Anna and Mercy's doormat tendencies.
I dislike how Anna and Mercy are nearly always soooo understanding and forgiving when their husbands treat them like shit. There's that strain of martyrdom/doormatness that i just find pathetic.
How many times has Charles brought Anna around his exes without telling her? Maggie actually meant something to Charles. He loved her once upon a time and Anna is such a martyr of course she never lashes out, gets angry or jealous. She acted more possessive when that schoolteacher flirted with Charles than she did Maggie. How lame.
And let's not forget Mercy, acting like a doormat in Night Broken. Adam would do all these small stupid shitty things, and she never lashes out at him. No its all Martyr Mercy. These days all she does is pacify Adam with sex, sex, sex.
This is why Leah is my girl. Idc if she causes problems between Bran and his sons. I love that when Bran hurts her, she lashes back, hurting him by causing strife between him and his sons. Or not attending the funeral.

Alpha bf????? What are people even talking these days?
Jikook are real people, please anons stop such weird narratives. Cringe.
My favorite Alpha Boyfriends post because you gave me the excuse!
Charles Cornick - Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs
"Anna gave Charles a shy kiss on the cheek and strolled out of the room without a backward glance. Until she reached the doorway, and then, in full view of the curious who'd had the courage or discourtesy to linger in the auditorium after he'd dismissed them, she kissed her palm and blew it to him.
And despite... or because of their audience, he caught it in one hand, and pulled the hand to his heart. Her smile dropped away, and the expression in her eyes would feed him for a week. And the expressions on the faces of the wolves who knew Charles, or knew his reputation, would make him laugh as soon as no one was watching."
Adam Hauptman - Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
"It's only fair to warn you that you sealed your fate tonight. When you knew you were in trouble, you came to me. That makes twice, Mercy, and twice is almost as good as a declaration. You are mine now.... Ben says you might run. If you do, I will find you and bring you back. Every time you run, Mercy. I won't force you, but. .. No more excuses, Mercy. You are mine, and I am keeping you."
Clayton Danvers - Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
What’s this?” Nick said. “Bedtime?”
No one answered him. I kept my eyes closed.
“You look positively content, Clayton,” Nick continued, thumping down on the floor. “That wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Elena is cuddled up with you, would it?”
“It’s cold in here,” I murmured.
“Doesn’t feel cold.”
“It’s cold,” Clay growled.
“I could start a fire.”
“I could start one, too,” Clay said. “With your clothes. Before you get them off.
Ox and Joe - Wolfsong by TJ Klune
"It’s not destiny, Ox. You’re not bound by this. Not yet. There’s a choice. There is always a choice. My wolf chose you. I chose you. And if you don’t choose me, then that’s your choice and I will walk out of here knowing you got to choose your own path. But I swear to god, if you choose me, I will make sure that you know the weight of your worth every day for the rest of our lives because that’s what this is. I am going to be a fucking Alpha one day, and there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you. It’s you, Ox. For me, it’s always been you.”
Trent Kalamack - The Hollows series by Kim Harrison
"The want for that kiss had shocked him more than the interruption, and he fell back into the chair, cool and nonchalant as Quen came in with his questions and demands. He wasn't sure if he believed he'd really helped, but one thing was very clear. He wanted that again, that feeling of standing with her against all odds and succeeding. He wanted it so bad, he was going to risk destroying everything he and his father had worked for. He should walk away. Right now. But as she was ushered out the door under David's arm, all he wanted to do was follow her. What the hell was he doing, falling in love with her"
Andrew Minyard - All For The Game by Nora Sakavic
"Andrew had nearly killed four men for assaulting Nicky and would have broken Allison's neck for hitting Aaron, but when it came to crimes against his own person Andrew couldn't care less. He held his life in less regard than he did anything else. Neil hated that with a ferocity that was nauseating."
Scarlet & Wolf - Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
"Wolf, are you asking me to be ... your alpha female?"
He hesitated.
Scarlet couldn't help it - she burst into laughter. "Oh - I'm sorry. That was mean. I know I shouldn't tease you about this."
Still grinning, she made to retract her hand, but he was suddenly gripping it, refusing to relinquish the touch. "You just look so scared, like I'm going to disappear any minute. We're stuck on a spaceship, Wolf. I'm not going anywhere."
His lips twitched, his nervousness beginning to ease away, though his hand stayed tense over hers.
"Alpha female," he murmured. "I sort of like that."
Beaming, Scarlet gave a mild shrug. "It could grow on me."
Percy Jackson - PJO series by Rick Riordan
"Very slowly, using only two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.
Octavian made a squeaking sound. “What was that for? I didn’t say toss it! That could’ve been evidence. Or spoils of war!”
Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.
“You other two…” He pointed his blade at Hazel and Piper. “Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus—”
All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth’s dagger.
“You dropped this,” he said, totally poker-faced"
It can be fun when it's fictional 😍🥰 Jimin and Jungkook aren't actually fictional though. They DID stare in 2 fictional stories though. HYYH BU and 7 fates: Chakho. And yes, all these recs above (except the last 2) have some toxic energy to them. Lol

The game is to share the last written line of one wip and tag as many people as there are words. Gonna cheat and give you three seperate wips and pick the shortest one, because the two I tried were too long and I started fretting I couldn’t think of enough people to tag.
‘Because,’ said Zee, ‘the last time I heard of a living omega, I was more in the habit of hunting werewolves than having lunch with them, and an insult to an omega would have brought every wolf in Europe down on my head from that moment until my last.’
From the one where Mercy Thompson meets Anna Cornick née Latham, tentatively titled Like A House On Fire (I’m inclined to think that particular phrase sums up Bran’s take on how those two would get on, in every sense).
She grabbed the ornaments before Mercy’s kicking could vibrate them right onto the floor, and steered one handed to the counter, wiggling the stroller on purpose so Mercy wouldn’t work herself into a fit of crying in public.
From the one where Mercy has five shitty christmases and one nice one (tentatively A Very Mercy Christmas). Marji Thompson’s a fun pov.
He tried, desperately, to think of something to say.
From the one where Fitzwilliam Darcy desperately tries, for years, to talk himself into marrying his cousin Anne (probably Future Perfect).
Tagging @freetoflythecrimsonsky @capablecapybara @amarguerite @rain-sleet-snow @fairy-anon-godmother @anghraine @starry-sky-stuff @marzipanandminutiae @marypsue and anyone else who would like to join in.

Anna and Charles are newly mated, though getting more used to each other every day. Weeks after the witch's attack in the mountains, Charles travels in Bran's stead to a summit with the European wolves to discuss the Marrok's plans to go public.
Anna expands her horizons, spending time with people other than Charles while the summit is happening. This gets somewhat disrupted by violence, kidnapping, and murder, but she has a lot of emotional growth even through all of that. Charles and Brother Wolf are adjusting to being mated to Anna and her wolf (who finally makes a more obvious appearance this time). I like many of the secondary characters, and this book has a lot of well-written antagonists (both obvious and subtle).
