#griffon au

Oneshot Project: Which of these should I work on or would you wish for a WIP of? [If you wish to be tagged for a writing WIP reply/comment so, also feel free to send in asks if you want to know more about any of them]

Dragon Au Unreliable Narrators, curtesy of Tim, with semi-dark Batfam thanks to them well, not being human. Includes Jason getting dragged back home kicking and screaming and human Tim eventually also becoming dragon.

Living Armor Au Semi-modern fantasy Au thing, with the batfam being more than a little oblivious to the fact that their allies think they are people in armor, not supernatural creatures. This also leads to misunderstandings when Bruce mentions they're getting a new family member.

Merfolk Au Gotham's version of merfolk is like a specialized super predator. Or maybe that's just the Bats, because despite most of them being based off of not exactly aggressive or even large fish, they Can take off someone's hand. It also doesn't help that no one thinks to mention the fact that Gotham is the sea's Eldritch Dead Zone.

Griffon Au Mostly fluff and found family, and Bruce with his kids as young kids. Includes him desperately trying to convince them to do Anything other than vigilantism, Please, and them just laughing at him. Also includes Alfred in shorts during the winter because he's built different.

Kobold-Dog Au Batfam, but they're lizard dog people with apposable thumbs. Includes baby Damian and some inspiration from the kobold of german folklore as well.

Kitsune Au Magical batfamily who might just specialize in more illusionary magic? Yeah, and some of them even count as holy creatures. Also, as kitsune can act as mediums between the mortal and celestial? They might interact with a few ghosts. Also Sentient Gotham City.

Been reading about the monster AU and now I have one question. What is Langley and how does she act around the researcher? Gotta love the mommy.

Oh boy, I actually received quite a few thirsts about Langley as various monsters. They all sound super unique and I’ll answer them eventually, but if I were to label Langley as a certain kind of monster, I’d say she’d be a Griffin.

Griffins are half eagle, half lion monsters that guard treasure, and I think it’d fit Langley because not only does she have bird motifs (with Langley being represented as an owl sometimes) but Langley is someone who is very prideful in what she does. She is someone who is a leader and is protective, similar to a lion who leads a pride.

Griffin! Langley would be a very confident and bold monster, upon first setting her sights on the Researcher, I imagine she immediately takes an interest in her and swoops down to claim her. It leaves many of the monster women panicking as the Researcher is snagged into Langley’s arms and flown away. She isn’t afraid of confrontation, so even as many monster women chase her down, she’s all smug and curious, wondering if she could turn this cute little monster parade into her own personal pride 💕

P.S: Griffins are very protective over their treasures. While this mostly includes material things like gold and jewels, Griffin! Langley considers the Researcher to be her most prized treasure and adds her to her “nest.”

[welcome-to-clouds-cuckooland]

the bg3 companions in the mlp universe!! this also takes place in an au where they take the place of the mane six. details under the cut!

gaz'elle the griffon, element of loyalty - griffons serve their queen gaabith, who secretly practices dark magic. gaabith sealed away the only griffon destined to defeat her - prince gopherus - in an artefact, which has recently been stolen by lossan missives. gaz'elle is a young griffon who was tasked with finding this artefact. however, she along with many others were kidnapped and cursed by changelings, only able to narrowly escape with the help of a suspicious pony. she now has a mark on her front legs tying her to a mysterious force, as well as symbolizing the curse she shares with five others. her loyalty is intense and unwielding, and if anyone were to betray it, they will regret the day.

shadowheart the unicorn, element of magic - shadowheart is the only remaining lossan from the mission to retrieve a griffon artefact. not long after the mission, she was kidnapped by changelings, but somehow the artefact protected her from their magic. however, the changelings' curse on her remains, and she reluctantly had to take the help of a griffon to narrowly escape. lossans remove cutie marks and prevent them from being gained in their youth; since shadowheart was raised by her sect, she never got a cutie mark. not until she faces her destiny in the cursed shadowlands, and realizes that perhaps friendship isn't so terrible. after all, lost night isn't the only alicorn of the moon.

star fall the batpony, element of inspiration - star was once a pegasus, but he is now forced to hide his bat-like wings and sharp teeth and pretend to be an earth pony, generally wearing a cloak. as a batpony, he must feed on blood to survive, but he has never tasted the blood of anything that talks. his master, sharp mask, ordered him to lure them in and give them to him, and star never saw them again. one night while trying to escape again from sharp mask, he was kidnapped by changelings, and managed to slip away while two others made a chaotic escape. he is now marked with yet another curse, but if he plays his cards right, it could lead to his freedom. perhaps any heroism he finds along the way could inspire the freedom of other batponies, but that's pretty far-fetched, at least in his opinion.

swirling gale the unicorn, element of honesty - gale was the apprentice and lover of mystic melody the alicorn, until he made a grave mistake. he overestimated his magic power and tried to return a twisted piece of mystic's power to her, but instead this power was unleashed unto him, and he is forced to keep it inside of himself and feed it magic to keep it sated. mystic could not accept the truth, so he was banished from her. later, he was kidnapped by changelings, and only barely managed to escape with a mark of another curse. maybe he needs to start being a bit more honest to himself about his intentions.

wander ravenguard the earth pony, element of kindness - wander is the son of duke usher ravenguard, and was raised to someday lead baldur's gait. when he uncovered an evil plot that was forming amongst some dragons, he was offered power by mizora, an umbrum. he weighed his options and took the pact, trading his eye for the ability to vanquish evil foes. as consequence, his father deeply distrusted umbrums, and banished his son. much later, while wander was tasked to hunt down an evil umrbum, he was kidnapped by changelings, and narrowly managed to escape with a mark of their curse. he quickly found the umbrum he was hunting with the help of others who shared the mark, only to discover that she was actually a kirin, who had been similarly cursed by changelings. when he decided to spare her, his form was changed to resemble a monster, but wander is learning that the inside is what counts.

brimstone burn the kirin, element of laughter - brimstone was separated from other kirins when she was very young, and she was taken in by ember gambit, who she looked up to as an older brother. that was until he sold her to umbrums to fight in the crystal war, and her heart was replaced with an engine by a terrible spell. when changelings passed through the area, she saw her chance to escape; not without the changelings catching her and cursing her first, but she got out of there either way, even if she now has a weird mark. she's going to take every chance she can to enjoy her newfound freedom while she embarks on a fun quest to find a cure or whatever, while she still has the time. she has no idea how long she has, so she needs to make the most of it.

“Chick pawed at [Philza’s] feathers, though it was a rather ineffective preening technique.“Don’t worry, big man. Everyone thought your song was pretty.” [Philza] canted his head to the side, somewhat bemused. Did he really not understand what a Chorus was for? Well, clever as his Chick and Not-Chick were he supposed he couldn’t fault them if complex socio-politic mechanisms of Ravengence culture escaped them. It would be horribly difficult to try to explain it in their primitive tongue.”

yeah Phil, a real shame the 500 IQ Culture intricacies escapes the smooth brain of the plebeian normies (who think you are the equivalent of a clever dog).

More Griffon!Justice and Grey Warden Anders (bonus Pounce) XD

AU where after the... "Unexpected Incident", Anders ends up with undead griffon in tow.

Justice is mostly the same. Sorta. Inhabiting an animal is a little bit different experience. Memories and emotions are less complicated. But griffons were still highly intelligent creatures. He learns his host died gloriously in battle during a Blight (unsure when). Thus he still carries an intense fury towards darkspawn. But he's also... weirdly protective of His Grey War-- I mean, Rider, I mean Anders.

And he demands neck scratches now.

Also also Hawke now has to make a good impression on both of Anders' two... c-cats (?) before any ahem, electricity tricks, can happen.

Vergil Loving The Shit Out of His Wife

Even though she childish and bothers him to no end.

Loves getting a rise out of him at every opportunity.

Randomly kisses him but violently cringes whenever he gets back at her with sappy poetry or terms of endearment.

Also he’ll kill anyone who thinks of touching a hair on her head or re-directing their wrath onto her.

That raven that keeps messing with her potted peppers on the front porch though?

Vergil’s cool with them.
