I never expected you guys to like demon Senjuro so much lol I’m really happy to see that like it was such a random impulse thought but the au has a lot of room for growth

In this post Im gonna establish a few things about what happened to Senjuro and Kyojuro in the events between Senjuro’s “death” and the pillar meeting. I will only cover their relationship and a little bit of Senjuro’s relationship with Tanjiro. The others can come at a different post cause this post is gonna be long lol so I put it under cut cause no one really wants a post to flood their dash

TW: Mentions of death (some are children), mentions of cannibalism (If you’ve seen even the first episode of demon slayer and had no problem, you’re fine with this post. This post is slightly not anime only friendly as I make references to an upper moon and I show a manga only panel as of posting this) Shnjuro gets really depressed but luckily there is no attempted suicide

Senjuro Rengoku

- His class was at the bottom floor and they were cleaning the school (I heard thats a thing in Japan if someone has a better idea on what they’re doing feel free to shoot an ask) when they got attacked

- In canon we dont know his age but I’m gonna guess like 12-14 but in the au he is 13 so he was 12 when he became a demon. A rogue demon attacked Senjuro’s class and Senjuro ran to get help and was fatally injured but still managed run to get help as he was given a nichirin sword and even if it didnt change color he must have known breathing techniques at the very least on a basic level and the demon was too preoccupied with some of the teachers and others trying to kill the demon, of course unaware of what it was except for Senjuro

- Upper moon 4 was sneaking around when he saw the all but dead body of Senjuro and demons really dont have standards for turning people into demons so when he noticed he was alive, turned him into a demon mostly so that if he did find any “evil people” (demon slayers) he could use him as his meat shield alongside his personalities

- When Senjuro woke up as a demon (cause even if he was a breath user he was very inexperienced so Hantengu had no problem making him a demon), he had no memory of his life as a human and looked around trying to find a human to satiate his hunger and saw a human in the distance with someone and began to run to them to satiate his hunger when he felt himself being held back.

- The spirit of Ruka Rengoku gently held her son back and instructed him to not eat humans as that’s not something he should do and even if Senjuro couldn’t recognize the woman holding him back, he found himself obeying her and running to go to a place to hide from the sun

- From that moment on for a few day he would hop from place to place whether underneath homes, in caves or any place he could find to avoid being seen and to be shielded from the sun and found himself growing sleepy so in the cave he hid in, far away from the place he was last in, he closed his eyes and fell asleep for a year

- When he woke up, he had unwittingly burnt away Muzan’s control of him and was unsure on what to do when Ruka’s spirit appeared again telling him that he needs to find his way home. Senjuro wasn’t actually listening to a lot of what she said except one thing stuck to him.

- “Senjuro”, he didn’t know what his name was as a demon but the name seem to stick to him and he figured this must be his name (he would of course be correct)

- When he found himself staying with the Kamaboko squad, having been spared despite being a demon due to him not having any form of aggression to them (something they all noticed due to his general demeanor and their enhanced sense) and Tanjiro could smell he hadnt eaten one human and he invited him to join them. He joined Nezuko in her box (she can grow really really tiny if she wants or is tired)

Reference:

Kny chapter 85

- He joined for two reasons: One, he was really scared of people and demon slayers especially so when Tanjiro offered him the chance to be able to be safe and hide he took it. Secondly, he wasn’t sure but the smile Tanjiro gave and his warm reassurance reminded of him of someone, when he thought hard he only saw blurry shadows and got a headache so didn’t try to push it

- Tanjiro did ask him in the wisteria house while Zenitsu was chatting with Nezuko and Inosuke was off being Inosuke about his past and Senjuro told him about his brief meetings with a woman with black hair and asks if they’ve met before as he feels familiar

- This is where he gets the idea that the woman with black hair (Ruka) is his mother and Tanjiro guesses that the person that he thinks is Tanjiro must be his father (right on the first part Tanjiro but wrong on the second lol, you tried)

- He wears a cyan yukata with a new hakama pants as the clothes he was previously wearing was the same bloodstained clothes he wore after turning into a demon and Tanjiro didnt want to leave him in that. Tanjiro thought to get him a gag but the idea made Senjuro uncomfortable so Tanjiro made him swear to never eat a single human

- In Mount Nagatumo, he was too scared to jump out to protect Tanjiro like Nezuko but when she gets sliced up he leaves the box to watch her while Tanjiro fights Rui, unfortunately he is caught in Rui’s webs like Nezuko and was saved from it by Nezuko flames (though it did burn him a fair bit, Nezuko would apologize to him for this later)

- Giyuu doesn’t kill Senjuro cause his resemblance to Kyojuro despite the different clothes and demon eyes is clear to anyone who can see and Shinobu also finds herself hesitating but shakes those feelings off as Kyojuro deserves better than to see his little brother as a demon. Luckily Giyuu stops him and Senjuro runs with Nezuko and Tanjiro but is later taken back to the demon slyer corps by a Kakushi who put him and Nezuko back in their box

- When Sanemi stabbed the box, he moved to try and protect Nezuko but the box was too cramped and they both got stabbed despite his efforts. Later when he tries to bait him with his marechi blood, he’s too focused on resisting the blood and on Nezuko who he had grown to see as a sister to care about the wide eyed looks the pillars were giving him.

Kyojuro Rengoku (I am so sorry in advance Kyojuro simps I put this man THROUGH IT)

- He had just finished a mission and was going to get another mission when a crow he hadn’t seen work in years came flying to him, obviously panicked telling him how Senjuro’s school was attacked and how no one can find Senjuro among the bodies. The crow was Shinjuro’s

- When he hears that, all the kakushi and other demon slayers present would say they had never seen the flame pillar run so frantically, he only stopped to apologize briefly if he bumped into someone while running but the only thing racing in his mind was his little brother who had no weapon to defend himself with. He forced the image of his brother being nothing but a corpse away only thinking about saving Senjuro

- When he reached the school, he forced himself to calm down. Panicking isn’t going to magically bring Senjuro to him so he needs to keep himself in check because with so many people dead, he’s not the only one concerned over the kids

- There were no survivors on the area that was attacked, the police were there investigating the deaths of the many children and teachers, Kyojuro had to spend time convincing the police he was with them and to be allowed to investigate as well

- With no survivors, he heard from the police that there was a blood trail when they got there and he went to find the trail, when he reached the end of it where there were no traces of Senjuro but since the people there were untrained civilians, Senjuro was the only possible person to have been there

- He spent multiple days searching, Mitsuri was at one point sent to check on him and it was clear he was pushing himself, as days passed by, his composure and bright demeanor were crumbling and he started latching onto any lead to at the very least find the body of Senjuro to take back home but it was becoming clear that he would never find it and a kakushi had to be the one to tell him that his body was likely eaten to the bone or eaten and discarded to either rot away or eaten by someone else

- Kyojuro took a week off, not just because of the grief he felt at that moment but because he needed to check on his father and make sure he would be okay, the man didn’t even face Kyojuro when he came in to visit, he forced himself to not cry in front of his father as he tried to talk to the man who couldn’t even say a word and just drank away even as his eldest son tried to talk to him

- Servants were hired to monitor Shinjuro by Kyojuro as he was concerned about his health both physically and mentally but he did notice how Shinjuro never resisted to being taken care of by the people he hired. They reported to him he could be heard muttering Senjuro’s name and even stares at his room for extended periods of time

- When he made his return, he apologized to the pillars for his behavior the past two weeks (even though no one blamed the man, some even said it was okay if he needed more time, they wouldn’t judge) but whenever he was told that he said he had to be strong to protect the weak so he could be someone that could stop families from ending up like his own

- He was far more determined in killing demons, demon attacks had become personal to him now, whenever he saw a demon eating people he found himself wondering what they must’ve thought in the afterlife as the demon desecrated their bodies

- In the pillar meeting, when he was informed of a swordsman who travelled with not one but two demons, he felt disgust as who knows how many humans they could eat. On the way to the meeting, he couldn’t help but notice Shinobu deliberately avoiding him a bit, Giyuu was doing the same but the man never really talked with them much to begin with

- When he saw Senjuro go out of the box with Nezuko, he felt the smile on his face drop and his heart practically sunk to the core of the earth as he saw the unmistakable hair of a Rengoku and the face was so clearly Senjuro’s despite his eyes having a black sclera and his iris and pupil becoming cat like, the pillars had all turned to see if the flame pillar was alright and he could hear Himejima mutter prayers and Mitsuri was on the verge of tears seeing Senjuro alive but as a demon

- He found himself going into denial until Tanjiro, who had been freed as Obanai left to comfort the distressed love pillar, ran and yelled Senjuro’s name and told him to resist his hunger

- “My sister and the other demon with us are different! They would never eat a human!”

- Senjuro was a good kid, he was innocent, kind and a bit on the timid side. He had helped raise him, he knew Senjuro would never want to harrm a fellow human even when threatened.

Micah with a S/o thats meaner tham him but not too him.. Like their chaos wibe with the gang also feel free too add fluff or other things!! Ohh also new here luff ur stuff grl🥰

i was just getting ready for bed and this idea came to mind, so i guess im writing this now before i forget it all xD

i got distracted about thinking how a mean person would end up with Micah, so this is mostly focused on that idea.

gn!Reader!!

* When you and Micah first meet, you do NOT get along. There’s a clash of personalities and the two of you quickly begin bickering and arguing within camp.

* Most camp members just sit back and enjoy the show. You get along with everybody well, but they dont interupt as they enjoy watching someone put Micah in his place.

* Whenever the two of you argue, Micah will do that usual drawn out laugh whilst he mocks you. Typical Micah behaviour.

* You try your best not to show it, but it makes you see red. All you want to do is punch him square in the nose, and you have done before.

* Micahs hits the ground with a thud, but begins his laughter again as he watches you storm off. This is all just a game to him.

* But Micah soon realises that he loves that sight, the sight of you defending yourself and laying a finger on him for whatever naughty thing he’s done that day.

* At first, he thought he just had respect for you. But he catches himself staring at you on more than one occasion, and eventually realises that oh shit, he’s got a thing for you.

* Should he carry on the way he is? Should he try and act nice so he can begin flirting with you?

* Why not both?

* You’ve trailed back to camp one night after going the Saloon. A fight sprung out and you’ve caught yourself a nice black eye and some bloody knuckles.

* Micah’s sat at the campfire, as always, and neither of you pay any attention to each other as you take a seat by the fire and begin patching yourself up.

* Micah finally perks up, asking you what happened. After you tell him the story, he lets out that usual laugh.

* “Such a delicate thing, ain’t you?”

* You throw him a funny glance as you disagree with him, making him shake his head as he lets out another laugh.

* “You know you are. So delicate, so pretty. Guess you’ve gotta put on that tough act so people don’t walk all over you.”

* Delicate? PRETTY?!?!?!

* “What the hell are you talking about, Micah?” you snap.

* He lets out a chuckle as he watches you lift up a pocket mirror and hold the rag to your black eye, trying to place some ointment on it to stop the swelling.

* “Come here,” Micah says as he stands up, walking over and settling right beside you. He puts his hand out but you swat it away, making him chuckle again.

* “What do you think you’re doing, Micah?”

* “Tryna help.”

* “I don’t need your help.”

* “Yes, you do,” Micah tells you as you let out a hiss, accidentally getting more ointment in your eye.

* “Here,” Micah says as he practically tears the rag from you

* You’re about to start protesting again but he’s already began dabbing the ointment on your bruise.

* You stiffen up, still unsure on how to react. Do you push him away? Throw some of the ointment into his eyes then kick him into the fire?

* Instead, you just sit there, letting Micah care for you.

* Your mind is suddenly foggy, unsure on how to feel about Micah now he’s personally helped care for you. Just like Micah, you question how you view him until eventually realising that you may have just a little crush on him.

* You also catch yourself staring at him often. Well, he catches you. Micah will give you a nod whenever you do it, almost as if he’s saying “I know what youre doing.”

* One day, Bill finds himself in an argument with Micah and things look like they’re about to turn physical.

* You don’t even realise what you’ve done until you’ve already done it.

* You’d stormed over and stood between them, pointing a finger at Bil as you say “Bill, walk away before I drag you away. Alright?”

* Bill had thrown you a puzzled look, unsure why youre defending someone you hate, but walked off.

* The whole camp was staring at you, and thats when it sunk in. You just defended... Micah?

* “Darlin’, you didn’t have-“

* “Shut up.” You cut Micah off, frowning at him before storming off.

* You spend the next few days alone, questioning over and over why you’d done it.

* On another quiet night, when most of the gang is asleep, you go for a walk and eventually settle on the cliff of Horseshoe Overlook, looking out at the landscape as you attempt to clear you head yet again.

* Micah appeared, grinning from ear to ear. “I still need to thank you for what you did the other day,” he tells you.

* “No you don’t. Leave me alone,” you tell him, though your voice remains calm as you keep your eyes fixed on the scenery.

* “Awh, don’t be like that,” Micah pouts. “C’mon, sweetheart. Just let me thank you.”

* “I told you to leave me alone, and I ain’t your sweetheart,” you tell him, your voice turning a little firmer.

* “You want me to go sit on the other side of camp so you can stare at me instead?” Micah asks with a laugh.

* Your head snaps over to him, eyes wide as you realise what he’s just said.

* “That caught your attention, didn’t it?” Micah grins.

* “I don’t do that, though I’ve definitely caught you staring at me on the occasion,” you tell him, trying to get the upper hand.

* “You’d have to be staring at me first to notice that,” he confidently replies.

* “So, you admit it? That you do stare at me?”

* “I do, and what?”

* You frown as Micah replies. He shrugs as if it’s a totally normal thing to do.

* “Why do you do it?” you question.

* “I told you before, you’re pretty, and pretty things like you deserve to be admired,” Micah replies as he shifts his weight, his body now turned to face you.

* “Then why do you fight with me so often?”

* “Weren’t they just play fights?” Micah questions.

* “I don’t think me punching you in the jaw classes as a play fight,” you frown.

* “Look, if that’s how you want to flirt with me, then go ahead. Hell, I enjoy it,” Micah chuckles as he grins.

* You turn towards Micah, beginning to get defensive. “I don’t flirt with you, Micah! You’re delusional!”

* “If you don’t, then you won’t like it if I do this-“

* You’re about to ask him what the hell he’s on about, but a surprisingly soft pair of lips are placed onto yours.

* Do you push him off? Then push him off the cliff? Maybe kick him into camp and wake everybody up so they can kick him off the cliff?

* Instead, your arms wrap around his neck as you kiss him back, making him chuckle softly against your lips before his tongue slowly finds its way against yours.

* Needless to say, the camp is... confused when they see you sprawled over Micahs lap a few days later.

* Micah loves watching you snap at people, camp members or strangers. His adrenaline begins pumping as he watches you throw a stranger into the mud for making a nasty comment about you.

* Micah roots you on so much. He’s your personal cheerleader, until he joins in the fight.

* There’s nothing he loves more than seeing your furious expression turn to mush as you look at him after arguing with someone. He loves knowing that he has you on his side.

* He definitely calls you “my hellfire” as your petname. Because you’re stubborn and strong, but you’re his.

What can I say I like a climb.

Thorin xhalf elf!reader

A/n:Bruh imagine having a crush on Andy from the office before just because you had a dream about him dressing up as Gaston and coming to your old high school only to see you slip on the grass. Yeah it happened a couple of months ago when I was still in high school

Summary:growing up as Gandalf's adopted daughter ,being apart of the company only to pass through Rivendell,only to make thorin rage with jealousy

Word count:1921

It was no secret that Gandalf wasnt your real father, you both looked nothing a like. However this didnt stop him loving you like you were his actual child,you werent sure if wizard could have children. You wondered if he ever got horny,it disturbed you but you did wonder. Anyways yiu didnt know your parents ,they were killed by orcs ,Gandalf found you crying as babe ,and thats all you know. You were half elf ,half human ,mostly Thorin didnt like that very much when he found out ,it just meant you lived longer than a human would.

So how you ended up in the company of Thorin Oakenshield was; simply because Gandalf didnt want to leave you with the elves again ,or leave you at home where you could be in more danger. You were more than capable of defending yourself,due to your many vists with Elrond they had trained you very well. You also became best friends with Lindir since he was responsible for most of your training ,plus being your tutor. Lindir was also abandoned as a child but was taken in by Elrond. He grew to become a marchwaden.

Lindir was a shy elf ,as were you ,yet around each other you were very comfortable. Many of your visits he would have to carry to your room ,because you had fallen asleep against him looking at the stars while he told you a story. You both very much enjoyed each others company.

However your feelings towards the dwarven king were much different to how you felt about Lindir. You knew you liked him as soon as you saw him at Bag end ,yes you were very much taken back by his looks ,you swear you fell in love with him right then and there. Of course you thought he could never like you ;he's a bloody king. Oh how wrong you were. He had no choice but to allow you on this quest ,being gandalf,s daughter and all. Gandalf told him to basically to shut the fuck up ,you were coming.

Thorin would never admit it but he did always make sure you were safe,and eating ,covering up with shes such a burden,or whatever. What about when he found out you were part elf? Yeah so you had just bathed and your hair was wet and pushed back and he saw your ears he was like

"you are fucking elf?" he had literally grabbed your elf ,whilst you were standing up ,looking at it ,you had groaned at the contact. Lets pretend that didnt make want Thorin touch your ears more roughly."part,not full,cant you tell compared to elves im an orge." and with that you had pulled your ear from his dwarven fingers walking away. He was left in shock ,how you could thik so low of yourself. shrek is hot though,but you thought you were an ugly orge.Thorin didnt like elves,but he definitly liked you had thought you were absolutely beautiful. With your e/c eyes ,h/l h/c hair,your height ,our form your personality everhting.

Anyways you had just arrived at Rivendell,Lindir hadnt seen you in a while ,and hadnt noticed you yet. You were led to dinner ,with was all veg,you had to agree with ori you could do with some chips right about now,or even some lembas bread. You werent surprised that he didnt recognise you you had developed more in body wise plus you were muddy and wearing a big coat and hat. He had looked for you when he saw Gandalf but when he couldnt see you he assumed you were at home ,he was disappointed..

Kili was sat next to you and Bofur ,he was admiring the elves,saying they didnt have enough facial half. "though that one isnt bad." he had gestured to a male elf,making the whole company burst out with laughter. "that isnt a elf maiden." kili face flashed red in embarrassment. You had nudged him still giggling "dont worry,young prince, I know which male elf I would fuck too." you had smirked eyeing lindir ,of course you wouldnt but if you had to you would. The company had laughed again "shes got a dirty mouth laddies." dwalin had pipped up, you smirked pulling off your coat and hat,as the company watched in confusion.

Standing up running over to Lindir ,jumping up onto him wrapping your legs around his waist,arms around his/ next. The company had gasped in shock."is she allowed to do that...?" bilbo had questioned,Thorin watched with a scowl on his face,Dwalin noticed laughing at his friend ,who scoffed. You had pressed a kiss to Lindir's cheek,who's arms now went around your back holding you to him,securely. "mellon, Its been a time." he had spoke placing you down,hugging you briefly. "it has indeed , I missed my bestfriend." you stood in front of him ,smiling ,thorin was still not convinced he was just your friend.

"youve grown mellon nin." he smiled ,speaking quietly trying to ignore the dwarves ,Thorin almost scoffed louder than a waterfall,as it was obvious what he meant. The dwarves watched carefually as the next thing out your mouth really made them think that they really didnt know you. "I know! my breasts have grown finally!" you had literally squished your boobs together over your tunic,making lindir blush in embarrassment ,but laughing. Kili and fili had watched you ,before looking at their uncle smirking ,he didnt even look at them. " i meant your slyness," you had giggled at him before hugging him again,before informing him you would talk to him later ,joining the dwarves again.

In which they all stared at you intensely. "so ,you and the elf then?" kili had spoken ,nudging you in the ribs like you had down to him earlier. "yeah we are bestfriends." thorin had scoffed,you had looked at him confused at this gesture. "just friends? right" his tone stern and disbelieving."we have been friends since I was a babe,thats all." you tried to hold eye contact with thorin but he just looked away with a hard expression. "but you said you rough it up with him." Dwalin tried defending his best bud. "it was a joke thats it,hes my bestfriend that all. not that it is any of your bloody businesses. " you stood up abruptly. "thank you elrond for dinner ,may I be excused."he had simply nodded his head ,you gathered your coat,and hat one for Lindir to come over taking them leading to you to your room.

His hand on your mid back,leading you away from the drama ,Thorin had watched you leave almost gulity for making you upset. Once he had gotten you to your room he had began to sort you a bath ,brushing through your tangled hair first,slowly getting you to relax."Ooooh I'm a dwarf I can give a joke ,but I cant take one, also my nose is bigger than my dick" you had mocked as Lindir finished your hair ,pulling you up shoving you in the bathroom. "you know they are only doing it because Thorin thinks you like me and not him. You mouth gapped open as he shut the bath room door aallowing your privacy.

You couldnt sstop thinking about what Lindir said so much so once you were in your night gown ,exiting the bathroom to meet with Lindir for a stroll in the gardens. You had tripped on your own feet, and Lindir didnt see as he was reading a book in a chair. Turns out you landed badly on your wrist ,screamed out in pain,Lindir became sonic rushing to you.You didnt even get a chance to explain before he rushed you to the healers. In which they gave you some herbs for the pain and wrapped up your sprained wrist,putting it into a sling.

Lindir had held out his arm for you ,and led you to a bench in the gardens ,your damp hair pushing it out your face in annoyance. Lindir notices this forces you to sit down,before he braids it swiftly ,before a voive clears their throat. Lindir finishes tying the braid off with a ribbon,he places a hand on your shoulder,before bowing his head at at someone leaving. You turn to see Thorin standing in front of you ,you quickly stand,hiding your arm in robe. You knew he would be furious if he saw what happen. His face is unreadable ,he's scowling as usual.

"uh..hi?" you had spoken unsure where to look,just generally confused why he was here. "you aren't together ,but he braids your hair?" he scowls ,you groan in annoyance,walking closer to him. "you know what you are bloody getting on my nerves, dwarf." you had growled out his eyes go wide slightly at your outburst,before returning into a scowl. "for the last time I am NOT dating lindir. The only reason he was braiding my bloody hair was because I sprained my wrist , and couldnt. Secondly even so he can because to elves and humans braids dont suggest we are bloody fucking." you had pointed your left hand ,pointer finger into his chest harshly. You tried not to go weak at the knees ,feeling the muscle he had on his chest.

Yet Thorin had became unbelievably calm as he forced you to sit with him on the bench,by guiding you with his hand on your mid back. "how did that happen?your arm." his hand reached over to move the robe from covering it,his hand lightly grazing the bare skin on your upper arm. Of course you were wearing an night gown under ,just incase you forgot. "..uh..weell i bathed ,then i walked out and tripped over my own feet ,thats it. Before you say anything thats why I was screaming not because lindir had his dick in me." you looked at him deadly serious ,he had sent you smile which was completely new to you.

"I believe you,y/n. I'm sorry for the way I werent around trying to find out if you were free to court?" you had choked at his words. "wait Lindir was right ,you do want to court me?" you had almost whispered ,he had nodded at you before you threw your one arm around him,hugging him tight ,which he does the same yet carefually,not wanting hurt your arm more.

"Lindir is going to tease me till the end of time,i swear."

bonus~in greenwood .

"and why does a half elf travel with dwarves." Thranduil had asked you circling you both , in reply you had jumped on Thorin ,wrapping legs around his waist.

"what can I say I like to climb" Thorin smirked at the elven king.

"guards remove her!"

"dont tell my dad!"

Hi! I hope ur having a good day. I saw a post abt black cats that was kinda sad but had a happy ending but still made me kinda sad. Do u have any cute headcaonons abt Virgils stuffed cat? Jiji I think? If not that's totally fine. Have some good vibes:💜🖤

aw shoot i hope u feel happier soon i hope this helps but its not rlly headcanons its mor origin story!

jiji is actually a big deal

because vee's regression wasn't revealed voluntarily, it was accidentally exposed and logan was mostly responsible for it (this is why his character arc takes place over the very first parts of the storyline, because of the guilt from this - LABD is his final act for his main emotional development essentially)

but logan is desperate to make it up to virgil, and after things have been spoken through a little bit and logan (and the others) understand what regression is, logan decides a spoken apology isnt enough

so one day he comes to virgil really awkward and blushing and aboiding vees eyes and holding a box with a ribbon on behind his back and hes actually so embarrassed that he wrapped it up like that its too sentimental its too much

but he sits virgil down and apologises again and virge is blushing like no oks no its ok dont apologise again pls just forget it happened

and logans like no see thats the thing i cant just forget this is important

and virgil feels so terrified of whats coming next, will he be kicked out? will logan try to cure him?

but logan shyly holds up the box and virgisl heart races because hes anxious about receiving and opening presents, its too much pressure

lo can see he is distressed and internally curses himself for not thinking about that, so he hurriedly undoes the bow and opens the box muttering 'uh i thought perhaps, since you have a dinosaur toy to embrace maybe...' and he pulls out a soft fluffy black cat toy 'you might appreciate having your favourite animal to hold too'

and virgil is just staring at it blankly so logan panics and keeps talking 'i cant forget about this because it is clearly an intrinsic part of who you are and.. well we care about you virgil, all of you, and if this makes you happy then... oh god you dont like it my apologies this was ridiculous i--'

virgils hands silently reach out a little, very shyly. he's looking down at their laps and logan doesnt comment on the way his lips appear to be trembling and he pushes the toy into virgils hands

and virgil squeezes his fingers in the fur and bites his lip as his eyes well up because he has never received a soft toy from anyone since he was an actual child, he always buys them for himself he never imagined anyone would get him one and soft toys are a huge huge comfort to him and its one of his favourite ever animals next to spiders

and he whispers 'thank u' surprised by how light and shaky it was, hes fighting his littlespace tooth and nail, he doesnt let himself regress but he does let himself bury his face in his new toy's fur to hide his tears for a few moments

'will you.. uh, name it?' logan asks stuntedly, clearly unsure if he should go or interact or how to interact

and virgil clears his throat and lowers the toy but cant help but hug it tightly to his chest 'uh.. i dunno, i guess' he pretends he hasnt already got a name 'i guess maybe.. maybe jiji i dunno..'

logan nods and its genuinely awkward for a few seconds and logan gets up and goes towards the door then turns back, then to the door again, then back and says 'i am glad you like your present. Please... do not feel afraid to ask for help should you ever need it' and hurries away

virgil doesnt take that request very seriously and logan doesnt realise he wants to play an actuve part in vees regression til several weeks later but jiji is still symbolic of logans acceptance of baby vee

sorry if this is a lil too deep for the monster blog, but you are the only monster content blog i know- do you know/have any observations on how to avoid writing monsters parallel to race? obviously i dont mean like "oops i accidentally wrote a racist stereotype!", i mean how do you write a story that is about monster oppression without pointing towards humanity as a reference point? i like anything that analysizes the potential human-monster relationship without being just depressing

first i wanna say i absolutely think these are things we should be talking about and this being a mostly lighthearted blog doesnt mean i think otherwise, because i love discussing tropes and i think part of wanting to appreciate/make good monster content is talking about the things that dont work as well as the things that do.

second, im a white person and i think its important to ackowledge that any analysis of this subject coming from me is unavoidably gonna be affected by my limited perspective.

i think the best thing we can do for this sort of trope is look at where its done well and where its done not so well. as always, intent is a big factor, as is authorship/the position the authors writing from. the shape of water is a great example of a monster character being written as a parallel to real life oppression but with tact. guillermo del toro has been very open that tsow is intended as an inverse of hollywoods history of monster movies in which the monster was a metaphor for the Other, a force to be feared and hated. guillermo del toro is also a mexican man; his work comes from a place of understanding that experience of being Other in america and from a more intimate understanding of the implicit racism of a lot of the classic monster movies he was inspired by.

some trope breakdown below the cut

some of the biggest (and most spot-on) grievances ive seen with metaphors and messages of oppression particularly in fantasy content are

treating a fantasy species as an overt, overly direct parallel to a specific real life racial group (think detroit become human, bright, etc)

having a monstrous or overall powerful species be feared for their destructive capability, and treating that fear as equal to systemic oppression (think the predator vs prey dynamics in media like zootopia)

having a monster character represent a specific minority group while excluding actual human characters from that group from the rest of the narrative

some possible ways to avoid/address these problems

work within your experience, drawing from your own feelings about being othered rather than appropriating from a movement you dont have a personal connection to (assuming that you dont. again, im writing from my own experiences/practices here) the fear of being treated as an outsider is fairly universal in one way or another and you can draw from that feeling without making a statement about a specific real life issue

you can have a big scary monster who still feels at a disadvantage among humanity by isolating them. keeping with the theme of fishpeople, i recently read a book called our bloody pearl, in which humans and sirens have been at odds for ages in a bloody feud, but the book avoids turning it into an oppression narrative by emphasizing that each group poses an equal danger to the other, just in different ways. if a lone monster of your choosing can take out an army of humans alone, theyre not going to be a believable underdog and its going to be harder to empathize with their plight

this ones the big one! have a diverse cast of humans! if the only character in your cast who has experiences with being ostracized for their appearance/culture/etc is also a horrifying inhuman monster, not only is that probably going to make for a boring unsubstantial relationship between them and human character(s), it sends a really uncomfortable message

not to go back to praising tsow, but one of the main reasons the creature and elisa have such a rich relationship is because she feels that, as a disabled woman who exclusively speaks asl, he understands her in a way many people dont. this is also reflected in her friendships. people who have experienced systemic ostracism are more likely to gravitate towards each other, even if their personal experiences are widely different. celebrate that!

this stuff doesnt have to be depressing. finding someone who sees you no matter who you are or the depths of your differences is a magical thing. you may not be able to entirely cut out human experience as a point of reference, if only because its presumably going to be humans receiving and responding to your work, and we tend to project. but thats not a bad thing!

and like as always consume media, analyze what works and what doesnt, get critique where youre unsure, and keep going with the understanding that it might take a few passes before you find a narrative that really hits.

#ask #hope this helps! i tend to get a little all over the place when the topic of tropes in monster media comes up #meta #what makes it a monster #Anonymous

Im kinda obsessed with I-Land right now. I love 23 boys and if possible i would like them all to debut but the elimination is in 30 minutes so im going to post my top 12 picks before it airs (kind of in order, kind of not, im biased, this is based on an unsure mixture of skill and personality, could change but most likely not):

1. Sunoo- BITCH!!! WTH!!! I JUST LOOK AT HIM AND MY SEROTONIN LEVELS BURST THROUGH THE ROOF!! He is a puppy!! He is amazing. If you didnt know anyone yet and you put all 23 boys in a line up. He will draw your attention with his sunshine smile :)))) he is so heartwarming. Most people be like "i have no filter" but they just be mean, but this guy is different, he literally has no ability to hide what he thinks but it never comes off as anything negative. He says "Me! I can do it!" but it's just endearing and never comes across as trying to show off. He says "there was a little bit of friction" and when the members look at himshocked, he looks at them shocked too.... theres no dull moment when he's in frame. It's so amazing how pure a person can be. But know that i am not just rooting for personality but for talent. his voice... His Voice!!! Vocally geonu and heeseung really slayed the butterfly performance but if you ask me, "save me" had a more emotional attack. His facial expression is just brimming of feelings. His voice is so raw. Also You know that part in save me where he transitions from head voice into chest voice really smooth??? You'll know what im saying if you see it. thats so fucking satisfying that i had to replay it so much. I definitely replayed the save me performance more times honeslty. And the way he dances!!! It might not be That refined yet but that's the charm... it's so raw and full of emotions... so like him. I can see myself stanning this group long term if he debuts with them.

2. Jungwon- tf i love this boy so much. his visuals already stood out to me when they were entering i-land, then his voice stood out to me in the first challenge... he did that hard ass choreography without any audible changes to his voice that i had to rewind that multiple times (more than the editor already did) then the moment i saw him dance the center in episode 4??? BOY???? BOY!!!! that was my breaking point... i can't believe im saying this about men but i already knew i would die for him... plus he is so sweet :((( his eyes are just so naturally cute but i was so shocked in the last challenge when he was able to pull off that fierce ass look.... i am devastated... im about the same age but my parental instincts are at work here. plus SPOILER ALERT to those who plan to watch he won first place in both the first and last challenge can everybody say jungwon ace

3. Geonu- my feelings for him are much like jungwon :((( except theres more parental instincts... and i say this despite being younger than him but whatever age is just a vibe... HE IS SO LIDDOL :((( i want to be his mom :(( at first, personality wise, it's hard to notice him bc he's a little calm and laidback... but its the little things that draw you to him :((( his glasses and hoodies just seem a little bit big on him and that just makes me smile for some reason... he cries silently when people are sent to the ground and he gets along well with the people... i noticed him first together with jungwon in the first i land challenge because they had the most stable performance. but i've never been more attached to him than when he sang butterfly (favorite bts song anyone??)... i honestly thought they could debut then and there and i wouldnt bat an eye... also it's so funny that the one thing i identified him with during the early episodes was the fact that whenever the camera pans to him, he just has the dead eye stare and parted lips (think: pokerface but confused) especially with the huge ass glasses but in the end the poker face thing that stuck to me became the thing that worked against him i cri

4. Jay- hold on folks this is going to be a long one. Jay has such a powerful personality that at first made me hesitant about liking him... idk he just seemed like the guy i would not vibe with in real life, but the longer time passed, the more he became one of my favorites and i root for him now like crazy. at first it was funny when they kept rejecting him for the vocal parts, but the more it went on, i was so sure that if it was me, i would have cried and dropped then and there, but it was so amazing watching him push through that and he didnt even lie about how he felt. his unique determination is such a breath of fresh air, a little heartwarming and oh so inspiring. i honestly learned a lot from just watching him. the time he went to the ground was so crucial to his development as a person, leader and performer. it was so mindblowing when he became the leader at the ground and even adapted heeseung's teaching methods. you know that meme "improvise, adapt, overcome?" he is the exact personification of that. what i loved about him the most is that even with his steely determination, he didnt enforce or project that on the other grounders, he just shared it with them. he understands when they need rest, encouragement or massages. he was such a caring leader. Skill wise- i can't say anything. He already proved himself so many times. Great dancer and potential vocalist. The mnet specials also show how much sweeter he is than the show shows him to be. He takes care of everyone, and has more of mother duck than street gang vibes (and he knows how to cook!!). And at the end, while he seems to be mostly self- oriented about debuting, he ends up spending most of his time teaching others and helping them improve. I just love him. Debut Jay 2k20!!!

5. Sunghoon- tf this guy is so cool and laidback that i didnt even pay much attention to him during the early parts but he just keeps crawling into my heart because so many members love him so damn much??? and he just goes along with them?? they want me to do triple axel while average people can't even do a single axel on a trampoline?? ok imma give them a double axel tho. jake is challenging me to arm flexing? yeah why not? k wants me to dance?? yeah lemme just spin 50 times. jay wants to shower together?? weird but im not strongly against the idea. ej wants to scare people? count me in. someone needs a hand to hold?? ok here's my warm hand to the rescue... everyone just wants to be his friend that he birthed my favorite sunoo scene "im cuter than him [jake]" and he was just like "yeah ok i guess so" sksjsk sunoo is that how you ask someone to be your friend jshdk??? and can i just say? as a figure skating fan, he has automatic +52536 points... and when the judges said he's the most natural performer out of them??? i vibed with that hard.. he dances well so naturally and he takes your attention without even seeming like he's trying to. that dance performance with k and jungwon?? i thought at first that his energy wouldnt catch up but damn boy my eyes were just trackingnhim the entire time unintentionallu that i had to rewind and he was just as great as all of them... with the additional benefit of being a stunt boy!! and though it might seem effortless, we saw that he practiced so hard for it. overall a 100/100 boy with a naturally charismatic personality that bleeds into his performance... as a fellow 02 liner i would also like to apply as his bestfriend thank you

6. Heesung- what can i say except he's a perfect boy ok thats it why are you still reading... jk... ok lets talk about him... skill wise?? I cried during the butterfly performance. i marvel at his vocal stability. his voice is so crystal clear. his dancing is so clean. his skills are superb but most of all, theyre already so refined. there's nothing more i could ask for. personaloty wise... i also have a lot to say... despite his celebrity status, it's awesome how he can make the other trainees comfortable with him. he's kind and soft and lovely.

but because i am me, i have to overanalyze people so idk skip this if you dont like that. for someone who's experienced being an academic achiever... i sure do vibe with his personality a lot... you know when there's a group activity and you're so sure you can lead it well but you don't want to? half because you dont want to come off as a show off and half bc you genuinely still have self-doubts, and you're scared of falling short of expectations. Also, you feel that if it all fails, you'll be responsible so you have to feel that everyone approves you before you can take leadership and show your entire thing. And the moment you feel validated and take the reins, you start unconsciously projecting your perfectionist attitude on people??? yeah... i love that despite being an almost perfect person he still has issues most people can find relatable and that, in addition to the talent makes me want to root from him. (im also going to take a stab and guess that his mbti is probs ixxp) i'll be honest tho, because its like 100 percent sure now that he'll debut, im not super attached to him??? i love him tho but he's just not in any danger so i can just let my support for him chill. i think amidst this, bc most of the trainees depend a lot on him, i mostly hope for him to take care of his mental health

7. Daniel- awww danielll... i went into i-land not knowing anyone's ages so i had a brief whiplash feeling when someone said daniel is 15... it's because he's so emotionally mature?? like he's such a supportive and caring person that it barely struck me the that he might be the youngest?? he already caught my attention when they performed "any song" bc they just seemed like they were having fun and doing their best without the pressure of whether they would win ir not, and for me that attitude is something you'd see from more experienced performers. and during the second ep when he just felt the need to comfort everyone bc he's got such a high score?? i loved that an i was so bummed out when they eliminated him. the save me performance was definitely a cherry on top that i just had to love him more than i already do... he may be young but he's as ready to debut as everyone else.

8. Jake- jake is just one of the people who showcased so much growth between ep 1 and ep 2. he already had the right attitude when they performed crown and he just had to improve skills and stage presence, and improved he did. despite being one of the trainees with the shortest training time, he was the one teaching the others by the end it just supports my theory that he might have been an ace as well if he just had the same amount of training as everyone else. im also truly in love with his mischievous antics. he seemed like an introvert to me at first but he came out of his shell and i love that. also i just crave more moments of him and sunghoon's friendship (they both seemed like introverts who found someone they could be extroverts with in each other) i am 👌this close to storming i land and demand that they let me join their merry little band of 2002 children

9. Niki- dance skills= 100 he's just so good it's unreal... it's insane... everytime he's on screen i hear boss musicand i cant even imagine him being younger than anyone, let alone taki. i get why some people dislike him but honestly i think it's just because they don't see him as a child... but he is. i was honestly a bit mad for him when they kept guilt tripping him into leading all of them, and i understood his tjought process when he thought he just kept failing everyone and when he thought things just kept backfiring on him. he is held on such a high pedestal and i dont think he deserves that kind of burden. as for me, it would just be a waste of talent to let him go. his attitude could still improve, as we'd seen when he eventually volunteered to help everyone. i also felt bad when he said that he's scared he might not be voted bc some people dont base on skills and i love him and i just want him to kmow that he's loved

10. Taki- what the hell can i even say?? he's the kindest softest boy ever. he tries to see the good in people and is very hardworking... he listens to people well and actually follow them, so he improves a lot... he knows people think he's cute and he tries and tries and tries to look fierce if the song calls for it... he is amazing

11. K- i really can't say anything, he really stands out during performances. also very pro at dancing. his choreography??? *chef's kiss* and i think the younger trainees depend a lot on him, besides heesung and so he's good at keeping the team together.

12. EJ- im really hesitant about the last person to be the twelfth i lander because it could almost be anyone and i wouldnt be too bummed out bc theyre almost all equally talented... the thing with ej tho is he already gets along well with the i landers and has harmony with other members. (plus see above: im a sucker for the 2002 line) i think its a tiny bit unfair to base it on this bc the others didnt even get a chance to show what they can bring to the group so im torn.

bonus: i wouldnt feel too bad if it were jaebeom (he has great voice, the producers think he's not too stand out bc he's weak at dance, but the i land is already so full of people whose expertise is dancing, so i think there should be someone who's specialty is singing), kyungmin (i really appreciated how hard he worked during the last test and it actually paid off, i honestly noticed him there even if he was always at the back. i also loved his determination and i was so touched when he and jaebeom were talking and he said "there's really nothing to do but believe in the impossible right?" it's just that the i landers were already ahead of him in terms of skills so he failed the votings) and hanbin (i've watched his cover videos and he's really good at dancing and stage projection. like i was honestly wondering why it wasnt showing in the performances :((( and he hadnt even had too much screentime to actually See what he's capable of.

#idk anymore #do you have the same rankings and reasons as me??#iland #lets talk #iland sunoo #iland jungwon #iland geonu #iland daniel #iland heeseung #iland sunghoon #iland jake #iland k #iland jay #iland niki #iland taki #iland ej

Birthday Sweetness || Wesley & Raye

What: Raye’s birthday surprises; Making things official and cute presents. Basically its just fluff. Where: Wesley’s place When: July 16, 2020

@icarialex

Raye was turning thirty, and there was no way that Wesley was going to allow himself to miss it. If the two of them were going to move forward, then they had to just embrace their present instead of dwelling on the past. So, that was what had him text her asking if she had plans for her birthday around dinner. When she’d accepted spending it with him, Wesley had asked her to come over to his house at around seven. Typically he’d have picked her up, but it just so happened that day he had a job off the isle. If he was going to get everything else ready and pick up her gifts, then he’d never make it to picking the voice actress up. When he heard the knock on his door, Wesley was just pulling the dough he’d prepped earlier out and placing it on the island. “Coming,” he called out as he wiped his hands with a towel before heading towards the door. “Hey birthday girl,” he greeted. “Come on in and embrace the thirties.” After debating what he should do for maybe five seconds, Wesley leaned down and gave her a kiss. Pretending like they weren’t going to try and work towards fixing things would do neither of them any good. Plus, it was a celebration!

It had been a surprise to get a text from Wesley about her birthday; sure they had talked, they had kissed and were on speaking terms…. And sure she had fallen asleep on his chest that night and she didn’t know what that actually meant for them. Yet somehow the text still had caught her off guard and made her heart flutter. She quickly responded that no she didn’t have any plans, they had only plans during the day with her friends and sister, and that yes, she would love to spend dinner with him. When he told her to meet up at his house she just went along with it, not having any idea what he had planned. Dressed simply in some black jeans, a striped black and green shirt, hair up in a messy bun she stood outside his house and smiled and knocked on the door. Seeing Wesley instantly brought a bright smile to her face, and his sweet tone only made it better. “I don’t want to embrace my thirties, I liked my twenties.” she playfully whined only to stop when she felt his lips on hers. She let her eyes close and returned the kiss. "I could get used to that again,” she said as her eyes fluttered back open. “So -- what’s this big idea you had? You were vague over texts.”

“You’ll rock your thirties. I mean, I make it look awesome, don’t I,” he asked teasingly as he led her further into the home. “You know, we can make that a regular thing,” Wesley responded in regards to the kiss. While they could dance around things for awhile, that wasn’t how either of them operated. For first timers maybe, but both of them had loved each other for years. The night he hoped started them back on a path towards happiness. He wasn’t naive enough to think they could immediately pick up where they left off because life didn’t work that way, but Wesley was ready to put in the work. A smile formed on his lips when she asked what they were doing that evening. “It’s good that you wore comfortable clothes,” he teased first. Building suspense was always fun. “Still, I got a birthday girl apron for you because I don’t want you to stain anything.” As he spoke, he held up the apron that he’d brought her and shook it slightly. “Well, first we’re going to make pizzas for dinner, and then we move to opening presents.” Yeah, presents. The silly apron was only part one of three.

Raye rolled her eyes as she followed him deeper into the house, unconsciously following where he stepped, unsure of whatever traps Mira may have laid around the house. "I can't lie, you make your thirties look fantastic. I guess it wont be that bad if I can make it as good as you" she chuckled as her cheeks slowly warmed. "Oh? We can?" she asked eyebrows shooting upwards, "I wouldn't mind that one bit." She added a moment later. And really, she wouldn't. Being with Wesley, being around him and kissing him felt like home. It felt right and brought her a sense of peace she hadn't had since -- well since she had left him. She glanced down at her clothes then back up at him, brow furrowed and a slight frown on her lips, but when she heard apron her eyes shot towards the kitchen then back to him. "Apron?" she asked realizing that meant they were cooking something. But when she actually took in the apron she froze in place. There on the apron was the logo of a video game she had lent her voice too and was that the character she lent her voice to peeking out of the pocket? Yup. There was the talking -- creature she had spent six months voicing throughout the open world game. "You got me an apron with Morgana on it?" she laughed "That's the sweetest thing." she took the apron from him and slid it over her head quickly tying it around her waist as he spoke. "We're making our own pizzas?!" She said clapping her hands together rather excited, "And you got me presents? Wes. You didn't need to do any of this you know... But thank you."

“You’re always beautiful, and I don’t see that changing. Plus, you really don’t look thirty. If someone looks at you and guesses you’re thirty, they’re lying out of their ass or cheated,” he said honestly. The woman looked like she’d barely aged a day since they had first started dating, so he doubted entering a new decade would be any different. “Um, yeah,” he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “I mean, I’ve been kissing you, holding you, and wanting to take care of you. That treatment is only for significant others. Should I have used my words to make that more clear?” In his mind, it had been obvious. The idea of asking her to be his girlfriend or fiancé again seemed silly. Like, which did he ask? She still had the ring after all. It was too complicated. Wesley was always proud of the work that Raye did. Even when they weren’t together anymore, he’d done his best to keep up with her career and support it. “I played the game and loved it,” he said honestly. “When I saw this, I just had to get it for you. It helped that it went well with tonight too.” He couldn’t help but smile at Raye’s excitement as he pulled out the dough that had been proving. The flour was already on the island along with his surface tablet to show them the YouTube video on how to make the pies. “Its your birthday. Of course I did. So, I learned that using a rolling pin is a big foul, so we gotta stretch the dough into a circle with our hands.”

Her cheeks warmed at the compliment, Wesley always knew how to make a girl feel special and adored. She had missed that the past year away from him, had missed his silly jokes and sweet words, no one she had met in her life compared to his ridiculousness or his kindness. She scrunched her nose and smiled at him as she laughed, "Or they're psychic. Could be one of our demi-god friends who can read our minds or something." she chimed in. She paused in her movements when she heard his explanation. "Wesley!" she laughed shaking her head, "I never want to make assumptions, so yes, using your words to be clear about where we stand I dont want to say one thing and you mean something else and then get wires crossed when talking to mutual friends. I don't want to assume we're one thing then hear from your sister or someone else that thats not what you actually meant." she said with a roll of her eyes. "Really! I'm so proud of you!" she chuckled. "And i'm glad you liked it, they'll appreciate knowing they have more fans out there." she still kept up with most of her former bosses, partly to see if they had more work, but mostly because they were always doing interesting things. "Well, I appreciate it" she said pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Its a foul to use a pin for pizza.. good to know. I have a feeling I'm going to end up punching a hole in mine." she said as she poked the fluffy dough.

”Being around all these demigods can be a big intrusion of privacy sometimes,” he said with a shake of his head. A lot of them were jokers too, so using their powers to mess with on another was definitely something that could happen. Wesley had been guilty of adjusting someone’s strength so they couldn’t pick up simple things or pulled a door handle too hard. It was hilarious. “Oh, words, right,” he said with a smirk and a nod of his head. “Well, then I guess we need to have a discussion which should be easier because I want to be with you so no fear of rejection or anything.” Not having to worry about being hurt always made things much lighter. Plus, after handling a much harder conversation and coming out pretty unscathed, they should be able to tackle anything. “You were my fiancé. Where do you see us picking up? I mean, do you want to be my girlfriend and put the ring back on when you’re ready or be a fiancé?” So complicated. That was why he didn’t like words.

Wesley bowed in thanks to her praise because being silly was always his default mode. “You know I follow anything you’re in, so anyone that hires you has me as a fan.” It wasn’t so much about the game or anything else as much as it was him loving seeing his girl’s work. “Probably, but we’ll both fumble through it. The mess ups are part of the fun,” he said as he poured some flour onto the island. “I have toppings too. Pepperoni, olives, basil, peppers, sausage, and stuff like that for us to mess with.”

A laugh escaped Raye as she nodded her head, "You're not wrong." she hugged, "Their powers mess with to many of us." she shook her head thinking on the fact that if she had just -- not listened to Ava she would have been fine and her life... her life would be totally different right now. She quickly pushed that thought far and deep deep down. Today was her birthday not a day to think about the sadness. "Yes, words" she teased scrunching her nose and shaking her head at him, she instantly smiled though and listened to him as he talked. "A discussion..." she nodded as she moved to pick up her little pile of dough and started to play with it. "Obviously there's no risk of rejection here." she said as she rolled it into a ball. "I --- I mean, in a perfect simple world, where we left off, but " she looked down then back up to him, "Girlfriend is for sure a good place to start. I didn't want to assume you'd keep up with anything I did after how we left things." she said pursing her lips but smiling, "I honestly figured you hated me for the past year." she continued as she tried to stretch her dough out. "Play the video lets try getting these pies made before my stomach makes its own album" Raye said just as her stomach started to growl. "Ohh good toping choices. We can make some yummy pizza."

”I mean, I’ve definitely pulled a few pranks, but being on the receiving end of it is not fun,” he whined slightly. For some that would make them rethink committing the pranks in the first place, but not Wes. All that told him was that he had to be on even more high alert to not be caught off guard. Hitting play on the video, he listened to the instructions and tried to use his hands and gravity do the work of stretching the dough. The guy made it look easy, but it so wasn’t going to be. Wesley just knew it. “Girlfriend it is,” he said with a smile. ”As long as you’re my girl, then I’m happy.” That was really all he needed to know. Everything else would sort itself out. After about three tries with the dough, he finally made a sort of decent circle with no holes in his pie. That was the win he was going to go with. ”So, not wanting this to take like three hours, I made the sauce that we’ll be using earlier,” he told her as he gestured towards the pot on the stove. It had cooled down which was good since it was going to go into the oven. ”As for hating you, I could never. I was hurt and angry, but I didn’t have it in me to hate you. Plus, that wouldn’t have made things easier. It just would have replaced the sadness with another all encompassing emotion that would be just as heavy.” In all his years the only person he ever hated was his mother’s first husband. Wesley didn’t even give him the decency of calling him a dad.

"Oh, what pranks have you pulled prank master?" she asked in a teasing voice as she watched the man explain stretching the dough. “How does he make it look so simple...” she muttered already having broken a hole in hers. Which caused her to rereoll it into a ball and try again. As Wesley spoke her cheeks warmed up and she smiled. "Well then you'll be happy to know that I'm all yours for as long as you want me," she said leaning over and placing a kiss on his cheek. It was so easy to slip back into their old ways, to just be themselves without the worries and fears, and honestly, that by itself was the best birthday present she could ask for. Raye was on her fourth try and puffed out her cheeks before finally getting a circle. "Stupid dough" she grumbled. She watched as he moved towards the stove and pulled out the sauce, "Smells yummy." she said getting a good whiff of it as it was set down. She took the ladle and poured some of the sauce onto her pizza before scooping more and looking to him "How much?" she asked offering to ladle it out for him. "Then, I'm glad you never slipped into that side of a breakup. Made this much easier..." she said after pouring his sauce. "Otherwise I would have returned and tried to break down all your walls and that would have been a pain, but I would have done it." Raye gave him a tiny smirk knowing that she would have figure out how to get passed the walls even if he had hated her.

Wesley smirked as he thought about the pranks he pulled. ”Oh, you know. I just recently made some delivery boy’s strength evaporate so much for a second that he couldn’t pick up the tiny box he was going to deliver. It was pretty hilarious,” he said with a chuckle looking back at the memory. Wesley wanted to say, “then forever,” in return to her words, but they’d just decided to start as boyfriend and girlfriend. That was proposal talk, which was hard to bit down on because he’d already done it before. It was all so weird. Still, he could handle a little bit of weird. ”Good. Just make sure you talk to me even if things are scary, okay? Then we’ll be fine. This whole thing will be something we look back on as what made us stronger one day.” He paused, “Thanks, babe,” he said as he smiled proudly. He’d come a long way from only being able to make grilled cheese dinners when he was eighteen. Thankfully, the community cooking classes offered at the university were a huge help. ”Um, the in between of extra sauce, and a little sauce. So, like Goldilocks portion.” There really was no better way to explain it. Fortunately their pies didn’t look like they’d be too thick which was good. He wasn’t a deep dish pizza guy. ”The idea of hating you is weird. I mean, I was really pissed at you and hurt for awhile when I was stuck in the hospital, but I can’t hold on to all of that for long. I’m just glad you came back,” he said honestly as he moved back to the island and pulled out all the different toppings they could choose from. He’d put them each in bowls, so it was easy for them to have access to all of the options. ”I didn’t ask, but where are you staying since coming back?” If she was staying in the same rundown kind of apartment as Gianna, he was seriously going to riot and complain to whatever board he needed to. Gianna had kept him at bay for a long time, but having two people he cared about there would drive him nuts.

Her mouth fell open as her eyebrows shot upwards. She let out a surprised little gasp and then shook her head as she punched his side. “Wesley! That’s so rude that poor boy” she said almost sounding truly offended, but the smile on her lips was a dead give away to the fact she was joking. “I will for sure talk to you about anything that freaks me out — or in any way involves you.” she said with a little nod. She works never make that mistake again. Besides, she wanted his opinion on everything anyways. It just made their lives so much better if they were just on the same page. “I like to think it’s already making us a stronger couple” She gave him a playful look “ Did you practice a lot while I was gone?” she asked as she tasted the sauce. “It tastes a bit — sweeter” she paused, licked a bit more off the tip of her finger, frowned, and looked at him. “missing something.” she said before leaning in on him and placing a small kiss to his cheek, then taking another taste test of the sauce. “Ah much better, you’re the sweetness,” she said tossing him a wink before she went back to smoothing out her sauce on the dough. “What’s that old saying, if you love something -- set it free?” she glanced to him “Well I set you free and you set me free and yet, we ended up back together. I guess that just means I’m yours” she winked and pulled out some cheese laying it ontop. “Oh, I rented a little apartment near the center of town, three-bedroom place, Delilah lives there with me, the third room is a makeshift studio.” she explained, she didn’t hate the place, but it wasn’t as nice as where they lived before everything happened. And it was nowhere near as nice as this. "You'll have to come over and see it"

Wesley waved off the concern and laughed. ”He’s fine! Builds character,” he joked back. ”Everyone needs to learn to laugh at themselves anyway.” People were often way too serious about themselves and life in general. There was a balance in being a prankster, a fine line between being a a jackass and a break from the seriousness of life. ”Then, you’re right. With that alone, we’re already much stronger,” he replied with a wink as she worked beside Raye to get their dinner in the oven. One of the things he’d missed so much from his girlfriend was how affectionate and sappy she could be. It wasn’t something everyone knew, but man, she had the ability to be incredibly corny when she wanted to be. ”I’ve missed how sappy you can be,” he teased lightly as he put cheese and pepperoni on his pizza. Wesley waited for Raye to be done decorating her pie before carefully maneuvering both of them into the oven. After quickly setting a timer, he leaned against the counter and chuckled lightly. ”Good because I didn’t like the whole being without you experience. Tried it and can comfortably say no thanks.” They had about twelve minutes until the pies were ready, so Wesley moved towards the bar to start making them something to drink. ”I’ll go over whenever you want me. What are you feeling to drink tonight?”

Raye just shook her head once more rolling her eyes at her boyfriend -- boyfriend. The idea of even thinking of Wesley her boyfriend and not fiance was odd. But she brushed the idea further back into her mind and smiled at him. His wink though made her blush and she slapped at his arm a smile still on her face. “Oh you haven’t seen half of it. It’s been a long while since I’ve been able to be sappy, you’re about to get months worth of sap” she said, placing some toppings, mostly pepperoni and jalapenos on her pizza before happily stepping back and admiring how nice her pizza looked. “I haven’t ever actually made my own pizza before.” she chuckled. . She watched as he moved their pizza into the oven and smiled brightly at him. His little smile and laugh had her stomach flipping as he looked at her but as he spoke her stomach felt like it was filled with butterflies. A feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time as well. “I can safely say it sucked too. So yeah, no thanks to that ever again.” she smiled moving to kiss his cheek. She watched as he moved to the bar and smiled. “Feel free to swing by whenever you’re near by the police department.” she then quickly explained the building and street name before smiling. “Surprise me -- but preferably something with rum in it.” she said. “So, pizza, jokes, some flirting and spending time with you, gotta say this is shaping up to be the best birthday ever.”

Wesley chuckled again at the woman and shook his head slightly at her antics. One of his favorite things about the two of them was that whenever they were around one another they were always laughing and having a good time. They could be doing something extravagant or something simple like making dinner, but they would make sure it was a great time either way. ”Should I start calling you maple or pine,” he joked lamely as he worked on making her a rum punch drink. He happened to have a lot of tropical juices in the house, so it worked out nicely. If only he was super fancy and had pineapple glasses. ”Me either, but we both like pizza enough to have it every once in awhile, so I figured it would be like most things and taste better from scratch.” There was very little foods that didn’t taste better when they were home cooked rather than ordered from a restaurant. ”Excuse ma’am, I’m a good boy and am never near the police department,” he teased. ”I can go out of my way though to visit a pretty lady. Plus, I haven’t seen Delilah in forever.” With both drinks done, he moved back towards the island and placed on in front of Raye before taking a sip of his own. It was more fruity than his usual taste, but he could work with it. ”You haven’t even gotten all of your presents yet. There are two left.” Wesley then placed his drink down and moved to stand behind Raye and wrap his arms around her. ”Have you gotten smaller,” he asked with a smile as he rested his chin on her head.

Raye gasped in the most dramatic fashion she could, a hand to her chest, ever so slightly curled in on her self and mouth agape. “How could you call me anything other than Maple!” She laughed now, “I’m as delicious as Maple syrup. Pines smell good but meh -- their sap isn’t yummy.” she said as a smile slid back over her red lips. “We should make it more often in the future. It’s been fun -- but you have to teach me how you made the dough and the sauce. I want to help make it totally from scratch next time.” she said as she watched him make the drinks. . She gave him a look that said she didn’t believe him at all but smiled anyways. “You could still be over that way to go to King and Daisy’s or the museum!” she said with a roll of her eyes. “It’s not like this island is big.” she added a moment later. “Good, I’m sure Delilah will be thrilled to see you and to find out were back together.” she said knowing that when she went home to see her sister they would end up having a long talk about all this. She picked up her drink and took a small sip before letting out a happy moan. “Yum” she said, “Oh -- wait three?” she asked her eyes growing wide. “You didn’t tell me that!” She squeaked, “I mean I guess I should have assumed there was more you did say presents plural. But... What are they! I'm so curious now” she trailed off and shook her head, She glanced up at him and glared. “No you’re just a giant! You must have grown.”

”I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Maple is all that you shall be called,” he said with a slight bow. If there was one thing they did, it was highlight how ridiculous they could be. Although, she also took it a step further into sexual mode with her next words, and Wesley genuinely had to close his eyes and count to ten to not go there too much. If he did, he’d say screw dinner really quickly. ”We’re going to touch back on you tasting like maple syrup later after dinner and gift giving,” he said with all the implications of a promise. If she’d let him, Wesley would not at all object to going there. They’d spend so long without one another that he’d be lying if he hadn’t thought about it. ”That will mean us spending more time together, and I’m always happy with that, so yes. Whenever you want, babe. Just let me know.” Wesley nodded his head in agreement. ”I’ll probably be by the furniture spot because that’s Gianna’s ex/current guy’s business. It’s a complicated story,” he said with a shake of his head. ”I’m happy your sister is a fan of me. Now we just got to work on your dad, and we’ll be in business. Lucky for you, I’m pretty sure Ares couldn’t care less who I end up with.” His dad had been much more involved in his life than many other demigods’ parents, but caring about his love life was not a topic they talked about. As long as Wesley was happy, then his dad was cool. As she realized just how many presents there were, the timer went off, and he moved to take the pizzas out of the oven. While they weren’t perfect circles by any means, they definitely looked delicious. ”You’ll see them after dinner, or we can do them before if you want,” he said with a shrug. He was focused on moving the pies from the pans onto plates and getting them cut into eight slices. When done, he moved them towards the small dining table and smiled as Raye brought over their drinks. ”What do you think” Wesley asked as he held Raye’s seat out for her.

Raye wiggled happily and smiled at Wesley, “Good.” she chuckled. It was so refreshing to be back to ridiculousness and playful things like they used to do. Seeing him close his eyes and a couple of moments of silence passed between them, Raye raised a single eyebrow and smirked. “You okay there hot stuffs?” She asked. “Oh oh really? After dinner?” She said, looking him up and down a smirk still lingering. “So far away but fine.” Raye said dramatically, letting her body slack a bit as she talked. She had thought about him a lot and being bcak with him in that way -- but she would never push that, not after being the one to leave in the first place. “Maybe I can make us some pie, you know, actual pie, one day too. Show you how to make a crust, how to make all the filling…” was she willingly making small sexual references? Yes. It was to much fun.

“Sounds…. Complicated… You’ll have to tell me the story sometime.” she said with a little nod, “She is, but your sister … I doubt is a big fan of me. I need to try and fix that.” she sighed shaking her head. Raye knew that Gianna was bound to hate her for a while, but she just hoped that one of these days Gianna would become more chill with her. “My dad will come around though, when he realizes you make me happy.” she smiled, “Especially once I smack him with a newspaper for being a jerk.” Raye huffed and watched as he pulled the pizza out of the oven. The smell instantly filling the house and she licked her lips. “I can do whatever you were planning hun.” she shrugged right back as he cut the pizza. She set the drinks down on the table and grinned at him as her seat was pulled out. “Thank you” she said taking a seat, “I think we did a pretty good job for our first time!” she clapped. “I just wish they were cool enough we could eat without burning ourselves.” she laughed but picked up her wine glass and looked to him, “To us figuring shit out and becoming a couple again.” she smiled.

The look on Raye’s face told him that she knew exactly where his mind went which made him roll his eyes lightly at the woman. ”Totally cool. Just having a highlight reel go off in my head, but you know, that’s nothing to complain about,” he answered back easily. Both of them were very open people, and when it came to their attraction to one another that was only exasperated ten fold. ”After dinner and your gifts because I know you’ll love what I got you.” Since they’d ironed out what they were together, Wesley really didn’t see the point in taking too many steps backwards. They weren’t picking up where they left off, but there was no way anything would be able to cool them both down completely. However, it seemed his girlfriend was determined to make it nearly impossible for them to make it through dinner. ”You’re a giant tease, you know that? Wait til I get you back.” Wesley was more of a tease during the act than anything else. He’d delay things as much as possible until his girlfriend was almost begging which Raye knew all too well.

Wesley knew things were awkward between the two women, but he believed that it would sort itself out. ”I told her what happened because she was here to help me wrap my mind around everything. She understands more now, and I’m sure things will be easier to move forward. I know my sister, and she just wants me happy and safe.” That was all they both wanted for one another. As long as the other was taken care of then they trusted their judgement with partners. It was a relief really that neither one had to worry about ridiculous significant other expectations. Parents could be nuts about that. Wesley laughed in his seat across from her at the small table. ”Only you would get away with hitting the God of the underworld with a newspaper so go for it.” Wesley and Ares had never really fought. The God didn’t act like a traditional father figure and trusted his son to figure most things out on his own. When Raye lifted the glass to toast, Wesley smiled and lightly clinked his against hers. ”And to a much brighter future.”

Raye chuckled and picked up a slice of her pizza as they talked, her eyes lingering on Wesley for just a moment as he rolled his eyes. “Enjoy that highlight reel -- and keep in mind I started working out more in the past year since I knew I was going to physically be on screen,” she said with a little smirk and a wiggle of her eyebrows. “Oh you think your presents are so good I’m gonna wanna jump your bones?” she asked but kept a smirk on her lips. “I mean, the presents are gonna have to be really, really good to get me to jump you.” she said in her most serious tone, though it was a total lie. She’d jump his bones now if she could. “Try and get me back then” she winked ready to play the game of who could tease the other the most. . But she nodded her head at the conversation of Gianna. “I’m glad to hear that. But I know you,” she paused looking at him. “Don’t feel bad for telling anyone what happened to me.” she continued, “Especially your sister or your best friends.” she said reaching out and rubbing his arm but flashed him a smile. “The god of the underworld is a fucking nerd who needs to be smacked in the head with a newspaper.” she said and then took a sip of her drink “Much much brighter and I’m sure with bells in our future sooner than later.” She said with a little wink and a smile before picking up another slice of pizza and groaned “The dough and the sauce is so good.”

At Raye’s words, Wesley let his head fall back against the back of the dining room chair and groaned. That was not what he needed to hear in order to keep himself cool throughout dinner. His girlfriend was always hot. Literally, the computer engineer rarely bragged about anyone more than the voice actress for both her physical appearance and brains. So, the idea that she thinks her body could look even better was tempting to say the least, but there was one gift in particular he wanted to get to before he scratched the rest of the night and carried her to the bedroom. ”You know damn well I can’t hold out on you at all, so stop being mean. I already think you’re the most beautiful woman in the world, so you implying that you think your body looks better is cruel. New rule, no giving me a hard on before gifts.” He stayed quiet on the gift though and just smiled. There was no way he was giving anything away about either present. ”You’ll have to wait and see.”

Wesley finished his second slice of his pizza as he listened to Ray talk. While he didn’t like disclosing too much of their personal life, he knew that both of them had the same belief system with family. Fortunately, they liked one another’s family and friends, so there wasn’t any awkwardness or problems. ”You know I’m not a guy to disclose a lot of serious talk, but to those that need to know, I talked about it. Really only Gianna and Mira.” The latter lived with him and had very much noticed how off he’d been once he heard everything. Now, he was still sad about it, he figured a part of him always would be, but his focus was also divided with wanting to see what he could find out about the disappearances. The moment his little sister got upset, it was game on to him. ”I’m glad you like it,” he replied genuinely happy that the plan had gone well. While he wasn’t too worried because he had years of knowledge and experience with Raye to go off of, there were some jitters. The rest of dinner was filled with small talk, teasing, and playful banter as they finished their pizzas and drinks. Wesley was relieved with how simple it was for them to get back into a small rhythm as he moved dishes back into the kitchen. As Raye insisted on rinsing them, he placed them in the dishwasher. Within five minutes the kitchen was clean again which led to him taking Raye’s hand and leading her to the living room. On the coffee table were two small boxes, and he handed one over once his girlfriend was situated. ”Go on. This one first.”

She couldn’t help but smirk at his reaction to her comment on working out. After the attack, the loss, Raye had been working on making herself better either emotionally, physically or mentally a little bit every day. She vowed that since her little one never had the chance to better the world that she would make sure she at least, bettered herself in hopes that she could better the world. But she smiled at Wesley, gave him a wink as she wrinkled her nose. “oh trust me, I know you can’t hold out. It’s what makes it so fun. Your inability to keep it in your pants when I’ve been teasing you just makes it all the more fun. Delayed gratification and all” she mused “But fine! No more teasing.” she huffed crossing her arms. Though it only stayed that way for a moment before she uncrossed and started to eat. She nodded her head as he spoke about Gianna and Mira.

As their night and dinner continued on it was so easy to fall back to old habits, old comforts and ways. She leaned on him as they talked, playfully shoved food in his face when they joked and happily helped clean up. She placed her hands on her hips and grinned as she looked over the clean kitchen. “Done and done.” she said b hut followed him into the living room and slid onto the sofa with a tilt of her head. Her eyes danced over the small boxes and she raised an eyebrow. “Okay...” she said playfully suspicious of what he had gotten her. Her fingers wrapped around the little box and she shook it. “Heavyish .. and noisy.” she mused and lifted the cover off the box. There inside was a beautiful silver charm bracelet. A small gasp fell from her lips and she scooped it up slowly looking over each charm. A small skull for hades, a microphone for her acting , a Greek helmet for Ares, each of their birthstones, a heart, a couple monuments that brought back fond memories of their travels, some surprising ones of simple logos or characters from shows she had been in and hilariously a slice of pizza. She shook her head and quickly slipped it on. After it was fastened she leaned over and placed a kiss on Wesley’s cheek “That was adorable.” she said smiling.

After a moment she returned her attention to the second box and repeated the process of shaking it. This one she wasn’t even remotely sure of. It didn’t weigh much and it was relatively quiet in its packaging. “You really didn’t need to get me anything else Wes. Just spending time with you is enough.” she continued as she opened up the box and — froze. A second later she chuckled and picked up the key. “You know, I already know I have the key to your heart. You didn’t have to get a physical one” she joked but looked over at him, she knew what it was, she would be an idiot not to. “A key… to the… house?” she asked and bit her lip looking at him.

It was always astonishing to him how no matter how old Raye became, she still acted like a kid with presents. She loved trying to solve the puzzle of what they were before opening them. When she finally saw the first gift, Wesley smiled as he leaned back against the couch. The kiss on the cheek was one he happily received, but he was more anxious for the second box. While he knew in his heart that it was the right idea, he couldn’t help but be a little scared. Not of Raye’s reaction, but of opening their future again. His heart was still a little battered and bruised from before, but he knew that he’d feel hesitant until he just jumped in. “I know, but I think you’ll really like this one,” he said as he nodded his head towards the package to hurry up the process. He rolled his eyes at the corny joke, but was grateful for it. Raye definitely knew how to release tension when necessary. “Yeah,” he said before biting the inside of his cheek for a second. “I bought this place for us, and well, it doesn’t feel right having you knock or needing to ask when to come over. So, you have a key. This is as much your home as it is mine.”

Raye felt her heart swelling, her stomach flipping and a huge smile stretching up over her lips as he explained. She glanced around the house; she knew it had been bought for them but to know that she had a key, that this was her place now too. Butterflies. Butterflies were the only real explanation she had for how she felt. "I mean --" she swallowed and looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "Are you sure?" She knew this was a big step to take, a big part of his soul to reopen to her and she didn't want him rushing it for any reason. "I totally love it, don't get me wrong, I just .... don't want you to feel like you have to do something like this... " She clutched the key in her hand for a moment; she knew deep down that if he had spent the time to wrap it and do this then he was serious but... she couldn't help but make sure. To make sure he knew that she didn't expect anything. "I love this house." she said softly. "And I love you Wesley" she continued "You're too good for me." Raye said "What did I do to deserve such a wonderful boyfriend?"

-- lets just say there was a fade to black this night --

hunting for any reason at all is something you have always wanted to do… but your brothers Sam & Dean Winchester weren’t going to let you…

they instead were gonna honor your parents wishes & raise you to be normal… this meant no hunting for you, but you knew something was up one day when your brothers arrived back at the bunker with another man.

it wasn’t Cas or anyone you knew, it was someone new… someone who looked like he was striking a deal of sorts with your brothers.

Dean came over to you while Sam stayed talking with the mysterious guest.

Dean: “come sis, let’s go for a walk.”

You never turned down the chance to take a walk with your older brother. Dean as always takes your arm & leads you out of the bunker, both of you walking down the same long dirt road you often walked down.

Dean: “I’m guessing you have questions about the hush hush visitor.”

You nodded. Very unsure if you wanted to hear your brother’s answers.

YN: “who is he first of all?”

Dean: “his name is Arthur Ketch.. Look sis, Sammy and I have kept you out of as much of the danger as possible. But in their wills they said if Sam and I ever had to Bayer a deal, we were to use you as a bargaining chip. Well that had happened for we have arranged for you to marry Ketch… ”

YN (yelling): “so what I don’t even have a say… I don’t get the chance to decide my own future… Yet you & Sam get to decide my future for me… In what universe did you think I would ever be okay with this…”

Dean was a little shocked, he had never heard you raise your voice at him like ever… That kinda hurt him, but how else was he expecting you to react after all he just dropped bomb central on you.

Dean: “YN look I know your upset, but please understand that this is a good thing especially with the danger Sam & I are heading into… I wanted to be the one to tell you about this kiddo cause i knew that Sam could finish this deal in propriety while I somehow convinced you that this marriage is a good thing.“

You were pacing, you had no idea what the hell was happening, your brothers were auctioning your life, your future.

YN: “what could possibly be so important that you and Sam would gamble my future away?"

Dean: "the colt!"

You had heard the legends of this magnificent gun that could kill pretty much anything… You even got to see it in action once…

Yn: "are you sure it’s the same colt that Bella took & sold?"

Dean: "yep cause ketch showed it to us, the second we said we would make him an offer he couldn’t possibly refuse, you were that offer… we need to get the colt back, there is danger brewing sis, for what we fear is coming you cannot be here… you cannot witness whats about to happen. do not fight us on this… you can get to know him first but your getting married to him before he has to bring you back to his home. if there had been another bargaining option we would have done so… look let me make it up to you. ill take you on your first hunt as my way of an apology…what do you feel like sis, Ghost, poltergeist or vamps?”

YN: “thats okay bro, i like the sound of going on my first hunt but i say why not all 3, are they all roughly in the same area… but where is he from?”

Dean: “ketch is british… yes yes they are, about 5-10 minutes from eachother. all along the road to come back here. but sis, if we go on this string of hunts you must understand that if you start feeling weird like your body starts converging or starts to feel really really warm all of the sudden, tell me immediately.”

You looked really confusingly at your brother, but agreed none the less. then your mind went into the thoughts of omg, me married, thats a scary thought…

YN: “what about your honoring mom and dads wishes?”

Dean: “well im sure they will be just as proud of how much we have trained and protected you all the same. but Sam and i want to see you wed incase trouble strikes sooner than expected.”

YN: “isnt Ketch apart of the British Men of Letters?”

Dean: “yes he is…”

YN: “didnt they try to kill you guys?”

Dean: “that was a precaution according to them… they didnt know whether we were friend or foe…”

Your eyes went wondering what the british men of letters would think of you… not that you know they would be able to do anything, i mean by the time you get back you and Ketch technically would already be married.

YN: “do you think Ketch would want to join me for a run into town? i need a few things and i figure you guys want a beer & liquor stalk..”

Dean: “does this mean you are ready to meet him?”

you nod… nervous feelings building in your stomach but you dismissed them.

Dean: “okay i know your probably nervous as hell right now but chill. Ketch would be a fool not to fall instantly for you…”

you took a few breaths as you and Dean re-entered the bunker, Dean freely goes down the stairs, you peak over the railing as Dean calls…

Dean: “we are back…”

Sam and another man who you presumed was Ketch came out of the study and the first glance you got of Ketch practically knocked you off your feet… when Dean turned around to introduce you he noticed you werent behind him, so he figured your nerves were getting the better of you…

Dean: “come on down YN, there is someone down here who is anxious to meet you…”

you nervously went back up the stairs and stood up descending the staircase, you could feel the eyes of your brothers and one longing gaze from the man who was to be your husband.

Ketch made his way to the bottom of the staircase, to recieve your hand in his own and to plant a kiss to the back of your hand.

Arthur: “YN, you are even more radiant than your brothers described. my name is Ketch, Arthur Ketch.”

YN: “My dear brother had said you were dashing, he didnt say you were moi caliente.”

this made Arthur laugh as he helped you the rest of the way down the stairs.

your brothers were seeing the way you and Ketch were looking at eachother, you and Arthur went to sit in the study, you went on your laptop and placed orders for your hunting clothing a couple other items and then Arthur had you help pick out the engagement/wedding bands.

with everything ordered, you turned to Dean to bat your eye lashes…

Dean: “let me guess you want to stay here kiddo?”

YN: “ill call tim and tell him to have the usual order ready and if your worried about getting girl coodies all over baby, then take my jag… i mean ill let you drive it just this once Dean… but you break it you repair it, do you hear me…”

Dean: “of course… come on Sam, your coming with me to help me carry this shit..”

neither sam nor dean said much of a goodbye after you said they could take the jag… you and arthur just laughed at how fast they ran out of there. this left you and arthur alone in the bunker.

you eventually got up to pour you and Arthur some drinks, his gaze not leaving your body. like he was mentally undressing you or something.

YN: “see something you like?”

Arthur: “just enjoying the delicious view that is you…”

YN: “well that is something i certainly can easily get used to hearing.”

you brought the drinks to where you guys were sitting and pulled out your phone calling tim…

Tim: “YN hows it going girl?”

YN: “exceptional as always, man my brothers are doing the town run today… they are doing my bidding for once… can u have the usual order ready? i dont know how long till they get there… they have to stop at a few places for me first…”

Tim: “of course i will have that ready. see ya round chica.”

you hung up the phone and felt Arthur’s arm around your waist… this sent your body into a hotter state… Arthur smelled this right away.

Arthur: “i love that heated scent you are giving off…”

YN: “your accent is turning me on and i am getting another heated burst…”

Arthur: “do you get these heat bursts often?”

YN: “only around the full moon. but this time seems worse…”

Arthur: “your presenting… how much do you know about the history of hunters?”

YN: “my brothers have mostly kept me out of that loop… why what do you mean i’m presenting.?.”

Arthur: “YN just try to cool down… you need to keep your temp at a decent temperature like keep calm dont let your emotions go out of control.”

YN: “why whats happening to me?”

Arthur: “just do what i say… lets distract you… wanna show me this fabulous garage you guys have?”

you get up but a hand reaching for yours startles you slightly but feels normal as you both walk to the garage… you open the door and walk inside. you walk around and lean against the impala as Arthur looks around.

Arthur: “and all these belong to you and your brothers.?.”

YN: “yep… its a family business find beaten down cars get them, sell them or keep them… spare cars… in hunting its needed or so my brothers say.”

Arthur: “you look sexy leaning against the impala like that…”

Arthur had removed his blazer and now stood in front of you…

Arthur: “i saw that look back at the computer. do you want to talk about it?”

YN: “i saw the look on your face with those totals. i would understand if you want to yell at me… but know its gonna go a long way…”

Arthur in that moment answered the only way that he deemed logical… pressing himself against you as he held your waist planting a kiss to your lips… this was unexpected, this was also your first kiss…

YN: “i think this conversation is better left for somewhere a little more comfortable…”

Arthur: “i dont know im pretty comfy right here…”

you had no complaints the next hour and a half were spent making out while having you sit on the hood of the impala… your heat bursts became more frequent as time passed.

Arthur: “are you alright love? your burning up…”

YN: “make it stop… make the burning stop…”

Arthur: “your brothers are gonna walk in at any minute… but i can do this…”

Arthur in that moment pulls back from you and removes his shirt, the cooling sensation of his skin against yours made your heat bursts slow drastically.

Arthur: “im an alpha as such i have a right to wait till you present fully to claim you… to make my mark on you, to claim you as my own. your brothers are alphas as well, they have been massively protective of you, but thats their nature. thats how this works. your scent is all over the place i cant tell what you are presenting as but if your heat is this bad i would think maybe an alpha…”

you and arthur went back to making out, the sound of tires approaching on the dirt road, the purr of the sweet engine, you knew that was your jag, thats when it happened.

you pulled back as Arthur backed away you turned to look at yourself in the mirror of the impala. you then let out a earth shattering scream, as your brothers pulled up into the garage upon the sight of you screaming. they got out of the jag and went to Arthur…

Dean: “whats happening?”

Arthur: “she’s presenting… did you guys not tell her about any of this?”

Dean: “no we didnt per to our parent’s wishes.”

Arthur: “well i couldnt tell from her scent what she is, but i guess we are about to find out…”

at that moment you let out a roar, it shook the entire compound. Dean, Sam and Arthur were all ready incase your instincts decided to turn you animal…

thats when you turned to look at everyone, your eyes flashed immediately from gold to red to kind of a blood gold. the words you heard after that went something like this…

Sam: “thats impossible…”

Dean: “arthur you need to be ready buddy, i dont know how she is entirely gonna be right now…”

Arthur: “she is the first hunter ever to present as both Alpha and Omega… lets see what i can do…”

Arthur took everything that could possibly scare you out of his pockets and off his person, then he made his slow approach to you…

Arthur: “YN, take it easy babe… lets try something.. nod if you can hear me and recognize who i am..”

you nod watching his blurry figure coming closer.

Arthur: “babe, nod if i can approach you fully…”

you nod again kind of un tensing at the soft touch of his hands on your forearms. Arthur came round behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist. he then brushed your hair away from your neck and shoulder.

the next thing you hear is a growl from behind you, your eyes went wide at hearing this… it was like your entire body was no longer responding for its own, but instead to Arthur and his movements.

Arthur let out a loud shattering roar before sinking his fangs into your shoulder… this made you let out a moaning roar.. your brothers eyes went wide as they watched Arthur claim you…

blood was dripping down your back and front, as well as down Arthurs chest. with each drop that hit the ground this made your brothers growl lowly… but nothing compared to how you would be feeling after this little session.

After 5 minutes Arthur removed his fangs from you, he then spun you round to face him… the familiarity of his features was almost like a ray of sunshine. suddenly your eye sight became un blurred, it was also the fact that now you were seeing clearly that your eyes first saw the blood.

YN: “whose blood is that, ugh why do i feel weird, what happened…”

Arthur: “what do you remember?”

YN: “nothing, will someone explain while i go get towels so Arthur and i can get cleaned up…”

your brothers made sure the jag was in the garage and that the outside door to the garage was closed, before following to continue explaining to you what you couldnt remember.

Dean: “we got home to find you screaming into the impala side mirror, when we asked Arthur about it he said you were presenting and that he didnt know what you would be presenting as. then we saw your eyes… they will be that blood gold for a while, but the bloodlust and the other alphaic traits were subsided when Arthur claimed you thats why there was so much blood. look YN we are so sorry we didnt tell you about any of this but we are the best hunters around for a reason. our senses are heightened thats why hunting comes so easy to us. thats why its gonna be easy for you as well.. in fact i declare a family hunting trip. Ketch that includes you, your apart of this family now. so every gear up and do what you need to do, we leave at sunset… the poltergeist in the asylum is the first stop.”

You smiled at the thought of getting to hunt. This was what you had been training for. This is what you we’re waiting for. Your mind then turned to the thought of all the blood, you zoned out you could feel the blood calling to you.

It wasn’t till you heard your name being called in 3 different vocal tones that you snapped out of it.

YN: "sorry guys I must have zoned out… It was weird I could hear the blood calling to me, it wanted me to drain the source. I am unsure if I like how this is going. But if everyone here is willing to show me the ropes before we leave for this hunt and how to control the bloodlust then I’ll still go on this hunt as long as everyone feels like i can control my bloodlust and abilities perfectly.”

Arthur: “dont worry babe once we get cleaned up, we will all go over to the training center and we will teach you everything you need to know.”

you finish wiping off all the blood and then you walk to your room, going inside you close your door then taking off your bloody clothes you threw them in the laundry…

you then picked up your phone and called Dean…

Dean: “whats wrong sis?”

YN: “can you bring me my stuff from the jag so i can pack…”

your brother, your brother sure he was a giant pain in the ass, but he was the only person you trusted to bring you the stuff and not hesitate to walk in… he has seen you worse…

Dean however walks in several moments later as your at your mirror desk half robed looking at the bite mark…

YN: “will it ever go away?”

Dean: “it will just look like you got in a fight with something and won… honestly are you okay?”

YN: “honestly, i’m not sure… i mean physically except for the pain of having been bitten im fine but mentally there is something in there and its fighting me… Dean im scared, i dont want to hurt anyone. i would rather die than hurt anyone…”

Dean: “hey, theres no need for that kind of talk… look Ketch no matter how much of an ass he is, he loves you alot… he loved you enough to claim you… thats a huge deal… something Sam and i never could achieve… but your probably the most badass out of all of us, your half alpha and half omega… that makes you the strongest… now throw on your normal workout clothes and come along sis Arthur and Sam are waiting in the training center. now that you have presented we wont go easy on you..”

you turned to fully look at your brother…

YN: “you mean you and Sam were going easy on me… does that mean when i beat you, you werent using your full strength…”

Dean: “now now sis, i knew you would react this way just take it easy…”

YN: “take it EASY… i feel like a fool… here i thought i was so strong to beat both of my brothers… geez Dean how much were you holding back…”

Dean: “i was only using 30% of my strength… over the years i gradually increased it… start soft work our way up, with each level passed we increased how much we were exerting… but now that you have presented we dont have to hold back anymore… we are gonna use our full 100% strength and its gonna be 10x harder to take us all down… we all have something to teach you: we talked it over Arthur will teach you how to control your anger, so when in public your eyes are normal color… Sam will work on your agility how to use your speed 10x the normal rate you would go… i will teach you how to tone up your strength so you dont hurt anyone normal when hugging them or shaking their hands. then we will all fight you in a fighters circle type thing. it is one of those mass exercises that are especially helpful in these types of situations…”

You finished getting into your workout gear, and glared at your brother, flashing your eyes quickly from gold to red letting off a low growl.

YN: “your gonna pay for taking it easy on me all these years… both you and sam are gonna be eating training mat…”

Those words made Dean cringe, hearing them come out of your mouth made them worse than necessary… you stalked your way out of your room, down the hallway, going left at the fork and then entering the room, you removed your sandals and charged at Sam whose back was facing you… you then pulled a natasha romanov…

You wrapped your ankles round his neck and flipped him to the ground…

YN: “thats for taking things easy on me bro… oh yeah Dean told me about that, lets just say im not happy about…”

Sam: “well i can tell that your not happy, but why flip me to the ground and how the hell did i not see this coming…”

YN: “what was it you told me… never turn your back on your opponant…”

You were aware at that moment of your other brother entering the room… Dean decided to try to pull that same move on you, you instead jumped and pinned him to the ground…

YN: “told you that both you and Sam would be eating training mat…”

Arthur let out a whistle that caught your attention, you got up off the ground and went over to him… his touch soothing you… as both your brothers got up off the ground.

Arthur: “boys i dont think our lessons are gonna get through until we see what else she can do… cause that was some impressive skill that my girl just pulled off…”

Dean: “oh screw you Ketch… fine little sister thinks she is so tough, fine i challenge YN, my lesson might get taught right now it might not… Sam get off the floor, YN when your ready…”

You kissed Arthur before stepping foot on the floor… this was the kind of thing that always got you excited, this was what you now had been waiting for since presenting… a chance to show your brothers whose the more superior Winchester Sibling.

You took a stance in front of your brother who now was waiting for you to make the first move…

YN: “you think you can beat me bro… lets see im gonna give you a simple task do not hold back… use every ounce of strength you got… once i have taken you down, either Sam or Arthur are allowed to step into the ring to give me their lesson… of course you know bro that just because your my brother doesnt mean ill hold back even an ounce of strength…”

Dean: "are you gonna stand there running your mouth or are you gonna fight?"

YN: "both…”

You and Dean now circling let off low growls… but you stepped to the left to circle the other way, and just dodged Dean lunging at you… he quickly recovered and you jumped high landing on his back…

YN: “had enough yet bro?”

Dean: “of course not…”

Dean flipped over and landed himself on top of you, letting out a roar of disapproval you bunched your knees beneath his body and lodged yourself free sending Dean flying across the room once more…

You half flipped yourself off the ground…

YN: “had enough yet bro?”

Dean: “whats a matter sis? You getting tired yet?”

YN: “not a prayer but i dont want to hurt you… so if you surrender now ill consider making you a few personal sized pies for the trip…”

Dean’s eyes went wide at the mention of pie… but non the less he attempted to lunge at you again… there was something inside you that brought your body into a flat state making Dean fly right over your body and straight into the stack of mats.

Both Arthur and Sam watched as you now stood victorious…

Sam: “well i can just verbally give you your lesson sis… i have no desire to end up like Dean…”

Arthur: “come along babe ill help you make dinner as well as some food for the trip. While i give you my lesson in emotional anger control…”

You first helped your brother off the ground and you gave him a hug…

YN: “sorry D… dont know what came over me…”

Dean: “thats okay, happens to everyone… just dont ever give into the blind rage that you displayed on the floor… that kind of rage is what causes murder… now you guys go make dinner i am gonna go take a hot shower and cool off my enflamed muscles…”

Sam gave you and Arthur a nod to go on your way as he helped make sure Dean got to his room on his own…

Sam: “geez Dean neither of us acted like that when we first presented did we?”

Dean shook his head…

Dean: “nope but i bet i know someone who will… we need to talk to Cas… see if he knows anything about female Alpha/Omega’s ill talk to him… it will be easier if i do the talking since i’m the one who said lets just not tell her and i didnt listen to you when you said we should…”

Sam: “dont blame yourself Dean… you couldnt have forseen any of this.. Now lets go together to talk to cas… lets go find out how to stop this from getting worse for our baby sister…”

Dean: “i still want to take my shower first… we will go after… i mean after dinner while YN and Arthur are being cute and stuff we will say that Cas wants to meet to talk about the impending doom…”

Sam: “you know she wont like it if we lie to her…”

Dean: “i know but Sammy what other choice do we have… we cant let her hunt like this…”

Sam knew Dean was right, so he left his brother so Dean could get his muscles healing… but he still felt bad for how they hid this from their sister… sure it was the right thing to do but when you turned 16 or became a teenager they could possibly have prepared you for this but not all of whats happened is their fault…

Dean texts cas and says to meet outside the bunker in 30 minutes its important… and to text when arrived… Cas responds with okay…

Dean all through his time in his room, he kept running the fight through his head… those attacks you pulled were not normal.. Your fighting skills had never been like that…

Meanwhile in the kitchen you and Arthur were pealing and cutting potatos…

Arthur: “how do you feel love?”

YN: “bout normal, whatever that means… i just cant believe i let Dean talk me into training i knew i would hurt someone… i dont know what came over me… it was like posession or something… but im just glad that through all that your vocals kept me from killing… is that my omega side responding to you my alpha?”

Arthur: “yes it is but that alpha side of yours needs to be put under control… otherwise its gonna be rough road ahead… you mentioned that it felt like posessson… how so love?”

You put the pealed potato on the cutting board in front of Arthur and sighed…

YN: “it was like i lost control of my body, like the actions were not my own… i didnt even recognize my own voice. Babe it was an awful feeling but i cant shake the fact that it didnt feel like me… it was like i lost myself…”

Arthur: “when did you start feeling this way?”

YN: “shortly after you claimed me… it was like a heatwave it just hit me and shortly after Dean hit the mats was when i snapped out of it… “

Arthur: “lets check the lore and see what we can find out but im gonna say that your not going on a hunt till you get this under control… we cant risk anything happening to you in the field… plus it will give us some alone time…”

Arthur winked at you, he had that seductive look in his eyes again… you smiled and went back to making sure you didnt peel your fingers instead of the potatoes… Arthur was definately getting used to your scent…

From the first time Arthur spoke you were used to his accent infact you were turned on by it… meanwhile Dean and Sam were making sure that neither you nor Arthur were looking as they snuck out of the bunker to meet with Cas…

Dean: “thank you for coming Cas…”

Cas: “of course but what happened? You both seem worried.”

Dean: "its YN she presented as both an alpha and an omega… She is having problems gaining control. We are extremely worried… It Was the fact that Ketch bit her he claimed her… LikeLike the proof is right beside the impala… But her emotions she is spiraling. Cas what do you know about this?”

Cas: “her emotional spiral is apart of her alpha side arguing with her omega side, neither side will be at peace till she obeys the laws of the universe that were written out by God himself long before YN existed… she and ketch have to be properly married in the eyes of the holy hosts and consummate their union. Kind of like a royalty thing. This is their destiny, pre arranged by God himself. It cannot be denied. This is her bodies way of saying this needs to happen sooner rather than later."

Dean: "so wait your saying that we have to witness them getting married then their consummation…”

Both Sam and Dean were appauled by this thought but were happy at the idea of getting you back to normal…

The 3 gentlemen went inside the bunker and into the study where they found you and Arthur looking through the lore…

Dean: “hey sprout can I talk to you for a second.?”

YN: “of course like privately?"

Dean nods so you kiss Arthur on the cheek… You follow your brother to his room, where as soon as you enter he shuts the door… you turned around and looked very confusingly at your brother.

YN: “whats wrong D? Your not angry about what happened in training are you? Cause it felt like i was possessed when i was fighting you… like i wasnt in control of my own body..”

Dean: “cas knows how to save you… how you can regain control of your mind, body and emotions.”

YN: “thats great but how do we do that?”

Dean: “well like Sam and Cas are probably explaining to Arthur right now, and i gather that talk may not be going as well as this one… but here it goes… in order for you to be yourself again, you and Arthur have to get married, then consummate the marriage like in royal days where the dignitaries and important people have to witness the consummation… like ASAP…”

Your eyes went wide, but Dean went over to his closet and then pulled out a clothing bag… he lays the clothing bag on his bed and backs up a bit…

Dean: “go ahead sis, take a look… i got it for you as soon as we made this deal with Ketch… i knew you would need it eventually so i was waiting for the right moment to give it to you.”

You opened the bag to reveal a silver column styled one shoulder sequin lace cocktail dress. The side with the shoulder was the one that clearly showed your mark… your eyes went wide, a shocked small shrill of joy fell from your lips, tears of happiness fell from your eyes. You looked at your big brother who was tearing up himself then cleared his throat so he could speak again.

Dean: “YN, every year before now Sammy and i watched you grow into this beautiful young woman… but we know that not telling you about the family gene pool was stupid. But this marriage between you and Arthur was apparently decided by God himself. Which is a load of shit cause it just is, as well as the thought that you are gonna be a married woman… its just so hard… i wish mom and Dad were here to see this, to see the kind of woman you have become… to see you get married. You know they would have gone over board big white wedding type thing… but right now Sam has probably convinced Arthur to call Lady Bevell and request that they be present via skype for this ocassion. Cas is gonna decorate, make this place look more like a castle type setting… suitable for the events… Sam is gonna help Arthur cope with everything… just as im helping you… i know this is alot to process but i promise you, this new journey ahead of you will allow the winchester name and legacy to carry on through you and Arthur. I hope you can understand that once you and Arthur get married you guys arent leaving right away… Arthur wants you to have as much time as you need to adjust to being married before you guys go back to Britain…”

You instantly go over and embrace your brother, he returns your embrace and the moment lasts a few moments then is released…

YN: “thank you… without you and Sam protecting me i dont know what would have happened. I am just glad that i got the 2 best hunters in all of america as my brothers.”

Thats when you heard a knock at the bedroom door… you looked at your brother who then smirked.

YN: “whats going on? Whose at the door?”

Dean: “just go open the door… trust me YN this is needed… let me just grab my monkey suit… or at least the dress shirt…”

You went to the door and opened it to get tackled in a familiar female embrace…

Jo: “getting married huh? And you didnt invite me… good thing mom and i were in the area… we rushed right over here… we also saw bobby in the living room… and rufus and ash has already broken into your fireball whiskey there Dean… he wanted me to tell you that he challenges you to the fireball challenge.”

Dean: “he needs to be careful who he is messing with… ill leave you ladies to get ready… ill shoot a text when its time. Ill also send over your mom to help with anything… and to bring you gals some alcohol.”

Dean takes the shirt that he was gonna wear and leaves out his door closing it behind him… that was when Jo came over to sit on the bed beside you…

Jo: “i know that look want to tell me why your suddenly getting married…”

YN: “to cut a long story short, my brothers found the colt that was stolen from them years ago, and have obeyed mom and dads wishes by trading me for the colt. They said something about needing the colt for the evil thats coming or that they think is coming or something like that… the guy that im set to marry, his name is Arthur Ketch, he is british, he is muscular hot and an alpha who claimed by alpha/omega ass yea i presented as both and it shocked everyone. It caused me to beat up Dean pretty badly in training earlier. I guess Dean and Sam went to Cas for answers now i have to marry Arthur as soon as possible and have it like a royalty thing where the important people witness the consummation between the wedded couple, cause apparently thats what God had put in the book of Destiny for me and Arthur… Cause thats apparently the only way to take the edge off of what my body is arguing over my alpha side and my omega side are arguing. They are fighting which explains alot now that i think about it.. But one thing isnt clear i dont know what to do… i am not even sure im ready for any of this… its like Dean and Sam arent telling me something and things will end up going wrong. Jo im scared…”

Jo hugs you from the side and fears you are gonna spiral if something happens to Sam and Dean…

Jo: “this about it this way girl… your brothers love you very much and right now they are just making sure your future is secure and right now its pretty clear that if what you are telling me is true then we need at least 1 drink to help you through all of this.. By the way do you have any lingere…”

You texted Sam to send the bags from the jag with Ellen… Sam replyed with Ellen has already gotten those and is on her way. You and Jo just lay back and stare at the ceiling not daring to believe that there are forces who have control over the destinies of everyone because he wrote them in some sort of imaginary book…

Jo: “i would be grateful that they at least found you someone hot to marry, i mean all the ones mom has sent my way were fat and ugly.. I couldnt believe they were alphas… i want to marry someone who understands me for me…”

YN: “you know Dean is in love with you right girl… that he has been for a few years now…”

Jo: “i know, he fell in love with me the day he and i danced to REO speedwagon in the roadhouse after hours. I turned him down, i was scared… i didnt want to ruin the friendship we kinda have. I would have told him that day in the roadhouse if mom wasnt picky about who i end up with…”

YN: “Jo as your best friend im gonna say this, i would tell him the truth or just you know kiss him… make him want to claim you… if what he says is true, im achieving what my brothers never could, but you can make this a reality for Dean… just take the risk… dont let your mom no matter how wonderful she is dictate your life. Take charge, we make our own futures…”

You and Jo hugged it out and then went back to admiring your dress… Jo then opened her bag and pulled out the accessories…

Jo: “Dean called me a week ago and warned me to have a few wedding accessories ready for you… he had a feeling that you and Arthur would be married before the end of the month so now lets wait for my mo…”

Before Jo could finish speaking, there was a rap at the door. Jo went and opened it and in came Ellen…

Ellen: “oh honey you’ve grown so much since we last saw you… but now your getting married oh honey, he seems like a very nice man, but i take it from the rush and the hush hush of the wedding that it is a long and crazy story and a really good explanation behind this…”

YN: “it is a really interesting conversation… ill explain later or you can grill Dean for it… but it would mean alot to me Ellen if you and Jo would help me get ready… to look fabulous for the day my life gets back on track.”

Both the ladies in that room with you nodded they sat you down in the chair and had you start going through the bags deciding what kind of lingere to wear with the dress, and what to do with your hair and your nails and it was just a blast… then came time for the dress.. This was the moment you, Jo and Ellen had all been waiting for, with your hair and nails done you felt the fabric slide over your skin, the low moan that left your lips was your thought of Arthur and how he felt against you.

Til this second you hadnt looked in the mirror for the nervous feeling that was gripping you tight was far to great. It wasnt till Ellen and Jo stood you in front of the closet mirror with your eyes closed that the nervous feeling kinda subsided.. It went away faster when they revealed to you your reflection in the mirror.

You put your hands over your mouth for 2 seconds before moving them down your body… then letting out a low squeal of joy, you spun round in the dress. Ellen and Jo snapping photos from every angle…

Jo: “that dress is sexy girl!!!”

Ellen: “YN, that dress is hella purty… your brother has good taste…”

YN: “yes it appears he does.. But i dont understand how the hell could he afford this… ive seen this particular dress, it was like super expensive… how did he afford this…”

Ellen: “your brother went and entered a blackjack tourney while on a hunt… Sam was investigating while Dean was cleaning house.. He used a luck charm he got from a psychic named Pamela Barnes. He said that it was the most he had ever won… but he said that he wanted to put the money away for something for you… something of a peace offering for putting your life and training through hell and back.”

Your eyes went wide, you knew your brother was a gambling shark but to hear that Dean changed his direction while on a hunting trip, just to make enough money to ensure your own happiness.

You were unsure of how to respond… You were now helping Jo do her hair and do her dress up as you girls had done for ages on many numerous occasions.

YN: "my brother strayed from a hunt, just to make money to secure my happiness… Why would he do that? Hunting is more important than my happiness.”

Dean who had been standing in the door way, stepped into the room and spoke.

Dean: “cause you are the most important thing in my life. Being your big brother I wanted to make ensure that your future would be secure even after Sam and I were gone. We could not let you have the Winchester curse of swindling and card scams and and and… I know your still skeptical on marrying Arthur, but right now I can tell you this, the way that it looks out there and then way you look sis, this day is your day. Today is your inheritance. Today is your beginning to do and accomplish what Sam and I have never been able to… I know we were tough on you, but that was out way of protecting you. Anyway I’m here to escort you down the aisle sis. They are ready when you are…”

YN: “Jo Ellen can you guys give me a few moments alone with my brother?"

Both ellen and Jo left the room, this left you and Dean alone.

Dean: "you look exquisite in that dress sis! I knew I made the right choice.”

YN: “I hope someone else sees it that way. I know you are happy for me, but someone in the universe set this, my destiny in motion many a year ago.. Dean I don’t blame you or Sam for hiding the truth, I just wish I would have known about what was gonna happen to me. I love you bro, both you and Sam are the most important things to me. I’m so glad you guys are here to be with me on my wedding day. But bro be honest with me now, what danger is so important that you guys made this deal for the colt.”

Dean: “There is a darkness that is descending upon the world. It’s so bad that we figure having the colt not knowing what we are up against is a good idea. We also figure we can teach you how to hunt like a Winchester and secure your future before we get caught up in this war… This marriage is both your safe haven and your security. Both yours and Arthur’s names are the emergency fail safes on the lease for the impala and the storage container, Bobby’s yard!/house, the roadhouse and of course the bunker. Should me and Sam no longer be around to do anything concerning any of those places or it’s people we had you guys put down. There are also forms for you both to sign regarding the Winchester wills mine and Sam’s if this battle with the darkness goes south all we have is yours and Arthur’s.”

Sam walks in a few moments later and let’s off a whistle…

Sam: “my God sis you look amazing!”

Dean: “doesn’t she just look purty! Is everyone ready?"

Sam nods…

Sam: "yes and everyone is waiting on YN… TheyThey sent me back to find out what’s happening?"

Dean looks at you and you turn away so your brothers don’t see you cry… But they didn’t leave, instead they came up behind you and hugged you… This moment was when you just let the tears fall… both your brothers had you in a group hug, you felt so blessed to have brothers that cared enough to protect you like this.

YN: "thank you for being the best big brothers I could ever have asked for."

Both Sam and Dean sniffle but when you guys broke the hug Sam went back to the door and smiled.

Sam: "see you out there shortly…"

You straightened out and turned to your brother who was holding his arm toward you.

Dean: "ready to do this step sis?"

YN: "so long as you don’t let me fall bro…"

Dean: "you won’t fall not so long as I’m holding onto you."

You stook his arm as Dean sent a message to start the music, through the hall you could hear the start of So Close by John McLaughlin… Then you rounded the corner with Dean just as the crowd turned to see you.

The one set of eyes you locked yours into was Arthurs your only saving grace was those blue eyes making your body feel weak, but making you feel like you wanted to jump him right then right there.

The only thing you were focusing on right then were his eyes, Dean was making sure you didn’t fall, he knew your eyes were locked to Arthur’s but he also was the one thing keeping you from falling..

Reaching the end of the aisle Dean stood there beside you with Sam on the other side of you.

The ceremony then went something like this:

Castiel: "friends and honored guests both in person and on the internet, welcome to the wedding of YN Winchester and Arthur Ketch, who gives this woman to be with this man."

Dean and Sam: "we do.."

Castiel: "will one of you place her hand in his and say repeat after me.."

Dean allowed Sam to do this part since Dean brought you down the aisle… Sam took your left hand and placed it in Arthurs… Castiel got ready to speak again…

Castiel: "do you promise Swearing in good faith to release this young woman into the care of this man whose heart now captivates the heart of your dear sister here? Do you also swear not to take for granted the life you and Dean gave your sister to live even if you were concealing the truth from her.? You may now say your vow on behalf of you and your brother. "

Sam: "YN, we concealed the truth from you as per to our parents wishes, but we made the decision to not tell you the truth when you technically came of age again. Cause you were so happy just training with us and helping us do research. We didn’t want to burden you with the hunters curse information and make you worry. So on profession of our good faith and trust, do so release our sister YN into her marriage to Arthur Ketch. We also swear not to take the life we let her lead for granted cause in the end of it we were just protecting her for the sake of our parents will. We love you so much biscuit, we hope you can be happy enough to allow the Winchester legacy to continue ever more through you.”

To hear your brother say those words made you start to cry as Sam placed a kiss to your cheek, he then backed away and left you with Arthur at the alter. Castiel continued.

Castiel: “very well… marriage in the eyes of God and the hosts is how the love we give is the love we receive. Marriage is how what we are here to celebrate today… The bond that unites the souls of YN and Arthur is the same bond that unites an alpha with their omega… No manner of being is powerful enough to break that bond, Not even God himself. Now before we exchange rings and vows does anyone object to this union?”

No one spoke up so Cas continued…

Castiel: “it’s time for the rings and the vows. When your ready Arthur you can place the ring on YNs left hand and say the vows you have for her.”

Arthur takes the ring places it on your finger and begins to speak.

Arthur: “my beautiful YN, my angel, my beauty to my beast. I love how much you have meant to me these last few hours. I know that learning the truth has not been easy for you, but knowing your now my claimed Omega had put my life back on track. Now i feel whole, for the first time in my life i have clarity and now i have a bright bright future. I love you so much my love. You are my new guiding star which i promise to love, cherish, honor, protect and care for for the rest of my natural life… i promise to uphold the basic deeds and to share the responsibilities of a husband. Neither of us ever have to walk the life of a hunter alone again.”

You felt the cool band on your finger and picked up his and did the same thing he just did to you.

YN: “Arthur, for years i was subjected to the protection of my brothers brought on by my parents wish left in their will. I now know my own strength has been within me this entire time. My sheer force of will was shown when i was training earlier it was like i had another person inside of me fighting to get out. But you brought me back from the edge of disaster, you brought me out of the dark. For that I will ever more be grateful. From hence forth I swear to protect, love, cherish, honor, respect, and care for you for the rest of our lives. I hope one day in the future when we have a family of our own, we will not make the mistake of hiding this from our kids. That we will tell them the truth no matter the consequences. I love you Arthur, always and forever!”

Castiel continued speaking for it was now time to sign the papers and do the heavenly blessing.

Castiel: “now it’s time for our couple to come over here to sign the marriage papers for both Britain and USA. Legalities are a pain in the ass. Please wait patiently while they sign these documents.”

Both you and Arthur went to the table off to the side to sign the papers, after a total of 15 signatures on 6 different documents, you both took place once more in front of Cas in front of the crowd.

Castiel: “now as an Angel of the Lord, i am honored to bestow the heavenly blessing on these two…”

At that moment the room kinda darkened as Cas began to speak again.

Castiel: “By the powers of Heaven and its hosts i honorably bestow to thee the blessings written for thee in the book of knowing, that by the book all things are written so they shall be… this couple in the book of heaven has the following to be bestowed to them this day: Fertility, wisdom, strength, faith and many more. The will of the almighty who wrote the book is that you both live the life you have together and never let anything stand between you. On that note, it is my esteemed honor to introduce to you for the first time Mr and Mrs Arthur and YN Ketch. Arthur you may now kiss your bride.”

The entire room was exploding with applause. You giggled as Arthur pulled you square to his chest and kissed you passionately. Camera lights snapped and cheering errupted. The kiss lasted for a few moments.

Then came the first dance… you of course had danced before but not like this… not at something celebrating you, of course dancing now with Arthur, your husband (geez that was gonna take some getting used to), making out a bit on the dancefloor. Was the highlight of your evening.

Then the time for you and Arthur to give a speech was up… after the speeches that Sam, Dean, and Jo gave you and Arthur couldnt possibly do any worse.

Arthur: “thank you all so much for supporting us. I know i havent known all of you for that long but now having married one person who is most important to many of you im sure we will become good friends in no time at all.”

YN: “i have a couple of thank yous to give out… the first one is to Castiel, thanks Cas for directing the ceremony and for the decoration this is really spectacular. The next thank you goes to my best friend Jo, you are like my sister thank you for helping me get ready for this eventful evening which is why i have to also tie this thank you in with the one i have for Dean… would the both of you just make a move already… i have heard both ends of your love story for both sides… Bro would you do me a favor and kiss her already… i know this is my day but that doesnt mean you cant take 5 seconds and tell Jo how you really feel about her… plus i want to see you happy Bro… oh and Dean thank you for everything from introducing us earlier this day to getting me a dress ahead of time and all the other details in there… im sorry for being such a pain in the ass little sister. I hope you find some happiness with Jo… honestly you guys deserve to be happy with eachother. And finally to my husband, Arthur what i said in my vows, I remembered what happened in the garage it honestly terrified me… i cant believe i almost hurt you… but you claiming me brought me out of the dark and back to the light. I cant begin to imagine what that must have been like for you. And i know you and i have growing to do as a couple, i look forward to the day when we can look back on the events of this day from our meeting till now and see the journey of a thousand miles in one simple day. So thank you for being my kryptonite…”

Arthur: “on top of those thank yous i would also like to thank Sam and Dean for helping to raise such a feisty young woman, i am honored to call you two brother.”

Castiel steps up again and a kind of silent ish bell chimes.

Castiel: “its time for the consummation… those who were told ahead of time to witness this please follow us now but those that were not please enjoy the festivites as they do continue. The bar is fully stocked please enjoy your time.”

Arthur and You went followed by 10 other people to your room. Where it now looked like that of what would be in a palace. Arthur of course carried you over the threshhold and gently set you back on your feet as the crowd poured in watching as the following took place:

Arthur helping to undo your dress

You helping Arthur out of his shirt and unbuckling his pants, watching as he pushed them off.

Arthur then laying you down on the bed, diving himself between your legs his eyes locked to your own. His hard cock positioned at the entrance to your pussy.

Arthur: “just focus on me… no one else here matters right now. Its you and me right now. This is about us… ill go slow…”

YN: “i trust you…”

Arthur kissed you passionately as he thrust his hard cock into your pussy at the same time.

You could feel the darkness melting into a corner, you felt comfortable, you felt normal… that feeling was the feeling of you coming into the powers of both your Alpha and Omega sides blending.

*epilogue*

Twas the next morning that you both woke up to a knock at the door. Covering up you both stayed in bed cuddling…

Arthur: “enter.”

Dean enters the room and clears his throat…

Dean: “Sam and i were gonna go on those hunts later if you guys are interested in joining. Believe me when i say that these hunts are gonna be amazing. Cas already took on the ghost… which is fine… that leave the fun stuff for us 4 to deal with. What do you guys say?”

Arthur looked down at you and you looked up at him, then both of you back at your brothers.

Arthur: “sounds like a family hunting trip… hows about it babe? Ready to hunt!”

YN: “saving people, hunting things, it truly is the family business… when do we leave?”

Arthur reaches beside the bed and into his bag pulling out a box and tossing it to Dean. Dean opens it and brings it over to show you… The Colt.

Arthur: “as promised Brother here is the colt back now in your possession.”

~thats all folks~

hunting for any reason at all is something you have always wanted to do… but your brothers Sam & Dean Winchester weren’t going to let you…

it wasn’t Cas or anyone you knew, it was someone new… someone who looked like he was striking a deal of sorts with your brothers.

Dean came over to you while Sam stayed talking with the mysterious guest.

Dean: “come sis, let’s go for a walk.”

Dean: “I’m guessing you have questions about the hush hush visitor.”

You nodded. Very unsure if you wanted to hear your brother’s answers.

YN: “who is he first of all?”

Dean was a little shocked, he had never heard you raise your voice at him like ever… That kinda hurt him, but how else was he expecting you to react after all he just dropped bomb central on you.

You were pacing, you had no idea what the hell was happening, your brothers were auctioning your life, your future.

YN: "what could possibly be so important that you and Sam would gamble my future away?"
