My OCs

TW: towards the end there are mentions of a lesbian being outed, homophobia, murder, kidnapping, child experimentation, and trauma.

So, for a while I've had a group of OCs that are, like my main characters. Not just one or two either. Basically what I'm posting here is the bases for my OCs. So, whenever I go to write a story with them, i start with this and then change their personalities and backstories as needed. I figured I could put that basic information here and ask the tumblrverse to send me questions and stuff about these characters. This is so I can deepen their characterisation. They're not limited to a high school setting. That's just so I have some frame of reference for a timeline for these characters. Some have more information than others, because some of these characters I've had longer.

Also, if any of you have read or do read my Girl meets World x OCs story, the Serena Willis and Mason Lane in that story will probably have different personalities to the Serena and Mason described here, because they're in the Girl Meets World universe.

You'll see most of them kinda revolve around each other. These characters weren't made for a specific story. They're almost placeholders. They just kinda exist in my head and jump into any scenario i need. So here is the most basic barebones information about each. It's not a lot of information.

Hayley Riley is a bisexual woman who has blonde hair, hazel eyes, and caramel-colored skin. She is confident, though cold, distant, and uncaring at times. She is playful and sarcastic around her friends and is a good listener who gives good advice. She is protective and the most likely to get into a physical fight, though her words can be just as hurtful. Hayley can be very guarded around people she doesn't know well. She is attracted to both men and women, with a preference for someone's personality over their appearance.

Teagan Jane (TJ) Smith is an energetic, outgoing, tomboyish girl who is playful and enjoys pranking people. She is protective of close friends, romantic partners, and family members. She is a lesbian and doesn't get along well with her homophobic mother, though she has a very good relationship with her dad. She is clumsy and has red hair and grey eyes.

Alice Michaelis is Teagan Jane Smith's (TJ's) best friend. The three have been friends since they were five years old. Alice is fairly quiet but confident, graceful, and loves reading, especially fantasy books. She is polite, friendly, and distant unless around her friends, family, or romantic partners, with whom she is more playful. She is smart, peaceful, sweet, and caring, and the least likely to physically fight someone, preferring to use her words. She is attracted to men and women. Alice has dark blue hair, light blue eyes, pale white skin, and a gothic, doll-like appearance.

Ryder is an emo who has been friends with Hayley, Alice, and TJ since middle school. He's very guarded, moody, and sarcastic towards most people, but can be slightly more open and playful with his close friends and twin brother, Oliver. He's protective of his friends and Oliver and is willing to fight, like Hayley. He's also the second most likely to fight in the group. Ryder is attracted to both men and women but doesn't engage in casual hookups or dating just for the sake of it. He has black hair, blue eyes, pale white skin, and an emo look and style.

Aiden has been friends with Hayley, TJ, and Alice since middle school. He is friendly, responsible, and the voice of reason in the group. Aiden is the peacekeeper, keeping the more chaotic members of the group from going too far. He is the best listener and the best at giving advice. He’s protective but less likely to physically fight than the rest of the group, except Alice. He prefers to deescalate conflict, both within the group and outside it, and is unlikely to be actively rude or mean on purpose. Aiden is smart, kind, and one of the more open and trusting members of the group. He has light brown hair and brown eyes. Aiden is also the most athletic and sporty member of the group.

Mason is the final member of the friend group of Hayley, TJ, Alice, Ryder, and Aiden. He joined the group last, moving to the small town they live in during their freshman year of high school (or equivalent age in non-high school settings). Mason is very energetic, outgoing, playful, and jokey. He is the biggest prankster of the group and often teams up with TJ to prank the others. Mason is the most rebellious member of the group but is not mean or rude. He is the most open and trusting member, friendly to anyone who isn’t actively being mean to him or his friends. Mason is the “golden retriever” friend—energetic, slightly forgetful, and airheaded but not completely dumb. He has green eyes and his hair is naturally dark brown, but he dyed it purple with Alice's help. Alice naturally has blonde hair, which she dyes dark blue.

Reece is the golden boy of the school, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He's very athletic and is the captain of the football team. He's also very smart and one of the top students in every class. Reece is rich and popular, known for his kindness and friendliness towards everyone. He's always willing to help others and is often tasked with showing new students around the school. He used to be friends with Hayley, TJ, Alice, Ryder, and Aiden in middle school but gradually stopped hanging out with them as much before high school. They are still civil with him, but he's no longer really part of their friend group. He briefly dated Hayley in middle school, but they mutually broke up, deciding they were better as friends. He currently dates the golden girl of their school, Everley.

Everley is the golden girl of the school, with blonde hair and green eyes. She's very athletic and the captain of the cheer squad. She's also very smart and one of the top students in her school. Everley is rich, popular, kind, and friendly. She's always willing to help and take on additional responsibilities. She was never a member of Hayley, Alice, TJ, Ryder, and Aiden's friend group. Everley is currently dating Reece.

Serena Willis is the best friend of Reece and Everley. She has black hair and blue eyes. She's rich, athletic, and smart, like Reece and Everley, but isn't as friendly or helpful. Serena can be mean, rude, and snobby at times. She is a closeted bisexual who pretends to be straight and is also fairly cunning. Serena used to be friends with Hayley, Alice, TJ, Ryder, and Aiden but gradually stopped talking to them, like Reece. Serena and Reece have been friends practically all their lives as their parents were also friends. Serena used to have a secret crush on Hayley in middle school but never told anyone. She is currently dating Jason McCall. Serena is the vice captain/co-captain of the cheer team when in a high school setting.

Ryder and Oliver are identical twins with a close brotherly relationship but have very different personalities and friend groups. While Oliver is polite and friendly towards Ryder's friends, Ryder is much more dismissive of Oliver's friends and doesn't really talk to them. When he does interact with them, Ryder treats them similarly to how he treats anyone who isn't Hayley, TJ, Alice, Aiden, Mason, Oliver, Serena, or Reece—sarcastic, moody, kind of rude, and generally uninterested in talking to them. Oliver has the same black hair, blue eyes, and pale white skin as Ryder, but his style is much less emo. Oliver is more open and friendly, outgoing, nice, and popular. He has a much cheery disposition compared to his moody brother. Oliver generally likes people and is not rude, mean, or moody. He can be playful but isn't really sarcastic. He's more likely to light-heartedly tease and joke than make witty remarks or sarcastic quips. Oliver is one of the nicer members of his own friend group, being the second nicest. Oliver is athletic and on the football team.

Jason McCall is the popular bad boy and heartbreaker/player of the school/town. He's very flirty, playful, and confident. Jason is also athletic and is on the football team. He is dating Serena and is friends with Oliver, Ryder's twin brother. He has a twin sister named Jasmine, who is also in his friend group. Jason has a rebellious streak and can be cruel at times. He is attracted to both men and women but only dates women, as he doesn't want anyone to know he likes both. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes, and is muscular and athletic looking.

Jasmine McCall is Jason's twin sister and is friends with Jason and Oliver. She's very much the popular, cool girl—cool, calm, and collected. Jasmine is friendly towards most people and can be a flirt, mostly with guys but occasionally with girls. She's a loyal and trustworthy friend and sister who jokes around a lot and can be sarcastic. Jasmine tends to hide her emotions unless she's around her friends. She is generally nice but can be a bit mean and manipulative when she feels threatened by or jealous of someone. Jasmine has dark brown hair and grey eyes. She is on the cheer team when in a high school setting, making her quite athletic.

Carson is friends with Jason, Jasmine, and Oliver. He's a flirt and a heartbreaker who doesn't care about his partner's gender and is unashamed about his heartbreaker ways. Carson is very confident, chill, and relaxed. He doesn't really care about anyone who isn't his family or friends but remains popular due to his charisma, charm, and humor. He's protective of his friends and is very playful and jokey around them. Carson is on the football team and has light brown hair and green eyes.

Carly and Melissa are friends with Jasmine, Jason, Oliver, and Carson. Carly and Melissa are also cousins.

Carly is an outgoing, bubbly, girly girl who loves hanging out with and meeting new people. She loves fashion, gossip, and makeup. Carly is very sweet and friendly, being the nicest member of the friend group. She is a massive social butterfly and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Melissa, her cousin, has black hair and green eyes. Melissa is not as girly as Carly and is the biggest rebel of their group, though she isn't really mean. She is sarcastic, playful, and sassy. Melissa is protective of her friends, especially Carly, and can be quite distant and cold toward those she doesn't know well.

Both Carly and Melissa are athletic, popular, and on the cheer team. They have a close relationship as cousins.

Yes, most of these characters are attracted to both, this is mostly for shipping purposes, so I can have them get with anyone.

Additional information:

I go back and forth on the reason, like whether it's just rich girl problems or more traumatic and it generally depends on the story, but Hayley's parents aren't really around a lot and her house is the one they usually have, like, sleepovers at her house and stuff.

In a supernatural world they are the following:

Hayley is a vampire witch hybrid (born a witch, turned into a vampire)

TJ is a demon

Alice is a fallen angel

Ryder and Oliver are vampires

Aiden is a werewolf.

Mason is a magic user (Witch/Wizard/Sorcerer, either way he was born with magic)

Jason and Jasmine are werewolves because Teen Wolf + McCalls = I now have to make the McCall twins werewolves.

Carly is a witch werewolf hybrid (mum's a witch, dad's a werewolf, born both)

Melissa is a witch vampire hybrid. (Mum is Carly's mum's sister and also a witch, dad is a vampire. In my suprenatural AU, Vampires can be either born or turned but it is hard for vampires to have children and so most vampires are turned, not born)

I haven't really decided what Carson, Serena, Everley and Reece are. Kinda like the idea of Serena being a siren or mermaid but, like, in a H2O just add water way, where they can walk on land but if it rains bam, mermaid tail, because that's comedy folks.

Everley, Reece and Carson I don't know. I kinda want them to be something I haven't mentioned here. I'll probably do some supernatural research to find something, maybe in the faefolk area for Everley and Reece? I don't know. I feel like i used to think of Carson as a werewolf vampire hybrid but i have enough werewolf and vampires so i think I'll change that after some research.

I tagged them with first and last names. Anyone not with a last name I haven't decided yet. I'm sure i did think if last names for all of them but I can't remember some of them.

Sometimes I make the fallout between Serena and the others messy with the backstory that Serena outed TJ as lesbian, which resulted in TJ's mom kicking her out and living with Hayley instead.

that's not always canon though

TJ does usually end up living with Hayley either way.

Hayley's parents (if they're alive) are cool with TJ living with them.

Whenever I think of them with superpowers, it's usually the Hayley crew as villains, and the double J squad (Jason and Jasmine) as heroes.

the Hayley crew were kidnapped and experimented on and trained. They eventually became more powerful than their captors and killed them to escape and were labelled as villains ever since

Oliver was at a friend's house or something when Ryder was kidnapped and thought he was dead

Hayley was five and watched her parents get murdered before she was taken

TJ was probably sold or given to the people experimenting.

Sometimes, my characters get to just live happily and be chaotic. Other times i give them serious trauma and then make them suffer.

This is part of my “Just another Liability” AU. This scene would take place after Just a nobody and before liability 

             I should feel safe and secure in my room. I don’t know if there is anywhere that I could be safer. The Agency doesn’t skimp on security. The unit is either here with me or out on patrol keeping an eye on things, but I still can’t bring myself to turn off the light on my bedside table. Plenty of people sleep with a night light. It’s fine, besides its not like anyone will know. No one needs to know how the dark seems to collapse in on me. No one needs to know how it feels like a physical weight pushing the air out of my lungs. No, I just don’t want to stub my toe if I have to get up to pee.

               I’m fine.

               I can’t make it through the night. The dreams are violent. The unit never arrives. He breaks me and smiles. I wake with a gasp muscles twitching as if the electricity was still running through them. Even with the light, the room feels too dark, too constricting, too alone.

               I need fresh air. Maybe with the open sky above me the panicked thudding of my heart will slow and my body will figure out that we are safe. I’m almost to the front door when I remember Adam’s words. I could go into the living room and open a window, but I don’t think that’ll be enough. There’s always the roof.

               It doesn’t take me long to climb the stairs and step through the door onto the flat roof of the warehouse. I take grateful gulps of cool night air. It’s peaceful up here. The moon is bright enough that I can see pretty well. Crickets and the breeze playing in the leaves are the only sounds I can hear. Even with the half-full moon illuminating the sky I can see so many stars. It reminds me of when I was a kid, before I moved out of my hometown.

               When I’d turned eighteen and moved to the city, I’d lost the stars. I never thought I’d get them back, going home was too painful, too impossible. It had felt like a fair price at the time. To leave all that behind me all I had to do was to give up the stars. I’m further from my shitty little hometown than I ever even knew I could get. I guess that’s one way to get the stars back.  

               “Now I see how you got kidnapped,” Mason’s voice startles me out of my revive.

                I’m just glad I don’t scream from the surprise, but it still sets my heart racing. At least I want to blame it on that.

               “Shouldn’t you be asleep?” he asks as he steps closer to me.

               “I should be a lot of things, dead among them.” I say with a smile trying to lighten the tension I feel in the air. I’m used to tension with Mason, to the push and pull of innuendo and teasing, the on-going game of arousal and attraction, but this feels different. Or maybe it’s just me that’s different, still a little cracked after my experience at the hands of the trappers.

               “Is that supposed to be a joke?” Mason asks with a scoff his eyes narrowing.

               “Obviously. I would think you’d be used to my bad humor by now.” I reply with a wave of my hand. “I can go back inside. I don’t mean to intrude on your space. I just needed some fresh air. I know this is usually your spot.”

               “I was looking for you actually. You weren’t in your room.”

               “Hoping for a booty call already?” I ask with an arched brow, “or did you think I’d managed to get myself into trouble again already?”

               “You have a talent for it. We really need to work on your sense of self-preservation, Sweetheart” his voice is serious not at all the teasing flirtation tone I had expected.

               I stare at him unsure of how to respond. If I didn’t know better, I would almost think he was concerned about me, worried about me. I shake my head to banish the thought. It’s not that he doesn’t care about the unit, he does, but part of me wants it to be more than that. That part of me needs to learn to shut up.

               “I thought that I—that we were too late.” His voice is quiet barely more than a murmur. His eyes raise to meet mine, and I think I could spend an eternity lost in their stormy depths.

               “I didn’t think you were real,” I confess.

                I had felt the darkness closing in around me and I was so sure that this was the end. I was sure that I was dying alone and broken, and then Mason was there. When I was child, I had often hoped for someone to come rescue me. For my absentee father to decide he suddenly cared about his daughter and take me away to a place where I never had to go to bed hungry, to a place where I never had to make up stories for the bruises on my arms. It never happened. He never gave a shit. I’d had to pull myself out of that shit heap, and I learned to give up on that hope. No one would ever save me. I could only depend on myself, and yet, when I was so sure I was done for Mason had been there. I guess it made sense that in a world with vampires and werewolves maybe even that silly childhood wish could come true.

               He reaches out and cupped my check and for one disorienting moment I’m back in the trapper’s hideout. My life is slipping away, and his face is the last thing I will ever see.

               I’m brought back to the present moment as his lips connect with mine. His hand moves to the back of my head as he angles my head to deepen the kiss. His other hand moves to my lower back pulling me flush against him.

               “That real enough for you?” He asks me as the kiss breaks.

               “I’m not sure. I think you’ll have to show me again.”

               He does. We make our way back to my room, and I lose myself in the familiar feel of his hands moving over my body. It’s gentle, but no less intense for it. In some ways it’s more intense. Our bodies press together as much as possible. It’s hard to know where he ends and I begin. One hand’s fingers interlock with mine, and he kisses me again and again. I’m incapable of sensing anything besides him.

               The ache that grows in my chest has little to do with my injury and more to do with a word that threatens to escape with each moan and gasp he pulls from me.

               When I reach my peak, it comes in a slow wave from my curling toes to the top of my head. Every nerve fires and cascades. I don’t feel shattered like I usually do, but rather taken apart, untangled. If Mason notices the tears that leak out from my eyes he doesn’t comment.

               He follows me over the edge and then we lay intertwined. His head is pressed to my chest, and if he were human, I would say he was trying to hear my heartbeat, but he doesn’t need to be here to do that.  

               I fall into a blissful dreamless sleep safe in his arms.

               I’m woken up by the sound of my bedroom door closing. I sigh and roll over. My eyes glance to the clock on the bedside table, and I have to rub my eyes to be sure I read it right. 7am.

Day 18: Harvest

read on ao3

A/N this is another piece of my canon divergent as of yet untitled AU. 

               It’s exactly the sort of event I would have done anything to avoid back home. The community center is decorated with pumpkins, gourds, and leaves in the warm tones of fall. The last event of the annual harvest festival, the silent auction, is apparently the height of Wayhaven’s autumnal social calendar. Mayor Friedman had specially requested Unit Bravo’s presence. I’d considered telling Agent Greene that since I was not technically an agent that I must not be included in that mandate in order to escape attending.

               However, after weeks of what amounted to house arrest, I was more than happy for an opportunity to get out an about. We still had been unable to locate the party behind the bounty on Dinah. Without any real reason to leave the premises, I’d spent most of my days in the library, watching movies with Farah, and avoiding Mason.

               It’s been a little over two weeks since I ended things. That sounds like there was something to end. It’s been two weeks since I stopped hooking up with him, and it’s sucked. As much as I may know that I was making the right choice to protect myself, I miss spending time with him both in and out of the bedroom. But that was the whole reason why I had to stop it. My dumbass had caught feelings. If it was just fun then I wouldn’t miss him. Mason doesn’t do feelings.

               For all my grumbling, the event hasn’t been terrible. Nate and Farah are off going through the silent auction offerings. Adam has been dragged off to speak with the mayor and Agent Greene leaving Dinah, myself and Mason alone at our table.

               I’m nursing another glass of red wine and even without super senses I can hear the pretty brunette at the table behind us trying to work up the nerve to approach the brooding vampire sitting a few seats to my right. I have to remind myself that he was never mine to lose before I get too bitter.

               I steal a glance to see if he’s noticed, to see if I need to really start drinking in earnest.  I’ve never seen him in a button up before. It’s black and I can still see the chord of his crystal necklace poking out from where the last few buttons are undone. His hair is pulled back in a low ponytail with only a few strands falling out around his face. He looks sharp and devilishly handsome. As I look up, I find that his eyes are already on me. His brow is furrowed, but it smooths as he noticed me looking at him. I wonder how long he has been watching me, if he’s noticed how agitated I’ve become. I hope not.

               For once he looks away first. Without a word, he rises from the table and I notice him reaching for the pocket he always keeps his smokes in as he heads for the hallway. I surprised he is even bothering to leave; he usual lights up wherever he wants to, rules be damned. Maybe he needs a break from the overstimulation of the room. There are a lot of people here and it must be wreaking havoc on his nerves.

               “Well, that was interesting,” Dinah says off to my left.

               “Huh? What was interesting?” I ask as I turn to her.

               “I take it you still haven’t talked to him.”

               “There’s nothing to talk about.” I don’t want to have this argument again. She seems determined to try and make us out to be some great romance. Not everyone gets what she and Nate have.

               “How will you know if you don’t try?” she asks her voice soft as she places a soothing hand on my arm.

               I resist the urge to shake the hand off. I know she is trying to be helpful, and I don’t want to lash out at her. I’m just getting so tired of people encouraging me to do something I know will only hurt me. “Mason made it clear from the beginning that it was just fun. I don’t have a right to try and change the terms halfway through just because I’m stupid and caught feelings.”

               I already know how that conversation would go. At least this way my pride can stay intact.

               “Don’t look at me that way, Dinah. I’m fine.” I don’t want her pity. Not about this.

               She sighs and shakes her head, “and people say I’m stubborn.”

               “I’m not stubborn.” I say as I pour myself another glass of wine. “I’m just realistic.”

               We lapse into silence as I sip at the wine. After a minute or two, Nate slides into his seat next to Dinah. I’m thankful that they can keep each other company and just leave me to my wine.

               I hear a chair slide back from the table behind me, and watch as the brunette walks past me to the quieted cheers of her friends. Mason has reentered the hall, and apparently, she has finally found the nerve to make her move. She’s cute. Her low-cut dress much more flattering than the prim professional number I had borrowed from Dinah. I’m sure Mason will find her appealing enough. I knew he would find new people to take to bed; I just didn’t think I would be in the room when it happened.

               I see her reach out and place a hand on his arm. He hasn’t brushed her off and she hasn’t been scared off by his rudeness. I can’t do this. I want to leave, but they’re too close to the hallway. I glance around and see a smaller exit at the back.

               Adam will probably have my head, but I’d rather risk getting kidnapped than start crying in front of everyone here. In front of him.

               I think I hear Nate say my name as I go to leave, but I don’t turn around. I can feel tears welling up in my eyes and I need to get out now.

               The door leads to a small set of stairs. I’m alone. I walk to the edge of the landing and grab the metal railing for support. It’s freezing. Drawing in a deep breath I focus on the cold. I have no one to blame, but myself. I hate that I can feel tears escaping down my cheeks. Stupid, stupid Serena.

               At the sound of the door opening, I turn. I do my best to wipe away any trace of the tears before who ever it is can see.              

               Fuck. Why did it have to be him?

               “Though you were supposed to stay inside?” Mason growls at me as the door closes behind him leaving us alone on the stairs.

               “Well we both know that I don’t always follow the rules.” I say trying to be my usual snarky self.

               “You don’t have to babysit me.” I continue.  “I’d hate to ruin your fun.” It comes out with more bitterness than I meant.

               He looks confused for a moment, “oh that” he shrugs.

               “Yeah, so like I said, you don’t have to babysit me. I’ll go back inside in a minute. Go get your dick wet or whatever.” I cross my arms across my chest and roll my eyes. I’m shooting for nonchalance and indifferent, but I don’t know if I managed it.

               He looks at the door for a moment before looking back at me. “I don’t think I will.”

               “What, why not? She’s cute and seems into you. Isn’t that all you need?”

               He leans back against the wall and with a smirk says, “only one I want to have fun with here is you, Sweetheart.”

               I feel like all the air has been pulled out of my lungs. He’s a tempting vision and my body responds to the familiar pattern of banter. If it was only that it would be one thing, but there’s a flicker in my chest of something that feels suspiciously like hope. A vain hope that he means more with those words. That he means I’m the only one he wants beyond tonight.  

               “Too bad, because I’m not interested.”

               “you’re lying” he accuses me with narrowed eyes.

               “Is your ego really that fragile that you can’t handle a rejection.” I say with a scoff.

               He rolls his eyes. “I know you and you’re lying.” He smirks, “remember, your body gives you away.”

               Stupid vampire super senses.

               “Why do you care, Mason? We both know you were going to get bored sooner or later.” I turn away so he can’t see my eyes anymore. I can’t do anything about my heartrate, but I can get rid of at least one source of information.

               “Would I? I’m not bored yet.” I can’t tell if he’s asking me or if he’s asking himself. I feel him move closer so that he’s standing directly behind me. His hand ghost over my arm, not actually touching it. “I thought we were both having fun. I don’t see why it needs to stop.”

               “God damn it don’t make me say it!” I yell. I had hoped he would just let it go.

               “Heaven forbid I make you do something you don’t want to do, Sweetheart.” He says in a biting tone.

               “It wasn’t just fun for me.” I admit as I turn around to face him. “It was beginning to mean something to me, and I wanted it to mean something to you, but it doesn’t work that way for you.”

               There it is. Fuck my pride, I guess.

               “What if it did mean something?” he asks.

               My chest tightens as the little spark of hope flares within it, “Does it?”

               He closes the inches between us and kisses me. I don’t know if it’s an answer or a test, but at that moment I don’t care. His hands move to my hips and pull us flush together. God, I’ve missed this. My whole body feels like it ignites at his touch. Would it really be so terrible to believe in this? To believe he cares for me?

               This kiss breaks and I whisper, “I think I love you.”

               His hands drop from my hips as if he’d been burned.

               I nod and swallow all the emotions I’ll have to deal with later, “that’s what I thought.”

               I don’t give him a chance to respond before I’m through the door and back to the event.

               Stupid, stupid Serena. You knew how this would end.

    “Can you take Mason’s coat back to the warehouse. He left it here yesterday.” Dinah asks as I’m getting ready to leave the police station.

    “Guess that explains why he was such a grump this morning. It must have been a cold patrol.” I say as I reach out to grab it. The leather is soft and buttery under my hands. Like most things Mason owns it’s well worn and comfortable looking. I guess it would have to be with his sensory issues. I could only image how much the tag on a shirt or bad stitching would mess with him.

     I’m almost out the door when I turn to ask, “hey, do you think I could get away with a joke about his memory?”

   “If anyone could it’s you. He seems very-” She has that look on her face the one I’ve been noticing more and more. Something a little curious and maybe a touch smug. I don’t like it much, “-fond of you lately.”

   “Ha hardly. Just because we’re sleeping together doesn’t mean he likes me any better than anyone else. It just means I make bad life choices.”

    “Oh, I wasn’t talking about that because, gross.” Dinah makes a retching face to really drive it home. “I meant more the way he always sits with you.”

    I scowl at her.

   She laughs, “I was about to say that I don’t really get the two of you, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Mason make that exact same face.”

   “Bye!” I yell as I walk out the door unwilling to continue the conversation. I’m not sure why she is determined to make it a bigger deal than it is. We’re having fun. It doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.

   Once I get back to the warehouse, I have a choice to make. I could be a normal functioning adult and just give him the jacket, or I could not do that and fuck with him a little. Just a little, I don’t have a plan, but I’ll figure it out as I go.

   As I’m walking down the hallway, I can hear Farah and Mason’s voices coming from the game room. Without thinking about it too much, I slip the jacket on. It’s warm and I swim in it a little. It smells like him and I feel a fluttering begin in my stomach as I inhale the familiar aroma. It brings with it a wave of memories and I have to take a few moments to savor them, and then a few more moments to let my heart rate return to normal.

    They are deep into a game of darts and don’t even notice me when I enter. It looks like Farah is winning.  I grab a drink from the fridge and lean against the wall to watch and wait.

   Farah notices first. A huge grin breaks out on her face. “Nice jacket, Serena.”

  “Do you like it? Some idiot left it at the police station. I think it looks pretty good on me, hate to see it go to waste in the lost and found.” I say returning the smile.

   Mason finally turns to see what we are talking about. I expected a scowl or a grimace, but I don’t know how to describe the look on his face. His eyes track over my body. I put my hands on my hips and smirk at him. His eyes meet mine and for half a second there’s something there that cause a lurch in my chest, but then it’s gone.

  “Well you know what they say, finders-keepers.” Farah says with a laugh.

   “Are you two done?” he asks with a roll of his eyes.

   “oh, I’m sorry. Did I interrupt your game? I wouldn’t think you’d be so eager to get back to losing.” I want to get back to the teasing and joking around and try and forget that twinge I’d felt. It’s just Dinah’s digging getting into my head. I’m not about to let myself start thinking that way and ruin something fun.

  “Not having a very lucky day are you, Mason? First, I kick your butt at darts, and now you’ve lost your jacket to Serena.” Farah says still laughing.  

   “Oh, I think I’ll still get lucky.” Mason says with a smirk that sends a thrill through my body. Now that’s what I’m used to.

    “You’re still not getting the jacket back.”

     Mason closes the space between us and raises one arm to rest on the wall above my head, “not usually this hard to get you out of your clothes, Sweetheart.”

     “Well, you haven’t given me a reason yet.” I say meeting his intense gaze my heart pounding, anticipation and desire coursing through my veins. He knows because of course he does with his stupid vampire super senses.

      “Pretty sure I’ve given you a reason a few times already.” He reaches out to brush a piece of hair behind my ear. His touch is light, teasing. I wet my lips and am satisfied to see how much the motion draws his attention.

     “Hmmm, maybe you’ll have to jog my memory.” I reply as I reach out and place my hand against the firm muscles of his chest.

     The tension of the moment is broken by a retching sound from Farah, “alright I’m out if y’all going to keep talking that way. Only so much nasty I can handle in a day.”

     Heat floods my face. To be honest, once Mason had gotten within arms reach of me, I had completely forgotten she was in the room.

    “Farah, wait,” I call out as I push off the wall, brush past Mason, and go to follow her. I’m not quite ready to lose the jacket yet. It’s very comfy. Plus, it’s fun to frustrate him.

    “Hey,” Mason calls out as I’m almost out the door.

     I turn back expecting some growly sarcastic remark.

    “It does look good on you,” he says with a surprising amount of sincerity in his voice. As he meets my eyes, I feel that same twinge in my chest. Fuck.

For the ‘I wish you would write a fic where’, I crave some soft ass Mason x Serena, I will take anything and everything -sewellsheart

Thank you for the ask 💜. I do tend to pile in the angst with them don’t I? Anyways this is just a little piece because this got a lot longer and I want to work on it more. Let me know if you’d like to be tagged in the final version 💜 (I did post this fic earlier in the week which has some softer mason/Serena if you’re interested)

He doesn’t take it right away. I feel awkward as I wait with my arm outstretched. A furrow forms between his brows and he still doesn’t take the jacket back.

“Just take it, Mason.” I say with a sigh “the joke wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be.”

“That’s different from your other jokes how exactly?” He responds with a wicked smirk.

I let out an offended gasp as I pull the jacket back, “excuse you! I’m goddamn hilarious. Just for that I’m keeping it.”

I scurry to my feet fully intending to stomp off in a fit of indignation.

I don’t make it very far at all as mason’s arms wrap around my waist and pull my down into his lap.

“If you won’t return my jacket then you’ll have to think of some other way to keep me warm, Sweetheart” he says as he ticks a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch lingers, fingers moving to trace over my brow and down my cheek his gaze following the movement of his hands as if memorizing my features.

I feel like I can’t breath.

His hand moves to my jaw before moving down my neck and curling back to knot in my hair.

Day 2: Dead

warnings: some discussion of torture

words: 1251

read on ao3

This takes place in my self indulgent AU. This scene takes places after my OC Serena is mistaken for the detective (Dinah) and kidnapped by trappers. Serena and Mason have been sleeping together, but up until now it’s just been fun. 

               Mason is waiting for me in the hall as I exit my room.

               “I think I’m capable of getting to the living room.” I say in a light tone not wanting to put too much thought into his being there.  

               “Can’t risk it. Wouldn’t want you getting kidnapped again.” He smirks as he pushes off the wall to fall in step with me. We walk close together. Our arms occasionally brushing against one another. We don’t talk which isn’t out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t feel like the peaceful silences that we’ve shared in the past. I want to ask about it. I want to ask about why he stayed last night about what it means, but I’m afraid of what the answer will be. Maybe I’m mostly afraid of the fact that I want a certain answer.

It’ll be my first time seeing everyone since I was rescued from the trappers. I feel nervous and apprehensive. They will want to talk about what happened, about how I was captured and what happened to me. I’m not sure if I’m ready for it. It still feels distant like something that happened to someone else.

               Dinah jumps from her seat as we enter the room and rushes to hug me. “Serena, I’m so sorry. This never would have happened if it wasn’t for me. What happened to you it’s all my fault.” Her blue eyes are soon filled with tears.

               I return her hug and try and make soothing noises, “Don’t blame yourself. I was careless. I shouldn’t have let them get the jump on me. Besides, it’s better that it was me.”

               I hear a low growl come from Mason, but I just try to ignore it and keep my attention focused on the distraught Dinah. “I’m here and I’m okay. This is all on the trappers.”

               Once Dinah releases me, I walk over to my usual chair. I can feel everyone’s eyes watching me and it makes my skin itch. I don’t know what they are looking for. Are they looking to see whatever cracks this experience has left behind? Are they trying to reassure themselves that I’m fine? Are they calculating how much of a liability this will make me? As I settle into place, Mason takes up his usual perch next to me, an arm slung over the back of the chair and one leg crossed in front of him on the arm of the chair

               They have questions which I answer to the best of my ability: how I was ambushed, what questions the trappers asked me, anything that might be important.  Agent Greene has brought a voice recorder which I am grateful for. With any luck the agency can refer to the recording instead of constantly asking me the same questions. Nate is particularly interested in the botched handoff, in the woman who came to pay the bounty and collect “Dinah.” It’s difficult. When it was happening, my instinct was to just shut down, to go to some safe little corner of my mind where I wasn’t tied to a chair and in mortal danger. It’s what I want to do now. To retreat, but I know that this is important. Without meaning to I find myself leaning against Mason’s solid form for some form of reassurance.

               As soon as I realize what I’m doing I straighten in the chair and break the contact. Then I feel his arm drop down onto my shoulders. If the others notice the exchange, they don’t comment which I am grateful for. The questions continue.

               After what feels like an eternity, they seem to be satisfied with the information I have questions of my own, “how did you figure out I’d been taken?”

               It’s Farah who answers, “we were supposed to watch a movie. You were late and not texting me back that only happens when it’s Mason’s fault.”

               A soft chuckle escapes Mason, and I feel heat into my face at a memory from about a week ago. Farah had come searching for me when I wasn’t responding to her text messages. She had found us pressed together, Mason’s hand exploring under my shirt as his mouth attacked my neck, and she was determined to continue to tease me about it.

               “Mason was getting his ass kicked by Adam in the training room.” That stops his chuckling, “so I knew it wasn’t that. You wouldn’t stand me up. Something had to wrong.”

               “I guess it’s a good thing I tend to be punctual.” I say with a lightness I do not feel. “Have you been able to get any information from the captured trappers?”

               “Not much that we didn’t already know.” Adam replies.

               “What about the man who was,” I pause for a moment. I want to say torturing. It felt like torture and I can’t help but run a hand over my side. The marks from the prod have healed, but I can almost still feel the electricity and magic from it. I look up and see Dinah’s red-rimmed eyes and how unlike her usual fun-loving self-Farah is acting. “The man who was questioning me; he wasn’t with the trappers who captured me. He should know more about that woman.”

               “We would love to question him but-“ Nate pauses and glances toward where Mason and I sit, “-we can’t do that.”

               “Did he escape?” I ask try to suppress the shiver of fear that thought gives me.

               Mason’s arm tightens on my shoulder and he speaks, “no. I killed him.”

               “Yes.” Adam’s tone is clipped and a tension falls over the group.

               My thoughts swirl. The Agency focuses on nonlethal intervention. This is the first time I’ve heard of an agent taking a life on a mission, and it’s because of me. My memory of the moment Mason and Nate arrived was hazy at best. I remember pain and blood, so much blood. The interrogator standing in front of me and then he was gone. Mason’s eyes swimming in my vision, feeling his hands on my face as if from a great distance, and being sure that it was just a dream.

               “His back was broken when he hit the wall. These things happen; it’s unfortunate that we aren’t able to question him, but the most important thing is that you are safe, Serena.” Nate, always the diplomate, clarifies.

               “Oh,” I don’t really know how to respond. Part of me is glad. I’m glad that he was dead that he had paid for what he had done to me.

               “Until the threat is eliminated, neither the detective nor Serena should be out on their own. Unless here or at the police station one of us will accompany you.” Adam commands. “I’ve said it before and I will say it again, detective, I think you should stay here at the warehouse.”

               “And I’ll say it again, Adam, no. I’m willing to spend some nights here- “she shares a smile with Nate “-but I will have my independence.”

               “Guess I’ll be spending a lot of time inside then.” I say.

               “I’m sure I can help you fill the time,” Mason replies with a purr.

               “Can we do a puzzle? Please say we can do a puzzle” I respond more than happy to return to the usual routine of jokes and innuendos. It’s easy to shove my confusing feelings in a little box and go back to this. I can pretend to be fine. Everything will be fine. Won’t it?

Six Sentence Sunday

thank you for the tags @thenshe--appeared and @lilyoffandoms !

It’s still Sunday where I am (California baby), but I’m just getting it in under the wire lol. This is from my unnamed au with Mason and Serena.  I’m placing it under a read more because it is a little spicy (but mostly angsty) 

             We spend a long time exploring each others bodies; he’s looking at me that way again, the one that makes something catch in my chest and makes me wish for things I should know better than to want. I close my eyes, but I can still feel his gaze on my skin. 

            “What’s wrong,” he asks me as I’m getting dressed to leave.

            I take a deep breath and think about trying to deflect, to put this off for another day, but I know every day I delay will just mean more pain for me.

              “We can’t do this anymore.” 

 Sunday is pretty much over, so I won’t tag anyone, but if you’d like to participate please do and tag me! I’d love to see what you’re working on!

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tags @icekingadam and @lilyoffandoms 💜. I still have like three hours of Wednesday in my time zone, so I’m making it in just under the wire 

I’ve been having some writer’s block lately, so this is pretty rough, but it’s a WIP so it’s not supposed to be good

This is from my “Just Another Liability” AU with the pairing of Mason/Serena and would take place immediately after somewhere between hope and pride. Warnings for cursing (because Serena curses like a sailor at all time lol)

               I make for our table because I’m not sure where else I can go. Part of me wants to go cry in the bathroom like I’m back at a middle school dance. I mean who needs dignity anyway? As I slide into my chair, Dinah takes one look at me and her face falls.

               “Did you send him out after me?” I say with my teeth clenched as I try to retain my composure.

               “No. He did that on his own.” She lays a hand on my shoulder, “did you talk?”

               “I was right. At least I get to say I told you so.” I say with a joyless laugh. I can’t bring myself to look her in the eye. I want to be mad at her, to blame her meddling, but that’s not fair. I have no one to blame but myself. I shred a napkin that had the misfortune of being within reach. It feels good to have something to do with my hands, to destroy something.

               Her head turns and her focus shifts to something behind me. My whole body tenses. He must have come back inside.

               She gets the hard look on her face, the one she usually has when butting heads with Adam.

               “Just stay right here,” she says as if I have any intention of moving.

               I just want to go home. I feel so fucking stupid. It was never supposed to be like this. It should have just been fun, but then I thought I saw something in his eyes. Or maybe I just wanted to. It was nice to have someone hold me. It’s such a god damn cliché. My dumb ass thought I had cut and run in time that I could disentangle myself from Mason’s pull. Even now, even with the confirmation that he doesn’t feel the same, I don’t know if I’ll ever be free from him.

I’m not going to tag anyone since it’s too late, but I’ve loved seeing all the wonderful things that people have been working on!

37, 45, and 55 for Serena! :D

Thank you for the ask 💜 Serena is the main character from my canon divergent Wayhaven Au “Just Another Liability” 

37. Do they have any phobias?

Nothing like spiders or heights or anything like that. A lot of Serena’s fears tend to have to do with other people. She had some abandonment issues and can be really cagey around emotional attachments.

45. Theme song? (And a playlist if you’ve got one!)

I’m not a saint by Billy Raffoul

I'm really good at being good at goodbyes I'm gonna give you fair warning that I I'm not a saint, but I could be if I try 

@tracing-freckled-constellations actually made me an amazing playlist for Serena and this song is from that

And liability by lorde 

I understand, I'm a liability Get you wild, make you leave 

Partially the inspiration for the title, and Serena’s general feelings of not being enough/too much for people so it’s easier to keep them at a distance so they can’t hurt her first. 

55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? When happens when these all interact with each other?

Her core trait is probably independence; she never had anyone looking out for she growing up and learned that she could only depend on herself. Her best trait if probably her resilience she is able to adapt and function even in difficult situations. Her worst trait is probably that she doesn’t know how to ask for help and or even think that she deserves it. When these all interact with each other she can handle/deal will almost any situation, but will then often retreat into herself and struggle with the fallout/exhaustion, this can result in her being moody or sharp with the people around her and pushing people away when they try to help. 

thank you for indulging me by letting me talk about Serena more! 

The extremely detailed OC ask meme

[amlovelies]

    Farah notices first. A huge grin breaks out on her face. “Nice jacket, Serena.”

    “Do you like it? Some idiot left it at the police station. I think it looks pretty good on me, hate to see it go to waste in the lost and found.” I say returning the smile.

  Mason finally turns to see what we are talking about. I expected a scowl or a grimace, but I don’t know how to describe the look on his face. His eyes track over my body. I put my hands on my hips and smirk at him. His eyes meet mine and for half a second there’s something there that cause a lurch in my chest, but then it’s gone.

 “Well you know what they say, finders-keepers.” Farah says with a laugh.

  “Are you two done?” he asks with a roll of his eyes.

  “oh, I’m sorry. Did I interrupt your game? I wouldn’t think you’d be so eager to get back to losing.” I want to get back to the teasing and joking around and try and forget that twinge I’d felt. It’s just Dinah’s digging getting into my head. I’m not about to let myself start thinking that way and ruin something fun.

 “Not having a very lucky day are you, Mason? First, I kick your butt at darts, and now you’ve lost your jacket to Serena.” Farah says still laughing.  

  “Oh, I think I’ll still get lucky.” Mason says with a smirk that sends a thrill through my body. Now that’s what I’m used to.

   “You’re still not getting the jacket back.”

    Mason closes the space between us and raises one arm to rest on the wall above my head, “not usually this hard to get you out of your clothes, Sweetheart.”

I am absolutely over the moon with how beautiful this piece turned out. I commissioned @peonylon to draw mason and serena from my wayhaven chronicles au just another liability and it looks better than I could have ever dreamed 😍😍😍

If you get the chance to commission jamie I can’t recommend her enough. She is super easy to work with and just a generally lovely wonderful person. Her art speaks for itself, like look how gorgeous this is??

when skies are grey

pairing: Mason/f!oc (Serena Willis)

warning: nudity, but no smut some cursing and allusion to depression

words: 989

A/N: this is just pure self-indulgent soft M. It takes place sometime after Mason and Serena get their act together in Just Another Liability.  I got this prompt request from @callmeroo and went with the other option, but this idea couldn’t get out of my head, plus I’ve been putting these two through the wringer lately (and will continue to do so because of who I am as a person) so they deserve a little softness

           As always, it’s dark as shit in Mason’s room. I can hear the bath running as I step inside and make my way towards the bathroom door. I came down as soon as Farah told me about the incident. It was supposed to be a normal boring patrol until Mason came across four rogues not far from Dinah’s apartment. He’d been able to hold them off until Adam arrived, but it had been a rough fight.

           I know he’s an immortal vampire with magical healing powers, and it’s stupid, but I need to see him and make sure he’s okay. Because even though his body may recover from the blows the pain is still there. It must be pretty bad if he’s running a bath.

          I’m nearly to the bathroom door when I trip. I slam into the dresser, but manage to keep my footing, I turn to glare at the boot lying in the middle of the walkway as I hear his gruff voice from the other room. “Try not to break all my shit, will you?”

           “You wouldn’t have to worry if you didn’t leave your shit lying in the middle of the floor,” I respond as I open the door. He’s just getting into the tub and I have a brief vision of his lean freckled limbs before he disappears into the water. God, he’s beautiful.

           “Are you going to join me or just enjoy the view?” he asks with a smirk.

           He grumbles a little when I climb into the tub behind him, obviously wanting me in front so he could get handsy, but he quiets as I wrap my arms and legs around him.

           I press my face against his back and just enjoy the feeling of him. The tiny little fears settle more and more with each breath he takes. He’s here and he’s okay, my Sunshine. It may have started as a bad joke, and I would never admit to feeling it unironically, but that’s what he is.

           “What’s that you’re humming?” He asks.

               “Was that out loud?” I ask as I flush in embarrassment. I hadn’t even realized I was doing it. It was so stupid, but the song had been popping into my head more and more often. Always in quiet moments, like the other night when we were sitting on the roof together. Or yesterday morning when he pulled me closer and refused to let me leave the warmth of his bed even though we both ended up being late to the morning briefing. Adam had grumbled and Farah had winked, and that stupid song had played in my head as he placed his arm around my shoulders.  

               “You’ve done it a few times. Is it your favorite song or something?” He asks his hand making idle circles on my leg.

               I shake my head, “no. And I’m not going to tell you what it is either. You’ll just laugh at me.”

               “Aren’t you always telling everyone how funny you are?” He asks with a quirk of his brow.

               I splash him with the water and he growls and sputters as he wipes it off his face.

               “Ha. Ha. It’s the wrong kind of laugh you ass, and I am hilarious.” How dare he insinuate otherwise.

               “You don’t have to tell me. It just sounded familiar.” He shrugs, but I can feel his eyes on me just a little too intently.

               “It’s an old song,” I say with a sigh. If I’m going to embarrass myself with it, I might as well do it here rather than risk Farah overhearing me humming on day. I start to sing the tune, “you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.  You make me happy when skies are gray . . .” I trail off unable to continue the verse.

My voice sounds weak and nasally in the quiet bathroom, and I’m sure it’s doing a number on his hearing. Hell, it hurts mine.

           It gets quiet. Just the occasional drip from the faucet punctuation the silence.

           Just when I’m not sure I can bear it any longer he asks, “do I?”

           “Do you what?”

           “Make you happy?” He asks his voice thoughtful and serious.

           “Can’t you tell Mr. interrogations expert?” I ask trying to keep my tone light and teasing. No one’s ever asked me a question like that so bluntly, but I guess I should be used to bluntness with him by now.

           Mason makes me many things. Oh, I’ve cried over him, and been so frustrated I wanted to scream, but mostly with him I feel safe. I feel safe and content in a way I don’t remember ever feeling before. Happy, yes, happy, so very happy.

           “I never cared about it before--” he says as he reaches out to lace his fingers with mine his palm over the back of my hand “—happiness. My own, others. It was a waste of energy.”

           He brings my wrist to his lips to press a kiss against the pulse point of my wrist, “but I care about yours.”

           His words hit me like a punch and it takes me a second to recover. I can’t think of any words, so instead I focus on kissing each freckle on his shoulder in front of me until I can swallow down the lump in my throat. I doubt if anyone has ever really cared about my happiness before. A lot of the time I didn’t even care about my own happiness. I cared about making sure the bills were paid.

           Mason moves his head so our foreheads are touching and squeezes my hand, “you okay there, Sweetheart?”

           “Yes,” I bridge the gap between us to capture his lips in a quick kiss. “I’m more than okay, I’m happy.” And he may not understand how big of an admission that is. He may not fully understand how part of me never believed I would get to be happy, but he understands enough.

           “Good.”
