EA SPOILERS ‼️

DAMIEN AND HUXLEY, MY BELOVEDS, OH HOW I’VE MISSED YOU

In full honesty I’ve never seen a miscommunication trope handled so well, I loved this 🥹

The way you can just imagine Huxley’s smile twitch when Damien says he doesn’t really care for Valentines Day then slowly fall when he kept going on—

I’m not entirely surprised about Damien’s disinterest in the holiday, I kinda had a feeling, I just thought the video was gonna be something along the lines of him simply putting that feeling aside for Huxley the big lover boy and maybe surprise him with some flowers while Hux gets all giddy like school girl who found a secret admirer note in her locker akdjakdsk (woe is my wishful thinking)

That subtle fast walk to the front door I just know Hux was doing while internally preparing himself for what he felt was the embarrassment of going overboard 😭

When Huxley cries, I cry.

Every time a character I love says they’re too much for feeling things so strongly, I am set on yet another hunting spree for the fuckers that made them think that nonsense

I said this on discord and I’ll say it again (ykyk)—

Just think of how excited Huxley must’ve looked setting up all the decorations the night before, probably had music to hype himself up, even sending photos of it all finished to Freelancer or even FaceTiming them to see what they think

Damien comforting Huxley for a change was so sweet, he was definitely holding Huxley’s face to make sure he was looking right at him and knew he meant what he was saying wholeheartedly

“You are a person that is overflowing with love to give, and that is not too much, that is fucking beautiful. And..the world is not a place that’s very kind to beautiful things like that. So..the fact that you are still who you are after all that is not something to apologize for.”

What if that was my limit, Erik—

They 100% still have that bear lmaooo

“You’re the only teddy bear I need” CRYYINNGG

Visualize with me, everyone, a decoration tangled Lasko trying to frantically find somewhere to hide said bear. Beautiful.

Bonus: HUXLEY WITH A JEEP CANON ‼️

[us3rnam3-r3dact3d]

I was scrolling thru my old posts and found the one about the boys coffee orders and… I disagree with my former self. So…

New and Improved Redacted Coffee Orders

David

It started as a red eye, no sugar, no cream. Eventually he graduated to a black eye. There’s a small coffee shop across the street from the den that he frequents. The staff knows him by name and, while most of them were scared of him to begin with, seeing how giant he is, they warmed up to him. He’s very polite to service workers and tips very well. The owner started keeping his favorite brew (a light roast single origin from Coast Rica) well in stock. Most days, when he comes in, the barista decides how many shots he needs based on how tired he looks.

- [ ] Asher

Frappe all day baby. He knows that there isn’t a lot of caffeine in those, but he’s already hyperactive so it balances just fine. He has a taste for chocolate, but always tries the seasonal ones when they come out. While the baristas hate making his order, they love his personality and always make his, as he puts it, with “extra love.” Ash claims he can taste it.

- [ ] Milo

Cappuccino. Sometimes with a pump of flavor, most often as it comes. Milo is an espresso snob. The man is Italian. Whenever they go to a new coffee shop he orders a solo to see how it tastes. He refuses to drink Starbucks espresso. Will be an asshole about how to pronounce coffee terminology.

(As a side note, Darlin’ orders straight espresso shots and takes them like actual shots. Milo is always horrified and tries consistently to get them to sip it but they simply won’t.)

Sam

Caffeine doesn’t work for vampires, but Sam just likes the taste of coffee. He’s a conoceré who loves fruity notes, unwashed processed beans, and dark roasts. His favored form of preparation is a French press, but he recently got a very nice syphon set up that he’s still figuring out. He takes his coffee with cream and a bit of sugar.

Vincent

Iced lavender lattes. Listen… Vincent is fruity. He’s a fruity fruity man. He likes it sweet and he will take it iced no matter the weather. There’s a late night coffee shop he frequents whose baristas think Vincent is an incredibly attractive gay insomniac.

William

William is more familiar with the early Parisian style of cafes than he is with American coffee culture, and he absolutely misses that. William staunchly stands by the idea that Le Procope was the first cafe in Paris, and that he drank coffee with Voltaire. He loves noisettes (espresso with a drop or two of cream) and has one nightly after dinner.

Huxley

Hux doesn’t drink coffee, but he does call the energy drinks he drinks coffee which drives Damien insane. Dames has started passive aggressively bringing Hux cups of black coffee when he asks instead of his Monster flavor of the week.

Damien

Iced coffee, no sugar, no cream. He drinks it iced because no matter how fresh the coffee is, it still feels a bit tepid to him. Drives him crazy, so he sticks with iced. When he’s feeling a little wild, he’ll add some oatmilk.

Lasko

Canonically, he drinks a doppio americano. I like to think it’s because he is too nervous/ conscientious to ask for something more complicated. He drinks it with two sugars and cream, but he doesn’t really enjoy the taste of coffee. Just the utility of it. Freelancer tries to get him into other drinks, and he enjoys the things that they get, but he never has the nerve to get them for himself when it comes time to order.

Gavin

Gavin has absolutely no interest in coffee. Caffeine does nothing for him, and he doesn’t like bitter things. What he does have, however, is a massive sweet tooth. He likes boba, but the fruity bursting type. His and FL’s favorite coffee shop is a small cafe that serves a wonderful selection of boba. He mixes it up often, but his go to a pink lemonade with blueberry popping boba.

Morgan

Morgan is a tea guy for sure. The potency and intrusiveness of seer magic can be worsened by substances, and that includes caffeine. Morgan doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, doesn’t take anything. He drinks herbal tea, sometimes decaf black tea. He likes a decaf London Fog when he’s feeling fancy, but often drinks his tea with just a splash of milk and two sugars.

Guy

Red Bull energy. This man drinks energy drinks like he isn’t blessed by the gods with an unholy amounts of hyperactivity. Since he does have adhd, caffeine often makes him sleepy. He can be found drinking Red Bulls of all flavors at all hours of the day. They’re the only things that manage to get him out of the absolute energy slump he has first thing in the morning, but he has been known to drink them late into the night. He’s also a fan of a vodka Red Bulls.

Aaron

Black coffee. And not good black coffee, either. He likes the instant shit. Coffee so tough he can chew it. He’s had good coffee before. Freshly ground French presses, premium Italian blends, single origins from the heart of the coffee belt. And yet, nothing satisfies him like Folgers instant. Smartass does have a fancy ass espresso machine, but he refuses to use it, and only politely sips the sugar-filled lattes they lovingly make for him.

Elliot

Elliot loves coffee. It’s a byproduct of his trade. Maybe it’s a stereotype to say that all dreamwalkers love coffee, but given that he spends the majority of his day asleep, it helps when he has to be conscious and functional. Elliot loves cold brew, since it’s a really concentrated brew. He makes his own using a very dark roast. He likes it a bit sweet, a bit creamy, but he really loves

[dani-ya-dig]

Relistening to FL season 1 really makes me realize how much it was put on the back burner.

Like I understand that it kind of had to be in order for other storyline to get some progression so I’m not mad about it. But I’m also not gonna sit here and say that I’m not a little disappointed.

Like we never hear back about Damien and FL starting he club to help human borns or how that is going.

Hux graduates entirely and it’s like barely mentioned.

Gavin should have gotten his full certification by now, but again just nothing about that at all.

We haven’t heard from Caelum since after the inversion (I mean I think I kind of know why but it’s still upsetting to me).

And now with Lasko having a listener it’s kind of sad that we aren’t going to get as much content of him with the DAMN crew as we are going to hear from him as a romantic character.

Again, I fully get it that other storylines needed their time to shine and now is kind of the vamps and the wolves time (or at least david and darlin, bc ash and Milo really haven’t gotten that much stand alone content) but I just really miss these characters and I guess this was just me going on a little rant about that.

[pasteloctoz]

Damihux

Christmas ass lookin colors

My favorite couple bc these beautiful specimens need more appreciations.

any trigger warnings will be seperated from the rest and put at the bottom (probably not too many, its just a precaution :])

Hux is pan n transmasc, Damien is queer.

Search up frederic chen on yt (love their content) the way they dress/do make up is how i imagine damien dresses especially after not talking to his mom as much (bc he doesnt feel the pressure of her looming over him anymore.) And ppl like gavin pushing him to try new things.

Hux does the thing that Nick does in Heartstopper. "I'm bi, not gay" but instead he says pan. Bc pan/bi representation is important!!!

Hux is African-American and his other mom is Puerto-Rican (is that how you spell it?) So he grew up with Puerto Rica culture. While Damien is Mexicana. Sometimes they'll use some random slang that they grew up with in their respective houshold and the other will be just- slightly confused as to what it means.

They have a cat named shrimp and huxley calls him their firstborn child. To which damien deems "stupid" or "dumb" while being so flushed hed practically be a working furnace

Hux looks at damien with that loveheart eye look where you just KNOW hes admiring his partner like theyre the only light in the world. When Damien notices he just asks, "....... what?....." while a bit flushed.

Huxley never had the money to get top surgery until after he graduated from Damn. His moms wanted to help pay but he insisted that they didn't have to worry about it.

Once he's gotten top surgery, Damien does nothing but worry and take care of him. They would be attached at the fuckin hip istg-

Hux's favorite game is Dark Souls and everytime Damien tries to play it he gets angry and eventually just ends up leaning on hux and watching him play.

Damien is a big fucking fan of the final fantasy games. But somehow the only time hes gotten Hux to play a game made by the studio is fucking kingdom hearts. (Nothing against kingdom hearts i love kingdom hearts)

Tw: Tabacco/Vape mentions, homophobia mentions, suggestive

If you find any of these triggering feel free to scroll past (it will be in small font like this), meanwhile have a picture of my dog :D

Damien is probably more likely to vape/smoke than hux bc of his anxiety. Hux would honestly be more of a clean lungs advocate (he doesn't judge ppl who use drugs though- its not his buisness).

Usually when ppl are being homophobic to the two, hux calms damien down but one time damien just grabbed hux by the cheeks and gave him a real sloppy kiss. Casually took hux's hand afterward and teasingly whispered "scared them off, didnt we?"

Like- we know hux is always gonna make the first move but you cant tell me there hasnt been atleast once where damien made hux so flushed roses were growing out of his locs.

“listen eating cheetos with chopsticks just make the most sense, that way you don’t get the cheese dust all over your fingers” you try to back up your strange habit while reaching in the bag for more.

“what?! dude the cheese dust getting on your fingers is like the best part!” you shake your head at huxley.

“bro your gonna give someone a yeast infection one day” gavin holds back a laugh at your brutal comment.

“hey man i wash my hands!”

“huxley i had to remind you to brush your teeth this morning” damien cuts in and huxley scratches the back of his head.

“it may have slipped my mind” you shake your head and continue picking through the bag while watching lasko and damien game on the tv.

“hey can i have one?” gavin whispers and you lean the bag towards him. “feed me?” you roll your eyes and pick one up to feed him.

“mmm you love me~”

“yeah i know don’t remind me” you watch as gavin pokes at lasko to break him from his concentration, he yelps and damien takes the chance to win finally.

“gavin!”

“whaaa? just making it interesting”

“lasko come with me to kitchen, i wanna start on those cupcakes now or they’ll never get done” you shove the bag and chopsticks you had into gavin’s chest and he lets out an oof and takes the items. you get up and take lasko’s hand and guide him into the kitchen.

“uh i wanna thank you again for hosting this uh um”

“slumber party”

“y-yeah that, thank you”

“it’s my pleasure i love having you guys over and i’m super excited to have you all sleep over” you flash a smile at him and lasko feels his heart squeeze. “hux and damien will probably sleep together on the pull out couch, you’re welcome to sleep with gavin and i”

lasko can feel his face flush at the offer, you can’t help but smile as you start pulling out the bowls and measuring cups.

“can you grab the eggs?”

“oh y-yeah sure”

“thank you~ go ahead and crack those into a bowl, i’ll start mixing” you instruct as you start pouring the mix together.

“got room for one more to join? damien and hux started to suck face”

“r-really?!”

“nah but i could sense that wanted to so i’m giving them some privacy” gavin says before walking over and wrapping his arms around you from behind. “whatcha making my little freelancer?”

“we are making red velvet cupcakes”

“sounds yummy, but not as yummy as—”

“ahem, we are not the only two in here gav” you say sternly.

“i’m aware” gavin says while starting to plant kisses on your neck.

“gav” you say in a warning tone that’s barley about a whisper.

“alright alright” he says finally letting up. “lasko you wanna get in on this?” lasko’s face heats up once more as he faces down to focus on prepping the cupcake tray.

after putting the cupcakes in the oven you all go back to the living room to help set up the pull out couch and set up a movie. huxley had damien to snuggle up with and lasko watched as you laid back in gavin’s lap. you noticed his anxiousness and opened your arms for him, he glad took your invitation and you instantly started played with his hair.

“hey scooch i wanna be party of the cuddle party” you giggle and open your arm for huxley to move both damien and himself into your side.

“my legs are getting crushed”

“suffer” you smile up at gavin as he leans down to place a kiss on your forehead.

“anything for you”

you sigh happily at the pile of friends you have as you watch them watch the movie you put on. you can never express how grateful you are for them to be in your life.

“i love you guys”

5+1: headcanons!

got tagged by the oh so lovely @romirola , the queen of headcanons hehe.

5 headcanons i hold +1 i'm still working on >:3 i spent a lot of time choosing these bc boy oh boy do i have a lot ajskdlf

Babe is 100% an author in their free time. Sometimes they ask Asher’s mom for pointers on how she balanced life and writing and they’ll even bounce pitches off of her. It was a really sweet bonding moment for them. Ash used to read their rough drafts but he was too excited to read it that very very little edits would ever be made asjdkfl (he got demoted from his place as editor. sorry ash)

Damien really likes to be the big spoon when him and Hux are cuddling even though size wise it’s a little bit like he's an awkward backpack. Neither really mind though. On that same note they don’t cuddle when they’re sleeping, but they always fall asleep holding each other. Their asleep bodies move them to other ends of the bed at some point before morning and they always have to find their way back to each other when they wake up.

The shifters’ cores literally feel different when they’re with their mates. There isn’t necessarily an absence of their mates’ presence if they aren’t around them (i.e. if they’re at work or something) but there IS a sense of fullness when they are. Their mates make them feel whole, even if they didn’t even know they were missing something in the first place. 

Aaron and Elliott shared a room as little kids and Aaron DEFINITELY put tape down the middle to separate the halves. Eli, following through with his little brother duties, would purposely cross it just to make Aaron mad. The amount of times their parents had to separate them got so exhausting that they got their own rooms as soon as physically possible. 

Asher definitely has some really really stupid tattoo that he got because he lost a bet to Milo. To his credit, Milo really didn’t think he would actually get the tattoo, but Ash is the type of guy that has no shame at all. Now that it’s been a few years he actually kind of likes it. 

+1. This one is still in the very very early stages of curiosity but what if Cutie had dated an unempowered person before and they had to watch their memories get wiped.... and whether the separation is permanent or not the department started asking about Geordi. Just… been thinking about that one. (memory modification and covert laws fascinate the hell out of me what can i say)

[free-boundsoul]

It's been awhile since I did some headcanons. So why not the best fiery boi that I really wish we could get some noncanon audios of

Damien Headcanons

I know I've said this in a post earlier, but he's the shortest of the DAMN bois. He's actually around average height, the other three are just taller. Gavin likes to tease him about it by purposefully putting things out of his reach.

He's very invested in eating healthy and making it delicious. Meal preps for the week so he can just grab something on the way to class so he doesn't have to stress about making or buying food between classes.

He gives really good massages (I still think Hux gives the all time best, but Damien would come in second) I can just imagine him focusing warmth into his hands to help relax muscles as he works through knots. He and Hux give each other massages after workouts and they each swear the other is the best.

He's the designated 'mother hen' of the group. Makes sure everyone wears sunscreen (Yes Gavin, that includes you, I don't care if you say demons don't have to worry about UV rays. Set a good example for the children). He packs extra snacks and water. (If anyone mentions it, he just says he wanted extra weight in his pack for strength training) he's the one who holds onto any tickets or passes for events and makes sure everything is scheduled to a 'T' and keeps everything running smoothly.

On that note, he will bail any of his friends out of trouble. But he will remember it. And probably use it as blackmail

Speaking of blackmail. He keeps a record on all the professors he's had. He keeps track of every time one of them has made a negative comment on demons or vampires. If they refused to help a humanborn student with something they're struggling with. He records everything with dates and it is in order and he's ready to use it.

He likes to do Sudokus, word searches and crossword puzzles when he's bored. Especially the difficult ones that take forever. Freelancer gifted him a bunch of different books of them for Christmas one year. (Along with those mandala coloring books and pens because actually finds those relaxing)

He hates the thought of owing someone money so he tends to pay for things a lot. (He might also have anxiety that he has to pay the crew back for being friends with him because he's not used to people sticking around)

Before he and Hux started dating, he had a little succulent garden that he got so annoyed with because it was always close to death no matter what he tried. It wasn't until Hux saw it that he was able to tell him how to properly care for them.

He has a coffee mug for each member of the DAMN crew that he saw while out and about and had to get it and that's their designated mug to use while they're at the house. (Freelancer and Huxley found a mug for him while they were hanging out together and Hux brought it home so Damien wasn't let out because he wouldn't pick a mug for himself)

[running-tweezers]

Ok, I’m finally doing it.

The Damien/Huxley Pining Playlist

I am well known amongst my friends for my Far Too Thought Out Playlists. I have one for like, every D&D character I’ve ever made, and have written full Google docs about each song and why it’s there.

Combine that with my voracious love of DamiHux and pining? We get this.

So if you just want to listen without reading an essay, I will put my annotations and thoughts under the cut. (But it will probably enhance your listening experience tbh)

Congrats you’ve entered the

MARISA ANALYSIS ZONE

Welcome. You’re my kinda people.

First the basics, this playlist encapsulates Damien and Huxley's entire pre-confession relationship, from their first meeting, through Inversion, to the confession itself. It alternates POVs, I’ll label each song with a color to make it easier to follow. Cool? Let’s go.

——————————————————————————

Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng

Kicking off the playlist with one of my very favorite songs on it. First song, Damien’s first impressions of Huxley.

The denial was REAL. Those initial feelings were met with a “OH NO, OH GOD, OH FUCK” kind of reaction. Damien was totally unsure of what to even do with what he was feeling. After all, he isn’t the kind to get so mushy and sappy over a little crush! Especially on someone he literally just met! He’s far too cynical for something like that. So he just tried to push it down, ignore it.

But it “won’t sit still” “won’t do what it’s told”. Huxley came into his life and changed EVERYTHING. In a way that feels incredible, but makes things complicated. And he’s going to have to deal with it eventually.

But not now.

Enchanted - Taylor Swift

Putting this song on this playlist is part of where my “Huxley is a Swiftie” headcanon came from. It was a joke at first, I swear.

This is Huxley’s POV of their first meeting at the bowling alley. The “forcing laughter, faking smiles” really plays into where Hux was at that point, still putting on a bit of an act and not letting people see past the surface level. But he met Damien, they hit it off, and Hux was immediately feeling some kinda way.

I’m convinced this big guy had some giddy, twirling hair, kicking feet energy about Damien. Thinking about him for days after they met. Hoping that they would continue to be friends and get closer. And that this was the beginning of something that could be amazing.

Trouble - Troye Sivan & Jay Som

You can’t deny it forever, Damien.

This is Damien coming to terms with the fact that yes, he does have some feelings for Huxley. He’s now got a group of friends like he’s never had before, and that’s changing his outlook a little bit. He doesn’t want to live like he’s been living anymore, focused entirely on school and grades, and hurrying to the future he wants for himself.

And one of those friends felt like something different to him and he can’t deny it anymore. As scary as that was.

THATS WHAT I WANT - Lil Nas X

I think we as a society do not talk enough about how lonely Huxley was.

Huxley was the kind of guy who was friendly with everyone. He was liked by pretty much everyone. He was liberal with hugs and willing to give every ounce of love he had to other people.

But he was still guarded. Playing the version of himself everyone expected. Afraid to be himself. All that friendliness and love given away didn’t translate to anything substantial.

He wanted someone to love him back.

And now he had friends! Which was amazing and made him a lot less lonely. But one of his friends, again, was different. And he desperately wanted a different kind of love back from him. One he was more than happy to give, but afraid he wouldn’t receive in return.

Out of My League - Fitz and the Tantrums

First of all. God I love Fitz and the Tantrums.

We know that Damien doesn’t think he’s good enough for Huxley. He ESPECIALLY thought that in this stage, around the time of Friendsgiving.

Damien knows he’s easily annoyed, loses his temper quickly, and doesn’t think he’s much to look at either. But Huxley is so patient, is a calming presence, and is incredible to look at as far as Damien’s concerned. Huxley is so wonderful, and so far out of his league that he really thought he had no chance.

But that doesn’t stop him from daydreaming. Hoping someday he might be more than just a dream.

Golden - Harry Styles

Damien might think that he’s not good enough, but Huxley would definitely beg to differ. In a lot of ways, Huxley thought Damien was too good for him. Too smart, too bright, too driven to be interested in someone like him.

So he decided to keep his feelings to himself. Because he knows Damien isn’t nearly as open with that kind of thing as he is.

Also I think this song’s bright, firey, sun-coded imagery being seen as something to be admired and adored is really in line with Huxley seeing everything Damien thinks is bad about himself and loving him for those exact things.

Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery

This is the one. I could do a whole lyric by lyric breakdown of this one. But I will attempt to keep it brief. Bc I’m obviously so good at that, just look at this post

Immediately after the Inversion, Damien had some very complicated feelings. About Huxley, about himself, about everything. This song encapsulates all of that.

Huxley saves his life in several ways that night. Both by being a support during his breakdown, and physically, literally saving his life when he exhausted all his magic. And he still feels like he can’t reach out. They hasn’t spoken at all. I can’t help but think that maybe he feels like it’s better that way, like it’s his fault, like Hux doesn’t want to hear from him. After all, Huxley was so emotionally mature about it all and he was not.

Combine that with his feelings of inadequacy, looking back at the night and wishing there was some way to take back some the the decisions he made. He would’ve helped Hux the same way Hux helped him, if he had just done things differently.

So he’s throwing himself completely into training. Maybe if he just works hard enough, he can make up for it. And maybe those complicated emotions will go away.

Also. Two specific lyrics I feel I need to point out. “I need you here to stay” is an excellent counterpart yo Huxley’s “right here” and we all know how I feel about a fuckin motif. And of course “all my emotions feel like explosions when you are around” is almost literal in this case’

(I have so much more to say about this one, but perhaps another time)

Heat Waves - Glass Animals

Though Huxley seemed to handle the aftermath of Inversion with a calm maturity, that doesn’t mean he didn’t have his own struggles.

As he went home to be with his family and deal with things, his feelings for Damien stayed. I do wonder what he was thinking during that time, when Damien wasn’t talking to him after everything they went through. I think that maybe he also blamed himself a bit. Maybe they weren’t as close as he thought? He felt like no matter what he did or said, it wouldn’t help Damien, no matter how much he wanted it to.

Also like. “Heat Waves” is too perfect a concept to not use in this playlist.

Delicate - Taylor Swift

After things start to return to some kind of normalcy after Inversion, Damien’s feelings for Huxley are stronger than ever. There’s no denial anymore, he really likes Huxley. He’s thinking about Huxley a lot. He wants to be with Huxley.

But things are different now, whether they like it or not. Inversion changed things, and everyone is still working through that night at their own pace. So there is a lot of hesitation on Damien’s part about what he should and shouldn’t do about the feelings he has.

By this point they’re hanging out together more, just the two of them. And Damien is really wrestling with whether or not to let Hux know how he feels. There’s a fear that he might upset the delicate situation they’re currently in, as friends who have been through hell together and are still healing from it.

Dandelions - Ruth B.

At the same time that Damiens’s so concerned about what moves to make, Huxley has never lined harder. He is firmly in “lovesick puppy” territory. He’s gotten even closer to Damien, and know him on a deep level now. He knows the parts of Damien he doesn’t show most people. And he loves them.

Damien just makes him so happy.

This song’s imagery is so good as well. It gives vibes of lush, green earth and flowers and something just so Huxley imo

In My Head - Joe Serafini & Andrew Barth Feldman

I am incapable of making a playlist for anything without including at least one musical theater song, and this is no exception. Through this not from an actual musical, it’s more theater adjacent, let’s call it.

We’re into right before the confession territory, a song for both of them, a duet. This song perfectly illustrates the awkward stage they’re in, as friends who both desperately want to be something different.

So much of this song feels so perfect for them specifically, it’s like it written for them, I swear. Huxley’s worries about being too much, Damien feeling like he’s not good enough, the gym line, it’s all too good honestly.

Right Here - Betty Who

And the playlist caps off with this one, the song that Erik Redacted himself said was their song. And it really is perfect, especially with that “Right Here” motif carried through their relationship that I love so much. It’s just so damn soft and so am I. I love them your honor.

HOLY SHIT this took so long. I sincerely hope you got something out of all of the ravings of a mad man that this ended up being.

Also @redactedbloop dinner’s ready, eat up!!!

I Don't Know You - 3

The David/Huxley amnesia fic!

I Don't Know You - 3

The next day was a parade of visitors. People came over all day in twos. Huxley’s team captain coordinated their visits, texting with David so as not to knock on the door. He reminded the players before going in that they were to be quiet. Hux didn’t remember half of them from his team but some of them he knew from playing against them in college games and his captain he knew by reputation.

Still, he seemed happy to see them. David had set him up in the corner of the couch and kept the lights low, trying to give the illusion of staying out of the way by loitering in the kitchen.

Sometimes Huxley remembered a game when the others were reminiscing about a play. David’s heart pounded then. They were little memories, but they were filtering back up to the surface when he wasn’t trying to reach them. He could see how excited some of Huxley’s teammates were when they realized it too, and grateful to them when they didn’t point it out or press for more.

Asher had been there all day, outside, talking to the parade of hockey players rolling through. He made it seem like he was just there to hang out, but David knew he was there in case someone needed to be bounced.

Damien and Lasko came that evening, after the team, and even though Huxley was obviously tired, he was also incredibly happy to see them. The relief when he threw his arms around them made David’s heart ache to be remembered too.

He went outside then. He didn’t need to hover while Damien and Lasko were there. He knew they wouldn’t overstep or do anything to hurt Huxley. Damien would burn the house down before he let anyone hurt his family. Although, David did hope it didn’t come to that.

He dragged a deep breath outside and sat down on the porch. Asher came over and sat next to him. “Do you want a hug, boss?”

“Fuck you,” he grumbled.

Asher laughed and threw an arm over his shoulders. “A bunch of the pack want to visit but I told them to wait. It’s already a lot today and…” his words trailed off and died.

He was going to say, “And he doesn’t remember any of us.”

Asher sagged a little beside him.

David looked at his friend and caught the glimpse of his own heartbreak there. Asher and Huxley had been close. So had Huxley and Babe, and Huxley and Milo, and Huxley and Sam. Everyone loved Hux. They went on group trips, had almost weekly barbeques at the house, and regular double dates. Christ, he and Asher had had a joint wedding. The idea that Hux just didn’t know them anymore, that he might not remember them ever, was devastating.

He also saw the moment Asher realized he was being watched and perked up, putting back on a supportive front. He knew why. It was the same reason none of them would be able to talk to him about their own feelings right now—because his loss would always be bigger than theirs.

David ruffled Asher’s hair, palming the back of his head.

Asher pretended to hate it the same way he had since they were kids.

“He remembered some of his games,” David said, quiet like it was fragile.

Asher blinked. “What? Really?”

David nodded. “When the team was in there talking to him… Some of the games were just last year. I don’t think he realizes that though. He just remembers the plays or the win.”

Asher beamed. “That’s awesome!

David hoped so.

-

Huxley was dead tired and his head had been hurting pretty badly for the last couple hours, but he’d been trying to hide it. He didn’t want David to call off the visits. He didn’t want to be shut up in that room he didn’t recognize or lay down in that bed where he always felt like something was missing, more than a little terrified that he knew what that something was.

“You guys are… together?” Huxley asked. Lasko hadn’t let go of Damien’s hand since they walked in, other than those few minutes where they each hugged before settling down on the couch with him.

They did let go of each other then, almost jumping apart like they were kids who got caught. “Oh. Oh, yeah. I mean… It was… Well, it’s not a secret,” Lasko rushed to explain, words rolling out but still in a whisper. “It’s been like a year and Damien works-works at the university but we’re not like in the same department or anything and you were one of the first-first people we told.”

“Dudes, I’m happy for you. I’m sorry I don’t remember…”

Lasko exhaled relief and Damien almost subconsciously rubbed his back, while looking at Huxley. “Don’t be. You were happy for us the first time too. So, how are you doing? This has to be really stressful…”

Huxley laughed a little. His head hurt behind his eyes, but he tried not to squint too much. “Yeah. It’s been… well, it’s been really weird.”

“The memories will come back though,” Lasko said, almost urgent with his optimism.

Huxley smiled, grateful that they came, that his whole team had come. He was really lucky.

“And if they don’t, you get to do a bunch of firsts over again,” Damien countered.

“Firsts?” Huxley asked.

Damien smiled. “Yeah. Have you seen your garden yet?”

Huxley blinked. “No.”

“It’s pretty impressive. You and David work on that thing all year. You should go see it before your memories come back. It’s not often you get to surprise yourself with your favorite things.”

Huxley and Lasko both stared at Damien.

The room got a little warmer, the fire elemental flustering. “What? Was that the wrong thing to say? I just thought—”

“No,” Huxley smiled. “No, that’s a pretty cool way of looking at it.”

Damien exhaled relief and sputtered, looking away.

“So…” Huxley started again, glancing toward the empty kitchen. David had gone outside. “We still hang out, right?”

Damien raised an eyebrow. “What? Yeah, all the time. I mean, we all have our own schedules, but we get together at least a few times a month.”

Huxley nodded, relieved. “And…” he hesitated. Why did he need to ask at all? Maybe because he was living in a house with a stranger?

A warm hand took his and he realized he’d closed his eyes. Damien had reached across Lasko to take his hand, both of them watching him with so much care. “Ask it,” Damien said, voice steady and low. “Whatever it is, just ask it.”

“Do you like David? Is he… are we good?”

Damien stared at him. He wouldn’t lie to him, Huxley was sure of it. If Damien had any doubts, if there was anything to know or worry about, Damien would know it and he would tell him. He looked him dead in the eyes and said, “He’s great. You’re great. He’s always made us feel like we were family, honorary members of the pack even.”

Lasko nodded. “You guys were really happy.”

Huxley nodded, not sure why that didn’t make him feel better. Maybe because it just felt like he’d lost something big? And taken something from David too…

Damien gave his hand another squeeze. “If it’s ever too much, you can always stay with us. You know that, right?”

Huxley huffed a tired, strained laugh. His headache was officially making it hard to keep his eyes open. “Like that would go over well…”

“Hux…” Lasko’s quiet voice drew his attention, forcing his eyes open again. Lasko looked worried.

Damien spoke. “You’re not being held prisoner. David’s going to care and he’s going to worry if you leave, but he’s not keeping you here. You could go with us if you wanted to.”

Huxley blinked. It felt like a cold bucket of water. Had he really been thinking David was going to stop him from leaving? Maybe. But even knowing he could leave, could go home with his friends and be with people he knew… he didn’t want to go. Not really.

“Are you guys staying for dinner?” Huxley asked.

Damien still looked worried.

“Unless you have somewhere to be, of course… I don’t know what—”

Lasko shook his head. “No. We can stay!”

Knuckles tapped so quietly at the front door that they barely heard it before the door opened and David walked in, his friend on his heels.

Damien was still holding Huxley’s hand and made no move to drop it, the three of them almost snuggling in Huxley’s corner of the couch now. He turned his head toward the shifters. “David, what do you have for dinner? The prince is hungry.”

Huxley wasn’t sure what he’d expected but Damien comfortably demanding food and the alpha huffing and walking into that open kitchen to list off their oven-ready options wasn’t it.

David’s friend sat in one of the big chairs, talking to Lasko and stealing glances at Huxley. He felt like he should recognize him and knew that he should. He was in a bunch of the pictures on the walls, but he didn’t know his name until David said it, telling Asher to get people drinks.

Asher. Yeah, he had seen him the other night at the hospital too.

How many people had Huxley hurt by forgetting the last three years? He would know if he could remember…

-

Everyone had gone and it was just the two of them.

Huxley’s head was splitting but he still stood there, torn between needing to lay down and wanting to step closer to David. Only he didn’t know him.

“You should get some sleep,” David said, his voice that low rumble that made something ease inside Huxley’s chest. “I’ll grab you another pill for the pain, okay?”

“It’s not that bad,” Huxley said, but he wasn’t sure if he was right. His head really hurt. He’d barely been able to keep his eyes open the last half hour.

“Go get in bed. I’ll grab some water and the meds.”

Huxley nodded and ducked down the hall, toward that room.

He stopped a few steps inside, feeling somehow both out of place and at home at the same time. It was confusing. The room was frustrating. He’d been trying to avoid it. He went into the adjoining bathroom and brushed his teeth. David had had to tell him which brush head was his that morning.

He heard David in the bedroom and when he came back from the bathroom, David was changing his clothes. He was down to a pair of black briefs, long muscular limbs and a board back. Huxley stared, thinking he should look away but not doing it. David pulled on a pair of sweatpants. Huxley wasn’t sure which ones were his and which ones were David’s. Their clothes seemed to be mixed together. David tossed his shirt into the hamper and pulled a new one from a drawer. It was a loose fit and he ruffled his hair with a yawn.

This had to be exhausting for him. His spouse was just gone and he was basically babysitting Huxley. What had they been like before, when it was just the two of them? What did they talk about? What did they do?

“Hux?” David asked, closer.

Huxley snapped his eyes open again, realizing he’d pressed them shut. “Sorry.”

David shook his head, obviously worried. “Today was a lot. The healers said you needed to rest but…”

“It was nice to see everyone.”

He nodded, picking up something off the bedside table and a glass of water and bringing it over to where Huxley still stood. “Everyone really wanted to see you. I can’t blame them.”

Huxley took the water, feeling heat climb his face. He put out his palm and let David tip the pill into his hand. “Thanks,” he said and took the medicine, the word feeling like too little. He drained the water and walked to the bed, putting the glass down. “For, all of this. I know this has to be awful for you…”

He looked up and David was watching him, unreadable. Was he really unreadable or was it just that Huxley couldn’t read him? His heart beat faster under that gaze. “Where’s my phone? I should set an alarm or—” he babbled, tearing his gaze away almost frantically.

“You don’t need a—Wait,” David jerked a step closer, arm out when Huxley reached for drawer on the bedside table in search of his phone.

Huxley stared down at the contents, heat rising to his face. Lube, toys, rope, polaroids…

He closed the drawer and jumped to his feet. He kept thinking about the contents—about those pictures. He wanted to see them, suspecting he might be in them, but still feeling like an intruder. “I’m so sorry, dude,” he rushed out.

David sighed. “You don’t have to apologize… Everything in this house is ours.”

Huxley nodded, trying not to think about the details of that. Everything was theirs. Everything in that drawer was theirs… He took a step back. “You know, you basically slept on the floor last night. You should take the bed tonight and I’ll crash on the couch.”

David stared at him.

Huxley couldn’t quite meet his gaze. Fuck. Fuck, this was so awkward and he was the reason. He was the one making it worse.

“Take the bed, Hux. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

Huxley shook his head but David was already walking around him, to the door, getting there before him.

“Get some sleep, please. You don’t need an alarm. You just need to rest,” he said on his way out, gently closing the door behind him.

Huxley dragged a breath, staring at that shut door and wondering if David was still there.

TAG GAME LETS GO!!!! i think this is the first time i’m doing a tag game here so. here! @konnorhasapen tagged me to assign some songs to redacted ships and i think i have the right ones :] here ar my favs below the cut, in no specific order 👍🏽

Tank/Quinn Butch 4 Butch by Rio Romeo (x) yeah this ship makes me go insane as is because i love angst and pain and torturing myself, and this song just kind of gets it man. kind of puts a perspective on all the abuse and pain and makes the obvious delusion, hurt and doubt sound normalized and romanticized, and so it’s easier to get a peak into the mechanics and warped mindsets of abusive relationships through it. yeah. just listen to it. going loco everytime i put this song on 🤪

Tank/Sam Sunlight by Hozier (x) sam said his darlin’ feels like sunlight on an easy day, but i think this song is mostly from tank’s pov. the overwhelming feel of the song that fills up your chest would be how tank saw it too, a stark contrast from what they know, as opposed to sam who paired sunlight with ‘easy’. “who would trade that hum of night for sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?” to “a soul that’s born in cold and rain knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight” and the fact that it is so new to them that it feels bigger and grander and holier than they’d ever known. AHHH DO U SEE WHAT I MEAN. YEAH.

David/Angel BREAKFAST by half · alive (x) it just feels like an easy song, but it’s obvious from the lyrics that it’s still really daunting. david’s character arc has always been about learning to accept and ask for help. his main problem was not being a dick about it in the process, which stems from him finding vulnerability daunting, and angel kind of provides that kind of support with the dickyness just, on default. the “strength in the open, the broken and exposed, should I flee to the mountains?” bit. it hasn’t been easy for him to get used to that but he pulled through!!! and. yeah. also, breakfast is just something david’s plenty good at, and food is sorta his way of showing he cares........................... i’m kidding his song is rude boy by rihanna.

Milo/SH Apple Pie by Lizzie McAlpine (x) the whole thing with milo and his mom and how they kept moving around, and then him and sweetheart moving into Their Own Place ... yeah.. the song itself is about the concept of home and your other person, and there’s a verse about cardboard boxes and moving and just. yeah :’) also, it’s established that milo is ALSO good with food. 

Asher/Babe Video Games by The Young Professionals (x) not the lana del rey (original) version because something about a male voice claiming to be in a sundress is just. very ash-core. i think the song itself is pretty self explanatory if you’ve seen his videos. video games are his number one comfort thing, and the first time he confessed his love was WHILE they were playing a halo game, and said playing was a big part of why he felt compelled to do it. like i said, self explanatory. 

Gavin/FL Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur (x) this ship was a tricky one to pin. ik, overused song, i KNOW. was initially gonna go for an arctic monkeys song but gav is so much deeper as a character than that kind of erotic tension. this decision is also influenced by imp!gavin. gavin even in the imperium universe is set on a future with the freelancer and it’s just AHHH it’s the “i’ll love you in every universe” thing + the purest love you can imagine, the kind that feels as easy as breathing despite both of their baggage, the kind that only grows with age. i have Thoughts about this ship man idk. can u tell gavin’s a fav :’)

Huxley/Damien Impossible by Nothing But Thieves (x)  i can just picture dames listening to this song on repeat for hours thinking of hux. idk if the album cover’s colours have tricked me into thinking the song is damien-coded, but it makes a lot of sense for these two, y’know? huxley handles hardships like it’s a breeze, even if it isn’t, and dames isn’t used to that level of optimism. he teaches damien to be vulnerable, and moreover that he can handle him being vulnerable, because that’s something i’m sure dames has an issue with. i just love them sm, especially hux. i would  really like a huxley hug 😔

Aaron/Smartass  Nerve by Destroy Boys (x) pretty obvious why. “you stride right in and you get on my nerves, but I won’t say I’m disturbed because I want you to” y’know? also the high-hats and cymbals with the guitar, that kinda high energy rock music just reminds me of their banter. put that over passive adoring lyrics and you’ve got these two idiots ^-^

tagging -> open tag!! idk enough of u and enough of u well enough to tag people :^) literally nobody’s coming to mind help

[caelumsnuff]

i know you've moved on from the 'all listeners are [insert whatever]!' discussion but i have got to tell you the funniest way someone decided to tell me that all the listeners (or at least ones with bonus audios) are AFAB was because lmao that when the speaker character (whether it was david or asher or gavin etc etc) goes down on the listener in bonus audios them practicing their oral fixations lol 'never sound at all like the blowjob sounds that happen in damien and huxley's bonus audios.' basically someone telling me 'those are cunnilingus sounds okay!!!' and lmao sure it doesn't sound similar (like none of the gagging sounds that happen in damien & hux happen in the others) but lmao it is the weirdest and funniest way someone has tried to pull a 'gotcha!!' on me about these characters sex and/or gender lol

This is genuinely hilarious. I swear for people who act like arbiters of sexual intercourse, they sure do know so little about actually doing it.

Do people know that you can give head to a person with a cock without like.... putting it in your mouth. And some of us don't make gagging sounds even when we do.* Like there are a handful of ways to give fellatio, you do not have to make slurping and suckin and gagging sounds to be sucking cock.

Anyways, sex sounds in erotic audios (that are 4A) are meant to be ambiguous, the best way to do that in regards to oral is typical licking and slurping sounds. You can't gag during head in an audio that is meant to be ambiguous about genitalia. Cock wielders are gonna be like "oh fuck yeah thats sexy", while all the pussy wielders are gonna be thoroughly turned off because they just had to listen to someone gag while fantasizing that they were getting eaten out.

All the lack of gagging sounds from those audios tell me is that those characters also give that gooseneck guack guack 5000. Like they got no gag reflex, they are sucking in utmost comfort.

Be alright

Thanks to my closest mutual for swapping stories with me. You help me so much bestie @thesunandmoons-blog . Love that I met someone like you!!! 

cw/tw- burnout ig and an exhausted freelancer

word count- 620

fandom- RedactedASMR

pair- D.A.M.N polycule (Hux, Damien, Gavin and Lasko)

Freelancer shut the door behind them with a click. 

Lasko had decided to work from home for the day since his allergies tended to worsen this time of year. He was around here somewhere and they didn't want to distract him.

They blink, eyes burning. They were exhausted from their day at the academy and they knew they'd crash if they didn't take a break. 

They were at least that self aware by now. 

"Carve some time out for yourself. Take a rest," Huxley always said as he hugged them to his chest the second he got home. Those words always came at the right time, whether he knew it or not.

"Hello?" came his shaky voice from the living room. They lean against the doorframe, closing their eyes against their need to stay awake. 

"Oh. Hey Freelancer," they can hear the smile in his voice even before they bend down to press a kiss to his cheek.

"How was your day?" his soft eyes take them in.  

"It was good. I still need to get a few things done, but overall, it was a very productive day." They weren't lying, they just weren't explaining much.

He doesn't question them as he takes their hand. 

"Do you know when the others are coming home?" he asks instead, tugging them to sit beside him. They do.

"Hux is at practice. Damien and Gav will probably be here soon," they explain.  

Before he can say anything else they shoot up from the couch, mumbling something about studying before disappearing into their bedroom.

30 minutes later

Everyone gathers in the living room, except Freelancer, the room a tangled mess or nerves and concern.

"Are they okay?" Damien asks, arms crossed in front of his chest. Huxley can always appreciate his arms, but now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.

Gav can sense everyone is on edge and that, he simply won't allow.

"Hux and Damien, could you guys please wait in the bedroom for us? And Lasko, come with me." Everyone got to work, Gavin asking Lasko to wait outside while he talks to Freelancer.

And as he steps inside, a flood of emotion hits him.

Relief at seeing him, yes, but that wasn't all. It never was.

There was frustration and hurt and sadness, and he wanted to make it all better. 

They were bent over their computer, shoulders hunched. 

"Deviant," he says, soft. "Come with me." He can see they want to protest, but he isn't taking no for an answer. Lasko appears behind him, taking Gavin's hand in his and squeezing.

"We just want you to be happy and healthy," he says, moving to his knees at their side. 

"I love you guys," they say, voice thick. 

They slowly get up and allow the incubus to lead them to the bedroom that the five of them share.

They always studied in the spare room, not to disturb the others and to hide at the worst of times. 

When they step into the room, Damien and Hux wrap their arms around the Freelancer and they break down in tears. "Take a rest," the earth elemental whispers into the crook of their neck.

And they do, getting into bed still fully clothed, Huxley at their back, Gavin at their front and everyone else enveloped in the warmth of the others. 

"We want you feeling okay," they hear Damien say. 

"We love you so much, it's hard to think about sometimes," Hux says. 

Gav wraps an arm around them.

"You will be alright. And if you aren't, then we will fix it. Together."

"Together," they whisper as they doze off, content in the quiet. In the unconditional love they all share.

5 + 1 Headcannons

I was tagged by the wonderful @romirola 💜 so here goes! Consider this an open tag to anyone who would like to join!

rules: share 5 redactedverse headcanons you hold, plus 1 headcanon you're still working on!

HCs under the cut!

1.) Huxley likes to knit! He learned from his moms and its super relaxing for him to get his mind off stuff. Plus, then he has stuff to give to his bros! He especially likes using the chunky yarn and the DAMN fam all have scarves he made for them. (Damien wears his even though he claims he doesn't need it)

2.) Damien is the best cook in the DAMN fam, especially after he moved in with Hux and they have a good sized kitchen. He invites everyone over once a week so he can be sure they're eating at least one good, healthy meal a week. (And he always makes a lot of leftovers so his friends can take some home)

3.) Lasko needs glasses but he's always misplacing or breaking them. So he ends up buying a lot of cheaper glasses from websites that let's you put in your own prescription. He finds a lot of unique ones that he saves for special occasions. (FL found him a pair that have dice designs on the arms and they glow in the dark. He likes wearing them to DnD nights)

4.) Empathy daemons have hair that changes color depending on their mood. Caelum's is usually pink because he is usually happy but it turns yellow when he's curious or it tinges in red if he's getting frustrated. It was a deep navy after the Inversion. (Regulus' is a deeper pink/magenta but it's been green lately whenever his listener dreams about him again)

5.) Freelancer took the 'master of none' line that Gavin said at their first meeting personally. They don't hold it against Gavin but they keep hearing it from other students or professors and it's now a sore spot. So they're determined to master as much as they're able to.

+1) Gavin has thought about the Freelancer’s mortality and has wondered if they'd consider vampirism sometime down the road. But he knows how much they love magic, and their abilities and hasn't asked them about it yet. He's taken up researching other ways to try and prolong their life, and in the meantime, he's more than content with just being able to enjoy the life they have.

redacted audios: huxley/damien, rated G for Goodness.

READ ON AO3 IN FULL

A warm touch against his knee wakes him - and he jerks awake to find Huxley leaning in from the other side of the car, dark eyes wide as he lifts his hands into the air, fingers spread wide and open.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“No- it’s okay. We’re here?”

Huxley’s expression breaks into a soft grin, crooked at the edges, his eyes creasing with it.

“Yeah. This is home.”

--

bumpy air

It’s about a two hour drive to the small mountain town that Huxley and his family call home.

The drive is a pleasant one, for the most part, winding through seemingly endless forests of green - and it’s not as if they didn’t have trees in California: the redwoods were pretty fucking impressive, but something about this endless wilderness feels different.

It probably has a lot to do with how the trees are packed tight enough to block out the light, especially when they drive deeper in, and it’s under the flicker of these shadows that Damien falls asleep, lulled by the gentle murmur of conversation from the front.

A warm touch against his knee wakes him - and he jerks awake to find Huxley leaning in from the other side of the car, dark eyes wide as he lifts his hands into the air, fingers spread wide and open.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“No- it’s okay. We’re here?”

Huxley’s expression breaks into a soft grin, crooked at the edges, his eyes creasing with it.

“Yeah. This is home.”

It’s - different than how Damien had imagined. Not in a bad way, not at all. Just, unexpected.

It fits into that charming little architectural style he’d seen in the towns on their way up with that rustic feel, low slung and sprawling, with an expansive set of gardens on either side. Damien sees the handcrafted wooden shutters, the charms hung around the door, and it slots neatly into place in the image he's starting to put together of Huxley’s moms, and the life Huxley lived growing up.

Still, it’s in the woods, the road leading up to the property long and winding and shadowed by trees, and that at least is exactly what Damien had imagined when Huxley had talked about home.

It’s green and vibrant and alive and Huxley looks as if he belongs here, with his hair unbound and curling around his jawline.

His mom is making her way up the winding drive, ‘to start some tea brewing, you boys need it’ as Huxley grabs the bags out of the back of the car.

He waves him off when Damien tries to help- “I’ve got it, really. Take a load off, get some hot liquid in you. I’ll meet you in the kitchen.”
