Chapter 3 - Once Upon A Time

So, my understanding of OUAT is shit, so I would never actually write this, but the idea came to me in a dream; tying in my headcanon/mashup of Peter Pan lore replacing the canon version. Then it turned into canon cast reacts.

This is the most undefined/I read a lot of wiki pages and rewatched that Billiam series fic prompt [and I have seen episode 1 and 2]. But Idk maybe you'll like my Peter.

I have like 6 prompts about this [I take my interpretation of the literature and otherwise characters, use the show's plot of Evil Queen's curse/Storybrooke, and do my own thing. Its wild, its chaotic. Shit happens.], I will not be sharing 2 of them and you'll never know why.

Will I ever watch Once Upon A Time? Probably not, and I think that makes the following funnier.

I hate the whole Malcolm plotline so nearly every prompt is just [Peter Pan isn't Mr.Gold/Rumplestiltskin's father] cept for the canon cast watches kinda.

Warning I guess for Mpreg, idk.

Prompt 1a

While I do recommend going back to my previous post where I talk about Peter Pan; for this post it should be known 3 important things.

1 - Peter as an embodiment of belief, drawing on various sources including og Barrie stuff. Belief as a magic source [though this is adjusted to fit into the OUAT Magic rules].

2 - Hook as a Lost Boy before leaving and growing up, a few things but one of the few good ideas of the 2023 live action. [This is where the love comes in--childhood loves, Hook leaving to become a good man/partner, returning to see Peter still a boy and forgotten him; kinda like Wendy in a she grows up but Peter doesn't; which you can imagine the pain.]

3 - Peter as an adult is primarily post-events Peter Banning from Hook 1991.

Season 1

Peter is one of the many who forgot and lived in Storybrooke.

Peter Pan [Peter Jones] and Captain James Hook [Killian Jones], in their lack of memories, fell in love and married. Peter ran a daycare/orphanage. Henry visits, cause Peter is one of the few that listens to him [even if Peter doesn't believe it].

Peter isn't quite or reserved, though he understands time-and-a-place, but he often offers help and a place to stay at the orphanage/daycare [The Second Star Orphanage] for those needing sanctuary; less someone who always pushes himself into people's problems and is more someone the others gravitate too for his knowledge and advice.

Peter and Killian offering Emma a place to stay at The Second Star Orphanage.

Note = in Storybrooke, Killian uses a prosthetic hand most of the time.

Note 2 = Lost Boys as some of The Second Star Orphanage kids; Felix big brother energy and relaxed. Called Peter 'mum' once in jest and kept to it when Peter gave a ridiculous reaction.

Season 2

Tying in more of the struggles both with themselves and with each-other, especially since Peter's magic [in theory stronger than Ragina's power, and with his memories back now] can return him to boyhood.

Peter and Killian also have a lot more memories to deal with than the other people in the town due to the nature of Neverland, on top of Peter's preventing of him growing up meant he lost memories [to learn and experience is part of growing up] but now as an adult even those repressed memories are returning [loosing memories takes time and requires him staying in boy form for long periods of time]. Early on, Peter uncontrollably reverts to boyhood and must discover whether he wants to return and how to [relief, but also fear of forgetting husband and family, and frustrated/heartbroken at not being able to be with his husband as a boy]; he doesn't lose memories immediately but the longer he stays a boy the more he loses.

Peter regains control of his magic by emotionally coming to a conclusion of staying with Killian.

Later in the season, around the time of August return, Killian and Peter decide to have a renewal ceremony, everyone gets involved in planning and setting up over the next episodes, though the ceremony doesn't happen until after Greg and Tamara activate the fail-safe and the town saved.

Note = Hook never meets Cora as he's in Storybrooke.

Replacing Enchanted Forest Hook with Jack Sparrow, since he can kinda fill the same roles, Killian did, even if the personalities are different. Also, Jack is cool.

Season 3

Fairies are the tragic antagonists, "Everytime a child says 'I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAERIES' there is a faerie somewhere that falls down dead".

For Peter, season 2 was about accepting adulthood and realizing he doesn't have to abandon wonder, season 3 is about accepting his childhood and not resenting or fearing it. Peter's fear of possibly returning to boyhood causes his shadow, willy thing as per the Barrie novel, to fuck off when they reach Neverland, inhibiting Peter's ability to fly. Returns when Peter accepts childhood and returns to boyhood to save Henry, now without the threat of losing his memories if he so wishes.

Season 4

Note = Removing the romantic subplot of Killian and Emma, replaced with Regina and Emma because everything I've read/heard tells me they shoulda been endgame.

Season 5

Camelot's broken state and Arthur’s obsession be a result of the Author's meddling, and not the truth of the Kingdom or Arthur [Still a boy king].

When Killian's becomes a dark one, Peter insists on his love and he and Killian share an intense/rough night before Killian's death and the Underworld arc, leading to a shocking reveal [a baby] by Hades as they return home. Hades not evil, simply very serious of his job [not letting souls easily go] and slightly resentful of Olympus [more akin to the Supergiant version].

Peter joining on the quest in Camelot, bringing Arthur to the orphanage to be able to play with boys his age and experience more of a childhood until Arthur has to go back.

Season 6

Captain Pan baby born; a girl they name Wendy.

Season 7 - aka I watched Hook 1991

Peter Jones/Peter Pan and Killian Jones/Captain Hook, have a second baby (a boy named Liam)

In Hyperion Heights Peter is Eric Banning, an actor, and Killian is James Banning, a Navy Captain, Felix Jones is Faust Banning, Liam Jones is Jack Banning, Wendy Jones is Maggie Banning.

Prompt 1b - Canon cast watches

Canon characters [Emma, Henry, Regina, Killian, Snow, Charming, Rumple, Bell]. They find an artifact that instead of making a new realm it shows them a new world--the AU. Have the Canon cast watch as though standing in the same space as the scenes, but as watchers [they can't interact and can't be seen].

Note = Reactions would be part reacting to canon stuff and au stuff; that Canon characters will be noting and semi-reliving events that they lived through in canon [the wedding of Snow White and Charming + the curse], and some instances that they don't know of canon to their time [such as no one but Emma knowing about the date or what Henry first meeting her was like in canon], or know about but most haven't seen themselves [Mary's volunteering at the hospital and meeting the sleeping Charming].

Canon Peter and Felix were pulled in for some-reason, somehow [mystery set-up for the mirror].

Moving forward for clarity/condensing: {} = Canon, actually happened in the series stuff; [] = Watcher stuff. Anything not in that is AU stuff.

The fog peels back to reveal one of the kids rooms in The Second Star Orphanage [the canon cast looks around]. AU Peter opens the rooms door walks in [none of the canon cast realizing who he is, not even canon Peter], a youth about 25 years old with long wild orange hair in a ponytail and wearing soft green dress, hums and sings the 'second star on the right' song --canon cast not recognizing the song but taken aback by the obvious reference to Neverland = the second star to the right--as AU Peter pulls up blankets and folds them. He pulls back a curtain to look at the north star as though looking for its second on the right then heads down--[seeing this the canon casts wonders if this is just a random lost boy].

The canon cast follows AU Peter through the orphanage and AU Peter is picking up laundry; [Canon Peter seems to start getting an idea, but he doesn't say anything, just tensely watches; no one notices Canon Peter, thinking he's just being his usual self, but Felix watches Canon Peter].

AU Mary’s entrance and the conversation about Henry as they walk. [Realization that this is during the first curse.]

Children run by, nearly knocking him over, they yell 'Sorry, Peter' [cast hesitant, 'there's no way'.] AU Peter huffs playfully and chases after, shoving/pushing the blankets onto AU Killian who was resting after repairing a window. 'Shoving the blankets onto me you insolent youth?' 'says you you old codfish' [cast realizes that that is a version of Peter Pan though not yet the relationship]. Old, gone, faces appear like Graham, knocking on the door with a kid.

[Taking a moment to adjust to all they've seen so far. Especially with their canon Peter, others slowly noticing and realizing canon Peter's feelings.] Note = While I understand it might not be proper canon, I have this idea that he would be a mix of angry/sad at how much better as an adult this AU version has it, even if it's under the curse. Am I wrong? Yeah.

Mary leaves and Peter heads to the kitchen. In the kitchen, helping a kid with her nightly snack is AU Felix. AU Peter teases him and AU Felix jokingly [still somewhat stern/quiet like canon but warmer] calls AU Peter mum/mother in response [watcher's reactions; surprise and laughter at 'mum/mother' of all things].

Next day morning routine. AU Henry arrives.

A scene based on We Own the Night from the Finding Neverland musical = AU Killian playing pirate as the kids try to 'save' a laughing Peter. [Watcher's reactions to AU Killian/Hook playing pirate], Kids with fake swords and costume animal ears--the scene reminiscent of Neverland Lost Boys vs Pirates but in a lighter atmosphere.

More of AU Killian and AU Peter Pan. AU Red bursts in, AU Red called AU Peter Pan 'Jones'. AU Killian pulls AU Peter Pan to his side by the waist; a sexual innuendo--something about AU Peter teasing AU Killian for being old and AU Killian says to AU Peter Pan about how spry he can be, and a kiss that leaves AU Peter Pan a little red and pouty. [Canon cast realizing AU Killian and AU Peter Pan are married. With a focus on canon Peter and canon Killian's reactions].

[Interlude - Fog returns and the cast gets a moment to process everything.]

Episode 1

For this, I would condense the flashback scenes into one thing at the start.

{S1EP - Pilot Open within the characters' past/a flashback; on the wedding day of Snow White and Prince Charming}. AU Captain Hook decked out in his full red regalia, and AU Peter, still a boy and not yet grown up by the curse. AU Peter gives AU Snow flowers from Neverland. [Watcher's taken aback by just how small this Peter is, barely 8 and not like the more teen-like of canon Peter] But AU Peter still wrangling kids--this time the lost boys. [A moment of Emma clutching at her heart at the cuteness of tiny AU Peter giving AU Snow the flowers - 'he baby'.]

[Canon cast/watcher reactions especially with the appearance of AU Hook and of the wedding itself].

The Evil Queen arrives and delivers an ominous threat about a powerful curse she intends to release upon them; she look's to Peter and says something about belief, hinting at the difference between canon and the au.

Some time later, a pregnant Snow White is worried about the curse and visits Rumpelstiltskin; Peter by her side [watchers see AU Peter and AU Rumple interact as cordial and curious]. Rumple mention's belief again, to the watcher's confusion [deducing]. AU Peter flying about occasionally [like the books], but feet are still dirty from eternal playing.

The bit about the wardrobe.

Curse activation = Open with Neverland in this AU; the mermaid lagoon, the natives and Tiger Lilly, the Jolly Rodger and its pirates singing shanties. Longshot on AU Neverland and its differences to canon - such as it going colorless when Peter leaves/taken by the curse. AU Peter feeling something shift when the curse hits. Cut to the curse rolling in over everyone else.

An interlude with the watchers after everything, then at the end continue the pilot in present-day Boston with Emma Swan.

Everything proceeds as outlined in 1a, just with canon cast reactions; which I do have outlines for ep 1 and 2, but this is getting long already.

This went on real long so imma shot fire the rest.

Prompt 2 - aka it would have been better if they did this [or had Peter be someone's brother if they so desperately wanted Peter on Henry's family tree; thats canon to the og books. Peter leaves as an infant, lives with the birds and the fairies, then wants to go home only to see bars at the window and a new baby in his crib, so he goes back to the faries and the birds to be eternally young.]

OUAT AU. Peter Pan isnt Rumplestilskin's father, but rather his son.

Peter ran away from home, not wanting to grow up [Kensington Gardens].

Setting: Storybooke. Peter Pan as Malcolm Gold, Mr. Gold's teen son.

Prompt 3 - He didn't intend for it to happen at all, didn't know it could.

Malcolm didn't give up his son, and he didn't send him away when he became Peter Pan. Malcolm, Fiona, and Rumple live in a shack at the edge of town where Malcolm does odd jobs. Malcolm sad and angry at the world, but always worked hard, hiding the worse of the aches some jobs left him from his son, and told magical stories to his son; an adult who hadn't forgotten what it means to be a child.

To sever Rumplestiltskin's Savior ties, Fiona does all the things she does in canon--the change here is that a great sacrifice must be made, instead of the shears, and Fiona sacrifices her husbands memories and some of his years to reduce and trap Malcolm as a boy; he is found by Tinkerbell who names him Peter and takes him to Neverland. [Fiona is then banished for severing Rumplestiltskin's Savior ties as per canon].

Peter is no longer a villain, but just a boy with a lot of belief and overtime, as the island accepts him, a lot of power.

A resourceful big brother, a scared kid with adults that puts on a brave face, parental but not a parent anymore [and he can't remember why, doesn't understand how caring for the lost boys is so natural].

Rumplestiltskin attempting to find out what happened to his father, then finding his father. Dark Magic arc.

Season 3; Peter not as the antagonist, Greg and Tamara trying to destroy Neverland too.

What if in the cavern, what Gold/Rumple reveals is the spell his mother did on his father; what if Peter was also there and stuck like the others. Afterwards, Peter is still just a boy, but now knows the truth of his past, and he tries to connect to Rumple again; doing fatherly things in his boyish way.

Prompt 4 - You but a bunch of teens together, all boys or not, and something is going to give.

Henry is the son of Peter Pan and Felix [no Malcolm plot; again, I really hate that/esp the way they did it].

Conceived in a manner that comes from leaving teens unsupervised [teen couples getting touchy and not understanding contraceptives; not a gender bend, the impossible magic of Neverland is entwined with Peter, sunny when he's happy/stormy when sad, gray when gone/alive when there; 'Neverland is a place of dreams with Pan at the belief center, as long as one kid in the world don't know that men don't get pregnant, than its possible in Neverland'].

Peter getting round and the lost boys running around and trying to do their hideout in a way that's good for someone pregnant but it ends up looking more like an animals nest; and catching Hook's attention, leading the pirate to harshly (concerned because for all that Peter is a devilish brat, he's also just a kid/teen) give advice and help.

Peter and Felix send Henry away so he could get older and not stuck as an infant in never aging Neverland. But the Evil Queen adopts him, taking him to Storybrooke, and the magic surrounding Storybrooke means Peter is unable to find Henry.

Season 2 = As Emma, Mary, and Hook get to storybrooke and meet up with the others and Hook sees Henry for the first time again in storybooke (With a shock, the sort that is more like a 'huh' that real surprise, and a bit if sadness Hook says something along the lines of "Oh, you're Pan's and that lieutenant of his, boy, yeah?"

A bunch of prompts I might one day use, in chapters.

Chapter 1 - Devil is a Part-Timer

Prompt 1

This one is like, really long so bear in mind. This has like, 24 pages of not even story, on google docx's, I am sharing just chapter 1 [or what would be a chapter 1] of it.

The heroes, Emilia, Emerada, Olba, and Albert just won against the demon army and king Satan. Just as they plan to strike Satan down Archangel Gabriel and his small group of angel soldiers interrupt, surprising all as an angel appearing is very rare. No one knows Gabriel on sight, only Satan is able to recognize him through Lailah's description. Gabriel tells everyone that Satan cannot be killed, and after drawing out some tension he then explains that the demon king cannot be killed because Satan is also the sephirot Da'at. The tree of life is withering, causing a lot of problems in Ente Isla and it needs da'at to function and hopefully revive it. This comes as a surprise to all. Gabriel hints to Satan privately out of earshot of the others, not wanting to reveal Lailah's actions lest heaven look bad, it is because of special knowledge and a gem given to him by the angel Lailah, who saved Satan's life centuries ago. The hero's bring Satan to the western continent to be held within the walls of the Church of Ente Isla, unsure of what to do. Satan goes along with both to understand this situation as well, not being in a position to negotiate as the heroes defeated him and his army, and to figure a way to save demons. Alciel is allowed to follow them.

As I continued onwards, I thought to revise some parts, especially as time goes on and I include parts of the novel later into this version of the world. I decided to keep the initial run as is and sometimes add these notes.

A = About 18-ish pages in, I thought maybe changing this starting point to instead have Gabriel not straight up say ‘Satan is da’at’ what with the whole secrecy thing [it started as a funny shock 1-2 shot chapters fic, but… well]; instead maybe have Gabriel start heavens ‘canonization’ [later down the page plot point, like pg 8 that you don't see here] by stating that Satan is ‘required for the grand-plan of the universe’ ah la ‘Satan is God’s opposer/adversary/necessary evil/insert whatever title for Satan IRL here’; but Maou would not roll with that BS. I don't remember if it's ever revealed how Maou knows as much of heaven he does, I have the impression Lailah mostly spoke of humans, or how much. But he probably knows enough that that wouldn’t fool him.

B = Gabriel does the reveal but also seals Satan’s power which would cause him to turn human-form, or mostly and maybe like that partial-transformation, but full-human could allow for some hero’s-hiding-the-demon-king, and, king-believed-dead plot. Gabriel binds most of Satan’s power into a sword [Basically Rin vibes] and sheathing the blade into a special sheath which would restrict Satan’s ability to access that power and cause him to turn to a partial human-form = human appearance but with horns, hooves, and wings. Gabriel only seals most and not all so as to continue hiding the secret of what demons are, he also hands a non-removable choker that glamours the demon parts away, and lies that the power sealing and appearance change are unrelated. Gabriel repeats this with Alciel.

Prompt 2; this one only has 2 pages.

Canon divergence – When Suzuno and Sadao pass through the gate of hell. Sadao was originally unable to return to his demon form because of his bond with Acieth Alla. But in this Canon Divergence, the group realized this since ‘Sadao’ never returned to his demon form despite everything going in at Chiho’s highschool Acieth bonded to Suzuno so that Sadao/Satan can have full access to his demonic power in Enta Isla.

Additional AU changes, having Chiho be college age and in college. And Emi be college age as well. Satan/Maou more receptive about Chiho's feelings [and less creepy cause she aint 16], just scared, having never experienced romantic feelings in his 300 and so years, and afraid of hurting or endangering her.

A scene = Sadao putting on his demonic clothing in preparation of returning to his demon form in Enta Isla. Chiho commenting on how sad it is that she can’t join because she wanted to see Sadao/Satan in his demon form, Sadao/Satan points out that she did back when Sariel captured her, Chiho claims that doesn’t count because of the dire situation. Sadao/Satan saying it's not a nice look, but Chiho embarrassedly/excitedly says that Sadao/Satan was very handsome and the horns and such really showed off the mysterious/mystical side you don't really get with Emi and Suzuno. When Satan leaves for the gate, he tells Chiho ‘You are everything I never knew I always wanted.

Later in the story after he and Crestia enter Ente Isla, they run into a squadron of knights making their way to Heavensky; reluctantly the knights join with Crestia and Satan on the way to Heavensky learning much about the man of their greatest fears–I love non protagonist/antagonist pov's.

Prompt 3; aka How is there not a time travel fic yet.

Following the rescue of Emilia from the Eastern Empire debacle and the subsequent interrogation of Gabriel, it is realized just how deep heaven's influence and manipulation has gone. The Landlady decides that the best way to help Ente Isla is to send someone far enough back in time to put forth an alternate narrative. She sends Satan back to when the demon world was just unified. Alone.

The main love pairing for this fic is to be Alciel/Ashiya x Satan/Maou. Third person POV.

#once upon a time #ouat #peter pan #ouat peter pan #Captain Hook #uhhh #ouat rumple #side note - is it just me reading/watching the recaps out of context or is Henry less a character and more a MacGuffin?#captain pan #in some #watch Maude Adams and the LGBTQ History of Peter Pan for context #A little context - its a small part of the video granted #I have a rp sketch Peter post that quotes it #I think that post has an idea of my Peter idea but I can't recall and im stuck in tag hell #mpreg reference

I forgot the most important part of my Batjokes Mpreg concept! The birth.

I have a couple scenarios for how the birth could go down, my preferred scenario is where Joker contacts Bats and forces him to help him through childbirth.

At first, Joker is stubborn, refusing help at first, shutting down his henchmens concerns and suggestions to just go to the fucking Hospital, “I can handle it.”, “I’m fine”, until the most painful contraction comes---

After falling to the floor in pain, a scream. He carefully gets up, in defeat orders “Call Bats.”

He doesn’t exactly have Batman on speed-dial, so contacting him requires telling his goons to go out, cause trouble to lure him, and hand him a Walkie Talkie so Joker can better explain the situation.

Batman, already knows about the baby (see recent post), but he kinda---tried to forget it. So when Joker’s goons hand him a walkie with Joker trying to act natural despite the pained grunts, heavy breathes, and occasional scream and curses. Well, it’s kinda hard to ignore that!

Joker’s version of asking Batman for help isn’t “Hey, our baby is coming, I need help.”

it’s

“I have put explosives in every water tower in the city, if you refuse to help me, my water won’t be the only one breaking.”

“......What?”

Joker doesn’t want to go to the hospital because of the risk that the doctors might immediately take the newborn away since----he’s an unpredictable madman. So this is happening in the hideout.

Joker automatically assumes since Batman is super skilled in combat and solving crimes, that also means he has medical and childbirth knowledge (apparently there are comics where Batman does indeed successfully help deliver a baby, but for this scenario it’s more entertaining if he doesn’t).

Batman is like “I’m flattered you think I have unlimited knowledge, but no where in my training did I prepare for childbirthing courses, let alone male childbirth. I am not qualified for this, I could take you to the hospital tho--”

“NO HOSPITAL!”

Internally Bruce is screaming and freaking out: THERE WAS NO TRAINING FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, WHY AM I BEING PUT IN THIS SITUATION, IF I SCREW UP WHAT IF THEY BOTH DIE? I DON’T WANT A STILLBORN BABY ON MY CONSCIOUS.

Externally since Batman is stoic he’s masking the panic with calm “We should really take you to the hospital.” Awkward attempts at comforting touches, “What--what do you need? Do you need anything?” and also carefully attempting to coherse an already irked in pain Joker, to hand over the detonator for the watertowers.

Realistically, Baby would probably have to come out via C section, but painful childbirth is more entertaining (exit via anus or tears through the perineum)

C section version in the hideout would be Joker going “screw this” takes out a knife from his nearby stash and starts DIY C section, Batman freaks out, has to make sure J doesn’t bleed out, then J successfully pulls out the baby and

It’s a girl with Joker’s unnaturally white skin thanks to ACE Chemicals, and Bruce’s hair color and blue eyes. She’s pretty much a genderbent baby Bruce with Joker’s skin (as she grows and her hair grows out to have green streaks)

which opens a whole other complicated can of worms! How the heck is this going to work?

Also, if Joker didn’t know Batman’s identity already, he does now.

“Hm, you know, she kinda looks like that rich Wayne guy, I know I used your D.N.A. though, I didn’t make a mista-----BATSY, YOU’RE BRUCE WAYNE?!”

Bestie,,, please explain about fixing season 8 with mpreg dean,,, I am Intrigued

Ok so. This will make a lot more sense if y’all have seen wynonna Earp but. Deans motive in s8 is to End It All, right? Like his logic is seal up hell -> mop up the rest of the demons on earth -> bada bing bada boom no more problems. Only like. That doesn’t really track? Necessarily? Like dean keeps repeating it’ll be over it’ll be over but like. What’s over. Their hunting careers? The leftovers of the apocalypse?? The endless cycle of grief and loss and misery Sam and dean find themselves trapped in????? Like the reason s8 is so weak for me is partially BECAUSE deans motives are so vague and undefined.

Now before I explain this next bit I need to explain a plot point from wynonna Earp s2. So like. Wynonna Earp is cursed. With the Earp Curse. Which I am not going to explain but basically it passes down through the blood. Wynonna inherited it from her dad when he failed to lift it before he died. That’s like. The premise of the show. And in s2, wynonna gets pregnant for reasons. And like. Before she got pregnant, wynonna didn’t really give that much of a shit about the curse. Like she was just sort of playing along. She never really got into BREAKING the curse because at first she didn’t really give a shit but then as the show progressed she’s like. Invested part of her identity in BEING cursed. She’s the fucking Earp heir!! Watch out bitches!!

Only now she’s pregnant. And she’s suddenly facing the distinct and very real possibility that if she DOESNT break the curse, she’s gonna pass it on to her baby. And like. She didn’t WANT a baby, not really, but she can’t do that. The curse is ending with her, one way or another. So like. In s2 after wynonna gets pregnant shit gets down to the WIRE. she gets desperate! She’s doing everything within her power to break the curse and save her baby!! She’s going up against insanely powerful monsters while NINE MONTHS PREGNANT because she’s THAT dedicated to giving her kid a better life than what she had!!!

So like. Take that knowledge and think abt s8 dean. Like. In a way the winchesters are cursed. They’re the main characters. The plot is ALWAYS happening to them. And honestly? Dean was mostly fine with it. Like sure, he’s miserable, but he’s long past the point where he’s started to define himself as the Righteous Man, Saver Of The World. Dean on his own would happily go on being a miserable victim of the plot for the rest of his life, because he derives meaning and identity from it.

But now he’s pregnant. And he’s suddenly facing the very real and distinct possibility of bringing a baby into a world where he’s got beef with every evil thing under the sun. His baby is gonna be the grand prize for every demon that manages to worm its way topside. And on top of that, deans bringing a baby into HIS life. Where dean is desperately unhappy and trapped in a constant cycle of death and loss and grief. Where dean just has terrible thing after terrible thing happen to him. And suddenly, he isn’t content to let himself be victimized by his own plot relevancy. The curse has to end. For the sake of his baby.

So NOW dean has a lil fire under the belly, so to speak. He’s gonna do anything and everything in his power to make the world a better place for his baby. He’s getting Out, he’s seriously kicking around the idea of retiring, and he ain’t about to leave his enemies to live another day and come back swinging when he’s vulnerable. And sure, monsters aren’t exactly friendly, but deans most dangerous enemies have always been demons. And so. He’s gonna close the gates of hell. Might even close the gates of heaven, while he’s at it. He’s gonna do anything and everything to make sure that this baby has it better than he ever did.

So like. Deans taking on monsters right up until his due date. He’s running himself ragged. He’s running everyone around him ragged. He ain’t stopping until hell is closed and heaven is locked up and he’s gonna do it fast, because he’s on a time limit. Aint no way in hell he’s waiting to finish this thing until after the baby comes. And so. The curse ends here. One way or another.

The other thing that happens at the end of s2 of wynonna Earp is she actually ends up sending her baby away. And I think dean would do the same thing. Like it would kill him on the inside, but he would think about all the people that want him dead, and he’d think about how it was growing up with John dragging him and Sam around, and he’d be like. I have to give my baby up. It’s the best thing I can possibly do for it. Anyways I’m literally begging u all to stream wynonna Earp just so u can see the scene right after wynonna gives birth and is holding her baby and she’s like. Full on sobbing while saying I don’t wanna do it. Please don’t make me do it. While her sister is like. Wynonna we have to get the baby out of here. Literal TEARS in my EYES. And thinking abt dean doing the exact same thing has me on the edge of a mental breakdown

#it’s also juicy bc that scene where dean is convincing sam to stop the trials bc he’ll die #turns into a choice. what will you choose to save dean. your unborn child? or your brother; who’s more like your son

Canon Era - Single Fic Arcs

Rheged

Author: McShame

Description:

Post S5 (AU): canon to the end of S4 & part of the way through S5.

Gwen and Arthur have been married for several years, Merlin’s magic has been revealed and Arthur has now reached a kind of cold peace with it. Then a delegation arrives from a kingdom based on magic, and suddenly Destiny is starkly and ruthlessly thrust to the fore. The question is should - can - it be avoided?

Word Count: 124,383

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

Definitely might want to pay attention to the tags on this one; one scene can be interpreted both as dubious consent (but more like a I want this, but I can’t do this type of situation), as well as mentions of infidelity and attempted suicide by magic because Merlin just doesn’t want to deal with the fallout and aftermath of his and Arthur’s actions and the consequences it has on their relationships with Gwen and Gwaine. But if you can handle the rough spots, this fic is truly spectacular.

Whispering Your Name

Author: CaffeinatedFlumadiddle

Description:

A different take on the dorocha. Instead of them being faceless screams that attack you, they are actually figures of the dead. Merlin doesn’t quite realize how much death affected him until him and the knights go to close the veil.

Word Count:��22,517

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

One of my absolute favorite fics of all time. It also has a bit of Uther redemption in it and Lancelot lives! It also has one of my favorite interactions in a fanfiction:

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Arthur growled, throwing up his hands. “That thing murdered my people and you allowed it to live--”

“You murdered my people and I allowed you to live,” Merlin said sharply. Gwaine felt his eyes widen. Bold words. Part of him wanted to ‘ooh’ at it but knew it would lead to a very bad outcome.

Dower the Stars

Author: RurouniHime

Description:

During a time of great prosperity in Albion, the Druids offer Emrys a precious gift. Arthur is not amused.

Word Count: 40,654

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

A super fun but also very romantic fic. Druids far and wide come in and kiss Merlin, hoping that their magic will react a certain way with Merlin’s and he’ll bond with one of them. Merlin however decides to throw a wrench in his plan when he chooses to bond with Arthur instead after almost losing him.

Overstepping

Author: Masked_Mayhem

Description:

Merlin knew he was pushing his limits, that he was millimetres away from overstepping the invisible line that Arthur had wordlessly set and the warlock had been careful not to cross, but he was never one to listen to the rules that were set for him. Especially not when he was afraid.

Agravaine had managed to weasel his way into his king’s mind and ingrain doubts in the people he loved, the people that loved him...doubts that only took place and bloomed as the traitor lied and deceived and planted things against them. He had gotten rid of Gwen easily enough, and had almost gotten rid of Gaius. Merlin was afraid. Were a few words and items all it would take for Arthur to turn against him too?

Word Count: 51,915

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

Merlin steps over a line and Arthur punishes him for it. Later, when Merlin was right, Arthur regrets his decision and saves him. Romance blooms between the two, but a wrench gets thrown in along the way with the reveal of Merlin’s magic and deeds in Arthur’s name. There is a lot of angst, but I like to feel as if it’s a happy ending for the two.

Springes to Catch Woodcocks

Author: myashke

Description:

When Arthur pushes Merlin away to protect him, what lengths will Merlin go to remain in his life

Word Count: 83,292

Completed: No

Comment(s):

Unfortunately the only negative that this fic has going for it is that it doesn’t seem as if it’ll ever be finished. There are 7 chapters and they were last updated in December of 2011. Still worth the read.

Two Souls

Author: Naelyn

Description:

A few days after Camlann, Merlin and Morgana find themselves imprisoned in the same place, and forced to spend their days together. Basically, this is just a pretext for non-stop Merlin and Morgana interaction once the Emrys reveal has been made.

“I’ve gone soft over the day, you know. A few months ago, I would have killed you where you stood.”

“A few months ago, you did try to kill me where I stood,” Merlin reminded her, and she could hear the smirk in his tone.

Word Count: 11,417

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

One of the only fics on this list that won’t be specifically a Merthur fic; but it still isn’t Mergana either. The idea is that after the revelation at Camlann, one can assume that Arthur lived and that Morgana wasn’t killed; that Merlin had been banished or sent away for the lies he told and somehow was subsequently captured.

What starts out as a hostile interactions between Merlin and Morgana leads to understanding and apologies that lead on a path to healing. The end is left open ended, it’s implied that they are sent to their deaths in another kingdom without hope of being rescued, but you can use your imagination to decide if you wanted them to have a happier ending.

The Patter of Tiny Feet on Cold Stone Floors

Author: TheAvalonian

Description:

When Guinevere finds that she is unable to bear Arthur a child, Merlin offers her the perfect solution: an ancient spell which can create new life out of love, if that love is pure and powerful enough. But after the ritual, it becomes increasingly obvious that while Gwen has indeed become pregnant, the child she carries might not have been created from the love between Arthur and his wife - but rather from the love between Arthur and his Court Sorcerer.

Word Count: 79,131

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

Merlin and Arthur have a baby! But it’s not an mpreg fic. Guinevere discovers that Arthur and Merlin are more tied together than she and Arthur are - and while that is difficult for her to come to terms with, she concedes that Arthur has the chance that she never had with Lancelot and doesn’t want to stand in the way. Queue of course evil plotting on behalf of Morgana and a kidnapping of the queen and princess - who happens to have shown gifts of her own - and it’s a rollercoaster of a tale that leaves you wanting more.

Metamorphose

Author: clotpolesonly

Description:

When Merlin falls into bed with Arthur, he doesn’t expect to wake up alone. He doesn’t expect Arthur to give him the cold shoulder either, but there is something else he expects even less which forces him out of the kingdom for over a year.

He returns to find a traitor in the court, an army on the way, and a love he’d thought all but lost waiting for him with open arms.

Word Count: 33,753

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

I don’t usually enjoy mpreg fics because they don’t make sense to me from a biological stand point and usually get explained away as “because reasons”. This fic is an exception, it does a good job of explaining why it is that Merlin might wound up in his situation and it deals with difficult question about how to handle the knowledge and who to share it with.

Flowers in the Wind

Author: the_seaworthy_muffin

Description:

A thousand and five-hundred years ago, Arthur Pendragon is sent to the god Emrys as Camelot’s yearly tribute. He comes to befriend the god, and as the prince continues to spend time on the god’s island, something more seems to blossom between them. But then the Lady Morgana goes missing, and Arthur betrays Emrys to his father in a moment of misguided trust. Emrys’ island burns, the heart-broken god refusing to fight for his life. In dying, he puts a terrible curse upon the prince: to live forever, and never forget.

A millennium and a half has passed. Arthur is being slowly torn apart from the inside-out, memories of the past an ever-growing weight in his chest. When he finally finds Emrys again, he is elated - he’s ready to beg, weep, anything, if only he can find blissful forgetfulness. But while the god’s power has not faded, his memories have, and he lives his life as young artist Merlin Emrys, believing himself to be a simple man with interesting gifts. And Arthur’s hopes are dashed. But there is one last way: Arthur can try, and make Merlin remember again.

Word Count: 67,366

Completed: No - but it is being continuously updated

Comment(s):

This is a truly spectacular work of fiction and I almost didn’t give it a chance. I am so glad that I did. Honestly, this is now one of my favorite authors on AO3.

Peace, Plum, Pear

Author: sweetestdrain

Description:

How in his tenth year of rule King Arthur chose a man to take the role of Court’s Magician, and how Arthur made his decision.

Word Count: 13,700

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

Merlin fled the kingdom after Uther found out about his magic, and now it’s been ten years since the old king’s death and Arthur’s ascension to the throne, and yet Merlin is still nowhere to be found.

Arthur gives in and holds trials for the new Court Sorcerer and in walks in an old man named Myrddin Wyllt. But, there’s more than meets the eye to this strange and mysterious magician.

Deluge

Author: Suaine

Description:

In the aftermath of Merlin’s battle against Nimueh, the rain seems a minor complication, perhaps even a cleansing influence. When the rain doesn’t stop, Camelot is pushed to the brink once more. This time, Arthur may be in over his head.

Contains: a lot of wet boys in emotional scenes, Arthur knowing more than he lets on, Merlin being an idiot, both of them being a bit stupidly heroic, telepathic chess, rain (lots of), war, making out against a tree, coincidental druids, co-opted history, co-opted myths, magic, coming of age (metaphorically), and more magically annoying yet surprisingly un-floody water than you can shake a stick at.

Word Count: 50,565

Completed: Yes

Comment(s):

Beautifully written fic, truly a great addition to the fandom.

Idiosyncratic Romance

Author: F0rcryinoutloud

Description:

“And what about your destiny?” Gaius asked softly. “Merlin, you know Arthur needs you - whether he realizes it or not. You won’t have to hide from him forever.”

Description:

Word Count: 6,571

Comment(s):

This is a wonderful magic reveal fic where Merlin goes out and discovers more about magic while still taking care of Arthur and protecting him; Arthur is constantly at war because Uther has decided he wants to take over and unite Albion.

Do you have any rec list with bonds, forced or not between drarry From soulmate bond to magical link, whatever really

OH BOY DO I. This is one of my favorite tropes, and this list (which I made on a whim upon seeing a facebook post about bonding) barely scratches the surface of all the amazing related fics! Enjoy <3<3<3

The Destiny You Sold by @tryslora (59K)- In which Draco knits, Harry makes wands, and things get very tangled up between them.HONESTLY just the memory of this fic is so happy and healing that I’m almost certainly going to reread it a third time within the next week there’s KNITTING!!! But also D/S dynamics and shop-owning and tons of wonderful amazingness

For The Greater Good by @jadepresley (62K)- When Harry and Draco discover they’ve been bonded to one another, neither one of them is prepared for the secrets they slowly begin to uncover. Together, they learn that they can’t escape their past, or the things that have been left hidden there, and that sometimes the only way to move forward is to look back.This fic has SO MANY GREAT THINGS! I started to type them all out but then realized y’all probably don’t want a ton of spoilers and the way the plot of this fic unfolds and everything comes together is just masterful and enthralling and full of surprises!

Lift Your Open Hand by @firethesound (18.5K)- With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.I love love love this fic! It’s got sort-of bumbling Auror partners!Drarry who get into trouble first thing and then COVER IT UP like a pair of adorable idiots and of course they’re like this will be FINE until it’s not fine and everybody’s in love and Nick Cage is there for some reason and the reader is grinning like a loon

Twice as Much as an Earthquake by @firethesound (18.5K)- Accidental bonding. Breaking and entering. Conspiring, however unwillingly, in the strange one-man war Malfoy’s waging against detention. This isn’t the normal school year Harry anticipated having, but at least it’s not boring.I read this so long ago it is DEFINITELY time for a re-read because all I remember is feeling a great sense of mischief and joy, and like that’s everything we all need in our lives right now.

Unexpected Consequences by lauren3210 (39K)- Harry was going back to school. He was going to play Quidditch, sleep in lessons, hang out with his friends, and generally just enjoy being a kid for a change. And he was also going to do it while being bonded with Malfoy, because apparently life was just going to continue throwing curveballs at him. Harry didn’t know why he expected anything different.This is one of the earliest drarry fics I read (possibly the first eighth year one?) and I have adored it ever sense! It has a wonderful premise, great exploration of issues of consent with a power imbalance, and all your standard amazing bonding tropes– especially roommates!! And Harry being Draco’s protector! OH AND it was written to go with “that picture” (you know the one) and so has an amazing dark mark removal scene that I’ll never forget!

In Evidence of Magical Theory by @bixgirl1 (43.5K)- When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, they’re forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible.In which Harry and Draco can’t fight, so they fall in love instead.OKAY I REMEMBER when I read this fic and was like WHO IS THIS RANDOM AMAZING WRITER??? because it was her first fic and now she’s one of the greats but damn this fic is still a testament to some of the things bix does best and is a must-read!!! Magical theory! Eighth year! Room sharing! BED SHARING! Her first drarry rimming scene!!! (Aww<3) You will not regret!

Salt on the Western Wind by Saras_Girl (60.5K)- When the war isn’t quite as over as it first appears, a guilt-ridden Harry is sent to a mysterious safe-house. Among sandwiches, insomnia, and Mills & Boon, he discovers something quite unexpected. Like every single Saras_Girl fic ever, this fic is a true gem. It’s a relatively simple setting (seeing as they’re stuck in a house) but so realistic and subtle and evocative. The bonding in this fic is more physical than emotional, which is not only an interesting change of pace but also makes for many truly wonderful and embarrassing moments :D

The Comfort of Tea by Omi_Ohmy (20.5K)- A lawn mower, a pertly pink todger, endless cups of tea and a few sly grins. Oh yes, and Harry is cursed to temporarily bond to anyone he gets close to; for some reason that person ends up being Draco, more often than not…OKAY usually bonding fics are all angsty and pining-y, but this one is just fucking ADORABLE and fluffy and warm and cute and it will make you happy!!!!

Soup-pocalypse and the Great Curry Cataclysm by SquadOfCats (104.5K)- Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.This fic was like a revelation when I read it because it was so. damn. good!!! One of my favorite fics of all time and a VERY refreshing take on the veela!Draco trope. Draco is the most hilarious, snarky, relatable narrator and the story is full of pining and tons of entertaining incidents and it’s just a perfect (and long, bless us all!) fic!

Bond by AnnaFugazzi (173.5)- I started to write this before HBP came out, and crossed my fingers that HBP wouldn’t make it totally non-canon. No such luck, I’m afraid. This, therefore, is an AU story, where (SPOILER) still teaches (SPOILER), (SPOILER) didn’t try to (SPOILER), (SPOILER) didn’t succeed in (SPOILER), (SPOILER) never dated (SPOILER), and most importantly, (MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS) never happened.This is like… the OG drarry bonding fic. An absolute classic, for very good reason! Warning for pressure to be intimate because of the bond.

Timeshare by @astolat (14K)- “It’s not for long,” Hermione said. “By the time we get back to Hogwarts, the Unfettering Brew will be ready.”“Listen to you!” Ron said. “He’s got to get through a month with the Dursleys and a month at Malfoy Manor. With Draco Malfoy.”“Yeah, thanks,” Harry said, because he hadn’t just spent the last week contemplating just how much more horrible his summer holidays were about to be than they’d ever been before.My favorite part about this fic is the sweet sweet satisfaction of Draco meeting the Dursleys and being VERY Malfoy about it. But there are also a lot of touching moments of Harry and Draco figuring each other out and learning to respect each other as well.

Dear Uncle Plume by @eidheann (16.5K)- Life after war is nothing like Draco expected. He only hopes he’ll survive it. Especially when his friends are less than sympathetic.OKAY BUT AGONY AUNT DRACO. That’s literally all that needs to be said and if that isn’t enticing to you then who even are you. Also contains great Slytherin friendships, struggling Draco, and secret relationship -> mpreg -> bond -> angst drama <3

The Sleeping Beauty Curse by who_la_hoop (152.5K)- When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken – at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth – by ‘true love’s kiss’, Harry Potter knows there’s no way on earth he’s the answer to this particular riddle. Is he …?This is a FABULOUS fic, completely hilarious and touching and full of all your favorite tropes, and SO LONG!!! Hours and hours of pure enjoyment :D

The Arrangement by create_serenity (Sivany) (16K)- The arrangement was very simple really, and very convenient. Draco just hadn’t expected it to result in this mess.So veela!Harry and veela!Draco have a deal in which they casually help each other out (with sex, in case that wasn’t obvious) while they search for their true mates, and OF COURSE you know what happens next and honestly what a brilliant idea

Before the World Was Made by daftfear (43K)- Draco has done everything in his power to leave the past behind him. He’s established himself a successful business and built a reputation around the quality of his work and the breadth of his knowledge. But when aurors show up at his shop one afternoon, seeking his expertise on a peculiar item of questionable origins, they completely overthrow the precarious balance in Draco’s life. Trust Potter to bring danger and destruction in his wake, along with a painful reminder of all the things Draco is trying to forget.WHAT BETTER to bond our two boys together than a cursed (wedding!!) ring, right?? Also I love any and all fics with antique shop owner!Draco, and lots of exploration of wizarding history and traditions, and this one does both things so well <3

Hungry by birdsofshore (24K)- The first thing Harry knew about it was when he woke up lying on a bed in the hospital wing, with his arm firmly stuck to the scrawny, milk-white arm of Draco bloody Malfoy.Another classing must-read bonding fic!!! This time featuring drarry as enemies with their arms literally stuck together in eighth year. AS GOOD AS IT COULD GET. One of my favorite enemies-to-lovers fics AND one of my favorite eighth year fics!

The Silent Lover // A Thorki Fairytale!AU

Words: ~5,3k

Summary: Inspired by Grimms’ The Six Swans: King Thor finds a man in the woods during his hunt. In love with the man before him, Thor takes the silent stranger home and the man soon beomes his lover and consort. What will happen when Thor has noticed his beloved’s strange behaviours though? And what dark secret is the king's lover trying to hide from him?

Mpreg, king!Thor, love at first sight, mute Loki, lies and secrets, magic, curses, angst, fluff

Notes: Co-written with @the-sun-shining-on-thorki - thank you for this fun and amazing experience! I loved it!!!

When Thor first beholds the man in the woods, he goes speechless. The excitement for hunting is now gone as he stands transfixed on the raven-haired man sitting on the forest ground. Dressed in rags and covered with dust, the man might look hideous to most, but not to Thor: the King is mesmerized by the stranger’s emerald eyes and soft pink lips.

“You must be injured. Here, let me help you.” Thor says as he steps closer to the frail man before him.

Instead of welcoming his assistance, or advances, the man backs away in fear. Thor looks back and realises what has triggered his fear: the hounds and the group of huntsmen behind him are staring at the man like they would a prey.

“You don't have to be afraid,” Thor quickly says, waving his hand to signal his men to retreat a little. “I mean no harm to you, I promise.”

The man looks at Thor with suspicion, but after a few moments, his tension slowly fades away a little. His eyes lose their stinging and fearful glare, but he doesn't say a word. He just looks at Thor in silence, as if he lost his voice.

Happy with the new display of trust, Thor quickly unties his fur cloak before wrapping it around the stranger. The man has no shoes, Thor has noticed, so without asking for his permission, Thor lifts him into his arms before slowly walking to his horse.

Seconds later, he regrets his decision.

The man starts to panic in his arms, struggling to get off as he turns his head to look deep into the forest as if he is searching for something. The king’s arms remain firm around him, but Thor makes soft shushing sound to soothe the man. When they both get on the horse and are quickly surrounded by the royal guards, the man seems to have submitted to his fate and hung his head in sadness. Thor gently wraps his arms around his new-found love, without a care for the dust and mud on his body.

Thor will make him happy, he knows he will: he has fallen in love with the raven-haired man at first sight.

The silence Thor was faced with when he met his new lover lasts, for the other won’t speak no matter how much time passes. He is quiet and reserved at first, but even when he begins to warm up to Thor's affections, he stays completely silent.

Thor doesn't know anything about the man, not even his name or where he comes from. None of this lessens the love he feels, however, and he makes sure to show it whenever he can. He is gentle and careful with his lover, learns to read his face and his gestures, to understand him even without words. Even when they lay together at night, they don't need to speak to understand each other.

They cling onto each other every night on the king’s bed. With each thrust, Thor promises in his lover’s ears his everlasting passion and fidelity. Loki never returns those words; he uses his soft fingertips to silence Thor before rewarding the young king’s devotion with his lips.

One morning when he wakes up, Thor finds a small piece of paper next to his bed. He curiously takes and unfolds it, revealing a single word on it, written in a delicate and beautiful way.

Loki.

It might be just an insignificant information to most. After all, one’s power in court comes from the royal favours, not one’s identity. Nevertheless, the king is overjoyed with the new knowledge given to him. It is a statement of Loki’s trust and fidelity to him, as Thor had confided his own name to Loki during their first night together: his feelings are finally returned.

That day, the court is shaken by the turmoil caused by the hot-handed king: King Thor rushes into his parents’ chamber and proudly declares his decision to marry Loki, the nobody he found in the woods. King Odin nearly strips Thor of his throne, but the stubborn king insists on keeping Loki as his companion in return for his lifelong devotion to his country. Powerless, his parents can only agree to the match and give their blessing to the oblivious Loki, who is brought in minutes later.

Despite the clear disapproval of his parents, Thor couldn't be happier with his decision. Their wedding is a spectacle like no other, where both Thor and Loki are adorned with the finest robes and most exquisite jewellery and when they dance for the first time as husbands, all eyes are on them.

Neither Thor's mother nor father is particularly pleased with his decision to marry someone like Loki, but Thor doesn't think about them when he looks into his husband's eyes. He is delighted and believes that nothing could destroy their happiness.

That night, Thor vows his love and fidelity to Loki once more, underlining every word with a kiss to make it more meaningful. He wishes for nothing more than to hear his lover return those words to him, but the silence is a price he is willing to pay as long as he has Loki.

--------

During the next five years, Loki has proven himself to be an equally capable ruler despite his low upbringing and silence. He has secured a team of loyal servants who carry out his orders and makes sure to serve and protect the king at all costs. Unknown to most, Thor has even gifted his consort a little apothecary close to their chambers when the king discovered Loki’s talents for potion making and medicine.

The king and his consort remain in love in spite of one major flaw: they remain childless.

Loki seems apologetic for his inability to conceive, but Thor shrugs it off as nothing. He knows better than to place too much demand on his beloved, especially when Loki’s anxiety cannot be voiced to anyone. Even Queen Frigga, who has grown fond of Loki in the last few years, cannot get a word out of him.

However, there is something that truly bothers Thor throughout the years: he has noticed his consort leaving the palace during the cold, early mornings, at least once a week. One time, he could not suppress his curiosity and peeped out of the window, only to see Loki riding into the dark forest in his dark emerald cloak.

What is Loki doing out there, in such an early hour?

Thor's concern only grows as time goes by until he eventually sends one of his warriors to follow Loki. He needs to know what could possibly bring his lover to leave for hours and never bringing it up in any way, even if it's something that doesn't show a great deal of trust.

Two weeks pass before he finally gets news of Loki's whereabouts and they only manage to deepen his worries. Thor listens carefully to what he's been told, but he cannot make much sense of it or believe it at first. The one who has been following his consort speaks of monsters Loki is involved with, of a giant wolf and a giant snake that seemed to follow Loki's command despite being big enough to eat him alive.

Thor can see the fear in his warrior’s eyes, can almost hear the unspoken accusations against his consort, but he doesn't want to hear them. He sends the man away with the promise to not tell another soul of his discoveries, but as soon as he's alone again his confidence and strength crumble. This is not what he expected, which was simply that Loki might be unfaithful to him, and there's nothing he can do about it, without risking Loki's anger or worse.

The brewing distrust leaves Thor awake throughout the night, and he stays so to hear Loki departing from their warm bed and away from their room. Hours later, he hears the door unlocked and soon his bed is filled with another body. Loki is ice cold and smells of leaves and wet earth, as he snuggles close to Thor for warmth, the king’s heart turns cold when he detects the faint scent of blood.

Is his love injured?

When he sees Loki moving around in court the next day, he knows all is well. That, however, does not comfort him at all and plunges him into a deeper depression.

Two nights later, Thor is ready. After Loki has left the room, once again, in his winter cloak, Thor throws on his and signals the Warriors Three, his best friends since childhood, to accompany him as they make their way silently after Loki.

Thor has expected anything, a secret lover, a friend Loki unwillingly abandoned years ago and even a murder scene his husband is trying to hide, but nothing can prepare him for the sight in front of him.

Loki’s horse leads the group to a rural graveyard deep inside the forest. There, their faces go pale at the sight of misshapen creatures feasting on the corpses newly dug up from their graves. Those monsters sneer at Loki’s entry, but they can do nothing to harm the living. Sulking, the eyeless corpses can only continue to tear off chunks and chunks of rotting meat from their latest victims and lick the stinking blood off their hollow mouths.

Instead of backing away from the horror, Loki’s pale face looks determined as he makes his way to a new grave. His slender fingers grasp hold of the tools he has brought along and the consort starts digging up the body inside.

“My God!” Fandral whispers as Volstagg can no longer hold the content of his stomach in. Thor stares at the scene, his face as white as a ghost.

The king and his warriors become the silent witnesses to the horror unfolding in front of them: the consort, no longer gentle, uses his knife to slice open the hand of the newly unearthed body. The dark and foul liquid starts running down the grey skin, into the bottle which Loki has tightly pressed against the flesh. The stench of decomposition and blood fills the air but does nothing to unsettle the raven-haired man kneeling next to the grave.

Sighing, Thor quickly wipes away the tears cooling on his cheeks. He gestures to his companions, and with Fandral and Hogun supporting a fainting Volstagg, they depart into the darkness.

The Warriors Three remain silent throughout the way back, afraid that any word would further shatter their king’s bleeding heart.

When they arrive at the castle, Thor doesn't look at his friends. With his head bowed and his shoulders hanging low, he simply asks them to keep silent about what they have just seen, before retreating to his chambers alone.

During the rest of the day, Thor barely speaks a word. Loki comes back later than usual, smelling of death and blood, but this time he finds the bed he shares with the king empty. Thor is nowhere to be seen, only in the evening, he returns, now as quiet as Loki is himself. He has spent the day wandering the castle grounds, trying to find a reason behind his consort's behaviour that doesn't indicate foul play.

According to the maids, Loki shuts himself in his apothecary all day. When Thor is drinking himself to unconsciousness in the tavern, Loki does not even leave that chamber. The servants seem to be trapped in a circle of terror, as more and more reported smelling stench beyond human comprehension outside the doors.

The night after his gruesome discovery is the first night since their marriage where Thor doesn't search for Loki's touch and warmth. Loki doesn't try to convince him, simply accepts the king's rejection and that hurts Thor even more than what he saw in the morning. He doesn't know what to make of it, if this is the beginning of the end or if there is a reasonable explanation. All he knows is that his love is hiding something dark from him, something that cannot end well.

In the morning when Thor wakes up, Loki is gone already. This time, however, Thor doesn't follow him and he doesn't send anyone after him either. Instead, he just lays in their bed, alone and with a tightening ache in his chest.

Thor will never admit this, but deep inside, he wants Loki to never return. Even if Loki is involved with one of the most gruesome plots one can imagine, Thor never wishes to condemn his husband and he would happily let this be the final chance for his escape.

In the morning, he shall wake up a king.

-------

Fandral, ever the observant spy, comes to Thor’s room with piles of evidence against the king consort. The crushed plants, which were obviously boiled beforehand, were retrieved by Fandral’s people in the early morning.

“Datura, my King, a very effective poison that can close one’s throat within minutes of consumption. I believe the usage of blood is to enhance the potency of such poison. I have consulted the royal physician, and she confirmed with her years of experience that she had no knowledge on this… unconventional medicine.”

Seeing Thor’s defeated look, Fandral quietly whispers, “I believe the consort has plotted to dispose of you by slipping the poison into your drinks on a regular basis.”

Before the guards storm into Loki’s apothecary, Thor has summed up his courage and visited his beloved one last time.

Inside, he finds his husband sitting before his desk with a gentle smile on his face. He seems to glow with joy, despite having stains on his clothes and surrounded by a foul smell.

Loki turns to greet Thor with a smile, which quickly diminishes when he sees Thor’s stony gaze.

“I have loved you, Loki, and I have always spent my life dreaming about our future,” Thor speaks in a solemn voice.

Loki stands up quickly, his eyes widen in shock and disbelief.

“But I see now that you are not what you have pretended to be. You have betrayed my trust and abused my love. You’ve condemned our country into a state of horror with your witchcraft, and as the King, I can no longer allow that.”

Before Loki can step closer to explain, the doors fly wide open and the consort is harshly dragged back by a number of guards.

“No harm shall befall my consort. Witch or not, he is to die a dignified and painless death. Take him away,” Thor commands quietly, turning his head away from Loki’s pleading eyes.

Thor is heartbroken by this turn of events, but he cannot endanger his people, no matter how much he loves Loki. In the morning it will be over, Loki's life will be over and his kingdom will be safe again. Thor tries to hold onto this as much as he can, knowing he's doing the right thing, but it does nothing to ease his own pain. If only Loki had stayed away, he would at least live, even if they would be separated.

When he finally stands alone in the apothecary, the king is numb from the sheer amount of guilt and grief he feels. He had loved Loki from the very first moment, trusted him enough to never ask questions or demand answers, and this is how it will all end.

With a sigh, Thor's gaze lingers on the desk Loki had sat on before he was dragged away and he notices the flask on it. He takes it carefully, turning it between his fingers. Loki had been so excited earlier, more than Thor had ever seen before. It makes all of what will follow so much worse, but something in his heart tells him that it has to do with this flask. Whatever it might be worth, he knows where it belongs.

Thor's heart is heavy when he walks down the stairs to the dungeon and approaches the cell his beloved consort will spend the remaining few hours of his life in. The second he steps inside Loki is on his feet, but Thor stops him by holding up a hand before he can come close enough to touch him.

“I’m sorry it has to end like this, Loki. All I ever wanted was your happiness, I wish this would have been enough for you.” Thor doesn't look at Loki as he speaks, he can't bear the sadness and fear in those beautiful emerald eyes that he loves so dearly. “I found this on your desk and I think you should have it. If it is what I believe it to be, you should use it to end things before the sun rises.”

Thor hands Loki the flask and turns around, preparing to leave. There are so many things he wants to say and so many answers he wishes he had, but nothing will make a difference anymore now, he knows that. Loki quickly clutches the flask close to his chest, as tears run down his face.

“I love you, Loki,” Thor says quietly, fighting to hold back his own tears. “I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. If only there was another way... maybe I shouldn’t have brought you here when everything was doomed from the moment I laid eyes on you.“

Before he leaves the room, Thor asks, “Can you let me hear your voice?”

He is met with silence. It's answer enough.

---------

When Thor wakes up the next day, his eyes swollen, he is ready to leave the room and face the news of his consort’s untimely death. He is disappointed, however, when Fandral comes up to tell him the location of the execution has been picked: it would be near the forest, away from the curious eyes of the people.

Having ridden all the way to the site, Thor gets off his horse and sees his consort taken off from a plain carriage. Dressed in white, Loki’s face is pale while his hands are clutching tightly onto the bottle. When his eyes meet Thor’s, the raven-haired man gives him a soft smile before looking into the forest; everything seems to remind Thor of the day he rescued his beloved from the wilderness.

“Consort Loki, you are accused of treason and hereby condemned to be burned at the stake. Do you wish to make any confession?” the judge asks, earning a few laughs from the courtiers.

Loki does not respond to the question, his eyes seem fixated at the woods. A guard approaches him to take away the flask, only to be stopped by Thor on the spectator’s stand.

“Leave him. He shall have peace.” Thor orders. Silently, he passes a tiny packet to Fandral.

“Gunpowder.” He whispers and Fandral nods.

“Before we will carry out your punishment, do you have any last words?” the judge asks, but this time there is no laughter. Thor watches Loki closely, waiting for something, anything, just a single word, but his consort stays as silent as he has always been. The men slowly guide him onto the scaffold, where a pile of wood and a stake were prepared beforehand.

The judge looks over at the king, waiting for him to give the final signal. Thor wants to stop this madness, pull Loki away from the stake and take back all that happened, but it's impossible and he knows it. So, dooming the man he loves with all his heart, he nods and waves his hand. The torch is lightened and as the judge moves closer to the wood, Thor can feel the tears sting in his eyes.

The wood starts catching fire and everyone's eyes are on Loki, whose calm expression doesn't falter as he keeps looking away from them, into the forest.

Suddenly, the ground shakes beneath them, almost throwing Thor off his feet had Fandral not grabbed his arm. A smile creeps onto Loki's lips when a dangerous, howling growl fills the air and the forest starts moving.

They all back away, except Thor who can't take his eyes off of Loki and his beautiful, blissful face. The flames burn high now, he can feel the heat even from where he stands, but they don't seem to bother Loki at all.

Then, a gigantic black beast emerged from the forest, its paws almost as big as a man, followed by a snake the size of a river. The creatures create panic between the guards, who turn around fleeing the scene with the judge. Only Thor and Fandral remain and witness the events that follow.

“LOKI!” Thor shouts as he sees the two creatures scurry towards his beloved, their steps earthquakes and their breaths hot wind.

Just as Thor turns away in agony, accepting his consort’s gruesome death but avoiding the spectacle with his cowardice, he hears nothing but silence.

“My King,” Fandral calls his name and Thor turns around to behold a sight he has never anticipated: the serpent and its companion lying in submission to the man clad in white on the scaffold.

With his eyes glistening with tears and unspeakable joy, Loki looks at Thor before raising his flask in the air. Determined, he throws the bottle to the ground.

With the sound of shattered glass, the scene is quickly shrouded in green smoke.

Fandral knocks Thor to the ground, covering his sovereign's body with his as the king howls the name of his beloved.

“Mama!” When Thor can lift his head again, he hears the sound of children calling for their parent.

“Mercy! Thor, my King!” a stranger’s voice can be heard from a distance, and as the smoke clears away, the king can faintly make out the shape of Loki, now holding onto two small figures in his arms.

With most of his cowardly servants having fled the site, Thor is left navigating his way through the smoke, towards the man who is once again kneeling before him.

“My king,” Loki says quietly, raising his head when Thor comes closer. The two figures he holds cling to him desperately, sobbing against his chest, but right now, Loki only looks at Thor, who is rendered completely speechless by what just happened.

He sinks to his knees in front of his consort, disbelief and confusion written all over his face.

“How is this possible?” Thor finally asks, his voice no more than a faint whisper. “What have you done?”

“They are mine, Thor. I know you have every right to be disappointed in me, but I am not the man you have always imagined me to be.” As Loki speaks, one of the children looks up at Thor in curiosity. Judging from his emerald eyes, Thor knows the boy was the serpent that had terrified so many. Now, he is safely hidden away in his mother’s arms and as harmless as a rabbit.

“Who is their father?” Thor asks, emotionless as he struggles to digest the information given to him.

“A man that my father forced me to marry when I was 15, an old sorcerer. He did not like me and when I ran away with the boys, his men caught me and he laid a curse on our children: they were turned into monsters that could only be brought back to their real forms with a potion created with the foulest matters found on earth. My silence was necessary to ensure they would not remain such creatures eternally, it was a price I had to pay for speaking against my elderly husband and plotting to leave him.” Loki speaks softly, fearing a word would trigger Thor into repeating the same cruelty inflicted on him years ago, “I was trying to hide them when you found me in the forest, and I have been yours ever since, but I am still their mother.”

“I would do the same again for my children, even if that meant going through the same horror and pain. The only regret I have is to have hurt you, and I wish I had never been found and loved by you.”

Loki clutches his children tighter to his body, avoiding Thor’s gaze.

It takes a minute or two before the silence is broken when Thor kneels down and asks one of the boys, “What’s your name, little one?”

“Fenrir, sir.” The little boy timidly replies, a stark contrast with the howls he gave minutes before.

Thor smiles before he asks, “What about your brother?”

“I am Jörmungandr!” The other boy quickly introduces himself before Fenrir can take away his chance of gaining the man’s attention.

Fenrir gets a hold of Thor's shirt, tucking on it carefully until the man looks at him again.

“Did we scare you?” He asks, his concern and innocence warming something inside Thor's chest. He smiles as the boy and gently runs a hand through his hair.

“I think you scared my men a lot,” he says amused, watching the child's eyes widen.

“Oh dear!” The boy exclaims, tears shimmering in his eyes. “We didn't mean to, right, mama? We just wanted to… to…”

“I know, dear,” Thor says softly and looks up at Loki, who looks so utterly embarrassed and scared that he seems almost like a stranger. “You wanted to protect your mother, didn't you?”

Fenrir nods and cuddles back into Loki's embrace, his tiny arms holding onto him tightly.

“Will you ever forgive me for wronging you like this, Loki?” Thor asks, his voice thick with guilt and shame. “For believing you were plotting to kill me when all you wanted was to protect your children?”

Loki looks at Thor with teary eyes, the corners of his lips jerking into a sad smile.

“I'm the one who has to ask for forgiveness,” he says quietly as a stray tear rolls down his cheek. “All this time I let you believe I was something I am not. I was neither pure nor submissive. I used you, you were right, but not because I didn't love you. I do and I always did, but I decided to stay for the wrong reasons, not for you, but for my own advantage. Can you forgive me for that? For not telling you the truth?”

“Loki…” Thor reaches out with his hand, carefully brushing his fingers over Loki's pale cheek. “There is nothing you have done I need to forgive, I promise. I thought I lost you forever, that I would be the one taking away your life… how could I ever blame you for not trusting me with the truth? You saw what I was ready to do, you had every right to not tell me.”

“Mama?” Fenrir suddenly says, his tiny voice still so unfamiliar to Thor's ears that it startles him for a moment. “Are you sad?”

“Of course not, dear,” Loki sniffs and wipes his eyes dry before giving his son a gentle smile.

“But you are crying…”

“Because I'm happy!” Loki half-laughs, half-cries and hugs the little boy tightly. “It will all be good now, right, Thor?”

Thor smiles at the sound of his name coming from Loki and nods with a smile. He leans forward and presses a tender kiss on the raven-haired man's lips, one that almost drives tears into his eyes again.

“No more tears now,” he says softly, fingers tracing over Loki's cheek. “It's all good now.

Now, with everything settled, Thor stands up before he shouts,

“Fandral, for God’s sake, bring me my horse and yours! Don’t fail me with your undying fidelity.” Fandral, who finally snaps out of his trance, runs to whistle for the horses.

Smiling, Thor unclasps the bright red cloak to cover Loki, who shivers in the cold. Unlike last time, his cloak is now also covering one of the little boys as Thor carries the other in his arms, who holds onto him as he observes his surroundings curiously.

They are going home.

------

That evening, Thor calmly explains what had happened during the day to his parents before introducing their step-grandchildren to the couple. Loki, still tired and weak from the past few days, is resting when Odin and Frigga step down from their seats to talk to the children.

When Thor has tucked the two excited boys into bed, with Fenrir half asleep and Jörmungandr still animated, he returns to his chamber and finds his beloved in bed.

Thor lies down next to his husband, as the latter quickly snuggles to his embrace.

“You should rest, my love, you are still recovering from today.” Thor quietly kisses Loki’s brows, frowning when his consort shakes his head.

“Make me yours, Thor.” he pleads, as he slowly pulls his chemise up and reveals his naked form beneath. “I can finally tell you my promises.”

There is something special about this night. It almost feels like their first time, with every kiss and every touch earning another beautiful sound from Thor's beloved consort, who finally escaped his forced silence. Thor always imagined how it would be like this, but the reality is far better than his dreams and imagination could ever be.

Loki's whispers and hushs words of adoration, devotion and need, however, are what truly turn this time into an almost sacred experience. They wash over Thor like an ocean, drowning him in his deep and intense love for Loki that is finally returned in every possible way. Loki is his, after everything, he is completely his, and Thor can't imagine anything more perfect.

------

Loki has long accepted that his children would never be introduced in the public since it would significantly affect the reputation of the royal family. Nevertheless, Thor never treats the two boys as anything other than his sons. He dotes on the two, teaching them swordfights and spending his leisure polishing new wooden swords for them to play with. He even takes them to the library and employs a group of tutors to educate the two.

Loki is glad to see the love Thor has showered upon his sons, especially when he himself is not in a condition to thoroughly care for them.

After all, he is lying in bed with the future heir in his belly.

The breaking of the spell seemed to have freed his body from years of barrenness. Two months after their reconciliation, Loki started to suffer morning sickness and the doctor confirmed the child was likely conceived on that fateful night when their hearts had become one again.

Thor can never stop smiling whenever he beholds Loki in this state, protected and loved while growing their child.

A child of their own.

“What would happen if it was a girl?” Loki asks one night when Thor approaches the bed and shrugs off his robe.

“Then we would have a Queen for Asgard, plain and simple,” Thor replies without pondering on the matter.

Hela was born on a winter’s night, with her eyes sharing Thor’s ocean blue shade and her hair inheriting her mother’s raven colour. She is a beautiful baby, nested in the arms of Queen Frigga who happily presents her to Fenrir and Jörmungandr as their sister.

One day, the two boys would become their sister's knights, protecting the Queen and their kingdom alike. They are both proud and excited after the little girl's birth, vowing at her crib that they will never let any harm come to her and neither Thor nor Loki could be happier when they hear those words.

Since the day the two have crossed each other’s path, they are meant to be together: nothing would be able to tear them apart anymore.

Past Imperfect 2019 Letter

Dear creator,

Thank you for taking your time to check my requests. I know my requests can sound a bit tricky, but please don’t be discouraged. I wish you will have good time writing first and foremost!

My AO3 is Tren, if you wish to check it out.

Likes: comedy, casefics, canon compliants, AUs, time loops, bodyswaps, roleswaps, “being hoisted by your own petard” plotlines, snark, pettiness, rivals, enemies to friends to lovers, violence, friendships and character bonding,

DNW: explicit sex, A/B/O, mpreg, rape depicted as positive (so no “it’s okay, because the other person enjoyed it/it was what they truly wanted”), trans headcanons, soulmate AUs, stories ending with surrender to fate/destiny, fourth wall breaking in canons where that doesn’t occur, character has cancer or other real life terminal disease AU, word “queerplatonic”.

Also, I included what ships I’m okay with in each fandom. Please do not include any ships that aren’t canon and I have not allowed in those sections (if you feel really strongly about a ship I haven’t mentioned, you can always ask through mods just in case).

Additionally, while I almost never request fanart as possible medium, because I prefer my main gift to be fic, I would be very okay with receiving fanart treats. On another note, feel free to use my old letters if you get your hands on them. I never stop being interested in fandoms, and if I requested something once I will still want it in the future.

REQUESTS

A general note on time travel: feel free to get bloody if you want. Aside from Revue Starlight which isn’t a violent show by nature, I don’t mind characters dying and getting hurt during the attempts to change the timeline. I also don’t mind characters not succeeding in their attempted goals, as long as the fic doesn’t have a complete downer ending. I’d rather the heroes won at the end of the day, but I don’t mind if you make it a bitter victory. Good endings are, of course, fine too. I also love the trope where the attempt to change the events through time travel results in the canon timeline.

TALES OF SYMPHONIA

Lloyd Irving, Lloyd Irving & Kratos Aurion

This party gets so many things wrong on their journey to save the world that almost half of it is in ruins when they are done saving it. Needlessly to say I think there is a whole lot that our party may want to fix using time travel.

I'm partial to the idea of time traveller Lloyd because he would be so terrible at it. He's just so earnest he would accidentally reveal he has a whole lot of knowledge he shouldn't possess. Give me future Lloyd who returns to the body of his younger self who has only just started on his journey of regeneration and who keeps struggling not to call Kratos dad. Or future Lloyd returning to the past with his own body, who is desperately trying to stay incognito and fix the timeline rather than accidentally breaking it even more (bonus points if future Genis and Yuan have some sort of magical connection with him and are constantly screaming at him about what he should and shouldn't do). I would also love future Lloyd pretending before the party that he is just a mysterious swordsman by emulating Kratos.

I'm also fine with other characters travelling in time, I just don't have concrete prompts for them. But you are free to have fun with them. I'd rather the Kharlan Heroes weren't the ones time travelling since their charm is in the fact that they are absolute dumbasses who keep failing to account for the consequences of their actions (aside from Kratos who spends way too much time being apathetic, only to regret absolutely everything when he does manage to pull himself out of his depression), but if you have some good ideas for how they can fail even more by time travelling I won't mind (maybe they can accidentally get into way of some other time travelling characters). I just want them to keep being ancient disasters. If they suddenly became competent enough to fix the timeline it would feel weird. Unless it's Martel who somehow time traveled into the future and proceeds to fix everything by slapping all other Kharlan Heroes and telling them they are idiots.

As for how much the timeline is fixed, I would prefer for Yggdrassil to get defeated and the worlds to be merged at the end, but if the characters' efforts don't amount much to actually making things better than the original timeline, I won't mind. You are even free to make them fail even more. Honestly, stopping Kratos from gallivanting into space is the only fix-it that actually matters to me and I would love if it gets included into the story.

Also, you are free to go for some darker moments with Lloyd time travelling back to when his mom died and trying to save her, but failing to do so.

As for the ships, I'm fine with: Lloyd/Genis, Genis/Presea, Lloyd/Genis/Presea, Zelos/Colette, Colette/Sheena, Zelos/Colette/Sheena, Anna/Kratos, Yuan/Martel, Kratos/Yuan (as "useless widowers who only have each other left" ship). Please don't include any ships not listed here, even if they are 2/3 of a threesome.

Yes, I really am okay with any characters from this show. I love all girls in this theater school, so I'd rather you focused on the ones you enjoy the most, dear author. I admit I just want more shenanigans around Banana's time loop. Give me all more or less successful attempts to break out of it. Maybe Maya becomes aware of the time loop and starts to view Nana as a rival much to Claudine's frustration. Or Kaoruko's increasing frustration with the fact that she's the only one who remembers time loops other than Nana finally spurs her to put effort into bettering herself. Or maybe Giraffee's POV as it gets increasingly frustrated with the repeating performances and tries different indirect approaches in hopes of stopping Nana. Feel free to use any other idea you have, I'm just interested to see your ideas!

I'm playing Re-live game so you are free to borrow characters and ideas from it. Maybe rather than Hikari it's some other stage girl that comes to Seisho and gets caught in the time loop? Or one of the characters travels into the future and they end up having three days to learn for their role, because they don't share memories with their future self.

You are free to ship any girls from the anime as you like. My only request would be that if you decide to borrow Michiru from Re-Live that she will not be shipped with anyone.

LORD EL-MELLOI CASE FILES

I’ve watched anime and read the first volume of the novel. I also know way too many other Fate properties if you want to use them or the characters from them.

Waver Velvet, Gray

This canon is perfect for all sorts of magic induced time travel shenanigans be it time loops or time travels. I would love for Waver and others to stumble into some sort of time distortion and have to figure out how to escape out of it.

I requested Waver and Gray, because I feel like they would be the most interesting characters to be involved in time travel shenanigans, but if you want, I also wouldn't be opposed to Flat, Reines or Callum in that role. You may make the situation as serious or as mundane as you wish. This fandom is great for all kinds of stories. Whether it be Gray caught up in a time loop that always ends up with Waver ending miserable and trying to change that, or Waver having to watch death of people important to him.

The loop could be caused by magical accident or be a ploy aimed to Reines faction. Or maybe Flat created a time loop because he couldn't finish his homework on time. Or someone from Waver's class brought a cursed artifact to the class and now they need to figure out who it was. The possibilities are endless. I also think that a character from the future using magecraft to communicate with those in the past could work really well here.

If you know Zero, then I would also be very much up for Gray travelling back in time to see the fourth Holy Grail war. Whether she changes anything, or if she remains a bystander by accident or choice isn't really important to me. I'm fine with both. Though I think it would be really sweet if she got to comfort Waver after Iskander's death.

I love this fandom for all the gen relationships, so I would love if you went in that direction. When it comes to pairings I would be okay with Waver/Melvin or Reines/Gray, but don't feel forced to write them in.

MY HERO ACADEMIA

I'm reading the chapters as they come out, you are free to incorporate any new developments.

Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead, Uraraka Ochako, Tokoyami Fumikage

Unlike other canons I requested, for this one I have a very strong preference for one of the characters I requested to be the time traveller. I love most of the cast, but this is one time I'm gonna play favourites.

This canon is great for characters going back in time to fix stuff with everybody having heroic motivations. How well their attempts go is up to you. Feel free to put the characters through some hell if you want.

Since I would enjoy similar scenarios for all characters I feel like it would be more helpful if I focused on the reason why I chose this specific characters:

- Uraraka - one of her biggest strengths is her ability to read and influence others. It would be interesting to see her change the events using her talents. She's not very powerful and charismatic compared to some of her classmates, but she has plenty of tricks of her own to use instead. Also, she has determination to spare.

- Tokoyami - I love him and Dark Shadow. It would be very interesting to see how the loyal and hard working Fumikage deals with suddenly being thrown into the past. He would surely want to help his friends, but at the same time he seems to believe in fate to some extent. How would he be able to reconcile those two drives?

- Aizawa - on the one hand as a teacher he can do much more, but on the other one now he has to save his thirty students from all the dangers lurking before them. Needlessly to say, it's no easy task to keep all the problem children of class 1A safe. He's an experienced hero, so it would be interesting to see how he uses his knowledge and skills to overcome the obstacles in his way.

For the pairings I enjoy Bakugou/Uraraka, Todoroki/Deku and Aizawa/Hizashi. I don't have strong shipping preference for Tokoyami, but I would be okay with shipping him with Deku. Feel free to ask through mods if you feel strongly about shipping him with someone. As far as Uraraka's feelings for Deku are concerned I'm okay with her crush being mentioned, but I'd rather it wasn't the focus and definitely not an endgame. I like the idea of the two of them dating for some time, but realizing it isn't working for them and staying friends instead or a scenario where Uraraka never conveys her feelings and they sizzle out through years.

how about sheith and a combo of 38+27 :)))

27. “I’m pregnant.” + 38. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

Sheith, Mpreg, ABOish

Keith looks down at the remains of Haggar’s beast, giant slabs of metal scattered around the hanger like a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. There’s a certain buzz in everyone, ranging from anticipated fear of what’s to come to intense curiosity from the engineers. Keith’s been feeling it too, but not from himself. It’s second-hand for him, watching his peers simmer on their nerves. But there’s excitement too from both sides as species from all over the galaxy mingle with humans and their customs. Keith himself finds it hard to interject with the excitement but this time around he thinks it has more to do with his recovering from his spectacular crash back into the atmosphere that put him in the hospital for several weeks. He’s only been out of the hospital for three weeks now but he can’t shake the feeling of something growing. It isn’t stagnant the way he sensed the blue lion, it was steady, linear in its growth and Keith didn’t know how to put it into words. He’s been wanting to talk to Shiro about it, hoping he could offer some soothing advice, but as Keith wanders around the Garrison, having already checked the Atlas, the man is nowhere to be found.

He huffs out a sigh and heads out of the viewing area of the hanger. He’s running out of options for where Shiro could be. All the things Shiro’s been raving about, the new Atlas quarters, the engineering room, the hanger for the MFE jets, the gym, the left overs from the beast, Keith’s checked all of them and he’s starting to wonder if he should just wait for the evening when they go to bed.

He wanders into the main building, the grey, open halls empty, and decides to head toward the commons area. Maybe Shiro actually took his advice and is taking a break for once. His thoughts come to a halt as he’s hit with a wave of dizziness. He clutches onto the wall for support as the room turns around him. Nausea starts to edge into his stomach and he throws his other hand over his mouth in some lame attempt to keep his food down. He’s able to get his bearings around him enough to see the restroom and dash towards it, throwing the door open and running into the first stall he sees. The retching’s not pretty, it’s painful, and he’s more lightheaded than before. Keith wipes the tears from his eyes and flushes the toilet. He stands on unstable legs hoping he can get to his room without incident and without someone trying to stop him. The dizziness, the nausea, and the vomiting that’s been a common presence since his release is starting to get old and he wonders if his concussion did more damage than he thought.

Keith hears the bathroom door open and he curses to himself. He knows he looks like shit and if anyone sees him like this it won’t stay secret for long. He doesn’t want to be the topic of the gossip mill again. He just got everyone off his back about him and Shiro. He makes a mental plan of how he’s going to get back to his room, but right as he opens the stall another dizzy spell overcomes him.

“Oh,” Keith says, surprised by the sudden onslaught of vertigo, and even more surprised by Shiro’s shocked and worried face standing in front of him.

“Keith?” is all Keith hears before Shiro’s expression swirls into a kaleidoscope of colorful dots then goes black.

Keith doesn’t know how long he’s out for, but when he comes to he’s in the Garrison’s hospital bed with Shiro by his side, hand being held in Shiro’s larger one.

“Keith-”

“I’m fine.” Keith cuts him off before Shiro can voice his concern.

“Keith.” It’s only one word but it’s enough to feel chastised.

A sad smile plays on Shiro’s lips. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.” His joke doesn’t reach his eyes and Keith doesn’t laugh either.

Shiro starts again. “I heard you were looking for me.”

“Please don’t apologize,” Keith pleads, already seeing the apology in the crease of Shiro’s brow. Shiro sighs heavily.

“Can I at least get you some water?” Shiro asks, his hold on Keith’s hand tightening.

Keith squeezes the flesh hand back in return and nods his head.

Shiro smiles, warm and comforting. “I’ll be right back.” He leaves Keith with a kiss on the forehead and the hum of the machines around him. Not even twenty seconds after Shiro leaves the room the doctor comes in.

“I heard you were up, Mr. Kogane. I’m Doctor Holland,” he says pleasantly enough, shutting the door behind him and pulling up a chair on the opposite side where Shiro had been sitting. Keith feels slightly nervous as Dr. Holland sits down with his clipboard. Shouldn’t he just release Keith and tell him to get rest?

“We did another scan of your head and took some blood after we got an approval from Captain Shirogane. You’re head is healing as it should and there are no problems there.” He clears his throat. “Your blood test, on the other hand had some…anomalies.”

“Anomalies?” Keith asks, tone hard.

Dr. Holland adjusts his glasses in a nervous movement. “Well, yes. Captain Shirogane explained your genetic make-up which does explain some things, but this still comes as a surprise.”

So his Garla genes are coming into play and putting him out of whack. But…

“What’s the anomaly?”

“Well, lets just say we’re glad we did the blood test before the CT scan,” Dr. Holland offers while saying nothing. Keith just stares.

“You’re pregnant. About 10 weeks along.”

Keith continues to stare, but for a different reason. ‘I’m pregnant?’ is on the tip of his tongue until he’s hit with the memory of being on the space whale with his mom, listening intently as she explained alpha, beta, and omega dynamics within the Galra. Apparently, as an omega, the week-long fevers and bouts of horniness throughout the year starting as a teen were the results of him having “heats” and capable of being fertile. He didn’t know how to process it at the time, embarrassment tamping down most questions that he had. But then he got back and everything with Shiro and Lotor went to shit and his problems suddenly didn’t seem as important. Getting Shiro back had been priority, and when he did any information about omegas and heats were gone and replaced with an unyielding need to love and be loved by one person. Keith was still healing from their vicious fight and Shiro was trying his best to piece his memories back together and feel like a person again. But they still managed to come together, finding some semblance of normalcy in each others bodies. One time turned into two, then two turned into too many times to count. It wasn’t just fucking, it was more than that, but it all started so fast he didn’t take the time to consider the consequences. They hadn’t been responsible.

He hadn’t been responsible.

“I’ll give you time to think it over,” Dr. Holland says, as if offering his condolences and makes to leave. As he walks through the door Shiro comes in, cup of water in hand. “Captain,” the doctor nods in greeting. Shiro gives a curt nod back then slows cautiously as he approaches Keith. He looks back toward the direction the doctor had been then at Keith.

Shiro sets the water by Keith’s bedside then sits down. Keith doesn’t reach for it.

“Should I be worried?” Shiro asks, voice small enough for Keith to almost feel bad that Shiro probably thinks he’s dying.

“Depends.”

“Depends?”

“I’m pregnant.”

Keith watches Shiro’s face as his worry slips into an small, awkward smile. “Uhh okay. I can’t tell if you’re trying to soften the blow or if you’re just making a joke for fun.”

Keith crosses his arms in an annoyed huff. “I know it sounds ridiculous, but I’m serious. It’s a Galra thing.” The smile drops from Shiro’s face and he’s left with an awe-struck, open mouth look instead. Keith’s explanation isn’t perfect, trying to recount the details his mom told him, but by the end of it Shiro seems to have grasped all the information, if not looking slightly sheepish.

“We really should’ve used protection,” Shiro laments.

“You couldn’t have know. And it’s not like there were just space condoms available.”

Shiro chuckles. “True.” They settle into a delicate silence, one that holds a lot of unanswered questions. Shiro seems to be contemplating. Keith can imagine him going over every strategic outcome of this and what to do. The knowledge of their current reality and the threats that loom don’t need to be spoken to be known.

“Not exactly the best time, I know,” Keith starts.

“It’s unexpected but we can figure something out.”

“We need Voltron, Shiro. If Haggar comes back with something bigger and worse than before, I-” Keith stops as he chokes on his own words. Being caught between the duty of leadership and the duty of an expecting parent is catching up with him, coming from both sides and unrelenting in their assault. Everything’s almost too much to process and he buries his face in his hands.

Shiro’s arms are around him in a second, sharing the space on his bed and holding him tightly.

“Keith, look at me.” Shiro’s voice carries over him and he brings his hands down from teary eyes. “Believe me when I say this. We will figure something out. No matter when Haggar comes, we will be ready to fight and we will have a plan figured out. We will make it so our child can grow up in a peaceful world. I’m sure of that.”

Keith stares up at Shiro’s face, fortitude present and strong as ever, and Keith can feel the tension easing out of his body. It’s not gone, he doesn’t know if it ever will be until Haggar is defeated, but he holds onto to every bit of hope he can. The future is unsure, but with the rest of the team, their allies, and Shiro he knows they’re in good hands.

Hi, I’m Megan, and I don’t know how to make things not emotional.

Thanks for the ask! Hope you enjoyed it, anon!

send me a pairing and a number and i’ll write you a drabble

Hello! Found your harry/draco fic recs from about a year ago and I want to say thanks for it! We like the same stuff (long novel length & tropes) and I absolutely enjoyed your added thoughts on them. I'm just starting out on the pair and it would've taken me longer to find and enjoy some of the fics you mentioned if you hadn't rec it (I tend to judge based on summary) so thank you for sharing them. Would you be interested in sharing more?

Boy would I love to! Glad you enjoyed my reccs and that our tastes seem to align! I’ll see if I can suggest some more that you (or others) haven’t read that will be to your enjoyment as well!

Unless otherwise mentioned, everything recommended here is Explicit or Mature rating and at least 20,000 words long. Just a few choice pieces I scooped up from my iBooks list.

A Hag, a Hex, a Tale of Redemption by aibidil - [A fuck-or-die fairytale in which Draco Malfoy lives a despicable and unapologetic life — that is, until he's cursed to die unless he can fall in love with and fuck Harry Potter.] My thoughts: I LOVE this. Love love love it. It was written for the H/D consent fest, which focused on fics where consent (explicitly given) was key, and it very much forms the core of this fic without being ‘preachy’ in any way. It’s all about how knowledge of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it plays into your ability to go into something with eyes wide open. The tone is delightfully crass and playful, and I loved the evolution of Harry and Draco’s relationship. I’m a sucker for fics that pick up with their relationship right where it left off in school: them wanting nothing to do with each other. How that evolves into friendship and then more-than-friendship, as Draco is on a deadline, is so much fun.

Headlights in the Snow by Saras_girl - [What’s big and purple and smells like tea? Harry is about to find out.] My thoughts: What’s a rec list without some Saras_girl? It took me a while to get around to this one because the summary is so weird, and I tend to put off or avoid fics where I don’t know what I’m getting into. For those of you like me who also like a little more meat in your summary, the gist is that Draco, since Hogwarts, has taken over from Ernie Prang as the driver of the Knight Bus, which Harry finds out after he and his friends drunkenly board one evening. Subsequently, he decides to spend his free time riding around on the Knight Bus, bothering Draco and becoming friends with the quirky riders who are frequent passengers. It’s terribly witty, lots of fun, and super sweet without being saccharine.

In Our Blood by secretsalex - [Draco is an accomplished pure-blood curse breaker, and Harry is tasked with accompanying him on his latest job—cleaning up the Van Boer mansion, which has been under a devastating fertility curse for seven generations.] My thoughts: First off, know that this is MPREG. ...Are you still with me? I won’t blame you if you’re not; I’m decidedly not a fan of the trope. I’m just not big on pregnancy fic in general, or kidfic really (at least with this pairing). But I decided to give this one a go for reasons I don’t recall, and it...surprised me! The porn is SUPER spicy hot, for one, so it’s got that going for it (in large part because of the curse spoken of in the summary), and also because it gets quite dark along the way (so make note of that before diving in, though it has a happy ending), which is a sure-fire way to intrigue me, especially since I find so many mpreg fics to be sickeningly saccharine and OOC. Be aware that there IS discussion of abortion in this fic, so if that is a sensitive topic for you, consider skipping this recommendation.

In Pieces by dysonrules - [Harry returns to Hogwarts as the new DADA instructor, only to find his teaching efforts thwarted by a very familiar ghost.] My thoughts: So many parts of this fic were achingly bittersweet, as Draco is very much a ghost, and he and Harry very much fall in love, and that can’t possibly end well. But there is a happy ending to this, I assure you, and the author has fun with the notion of sex with a ghost.

Currency by blythely, Circe_Tigana - [Harry wasn't at school any more, nor was he fifteen. He was a successful merchant banker with a flat to die for and an owl who loved him. And he wasn't going to get into a pissing match with a stick-fiddler who'd always driven him mental.] My thoughts: I’ll be honest, I can take or leave Harry’s occupation. I’m not quite sure why he’s a banker lol. But the writing is so superb, I really don’t care! Skill with the craft can make me buy anything, lol. And Draco as a wandmaker is far more interesting, and plays a huge part in the story, so that’s fine by me! The gist is that Harry breaks his wand and needs to get it repaired; it can’t be repaired really, so Draco makes him a new one. Which somehow is really really sexy.

Balance, Imperfect by bixgirl1 - [When Harry sustains an injury in the line of work, he no longer knows how to navigate the life he loved, and finds help and solace from the most unexpected source.] My thoughts: In this fic, Harry loses a leg and must be fitted with a magical prosthesis. He is angry and depressed and living a decidedly unhealthy life now that he feels he’s lost his purpose. Lots of tough love and clinical attention from Healer Draco, which is just what he needs since he’s insistent on being a complete ass to his friends. There ARE consent issues concerning a doctor-patient relationship, but those are addressed and dealt with, hopefully in a way that will satisfy readers. Just be aware that there’s a stretch where they’re engaged in a less-than-healthy relationship, and they both know it. A happy ending of course, though, because I’m not here for anything less :D

Okay, that’s enough for today! Hopefully there’s some gems in there you haven’t read, or needed reminding of!

As another note: the Harry/Draco 2018 Big Bang submissions will be going up in a couple of weeks, and you KNOW those will be long and porny as well, so I can’t wait to dive in 8D (and I don’t think it’s any secret one of them is my own piece.......though everything will be anonymous at first, so good luck guessing!)

sometimes i forget how the new fans don’t know certain things about the lore

like how tubbo claimed he was pregnant as an excuse to schlatt and he believed him

I mean in their defense I think the obscure/cursed lore post is arguably one of the worst ways to learn about it GDKSNDJDKKS but for reference: the mpregs are listed in continuity order (for example, by popular demand I added dream onto it and he is now listed first for occurring first to my knowledge)

#damn everyone didn’t immediately follow like 15000 analysis blogs that poured over every detail of the past lore?#thus learning what you WERENT there for by osmosis???? couldn’t be me 😔 HDKSNS #mcyt #dream smp #answered #emo and confused #og post

Cursed fandom knowledge I still go ‘what the fuck’ about to this day even though I’ve known it for a couple years now;

The first Mpreg fic was in a zine, that’s how old it is, and it was a Star Wars zine, and the character was Han Solo, and this baby was like a force baby I’m pretty sure?? Cause he was with Leia, not anyone else. And then there’s a sequel fic, where she gets pregnant and they decide that instead the baby would be ‘transferred’ to him and he would have their baby as well, so she can continue her political stuff.

Sadly, I really wanna know how the writing is lol.

#very much so

Hartwin fic recs (2/?)

[Long post]

These are lovingly saved in my laptop's Kindle and I love them dearly. It's umbrellas this time, glasses if I made part 3.

Authors' tagged tropes are included and I tried my best not to include spoilers. As usual my comments are in italics.

☂️ Sparking - LapisLazuli. E, 2k. Traped in a closet trope.

“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while,” Harry whispers, calm as you please, as if Eggsy’s face isn’t pressed directly into the little hollow between his neck and his shoulder, as if Eggsy isn’t drowning in the fucking scent of his cologne, as if the fabric of his bespoke suit isn’t caressing Eggsy’s cheek like a goddamn lover.

☂️ Red Striped Ties - violentcheese. G, 1k. Red string of fate AU.

"Eggsy is the ragamuffin kid who refuses to stop hanging the Kingsman Tailor shop because he has a crush on Harry Hart, the owner."

Eggsy follows his string patiently. Harry ignores his.

☂️ You Get Up With Fleas - evil_brainmate. T, 74k. Corgi/prince!Eggsy. My first time prompting someone (with my old url) and the result is so much more than I expected.

Eggsy is a fairy prince, trapped in the human world and cursed to transform each day into a corgi. Harry Hart is a gentleman spy, and mortal, who picks him up thinking he's a stray. The two of them must work together to find a way to break the curse.

☂️ Paint With all the Colours of the Wind - Della19. G, 1k. Soulmates AU.

Harry x Eggsy soulmate au where you only see colour once you meet your soulmate (so you don’t know them until you see them).

And it goes away when they die.

☂️ our vintage misery - fideliant. E, 23k. Pining, slow burn.

hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

On a difficulty scale of one to saving the world, love shouldn't be this far off the charts.

☂️ into the wails of your windfight - fideliant. E, 8k. Pining.

It takes a mission gone wrong for Eggsy to find out that even in real life, the dead don't always stay dead. Sometimes the movies get that part right, it would seem.

☂️ Class Of Conduct - fideliant. E, 13k. Slow burn.

Or, Six Things Eggsy Has Learned About Being A Gentleman

“Lesson number one,” Harry says. “Manners matter.”

☂️ Random Access Memories - fideliant. E, 20k. Memory loss.

Having a supercomputer in your head isn't all that much to be cracked up about.

☂️ down dark tides the glory slides - fideliant. E, 23k. Pining, memory loss.

You only ever truly hurt the ones you love.

☂️ Or Else - breakdancingfish. M, 4k.

Before they’re allowed to go out on their own, Eggsy and Roxy form a four person team with Harry and Merlin, completing several missions together. Oh, and Harry is the world’s biggest tease. Of course.

☂️ We Are Faking It - lokidiabolus. T, 62k. Fake relationship, slow burn.

For Eggsy it was a thing - he was taking from Harry enough, now was the time he should give something back. Even if it meant playing his lover to get the mission going and catch the culprit. Who would it be if not him, right? Right.

☂️ 57 Degrees. Precisely. - Galahard. M, 6k. Marine!Eggsy, texing, coffee shop AU.

In an alternate world Eggsy goes into the Marines, and stays in the Marines. This is a take on that au, though please forgive my lack of actual Marine knowledge. Also included: finicky coffee drinkers, texting addictions, and baristas with ulterior motives.

☂️ A Not So Lazy Evening - Galahard. E, 3k. Bottom!Harry, PWP. Really good read.

☂️ Vermillion - Galahard. E, 14k. Shy!Harry, slow burn.

He didn't know what to do with that. He didn't blush. He wasn't some teenager to be so affected by anything Eggsy did. Though really, he couldn't remember the last time he'd looked at someone and not pictured them in his bed but rather his dining room, chowing down on too sugary cereal while loudly revealing his plans for the day.

☂️ Soulmates - Galahard. 1k. Soulmates AU. How much do I adore this? A lot.

For Harry Hart's 16th birthday he not only gets his soul mark.

He gets a complete sentence.

☂️ Withdrawal - Saucery. T, 1k. Pining, finger kink.

Eggsy goes into withdrawal without Harry’s touch.

☂️ The Language of Flowers - Saucery. M, 1k. Flower shop AU, florist!Eggsy, lawyer!Harry, meet-cute, mutual pining.

Eggsy is a florist with an attitude. Harry is a lawyer with a conscience. Flowers bring them together.

☂️ The King’s Thief - twentyfourblackbirds. T, 8k.

"Harry," Eggsy said one day, while Harry was deep in a report about weapons smuggling in Ukraine. "I really fancy you." "Mmm-hmm," Harry responded, flipping to another chapter about airline safety standards in Indonesia. "If I had to say it," Eggsy mused, slightly put out, "I would, in fact, say that I am deeply, wildly, and madly in love with you." "That's very good, Eggsy," Harry said absentmindedly, scrawling his signature at the bottom of the paper. Eggsy sighed. "Sometimes, I might think you don't listen to a word I say."

☂️ Patience and Sheer Determinaiton - blacktofade. E, 47k. Fake relationship, prostitute!Eggsy.

Harry goes undercover to infiltrate the circle of a corrupt overlord and is given Eggsy, a young prostitute, as a token of goodwill. Harry has to live with Eggsy and keep him safe, while maintaining his cover.

☂️ Care and Custody - esama. T, 50k.

Eggsy takes out the medal in slightly worse circumstances, asking for a miracle.

☂️ How Eggsy Met Harry, As Told Through A Series of Soul Marks - thayde. 91k. Soulmates AU, WIP. I would warn you that this hasn't been updated for a long time now but if you have a brave heart then march on soldier.

Eggsy stares at the Mark on his chest sometimes, and wonders if his soulmate would ever settle for street trash like him.

☂️ Boyfriend Material - Deepdarkwaters. E, 3k. Mutual pining, oblivious!Eggsy.

"Are you a cigarette? Cos you're smoking hot and I wanna put your butt in my mouth."

☂️ Pig Latin - aerospaces. E, 10k. Fluff.

In Kenya, Eggsy falls off a flight of stairs. Or: lessons in cohabitation.

Eggsy discovers the joys of a home-cooked meal among many other things.

☂️ Considerably Less Cannibalism - LizaPod. E, 6k. Shaving, barebacking. This one is the myth, the legend, the fic.

It is a real, physical struggle to not stare like a dogger while Harry shrugs off his jacket and undoes his collar, sets his signet ring aside. He has detailed, minutely detailed, fantasies about unbuttoning that fucking collar. At least he’s not wearing the holster right now, or Eggsy’d be sprung already. “It’s time you learned the fine art of the straight razor shave.”

Eggsy gives him his best you havin’ a fucking giggle, mate eyebrows. “Like Sweeney Todd?”

Harry’s sigh is just bordering on melodramatic, but he’s also got that odd— Roxy calls it enigmatic—smile he gets when Eggsy trots out some unexpected bit of culture. "Yes, Eggsy, like Sweeney Todd."

☂️ Kiss Me Now (before I can run) - persephoneggsy. M, 37k. Soulmates AU.

It wasn’t unusual, Eggsy told himself. There were plenty of people- just a little under half of the world’s population, really- that weren’t with their soulmates. Some of them just hadn’t met yet; others had died beforehand; and then there were the people in Eggsy’s situation. Sometimes people genuinely didn’t want their soulmates. Either they were in love with someone else, or they just didn’t like what they got stuck with, and Eggsy imagined the latter was very much the case with him and Harry. He couldn’t even begin to imagine what it must have felt like for him, the world’s prime example of a posh bloke, to have his soulmate be some beaten-up kid. He would have rejected him too.

Or: soulmate AU where you know your soulmate from the moment you touch them, and when you do, their name gets written over your heart like a brand. But that's not always a guarantee.

☂️ “It suits you, you should keep it” - eggsystolemyhart. G, 600-ish.

"What...?"

"Pardon, Eggsy."

"What...?"

"Did you not hear me previously? I said it suits you, you should keep it."

"What...?"

☂️ Five Stars, Would Shag Again - EmmyAngua. E, 6k. Seduction.

This time, the penultimate task isn’t to seduce an heiress, it’s to seduce an agent. Merlin assures the final three that the agent is chosen entirely at random.

So of *course* it’s Harry.

☂️ are we human, or are we dynamite - randomhorse. M, 13k. Pacific Rim AU.

It’s been seventeen years since Harry has lost his co-pilot Lee Unwin in the drift, and still the world won’t stop ending.

In the Hong Kong Shatterdome, Merlin is launching a new line of Kingsman Jaegers fit to fight Category 4 Kaijus emerging from the Breach.

In the suburbs of London, Eggsy Unwin gets the draft for Jaeger Academy.

☂️ who got the keys to my bimmer - hartwinning. M, 69k. Mutual pining, mechanic!Eggsy, UST, slow burn.

"What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?"

Harry gives him a slightly bewildered look and furrows his brow.

"A porcupine has the pricks on the outside," Eggsy finishes.

☂️ hold courage to your chest - Fahye. E, 46k. I adore this.

Eggsy slumps against the wall, feeling every bruise like it's new, and tells the truth.

"You want to make sure I jump when I'm told?" he demands. "It'd better be you doing the telling, Harry."

☂️ Bang to Rights - concernedlily. E, 17k. Police AU.

Constable Unwin never met a tailor before, but he knows this bloke who keeps turning up at his crime scenes ain't one.

☂️ Breakeven - theshizniiit (orphan_account). E, 85k. Omega!Harry, mpreg.

When Harry walked inside the church (and then out of it, and right into Valentine's bullet) he didn't know he was pregnant.

And now he's back from the dead. This time, with an extra passenger and quite a few problems.

☂️ The New Age - DivineProjectZero. Soulmates AU.

It starts with being cursed.

No, scratch that. It starts with a garden and a serpent. And no, it goes a little differently from what you’d think.

☂️ You Are Beautiful - Sheepie. G, 8k. Coffee shop AU.

Eggsy Unwin works as a barista at the Suited Bean. He's been in love with regular customer Harry Hart for a long time, but he never said anything. Who would want to date someone his size? But Harry sees nothing wrong with the way Eggsy looks.

☂️ Couple of (Couples) Mugs - ilokheimsins. T, 2k. Fluff.

Harry and Eggsy absolutely do not have couples mugs that proclaim their love for one another. Harry is about 70 percent sure of this.

☂️ Gimme All Your Love - midnightsurge. M, 11k. Fireman!Eggsy, rimming.

“Sorry,” a soothing, male voice started hesitantly, “but… didn’ I pull you out of a burnin’ building a few weeks ago?”

Harry nearly choked on his drink as the question registered in his mind, his brown eyes flicking to the side to confirm that, yes indeed, it was Eggsy standing there with wide eyes.

“Fuck, sorry!” Eggsy apologised profusely as he held his hands up, wanting to help but unsure how to do so. “Ain’t meant to startle you!”

Eggsy is a fireman. He saves Harry's life when a mission goes awry. A few weeks later, they meet again.

☂️ Rules of Insanity - inthepapers3times. E, 54k. Dark!Eggsy.

The worst mistake of Harry Hart’s life started like many of the minor mistakes he had made: with a one night stand. If only he had taken the taxi all the way to his house. Maybe then he wouldn't have met this particular young man, and he wouldn't have taken him home. Maybe then all of this could have been avoided.

Harry gets pulled into a dangerous game with Gary, a disturbed man he barely knows, and has no choice but to play along.

Gary is in control completely. He makes the rules. Harry is just forced to follow them.

☂️ dig in your fingers - kirkaut. E, 42k. First time, body worship.

The lack of a silver suppository has set Eggsy upon a certain path. The way that Eggsy looks, dripping wet and half naked, sets Harry on another.

(Or: Total Canon Re-Write, aka The One Where Harry's Libido Saves His Life)

☂️ sins without tragedies - kingstier. T, 11k. 5 + 1. Fake marriage.

"Harry, are we married?"

"Aren't we?"

Or, the five times they're practically married and the one time they're not (yet).

☂️ 5 Knots Harry made + 1 Knot Eggsy tied - therune. T, 2k. 5 + 1. I love this immensely!

Whenever Eggsy gets dressed in his suit he purposefully skips a button or struggles with his tie so that Harry is forced to step into his personal space and fix it for him.

☂️ Like Real People Do - coloursflyaway. T, 3k. 5 + 1. Undercover, first kiss.

Five times Eggsy called Harry a pet name, and one time Harry called Eggsy one.
