Outtakes - Non-smut Vol 1

AO3 | Kofi | Main Masterlist | The Spreadsheet Masterlist | Vol 2

Hi friends! Sometimes we want fics that are SFW or we just want to make ourselves sad or we need a little pick me up. I'm here with a list of fics that have no (explicit) smut as of posting! They may have smutty thoughts or mild allusions to smut, but those are marked in the warnings!

I know, me, posting non-smut fics.... but they deserve love too! Note that while many of these are rated T, they are posted on blogs that are 18+ so MDNI <3

Summaries and tags are, in most cases, provided by the author - please be sure to read them as some of these fics may have content you do not wish to read.

What monster do you want to see the dungeon meshi crew cook up?

Hi pal! Sorry I took so long to answer, I wanted to add pictures to my reply and go through my trusty youkai book to see if something besides my first 3 choices caught my attention (in the end I decided that 3 is such a nice number already, let's not be extra) (you will soon see that i failed step one, this post gets very very extra)

That we haven't seen before? Hmm 🤔

Well, I'm pretty happy with what they eat in canon. Post-canon in true "Toshiro my beloved, I would kill and die to learn more about the pandemonium you call home" fashion, I think there's several yōkai that would be interesting to see cooked!

Yosuzume

Bird yōkai that appear in the night and chirp "chi, chi, chi" like a sparrow, and are said to pass in front of people who walk along mountain trails. In some prefectures it takes the form of a butterfly or a moth. It generally warns travelers of upcoming encounters with mountain dogs or mountain wolves. Often, only one person within a group of travelers can hear them.

Since it's essentially just a bird with supernatural abilities, that's quite an easy hurdle to overcome when it comes to eating, right? Even if it probably WILL give the killers bad luck.

Would be fun to see it as a moth/butterfly though, since THEN we'd get to see the Bug Besties (Falin + Toshiro)'s position on eating bugs.

Ushi-oni

A yōkai from the folklore of western Japan. They usually have an ox's head with sharp upward-curving horns, wicked fangs and a slender tongue, and an oni's torso. Other ushi-oni have a reverse appearance, with an oni's head and an ox's body. Their body is also commonly depicted as spider-like with six legs and long singular claws at the end of each appendage.

They may appear wearing human clothing, or flying with the wings of an insect. They spit poison and enjoy killing and eating humans.

Now THAT'S unsettling, isn't it? I like the challenge of eating an arachnid. It's doubly irk-inducing, because it's a very ugly monster, and also what would the meat be like? Beef? Would it be more insect-like?

If your culture doesn't eat both it's going to be challenging. And even if they do, it's such an odd mix, I think only the most adventurous would dare to take this one on, which is very interesting!

Yamabiko

An echo-spirit depicted as a small goat-like humanoid in a sitting position.

Yamabiko will echo any sound created by humans. They're rare to encounter and even rarer to engage. If someone tries to touch it, they will feel their hand passing through a viscous liquid. If you talk to Yamabiko, it will repeat what the person said before responding. For example: "What is your name?" "What is my name? My name is Yamabiko"

Now on to the other side of unsettling, this little dude is not only not what it appears (viscous? really?? how do you cook that! soup time?) it TALKS.

I know I'm leaning hard on the taboo side of monster eating, but, I mean, would you eat an animal that talks back? Many people think that eating parrots and crows is evil for that very reason, but are they that different from a chicken? Idk! It's interesting to me.

Also!!! I've made this joke before but I low-key really do think that eating the flying hag would fix Toshiro lol

"Mar, It's made of magic and paper" idc eat your trauma to assert your dominance Toshiro do it for me, beloved. High in fiber too, essentially a health food!

Since we're on the topic, I think it'd be very fun if this... Yknow, monster eating business was seen from the perspective of Toshiro + Falin + Namari + Kiki + Kaká + probably someone else though I haven't figured out who. Tade would be cute since I think Toshiro would benefit from being closer to her, enough that he can talk openly to her about... spoilers?

The plot could be that as she's about to go on her Journey Around The World, Falin asks Namari if she wants to tag along to visit Toshiro, since the two of them got along so well in the party.

I imagine Namari would not only have an interest in going to Wa and learning what their weapons are like (Wa is after all inspired in Japan, who is renowned for their swordsmithing & polishing tradition. Maybe they could reference the 10 legendary katana legend too?), she'd be excited to see Toshiro again.

Kind of want Kaka and Kiki to tag along, since they have such a cute dynamic and I quite liked how they were used for exposition. Besides! KikiMari crumbs. Wouldn't it be sweet if Mr. and Ms. Tansu encouraged them to tag along so they can broaden their horizons?

I also kind of want to see them interact with Toshiro? Toshiro and Kaka are probably too similar to be too talkative, but it'd also provide an opportunity for the theme of kinship (prevalent in Toshiro's story) and also just. situational humour around two guys who are reserved. Not many mangakas can pull it off, but Ryoko Kui is definitely one of the few.

And with Kiki, idk I see something there! She has the type of personality that's a good balance of polite and cheeky. And Toshiro's so easy to tease lol. I think they'd have a fun friendship. Also tbh there's my 'toshiro and namari are each other wingmans, its not very good but its what they've got' agenda.

Showing everyone around would be a good opportunity for Toshiro to leave his household and do a little soul-finding himself, too.

Finally, I'm kinda super into the idea of their adventures actually being narrated by Laios, who's reading to Kabru and Marceille and others but mainly them the letters he's receiving from Falin, Toshiro and Namari.

Oh btw, if they're eating yokai it's absolutely because of Falin lol. She gets her way every time, somehow.

#SO LONG.... ITS JUST. I HAVE THIS VISION and this is my blog where I get to be deranged and you gave me suchhh a good opening omg. ty. ilu #ask #rambles #how do i pitch this to Ryoko Kui. help.#Falin Touden #Namari #namari of kahka brud #Kiki Floke #Kaka Floke #KikiMari #only tangential but omg..... we could have so much fun with that #Kiki watching Namari indulge in her weapons hyperfixation. all '' yep thats enrichment to her'#Toshiro making another guy friend and Kaka making another tall-man friend. wah.#Toshiro Nakamoto #Nakamoto Toshiro #Shuro #I'm sorry toshiro nation it is me once again with my hyper-specific visions #bug besties #I feel like they need another magic user in the party even if they aren't actually going into dungeons. dunno who'd be good though :-/c #creatures #Youkai #dunmesh rambles #Dungeon Workwives

okay i am very new here, so i need a through introduction to your mcs! like eve for example, pls post his whole biography o(╥﹏╥)o

fr tho, tell me anything and everything :D

TOOK SO DAMN LONG SINCE I WANTED TO DRAW A STEP ONE REF OF EVE BUT ITS GONNA TAKE A MINUTE so here are the sketches,,, Anyways- gonna introduce the main two mcs/ocs you'll see here: Eve Cortez Williams and Aaliyah Dubious

(dont mind my ipad scribbles on the screenshot iofqiowogi) Lemme put this under a readmore actually so yall dont get slammed with a long ass post:

Starting with Eve:

He's my Tamarack MC, but I figured since uh. all my art that was a given

He has a strained relationship with Qiu in step 1 but they become besties by step 2 and by step 3, they are like family to each other. If no one got Eve, Eve knows Qiu got them, amen 🙏

He comes out as transmasc by step 2, and by step 3 he gets top surgery and starts taking testosterone and firmly identifies as a butch lesbian

He's from the southern part of Miami, Florida. He's Golden Grove's residential florida man

He practices martial arts religiously, he's a big fan of Goku and Dragonball in general so he wants to be like his idol

His story deviates a bit from the OL2 generic mc story, he did have a dad! Opal and his dad wanted a kid but they both didn't want to get married and since the two of them were best friends, they decided to have a kid together (or well two but we'll talk about that later)

What's important to note from above is that his dad isn't around anymore because his father passed away a few months ago due to a car accident and Eve was hospitalized as a result

So by the time he's at Golden Grove, he's in anger stages of his grief and he doesn't want to be bothered. Which sucks cause hes neighbors with the two loudest kids on the block

Doesn't help he's a ESL speaker (English as a Second Language) and Golden Grove's population is majorly white so he has even harder of a time adjusting to it

He gets into fights in step 1... a Lot. Someone will look at him funny and they'll get punched in the face

He does adjust but he still doesn't like Golden Grove by step 3 but funnily enough, he moves away at the end of step 3 for treatment but moves back in step 4, crazy how that shit works huh

He has two emotional support bunnies; Bulma and Chi-Chi! He gets them in step 2, Qiu and Eve bond over them LMFAO

As for Aaliyah:

She's my Qiu MC, to the shocker of no one. Tamarack is also her best friend <3

Aaliyah is from New Orleans, Louisiana! She's full blooded Haitian and she has family in Haiti

She's also transfem! She passes for cis in step 1 thanks to hormone blockers and some makeup and then starts taking estrogen in step 2 and onwards

Her being black and transfemme is integral to her character and how she navigates around Golden Grove, she doesn't tell anyone she's trans until near the end of step 1. By step 3, the girl gang and Qiu knows shes trans

^^ That's because she had a very negative experience coming out to her community who previously loved her but flipped on her just as fast

So moving to Golden Grove was supposed to be a fresh start for her as herself but by that point she feels like she has to keep up her "cis-sona" lest she gets bullied again

She still gets bullied for other reasons in step 2 though (being a pretty black girl and the one person who has a crush on her is the most popular kid in school... its rough! 😭)

By step 4 though she is proud to call herself trans and will let people know!

She lovessss animals! And the animals love her back! She feeds them all the time and keeps animal food on her for that purpose when she goes to the park to read by herself, she got a flock of crows and stray cats that like to follow her

She has a cat named Kiki!!! Kiki loves everyone except Qiu though, Aaliyah doesnt know that though-

I hope that was enough of a info-dump! If anyone has anymore questions please ask i have so much lore please-

#candy girl answers #our life 2 #our life: now and forever #our life mc #aaliyah dubois #eve cortez williams

1, 7, and 9 for the movie ask!

It occurs to me that I could just answer Goncharov (1972) for all of these…

Movie Questions Ask Bait!

->what is your favorite film of all time? Very possibly Mad Max: Fury Road. That movie rewired my brain. That movie scraped the rust off my soul. That movie sneaked up behind me and stole my spine. And it was great.

I literally went to see it in the theater seven (7) times. Seven. If you dig back in my blog here to June 2015, you'll see that this place was full of Fury Road. Stills, gifs, music, meta, fic, shitposts, all of it. All of it.

Sidebar: I think my absolute love of Fury Road is what's keeping me from wanting to see the new Furiosa prequel: Fury Road didn't explain everything to death so we, the fandom, had a great time imagining explanations or making things up. We dissected that movie and we also left it alone. I don't want to know too much. I like that world being left a partial mystery. We, like Max, get thrown into it and we're both figuring out how it works as the story progresses. I love that.

I can't exactly explain why I love it so much. The colors, the action, the fight scenes, the music (holy shit the music), the characters, the weirdness, the story itself, the callbacks and parallels, the newness and the oldness of it (it really is a train robbery movie at its core), the sense (ultimately) of hope, the presences of women (old women even!) in action roles… Something about it, maybe everything about it, were just perfect for me at that time and in that place.

Yeah. Favorite movie ever.

->name a movie you’re emotionally attached to? There's so many ways I could take this. Positive attachment? Negative attachment? Very Strange Time in My Life attachment?

Like, I know I can never watch L'Illusionniste, Les Triplettes de Belleville, or Grave of the Fireflies again because I cried just too fucking hard at each of them, which I think is an emotional attachment.

Or I could say the Lord of the Rings movies (all of them). They came out when I was in college and a handful of us were counting down the days to the premiere, watching this miniscule clip of video taken by a fan from a train that showed a glimpse of the Minas Tirith set endlessly, gobbling up any news or leak or rumor about production on Livejournal, engaging in the fandom of that era (which was a whole thing in and of itself), even going to midnight local premiers. So while I'm not a huge fan of the movies, they certainly were a constant presence in my undergrad days.

Or it could be the other movies that rewired my brain: Mad Max: Fury Road (see above), Princess Mononoke (baby's first Studio Ghibli film in 1999 at the local art house theater), Star Wars (only episodes 4, 5, and 6 though; I kind of deny that any others exist), Kiki's Delivery Service (which I had on VHS in college and would watch when I was stressed and depressed because I love the city), Voices of a Distant Star (the concept really got me)…

Or it could be the kids' movies from my own childhood, you know? Robin Hood (1973) is very near and dear to my heart. And Panda and the Magic Serpent is what started me down the weaboo road way back when I was 6 years old.

There's so many possible answers here. But that's a few movies I have emotional attachments to. How's that?

->guilty pleasure movie? Do I have to? Okay, okay, okay: I like a good cheesy, gory giallo movie, red tempra paint blood and all. Spaghetti westerns are amazing with their half-understandings or misunderstandings of USAmerican history to the point that it becomes something different, something bigger and more epic (I love The Good, The Bad and the Ugly so much). Martial arts movies full of dramatic scenes and wire-fu are so much fun (and I get to practice my Mandarin or my Japanese). Gothic drama, especially from the 1990s, is great like the original IwtV, Crimson Peak, The Crow…

But I paid actual, real, hard-earned money for a (digital) copy of Bloodsport and it's so bad. It's so bad! But I love it--maybe as much for meta reasons as anything.

Like, the whole thing is based on this Canadian-American guy Frank Dux's memoirs about being trained in ninjutsu by a mysterious Senzo "Tiger" Tanaka (who probably didn't exist at all and has the same name as a character in You Only Live Twice) and then going on to compete in this international full-contact underground martial arts competition in Hong King (the "Kumite"). Oh and he was also in the military at the time, doing covert missions, so he had to go AWOL to fight in this competition of course. Which he does without being caught. And he keeps outsmarting the CID officers (one of whom is played by a young Forest Whitaker) when they chase him to Hong Kong, meanwhile picking up an April O'Neill-style beautiful American journalist ("reporter" because it's the 1980s).

The whole thing is so clearly ridiculous bullshit but it's marketed as being based on a true story because Frank Dux insisted his bullshit was true. And it was produced by Cannon Films, which is another can of worms entirely (I highly recommend the documentary Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films for more backstory on the company; it is bonkers). And did I mention that Frank Dux is played by Jean-Claude van Damme? And yes he does do the most epic of splits.

And the whole thing is simultaneously so deep in meta layers (self-proclaimed martial arts masters, which ties into Count Dante and the dojo wars, Frank Dux's amazing bullshit and stolen valor, Cannon Films) and yet so incredibly shallow at the same time.

There's minimal plot, zero depth to the characters, massively long flashback sequences, even longer training montages, a totally ridiculous amalgamation of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures into just "Asian Culture," the dubbing in some scenes is practically criminal, there's minimal exploration of the location (Hong fucking Kong!!!) outside of a chase and a throwaway scene about bad restaurant food, and even the fight scenes during the tournament aren't really all that great.

But the Kowloon Walled City gets some screentime (except that it's just a set sometimes). And there are tons of locally-hired extras and bit players, along with a slew of international actors and/or actual martial artists, even if a lot of them have been cast as nationalities other than their own???--like Bernard Mariano, who is Filipino by descent but was born in Hong Kong, had no martial arts experience but got scouted while he was working out, was cast as a "Middle Eastern" fighter named Hossein, but used his pay from the movie for university classes to go on to be an English teacher in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Jean-Claude van Damme is busy taking his shirt off and wearing super tight spandex underwear (he snaps them in one scene; you're welcome). Leah Ayres is a "reporter," which is really "journalist" and one of the few adventurous jobs acceptable for women in 1980s movies to have, who maybe lives in Hong Kong or maybe doesn't but she's super cute and deserves better than she got in the script; she's The Girl (Leah Ayres is now into pseudoscience). And Donald Gibb is playing this American bar brawler who somehow got invited to this elite fighting tournament and he looks like Kurt Russell in The Thing if he were still infected by the Thing and living out on the ice alone.

Like, I could just keep going. I love this shit. There is so little that's "good" in terms of filmmaking, scriptwriting, cinematography, anything in this movie and yet it entertains the fuck out of me.

Hence: guilty pleasure film.

Akiren calling Akechi cute embarrassing pet names

1/3 edit: Uncensored

Two scenarios:

Platonic Rivals. So Akiren would be calling Akechi cute nicknames just to be a little shit.

Or Akeshu/ShuAke version. They are official boyfriends and they both have different views on public affection. Akechi would rather keep their relationship a secret, so no public affection (which is not unlike actual Japanese citizens).

Then you have Akiren,--- THIS TALL POLITE, SECRETLY UNHINGED HUNK OF A DETECTIVE IS MY LOVER. WE BECAME A COUPLE ON (Insert exact month, day, and time here), HE HAS BEEN MINE EVER SINCE. I AM AWARE HE'S A CELEBRITY AND YOU FANS CAN GUSH OVER HIM ALL YOU WANT BUT KNOW THAT HE IS TAKEN AND I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN KNOWING I HAVE SEEN AND PASSIONATELY TOUCHED PARTS OF THIS MAN YOU CAN ONLY DREAM OF.

Akechi: (covering his beet red flustered face with his hands) “If we weren't currently an item and I didn't love you I would choke the life out of you right now.”

Couple Akeshu/ShuAke during a Palace or Mementos Shadow fight. Joker passes the baton to Crow. Crow gets in battle stance ready to tear the enemy to pieces when—-

Faintly in the background Joker enthusiastically cheers “FUCK ‘EM UP, BABE!”

This causes the mood to completely change. Crow’s manic expression drops instantly, replaced with blush.

The other Thieves are in the background, Ryuji the most confused “What did he just call him, what just happened???....”

Pet names abbreviated from name:

Akechi = Aki or Chi/Chi-Chi (What makes the “Chi-Chi” nickname even more hilarious is that's a babyish alternative word Japanese kids use to refer to their fathers. So it's a babyish version of “Papa”. Take Anya from Spy X Family English Sub for example)

Goro = Go-Go and Go-Chan

When in Metaverse Attire:

Goes for both Robin Hood & Loki/Black Mask form = Birdie

Specifically Loki/Black Mask Form =

Loki = Lulu, Lou, Kiki,

First time Akechi heard the above nicknames while in Black Mask form, he immediately locks eyes with Akiren and stares at him for a couple seconds, internally trying to talk himself out of sending the leader of the Phantom Thieves on an express trip to Velvet Room Purgatory. Ultimately fails and Kasumi and the rest of the Thieves have to physically restrain Akechi from murdering their leader.

In future instances, Akechi just responds by either tuning Joker out or “”CaLmLy”” correcting Joker that it's “Loki”. If Joker refuses to behave and continues, gentle route goes out the window and Akechi goes straight for the throat.

So basically referring to Black Mask Akechi by cute abbreviated nicknames is a speed run of “How fast can I get Akechi to lose his cool and try to kill me?”

The Thieves don't understand why Joker willingly puts himself in those deadly situations but Joker just weakly laughs, on the floor with probably a few fractured and broken bones. He just raises his arm up and forms a thumbs up, managing to wheeze out a “Worth It..”

(Abbreviated pet names in Romance scenario, Akechi wouldn't react by attempted murder, obviously. But just be incredibly flustered and embarrassed. The game for AkiRen in this case would be “How fast can I make my boyfriend a blushing mess?”. Especially since he seems to pull out the pet names at intentionally the worst times, when in public or mid-Metaverse battle)

#persona 5 royal #persona 5 #akiren #ren amamiya #akira kurusu #persona 5 joker #goro akechi #persona 5 crow #cute nicknames #pet names #akeshu #shuake #akeshu hc #funny

Red at Dainisa High School is such a fun idea! What would everybody's dainisa powers be?

thanks for the validation of my terrible niche time consuming idea lmfao

honestly i'm not sure!!!! dainisa can use magic in a variety of ways if they know how to channel it, but most of them don't ever learn to do that bcuz of [gestures at the whole broken diaspora community deliberately deprived of their cultural heritage and knowledge. thing.] so usually when i think about dainisa-in-pokemon, i think it'd be fun for them and their pokemon to kinda bounce powers off each other? like a dainisa may have an innate fire magic ability but through their bond with their greninja they can use water magic. and vice versa. and i think that'd make team rocket's exploitation of pokemon all the worse -- it's meant to be this loving friendship bond and here's giovanni being like "mewtwo and i hate each other so much it gives me telekinesis"

all that to say i'm not set on all these ideas but my initial thoughts are like. informed by x-men and elves (which is what dainisa basically are) and vibes. here's some concepts for some characters:

red = the sun. but he's gotta grow into all that power. he'd start off just being able to talk to pokemon, maybe some healing, but he'd be really bad at a lot of the sensory stuff nova was really good at (i.e. he can't sense magic that well). silent trilogy was a lot of 'seeing the sun through distortion' so it'd be good to write the opposite of that.

gold = venus guided. i think i want him to be kinda like an airbender, that seems like it'd have a lot of dynamic fun things that go well with his whole billiards playing sk8r boi schtick

black = mercury guided. i kinda like the idea of him having fire & electric magic, cos both are things you can easily lose control over and be very anxious about, and also cos well. Reshiram and Zekrom.

N = jupiter guided. he'd have empathy and some precognition. he's peak 'being able to sense someone's emotions doesn't mean you understand them'.

green = mars guided. i want the oaks to be known for nature / plant magic (hence. name.), and i think i want it to be like. green's dad is jyju (translation: elf royalty) but prof oak's renounced the whole system of rule, what will green do??? in which case i wonder if making green a technopath who has little exposure to technology would be something.

blue = everyone's like "??? a siren???" and no she's just manipulating you. i think teleporting would be good but it may make her too OP, crow hotfire was super nerfed by those bitch angels. maybe she's just got magical pickpocketing. is that something? i think i'm running out of somethings.

silver = ice magic. it's no deeper than that. do not ask any questions. leave him alone.

ash ketchum = super strength. and aura powers. it's canon. like i'd plan for every single episode of the anime (95% of which i havent seen) to be canon stuff that happened to ash like 10 years ago. he's red's super cool cousin who red wants to be just like.

steven stone = uh..... rocks. he has a son named jon, he's pretty whiny.

and of course giovanni = the moon. he has no innate magic of his own, and his body can store magic but can't produce it. he can only use magic if he steals it from others, only it doesn't work very well or last for long -- unless he steals it from the sun...........

i have a bunch of other small stuff in mind too, like. i LOVE Kieran and Carmine, what if they're half-dainisa half-human and Carmine has some cool magic but Kiki got none??? can i make Kiki's breakdown worse???? or what if Bede is also an empath and N meets him and is like "wow this guy sucks so bad it's making me realise things about myself". or Gladion being able to control shadows with his twisted emo mind.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY:

there's a thing in transformers lore that starscream has what basically amounts to a "mutated soul" and therefore cannot die. there are no other documented cases of mutated souls it's just a starscream thing. i want that for volo. people think he can't die bcuz he messed with giratina and time and arceus or w/e but no his soul was just made wrong and now nobody, not even god, can destroy it.

thanks for indulging me through all this rambling anon i have no idea if i will ever write this but it's fun to think about!!!!

A small little modern au domestic and parenting vaxleth ficlet ?

Super nervous posting this but my best friend said I should and I wanted to cheer someone up so here's a little (very far off) snippet of a modern au ive been working at. its a university au so this is like in the future. im new at this so

also thanks to my best friend for proof reading it I couldn't decide between robin or Crowe as a name and I think they fixed all the misnames.

Description: Vax and Kiki have twin babies and they’re adorable and love their parents and have discovered a quicker mode of transportation to get to them and its domestic and happy for like a page.

it doesn't have a title bc if it did im in a joke mood and it would be “they see me rollin”

edit: I really just posted my lecture notes instead of the fic sorry yall its fixed

“Im home.” Keyleth cheered into the house as she shut door and toed off her shoes. There was a muffled “Mama’s home!” from the living room before there was an odd sound, almost like an office chair rolling over their wooden floors. Soon theres her little twins, each in a a round table like contraption with their little bodies in the middle, their little legs and some wheels pushing them forward, rounding the corner were bouncing their way towards her cheering for their mama, repeating one of the few vet very valuable words they knew.

Keyleth could not help the laugh that came out of her. The sight of her children so excited to see her, and trying to figure out their legs to get to her quickly was a source of happiness and love she never imagined she’d have. It was too sweet, and too funny. Vax trailed behind them with a laugh.

“Hi my baby birds!” She chirped crouching down to their level and ignoring the contraptions banging into her as she moved to pepper kisses over both of the twins. The babies shrieked with happiness at her kisses and finally seeing their mother after such a long day at work. “What are these things?!” She asked with extra excitement to keep their excitement. They continued to giggle and shriek, Raven reaching out towards Keyleth to be held, Robin slapped at the table in front of her. Keyleth picked up Raven out of his toy as she stood.

“Vex thought it was imperative that they have these exersaucers, and that we have one for each of them. Got a surprise delivery today and put them together before Vex came up here herself begging to see them.” Vax laughed. “She’s been begging for a video all day, but I thought mommy deserved to see first.” He would have moved to greet her proper, but his way was currently blocked by his barely one year olds and their vehicles. Instead he reached to grab her bag and hang it on the coat hanger beside her.

“They’re so cute. And funny. But when they’re out running us I’m blaming her.” Keyleth cooed and balanced Raven on her hip as he cuddled into her. She attempted to wave Robin into the house.“Come on. Come inside.” Keyleth encouraged the twin still in the toy to go back into the living room and she happily bounced along.

“Oh certainly. Minxie is slightly terrified. They are much faster than when they crawl and they take up more space.” Vax laughed.

“Oh no my poor Minnie.” Keyleth pouted looking for the feline around the room but it seemed like she had excused herself. Robin started to fuss and reached out towards Keyleth who moved to take a seat on the couch. Robin, had learned quick and scooted her saucer closer to Keyleth allowing her to reach up and bring Robin into her lap as well. Vax dragged the second toy along behind him, ditching it in front of the couch.

“They’re even more adorable.” Vax chuckled meandering his way onto the couch beside Keyleth. “They’re gonna have legs like Grog.” He shook his head. There was a soft “mama” from one of the twins as they played with her hair.

“Yes my loves.” She replied giving either of them a kiss to the head and a tighter hug.

“They were both good today, very excited about their new toy. Im sure they’ll sleep well tonight.” Vax finally leaned in to give his wife a quick kiss to the lips. “I should probably go put dinner on. Do you have a preference?” Vax spoke softly as he stood.

“No preference. I’ll come help. Just give me a second.” Keyleth responded cocking her head towards to the toddlers clinging to her and Vax gave her a toothy smile.

“Take your time.” He replied heading to the kitchen. Raven watched as Vax exited the room and started fussing on Keyleth’s lap reaching out to they abandoned rollers. Keyleth carefully balanced both twins on her lap and reached over to grab the toy that was on the saucer and tried to hand it to Raven.

“Mr. Dino?” She offered but Raven only grunted and kept reaching out to the saucer, now trying to scoot on Keyleth’s lap. Keyleth giggled getting the idea and dragged it closer with her foot before placing him inside. Robin made a noise of interest as her twin bounced and started to scoot away before reaching out to the other toy. Keyleth placed the other twin in the other saucer and Robin scooted over to her brother before they both started scooting away.

“Where are you going?” Keyleth whispered, standing a little confused watching her toddlers scoot away down the hallway. She heard them start shrieking and chanting “Dada!” Before she heard Vax laugh. Ah yes, the kitchen.

and thats it bye

(kiki's delivery service! au)

“She should’ve been back hours ago,” Steve said, for about the hundredth time. He peered through a crack in the blinds out into the dark street like a creep. Nothing, still. They’d closed up the bakery as usual, to dissuade any potential customers, but had kept the lights on so that Max would know they were awake and waiting for her, so that she’d use the key they’d had made (This is for me?” She’d said, so shocked her eyes had gone big in her face and she'd looked exactly as young as she actually was) to let herself in and tell them how her first delivery had gone, whenever she finally fucking got back.

“You’re right,” Eddie agreed, joining Steve at the window, cinching up the blinds fully with a sharp jerk and squinting out into the dark. He’d tried to placate Steve for the last few hours, perched behind the counter with a book while Steve paced in endless circles (“This is her, like, witch adult rite of passage, we can’t treat her like a kid, and she’s so smart, she’s okay,” he’d said, watching Steve wear a groove in the shop floor.) But since the sun had gone down he’d gotten just as restless as Steve — clearly stuck on the same page in his book for the last hour, tapping out endless rhythms on the counter, fiddling with the radio.

“What should we do?” Steve said, getting frantic all at once now that Eddie had finally agreed with him, running his hands through his hair. “Do we call the police? No, I know, I know, they wouldn’t be able to fucking do anything,” he finished, seeing the look on Eddie’s face.

“We have the lady’s number, right? The one who asked her to do the delivery?” Eddie said, going behind the counter, opening all the drawers and ruffling through Steve’s very meticulously organized inventory notes and sales receipts and client records; Steve literally couldn’t care less, in that moment. “Maybe we can call her and she can call the house she was delivering to and tell us if she made it there —“

“Right right yes,” Steve said, finding Ms. Kelly’s number at last and going over to the phone and carefully beginning to dial, heedless of the fact that it was 10pm, when Eddie slapped first his back and then his arm and then the heavy receiver right out of Steve’s hand. “OW,” Steve started —

“She’s back, look, c’mon,” Eddie said, pulling at Steve, and through the open window Steve could finally see Max, just touching down, tucking her broom under her arm, Heathcliff the cat perched on her shoulder.

“Oh thank god,” Steve said, twining his fingers with Eddie’s, and they pulled the front door open and ran out into the street to meet her.

“Oof, hey—” Max said, when Steve collided with her, wrapping her in a hug.

“Thank god you’re okay, what the heck happened,” Steve said, pulling back so that Eddie could get his own hug in, running his eyes over her — messy hair, a rip in her dress, but back safe, all in one piece.

Max lit up. “It was crazy,” she gushed, while Heathcliff wound around her shoulders; Eddie started steering her inside. “We got hit by this huge gust of wind, and the toy cat fell out of the basket and I lost it, and then these crows tried to attack us, but the crows were friends with this nice girl who lives in the woods named Robin, who’s a writer, she’s so cool, and she fixed the real toy while Heathcliff pretended to be the toy, and—”

“Whoa, Red, hang on,” Eddie said, laughing, pushing her upstairs. “I think I’m gonna need you to slow down and start at the beginning—you want some hot chocolate? Steve?”

“Yes,” Steve said, following them up the stairs, knowing Eddie would be able to hear the please spike mine with our strongest liquor in his voice. “Meanwhile, I think we ought to get you a radio to take with you on deliveries, just in case this happens again — maybe one of those nice young nerds you made friends with can help? What’s his name? Lucas?” Steve said, faux innocent, while Max whipped her head around and glared at him.

“He’s not my friend, he’s a total stalker,” Max started, and while Heathcliff the cat wound around her ankles yodeling for milk and she went off on her tirade against the club of preteen boys who’d been trying to befriend her all week Steve just smiled at Eddie, over her head. Eddie looked back at him, just as fond and relieved and overwhelmed. We’re not her parents, Eddie had said, earlier, gentle with it, and Steve knew that — really, he did, that she had a family somewhere, that most likely Max was just passing through their lives, that they had no real claim to her. But, Steve thought, searching in the cupboards for the marshmallows he’d hidden away earlier that week, as long as she was here, with them, for however long that actually was, he’d make sure they were her port in the storm, the solid ground she needed, in order to kick off and zoom away on her broom, climbing higher and higher, up into the clear blue sky.

Fox Ears- 5

Previous | Next

CW: institutionalized slavery, pet whump, pet kitsunemimi, pet nekomimis, pet fairies, multiple pets

“It's time to wake up, fox. Come on, wake up.”

The fox’s eyes opened immediately at the order, although it was clear by looking at them that they were not yet conscious.

“Oh good, you're awake! Come on, it's time to get you ready. The Lady has already lain an outfit out for you to put on. I will be just outside the door. Let me know if you need any help, okay?” said the tabby nekomimi, leading Kitsu to Hiral’s large walk-in closet where an oversized red hoodie laid out with a matching tank top, a scrunchie, and some black leggings

Kitsu looked at them blankly before nodding slowly as their mind finally caught up with the fast-talking nekomimi’s words.

“Good! Alright, I'll see you soon!”

...

After getting dressed Kitsu opened the door quietly and peeked out.

“Hi!”

The fox jumped back in surprise, almost hitting their head on the doorframe.

“Aw, you look so cute! The Lady really does have the best sense of style, doesn’t she? Well, we best be getting you some breakfast, shouldn’t we? Follow me, I’ll take you to the kitchen!”

“What is your name?” asked Kitsu as they followed the cat quietly down the hallway

“I'm Abby! What about you? What's your name?”

“Kitsu.”

“That's a lovely name! Is it because you’re a kitsunemimi? That’s so cute! I wish I had a cute name like that. Did the Lady name you or did you come with that name?”

“Mistress Hiral named me.”

“Wonderful! The Lady really is the best at everything, isn't she? I bet there's nothing in the world that she can't do well. Isn't she just wonderful? I mean-”

“You're going to talk their ears off, Abby,” said Beau, appearing out of nowhere

Kitsu jumped again, nearly tripping over themself. Beau simply looked at them as the three of them entered the kitchen.

“Oops, sorry, Kitsu! I'm just so excited! We haven't had a new pet around for ages and you seem so cute and sweet and I just can't wait to get to know you and-”

Luna casually stuck a piece of bread into Abby’s open mouth.

“Hello, fox,” said the white-haired fairy, turning their wide and unsettling gaze to Kitsu

“Hello. What is your name?” asked Kitsu, too uncomfortable with everything else to be affected by Luna

“I am Luna and this is Sol,” they said, gesturing to the other fairy in the room, “What of you?”

“Kitsu.”

“We know that. They meant what do you want to eat?” said Sol, not looking away from what they were cutting

“Anything that is easiest, please.”

Luna grabbed a single piece of bread and offered it to Kitsu, “Your majesty.”

“Enough, Luna. Be nice. You know they're new,” said a tall nekomimi who was closely followed by two other nekomimis, “Hello, I am Cleo and this is Rusty and Kiki. And you are?”

“Kitsu.”

“It's a pleasure to- Rusty, get off the counter.” the orange nekomimi froze, a bottle of chocolate syrup in their mouth and a jar of jam in their hand, before slowly climbing down, “It's a pleasure to meet you, Kitsu. How have you been getting on? Everything is well, I hope?”

Kitsu’s mind quickly flashed to the night before, but she shook the memory out of her mind “Yes, thank you.”

Cleo watched Kitsu closely “Very good. Well then, let’s sit down to eat, shall we?”

Luna and Sol had just finished setting out the food and sat down. Rusty vaulted themself over Kiki and landed perfectly in their chair. Kiki looked deeply offended as they sat down politely next to Rusty. Abby sat next to Cleo, chatting all the while. Beau pulled out a chair for Kitsu, who blushed and thanked them.

Sitting at that table, surrounded by food and laughter, Kitsu felt themself relax, just a little.
