Since A was around since the beginning of the Agency (or close enough), is there a reason they are Commanding Agent of Unit Bravo and not Alpha considering it's mentioned the units are ranked by Alphabet? Though to be fair Bravo does sound cooler then Alpha.

A has been around since the beginning of the Agency, but their team hasn't. The teams are usually made up of the same species to make it easier, so A sticks with Bravo rather than transferring to Alpha.

Unit Bravo went through some ups and downs and having a shift in team make-up with F joining and someone leaving, means they don't have quite the same level of 'successful' missions as Alpha.

Generally the top 3-5 teams are all on par anyway and the names are just a way to, you know, name them, lol! So Bravo is just as good as Alpha, it's just the werewolves reached that level first.

...Hope that makes some kind of sense! I didn't explain that the best!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

some one has to explain to this old man (king orange) what Gen alpha slang is, like what the sigma? hes going to get fannum taxed

-_- he is so not skibidi

King: "Gen Alpha slang? Ah, I´ve heard of a couple words that the children these days tend to say a lot. Purple has never taught me any, but I assure you that I hear them a lot like- skibidi, or- I unfortunately dont remember much of those words. Does this type of vocabulary have meanings? If so, what are the meanings for the words?" Purple: "...Why would you say this, Anon.. Now he wont leave me alone with this.."

I was thinking last night about possibly doing another addition to the Immortal Desires: Harris saga. And in the process I thought about what I would do differently if I were to do it now, I would probably go with Werewolves from Alpha rather than Wolf Bride. I would also be inclined to put these two as a couple as I feel like they would work together

[readerramble]

I swear to god it feels like the darkverse books are laced with an overdose of something that was just lightly sprinkled in the twisted series.

Cherry on top? Each FMC is a force to be reckoned with!

What’s a poor girl and her sleep schedule to do!

Top 5 mads

i'm full of rage let's see, gonna keep this fandom related tho because i get mad irl so often it's hard to pinpoint other than like one really specific story that i doubt anyone cares about

rage quitting after the s3 finale of t.een w.olf iykyk

learning the ending of the new v.eronica ma.rs season on h.ulu before watching it and therefore being so pissed i never bothered

ha.wk's role in s5 re: the st qualifiers iykyk again

this is sO DUMB but sticks in my memory, but prior to each new gl.ee episode they would drop the audios of the songs for the week and prior to the ro.cky ho.rror episode they had they did this. na.ya who plays san.tana sang sci.ence fic.tion do.uble fea.ture for the opening number but people swore up and down it was di.anna who played qu.inn and actually were so ignorantly wrong and fought with me and many others about it. guess who was right - it wasn't them.

i actually physically cannot rewatch the first episodes of s3 of bu.ffy because the way everyone treated bu.ffy after EVERYTHING she went through pisses me off so bad i can't do it

Reading through NatGeo, found an article on colossal gravitational waves, and immediately thought of you and the palmer station au.

But, scientists have have detected low-frequency gravitational waves with a wavelength so long it would takes years to decades for travel from crest to crest. They think it was caused by two supermassive black hole binaries.

i LOVE gravitational waves. i think Einstein predicted their existence back around the 1910s but it took until the 70s to develop instruments capable of truly measuring them. like black holes they’re quite harmless to us, but where supermassive black holes hoard everything about themselves from us - light not quick enough to escape to our eyes - gravitational waves are what they can’t help but give, despite their nature.

we talk about the beauty of small things a lot when we talk about the universe, but there’s beauty, too, in that which is incomprehensibly big, so much so that they, in turn, become like the smallest things. explosions that can touch us clear across the cosmos, but the remnants are a thousand billion times fainter than what caused them. yet still detectable.

i think beatrice would love that. explaining it to lilith by dropping a pebble into a cup of still water, so the ripples fan out to the sides and “okay, but imagine the cup has no sides. the ripples would travel in all directions, moving beyond our ability to perceive them but still there. imagine if i dropped a pebble into the ocean here and they felt it on mars.”

trying to explain it to ava who keeps interrupting her tongue into bea’s mouth

ava: so these binary neutron stars or supermassive black holes or whatever are locked together in like,.. an embrace?

ava: i get it, like an orgasm but REALLY big

and beatrice rolling her eyes like “ava i know you have a master’s degree in mathematics.”

jimmy mentioned that "those who awaken to second genders grow taller" but the only people mentioned (gakane, ava, the duke, and even jimmy himself) actually growing taller after presenting were all alphas. yuder himself mentioned he didn't grow an inch taller in his past life after he presented as an omega.

but the duke seemed convinced that yuder still had more growing to do. it would be so funny if he expected yuder to awaken as an alpha as well.

[beastsovrevelation]

A Warrior Nun a/o/b AU could be interesting if Adriel was the omega and Ava was the alpha, and they bonded. The drama.

Mostly based on my own interpretations of the AU.

Hey Mishka,

If what is happening to the Detective is as big as I think is, would the agency consider stationing another unit there to both help protect the Detective and contain the situation, permanently? If so which one?

And going off of a ask you just answered, if it is Unit Alpha, would you make them romance options? Personally, I believe it would be funny for the Detective to friend zone the Vampires and date one of the Werewolves instead, and seeing Adam/Ava's face when it's revealed would be hysterical! Also, Tamiko and Lesedi (I'm sorry if I misspelled their names), would be perfect ro's for my taste in personality.

Thank you for your time and keep up the great work!

The Agency is certainly calling in some of their 'heavy hitting' units to stick around the facility in Wayhaven during the events of Book Four, that's for sure, hehe! :D

They won't all permanently be stationed in the town, but it will be a good idea to have them on call…just in case.

I wouldn't make Unit Alpha romances during the main series—writing the extra villain romance is already adding quite the intensity and workload, hehe!

But hopefully one day in another series…Same with pretty much all new characters I introduce that I end up inevitably falling in love with, lol! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Wish You The Best

A/N: Forgive me, I started another series...oops

Summary: You meet an alpha from your past, and he introduces you to what will become your future.

It's as if you've been transported to another world. Between the stone arches that act as supports for the glass ceiling to the natural wildflowers that decorate the tables, you feel transported. There's nothing more perfect for Ava MacTavish’s wedding to her fiancé, a day with delicate sunlight and the end of summer warmth. 

You find it nice that the ceremony and reception will be in the same old building, speaking volumes to Ava’s connection to Scotland. The place she was born and raised had as much meaning for her as it had for you, albeit for entirely different reasons. 

This was her home, the place where you had met and had run wild across the grassy knolls behind her house. The two of you were best friends, classmates that had become like sisters with an unbreakable bond. As you grew older you had become entangled in a childlike crush on her older brother, Johnny MacTavish, who was only 3 years older than yourself.

The alpha that had stolen your attention had reciprocated feelings beyond friendship when you had turned 18, and he was well on his way toward the SAS. It was the epitome of wrong timing but the right person, and as time tore you apart your thoughts shifted from him. You had doubled down on your schoolwork, on getting your bachelor’s degree in education and then landing a job. 

Now at 24 you were a primary school teacher in a cozy school in smalltown England, a job you had always wanted. Being an omega who taught young kids had always seemed like a good fit for you, given that Johnny had once claimed you were the personification of the sun. A bright personality, bubbly and always trying to see the best in people, believing that everyone had some inherited good within them. 

Now you were back in Scotland for Ava’s wedding and undoubtedly you would cross paths with Johnny. The alpha you’d had a crush on all those years ago was supposed to be here, as Ava had promised, and it was only a matter of time before you ran into him. You knew that if Ava and her fiancé had wanted a wedding party, Johnny would’ve likely been the best man. However, to spare drama and money, both Ava and her fiancé wanted just themselves to stand and have everyone else be guests. 

The moment you had set foot on the property you headed toward the seating chart for the wedding to find your name written amongst small cardstocks. You set a hand down upon the table and leaned in, eyes narrowed ever so slightly as you scoured the charts, and upon finding your name a smile had graced your face. There written in black ink was your name next to Johnny’s, and on the other side was someone you hadn’t met yet but had heard about. 

“Steaming bloody Jesus, you’re still alive.” A voice so recognizable stirs your attention and you turn your head, looking over your shoulder. Sparkling blue eyes meet yours with that consistent mischievousness reflected in those blues. Your smile only grows, and your heart nearly leaps out of your chest when you feel those familiar butterflies afflicting you. 

No matter how much time had passed, seeing Johnny had affected you greatly. 

“Hey Johnny,” you greeted him warmly, your smile bright and that bubbliness not lacking for a moment, “what do you mean still alive?” 

“I mean yer clumsy as hell, bonbon.” He grins cheekily and doesn’t hesitate to pull you into a deep hug, lifting you clear off your feet. Your laugh is infectious, and you can’t help but hold onto him as if he’s your lifeline, until you're standing again. “And you’re too trusting, especially with animals.” 

“I like animals.” You fix your dress once you’re on your own two feet, and briefly your attention is drawn from Johnny to the hulking alpha standing next to him. 

“Hi,” you greet the intense looking alpha with a cheerful chirp and extend your hand, that familiar smile still on your face, “I’m Y/N. I'm Ava’s best friend and-” 

“-the clumsiest little omega this side of the world.” Johnny grins and throws an arm around your shoulders, tugging you straight into his side, while your hand is still extended. “This is Simon.” 

He stares at you, this other alpha, with brown eyes that could appear dark and cold. His dirty blonde hair is slightly ruffled and messy, and there’s a distinct set of bruises on his neck that make you pause. You don’t know how you hadn’t put the pieces together but now it’s so obviously clear. The way Johnny’s scent mixes with this brooding alpha’s, you know they are mates. And they very recently had sex. 

Your wide eyes bounce between Simon and Johnny, lips parted slightly in surprise as you look your old crush over. He, like Simon, has bruises on his neck and their scents are very well intertwined. There's a smirk that’s playing on Johnny’s lips, and he’s unashamed by the indication of their sex life, something you had just stumbled upon. 

“Now what’s that look for sunshine?” Johnny teases you, his nostrils flaring as he inhales, filling his lungs with your perfume and scent. “Are you getting shy, little bonbon?” 

“I am not!” You squeak and dart under his arm, pulling away from him to create a little distance and when you look at Simon, you can see the shift in his eyes. The amusement that seems to briefly flicker in his brown eyes, though he’s stoic and silent. “I have to take my seat-” 

“Aye, yer between Simon and myself. Lucky omega.” Johnny reaches past you toward the seating chart and plucks the three cards with your names on them off the board, handing one to you. You notice on the bottom of the cardstock is a table number that matches the seat number, and you are wholly aware that Johnny is right. For the ceremony and the rest of the night, you’ll be placed between the two alpha’s. 

“That’s fine, it’ll be fine.” You don’t allow any nervousness to shine through, because this is Johnny, and you knew him. You harboured a huge crush on him when you were younger, even if there were years and distance between you that didn’t make a difference. You were comfortable around him, and this would be a chance for you to catch up. 

“This way, sunshine.” Johnny’s arm returns to being wrapped around your shoulders and he steers you away from the entrance of the venue to the seats. He escorts you while Simon follows, still silent yet obtusely observant of the whole interaction. His eyes were burning into your back as you walked with Johnny, deep and intense stares making your heart skip a beat—just as it had with Johnny. 

“So, bonbon...” Johnny struck conversation when you were seated between two hulking alpha’s, his hand resting on your knee, his blue eyes searching your face, “what does little miss sunshine do for work?” 

You feel heat beneath your skin, warmth that spreads when you feel the two of them staring at you. And although Simon has been silent, that only seems to spur you to get him to talk. You had looked at him from the corner of your eyes, his arm draped across the back of your seat, his fingers lightly brushing over Johnny’s shoulder. It was a subtle yet intimate act, one that had only furthered the heat bubbling beneath your flesh. 

“I teach in a primary school.” You don’t know why you feel so bashful when you say it, your voice is so low and quiet. 

“Awe that’s fitting for a ray of sunshine like yerself.” Johnny’s croon is enticing, and your head snaps up in his direction, your eyes boring into his own. “Sweet little thing-” 

“Ava said you’re a soldier.” You make the statement, only intending to push the attention and conversation onto someone else, yet you don’t expect it to the catalyst that finally makes silent Simon speak. 

“We both are.” His voice catches you off guard, the rich and deep baritone sends a shiver through you and your attention quickly falls to him. He leans in slightly, the brush of his chest against your shoulder catches you off guard and your drop your gaze to avoid his intense stare. There's something that you almost miss, an almost incoherent sound of an alpha that relates to them being pleased. You don’t know if it’s from Johnny or Simon, but it doesn’t really matter either way because it still makes you feel weak. 

“SAS, bonbon.” Johnny grins and reaches for you, subtly cupping your chin to draw your attention back toward him as he takes the last few minutes before the ceremony starts to hold your gaze again. “Yer such a sweet omega, ya know? You always were special, cute little sunshine.” 

That hold breaks when the music for the wedding stops, and the guests start to stand. You wait for a single moment, in order to catch your breath before you stand on shaky legs—making the astute observation that between Johnny and Simon, you feel tiny.

Top 100 American Baby Names of 2025 Sorted by A/B/O Dynamic

Something I've seen under-discussed is the fact that in an Omegaverse setting, names would probably be sorted not just as male/female but as alpha/beta/omega as well. Names would be more dynamic, as names commonly go from masculine/feminine to neutral in our world, but they would stay generally consistent.

Here's what gender I think each of the top 100 American baby names of 2025 would be, sorted by vibes and vibes alone. The names in bold are names that I 100% think would be used only for that dynamic, and would seem weird on any of the others.

WIP WedFriday

Thank you @cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal for tagging me <3 Because the F1 season is starting this weekend, I just had to share a snippet from my F1 AU. I don't want to spoiler too much, so it's a short, strategically cut snippet.

*~*~*~*

“Belgium was uneventful.”

“So uneventful that it has left you with trouble focusing?” Nat puts the cap on her fountain pen before putting it aside. “I know you, Ava. I know when something is bothering you. Are you sure you’re alright?” 

Ava sighs at the genuine concern on Nat’s face. “I’m fine, I promise. Like I said, it was quiet, and I’m not used to it being this quiet anymore.”

“Worried about the calm before the storm?” Morgan asks as she walks into the library. She leans against the table at which Ava and Nat are sitting. “You might be onto something. I heard they’re sending an alpha unit away all of a sudden.”

Nat raises her eyebrows. “I didn’t know you had contacts among the local units.”

Morgan grins. “Oh, I had some extensive contact.” At Nat’s sigh, she shrugs. “Anyway, they were called away yesterday evening, said something about Lummo or Luman or something like that.”

Tagging: @wayhavenots, @carriehobbs, @agentnatesewell, @nat-seal-well, @delucadarling, @crownleys, @thee-morrigan, @lalizah and anyone who wants to do this!

Nouk Lolita hair + Alpha edits in Afterglow

When I did this mesh in Pooklet textures, I only did the original alpha, but there's a few alphas and variations out there, so I did a few more this time!

Nouk Lolita hair, all ages, 3604 polys Download

Nouk Lolita hair Zesta02 Zoen alpha Download

Nouk Lolita hair Zesta02 Short alpha Download

The original alpha + Zesta02's 'Zoen' alpha + Zesta02's short alpha (slightly edited the side bangs to be shorter for more variety). All have one binned natural family in one package, plus 8 unbinned afterglow customs. Then there's a couple of families of binned streaked customs: for the original alpha, I pinched @spell-bloom's idea of doing coloured side bangs modeled on @horusmenhosetix's Ava Cadavra retexture, but added more colours to make it a family (black x lavender, brown x dark red (pictured), blond x mint, red x pink). Then I borrowed @mrs-mquve-cc's streaked version, moved the scalp streaks to fit my texture, and made a family based on those (black x darkred (pictured), brown x mint, blond x teal, red x green). Fully compressorized, labelled, mesh is included in the zips.

Buy me a coffee? I have a Ko-Fi!

credits: Nouk for the mesh, Zesta02 for the additional alphas, Antoninko for the afterglow textures and actions! check @the-afterglow-archive for more Afterglow ₊˚⊹♡

Summary: Derek has a quiet moment, reflecting on his life and his little family as the New Year counts down to midnight.

Derek smiled as he studied his family.

Stiles was asleep on the couch with Ava tucked against his chest and of course, she was shifted. Derek knew that she loved being shifted because she had more freedom as a pup than she did as a baby and he’d be sad when she stopped shifting around the age of five. It would feel like an eternity to both of them until she could fully shift again after she was eighteen, but he also knew it would feel like time flew by the time his little girl was on her way to being an adult and starting a life of her own. And maybe one day, her own pack.

Elijah was hanging upside down off the couch, his head resting on Derek’s shoulder as Derek sat on the floor. His little family had tried their best to stay up until the new year, but they’d been fast asleep for about an hour now and there were less than thirty minutes left until midnight.

The night had been eventful with watching their children’s favorite cartoons and letting Elijah drink sparking white grape juice as he pretended he was an adult, but they both knew they only bought it for Stiles since Ava was still nursing. They’d played the Floor is Lava with Stiles being the safety zone and Derek had more than once let Elijah win like he always did.

Not for the first time that night, Derek thought his life was perfect. After everything he’d been through, after all the pain and loss, he couldn't ask for more than what he had right now. Ever since he’d met Stiles and Elijah was born, he thanked whatever powers that be in the universe for letting him have this little slice of happiness. Even more so after Ava had been born, and especially now that Stiles was pregnant again.

They’d both always wanted a big family, each for their own reasons, and Derek felt like he was building a life that he could be proud of. One that he knew his family would have been proud of him for. He had a mate, he could take care of his pack, and they were living a perfectly mundane life filled with so much love and happiness that it sometimes hurt Derek’s chest with how much he felt for Stiles and their children.

After the fire, he never thought he’d be able to feel like this again. He never thought that he would be able to love anyone ever again. He was glad that he was wrong.

Derek raised his hand to gently stroke over Elijah’s hair, which caused Elijah to rumble with that little sound that Derek knew meant he was happy. Stiles always made fun of Derek when Derek made that sound too, telling him that he was teaching their son bad habits. He knew Stiles didn't mean it and they always laughed about it.

He carefully shifted until Elijah was sliding down his shoulder, still fast asleep, until he slid into Derek’s arms. Derek cradled Elijah against his chest. He smiled as Elijah curled against him, purring as best a werewolf could, and stood. He scented Elijah’s hair and walked him to his room, carefully tucking him into bed and brushing his hand over his hair again before he left and did the same for Ava.

Once the kids were in bed, he returned to the living room and smiled down at Stiles, who was still sleeping. Derek sat on the edge of the couch next to him, glancing at the muted television that had Times Square in New York on, waiting for the ball to drop. They still had some time and he thought about not waking Stiles, but then he felt Stiles’ hand on his thigh.

Derek’s gaze returned to his sleepy mate, finding Stiles blinking up at him and yawning.

“Kids in bed?” Stiles asked, voice groggy. He stretched and then slid his hand to hold Derek’s, relaxing back against the couch.

“I just put them to sleep… the three of you have been asleep for a little while. I didn't want to wake you.” Derek laced his fingers with Stiles’, bringing his hand up to place a kiss on the backside.

“Did we miss the ball drop?” Stiles asked, glancing at the TV which would answer his question, but Derek knew that he’d wait for his response all the same.

“Not yet, but it’s soon. Did you want to skip it and go to bed?” Derek glanced at the TV and they still had at least five minutes until the countdown started.

“No, we’ve made it this far. Or, well, you did. But I’m up now.” Stiles chuckled and sighed, then sat up on the couch, crossing his legs under him.

“It was a valiant effort,” Derek replied with a grin, reaching out for Stiles and dragging him into his lap. Stiles moved easily enough, draping his legs over Derek’s as he settled and wrapped his arms around his neck.

“Maybe next year the kids will make it to midnight… or maybe at least I will.” Stiles laughed softly, nuzzling against Derek’s neck as Derek’s hand slid onto Stiles’ belly. He wasn't showing yet, but Derek knew they were both imagining that Stiles was already growing a tiny pooch, despite them both knowing it was more likely a food baby at this point in Stiles’ pregnancy.

“I think we both might miss midnight next year with four children underfoot.” Derek’s other hand smoothed up Stiles’ back as Stiles scented him, glad that it comforted Stiles, especially since he knew it would help him the further along his pregnancy went.

“You’ve got a point,” Stiles replied and smirked as he drew back. “But I’m sure we will still all try.”

They looked at the TV when the countdown started and Derek thought about how different the following New Year's Eve would be. If they got the twins they both wanted, they’d have four kids, and if they still had only one, they’d both be happy with their little pack of three children.

“So, Derek Hale,” Stiles started, his fingers playing at the base of Derek’s skull, teasing the hair there. It sent a shiver down Derek’s spine and his smile was soft, his eyes full of love as he held Stiles. “I think you owe me a New Year’s kiss.”

Derek’s hand moved from Stiles’ back, trailing up until he wrapped his hand around the back of Stiles’ neck and gripped firmly as the seconds ran down on the television. He drew Stiles into a kiss as the horn sounded, pouring everything he felt into it. The kiss was passionate, yet gentle and he grinned as he scented Stiles’ arousal.

Stiles was flushed and laughing softly when the kiss broke. “I think I’m awake now,” he teased. “And you need to take me to bed and breed me while we can,” he whispered, fingers dancing across the mark on Derek’s neck that marked Derek as Stiles’.

“Your wish is my command,” Derek replied, his arms moving to cradle Stiles and he stood, sending Stiles into a fit of quiet giggles. Derek loved it when Stiles was happy and he knew that he’d spend the rest of his days making sure they were always like this.

As long as their hearts were beating and their lungs were filled with breath, Derek knew he had everything he’d ever need for the rest of his days. His life was perfect.
