Miraculous Pet Shelter AU
An AU Where everything is the same, except:
Rather than having a bakery, the Dupain-Chengs run a local animal shelter, which Marinette and her friends volunteer at all the time.
Marinette adores animals, especially dogs and cats. She treats each animal there with as much love and affection as she could possibly give them, and does her absolute best to find them all forever homes.
The Dupain-Chengs have their own dog; A big, golden colored Chow Chow named Rosey. Being a Chow Chow, Rosey needs time to warm up to strangers, but positively adores Marinette and her family.
Rosey serves as the unofficial mascot for the shelter, usually sitting at the front desk with Sabine.
Adrien volunteers regularly at the shelter. So to does Luka, Nino, Alya and Kagami.
Chloe initially can’t stand the shelter, but her attitude changes when Adrien convinces her to adopt some pets.
Marinette helps Chloe adopt a white Persian cat named Prince and a white Poodle named Princess (Chloe named them). Having pets to love helps Chloe learn to treat people better as well, and make amends with those she’s hurt or harassed.
Marinette also helps Sabrina adopt Corgi name Joby. Joby loves to perform tricks for Sabrina, and Sabrina spoils him like crazy.
The Agrestes adopt a few pets as well; A Labrador named Buddy for Adrien to play with, two dobermans named Hannibal and Caesar to act as guard dogs, and lovely white cat named Jewel to keep a bedridden Emilie company.
Emilie is alive, but is sick and very frail. She IS being treated, but the treatment is too slow for Gabriel’s taste, thus he becomes Hawkmoth to try and find a cure.

the first thing I think of when Reader is portrayed as naive and innocent in an AU is how in the future they’re worse then all their hybrids combined, and I’m getting some major brainrot over the hybrid AU so just hear me out here ‼️‼️
Reader was of course innocent and naive, sheltered in every way, but that was before their father suddenly decided that playing the role of a doting father in public would boost his dying image more then keeping reader locked up
So Readers thrust into the life of an heir, forced to come to grips with the cold harsh reality that is the business world, and realize that they’re never going to have any true power or freedom as long as their father is still around
So they plan and scheme, analyzing their fathers greatest achievements and his worst failures, learning all about how to play the business world, and people in general, like a fine tuned instrument. Just patiently waiting till their fathers gradual cover ups over the years suddenly make their way into the public eye.
And when it’s revealed that Readers parent abandoned them and then picked them up again for his entertainment, forcing them to turn to mere hybrids for genuine human interaction?
Well, both those concerned for Reader, and those not, take note. Suddenly investigations are happening and their fathers tax fraud and million dollar bribes are revealed, and oh what’s that, he’s also involved in multiple different crime organizations? How horrible
Reader miraculously finds themself to be the CEO how every company that their father had, an owner of all of his properties, and immeasurably rich beyond belief when their father dies in jail under simply tragic circumstances.
Only this time, Reader won’t let the opportunity to take the world by storm pass by. After all, they have a rather beautiful collection of hybrids waiting at home for them, and you know how clingy beloved pets are when you make them wait.
You cant blame the poor darlings though, the public whispers behind lustful gazes and adoring stares, they just can’t get enough of their powerful owner
actually anon this ask (which has been fermenting in my ask for a year now) has been the inspiration in why there's been a whole heir sub plotline in my hybird works.
i like the idea of the hybrids subtly corrupting the innocent bird that's been in their cage for far too long, now able to spread their wings but just doesn't know how. they feed darling whispers about how their parent abandoned them, how they're the only family they have. and all of them are oh so eager to follow reader's convoluted schemes to bring down their father and the company's enemies.
i find that corrupting darling would have many benefits to the hybrids. one, well, corruption arc? it would be just so lovely to see your naivety crushed and broken, making you rely on them not as your protectors but also as your fellow sinners in this plan. two, since you're so influential, you'll be able to at least influence society's views on hybrids. you'll be in a high enough position to influence lawmakers to loosen their binds on hybrids, to make hybrids equal... idk, just a thought.
this only applies to zhongli, since he's bound by a contract to your father, but this could be the perfect opportunity to revenge. what better way to take revenge on the man who coerced you into a humiliating contract than watch his own flesh and blood (who he does love despite all his callousness) impeach him from his throne and throw him into jail. it's perfect. plus, he'll be able to spend freedom with you forever and ever <3

Full Family AU Part 34
CRACK!
Marilyn blocked the first swing of Camila's bat with her staff. And then the second. And third.
"Jeeze! Lady! Ease up!"
"You! Owe! Me! MONEY!"
"I'll pay! I'm good for it!"
Camila stops her next swing, staying still and narrowing her eyes at Marilyn. "Are you?"
"YES!" Marilyn exclaimed before taking a breath and standing up straight and looking composed. "I'm sorry. I make it an effort of not paying things. Now...How many snails do I owe you?"
"SNAILS?!" Camila yelled before swinging her bat some more, to which Marilyn started sporadically blocking each attack.
"GAH! WHAT DID I SAY?!"
As Marilyn tried, and consistently struggled, to defend herself, King ran up to the pair, keeping his distancing but yapping at them with many "Wehs!" Luz saw this, and her eyes sparkled over the cuteness.
"Papi! Can I pet the puppy?!" She asked her stunned father. "I want to pet the puppy!"
"Wha--Uh, hang on, Mija." Manny ran over to Vee and scooped her up into his arms as well. She still hyper-focused on Eda, though. And Manny was concerned by the fact that she didn't seem to notice he's there. "Camila! Maybe we should leave this crazy woman!"
"NOT UNTIL SHE PAYS!" Camila shouted, going for another swing. But not only did Marilyn blocked it, she then swung her staff back, causing the bat to fly out of Camila's hands. Defiant, Marilyn then pointed the head of her staff at Camila's face with a very smug smirk.
"HA!" she laughed. "Now what are you going to do with yer weird stick thing?!"
Camila answered that by grabbing the staff and using her own strength to pushed it back and hit Marilyn square in the stomach. It did the effect of causing her to double over and winded, letting go of her staff in the process.
"Okay..." She croaked. "That was pretty good..."
Camila used the staff, firmly grasped in her hands now, to tilt Marilyn's head up so she could properly see the rage in Camila's eyes.
"I am a mother," she growled. "And recently, I have just became a mother of two. I work hard to provide food, shelter, and many more things to keep my baby happy, and now I have to go into double time to do it for my new baby! I will not let some cheapskate with her weird dog think she can run out without paying me for the hard work I put in!"
"...To be fair, I wouldn't call an hour of looking him over that hard of work," Marilyn said.
"SHUT UP AND GIVE ME MY MONEY!" Camila shouted, the tip of the staff glowing yellow. Marilyn raised her hands up in surrender because of it.
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I'll do whatever you say! Just watch it with that thing, okay? There's enough stored power in there for--"
Unfortunately, Marilyn was cut off as a blast of yellow energy shot out of the staff, causing her head to fly clean off her body and hit a tree.
All but Vee gawked at this display. She may have switched her attention from Marilyn to the staff now, but she still remained in her stagnant state. As for Camila, her eyes focused on the headless body, shocked beyond comprehension as to what she's done and how it still seemed to miraculously sit up.
It wasn't until the hands started to feel around where the head used to be that Camila's shock turned to pure terror.
"Oh, look what you did, lady!" the head exclaimed from where it's at while the body pointed an accusing finger at Camila. "You see what rage does? It gets you so mad that you literally take someone's head off! Got anything to say for yourself?!"
Camila...had nothing to say. Nothing to think. She just stared at the finger of a headless body until it all went dark and she just flopped down onto the grass, completely passed out.

So, @zestydistress claims that the world is ready for a Spacedolls Miraculous AU, so allow me to introduce Ricky Potts (an ordinary not-quite-a-boy with an ordinary life) aka. Bachelorbug!
Some facts about Ricky below the cut:
Transmasc NBLW (he/they)
Is primarily inspired by a mix between Station Theatre, Playhouse Collective, and SUNY Purchase's portrayals of Ricky (with a good hint of Yannick for good measure), with the former two's SABM outfits inspiring the Ladybug outfit.
Is half-Puerto Rican (on his mother's side)
His father is a semi-renowned pastor, while his mother is one of the greatest (read: only) veterinarian in all of Uranium City
They have Alexander's disease, Frederich's Ataxia, POTS, and general joint issues, regularly needing mobility aids (they have a cane, forearm crutches, and a wheelchair, depending on specific needs)
In addition to his parents, he lives with his 14 cats and an assortment of other pets from his mother's side job as an animal shelter worker
They have always dreamed of being a professional comic book artist, and their weird storylines resulted in them gaining the title of "The Most Imaginative Kid in Town"
For being regularly ignored and looked down on due to their disability (especially by Ocean), Ricky still makes it through each day with optimism and a smile on his face, for one day, he could be renowned as a hero...
But, little did Ricky know, this little fantasy of theirs was about to come true...
After helping out an old man, now known as Master Karnak, Ricky was gifted a mysterious box that contained a mysterious electric-guitar-playing ladybug spirit that calls itself "Tikki"
Tikki gifted Ricky a pair of earrings that would enable them to transform into the hero "Bachelorbug", and, wouldn't you know it, they instantly jumped at the opportunity to be a hero
Anything to live out his fantasies and get some excitement in the small and boring town of Uranium...
And they even get a sexy cat lady as their Akuma-fighting partner...
(On an extra note, Ricky really loves collecting caps, and the Steven Universe cap is his personal favorite, although he has a bunch of different types of hats.)
Ricky has been best friends with Noel, Ocean, and Constance ever since they were little, but Ocean and Constance grew apart from the group, but at least they still have Noel as their BFF (transmasc lesbian/transfem gay solidarity)

You mentioned wanting 'popcorn fic' - if you could somehow miraculously zap a fic into being, what would you want it to be about?
(Besides the Magical Girl AU lol)
..........now, that's cheating. i was gonna say the magical girl au. you can't just tell me i'm not allowed to say my magical girl au. now i have to actually think about the answer to this question,
so. i'm going with my mood lately which has actually been "empires season one but only in a very in-the-weeds way that i'm not sure the fic of my dreams exists for and i also don't currently have bandwidth for" so let me suggest. i had this fic concept. way back when it was still going. that i think still works now. and it would probably end up being mostly ocs but also probably joel and pixlriffs. and. after the apocalypse. an entire fic that's just. they bury the dead. they count the ones they've still got. joel finds himself in charge of more refugees than he knows what to do with; pixlriffs doesn't know where he'll get water. but they have to do something. they're the ones left who are in charge.
so they pick themselves up and its just a WHOLE FIC of in-the-weeds rebuilding.
also it would 100% lean into my pet headcanon of "empires one eternal winter was actually a nuclear winter" and we'd go into "how do we make food work" "how do we make shelters work" "we start to spread both lizzie's epic and tails of sausage and pearl to move us towards season two". and it would be so, so much just... in depth nationbuilding and working together to recover using meager resources and a prayer and.
yeah this is just a cross of certain brilliance and something more political. i'm really predictable, to be fair.
anyway the alternate e1 fic that i wish i could just make spring into the world fully formed is "xonorth's defeat is him being put on house arrest in gilded helianthia", for the record.

crack au but the more i wrote the more i took it seriously: After almost-dying-but-not-dying as a baby, the reason maggie doesn't get found is bc a prodigy nearby accidentally uses their power on her. And turns her, into an actual magpie. The specifics of the power effectively cursing other ppl to turn into any kind of animal when they feel xyz emotion. Prodigy never realizes and leaves b4 fixing anything
Kids from the prodigy children's home take the injured baby birdo in to be sort of like a class pet, nursing her back to health. At some point she's shooed out of there for taking up resources, its a children's home not an animal shelter! Maybe if they hadn't, she'd have eventually shifted back into a human and things would have played out differently. But oh well, she flies away and quickly finds herself at home at Renegades HQ, becoming an absolute MENACE
Where the renegades are she'll sometimes trail along and snag the shiny and valuable trinkets she spots. Seemingly NO ONE can befriend her, she can get very snappy and really REALLY LOUD when she's upset. She still has the mind of a human, but when u've been a birb most of the time ur whole life, you're gonna act like a birb. Oh what a menace
She acts the friendliest with Callum, meaning some days she's nice and some days she'll cause problems. But at least usually she won't knock things over if Callum is there.
Adrian comes second in terms of friendliness, him and Callum being the only ones that know how to get da birb under control. Sometimes he'll draw up distractions to get her attention, like shiny things that have no actual value since he made them. It gets her attention for long enough for anyone to get back their valuables, but not long enough to actually trick her into thinking what he made was real.
Maggie is as smart as a hooman but she also has birb temptations and the silliness compels me to believe that she can both be smart and briefly fooled as a birb
I think Callum would be the first to figure out that Maggie's actually just a human that got turned into a birb, but wouldn't have much evidence to prove it before his death. Adrian would have his suspicions but he wouldn't be able to do jack shit about it by the time the events of the trilogy come to stress him out.
Nova contemplates shooting the fucking birb oh so many times, but she's much less inclined to those ideas when she hears the theories that actually Maggie is a human turned bird. Then its more a matter of will someone tame this thing already, why hasn't she been turned back yet?!
When Maggie gets a hold of Nova's bracelet in the supernova version of this au, Nova would have to do a bunch of chasing her around to find the nest she's keeping her bracelet in (there are numerous nests too its frustrating). Maggie is REALLY NOT HAPPY when Nova sticks her hand into her stash, especially when Nova grabs the bullet too.
Maggie retains her Asset Perception and Telekinesis but really doesn't use them very often as a birb. Much more the FEW occasions as a human pre reveal, its easier to use telekinesis than practice grabbing stuff as a human after all. It isn't impossible for her to use her powers as a birb, but she'd have to be very stressed to do so, such as when her most prized possession is stolen from one of her safe spots. And as a baby birb, after being nursed back to health, she found were the bullet had been put miraculously and stole it back, hiding it in a secret nest until she'd have to move.
She'd probably figure out her backstory via ppl repeating how they found her to other ppl. Some details would probably be lost like the status of her family but doesn't mean its impossible for her to piece together later.
And since i can't NOT talk about trinket duo, Max is the only one Maggie is pretty much ALWAYS friendly with. She's hesitant to trust at first, but warms up quickly much to the shock of EVERYONE. Once they become besties, everyone goes to max when she's being a nuisance. At least prior to the reveal
The reveal that Maggie is actually a human AND she's Evie Artino would back to back bombshells for everyone involved god could you IMAGINE it would be insanity, especially for Nova. Like, what do you mean my baby sister became A BIRD is she dreaming wtf is this
As stated earlier, the curse would allow her to shift back given some requirements, probably that she feels safe and isn't in any survival mode. Being a human vs being a birb have different advantages after all. Callum would get close to seeing her shift, but only ever actually see either Human Maggie or Birb Maggie, never the in between. And like i said, the stressful stuff going on in the second and third book would make it hard to get this addressed anyway
Potentially the first time someone, aside from Callum, sees her as a human would be in the final battle and she gets shot with Agent N and goes down. She'd be assumed dead until Nova would realize post battle that there.. there is a kid here. A kid sobbing by the corpse of Callum, sobbing like its the first time you're crying and you can't control it. The case that carried the serum either on the ground nearby or still lodged in the kid's arm, i can't remember if they did the same amount of damage as a bullet atm so lets just say theres a wound but probably not serious enough to be fatal
Nova wouldn't have enough time to realize its THE FUCKING BIRD but the kid's appearance makes her heart hurt. Maggie wouldn't be able to make many coherent words, if any at all, but she'd glare daggers. Nova might try to calm her but ultimately puts her to sleep, an issue for later
Later comes around, Max's power would probably change her back, this time round just giving it to her as a legit power instead of a curse. Nova, after healing and processing more important parts of the last few days, would be very confused about where she went. No one knows anything about a girl like she described.
Maggie can't help remaining as a bird post Callum's death, even tho she technically has the ability to change back. The grief would be too much, and i think she would act like a traumatized bird would in this scenario. Feather picking, is much quieter, decreased appetite, etc.
I think Max friendship would lessen those issues both since she'd be human around him more often, wouldn't feel birb urges and feels safe, AND also bc Max would tattle. He doesn't want to see her accidentally hurt herself with going to ham with feather picking after all, he researched that it could happen.
Maggie would be given bracelets to remain human for periods of time so she can get better control of her abilities, keep herself safe, and get used to being a human. She's not happy about that at all but her complaints will only be heard if she learns to talk like a human, not a super difficult transition given Magpie's can mimic noises, but its still a challenge.
First words: "fuck you" Not to Max, she knows why he told even if she wasn't happy about it. No, those words are for Adrian, who is the person Max told first. It makes so much sense to Adrian he doesn't even ask any more questions before believing Max, to his brother's shock. Later when Maggie won't act like a stressed birb while as birb, most of the training is with Danna due to power similarities
As a human Maggie can walk, kind of, she's shifted to being a human before, but she'd much rather fly. Much too clumsy as a human. As a human she almost never goes anywhere without Max, both feeling protective of Max and also needing the support. But that isn't too different from how she acts as a birdo since she'd absolutely hop around while following Max. Its just she doesn't want to go anywhere without max as a human.
The Evie reveal would probably come a little later after the Being Human Confirmed revelation, and thus ensues both sisters having complicated feelings about it. Probably wouldn't be all too different from my other ramblings about how it could go down, but Maggie's grievances more in line with "you tried to bat me away with a broom one time" They'd make up eventually, not like theres much in the way of them reconnecting in this au after all. Nova never imagined that she'd see a bunch of Evie's firsts when she barely turned 13 but here they are.

Ch. 2 Ch. 3 Ch. 3.5 Ch. 4 Ch. 5 Ch. 6
Tumblr media
“So do you like your new puppy?” I asked the little girl that was trying to hold a squirming golden retriever pup. She frantically nodded her head. How cute!
“Congratulations on the new addition to your family! We’ll send someone for an inspection soon but I don't see how there can be any problems,” I reassured the parents. They were proudly beaming at their daughter, I doubt they even heard what you said. 
“I’m going to name him Bubbles!” Sana squeaked excitedly as the family left with their new pet. I suppressed a giggle, I was a sucker for cuteness. 
Seeing one of our animals get adopted was the best feeling in the world. Running a shelter was not the easiest thing in the world, grumpy animals, grumpy humans and an abundance of body fluids to clean up but it was rewarding. Calico was a no-kill shelter, a privately owned animal shelter. The upside was that we didn’t have to rely on the government for funding, the downside was the paperwork. Every animal that came to the shelter had to be meticulously checked and catalogued. 
The legalities were another headache. Most animals that came to Calico were rescues. We worked with several animal rights organizations that collected evidence and built cases against the owners. Sometimes we got rescues that weren’t exactly legal so we had to get the evidence and build the case ourselves. That’s why Calico had Song Hwa, a badass lawyer. She was just five feet tall but she could stare down men twice her size. 
“One down, two to go,” Jason said as he plopped down on the couch in your office. He was the head veterinarian at Calico, overseeing the health of the animals. He was also my best friend. 
“We have three potential families visiting tomorrow. How’s Hector doing?” I asked as I stretched in your chair. 
“He’s good but I’m still against the name Hector. He looks more like a Raphael,” Jason said with a frown. Last week one of our animal handlers Shownu found a box near the shelter’s gate. There was a small turtle in it, the poor thing was injured. Jason had to amputate his left hind leg because it was infected. 
“I’m not naming him after a mutant turtle. He’s a one legged turtle from the sea, he’s a pirate and nothing you say will change my mind,” I had named him after Hector Barbosa from Pirates of the Carribean movies after I won the rock paper scissors tournament against Jason. 
“Dorks,” Hana scoffed from the corner. She was the one who dealt with the potential families, showing them around the shelter, doing background checks and whatnot. I was the one who sealed the deal and dealt with the paperwork. I was terrible at social niceties, somehow I always ended up saying the wrong thing and had the worst timing in the history of humanity. 
Before Jason and I could retaliate Moonji burst through the door. “He’s back, Yonu is here,” he was breathless. He must’ve ran here all the way from the gates. Moonji was the other animal handler, he was a retired botanist with a wife and two daughters. 
We all collectively sighed. Yonu was a proud member of Animal Liberation Front, an extremist group or as the government would like to call them “animal rights terrorists”. Once in a blue moon Yonu would drop by without a warning to drop off rescued lab animals, he had a thing against scientists. The problem was that they were illegally acquired so we had to lie on the paperwork. Every time Yonu visited Calico, it was a stress fest for everyone, well everyone except Yonu. 
I reluctantly made my way to the exam room. Yonu was standing there bickering with Song Hwa with a box of rabbits. 
“We are NOT taking in the rabbits unless you tell us where you got them!” Song Hwa put her foot down. 
“It's classified,” Yonu said with a grin. 
“Then take them back,” Song Hwa was staring daggers at him.
“Yonu, you know we need to clear the legal side of things,” I shook my head, he knew how things worked. Usually he would brag about his conquest, giving us in depth details about his adventures. Sometimes he brought back research and documents for evidence.Something didn’t sit right with me. Where did he get the rabbits? Why wouldn’t he tell us?
“Sorry sugar, can’t share the details this time,” I sighed at his nickname. One day Yonu discovered that I didn’t like sugar in my coffee and he decided to start calling me Sugar. He was one annoying bastard. 
Jason was already weighing the rabbits and taking their temperature. No matter what methods Yonu used to ‘rescue’ the animals, we always took them in. Song Hwa always said I was too soft, she didn’t know how wrong she was.
There were seven rabbits in total. All white with long ears and pink noses. They were unusually small. “Yonu did you kidnap kittens?” I frowned as I leaned in to take a closer look. 
“No they are all adult males,” Jason interjected. He was checking them one by one, taking their blood to run tests, checking their limbs for any injuries, it was a routine procedure. 
“Aren’t they too small?” they were.
“Maybe they are like those toy poodles… toy bunnies?” Song Hwa suggested. It could be or maybe their growth was stunted. Either way, I didn’t like it, something was off about this, I just couldn’t put my finger on it. 
Jason was running blood panels in the lab as I took over the paperwork. The rabbits were safely left in a hatch outside in the garden. Yonu had miraculously disappeared as soon as we turned our backs and I was starting to get a headache. 
The rabbits barely showed any movement when they were being examined. They were practically limp in Jason’s hands. They had clearly been abused. I didn’t like the blank look in their eyes. Most of the time if the animal was scared it’d get defensive and lash out, it was a good sign, it meant that it still had its faculties. These rabbits didn’t make a squeak as they were moved to a new place, it was worrying. I just hoped they weren’t too far gone. 
“We have a problem,” Jason said as soon as I entered the lab. He was sitting in front of the computer, double checking the results. 
“This day just keeps getting better,” I murmured as I leaned in to see what he was looking at. Not that I could make any sense of it. 
“One of the rabbits is a hybrid,” did I hear that right?
“Come again?” did he just say what I thought he said?
“We have a hybrid in our hatch,” my heart sank.
The presence of a hybrid posed a threat to Calico. Not because he was dangerous, but because he was stolen. The laws regarding hybrids were still primitive in most countries. They were basically slaves to the system, regarded as sub-human. Hybrids were considered as property, something to be owned. Rare animal hybrids were highly sought after by the wealthy to show off their status. So technically the rabbit hybrid in our hatch belonged to someone, we had no right to keep him here. If his owner found out, they would sue us. If the government found that we were keeping a stolen hybrid they’d shut us down. 
“Let’s just send him to a hybrid shelter,” Shownu huffed. The staff was gathered in your office for an emergency meeting.
“Most of those shelters have terrible conditions. Why not just keep him here, we have license to house hybrids, it's not that big of a deal,” Jason said. 
“Might I remind you that he is stolen. We can’t keep him here, we have a shelter inspection next week,” Song Hwa frowned. 
Few months ago we had decided to expand Calico to accommodate hybrids too, we had enough room to do so. We had constructed a hybrid “enclosure” as per the government guidelines. They had sent us the requirements. … they wanted us to put people in cages. We all collectively agreed that no hybrid will ever be housed in that place. No matter what anyone said, they were still human. 
“We can’t just abandon him, who knows what those lab people did to him,” Hana retaliated and an argument broke out. I knew they loved this place, they all wanted what’s good for the shelter. This wasn’t this first time we had to lie but having a hybrid was different. None of us had ever dealt with a hybrid before, even if we decided to keep him, what then? But I knew I couldn’t hand him over. Calico was built on a simple principle, to help those who were in need. And that rabbit hybrid needed our help. 
“Enough. We took in the animals that Yonu had brought before because they needed help. We’ve lied on the documents and it’s no different this time. That hybrid needs our help, we just need to come up with a plan,” I passed the verdict. Not everyone liked it but I knew they’d never let me down. 
After the stressful day all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch with Jason and watch TV. Our house was on the edge of the property, secluded in the forest. It was a country cottage with a private garden. YouI stopped by the rabbit hatch on my way back. The poor bunnies were all squished together in a corner, scared of the new environment and the open space outside. 
I couldn’t tell which one was the hybrid as I leaned in to take a look. Looking for him was no use. Maybe talking would work. I sat down beside the hatch with a sigh.
“I know you’re there,” I said quietly. “It must’ve been scary huh? Being taken from the lab. Yonu, the man who brought you here, he’s a good person. He only wanted to help. His methods aren’t always ….well savory but his heart was in the right place. Do you know what this place is? It's called Calico, it's a shelter for animals. We take care of animals who need help and find them a new home. 
“This is my sanctuary. Nobody will hurt you here. You don’t have to be scared. You are safe here, I’m going to keep you safe, okay?” One of the rabbits was looking at me, he quickly ducked his head as he caught my gaze. I smiled, he was listening. 
“You must be hungry huh? Rabbits only get veggies and greens, don’t you want to eat pizza, and ice cream, and pancakes, maybe some sashimi…” I rambled on about food, about Calico and the staff, inside the hatch a bunny was listening intently to my stories.

AU August - Day One: Coffee Shop
Guess what tiiime it iiiis~?
Also, if anyone is wondering what my prompt list is this year, it comes from twitter! Do it with me! Meanwhile, here’s my fill for today~
Series: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: G Genre: Fluff, Angst Pairing(s): Cheesecake, Adrinette Summary: Cat-spresso Yourself is an adorable little cat café that serves up cute food with cute cat companions. Usually, it’s quite pleasant, but someone unpleasant has come by. Warning: A technical Part Two to this fill from last year… and minor Lila salt.
Tikki, Plagg, and Marinette stared at the table in the corner of Cat-spresso Yourself with different feelings, but none of them positive. Marinette scowled, Tikki’s ears were pulled, and Plagg was growling, tail whipping irritably behind him. There was not typically an issue if Adrien brought a guest with him. Kagami was cold and direct, but had similar social issues that Adrien had, and had no idea what to do when the biggest ragdoll just draped itself across her lap. And his co-worker, the dark beauty Juleka, was soft-spoken and withdrawn, but warmed up immediately once she had their toyger kitten in her hands.
However, those two young women were not this one.
No one else was Lila Rossi and thank god for that. 
Lila Rossi was - admittedly - gorgeous as many models were. Beautiful, flawless skin naturally tanned by the Italian sun when she lived there, gorgeous olive green eyes, slim and tall; perfect for photos and the runway. Now, if only her personality matched her beauty, but Marinette would compare it to spoiled milk - the kind you pour and don’t realize it’s spoiled until you taste it. In Lila’s case obviously, it wasn’t until she talked that one didn’t realize she matched the stereotypical self-centered model and then some because even those models probably didn’t lie as much.
The first time she’d come to the café, Marinette received a surprise visit from the health inspector the next day.
The second time, animal control had been contacted because an anonymous source reported one of the cats as rabid, but Marinette and the shelter that brought many of her new cats had their record up-to-date.
The third time… well, this was the third visit. And how suspicious it seemed she had come so soon after Adrien had visited.
Marinette had decided after the first incident already that she was prepared for anything Lila might do to shut her café down; however, she didn’t think that her presence might make Adrien miserable after Kagami and Juleka hadn’t had the same effect. Or maybe she had just assumed someone like Adrien got along with all his fellow models. How could a human be more clingy than her stray cats?
Sighing, Marinette glanced down at the gentle bump against her arm and caught Tikki’s deep blue eyes gazing back upon her. The calico mewed and purred, rubbing more, and Marinette managed a weak smile.
“I’ll be okay, girl. Thank you though…”
She’d have to wash her hands, but Tikki earned a pet for comforting her. As for Plagg, Marinette realized where there once had been a black furry void was now just counter space. Barely a second later did she hear one of her reusable cups clatter against the ground and a loud shriek mixed with a deep, bellowing and demanding meow.
“Oh, hey Plagg!”
Marinette laughed under her breath.
She would get the mop in a second.

Pets
Bio!Dad Bruce
Day 17: Pets
Ao3 ~~~ First ~~~ Previous ~~~ Next
Just got to shout out  @thebookwormfairy because i love your Captian the Retired Police Dog Au and pet_foolery of Pixie and Brutus who were an inspiration for this
~~~~~~~~~~
Damian was looking everywhere for Titus and Ace to take them for a walk. Unfortunately for him he couldn't find either of them anywhere. He checked the kitchen, the cave, the living rooms, his room and they weren't there.
As he was passing Mari's room and her sewing room, he heard her sewing machine stop.
"Hey Qamri have you seen" he started as he walked in and he saw them "Titus and Ace" he finished in a huff crossing his arms still holding the the leads.
"They've been here all morning" she gave a small laugh as she secured a new bandana on Ace.
"They always are" he grumbled. "You need your own pet"
As soon as he said it a huge smile was on his face as well as his sister's. Once they made eye contact they raced out of the sewing room Ace and Titus close on their heels.
They ran through the manor looking for their father. They stopped at his study but he wasn't there. They turned around bumping into Drake but none of them said anything. They passed through the gym but to no avail and as they rushed through Todd seemed to eye them.
They went trough the living room but no one was there. So they went down to the cave, where they found him.
"Father/Dad" they called out at the same time.
He turned around from the monitor.
"Yes Wh.." he was cut off by Todd.
"What the hell is going on" Todd yelled "You two tore through the manor and Demon spawn is smiling so this can't be good."
"Wait what is going on" Grayson asked from next to their father.
"I would like to know that as well" Father finally answered.
"Can I get a pet?" Mari asked "I'll be responsible I swear. I already take one of the Kwamii. Please" as she then unleashed her puppy eyes.
"Please Father" he asked as well.
"Of course, only another pet could get that Demon to smile" they heard Todd grumble.
"At least he's asking" Drake seemed to responded.
"Fine" Father relented with a sigh. "But only one and Mari gets to pick them out"
As soon as he said that they heard Jason leave the cave grumbling.
"Yes" Mari cheered running up to father giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before they both ran out of the cave.
He and Mari got to the garage where they saw Jason.
"I'm driving" he responded "I don't trust that Demon here to not come back with just one" he finished as Mari got in the car.
The drive to the shelter was mostly filled with suggestions and debate between what pet she would choose. As well as mumbled grumbles from Jason
Whether it would be dog or a cat. A cat to be a friend with Alfred or a dog of her own.
She also thought of possibly a bird or hamster. Both were rejected on the premise of Alfred.
Then she thought of maybe a rabbit. At this point she just seemed to quiet down and was lost in thought.
As the three exited the car and made their way in Jason's grumbles continued "Maybe it'll be a bunny, their quiet, with floppy ears" Damian just had to chuckle of that.
---
Stepping into the shelter she couldn't believe how many animals were there. She knew that she wanted to find every one of them a home. But she also remembered that Dad said only one pet.
"Do you guys mind if I walk the kennels alone?"
"Go for it" Jason replied almost immediately.
"But "Damian started but Jay-Jay pulled him away before he could argue.
The puppies and kittens were the closest to the entrance. She crouched down and they excitedly went up to her before playing with one another again.
She continued down until the end of the hall way she turned around and that was when she saw him. The name on the information sheet was Sentinel. He was a German Shepard which may have been why he was isolated.
He was curled up on the bed in his kennel, his head down watching her.
She didn't know why but she sat down in the hallway.
"Hi there" she spoke softly smiling. "I'm Marinette" he perked up and seemed to study her before standing up and walking over to the gate.
At this they watched one another before he sat down. She reached towards him and offered to have him smell her hand.
He sniffed her and licked her hand as well.
"How did you do that" she heard a voice behind her. She turned to see her brothers and an employee who was the one who spoke.
"Do what?" she asked for clarification.
"Sentinel here wouldn't let anyone near him and here he is licking your hand."
"Oh" she could only answer.
"Why wouldn't he let anyone near him?' Jason asked worried.
"He was a military dog who lost his handler"
"Why didn't he get a new handler then?" Mari asked.
"We think they tried but he didn't respond to them well. So he was placed here"
She looked back at the dog in-front of her. He seemed sweet and quiet, but also fiercely loyal.
"Do you want to come home with us?" she asked placing her hand just inside the gate. He looked over at Damian and Jason and seemed to size them up.
After which he nudged her hand with his nose and licked her again. Now having her attention he stood up wagging his tail and gave a short bark.
"I believe that means yes" Damian almost seemed to laugh.
The employee went to take him for grooming while we went to fill out the adoption papers. Sentinel looked over at her, to which she nodded, and he left without a hassle. Much to the relief of the employee it seemed.
Afterwards they went to the pet store to get him a few chew toys, collar, lead, and a dog bed. After that they went to the vet to get him chipped and to double check his vaccinations before heading home.
Once at the Manor he seemed to get along well with both Titus and Ace. Alfred, the cat, gave him a lazy glance before returning to a nap. But the entire time he didn't leave her side.
He took a quick liking to Dick and Damian, Dick she's pretty sure it's cause she laughed at something he did. And Damian because he respected Sentinel’s space and possibly a bit of bribery.
He seemed neutral with everyone else.
Except when anyone seems to need or loose something, which he finds faster than you could even ask.

Miraculous borderlands
Here’s a few ideas I had, nothing concrete, just something I though each character would be like for this AU.
Marinette, Codename: Ladybug. Class: Siren. Ability: (undecided) Weapon preferences: Smg’s and pistols and healing.
Story: due to being a siren, has a huge bounty on her head, drawn to the ‘Borderlands ’ to be able to hide more. Has a small A.I friend called Tikki, Tikki inhabits a hand sized Ladybug shaped bot, she is harmless and can heal small injuries.
Adrien, Codename: Chat Noir. Class: Rookie. Ability: Cataclysm. (Sends out a swarm of nanobots to destroy the target, shifts to another target if first is destroyed before time expires) Weapon preferences: assault rifles and shotguns
Story: Bored of being stuck at home he ran away with a large chunk of his inheritance for a life of adventure with his pet robot cat Plagg, Plagg is equipped with small Molecular Nano-Claws that can rend flesh. He is extremely dangerous. Gabriel has a bounty out for Adrien’s return.
Alya Codename: Rena Rogue. Class: illusionist. Ability: Mirage. (Using Digi-struct technology, is able to create lifelike illusions to fool enemies into blindly attacking them.) Weapons: Snipers, SMG’s.
Nino Codename: Carapace. Class: defender. Ability: shelter. (Able to create a highly resistant shield in any shape for defense, shield is stationary and lasts only so long on its own.) Weapons: shotguns and melee.
Max: Runs the Catch-a-ride system with A.I buddy Markov.
Sabrina: [WARNING, SABRINA RAINCOMPRIX IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, SO NOT ENGAGE! HAS A TENDENCY TO USE EXPOLSIVES] message from Mr. Torgue: YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR F*CKING ASS! THIS LOYAL CUSTOMER IS EXTREMELY AWESOME! SHE HAS EVERY TYPE OF EXPLOSIVE WEAPON IN HER ARSENAL! RESPECT THE DEMOLITION WOMAN!
I dunno, that’s what I got. Do what you will with it.
———
NICE
I LOVE THAT SABRINA IS FERAL

What if Marinette had a Retired Police Dog as a Pet
@ozmav
This is going to be another Daminette with an au of an au, but Damian doesn't come in until a ways in the story just bare with me.
It's been 2 years since Lila the Liar came back to class and she has successfully turned all of Marinette's classmates against her
Her crush on Adrien has officially fizzled out thanks to him doing absolutely nothing to stand by her as he once promised
She couldn't even turn to Chat because of his increasingly bad attitude towards her when ever she rejects him
He's not even showing up to half the akuma attacks
It's a good thing the attacks are becoming more spaced out
But the Akumas seem to be stronger the more time that passes between attacks
On the bright side with all her new free time she was able to work more on her designs that lead to more work worh Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale who after seeing Marinette's work with Jagged decided that she needed a piece done by her too
Her parents noticing that their lovely daughter who once was full of sunshine was getting duller by the day so they wanted to try and do something a little bit crazy to cheer her up a bit
So one Saturday they went to the local animal shelter to get Marinette a new friend
Marinette didn't know what to expect when her parents were going to take her but she wasn't expecting the animal shelter
She has to say she's not mad about it
Her life has gotten really lonely lately
She usually would just hang out with Luka and Kagami her only true friends but they've been pretty busy lately
So when she saw the animal shelter she got pretty excited
Marinette: really?
Tom: Really you can get any animal you want?
Tom and Sabine were expecting her to get a cat or maybe one of the rodents that people dropped who didn't realized how much work they were but know so some reason she went to the scary looking German sheperd that was laying in the corner
Marinette couldn't explain it but she just felt drawn to this dog
He seemed just as sad and lonely as she was
Marinette slowly walked up to the giant dog
Marinette: hey there buddy
The dog just raised his head gave her an unimpressed look before laying his head back down
Marinette: I guess you've been here a while huh. I've been alone a while too, but maybe we can be alone together.
The German sheperd looked at this funny little girl that's sitting next to him, not many people even bothered giving him a second look.
They mostly just want to see the puppies the older dogs rarely get adopted, and he wasn't sure he wanted a human not after what happened to his last human
But looking into this girls eyes he saw something in them that was similar to his own. She has seen some much stuff just like him
So even though he may not have wanted a human but it looks like he has one now
He gave the girl a lick on the cheek to show that he wanted to be her dog
Marinette: I'll take that as a yes
Marinette gave him a big hug
Tom and Sabine could see the writing on the wall Marinette has found her dog and he's huge
Sabine waved down an employee to let them know they found the dog they wanted
Employee: oh are you sure? That's Captain he was a police dog.
Tom: Was? What happened?
Employee: He was on the force for 2 years before he lost his partner in a drug bust gone bad. After that he kinda just shut down he wouldn't work with any other officers. And nobody would take him so he ended up here.
Tom and Sabine were a bit worried after hearing that but hearing their daughter laugh as Captain plopped down on her lap washed away all their worries
Tom and Sabine: We'll take him
Captain's bond with Marinette only grew since that day
They did everything they could together
He would even wait for her outside of school when they got out for lunch and to go home
Tom even put a doggy door in so that Captain can pick up Marinette from school
He even has his own dog bed in the bakery where he would lay down while Marinette was at school
Marinette would make him tons of bandanas
Each of them different
A lot of them are police themed
His favorite is a black bandana with a yellow sheriff's badge on it but instead of saying sheriff it says Captain
Captain enjoys just laying on Marinette's lap as she sews and design new clothes
He can always tell when Marinette is down, and would give her a kiss to cheer her up
Captain has tons of toys
He loves squeaky toys and hard toys
He does have a few plush toys but he is a known toy destroyer when it comes to them
Kagami and Luka love him
He tolerates them in return
They make his girl happy so they're okay in his book
Captain loves Tikki though and vice versa
Tikki loves cuddling on top of him and Captain enjoys her belly rubs
She also sneaks him treats when Marinette isn't looking
The class also knows about Captain but they don't like him because he growled at Lila once
Captain can tell a bad person when he sees one he spent his whole puppy hood learning to do that.
He also really doesn't like Adrien
A year and a couple of months after Marinette and Captain found each other Marinette's class was chosen to take a class trip to Gotham
They'll be there 2 weeks at the end of the school year so that they wouldn't miss much work
Marinette was so excited
She gave Luka and Kagami their miraculous to hold for the 2 weeks while she was gone just in case an akuma shows up, but that would be unlikely considering there was an attack just the weekend before she left
The only downside is that she couldn't take Captain with her
They really haven't been separated from her for more than a couple of hours apart, and he is super protective of her so that might stress him out if she just wasn't there one day.
It was decided that Captain would come with her parents to say goodbye at the airport
Captain knew what was going on
They were sending away his girl for who knows how long, and he wouldn't be there to protect her.
Well Captain wasn't having it. His girl isn't going anywhere without him
While Tom and Sabine were distracted he slipped out of his collar (keeping his favorite bandana on) and slipped onto the plane with the TSA agent that was walking on the plane.
He made sure to stay close enough to make it look like he was with the agent but far away enough that the agent didn't notice him.
After he hid under the table in the back of the plane
Captain didn't make his presence know until 2 hours into the flight
If asked he would say it was his plan so they couldn't turn around and take him off the plane but in reality he fell asleep back there and just woke up at the time.
There was chaos when Captain came out
The class was not happy and Lila was crying about how Marinette was just looking for attention and snuck her dog on the plane
Marinette: He's more than half my size how exactly would I be able to sneak him on the plane? How did nobody notice a big random dog on board?
The flight staff feeling a bit embarrassed about being called out on such a big mistake decided to leave it there for now, and luckily for Marinette she had an open seat by her that Captain could sit on.
Once they landed Marinette had to be held back at customes the make sure Captain wouldn't cause a plague to any dog he met while there
One of the teachers stayed behind with her so she wouldn't be alone at the airport in a foriegn countey
After 2 hours and a fax from her parents, and a bathroom break for poor Captain she and Captain was free to go, but thanks to the hold up Marinette missed not only the group dinner they were going to have but was also forced into a room by herself cutting herself off from her classmates even more.
After Marinette had everything unpacked she found her teacher and asked if she could go to a near by pet store so that she could pick up stuff that Captain needed
Ms. Bustier said she could go if she got a buddy to go with her
Marinette tried to ask her classmates
She thought for sure Adrien would at least come with her but no
Everybody said no
Nobody took pity on her
They all agreed with Lila and thought she snuck Captain here for attention
Adrien even lectured her about trying to cause problems for Lila
Well fine then she'll just go by herself
Captain WAS a police dog
He would be able to protect her if something happened
Not the mention she was ladybug she could take care of herself
So leaving the hotel with Captain by her side Marinette felt no fear going out on the night
It was a bit of a walk to the closest pet store, but when they got there it was worth it
The store had absolutely everything that Marinette needed, a collar, leash, dog bowls, dog food, poop bags, dog shampoo, and even had enough money to get him a squeaky toy in the shape of a robin
Marinette spent a lot more time in the store then she thought she would so by the time she left it was way past the time it was consider safe to be out on the streets of Gotham especially when you're a 16 year old girl with her dog and arms full of bags
That's what Damian Wayne was thinking when he saw her walking on the street
He was on his patrol root when he saw the most beautiful girl he ever seen with a dog connect to her hand via a leash
Well Damian couldn't just let a beautiful girl like this walk to wherever she's going by herself so he swung down to the alleyway so he could escort her
Marinette was on high alert
Gotham was a lot different then Paris, while she felt safe even comforted walking through the Parisain nights
But here all she felt was jittery and scared
While passing one of the many dark allies in the city Captain started growling
He got in front of Marinette and growled at the person in the alley
Captain refused to let anybody harm Marinette while he was still around
Damian: Hold of your dog I come in peace.
Damian walked out of the alley with his arms raised to show that he didn't mean any harm
Captain kept growling
Marinette: Oh your Robin aren't you one of Gotham heroes
Captain kept growling
Damian: yes can you please call off your dog
Marinette:oh of course! *Marinette bends down to pet Captain* it's okay Captain he's a good guy. You can stand down
Captain stopped growling but he made sure to stay between his girl and the boy in tights
Damian: you know miss it really isn't safe to be wondering the streets alone at night maybe I can walk you to where you're going
Marinette: Well I wouldn't say no to the company
As they walked back to the hotel the talked about everybody and nothing the conversation just seemed to flow between them. Though Captain made sure to stay between them he was happy that Marinette seemed to found a companion even if it was just for one walk
They said goodbye once they reached the hotel as Marinette went up to his hotel room Damian raced home to hack into her school's itinerary and see if he could somehow meet her again
Jason: What are you doing Demon Spawn
Damian: None of your business Todd
Tim: it looks like he's hacking into some sort of school's schedule
Dick: A French school at that. Are you planning to leave us little bird?
Damian: No and it's still none of your business.
Dick: I know let's hack into into the street cameras and and see if something came up on his patrol
Damian spun around
Damian: YOU SHOULD NOT SO THAT
Jason: Now we have to do it!
Damian: No!
Dick: I'm in! Oh ho who do we have here a little girly stole dear Damian's heart
Tim: Oooo a pretty girl too, and french going by the schedule
Dick: and with a dog definitely an animal lover
Jason: What's her name Demon Spawn?
Damian: Stay out of it you idiots!
Dick: Wait I recognize that school I'm giving them a tour on Wednesday of Wayne Enterprise
Damian: So she's going to be at the building this Wednesday?
Jason: Aw Demon Spawn so happy to see his girlfriend
Damian: SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!
Tim: but you want her to be
Dick: you know since she has a dog with her she'll have to walk him, meaning she'll head to the closest park which is just across the street
Jason: And according to this schedule they have a free day tomorrow probably to sleep of the jet lagged
Damian got a look on his face like he was coming up with an evil plan
Bruce who has been in the bat cave with them all this time just shocked his head
That poor girl has no idea what she's accidentally got herself into
The next day Marinette took Captain to the park across the street to give him a nice walk
There she ran into one Mr. Damian Wayne who have been there for an hour now hoping to run into her.
Captain recognize this boys smell from last night and was a bit more calm around him
Damian and Marinette spent hours in the park talking a getting to know each other
It felt like they've know each other all their lives, and not just a couple of hours
Captain even warmed up to him enough to let Damian pet him on the head
For a minute
That's it
Their meet up at the park lead to a coffee date, which lead to an exchanged of numbers
Marinette: Maybe this trip won't be as lonely as I thought
Bonus
Of course Damain's brother were spying on him at the park
Jason: OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW WELL THIS IS GOING!!!
Tim: I know it seems like she really likes him
Dick: Shut up they're going to hear us!
Damain did hear them and when Marinette wasn't looking he glared in their direction with the clear message that they needed to leave
Bonus Bonus
At one point Marinette and Damian were in a mugging situation with 2 guys
Tumblr media
Captain looked down one and Marinette took down the other
At that moment Damian knew he had to marry this girl

In the demon world, arranged marriages are business transactions. But this isn’t that simple. —demon au, arranged marriage au, non-idol au
01 :: 02 :: 03 :: 04 :: 05 :: 06 :: 07 :: epilogue
warning: this chapter does contain nsfw smut so...yeah
5,988 words
Tumblr media
picture credit
He's trapped. Banging against the walls of his mind but stoic in person. He sees you, registers the swollen eyes and the split lip and the bruises…so many bruises. He sees the blood in your hair and the streaks of tears through the dirt on your cheeks. His heart turns to ash in his chest.
But he can't move. He can't pull away as Taemin's hand snakes up his arm and links with his. He can't even frown when Taemin's lips press to the corner of his mouth.
Namjoon should've told you.
2 MONTHS EARLIER
Moni adamantly refuses to like Jin. Lisa adamantly refuses to like Moni. Jeongguk alternates between patting the hellhound's back and scratching behind his ears. Either way, the dog won't leave your side. And neither will Lisa, Jin, or Jeongguk.
"Go home," you insist, "It's late."
Lisa and Jeongguk shake their heads. Jin says, "No."
"Namjoon was pretty clear," Lisa says, eyeing Moni from her spot across the room.
"Two trained personnel with my wife at all times," Jeongguk recites in a deep-voiced impression of your husband.
"Well, I think Moni counts," you argue, looking down at the dog self-indulgently. Jin snorts.
"Is that what he said when you told him?" Lisa raises her eyebrows, "That the vicious hellhound is trustworthy enough to protect his wife?"
"Vicious?" you gasp, scratching Moni's ears so that his head goes floppy and his tongue sticks out, "Is this the face of a vicious dog?" Your voice turns babyish.
"Yes," Jin and Lisa say in unison.
You giggle and give the dog another pat.
Jeongguk slides onto the kitchen counter, miraculously pulling chocolate pocky from his pocket and asking, "What did he say?"
You worry your bottom lip. "There was a lot of silence and then he said ‘okay' and then he hung up." You shrug, considering it for another a moment before adding, "Well he kind of…squeaked the okay."
Jin chuckles, "He's excited."
"Yeah?" you tilt your head at him.
Jin nods, "Oh, yeah."
Just then the elevator doors ding open and in walks Namjoon, arms filled with dog paraphernalia. He's got a giant purple dog bed tucked beneath his arm, a bulging plastic bag in his other hand, and there's a giant bag of HellHound Nutri-Yums and a literal crate of dog toys floating behind him. His face is bright.
Moni barks happily in his direction and his tail starts wagging. All three of you look dumbfounded at the dog who already seems taken with him.
Jin rolls his eyes, "Guess he recognizes the alpha. I'm leaving." He barely waves at Namjoon or you before disappearing. Both Lisa and Jeongguk follow suit (Lisa giving Moni a wide berth and Jeongguk patting his head once), leaving you alone with Namjoon and the dog.
Namjoon drops everything on the floor clumsily, dropping to his knees and holding his hands out to the hellhound. "Moni," he breathes, his eyes shining.
The dog, although wagging his tail excitedly at Namjoon's entrance, stays planted at your side. His head tilts up to look at you, his tongue hanging out in what you would almost call a smile. You raise your eyebrows, "Go," you whisper and the dog bolts toward Namjoon at high speed, knocking them both over.
Moni plants himself atop Namjoon's chest and licks wildly at his face. He pets him all over, laughing loudly to himself.
"Come on," you giggle, after Namjoon's face seems completely slobbered over, "give him some space, Moni." The dog immediately gallops back toward you, wagging his tail happily and sitting like a soldier beside you. You pat his head softly.
Namjoon sits up, grinning, "He really bonded with you, huh?"
You look down at Moni and he looks up at you. You smile and shrug, "I guess so."
Namjoon stands and crosses the room, patting the dog's head. "Awesome," he says, leaning down.
You try to keep a straight face because you know he's going to kiss you. But your nose wrinkles and you pull back when he gets too close.
He stiffens immediately, backing away awkwardly, "Oh, are we not—?"
"Wait, it's not—"
"I just thought…because you kissed me yesterday, but if we're not, I won't—" He's stuttering over his words and there's a fuchsia flush creeping up from beneath his collar.
"Joon, wait," you grab him by the shoulders, "it's not that."
His eyes are wide and embarrassed.
"You just have dog slobber all over your face," you whisper.
Namjoon breaks into a thousand-watt smile and you feel the effects in your chest. He scratches the back of his head self-consciously, "I'll go wash up."
"Me too," you nod, whispering, "then…kissing."
Namjoon chuckles as you scurry past him to your room, moving toward his own. He freezes at your door with a sudden realization, "Did you just call me ‘Joon'?"
Twenty minutes later you've changed into Namjoon's blue shirt and leggings, Moni following behind you at a respectful distance as always. You find Namjoon already on the couch in sweatpants and a large black t-shirt, his head tilted at an angle as he scrolls through his phone with a pensive look on his face.
There are at least five other places to sit, but you pause in front of the couch anyway and ask, "Can I?"
Namjoon locks his phone and tucks it into his pocket before he looks up at you with a playful smirk, "Can you…what?" You grumble your answer, but Namjoon plays deaf. "What was that?"
You roll your eyes, "Can I sit in your lap?"
"Of course," he smiles, warmly, genuinely. He spreads his legs and with not a little apprehension you settle in between them, his arms wrapping around your tummy and squeezing. "Hi there," he whispers so that his lips brush against the shell of your ear.
"Hi," you breathe, your heart racing.
A thrill runs through you when you feel his lips, gentle, on the curve of your neck. He hums softly into your skin, "You're warm."
You lean against him, letting your head fall against his shoulder and inhaling, "You smell nice." Like expensive cologne and smoky magic.
Namjoon cranes his neck and looks down at you, a lust so potent in his gaze that it soaks into your mind. His heavy, full lips hang open and his tongue darts out to lick them. You can read his thoughts in his expression and it makes something stir in your stomach. No, lower than that.
Your mouth opens, too, like a beggar waiting for water. And he's right here, inching towards you, tantalizingly slow, his hands beneath your shirt and his strength enveloping you.
It's like a splash of cold water when Moni jumps onto the couch. You shriek. And then you laugh. And you know Namjoon's disappointed, but he laughs too, scratching behind Moni's ears.
"I already have no game, Moni here isn't helping."
You scoff, "You have plenty of game."
"Oh, yeah?" he says, a tinge of that earlier lustfulness on his words.
You elbow him playfully and snuggle deeper into his embrace, Moni's head settling in your lap. As Namjoon scrolls through options on the TV, you look down at the dog and say: "Actually, he reminds me of you." The dog twists his head in your lap so your fingers scratch behind his ear.
You can feel Namjoon's chest rumble against your back with a throaty chuckle, tossing the remote aside as he picks something. He runs his fingers through your hair absentmindedly. "How so?"
"A cold exterior, soft and warm on the inside," you give an extra scratch beneath the dog's chin, "but also extremely dangerous when provoked." You tilt your head back so it's pressed flushed against his shoulder and you can meet his eyes.
Namjoon is looking at you like no one in the world has ever understood him the way that you do. Maybe he's right. After all, that's how you feel about him. "Accurate," he whispers, leaning down and pressing his lips softly to yours.
In the months that follow, everything goes so well you almost forget about Taemin.
Namjoon has started lagging in the morning just so he can see you before he leaves. His little notes have gone rampant across the apartment (in your bedroom, bathroom, the kitchen, the living room)(your favorites are the ones he puts atop books he's pulled from his study to recommend to you; this made me think of you or you'll love this or i expect a book report on this one ;P).
You spend your days at home (reading and watch TV with Lisa or playing video games with Jeongguk) or at the animal shelter. You feel better after Hobi's self-defense class and insist on going once a week (mostly because you just really like him, but also to keep yourself sharp). Sometimes you'll go shopping (usually with Jin) or take Moni to the dog park (you think he likes intimidating the other dogs), and you've even begun visiting Namjoon at work.
Moni is so well trained that you don't need a leash, he just trots beside you into the massive air-conditioned skyscraper Namjoon calls his "office." The security guys all know you and only the newest of them watch Moni with their hand on their taser. He glares back at them and it makes you laugh.
Your favorite part of your trips to the office are the moments before Namjoon sees you. It hadn't taken you very long after getting married to realize that he acts differently with you than with others. And you like that he feels safe with you, comfortable enough to be vulnerable. But you love seeing him in his natural environment: powerful and commanding, cold and hard.
The elevator doors slide open and you step out with Moni, spotting Joon through the glass walls of his office. His chin is jutting out seriously and he's saying something to a group of people on the other side of his desk. They nod and jot down notes, tense and slightly afraid (you'd guess).
"Good morning." Jimin's voice is flat and has all the traces of his standard bitchiness, but you know he's grown to like you. He just doesn't want to admit it. You can see it in the little glimmer in his normally matte black eyes and the tilt of his lips in an amused smirk.
Taehyung bounces up behind him and hugs you before he can stop himself (Moni allows it with a growl that sounds like an aggravated sigh).
You eye the office and say, "Did I come at a bad time?"
Jimin shrugs, "I doubt it would matter."
You almost laugh. You have to admit that you sort of love this detached, bitchy persona he's crafted for himself. You want to get drinks with him and gossip.
The workers file out of Namjoon's office, discussing the meeting in hushed tones. Namjoon turns away from the doors to a person crouched in a chair (Yoongi, you think, from the shock of platinum blonde on his head).
"I don't buy it," Yoongi says, seeing you from behind Namjoon before directing his gaze back to the taller man.
"What's there to buy?" Namjoon says, rolling his shoulders, "He hasn't blooded any humans. And his…minions have stopped wreaking havoc."
"There's got to be another plan," Yoongi grumbles.
"Then find out what it is."
Yoongi sighs and stands, bowing his head respectfully and in agreement. Before shimmering out, he throws casually over his shoulder, "Your wife's here."
Namjoon tells Jimin to push back all of his meetings (even the one's Jimin says "But—" and "Uh, it's kind of import—" about and even after you tell him you won't stay long). Namjoon guides you into his office and scratches at Moni's ears, sitting on the same side of the desk as you (resisting the urge to pull you into his lap) (or fuck you across the desk, if he's being honest). Taehyung brings coffee with cinnamon and little cookies, and you talk about the animal shelter and Lisa and Jeongguk and he talks about Yoongi and his coworkers and what you should eat for dinner.
You end up being there for forty-five minutes and even then you don't want to leave. It doesn't even surprise you anymore how much you just…want to be around him. You hesitate at the door like a girl with her lover on the phone: "No you hang up first."
Jimin is tsk-ing in your general direction, leaning against his desk across the room. Taehyung is sitting behind him at the computer, glancing around it to see what Jimin's looking at.
"What?" Taehyung says, "They're happy."
Jimin rolls his eyes and says, "Namjoon is…cold and serious and blunt. He's a brilliant businessman. The most respected and possibly the most powerful demon of our lifetimes. He's terrifying." He says it with a little bit of awe, the most emotion Taehyung's ever heard in his voice; Jimin wonders if his little seven-year-old crush is obvious. He sighs, "But for her…he's soft at the edges."
"What's wrong with that?" Taehyung says, only half-listening (he's trying to balance a pen beneath his nose by puckering his lips out).
Jimin shrugs, "It's just dangerous."
The pen drops. "He's dangerous."
Jimin rolls his eyes, "That doesn't mean he's invincible."
You glance down at your watch and curse, "Yeri will kill me if I'm late again."
Namjoon can't help himself; he tucks your hair behind your ear and drags his finger down your jaw, "I do prefer you alive."
"In that case," you smirk, "I better go." You press your lips to his chastely and pat Moni's back, "C'mon, boy." Namjoon watches until the elevator doors slide shut on you both and he sighs.
When he turns back to Jimin his demeanor is stony. Jimin is almost startled at how swiftly his attitude changes without you there to mellow him out. Jimin would be lying if he said he didn't want to be the one Namjoon went soft for.
Yoongi doesn't come back to the office until late. It's after 2 AM and he knows Namjoon won't be there; he's kind of glad, Namjoon has been irritating him lately. He rolls his shoulders and knows this, like everything, will pass.
He scribbles a note on top of the manila envelope he's come with (Told you so. I'll be in late. -MYG) and leaves it on his keyboard. Namjoon will find it in the morning.
Namjoon does find it in the morning, stumbling into his office nearly an hour late, tie askew and hair a mess; he hadn't been able to keep his hands off you. There's a cold shot of espresso and a plate of cinnamon cookies on his desk; Jimin purposefully left them there to get cool so he could replace them when Namjoon came in.
Namjoon rolls his eyes at the note Yoongi's left for him. Jimin replaces the tray of cold espresso and cookies with a fresh one, pausing in the doorway when Namjoon asks, "Did Yoongi say where he was going?"
"Going?" Jimin's eyebrows raise.
Namjoon holds up the pale manila envelope with the note scrawled on the front: Notes inside. Haven't been feeling well, taking off for a few days. -Yoongi
Jimin shrugs, "I didn't even know he was leaving." The door clicks shut behind him.
Namjoon straightens his tie and focuses on the prickly feeling in his chest, a sure sign of danger or something being off. He glances at his reflection in the mirror to fix his hair and finds a lipstick stain on his earlobe; a fluttery feeling replaces the prickly one.
As he rubs the stain with his thumb and forefinger, his mind is dizzy with possibility. It's been almost 9 months now…slowly you've begun to trust one another and you're finally comfortable with him (physically and emotionally). Which is good because lately he dreams of nothing but you naked in his bed, the things he wants to do to you, and the way you'll say his name when he does.
He has to cut himself off because he's half-hard just thinking about it.
Namjoon slices open the envelope and thumbs through the pages, sucking in a harsh breath. He's nearly still as stone by the time he gets to the end of Yoongi's analysis. Now, having sex with you is the farthest thing from his mind; he doesn't waste any time.
That's how he ends up standing in the animal shelter parking lot, his face scrunched up against the sun. Despite everything, his chest clenches at the sight of you: slightly dirty but glowing. He beams when you reach up to peck at the side of his mouth without a moment's hesitancy.
"What's the matter?" you say, absentmindedly pushing his hair away from his face.
Namjoon spots Jeongguk and Lisa behind you, lingering at the animal shelter entrance with concerned looks on their faces. He cranes his neck so that his face is close to yours, "I think we have to go away for a bit."
You tilt your head to the side, "Away?"
Namjoon chews on the inside of his cheek, "There have been some threats."
"Taemin?" you whisper. You're outside, the sun blaring on you, the wind stirring up dust…but being this close to him is like being in your own world.
He nods and takes a deep, steadying breath; you akin it to him rooting himself like a tree. He runs his fingers through your hair, planting his hand on the back of your scalp and nudging you gently towards him. He presses his lips to your forehead and whispers, " I don't want to put your protection in anyone's hands but my own."
You pull away and smile at him, his hand moving to rub soothing circles into the back of your neck. You lean forward and peck his lips, "Okay. Vacation," you smile, "Where are we headed?"
"Well, I was thinking, since you and I are now...more officially…" you watch him as he struggles through, he's so rarely nervous that you bask in his stuttering, "it could be like our...honeymoon."
Your face lights up and Namjoon feels the familiar tug in his chest. "I would," your eyes are almost watery at the idea, "I would love that."
"What do you want?" he runs his fingers delicately across your cheek, smiling, "I'll make it happen."
You close your eyes because his touch feels like heaven. You hum in thought, a smile spreading across your lips, "A beach house," you whisper and open your eyes, "And a private beach."
"Done," he says.
"And," you say, pressing your hand against his chest, reveling in the feel of him beneath your fingers, "Just us two. If you can."
He can. And he did. And it's so much more than you were expecting.
You've been married just shy of a year and still, you underestimate him.
Moni gallops ahead of you. You can see him run straight through the open double doors at the front of the house, through the house itself, out the double back doors, and straight to the waves lapping at the sand. He jumps around playfully and bites at the foam, craning his neck to watch as you pause in the entryway.
You keep your hand on the doorframe to steady yourself, breathing in the salty air and the peace. Namjoon's arms wrap around your waist and squeeze, his body curving around yours. He digs his chin playfully into your shoulder, dragging his lips across your neck and nipping at your earlobe.
Namjoon is intoxicated by the privacy. Even as a child he'd always had his family's servants or bodyguards around him, and as his power and status grew those extra people in his life also grew more necessary.
But now, alone in a remote part of this island, in a private beach house… Everything in him stills and grows quiet.
He rubs his nose into your hair, inhaling your scent and humming happily to himself.
You find his hands at your stomach and squeeze them before turning in his grasp. You wrap your arms around his neck and let your fingers go crazy with the ends of his hair. If you'd been unable to keep your hands off each other at the apartment, your own private beach house only upped the ante. You've grown so confident, in the last few months, of your body and of him.
When your mother had lectured you about "pleasing your husband" before your wedding…she'd made it seem so mechanical and detached. Like a job.
But when Namjoon touches you that couldn't be further from reality. It's wild and messy and intoxicating. It's a craving. And it surprised you because you'd never thought that physical intimacy could feel that way, so hot and necessary and like being complete.
And now you're tired of waiting. You've given him every other part of yourself and you want him to have this piece, too.
"What should we do first?" he asks, body still curved around you to keep his lips on your neck and shoulders.
"Hmm," you draw a heart on the back of his neck, "I want to check out the bedroom."
"Thank god."
From the moment he picks you up in that entryway, Namjoon is in charge. His fingers press into your flesh like he knows just where your buttons are, just what to do to elicit the lewdest reaction. His hands draw patterns down your spine and give you goosebumps, his fingers make trails up your abdomen to make you shiver, his thumbs flick and squeeze your nipples to make you bite your lip, he palms at your sex to make you moan.
But you can tell he's holding back. There's a darkness in his gaze where you can see all his fantasies, everything he's been dreaming of and lusting after but that he can't get himself to do right away. Instead, he keeps his hand in your panties and whispers them to you, these little daydreams.
"With your pretty little mouth around my cock…"
"—pounding into you from behind until—."
"—my tongue on your clit until you cum on my face…"
"We're going to fuck all over this beach house, kitten…against the wall, in the shower, on the kitchen table, on the beach…"
Until he's so worked up that he's humping into your leg for friction and you're falling apart on his fingers, your eyes closed and your body taut with arousal.
Namjoon presses his forehead against yours, heaving breaths as he tries to keep his own arousal under control. It's been so long since he had sex that, although he's not sure he would admit to it, he almost came just watching you now.
"How was that, kitten?"
You moan softly as he removes his fingers from your panties, dragging them up your bare stomach so there's a line of your juices leading up to your breasts. He pinches one of your nipples between his fingers, moaning himself at the little whimper it elicits.
"I," you gasp for breath, "I like ‘kitten,' it's cute," you grin.
Namjoon laughs, kissing your cheek softly, "So not what I was referring to." He pushes off the bed, leaning forward to slide off your ruined underwear.
You're still high from your orgasm (more intense than any of the ones you'd ever given yourself) and breathing heavily; it doesn't even feel cold to be entirely naked on the bed, but you whine at his absence.
He chuckles at you, pushing off his pants and tugging off his shirt.
You stare for a long moment. You'd seen porn of course, so it's not like you've never seen a dick before. But it's different in person, staring one down for the first time. You lick your lips, dirty, previously unfathomable thoughts filling your mind.
Namjoon slips on a condom and kneels on the bed, readjusting your position as he settles between your legs. He hovers over you, bracing himself on his elbows before holding his cock at your entrance. He takes a deep breath, he really doesn't want to come as soon as he pushes inside.
"Okay," he whispers, kissing you softly, "This is probably going to be uncomfortable. And it's possible that you won't cum from penetration, most people don't on their first time, okay?"
"Okay," you nod, suddenly feeling sheepish.
He kisses you again, slowly, savoring your taste on his tongue. You smile and he says, "Ready?"
The discomfort isn't like you imagined and it makes you freeze. It makes Namjoon freeze too, his brow furrowing in concern and concentration. You grip his biceps until your nails draw blood from his skin (a bit of a turn-on for him actually), and you suck in a shaky breath.
"Move, move, move," you chant.
Namjoon shifts back and forward again, tense as he sees your jaw clench. He pushes a strand of hair from your face, "We can stop. Should I stop?"
You shake your head, "Just keep going."
Namjoon keeps a steady, torturous pace, but slowly the discomfort recedes. He can tell because your body relaxes, your arms looping around his neck and your back arching. "Okay," you whisper and he knows he can let loose now.
His hips snap back and forth so fast and with such a steady pace that you realize just how horny he's been the last few months. Despite everything, a rush of gratitude hits your chest because he's waited so long. You start meeting his thrusts with your hips, clinging to him tightly until he unravels above you.
"Oh fuck, kitten," he moans, thrusting weakly until he's completely spent. He kisses your neck softly, both of you breathing heavily as he pulls out. He rolls to the side and disposes of the condom.
When he comes back he wraps you in his arms and burrows with you under the covers. He nuzzles into your neck and says sleepily, "That was good."
You sigh, finding his lips and kissing him softly and repeatedly. "I really like being called kitten," you giggle.
You wake up at twilight, the world is baby blue and the sky is cotton-candy pink. Everything seems clear and easy. Your whole body feels soft and pliant; you're warm, wrapped in Namjoon's embrace. He's curled himself around you in his sleep, breathing softly and snoring into your neck.
You run your fingers through his hair and relish the feeling of belonging so wholly to another person. When you close your eyes you can see him standing at the alter a year ago, tall and dark and handsome. Now that you know him, you can see the nervousness at the edges of the picture, the way his fingers twitched, the way his eyes moved over you.
You'd been so scared then, so hopeless. You press a kiss between his eyebrows because there's a worry line there and because you're grateful. Because of all the endings you could've imagined for yourself, this had never occurred to you. Genuine happiness…the possibility had never entered your mind.
He groans into your neck, "Go back to sleep."
"I'm going to make breakfast," you laugh.
"No," he insists, tightening his hold around you, "I'll conjure some. Don't get up. Do not put on any clothes."
You kiss him and it's all bad breath and pure laughter.
You spend the next three days hanging off each other.
"Making up for lost time," Namjoon says, pinning you against the wall with your arms above your head.
You're lucky if you get underwear and a shirt on, but you mostly spend the time wrapped in the bedsheets or in nothing at all. You think you end up showering only because it doesn't require any clothes. When you glance in the mirror one morning you find yourself covered in bruises and hickeys and scratches; he's a demon and he makes love like one. You're surprised to find yourself proud of the marks, proud to have such a physical (and abundant) sign of his love for you. You're equally proud when you find that you have similarly marked him.
It's day number four when you finally decide you want to see the beach.
"But—" Namjoon pouts, watching as you pull on a swimsuit and a sheer cover-up.
"It's been three days and we haven't left the house," you say, holding his face in your hands.
"But we can stay here as long as we want…you can see the beach later," he whines, his fingers already hooked into the edge of your bikini bottoms.
You stand up straight and run your hands through his hair, laughing, "How did you keep this horny teenager locked up inside for a year, hmm?"
Namjoon laughs, too, leaning down to plant hot kisses on your neck, "Meditation and masturbation."
You laugh and reach up to bite at his neck playfully, "Meet me outside, kiddo."
Namjoon is about twenty feet behind you, watching as you twirl in the sand toward the waves. He's wondering again why you're both outside, why you have on clothes, why you both bothered leaving the bedroom at all.
Sex on the beach.
You turn to him as if you could read his thoughts, smiling happily; out of breath and flushed but so, so happy.
You don't see Taemin appear behind you in a cloud of menacing, dark smoke. You don't see the knife in his hand. You don't see Namjoon's blood turn to ice or his heart stop in his chest. All you see is his expression turn terrified and then there's a hand on your throat and something sharp poking you.
"Miss me?" a voice whispers. And the beach is long gone.
You're not sure where you are. It's dark, moonlight streaming in from the glass ceiling. And it smells damp, humid.
You feel exposed. You're still wearing the two-piece that you'd had on at the beach; your sheer cover-up is barely hanging on, someone ripped it between the beach and this chair. You feel splinters pricking at your bare thighs and your shoulders ache from your arms being kept behind your back. And your head is ringing, probably from hit number two or three.
Someone says your name beside you, a half-hearted whisper.
"Yoongi?" you gasp. He's bloody and bruised. One eye is swollen shut and purple, there are cuts on his cheeks and his lips are bleeding. If his face is any indication, then the rest of him is in terrible shape. "But you…you're taking time off."
Your head is still ringing; you have all the puzzle pieces but you can't seem to make them fit together.
Someone laughs loudly in front of you, loudly and theatrically. A tall, slim figure steps into the light, his hands clasped in front of his chest.
"Come on," Taemin says, stepping forward and holding your jaw in one hand, squishing your cheeks together like a grandmother to a child, "you can figure it out."
"It's a trap," Yoongi rasps and when you look over there's blood dripping from his mouth.
You look back to Taemin. His eyes are black obsidian and shining. He mouths it's a trap before releasing you and kicking Yoongi's chair so that it falls to the floor. Yoongi groans in pain, the sound echoing through the room.
"Namjoon," you whisper, begging him not to come for you.
Namjoon tries to follow the smoke trail of Taemin's shimmers but he's too erratic and Namjoon can't latch on.
He ends up on Yoongi's front porch with Moni.
The dog settles onto the porch with a whine, hiding his face with his paws. He can't find your scent and it's rattled him. Namjoon pounds on the door of the house with a fist.
He remembers when Yoongi first got this house; it was on the first anniversary of his job with Namjoon and he'd been so proud of it. He'd grown up in a two-bedroom apartment in Daegu; this was a big step up.
Namjoon nearly loses his breath when he sees Jeongguk's expression as he opens the door. The young man's eyes are wide like a child's and filled with tears. He does the first thing his gut tells him to and pulls Jeongguk in for a hug, "What's wrong?"
"Yoongi hasn't been home in a week," Jeongguk hiccups. "He vanished."
"What."
Namjoon is pacing in Jeongguk and Yoongi's living room; he's so stressed that his eyes go full black without him trying and Moni keeps barking at him in intervals. Magic and demonic energy are pouring out of him effortlessly; things keep smashing or falling on the ground. Jeongguk sits on the couch in an oversized sweatshirt looking small and quiet and afraid.
"They've been kidnapped?" he whispers.
Namjoon nods, "But where would he take them?" His footfalls on the wood floors are heavy and purposeful.
Jeongguk bites his fingernails and sinks further into the couch.
Namjoon pauses, wrenching his hands through his hair. "It's about me," he whispers, "I'm the target." His foot is tapping against the floor anxiously; a mirror shatters to his left, making Jeongguk jump. He ignores it and keeps going, "Me," he growls and the vase of flowers Yoongi bought Jeongguk last week (wilting and brown) tilts and falls to the floor with a smash. He glances over at the mess and the realization hits him like a full-speed train. "Fuck," he mutters. He leans forward and pulls Jeongguk to a stand, a marker materializing in his hand; he pushes up Jeongguk's sleeve and writes messily on his forearm, "This is where I'm going; get the others and meet me there." Then he's gone.
You don't realize you're crying until after they pick you up and put you back in the chair. Everything hurts, but mostly your arm (you think it's broken) and your chest. You taste blood on your teeth and then salty tears; a shuddering gasp as they bind your hands behind your back.
"He's coming," Taemin smirks, pulling his Gucci scarf from around his neck and dabbing at his bloody knuckles.
You glance over and watch as they bring Yoongi back to his chair. He looks like a limp rag doll, one that's been stepped on, repeatedly.
The sun has started to come up so things are easier to see. You're in, you realize belatedly, a greenhouse. It's a tall slanted structure made entirely of windows; lying on your back while they kicked you...you had watched the stars.
Taemin turns when he hears the door open and Namjoon appears just as the sun breaks over the horizon. It's a stunning picture; he's still in his vacation clothes, jeans and a loose shirt, the sunlight making him glow bronze.
He wastes no time. He strides over to Taemin and takes him by the throat, raising him above his head and growling.
"You came," Taemin whispers happily. None of his minions, the ones in a circle around the four of you, interfere. "But this is a bit too kinky while we have guests," he chuckles.
Namjoon's growl grows louder but his arm slowly lowers until Taemin is back on his feet. "Thank you," he grins, turning to stand by Namjoon's side and looping their arms together. Namjoon stands stock still, frozen in place, his expression turning from anger to neutrality.
"Namjoon?" you whisper. He shouldn't have come and you see why now; Taemin's controlling him somehow…
"I take it he didn't tell you about our oath." Taemin's voice is like sugar, his fingers tapping happily along Namjoon's forearm. He interlocks their fingers and Namjoon doesn't make a move. Taemin grins, happily but sinisterly, "Don't worry, I'll fill you in."

Sophie: A Stammering Adrien AU Story
Based on this AU.
This is a nonprofit story. The only characters or locations I own are the ones I make up.  All other fictional characters and locations about Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir are the property of Thomas Astruc and Zag. Please support the official release.
Sabrina was beside herself with excitement as she and her father entered the animal shelter. This was the day she got to pick out a pet of her very own. She already knew what she wanted. A dog. A nice, friendly, loyal dog. Sabrina was already picturing taking her future pooch to the park, meeting up with her friends, playing with them and their pets, it was all about to become real. As she was lost in her visions of her new dog, her father gave her a quick ride back to reality.
“You okay there, honey?” he asked.
Sabrina blushed. “Oh, yeah. Sorry, daddy. My mind was elsewhere.”
“Well, what are you waiting for, pumpkin? Take your pick.”
Sabrina walked down the hall of the shelter with her father. There were many dogs to choose from. There was a Dalmatian, a Rottweiler, a Bloodhound, and more. All of these dogs were wonderful, but Sabrina just couldn't decide. That's when she saw it. In a cage at the end of the hall was a white female Poodle staring back at her. Sabrina looked the dog over. She was dirty and seemed very sad. That's when Sabrina read the information card on the cage. It read how her owner died in a car crash. The name on the card was Sophie.
"Oh, Sophie. You poor thing," said Sabrina, kneeling down. "All alone in this world."
Sophie whined and put her paw against the cage door. Sabrina smiled at the gesture, and started thinking. She thought about how happy this dog must have been before she lost her owner, how sad she must be now to be in the pound all alone. Sabrina's mind was made up. She would adopt Sophie. That's when she was approached by a clerk.
"Need any help, mademoiselle?" he asked.
"Oh, yes. I'm interested in adopting Sophie," said Sabrina. "Is there anything I should know about her?"
The clerk looked at a clipboard. "Oh, nothing to out of the ordinary. She's perfectly healthy and ready to go. All she needs is a haircut."
"Well, what do you think, sweetie?" Roger asked Sabrina.
Sabrina looked at the poor, homeless hound. Her eyes met with Sophie's, and when the poor pooch wagged her tail, Sabrina was convinced.
"We'll take her."
Chloé, Marc, Aurore, Mireille and Nathaniel were all sitting in Chloé’s room with Chloé’s dog, Rex, waiting to see a surprise Sabrina had mentioned to them. That's when Sabrina walked in with a leash in her hands and a poodle with a “modified continental” poodle cut.
"Surprise!" Sabrina said. "Guys, meet the Raincomprix family pet, Sophie."
There was a collective squeal as the group rushed over to greet Sabrina’s new dog.
“Sabrina,she’s adorable!” Chloé said, petting the poodle on the head.
Marc hugged the poodle. “Such a sweetie! Yes you are! Yes you are!”
“Oooh, you are so precious!” Aurore told Sophie before turning to Sabrina. “Sabrina, she’s wonderful.
Sabrina smiled, but it quickly faded. Her new dog was a hit with her friends, but there was still one thing to deal with. Rex. Rex was a well behaved dog most of the time, but he had trouble warming up to strangers, especially other dogs. All Sabrina could do was let Sophie off her leash and let the two dogs get acquainted. The two canines began sniffing each other as the children watched with anxious anticipation. However, their anxiety melted away along with their hearts as they watched the dogs relax and begin to play
"Aw, they like each other," said Marc.
"That's a relief," said Chloé. "Rex usually has a hard time warming up to strange dogs. There must be something special about Sophie."
Sabrina smiled. "I think so too."
The young Parisians gathered around the two dogs as Sabrina kneeled next to her new four-legged friend and showered her with love. She was so happy to have Sophie as her dog.

Omegaverse Fantasy/Steampunk-ish AU: Kazuichi, Hajime, Mikan, Chiaki, Nekomaru, Imposter, Sonia, Fuyuhiko, Mahiru, and Teruteru are all working/travelling on a newly built flying passenger ship as part of the ship’s maiden voyage over a mostly uncharted continent to get to a major city on the other side because Sonia, Imposter, and Fuyuhiko are working as diplomats and Mahiru is a reporter recording everything for her readers (despite being the designer of the ship, Kazuichi is just /suffering/ here and spending most of the journey below deck, whimpering in misery whenever the ship hits turbulence).
While the ship is going through a patch of storm, it suddenly gets hit with a massive surge of lightning and crashes into the forest below, miraculously leaving all the crew unharmed (albeit scattered into groups of 1 or 2 around the landing site and all unconscious) and the ship fully functional with the exception of all the fuel (magical crystals that conducted electricity through them to operate the ship) being either spent or rendered non-functional.
They all wake up in a big old temple, all tied to each other in a circle, with Hajime, Kazuichi, and Fuyuhiko in the front, facing the back of the hall. At the front of the room, a group of young people in old-fashioned clothes are arguing with an elder in slightly more modern clothes in a language that no one understands, not even Sonia, but they can all tell that the argument is referring to them and the elder does not look very happy.
The group of young people are Nagito, Gundham, Ibuki, Hiyoko, Peko, Kyoko, and Akane, who were heading into the temple near the forest to do a “find your true love” ceremony when they heard a huge crash just a few minutes away from them. They all ran to check and found the ship crashed into a clearing with everyone on board unconscious and either still in the ship or scattered around. The group brought them to the temple to ask the elder, Jin, what they should do about them, since the last time newcomers came was when a young Jin and his baby daughter Kyoko ended up lost in the jungle on an expedition.
Everyone but Akane and Hiyoko has already fallen in love with one of the castaways (Ibuki fell in love with both Chiaki and Mikan) and they think that this is a sign that they should keep them as gifts from the gods. Jin is much more cautious since these people just crash landed and they could be confused and violent and he’s really grown to get attached to these kids (they’re all functional exiles from the main tribes either because of magical abilities (Gundham and Ibuki), odd appearances that suggest malicious witchcraft (Hiyoko and Peko), issues with their family debts (Akane and her many sibilings), perceived cursed nature (Nagito) or not being from any of the tribes in the area (the Kirigiris)) and doesn’t want them hurt.
Kyoko notices that the group is all awake and let’s the arguers know, which stops the argument for the time being. Jin tells the crash group everything that they need to know (the crash and discovery, why they’re all tied up, where they are (a forest near the coast of the uncharted continent), etc.). When Kazuichi asks about how their ship is, since they need to fix it to continue their journey or at least to get to civilization, Jin decides to have them all taken to the crash site, with the natives keeping an eye on them (everyone with a crush is mostly using it as an excuse to stay near their crushes) so Kazuichi could inspect it himself.
Kazuichi declares the ship pretty much functional but almost completely useless except for shelter and the remaining food and medicine because all of the fuel is just gone, which makes everyone who crashed upset.
Jin offers to let them all stay at their mini-village for the time being, since they can’t get back to their regular lives right away. After some deliberation, they all accept but not before removing all their stuff from the ship because Kazuichi’s not super sure that it won’t explode or start leaking noxious fumes from the destroyed fuel crystals.
The castaways end up spending about 13 months in the village, learning about everyone in the exiled youth village and their larger civilization (It started from a travelling group that split off from the standard civilization about 800 years before. Their culture has so much nuance and brilliant architecture and art, it’s amazing) and teaching the village about their civilization and technology in return, once Jin manages to teach them enough of the native language to not have to communicate solely through hand gestures and facial expressions.
Along the way, people end up falling in love and become mates, the first being Kazuichi and Gundham, once Kazuichi managed to find out that Gundham was trying to awkwardly court him (which he didn’t realize due to obliviousness and cutural differences), who had a lovely mating ceremony where everyone attended, Nekomaru and Fuyuhiko cried (Fuyu cried a little, Nekomaru cried a lot) during it, and Akane and her siblings had to be bribed in the reception feast by Teruteru to not interrupt the ceremony with commentary.
Meanwhile, everyone who knew the castaways is absolutely freaking the hell out (a princess and some of the most brilliant minds of a generation were all on that ship) and searching for them like mad, with Izuru leading the head search party, which included some of the friends and family if the castaways to at least get some closure if nothing else. Their efforts were mostly fruitless until they finally find the crashed ship with Kazuichi and Gundham inside because Kaz still wants to keep the best invention of his life in tip top shape. After some very enthusiastic reunions when Kazuichi and Gundham take the search party back to the village and most of the castaways meet their friends and families for the first time in months, Izuru investigates just how the ship crashed, since Kazuichi couldn’t find anything even after 13 months and those fuel crystals were supposed to outlast the ship itself. Izuru uses some of his magic to trace back whether the malfunction was magical in nature (Kazuichi can’t use magic, so he wouldn’t know if it had something to do with magic and Gundham doesn’t trust technology) and immediately gets hit with a force of malice and most importantly Despair and recognizes it as Junko Enoshima. Junko, a manipulative sorceress, wanted to drive the world into despair by killing off some of the greatest minds of the generation and maybe start a few wars while she’s at it by blaming rival countries for shooting down the crown princess and a few other diplomats from two wealthy kingdoms. But the spell didn’t wreck the ship or kill anyone, just wrecked their fuel and left them stranded.
After making a solemn vow to get rid of Junko when they get back to civilization for trying to kill his brother, Izuru gets a bunch of spare fuel crystals from the search party’s supply and helps Kazuichi reinstall them into the engine, bringing the ship back to fully operational, which is great because the search party has been in this jungle for around a year at this point and they are really getting homesick.
Everyone, including the villagers, who all decide to come along, all pack up their things and arrive to the ship’s original destination much to the surprise of everyone who thought they were dead and they pretty much became famous for discovering an entire civilization, with Mahiru’s pictures and Jin’s story giving an excellent look into the culture and lifestyles of the people living there. And yes, the villagers all experience life in the ‘modern’ day, with some definite and absolutely hilarious culture shocks that are mediated through having a bunch of friends who can navigate through it, even after being missing for over a year. And yes, Izuru did get rid of Junko.
(A/N: I should really be studying but forget it, I needed to write this before I forget about it. Please leave some feedback!)
(Mod: I hope your studying is going well ♥
Omegaverse, steampunk and fantasy in one, I have to be in heaven because these are my three top favourite AUs/tropes of all time ♥
I feel so sorry for Kazuichi. He build that airship and has to probably sometimes check if everything is working as intended but the poor guy would feel so sick on a constant basis and simply be in hell instead of enjoying the marvel of his groundbreaking invention
The terror everyone felt when the ship suddenly got struck by lightning and causing them to fall out of the sky and to crash into the middle of nowhere must have been pure horror for them all. When they then also wake up alive, but realise they are tied up in a temple and surrounded by some people in strange clothing things couldn’t get any worse. They survived a crash landing to presumably be tortured to death in some temple by some ancient tribe. Since no one can speak their language it’s also impossible to reason with them. But most of them couldn’t deny that they at least looked good, but doesn’t make the possibility of death much better. Luckily Jin can actually speak Japanese and so everything is quickly solved
The “modern” group probably had a lot of fun in the middle of a gigantic forest because of all the wildlife and dangerous nature around them ^^” All of them grew up in towns and cities and at the max only saw a small forest which is nothing against this. They probably had to have one of the natives always accompany them before any of them got lost or ends up seriously harming themselves. Also I could imagine that Kaz would for his life never understand how Gundham could look at a deadly animal that happens to cross their path and decide that this is his newest pet. Btw nothing better than Kaz being an oblivious idiot in love
Also I love the backstory that you came up with for the tribe members, giving everyone a different yet believable reason as for why they are in their current mismatched tribe
I can just imagine how Izuru is in the meanwhile taking every part of the continent apart together with the royal family and the other big name families, while their missing relatives are happily courting and mating some native tribe members in the middle of nowhere. Izuru would also stomp everyone who even dares to suggest that his twin is probably dead into the ground without mercy because there is no way that Hajime died. I could also imagine that his stoic face completely broke when he actually found Hajime safe and sound after searching for him for over a year. Like just imagine how sweet it would be that Izuru actually is brought to tears from relieve to finally seeing his twin again and just hugging him
At least until he notices that Hajime’s scent changed and that he has a mating mark on the back of his neck, because then he would glare at Nagito who’s scent matches the one sticking to his twins whole body. Luckily Hajime would quickly calm his twin that everything is consensual and that he and Nagito are willingly mated because they love each other)

Who else is a Faunus in your Team MNAC au? Is Sabrina one? What about Alix?
Sorry for taking so long to answer this!
This is one of those questions I can’t really give a final answer on yet because things are still kind of up in the air. That being said, I’ll ramble on about my thoughts below this, they’re just liable to change later (maybe by a Lot).
So! We know that everyone on Team MNAC is a Faunus:
Marinette is a ladybug Faunus with antennae. Her mother is a ladybug Faunus and her father is human. Her parents were very strategic when deciding where to live, and as a consequence they live in a very Faunus-friendly town.
Nino is a turtle Faunus with scaly patches of skin across his upper arms, shoulders, and back. He can pass for human most of the time. I don’t think I’ve established what the rest of his family is, so let’s say his mother and sister are also turtle Faunus. His father is also a Faunus but I’m not sure what kind yet. His mother can pass for human like Nino, which is something of a bitter relief because she’s a chef and there are a Very Particular set of bigoted beliefs about Faunus and food preparation involving “cleanliness”. Having to hide who she is so she doesn’t lose business is a big weight on her shoulders. Nino’s sister isn’t able to pass; the green patches she inherited from their mother are in much more visible spots (her hands, her cheeks, her ears).
Adrien is a black cat Faunus with cat ears. His father is a butterfly Faunus while his mother was a cat Faunus (though with a blonde fur color; he got his fur coloring from his maternal grandmother). Nathalie is a black cat Faunus like him, though she has a cat tail rather than ears. The Gorilla is a gorilla Faunus, bc duh, but I’m not sure what his Faunus trait is. Adrien has been sheltered from humans his whole life.
Alya is a fox Faunus with the ears to show for it. Her mother and younger sisters are fox Faunus like her (though Ella and Etta have fox tails rather than ears), while her father and older sister are spider Faunus. Their family is from menagerie.
As I’ve mentioned before, Chloé is also a Faunus, with bee wings, and part of her character arc and redemption is learning to embrace her heritage rather than hide it to make her life easier.
Sabrina I’m pretty sure isn’t a Faunus, and she’s not super educated on things like Faunus discrimination. She tries her best, and specifically goes out of her way to learn more when she and Chloé are getting back on good terms.
Alix is Super Fucking Tricky because she has SO MANY SNAKE MOTIFS IN HER DESIGN?? But she doesn’t get the snake miraculous >:\\\ so I’m leaning towards not a Faunus but she has a pet snake and some people don’t really like her so rumors get spread around that she’s a snake Faunus
This isn’t helped by the fact that she’s good friends with Luka, who IS a snake Faunus, so now there are these rumors floating around that they’re illegitimate siblings
Alix sends this to Jalil with no context:
Tumblr media
[image description: a very badly edited version of the “friendship ended with Mudasir, now Salman is my best friend” meme. Luka’s face is pasted over the man on the left, and Alix’s is over the man on the right. They are clasping hands. There are two pictures of Jalil with green X’s drawn over them in the bottom corners of the image. The text reads “Siblings ended with Jalil, now Luka is my brother”]
Anyway Luka and Juleka’s father was a snake Faunus and Luka was the only one to inherit Faunus features from him (not sure what—maybe snake eyes (hot) or snake fangs (also hot) or both (very hot)). Idk what happened to their dad—is he dead? stranded at sea? divorced? missing? just has a busy job? gets seasick so he can’t spend much time on the Liberty? IDK!!! But the result is that Luka and Juleka were raised primarily by their mother, and Luka loves her a lot but his mom is human and can’t really Understand some of the stuff that goes on in his life because he’s a Faunus.
Le Chien means “the dog” in french so y’all have no idea how tempted I am to make Kim a dog Faunus but IDK!!!
I know a lot of people like to give Nathaniel the peacock miraculous and so I’m VERY tempted to make him a peacock Faunus with the tail of feathers to match. Why? The mental image of Nathaniel instinctively fanning his feathers out whenever he catches sight of whoever he has a crush on at the moment is VERY CUTE!!
Rose I want to be a Faunus but I’m not sure what kind yet.
Since we’re all pretty sure Kagami is going to get the dragon miraculous, I’m contemplating making her some kind of lizard Faunus or something? But honestly I really don’t want to give Lila anything else to use against Kagami, and I’m like 95% sure that while she’s not fantasy racist, I’m p sure that she’ll use anything to make people she doesn’t like feel bad
Lila’s probably human. I really don’t want to make a character I’m having be kind of a villain part of a minority group. She might try to claim she’s 1/18th Faunus or something tho (lie) like those people who use a small percentage of native descent to claim that they’re allowed to do cultural appropriation
There isn’t a very even ratio of Faunus to humans in rwby canon so I don’t want to go overboard but the fact that all these kids have links to animals is making that kind of hard akdnksndmdn
That’s all I’ve got for now, and sorry if this isn’t super coherent! I’m on a brain fog wave but I wanted to get some of the stuff you’ve sent answered!
Fun fact: that badly edited meme is the first piece of visual media I’ve shared for this au. Idk how to feel about that.
As always, everything for this au can be found under the tag “Team MNAC AU”, and I’m always accepting asks (even if it takes awhile to answer them sometimes).
