Turn Week 2024– Day 3: Encounter with Another Time Period

Apologies for my tardiness to respond to this prompt! Though I’m unsure if the original idea for this prompt was time travel, the first place my mind went to was a classic, good old modern AU, so here’s a shitty collage of lovely cast photos to capture the vibe! ;)

[Once again feat. Townhull vibes in the bottom row because of who I am as a person, complete with brown & blue color schemes because that shit matters to me]

So, for lack of a better response to this entry, I hit you with some silly little modern AU headcanons!

- Ben is an objectively good driver, but he’s always very high-strung and stressed while he’s operating a vehicle. Perhaps he’s just always better suited to riding on horseback.

- Caleb strikes me as the type to order pizza to his house and then try to form a bond with the arbitrary DoorDash/Uber Eats drivers (can’t explain why)

- Abe thoroughly enjoys spamming Rob’s phone with texts even if he has nothing important to say (which I guess you’ve already garnered if you’ve read any of my modern fic lmfao), though he will in theory blow up anyone’s phone

- Mary is always on top of keeping her phone charged because it matters to her that she can always keep track of her family and friends (especially when she knows her friends are prone to do dumb shit when unsupervised)

- Anna is probably pretty successful on social media not because she’s anything akin to an influencer or a model, but because she just gives good advice on how to run a business (& how to deal with idiots, perhaps)

- Robert is probably often the designated driver during a night out, not because he’s entirely abstinent from alcohol, it’s just that he can handle his liquor unlike some (Abe & probably Caleb are both too busy laughing cacophonously & continuously to drive)

- Ben ends up in cycles of a) spending time on a meticulous hair care routine which keeps him looking as amazing as always and b) slapping on like 5-in-one shampoo/conditioner shit in the span of 3 minutes

- Also: Ben & Caleb might be “closet” Taylor Swift enjoyers??? ((If I have to think about that, so do you))

- Rob, similar to the canon time period, also probably refrains from dressing in overly colorful, intricately patterned clothing— he’s not dressed in all-black every hour of the day, but he’s usually in more neutral tones

- Maybe not totally modern-specific, but Mary is unintentionally very good with animals (not to mention kids)??? Idk can’t explain it

- Abraham (fairly) often has to fix basic technical problems that Richard runs into and it’s always a very awkward process because he KNOWS that Richard would DESPISE to admit that he needs help from his son because Abe knows how to work an iPhone better than him. 💀

Also bonus Townhull-specific food for thought:

- Rob & Abe have a petty debate about where everyone should get dinner and out of nowhere Caleb, becusse he had read online that this phrase can ‘end any argument’, goes “I think other forces are at play.” and just. Refuses to elaborate.

This is once again incoherent but I hope you enjoyed it <3

Hi Nat! Freya here. I saw you were doing art requests and wanted to put in my two cents. Could you draw any two characters you want snuggling in a bed. It doesn't have to be an AU but I think a modern AU would fit the concept. Other than that, go wild! Don't worry about straying from the prompt a little, I just wanna see some tooth rotting fluff.

Under the covers :)

Here u freya!!

A New Year's Dare

@ockissweek

Read here.

Full collection here.

East Coast of USA, present day. 

“Is that a dare?” the raven-haired green-eyed vampire Audrey asked. A most pleased feline look on her charming face. 

Ben blushed furiously. 

“No– no,” Ben deflected, a lie, of course. 

“It is New Year's, ma cher,” Audrey purred. Leaning close enough to kiss alcohol and sweet perfume lingering on her. 

Ben paused. Heart pounding in his chest. He feels rather exposed at the moment, but shockingly he doesn’t seem to mind being called on her every whim. 

Closing the distance between them Ben’s mouth harshly met hers. Surprisingly, Audrey didn’t pull back, nor did she exercise restraint. Kissing back just as harshly a hand tangled in his dirty blonde hair. 

When Audrey pulled back they were both breathless. 

“Perhaps we should go somewhere where fewer can see us,” she said gently. 

Ben merely nodded and followed her lead.

TURN!Benjamin Tallmadge x reader

[a/n: aw, this is absolutely adorable! tysm for the request, I hope I did it justice!]

Ben ambled throughout the camp, pacing along the row of tents with his hands clasped behind his back. Every time he heard the flap of a tent open, his blue eyes would bounce to his own tent, hopeful that you would emerge dressed, and yet, it would be another officer going on with their day.

“Oh, for crying out loud—“

His boots meet the dirt in a dramatic manner, storming over to his tent, not quite sure what to be expecting, but it was most certainly not you struggling to lace a corset.

Staring in the entrance, hand pulling the flap back, he’s left stood completely still for a moment, then he clears his throat loudly.

“How long must this take you?”

In return, you yelp, your back to the tent opening. You were never expecting someone to be standing right there.

“Why?! Why did you just do that?”

Your heart clamps over your heart, in an attempt to qualm its fast beating.

“I didn’t mean to startle you, I’m sorry. But, haven’t you ever…?”

Ben notices your hands, and the messy loops, how you’ve been struggling for the past ten minutes trying to figure out the right way to lace the bodice.

“No, why would I? You found me in joggers and t-shirt,”

You deadpan, mirroring Ben’s expression as he sighs, letting the tent close behind him so the two of you are enveloped in complete privacy.

“May I?”

Your cheeks burn red, the tips of your ears as well, but you nod, spinning around once more as the officer approaches, gently undoing all the terrible knots you had made prior.

“You are aware I don’t entirely believe you about your nonsense, right?”

“Please. If this doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what will,”

Ben lifts your hair so it drapes over your right shoulder, out of the way as he begins to lace and weave the ribbon down the bodice.

“Your story is infuriating, but infatuating. I would be lying if I said that I don’t appreciate your story-telling.”

You gasp when he pulls it just too tight, your eyes blinking rapidly as he continues.

“Your stubbornness is infuriating, as well.”

Once he’s satisfied, you spin around, glancing up at the Major as he lets his hands fall to his sides.

“Thank you,”

“Not necessary. Though, you have to do something about that.”

He gestures to your hair, now back over your shoulder as it lays down along your back.

“Can you do it in a cute little braid like yours?”

It was a joke, you had all intentions to put it in a bun atop your head like so many ladies you’d seen around the camp, but Ben sighs, motioning for you to spin around once more.

Your mouth flubs, ready to tell him it was a reflex comment-and yet, the feeling of his calloused palms and soft fingertips running through your hair makes you snap your mouth shut.

“This is a customary hairstyle, I don’t understand why you must make fun of it.”

“It was just a joke, I’ll keep them on the DL from now on.”

Ben makes a face at the ‘DL’ comment, but doesn’t ask what it means.

“May I ask you something?”

“Sure, y/n.”

“If you really don’t believe me, why are you going to all this trouble?”

Ben hums, quickening his motions as the braid begins to descend down your back.

“I’ve determined you are no spy, when you didn’t even know which one was the Lieutenant.”

“I can’t tell all those uniforms apart, who could—“

“Like I said, a portion of me believes you. Maybe you just hit your head too hard and don’t know where you are. Maybe you’re telling the truth.”

“I am, but I’ll do whatever it takes to convince you, Major.”

There’s a bout of silence, and right when you feel him go to tie your hair with a ribbon, you offer him your hair tie over your shoulder.

“I’d like you to use this, if you wouldn’t mind.”

Ben says nothing but it takes him a good minute to figure out how to use it, and tie it securely into your hair.

“Thanks. Maybe it’ll keep me sane for a bit longer.”

“I don’t think you’re crazy, y/n. But I am enamored by your…way of doing things.”

The pink color returns to your ears, and you turn slightly, watching the way Ben takes a hesitant step back, admiring his work.

“Best to get you to the General.”

Your stomach flips, palms sweaty as he goes to exit the tent.

“If you don’t believe me, what makes you think the General will?”

“General Washington? He’s…he’s very good at listening.”

Ben misses the way your jaw falls open, mumbling about how on earth any of this was real, your shoes sinking in the soft dirt as you scramble after him.

Another Time, Another Place https://archiveofourown.org/works/47877859/chapters/120704998

Pairing: Benjamin T./Original Female Character Summary: When Benjamin Tallmadge (literally) crashes into Layla Blake, she soon discovers he’s not some d.runken re-enactor, but a living, breathing relic from years past. In between teaching him how to behave in modern A.merica (toilet paper included), can she ignore her affections and help him return back to his own time?

[honorhearted]

For modern AU Benjamin Tallmadge:

“It really is nice out tonight.”

From ~ Audrey ~ charmantevamp

Ben jerked, not having expected the intrusion. In truth, he'd gone o.utdoors in need of air -- the f.estivities inside were capable of making him feel quite lonely, given the memories they were starting to unlock -- and offering the woman a wan smile, he inclined his head and replied, "I suppose so."

If she meant nice as in the w.eather, then yes; if she meant nice as in the beautiful scenery, skyline and glittering s.tars up above, then also yes; but Ben couldn't find it in himself to agree that the night was pleasant.

"You should go back inside," he said. "I'd hate for you to miss the c.ountdown just because you chose to stay out here with me."
