrote the character, so would that mean all my ideas are headcanons? Otherwise, I try to base her off of folklore, fairy lore, old mythology, medieval and renaissance societies, defying authority, learning to open up to new ideas, and learning to break barriers with how one's actions can haunt them, even if the things done were good but are viewed negatively.

do you write in silence or do you play music?  If I'm writing a lot then music is playing, but if it's something short, I tend toward silence.

do you plan your replies or wing them? Depends. If the rp is more slice of life I tend to wing it, otherwise if it's more planned I tend to make sure everything is just right.

do you enjoy shipping?  I sometimes do, but I don't force the ship to happen if I'm writing it. I want ships if they happen to be natural in my writing, develop by the way relationships should, whether for good or ill, I want to make sure relationship dynamics happen first.

10 and 20 for Valen.

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

ok so i'm always a slut for plopping characters in the exact opposite universe of their canon universe, so i am constantly thinking about normal old valen in a modern setting struggling to survive and make sense of what they want in life. no powers or supernatural elements to be seen. but i also like to think of a modern verse with bits and pieces of their canon (for example, them still having their dark urges and perhaps still being a sorcerer). either way, i already consider that a sort of secondary verse for them, anyway.

but as far as a verse i haven't put too much thought in, i feel like plopping them in the universe of another game (like final fantasy 7 or 15) would actually be pretty fun, considering who valen is as a person. or maybe this is just my want for them to be friends with cloud talking.

20. Does your OC have a tendency to get jealous? If so, how does this manifest?

hmmm. yes and no? it depends on what is happening and who is doing it. valen doesn't form attachment (romantic or otherwise) easily. people come and people go, and forming too many attachments too quickly is a recipe for hurt and disaster (a learned lesson). so if the person in question is someone they just have sex with, without a discussion or establishment of a deeper relationship or title, even if it's a good friend that they sleep with regularly, valen will never be jealous of anything they do, no matter what it is. they simply won't care enough to be.

however, if the relationship in question is an established one with mutual connection, things are a bit different. for instance, if they were to see astarion "flirting" with someone right in front of them, they probably wouldn't even bat an eye; they know the type of person astarion is, and would assume that there is a reason he's doing what he's doing (and that it isn't because he has any genuine interest in whoever it is). however, if there was any indication that astarion was seeking a genuine connection from someone else without so much as speaking to them about it first...well. he'd be single and laid out on the ground.

valen isn't a jealous or possessive person and has an oddly neutral approach to love and romance; they'll be alright with almost anything (within reason) that's properly communicated to them beforehand—and will do the same, should the need arise, like with halsin—and most definitely is not opposed to their partner having multiple partners. all they ask for is respect and communication. and maybe to at least know/meet the person beforehand.

the only occasion where they will absolutely get jealous or upset is an occasion where they feel they're being replaced or neglected in favor of someone else, in which case they'll be outspoken about that feeling (with varying emotions, depending on the severity of the neglect; they can be either calm and sensible OR angry and spiteful). because despite them being alright with their partner having others on the side, they still want to be important in their life.
