KINKTOBER 2023

Howdy y'all! I'm super excited because I am going to be able to do Kinktober this year!

I'm looking at opening up about 5 slots this year with recommended donations of $18-22 for ~2k words per piece.

Since this is a bit of a late start, some fics might not come out until November, and I would appreciate your patience as I balance my fic writing and my coursework.

Fandoms I will write for include:

COD MW2

RDR2

Resident Evil 8 Village

Mandalorian

Witcher

I would like to keep to reader-insert fics if at all possible but I am open to ship fic commissions after the month of October.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you to the marvelous @lucky-bishop for the tag this week. I’m tagging @clareguilty @nickcharleswife @punchedbymarkesmith and @mirrorthoughts if any of you are working on something you want to share :) Here’s a random snippet from a steter fic I’m working on:

Christmas is bittersweet for Stiles. He loves it, but there’s always an edge of sadness to it too. He supposes it’s probably that way for everyone who has lost people, and even a lot of people who haven’t.

When he was younger, he tried to cover it up with frantic, jolly energy. Dragging his dad or his friends to multiple holiday events, laughing too loud, drinking too much spiked eggnog, and buying extravagant gifts he couldn’t afford for crushes who didn’t appreciate him.

It’s different now. In the past couple years he’s let himself feel it more, and the holiday season has settled down into something less sparkling, but also more genuine.

Right now he’s meandering through the woods with Derek, looking for things to use for a wreath.

Derek’s carrying a big straw basket with a red and green plaid bow on the handle to put things in. It’s adorable. He loves that his alpha is a Christmas nerd, and he loves even more that he’s able to enjoy the holiday again after so many years of pain.

“So, are you and Chris going to do anything over Christmas?” Stiles asks.

Derek’s cheeks immediately flush. He always blushes when Stiles asks about them at all. It’s hilarious.

“Allison is going to hang out with some friends on Christmas Eve so uh, he invited me over.”

“Ooooh Christmas Eve together? That sounds seeeerious,” Stiles teases.

“Do you think so?” Derek asks, looking kind of terrified.

“Would that be a bad thing?”

Derek looks down and smiles a little, cheeks flushing even more red. “I don’t- it would- it’s cool,” he finishes lamely.

Stiles laughs as he picks up a particularly nice pine cone and adds it to the basket. “Hey, I’m happy for you, you know? You deserve it.”

“I like him a lot,” Derek admits, that shy smile growing even as he still refuses to meet Stiles’s eyes.

His alpha is such a marshmallow under all that leather. He loves it.

“Hey, what do you get someone for Christmas who can buy themselves whatever they want?” Stiles asks a few minutes later.

“Thinking about Peter?” Derek asks.

“What? No. I mean. I didn’t say that.”

“Uh huh. Well I think that ‘someone’ would like something personal from you. Something he—I mean ‘they’ since obviously I have no idea who this mysterious person is—couldn’t just buy with money.”

“I take it back. You’re not adorable at all.”

Derek’s eyebrows lift. “You never said that in the first place.”

“Well I thought it,” Stiles says, pouting, “and now I’m taking it back.”

“What a tragedy,” Derek says, “However will I get over it?”

WIP Wednesday!

I was tagged by the wonderful @clareguilty and who am I to resist the temptation of posting sneak peeks? ;D

Tagging @blairwaldcrf @kimmycup @miazeklos @kymera219

Now, have an excerpt from Murder and Mischief, the sequel to Murder Triad that I'm currently working on!

--

“Remember when we first came to London and I said that there was still… unfinished business I wanted to take care of in the US at some point?”

Stiles hopped onto the table right next to the box, turning to face his pack. No and Peter exchanged a look, something between curiosity and intrigue. The betas all stood in a half-circle around Stiles, attentively listening to him with varying degrees of frowns on their faces.

“You want to kill someone,” Isaac said slowly. “Because that’s what you did before.”

Boyd and Erica had gone into graphic detail on how Gerard had died. For every crime he’d ever committed against them. The kidnapping and torture of Stiles, Boyd and Erica. The involvement in the Hale Fire – though he may not have set it himself, there was no denying that he had condoned his daughter’s actions, that he had set his daughter onto this genocidal path to begin with.

Stiles pressed his lips together and nodded, a serious look on his face. That also changed the pack’s mood though, because he was very rarely serious. He quipped and snarked even through life threatening danger. Stiles’ eyes landed on Derek.

“Kate Argent is still alive,” Stiles offered softly.

“I tore out her throat myself,” Peter argued with a growl and a flash of red eyes.

“Yeah. You, an Alpha werewolf, dug your claws really deep into her,” Stiles glowered at the floor. “It turned her. I found out a couple months ago. Been keeping tabs on the hunters who stayed in Beacon Hills with Kate and Gerard. Listening in on what goes on in the hunter world. Kate’s alive.”

“Alive and a werewolf?” Jackson asked tensely.

“Nope,” Stiles offered a mirthless smile. “The shape reflects the person. In her case, that is some… weird, blue abomination version of a jaguar for some reason. I saw pictures. They’re not flattering.”

“Months,” Derek repeated lowly, arms crossed oh so tightly over his chest. “You’ve known she is alive for months. Why didn’t you…”

“Didn’t have anything concrete,” Stiles shook his head. “Rumored whispers. No leads. Didn’t want to bring down the mood with something that either may have still turned out to be nothing, or something that we couldn’t follow up on.”

The Nogitsune stepped up to him, resting a hand high on Stiles’ thigh as he leaned in, head tilted to whisper into his ear. “But now you found her? And you want to kill her?”

“Well, I wanted to offer Derek, Peter and Cora that part, on account of, ya know, the fire,” Stiles couldn’t help but lean into No. “But yeah, end-goal is her being permanently dead. I was thinking burning the body afterward until there is only ash left that can not even be resurrected.”

“Poetic,” No purred, licking a stripe up Stiles’ neck.

“Behave, demon,” Stiles hissed, pushing the Nogitsune off some. “The betas are still in the room.”

“You can’t talk about murder and expect me not to get aroused,” No frowned at him.

“You people are so fucking weird,” Jackson muttered with a shake of his head.

Thankfully, Peter had mercy on Stiles and the pack and grabbed the Nogitsune around the waist to pull him off their Spark. The fox hissed at him displeased but let it happen, for now.

“I know where she is. I know what she is. I know how to kill her. I know how to kill her protectors – that’s what’s in the box. She has been gathering Berserkers, which are a little harder to kill than hunters. So… Again, none of you have to go. You can stay here, safe in our den.”

“If you think we’ll let you go back on your own, you are out of your mind, Batman,” Erica frowned at him. “I may sit out the killing itself, the whole Gerard thing was… a lot. But I’ll still come.”

“We both are,” Boyd clarified, wrapping one arm around his mate and reaching out for Stiles with his other. “You brought us back to life. We’re in this together.”

“Yeah, I may not be ‘you resurrected me’ indebted to you, but you’re Alpha Mate of our pack. You’re pack. And this is about avenging our pack,” Isaac raised his eyebrows.

“We’re all in this together,” Jackson confirmed.

That was only after the intial paranoia and shock at the fact that Isaac had been recruited by a werewolf photographer for a werewolf modeling gig.

Thanks for the tag @clareguilty! I could have sworn I was already following you, but I am now, lmao. Tagging @always-mimits and @geekmom13

As a gift for the tag, here's a snippet from a Stetopher that's been floating around in my head for a while. Hopefully, I will get it out soon!

Chris could only stare wide-eyed as Stiles and Peter came through the door loaded with bags. “Don’t look at me like that,” Peter huffed, shifting the grocery bags in his hands. “You never have decent food here, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to survive on your processed trash.”

Shaking his head, the hunter waved Stiles toward the hallway. “Come on, I’ll show you where you’re sleeping.”

“Dude, you know we’ve been here before, right?”  Laughing, Stiles followed Chris back to the spare bedroom.

“Yeah, I,” clearing his throat, Chris lifted an eyebrow. “That’s a lot of luggage.”

Looking down at the two duffels he had strapped across his chest and the large suitcase he pulled behind him, Stiles snorted, “This is just Peter’s shit.  The man does not understand the meaning of packing light.”

“You still got more outside?” bouncing the baby in his arms, Chris started back down the hall. “I can help get stuff if you need me to.”

“Just take care of the baby, Daddy.”

Chris jerked, spinning back to look at Stiles with a raised eyebrow.

“Yup,” Stiles laughed, holding his hands up. “That was weird.  Won’t do it again.”

“I don’t even know if I’m keeping him,” Chris said, snuggling CJ under his chin. He smiled as the baby started patting his cheek.  “Derek said his pack was probably gone. I just wanna make sure he’s safe before I let him go somewhere new.”

“Yeah, you know damn well that’s not why it was weird,” rolling his eyes, Stiles paused as he pushed open the screen door, “but I get it.  That’s why we’re here.  No one’s gonna hurt the little dude if we can help it.”

It took every ounce of Chris’s self-control not to jump as a hand slid across his shoulder.  Looking back with a raised eyebrow, he met Peter’s eyes. “What are you doing?”

“Derek said we needed to mix scents with you to calm CJ.” Stepping in so that their bodies brushed together, Peter smirked as his hand slid down across Chris’s chest. “This is where he usually lays his head, is it not?”

The hot press of Peter at his back was making Chris’s stomach swoop in a way it hadn’t in years.  He’d had a thing for Peter for a while, but when your family’s responsible for killing most of someone’s, you gotta assume they wouldn’t be interested in you.  Even still, he couldn’t help but relax back into that heat as Peter’s other hand settled on his waist.  Reminding himself that he couldn’t have this wolf, he cleared his throat. “Yeah, um, that’s where he usually sleeps.”

He was so distracted by how close Peter was that he missed the door opening. “Jesus, Peter, can you at least help me carry everything inside before you start molesting him?  There are still groceries in the trunk, plus your stupid bathroom bag that, I swear to god, is bigger than our actual bathroom.”

Chris jerked forward, feeling guilty for the direction of his thoughts. “That’s not-he’s scent marking me,” the hunter stuttered. “Derek said we needed to for CJ.”

Snorting, Stiles smirked at him, “Yeah, for CJ.”  Shaking his head, he bumped shoulders with Peter on his way past. “Help me carry everything in, then you can scent mark him.  For CJ.”

“You’ll have to do it too, sweetheart.”

“Think I can be as subtle as you?”  Huffing as he walked past, Stiles shot a look over his shoulder, wagging his eyebrows.  “Maybe I’ll just crawl in his lap.”

Not sure what to make of the conversation around him, Chris’s eyes darted between them.  Stiles didn’t sound mad, but the remark about subtilty and crawling in his lap was a little weird.  Peter had been extra touchy, but it wasn’t like he wanted anything other than to scent mark, so how did one thing correlate with the other?  The idea of Stiles crawling into his lap did things to his already ramped up libido.  He needed to shift his focus before Peter realized what was happening with him. “I’m gonna go make the baby a bottle.  You guys just keep doing whatever this is.”

Chris pushed past him, cursing under his breath as Peter’s nostrils flared.  “Jesus,” he muttered, looking around his kitchen.  Bags were everywhere, and organic everything was spilling out of the tops.  Looking up as Stiles came in, Chris lifted an eyebrow, “This is a lot of stuff.”

I haven't been doing a ton of fanfic writing lately but every so often I tap a couple sentences out on this Inception fic that's been in the wip folder since December:

Eames, though, has always had a predilection for the impossible—challenges, odds, people—which perhaps explains why he’s never been deterred by Arthur, the man who so neatly encompasses all three.

Last song played: I believe A Past and Future Secret by Blind Guardian, which plays into the current obsession.

Favorite color: Either light blue or a dark green, either is my jam

Favorite dish: I dunno if I have a specific favorite dish... 🤔 Maybe my breakfast burritos with fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, onions, sometimes mushrooms, corn, and bell pepper when I can get it

Current favorite characters: Another tricky one. I'm a bit inbetween character obsessions. If just going by my favorite characters from my current obsession, then Leliana and Cassandra (Dragon Age Inquisition)

Currently watching: Game Grumps playing Danganronpa v3. And halfway through a My Dress Up Darling rewatch, my favorite anime that I can practically never recommend to people.

Last film I watched: Truly could not tell you, I don't generally watch movies, least of all by myself. Maybe Fear Street?

Current Obsession: Split between Arthurian legend which is research fuel for the next book, and Dragon Age Inquisition which has consumed me entirely for the last week or so. I stopped playing it for like 14 months and then returned to immediately spent hours and hours a day blasting through it.

Last thing I googled: Might and Magic 6 skill trainers. Been going on a nostalgia bend recently. I can never remember where the goddang expert repair item guy is

WIP Whenever

I got tagged by @clareguilty - thank you dear <3 - and oh boy yeah, I got too many things I am working on parallel right now so I am spoiled for choice (I do not like this, because I usually write one oneshot at a time and don't start four to shuffle between, it's dizzying). HOWEVER since you posted a Stetopher snippet, you're getting a Stetopher snippet in return ;D

Have a sneak peek into Surprise Wedding Guest, a Stetopher Neckz 'n Throats AU based on a prompt from my wonderful @kimmycup to be posted on November 27th. Malia and Allison invite Peter and Chris' celebrity crush, famous Neckz 'n Throats model Stiles, to Peter and Chris' wedding in the hopes that maybe his PR team will send them a signed picture or something. Unexpectedly, Stiles actually shows up.

(Once again, this was meant to be short but then I accidentally also gave Stiles a stalker who's trying to kill him and Stiles ends up hiring Chris' security firm for protection and there were a lot of Pack Feels as per usual and platonic bestieisms for Sciles and Sterica and Sterek and now I'm 16k into this somehow. That's enough rambling, sorry. On to the sneak peek.)

--

“Hi, Batman! Isaac said you’re here!”

The next second, he had the blonde draped over him, scent-marking and hugging him. Yeah, Derek was right. There really were people outside his pack now who he cared about. He grinned as he scent-marked her back, earning a very pleased noise from the wolf.

“We should hang out more,” Stiles declared impulsively. “You mostly live in my phone and that’s a shame. I should get to see you more often, it’s a treat for my eyes.”

He winked, causing Erica to cackle. “Says the literal model.”

“Girl, have you seen yourself,” Stiles raised his eyebrows and dragged his eyes over her. “I can picture you in multiple shoots as we speak.”

“That’d be fun,” Erica grinned amused.

“Okay. Tell me when you’re free.”

The grin turned into a surprised expression as Erica blinked at him. “Wait. Are you serious?”

“Sure,” Stiles shrugged. “I mean it, you’re a total bombshell. If you’re interested in actually doing a shoot, I can arrange that.”

“You… can? And you would? Really?”

Shit, it was too adorable when people got surprised by him doing something for them. Made him feel all giddy and happy, because it showed that they didn’t expect it. That he was more than just his connections and money to them. He’d been used too many times at this point and every time he had someone who really did spend time with him just to spend time with him, without wanting or expecting something from him in return, that meant the world to him.

Stiles raised his eyebrows in amusement. “Yeah, I can. Beyond the fact that everyone in the industry is ready to bend over backward to please me and be on my good side, I really do think that you got the face, and the body, for the job, so what’s the harm in trying if you really are interested.”

“Holy shit,” Erica squealed and fully launched herself at him, hugging him tightly. “I gotta tell Boyd!”

As soon as their hug ended, she rushed off to the kitchen again, leaving Stiles with an amused smile on his lips before he sat down. The smile dimmed a little when he saw the frown Chris and Peter aimed at him. Oh. Had he… Had he overstepped? They were Erica’s Alphas, maybe they didn’t want one of their pack-members to do something like this. He felt weirdly disappointed and sad at that thought, that they may judge his profession. There were enough people like that, he knew it from his own experience. People who looked at the porn and enjoyed it but still looked down on the models for doing the job. He hated the thought that Chris and Peter may be looking down on him.

“You didn’t have to do that, Stiles,” Chris spoke softly. “You know that Erica didn’t befriend you to get a job, right?”

“Huh,” Stiles blinked surprised.

“She loves you a lot,” Peter added, voice as gentle as his husband’s. “You just told us about how most people want to gain something from you. Erica doesn’t.”

Oh. The sad feeling dispersed and was replaced by comfortable warmth again. A soft smile spread over his lips as he regarded them.

“That’s not…” Stiles shook his head. “That’s sweet of you to say, but I’m actually aware of that. She never asked me for anything, she didn’t ask for the shoot either. I offered. I like doing nice things for the people I care about, if it’s in my power to do it. Pulling some strings is nothing.”

He watched the frowns on Chris and Peter’s face to slowly fade as they nodded. It made him smile. They’d been worried about him. That was… nice. He bit his lips, watching Isaac carry over their food. It smelt as divine as always. Boyd seriously was an amazing chef and this place should be booked out at all times. Looking around, he saw far too many empty tables for a Friday night.

He knew his post during the wedding had gained them some traction, but that had been five or six months ago now, hadn’t it? Celebrity craze tended to die down. Well, Stiles couldn’t let that stand. He got his phone out and took a moderately indecent picture of himself eating – he knew full-well what his lips looked like and the effect they had on horny people – and then posted it to his insta, tagging the restaurant again.

“Put your phone down,” Chris ordered, very sternly.

It startled Stiles into nearly dropping it because holy shit that bossy voice was hot. When he looked up at the man, he must have looked like a deer in the headlights, even as he obeyed.

“In our pack, there are no phones allowed during dinner. If you eat with us, you follow our rules,” Peter clarified, voice as serious as his husband’s.

Stiles bit back the ‘Yes, sir’ that threatened to spill from his lips at the commanding voices. He would not mind following their rules in other settings either.
