AU August - Day One: Coffee Shop

*KICK DOWN THE DOOR*

... Did you miss me? It’s AU time... also, I’m going to be following the same list from last year (this one) because I didn’t come across another that really caught my eye. Also, I can actually do FFXIV fills this year haha!

But we start with ML as usual cheers!

Series: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: G+ Genre: Angst, Fluff Pairing(s): Cheesecake, Adrinette Summary: Cat-spresso Yourself is an adorable little cat café that serves up cute food with cute cat companions. However, it has closed for the day, but there seems to be one last visitor Warning: A part three to the previous two which can be found here and here! Also, implied abuse.

“Thank you! Have a good night!”

The doorbell to Cat-spresso Yourself chimed as Marinette’s last guests departed for the evening, and she let out a long breath. Yet another successful day - busier than usual given the overcast and later rain that had come. It drew in a crowd that wanted both to get out of the cold winds and icy sheets, and enter a realm warm and inviting; and her cats and sweets provided. Door locked, she began once more the arduous task of once again cleaning up for tonight and making preparations for tomorrow morning.

“Well, Tikki, think you can get Plagg into his bed again?” Marinette asked as she passed the calico sitting at the end of the counter. The calico - whom Marinette had finally decided to formally adopt as her own - gave a revving ‘mrr!’ in affirmation and hopped down from her powder pink cushion, red-and-black bell collar tinkling as she did so.

It was strange; Plagg seemed to be in a funk all day, but thinking back, it had been a while since his favorite customer had come in. Yes, Marinette had taken keynote in Adrien’s absence since he tried to make a habit of coming in at least once every two weeks, but they were going on to three. Biting her lip, she wondered if maybe there had been something in the news, but then thought again why would there be? He was a model and she did recall there was a show occurring in Germany; but she thought it would be over by now.

“I hope everything’s alright…”

Last she recalled seeing him, he was smiling, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

What was going on?

A bang on her front door nearly made her drop the teacup in her hand, fumbling it instead until she caught the handle. She let out a long, relieved exhale and raised her head with narrowed eyes. Catching sight of a hooded figure at her door, there was a brief chill down her spine, but with a swallow, she managed to steel herself.

“Sorry! We’re closed for the night! Please come back at nine tomorrow!”

She didn’t know if they heard her, but she assumed that maybe they had? They at least weren’t hitting her door again, but they weren’t leaving either. Instead, they remained there, standing underneath the awning which was slowly freaking Marinette out. This was how so many creepy internet stories started; she wondered if she should call the police.

“MIAOW!”

Plagg’s booming meow caused her to blink and look down. The reason she’d sent Tikki to herd Plagg was because she’d had no idea where the black furred void had gone, but he was apparently at the door, standing on his hind paws and… reaching? At the hooded figure? Did he recognize them? There was only one other person that Plagg liked though and they had been–

… Oh… Oh!

“Adrien!?”

And she did drop the teacup to rush over to the door, unlocking it to allow the figure - closer now, she could see the blonde hair hidden beneath his hood and his green eyes - inside. He was dripping water everywhere by the door, but Marinette just locked it again and told him to wait while she fetched a towel from the back. All the way and as she returned, she could hear Plagg’s startlingly deep and loud meow. Adrien had pulled his hood down by the time she came back which made his hair the perfect place to set the towel so he could start drying from top to bottom.

He flinched; why did he flinch?

“I’m sorry for… coming here so suddenly. I know it’s past your hours…” His voice was low, it could almost be deafened by the rain, and the towel further dampened his volume. With his head bowed too; and he wasn’t facing Marinette. Her brows furrowed as she tried to see him, but he seemed to be purposefully hiding himself. “I-I didn’t know where else to go.”

“... But… what about that girl, Kagami? Or Juleka?”

Adrien shook his head.

“She’s out of the country… and Juleka’s home isn’t one to stay in the same place.”

(If Marinette hadn’t met Juleka and her brother Luka again by this point, she might’ve been confused, but she knew the two lived on a houseboat.)

“Even if it was, I… didn’t think I could bother them,” he continued. “I… I honestly don’t know why I thought I could bother you either.”

“Hey… it’s not ‘bothering’ if we know each other…” Marinette tried to reassure, but he was right in a way. For the most part, he was a customer to her, but she did know quite a bit more about him than some others. She could call them well acquainted, maybe almost friends; but then her heart stopped when she finally got a peek at his face and her blood chilled.

Where… Who would…? 

She almost raised a hand to touch the red bruise on his face, but balled her hands to stop herself instead.

“... I have some spare space above the café if you’re wondering about staying. But wait here; I’m getting you something warm to drink first.”

“I… if it’s not imposing…”

“Not at all! Sit down and keep drying yourself off; I’ll be right back.”

And maybe in that time, she would be able to calm herself down while Tikki and Plagg took Adrien into their care.

Off the Path

“Oh my, what are you doing all the way out here?” The stranger’s voice was lilting and soft and pretty much danced across the wind and wrapped its way around Tango. As he turned to face the stranger he was met by a silhouette standing on a tree limb, their wings spread to block out the sun and cast shadows onto the forest floor. “You aren’t supposed to be here.”

AU August 2022 Day 2 - Artist Muse Part 2

Portrait of an Omega

Chapter One

Chapter Two

Progress on the portrait slowed down considerably, the artist too occupied with making love to his subject instead.  The slower the portrait gets completed, the longer the affair would last.  It turned out that the servants who attended Eren was loyal to the omega alone and assisted the lovers in their affair.  Eren always drinks a contraceptive tea after their activities, plus heat suppressants.  It seemed that Lord Tybur had more interest in his business ventures than his marriage, which is why Eren had been suppressing his heats since he got married.  Perhaps it was inevitable that Eren would break his wedding vows, to seek affection in the arms of an alpha who's not his husband.  Levi wondered about this, but Eren assured him that there was no one else before him.

The rest of the household servants don't seem to have any love lost for the lord of the manor either.  From the look of things, Lord Tybur usually takes the servants who are loyal to him on his business trips.  Lord Tybur, for his part, made himself scarce; barely coming home for a few days at a time between his business trips.  Levi found out from Eren that this is the usual pattern for him, and Levi thought that it's surely the reason why the omega would seek pleasure in the arms of another alpha, since his husband is clearly not doing his marital duties.

The times when Lord Tybur was not in residence was Levi's favorite, for he would sneak into the omega's room and continue their activities long into the night.  Tybur had been more and more distracted whenever he deigned to come home, and then almost immediately leaving again, citing "important business matters" every time.  It's not for Levi to judge why Tybur was so often gone, considering he is benefiting from it significantly.  More importantly, Eren had floated the idea of finally letting his heat run naturally and spending it with Levi.  

The thought of staying with Eren during his heat, and helping the omega through it as though he was the husband sent Levi to an euphoric state.  He almost forgot himself, behaving in ways that would have surely aroused suspicion.  But luckily for him, Tybur made himself scarce during the days leading to Eren's heat, so no discovery was made.

In no time at all, Eren's heat was upon them and with Tybur gone for the umpteenth time, Levi and Eren retired to the master bedroom.  Eren had been preparing for this day, and since he's letting his heat happen naturally, instincts led him to build a nest in the bedroom.  The room is covered in the omega's sweet scent, interlaced with his own scent that Levi surmises that come from articles of his own clothing that had been incorporated into the nest.  Their combined scent is driving Levi crazy, and he fell on the omega like a starving man.

Even though Levi had been having sex with Eren for weeks, being with the omega during his heat was akin to a religious experience for Levi.  Eren's flushed appearance makes him gave him an ethereal appearance, like a divine being, and Levi couldn't help but worship him.  The heat intensified everything for Levi, every taste and sensation; Eren writhed and moaned underneath him so prettily, the heat affecting the omega even more.  They started on the bed and soon managed to christen every surface in the bedroom.  

Levi has some awareness that when he and Eren finally managed to sleep between bouts of heat driven lust, the room gets cleaned by the servants and food, water and bathing supplies gets brought in.  The bathtub that was brought into the room was big enough to fit the two of them, and bathing together became one of their favorite activities.  For Levi, there's something specially about making an absolute mess out of Eren, and then cleaning him up, with utmost reverence.  Although it frequently devolves into more sex in the bath.

---

Levi spent a blissful week with Eren, fucking and breeding the omega through his heat, but reality intruded at last when Eren's personal maid informed them that Lord Tybur would be returning home that evening.  It was a desperate scramble to make sure the house and especially the master bedroom is back in the state it was, erasing the evidence of Eren's infidelity.  Since Eren had been suppressing his heat, it has lasted longer than he'd anticipated, and now he's face with the prospect of spending the last days with his husband rather than his lover.

Through the tremendous efforts of the servants, Tybur found nothing amiss.  Distracted as he was with his business ventures, even he couldn't resist an omega in heat and decided to stay and attend to his wife.  Eren's cover story for why he's letting his heat run naturally instead of suppressing it like he had been doing was that his physician advised him that omegas should let their heats run at least once a year.  Tybur didn't care about omega matters and believed him, and Eren also managed to get Tybur to believe that he had been suffering alone for days.  The affair with the painter was completely covered up.

Levi, having been kicked out of bed, so to speak, was inspired to finish the portrait, to preserve the divine beauty of that experience for all time.  Working on the portrait also served to keep his mind off things, especially the excruciating knowledge that Tybur is in his rightful place in Eren's bed as the omega's husband.  Levi spends the rest of Eren's heat in a manic state, making the portrait as perfect as possible.  

Luckily, Eren's heat lasts only two more days.  The omega surfaced from his heat addled state to an empty bed, an unwelcome reminder that his blissful experience with his lover was interrupted by his husband returning.  Knowing Willy, he's probably already gone to whatever he was doing on his business trips.  Eren had not doubt that his husband probably has a mistress out there.  When Eren emerged from the bedroom to the dining room, he was surprised that Willy was still in the house, though he was already dressed in traveling clothes.

He was talking to Levi, and the completed portrait is laid out on the table.  It was magnificent.  Tybur was extremely satisfied with it and was arranging the payment for Levi for the completion.  Eren's heart sank, the portrait being finished means Levi has no reason to stay and therefore have to leave.  It means Eren will be all alone again, with his husband returning home sporadically.  Tybur, having settled his bill with Levi, left home without as much of a glance at Eren.  

---

Things moved fast after that.  Levi had to pack his things since he's finished with the job he's been hired to do, and it would be suspicious if overstayed his welcome.  He packed as slowly as possibly, citing the fact that his art supplies are delicate and need to be packed gently.  This bought him an entire day to plan with Eren on how to continue their affair.  They would write to each other of course, and Eren would also find some excused to visit the city and they would rendezvous there.  The only silver lining would be that Eren's husband is negligent enough that the risk of discovery is low.

A month after Levi finally moved back to his home, he receives several important pieces of news at once.  First, Eren was pregnant, the timing could only be because of his heat.  There's a chance that the baby is his, but the second piece of news pushed that idea out of Levi's mind: Tybur was murdered by gangs during one of his trips to the city, and he was picked clean of money and valuables.  This leaves Eren a widow, who stands to inherit the Lord's immense wealth.

Levi sat down on his chair heavily, he could hardly believe his luck.  Eren's husband is dead, Eren can marry him now, he never thought it could happen and that he's doomed to want an omega who can never be his.  Levi immediately packed his bags, no doubt that many alphas would soon be on Eren's doorstep.  Eren's status as a young, wealthy widow as attractive as his looks.

Tybur's manservant that often accompanied him on his trips was severely wounded, but miraculously recovered; and he started talking.  It turns out that Tybur was involved in some shady dealing with organized crime syndicates in the city, which is why he is often away on business trips.  Tybur started spending way more in the city than at home when he begun an affair with the crime boss's wife.  He lost them a great deal of money, plus the affair was discovered, so they killed him in retaliation.  

The execution of Tybur's estate was a messy affair, and it was discovered that he was in deep dept, which was why he was dealing with the criminals in the first place, hoping to score some easy money.  When it was all settled, most of the estate was sold off to pay his debts, but Eren managed to get his dowry back, and enough money to live nicely if not lavishly for the rest of his life.

A year later, after the appropriate morning period was finished, Eren remarried to a certain renowned painter and became pregnant again soon after.  If anyone noticed that Eren's firstborn looks more like his stepfather that his late father, nobody commented.

I would love a little something of either Pirate!Trent and Pirate!Ted or Club Owner!Ed and Excitable Coach!Stede.

Three weeks into his kidnapping, Captain Trent Crimm, formerly of HMS Independent, had to conclude that Ted Lasso really was the worst pirate who had ever sailed the seven seas. That he had still managed to kidnap Trent was beside the point.

“I mean, I know that raid didn’t go the way we planned it,” Ted was saying, “but all of this ain't about the booty to me, 'cause that ain't how we measure success, right?" 

“Damn it!” yelled the quartermaster, whom everyone called Beard and whose Christian name Trent had yet to figure out. “It is, Ted! It is about the booty!”

“He has a point, you know,” said Trent. 

“Thank you, random hostage whose feedback I did not ask for,” said Beard. He paused. “Why is the hostage up on deck, again?”

“I’m all for constructive criticism,” said Ted. “Trent here brings a perspective from the other side of the industry we don’t often get to hear, mainly ‘cause they’re trying to blow us to bits.”

“I can go back in the brig if you like, if this is awkward,” offered Trent.

“I mean, you really don’t have to,” said Ted.

“Um, no, he kind of fucking does,” barked Roy Kent, the bosun. “Because that’s what you do with hostages, you put them in the fucking brig or next thing you know, they’ve stuck you in the gut and nicked your dinghy and there’s you bleeding out on your own deck like an absolute knob.”

“I mean, we are miles from any shore, so it’s not like I would get very far in a dinghy,” Trent pointed out, “but, you know what, I’m just going to go lock myself in.”

It had all started because of the kidnapping of the Governor's wife. A whole swathe of the Navy had had to be sent out after her, including the Independent, which had in fact caught up with the Greyhound, and would probably have taken her too, if a Spanish frigate had not chosen that very moment to intervene. In the ensuing fracas, the Independent had been sunk and Trent left for dead, only to wake up days later to find himself under the scrutiny of the missing governor’s wife and the world’s worst pirate.

It turned out that Lady Mannion had hired some clodhopper out of Kansas to stage her kidnapping. Trent didn’t know anything about Kansas, beyond the fact that it was landlocked, which explained a lot about Ted. Trent wasn’t even sure how the Greyhound was still afloat. It probably had something to do with them having an actually decent navigator, one Nathan Shelley, whom Trent was fairly sure had been a cabin boy just last week. 

And so they sailed on, weaving across the Caribbean, conspicuously failing to take prizes along the way. The ship seemed to be funded by the considerable wealth the former Lady Mannion had absconded with, which was perhaps the real reason why the Governor had been so keen to retrieve her. (He had remarried rather quickly, to a young miss barely out one season in Nassau society.) The crew of the Greyhound did not seem inclined to murder or ransom Trent, who was mildly insulted at first, because surely he must be a hostage of some value. But all Ted did was invite him occasionally to his cabin for "chats". Trent expected interrogation or torture, but it really did seem like all Ted wanted to do was chat. On the last occasion, he had regaled a bewildered Trent with numerous fascinating facts about the migratory patterns of swifts. Trent had to admit it was the most relaxing time he had had in twenty years with the Navy, which, if he was being honest, had begun to wear on him somewhat.

Trent let himself back into the brig, which was nominally guarded by Dani Rojas. Most of the time, Trent sat around reading a book while Dani juggled knives and cheerfully sang shanties in Spanish outside. The knifework, Dani had blithely informed him when they met, was in aid of his quest to avenge the murder of his father by a six-fingered brigand, because “Revenge is life!”

“I think you’ll find, actually, that it’s the opposite,” Trent had observed.

This had given Dani pause. “You mean revenge is death?”

“I’m afraid so.”

Dani had mulled this over. “But until death happens, revenge is life!”

“Fine. Whatever floats your boat.”

Eventually Ted came down to see him. “Take a break, Dani.”

“I shall never break, capitán!”

“Right. Okay. Uh, go swab the deck or something.”

“Aye aye, capitán! You say it, I do it!”

Ted pulled up a chair outside. “First off, Trent, I’m real sorry that we’ve inconvenienced you like this.”

Trent reached for a bookmark. “This. This is why people keep saying you’re the worst pirate in the world, Ted. If all a pirate has done is inconvenience, then they’re severely underachieving.”

Ted brushed that off. “If it were up to me, we’d drop you off at the nearest port, no hard feelings.”

Trent sighed. “I’d probably get court-martialled if I went back at this point. The Navy isn't terribly forgiving, you know.”

“Darn,” said Ted, sincerely horrified. “It’s worse than I thought.”

“Never mind.” Trent flapped a hand wearily. “Just leave it.”

“But you must have a family to get back to.”

“I have a young daughter in England, who is doubtlessly profiting handsomely from my pension,” said Trent. He ignored the pang he always felt when speaking of Agatha, who must have nearly no memory of him given all the time he had spent away from her at sea. “It may in fact be in her best interests for the Royal Navy to continue to think of me as dead.” He glanced at Ted, who seemed deep in thought. “Do you have any children?”

“I got a son back in Kansas,” admitted Ted. “But I, ah. I left him to go to sea.”

“Ah,” said Trent.

“Anyway,” Ted went on, collecting himself, “I’m real glad, actually, to hear you’ll be sticking around for the next part of the plan.”

“What plan?” said Trent narrowly.

“Rebecca’s idea, really. You’ll be pleased to hear we’ll be leaving the raiding behind, since, like you've said, we ain't so great at it. Next, we’ll be taking Nassau.”

“Nassau,” repeated Trent. “The port run by her husband, the Royal Governor of the Bahamas, that Nassau.”

“Yep,” said Ted. “Rebecca sees it as, let’s just say, a Nassau-sary course of action.”

“You’re a fucking lunatic,” said Trent. “I absolutely hate it.”

Ted beamed. “No you don’t.”

“I do,” lied Trent. “But tell me more.”

I keep thinking of a scenario before my S/I becomes a Harbinger where she’s having a terrible night sleeping (whether nightmares or she’s anxious about a mission she’s going on or w/e) but it quickly becomes daylight and she hasn’t really slept much. This is before Signora and her really start to view each other as siblings (or around the beginning of that?) but she leaves her room only to hear that all the Harbingers are in a meeting (or like a good portion of them if not all - mainly since Childe mentioned that they haven’t seen Pierro much & he only shows up on important occasion so it depends on the why of the meeting).

Either she accidentally makes enough noise to draw everyone’s attention or Signora figures out that she’s there somehow (like through a window into the room or something?) and Signora calls her over - essentially pausing the meeting for this. Signora acts completely different with April than she does with the other Harbingers (her voice becoming a lot warmer & softer) and she cares more about soothing April than her reputation.

This either ends with her sending April to her room with promises she’ll be there once the meeting’s over or her holding April in her lap for the rest of the meeting, glaring at any Harbinger that dares question it. (& if Scara’s at this meeting, which he likely is, he doesn’t care that much about it but it’s April’s first time seeing him & she thinks he’s pretty <3 - she brings it up to him later and he does remember it but is all like ‘that was you??’)

Alphinaud Leveilleur (1560 6AE - 91 7AE)

Detail from untitled portrait c. 8 7AE Oil on canvas

Believed to be the only surviving portrait of the Warrior of Light painted in her lifetime. Leveilleur’s journals indicate he was commissioned by Hagane to paint herself and her new husband as a wedding gift. While several postmortem depictions of the Warrior of Light exist, she was reported to refuse most attempts to capture her image in public works. Historians believe this resistance to be a product of the fear of iconography fueling primal summonings, which were rampant for the first decade of the Seventh Astral Era.

AU August - Day Eleven: Role Reversal

Miiight’ve done a little more than role reversal. Probably could’ve left G’raha as a miqo’te and the twins as elezen, but /loud shrug

So I had some thoughts about how thorough this reversal would be and well...

G’raha’s still a member of the Circle of Knowing, a Scion, and works on and off with the Students of Baldesion. Idolizes Louisoix, best friends with Krile, and is pretty much siblings with the twins since he was present when they were brought to Sharlayan. He would have to have that similar growth from trying to be seen as a hero and saving the realm like Alphinaud did (without being so haughty about it, G’raha’s got more of an almost wide-eye, excited approach to it and misses the signs of the Crystal Braves going behind his back by being distracted by things like Coils, etc.) while leading/working with the Warrior of Light.

Meanwhile, Alphinaud and Alisaie are practically adopted by Ameliance (with Fourchenault having to just say yes) when taken away from Corvos and their tribe. Alphinaud’s still studious, researching Allag and the Eyes, and so is Alisaie, but she liked listening to all the adventure stories G’raha would tell them. She always makes faces at the atrocities Allag committed, considers what better uses their technology could be applied to which affects how they both apply their magicks later in life. Despite mixed feelings, they’ll do what they must to save the world... which they are still teenagers when sealed away, have fun with that trauma three-hundred years later on another shard.

... And if you think about it, them both taking on the Eyes in place of Doga and Unei... and then definitely Palom and Porom at the end of alternate Shadowbringers... love the angst potential, do you see why I have to change it this much? Also, c’mon, the twins as miqo’te? Too cute. Also, the hilarity of trying to figure out that there’s two Crystal Exarchs because they’re never in the same place for the longest time.

AU August 2022 Day 2 - Artist's Muse

Portrait of an Omega

Summary: Lord Willy Tybur commissions artist Levi to paint a portrait of his wife, Eren.  The artist and the subject fall in love.

Chapter One

Levi Ackerman, a renowned portrait painter arrived at the home of his latest client.  He's been commissioned to paint Lord Tybur's new wife.  Levi's the go to portrait painter for the powerful and wealthy, as such, he's become quite wealthy himself.  Lord Tybur's manor is clear in the countryside and far from the city, where he resides.  Normally, he did not like taking commissions that would force him to travel too far, but Tybur's new wife was rumored to be a renowned beauty, the most desirable omega in the country.  Levi was intrigued about the famous omega, so he agreed to take on this job.

The Tybur estate was huge and there were many servants.  Levi's carriage stopped at the gate, and he was ushered into the main estate by half a dozen servants, helping him to take his art supplies inside.  The butler greeted him at the estate's door, and he was brought to the study to meet the lord of the manor.

"Ah, Master Ackerman, so good to see you."  Lord Tybur greeted him.  "I must introduce you to my wife, your subject for the next few weeks."

Levi's eyes went to the figure seated on a chair and his breath stopped.  The omega before him was the most exquisite creature he'd ever seen.  The first thing he noticed about the omega was his eyes, they are the loveliest shade of blue green, like a warm tropical sea that Levi could drown in.  His hair is a rich, chestnut brown that's done in an elaborate updo held together with bejeweled hairpins and a comb.  Lady Tybur's clothes is similarly rich as his hair ornaments, the dress he's wearing is made of the finest silks and perfectly tailored to his body, accentuating his lovely figure.  For a wild moment, Levi was thinking about challenging Tybur to a duel for his wife.

Tybur, blissfully unaware of Levi's increasing covetous thoughts, introduced his wife as Eren.  Levi committed the name to memory and noted to himself to get a few extra portraits of the omega for personal use.  During the introductions, Eren's eyes met Levi's from across the room.  Levi felt a shiver of excitement run down his spine.  The way the omega didn't immediately lower his eyes filled Levi with hope, maybe the interest isn't so one-sided.

The next week saw Levi move his studio into Lord Tybur's manor.  It was Eren's idea, he implored his husband that the artist shouldn't spend so much time traveling and that the lord should give the artist room and board until the painting's finished, so that the master can concentrate on his craft and not worry about mundane things.  Servants should also not disturb the painting sessions unless directly summoned.  Lord Tybur immediately agreed, used to giving only the best things to his wife.

Levi was grateful that he was able to have a substantial amount of alone time with Eren, in the interest of not disturbing the artist at work.  He can drool over the omega without any servants sticking their noses where they don't belong.  

Eren has some ideas about what his portrait should be like and made his opinions known the first time he sat down for the portrait.  Levi had never been so productive in his life.  In addition to making progress on Eren's portrait, the omega provided inspiration for many ideas, and he filled three sketch books in less than a month.

It's getting harder and harder to simply look at Eren every day and not touch the omega.  Each night, Levi's plagued with dreams, each more erotic than the next.  Each morning, Levi wakes up disappointed that Eren wasn't his.  Levi discovered that Eren was not the typical demure omega wife of a Lord.  The omega was very opinioned and outspoken and also very exacting with it comes to his portrait; the painter unable to proceed until everything was perfect to the last detail.  

Levi was glad for this because it would mean that work on the portrait is slow going, and he has a chance to be alone with Eren for longer.  Frequently, they would be lost in conversation, the portrait forgotten.  It took two weeks for Levi to realize that Eren's pickiness was a delaying tactic, and that the omega was also trying to keep the painter on site for as long as possible.  After this realization, the conversation between them became bolder and less appropriate, revealing forbidden desires.

"What would you do to me if I'm your omega?"  Eren asked one day.  Lord Tybur was away on a business trip to the capital and the time was ripe to act upon their feelings.  They've been dancing around each other for a month, since the painter moved into the manor so he could devote all his time to paint the portrait.

"I would certainly not go on business trips and leave my omega alone with a strange alpha."  Levi replied, attempting to concentrate on his work, but failing, for the anticipation was too great.  Eren was already scantily clad in loose robes instead the buttoned up, conservative fashion of the day.  They decided that the portrait should be that of a fantasy setting.  The omega now started to take his clothes off, until only a see-through shift was left, leaving very little to the imagination.

Levi, who's already hard, took off his own clothes in record time.  He stalked toward the omega and finally put his hands on him.  Levi carried Eren toward the bed at a corner of the room, it was moved into the room as a possible prop, now it will find use for something else.  Levi gently laid Eren down into the bed and pulled off his shift so that the omega's body is finally bared to him.  Levi lowered his head until their lips met, finally consummating their attraction.

The artist's canvas lies forgotten in the great room, as the erotic sounds of lovemaking filled the room.  The alpha head is buried between the omega's legs, his tongue lapping up the omega's slick.  The omega sobbed as he's driven to distraction by the alpha's tongue, and soon was overtaking by pleasure, coming on the alpha's tongue alone.

Levi quickly positioned himself on top of Eren, and lined his cock up with the omega's cunt.  Their eyes locked, and when Eren indicated he's ready, Levi pushed himself inside, bottoming out with a groan.  The omega felt heavenly and judging by Eren's moans, the sentiment is reciprocated.  When Eren gave the indication to move, Levi started pounding into the heavenly heat.  Levi's been fantasizing about this moment ever since he's laid eyes on Eren, and he's going to savor every moment of this.  Eren apparently had a different idea and he pushed Levi into a sitting position so he could climb on his lap and rode his cock.   This new position allowed Levi access to the omega's chest, to which he took shameless advantage.  He started teasing Eren's nipples, laving his tongue and lightly nipping with his teeth.  This drew a lustful moan from the omega, and he stopped his movements.  Levi then flipped Eren on his hands and knees in no time, he's thrusting into the omega's tight cunt again.  This time, Eren moved his hips back to meet Levi's thrusts.  Soon, Eren came with a wail, squirting slick all over Levi's cock.  Levi's movements were erratic, he too was close.  

Levi's knot formed as he came inside Eren, locking them together.  As he flooded the omega's insides with his seed, an immense sense of satisfaction filled the alpha.  He collapsed on Eren's back, his nose on the omega's scent gland.  With tremendous will power, Levi refrained from biting the omega's neck.  Instead, after his knot went down, he got dressed and helped Eren into his robes.
