Alternate universe where everything is the same, except a certain wet cat is now a... wet bat. Yep. I am so funny sometimes.

Despian Luluwalilith

"1 Level 4 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters Once per turn if a card(s) leaves the Extra Deck (except during the Damage Step): You can make all monsters you currently control gain 500 ATK (permanently), then you can negate the effects of 1 face-up card on the field, until the end of this turn. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Spellcaster monster from your hand or Deck whose ATK equals its own Defense.

Brooding

Hey guys! Before we start, I just wanted to let you all know that these are some characters I've been working on for a while and that I plan to make more stories with. Let me know what you think! Onto the debauchery!

CW for mpreg, eggs, and birth, 3000 words

The CF Osiris was home to a small team of shipping mercenaries. It was a cargo ship that would transport anything to any planet in the Galactic Union, for the right price. The team was made up of two humans named Julian and Rasha, a fluffy feathered Selan named Herf, am insectoid Ghitian named Kaiz, and Rax, a Despian.

Rax, Rasha, and Kaiz all had their own smaller ships parked in the docking bay of the freighter, and all the members shared bunks except for Rasha, who decided that she, as the leader of the group, deserved her own room. Rax and Julian shared a bunk, while Herf and Kaiz shared another in the next room over.

Everyone on the ship knew that Julian had a bit of a thing for Rax, everyone except for Julian. He refused to admit it, despite the fact that he'd been caught staring at Rax a dozen times, took every opportunity to partner with him on jobs, and even had a picture of the both of them saved on his datapad's "important files".

On this particular day, early in the morning, Julian was awoken suddenly by a loud thud on the floor in front of the bunk. He saw the door to the room open, but all he could see was a glimpse of a tail leaving the room. That was odd, the only person on board with a tail was Herf, and even then it was only some extra fluffy feathers. The tail Julian had seen was long and serpentine. Was he just seeing things?

He got up and grabbed his datapad from the bedside table and used it to shine a light into the hallway. A ways down he saw a figure, around 8 feet tall and with massive horns, with a blanket draped over its shoulders and the same serpentine tail he'd seen earlier. The creature turned its head towards the light and an expression of panic seemed to cross its face, and it quickly turned tail and ran for the docking bay.

Julian, afraid to go after it alone, knocked on Kaiz and Herf's door. He heard some shuffling, then the door opened to reveal Kaiz half dressed in her combat gear, likely about to start her morning training. She was about the same height as Julian, but on a much bonier frame, covered mostly in a chitinous exoskeleton. Her face was displeased.

Kaiz was the group's main guard, having been in the military on her home planet Ghitia before it joined the Union, after which much of their military was dissolved and she became a mercenary. She'd been hired by Rasha for a mission a few years back, and had just kind of stuck around since then.

"Kaiz, I think there's something on the ship," Julian whispered. "I saw it, it was this huge thing with horns and it was in my room, it went toward the docking bay and I think it might be trying to steal a ship or something."

Kaiz sighed and rubbed her face. "Okay hold on, let me check it out." She turned around and grabbed a Ghitian blaster from her room, and was about to close the door when Herf popped out from behind it, making Julian jump.

"Hey, I wanna see!" They chirped. Herf was a feathered, birdlike alien from Selao, and had had been recruited by Rasha for their piloting and mechanic skills. They were about six feet tall and bipedal, wore a mask to breathe in the oxygen-rich artificial atmosphere, and their body was covered in fluffy yellow and blue feathers. They were generally very chipper, upbeat, and innocent, and liked to make music in their free time. They were also the only one Kaiz actually enjoyed spending time with outside of work, despite being her polar opposite.

The three of them made their way to the docking bay, where they looked around for any signs of a break-in. There wasn't anything immediately popping out as suspicious, though, until they heard a grunt from next to Rax's ship. Julian shined his light in the direction of the noise and saw the creature hunched over next to the ship, a pained expression on its face.

"There it is!" Julian said, pointing to it. Kaiz started towards the creature, but it quickly ran into the ship and locked the door behind it.

Kaiz ran up and banged on the door. "Open up, thief!" she demanded, "Before I tear this door down!" She continued to beat at the door with both fists, and when it was evident it wasn't going to open, she pointed her blaster at it.

"What on earth is all that racket?" Rasha said. She was at the doorway to the docking bay, still in her pajamas, clearly having been woken up by Kaiz's attempts to get into the ship.

"Something's in Rax's ship," Julian said. "I don't know how it got in here, but it locked itself inside and won't come out."

"What exactly was it?" Rasha asked.

"It was huge! Super tall, and it had a tail and-" Rasha cut him off.

"Dark grey-black skin?" She asked.

"Uh- yeah, I think so?" Julian looked confused.

"Big, curved horns?" She looked almost annoyed now.

". . . How did you know?" He looked at Kaiz and Herf. Herf looked around and Kaiz pointed the gun back at the door.

"Kaiz, put the damn gun down! You guys can't be serious right now." Rasha pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Ok, what's going on?" Julian asked.

"What do you all think a Despian looks like?"

"Uh. . . a human kinda? With pointy ears?" He looked at the others again and they both shrugged. Rasha shook her head.

"You're all idiots. Despians are shapeshifters. Their default forms are large, grey, horned bipedals. Rax takes the form he does so he can fit through doorways, and so he doesn't scare people. And you've all been chasing him around why?" Rasha had a mixture of disappointment and frustration on her face.

"That was Rax?" Herf exclaimed. "I had no idea!"

Suddenly, they heard a yell from Rax inside his ship. He sounded like he was in pain. Rasha approached the door and knocked gently.

"Hey, you okay in there? Rax, talk to me, whats going on?" Her frustration had been replaced with a look of concern.

"G-go away! Now is really not the time!" Rax said. There was a waver in his voice, as if he'd been punched in the gut just as he started talking.

"You don't sound good. Do you need me to bring a medkit?" Rasha asked.

"No, I have everything I need in my shi-nngh!" They could hear a crash from inside the ship. "Just leave me alone!"

Julian stepped up to the door. "Rax, are you okay? Seriously, man, I'm sorry about earlier, but what's up with you?"

There was a pause before Rax spoke again. "Okay, fine. One of you can come in, preferably someone who isn't squeamish. The rest of you, go! I don't need this to be some spectator event."

There was a click as the door unlocked and opened, and Julian stepped into Rax's ship. He'd never been inside it before, and was surprised to see that everything was bigger than he expected. Likely made specifically for a larger race. To the left was the cockpit, and to the right was a living/storage space. There was a large piece of quilted cloth laid on the floor with a medical bag on it, and a large empty canister of some sort lying sideways next to it.

But it was what was on the other side of the ship's living area that caught Julian's eye. It was Rax himself, almost unrecognizable from his earlier form. But there was something else that was off about him, that Julian hadn't been able to see when Rax was draped in a blanket.

His abdomen was massive.

Rax laid a hand on his swollen belly, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He leaned on a shelf and grunted a bit before looking back at Julian. "What happened to you?" Julian asked.

"Nothing happened to me. This is completely-nngh-normal," Rax said, gripping his midsection as another cramp rolled through him. "All Despians go through a yearly breeding cycle, in human time it's about every eight months. We lay an egg if it hasn't been fertilized, and the process can be . . . difficult."

Rax had gone into labor earlier then he expected. He wasn't supposed to lay his egg for another week or so. But the beginning of his labor had forced him to revert back to his base form, and he'd woken the others in his scramble to get to his ship, where he kept supplies for dealing with his yearly egg.

But something was different about this one. it was much bigger, and harder to hide. he'd started wearing baggier clothes to hide it because there wasn't enough room in his humanoid form to keep it hidden. It couldn't have been been fertilized, and multiples were practically unheard of in Despians.

"So you're. . . pregnant?" Julian asked.

"No, I'm not pregnant. The egg is unfertilized, like I said. But it is a similar process of birth whether it's fertilized or not," Rax explained, taking a deep breath as he prepared for the next contraction.

It felt like his insides were being squeezed by an iron band. He slowly lowered himself onto the cloth on the floor and took a moment to get comfortable, and, after the contraction passed, reached into his medical bag and pulled out a scanner. He beckoned Julian over and handed it to him.

"I need you to scan me. Can you do that?" Rax said.

"Oh, uh, yeah, yeah sure, hold on, let me just. . ." Julian fiddled with the scanner for a moment before pointing it at Rax as a green beam came out of it. He scanned Rax's midsection and handed the scanner back to him. Rax looked at the screen and his face went pale. On the display were three white ovals.

"Oh no. Oh, no no no. This can't be happening," Rax began to panic. Julian crouched down next to him, unsure of what he was so freaked out about.

"What is it?" Julian asked. Rax looked at him, then moaned and clutched his belly again. The contractions were getting closer together, and it wouldn't be long now before he had to start pushing. The contraction eventually subsided, and he looked back at the human.

"There's three of them. There shouldn't be that many. Even twins are exceedingly rare on my planet, and I've never even heard of anyone having triplets. I've only ever had one egg at a time," Rax said.

Julian opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off but a sudden cry from Rax. His eyes had squeezed shut, and his teeth were clenched. He dropped the scanner as both of his hands flew to his egg-laden middle. Julian looked around, unsure of how he could help his friend. Rax groaned, and Julian could almost see the outline of the eggs inside of him. After a few moments, Rax's expression relaxed a bit.

"I need you to take my pants off," he said.

"W-what? Are you sure?" Julian stammered, and Rax nodded. Julian looked at Rax's legs. They were propped up and spread apart, and he was wearing a pair of baggy cloth pants. Julian scooted over and began to work at the waistband, and Rax moved his legs to try and help. After they'd been removed, Rax spread his legs back out and Julian caught a look at what was between them before quickly turning away as his face turned red. He shuffled back up to Rax's side, trying to avoid looking inappropriately.

Rax took a deep breath, winced as another contraction took hold of him, and clenched his teeth again. It was time to get these things out of him. He grunted as he began to push, holding his stomach with one hand. Julian held out a hand, and Rax took it, squeezing as he bore down. He let out a yelp as the first egg slipped forward through his pelvis, and approached his entrance. He took a moment to breathe as the contraction faded, and noticed Julian's eyes were hyperfixated on his belly. Rax didn't have time to think about this, however, as another contraction took over almost on top of the first one.

He bore down once again, and felt the egg begin to peek out. He kept pushing as it stretched him further, and at this point the contractions weren't letting up anymore. The egg continued to inch forward, bit by bit, until it reached it's widest point. His hole was stretched to its limit as the rest of the egg slipped all the way out.

The foot-long egg landed softly on the cloth, and Rax let go of Julian's hand and bent forward a bit to pick it up. He held it in one hand, and grabbed the canister that was on the floor next to him and put the egg into it. He put the canister down and was immediately hit with another contraction. He grabbed Julian's hand again and kept pushing.

The second egg came out a little faster than the first one, and he put it in the canister. The third egg, however, proved to be a bit more difficult. It was coming out upside down, meaning Rax was going to have to push a lot harder to get it out. He bore down with a yell, curling forward over his abdomen, now significantly smaller. The egg began to peek out, and after a few minutes of pushing, reached a crown, and practically flew out of him.

Rax flopped back against the wall, exhausted. It was finally over. The eggs, as well as there being three of them, had been bigger than usual. Normally his eggs were pretty average, about eight or nine inches long. He had no idea why this cycle had been different, but he didn't have the energy to think about it further before he passed out.

Julian panicked, but after a moment realized that Rax was probably just tired, and there wasn't any blood or anything, so he was most likely okay. He picked up the egg and put it in the canister he'd seen Rax put them into, then covered Rax's bare legs in a blanket. He grabbed the scanner from earlier and scanned him just to make sure he was okay, and the scan didn't show anything worrying, just that he was a bit dehydrated.

Julian opened the door to the ship and found Kaiz and Herf still in the docking bay. It'd been about an hour since Rax had told them to leave, but they were still worried about all the yelling coming from inside the ship. "What happened?" Herf asked.

"I think Rax could probably explain it better than me, but. . . he's okay," Julian said, looking back at the ship. "I'm gonna go grab a few things. Leave him be for now, I think." He left the docking bay and went to grab a water bottle, some of Rax's nutrient bars, and another blanket. He came back to the ship and draped the second blanket over Rax's shoulders, and set the bars and water on a table on the other side of the room. He was going to stay until Rax woke up, just to make sure he was totally okay.

It was a couple hours later when Rax groaned and opened his eyes. He saw Julian sat next to him against the wall, asleep, and saw the food and water he'd left on the table. Rax was sore, but mostly fine. He slowly pulled himself up and and took the water bottle, downing it and going for one of the nutrient bars. They tasted mediocre, but egg laying always took a lot out of a Despian and he needed the calories. He decided to leave Julian be for now so he could clean himself up, and used his ship's shower to do so. After he'd washed himself off and changed into fresh, not-sweaty clothes, He shoved the soiled cloth from the floor into a plastic bag to wash when they got to their destination, a small backwater planet where they were to pick up a delivery from a client.

After getting everything straightened out, Rax gently shook Julian's shoulder. Julian sat up and looked Rax up and down, surprised he was up so soon. "Are you okay?" Julian asked.

"Oh I'm fine. A little sore, but I've been worse. What about you?"

Julian looked at his hand, a bit bruised from Rax's grip during his labor. "Eh. Not that bad," he said.

Rax gently grabbed his hand. "Oh my gods, did I do that? I'm so sorry!" he inspected Julian's hand for anything broken. Despians were known to be incredibly strong, and he was surprised he hadn't broken Julian's hand.

"Hey, don't apologize, it's fine, really!" Julian said, and felt his face get hot at Rax holding his hand. Rax noticed and blushed a bit himself before quickly letting go of Julian's hand.

"Well, we should probably get going! I'm sure the others might be a little worried!" Rax said, stepping towards the door. He suddenly became much shorter, his skin changed to a light grey, and his horns and tail disappeared. He quickly left the ship, still a tad flustered. Julian followed behind.

There was one thing that kept eating at the back of Julian's mind, though.

He'd discovered a new kink.

@ygoc-week Day 3: Decks

I wanted to sketch something for each of my ocs with their aces but unfortunately i passed out last night so i'm just going to chuck the actual card beside a picture of them, lol

Image heavy post below!

Starting off with the Synchro Dimension, Hamelin uses a Yang Zing deck, and has two "secret roommates" (read: pet rats) that she named after Ba Xia and Jiaotu, her two main Extra Deck Aces.

She switches gears to Magikeys when in her Phantom Thief persona, who has a deep grudge against...

Jackie, who uses Swordsouls, an archetype that carries much meaning to her. Her belt is based on QXYL's sword(?)tail(?) and her unwavering devotion to an estranged childhood friend makes her a worthy wielder of the sword the card is based on, which represents integrity.

Jackie works for Fleur, who uses Aromages. As someone who is very at home behind a chessboard, she doesn't like dueling that much as it has too many uncontrollable factors, such as luck.

Moving to the Standard Dimension, first up is Cider and her Myutants! What? Her duel disk? Oh, that's because she's originally from [REDACTED]

Weird, how did we end up in the Xyz Dimension? Anyway, Alcidis uses Witchcrafters, and before you ask me how he Xyz summons with this deck, my answer is that he splashes in Dogmatika cards from his bestie:

Arte, who uses Dogmatika! When she duels, it's like a switch flips, and she looks a lot like her brother... It scares her teacher, because it reminds him of a very unpleasant memory...

Viol used Mermails during the war, but after the events of the show he upgrades his ace from Abyss Dweller to a... custom monster... that I haven't designed yet lmao sigh one day i will

Back in Academia, Faye and Fence shared a Dream Mirror deck, each memorising one side of the deck as they struggled too much to memorise and use a single deck by themselves. After they moved to Standard, Fence picked up Normal Pendulums and Faye uses a custom Xyz archetype that lets her transform like her favourite masked riders!

(Above art by @mechaseraph go throw money at them you won't regret it)

Last but not least, Fuschia with his Despians! He picked it because he loves red and purple, but more importantly, he found the love of his life... Aluber the Dogmatic. Yeah, he's one of those weirdos with a duel monster crush (same tbh)

He'd never admit he had a crush on Aluber during the events of ARC-V, but post-canon he unabashedly has a giant poster of him (pictured above) in his room.

死の舞台で闇と光こそ栄える… 答え探し道はここに途絶える！ 融合召喚！レベル⑧ デスピアン・クエリティス!

Upon this stage of death¹, darkness and light² alike thrive… Your path for answers³ ends here! I fusion summon! Level 8 Despian Quaeritis!

Did I make a summon chant in japanese too because i could yeah i may be cringe but at least im free

[1] Despia is a portmanteau of 'death' and 'thespian'. [2] His ace's fusion materials requires one Despian monster and a LIGHT or DARK monster. [3] Despian Quaeritis is named after quem quaeritis i.e. Whom do you seek? It's a question Fuschia often asks his quarry during the war. (And then he cards them all together after helping them reunite)

Yugioh Rants: Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous

I've been playing a lot of yugioh lately on master duel and in particular the "Bystial Runick" deck. It's all quite fun but I'd like to highlight the gameplay and story integration going on with one card in particular, not even the best in the deck but possibly my favorite:

This is Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous and she's one of the best designed Yugioh cards I've seen.

So, first off, story background. Cartesia is a corrupted/brainwashed/evilified version of "Ecclesia", a girl featured across many cards in the Albaz/Branded storyline. Important for our discussion here is that Ecclesia is good friends with Dogmatika Fluerdelis / The Iris Swordsoul, and very close adventuring partners/love interest of "The Fallen of Albaz". Along the way they're opposed at first by the more villainous Dogmatikas, then later the Bystials and Despians as well. More under the break, this post is quite long.

Like a lot of modern Yugioh cards Cartesia has a paragraph on her so we'll take it piece by piece. First, her basic stats and name (yes that has a gameplay effect):

Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous Light Attribute | Lvl 4 1500 ATK / 1500 DEF Spellcaster / Tuner / Effect

Cards in Yugioh are grouped into archetypes by strings in their names. Notable here is that Cartesia doesn't belong to any of the Albaz storyline archetypes specifically; she assists lots of the villain ones, but she's not technically a member. Being specifically a "LIGHT Spellcaster monster whose ATK equals its own DEF", she can be special summoned by the graveyard effect of Despian Luluwalilith, the corrupted form of Iris. The two still have a bond despite what's happened to them.

Finally, being a lvl 4 Tuner means she can be used to Synchro summon. With a level 6 monster (like all of the Bystials) she can be used to summon "The Bystial Dis Pater", that archetype's extra deck boss monster. With a level 8 monster however, she can be used to summon Despian Luluwalilith. You know who's level 8? All of the Fusion monsters Albaz forms. So already she combos very nicely with the hero and villain cards from the storyline. On to her effects.

If you control "Fallen of Albaz" or it is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

This one's fun. Cartesia does her best work on the field and this gets here there, but it does so based on where Albaz is. It works to show that she still has feelings towards Albaz even in her current state. Instead of her interacting with Aluber, The Bystial Aluber has a name-replacement effect that makes his name count as "Fallen of Albaz" under most situations; she has feelings for Albaz, but Aluber's tricked her and redirected her to work with him.

During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Fusion Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as material.

Albaz's deck/playstyle revolves around fusion summoning and Cartesia facilitates that. Fusions have some inherent weaknesses, and Cartesia working the way she does helps mitigate them. The "Level 8 or higher" restriction just allows her to make all of Albaz's dragon forms. Special mention here to one specific target she can make, Granguignol the Dusk Dragon:

This card has a lot going on but worth noting is the clasped hands on the dragon's neck; concept art calls them "hands of the holy maidens", and indeed Ecclesia was one of the holy maidens of Dogmatika before the story started. As for effects, Gran-Guginol can send one of your cards from the extra deck to the GY, an effect very in-theme for the Dogmatikas!

Going back to Cartesia, she has one more effect and a restriction:

During the End Phase, if a Fusion Monster(s) was sent to your GY this turn: You can add this card from the GY to your hand.

You can only use each effect of "Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous" once per turn.

The restriction is nothing too notable; it's a standard "Hard Once Per Turn" effect done to prevent silly infinites and the like (This isn't MtG!). The last effect is notable. Albaz's fusions often send themselves or other fusions into the GY, and doing so lets you recover Cartesia for follow-up plays.

As for her art, Cartesia's dress uses the diamond pattern seen on Aluber's various cards and a vareity of Despians. So you know she's evil now (her bust size has also increased mysteriously). All in all, she's an evil form of a well known and caring person. While she's working for the bad guys, she still has in her heart her love for her friends, and her effects reference that. Even without any flavor text she's one of the most flavorful cards I think I've seen. In passing, I'll note the parallels between these two cards (Branded Regained and Branded Bond), one of her evil form helping Bystial Druiswurm and one of her non-corrupted form helping Albion, one of Albaz's dragon forms.

Was reminiscing a bit about all the decks ive used over the years in yugioh.

Of course in the earlier days I mostly played the game with my brothers or in Kaiba the revenge, so a lot of anime character inspired decks or more of a mix mash of whatever good cards we had.

First set I bought for myself was the zombie world structure deck, because I thought red-eyes was the coolest monster. And zombies have always been a deck type I have come back to every now and then, and does hold a special place in my heart because of the relevant that Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon has to me on a sentimental level.

I remember it was on a big outing to this shopping center with my whole family when me and one of my brothers saw one place was selling yugioh cards, he bought I believe the monarch structure deck and I bought Zombie World (but I do not remember which one he bought, timeline wise and such).

Seeing red-eyes zombie dragon on the cover is a weirdly vivid memory in my mind. I also remember it was the first time I ate different kinds of dried fruit was that day.

Later on when I was getting into playing it more seriously around the time of arc-v I had a few decks I got pretty attached to, DDD, odd-eyes... and the one I stuck with for the longest, Shaddolls.

Because Shaddolls can work in so many fun different variants splashed together with other archetypes and it makes them sort of timeless in a way. I fell of the game for a while after arc-v though and only got back into it with....

The abyss storyline! So Albaz and Ecclesia and stuff, the card storyline. This one I got really into because loving the artworks and the story they depicted, dragging me back into the game and causing me to pick up master duel. So naturally I used archetypes from that, Dogmatika and Tri-brigade were both great and I did play both for a while... but the one I got really attached to was despians, who also worked well with my beloved shaddolls.

I did so many variants of despian decks around this time, but my favorite came with the tearlaments release, doing a weird hybrid shaddoll/despian/tearlament deck which was so much fun to play. It was a tossup between that and despian/bystial with me swapping between them regularly. That was probably one of my favorite formats to play in to be honest (I could not do a proper tearlament hybrid irl because a lot of the needed cards were... pricy).

All in all if I was a yugioh anime character, or I were to make an OC for a roleplay or fanfic or something, id prolly have to pick either a red-eyes zombie dragon variant, the el-shaddolls or one of the albaz fusions for "boss monster".

Probably go for zombies since the other two are connected to card storylines, which is a thing I like with the game but something that can make it a bit awkward for being a specific character´s deck in some sense. Plus I think one could do some neat things with how it is a "corrupted" red-eyes for characterization purposes, not by going for the usual "evil" association of zombies but more in a... this character is someone who has had to claw their way up to where they are, suffering so many "scars" for it. And that reflecting in their scarred and wounded ace monster. A dragon that one can say has lost its majesty but it rises back up determined no matter how many times it is struck down.

Anyway I think Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and it´s later variants are really cool cards.

[reversemoon255]

The last cards I order finally arrived, so I thought I'd take a moment to share my completed Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. This is my

Theseus Toolbox V11

Named as such because this deck is seventeen years old. It's my old Utopia ZeXal Weapon deck I built back in high school, and I've just slowly replaced cards, chunks, and engines over the years until we've gotten to this point here. The Ship of Theseus and all that.

The previous version of the deck (V10.1.2) ran 3 Rescue Rabbit, 3 Magicalibra, and 2 Aqua Madoor, which were mainstays of the deck for a long time, but I finally dropped them, and since I dropped all the cards that required dupes, it allowed me to make a deck where every Monster is single-copy, which is something I've wanted to do for a while. It's probably my favorite version of the deck I've had for a few years. And to list off what's in it, we have:

(Main Deck) 1X Albaz the Ashen 1X Bystial Magnamhut 1X Carnot the Eternal Machine 1X Centur-Ion Atrii 1X Centur-Ion Gargoyle II 1X Centur-Ion Primera 1X Centur-Ion Trudea 1X Dark Hole Dragon 1X Diabellstar the Black Witch 1X Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous 1X Guiding Quem, the Virtuous 1X Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted 1X The Iris Swordsoul 1X Dogmatika Maximus 1X Dream Absorber 1X Summoner Monk 3X Dark Hole 1X Harpie's Feather Duster 3X Nadir Servant 1X Sinful Spoils Deception 1X That's 10! 1X Azamina Ofeiletis 1X Called by the Grave 1X Double or Nothing! 3X Emblema Oath 3X Spell Card "Monster Reborn" 1X WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils 1X Stand Up Centur-Ion! 1X You're Finished 1X Centur-Ion True Awakening

Interspecies Surrogacy: It's a Thing (part 1)

This is mostly fluff, but cw for pregnancy. I've never written fluff before, so let me know what yall think! (1600 words)

Rax was lounging in his ship, reading some news feeds from his home planet, when a knock rang from the door. He put down the datapad and quickly shifted back to a humanoid form.

"It's unlocked, what is it?" He called. The door slid open to reveal Rasha, his boss. She ran the Cargo Freighter Osiris, a ship that would transport anything or anyone, anywhere, for the right price. They mostly did normal and unassuming deliveries, but they weren't opposed to a few deals that were less than ordinary here and there. As far as Rax knew, Rasha had been speaking with a client about a more unorthodox delivery that they wanted to commission the Osiris team for, though usually Rax wasn't involved in the more administrative parts of the process until the finalization of everything.

"The client needs to speak to you, Rax. Apparently what he wants is something only a Despian can do," Rasha said. Rax groaned. People always looked for Despians for their weird depraved nonsense because of their shapeshifting abilities, and there weren't many around, so he wouldn't be surprised if this one was just looking to hire him for something personal.

He followed Rasha out of the ship bay, through the halls, and into her office. Most of their business was done here on the freighter, and one could go about most of their day without leaving. Rax sat next to the clients, two reptilian Jinneri, in Rasha's office, and she sat in her chair behind her desk. A male and a female, they wore long robes and Jinneri breathing masks, and sat very close to each other. Rax wasn't expecting a couple, but the answer would probably be no regardless.

"Okay, so what exactly did you want Rax for that you couldn't tell me?" Rasha asked. Rax prepared for whatever nasty thing they'd ask him to do.

"Well, you see, there aren't many other Jinneri around, and we've been having . . . fertility issues," the male said. "My wife has been unable to carry, and we haven't been able to find a surrogate, but we heard that Despians can carry almost any species, so we were hoping that you could help us."

Rax frowned. "Okay, well that wasn't the direction I thought this was going to go, but absolutely no-"

"Five million credits."

Rax blinked. "What?"

"We'll give you five million credits. We have an egg ready to go, and we'll pay you entirely up front." The female said.

Rax sat for a moment. That was a lot of credits. With that much money, he could send some home for his family and have tons left over so he could buy an actual home rather than just living inside of his ship. He didn't think he'd ever come across this kind of money in his life, but here they were, handing it to him on a silver platter.

But was it worth it? He pulled out his datapad and did a few quick searches to get the general gist of a Jinneri pregnancy. It was fairly short, only about four months, and pretty straightforward. A female would lay an egg, then the egg would be fertilized, then implanted in either the male or female parent to hatch and incubate. Some chose to do two at a time, one in each parent. It wouldn't be too long, but it would be a little difficult.

After a few minutes, Rax finally responded.

"Alright, I'll do it."

. . .

After all the paperwork had been settled, doctors visited, the whole nine yards, it was finally done. Rax was back on the Osiris after having the small egg surgically implanted into him. He would have regular meeting with Unu and Irn, the Jinneri couple, and a doctor. For the next few weeks, the egg would grow rapidly and hatch inside of Rax, and then keep growing until it was ready to be born.

Rax ran his fingers over the little bulge in his belly. He'd squeezed himself into his bunk in his regular form, which was far more comfortable to be pregnant in, so he'd learned. Julian was playing a game on the bottom bunk. Rax heard the game pause, some creaking, and a head popped up to his bunk.

"So, five million credits huh?" Julian asked.

"Mm-hm," Rax nodded.

"Soooo . . . what does it feel like?" Julian said. "Like a normal Despian egg, or . . .?"

"Kind of? But more like there's a rock stuck in there, honestly. Despian eggs generate heat, but Jinneri are born cold-blooded, so it's sort of weird. Like it sucks up the warmth. I'll probably get used to it," Rax said. He looked over to see Julian staring at the little lump. "Whatcha looking at?"

Julian flushed bright red. "Uh-"

"You wanna feel?" Rax held his hand out.

Rax didn't think a human could get any redder, but they continued to surprise him. Julian placed his hand in Rax's, who guided it down to his lower stomach. Julian felt the bulge of the egg, about the size of a cantaloupe.

"So, I was thinking, since I'm gonna be taking it easy for a bit, wanna hang out on my ship later tonight?" Rax asked. He'd been meaning to ask Julian for a while. He'd had a bit of a thing for him for ages, and after the whole egg fiasco a few weeks ago, he figured Julian might too. Might as well shoot his shot.

Julian stuttered a bit, and lifted his hand off of Rax's belly. "U-uh sure, what did you want to do?"

"I got some games and and old Coriskian tablet with a bunch of old movies and junk on it," Rax said.

"Oh, cool. I heard those movies were super dumb but really funny," Julian said.

"Alright, meet me at the ship at 16:00, yeah?" Rax shimmied to the side and hopped off the bunk to go tidy up his ship.

. . .

Rax and Julian watched the projector from opposite sides of the seat. They were on a cushioned bench built into the wall of the ship, watching one of the Coriskian movies about some nuclear power plant that turned into a monster. Apparently weird nuclear mutation films were a universal genre. Julian munched popcorn, which he'd told Rax was a common human movie snack, and Rax idly traced circles around the egg with his thumb.

Rax glanced over, and Julian quickly snapped his head towards the projection, having been caught staring. Rax cracked a small smile and snuck his tail over towards Julian's side of the bench, before curling it around his back. Julian turned beet red. Rax scooted over a bit, and used his tail to coax Julian closer until they were hip to hip. Rax put an arm around Julian's shoulders and nabbed a few pieces of popcorn. Julian, still redder than Rax could ever imagine, leaned over onto him a little bit.

They stayed like that for a while before Julian decided it was his turn to get bold and put a hand on Rax's abdomen. Rax wrapped his tail tighter around Julian's waist, and soon they were practically on top of each other. It was awkward for a long moment before the two looked at each other, and their faces drifted closer, until-

BANG!

Neither of them had been paying any attention to the movie, and a loud noise from it caught them off guard. They sat in silence for another few moments before Julian finally spoke.

"Oh what the hell." Julian grabbed Rax's face and pulled it to his and kissed him. Rax took a moment to fully process what was going on, and kissed him back.

A knock at the ship door a few minutes later forced Rax and Julian to untangle themselves from each other. Rasha opened the door, saw the boys' ruffled hair and clothes, and immediately closed it again.

"Ah- wait, Rasha!" Rax ran to the door and opened it back up. "What did you need?"

"I was just gonna say that the checks from the last job are coming in tomorrow but you guys are finally having a thing so I'll leave you to alone," Rasha said, and turned to leave the docking bay.

Rax let her go, and reentered his ship to see Julian smoothing out his hair a little bit. He sat back down next to Julian and leaned back onto him. Julian leaned back, still feeling a bit awkward, before Rax practically tackled him and continued where they left off.

They didn't really go any farther than that, just kissed with the movie in the background, but it was enough for the both of them. They laid on the bench, and Julian held one hand on Rax's belly and the other on the back of his neck. Rax was on top of him, his tail around Julian's waist. They stayed there until the end of the movie, when Rax finally broke away.

"You know, i-it's getting pretty late," Julian said.

"Wanna sleep in here with me? I have a bed mat I can set up and we can have a little sleepover," Rax said. He got up and ran over to a shelf, and pulled out a big roll of springy blue foam.

Julian smiled. "Yeah, let's have a sleepover."

Once they'd gotten themselves situated on the mat, Rax turned to Julian. "So, Rasha said we were having a 'thing.''

"Are we having a thing?" Julian asked.

"I don't know, I've never had a thing before."

"Well I'd like it to be a thing, what about you?" Julian inched his hand closer to Rax's.

"Why not? I guess if that's what it is, then it's a thing." Rax put his hand on Julian's.

"Are you sure you want a thing with me, though? I mean, Despians are cool shapeshifters and I'm just a plain old human," Julian said.

"Dude, you literally watched me give birth without flinching. I think I want a thing with you." Rax smiled

"Then I guess it's a thing."
