Chapter 21: Heat Part 1

Pairings: Poly141xOC, KylexOC, JohnxOC

Warnings: A/B/O Dynamics, dubious consent (she consented before but still), p in v sex, oral (f receiving) unprotected sex (dont do that), bodily fluids mentioned

As Aurora sleeps the boys are sitting in the small sitting room they had cleaned up to make presentable for when they needed to relax over the next few days. They each have their takeout container as they sit eating. After a moment John clears his throat and looks at Kyle. “I know you’re affected by her heat, but I feel like out of the four of us you’ll be able to keep your head the most. We know Ghost is going to go into a rut as soon as he smells her, Johnny is a variable we can't be sure about, and there's a chance her heat and Ghost's rut may trigger my rut. So I need you to be on your toes to make sure everyone is taken care of. I also need you to make sure we don't accidentally mark her. She is going to be sweating too much for us to put a bite shield on her, so you may have to intervene. You have my full permission to scruff me if you have to to get me away from her. I want to make sure she’s safe.” John says as he looks at his Beta. Kyle nods as Johnny and Ghost nod as well. “Aye, ye have my permission too,” Johnny calls out. “Mine too.” Ghost says as Kyle nods at the other pack members. 

“I think you and Gaz should see to her first.” Ghost says as John raises an eyebrow. “With my rut triggered I won't be gentle, she needs you and Kyle to ease her into it and to figure out if she’s going to trigger your rut first. Then Johnny can go with Gaz, and then me. Of course, that will change if she decides she wants someone specific.” Ghost says as the other men nod. They finish eating their food and Kyle turns on the TV so they can all relax as they wait for their Omega to wake up.

Aurora groans as she rolls over. She feels extremely hot, and the clothes she put on earlier are uncomfortable on her skin. She groans again as she makes her way out of the mountain of blankets and quickly begins shedding her clothes throwing them haphazardly around the room. She lays down on the bed, a small whine escaping her throat as she feels her slick gushing from between her thighs. It’s obvious her heat has hit in full force and she feels the growing need for something, anything as her hand quickly shifts between her thighs. She wastes no time in plunging her fingers inside of her, moving them quickly as her other hand begins rubbing small circles against her clit, desperate whines leaving her throat as she tries to make herself cum. She glances up when she hears the door open and sees Kyle standing there. “Oh, princess.” He coos as he looks down at her. He walks over to the bed and stands over her as he watches her desperately try to make herself cum. “Let me taste you, open you up, and then you can have my Alpha’s knot okay pretty girl?” Kyle growls slightly as he grabs the bottom of his shirt, yanking it over his head before sinking to his knees on the bed. He gently swats her hands away and she cries out at the hollow feeling.

Kyle smirks as he grabs the back of her thighs and pushes her knees towards her head. He grabs pillows from the bed and stuffs them under her hips to keep her elevated as he smiles down at her. He releases her legs as he slots himself between her thighs, his face at eye level with her pussy as he smiles up at her. He runs a finger through her soaked folds and she lets out another needy whimper. “Shh. I know Princess.” He coos as he rubs circles on her clit before moving his finger down and inserting it fully, immediately crooking it so it hits that spot inside her that has her whimpers getting louder. Kyle smiles as he leans down, giving her small licks as he inserts another finger. She’s already clenching, and her slick is dripping on the ed soaking through the sheets as he begins licking and sucking harder on her clit. “Please.” She whimpers out and Kyle smiles as he looks up at her. Her head is thrown back as a mix of moans and whines leave her throat. “Cum on my face one time princess and then I’ll fuck you.” He growls out, feeling her contract around his fingers at her words. “I’ll fuck you, fill you up, and then my Alpha will come and fuck my cum out of you and give you his knot,” Kyle growls as Aurora’s moans grow louder, her body wriggling underneath him. He reaches his other arm up and places it across her hips to keep her still as he continues to thrust his fingers in and out, curling them to hit that spot that has her seeing stars as he continues to like and suck at her clit until suddenly she’s screaming as she cums around his fingers. Kyle smiles as he slows his movements, letting her ride out her orgasm before he fully pulls away and sits up to stare down at her.

Aurora is panting and whining as she looks up at him. Kyle smiles as he begins undoing his pants. He pulls his already achingly hard cock out and smiles down at Aurora as she whimpers. He grabs the backs of her thighs pushing them towards her chest as he positions himself before slowly sinking into her. He releases a growl as he feels her envelope him. “So tight Princess.” He grunts as Aurora begins reaching for him, grabbing at him to try and pull him closer. “More, Kyle, Please.” She whimpers out and Kyle smiles as he continues pushing himself inside until he’s finally fully seated inside her. Aurora lets out a loud moan as her body convulses, an orgasm ripping through her at the feeling of being so full. Kyle groans as he watches her slick gush out and drenches his pants and the sheets more. He holds her legs tightly as he quickly begins to give fast, deep thrusts. Aurora’s moans turn into screams as she cums again, Kyle letting out another growl before he hears a chuckle behind him. He turns his head as he continues thrusting to see John standing at the door with his arms crossed. “What a good Omega,” John growls out as he watches his Beta thrusting into her. Kyle groans and lets out a moan as he stills, his hips flush against the backs of her legs as his eyes practically roll back as he cums, the fact that his Alpha was watching having put him over the edge. John chuckles as he begins walking towards the bed, removing his shirt and stepping out of his pants.

Aurora sniffs the air and immediately turns her head towards the scent of Alpha, releasing a whimper as Kyla pulls out and rolls to his lying beside her. 

John smiles as he looks down at Aurora, her legs still open so he can see Kyle’s cm mixing with her slick as it soaks the bedsheets. “So good to my Beta sweetheart. Now present for me.” John growls, his voice deepening with the tone of his inner Alpha. Aurora whimpers as she immediately sits up, moving the pillows out from under her as she turns onto her front. She gets on her hands and knees before lowering her upper half so it is on the bed, her ass in the air, causing John to groan. He runs a hand across her ass, dipping down to gather the dripping mixture of her and Kyle’s cum on his fingers before bringing his fingers to his mouth, a growl escaping his lips at the taste. “She tastes so good with you,” John says as he looks over his panting Beta. Aurora whines as she slightly wiggles her hips, her Omega impatient. “Alpha.” She whines causing John to chuckle as he moves to position himself behind her. “I know sweetheart.” He coos as he pulls his boxers down and lines himself up before slowly pushing inside. Aurora releases a loud whine at the feeling of John filling her up, her pussy convulsing around him causing him to growl at the tightness. “I’m barely halfway in and you’re about to cum.” John chuckles as he continues to push inside until his hips are flush against her ass. Aurora lets out a loud moan as she feels her body tighten up, convulsing around the large cock inside of her. John growls as he slowly pulls out and then thrusts back in roughly. Aurora lets out a scream as the tip of his cock bullies her cervix causing her to cum around him. Kyle groans as he watches them, a hand coming up to brush over Aurora’s back as John begins thrusting, setting a fast pace, his hard and deep thrusts causing Aurora to scream every time. Aurora closes her eyes lost to the pleasure and unable to keep count of how many orgasms have been pulled from her body until she feels John still behind her. She whimpers as she feels pressure against her hole as John releases the loudest growl she's ever heard from him. “Such a good girl taking my knot,” John growls as Aurora feels warmth flooding her insides as John cums inside of her. The pleasure is blinding causing her to lose vision for a moment as she cums harder than she ever has as her body gives out. John wraps his arms around her waist to ensure she doesn't hurt herself as he watches her eyes flutter closed. He gently coaxes her to her stomach as he stays crouched behind her his knot still attached. 

John looks over at Kyle who is smiling. “When I can detach I’ll go get cleaned up if you take care of her. She should be lucid when she wakes up. So she will need to eat before the next wave hits.” John says and Kyle nods as he jumps up and goes to retrieve a rag, a snack, and water. When he returns John is pulling out and Kyle groans as he sees the mixture of John’s cum and Aurora’s soaking the bed. He quickly cleans her up and pulls her into his arms as she sleeps, rubbing soothing circles over her back as he checks the time. She should wake up lucid for a few hours before the next wave hits.

Aurora groans as she slowly opens her eyes to see Kyle smiling at her. Her naked body is covered with a blanket and he helps her gently sit up. “How you feeling princess?” He asks as he brings a water bottle to her lips. “Like I got hit by a truck.” she laughs as Kyle nods. She downs the bottle of water as Kyle gets up and hands her some clothes, a tank top, and shorts. “How long do your lucid periods usually last?” he asks as Aurora throws the clothes on. “About four hours.” She says as she finishes dressing. “Good, let's get you some food before the next round hits.” He smiles and she nods as they head to the kitchen. Aurora settles on the macaroni and cheese that the boys had bought. Kyle fixes the boxed dinner, before gathering a few more items such as protein bars, and handing her another bottle of water. They go into the sitting area where the other guys are and she sits on the couch next to Kyle as she eats her meal. Johnny is on the other end of the couch, his knee bouncing as he inhales her scent. He fights the urge to growl, the Alpha side of his Delta nature begging to come out as he inhales the heat scent permeating the room.

Ghost eyes Johnny as he watches him becoming restless before he reaches over from the chair and wraps a hand around the back of his neck. “Control yourself.” He growls as Johnny nods and leans back to relax on the couch as the group continues watching the movie on TV.

Day 4

What To Expect When You Find Out You Are Expecting What You've Always Wanted, But Couldn't Hope For: Part I by truelyesoteric - (Safe Verse) - (Rating: Mature, Words: 1,951)

Derek finds out he's going to be a dad. 

Basically a [redacted for spoilers] times that Derek found out and one time he didn't. 

(This is the first. Others to come as the story unfolds)

Who Would've Thought I'd Get You? by ToastMaloneIII - (Derek's Happily Ever After) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 1,126)

Shameless, dirty babymaking. That's it. That's the fic.

Mother of Dragons by Lissadiane - (Mother of Dragons) - (Rating: G, Words: 11,985)

Since Hogwarts had opened its doors to werewolves, many Hale children had apparently come through, wary and angry, refusing to socialize with the other students. And one by one, they’d been sorted into Slytherin, obviously, with the odd Ravenclaw to mix things up.

And then along came little Derek Hale, who’d barely gotten his ass on the stool before the hat was calling out Gryffindor.

Everyone thought it was funny, even now, when Derek was in his seventh year. Stiles, though, found it fascinating. 

It helped, of course, that Derek was two years older and hotter than the sun.

Maybe-Vampires and Vengeful Werewolves by Word_Smith_94 - (Alpha and the Spark Series) - (Rating: T, Words: 17,242)

Something's leaving bodies drained of blood in the Preserve, and Stiles can't agree with Lydia and Allison about what it is. At the same time, Derek isn't telling him something, and Stiles is afraid it's something that'll get them hurt. But Stiles is a Spark, and he's smart. He can figure this out, and the pack can handle anything that comes their way.

"Pretend this is our den, kay?" by Survivah - (Raised by Wolves) - (Rating: Mature, Words: 16,141)

In which Stiles is raised by (were)wolves, and he and Derek are childhood sweethearts that never stopped. Also, Kate Argent is a homicidal maniac but a very helpful plot device.

Hi, I'm the Grim Reaper by MrsRidcully - ( Hi I’m Grim Reaper or an Alpha's adventures in Babysitting) - (Rating: T, Words: 716)

“Hi, I’m the Grim Reaper, and this is Jackass”Chris smiled as he looked at his Mate then went back to pointing his gun at the Witch who had caused so much trouble over the passing few weeks.

The Key to Your Heart by HaleHathNoFury (My_Trex_has_fleas) - (Beacon Hills Omegaverse or Derek Hale Is The Moodiest Omega to Ever Mood ) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 35,665)

Stiles Stilinski has come to the small town of Beacon Hills to write a feature on Derek Hale, son of Senator Talia Hale and one of the most sought after (and elusive) omegas in the U.S. He's got drive, persistence, charm and a plan to get Derek to give his first and only interview about his cunning plan to have his suitors try to win his hand by managing to get the key to his heart from the alpha of his rescue wolf pack. 

Stiles is most definitely NOT going to fall in love. Nope, not even a little bit. 

Dammit.

From Me To You - A Series of Emails by NeoCortex - ( After It All ) - (Rating: Not Rated, Words: 8,211)

A series of emails between Stiles and Company

We Grew A Little And Knew A Lot by attackofthezee (noxlunate), noxlunate - ( My Only One ) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 15,851)

“So, you do like me though?” 

“No, I hate you and I’ve spent a ton of time and money trying to make you happy for no reason at all.” Derek deadpans and Stiles can’t help it, he smiles blindingly at Derek and leans in, smashing their mouths together. 

-- Or an A/B/O fic that's totally mostly floof

Nothing Less by bigboobedcanuck - (Nothing Less/Something More ) -(Rating: Explicit, Words: 11,422)

Derek even does up Stiles’s seatbelt, which Stiles thinks he should comment on, because it’s not like he got hit with kanima juice or something. He’s fine. But then Derek’s already sliding behind the wheel, and Stiles keeps losing little pockets of time.

First drabble Prev drabble Next drabble

And no beta or edits. I write these in one go and hope for the best lmao.

*------------------*

Dream watches as the bear walks through the stream. looking at the water and following movements Dream can't see.

The bear eventually gets to some mysterious perfect spot and stays put. it opens its mouth and waits.

For a moment. nothing happens.

Then the fish start to jump and rush and one ends right in the bear's mouth. The bear bites down and starts eating.

It is fascinating.

Nature in motion.

Dream continues to lay right there on top of the branches as he watches the bear continue hunting and eating. at ease with what it does and who it is.

His phone ringing ruins the silence and Dream curses as he grabs his phone quickly checking who is calling now. He sighs at the sight of the caller ID and answers it "Hey Core."

The child, is core still a child?, sounds frantic "Dream? Where have you been!?"

Drema hums as he leans against the tree, watching the wildlife again. Good to see the bear has dismissed the noise he made and it went about its day again "out and about. learning stuff."

core sighs "Dream... the people here need you and-"

Dream hums "No they don't. They can do their chores and tasks themselves. I told you and all of them this before." he is not going to fall into the same trap as always. cutting himself apart to please others. He needs to figure himself out first.

Core sighs loudly again "Dream... If you like it our not. You are still the guardian of positivity to them! They are nervous and you can relax them."

Dream sighs annoyed himself "No Core. I can't. Or at least, i don't want that role anymore. Correction. I never should ahve had that role. I already told you that what i did before was a mistake." he had explained this so many times already. Explained that he shouldn't have tried to stop what Nightamre had been doing.

Yet no one understood!

They kept demanding him to keep doing what he had been doing before.

It is exhausting.

Dream sighs loudly and cuts off whatever Core is saying "I am not coming back to the omega timeline. Let it rest Core and move on. That is what i am doing." and he hangs up the phone. He leans against the tree and calls the number he knows by soul.

one ring later and "Dream! How is your break going? Seen any cool things?" Blue sounds excited.

Dream smiles as he leans against the tree already feeling relaxed. Just hearing his friend and hearing him respect what dream wanted makes everything right. The need to complain disappears and he focuses on the good "Yeah it is pretty cool. I am in a large forest. Saw a bear catch a fish with its mouth." the bear moves towards the side to eat some of the fish it caught.

Blue groans "lucky!! I am stuck in another reset. Kid got stuck somewhere in hotland and my bro and I are trying to figure out a way to hel them progress quicker."

Dream chuckles "You and your brother gave up on acting as if you don't notice the save, loads and resets?"

Blue hums "Well... yeah! I know it is a large risk and a big show of trust... but my brother explained to me that knowing I was there for him? With him in the resets and that i truly understood how it felt? He said it gave him peace and hope. that he felt less alone. And that got me thinking... Maybe... maybe Chara would feel better if they knew they weren't alone? That they didn't need to figure it all out alone? Papy had been unsure but he ended up deciding to trust my opinion and decision..."

Dream hums and nods "how did that go?"

Blue is silent for a moment before answering "Well... we dropped hints first and tried to ease them into the idea... then they ended up having a panic attack and apologising over and over again. We just sat down with them and we spoke it all out. they ended up sleeping over at our place for a while and would ask us everything about how we experienced it. So... I think it helped... thanks by the way."

Dream blinks and laughs "Why thank me?"

Dream can hear the smile in Blue's voice "Because you gave me the idea of it all! You were the one to trust me and share your worries with me. and once you shared those pains you felt better. You explained how the powers and responsiblity got too much and painful... That is when i realised. If you, an actual adult and god already felt like that... how would a child feel with so much power and responsibility but no guidance?" Blue is silent for a moment before he speaks "I know we aren't... we arent suposed to mess with the past or what happened or the anomaly but... How can there be any change if we don't try? Be it for the better or worse? At least we won't be stuck in the same loop anymore."

a moment of silence and Drema speaks quietly "What if they end up deciding to use this for bad stuff? To betray that trust and beleive?" what if blue gets hurt?

Blue hums "That is their choice. My choice was to be willing to trust and help. To beleive in the better and do waht i needed to do to take a step in the right direction."

Dream stares down before chuckling "You are truly one of the few between all of us who is sane and has healthy mental health."

Blue laughs "I have struggles too Dream. everyone has! we all do waht we can to cope. talking about struggles... did something happen?"

Blue is too damn smart and knows him too damn well.

Dream sighs "Smething did but... I honestly don't want to talk about it." he chuckles and rubs his new outfit. a more neutral grey with just a few yellow accents "You already need to listen so much to my problems. I want to be there for you too!"

Blue hums unhappily "dream."

Dream sighs and folds immediantly "just... Core calling again."

an even unhappier hum "We need to get you a new cross-multiverse phone. with a new number that Core doesn't know."

Drema can't help but laugh "maybe we can go shopping later? When your loop calms down a bit?"

Blue cheers "Yes! That sounds great! Oh! Did you want to come over for dinner? Chara is going to be friends with alphys and stuff which leaves me free early!"

Dream smiles "gladly. be there in a bit!" blue replies with his own goodbye and Dream hangs up. feeling much lighter and better than before. he opens a portal and makes the multiverse jump.

--

dinner is amazing and Dream takes some time to catch up wiht both Stretch and Blue. enjoying hearing more about the updates about their universe and how tlaking with Chara has helped them all a lot!

Dream is just happy with Blue is getting closer to the happy ending he deserves. To finally be free and explore the surface world he longs for so badly. Dream is also happy that Stretch seems to be doing better mentally. Dream may not be close with Stretch like with Blue but he still likes the other skeleton! Stretch is nice and can be a true sweetheart. Stretch just has to battle depression and hopelessness at the same time.

Blue once asked Dream if he could heal that for Stretch. a desperate plea from a worried brother. Drema had tried but he couldn't. He had once again remembered that it have been the purple apples that could heal mental illnesses. and he did not have a connection to those. Dream never told Blue that and just told him that Dream could only heal the physical body. That mental health was something that needed other and special care and support of loved ones.

Etiher way. it is great to see both feeling better and happier!

They relax and enjoy their time when Dream's phone rings again.

Stretch shoots it a curious look "I thought you muted that?"

Dream groans and nods "i did." he always does. one check later and a frown "Core again."

Blue sighs and steals his phone. he answers it and speaks right away "One. It is rude to call people at dinner time. two. Learn to take no. three. Stop, you are starting to appear obsessed. solve your own problems. It isn't Dreams issue." and hangs up again before handing it back.

Dream stares dumbfounded but Stretch just chuckles "Careful Blue. YOur protective side is showing."

Blue huffs but doesn't appear embarresed at all "Well! They should learn to take no and solve their own problems instead of trying to make it Dream's issue!"

Dream rubs his cheek "I am not much better... I keep asking you for your help..."

Blue looks at him and shakes his skull "Dream that is different. You ask for help. You accept if I am busy. Core demands help and doesn't accept a no." Blue smiles "See the difference?"

Dream feels himself relax again as he happily takes another bite. He enver needed food but it is nice.

a whistle "impressive."

Drema turns quickly and stares "Reaper."

Reaper grins and waves "Hey Dream. Blue and..." he needs a moment "Stretch right?"

Stretch looks a tBlue.

Blue shrugs at his brother "aparently I, or we for that matter, don't know how to not mess with things and cause alternative worlds. it is a long story. also. Don't touch reaper. everything reaper touches dies."

Reaper nods "it is why i float. Anyway. I had a moment and figured i should check in on the whole god thing and had to tell you guys soemthing but well... dinner." he waves at the table and grins "I didn't mean to be rude but..."

Stretch shrugs as he continues eating "I don't mind. talk god stuff. I am gonna keep eating."

Blue smiles at Reaper "I agree! You can just tell us now.. want a plate?" he waves at the dinner served.

Reaper chuckles and waves it off "I don't need food."

Blue huffs "neither does Dream but it is still a nice experience!"

Dream nods as he eats another bite "very nice. also. Blue and Stretch with all the timeloops are good cooks." Blue is already getting a plate and fork ready for the other skeleton.

Reaper blinks but takes the plate thankfully and carefully. he joins in and hums happily "It is great." and continues eating.

It is nice. a little strange but nice. Dream hasn't felt this relaxed and happy in a long time.

Reaper eats antoher bite before starting to speak "Anyway. I came with a mission." he eats antoher bite.

Dream nods and knows where this is going "Is this about... my job?"

Reaper nods as he eats antoher bite "Pretty much. Got any idea on what you want to focus on as domain yet?"

Dream sighs and shakes his skull "I... I hadn't... I had... wanted to wait with picking... until i foudn Nightmare and could talk things out first." he had wanted to pick soemthing together with his twin. make sure they still matched...

Reaper blinks but grins "you dont need to worry! you two are twins after all. if one of you picks a domain the other will automatically lean towards something that matches." he shrugs "god and twin magic stuff."

Dream blinks and feels a bit better. Their magic will always match?! That is great! That is fantastic and-

No.

Dream shakes his skull "Then I really don't want to decide without him!"

Reaper looks confused "But you will match anyway?"

Dream feels himself shake "Like with positivity and negativity?! No! I am not going to pick anything that can cause that kind of mess and split again!" He isn't going to do that to nightmare again!

Wait...

What if he can pick something that is the negative of the match? That would mean Ngihtmare immediantly gets the positive side right? But it hardly ever has only one opposite! Happiness can be the opposite of both sadness and angry to just give an example!

Or people often say love and hate are opposites but then people say it is love and indifference!

There are too many options and he isn't going to do it!

Reaper frowns "Dream. You can't keep going around without somekind of purpose. You are already heavily leaning on Blue as it is."

Dream looks away embarresed while Blue just frowns "Wait how do you know that?"

Reaper raises a brow "Because you are starting to get a boon."

Blue blinks while Stretch frowns "A boon?"

Reaper nods "Yeah. Gods can give boons to mortals who helped them. The more help and support given generally the stronger the boon. Normally these are given on purpose but well... with Dream's magic slightly all over the place." he just waves in their direction.

Blue frowns "what happens if i get one of these?"

Reaper hums "it depends on the god, the boon and the person. YOu could just be kinda like a workshipper if you get a tiny one. High priest kinda deal is also possible. But... with how involved you are with helping Dream? Probably an acolyte. Very strong powers... and pretty much automatically an outcode if not you just surpass that straight to something between mortal and demigod. Acolytes are powerful blue."

Dream shoots blue an anxious look before staring at Reaper "How do i stop that?!"

Reaper shrugs "Now you know about it? And you know you could do it? It is less liekly you will accidentally do it. especially if you don't want to. Boons are suposed to be a thank you kinda deal after all."

Stretch shares a nervous look with Blue but blue pats his hand "I am okay bro." Blue looks at Dream anxious "Dream... You know I love helping you. Really! But... i don't want to be an acolyte or any boon okay? I am just happy to be able to be friends."

Dream grbas his shoulders and stares at him "Blue. I promise and swear! I will never actively give you one unless you ask me okay? And I will try my hardest and best to never accidentally give you one okay?"

He wills himself, his soul, and magic to get the message. Blue doesn't want a boon. Blue doens't want a title. Dream doesn't want to give Blue either of these. Dream does not want to force either a boon or title on blue.

Reaper puts his plate away and floats at a distance "Sorry for the whole... bad news situation. I just figured... fi you are going to keep dodging picking a domain you need to understand this possibility..." he waits a moment before his phone gives a ding. he frowns at it "Work demands me again. Give it some thought. think about your domain and keep an eye on yourself." and Reaper disappears as if he was never there.

Blue frowns at where Reaper left and gives him a reassuraning smile "Hey. If you don't want to give me one you won't give me one. I trust you to not do it on purpose. And we will just make sure I stay in my own universe more! Not tempt fate!"

Dream frowns as he rubs his arm "Maybe i just need to pick a domain... but i don't want to accidentally force nightmare into a role he doesn't want..." it wouldn't be fair.

Blue frowns but Stretch speaks up "makes sense. fuck knows i would never have willingly picked Blue to also rememebr the resets."

Blue shoots him a look but Dream looks a thim confused "But i thoguth it was helping you?"

Stretch nods "It is. it is nice to have his support and everything" he smiles a tblue sadly befor elooking down "But it is a lot. the resets are a lot. i didn't... i didn't want to force him to deal with that." he shoots blue a look "I didn't want to force you to experience the same thing that i saw as hell. I didn't want to do that to you."

Blue frowns and goes to his brother to give him a hug. Dream relaxes and smiles a bit. because Stretch understands. Stretch understands why Dream can't make this choice just yet. Blue understands as well and... and trusts him.

Dream nods to himself and focuses. He doesn't want to give blue a title or boon. He wants blue to just remain his best friend. he wants blue to get the choice. He wants blue to get his chance to pick his future. He wants Nightmare to get his chance to pick his future.

To make their own paths.

To progress and grow in the way they want.

Dream smiles at the two brothers "Thank you two. for being my friends. real friends." he doesn't have many. which makes the two all the more special. and if they want to remain exactly as they are then Dream wants them to stay the way they are. because that truly gives them the chance to be and become who they want to be. instead of being what Dream wants.

Dream just hopes this will work. Because he also wants a chance to figure out who he truly is. And who he wants to be and what he wants. a chance to change and be. a chance to try and grow as a person.

Maybe that is all he ever really wanted.

*------------------*

Meanwhile Nightmare already figured his own domain out and is working on it. Also. No one tell Dream he already picked one. it just isn't as obvious. after all... Blue did mention that Dream helped him find a way to progress and move forwards :3

dnf | t | claiming, mentions of gituation

I want to learn how to write, I guess, so I'm trying to write at least a little thing everyday for dteam omegaverse week and post it on tumblr. This is my first try for the first day. If anyone has any advice, especially with commas and punctuation, please give.

Dream didn't think it through. They both didn't think it through but Dream only blames himself because he is the alpha. Okay, maybe it is not right to think of George through the lens of traditional alpha/omega dynamic, and he would definitely be offended if he knew that Dream only blames himself, but Dream can't help it. Not in a way that takes any agency from George, but in a way that puts pressure on himself to think about things earlier and protect him from any trouble. And in trouble they are right now, complicated sorta pickle.

The claiming mark is huge.

Calming marks, as they are, vary from person to person, from omega to omega, and the size of the jaw and passion of their alphas. And passionate Dream definitely was, he remembers, feeling prickles of embarrassment on the bridge of his nose and the tips of his ears.

The most recent of George's heats was magical. Okay, maybe that's not the right word, because it was wet, potent, slippery, loud, and kinda gross, thinking about it outside of it. But that one was special, it was the one they both decided to take their relationship further. To stake their claim and tie the metaphorical knot. Though the very much real knot during the process was also involved.

Dream is so giddy thinking about George finally agreeing to entrust everything in him. He embarrassedly admitted that he was willing to do it much much earlier, he came along with Dream to this content creation journey after all. But Dream still couldn't wrap his mind around it. It didn't really matter because this was the moment when Dream finally felt ready. After everything ruined on top of George's head, and the whole internet decided to turn their backs on him, Dream needed to hold him close, promising that he, at least, will try to protect him from everything. George choosing not to run away and leave everything behind, go back to England, or some other dreaded thing, shook Dream to his core. It struck him, finally, that Gorge was actually serious. About this. About them.

Even though it was a dark time, George's heat was due, and they talked. They talked about deep topics so much at that time, that it sorta came naturally. George seemed broken open, so exhausted from everything taking its toll on him, that he no longer cared about pretending to put up any walls. And Dream felt like he finally listened to him, and saw, and actually got him, even though he knew him best out of everyone. Trauma really bonded people. So thus they decided they were ready, committed to each other for forever. This was meant to be their bonding heat.

How this skipped his (theirs) mind, he doesn't know.

The claiming mark is huge.

Reaching from the soft place under George's ear almost to his collarbone. Reddish indents of Dream's teeth forever imprinted around George's scent gland, inflamed little bud in the middle. Dream tries really hard to put off his alpha preening at the job well done. It is not good. It is very much not good because there is no way he would ever be able to hide it even under turtle necks or using the strongest of foundations.

“What the fuck are we supposed to do Dream?”, George grumbles making eye contact with him through the mirror they are in front of.

“Your stupid dumb alpha fucked up. I should have known that you wouldn't be able to be normal about it”, he rolls his eyes exaggeratedly.

Dream traces his finger around the healing wound. At least George's omega also seems giddy underneath his mock annoyance, while he shudders underneath the touch of his finger.

“George. I can't be sorry about it. I'll figure something out but now we should wait. You were still planning on taking a break, right? Maybe it will also get a bit smaller when it heals, a bit less noticeable? I guess we will find something that works for you. Now, we should try not to worry about this, right? I couldn't help myself, George. I love you so fucking much. I can't help myself with you, you are right. It's just. I'm just–...”

“Dream.” There are hands scratching in his hair on both sides of his head. George turned to face him during his rumble and his comforting scent hits Dream’s nose. He takes a calming breath mimicking George's and feels his body relaxing. At last, his eyes find George’s already looking at him. “Yes, I want to wait. But maybe after it, it won't matter as much anymore, you know? Maybe there won't be a need to hide it?”

“George… what?”, he can't. He doesn't mean what Dream thinks he means, right? It can't be-

“We are basically married, Dream. Maybe it will be time for everyone to know, you know? We have some time to figure it out, how we want to do this, and what we are comfortable with, but I'm just saying.”

Dream is dumbfounded. Completely starstruck. He understands the words but he can't make sense out of them. That's everything he wants every day. Especially now, after his hormones are going crazy so recently after the bonding. He wants to climb the rooftops and scream his love for George. He feels the need for everyone to know. His alpha so pleased after staking claim over the smartest, kindest, funniest, hottest omega ever. Overwhelmed with the rush of emotions he surges down and kisses George hard. “Yeah… please...”

George kisses him back through his own smile. They will figure it out. They can do it. They can do anything, together.

Thinking about College AU Terzomega....

CW - Teacher/Student, all are consenting adults!!

Terzo is one of the few Emeritus siblings that works at the college. Theater and theater make-up! Very big in the arts studio and occasionally drops by the other departments where his siblings are. Omega, a senior getting his medical degree, two very different departments that only met as he was staying after in one of professor Primo's class to finish a test he was absent for when Terzo showed up.

Hearing him babble on about his own students, something about a new pallet destroyed. Omega just... Can't help but keep looking up at him, locking eyes one too many times. Omega finishing up his test and turning it in, smiling and thanking both professors and leaving, only for Terzo to follow him after.

"Hopefully he's not pulling your leg too much, hm?"

"Oh, uhm, no, Sir."

Terzo just babbling before finally turning, offering a card. "There's auditions happening in a couple weeks for The Glass Menagerie. You should consider it." Eyes him a little bit. "Hope to see you soon."

Omega just flushes a bit, watching him walk the opposite way, eyeing the card again. He just glances at the card before continuing on his way. For DAYS he's staring at the card, so glossy in black and gold, eyeing the number on it just as much. He's much, much too busy to really do this. He has tests bi-weekly, classes nonstop... But, why not? Give himself an outlet like he's been needing. Never been a theater kid, so why not a theater adult?

Calling the number, and it's picked up fairly quickly. "I-I was interested... About the auditions?"

Asked to meet in a few days, and eventually Omega is sitting awkwardly across from him. Terzo scrolling through his academics before agreeing, looking at Omega a bit more before reaching into his desk and pulling out a script for Jim.

"Just try it! Couldn't hurt."

Oh.

Oh he's terrible. Terzo listening with an eyebrow raised before reaching back in his desk and offering stagehand sign-ups.

"That bad, huh?"

"Oh, very much so. But I admire it! You gave it a try, so that's what important."

Omega laughs a bit and nods, reading over the new sign-ups, talking a bit back and forth but he can't help with his cheeks getting red as they keep talking. Terzo leans over some, smiling, head tilted.

"Would you like to get some coffee? We can discuss more about the responsibilities later, as I have some more people to go through today."

There's a bit of a blank stare before a nod, and personal numbers exchanged. When they meet, it's a bit awkward, but Terzo stays true to his word! Explaining each requirement, each job and his responsibilities.

"Heavy lifting will be required, of course... But someone of your stature?" Looks him up and down and Omega IMMEDIATELY goes red. "You'll be just fine."

It's not too bad, actually! Omega enjoys moving props, assisting the actors and getting to watch behind the scenes. Coffee meetings continue, and before Omega knows it, there's something else there. Something warm and comfortable. All it takes is him reaching forwards for a cautious hand hold after a few months.

There's a pre-performance party a week before the show, and Terzo is there just as bar patron but happily indulging with his class. Omega's never been one to bury himself in alcohol, but his nerves keep rising from classes and let alone the fact he's SO close to his new boyfriend who's also their professor... In front of everyone. It's embarrassing!

Wanna know what's kinda more embarrassing? Drunk rambling to your professor how much he's made you happy and you want to keep going.

What's even more embarrassing? Waking up in his bed.

Terzo settled so comfortably on his chest, Omega just staring at the ceiling as he tries to figure out what to do. He, eventually, settles on holding Terzo tighter, burying his face in dark hair and agreeing that the situation is a thing for not-hungover him to deal with. He just wants to spend time with his secret lover for a bit.

i am back with a wholesome scenario for our boys! (shoutout to my bestie for helping me with this)

so we know that scent glands and biting bond marks can help alphas calm down, yeah? well, i think they also have little fidgets that they do if they feel too overwhelmed/stressed to bite or scent (nobody did this right?)

i think jing yuan and blade would be the types to stare at their partner’s hand bc they want it in their hair or to mess with their mate’s rings/jewelry, 100% can see jy as the one who hides in the crook of your neck or between your shoulder blades while hugging from behind

welt would keep touching his glasses or twisting his cane in his hand, and would probably want to lay his head in his mate’s lap to get his hair played with

luocha, we genuinely have no ideas for bc he probably would just be like “i want attention bc i don’t feel good” or just would suffer in silence until his scent soured so bad to the point his mate was like “dude wtf happened to you? you were fine like .2 seconds ago”

- messy nest + friendo

These are so cute! Messy nest tell friendo thank you for the ideas too and also welcome to hsr omegaverse hell :Dc

cw: omegaverse

I can't get the image of Blade and Jing Yuan being like "Plz pet" as they stare at their omegas hands!

Blade

Playing with his omegas hands while they sit on his lap or rest beside him. The combined warmth of their hands and the difference in how smooth their hands are compared to his is a nice stress reliever. He'll also do it slowly taking in each segment of their hands and following veins and or life lines of their palm.

If they wear any jewelry on their hands or wrists he's fiddling with it, spinning them around, gently tugging it.

Would like his omegas hands in his hair if he's going through a pretty rough time as his hands aching but he still wants some stimulation. Head massages are a definite yes, he might even purr quietly.

Jing Yuan

Uses his omega's lap the most out of any of them he loves how comfortable they are as he rests his head. Enjoys having them comb through his hair with their fingers or brush it for him, puts him to sleep every time. Scratch his scalp and he'll melt.

Definitely buries his face in between their shoulder blades as he uses them as his personal teddy bear. Though it's not as much as it would be if he had his face in their chest he can hear their heart and their breathing which soothes him.

If his omega has any jewelry on them, earrings, rings, necklaces, you name it he's playing with it between his fingers. Loves to gift them jewelry that has varying textures and moveable parts for this purpose, besides knowing it'll look great on his omega of course.

Welt

Another who likes to have his hair played with and rest his head on his omega's lap. Open to head massages and scratches, either will do but massages are best on the days he's got a headache.

Runs his hands over textured surfaces with dips and groves like his cane. Might even begin twirling a pen if he's got one or fiddling with the edges of any book he's reading for stimulation. Adjusts his glasses multiple times and even takes them off to clean invisible dust from them just so he has an excuse to mess with them even more.

Out of all of them he's the one who asks his omega for comfort only after trying to soothe himself first. Though his omega may figure out he needs comfort after seeing him adjust his glasses for the 5th time in 3 minutes.

Luocha

Doesn't want to bother his omega to comfort him as he's more used to looking after them rather than being looked after himself. Will try to resolve his discomfort by himself or keep it bottled up. His omega will be shocked when they catch his scent souring though so he let's them know pretty quickly after that.

It takes a bit of time but eventually he learns to be more open with his needs and let's his omega know, should they not be busy of course, that he needs some comfort. His omega is very willing to being used as a pillow by him or even hold him rather than be held.

Being held by his omega is a great source of comfort for him, if they brush through is hair during it it'll soothe him even more. He'll bury his face in their neck or chest and just listen to their rhythm.

The Animal In Me Loves the Human In You (BuckTommy Omegaverse)

That's such a bad title but I suck at titles. Also sorry for writing Buck and Tommy so OOC

Summary: In which, Tommy gets hurt and Buck goes feral

***

Feral alphas were sadly not a rare occurrence in their line of work. Every month, they came across a case of an alpha going feral, and then they would have to subdue the alpha and make sure they were taken to the nearest alpha care unit. Sometimes Buck and his team were there on time to stop the alpha from hurting anyone but other times, they were as lucky. It both scared and saddened Buck to see other alphas in that state. To think that he is also one bad day away from becoming them terrifies him but to see them not realize the damage they have done until it's too late saddens him too.

Lately, it has become commonplace for alphas to go feral and no one knows why that is. Buck figured there was something in the water. The same water he drank. Shit.

"Tommy! Hey!"

Eddie's voice brought Buck out of his thoughts and all his fears and sadness disappeared when he saw his omega, Tommy.

"Hey, fellas!" Tommy greeted them and his eyes shined when they landed on Buck. "How's it going?"

"What are you doing here?" Buck asked surprised. He resisted the urge to reach out to his omega and pull him in for a hug. But they were working, it wouldn't be right.

"Oh, Lucy and I are here to pick up your patient and transport him," Tommy replied.

"Yeah, I called them," Bobby chimed in. "There are no spaces at the local alpha unit so Jeremy will need to be transported to a facility in Santa Monica."

Buck subtly moved to stand next to Tommy and let their shoulders brush against each other. If he couldn't touch his omega right now then this would have to do.

"Are you okay?" Tommy asked once Lucy started talking to everyone. "I know these cases aren't easy on you."

"Nah, I'm good," Buck replied and smiled at him. "Especially now that you're here."

"You're such a sap," Tommy teased and rolled his eyes. "So what do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Y-"

"I am not on the menu," Tommy quickly cut him off and smirked.

"Well, that sucks. If my favorite dish isn't on the menu then how am I supposed to eat?" Buck pouted at him.

"You'll live," Tommy chuckled, shaking his head. "Anyway, we should get going."

"Do you have to? Can't you just stay a little while and watch me be heroic?" Buck pouted at him again.

"If you two are done flirting, can we transport the patient now?" Lucy cut in.

Tommy cleared his throat and nodded. Buck noticed the slight tint of red on his cheeks.

Buck watched Tommy go, and his heart clenched. He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Eddie giving him a knowing look. "You'll see him later tonight."

"I know, but I just miss him when he's not here with me. I told him to join us instead but he doesn't want to. Says he enjoys flying too much," Buck explained and remorsefully looked at his omega again.

"Come on, let's go. Our job here is done," Bobby told them.

Just as they turned around to leave, Buck heard a scream. He looked back to see Tommy and Lucy trying to hold the feral alpha down. The feral alpha grabbed Tommy's throat and Buck saw red. He growled and ran towards them.

Buck grabbed the other alpha's arm and tried to pull it off Tommy, who was struggling to breathe. When that didn't work, he growled loudly and flashed his eyes at the other alpha, forcing him to cower and let go of Tommy.

Buck kept snarling at him. All he could think was how this alpha tried to hurt his omega. The alpha in him took over and he grabbed the alpha's throat and squeezed instead.

"Buck!" Someone yelled and soon there were hands, trying to pull him away, but Buck didn't budge. He kept squeezing.

"BUCK!" Bobby growled and let his alpha through, flashing his gold eyes at him.

Buck let go of the alpha immediately and backed off, lowering his eyes at the alpha in charge. He immediately went to Tommy's side and checked on him.

"I'm okay, I'm okay," Tommy assured him and tried to smile but failed.

Buck frowned and checked his neck to see bruises there. He immediately wanted to kill the feral alpha again, but by now Hen and Chimney had subdued him and Bobby was keeping himself in between the feral alpha and Buck.

Everything was a blur after that. His entire focus was only on Tommy. He stayed close to his side as Hen looked at him.

"I'm okay," Tommy tried telling Hen but a low growl rumbled in Buck's throat. "Don't you growl at me, Evan," Tommy said, sounding more amused than pissed off.

"The damage isn't too bad," Hen told them. She said something else after that Buck heard nothing. His sole focus was on Tommy.

"Let's go. I'm taking you home," Buck told Tommy.

"We have work to do, Evan. We can't go home," Tommy gently told him.

"I don't care. I am taking you home where I can keep you safe," Buck told him again.

Suddenly someone grabbed Buck's arm and forced him to turn around. "Buck! What the hell were you people doing when that feral alpha attacked my girlfriend?!"

It was Taylor. Buck looked at her hand on his arm and then back at her.

"Get your hand off me before I break it," Buck warned the other alpha.

"You don't scare me, Buck!" Taylor scoffed at him. "You're a pathetic excuse for an alpha. You can't even protect your own omega! How could I possibly expect you to protect mine?"

"Taylor, stop," Lucy tried pulling her alpha back but it was too late.

Buck saw red once again and his alpha took over. The next thing he knew, he lunged at Taylor.

Someone shouted his name and then people were trying to hold him back. But Buck kept growling and snarling, and he only saw Taylor, having a deep urge to kill her.

Buck's only mission at that moment was to kill Taylor and the feral alpha who hurt his omega.

But he was being forced to lie down and was strapped to the gurney as he thrashed about, trying to break free.

"No, no, no, wait! Lemme talk to him before you give him that."

Buck heard Tommy's voice and then his face came into view. He reached out to touch Buck and Buck snarled at him.

"Evan, baby, hey, it's me. Your omega. Your Tommy. You remember me, right?"

How could Buck ever forget him? Buck stopped snarling and just blinked at him instead.

"Yeah, of course you remember me." Tommy smiled at him and Buck suddenly felt a lot calmer.

"Tommy?" His voice sounded small and pathetic to himself.

"Yeah, baby, it's me. I know you were just trying to protect me and I love you for that," Tommy told him in a gentle voice.

Buck's chest stopped heaving and he struggled to push his alpha back. "I'm sorry," he said when he finally won.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. Everyone here understands that you were just looking out for me," Tommy assured him.

"How on Earth did you do that?" Buck heard Chimney ask. "Man, you just calmed down a feral alpha."

"He's not a feral alpha. He's my Evan," Tommy told him before leaning down to kiss Buck. Buck eagerly kissed him back and was freed from the restraints.

Buck sat up on the gurney and pulled Tommy close as he continued to kiss him, not caring who saw them.

Thoughts about your omegaverse fic:

Is Price a part of this polycule?

I feel like the other omega knows what's going on. I don't think the guys would lie to them, so now I'm wondering if the next contact we get is actually from the other omega. And I'm so curious how territorial they'll be.

I find it strange that Reader knows the only way to break a mating bond is a soul bond or whatever (I'm sorry, I can't remember what it's called in this fic, I've read way too much soulmate AU) but now that Reader has LITERALLY FOUND their soul people, it hasn't occurred to Reader that it's their free ticket out of hell? And the only conclusion I can draw is that they see themselves as so undeserving/filthy (and the other omega as the deserving one) that they can't imagine afflicting other people with a permanent tie to them.

Or MAYBE because Reader is so acutely aware of what it's like to be forced into a bond against their will, the idea of doing that to someone else feels too abhorrent to consider, even when the person seems open to it. I wish Reader just had some space to breathe, and figure out who they are and what they want apart from suffocating links to people they don't know! I wish I could slap a patch on their skin and give them a break for a day!

If Reader did get free from their abuser via the soul bond, would he come for Reader? I can totally see him trying to kill them if that happens. (Also how much fucking energy does he have every day to force such a well of hatred down the bond that it sucks Reader dry like that? Like dude, give it a rest)

OH. You know what solve everything? These guys need to go kill that Alpha. THEN Reader can make an informed decision. Yep, that's the answer. You should totally suggest it to them.

Why yes, Void. I will drop the absolute nothing I am doing right now to indulge the huge wall of text you sent my way 🤣❤️

First off, you bet your sexy ass he is ;)

I can neither confirm nor deny the goings on in the pack house and the encounters that follow >> but there will absolutely be more info on points three and four coming soon...

I will say though that the times the bond starts acting up on her isn't always made conscientiously. A lot of the things she goes through are moreso just from the physical strain of being separated from her bonded over such a long distance for a long enough time. At this point they can only really 'feel' each other occasionally (he mostly just fucks with her when he can sense enough powerful emotions over the bond to send a bit of feedback - like when she found her mates and had them brutally ripped away from her) The rest is just the price she paid for leaving her abuser. Even if he was a caring alpha she'd still be going through the ailments that plague her.

I realize I've got a couple loose threads hanging as far as the logistics of my world, but I'm just trying not to shove everything down people's throats all at once. Just a healthy smattering of lore here and there!

And I'll get right on that then, shall I? :)

The King & Queen of Hell - Chapter 6:

"Six months... that doesn't give us a lot of time to recover from last year's Extermination." Pacing around the bedroom, Lucifer's mind was a flurry of thoughts. When Charlie had called them in tears, claiming that she failed them, all Lucifer wanted to do was go and rain Hell Fire down on Lilith and anyone who dared try stop him. However, that would cause more problems for them.

This called for a family meeting. Well, once Charlie was able to calm down and get things in order on her end. As much as he wanted to go and comfort her, she made it clear that she didn't want to be coddled at the moment. So, he did his best to reassure her that she didn't fail anyone. That no matter what, Lilith would have made that decision. Lucifer had somehow convinced her to hold a meeting in a couple months at her hotel about its future and her plans for redemption.

In the meantime, they had their own meeting to set up there at the palace. It would take place in a couple days and hopefully by then Charlie would be feeling better enough to attended. If not, they weren't going to pressure her to join in.

"Hey. Hey, it's okay angel." Setting his hands lightly on Lucifer's shoulders, Adam stopped his pacing. No need for his omega to start spiraling. "We're going to figure this out. No need to get so worked up over it. However, we might need to start thinking about other heirs to throne if this is going to go the way I think it is."

"You don't mean just from us two, do you?" Adam's silence was all he needed. Sighing in frustration, Lucifer knew he was right. They would need to set things up for if the worst should happen. That includes new heirs for Charlie to pick from if she decides she does not want the throne. And if the worst didn't happen, they would have a bigger family. It was a win win if you asked him. 

More children for him to love and raise and the possibility of grandkids to love and spoil. Now then, who should he and Adam choose to help make future heirs to Hell's Throne? Lucifer had a few choices for himself to run by his loving husband.

"I know that look on your face. You have some ideas already, don't you?"

"You know me so well, love!" Smiling, Lucifer sat his husband down on the bed before climbing into his lap. Running fingers through his short, dark hair, he peppered his face with kisses. "You should start thinking about who you wish to help also. But for now, let your mind be on only me." 

~

"What's got Charlie so spun up?"

"I don't know. But she's been like this since she came back from her meetings." It was starting to really worry Vaggie.

"Okay. I can do this. I can- I can't do this! Alastor, please come with me to this meeting." She was freaking out. She was the Princess of Hell, heir to the throne, and couldn't handle a simple family meeting. Mostly because of the subject matter. The fact that she failed them all was going to be discussed at length and Alastor was the only one here who knew the stress on her shoulders.

"Of course, my dear! I'd more than happy to accompany you. However, you should probably tell the others about what is going on. Especially, your partner."

"Charlie. What's going on?"

"Vaggie..." Going over to her wonderful, loving, supportive girlfriend, Charlie took her hands in her own. "I promise I'll explain everything when we get back. I feel so horrible keeping this secret from you. I've been waiting for the right time to tell you."

Surprised, the delta girl gave her alpha partner a kiss on the cheek with her best soft smile. No matter how uneasy she felt. "Don't worry. We all have our secrets. I... I need to tell you some of mine too." 

Eyes sparkling, Charlie hugged her girlfriend with a happy squeal. "Communication! I was afraid we were falling apart on that part of our relationship. I'm so so so happy we can still feel like we don't have to hide anything and feel guilty when we don't share right away!"

"Charolette. We're going to be late."

"Oh fuck!"

💛 Yellow

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

💛 Yellow: Do you ever alter, highlight, or de-emphasize certain canonical traits in a character? If so, why and describe how.

Since you didn't send a specific character and I already did Valtor, I'll go ahead with Griffin. I intensify pretty much every part of her character if we're being honest. But let's look at the main things:

I'm of the opinion that they made her too nice post 1x17. It almost feels like she's a different character afterwards. The only time we see her doing some truly questionable shit is when she kind of used the Winx as bait for the Trix in 2x18 (which the RAI dub tries to deny but that is pretty much what happened). I think she should be allowed to be ruthless and scathing but she'd have to be a force that the plot has to take into account for that to happen in canon so I see why they didn't really do it (though it was somehow okay for her to almost kill the Winx in 1x06). So fics will have to do. I try to show that she's calculative, kind of always scheming or at least analyzing a situation to figure out what the other party wants from her (the exception being most of her interactions with Faragonda because I don't think she'd feel the need to be on guard around her outside the periods of time when they're basically enemies).

I definitely lean very firmly into her familiarity with Valtor, which I think was absolutely something they should have done on the show. Forget shipping but the fact is that she worked with him and he himself - even after she betrayed him - speaks very highly of what they could do together. Showing the similarities between them and how well she knows him - even through a little dialogue with the Winx ffs if they didn't want to devote a lot of screen time to that - would have set up Valtor and his story better. But forget canon! I like to really make her specifically very familiar with his methods (when it comes to him, I don't think he'd know her that well anymore after his imprisonment in Omega but he could definitely read her very well before). I try to show that by making her have a pretty easy time figuring out what he's planning and seeing through his words.

Since she was hinted to show remorse and guilt over the situation with the Trix, I can't imagine her existing without some kind of leftover guilt for her actions in the past as well. Especially when she's faced with Valtor and her former partnership with him. This I don't really begrudge canon for ignoring (they did imply she felt guilty for working with him) since it's been 17 years and Griffin is bound to try to repress that shit when Valtor is around and would have a field day poking her about it. And in general, she'd probably try to keep it locked down as much as possible. Seeing her fail a little would have been nice but this is a lot more pertinent to the CoL era so I'm not complaining too much that they didn't do anything with that in the show. It is somewhat a cornerstone of my fics though because they focus on her almost exclusively (not to mention that it also annoys Valtor).

Notes And Extras: A Gilded Rose Left In Your Stead Part One

Notes:

Alright let's all say the real reason I wrote this fic together:

~Make Everyone Angrier At What You Aren't Allowed To Want Kaz!~

That's right!

Jokey jokes aside, this truly is a companion to that fic. I will be pointing out the ways they're intertwined as we go.

Night Walks:

I figured out how to add spaces for better readability! They're just gonna be kinda Randomly Spaced throughout. Sorry if it gets annoying but I need them to keep this shit straight

Said it before and I'll say it again "Ghezen's grand ledgers" is my stand in for "jesus, mary, and joseph!"

Wylan's agenda book! Time for a different fic detour! If you remember this detail from What You Aren't Allowed To Want (that shit is about to get fuckin' acronym'd) you should also know that it was something Kaz specifically remembered in relation to the notes Jesper left in it for himself about how he'd take care of Wylan during his summer heat ("mini icebox?" "Icecream?" that one) Kaz goes through the memory in his mind but does not comment on it and instead very jarringly Moves On from it. In that moment he wants someone to care enough to plan ahead to take care of him and this is before his heat hits and Really messes his head up.

"There is always something rotten in him right before his heat" "He would be awful to them in this state, agitated and sensitive as he is in the aftermath, but being alone feels like a dark hole in the center of his chest." Kaz doesn't know much about being an omega. He knows that the agitation is a part of it, though. He was there for Wylan's. He's Infuriating. (Holding himself to a higher standard due to So Much internalized nonsense and self-loathing.)

Wylan being told he's a "half-assed runner" because the agitating thing Agitates Him when he spends most of his heat Dead Asleep is still very silly to me. Its the most fourteen year old medical information telephone horseshit.

"I can't tell if she's making fun of me or genuinely thinks we're friends" is also the most fourteen year old horseshit

Count how many time Char associates the Van Eck siblings with purple! It wasn't on purpose after the first time in You Can Always Fall Lower!

Oh right I kept talking about Alys. Listen, I Adore Pretty Alys Van Eck like genuinely and completely I love Canon Alys Van Eck (in very much the same way that I love Taryn Duarte but no one should have that conversation with me I Get Vicious)

I feel like this is important. I pronounce Plumje as "Plume-ay." Do not care if it's right, just think it sounds pretty.

This woman regularly leaves her child with the people who, and I cannot emphasize it enough, Did Kidnap Her. That's mentioned at the end of you can always fall lower. They Did Do That.

"Greatly perceptive or blessedly airheaded" indeed.

Kaz sent them an itemized and alphabetized List of all the ways a nanny could kill an infant. It was addressed to Adem so as not to traumatize his sister in law...but it was Thorough. Wylan learned about it at the next holiday family dinner and Kaz did get an Earful about it.

Council Meeting:

My favorite little headcanon is that church services in Kerch are on Monday before work hours because it's the first day of the business week.

Wylan is Just Barely getting away with being a councilman while his whole pack are members of a Known Barrel Gang. If he wasn't an omega and couldn't hand wave it away as a "business opportunity and chance to clean up the barrel from the inside by introducing them to pious quality lifestyles" that his father arranged (no one wants to talk about jan van eck so like he didn't really even need Reasoning bit there) someone would've kicked up a Fuss

(hi if y'didn't know I write political intrigue and royalty au's about as much as I write omegaverse au's. I know it probably wasn't obvious from like the Five Pages of government rambling during this scene /s)

Oh it would be so funny if Kaz went to that church. Too bad it is Wylan's Worst Nightmare.

Is Kaz right to be worried about Plumje taking over for Wylan by force from a political perspective? Yes. Should he have told people that he was scheming against an eight month old? No!

Kaz is terrible at cooking. He's too impatient and he cares more about what big plans he's got going on in his head than making sure he's like Paying Attention while he cooks. Also, he would've avoided learning in the Dregs because it would be a less of an "alpha" skill.

Kaz's Secret:

Maybe, someday, Kaz will stop preparing for the worst every time he passes other barrel gang lieutenants and leaders in the street. When that day comes, when he stops planning how he would escape from each and every scenario he's been forced to bear witness to, when he doesn't count the hours since Wylan left his sight and unconsciously begin comparing them to other times he's gone to run errands, or go for a walk, to see if maybe its been too long; maybe on that day he'll tell them.

I will tell you that Inej wasn't lying to Wylan. She doesn't know much more than he does. She's figured out that Per Haskell was doing something to keep Kaz in line that was awful, she just hasn't figured out what.

Alys' Visit:

They have a signal for when Alys is visiting.

Nina was the one who put the ribbon in the window.

If Wylan asks they say it's because of Kaz and his secret!omega thing...but its really so all of them know to avoid the drawing room cause that's usually where she is.

Wylan definitely Noticed that all of his partners were avoiding his sister and didn't want her to notice that little fuckin' detail as well. Kaz is the one who got scolded into speaking with her because the pack alpha should greet the guests in his home shouldn't he, Kaz?

Now, did I rearrange the Entire Timeline and age everyone up by a Year (happy birthday) so that I could have this scene where Plumje was Specifically eight months old? Perhaps! But you're forgetting one very important detail!

When I was writing this scene my niece was eight months old.

It was so mean that Wylan picked Kaz to be the one to talk to her she is Terrified of that man.

"I trust Wylan enough to leave the room...but not to like Not Eavesdrop Outside The Door" Kaz Brekker everybody

Breakfast Date!:

Shout out to my partner for always helping me when I shout, "FUCK! WHAT'S THE KERCH WORD FOR FUCKIN COP?" at them.

"Nina smiles, 'Ugh, don’t you dare tell him or his head will pop.'" and "Nina night just pop if he inflates her ego any further." from WYAATW...these two Adore each other.

Market Date!:

This feels like a good time to point out: In general, we see a lot more acceptance of the fluctuations in his emotions that Wylan is feeling in the week before than we do with Kaz. Obviously, that makes sense, but I just kept thinking about how much Kaz would actually let show if he was ever comfortable enough to share a heat with his pack. We know he's experiencing these similar fluctuations, but would he still hide them even if he wasn't trying to hide his heat coming up in general?

Precious was one of the little kerch nicknames I thought up and then couldn't figure out which crow it applied best to so...the little wolf plush is Fjerdan Precious.

Kaz knows better than to make them feel watched. He knew Inej would be mad if she noticed he had them followed and still did it anyway because he is that worried.

Having the silent woman stomp out of anger was satisfying thank you so much for asking.

And we will end it there! I will have part two out tomorrow (for real this time)

[quietbluejay]

Spotlight: Doubledealer

on to part 3 of Revelations (sorry for missing yesterday. Arm problems)

yes, i too would like to know

what really happened to the first Ark?

why do Cyclonus and those guys have a touch that is literal Death

what do they want? how many more out there? what IS the Benzuli Expanse anyways?

so many questions and no answers

(Double)dealer: which is why we need the Magnificence

um wait okay so hot rod is on earth, looking for sunstreaker told hardhead "yeah tell optimus you couldn't catch up" and now dealer tracked him down

theres a crashed headmaster sunstreaker next to them, Dealer is confused

Hot Rod's just like, it's a dead end

he's not closer to finding Sunstreaker

Dealer: ahem

Dealer: Seems you need the Magnificence too

friend:

Dealer: can i offer you a nice Orb in this trying time

Hot Rod talks about how it's all coming full circle - him, Dealer, and the Magnificence again!

Dealer puts one hand on Hot Rod's arm

Dealer: and hey, look, if you can't trust me

Dealer, narrating: show one face to the world

dealer narrating: let no one in

let no one in, let no one see, be the good con you always have to be~

friend: Dealer is starting to remind me of some of the Werewolf games where the werewolf wasn't being very subtle but still won because all but 1 or 2 people failed their perception roll

Hot Rod says he'll take Dealer

Dealer talks about how this could be the solution to all their problems

"Not so fast…"

...Skywarp?

apparently not

Straxus tells Grindcore (the...truck?) to mind his own business and concentrate on getting the spacebridge running

they also grumble about their strict timetable

also, I would like to note, in this universe, Grindcore is also the name of a notorious Decepticon prison

they're more Dead Universe guys, they talk a bit about their eeeevil plan to bleed through into this universe, but they require lots of energon

luckily Earth has a lot, courtesy of Shockwave...

who was Jhiaxus' student

Cyclonus calls dibs on a passing spaceship. No, literally, he says "dibs on this one"

"and get me Jetfire!"

"I have a feeling we're going to need all the protection we can get"

security guys order him to stay where he is or they'll put him down

Nova just calls them pitiful and disintegrates them

honestly that panel of nova's feet is cool very ominous

Fort Max starts calling for reinforcements but Optimus tells him not to

conventional force isn't going to work here

Optimus: our destinies - his and mine - are intertwined, our fates...

Optimus: ...inseparable

look optimus just because you guys matched once on cybertronian bumble

and now we cut over to Gorlam Prime

Jhiaxus: I give you death on a massive scale and rebirth...all in the same tumultuous instant! A new universe...

Jhiaxus: a better universe!

Dealer hastily recovers and says that he's just surprised

He thinks to himself that he's gotta be careful here

dealer: the omega bunker

dealer internally: but why? also how the heck did these guys get here this fast i don't know why i keep expecting characters to move at speeds other than the speed of plot at this point you'd think i'd know better by now

Dealer wonders if Hot Rod suspects at all

ever since they came back here, he's (Dealer, not Hot Rod) been on edge, almost…guilty?

"surely it's a bit late in the day for that"

time to go into a giant hole in the ground. there's a lot of that going around recently

Dealer thinks about the other guys on their OG mission here

and how he killed them all

to make sure the Magnificence would be his

except, Hot Rod never came up where Dealer expected him to

meanwhile Hot Rod is thinking

about how it all doesn't add up, he still can't figure out how it went wrong

Dealer: Hot Rod…it isn't your fault

Dealer narrating: I put on my game face

(this is what Getaway should have been)

Hot Rod: thanks, Dealer

Dealer narrating: it's a talent

Dealer, narrating: in the end, they mean nothing to me

Hot Rod: this way…it's not far

Dealer, narrating: war is just a means to an end, faction for fools, friendship artifice

Dealer: a momentary lapse

Dealer: easily dealt with

and now over to the Technobots who are en route to the Benzuli expanse. Their best ETA is 6 cycles

I'm gonna tldr, they gotta get there soon or it might be too late for Cloudburst and the other, but rushing it is also bad

these are the pretender suits that Thunderwing was using

Jetfire tells Cloudburst, and then starts thinking about how Bludgeon was controlling Thunderwing. Perhaps...

"…we've been going about this the wrong way…"

meanwhile the wreckers are still fighting thunderwing

Over to Garrus-9, Optimus has gone to confront Nova

Optimus: it doesn't have to be this way, Nova

this whole confrontation is very cliche but it's fun cliche

Optimus: I sense…something coiled and venomous where there should be light and hope. What happened to you?

Nemesis: only what I wished to happen

awwww yisss kirby dots but also owo new matrix lore

Nemesis: has no limits!

he zaps Optimus with it

he talks about how it's the opposite of their creation force and it found him in the Dead Universe

and it will grant him dominion over everything that survives the fusion

back to Hot Rod and Dealer

Hot Rod starts climbing

Hot Rod: c'mon

Dealer narrating: I think about ending it here and now, but can't help wondering if this is just more smoke and mirrors

Dealer: and if it's me whose being played

as they climb, Hot Rod picks over what happened in the original mission

including why did they take Dealer prisoner but kill Backbeat, how did they find out about it and were ready, etc

so many questions...

his face here is great

hot rod vanishes into the clouds

Hot Rod's voice: and no answers

Dealer: Hot Rod?

Dealer:…Hot Rod?

love the gesture lmao

Dealer: ask it something, Hot Rod. Anything

Hot Rod turns around and picks it up

Hot Rod: sure, why not?

Dealer aims a gun at his turned back

Dealer thinks about how it could make him…omnipotent

Dealer's hand tightens on his gun

Hot Rod: um, let's see now…

Dealer narrating: be an island

he's flashing back to working with Hot Rod

Dealer: let no one in

Hot Rod immediately turns and fires his guns at Dealer

Dealer plummets down the mountain screaming and then hits the bottom and breaks apart into small pieces rip dealer he should have listened to his intuition

Hot Rod: take emotion out of the equation…and the answer was staring me in the face the whole time

and now, cut over to Ultra Magnus

yay the mcguffin is telling us everything

Hot Rod is talking here btw

bwuh? how'd jhiaxus do that to sixshot no, seriously how'd he do that to sixshot??? at which point i remember that the last time we saw sixshot he was lying unconscious next to Galvatron I guess Galvatron grabbed him???

"…is the weak link!"

meanwhile Jetfire is on a videocall with Springer

he tells Springer he's going to try and override the control on Thunderwing

but they're going to have to move fast when he does because he doesn't know how long it'll work

"Arise…Bludgeon!"

bludgeon is now here! and that's it for spotlight dealer! next up spotlight sideswipe and the end of Revelations!

Part 22 of Discovering Safety

Jason is sitting in his office working out the details for a new project. This time he will be assisting the Gotham General Hospital in updating the pediatric ward, the one that had been named after Martha Wayne. The relatively small project was Jason’s way of getting back to work without worrying Bruce, seeing as the man didn’t want him to overwork himself after his harrowing experience. He had been working for a few hours that day when his office phone began ringing. 

“Hello-” He begins before being interrupted by Dick.

“Jason, hey I was wondering if you’re busy.” The alpha rushes the sentence out before following up with “I was hoping I could take you to lunch.

That’s how half an hour later Jason finds himself having lunch at a dinner a few blocks from the office, with Dick asking him about his latest project. As they eat Jason can tell the other has something on his mind, because although he’s attentive he is also practically bouncing in his seat from excitement.

“Do you want to tell me what’s got you so excited?” he asks.

“I do, actually. I’ve been looking for a new place to live for a while and today I finally bought one. I’m planning on moving out this weekend, and will hopefully have the place furnished by Monday.”

It’s not what Jason is expecting at all, and he doesn’t know what to say, much less how he feels. Over the last two month they had been dating, and as winter grew nearer he felt sure that by next year they would be mated. It felt wrong for Dick to make  a big decision without consulting him, and yet the other man didn’t technically need his permission. He wasn’t sure where that left them, but figured it’d be better to ask for more details, including Dick’s motives for moving out.

“That’s great, but what brought this on? You never mentioned any plans to move before.”

“Oh, I guess I haven’t talked with you about it. It’s simple really, since I was 18 I lived on my own. I’d really gotten used to making my own rules and doing my own thing. When I moved back I wasn’t sure where I was going next so I didn’t want to waste the money on an apartment in the city when I had a room waiting for me. But I think it's time for me to leave the nest again, and once I saw the offer on this place I just knew it was perfect for me.”

As Dick spoke Jason became increasingly more upset. It was clear to him that Dick didn’t see them having a future together any time soon. The alpha kept saying how he wanted things to be for himself. He didn’t mention Jason in his plans at all, not even hinting that Jason could maybe live in this home of his one day.

Jason wouldn’t say he feels entitled to such a privilege, but he does worry that they want very different things from their relationship. Jason knows Dick’s been in relationships before, but he hadn’t thought to ask if theirs was different, if Dick wanted to try for something permanent with him.

❋✱❋✱❋✱❋

Dick feels elated as he tells Jason about his plans. He had wondered if he should wait to buy the place so that Jason could see it for himself first, but then he’d worried that it would be bought by someone else if he didn’t act quickly. After buying the two-story house he felt like he was one step closer to a future with Jason. Before he can begin to feel too excited about it though Jason’s sour apple scent reaches him and he pauses. 

“I don’t think we want the same things from this relationship Dick,” Jason begins and as the words reach his ears he feels his heart plummet. “I think we should end things here before someone gets hurt.” Jason says as he stands and leaves, throwing a few bills on the table to cover his part of the meal. Dick doesn’t get a chance to respond as the omegas rushes out of the dinner.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After re-reading this I can't help but scream at my screen asking why. Past me really didn't need to tear them apart like that.

Update next week as per the usual schedule,

<3J

[disdaidal]

can you tell us about the omega!billy ideas you have? i'm also very fond of the concept <33 i love when billy is suffering even more than usual -myriadof-fandoms

Aww thanks for asking me. ♥ And suffering Billy can be just something so... personal. Why do we enjoy torturing him so much? I don't know. But I can't get enough of it. 🤧

Anyway... I think I posted a little snippet of it last year (as a response to some writing tag game) and in that particular idea Billy's the usual 'secretly omega but pretending to be alpha/beta'. And Tommy and Steve are his best friends but they don't know about Billy's true identity yet because he's using scent blockers etc.

So this one school day Billy gets upset during a biology class (the topic that particularly upset him was regarding omegas of course but he wouldn't admit it), and Tommy and Steve wanna cheer him up so they invite him to Tommy's place for drinks/weed and some movies. And Billy knows it's a terrible idea because his heat is fast approaching and he should be at home getting ready for it; definitely not hanging around with two alphas (or alpha/beta, haven't decided yet). But he's angry, not thinking clearly, and feeling a little bold, a little rebellious, so he says fuck it and goes with them.

(also these ideas got way longer than they were supposed to so hiding them under the cut):

Naturally, Tommy's idea of a movie night is watching porn together while getting high/drunk = a jerk off contest, yay. Tommy and Steve are definitely getting into it, and Billy... well, he plays along. Billy thinks it's fucking stupid and risky but he's also competitive you know? And maybe they've fooled around before (just not mentioning it after), and so Tommy and Steve - one of them or both of them because they obviously both have a crush on Billy - want to get down on him, and Billy lets them but he's also really nervous because he knows that he's playing with fire here.

So his heat doesn't (miraculously) start right there that night, but then he stays over and falls asleep on Tommy's bed, being spooned and cradled by both of them. And when Billy wakes up, he feels awfully feverish and slick between his legs and he starts to panic. Especially when Steve starts to slowly stir awake as well, sniffing the air and sleepily mouthing against Billy's neck.

Billy gets off bed upon realizing that his heat has started and that the other boys will soon start to notice it, so he quickly excuses himself and drives back home as fast as he can. He lives alone, so no parents (especially shitty parents) to make him feel even worse about his condition as he quickly starts undressing and building a comfy nest on his bed.

He doesn't show up at school for the next two or three days and won't answer his phone because he's plugged it off the wall. Steve and Tommy start getting worried - Steve especially because he could smell something different that morning and his alpha senses got stronger, but he just couldn't tell for sure why. And they both finally decide to skip school and drive to Billy's place.

Billy lives on the second floor, and they first try ringing his doorbell downstairs but get no answer. Since Steve's good at climbing windows (heh), he's obviously going to do that here, too. And when he finally reaches Billy's bedroom window and peeks through it... well, he figures out a thing or two. :'D And I still haven't decided yet if both Steve and Tommy are gonna help Billy with his "little problem" or just Steve, but one thing is for sure: none of them are gonna ridicule Billy for being an omega (they're just a little surprised/shocked), and he's gonna be fed and taken good care of afterward, just like he deserves. <3 So I'm not actually gonna put him through hell this time - I'm just gonna make him suffer a little, heh.

But the other idea I had (I guess this was my original idea) was this kind of a... fantasy/medieval setting I guess? Where Steve's an actual king, a prime Alpha who rules an entire kingdom. So there's this backstory that he used to be a real dick when he was younger - a spoiled prince who became a king - and didn't always make the best decisions for his people let alone rule fairly, so he has definitely made enemies in the past (what king hasn't?) - and there's a group of rebels that keep causing him and his army trouble all the time.

So let's just say that Billy comes from a poor family and he's a male omega on top of that. And in this universe, male omegas are not just extremely rare, but they also often end up as prostitutes or worse because there's this tale among his people that omegas are born out of a curse, not as a sign of blessing. So in my mind, Billy's this poor guy, poor omega fella who lives with his stepsister Max and stepmother Susan who had his father murdered because he kept hurting his own son, and Susan could no longer take that.

So Susan is now trying to look after them but she's poor and her job at the market isn't bringing them much food or money at home, so Billy has to do something about it. He doesn't want to prostitute himself (and the herbs/potions he takes to mask his natural scent cost them, too) so they need money and protection, and Billy decides to join the rebels because the army won't hire him (he gets laughed at and spat on because he's poor). So having joined the rebels, he gets paid some at least and on top of that, he gets to fight for something good, too - which is a fight against the cruel king who's made their everyday lives a living hell.

So one night, during a particularly vicious attack against the king's castle, Billy finally gets captured and thrown in jail with the other rebels who survived the battle and tried to escape. He spends time in jail for days, without proper food or herbs/potions to mask his natural omega scent, and others are starting to take notice. The guards are mocking him and making obscene gestures and comment at him, and Billy has never felt so vulnerable and scared in his entire life - not even when his father was still alive and beat him up.

Max has somehow managed to talk her way into the king's castle (she can be very persuasive) and she begs King Steve to let Billy go because 'my brother has this... special condition, he could get really sick'. King Steve won't release Billy no matter how much Max begs him, but he reluctantly agrees to go down into the dungeons to actually see what the fuss is all about. The guards have drug Billy by force and struggle to keep him still because Billy might be an omega but he's still strong. When Billy finally stands in front of King Steve, snarls and tries to spit at him while the guards hold him still and punch him... King Steve's dark eyes are dilated and his blood feels hot in his veins. Billy's scent, now fully unmasked; vivid and intoxicating. Billy's not just one of the most beautiful men that Steve's ever laid his eyes on: he also happens to be a male omega who are supposed to be extra rare - even a complete myth, they say.

So naturally, once King Steve has laid his eyes on this unique specimen, he's absolutely enchanted by Billy's beauty and his strong spirit, and releases him from the dungeons. However, Billy isn't free to walk away from the castle - he must now serve King Steve as his personal assistant and advisor. Billy's given his own room and a soft, warm bed to sleep in, and the best healers and alchemists in the entire kingdom, to help him with his 'rare condition' - also that King Steve wouldn't be 'tempted' when he's around (he absolutely is but that's beside the point). And Billy gets to socialize with other omegas in the castle to avoid being too lonely (albeit Billy still feels lonely because he's still the only male omega around; nobody can truly understand him and 'his curse').

And well, let's just say that Billy's hate for the king slowly begins to dissipate over time as he realizes that Steve isn't all that cruel and evil as the stories tell. And while Billy's still a prisoner in the castle because he's committed a crime, at least he isn't down in the dungeons, and King Steve allows Max and Susan to visit him as well (Billy thinks about them all the time and worries for them).

Whether King Steve finally lets Billy go after Billy's served his time in his castle and then Billy returns to him, asking if he could come back and bring his family along, too. Or that Billy stays there willingly because he's fallen in love with the king and vice versa (Max and Susan moving in later)... I haven't decided yet. D:

It's kind of a twisted story (maybe a little akin to Beauty and the Beast), with an A/B/O + soulmates twist, and I've been feeling nervous about it even starting it, 'cause. I don't know. It's a heavy story to write I guess. :D But I still keep thinking about it every once in a while.

[animeomegas]

Imagine that Sasuke is having problems with his 'future alpha', he doesn't understand some dating methods and ends up 'reluctantly' going to ask Itachi's alpha.He just blushed saying 'I can't believe I'm doing this but I need some advice'.Itachi's alpha comes home late looking happy and Itachi holding his dog asking where he's been.

Anon: I think Sasuke would only start liking Itachi's alpha after they help him stand up to a bigger, stronger, more trained betas and/or Alphas. Because I don't see him as someone who might ask for help from anyone, and his brother's alpha somehow saw them bully him and push him around, so they tell him how to one up those annoying people. (Maybe buy him ice cream or something after). This young Sasuke vs Itachi's alpha thing should be a show, because I'd sell everything I own to watch it.

(Anon 1: This is a big brain idea, anon, thank you for your service 🤭 I changed it a little, how that's okay!)

(Anon 2: I think you're absolutely right that Itachi's alpha does something big for Sasuke when he's at a low point, and it ends up changing their relationship for the better in a lot of ways. I decided not to go with bullying though, because Sasuke seemed to fit this scenario moreso. Also, ahhh, I'm so happy you're liking this mini series!!!!! I'm having so much fun writing it and it fills me with joy that other people are enjoying it just as much!!!)

...

Okay, so, Sasuke has never been the most intuitive when it comes to emotions. And he’s also never been great at acknowledging or learning about culture surround a/b/o dynamics because he’s always been adamant that he doesn’t care for it or need it.

But now Sasuke is starting to think that may have been a mistake. Because things are going wrong with this whole courting situation (that Sasuke still can’t believe is happening to him.)

Things were fine! But now the alpha courting him is getting colder and not wanting to train as much, and Sasuke doesn’t know what’s changed! He’s angry and upset about it.

He’s been brooding for about a week about the whole situation, but now he’s decided to ask someone for advice.

His friends are useless. His mother just laughed and told him it would work out if it was supposed to. Shisui is on a mission. He’d rather die than ask Kakashi sensei. So, unfortunately, he had to ask his brother, even though he was sure to get some embarrassing and invasive questioning from him. The sadist.

So, he goes to see his brother.

Who isn’t there.

His brother’s alpha tells him that Itachi is out with their pup all day running errands and taking him for his bi yearly check-ups. But Sasuke needs to know what’s going wrong and how to fix this now! He doesn't have time to wait for Itachi to be done with his stupid errands!

His brother’s alpha notices how tense he is and asks if he would like to stay for some tea, and Sasuke accepts before he thinks about what he's doing. Their relationship is much better nowadays but Sasuke can’t help but feel a little awkward around them still.

…

“Here,” they say, sliding two teacups onto the table. “You like green tea, right? It’s the only type we have in, you know what Itachi’s like with tea.”

“Green tea is fine,” Sasuke says politely if a little stiff.

His brother’s alpha sits down at the other side of the couch with their own tea, and the two sit in silence for a bit, each sipping their own tea

“Sasuke,” they say, shooting him a concerned look. “If you need me to go and get Itachi, I can. You don’t look well, he’ll come back in an instant if you ask him to.”

“No,” Sasuke answers quickly. “It’s fine… I…”

Here goes nothing.

“I’m just having a bit of trouble at the moments, is all, and…”

Itachi’s alpha nods, obviously listening intently with a look of concern on his face that is making this both harder and easier for Sasuke at the same time.

“Go on, Sasuke, I’m listening.”

“I’m sure Itachi told you about my… my er situation,” Sasuke starts, wishing he could punch himself in the face for phrasing it like that.

“That someone’s courting you?” they ask gently.

Sasuke only nods, face burning. He can’t count the number of times he’s told Itachi’s alpha to their face that he’d rather die than enter a courtship. This is so awkward, why is he doing this?

“Did they do something to make you uncomfortable, Sasuke?” they ask immediately after seeing his hesitance. “Because if they did, we can sort it out together okay? It’s not your fault.”

“No!” Sasuke immediately protests far louder than he intended too. “They didn’t… They didn’t do anything, I just… I think I did something wrong…”

Sasuke pretends to drink his tea to avoid having to elaborate any more, despite the fact that it’s still too hot.

“What did you do that was wrong?” they ask, voice still quiet and soothing and Sasuke hates how comforting he finds it. Like it or not, his instincts had branded Itachi’s alpha as ‘safe’ many years ago.

“I don’t know,” Sasuke admits, fiddling with the rim of his cup. “They seemed sad one day and I just thought they had a bad day or something, but now they’re… cold.”

“They aren’t behaving how they were behaving before?”

Sasuke shakes his head.

“Is it possible they have an issue at home or with some of their friends? It might be something in their personal life that's upsetting them.”

Sasuke shakes his head again.

“They seem fine when they’re with everyone else…” he admits. “It’s just me.”

Sasuke forces back the burn of tears he can feel behind his eyes. He will not cry. He won’t do it.

His brother’s alpha hums sadly.

“And you want to figure out what happened?” Sasuke nods. “Okay, why don’t you walk me through what happened on the days leading up to the mood change.”

And so Sasuke does.

He tells them all about how they would meet for training every day and Sasuke would bring two bento boxes for lunch, and then they would sometimes go shopping or go out to eat. Things he hasn’t told anyone about yet. And as he's talking, he really can't see what the problem is, everything seems fine! But maybe Itachi’s alpha might know some alpha thing that he doesn't. Sasuke can easily admit that it’s not his forte.

“I see,” Itachi’s alpha says after Sasuke had finished his story. Sasuke’s tea sits cold on the table next to his brother’s mate’s empty cup. “I think I know what happened.”

Sasuke looks up immediately. No way they’ve already figured it out that easily!

“They thought you were rejecting them,” Itachi’s alpha says simply.

“Wha- But…we spent everyday together! How could that be a rejection?!”

“When an alpha is courting an omega,” they start to explain. “They’re trying as hard as they can to prove to that omega that they can be a good mate.”

“I know that,” Sasuke snaps.

“Listen to me for a second, Sasuke," they softly reprimand. "So, when an alpha, particularly a younger one, is courting an omega, they are very sensitive to rejection, they look for it everywhere.”

“Why?” Sasuke asks, dumbfounded.

“Well, when I was courting your brother, we weren’t that much older than you are now, and I remember thinking that he was the most perfect person in the whole world,” their eyes take on a faraway look as they reminisce. “I was so sure that he must have had hundreds of alphas clawing for his attention every day, and so I was desperate to prove to him that I could be a good mate.

“With every gift, on every date, I would watch his reaction to everything, overanalysing every laugh and smile and frown. I loved him so much, but I couldn’t help but think that he would reject me at any moment. He was too good for me, and I knew that. It always felt like he was humouring me, especially at first.”

“That’s stupid.”

“Yeah,” they laugh, unoffended by Sasuke’s harsh tone. “Looking back, I guess it was, but what I’m trying to tell you, is that I can see how some of your actions could have been taken as rejection by a young alpha who was expecting to be rejected.”

“But…” Sasuke says, looking lost. “I didn’t want to reject them, I don’t understand.”

“Here,” they continue patiently. “Let me explain it to you like this. When you went out to eat, you paid for yourself even though they offered, right? Because you didn't want to burden them?"

“Yeah,” Sasuke trails off, unsure what that has to do with anything.

“But to a young, hormonal alpha, you’re basically telling them that you don’t trust them to provide for you, the one thing they are trying most to convince you."

“But I wasn’t-“ Sasuke protests.

“I know you weren’t,” they reassure him. “But that’s the sort of thing that will run through an alpha’s head at that age when courting. Also, you told them you wanted to train with them because you thought they were strong because you wanted to compliment them, right?”

Sasuke blushes but nods.

“And that’s great to start with, but eventually they would probably start to wonder why you wouldn’t want to train just to spend time with them. And you also told them that you had plenty of leftovers to make their lunch with so that they wouldn’t feel like they were burdening you, right? But that just made them feel like you weren’t going out of your way to do something special for them, even though you were. Do you see what I mean now?”

Sasuke blinks, rapidly trying to wrap his head around all this new information.

“And I also have a guess as to what pushed them over the edge into thinking you were rejecting them.”

“What is it?” Sasuke demands. “Tell me.”

“Did they make that scarf for you by hand, Sasuke?”

“Yes,” says Sasuke hesitantly.

“And they scented it?”

Sasuke nods affirmative.

“Did you give anything back?”

“I… Just said thank you… is that not right?”

Itachi’s alpha shakes their head with a patient smile.

“A handmade and scented gift is the most important and meaningful courting gift that there is, Sasuke,” they explain. “It’s what you give to someone to ask them if they want to move from courting to something more serious, to intended mates.”

Sasuke blushes and feels some panic rising in his chest.

“I didn’t know!” he blurts, feeling the need to explain himself.

“I know,” they rush to reassure him. “But the etiquette dictates that the omega, if they wish to move onto that stage, gives the alpha a handmade and scented gift in return, no later than a week after the original gift was given. They must have been very nervous waiting for you, and very upset when you didn’t even let them down softly.”

“It’s been two weeks,” Sasuke whispers, mortified that he had missed something he should have known. This makes so much sense. The sudden depression, the awkwardness at training, the nerves after they had given him the scarf. He’s such an idiot. Against his will, Sasuke starts to feel tears burning at his eyes again. He messed everything up!

“Oh, Sasuke,” they say, scooting closer to him. They hesitantly lay a hand on his leg, and Sasuke makes no move to push them off. “It’s alright, you can fix it.”

“How?” he sniffs, furiously wiping away any tears that manage to escape. “They probably hate me now.”

“Come here,” they say, pulling him into a hug. And for the first time ever, Sasuke accepts a hug from his brother’s alpha.

“It’s alright,” they soothe. “We can fix this, I’ll help you.”

“What can I do?” he questions, feeling miserable.

“You need to make them something and scent it. Then you can explain what happened afterwards, but the gift should go a long way in smoothing over any ruffled feathers. I can help you make something, what do you want to make?”

Sasuke shrugs, still resting his head on his brother’s alpha’s shoulder.

“How about some cupcakes? Itachi and I were planning on doing some baking with the pup tomorrow, so I have all the supplies. And I’m sure we have some ribbon lying around, you can scent the ribbon and use it to tie up the box, how does that sound?”

“But what will you use tomorrow?” Sasuke asks, feeling a little better, but still red in the face.

“I can buy more, Sasuke, don’t worry, but this is a courting emergency, so we have to do it now, okay?”

“Okay.”

…

Itachi comes back from his errands just in time to watch his mate helping his little brother tie a ribbon around a box of cupcakes. The kitchen is covered in baking supplies and empty bowls of batter.

Did they bake cupcakes together?

Itachi can’t believe it. He had been trying to get them to get along better for years.

When Sasuke sees him standing in the door, he blushes and, holding the box of cupcakes to his chest, pushes past him and out the door with a quick nothing more than a quick and murmured greeting.

His pup wiggles in his arms and demands to be put down. He obliges and they immediately run to his alpha for a hug.

“Hey there, buddy, have a good day?”

“It was boring,” they complain. “And the mednin had cold fingers.”

Itachi’s alpha laughs.

“Well, I know something that might make you feel better,” they tease.

“What?! What?!”

“Uncle Sasuke made you something very special,” they say, bringing down a spare cupcake from on top of the counter, iced in his pup's favourite colour. The way his pup’s eyes widen at the sight of it, makes Itachi smile. “You can have it after dinner, okay, and next time we see uncle Sasuke we have to remember to say thank you.”

Itachi watches in amusement as his pup nods furiously and immediately runs off to go wash up for dinner, despite the fact that Itachi hasn’t even started cooking it yet.

“Did you and Sasuke bake together?” Itachi asks, still unbelieving of what he had seen.

You smile, understanding how crazy that must have been for Itachi to walk in on.

“Yes, we… had a little bonding session,” they say. “I’ll tell you about it later, I promise.”

Itachi accepts the answer despite his curiosity and joins his alpha is cleaning the kitchen so that he can start cooking dinner.

And if both of them were smiling too much, well, neither of them brought it up.
