i’m never going to be normal about how d2 guns and armor are named. they’re so fucking COOL even when i don’t know 100% what the guns are named after. they’re just so goddamn cool sounding in name and when fired like. if you asked for a list of cool d2 weapon names i would simply open the collections tab of all of them.

i can't stop thinking about diabetic Copia. I hate to be that person, but maybe some more diabetic Copia? 👉👈
Sure!
Copia has a habit of going high when it comes to his blood sugars. He loves carbs, what can he say?
If he does go high, all of the ghouls scrunch up their noses and pull faces. Poor Rain gags at the smell every time, walks off until Copia fixes his bloods. To them, it smells sickly sweet. They can smell the pheromones on Copia's body, on his breath.
When Copia goes high, he gets really dizzy, his head aches, and he's parched. Seeing Copia chug bottles of water outside of performing are sure signs that his sugars are high.
If he's on tour, he'll usually lay down on a sofa backstage (before the show, but after he's eaten) and hold an arm over his eyes, wait for the room to stop spinning.
The ghouls never stay away from him for long, so they come marching into his dressing room soon after, with a view to annoy Copia. But they all freeze as soon as they smell his scent.
Rain gags and walks straight back out. Aether and Cirrus both look at each other and sigh tiredly. Swiss goes "Fuck!" exasperatedly. Mountain mumbles that he has his backup Copia Kit (that's what they call his glucometer kit) always on his person, if needed. Cumulus tuts in sympathy, while covering her nose with her hand. Dew grumbles in frustration.
"Papa, do you know you're high?"
"No, no, I just have a headache..."
"What did you have for dinner?"
"Carbonara... Garlic bread..."
"PAPA."
"It tasted too good, I couldn't resist. It was just a little treat..."
"Did you do your shot before eating?"
"Ehhh... The food came quicker than planned, I didn't have time..."
"PAPA. You always have time."
"Yes, yes..." (dismissive hand wave)
Aether sits by Copia on the sofa, uses the lance from Mountain's kit to check his bloods. They all know he's high, but they can't pinpoint the exact glucose concentration in his blood. Aether always has a little game in his head, he tries to predict Copia's sugar levels before it flashes up on the screen. This time, he predicted 8.5 and Copia was 8. Close, and thankfully not as bad as he thought.
In the meantime, Dew starts to prep Copia's insulin while grumbling in annoyance to himself. Copia knows what will send him into a hyper, and yet occasionally, he still eats carbs and sugars like a starved man.
They always make sure there's a bottle of insulin in the minifridge in Copia's dressing room, and a sharps box on one of the counters. A couple of venue staff have given him weird looks for having a sharps container in his dressing room out of context.
While Aether takes Copia's bloods, he tells Dew exactly how much insulin needs to be drawn up. They're all trained in what to do if Copia goes into a hypo or a hyper, but having Aether there, who's a Ministry infirmary medic when he's not touring, helps keep them on track.
The other ghouls stand close by Copia, wanting to show that they're there for him, but unable to get too close due to the smell. Cumulus steps over, her shirt pulled up over her nose and mouth, and strokes Copia's hair soothingly. She's pulling a face behind the shirt, and keeps coughing.
When Dew comes over with the capped needle, Aether gives him a look and asks him if he wants Aeth to inject Papa. Dew shakes his head silently and pulls up Copia's sweatshirt.
Him laying down isn't the best position to inject in, the skin on his tummy is pulled quite taught, but Copia would flop over if he tried to sit up right now. Dew uncaps the needle and pinches a roll of fat, trying to go somewhere that doesn't have too many track marks, and injects in that area.
Copia hisses and Dew mutters a quiet "That's what you get for not carb counting properly..."
Once the insulin has been infused, Swiss holds out the sharps bin for Dew, and then they all sit and wait for Copia's blood sugars to come down. It usually takes between fifteen to twenty minutes, and the pack don't leave him alone during that time. Just in case they haven't dosed the insulin correctly.
During the waiting period, the ghouls keep themselves entertained. They play a card game, scroll on their phones, chat quietly (Copia's hypers and hypos always make him sensitive to sound). As his sugars slowly drop, checked every ten minutes by Aether, the ghouls slowly shuffle closer to Copia, his scent returning to normal.
By the time he's back down at a normal sugar level, Rain's been invited back into the room, and the ghouls have climbed onto the sofa for a cuddle with Copia,
Dew grumbles to Copia (from where he's curled up on his chest) to never let himself get that high again. He was worried about him.
Copia nods, and agrees that carbonara is off the menu. For now.

jack and sally // daniel ricciardo
Tumblr media
summary: scotty and chloe are throwing a halloween party, and danny and y/n think they've got the best couples costume in the entire party.
pairing: daniel ricciardo x female reader
warnings: pumpkin spice condoms ( don't ask, it will all make sense later ), talks of getting married. danny does a striptease and is wine drunk.
authors note: see this reference for costumes. ALSO thank you so much for 550 followers, this truly is such a surreal thing for me !
y/n y/l/n smiled to herself as she stepped out of the shower, toweling off and wrapping her body in the pale purple satin robe hanging from the back of the door as she blow-dried her hair.
halloween was her favourite time of year, and the fully-decorated vineyard house in monaco that she shared with her boyfriend of five years proved it. every available surface was covered in bats or pumpkins or ghouls.
she opened the medicine cabinet to find her bath and body works perfume when she stopped, her eyes catching on something that rested on daniel's side of the cupboard. curious, she reached for the orange box, scanning the label with a snort before she spun on her heel and walked back out towards the master bedroom.
"pumpkin spice condoms? seriously, daniel?"
daniel laughed, half dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed with his phone. "what, it's festive!"
"it's tacky." y/n rolled her eyes, throwing the orange box at him. "jesus christ, why am i still dating you?"
"because i'm charming, funny and give really good head?"
"fuck off." y/n giggled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "i love you anyways, dumbass."
giggling still, daniel got to his feet, scooping y/n up in his arms, pressing a kiss to her lips before sitting on the bed and rolling over so that the aussie was on top.
"how about we try them out?" he raised an eyebrow, lifting up the box. "you know, see if they're really as tacky as they sound."
she kissed him on the nose. "sorry, cowboy. we have a halloween party to get ready for."
daniel groaned, flopping onto the bed. since the mclaren decision had come down, and his season got progressively worse, daniel had stopped wanting to go out, his usual sparkle a little duller.
but it was soctty and chloe who were throwing the party. aside from chloe's brother lance, there wasn't going to be a single person there who was connected to the racing world.
y/n thought that it might do danny some good to get back out there and clear his head. she'd been with him since the year that he left red bull, and she had never seen him as discouraged as he had been since he started driving for zak brown and his papaya team.
"why are we getting ready this early? there's still three hours left."
"the costumes and makeup, silly. a lot of work goes into looking as good as we do." y/n laughed, tapping the end of danny's nose.
begrudgingly, daniel resigned himself to the fact that there was nothing he could say or do to change y/n's mind about the costume or how long it would take to prepare it.
the couple ( or moreover, y/n ) had decided to go as jack and sally from the nightmare before christmas. y/n was very festive, especially when halloween rolled around. chloe had insisted on having a costume contest at the party, and y/n's competitive streak was coming out.
she did daniel's makeup first, knowing that trying to do makeup on another person was considerably harder than trying to do it for herself.
the mclaren driver was a good sport about the entire thing, especially for a man who didn't want to go to the party in the first place. she perched herself next to him on the edge of the bed, hair still soaked and dressed in her silk robe as she opened up the palette, dabbing the white face paint onto daniel's skin to transform him into the pumpkin king.
she used her liquid eyeliner to draw jack skellington's crooked smile across the driver's cheeks, and dark eyeshadow in circles around his eyes before adding the sliver glitter spray into his abundance of curls before she ruffled his hair, flecks of glitter falling onto the duvet as daniel leaned over and pressed a kiss to her lips.
"daniel!" she complained. "you're going to smudge it!"
"does it matter? the guy is a skeleton anyways!"
still giggling, she shooed daniel towards the walk in closet before taking a seat at the vanity mirror to set about doing her own makeup.
it took just under an hour to do danny's.
it only took y/n half that to do her own from the youtube tutorial before she began to straighten her hair and dust her face with glittery setting powder so that she sparkled under the light.
when daniel came back out of the walk-in, y/n's first instinct was to tell him how hot he looked. and then she needed to fix the bowtie, which the driver had done up wrong despite it being velcro.
she chuckled to herself as she undid and redid the costume tie before kissing her lover gently on the cheek, then rubbing away the purple lipstick mark before she went to put sally's patchwork dress on.
once the couple were ready to go, y/n insisted on all the customary couple's photos in the mirror. when it came to doting boyfriend activities, daniel ricciardo was a shockingly good sport, holding y/n close as they stared into each other's eyes for the photo.
she pressed up on her tiptoes, gently sinking her lips against his now that she knew all the lipsticks and face paints were dry.
"i love you." she said simply.
"love you too, darling. now, we have a costume contest to go win."
y/n beamed. "an hour ago, you didn't want to go."
"i changed my mind when i saw you smile."
___________
daniel ricciardo was actually enjoying himself. their competition for the contest was quite something. they were up against daphne and fred from scooby doo, uma thurman and john travolta in pulp fiction, baby and johnny from dirty dancing and a few disney princess couplings. there was also one couple who went as johnny cash and june carter, in costumes so good that for a second y/n thought that they had lost.
but alas, mostly due to y/n's rapidly developing makeup skills, jack and sally were crowned the winners.
daniel and y/n were sitting with chloe and scotty, as well as lance and his girlfriend and a round table towards the back of the garden, talking somehow about anything and nothing at the same time.
daniel had never felt more at ease.
"oh come on, who plays bryan adams at a halloween party? there's nothing spooky about a canadian country singer." y/n complains later, glass of seltzer in her hand.
"um, 'reckless' is a classic album. and he's not a country singer." chloe laughed, a little buzzed and wine drunk.
"i think he is, clo." scotty rebutted with a small laugh. the snowboarder and his fiancee were so in love, and y/n sometimes wondered if that's what she a daniel looked like to outsiders, even though the aussie hadn't gotten his ass in gear and bought her a ring yet.
daniel laughs, getting to his feet. "come on, darling, don't be a buzzkill." he crosses to y/n side of the circular table, extending a hand. "can i have this dance, my pumpkin queen?"
y/n laughed. "danny, come on."
"i'm serious! what, am i not allowed to dance with my girlfriend?"
she took daniel's hand in her and allowed him to lead her out to the middle of chloe and scotty's backyard, with 'cuts like a knife' playing in the background as they rocked back and forth, y/n trying her hardest not to break out into a giggling fit.
"are you glad i made you come to the party?" y/n asked, eyebrows raised under the orange pumpkin lights.
daniel rolled his eyes. "of course i am. i'm with you, and i could never hate being anywhere with you."
y/n giggled as daniel took her hand and spun her around during the guitar solo before he pulled her close again. even with her platform heels, y/n was still almost a head shorter than the australian.
"have you ever thought about getting married?" y/n asked quietly, still thinking about scotty and chloe. "like, the two of us, settling down?"
daniel looked down at her, gently kissing y/n's hairline. "of course i have. i just wasn't sure if you were ready for it? i know that big things like that make you anxious. i think that if we did get married, it would be something quiet and low-key. just us, and a very small wedding party. our parents. maybe on the farm in perth. you in white, i'd put my cowboy boots on under my jeans."
y/n chuckled, stepping back slightly and cupping daniel's cheek. "i think i'd really like that. whenever you're ready, just let me know."
and then they kissed, backlit by jack o lanterns and country music.
y/n smiled. "did we just agree to get married spontaneously without a proposal or a ring or anything?"
"i think we did." danny chuckled. "imagine how funny it would be if we didn't tell anybody until after the wedding."
"hush. let me enjoy our dance. it's just practice for the real thing, now."
___________
they would drunkenly stumble back into the ranch house hours later, giggling and blushy, arms around each other as they tried to stay upright.
"babe," daniel managed through laughter. "take your shoes off or you aren't even going to make it up the stairs."
y/n leaned against the off-white wall, almost hitting her head on a picture frame housing a picture of her and danny from monza in 2021, his last win. she had her arms around his neck, half on his back as he tried to hold up the sign that triumphantly read 'daniel p1'.
where had things with mclaren gone so wrong?
the couple stumbled up the small flight of stairs to their bedroom, where y/n perched delicately on the edge of the bed, leaning against a pillow as she watched daniel begin to undress.
catching her movement out of the corner of his eye, daniel turned around with a grin.
"like what you see?"
"fuck off."
taking the joke in stride, he reached for his phone, putting on a sultry sounding blues song, swaying his hips back and forth as he took off the pinstriped suit jacket.
with a drunken giggle, y/n realized exactly what daniel was doing.
and she'd be damned if she said his little striptease wasn't working as the aussie got closer and closer to the bed, y/n's eyes drawn in as daniel began to move his shoulders to the music, nimble fingers undoing the snap on the tie before he began to undo the dress shirt.
she felt bad for giggling before, but this just made her holler in laughter. she knew it must have been the alcohol speaking.
"daniel joseph ricciardo, loving you is going to be the death of me." she grins, pulling him in by the belt loops before getting to her feet and pressing a kiss to his lips. "let's go wash off the makeup, lover boy. then we can put on our pajamas, get nice and cozy in the bed, and then you can fuck me like i know you've wanted to do all night."
internally, daniel groaned. "you're making me wait even longer?"
"i'm not sleeping in this makeup, danny. it's not good for my skin."
"as long as you put on the sexy pajamas, i'm all in."
"you think all of my pajamas are sexy."
"that's because you're wearing them."

The Predator Café - Chapter 7
(Trigger Warning: Violence, Injury)
Panic, rage, fear and white-hot fury swirled within Natasha's chest.
The outside world began to fade out until all that was within her sight was that remnant of clothing that was unmistakably her friend's as the edges of her vision became a black halo around this tenuous link to Pip.
She could hear naught but the roar of her heartbeat as she began to hyperventilate.
The next thing she was aware of was being inside the Café, standing in front of her boss. She watched herself as if from above near the ceiling; she demanded if he'd seen Pip enter, he was denying this and shaking his head. She could see herself asking if he was certain. The man confirmed that the smaller Prey entrance hadn't been opened since the lunch time rush.
She 'blinked' and was already halfway home in a full sprint.
Their voice, crystal clear, repeated in her head. '...your 'Prey' won't escape...'; her blood boiled and her jaw ached from clenching her teeth.
Bursting into her home she stalked from one dark room to the other, pacing in impotent rage and fear.
She stopped at the kitchen, the cold pasta still sat in a pot on the hob. Her mind cleared instantly; Pip was in danger and she had to protect him. She was getting him back, there was no doubt in her mind for a single second that she'd get him back or she'd pull their god-damned spines out.
She'd have to be smart about this.
The police were as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. If she rang them, they'd turn it into a hostage situation that would leave Pip in even greater danger. Her lawyer had even said that they'd never retrieved any of the previous victims alive...
“...fucking ghouls ate the evidence...” she realised with horror.
Her lawyer though? She was capable; she could call in the cavalry while Natasha bought them time on the inside. Natasha had never been one to sit on the sidelines when someone else was in trouble; especially one of her own. She'd learnt over a long childhood in the slums that sometimes one had to take things into their own hands; to stack the deck in their favour.
Their whispering came back to haunt her from the darkness that surrounded her; 'When you’re ready, go to the sub-station near the park. Knock once.'
“When I'm ready? Oh I'll get ready boys. I'll be good ‘n ready...”
===
Pip woke in a cloying darkness that made it hard to breathe.
When he did try to take a deep breath, pain lanced through his side causing him to flinch which only hurt the mammal further. He tried to remain still and take damp shallow gulps of air as he came to realise that he was contained within a sack of some kind.
He assumed he was on the floor as it was hard and cold beneath him. He thought it would be better for whoever had him to believe he was still unconscious so made a point to remain as still as possible while he tried to listen for voices or a clue as to what was around him.
Panic bubbled just below the surface, it threatened to rise up and drown him if not for the mantra that he repeated to himself that just had to keep calm and he would find an opportunity to escape. His entire childhood had been training him through established methods of how to keep safe in a world that wasn't a Prey's.
Many of them were pointless now; stay in lit areas, stay in communication with people, arm yourself. His best hope now was to find a chance to get distance between his captors and either hide where they couldn't reach him or out run them.
A nasally voice, moving closer to where he lay, broke the silence.
“Do we know if she's coming?”
A gruff voice replied a moment later.
“She'll be coming, sooner rather than later. I don't know much about these Humans but they don't look like the kind to give up on Prey.” A mirthless chuckle escaped the gruff voice. “If I haven't missed my mark, I'm willing to bet she'd chase this meat for forever.”
The nasally voice seemed unconvinced and to Pip struck him as a minion rather than a mastermind.
“Yeah, but what if.. what if she-”
“Shut up.” The gruff voice stated flatly.
“If she does anything stupid then we'll have to react to it. This may be your first time dealing with this, but this is how we recruited before. If these humans are what we think they are, it'll be easier to get them to join Predators like us than anyone else.”
“But boss, they aren't exactly discrete, she's taller than you even?”
Pip had used the term 'feral' before in jest or flippancy, but the growl that came from the gruff voice triggered a primitive part of his brain, it was a deep seated fear that ran through his body.
If he didn't get free, he was going to die.
His thoughts were interrupted by a third voice, this one came from further away as if they weren't in the same room as the other ones that had spoken so far.
“Hey boss! She's coming! She's.. got a pipe?”
“You two, go hide in the other room. You two with me, when she gets in, stand either side of her. I don't care what's she's armed herself with, if she fucks around we'll show her that we're the real Predators here, not this 'equals' nonsense...”
===
Natasha marched with confidence towards the substation that sat just outside the limits of a public park. It was a small structure, no larger than her front room and without a second floor she questioned whether it would be able to hold any more than the group of three that had told her about it in the first place.
There was something she didn't know. Either this wasn't their base or there was something she wasn't seeing yet.
It didn't matter; this was her single lifeline connecting her to Pip, there weren't any other options.
She had prepared herself as best she could, it had taken longer than she had wanted it to, but without a timeline she had hoped they had meant they'd keep Pip 'safe' until she could make it. Hey lawyer had assured her that she would inform the police, but begged her not to do anything rash.
Walking up to the substation door, she knocked a single time and stepped back away from it. A weird 'secret knock', but who in their right mind would knock on a door once? She shrugged to herself, it didn't matter; she just had to get inside.
The door unlocked from within as a bolt slid free.
“Come in, Sister.” A familiar voice said from the shadows, this was definitely the place. She steeled herself as she stepped into the 'lion's den'.
Inside a creature that resembled a Weasel hoped down off a crate that had served as its perch to look out of the small grime encrusted window. Normally Natasha would do her best to recall their correct designations and species names, but it didn't even register. She was appraising him; weighing him up as to how quickly he moved, how heavy he was, did he look like he could handle himself? Her time in the slums had given her enough experience to gauge how dangerous a person actually was.
This was a creature that looked like they used; speed, claws and teeth to win their fights. It gave her a toothy grin which faltered immediately as he noticed her expression and flinched from looking at her directly in the eye. He gestured lamely to the metal bat that she gripped in the middle with one hand while avoiding her gaze.
“You- you can't bring that in here... you can't be armed.”
“Ya’ think I'm gonna’ go into a room of Predators unarmed? Do ya’ think I'm stupid?” She snapped back at him, she'd expected to be challenged, but with just a bat she'd be able to talk her way through. Bluff that they wanted her here, not the other way round.
“But.. you..”
A voice called out from deeper within the structure, further away than what should be possible.
“Let her in, she's one of us...”
She gave the weasel a withering stare as she tapped the bat against her hip impatiently.
He ducked his head and retreated to the end of a grey electrical console. It dominated the single room that was the substation, but when he and Natasha rounded the far corner, a metal bulkhead jutting out of the ground was swung open presenting a ladder down into what Natasha assumed was the sewers.
This was not going to plan; she had no interest in going below ground, especially with what looked like a manhole cover that could be sealed closed between her and the rest of the world.
“Ya’ live in the sewers...?” She said disdainfully as she grabbed the ladder and began to descend before anyone could question her resolve. As she reached the bottom of the ladder, a serious voice, which gave her the impression of the ringleader, greeted her.
“Welcome sister. Yes, we may technically live in the sewers for now, it won't be long before we bring our vision of the galaxy to the wider city and world above. We and now you, are not alone with our desires-”
Natasha tuned him out as he continued to drone on, seemingly loving the sound of his own voice and getting high off his own horseshit. She noted that he was a Canid, black and brown colourings with a body that spoke of time at the gym, but he was small, shorter than normal canids. A runt? Either side of her sat two more, totalling four so far, one a felinoid that looked like she'd seen better days with the scraggly pelt of tawny fur and bald spots in her hide. Her partner on the other side of the room; a draconian, was thin with black for the majority of his scales but with blotches of deep red in a chaotic pattern across his visible flesh.
Natasha continued to observe the room as the ringleader went on about a 'new world order' by talking about how it was 'better in the old days'. She could sincerely feel her brain cells dying as he continued to regurgitate words that must've sounded impressive to him but imparted no actual meaning to anyone paying attention.
The room was a definitely part of the sewer system, but it appeared unused based off the floor and walls being clean of any sign of previous water or sewage, it was however, littered with the signs of usage by people; bottles and empty food packages lined the walls along with various boxes and half burnt candles scattered about haphazardly. The room itself was wide and open, the ceiling was however, almost too close for comfort to Natasha, but she gauged that she would be the tallest here by at least a head; only she would have to worry about hitting head against the humming strip lights. The end of the room, behind the ringleader's chair, had a divot in the floor for sluicing liquids away and a tunnel that cut across the room, leading deeper into the sewer system, it made the room into a 'T' shape, preventing Natasha from seeing around the corners into either direction of the tunnel.
She was in look, these lot looked like dregs, deformed and stunted. Was that their reasoning for eating people? They didn’t have the strengths of their brethren so they attacked anyone weaker?
The canid who was currently sitting at the opposite end of the room to the entrance ladder was occupying an aged leather chair that had somehow been brought down into the space. Saying that the only other visible seating in the room were several crates, it struck Natasha that this canid thought himself above those who followed him. The crates that served as seats were reinforced as such as they were each surrounded by empty bottles of beer or cans. What was interesting is that there were more available and visibly used seats than members present.
'Maybe 6 of them?' Natasha thought to herself as she realised the ringleader was winding his speech up as he was now standing with arms wide as if addressing a grand cheering crowd rather than skulking in the goddamned sewer.
Her bat 'tinked' against the cement floor as she dropped her grip from the middle of it, to the handle end and she flatly began.
“Wow...” struggling and failing to pretend any longer.
The sickly canid brought his gaze from the ceiling down to her, lowering his arms down to his sides lamely. Her lack of applause was disheartening to the man. He genuinely thought he'd improved his delivery of that speech.
“Jin, give us some privacy.” He shouted past her; the metal portal she had climbed through closed with a slam and grating lock.
'So much for their plan; my turn.' She smiled to herself, she hadn't been relying on any back up if she was honest with herself. It was always going to be her versus whatever unfortunately bastard that thought they could take her Pip.
“You fella’s took something from me. I want it back.” She demanded with a stony glare. The canid held his hands up in a placating gesture.
“Peace Sister, we only grabbed it so you could enjoy it without anyone suspecting you and so we could all meet. We're glad their meddling didn't get you arrested properly before you could enjoy its succulent flesh.”
The felinoid piped up in a tone that Natasha assumed she meant in a supporting manner. 
“It smells so sweet, I can understand why you chose it. I can't wait to sink my teeth into it properly...”
Natasha gripped the bat harder, her knuckles turning white.
“I will not 'share' Him in any way, shape or form. Not with y’all or anyone else, do ya’ understand me?”
The canid gave the human an award winning smile as he tried to reassure her.
“Oh you must understand, until we have enough to go around, we all must all share our prey. We each can support each other, we are a fami-”
“Show me him now.” Natasha cut off the canid. She needed to know he was alive. As long as he was alive she would help him live a life even if he wasn't whole.
“You're right, you're right! Of course, we've taken your food from your mouth and are trying to negotiate while you have no evidence we're sincere. Granc! Bring it out here now!”
From one of the blind-corner tunnels, another runt of a canid appeared with a lumpy sack in one hand. Like the felinoid, this one had mange and looked thin or sickly. He handed off the sack to the ringleader who reached in the bag.
A heartbreaking squeak came from within as he grasped and pulled Pip out in one harsh movement. Natasha's ache from her jaw came back, she could feel her bottom left eyelid begin to twitch with the effort of keeping her face neutral.
Pip looked scared and hurt. The Canid held him by the back of his neck, Pip had grabbed the larger creature's fingers in an attempt to ease the pressure on his body. He had dried blood over his face and he wasn't breathing correctly, as if he couldn't draw in a full breath. His fur was bedraggled and damp, he looked awful, but he was alive and awake; that was enough for Natasha. As he blinked in the sudden change of light, his eyes focused on Natasha and his face showed shock, surprise and fear.
Whether fear for himself, fear 'for' her or fear 'of' her, Natasha couldn't tell.
It didn't matter, he was alive and she was keeping it that way.
“Hand him over.” She demanded again.
“No, we've been more than welcoming to you and we've only received hostility in return. It's time you decide to join us or not.”
“As I said before; He. Is. Mine. I will not be sharing him with anyone, let alone pretend Predators such as y’all.”
This got a reaction from them, the two who had been sat either side of Natasha stood and came closer to her, well within range.
Good. Get cocky, get in close.
“Pretenders?!” The ringleader said incredulously.
“Oh, ya’ disagree? Ya’ll not predators, none of ya’ are! And yet ya’ think ya’ll good enough to take what's mine?! Ya’ bottom feeders! Ya’ll haven’t brought down anything that could actually give ya’ a run for ya’ money. At best, ya’ll opportunistic scavengers and ya’ done fucked with the wrong human.”
As the canid breathed in to retort, Natasha didn't wait to hear any more drivel from him.
She grasped the opposite end of her bat in her spare hand and drove the handle into the ribs of the black and red draconian as hard as she could, utilising her whole body to add force into the jab. The dull 'crack' echoed through the room from the bipedal lizard’s torso as he crumpled like a puppet with its strings cut. She let go of the business end of the bat to swing it in a full circuit, so the felinoid received the full brunt of force that swept the bat from down by her feet right up and into her jaw. Her head snapped backwards in a whiplash inducing motion before falling away and clutching at her face, the scream that came from it was more raw emotion than anything coherent.
At a glance the draconian had fared little better as he remained on the floor trying and failing to gulp air that simply wouldn't come.
The spare runt canid came from the front as he grabbed at the bat with both hands, Natasha was pushed back a moment before moving her arms in a violent jerking motion to push the bat squarely into his snarl, breaking his front teeth. He was stunned for a moment allowing Natasha to follow up with a second strike with the middle of the bat with little resistance. The front of his muzzle crumpled slightly as the majority of his front teeth disappeared when they broke in half and blood burst from the ends of his nostrils.
As she pulled the bat clear of his hands, she swung the handle to hit him in the face in a short pivot, it was then that Natasha was blind sided as she was tackled to the floor by a green blur. 
The green blur slashed at her face where her cheek immediately began to burn and ache. The new geckin, previously hidden around the other blind corner, reared back, jaws agape to clamp down on her exposed neck. He was small, but still sharp. As he lunged downwards, the act was arrested by the spiked choker she had donned before her arriving at the substation, preventing him from being able to close his jaws around her throat completely.
Normally she would only wear the spiked collar when going to a concert or other event where she could dress as dramatically as she liked, but she had feared that without something to defend her neck and wrists, she may have been vulnerable to this exact attack. The 'camo' geckin tried to close his teeth around her and pull, but the metal and leather left his attack ineffective and more damaging to himself than Natasha.
As he straddled her, she drove a knee up into his crotch as hard as she could before grabbing the creature and rolling to the side, dragging him beneath her in a reversal. She proceeded to pound into his face with both of her fists; her adrenaline allowing her to wail away into his jaw, cheeks and eye sockets. It wasn't until a kick to her ribs from a new assailant, forced her to roll away with a wince into a low crouch and her fists raised to defend herself.
The Ringleader stalked around his fallen compatriots, the geckin wasn’t moving.
“You idiot! Do you not understand?! We're the only ones in this city that appreciate your desire! You're denying yourself it's flesh!”
Natasha was beyond words at this point, her rage fuelled her onwards; the slight movements of her Pip in the corner of her vision willed her to tear this dog’s head off. 
She reached back to retrieve her 'back-up plans' from her back pockets. Slipping the pair 4-ringed brass knuckles over each of her own she stalked forwards towards the enraged alien.
The wild haymaker he threw out was easily redirected; it was trying to disembowel her, but Natasha gave back a quick jab into his chest rather than a grander response. He was shorter than the average canid by a significant margin, but no less dangerous, to underestimate him would be to defeat herself. He took a step back before pushing forward again, he then threw out a series of clawed slashes that did no more than bounce off Natasha's guard as she allowed his assault uninterrupted. The spiked bracelets that donned her wrists, jabbed and gouged at his own forearms weakening his attack as he could simply flail at her. His assault was feral; strong and violent, but without finesse. He’d been used to being the larger one in past conflicts, his self-assurance was evident in his lack of form or skill.
Her initial plan was to allow him to punch himself out, with his inability to end the fight by numbers or taking advantage of an exposed neck, he could only batter himself against her stalwart defence. He had a moment of inspiration however by throwing out a punch into Natasha’s gut slipping through her guard. She doubled over in a moment before twisting at the hip and using her elbow to slam into the canid’s face. He flinched and stepped backwards blinking away stars as his sensitive muzzle burst in a small geyser of blood.
Natasha’s ‘rope-a-dope’ plan was thrown into disarray however when, as the two circled each other, Pip appeared from behind the Ringleader and drove a screwdriver into the flesh of his calf with a rebel yell. Crying out and collapsing to one knee the canid successfully aimed a sweeping backhand that launched Pip deeper into the room away from the brawl.
Natasha saw red at Pip being struck; defence gave way to pure, livid hatred.
Before the canid could prepare himself, he was attacked by a true ‘Predator', one that dredged an icy dread from deep within him; a feeling he was not aware that he could ever experience, one of a Prey.
The metal covered knuckled came up in a south-paw upper punch that snapped his jaw closed and put the former Predator on his back. Natasha pounced upon him to batter solely into his head and whilst the sieged creature attempted to bring his arms up to defend himself, Natasha simply pulled his arm out of the way to land an uninterrupted hit square into whatever was in the way between her and the floor.
This continued for a time, a cathartic, raged filled therapy for Natasha as she paid him back for the upset and harm he had caused for both the Human and her Pip.
It was only when the creature had stopped moving that the drive to hit it drained from Natasha and a sudden overwhelming need to find and protect Pip returned.
Natasha got off the still breathing but bloodied meat that now laid thoroughly tenderised and scrambled over on all fours to the caramel furred mammal that remained still in a heap. She gingerly picked him up; he was still breathing but limp in her arms. She rushed over to the ladder out and turned the handle that would open the hatch once more, it had been locked from the inside.
When she unlocked it fully, the hatch was opened immediately by the collection of law enforcement officers that had crowded around the entrance to the subterranean lair. They however flinched back at the sight of the haggard and still enraged Human crawling from the depth with her face covered in blood. Whether this was her’s, Pip's or anyone else's, none of them knew, but they retreated to allow her to pass and leave the substation. The officers then climbed down the ladder to arrest the occupants within, they had heard the violence from within and expected the worst. Aside from a variety of heavily injured occupants, they were all still alive, albeit some only just.
===
 As Pip came back to the waking world, his environment had changed significantly for the better.
Beneath him was a soft mattress that supported his body gently, while the bed itself had his upper half slightly raised. The pillows beneath his neck and head were softer than his own back at his dorm, he thought mildly as he opened his eyes and began to blink the burring away.
Before his vision returned he felt a weight over his shins, heavier than the thin sheet that covered the majority of his body. Hovering over him was a fellow Prey dressed in the uniform of a nurse. Her whiskers twitched as she smirked down at him as she adjusted a bag with clear liquid inside that was connected to his arm via a tube.
“Welcome back Mr Warin, so you are aware; you've been asleep for the best part of two days, but should make a full recovery shortly.”
He blinked and croaked in response from his incredibly dry throat. He tried to swallow to refresh himself as the nurse, satisfied with her work, walked around the bottom of the bed where he suddenly noticed the form of Natasha.
The medical ward he was in was obviously designed for creatures smaller than Natasha; the items, fixtures and beds were all a more ‘normal’ size to Pip’s perspective. However, even slouched as she was, Natasha took up an alarming amount of space, practically overtaking the bottom of his bed where the top half of her slept.
‘She must be sat on the floor while hunched over the bed’ Pip thought to himself.
“We moved the other patients once she refused to leave. The others were distressed despite it being on the news.”
“She refused… What... what was on the news?”
“Her rescue of you Mr Warin? Whatever the misunderstanding was the day before, word is she single handedly removed the beginning of another feral Predator ring. The reporters had followed the parade of police and reported it live. When she appeared like an angel of death, but carrying you; people didn’t know what to think.” The nurse shook her head.
“Tokens of praise and apology have been arriving whilst you’ve both been here. They are starting to take up too much room. I would have raised a complaint if not for the fact that everyone is still hesitant to stay in a room with a human…” The nurse continued, gesturing towards the entrance to the room where a pile of gifts, flowers and tokens of various sizes had overtaken one wall.
“Now you’re awake, I doubt there will be any need for you to stay much longer. You were suffering more from sleep deprivation rather than anything physically wrong, aside from some nasty bumps. We have however stitched up the claw marks on your back, although it is likely they will scar, and your fur may not return.”
Pip thanked the nurse before she retreated from the room to follow up on her other patients. Looking down at the blonde beauty, he recalled what he had seen down in the sewers.
He had described her before as a force of nature, when he had laid on top of her chest and listened to her heartbeat. Now he knew this description was too understated. She had been truly terrifying, her speed went beyond what was right for a creature at her size to be able to move.
He had felt the impacts of her hits, the reverberations of the strikes had made him wince with each blow. When she had been taken to the floor and the Saurian that had been hidden away tore at her neck, Pip had feared the worst.
But nothing could stop her, she was a tidal wave of anger, of something primal... feral, even...
Pip winced at his own thought, that he'd put her in the same category as those brutes.
Placing a small hand into her hair he stroked it through the silken mess. She looked tired, the three gouges in her cheek looked deep and were held closed by white stitches. If he had scars on his back, those would absolutely scar and all because he got into a mess he should have avoided.
His heart broke at the idea he had led her to harm.
A wordless groan of being pulled from sleep escaped her throat.
"Morning beautiful..." Pip whispered.
"Pip? Pip!" She exclaimed, waking up fully and rocking the bed in her attempt to straighten up.
"Ya’ awake! Oh I'm so sorry Pip! It's all my fault, if I'd just left ya’ alone ya’ wouldn't have been taken or threatened and everyone-"
The cascade of apologies and worry that spilled forth surprised him, he was expecting to be the one that was to apologise not for his saviour to best him to the punch, so to speak.
"...Natasha." He said simply, stalling her mid-sentence. 
"Sorry." She said meekly.
It didn't suit her. 
Pip hated the idea of her not being herself, but he wanted her to say her piece, it was important to her so it was important to him.
"I don’t believe there's anything for you to apologise for, but if you disagree, I accept your apology and want nothing more than to hear nothing else on the matter..."
Her shoulders slumped, as if he had single handedly removed the weight of the world off her shoulders.
“...its me who should be apologising."
"No, thats not-"
"Let me finish... please." He quietly begged.
She fell silent and waited for him.
"I knew better, you didn't." He began with a sigh. "There are... expectations of what is ‘normal’ of you and me, of a Predator and a Prey. But you weren't aware of these and shouldn't be and won’t be held accountable for them. I was, and I deliberately ignored them so I could selfishly spend time with someone I found exciting... Even when I knew and was duly warned, that it would all end in tears.”
He closed his eyes in confused shame.
"I came back and encouraged you because I found you attractive Natasha, I thought you were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, even though I knew it was more than likely that nothing good could have come from us spending time with each other. This whole mess is because I didn’t do what I was supposed to…” He couldn’t look at her right now, he had to tell her the truth, to make her understand that she was free from blame, and he wouldn’t hold anything against her when she defended her social standing by leaving him behind. Especially after he had intentionally undermined hers for his lust.
Humans were new to the whole mess; how could anyone blame them? Not him, he would never blame her.
“What a crock.” Natasha stated flatly, Pip snapped his head up in confusion. “Do I not get a say? Ya’ think I didn’t know what people might say when we waltzed off together? Don’t be making assumptions that I’m jus’ some wallflower who ain’t gonna’ say nothin’. Ya’ people got some ‘expectations’, just like everybody else in this universe. Ya’ think I haven’t had to clash with ‘expectations’ before?”
She ‘huffed’ and shuffled closer to the top of the bed before reaching out a hand to hold his chin between her large fingers.
“If I didn’t want to see ya’, I wouldn’t see ya’. If ya’ want to see me, I want ya’ to come see me. And there ain’t nothing anyone else is gonna’ say or do that’s gonna’ change this.”
She released him after making her point and looked away.
“…’Expectations’ my ass. Thought I got away from all that nonsense...” She mumbled to the empty ward.
“So… we’re, okay?” Pip asked, he was stunned she would not only disregard any issue but made him feel slightly put out for attempting to assume the responsibility over the matter.
“I’m frustrated Hun’, but all this has done is tell me that I need to get ya’ home and teach you properly; just how much ya’ mean to me, ya’ daft thing.” She said with a smile as she gazed back to him, putting an elbow on his bed whilst resting her chin in her hand. Her other hand came round and gently ran over his body over the thin covers.
“I think we need to start addressing things directly, no more beatin’ round the bush. Sound good?”
“Sounds good.” Squeaked Pip.
She leaned forwards, her face now dominated his vision. The soft closing of her eyes prompted Pip to do the same as his arms reached up to cup her face as her fingers curled around the back of his head with her nails scratching through his fur. Her lips touched his and whilst her bottom lip gently pressed against his own, her top lip brushed and pressed against his nose due to the difference in their sizes.
His world was one of softness and peppermint. This is what ‘heaven’ had to be like.
===
The journey back to his dorm was uneventful, but while he packed a bag for a stay away at Natasha’s Geegee was beside himself at the idea that Pip ‘hadn’t learnt his lesson’. Pip rolled his eyes and ignored him.
He understood his opinion, it took a verbal slap from Natasha for Pip to also give up on the social contract himself, he’d just wait for the geckin to come round and begin talking to Pip again. He vowed to be there for him when or if he did.
Once they got back to Natasha’s, Pip’s things were placed on the desk while Natasha whisked him off his feet and landed on the bed; laying on top of him and assaulting him again with wet kisses, some pecks and others lingered. He returned the favour; Natasha could feel the small wet pecks across her skin as he tried to match her ferocity.
“Hun’, I hope ya’ ready; because I’ve been waiting to eat ya’ up whole since ya’ walked into my Café.”

Little Hands
Tumblr media
I dedicate (blame) this on @nocturnal-birb  and  @tasty-ribz
Mentions of blood, gore and death.  NSFW, 900 words and I did not proofread this because I wrote it in like an hour so...be warned.
A ritual goes wrong and the Papas are being hunted...
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
By the time the screaming started it was already too late.
Copia stumbled into the greenhouse and slammed the door closed.  No lock, of course there wouldn’t be a lock.  Earlier he had thought that there wouldn’t be any way that thing would’ve been able to reach a doorknob but he had been wrong.  So very very wrong.
He squinted around in the darkness, trying to find something to barricade against the door, but the only heavy objects in there were the tables covered in Primo’s plants.  Copia went to the nearest one and mumbled an apology as he shoved most of them off to crash onto the ground.  A hysterical laugh bubbled out of his mouth as he dragged the table over to the door.  
Primo wouldn’t care anyway, he was dead.
His laughing quickly turned into sobbing, thinking of Primo’s body slowly staining the floor of the library.  His throat gaping open and blood spilling everywhere.  He and Terzo had fled then, scrambling to get out of the cavernous room while the creature admired its work.
Copia had no idea where Terzo was now.  They had separated when they reached the chapel, Terzo wanting to go into the catacombs and look for the ghouls.  Copia just wanting to get the fuck out.  The ghouls were gone, that much was obvious, but Terzo refused to believe that they were gone.  That Omega was gone.  
Copia managed to tip the table over and lean it against the door.  The glass creaked ominously at the pressure but held.  He took a moment to catch his breath, leaning forward with his hands on his knees. 
He jumped when lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating the greenhouse for a brief moment.  The glass rattled slightly when the thunder rolled overhead.  He started to walk towards the back of the building, wincing when he put pressure on his left leg.  
The fucking thing had been hiding under Secondo’s car.  The keys were soaked in Secondo’s blood, Copia had found his body face down at the bottom of the stairs outside the entrance.  His neck twisted at an awkward angle and a knife sticking out of his back.  
The keys kept slipping through his fingers as he frantically tried to find the right one.  When a searing pain lanced up his leg he had dropped them and fell back on his ass, watching in horror as the creature crawled out from under the car.  It held a blood soaked knife in the air and had begun to advance towards him.  Copia didn’t think he had ever run so fast in his life.
His shoe made disgusting squishing sounds as his foot pressed down into the blood soaked material.  Another sob left him as the pain began to get worse and he stumbled down and finally sat against the back wall.  Another streak of lightning flashed across the sky and Copia watched as indecipherable shadows danced outside the greenhouse.
What the fuck had happened?  He had been trying to rack his brain since all the mayhem had started.  Something had gone wrong with the ritual, something had come through that should have stayed in hell.  Copia had followed everything to the letter, he had done exactly what Imperator had said.  
He refused to dwell on what Terzo believed, that Imperator had set him up.  That she had altered the ritual in a way to exchange the ghouls for whatever appeared in the summoning circle.  She had no reason to do this.  The church was more popular than ever and Copia’s new tour was starting soon.
Why would she do this to him?
A tapping sound interrupted his thoughts and he froze, holding his breath.  Another flash of lightning and Copia swore he saw a small shadow creep along outside the greenhouse.  Lucifer please, please make it go away.  
More tapping now, getting closer.  It sounded like there was something metallic hitting the glass.  Copia turned and scooted back from the side a bit, watching as the small figure crept closer to where he was.  The tapping turned into a high pitched scraping sound as it dragged whatever it was holding against the glass.
Copia knew it was a knife.
When it stopped directly opposite him, Copia squinted to try to see it in the dark.  He held his breath and gasped when lightning flashed once more, illuminating the thing that had been stalking him and killing his family.
Two small gloved hands pressed against the glass.  A large nose over a painted lip and skinny mustache.  The eyes were dark and emotionless as they peered at him, the black paint surrounding them making them stand out.  It was wearing a replica of his old red cassock.  Complete even with a tiny Grucifix that sparkled when the lightning shone on it.
While the sky darkened again Copia racked his brain trying to think of a way to escape.  Why had Lucifer abandoned him?  He had dedicated his life to his teachings, they all had.  But now he was the only one left and he wasn’t sure how much longer that would even be the case.
The tapping had started again, but now it was coming from the other side of the greenhouse.  Copia jerked his head to look but what he saw horrified him more than everything else he had witnessed tonight.
More tiny figures began to walk up to the glass, countless tiny forms pushing their faces into the sides.  Watching him.  The tapping became unbearable and Copia covered his ears and prayed.  He prayed to Lucifer harder than he ever had, begging him to answer.  Begging for a sign that Copia was still one of his favored sons.
The sound of glass breaking was the only response he got.

You want filthy ghoul thoughts?? You can have ‘em, hope this distracts you! Soz if this wasn’t what you were after, but you mentioned murder ghouls and they live in my brain rent freeee
Oh and a little cameo of rain’s tentacle. Heh, fair warning, this got a little (lot) out of hand. Sorry if it’s too much to just dump in your inbox… enjoy?
Cumulus is THE murder ghoulette, like babe was put on this earth to commit atrocities, you cannot change my mind. She’s always cold topside, but nothing warms her up quite like fresh human blood. Cirrus tried to get her into vigilante killing, if she’s really gonna end that many humans, but to no avail. Girly wants to eat what takes her fancy.
And what takes her fancy is pretty humans… male, female, whatever. They all taste the same when her fangs are buried in their throats. She loves the dance they have around each other, the mental chase of flirtation, and then the inevitable physical one once she reveals her true nature (and fangs. They tend to scare people.). If Lulu plus her cards right, she can be satisfied in multiple ways from a hunting trip.
Girl’s all about balance though, when she finds a victim she’s fair: they get to eat her out, then she gets to eat them!!
She’ll return from a hunting trip an absolutely mess, covered in blood and all manner of other things. Sometimes even clothes(!). When she’s like this, Cirrus just can’t deal, she likes the humans up here a bit too much to want to taste their stale blood on Cumulus’s tongue. Rain however… ooooo boy is obsessed with her. Dew too, to a lesser extent, tbh he’s a little intimidated by her when her eyes burn this brightly, and her fangs look that sharp.
Rain goes as feral for her as she went for the humans. He’ll lick every inch of her skin clean of dried blood, acts like he’s drinking the sweetest nectar he’s ever tasted, moaning and salivating uncontrollably. Eventually he’ll move on to his real prize and bury himself between her legs. He’ll hiss at the taste of any human that still lingers, but he always makes sure Cumulus will taste of no one but him once he’s finished.
She loves to see him like this, mindless in his desperation for her, his tentacle even emerging for a taste of its own. Rain won’t be satisfied though, not until he gets the feel the full ferocity of her hunting guise. She’ll bare her fangs at him, dripping with venomous saliva and still stained with the red of human blood. Rain moans from deep in his chest, and refocuses his mission to clean them too. He’ll lick deep into her mouth, twining his tongue with hers to taste every last hint of human devastation.
What he really needs though, is to feel her power. Rain will bare his neck to her, whining in submission as he continues rutting his tentacle against her, smearing it in the last smudges of blood on her body. The sharp sting of her fangs sinking into his throat draws more desperate noises from him, the lance of pain from her venom radiating through his veins makes him keen. The final straw is when Cumulus will pull away and feed Rain the taste of his own blood, thick and deep blue. He finishes against the jut of Cumulus’s him with a scream that echoes with the death knell of a thousand humans past.
Hope the brain sads go away, I’ve seen lots of bottom-omega discourse floating around today which might also be a nice distraction 👀👀
i read this like a million times. i wanna keep it forever hidden in my inbox. but GODDAAAMN!!! ITS SO GOOOD!
Lus is the murder ghoulette. She’s so hot. so intimidatingly hot. Lus and rain?! hehehe got me kicking my feet and giggling over here. Ugh i love tentacle action 🤤🤤🤤
this is exactly what my brain needs today. Thank you thank you thank you!!

The Man in the Pearl Mask Masterlist
Tumblr media
Summary
The Valryan gods foresee what destruction Lucerys Velaryon’s death will bring and decide to intervene. They cannot stop the dragons from dancing but they can change the tune.
Lucerys comes back from the dead thanks to Balerion’s intervention and decides that, since he failed to help his mother’s cause as himself, he should become someone different - the masked, mute, mystery dragonrider known only as Lord Velaryon.
The gods aren’t content with intervening in just one person’s fate, however. Other gods set their eyes on Aemond and work to set him on a different path.
One day, Lucerys and Aemond’s paths will cross again and, when they do, they will be very different people.

For the ask game:
Edelweiss 🧠🥊✂️
Anon you helped me break through some writer's block with this one! I have a WIP for your last question! TY!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?
I like how forthright he is. But he's not a goody-two-shoes either. He gets things done because they have to be done.
🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
Edelweiss Ghoul to be honest enjoys doing nothing. That is, finding somewhere nice to sit and watch the world go by. Eating a really good meal (because that's the second thing he likes: good food), listening to good music and being present. He hates rushing around or when people are too reckless. He hates being pressured.
✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?
1530 (from Bestiary)
ENOUGH, PAPA. The rage inside him winnowed his vision down to a single point—the sneering, reddish hairy face of the human in front of him. YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY WITH WHATEVER WOMAN YOU DEMANDED IN CAMP. BUT DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON A GHOUL. In the back of his mind he sensed that the others had slipped away elsewhere. His distraction was working. Aurora Ghoul’s heart seemed to have slowed into calm. Through their soul connection Mountain Ghoul gave him a reassuring tap.
Papa’s filthy tunic was sweat-stuck to his skin. He grinned crookedly, holding up his bricklike fists. “Boy wishes to box, eh?”
I WANT YOU TO GO TO BED. YOU'RE DRUNK.
“Take me to bed then, son of a whore,” Papa laughed. The human thought nothing of it. It was all a game. He summoned them to Earth, one by one, dutiful and soul bound to him so he could yank them around on the strings whenever the mood or the grog struck him.
Weiss audibly huffed, bringing his arms up. The wastefulness, the wantonness jettisoned his rage into the physical realm. He lunged forward, body slamming Papa through the chest and into the dirt. His fists ripped open into curled hands launched at the tree trunk of the neck.
Weiss’ grip tightened around Papa’s neck, yet his very nerves could not commit themselves to harm the human. The whole body, the vehicle provided to him through Papa’s essence, resisted harming its maker. Tendons locked, muscles stalled. It was the Rule at work. The ghoul’s soul surged, screaming and undulating under the prison of the mask, wanting to lunge at him with all the feral wrath he felt towards Papa and all the justice needed doing.
He felt Papa’s barrel chest swell and rattle underneath him in another drunken chuckle. The man’s heavy fist arrived at the side of his face, to box an ear that was never there. The ghoul’s body crumpled off and into the dirt with the force of the follow through.
Papa got to his feet, stumbling a little as his senses stopped swimming. He administered a firm kick to the ghoul’s ribs and the pain lanced across Weiss’ torso with eye-blurring precision. “Get up, slag,” Papa spat, although his voice still had its usual jovial undertone. “You want to box like a man then let's have some fucking follow-through.”
OC Ask Game My 3 main ones are Marian, Edelweiss Ghoul and Jocasta

Domestic December Day 2 - Helping Each Other With Chores
Zephyr is doing the dishes but their joints are acting up so Ifrit helps them out. Then Mist joins them for cuddles.
Notes: Chronically ill Zeph. Also they/them Zeph. Yay, finally writing for earlier era ghouls! Prompt list by comp-lady. See prompt list here
Zephyr/Ifrit/Mist cuddles below the cut or on A03
Ifrit pokes his head into the kitchen. “Hey Zeph! Have you seen…bad pain day?”
Ifrit had been about to ask about Mist’s whereabouts but the grimace on the air ghoul’s face was more than enough to put that goal aside.
“Yeah.” They admit with a shrug, rubbing their lower back. “The cold weather isn’t doing me any favors. Just need to finish doing the dishes then I’ll go take a hot soak or something.”
“Want some help?”
Zephyr looks like they want to say no. That they’ve got it, but a sharp lance of pain through their hip betrays them. They duck their head shyly. “Only if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all Zeph.” Ifrit walks over and plants a gentle kiss between Zephyr’s horns before dunking his hands in the soapy dishwater. “I'll wash, you dry?”
“Sure.”
Ifrit gets to work washing the remaining dishes while Zephyr dries them, using their air magic in lieu of a towel. Together they put the dishes back in the cabinets. Once they're done, Ifrit shakes his hands dry and nuzzles the air ghoul.
“Still thinking about a soak?”
“Maybe. Water probably won’t stay warm long though.”
“Want to cuddle then? I can massage your joints and see if that helps a bit.”
Zephyr shakes their head. “I don’t want to bother you.”
Ifrit gently takes Zephyr’s face in his hands. “Zeph dear, you’re not a bother. Don’t ever think that. I’m offering because I care about you and want to help if possible. Besides, I was literally just looking for Mist because I know the cold is rough on her too. I was going to see if she wanted to cuddle.”
“Okay.” Zephyr relents. “Thanks Iffy.” They smile and bump their horns with Ifrit’s.
“Of course love. Let's go find Mist and get all comfy in bed.”
They do just that. They find Mist in her room, occupied with a book and wrapped in at least three blankets.
“Where have you been Iff?” She pouts. “I’m freezing my ass off in here.”
“Sorry, sorry.” He grins sheepishly. “Let's get you warmed up.”
The three of them settle in Ifrit's room after making a brief detour to Zephyr’s room so they can grab their favorite blankets. Mist just hauls her blankets with them. Ifrit sets a roaring fire in the hearth, and the room warms up nicely. The pile on the bed, wrapped in blankets and pillows. Ifrit is in the middle with Mist and Zephyr on either side hugging him for his warmth. He cranks up his internal temperature and the other two sigh happily.
“Want me to help massage those aches?” Ifrit asks.
Zephyr nods. “Please.”
Ifrit rolls over to face the air ghoul while Mist presses up against his back. Zephyr presses their face to Ifrit’s chest as he starts to rub their sore shoulders and back with warm hands.
Ifrit can feel them grit their teeth as he rubs. Zephyr can’t hold back a pained hiss as Ifrit’s hands press into a sore spot. Ifrit pulls back. “Doing okay? Too much pressure?”
“I’m fine.” They sigh. “It’s good, it just hurts.”
“I’m sorry love. You want me to keep going?”
“Uh huh. I’m okay.”
“Alright. Just let me know if you need me to stop.”
Zephyr nods and Ifrit’s hands return to their swollen muscles.
Slowly but surely, the air ghoul’s tension seems to ease. Ifrit whispers comforts and Mist throws an arm across the fire ghoul to scratch at Zephyr’s scalp. They begin to purr, soothed by their touches, hot and cold.
When Zephyr has practically melted in his hands, Ifrit eases off and just gently traces his fingers over the air ghoul’s back.
“Feeling better?”
“Lots. Thanks.” They mumble sleepily.
“Looks like it's nap time then.” Mist is yawning and Ifrit is struggling to keep his eyes open. “Let's get you some water and then we can sleep. Sound good?”
“Mmm huh.”
Ifrit helps Zephyr take a few sips from the water bottle on his nightstand and then settles back so Zephyr can rest their head on his chest. Mist rolls over and does the same. Ifrit wraps either arm around them and they all drift off to sleep.
