#witch!milligan family

[wolfbearingroses]

I like the concept of gemma doing magic even though no one wants her to. Like hell yeah, become a mage, make your uncles life even more stressful.

So like, I perfectly understand why people don't like John having a mentee. He's a mess, better not have a kid get stuck in the chaos that is his life.

But at the same time, I think (before Milligan's run) they'd given her some really good trajectory to be an exception. Like, it wasn't John going "alright kiddo, he's how cool magic is", Gemma basically came into it on her own when he couldn't stop her, and became, in her words, not quite as big a bastard as John. In a way, it's wierdly fitting that what he'd see as one of his biggest mistakes was something he wasn't involved in but instead part of a legacy he left. But since at that point she was kind of stuck in it, (and already refused to stop once) he'd just have to be sure she doesn't end up like Gary Lester. They're the only family they have, and despite how much he'd beat himself up, John would stand by his niece.

But yeah, enough waxing lyricsl. If we do get Gemma back, I'd really like her to be more like an update on Carey's Gemma. Rather than having her denounce magic, having her go in deeper to overcome the pain. An upcoming witch in her own right, who does suffer for it, but isn't just John's sidekick. A prominent part of the Hellblazer mythos again without being part of the crowd. Just give the girl her mallet and nails back haha.

In the meantime, Si Spurrier's Damn Them All is basically telling the story of Gemma having her own adventure with different names (highly encourage people to read it if you liked his Hellblazer run btw). So clearly there's someone working in the industry who sees this potential. Maybe the next person to writer Hellblazer can take a leaf from his book.

Goodbye- Jack & Sam & Dean

"Excuse me? I- uh, I'd like an oil change for my car please."

Dean poked his head out and around the hood of the car he was working on. A young man was standing by the entrance of the garage with an old 67 chevy impala. He was wearing a worn out trench coat, probably a hand me down, to fight the chill of the fall air.

"Ya, sure. Head in side," he nodded his head to a side door, "my brother can sign you in."

"Of course, thank you."

The man stepped inside, and Dean returned to his current work.

Dean and Sam Singer had taken over the garage just outside of Sioux Falls, from their adopted father Bobby Singer. He'd taken them in after their parents died when Sam was just six months old. Now, Sam ran the books and paperwork while Dean did the handy work, occasionally helped by his brother.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Sam asked.

"My car needs an oil change."

"Sure, can I get your name and the make of the car?" Sam looked down at his laptop and began typing

"Jack Kline, and it's a 67 Chevy Impala."

"A classic, Dean'll love that. Would you like us to give it a check up too? Free of charge."

Jack thought it over for a second. "Yes please."

"Perfect, if you could just pay," Sam handed him a card machine, "then just leave me the keys and your phone number, I'll call you when it's done."

---

"What did I tell ya? They're fine, nothing to worry about," Claire laughed.

Her, Jack, and Alex were sitting together in a small dinner while the impala was out.

"It wasn't that I didn't believe you, I just needed to see for myself."

"So," Alex started, "I'm guessing you don't plan on taking her back?"

Jack shook his head, "No. She's where she belongs, I was just waiting for them to settle. I'll be returning to heaven after this, it's still quite rough but, it's getting better."

"No suprise there," Claire snorted, "I mean, they lost god, and the last two archangels within the span of a week. And no offense but, you don't exactly know what you're doing."

After Chuck's demise, well actually he was locked away, Michael and Lucifer retired. Michael was off living in a cabin somewhere with Adam Milligan, and Lucifer was who knows where. The only real help Jack had was from Amara, who had been locked away for centuries and liked destroying things, and Rowena, the current queen of hell and Jack was pretty sure she was starting a new witch coven.

"It's alright, I agree. I wish I had the Winchester's to help me, or anyone really."

"You know, I still don't get when you did it, wiped their memories I mean. Then you went and falsified their whole lives, seems like more effort than it's worth." Alex shrugged.

"They deserved it, to be happy. This way, the nightmares can be just nightmares, and they can go and have families without worrying about monsters."

"Look, I don't want to be a party pooper, but things don't work like that Jack. It's not right. I want them to be happy, as much as the next person, but the proper way would have been to get them therapy or something."

Alex snorted. "Ya, and where do you plan on finding a therapist for hunters." Both Jack and Claire looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Okay, as the only hunter therapist let me just say: I am in no way equipped for the shitstorm that is the Winchester's lives. I don't think anyone is."

After graduating high school, Alex had tried to leave the world of monsters behind. It hadn't worked, and so she found a way to embrace it while still being normal. She became a therapist, one that hunters could go to that wouldn't land them in a mental ward.

Claire had never really tried to be normal, and had moved into the men of letters bunker along with Eileen and a few others after Chuck was locked away. Garth had decided to make the bunker the American Hunter's HQ, and a permanent home for any hunter who wanted it. He was still acting as the new Bobby, and it didn't seem like he planned to stop anytime soon.

"So," Claire asked, breaking the silence, "is this it? The famed Winchester's are just gonna be some legend, Lucifer's son is gonna run heaven, an ex-vamp lure is playing hunter therapist, and I go back to hunting like everything's normal?"

"Unless you have any better ideas, ya," Alex said.

"Ugh," Claire groaned, propping her elbows up on the table and holding her head in her hands. "When did things get so hard? I wish I could just- go back to before I knew angels were real! Back when my dad made us say grace before every meal, and I hated it."

"If- If it would make you feel better, I cou-"

"No. No more memory wiping I can handle this."

Claire's eyes were glassy now, and she sniffled.

"Y'know, I used to wonder if they really deserved a happy ending. I mean sure, they've saved the world how many times? But, it feels like it's all there fault sometimes. Like if they'd never been born, Michael and Lucifer wouldn't have had perfect vessels. The apocalypse never would have started, my dad wouldn't have given himself up to Castiel, Lucifer would have never been freed and although Jack wouldn't have been born, Kelly would still be alive."

"And me?" Alex asked. "Where would I be? Still stuck with those vamps? And-And even if the Winchester's weren't born, someone else would have come along. Azazel would have made his demon army! Over all, the world would have gone to shit real fast. You and I would've grown up with no choice but to face the supernatural, if we even grew up at all!"

"Alex has a point, and so do you Claire. The Winchester's have saved so many lives, but they've taken and destroyed just as many. I don't really think there's a correct ending for them. They've done time in both heaven and hell, no matter how short. Dean even spent time in purgatory. They've taken and saved lives, and they've always tried to do what's right. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure where they'll go when they die."

"Maybe they'll haunt the bunker," Claire laughed.

"Please, the last thing we need is raging Winchester ghosts. I don't know how the empty works, but maybe you could send them there to be with Cas?"

Jack shook his head. "Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't really matter anyways, ultimately, it's up to Billie." Jack's phone lit up on the table with an unknown caller ID.

"Looks like baby's all good. You gonna run?"

"No, I believe I have one last goodbye."

---

"Oh good, you're back! I gotta say, she is a real beauty both inside and out. Although I'm amazed she still runs, not only is she getting old but, it looks like she's seen a lot of action in her day."

"Where'd you even get her?"

"She was a friends, actually..." She was yours.

"Well I don't know what he did with her, but he's done a damn good job at keeping her running. I know it sounds weird but, she got a name?" Dean looked up at Jack from the hood and Jack could feel his heart crack.

"He called her Baby, that's her name."

"Heh, sounds like something you'd name a car like this." Sam laughed. "Oh and uh, there's some Lego stuck in the heater, I don't know if you knew. But I didn't want to touch it in case it had any sentimental value."

"I did, and it dies, they're uh- they're apart of her. Well, her stories at least. My friend stuck them in there when he was little, and uh," Jack rounded the car and stuck his head in to point out a little green army man stuck in a tray, "his brother stuck that there."

Dean laughed. "So she was a family girl, huh?"

Jack nodded, he could feel his chest tightening. "She was."

Taking a deep breath, he stood up and brushed his coat off. This was it. He promised to let them go after this, to let them live. Baby would be his parting gift, a final goodbye.

"Well, here ar-" Dean stopped when he noticed the young man was gone. "What the- Where'd he go?" Dean turned around a few times, but the garage was empty except for him, Sam, and baby.

"Di-did he just vanish?"

Dean shrugged. "Maybe it was a ghost."

"A Ghost? Really Dean?"

"Who cares? We get this beauty. Wanna take her out for a test ride?"

"De-No. We ca- I don't eve- Isn't it technically stealing?"

"Look he was there, and then- poof! So obviously he doesn't want the car, now get in or I'm leaving you."

"This is still a horrible idea," Sam grumbled, getting in after Dean.

Dean rolled his eyes. "Bitch."

"Jerk."

The Road Ahead | Adam Milligan x Reader

Words: 2279

Warning: None, except some typos and Adam not being in this one as much.

A/N: How does writing work again? What do you mean I have to type it out? I’m thinking of a series name for this to organize these continuous oneshots. No promises of regular updates. It’s only when I can.

Continuation of [True Winchester Fashion] and [Night at the Museum].

-

The museum director hummed softly to herself as her heels echoed through the empty halls of the building. The exhibit was coming along nicely and her contact had come through and found an actual grimoire. Finally, her years of searching were finally over. If only she had brushed up on her Latin, then she would have had no problem translating it herself. Her senior curator had fallen sick after a week of trying to translate the ancient book, which left the college student rookie to translate. She had kept an eye on you for some time now. She had seen the potential in you, the potential of witchcraft. It takes practice and intelligence to master it and she had only wished the matrilineal side of her family had kept on the tradition of passing down the defunct coven’s knowledge. No matter. Blood of the coven is thicker than water of the womb, as they say. You make your own family.

With each passing week of you translating the grimoire, more incidents had been occurring around town. She wanted to approach you about it, to help you control the power of the book, but it would mean revealing her intentions too soon. She had watched you run in fear when the growing number of creatures had reached the museum. Then, those damn FBI agents had to get involved. They stopped by the museum after you had reported the bodies of the security guards that night and she had to pretend to be a clueless director that had limited knowledge about the objects in the museum and the history they hold.

It would be a matter of time before the grimoire gets out of control.

Exiting the museum, she felt a cold presence behind her. She spun around and saw a woman with the reddest hair, palest skin, and radiating the most powerful energy she had ever felt. The woman’s red lips split into a smile, a chill running down the director’s back telling her that it wasn’t a friendly one.

“Who are you?” she asked, taking a step back.

“Oh, dear. Oh, sweet dearie. You dare mess with magic and not know who I am?” The woman chuckled, taking a step forward. “I’m Rowena, the most powerful witch that ever graced this horrible planet and… the current Queen of Hell.”

“Queen of Hell. You must be joking.”

Rowena stared her down and the director suddenly felt her knees giving out. “I have been told that I have a grim sense of humor, but I do not joke about this. And you, missy, must think that witchcraft is a joke. What was it? Some kind of soul searching, finding out who you are from your family tree? Think you could feel close to them if you get a fancy old book and a cauldron?” she said mockingly. “What’s your name, sweetheart.”

“Joana Faith,” she gasped as the weight on her shoulders lifted.

Rowena hummed. “You. You need to fix this mess. As much as I love chaos, I love organized chaos and I’m not going to let some amature run around with a powerful grimoire like she’s in Harry Potter. You watch yourself, because I will also be watching you, Joana Faith.”

“Alright, alright.” Joana slowly picked herself off the ground. “And what about those FBI agents that have been snooping around? How is all of this going to be explained?”

Rowena rolled her eyes, a mix of irritable fondness in one gesture. “Those boys. They probably already know by now. As long as you set things right, you don’t have to worry about them. You do know how to stabilize that grimoire, right?”

“Well…”

Rowena rolled her eyes again.

-

Adam felt Michael’s presence in the back of his mind, asking to take over. “I can help,” the archangel said. Adam nodded, taking a step back and allowing Michael to take control.

“I don’t know what to do,” you moaned, clutching your head between your hands as eerie figures began to crowd around the windows of your apartment.

Your eyes landed on the grimoire, the leathery surface and crispy pages drawing you in like a magnet. Heat radiated off of the old padlock as your hand drifted closer. There were ancient powers in that book, power to change things, to manipulate them, and to end things. And the grimoire chose you.

You could hear Adam’s voice, but it sounded like you were under water. You couldn’t catch what it was, but you felt your heart pick up in panic. This wasn’t right. This was something that you don’t know about… but maybe you can learn to.

Firm hands gripped your shoulders as you were yanked away from the grimoire. Adam’s hazel eyes were looking down at you, but it didn’t feel like Adam. You still couldn’t understand what he was saying. He frowned, pressing two fingers onto your forehead. Heat spread through your head, brightness filling your vision as if you were pulled out of the ocean.

“Sam and Dean will be coming to deal with the monsters outside, but I need you to focus.” He paused, watching as your eyes still drifted down to the grimoire. “That thing doesn’t call to just anyone, you know.”

As you calmed yourself, so did the noises outside, the dark shadows disappearing from view. Your eyes snapped back to him. “What does that mean?”

“It means, my dear, that you have a gift and a curse,” came a Scottish woman’s voice.

You spun a head around and saw a red haired woman and Joana who looked haggard. The red haired woman rolled her eyes at her.

“Oh, please, you want to be a witch and you can’t even handle teleportation,” she chided. She looked over at you and Adam and smiled. “Hello, Michael. Fancy seeing you here. Playing college student, I see.”

“Rowena,” ‘Adam’ said with a curt nod, “You’re here for the book.”

“Of course I am. Even if the Winchesters deal with those monsters outside, there’ll be more coming if we don’t get that book under control. You,” Rowena sauntered over to you, “How much of the book you’ve read already?”

“Almost all of it,” you said sheepishly.

She hummed, looking almost impressed. A grimoire would be difficult for a beginner, but for someone who had no experience to make it that far into the book is a feat in itself. Maybe you’d be useful to her in the future, or maybe become a potential apprentice.

“Well, you two are glad that I’m here. Listen up, I’m about to give you a Witchcraft crash course and I expect you to pay attention. You wouldn’t want me to visit you when I’m upset. Michael, help those boys outside while I sort this out, would you?”

Adam stood up and gave her a look of warning. “Make sure (Y/n) is safe-”

“Or else what, dearie?” she smirked. There wasn’t much use arguing with the Queen of Hell, especially if it was Rowena Macleod.

He glowered before turning to you. “It’s going to be okay,” he assured you.

You watched him disappear with a small gust, strands of your hair flying out of your face and loose paper flying off the table. “What do you mean by Michael?” you asked Rowena.

“Oh, he didn’t tell you? Your boyfriend Adam is the vessel of the archangel Michael,” she said nonchalantly, “but we’ll unpack that later. We’ve got work to do.”

-

There was an energy that coursed through your veins that you never knew was possible. It was invigorating, like you could fly or punch through a wall. Rowena warned you about becoming too power hungry.

“Ambition is good, but too much can kill you,” she said, then added with a smirk, “Unless you find a way to cheat death, I suggest you know your limits first.”

After the incident with the grimoire, everything seemed to go back to normal. Your friend, who the Winchesters had saved from the vampire den also had no recollection, convinced that she was drugged and kidnapped while your other friend was not so lucky in getting out. The two of you mourned all the same, but only you knew how she really died. No one in town even remembered what happened with the disappearances and the killings, except for you and Joana. You now see her in a different light, knowing what her main goal was in creating the Salem witch exhibit. Her talk with Rowena seemed to humble her and she regarded you with a little more respect than she used to. The exhibit was still ongoing, but this time, no dangerous objects for display. No, that grimoire stayed with you after Rowena helped the two of you contain it. It was now imprinted with you and under your care. You didn’t know where to start.

Adam had disappeared that night and no one remembered him, either. It was as if he had vanished along with everything that was unnatural, like some weird fever dream. Rowena had said that he was a vessel to an angel, the archangel Michael of all things. In any other circumstances, you would have had a hard time believing it, but with the grimoire and the monsters and witches that came with it, it was just another piece to the universal puzzle found. Now you know the truth. The things in stories like the werewolves, the vampires, the witches, and even angels and demons, were all real, and there were people that dealt with them within the shadows. They come and go and only a few even notice them. They save lives without any recognition or reward. Hunters, they were called. The Winchesters.

After graduating college, you weren’t sure what you wanted to do. There was the museum library, but it was no longer what you wanted to do. Now that you have discovered witchcraft, you wanted to know what you could do. Maybe you could help people, too, like Adam and his brothers.

You cleared up your desk at the museum as you snacked on the brownies that a senior curator had brought in for your last day. They were sad to see you go, but you told them that you had applied to a museum in the city and wanted to see where you went from there.

“You are always welcomed back here,” one of them said as they hugged you.

Your last stop was the cemetery where your friend had already left flowers. She didn’t talk to you all that much, saying she needed more time with her family and had sought professional help to cope with your mutual loss. Maybe it was for the best. You still blamed yourself for your mutual friend’s death after all.

You turned to leave and was immediately faced with Joana. She had dropped her perky and enthusiastic mask that she had kept up around others and offered a sympathetic smile instead.

“I’m sorry about your friend,” she said, “I didn’t realize that an old leathery book would cause this much trouble. I’m sorry.” She looked around, eyes squinting as the summer sun beamed down on the two of you. “I heard you were leaving town. Good for you. I… there’s another thing I should apologize for.”

It was then you realized that she had a small book tucked under her arm. She pulled it out and handed it over to you. It was worn from constant use, scribbles and rough sketches on every page. Flipping through them, words like wendigo, werewolves, and revenant, stood out.

“It had been left on your desk that night when… the whole thing with the grimoire had been put to rest. I got curious and… I might have borrowed it. I realized it must have been left by those hunters that had helped us,” Joana explained.

“Possibly by Adam,” you muttered, closing the journal.

“Adam. Rowena said that he was a vessel of an angel. Is that true? Did you know?”

You shook your head. “Not sure how much from the Queen of Hell is true but I wouldn’t be too surprised anymore if it was. There is a lot out there that people don’t know about. What about you? What are you going to do now?”

She shrugged. “I could dabble here and there. I think I want to use it to protect this town, though. After everything that happened, I realized the impact of one thing could have on a whole community, especially when it involves things that people don’t believe existed. If those hunters hadn’t come here, hell, even if Adam hadn’t decided to go to school here, who knows what would have happened.”

“Yeah. Makes you think about those that weren’t so lucky. I’m going to try to learn more about this… this whole business with supernatural things. If I have a gift, I should use it, right?”

Joana nodded before stepping back. “Well, good luck. Come back whenever and tell me about what you’ve found. I’m curious, but I don’t think I’m cut out for venturing.”

“I’ll be sure to do that.”

As you walked towards your car, there was the bittersweet ache in your chest. You had never lived away from home before, the town was practically all you knew. Yet, there was something inside of you that felt that you had the potential to do more and be more than what you were now, and it wasn’t going to change unless you stepped away into something new.

The road ahead was dangerous, but it was better than staying in one spot forever. Maybe one day, you would even run into Adam again.

Word Count: 5720  

Warning: someone gets taken, talk of blood, talk of torture

A/N: Woah this got out of hand. I wasn’t expecting this to take so long, and to be this long either. I hope the ending doesn’t come off as rushed. I kinda enjoyed this and if anyone wants, I could do another part? I’d need some ideas for monsters though! Hope you enjoy

Part One  Part Two

Masterlist

You spent every day after school with Stiles and the pack in the week since your trip to Sunnydale. Stiles had insisted on taking you home after school, or picking you up whenever there was a potential lead. Stating that it would be faster to show you than to hope you didn’t get lost. You’d rolled your eyes, but secretly you didn’t mind being driven around. Plus, Stiles was cute, so that may have been another reason. 

Argent and Derek had taken over most of the actual searching. Scott joined them most nights, but the rest of you had been tasked with connections and trying to determine who the skincrawler currently was. Which was proving difficult. You couldn’t do much without the identification of the skinned body, and you hadn’t been able to find anyone with the grey colored aura. 

“We got an ID on the last body.” Sheriff Stlinski announced as he and Parish walked into Scott’s kitchen. Stiles grabbed the file folder from his dad, immediately shifting through the new information. 

“We also think the church connection was the start. But it turns out that there’s also a family connection.” Parish added. “The first three victim went to the same church, but the fourth is related to the second and third.” 

“It’ll stay with the family.” You sighed. “Once it finds easy prey like that it’ll stay. Who is it?” 

“Stephan Milligan?” Stiles looked around the room. "Anyone know him?" 

Heads shook, shoulders shrugged, then Mason, Liam's best friend, spoke up. "Yeah, he was in my math class." He turned his phone around to show a photo of an innocent looking kid. "He said something a few weeks ago about his aunt being sick. I didn't think anything of him not being in class."

Sheriff Stlinski nodded. "His aunt was the second victim. His cousin was the third." 

"It's probably trying to keep a low profile." You said, thinking back to something Willow had told you before you left. "The resurrection ritual needs to be done just right to work. If anything goes wrong, or something interferes, then everything could go wrong. Most of the time they try to put themselves in the lives of whoever they have taken over. But because this one is trying to do this ritual it’s definitely not going to try and be noticed.”

"It's doing a poor job then." Stiles said, he was still looking over the files. "It's just leaving the bodies around in the open, like it wants to get caught."

"I can't figure that part out. Normally they are discreet. Unless it's part of the ritual or something." You pulled your phone out to text Buffy and Willow.

"Mason, can you send everyone that photo. It'll help knowing who we are looking for." Scott asked, before he could say anything else everyone's phones vibrated. "Thanks. I'm going to go out tonight with Derek and see if we can maybe track his scent." He looked at you. "Do you think that will work?"

"Honestly, not sure. The only other werewolf I know wasn't around when this was going on. But it wouldn't hurt to try."

After a bit more planning, with Malia agreeing to go with Scott, and Lydia going with Mason and Liam to see if she can pick up on anything from Stephans locker, you all called it a night. Per the new norm, Stiles took you home, he was silent almost the entire way. His brows pinched as he worked his lip. You’d picked up on this being his tell that his mind was racing.

"What's going on up there?" You asked, tapping his forehead.

He startled, glancing at you a moment before looking back at the road. "It's bothering me."

You waited for him to finish, but he  grew quiet agan. "What is?"

He pursed his lips. "This thing, it's not being stealthy. I can't shake the feeling that it wants us to find these people. Wants us to find it. Something just isn't sitting right with me." He put the Jeep in park in your driveway, then turned to face you.

"It's not sitting right with me either. I texted Buffy and Willow, but they haven't gotten back to me. We still have a few days before it attacks again."

"That's what worries me."

"Me too. But, with everyone on the lookout now, I'm sure we will find it before it takes another person." You grabbed your bag, looking back at him. "Try and get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning."

He looked at you a moment before smiling softly. "Goodnight."He waited for you to get in your door before leaving, and you waited for his tail lights to disappear before closing the door.

"Alright class," Mrs. Hopkins started handing papers out, speaking as she went. "I want you to pick a partner, and go over this assignment. We are about to start The Crucible. I want you and your partner to pick a character and write a character Analysis on them. This project will be done over the next couple of weeks but I want you to pick the character now. And no you can’t change it. Get started." She waved her hands, then returned to her desk.

Stiles immediately moved his desk against yours, blocking you in. 

"Howdy, partner." He winked.

You laughed, rolling your eyes. "Who said I wanted to work with you?"

His hand went to his chest in fake offence. "Unbelievable. I thought we had something building here."

Your cheeks warmed, you knew he was joking, but you really had been growing some feelings for him. You grabbed his desk as he tried to pull away. "I'm kidding."

"I know. I just like messing with you. So, witch trials." He leaned on his hand, his fingers covering his lips as he looked at you.

"Ridiculous. And barbaric. Witches weren't even seen as being bad till some crazy dude was convinced one of the local witches cursed his horses. Then it was 'she made me ugly' and 'my crops died because of that hag'. And the tests? Who the hell even thought of them?"

Stiles had a smile on his face, his brows slightly raised.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"No, but it's kinda cute when you get all defensive over something you care about."

You rolled your eyes again before picking up your pen and getting started on the assignment.

The rest of the day went by quick, and before you knew it you were sitting in the Jeep waiting on Stiles.  You'd been waiting a bit so when someone tapped on the window you jumped.

"Sorry." Liam cringed when you rolled the window down. "Scott told me to meet him here. Said there was some news?"

You shrugged, moving to the back of the Jeep so he could get in. The two of you talked for a bit before you saw Stiles and Scott coming out of the school. Their heads were close as they made their way to the car. Although the colors around Stiles were slightly muted, Scotts glowed like a light blue fire around him when the sun hit just right. You had become hyper aware of the auras to try and locate the skincrawler, you hadn't had much luck. You'd been working a few hours a day with whoever from the pack was available to try and hone in on making the colors appear more vivid. It had helped, but you hadn't had any luck locating the grey aura. But, you did notice that the colors around Stiles wern’t nearly as vivid as you had first thought. You also hadn't brought it up to him yet. It never felt like the right time, and you wanted to try and figure it out before springing it on him.

"Hey." Stiles said when he climbed into the driver's seat. "Ready to hear some good news?"

"Always." You responded, turning your attention to Scott who was leaning in the window.

"Argent thinks they may have found where the skincrawler is hiding."

"Let me guess, a really old crypt?"

He chuckled. "Yeah. Him and Parrish found one that had the door busted open and there were some clothes and stuff. They aren't 100% sure if it's the skincrawler, but they set up some cameras to watch it.”

"What is it with bad supernaturals and crypts?" You groaned. The boys laughed. "I'm serious. I've gone on patrols with Buffy and I can't tell you how many times we have cleared out crypts. That's where we took out the group of skincrawlers. It's weird. Plus they are always full of spiders." You shivered. Just the thought of spiders made you get creepy crawly feelings. 

Liam spun around in his seat. "Wait a second. You've encountered actual demons, but spiders scare you?" His face was dead serious for a moment before he busted out laughing. "That's so fun..ow!" He reached for his arm. "What was that for?" He asked Stiles who was shaking his fist out. 

"Get out of the Jeep if you're going to make fun of Y/N." His face was deadly serious as he eyed the young wolf who could easily whoop his ass. 

"Oh stop." You laughed, covering Stiles' face with your hand. "Don't try and intimidate the wolf."

Liam stuck his tongue out as Scott pulled the door open and grabbed him by his shirt. "Alright, we don't need either of you crying later." He was already dragging Liam away from the jeep. "I'll catch up with you guys tonight." He waved bye and gently bumped into Liam as they both walked off. 

You flopped yourself down into the passenger seat, taking a moment to look at Stiles as he fiddled with the sheriff department scanner. It surprised you that in a little over a week you had become close with everyone. Lydia and Malia had already talked you into girls night, and the boys kept an eye out for you just like they did each other. It was nice considering the seriousness of the situation in which you came into their lives. After losing the one person outside of family who understood and didn't judge you, you put up a wall. But these people, this pack that welcomed you with the understanding that being a little different isn't a bad thing, had slowly poked hole in that wall. 

You pulled yourself from your thoughts, eyes focusing on the multicolored boy at your side. "Feeeeeeed me, Stilinski." 

He turned to look at you, a smirk on his face. "Dude, I gave you my mini muffin pack like an hour ago." 

"I'll have you know I've been working very hard in that hour and now need more food if I'm to have the energy to start this project early."

He rolled his eyes with a laugh as he started the Jeep. He didn't even have to ask you where you wanted to go as he headed in the direction of the local sushi place.

Thirty minutes later the two of you were sitting at the dining room table, the book for class and an ungodly amount of sushi between you both. 

"I think we should go with Reverend Hale." You suggest, popping a piece of sushi in your mouth. 

Stiles shrugged, looking up from his phone. "Sure, he seems like might be a bit of a complex character."

You look at him a moment, then look at his phone and back up at him. "Did you google it?" He slapped his phone face down, stuffing a piece of sushi in his mouth. "Oh my god, you did!" You reach for his phone and he pulls it back to him. 

"Noh!" He laughs, his mouth still full. 

"Ew. I know it's seafood, Stilinski but I don't need to see your food!" 

He laughed harder, opening his mouth wider as your hand tried to close it. 

Then there's a knock at the door and you both freeze. Stiles quickly swallowed the food. 

"Were you expecting someone?" You shake your head. "Hold on, I'll get it." You follow behind him as he looks through the peephole then sighed with relief as he unlocks the door. "Hi Willow." 

"Oh, hello! Sorry to just pop in like this." 

"Wil!" You jump around Stiles and hug her. "What are you doing here? Everything okay?" 

"Yes. Yes Everything is fine." She said, coming further into the house. "I brought you some protective charms, even though most of you won't need them, I feel a bit more comfortable knowing you have an extra layer of protection." She passed you the charm necklaces, they were subtle, looking like any normal necklace, but you could feel the slight hum from the protection spell. "Also. A slightly selfish reason." She glanced over at Stiles. " I was wondering if it would be possible for me to see The Nemeton." 

"Uh." Stiles looks at you, then back at Willow. "I, uh, let me call Argent. He might be available to take you." He stepped into the kitchen as you and Willow sat on the couch. 

"How's the search going?" She asked, taking your hand to trace your palm. 

"They think they found where it's hiding, and who it is wearing. But nothing solid yet." 

"How are you doing?" 

You rested your head on her shoulder, relaxing a bit as her finger gently traced the lines of your hand. "I'm making it. Knowing it's out there is pretty scary though. I just keep thinking back on what happened last time." You grow quite a moment, deciding to tell her something you hadn't shared with anyone else. "I've been having nightmares." Her finger traces up and back down your finger. "I'm back at the crypt, and that, thing, is wearing Alice's face. Taunting me. It's like I'm reliving that night all over again. I wake up and I can't breath. I've never been so scared of anything before." 

Willow laid her cheek on your head. "The protection charm will help with those. And you know I'll always answer my phone." 

You snuggled deeper into her, feeling the comfort from something you use to do as a kid. "Thanks, Wil." 

Before she could say anything more, Stiles came back, the tips of his ears were slightly pink, and he looked worried. "Sorry, uh, Argent said he would meet us in the woods and take you to The Nemeton." He seemed nervous about something and you made note to ask him later. 

The three of you piled into the Jeep, but you could feel the nervous energy coming off of Stiles. By the time he parked the jeep he was practically vibrating with it. Argent was already at the gate waiting. 

You opened the door, looking back at Stiles who had both hands on the wheel. "You coming?" 

"No." 

"Oh. Okay." You slipped out of the jeep, leading Willow to Argent. "Chris Argent, this is Willow Rosenburg. One of my aunts from Sunnydale."

"Nice to meet you." He said, shaking her hand. "Ready? It's a bit of a hike." 

Willow smiled with a nod. "You coming with us?" She asked.

You looked back at the jeep. "No, I think I'm going to go check on Stiles." 

"Good idea. He's got a past with this area of the woods, so he might need someone with him." Argent said, his brows pinched with worry as he looked at the jeep. 

"Be safe." You called, watching them walk into the woods. When you turned around, Stiles was staring blankly after them. His hands were still gripping the steering wheel. He didn't even move when you climbed in. "You okay?" You whispered, there was worry growing in the pit of your stomach, you hadn't seen him so quiet before. 

"Fine. Yea. Good." He stammered, his hands released the wheel and he rubbed them on his pants. Then he signed, as if he was trying to push out the unwelcome feelings. "Two years ago, Scott, Allison, Chris's daughter, and I performed a Druid ritual. We submerge ourselves in ice water to slow our hearts down so we could find our parents who had been kidnaped by this psycho teacher. But doing that we supercharged The Nemeton. We also lost a piece of ourselves. It also left us vulnerable." He cleared his throat, running his hand across his jaw. "I got possessed.”

Your eyes grew wide, there was a shiny spot down Stiles cheek where he had a tear slip. Your hand moved to his, your palm on the back of his, fingers weaved between his. 

“At first I didn’t know what was happening. But things got really bad.” His fingers tightened around yours for a bit. “It was a Nogitsune. And it thrived off the chaos it created. Scott and Lydia were able to separate us, but shit just got worse. Allison. She died.” He was crying now, his breathing going heavy. “The thing still had my face. Had control over these demon warriors. It all started with this damn stump.” 

You reached over, wiping at his cheek gently. “Hey, that’s all over now. But it explains a lot.” He finally looked at you, brows pinched. “You have this residual glow around you. That’s why I thought you were supernatural. It’s all these different colors at once, but now that my sight is stronger, I realize that it’s so muted that it takes just the right light to see.” 

He dropped his head back to the head rest, his fingers still gripped yours. “I knew I’d never really be rid of it. I still have nightmares about the stuff it did, the stuff it made me do.”

“Willow said the protection charm will help with nightmares. I’ve, I’ve been having them too. About the skincrawlers. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner about the aura.” 

Stiles looked at you, his eyes still shiny from the tears. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about being possessed. I try to not think about it much. But I don’t think I’ve had a chance to actually process a lot of it.”

“I’m here for you if you ever need to talk about it. I promise I won’t judge. I’ve experienced some crazy stuff and I know how it feels to feel like you don’t have anyone to talk to.” 

He smiled, lightly squeezing your fingers again. Before anything more could be said there was a tapping on your window. You yelped, practically jumping into Stiles’ lap, his hands grabbing your waist. Willow and Chris were outside the window laughing so hard they had to hold each other up. 

“That was so rude!” You yelled, trying hard to calm your heart. 

“Maybe, but that was too funny.” Willow gasped as she opened the door. She looked back at Chris. “Thank you for showing me that. I think I’ve got what I need if you guys are ready to go.”

Stiles, with his hands still on your waist, helped you into the backseat as Will got in the Jeep. Chris spoke a moment to Stiles before heading to his car and following you out of the woods. 

——

Two days later, Lydia and Malia decided that you all needed some time away from the boys and drove to the mall right after school. The three of you were currently enjoying milkshakes in the food court.

"You were right." You laughed as you wiped at your mouth. "Some time away from the boys was exactly what we needed."

"We should make this a regular thing." Lydia said as she pouted at her empty milkshake. "Although, I'm surprised Stiles let you out of his sight." 

You flicked a straw wrapper at her, "Oh stop it." 

Malia nodded in agreement with Lydia before her eyes focused on something behind you. Lydia also froze her eyes wide as she searched around the food court.

"Something is here." She whispered.

Malia silently pointed and you turned to follow her finger. Your heart stopped when you saw the grey aura around the kid whose picture you had memorized. He was walking slow, but not drawing attention to himself. Someone stopped to talk to him, patted his shoulder and walked off as he turned down another wing of the mall.

"Call Scott," You told Malia, "I'll call Stiles." You jumped up.

Lydia grabbed your arm. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to follow it." You replied, pulling your arm free and hitting Stiles' name on your phone.

"Y/N!" Lydia called after you, frantically pulling out her phone. But you were already heading down the wing after Stephan, phone pressed to your ear.

"Y/N! How's the mall?" Stiles asked the moment he picked up.

"We found him. Stephan. I'm following him right now at the mall." You kept your voice down, as you walked around people, keeping your eyes on the grey aura.

"What? What do you mean you're following him? Y/N don't do that. I'm on my way there." You could hear his keys jingling and the sound of a door. "Stay where you are."

"No. We can't lose him. This is the first we have seen of him. I can at least follow him to wherever he is going." You were nearing the exit, still watching Stephan as he pushed the door open. You could hear the jeep starting up. "He's leaving the mall right now."

"I'm serious, Y/N don't follow him. Please."  Stiles' voice was full of panic, but you were slightly irritated he was trying to tell you what to do.

"No. We need to know where he is going. He might have found another person to take." You stepped out into the sunlight, squinting as you  looked around. "Damn. I think I lost him."

"Go back inside. I'm almost there."

"I'm just going to do a quick walk around the parking lot. Call me when you get here." You pulled the phone away before you would hear his response. Sliding it in your pocket as you slowly walked towards the lot. After ten minutes with no luck, you turned around to head back, spotting Stiles pulling into the front of the mall. That was the last thing you remembered before everything went black

---

Your head was pounding. Your ears were ringing, and your mouth tasted like blood. As you opened your eyes, the light in the room was blinding. You quickly assessed yourself. Your hands were bound behind you, your feet tied to the legs of the chair you were sitting in, but no bones seemed to be broken.

"Ah, she's awake." A soft voice filled the quiet room, foot steps shuffled across the floor. "I was worried I hit you too hard." A finger touched your cheek and you tried to jump back. "Now, now. This will all go easier if you just sit still."

Your eyes finally adjusted, bringing the face of the voice into focus. It was Stephan. Well, the skincrawler. His eyes were black pits behind the glasses, there was a stench of death on his breath. "Go to hell." Your voice cracked.

"Is that any way to greet an old friend?"

"You're not my friend."

He circled around you, his finger dragging across your shoulders. "Oh, but I was once, wasn't I? Alice was quite fun to be, even though it was short lived." He laughed at his own joke. Stopping when he got in front of you again.

"What do you want from me? To use me as a resurrection sacrifice?" You twisted your wrist and pulled at your feet trying to get out of the rope.

He tisked at you. "No point in that now, you won't get out. And no. It's a funny story actually. Here I was, minding my business, becoming new people, and preparing to resurrect my family, when I saw you. Walking around here like nothing happened." His fist slammed into the wall. "Something happened! You killed my family!" The yell echoed in the small room.

"And you killed my friend, and many others! You had people locked in cages for your own fun!"

"I was going to ignore the fact you were here. That pack had no idea what or who I was. I thought maybe I could finish this, get my family back, and we would come back for you. But my need for revenge is too strong. I think I'll have some fun with you before though." He turned around and pulled the sheet off a table full of tools. "Which one first?"

The table was full of different knives and blades. The little light in the room reflected off the metal as he picked them up, examining them. “Eeny meeny miny moe.” He turned around with one pointed at you, taking slow steps your way. “I’ve been dreaming of this. But not that that I have you, I’m not sure where to start.”

“How about you start by backing away.” A voice called from the door. You both turned to see Stiles standing in the door with his bat. 

“Ah, yes. So glad you could join us Stilinski. Where is the rest of your pack?”

Stiles didn’t move from the door as he answered. “They aren’t coming.” 

You gasped, choking a bit. But, as Stephen turned to look at you, laughing, Stiles winked, and you almost sighed in relief.��

“What a shame, poor Y/N probably thought they would come save her.” The cold metal touching your cheek made you shiver. 

Suddenly, there was a thwack sound, and Stephen fell away from you cursing. Stiles was behind it, bat in the air ready to swing again. Before he could though, Stephen also had a hold of the bat, having jumped back up much faster then expected. The two struggled for it as you struggled against the ropes at your wrist again. 

Just as you thought Stiles had the upper hand, Stephen drew his head back, smashing it into Stiles face as hard as it could. A sob racked your body and everything seemed to slow as Stiles fell back onto the ground. 

“STILES!” You screamed, trying once again to break free from the chair. Your vision blurred as you failed to make it to his side. “Stiles get up!” 

A foot nudged at his shoulder, sending him to his back, but he still didn’t stir. “What a pity. I was hoping to have more fun with him.” He leaned down and sniffed at him. “Ugh and I can’t even take his skin?” With a sigh, Stephen turned back to you, “Now, where was I? Ah yes, I was just about to torture you.” A sinister grin spread across his face. Before he could get any closer, a flash knocked him out of the way. 

“Get them out of here!” Scott called out, his face was morphed into a wolf as he turned to slam a fist into Stephens face. 

Hands were on your wrist as Liam tried to untie you. “I can’t get the ropes.” He huffed. “Don’t move, I have to use my claws.” 

You could feel them slowly giving and were able to wiggle out as he quickly cut the ones at your ankles. Chris and Malia had already lifted an unconscious Stiles up and were making their way to the door. Before you could even get up, Liam had you in his arms running after them. The last thing you saw was Parish on fire and Lydia taking a deep breath. You kept your arms around Liam as the fresh air hit your face, Lydia’s scream was painful, you could only imagine how hard it was on the others. 

The moment Liam sat you on the ground you were racing towards Stiles who was laid on the grass, still knocked out. 

“He should be fine.” Chris said, letting out a relieved breath, pressing sand gauze to the cut on Stiles’ brow. “Melissa is on her way with his dad. He is breathing and his heart rate is normal.” 

You gently ran your fingers over his cheek, your eyes moving to watch his chest move before whispering. “What happened?” 

“Stiles saw you get taken.” Malia answered, sitting next to you as Chris and Liam moved to the other side. “He had called me the moment you hung up on him. And the moment he saw you taken he followed Stephen here. We weren’t far behind him, and we told him to wait for us, but he wouldn’t listen.” 

“I’m sorry.” Your voice cracked, your hand moved down his arm to trace his fingers. “I should have listened to you. I shouldn’t have followed him.” 

Malia rested a hand on your leg just as Scott spoke. “We’ve all done something we probably shouldn’t have. But what’s important is that you're both fine, and the thing is dead.” He helped Parish sit on the grass as he assessed everyone else. 

You wiped some tears from your cheek. “How?” 

“Once everyone was out of the room, Lydia used her scream to disorient him, and Parish wrapped him up in a fire hug. He is now a little dusty.” His eyes landed on you. “Are you okay?”

You nodded. “As good as I can be.” You looked down at Stiles, “I just wish he would wake up.” 

Scott nodded at your wrist. “Have my mom take a look at those. And don’t worry, I’ve been listening to his heartbeat since I got out here. He’s already conscious.” 

Your head snapped around just as Stiles squeezed your hand. His eyes slowly opened. You immediately threw yourself on him, sticking your face in his neck. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” You cried. 

Slowly his arm wrapped around you, his lips pressing into the side of your head. “No need to apologize. I’ll always save you.” 

“Actually I sav….ow!” Liam squeaked, you could feel Stiles flipping him off. 

You sat up, helping him slowly to a sitting position. “If I had listened you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.” 

He squeezed the hand he was still holding. “I heard what he said, he would have gotten you one way or another. Just next time, please wait for me before you go following a supernatural.” He brought your hand up to his lips, gently pressing it against them as Melissa and Sheriff Stlinski pulled up. 

“Okay,” Melissa called out, a first aid kit in hand. “Who am I patching up tonight?” 

———

“Can you pass me that water?” Stiles asked, turning his head on his pillow to face the water that was directly beside him. 

It had been almost two weeks since everything went down. The bruises on you both had faded to a gross green, your wrists still hurt, but the ointment Melissa gave you helped. Stiles on the other hand, was milking the fact that he had a mild concussion.

“It’s right there.” You groaned from his desk. He’d been having you do so much for him. Even though you complained every time, you still did it, trying to prove how thankful you were for everything he did. 

Stiles stuck his lower lip out. “But it’s too far, please?” 

“Fine.” You dropped your pen in the book and crossed the room. “You’re so needy.”

“Hey, who has been helping you change your bandages.” He cocked a brow. He was right, he had been reminding you and helping the bandaged on your wrist and ankles. 

“Drink your water.” 

After a few sips his head fell back on to the pillow, his brown eyes scanning your face. “How are you?” 

“Fine.” You said, he asked everyday, sometimes two or three times. You set the water back down. His hand gently grabbed the middle of your arm, pulling you closer. 

“I’m so sick of hearing ‘fine’. I can see it in your eyes that you aren’t. Shit, I’m not even fine.”  He tugged your arm again and you looked up. “I’m serious. Every time I close my eyes that night replays differently. Sometimes I show up and you’re all bloody and barely there. Others the Jeep wont go and my legs don’t work and I can’t get to you, but I can hear you screaming.”

“Why don’t you wear the protection charm?” You glanced at it on his bedside table. 

His hand moved to lace his fingers in yours. Something else he had been doing a lot lately. Any chance he could he would grab your hand, holding it just tight enough that there was an empty feeling when he would let go.

“Punishment.”  A deep breath. “I should have done more. Gotten there faster. Something.”

Your heart broke at the pain in his voice. “You did enough. You came, you brought the others. You made sure I knew I wasn’t left alone.” You glanced back at the charm. “I can’t be too irritated about the charm, I’ve not been wearing mine either. My dreams have been similar to yours. But you don’t wake up, or you never come. When I wake up I have to remind myself that everyone is okay. That you all came. That I’m out, and that thing is finally gone.” 

“Hey.” Stiles tugged your hand, causing you to fall into his arms. “I told you that night and I meant it. I’ll always be there.” 

Your head fell to his chest, letting him hold you for a bit. His heart beat, though slightly fast, was a reminder that he did wake up and was fine. 

“Y/N?” He broke the silence again, causing you to look up at him, almost nose to nose. “I’m going to do something that I’ve been thinking about since I saw you get taken.” 

“Stiles. If you don’t kiss me I might scream.” You whispered, your heartbeat now matching his. 

And he did it. He pressed his lips against your gently, his hand holding your head in place as you pushed yourself up a bit more. Butterflies erupted in your stomach and stars twinkled behind your eyes. But he pulled away all too quickly, resting his forehead against yours.

“Woah.”

“I almost did that the moment I knew you were awake that night.” You laughed, gently touching your nose to his. “But I was worried you might have had something wrong and I didn’t want to hurt you.” 

“I promise, you could never hurt me.” And he kissed you again, and again, and again.

martha & her ‘doctor’ness (s3-s4).

she’s still a medical student in season three, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know what she wants to do and how. martha wants to help people, and it’s all she’s ever wanted to do. it’s all she knows how to do, between helping her family and being the one everyone turned to, even when she was a teenager.

and then her hospital gets taken to the moon, and she starts to travel with the doctor, and things change.

at her core, she still wants nothing more than to help people, but sometimes helping people gets – twisted. there’s trapping witches in another space for eternity, there’s the face of boe sacrificing himself to save the lives of the people of the city.

and then there’s the daleks and the pig slaves, and she sees the kind of evil that is so persuasive, taking science and medicine that she loves and twisting it for their own gain. martha isn’t naive, she knows that there is evil in the world (she’s seen it, she’s lived it), but this is taking humans and changing them into monsters.

(monsters they may be, but monsters who were was once human, who had loved ones, who were loved.)

it was pragmatism that had martha’s thoughts move fast and move towards sending the lightning strike to the elevator, and she knew, deep down, what she was doing, but it didn’t truly hit her until she saw them, all four, dead on the floor. she, in self-defense, yes, but she became a murderer.

oh, martha had accepted that she couldn’t save everyone as a doctor, and knew that as long as she tried her best, as long as she gave it her all, she wouldn’t be at fault to those who died under her care, but this wasn’t a patient she could not save, these were people – people, even underneath the pig skin – that she killed in order to save herself.

there was something in her that broke in that moment. she wouldn’t change her actions because she didn’t want to die, and she didn’t want any of her friends to die too, but… she started to see, in herself, something ugly. she wasn’t good enough yet, good enough to save others, even if they didn’t want to be saved, and when she saw the doctor, taking off his coat, saying that there was not going to be one more death – she saw a man she could learn from to be a better doctor.

(this is when my martha started calling the doctor “the doctor” and not “mr. john smith” aside from when she comforted him during the face of boe’s death.)

and so she learnt from the doctor, learnt how to save others, learnt how to give a mercy kill when there wasn’t anything left to be saved, and she admired him and, in some ways, emulated him. tried to give choices whenever she could, tried to save everyone that she could.

and then the year happens, and martha is surrounded by so much death and destruction and people that she has to let die in order to save them in the end, and she saw so many people bleed and die for her and she can’tcan’tcan’t

(she turns off that compassion, that doctor inside of her that screams to save who she can and damn the consequences but she needs to hurt others in order to save them, and she’ll carry those scars for the rest of her life. it’s why she barely flinches when tom milligan dies for her because she can already hear so many screams, what’s one more?).

there are very few people that martha can turn back on her compassion for, and those are her family and jack. (not the doctor, not after the doctor offers the master a place on the tardis, damned her and her family and the suffering of the earth just because he doesn’t want to be alone.) those people are the only she can be a doctor for, and she is. jack and her share drinks and don’t speak, she becomes a therapist for her family, and she joins unit while her compassion is still turnt off.

her family, she thinks, and that’s why she doesn’t care about the fact that the doctor is going to go blow the sontarans sky high even though the martha before the year would. she cares about the doctor, loves him still, and all she can be glad for is that her family (including the doctor) is still alive, and she ignores a small part of her screaming for release.

and then she’s given the key after the daleks are attacking, and that internal screaming grows louder and louder. mercy killing is something that she has been trained against (it’s illegal in the UK, it doesn’t actually help for the majority of the cases), but it’s something that she’s been taught by the doctor, and she remembers the pig slaves, and she remembers the suffering she’s seen under the daleks, and she thinks, “is it better to be alive and in pain or dead?” and she decides that she knows which one is the truth.

(and that tiny part of her screams louder).

it’s the horror in the doctor’s eyes that wakes her up, jolts her a little from her (this is what needs to be done that she tells herself in order to drown out the screaming). it’s not that her identity revolves around the doctor, it’s not that she needs to have his approval, but… what was she doing, really? what had she become where she can hold other humans’ lives as hostages?

she doesn’t let it show throughout the chaos, even at her farewell to the doctor, but she’s sick, sick to her stomach at what she’s become, and the hand she clasps with jack is sweaty and shaking. she doesn’t like who she’s become (a doctor who can harm others), and it’s never what she wanted to become. she had never felt more like herself than when she helped that haath, and even then, he died too, saved her and sacrificed his own life, and all she’s been doing is harming others.

she spills it all to tom, about how she had to turn herself off in order to survive, and he holds her while she breaks (when she finally allows herself to break). she resigns from unit, turns down jack’s offer to join torchwood, and becomes a doctor in a hospital, returning back to her roots.

she wanted to become a doctor that heals, not a doctor that harms, and, after a few years of working in a hospital, she feels like she’s become that again.

[chicagocityofclans]

Natasha ‘Nat’ Aeryn Mahoney → Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Zoe Saldana and Gemma Chan → Human Shifters 

→ Basic Information 

Age: 198

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Straight 

Birthday: July 26th

Zodiac Sign: Leo

Religion: Paganism

→ Her Personality Natasha is a lively person and has an energetic personality. She is always on alert, and prefers being active as opposed to just hanging around. With her upbeat and often inspiring personality, Natasha makes friends easily and attracts people from all walks of life. She has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. Natasha can be very successful and happy in any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people. Which makes moving and starting new careers very easy for her. Natasha has a notable leader personality with a high need for security, a sense of justice and spiritual development. She is the youngest triplet but has always led her sisters in every way possible. Natasha is also sensitive and self-conscious. She is quick to take someone within her heart with a deep need to feel loved and wanted.

Natasha is passionate about all her relationships. She tends to be whatever they need; a friend, mother, sister, protector, counselor, provider, professor, defender, etc. It is easy for her to consider friends as her family. Natasha has many friends of all shapes, sizes and species. She will take the things shared with her to her grave. Just like her relationship with Sirius. It took him over a year for him to discuss his pack on a personal level with her. She has not shared any of her knowledge with her sisters or anybody else. She has her secrets and feels confident that she will never tell anyone; unless their lives are in danger and then she will be willing to give enough to save them. This feeds into her fiercely overprotective side. She can become aggressive and hostile in nature when wronged or if those she considers family is wronged. Once her loyalty is lost, she will be rude and unapologetic, wanting whoever hurt her to feel her pain. 

→ Her Personal Facts

Occupation: Lawyer

Scars: None

Tattoos: Depends on Shift 

Two Likes: Learning and Naturalism 

Two Dislikes: Abusers and Rude Tourists 

Two Fears: Cleithrophobia and Never getting married

Three Negative Traits: Compulsive, Self-Indulgent, Secretive

Gennady works in a lab, specializing in genetic engineering. While Gennady has not married yet, he has adopted orphaned human shifters. Their parents had once frowned upon it but spoiled their 7 grandchildren rotten. Gennady is currently in the process of adopting anyone.

Dola Chellingworth (Sister): Dola is Natasha’s youngest sibling. Dola was born while Natasha, Galina and Annika were in Nashville. She married a man she met while at university. Natasha has met the Englishman a few times and sees him in the background when she and Dola speak. Natasha does not like him but he makes Dola happy. Natasha is waiting to settle in Chicago before inviting them to move closer and possibly join the Chicago clan.

Children Names:

None

Romantic Connections:

Sirius Cobic (Boyfriend): Natasha met Sirius 7 years ago via a mutual connection. He was in Chicago while she was in Nashville. They would text, talk and video chat for hours. There was not a day that went by where they were not in some form of contact. In the past 4 years, they have met a few times in person and have vacationed together too. Natasha was planning on ending their relationship if Sirius refused, again, to take their relationship to the next level. Sirius asked for her to move to Chicago. Natasha is hoping that it does not take as long for him to propose or for them to start a family. 

Platonic Connections:

Churchill Darling (New Friend): Nat has heard a lot about Churchill and is eager to meet him. She thinks they may have crossed paths before but is unsure. 

Vincent Kane (New Friend): Nat has heard and saw Vincent in the background while speaking with Sirius. Recently, Vincent has done her background check and interviewed her for the lawyer position in Chicago. 

Lillian Pickford (New Friend): Nat was given both Lillian and Adelaide names for her new position as a lawyer. Lillian has kept in contact with her via email and has already invited her out for lunch and possibly dinner with her family. 

Arthur ‘Art’ Milligan Jr. (New Friend): Just like Vincent and Churchill, Nat has heard alot about Art and has also heard his voice in the background while speaking to Sirius. Sirius has shared his concerns about Art’s magical connections and Annika has offered to help in any way she can; mostly out of curiosity. 

Winston Abioye (New Friend): Winston tried to flirt with Natasha on her first day but she quickly told him she was with Sirius. He seemed shocked and asked her for any stories she was willing to share. He seems pleasant enough. 

Adelaide Blanchett (New Friend): Nat was given both Lillian and Adelaide names for her new position as a lawyer. Adelaide was kind enough to give Nat a call welcoming her as a new lawyer. Adelaide has kept in touch over the process, Nat and her sisters are eager to meet her. 

Montgomery Wilders (New Friend): Nat has heard of Monty and knows about his relationship with Adelaide. She remembers Sirius asking her for advice when he first took in the young couple. 

Robert Fischer (New Friend): Just like Vincent and Churchill, Nat has heard alot about Robert and has also heard his voice in the background while speaking to Sirius. Lately, Nat has noticed Sirius no longer talks about him and was shocked when she noticed a familiar name running for mayor. 

Inez Sparks (New Friend): Inez is another name Nat has been hearing from Sirius. She is excited to meet her and thinks they’ll get along well. Nat and her sisters aren’t strangers to need to play certain roles for people they consider friends. 

Douglas Gish (New Friend): Douglas has also played a role in her hiring process. He seems friendly and has taken an interest in Galina. 

Hostile Connections:

Raul Santiago (Strong Dislike): Natasha knew Raul in Nashville. They had some of the same warlock and witch connections. It was easy becoming friends with the cross country teleport; especially since she used him to deliver a few things to her parents and siblings. Sadly, Raul ghosted Natasha without reason. She tried to get in contact with him multiple times without any luck. She knows he lived in Chicago before they stopped talking and is unsure if she should seek him out or let bygones be bygones.

Pets:

None

THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW

~Season 5, Episode 31~

For years, I've been fascinated by the films of Andy Milligan, a Saint Paul-born director who took his shot at Hollywood bigtime in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. His output, all a low-budget affair, has a certain charm to it, due in no small part to the auteur's use of non-actors who seem to have just had a script thrust into their chest bare minutes before "Action!"

This weekend, The Doomed & Stoned Show presents another entry in our 'Doomed Cinema' series, zooming in for a closer look at Andy Milligan's 'Torture Dungeon' (1970). Set in vague medieval times, we are introduced to a power-mad Duke who will stop at nothing to see his ambitions to the throne of the plague-stricken kingdom realized -- even if it means a violent end to foe and family alike. Accompanying the storyline, a robust selection of down 'n' dirty doom, sticky sludge, and hot-to-trot New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Multi-chaptered fic. Lots of songs, and lots of feels. Some smut. Some blurred lines with the brothers, I can't help myself. Some added characters and tags later. I wrote this using Snailhair's OC's and hope you guys give her AU a chance. It'll help knowing the characters.

Family barbecue to start it off. Enjoy.
