girls gays and theys im gonna call it now just to save us the heartache: i dont think shadowgast is happening

[sociallyawkwardfoxwriter]

Widofjord BeauYasha Teenwolf Au: Beau is playing The Last of Us and can't help but point out how much Yasha sounds like Ellie, and Caleb can't help but be reminded of a nightmare he once had while cuddling with Fjord on the couch while Fjord freaks out over the zombie like infected and how creepily they move.

Yasha secretly voiced Ellie in the Teen Wolf AU confirmed. 

Enjoy!

"Fuck!" Somehow, the arms around him tightened to drag him further into Fjord's chest like he was nothing more than a teddy bear for him to cuddle. "Kill it, kill it, kill it!"

Beau cackled as she slowly crept past the clicker jerking and clicking on the screen. "What are you so worried about, Fjord? It can't see me."

"These are the worst. I hate them. Why did you have to play this now?"

"Yasha was busying today and she didn't believe me when I said Ellie sounded like her."

"You've proved your point. Can't you play something nice now? Like Shovel Knight or one of those Lego games. Anything that's not terrifying."

"I don't know what you're talking about. This is a nice, pleasant game. Aren't you enjoying the story?"

"What story? The one I've been screaming over this entire time!"

"It's not that scary. Right, Caleb?"

"Well," Fjord shoving his face into the side of his neck almost caused him to lose his train of thought. "I did have a weird nightmare after playing this game one time. Although, that might have been the cold medicine I was on. It was very strange."

"Were you eaten by a clicker?"

"No, I think I was on the run from someone and I had to sneak past a bunch of infected. I don't think I got caught."

"Dibs on you being my partner if we end up in a zombie apocalypse."

A strangled side against the side of his neck was quickly followed by Fjord moving an arm across his chest to pin him there. "You can't call dibs on Caleb! He's my partner!"

"He's your romantic partner, but that doesn't automatically mean he would want to be your partner in a zombie apocalypse scenario."

"What about Yasha? Are you going to leave her to fend for herself?"

"She'd be part of our group, but Yasha always does patrol alone. She likes the quiet."

"But you would leave me to fend for myself?"

"You're an alpha! You'll be fine."

"Does it sound like I'll be fine?"

With a roll of his eyes, Caleb gently rubbed at Fjord's arm, then turned to press a kiss to the underside of his jaw. "There is no zombie apocalypse. You are fine, Fjord."

"But if there were!"

"Why don't we head to bed early? I brought my Switch. We can play Stardew until we fall asleep."

"Yeah, okay." After a moment longer, Fjord finally released his crushing hold, so he could pick Caleb up instead. "If there were a zombie apocalypse, you would be my partner, right?"

"Ja, of course."

"You're the worst brother. I can't believe you're ditching me for Fjord."

"You have Yasha. You'll be fine in the ridiculous event that a zombie apocalypse happens."

"Whatever. Go be gross in your room."

"If you're in the same spot the next time you play, we'll know you fucked on the couch as soon as we left."

"Fuck off!"

"Don't die."

"I'm a pro at this. I'm not going to die."

"We both know that's a lie."

warm, unalone (come settle down) by Meridas (20811,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Molly & Yasha

Yasha and Molly, as queerplatonic partners, move to Zadash together.

Reccer says: It's so incredibly soft and such a wonderful take on these two. I adore the Circus Kids as QPPs and this series is in large part responsible for that. It's tender in all parts, the atmosphere feels as soft as a well-worn T-shirt.

heart of winter by venndaai (2779,Teen) Warnings: implied cannibalism, blood Pairings: Yasha & Molly

Yasha makes her own deal with Isharnai. Molly comes back wrong.

Reccer says: It's dark and bleak, but in a good way. An interesting look at the possible dark sides of resurrection magic and the things a desperate person will do to save their friends.

Loving Again by wanderstar (1312,General) Warnings: None Pairings: Kingsley & Yasha, Molly & Yasha

the mariner's hollo! by Beans_McGee (4341,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Mollymauk Tealeaf & Yasha Nydoorin

Yasha and M.T., before the Mighty Nein

Reccer says: I need so many stories about Yasha and Molly being friends, and this does both characters justice

patching up by Windward_wings (1664,Teen) Warnings: Discussions of past manipulation and abuse, unhealthy coping mechanisms Pairings: Caleb & Yasha

After the Nein's night at the Rexxentrum fighting pit, Caleb goes to find Yasha.

Reccer says: I love this take on their friendship - both are awkward, but also talking about their shared experiences with being manipulated

Inventory by Operafloozy (3862,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Essek & Yasha

It’s the day before Essek heads out to an expedition in the Savalirwood with Calliope and Reani. Yasha helps him sort out a few things.

speak of life and i will learn to cherish it by Ink_Beneath_Her_Fingernails (830,Not Rated) Warnings: None Pairings: Caleb & Yasha

Yasha listens to Caleb speak Celestial and feels things.

Reccer says: The idea that both Yasha and Caleb are speaking their second language (or might be, in Yasha's case) is rarely touched upon, and this is a sweet little bonding moment between the two of them

with the sun (i will rise) by lostinwriting23 (3765,General) Warnings: None Pairings: Background Beauyasha

Beau's been gone for a while. The solstice has happened and Yasha's not been able to reach any of the people she loves.
