#i really like how the leopard fur turned out

[grandlinedreams]

You! 🫵 You have an excellent way of weaving words, it leaves my heart in a kerfuffle! (no better way to describe it otherwise xD)

If your inbox isn’t already exploding, would you be up for a little fluff scenario with good ol‘ Law?

Trope: „Can we keep him? Pleeease?“ - Reader found a snow leopard baby . . 🥹 (If you know you know)

I let you channel your inner Law, I‘m curious how you‘d set the scene :3

Hope it ain’t too dull of a trope - thank you ~!

OUGH I'M HONORED 🥺 he really does just bounce around in my head like a lil dvd screensaver but also PLEASE that little baby 🥺🥺🥺

[Heads up!: fluff, Law is a sucker for puppy dog eyes we all know, Bepo is an accomplice]

It's cold.

Dangerously so, the wind making it difficult to keep on your course ㅡ how you're supposed to see anything in the vast tundra of blinding white is beyond you, but you press on.

You have to.

You tug at the fur-lined rim of your parka hood, trying to tug it over the rapidly numbed quality of your lips and nose. You'll be fine, you know that ㅡ the others can't be far from here.

Longing for the warmth of indoors and needing to tell Law what you'd seen in your scout ahead (a whole lot of nothing, unfortunately), you hurry your pace, only to halt at a faint, muffled cry.

Was someone else out here? You still, eyes narrowing as you strain to hear above the whistle of wind.

It takes a minute to hear it again ㅡ raspy and high, like the cry of a child. Your heart sinks as you turn to search for the source. You know Law will scold you if he finds out, much less if it's a trap of some sort ㅡ but the likelyhood of an enemy is low, and you can't just leave a child out here to freeze.

It takes several minutes of searching and stopping to pinpoint the cry before you find the source, and you stare with wide eyes.

No way...

ㅡ

"Cocoa, Captain?"

Law looks over as Bepo places the mug of steaming hot chocolate down beside him, watching tiny marshmallows bob in it before his attention shifts back to the door of the little cabin they've commandeered as a base of sorts.

"[Name] should've been back by now." You'd gone out to scout ahead, take not of any potential enemy activity ㅡ but you've been gone for a while now. And though Law is concerned, he masks it with the rise of irritation.

As if summoned, there's the darkening of the window set into the front door and he tenses for a second before you step in, quick to shut the door behind you.

"[Name]!"

"Hey guys," you greet. "Sorry I'm late, I got a little sidetracked."

Your cheeks are flush with the contrast of cold to warm, as is the tip of your nose ㅡ but from what Law can see, you're unharmed. Good.

"Anything to report?" He asks and you glance over.

"Huh? No, no signs of enemy activity." There's something you aren't telling him, that much he can tell.

"Are you bleeding?" It's Shachi's question that snaps Law's attention back to your coat, spotting the smear of red that he'd missed on his first once-over.

"Oh," you say as Law stands, intending to assess whatever damage has been done, demand to know what actually happened ㅡ only to halt as you reach for the zipper of your parka. "No, it's this little guy's."

You tug the zipper down, and a rounded, fluffy head wiggles free. Wide, wet looking blue eyes blink at them before a mouth opens to reveal tiny, razor sharp teeth as the creature offers a raspy sounding mew.

"Is...that a snow leopard?"

Several eyes snap to Law for a moment, the familiar speckle of his cap ㅡ and then back to the cub you have cradled in your coat.

"He's been injured," you say as you shuck your coat entirely in favor of cradling the cub to you. It's far bigger than a kitten, but broad paws still curl against you. "I couldn't just leave him out there..."

"[Name]." Law's eyes narrow. "A word, please." He turns to retreat down the hall to one of the other rooms, listening to your footsteps in tow. He waits until you've shut the door behind you before he turns to you. "Explain."

"I scouted as far ahead as I could given the current environment and found nothing out of the ordinary. If there's really something going on here, it's higher up the mountain." Your tone is calm and cool, professional ㅡ and he sighs.

"I meant the cub, [name]."

Your expression crumples as you look down at the leopard cub, and Law notices the ragged cut in its side, fur wet with blood. "I couldn't just leave him out there, Law. He'd die."

"He's a wild animal, [Name]. It's the way nature works." He knows he sounds unnecessarily cruel ㅡ and there's the squeeze of his heart when you frown and cradle the cub tighter to you.

"That doesn't mean I have to let it happen." Your fingers curl into soft fur, stroking gently. "I know he's a wild animal, but I want to help. Can't we keep him? Just until he gets better?"

You look up at him, and Law tenses. There's a shine to your eyes ㅡ he's never seen you cry, and you're about to over a damn cat? No, he knows this tactic. He knows exactly what you're doing.

Damn Bepo for teaching you his weakness to puppy eyes.

His teeth grit, muscle in his brow twitching as you continue to stare, silently pleading. All you're missing is the jut of your lower lip, and he jerks his head, scowling.

"Fine. But he's your responsibility. Now stop looking at me like that, damn it!"

You smile, pleased as you adjust your hold on the leopard cub and step towards him, leaning to brush your lips against his cheek in a soft kiss. "You're cute when you're grumpy, Law."

And then you're gone, hurrying off to gather what you need to treat the cub and leaving Law to process the warmth of your lips on his cheek. "What a pain," he grumbles, but there's a faint upward quirk to his lips.

[riinkun-art-stuff]

Howdy ho! I'm very excited to finally be able to share this illustration I worked on as part of this year's @bumblebybigbang for @tahnex's lovely and super fun fic (with no pain attached whatsoever), "Of Dragons and Panthers," which you can read here! As soon as I read the original notes on it this scene captured me so much I had to do something dramatic for it. It's been such a pleasure watching the whole collab come together, tysm for having me!

First time joining an event like this, and I'd love to again if the opportunity comes around hehe. Still a few postings to go on this one, the pieces before us this year have knocked it out of the park and I'm super excited to see the rest once they come around!

Made a few process cuts just for fun, which I left under the cut!

I did do a few sketches roughly before I started out, especially based on other parts of the chapter, but this particular composition was so fixed in my mind that I ended up just sticking with it. In retrospect, I would've loved to go back and do some more thorough exploration for it. Here are a few of the sketches I managed to fish back up:

I also was thinking of trying a few other doodles/another big piece, but ended up not really having the time between other obligations :')

And the sketch I finally settled on:

Inking was SUCH a fun process on this piece in particular. I'm a huge fan of how dragon!Yang's mane turned out, especially, and all the detailing on the head and around Blake's fur and such. Feel like I'm really satisfied w the particular way the line weight variations came out, and it's where the piece shines the most imo.

Panther!Blake, too. Oh gosh. I feel like it took me a lot of reworking to get her structure to a point where she felt very leopard-like, rather than any other type of big cat- especially around the head.

Colours were such a challenging part. There was a big feeling I had for that glow coming off dragon!Yang in the middle of the heavy rain- I love seeing that sort of effect in real life so that's something I'm really hoping to work to capture better as I practice. Trying to get dragon!Yang's slight iridescence in there and to balance out the lighting on panther!Blake's fur each took a long time, too- I'm only a pinch sad that a good chunk of it is covered by other lighting effects XD

Blake's rosettes were SO fun. Augguhugg.

In terms of backgrounds. HOO boy I was going through a strange patch in life while working on the background and final polish for this piece, which is why (at least I feel like) it looks kinda rushed. I have been practicing natural landscapes and doing some observational studies but still struggling to get those rock shapes quite right, which I think is a big make or break point of something like this. I did really enjoy toying around with inking on the foliage and foreground layers of the ground, though! And in the end, lighting and effects ended up masking a lot of the big weak spots :D

I think natural effects like smoke/steam, and rain, are big things that I got to practice more of in this piece, but also really would like to get better at in future. Esp since I feel like it's been a great opportunity to mess around with different colours and brushes that I use way less, which I'm always grateful for w painting. I think just layering the rain on its own ended up being about 10 odd layers?

I think the only other thing I would have loved to improve is to just help the piece feel more Bumbleby™ in the final look. I think I like the cool colours of the lighting for this particular outcome, but I also would have probably tried to have made things much clearer (ahem at the very least switch to yellow/purple) in the long run in terms of representation and resemblance. Ik that at least for me it is fairly easy to associate the two characters with dragons and panthers since I'm more familiar w the fandom lingo around these two, but esp for outsiders I feel like it's probably not great at conveying who they are, and why they are potentially in this situation.

I'd also love to try and find a shading style that still has a painterly quality but compliments the inking a bit better, rather than overpowering it.

I think that, on the whole, I am pretty satisfied with the piece and had a great time working with Tahnex on the whole collab! And I've also has a fun time reading his work and notes in return, and thank you so much for being so so patient with me even as my updates were slow n rocky at points :'D

That's about all I got, have a great day y'all! Still a few big bang postings to go, so very excited for those once they come around!

#riinkun art stuff #my art #digital art #bumbleby big bang #bbb2023 #rwby #YIPPEEEE #very very happy to finally be able to show this off aaaaahugghh!!!! #it's been v cool working on this collab- tysm for having me again! :'D

Rodeo Ride

Symphony Smut Series Day 9: Lah Pat and Flo Milli's Like a Rodeo Ride

Lyric: He love how I ride it, hop on a dick I made him get excited

Pairings: Husband!Changbin × wife!fem!reader

Warnings: SMUT MINORS DNI, thigh riding, sub!reader, hard!dom!Changbin, office sex, sex on a chair, missionary, rough sex, swearing, dirty talk, dry humping, needy reader, VERY sex deprived reader, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it)

A/N: day 9! Woah we're almost halfway through this series now and I'm finally doing Binnie. I really couldn't think of anyone better for riding that Changbin for some reason

THE SYMPHONY SMUT SERIES MASTERLIST

Changbin was a simple man.

Wake up, get dressed, kiss your amazing wife goodbye, get to work, do said work, come back, kiss wife again, and then cuddle with her until the morning and you gotta repeat it again. And he liked this life. What else does he have to ask for?

And yet, men never understand the workings of women's sexual systems do they?

"Bunny I'm going to be late today." Changbin looked up at you sitting opposite to him, hastily arranging his tie as the maids took away his plate.

"Again?" You slammed your fork down, glaring at him. It wasn't that you didn't love your husband enough to let him go to work and make his decisions, but sometimes your pussy needed some food.

"I know, I know." Changbin chuckled, an awkward attempt to ease your tension, "But I've got to. Got a meeting today, I can't let the employees be alone without their boss now can I?"

"But Binnie...." You drawled out, making your lips onto a pout which you knew could never make him say no to you.

"How about this?" Changbin leant over to you, caressing your lip with his finger, before pulling you in for a short yet sweet kiss, "Stay awake till I come back, and I'll fuck a baby into you."

"Tempting." You said, folding your arms, "You promise?"

"Promise." Changbin replied, before quickly scampering off to his car, leaving you all alone, once again in the mansion.

"How much longer, how much longer." That's what went in your mind till about three o'clock. Waiting for Changbin really was a task, as the minutes ticks painfully away, it felt like eternity.

This was a punishment, you were convinced, whatever you had done in your past life to deserve this, you were regretting it. Were you being dramatic? Maybe. But we're you going to stop? Absolutely not.

And that is the story of how you turned up at Changbin's office building, wearing a furry black coat which reached down to your ankles, with nothing inside. Well almost nothing, you thought, as you looked down at the lingerie set Changbin had gotten you for your fifth anniversary.

Smirking to yourself, you entered the elevator and pressed the cold button upto Changbin's office, on the topmost floor.

Oh he was going to have fun today.

"Bunny? What are you doing here?" Changbin's eyes lifted from his paperwork as you entered his office, quite a large space, "And why are you closing my curtain blinds?" His last words were ended with a smirk to his face, casually sliding his wheely chair away from his desk.

"I miss you Bin." You say, the sound of your heels clacking the floor as you slowly approach him like a snow leopard approaching it's prey, "I really miss you."

Changbin's words caught in his throat, as his eyes lay sight on you.

Oh he was fucked.

He began to regret all his work now, how he had left his pure baby all alone with no dick to fullfill her sweet pussy.

"Come 'ere." Changbin pulled you into his lap, taking the fur coat and throwing it aside, "It's good you came during lunch hour, otherwise I would have been dead by now."

Your ass was rubbing against his hard dick, making him having to stifle his moans. The same ass that's been nudging against him for the past five years. "God I've missed this" he thought to himself.

He lightly grabbed onto your hips and moved his against your ass. "S-shit.." he sighed, the slight friction easing some of the pain. He moved again, pressing into you a little harder, letting out a shaky moan and burying his face in the crook of your neck. 

The slow movements gradually got faster, the slow grinding turned into him rutting against you, like a dog in heat. All of this movement caused you stir, halting Changbin's movements. Making sure you were still there and this was no his imagination, he started moving his hips again, slowly.

The friction wasn't enough though, he wanted more, he needed more. He pulled his pants and boxers down, or at least enough for his dick to spring out and breathe. Thank god for his desk having a barrier.

The cold air hit his tip causing him to shiver and stifle a moan. Pulling you close and stroking himself, spreading his pre-cum, he pushed himself between your thighs. He knew it was weird, to grind and hump on you while you were in his office, but fully fucking you didn't make him feel better, your thighs will suffice for this one time. 

Thrusting his hips he let out a moan,a little too loud that he had to remind himself the walls could listen, he bit his lip trying to silence himself.

"Ahh fuck darling you're so good for me" he moaned, feeling your pussy rub against his dick.

Dipping his head in the crook of your neck he let out an airy breath and kissed your shoulders, hips thrusting faster and balls slapping against the back of his thighs. 

Whining and huffing in your ear, kissing and nipping at your neck, he was getting closer and closer to cumming all over your thighs. Changbin grabbed your thighs, squeezing them tightly, tight enough it might even leave a mark. His hips began to stutter and his hands gripped your thighs and hip while he bit his lip, hard enough to cause it to bleed and pushing his head further into your neck. 

His dick twitched and he could feel his cum in his stomach when-

"Bunny why'd you stop?" Changbin looked up at you with widened eyes, disappointment filling him, "Do you wanna be a bad girl today?"

"Hmm maybe" you said, giggling and slipping a hand onto his dick, gently stroking it, making Changbin moan again.

“ Get on my thigh.” He orders you, pulling your panties down, leaving you in naked. He groans at the glistening wetness staining your thighs before placing his thigh in between your legs.

“Sit.”

The moment your pussy makes contact with his bare thigh he can’t help but groan. “Soaking my thigh already, who knew you were this desperate?” He mutters, your head falling into his neck as your hips begin to move.

The drag of your clit against his muscular thigh causes you to whimper, pressing yourself harder. His large calloused hands guide your hips, moving you up and down his thigh.

“That’s it bunny, doesn’t it feel good?” He questions, pressing a kiss to your forehead. You can’t seem to find the words to respond, overwhelmed by pleasure. You nod dumbly, moaning out his name as he tenses his thigh.

“Who would’ve thought I could fuck you dumb without putting my cock in you? Just so needy for me.” Changbin brushes some hair behind your hair, holding your face to look at him whilst he smiles sarcastically.

"Bunny, my pants are fuckin soaked" he said, eyeing the huge wet spot that were creating, "Such a filthy little slut riding my thigh like that"

His eyes scan your face, admiring the light flush smattered over your cheeks and the way your eyelids flutter shut with every grind against him.

“Want you to cum, can you do that? Cum on my thigh and then I’ll fuck you senseless right here bunny.” He groans, your arousal audible now with each drag. Your legs begin to shake with exertion, Changbin taking over and continuing to grind you into his thigh, muscles tensing sporadically.

Your orgasm takes you by surprise despite the build up, head thrown back with a moan and eyes rolled back. “Oh god, Bin, please.” You moan out, not sure if you’re begging him to stop or keep going.

“There we go, good girl.” Changbin groans, his thigh absolutely covered in you. He holds you still, allowing you to catch your breath. Changbin places a soft kiss on your cheek, leading you to look into his eyes, pupils clouded with lust. He smirks.

“is everything oka—“ his lips suddenly crash into you. Fingers firmly holding your jaw as his tongue slips into your mouth. you’re completely caught off guard, hands holding his wrists, whining as he pushes you against the desk, arm wrapping around your waist pressing you firmly into his chest.

“I need you,” he groans, aggressively, pre cum leaking out of the tip as he kisses your lips. “don't wanna be away from you.” he bites your bottom lip, causing your voice to crack, whining.

“I trained this pussy so well,” he groans, kissing your lips. “ya get so wet just from kissin’ me,” he smiles, knees kicking your legs further apart as you whine, trying to hold his shoulders for balance.

“fuck bunny” his fingers pushed into your pussy, your walls sucking him as you let out a strangled moan, the squelching wasn’t helping you either. " have something to say?” he snaps, sucking bruises along your neck and shoulder as he pumps his thick fingers in your pussy, proud of himself as he hears the squelching start to trickle down his fingers.

“Bin—“ you’re biting your hand, muffling your moans as your face heats up. So embarrassed that this is happening and you couldn’t even push him away.

“did I cover your mouth?” his words echo as he pins your wrist over your head. “you like talking, so lemme hear you.”

“no—ah ah…they’ll hear me—“ your desperately trying to keep some dignity, but it all leaves the moment you feel your body being lifting in the air.

“Fuck me Bin!,” and that’s all he wants because he’s dropping you down, shoving his entire dick inside until your eyes burst with tears feeling his thick trimmed hair tickling your clit, completely bottoming out.

“fucking took out my eardrums, Bunny,” he’s laughing in your face as he pulls his hips back and shoves his cock inside you again. you were completely dazed, that moment he sank his full length deep in your tummy, your brain automatically turned to mush. he usually took his time when it’s the morning before office, but there was no time now. so he couldn’t hold himself back as he let you take it full force.

“Bin…I-I need you please.” your eyes were filled with tears as you held his hair, fingers rubbing against his scalp, the other digging into his shoulders as you drooled. Such a mess in such a small time.

“mhm? ahh— mm fuck!” he grips your ass, fucking you faster as he feels his balls tighten. You’re drooling into his lips as he opens his mouth, sticking his tongue out, groaning as he feels your spit rub inside his mouth. such a filthy girl. you were creaming so fast, squeezing the hell out of his cock as your eyes grew.

“too much…ahhh—wait!” The desk was shaking as he drove his cock, balls slapping your wet pussy as your legs shook.

You almost screamed as you let go, cum shaping around his dick perfectly, as he slowed down, his chest rising up and down.

Pulling out of you slowly, he quickly got some towels and cleaned you up, guiding you towards the office's bathroom.

"I got some clothes in the second drawer." He set you down on the counter, "I'll come home early today alright?"

"Your pussy isn't done yet."

Dancing across my mind

🎆One shot🎆

Pair: Tai lung x reader

Song: Someone to you (Banners)

"Dive and disappear without a trace, I just wanna be someone"

Important: (Y/A) = Your animal, ‼️Spoilers for Kungfu Panda 4‼️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It felt like it was ages ago when I had first met him, a life time ago.

I was about the age of eight, just moved to the valley of peace with my family. It truly lived up to its name, a lot calmer compared to the big city. A very welcome change.

A young (y/a) emerges from a building which was covered with posters. In her paws/feathers/claws were a (f/c) colored fan.

My mother was a traditional dancer, a famous one at that. She use to perform at theaters near our old home. I wanted to be just like her.

The small creature stumbles through the villages, watching as other pass by. Her (e/c) look up and latch onto a mountain with a Cherry Blossom tree on it.

Her eyes sparkle in fascination. She picks up the pace, and almost begins running. Unknownly, she almost jumps into a geese who was carrying a crate full of vegetable.

Finally after a few minutes was carrying herself up. She reaches the top of the mountain. It was really high, she could even see her house from here!

I sometimes wonder if I never went to the mountain on that faithful day, I most likely would've never met him.

The (f/a) moves to stand in the beginning pose, she in- and exhales like her mother taught her. She carefully moves her arms/feathers, feeling the wind flow past her form.

She couldn't imagine how amazing she looks as feels cherry bottom leafs flow through the breeze.

Her grip on the fan loosend and she accidentally drops it on the moss covered rocks. She was about to retrieve her when a pair of paws grab them.

She looks up, meeting two kind golden eyes. Those belonging to a snow leopard that seemed her age. He shyly bends down on one knee "I think you've dropped this" He holds out the fan for her grab.

(Y/n) reaches and takes it from him, feeling her wing/paw brush against his. "Thank you, um..." She says, not knowing his name.

"Tai...Tai lung!" He introduces himself, seeming to have trouble with his words. He seemed shy and excited at the same time.

There was something special about him, but (Y/n) couldn't place her feater/finger on it. "Thank you, Tai Lung" A smile appears on her face. "May I ask what brings you here?"

"I might have had a burst of anger and my jiaolian had send me over her to meditate and dim my anger" Tai Lung explains, akwardly fiddling with his paws.

(Y/n) resumes the begin pose, holding the fan tightly "Why don't join me, dancing always makes me relax"

Hesitantly, Tai Lung moves to stand next to the other. He copies the begin pose, looking at his arms and legs to make sure he was doing it correct.

His eyes watch (Y/n)'s movements, observing the dance. He follows her moves, soon they were moving in sync. Tai Lung realises how peaceful he felt, feeling the wind flow through his fur.

Not so far away stood Shifu, proud to see his student was able to calm the burning rage in himself.

For years, (Y/n) and Tai Lung met on the mountain. Dancing and training togheter, Tai Lung was even able to teach (Y/n) some fighting moves. (Y/n) became a better dancer and Tai Lung became a greater fighter.

But it came all to an end on the day he told me about his 'Destiny'.

(Y/n) sits calmly ontop the mountain, her eyes were shut. She in- and exhales through her nose. From behind she could hear someone approaching, she knew those footsteps all too well.

She turns just time to be grabbed by the waist and held up. The one holding her up was Tai Lung himself, seeming very happy for some reason.

(Y/n) couldn't help but let out an excited giggles, gripping into his strong arms as support "What has you so overjoyed?"

Carefully, Tai Lung places the (y/a) down back on her feet "The next time you will see, I will have the title of the Dragon Warrior!"

"Fancy title, will you get a metal of honor along with it?" (Y/n) Jokes, smiling at her companion.

Tai Lung chuckles, shaking his head, amused by her remark "Maybe, If I'm lucky. I know you'll be proud of me"

"I already am, I always have been"

After he left, I waited for him. It was so quiet underneath the cherry Blossom tree. I missed his laughter, his snarky remarks that would always brought a smile to my face.

(Y/n) looks at the letter she was holding, she was planning to give it to Tai Lung. She sighs and places it in a drawer, closing it after.

Rumors grew, stories about him destroying a nearby village. They would follow me everywhere, as many knew how close we were. Most of my shows had town.

Years past, the rumors became less and less. Until he left everyone's mind, but not mine. Fifteen years later, I had walked out of theater I usually perform at.

The infamous (y/a) strolls out of the building, holding her trusty (f/c) fan by her side. She pauses when she hears crashing nearby.

A figure gets flung infront of her, only a few meters away. They use their fist to bring their motion to a stop. It was Tai Lung.

As if feeling her presence, he turns his head to look at her gaze. Their eyes widen at the sight of the other. Tai Lung didn't get much reaction as he was punched in the stomach by Po, making him fly out of sight.

Scared, (Y/n) rush out, trying to find her old friend. She follows the trial of destruction, going all throughout the valley.

She found it stopped in the middle of the street, with a huge crater in the street. She turns to a pig standing nearby "Have you seen a snow leopard by any chance?"

"The dragon Warrior had defeated him a few moments ago, you just missed it" The pig explains to her.

Next to pig were three bunnies, jumping up and down, excitedly. "It was so cool, he went like pow pow pow!" "Then he did skadoosh!" "It was like send that cat to another dimension"

Hope dissapears in her eyes as the possibility of him being dead. After all these years she sees him finally, only to hear that he could already be dead.

A few years later

One by one, the old enemies return to the spirit realm. General Kai flies into the golden portal, leaving Tai Lung to be the only one left.

"Guess it's your turn now" Po turns to his old foe, holding his staff with a tight grip.

Tai Lung shakes his head "I won't, atleast not yet, Dragon Warrior. I have some businesses to take care of" He turns and walks up the stairs. The Bandits, along with po's dads stand aside to let him walk past.

"Should we just let him walk out of here like that?" Zhen asks Po, using her thumb to point towards the leaving snow leopard."I mean, what is the worst he can do now that he isn't out for revenge" The panda replies, shrugging his shoulders.

Meanwhile (Y/n) was in her home, pouring some tea in a small cup. She pauses when she hears rummaging, it sounded like it was near.

Turning around, she finds her old friend bend down on one knee. Tai Lung had his head lowered, not meeting her eyes.

"Tai Lung..." (Y/n) mumbles underneath her breath, taking the few of someone she hadn't seen for so long.

"I have down many reckless and irresponsible things. All I ask for you is your forgiveness, only if you think I deserve it" Tai Lung says, not moving an inch.

(Y/n) stays quiet, not sure what to say. The snow leopard takes the silence as rejection, he was about to get up and walks away.

When he was brought in to en embrace by one other than the (Y/a) "You don't know how much I've missed you"

"I missed you too, my dancer"

Legend of the Selkie and the Pirate

Am I a dumbass for starting another story? Yes. Do I care? No.

This will be a bit like Cats & Ships where we switch POV, but also inspired by prompts I found in an old document.

Fandom: One Piece (LA mainly)

Rating: Teen/mature (we have non-graphic nudity stated)

Part one of ?

Pairing: Buggy/Selkie!Reader

Warnings: Violence, hinted attempts at sexual assult by background characters. Followed by... more violence.

The seal I personally imagine is the leopard seal, but I try to be nondescriptive so you can have your own ideas.

Summary: Even in a world of monsters, devil fruits, pirates, and fishmen, selkies were considered a myth. Especially in the East Blue where the waters were too warm for seals to live anyways.

Except that myths were always seeded with truths, and stories always had a habit of coming to life.

Alternate Summary: You thought it would be easy to follow the stars home to the Arctic when you ended up far too south. Unfortunately, you were wrong.

Fortunately, another kind of star kept pulling you in-- the Flashy Fool: Buggy the Clown.

Unfortunately, this also leads you to question where 'home' really is.

(Meanwhile, Buggy is likewise conflicted. He handles it poorly.)

Ao3 | masterpost

Prompt:  Dreams/Nightmares

For Buggy, he swore it was a dream the first time he met you. It was some nameless town whose populace proved less than thrilled by their not so free entertainment. Even though his freaks had put on an extremely flashy show, the townspeople had barely clapped. 

 Watching the waves lap at the rocky beach under the full moon, dreaming of the treasure lost beneath (that he would never be able to reach) was still one of his favorite ways to unwind after a long day. Even if the sea hated him, he was still in love with it.

Yet that night something else broke the waves other than rocks or a boat. 

A seal. 

That instantly caught his attention. He hadn't seen a seal this far in the East Blue, and only had vague recollections of seeing them when serving with Gol D. Rodgers’ crew in the colder waters of the poles. 

Yet before he could ponder that oddity for long, things became weirder as the seal shifted, its skin becoming nothing more than a cloak over a woman's shoulders. 

A very curvy, naked, woman. 

His eyes widened in surprise as she looked up at the stars, a frown on her face and apparently unaware that she had company on the small beach.

Well, he had to fix that, didn't he?

~*~

For you, that night was a living nightmare. 

You gazed up at the stars, comparing them to the map you had (somewhat) memorized of the stars back home. 

You… were lost. You were very lost. 

"Mother Sea," you swore, rubbing your face as you tried to think. If the North Star was there, then you were… to the southwest? Or southeast? 

Well, too south either way. 

(What if that wasn’t even the north star?)

"And what do we have here?"

You froze at the unfamiliar voice, pulling your seal-skin closer as you turned. You had been warned about land-kind (humans and fishmen both) stealing one's furs right off one's back and using it as blackmail for all sorts of things. 

This one was human, you decided, judging by the tall thin form walking out of the shadows. (How did they survive without any meat on their bones to keep them warm?) Though you hadn't seen a human with a bright red nose like that… or strange markings on their face… 

Then again, you hadn't seen many humans this close either. Usually it was as a seal, and they were washed out by the bright light of the sun. 

You bared your teeth at him in a snarl as he walked closer, causing you to inch closer to the sea. "Back, human! Or I'll bite your hand off." 

Oddly, the human smiled, apparently amused by your words. With a flourish, he snapped his wrist and the rest of the hand came flying towards you, making you scramble backwards with a startled yelp. 

"Already off, sweetheart," he laughed as he booped your nose. "So let's try again. Who, and what, are you?"  

You didn't think, not when waves washed over your feet beckoning you home. (To safety, at least. These waters were too warm to be home.) You turned and melded back with your furs, ignoring the sharp yell behind you as you splashed into the waters. 

Prompt: Avarice 

Buggy was a greedy man, he could fully admit to that. Greedy for wealth, fame, power. Just like every other pirate, really. 

"You collect freaks, right?" The man pleaded as Ritchie dropped him at the pirate captain's feet. "I-I have a freak for you!" 

Despite the smile on his face, Buggy felt something twist unpleasantly in his stomach (or maybe something hadn't connected just right?). "You want to trade another's life for your own?"

His freaks weren't slaves. Sure, he was their captain and they obeyed them, but it was voluntary… mostly. Usually. 

They could leave any time was the point. 

And implying anything else already had condemned the man’s life. But then he led him back to the small merchant ship and pulled the so-called fream from the storage space from the hull of the tiny ship.

Chains bound your wrists, your mouth gagged with a strip of fabric. Dressed in nothing but a literal sackcloth. 

But Buggy was enticed by those dark wide eyes. So full of rage. It took a moment, but the clown-pirate recognized you from that moonlit cove just a few nights before. The mottled skin, oddly-sharp teeth. Those squishable curves. 

"--A real life selkie,” the merchant continued. “Her coat’s on another ship, just to make sure she didn't grab it. But--" 

His words were cut off as Buggy grabbed his throat despite the space between them. "I accept,” Buggy grinned as he looked at the merchant. “Her life for yours. Except she gets to keep hers. You don't. Not unless you can swim."

Buggy's hand carried him a few yards over the open ocean before dropping him, causing the pirate crew to laugh as the man struggled in the water. Meanwhile, the clown-pirate looked back at the woman, easily seeing the tell-tale signs of fear despite the attempts to cover it with anger. 

Selkie?  At first he wanted to scoff: those things were a myth. He remembered listening to the other pirates of his youth tell stories of beings that lived in towards the poles and looked like seals, but could shed their skin and become human. 

Which is exactly what he had seen that night. And after all, the Chop-Chop Fruit was supposedly a myth too.

He stepped closer, carefully studying the odd mottling of your skin, your just-a-bit-too-wide eyes, and the sharp teeth trying to gnaw through your binding. 

"If you bite, I get to bite back," he jested with a grin before undoing the gag, wondering if you even remembered him from the beach.

 He half expected you to snap or spit considering the expression on your face, but you did neither as you adjusted to no longer having the cloth in your mouth. "Water?" You asked after a moment, your voice sounding like someone who had screamed themself hoarse. "Please?" 

His grin softened slightly, becoming just slightly less manic. “Well, since you used the magic word.” 

Prompt: Difference 

Not having your furs made you… jumpy. It was like a piece of you was missing, which did not make your odd situation any better. You weren't one that typically socialized with those of the land. So being stuck on a ship with a motley pirate crew was certainly an… experience. 

Not a bad one per say, you actually were enjoying learning so much about their culture as you did small tasks about the ship to help out (your title was apparently chore-girl, or so it seemed). Most of the pirates were friendly enough, either asking questions or just ignoring you. 

A few you had to show that you were not as defenseless as you looked when they cornered you looking for 'special favors,' having heard ridiculous rumors about your kind. 

That, and apparently some human saw a naked person and presumed they were interested in sexual intercourse. 

Cabaji had been kind enough to provide you with more 'appropriate clothes' after that. Leading you away while their Captain reminded the idiots of their manners. (Granted, the fact the hand you had bit off was not going to return was probably punishment enough.)

It was easy to tell their captain, Buggy, was… different. For one, he could detach his body parts and send them flying as if a puppet on a string. (Devil fruit, some old memory in your mind spoke. Forsaken by mother sea and cursed by the Sea Devil himself. But you pushed such childish stories away.) 

But just the way he acted. Talked. It was different and had caught your attention in more ways than one. He may have been as thin as a piece of kelp, but he proved to be far stronger than he appeared. 

(Okay, you would admit it. He was handsome and charming. For a human.) 

You tried to convince yourself that all you cared about was the agreement you had reached after they had rescued you from the merchant ship: "We get your fur back, you do a little diving for us for some sunken treasure. It's a win-win." 

But even if you were able to find you fur like they promised, you were still so very lost. And unlike the others, the crew was welcoming. Buggy was welcoming. 

Not like the men who had caught you unaware while you had been trying to cool down from the hot tropical sun. 

You gazed up at the night sky, trying so hard to find something familiar and failing. You hoped it was just the bright moon and clouds partially obscuring the night. 

"Starting to think you’re a night owl." There was the tap on your shoulder, yet all that met you was a waving gloved hand that booped your nose before pointing to your other side. 

Buggy had his usual grin on his painted face (another human thing you were slowly getting used to) as he raised the arm missing its hand. It was so odd to see it return to its proper place and loom as if it had never left. "I heard Mohji had you bathe and groom Ritchie, so I would figure you'd be exhausted after that disaster."

You shrugged your shoulders. Trying to wash the lion had been fun, considering the cat hated the water. And afterwards, all Ritchie wanted to do was play as you tried to comb out his fur. And yet… "It's… hard to sleep." So many thoughts and worries constantly running through your head. Missing the heavy warmth of your fur. 

Missing being able to just swim to help relax. You knew humans swam, but how was a mystery to you. 

Buggy nodded as if he understood while he leaned against the rail of the ship, looking out over the waters. And you'd be a liar if you didn't take an extra minute to appreciate his form; long legs crossed, that thin lean body stretched out and muscular forearms braced against the wood. 

"I can help tire you out, if you want," he offered as he caught you staring, his grin wide as could be, punctuating his words with a wink.

You had a feeling that it was a joke--as most things were with him-- though you didn't quite get the punchline. You tilted your head curiously, mimicking his pose as you waited for him to elaborate. 

Only his smile faded once he realized his joke didn't land quite right. "Geez, give a man a beautiful gal and she's as innocent as a lamb," he muttered under his breath. 

"It's not my fault your humor is… different," you defended. "I'd like to see how you do if you were around my kind." 

"Can't swim," he grinned yet again, but one of those smiles that didn't feel sincere. It was a kind that reminded you of a threat, though you had never felt anything akin to fear when around him. "Pretty sure I'd end up as fish food." He paused before tilting his head thoughtfully. "Selkie food?" 

You shouldered him playfully before snapping your teeth at him. "Yes. Because our favorite food is pirates. Especially those with big red noses." 

His demeanor changed quickly, which you did not anticipate. His usual smile was gone, replaced by a dark look that seemed unnatural on his face. "I'll give you this time just because you're you, but no nose jokes." He growled threateningly, making you instinctively back up. 

"I-okay?" You offered placatingly. "I'm sorry? I don't understand, but I won't say anything more, promise." The last thing you needed was him upset and throwing you overboard without your fur. 

Nevermind the fact you didn't want to upset him even if you could swim. 

He glanced over you for a moment before his expression switched again, and he was soon ruffling your hair. "Relax doll. It's just a tender subject." 

You nodded silently, slowly relaxing but still on edge as well. You had seen his tempers, and don't particularly want that directed at you. "... for what it's worth, I think it's perfectly fine." You couldn't help but state, looking back at the inky black waters. 

Buggy huffed dryly. "You thought Mohji's little bear ears were real, so forgive me if I don't use you as a reference on what looks 'perfectly fine.'" 

You blushed as you sunk lower against the rail. "How was I supposed to know?" You had been so confused to see him with his hair flattened by the sudden rainstorm a few days prior. Which had been a riot to the rest of the crew, apparently. 

"Damn it,” Buggy swore under his breath. “You're lucky you're just...adorable." There was a hand at your opposite hip that suddenly pulled you into Buggy's side, his arm already waiting to wrap around your waist. "I could just eat you up."

You squealed as he nipped at your ear playfully, continuing the little joke between you. Yes, you threatened to bite him that first meeting, but it… was also a way your kind established and kept bonds between friends. Family.

Mates. 

Not that he would know that. It was just a game to him. And you would happily keep it that way. 

Prompt: Child

Buggy had to admit, despite the fact you were obviously a fully grown woman, there were times it was hard to see you as anything more than a child. 

Especially those wide eyes of yours opened in wonder as you marveled over such simple things like electricity or Cabji's unicycle. Granted, it did wonders for the egos of him and his freaks to have such a beautiful gal clap enthusiastically during training, complete with delighted laughter that needed no prompting. 

Okay, it was very intoxicating the way you watched. Like he was the most amazing thing you had seen. Forget the spotlight, he wanted the light in your eyes to always remain on him. He wanted to hear you laugh. He wanted to see your smile. 

He wanted all of it. 

(God it was so hard not flirting with you. He was a pirate, but he did have his own code of somewhat-honor. And you were thoroughly making him want to rip it to shreds because of the mix signals you sent.) 

And then came the times where it was clear that while you had a child-like wonder, you were far from defenseless. Those teeth weren't just for show as you proved when an idiot tried to cop a feel.

You weren't kidding that night when you threatened to bite his hand off. He wasn't even sure how you managed to bite the man's hand clean off, but you did. By the time he arrived to the startled gathering crowd, blood smeared your face like a mockery of his own makeup and the ex-crewman was wailing as he held a stump of his hand. 

The crewman shortly went overboard while level-headed Cabji found you some less provocative clothing. And he warned the rest of the crew that if anyone tried that again, he'd let you do as you please. 

Even if it was ripping out their throat. 

At the time the thought was a bit of an exaggeration. Especially as weeks past and he got to know you better. Your violent side was forgotten even as you'd smile and playfully nip at him with those sharp teeth. You were you, after all. Innocent as a lamb…

And then they finally hunted down the fisherman who had your fur. 

Even Ritchie shirked back as you took your revenge, and Buggy was both disturbed and uncomfortably aroused. He hadn't realized how sharp your nails were. How quick you were on land. How vicious you were. 

There was no mercy. And by the time you had your dark silvery fur wrapped around your shoulders like a cozy blanket, most of your body was painted red with the blood of your victims. 

"Join my circus," he offered as soon as your eyes landed on him. If only to stop him from begging you for something else as he stepped forward over the tattered remains of those who had wronged you, his arms spread as wide as his grin. "Join my crew." (Be with me forever. Stay by my side. Don’t leave me.) 

And for a moment, he thought you would take his offer, as you turned towards him, hand partially raised to take one of his. He already had planned that as soon as you touched him, he'd pull you into a hug. To hear you squeal with surprise and laughter. He looked forward to feeling those full curves pressed against his body, the soft warmth radiating from you.

His crew would be even flashier with a selkie. Such a beautiful deadly creature. Being. Person. He didn't even care what roll you took on, you would be amazing. You brought a new spark of life to his crew, and he needed it to stay.

But your hand dropped along with your expression as you stepped away from him. That light in your eyes shifted as you looked away, pulling your fur close to your body. "We had a deal. I'll gather treasure from the seafloor for you, but then I-I should go home." 

It was like you had ripped his heart out, and he couldn't will it back into his body. He lowered his arms, though he didn't dare let his smile fall. 

No one could know how disappointed he was. Or the fact you had just completely devastated him. "Right. Back to your little selkie pals, even though I haven't seen a single one of them trying to help you. Not like we have. We take care of our own, we'd take care of you." 

Okay, maybe a little of his anger seeped out, judging how you shied away. "I'm lost,” you tried to defend. “They don't know where I am, or what happened." 

It didn’t settle well with him. Because if you were his, he'd scout the whole four seas for you. Fuck a map, he'd go to the Grand Line blind to look for you. Raid the entire Red Line. 

But you weren't. And you would never be. 

Because his crew weren’t prisoners. “Okay then, doll face. A deal’s a deal, and it’s time to uphold your end.” 

Prompt: Running Away

How could someone look the absolute same, yet act so differently? 

Tension filled the air when you returned to the ship. Even though you had your fur and should feel complete, you felt… wrong as Buggy all but ignored you, snapping at the crew to take the ship to wherever you would finish your end of the deal. 

Was he that mad that you turned down his offer? 

But… you didn't belong here. Not just aboard the ship, surrounded by landkind. But in their whole society. You kept messing up, you were the odd one out. You couldn't contribute any to their circus acts. 

Besides, they had seen you overreact to knowing you had found the  ones who had stolen your fur. Even after washing yourself as good as you could with a cloth and basin full of water, scrubbing until your skin felt raw, you still could smell the coppery tinge of blood. Taste in your mouth. Remember the feeling of pure bloodlust and rage. 

If the crew had tried to interfere, you would have hurt them. 

You didn't know if Buggy could recall a limb that had been torn asunder. 

Buggy avoided you as the ship tore across the open sea. Before, he would find you several times throughout the day, dragging you to show you something. Or venting about something or another. Or just… teasing you in his own Buggy fashion. 

Now it felt like he avoided you. 

The crew as well, who would give you looks but usually just left you alone. 

You… missed it. How it used to be. 

But it was proof you didn't belong. Right? 

Finally, after days of awkward silence, you came upon a piece of ocean marked by rocks and shipwrecks. Masts and dark stone raised above the deep blew, rubble crashing upon both as the waves turned wicked. 

Finally, Buggy appeared, though avoided looking at you directly, and instead stared at the harsh ocean. "Deadman’s Stacks. Pirates have been trying to use it to escape marines for centuries, often with little luck. Only the best can navigate through the rocky outcropping and the wreckage. And rumor has it, it is a treasure trove beneath the waves." 

Cabaji held a bag out to you, "Fill this with whatever you can find, and a deal's a deal." 

You took the large rucksack, studying it and making a mental note of how to carry it when in seal form, before glancing at Buggy.

Who was still not looking at you. He used to always catch your gaze with his, and you loved the spark in his dark blue eyes. They were like the tropic seas you had begun to enjoy. Vibrant, warm, playful with a hint of treachery. 

Yet now they were as hard and cold as the waters of your home. 

You shoved the thoughts and emotions hounding you and quickly stripped the borrowed clothes, feeling the ocean spray briefly as you wrapped your fur around your shoulder. 

And jumped overboard. 

You heard the start of gasps behind you before you broke the surface of the water, the seal skin furs melting into your body as you changed, senses adjusting to being underwater. 

The damage above was nothing compared to below. You couldn't even see the sea floor through the wrecked boats, though the sea life had adjusted and seemed to thrive in the land-kind's ships. 

With the strap of the rucksack bitten between your teeth, you dove and searched. Finding the bits and bobbles that the pirates seemed to love and carefully placing them in the bag. Which was hard to do without hands, but you managed. 

Time was a foreign concept to you below the ocean,but eventually the rucksack was as full as could be without spilling and you returned to the surface. 

To your seal-eyes, everything was overly bright and hazy, but you could make out the large ship at least, swimming toward it. You could hear the crew once they saw you, whooping and hollering in excitement as you drew closer. 

You… never thought how you were going to get up. 

Just as you realized this, hands gripped your sides just behind your flippers and hiked you up into the air. You bit the strap of the bag in both fear and to keep it from falling as you were lifted up to the deck of the ship. 

Into Buggy's arms. You could make out the red of his nose and blue of his hair amongst the bright light, his mouth spread into a grin. 

Yet before you could do anything, he had set you down on the wooden deck and gently pried your rucksack from your mouth. Even with your poor senses, you could see and hear them clamoring over the treasures you had brought up. 

You had done your end of the bargain. Now it was time to leave. Part of your heart wanted to stay, and threw a fit as you forced your body to wiggle towards the edge. 

You heard Buggy call out for you just as you threw yourself overboards, freefalling into the waters below.

Skin into Fur

Hey, everyone! I wanted to work on something different and this is another AU of mine known as the Animal Shifter AU where there are humans that can turn into animals!

Feel free to send in questions or requests about this AU as this is an AU that I somewhat enjoy as well!

I hope you like it!

!-POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS-!

!-MINORS DNI FOR ANY REASON-!

Imagine that you are someone who is looking for a job, you’re having a lot of trouble as you aren’t really good at anything but eventually you come across a job that seems absolutely perfect for you

It’s a job down at the local zoo, they’re looking for new people to take care of the animals especially after a lot of the handlers just up and quit out of the blue

You called the number almost immediately and within a week, you were hired and being trained to take care of the zoo’s animals properly and you wound up being somewhat of a natural at it as even the more skittish animals seemed to warm up to you quite easily

Despite you being a natural at it though, there was one animal at the zoo that you were told to not get close to for even a slight second as this animal had given every single handler who has tried to work with him such an incredibly hard time to the point where many just up and quit or suffer some kind of career ending injury

This animal was known as “Spotted Evil” or “That One Asshole” by the zookeepers but to guests who visited the park and read the informational plaque outside of his enclosure, they would find that his name was actually Lucci

You weren’t looking to get your face ripped off any time soon so you just continued on with your life and caring for the other animals although whenever you passed by Lucci’s enclosure, you swore that you could feel his eyes on you like he was getting ready to leap at you and take a bite out of you

Whoever invented the safety glass for zoos to use instead of bars was a god in your eyes… Because lord, that leopard would stare you down…

For months afterwards, it was the same thing everyday as you would show up and take care of the animals that you were assigned to

The zoo would open and people would come in to look at the animals, you would even give a show or two to some kids about how amazing certain creatures were like you once gave a show about how cool wolves were but the wolf that you were handling just had to be an asshole and not cooperate at all

You constantly found yourself wanting to avoid Lucci’s enclosure at all costs though as you swore that the leopard was gunning for you as normally he would simply stay in his den or pace around his enclosure when it was around meal time but he seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to you

He would always and I mean ALWAYS know exactly when you were passing by his enclosure as he would seemingly appear out of nowhere to just stare at you and you specifically, it didn’t matter who was looking in his enclosure at the time

It could probably be someone wearing a full outfit made entirely out of leopard skin but he would only watch you… Hell, you were certain that if the world was ending on one side of the enclosure and you were sweeping trash on the other side then he would still just be watching you…

Eventually time passed and you left on vacation to spend some time relaxing but while you were away, the zoo made a decision that Lucci should find a mate and breed to have cubs as it may mellow him out a little

But when they brought in a female leopard for Lucci to mount and mate with, he didn’t show any interest at all and even seemed to be somewhat aggressive with the female leopard that he was given when she did things that he didn’t like

So the zoo tried again and again with different female leopards but nothing worked and eventually they stopped when Lucci attacked and scarred a female leopard that was getting a bit too pushy with him for his liking

You of course didn’t know about any of this until you returned from vacation about a half month later and your co-workers told you everything including how Lucci seemed to almost be looking for you as he would pace around his enclosure just staring out and scanning the area

It was an unnerving thought to you and when you walked by Lucci’s enclosure that day, his stare felt more intense than it usually did and you swore that he was plotting your demise in his head right then and there

You just tried to ignore it and when the winter came around, Lucci almost seemed to not stare at you as much as he would spend a lot more time in his den which was odd as you were pretty sure that leopards didn’t hibernate but whatever kept him from staring at you, right?

It was around this time as well that someone started hanging around the zoo, he was a man that looked even more intimidating than Lucci and also looked like he did not belong in a zoo staring into the giraffe enclosure as he would always be wearing some form of suit whether it be white or black

He was everywhere that you went but he never outwardly approached you, you personally found him strange and scary and so did your co-workers as they would tell you that they never saw him leave or arrive on the security cameras which was downright scary as it would almost seem like he would just appear and disappear

Eventually he approached you out of the blue one day and attempted to strike up a conversation with you, it was probably pretty obvious that you were uncomfortable as you kept your responses short while you tried to move about the zoo and take care of your work

This man kept trying to talk to you but you didn’t ever reply, he would show up everyday and just follow you around while trying to make conversation if he wasn’t standing off somewhere nearby

You wound up bringing this up to your boss and your boss thank the lord had apparently been looking for a reason to ask this guy to leave as they had been pretty weirded out by them as well so the man was asked to leave and when he wouldn’t, you called the police only for him to disappear as soon as they arrived

He never came back after that day which you were thankful for and Lucci became more active in his enclosure as he would come out of his den more often now, it was relieving to not have to deal with him anymore

But then the gifts started…

Little things would be left in your work locker or by it, it started with small things but then it progressed to bigger things and it was absolutely clear that you had a stalker

Checking the cameras provided nothing as there would be missing footage from every camera at a specific time like the person who was doing this was deleting the footage from the cameras themselves, it was downright scary and you got permission from your boss to start carrying pepper spray on you at work to defend yourself should the stalker ever appear

The gifts that would be left in your locker didn’t stop as there would be a new one every single day, it started off as semi normal things with each having a strong scent that kind of reminded you of the zoo but eventually they became a lot more weird as you opened your locker to find a good amount of fur on your things

But then one day, they became downright threatening as you found a dead animal inside of your locker bleeding all over your things. You couldn’t help but scream and the police were immediately called as this was getting really dangerous

The police couldn’t do anything as they couldn’t say for certain who had done it so they simply told you to remain safe and call them immediately if something happens

Your co-workers became worried for you as there would be a dead animal of some kind in your locker every single day and your mental health started taking a heavy hit, you started losing sleep causing you to look incredibly disheveled

All the while though, things at the zoo remained semi the same beyond your stalker leaving shit in your locker as you still took care of the animals, you still did the occasional animal show albeit with a co-worker now, and Lucci still watched you from his enclosure

The gifts never stopped and eventually you almost got used to seeing a dead animal in your locker everyday, it was still disturbing but you expected it more now when you opened the locker and found a dead animal bleeding all over it

Eventually your boss called you into their office one day and told you that you had to take care of Lucci now as the last person who was qualified enough to deal with him had quit the day before as they claimed to just not be able to handle it anymore

You were scared as that leopard seemed completely willing to rip your face off the first chance that it got but you were reassured that they’d be waiting with tranquilizer should Lucci even show signs of trying to rip you to shreds

The next day, you said your prayers and got ready for what was probably going to be a painful death by leopard as you went in to clean his enclosure and feed him but as soon as you were inside even though Lucci was right there and still watching you

He never made a single move to try and hurt you in any way, he just followed you around the enclosure staring at you and occasionally rubbing up against you like he was trying to get his scent on you but for the most part, he would simply just hang around and watch you whether it be from the trees or the ground

Lucci was chiller than you thought he was as he even let you pet the top of his head although now that you were closer, you were able to see that he had some pretty bad scarring on his back which the zoo claimed that he’s had since he was a cub

Time passed and you found yourself kind of becoming more calm with Lucci around as you felt weirdly safe whenever you were inside of his enclosure, he never made a move to hurt you after all and the weirdest thing that he did was attempt to push you into his den when you tried to clean it up a little

He was a good animal although he did seem to have a heavy dislike of whenever you left, you felt like you would just be able to chill with him as he didn’t even seem to mind it when you would pet him like he was a house cat and in fact he even seemed to enjoy whenever you would pet him

It was pretty good in reducing your stress and making your mental health better but what really made your mental health better was when the last gift from your stalker showed up in your locker as it wasn’t a dead animal and instead was a note saying that this would be the last thing that he left for you

The contents of the note then went on to ramble about these odd fantasy creatures called Animal Shifters, people who could turn themselves into animals and have the exact same abilities as them while keeping human levels of intelligence and even being smarter than humans as well

The note even spoke about how Animal Shifters prefer to use more animal methods of courting their mates and that they usually take human mates that they turn into Animal Shifters just like them so they can stay together forever

Knowing that the gifts were ending was a gigantic relief for you but also knowing that you would soon be safe with nothing to worry about anymore was even more relieving as your stalker finally seemed to be leaving you alone and exactly that happened as there were no more gifts and no more signs of your stalker

Life could finally return to normal and it did as your mental health improved and you no longer needed to carry pepper spray on you, you were free to just live your life working at the zoo

About a month later though, your boss called you telling you that they forgot to file some paperwork at the zoo and they could really use your help. You were reluctant at first but you soon agreed and got dressed before heading out in the middle of the night to go and assist your boss

There wasn’t that much paperwork and you being there was helpful although you remembered that you had forgotten something too so you told your boss that you would be right back and you walked out into the zoo to take care of the thing that you forgot 

It was a simple thing and you finished it in under a minute but when you were heading back, you saw something as it looked like a person and you assumed that it was just some teenager breaking in to cause trouble as you had that problem in the past

So you shone a flashlight on them to scare them off only to gasp in shock and horror as you immediately recognized who you saw, it was the man who kept appearing and disappearing at the zoo. The guy who always showed up in the suits

He was here and he was staring directly at you with an unreadable expression, your entire body was shaking and you didn’t know what to do but when he suddenly rushed at you, you found it in yourself to at least scream before he knocked you unconscious

When you woke up, you found yourself in a very odd situation as you were sitting in a familiar place with all of your clothes removed from your body like you were completely naked and you thought that everything would be ok until you saw the man nearby

He was naked just like you were and he was sitting just watching you like he was waiting for you to wake up, he was terrifying as there was no way that you would be able to fight him and he knew that you were awake so you tried to call out for help but it didn’t work

And when you noticed that you were in Lucci’s enclosure, you tried to call out for him to help you hoping that he would rip this man limb from limb and save you but he never came and the man simply grinned at you like you were funny

“No need to call out my name so loudly just yet… I haven’t even done anything…”

You were confused but then you saw the more animalistic aspects to him, a pair of fluffy leopard ears sprouting from his head and a long leopard tail stretching out behind him

It was unbelievable to you but it was all too real especially when you saw the parts move, you were in disbelief but then you remembered the note… Animal Shifters…

You thought back to everything that had happened and realized that Animal Shifters were real and this was Lucci, the leopard at the zoo and he had been trying to court you with all of the dead animals left in your locker

Attempting to speak did absolutely nothing as Lucci quickly pounced you, he put himself in between your legs as he moved them with his hands to wrap around his waist while he bit into you neck with his teeth in a way that you were sure was going to leave scarring

“I’m going to make you purr for me, you’re my mate and it’s breeding season…”

That made your heart sink and although you tried to protest, nothing came of it and it started a passionate night in the zoo as Lucci began to fuck you senseless inside of his enclosure

Any time that you tried to do something, he would growl at you and bite you again to ensure that you would remain submissive and obedient to him so he could do whatever he liked with you

He almost seemed intent on fucking you against every surface in his enclosure that wasn’t his den as he even fucked you against the glass that kept him from attacking guests looking into his enclosure, he never seemed to get tired either as he barely had sweat on him while you were covered in sweat and crying out from overstimulation

His cock was even stretching you as he pounded into you, you swore that his dick would leave a permanent imprint on your pussy after this but he didn’t seem to care about any of that

No matter what as well, he never cummed on you as every last time that he hit his climax. He always made sure to do it deep inside of your body and you already felt full from how much cum he had dumped into your body

Eventually though you began to feel different specifically around the area that he had bit you originally and although you didn’t think much of it at first as you were far too focused instead of what he was doing to you and it was impossible to take your attention away from it until you saw that you had fur spreading over your body

And it wasn’t just any random animal fur as it was leopard fur…

You were turning into a leopard! Lucci’s bite was turning you into a leopard just like him! You were becoming an animal shifter!

There wasn’t anything that you could do about it though as no matter how hard you tried to get away, it never worked and Lucci would simply bite you again and make the transformation into a leopard much faster

Soon enough you looked like a leopard-human hybrid and Lucci transformed to match, he became a lot rougher when you reached this stage especially considering the size difference between you and him now as he became a lot bigger than you in his hybrid form while you stayed normal sized

You almost felt like he was using you as a sex toy with how rough he was but he kept telling you that you were his mate and that you weren’t going to be able to leave him especially not now and not with his cubs in your belly or your slick covering his cock

It wasn’t too long after that though that you found yourself completely turning into a leopard form with him transforming to match, it was only now though that he dragged you back to his den where he mounted you and fucked you one last time but this time, it felt more like he was actually trying to take your pleasure into account

It was almost like he was legitimately making love to you now that you were far too exhausted to do anything to fight against him, you just moaned and acted submissive to him which he enjoyed

Once it was finally over, he didn’t pull out and simply curled up with you inside of his den with his cock still buried deep inside of your pussy and his tongue grooming the areas that he had bitten you

After that, you were never able to get away from him as although the zoo did question where you had come from. They weren’t able to get anywhere near you as Lucci would guard you from anyone who would come into the enclosure and it wasn’t like they could understand you either as you were just a leopard to them

You weren’t their co-worker anymore and instead you were Lucci’s mate who he made sure was well taken of as he would give you the best parts of the meat that would be given to the both of you and he would even give you more than him

You tried to keep hope that you could escape from this fate and live as a normal human again instead of living a life as an animal shifter but you soon found out why Lucci kept giving you more food than him and also why he kept giving you the best parts too

Lucci did say that it say that it was breeding season after all when he turned you…

Could you do some Bob x Shapeshifter!Reader headcannons? 🤩

OMG I GUESS THIS KINDA COUNTS AS A MONSTER READER!!! IM SO HAPPY i hope i did this right :sob:

Word Count: 1,745

Content: gn reader, i swear like twice, reader eats humans (they aren't even human themself)

Proofread: no

Bob Velseb x Shapeshifter Reader

now let's say you are not actually human (obviously) for this story, you only use a human form for the purpose of blending in. i'll leave your true form to your imagination ;)

it all started when you were just chilling in a tree as a leopard. the moon was out, you were laying on a branch and chewing on the remains of you last meal, enjoying the peaceful silence that surrounded.

your personal time was interrupted by the sound of leaves crinkling nearby. you sat up and used your incredible night vision to see who or what was disturbing you, and spotted a fat red man lurking in the dark, the smell of blood lingering on him.

your fur changed to a darker colour, switching to stealth mode, and you quietly dropped down the tree, light as a feather. you stalked the man around the woods, and he looked as if he were rushing to be somewhere.

then you saw a house in the distance, it looked abandoned but suitable for someone to live in.

you saw him enter the house and when he did, it seemed as if the interior was like a regular home you'd see. the outside, though, made it look like it had been untouched for decades.

he confidently walked in and shut the door behind him, locking it. you crept over to one of the windows and spied on what he had been doing for the next few hours.

the whole time, he showered, cut up some odd looking meat, cooked it, ate it, watched TV, then went to bed.

now, this man piqued your interest. you knew about humans and how well known they were for their intelligence and danger, but when you saw this man, followed him home, and watched him do his thing, you couldn't help but be curious.

you'd never thought about what humans actually did until now. you'd never thought about their regular routines, what their life was like, or anything. you'd only knew they were dangerous and to be avoided. but this one time when you took a moment and watched a human go on with their life...you wanted to study them, breaking your own promise.

so for the next few days, you would shift into a small animal such as a pigeon, sit next to his window, and stalk him. of course he noticed you sometimes, but he thought nothing of it. a little bird couldn't cause any harm, right?

he even thought of you as his little pet - feeding you every once in awhile. you enjoyed the free food, in exchange for sitting and watching him all day.

a few months passed and he started to grow on you. he gave you a nickname; y/n. you never really were called anything, due to never talking to anyone else except the other animals you were disguised as, but you accepted the nickname as you had no other choice.

but when one day, someone came knocking on his door, he didn't know how to respond. he thought he was well hidden.

when he opened the door to see you in human form, he asked what you wanted. you said you were cold and you needed shelter. in his mind, he was planning to eat you. in your mind, you were planning to stay with him so you could study him better. not being a real human, you thought it could work out that way.

so when he suddenly pinned you down and held up a knife, acting as if he were about to harm you, your instincts to fight back took over.

you shifted yourself into a chipmunk so you could get back, making him fall forward onto his face, then shifted back into a bear. you roared at him, giving out a clear message to get back. he got up and slowly backed away, whilst you tried to stand but failed due to your height combined with the small ceiling.

he was frozen in place at that moment, not sure what to do. i mean, he was just trying to kill you, then you turn into a fucking bear. how does that even happen.

he shook it off, he's in a life or death situation right now - it doesn't matter how you did it, what matters is how he's gonna survive!

but then suddenly, you shift back into human form, and calmly apologize to him about your sudden outrage. what.

you explain to him that you are not actually human, your what they call a "shapeshifter"

you explain to him why your here too, that you've been spying on him as a bird and you wanted to learn more about humans.

he stares right at you in disbelief. his expression literally says "what the fuck" and his smile has dropped. you get the message that he needs time to process this, you didn't consider the fact humans were very fragile

so you say goodbye as he rubs his forehead, trying to calm himself down and explain to himself what just happened. you walk out the door and shift into a deer, going to do whatever you do.

the next day you decide to check on him, so you shift back into your pigeon form and go back to his house. tapping your beak on the window, bob doesn't seem to respond. your tap again and he doesn't come running to feed you like he usually does. you internally sigh and try one last time, and he finally opens the window.

sighing, he lets you in. you notice dark bag under his eyes, from researching about "shapeshifters" and thinking about what happened last night.

you fly in and turn yourself human. you ask if he's okay, and he ignores your question asking you about yourself.

for awhile its you two interrogating each other about humans and shapeshifters, asking each other about what they really are for a few hours.

after that period of time you two finally come to agreement - you can stay in his house so you two can find out more about each other. he's as curious about you as you are about him.

he lets you sleep on the couch at first, but later on when the nights get colder, he lets you sleep in his bed to snuggle up with him as a bear or wolf. its mostly because he needs the warmth.

he lets you try all different kinds of foods to experiment, especially his own taste of food. if you like his taste better, he will absolutely love it.

when you explain to him more about shapeshifters, he asks you to show him a demonstration of most of your forms. you oblige and show him how you can change your own colours, like turn yourself into a rainbow ball python (OMG THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS SO CUTE IM GONNA DRAW THAT)

you also tell him you have a true form. he asks you to show him that, and you also oblige. (your imagination can go wild with this one, though :)

he likes your more cuddly forms, like canines. they're perfect for him to cuddle, plus he loves dogs.

he will ask you to help him with his 'hobby.' like he will ask you to help carry stuff for him while your in a stronger form, or kill someone with a venomous bite so it isn't so bloody.

your gift is very helpful to him, if he needs to find that one thing he lost 2 years ago you will sniff it out and find it

over the course of time passing you two grow closer and even could call yourself friends

more like roommates but hey

then he catches feelings for you, and he doesn't know what to do about it

he starts getting closer to you with physical touch, he thinks you'll think thats normal but you catch on and know it isn't since you've been watching him closely

he lets you move to his bed, and his excuse is because of warmth

thats only partially the truth

you catch yourself also falling for him but you don't know what the feeling is, you only think that its normal to feel this way

you've live in the wild all your life, of course you will think its normal

until he starts confessing to you. one day he explains to you the concept of being in love and expresses it towards you

im not gonna write a whole confession right now but i think you get it

yada yada you start dating

now for more headcanons but dating

like i said, he keeps you in his bed. your so cuddly as a wolf, he cant help it he thinks its so cute too

he'll let you relax on his lap as he strokes your soft fur very gently, enjoying the serotonin that comes from petting you like a lil dog even though your currently a giant wolf

when your something smaller like a big or a hamster, he'll let you sit on his shoulder while he does house chores

he'll also smuggle you around in a lil bag lol

if he goes fishing or something he'll let you jump in as an alligator and catch the lil fishies for him. bro's cheating the game >:(

he also likes to use dog tricks on you for his own amusement, like he'll tell you to sit and give you a dog treat

he also loves to play games with you, like fetch

he'll throw a stick in a direction and you'll go chase after it, reminds him of his childhood (i headcanon he had a dog in his childhood)

he doesn't take you out in public very much, you don't really know how to human so he prefers you stay home most of the time

slightly random but if your running around as a cat or something and some kid hurts you, they're already dead

also he likes to use you as transportation. if he needs to get somewhere quick he'll use you as a horse. of course he gets weird looks in public but that just makes it funnier

like. imagine this fat murderer dude riding around on a horse bareback just holding on and not even driving...what

bonus if he's wearing a cowboy hat

ok wait this is not even slightly related to these headcanons but. bob in rdr2

THINK ABOUT IT

he'd be such a goofy ahh character

k im done being goofy thank 4 reading jesus christ this is long oh btw i WILL draw a rainbow ball python and no one will stop me (more like let my friend to draw it then i can colour it rainbow on magma...)

MK X READER (idk what to title yet lol)/Porty MK x reader.

(A/N): Okay so I hope this doesn’t suck but it probably does. I’m not sure where I’m gonna go with this story or if I’ll even write more, it just depends tbh. But I had this idea while bored at work and couldn’t not write it down. Pls forgive any spelling errors I’m kinda dumb!!! ⚠️There is definitely some suggestive content in here but nothing graphic atm, but I’ll give warning if things progress in later chapters. Also I don’t care how much of a jerk he is, all MK’s, clone or not, ask for consent!!!⚠️ This is an MK x reader fic that starts out with Porty MK x reader, not even sure if Porty MK will make a comeback for a while. Set just after season 1! TW- Alcohol and some light cursing. Ok I think that is everything! Pls let me know what you think!!!

Blaring base made ripples in the drink you clutched. What little was left before you threw your head back and downed the rest of it at least. Despite this being your…5th? Yeah 5th sounds right. Despite this being your 5th drink of the night, the heat of the bitter liquid still made you cringe like you swallowed a lit match. But it went smoothly and your head felt light as you rejoined the dance floor. Your friends had all parted ways, posting up at different areas of the club with different groups, leaving you to figure yourself out in the middle. Now, this wasn’t usually your scene, much more of a stay inside kinda person, but you started a new job that upcoming Monday, some little restaurant and the stress was mounting. After spending time and money in college working for a practically useless degree and claiming your independence early on by moving out as soon as you had the chance, you would take any job you could get to keep your lights on and water running. And it seemed like Pigsy’s Noodles would be that job for the time being until you could move on to a steady career. So a little liquid courage makes total sense.

The push and pull of the crowd had managed to get you closer to the front and the base somehow managed to ingrain the beat into your skull, you could feel the pulse from behind your eyelids as they fluttered groggily. It took a few seconds before you realized that you were making eye contact with someone. Said someone being the DJ as his shutter shades dropped from his eyes and rested on the bridge of his nose. He gave you, and this is not an exaggeration, the douchiest smile you’ve ever seen and you felt yourself smiling back almost immediately. He looked like a stereotype of a rave boy had gained consciousness, your eyes didn’t know what to look at first; the comically large teal headphones, the aforementioned fuchsia shutter shades or the literal leopard fur coat that was slung over his shoulders like a cape. He clearly thought your prolonged staring meant he should pose for you to check him out, so he did. A variety of hand signs were thrown your way, gang signs maybe..you weren’t sure, then he leaned forward and rested his chin in his hands, squishing his cheeks out, then he went as far as to turn himself around to send a smoldering look over his shoulder all while showing off his ass and damn…this dude has clearly never missed a leg day. You laughed outright at that one and his grin widened before he reached for the mic. “Alright porty people, make some noiseee”, his obnoxious frat boy sounding voice had an immediate effect on the crowd, you included, as you all cheered wildly. “That’s what I like to hear! Now I’m gonna take a quick break to rehydrate, but this dance floor better still be bumping when I come back..or else”. Oh dear lord he had fangs. Why did you find that hot? Where you really that drunk? When he glanced back to you and jerked his chin in the direction of the bar, you decided that yes you were that drunk and you followed.

Pushing past a crowd was difficult when sober so it was nearly impossible now, but you managed. The DJ was already seated and had an empty barstool waiting, a drink somehow already in his hand. You could see the people around him excitedly nudging each other and getting photos of him but he didn’t seem to pay attention as you approached. You didn’t sit, just in case your little dance floor interaction had been a side affect of the booze and you were about to make a fool out of yourself. But then he gestured to the chair then you you and you got the message. “Hey”, was all he said and got a closer look at those fangs. “Hey yourself”, you had at least attempted to be flirty and casual, but his little chuckle said he could see right through you. “What can I get you”, he raised a hand and immediately the bar staff was pushing over themselves to get to you both. A young, giggly woman approached and quickly got your preferred order down as well as the DJ’s second before scurrying off again. “So what brought you here…”, he lingered a bit so you could fill in your name. “(Y/N)”, you gave it. (Y/N)! My first guess”, he snapped his fingers and you rolled your eyes at the obvious lie. “Amazing”, you said flatly, matching his smirk. “So (Y/N), you porty much”? Porty? Wow this guy was committed to his persona. “Honestly no, it been a while. But with the way my life is going to could see it being a more frequent occurrence”. Wow, not three sentences in and you were already over sharing, nice one (Y/N). He didn’t seem to mind, just chuckling, “I wouldn’t mind you becoming a regular sight”. You flushed, blaming it on the alcohol, “Wow! You are very forward Mr. DJ”. “MK”. You hummed. “My name is MK”, he elaborated. “My second guess after Mr. DJ”, you snapped back. Your drinks had arrived as MK laughed and the conversation continued at the same pace. It was like talking with him was a competition, both of you trying to one up each other with sly remarks and shameless flirting. Well maybe you felt a little shame but you swallowed it with your drinks. MK eventually and to leave to get back to work, but you caught his eye numerous times while swaying along with the crowd and you met back up on his next break. And the next one.

As the night turned to morning, the club crowd began to filter out save for the die hard partyers. Portyers, you thought with a snicker. You had switched from alcohol to water as to not totally overdue it but you were still sloshed and MK was just as much if not more. He wasn’t up on stage anymore, but pre mixed tracks still blared through the significantly smaller mosh pit that you found yourself in the center of. Arms were around you from behind as MK lazily hummed and murmured along to the current song. Your head was thrown back onto his shoulder and you peered at him from behind the shutter shades that had somehow migrated onto your face. This wasn’t the first time you had gotten a little touchy-feely that night, you had both thrown that out the window within the first few hours of knowing each other. But as he turned you to face him, this was the first time you felt his hands travel to a more pg-13 area. Your ass, he was shamelessly pulling you closer by your ass. Not that you cared too much at the moment. You both clearly have something going on, even if it is just a drunken fling. So you got even and grabbed his ass right back and he had the nerve to groan lowly. His shades slipped down your nose as you made eye contact briefly. He looked as smug as ever but you could still see the question his his eyes. You nodded.

The walk back to your apartment took considerably longer as you drunkenly pawed at each other but you made it. At just the right time, cause as soon as the door was shut, your back was against it and those fangs were pulling your bottom lip to give him access. Not that you minded in the slightest. For such a pair of chatterboxes, there wasn’t too much talking after that, just a lot of huffing and panting as you blindly stumbled to your bedroom. He had you down on the mattress and you could swear his eyes were glowing. “Are you sober enough”, he looked serious for the first time that night. True you could feel the alcohol still in you but no more than you would after a few glasses of wine and you could very clearly understand and consent to what was about to happen. “Yes, I’m fine. Are you”, you asked him and his lazy smiled returned, “You know it baby”. With that out the way, he dove down into your awaiting arms. “Let’s gets this porty started”.

A mothers love

Summary: Just a regular day at Castle Dimitrescu, with original daughter.

Autor’s note: first I want to say hi too everybody, I know it has been a long time since i have posted anything. I hope that in the future this wil change. It has been a while since I have writen anything let alone posted it so I’m not really sure how this one will turn out, but I have to get back in the groove. So here we go.

Also English is not my native language, so sorry for any mistakes you read. thanks in advance for reading this.

comments are always appreciated.

Why had she decided to come outside? Her body wasn't made for this kind of cold. Unlike her sisters, Elena wouldn't die from the cold, but it still affected her. Ah, yes, her sisters. Daniela's and Cassandra's bickering was the reason you had come outside. Everything inside had just become too overwhelming and caused her to shift. So to calm down, Elena had come outside, not expecting it to snow.

Elena shielded herself from the cold by leaning against a stone wall. The thought of cuddling with her mother spooked Elena's head. Most didn't see Alcina as a mother figure, but she was kind and supportive to Elena and her three siblings. She also gave the best hugs, in her opinion.

 Alcina descended the stair in the grand hall, and the scene in front of her was all too familiar. Bela is sitting in one of the seats reading while Daniela and Cassandra where their chaotic selves. The only one missing from the picture was her youngest, Elena.

Elena was different from her sisters. Alcina's DNA coursed through her veins; the other part was shifter DNA. This caused her youngest to have a taste for drinking blood. She also was a little more reserved than her sisters and liked to dose off in a warm corner in her leopard form until Alcina came downstairs for cuddles.

"girls, how lovely to see you all here together." Alcina's voice carried through the room like a warm blanket. A chorus of 'hello, mother' followed shortly after. When no fourth voice addressed her after a couple of seconds, Alcina started to worry.

"girls, have any of you seen your sister?" Alcina asks while looking at your usual hiding spots to ensure you are not just sleeping somewhere. When no answer followed, she turned back to them. Her second oldest and second youngest looked both a little guilty while Bela was glaring at them.

"no, mother." Bela answered. Alcina could see Daniela and Cassandra trying to come up with an answer.

"Daniela, Cassandra, do the two of you know where Elena is?" Alcina asked her two troublemakers, usually the reason her youngest retreated to another part of the castle. Without giving their mother an answer, Daniela and Cassandra disappeared into a swarm of flies and searched the castle for their youngest sister.

After several minutes they came up empty-handed and had to tell Alcina this. When Alcina saw their daughters return without you, she knew where to find Elena.

"girls, could the three of you stay here while I get your sister," Alcina said, making her way toward the garden.

 Outside, Alcina didn't see Elena, human or leopard, instantly. The snow wasn't making it any easier, and her youngest fur was almost as white as the ground. Elena was also smaller than her sisters. Perfect hugging size, she had once told Alcina.

Carefully scanning the garden, Alcina saw something reflecting in the moonlight. Looking twice, Alcina saw it were the eyes of the youngest in leopard form. Elena was almost completely covered in snow, and her eyes were the only visible.

Elena was watching her mother, the wagging of her tail giving it away. The anxiety she felt before was gone now that she had seen her mother.

"Elena, what are you doing outside, darling?" Alcina asked, stepping toward the garden centre. Elena quickly walked toward her mother, standing on her back legs. Like this, she just makes it past her mother's stomach.

When Alcina looked down, she saw big round eyes look up at her. Picking her up, Elena immediately buries her cold nose in her mother's neck. Alcina had to surpress a shiver.

"Little one, you are so cold. I know you can withstand the cold better than your sisters, but I still don't want you to get sick." Alcina coës, stroking her daughter's head. As if on cue, Elena sneezed.

"see! Come on, little one, let's go inside. I'm sure your sisters are already missing you." Elena snuggled closer into her mother as she carried her inside.

  Bela, Cassandra and Daniela are patiently waiting by the fire in the grand hall. They instantly flok Elena as she is carried in by their mother. Her sisters love Elena in this form, and she was always the cuddliest like this.

"Elena!" Daniela yells, running toward her youngest sister, closely followed by Cassandra.

"We are sorry for scarring you." Cassandra cut her off. Bypassing Daniela to get to her other sister quicker.

Elena looks up from her spot in Alcina's arms and down at her sisters. Jumping out of her mother's arms, she quickly transformed and put on her clothes.

“I’m not mad at you guys. you know I don’t like loud noises.” Elena says while looking at her two sisters. Elena saw how down her sisters were so she gave both of them a tight hug. After that, Bela wasn’t far behind in joining the hug.

Alcina looked at her daughters with a big smile. They really were a family, no matter how much they bickered.

Lyra can’t see their faces. They are sliced in half right above the mouth so that looking them in the eye becomes impossible. All she can see is their bodies and their smug smiles cast down upon her. Even their daemons are conveniently out of sight. Pantalaimon is hiding in her blindspot too and though she reaches for him he does not come out of it. But Lyra doesn’t need their face to know who these people are supposed to be. 

It’s a warm summer day and it’s Christmas Eve and it’s a rainy day indoors all at once. 

They’re in a garden of house Lyra doesn’t recognize. Mother is pouring herself a second cup of tea while directing her face pointed directly to the zeppelin disappearing over the horizon. Father kicks Lyra’s shoes under the table before sliding gift across the table cloth.

The three of them are inside in three layers on this chilly evening. It’s already dark and the only bright color comes from the crown sat atop Lyra’s head. She shakes a present in her hands and suddenly she sees how much smaller she has become. Only the legs of her parents are visible now, both crossed and seated on the couch watching her enjoy her gifts. They laugh, but it sounds like it is echoing from down the marble hallway.

Father’s laugh comes closer and rough hands are toweling off Lyra’s soaking wet hair. Her body shivers and he wraps her up in attempt to warm his child. Lyra relaxes into the embrace before her senses are overwhelmed by the smell of warm chocolatl in the air. Her mother’s long finger rubs her cheek. It’s as if Lyra’s neck is paralyzed, she can’t turn to look at either of them; not clear if that is a blessing or a curse.

“Here, it will warm you right up,” mother puts the cup of chocolatl to Lyra’s lips. Then in the warm summer day her face turns down to Lyra and the corner of her mouth twitches up, “Do you want a cup of tea, darling?”

Lyra’s voice is soft, “With sugar please.”

Father interrupts, “Too much will stunt your growth.” Then it’s Christmas and Lyra is looking down at a new pair of shoes, boots with a sole meant for rough terrain. Father’s foot taps against the ground, “You’ll grow into them. And once you do, we’ll go. All three of us.”

Lyra thinks she has never received a better present in her life.

The sun is back and Lyra opens the small present slid across the table to find a small dagger in a leather sheath.

“A knife, really?” mother sighs.

“I’ll keep it in my safe,” father responds, “But Lyra, you and I are going to practice with that thing. That little thing can keep you alive if you understand what it can do.”

Lyra thinks she has never received a better present in her life. 

The wet hair is being smoothed down. The chocolatl is already warming her up from the inside out. There seems to be no intention of letting her go.

“We need to draw you a bath, get you in some dry clothes,” mother redirects her words to father, “Why was she outside? I thought you were watching her.”

“You know Lyra, you take your eyes off her for two seconds...”

The dark, the sun, and the rain continue to happen simultaneously. How is it possible that Lyra feels so warm and so chilled at the bone at once? How is it that she feels closer to these two than ever and also so far away? If only she could see their eyes...

A snow leopard’s tail comes into view the fur reflecting the sun and artificial light creating a dazzling pattern of shining slivers of silver. It disappears behind the Christmas tree, under the garden table, around the doorway to the tub. The golden back of the monkey follows and Lyra can’t help but be drawn to them. Still, Pan is nowhere to be seen but she can feel him, she must. She shuts her eyes in each place and tries to tap into that sensation but the best she can conjure is nibbling at her fingertips.

“Sleepy?” mother asks.

Father laughs, “Do your numerous presents bore you?”

“She’s like an old woman caught in a sun beam,” Mother added. There was something about the afternoon light that was putting Lyra into a daze. The bath water rose up suddenly from her toes to her neck. “Now don’t fall asleep in the bath darling.”

Each scene fell quiet. As Lyra flitted between each world they became less distinct, while the outlines of her parents combined into a fuller picture. Still, it never reached the level of their eyes. The nibbling at her fingertips increased into biting pains as if her skin was being punctured.

“Where did you go?” Pan demanded.

Lyra’s head was throbbing. She wasn’t sure exactly when or where she was, but she was older than she had been in any of the scenes, by about a thousand years it felt like. “I don’t know.”

“You were basically catatonic. I couldn’t get you to look at me.” Pan sounded hurt. “We’re going to be late if we don’t go now.”

The clock read fifteen minutes to noon. Lyra’s heart thudded hard in her chest and she sprung into action grabbing her bag and slipping into her shoes. It would take at least twelve minutes to get to the Botanic Gardens and she wasn’t willing to miss a minute of her time with Will. If her mind didn’t wander, she could make it feel like he was actually there, even just about see his face.

i hope im not too late. microfic prompt request: whenever you're around, i never know how to act. woman, just what did you do to me?

This one got... strange... I started thinking about the transformative power of love, read a few Glen Cook short stories, remembered I had half-jokingly made a Black Company AU where Kira is a giant vampire wereleopard, and got the maddening urge to write about transformation in a more literal sense.

That is quite a journey! I hope this turned out enjoyable, or at least semi-coherent, haha.

Kirashino microfic #5/?: "Whenever you're around, i never know how to act. Woman, just what did you do to me?"

A day like any other. Shinobu took a bucket of washing water out to dump in the back alley, in need of an excuse to flee the heat and damp, the chafing presence of her useless, worthless, good-for-nothing husband. She didn’t notice the new odor under the usual ripe reek of warm garbage until it was too late. A sharp smell, like spice. Shinobu rounded the corner. The bucket fell from nerveless fingers. Crouching in the alleyway was a leopard as big as a draft horse, a primordial nightmare conjured from the blackest depths of the human hindbrain. Its skull alone spanned wider than her outstretched hands. A fuzzy, spreading calm came over her as it heaved itself to its feet with a coughing growl. Her own death, once a distant maybe, now drew so close she could see its grinning reflection in the cat’s pale eyes. The leopard only made only a half-assed lunge towards her before sinking back on its haunches, panting hard. When she gathered enough courage to open her eyes again, it was obvious why. It was hurt, badly. Loose clumps of black fur littered the alleyway like thunderheads in miniature. The left paw was a mangled stump. An arrow of fearsome length skewered the limb further up, entering the shoulder and emerging from the underarm. Somebody or something had tried to kill the cat, and mostly done their job. If she retreated back inside and waited, it would be soon adding its stink to the garbage heap it was squatting in. Back to the silence, the tedium, the pointed looks, the argument she grown too contemptuous to finish… Shinobu moved towards the leopard in tiny, cautious steps. It growled again, but showed no inclination to move. “I won’t hurt you,” she told it, hoping it would understand her intention, if not her words. She reached out and smoothed a hand over dark, coarse fur. Working slowly down from the neck, she reached the place where the arrowhead protruded. It was worse, up close like this. The fine etching on the face of the arrowhead was rimed in blackened crud. A constellation of hairless, crusted sores denotated places where the tip had rubbed against the leopard’s flank, like ringworm rash’s bigger, nastier brother. Touching it made Shinobu’s head buzz and her stomach twist in a sour knot, but no sores erupted on her skin. She didn’t drop dead. Now what? The who and what and why of what had happened were a mystery, but powerful forces had been at work while she was wasting her drab little life away indoors. Somebody had imbued this arrow with enough power to drop a monster cat, to kill it slowly and painfully, but only after they had thrashed it to within an inch of its life. Assuming it really was a cat. It had stopped growling when she touched the arrow. Now it just watched. Shinobu grasped under the shaft, pulling sideways as hard as she could. The buzz in her head rose to a skull-splitting whine, until the wood splintered and it cut off with a pop. She was left holding a truly wicked broadhead coated in leopard gunk. She tossed it away without bothering to see where it landed. The leopard sighed. It almost sounded human. “That feels better, doesn’t it?” She managed to suppress a flinch as it lowered its battered muzzle, drew its barbed tongue over her arm in a long, rasping stroke. The top layer of skin was gone before she even felt the sting. She scratched it behind the ears, feeling strangely pleased. “Good kitty. Nice kitty.” --- “There’s an animal out in the alleyway,” Shinobu told her useless, worthless, good-for-nothing husband as he bandaged her bleeding arm. “Can you go chase it off? It was big.” --- Two days later, something like her husband stood at the threshold of their home. So it wasn’t a cat after all. It wasn’t a half-bad imitation. He’d gotten everything right but the eyes. “Well?” she said. Playing coy. Trying not to sound too excited. “Come on in. Don’t be a stranger.”

#jojo's bizarre adventure #kira yoshikage #yoshikage kira #kirashino #shinobu kawajiri #girl! don't Androcles and the Lion that stinky alley cat! you don't know where he's been!!! #this is not so much a crossover as me spreading a schmear of mr. cook's style over a very silly idea lmao #aping a better writer's style was so much fun... i will do this again someday #there is also one (1) malazan book of the fallen reference in here. if you find it we are friends for life

Building Friendship

day 10 friendship. so that creature story gets a follow up of kaya and mira building their friendship

Building Friendship

Kaya had made their decision. Today they were going to touch Mira’s fur. Corus and Zeke were out, they wanted to go look at the stores nearby. It was almost unbelievable how much they had set up for humans to live with alongside the giant beings here. They even had special fabric to make it harder for humans to get hurt. It was pretty amazing.

Kaya climbed up the ladder Mira attached to the table. Her tail was resting on it and twitching. Mira’s fur seemed to shift sometimes, getting fluffier. They wanted to touch it so badly, but didn’t want her upset. They knew she was changing her habits for the three of them. Kaya noticed when her steps started to cause more tremors. It was right after Zeke said it was weird how silent she moved.

They made it face to face with the giant woman’s tail. Kaya took a deep breath and started to reach forward. Corus said that her ears felt softer than any cat he’d pet. They had been watching her tail for a while, she didn’t move it much. They finally pressed a hand to the soft fur. It was almost indescribably soft. They wanted to just lay against it.

Sadly they didn’t have a chance to admire it for long. Mira’s tail whipped and sent them flying. They let out a scream, even if they’d survive this would hurt. They squeezed their eyes shut as the ground seemed to approach them. They landed on something warm and soft instead.

“Are you ok?” Mira asked. Kaya opened their eyes and let out the breath they were holding. Mira caught them just before the ground. They had to try and calm their heart.

“Yeah, I am… thanks,” they smiled. Mira offered her own small smile back before returning to where she’d been resting. “You really are like a cat…”

Mira made a face as she set Kaya down. They were near her head as she settled back in. Mira had her arms under her head, but her ears were pricked up. Kaya felt like there was something they were missing. They wanted to get to know her more, she seemed on edge around them. It made sense, their meeting was pretty rough.

“Can I ask something?” she whispered. Kaya smiled.

“Of course!” Kaya’s voice was louder than they meant it to be. Mira’s ears twitched in response before laying back against her head.

“What’s a cat?” Kaya’s eyes widened. They started laughing, she was basically part cat and didn’t know what it was. The pout on her face made Kaya feel a bit guilty. “I don’t know most human animals… I never heard of cats before, but you keep calling me one.”

“Cats are animals we keep as pets. They have soft fur sometimes and hunt small animals…” Mira’s face dropped. Kaya couldn’t understand why being called a cat would make her sad though. “The way you move your tail makes me think of big cats, like lions and leopards. Although your fur color is different than any I’ve ever seen.”

“Oh…” Mira turned her head into her arms. They wanted to get her to look at them. Kaya thought she’d like hearing about cats since she asked. “In the future you shouldn’t go by my tail. I have less control of that, my ears are safer.”

Kaya nodded. They thought Mira would lift her head again, but she kept it down. They went a bit closer to her. Now would be the best chance to touch her ears, but something was wrong. It seemed like hearing what a cat was made her upset. They reached forward, past her ears, and touched her head. She stiffened under their small hand.

“What are you doing?” she whispered. If they were her size they wouldn’t have heard her. They started to pet her head, they did it for Corus when he was upset too.

“You seemed upset, I usually do this to my friends when they’re upset,” they explained. Mira jumped up looking at them with slightly red eyes. They weren’t wrong, she’d been holding something in while her head was hidden.

“What do you mean friends? Aren’t I like a cat? Dangerous to you?” Her voice broke and Kaya felt like an idiot. Of course hearing they hunt small animals would sound like she’s dangerous. They felt their own eyes growing wet.

“I like cats… besides you aren’t dangerous. I just told you what they’re like…” 

They paused thinking again about the night they met her. Mira chasing them like prey and tearing the head off that weird creature. They shivered at the memory of that thing’s eyes. Mira pulled away from them. Sitting up straight and looking away.

“You know, even though you three said you wanted to stay with me, they're still building a place in the human district. You don’t have to stay here… I’m not going to do anything if you leave,” she murmured. Kaya’s eyes widened, they didn’t want to leave.

“Do you want us to leave?” they asked. 

Mira didn’t look at them, but shook her head. It helped them relax. They climbed down from the perch she put them on. They weren’t good at it, but walked over to Mira and placed a hand on her leg. It was weird to see the difference in their size up close. They seemed like something insignificant next to her like this.

“It’s ok if you want to though. I mean, I guess I am a cat and being a… small thing near that is probably terrifying. I’m used to being seen as scary,” she laughed. Kaya hated that laugh from her. They leaned against her before sliding down to take a seat.

“It wasn’t exactly the same, but no one liked us back in our old town. We ran because they were planning to use us as scapegoats for something that caused a lot of trouble. It was a close community and I’d moved for work. Zeke and Corus had been on their own for a long time. I don’t really know why….” they said. 

They half expected Mira to decide that meant they had to go back. One of her hands came close and fingers surrounded them. Mira’s claws were pressing into their skin, but didn’t break it. They were brought up to her face before she opened her hand to leave them sitting in the open. She leaned forward and pressed her nose against their chest.

“I’m sorry that was why you had to leave,” she murmured. Her voice this close made Kaya’s chest rumble. They hugged her nose, this was nice. It was weirdly fun to be held by someone so carefully. “I’m sure there are other places if you want to go back to humans. We can get a lot farther than you would on your own.”

“Nope, I want to stay here. I want to be friends… if you want to be at least,” they said. Mira started to purr like that night they met. Kaya laughed as the purr started to make them shake. “Is that a yes?”

“Oh!” She pulled them back, the purr still rumbling from her chest. “Sorry… I don’t usually purr like this.”

“I think it’s fun. I kind of like knowing someone who’s a giant cat.” They laughed and smiled as the purring grew louder. Mira smiled at them, those fangs should be terrifying, but she felt like an overgrown kitten. “Wait, do you actually need to sleep as much as a cat does?!”

“I mean, I only need normal amounts of sleep, I just don't usually have other things to do…”

“Looks like I have an excuse to wake you up more often!” Mira nuzzled against them again.

“Hey guys we’re back!” Corus called out. Mira pulled Kaya down to her chest and looked over at the two humans entering the home. They dragged a cloth bag behind them. “We found what we were looking for! Mira, can you come take a look at this?”

Kaya looked up at her and patted her hand. They saw her ears relax before she stood and walked over to them. She got on her knees and set Kaya down next to the others. She reached for the bag as the other two stepped away. She lifted the bag and Kaya gave them a curious look. They had smirks on their faces. Mira opened the bag and once she smelled it her pupils blew wide.

“She really is a cat!” Zeke shouted. Corus was laughing. Kaya was worried and walked towards her. They got closer to her, but she started shifting. The lavender fur was covering the pale skin. “Mira?”

She reached out to grab the three humans in her furry fingers. Kaya stared up at those wide eyes, the pink was almost impossible to see. She brought them close to her face. They had a bit of fear as she brought them closer. Until finally she held them against her cheek and started to purr. All three humans started laughing.

“Did you two get catnip?” Kaya asked as Mira brought them over to the spot she’d been resting earlier. She curled up, placing the three near her heart. 

“I thought she might like it, I kind of like this reaction,” Corus smiled. He buried his head against her chest. The purring grew louder and Kaya pressed into the fur too. Zeke held them as he got comfortable. This would be a fun friendship.

[just-here-for-the-art-shit]

If you can, save the papers and schoolwork you do as a child, because reading them almost two decades later is hilarious and priceless- some of my personal favorite works (originally all in half cursive, half print because I was weird like that):

"A Good Carrer

I want to be a zoo keeper, I will take care of the cheetah and the sea lions. The cheetah's are carnivores and eat meat. You have to keep there exhibit clean and give them lots of toys to play with. Some cheetah's have pet dogs because the cheetahs are shy and they can get exercise with dogs, which is why I hate it when people say Cats VS. Dogs. Sea lions eat meat and like to swim. You must keep there water partially clean and you can throw some toys that float on the water. If the water is to clean it is not good for the sea lions because they don't swim in Chorline like we do. Sometimes they get fish frozen in ice blocks as toys."

~

"ZOO favorites

My favorite animal is the cheetah it has black spots on it's body and 2 black stripes going from it's eyes to it's nose. The spots are different from jaguars and leopards. My dad called a cheetah a leopard because he says he is stupid. They are the fastest mamal in the world. They can go 70 mph. They also have week jaws, so if they see lions and fight, the lion would probably win. But they are definitely a cool animal."

~

"Just the Place

Hey folks you should go to hawie. They got warm weather all year long. You can go to the beaches and lounge on the sunny beach all day with sunblock. You can swim in the water. You can try different foods and how to hula-hoop. This is definitely a good place to go."

[They should've paid me - I was doing free advertisement as a kid for a place I've never been 😂]

-

"SNakes are good

Dear friend I no you don't like snake but I am going to try and convince you to like by telling you three good things about snakes.

1. Snake's venom poison can be turned into medicin to give to people that were bitten by a snake.

2. They eat peskey rare and mice that we don't want in our house.

3. They control the population of there prey.

Also snakes are not slimy. I found a dead one and it was smooth like fingernails."

~

"Holiday Vacation

Over the holidays I went to this really fun children's museum. I pretended to work on a farm. Me and the other kids pretended that these green balls were grain. First we put them in this tiny called the screw carrier. The grown up then dropped in this thing that they fall in but you have to turn some levers. Then you put them in a bucket and put them in these three tubes. The one that I was putting the brain into led to a giant holder. When I was done I went over to these giant cow statues and opened the hatch to put the brain down. Then water came out of their udders."

~

"Describe a tepee

It is a mobile home for the native American indians. It has symbols on the outside and a flap. On the inside it has fur for carpets and beds and a bone backrest. It is made with many tall sticks that stick through the smoke hole at the top and buckskin with the fur shaved off the walls. An tepee usually has a fire inside it and that is why there is a smoke hole. That is how I like to describe a teppee.

P. S I wanted to tell that the native americans used a buffalo bladder for a water bottle.

P. PS These are for West native americans. I lived in New York and they had a thing called wigwam to live in and a long house of wood called a long house.

P. PPS I tried to make a tepee in the woods but my mother said I couldn't sleep in it because there are spiders at night."

~~~~

There was also a paper where I had to describe what happened on 9/11 but every time I mentioned terrorists, I spelled it, "therapists" ... So yes, apparently a bunch of therapists attacked on 9/11

[medicus-mortem]

@ikkaku-of-heart asked: “Despite your best efforts, it looks like you made it another year,” Ikkaku teased, giving Law a warm, loving hug. She’d been eagerly anticipating his birthday for weeks now, as she’d been putting together his gifts bit by bit. Some of them she figured he’d already gotten a peak of due to his regular scanning of the ship, but others she was confident he hadn’t quite been able to spoil himself for. The first gift was a thick coat that was a fairly convincing imitation of leopard fur in both appearance and texture. The next was a few new shirts, with the unspoken promise that his thieving engineer would let him actually wear them a few times before they inevitably found their way to her closet. But then there were the gifts Law couldn’t have known the contents of, even with his powers. One was a sort of handmade coupon book. Inside were slips of paper he could redeem for things like massages, first pick of morgue ice cream flavors, and even two whole opportunities for her to not argue with him on something (some exceptions apply, see fine print for details). The other item was a journal detailing their various cryptid hunts. It was a mix of chronicling the legends surrounding the beasts they’d gone after and detailed descriptions of just how cool Law had been taking them down and capturing them. “Happy birthday, Law,” she said with a bright grin, kissing him on the cheek. “I promise the journal is a lot less thirsty for monsters than you’re probably assuming. I figured you didn’t need any extra trauma with your gifts. Now hurry up and change! You gotta look sharp for your party!” Unprompted

Law rises from his desk, stretching out his back after a last minute period of work before the party for his birthday can start. Ikkaku doesn't knock when she comes in, simply throws open the door and presents him with both snark and his gifts. The doctor can't help the small smile that touches his features. The firsts thing he takes is the coat, fingers already toying with the fur and appreciating the calming affect it has on him. He hums in appreciation, liking the colour and form. Yep, he's definitely wearing this today.

The shirts get an appreciative once over but Law has a policy about wearing jackets without shirts so none of those are getting worn today. Then comes the coupon book and it draws out a laugh from the surgeon. He flips through it, smiling at some of the options here. How it reminds him of the coupon book he and Lamy made for their mother when they were kids. A small nostalgia wave of sadness hits him and he sighs as he puts the coupon book down on his table. It gets a lingering touch before he turns his attention to the last gift.

She really went out of her way to make this journal look like one of those old leather bound journals filled with hunting data. It looks good and Law does flip through it some, chuckling at Ikkaku's little illustrations that go along with some stories. He turns about and puts the book onto a shelf just above his desk, where he'll see it every day and have it within reach to read when sleep isn't available.

"I suppose it's a good thing I made it another year," he quips, turning a smirk to his adopted sister. "Now I get to tease you 'bout giving me a coupon book. What are you? Ten?"

He chuckles and steps closer to Ikkaku, pulling her into a one armed embrace as he hangs the furry jacket over his shoulder. He's smart ass about it but he does appreciate the gifts and the clear work that went into these. He appreciates everything his crew of beloved idiots do for him.

fire and ice - chapter 16

< Chapter 15 || Index || Chapter 17 >

“What are we doing today?” Blazing Cinder's voice sounded outside the den. Fire Heart blinked his eyes open and yawned. One of the downsides of being a young warrior - he and Gray Stripe slept right by the walls of the den.

“We're going on a tour around the territory with Black Leopard and Bright Flame.” He heard Sand Storm reply.

“Will we see the Thunderpath?” asked Blazing Cinder eagerly. By the constant sound of small steps, she must have been circling around. "Momma said it's full of scary fiery monsters that can fit whole Twolegs inside their bellies!"

“Uh, sure." Sand Storm replied, sounding caught off-guard. Fire Heart couldn’t help thinking the small molly would be disappointed when she saw what a dirty, stinking place it was. 

"What about a Twoleg ?" she asked.

"No Clan cat should want to see a Twoleg." Sand Storm replied with her voice strained, as if she spoke through gritted teeth. Fire Heart got to his paws and arched his back in a stretch. Two sets of steps padded closer. "Young apprentices are curious, Sand Storm." Black Leopard's voice sounded. "You better get used to it. Shall we go?"

Sand Storm had barely meowed a reply before a whirlwind of pawsteps sounded away. " Blazing Cinder ! Wait for me!" Sand Storm hissed, and Fire Heart heard her race after her apprentice. I'll be surprised if Sand Storm doesn't turn her into nest lining by the end of the day , he though.

The ginger tom stepped out of the den just in time to see Black Leopard and Bright Flame disappear into the fog. It wasn't as thick as it had been recently, but he still struggled to see them as more than shadowy blurs as the two mollies padded towards the gorse tunnel.

“What was that?” Gray Stripe’s voice wheezed behind him. He sat down beside Fire Heart, sneezed, and yawned.

“Just the new apprentices leaving for training.” Fire Heart looked at his friend. “You should be asleep." His friend should have gotten better by now. “Did you rest up yesterday?” he asked carefully.

“As much as I could between coughing and sneezing.” complained Gray Stripe.

“Then why weren’t you in your nest when I got back from hunting?”

“Do you think I get any peace and quiet in there?” Gray Stripe flicked his head back at the den. “Warriors trooping in and out all day! I found somewhere quieter, that’s all.” Fire Heart was about to ask where, but Gray Stripe spoke first. "I missed the ceremony last night. Who are the mentors?" 

Right . By the time the tom returned, the crowd must have been completely blocking the view. "Black Leopard, Mouse Fur, Mossy Patch and Sand Storm."

" Sand Storm ? Really?" Gray Stripe exclaimed. "She's barely a warrior!"

Fire Heart shrugged. "I guess it's because our training was more accelerated. She knows what it's like to get ready for a war."

"Well, it's not like we're going to war, with Broken Tail gone." Gray Stripe pointed out, sneezing.

Fire Heart shuffled farther away from his friend's breath. "Well, Blue Fur might be thinking there will be, with the way ShadowClan and and RiverClan are encroaching on our borders."

"What?" Gray Stripe had turned to lick his back, and now his tongue stuck out. "Since when?"

"What do you mean?" Fire Heart asked, baffled. "Everycat is talking about it. ShadowClan scent was found on our border, and same goes for RiverClan."

His friend frowned. "That's hardly an invasion, is it?" The tom meowed after some hesitation. "There's no reason to worry about RiverClan."

"There always is. You know how they want Sunningrocks."

Gray Stripe shrugged, seeming uncomfortable. He coughed, then meowed. "Well, anyway. I'm just glad there's new apprentices so we don't have to be stuck with apprentice duties anymore."

"Not like you did any." Dusty Earth growled behind them as he exited the warriors den. The brown tom glared at Gray Stripe. "You went swimming and now get to laze around all day. Misty Step coughed for a day and was all better, but you just sneeze and have us do all the work. Even Fire Heart acts less like a kittypet than you lately."

He got sick! What did you want him to do? , Fire Heart wanted to exclaim, but the brown tom was already trotting away with heavy steps. He sighed in frustration, and shot Gray Stripe a sympathetic glance. His friend stared after Dusty Earth, something steely glowing in his yellow eyes. 

The gray tom got to his his paws. "I have a headache. I'll see if Violet Fang has something for it. See you later." He murmured, then stalked away swiftly into the fog, not waiting for Fire Heart to reply.

Dismayed, he watched his friend disappear into the gloom. He hadn't seen Gray Stripe be so closed off since the night he returned from WindClan. Did he still resent him, after all? Or was he… lonely? Fire Heart lashed his tail. That was a mouse-brained reason to let himself stay sick! He hoped that Gray Stripe was indeed finding enough peace and quiet out of camp, and the length of his sickness was just leaf-bare bad luck. Sighing, he imagined that whatever lecture Violet Fang must be giving him about using up her herbs at that moment would help him realize he needed to work on getting better.

As pale sunlight began to slowly burn out the fog, Fire Heart made his way to the Twolegplace. After all that, he had to see Princess.

  ***

  Fire Heart yawned until his eyes watered as he padded across the clearing, stretching his muscles as he walked. He had been told he had a shift on night guard duty as soon as he got back from visiting Princess the previous day, as Mouse Fur had a cough and couldn't do it, and the chill of the night still sent exhaustion deep into his bones even after sleeping through the morning.

"Fire Heart?" A meow made him stop. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Sand Storm. Despite her confident stance, he could see from her eyes that she was tired. The four new apprentices had been training for a couple days now, and it seemed like not even Sand Storm was immune to the kind of hard work being a new mentor must be. Although, no one would really have an easy time training Blazing Cinder.

After some hesitation, he gave her a polite nod. She returned it, then went on. "Tiger's Claw asked me to take Blazing Cinder and another warrior on a hunting patrol to Tallpines. Do you want to come?"

"Me?" Fire Heart asked, eyes widening in surprise. He wouldn't imagine that Sand Storm would ever pick him specifically to go anywhere with her, especially with the way she'd been avoiding him since the gorge.

The ginger molly tipped her head to the side. "Unless you're busy?"

"Uh, no." He replied awkwardly. Suspicion then seeped into his mind. What if Tiger's Claw suspected of his visits to Twolegplace and was putting her up to this? "Why Tallpines? It's cold and foggy in there right now." This felt too similar to when the deputy sent him there on purpose as a test.

Her thin tailtip flicked. "Honestly, I'd rather have Sunningrocks, but Tiger's Claw isn't sending apprentices there now. You know, the RiverClan scents? The full moon is soon, seems like Blue Fur wants to wait and confront River Crooked Jaw about it next Gathering, unless we actually catch them hunting."

That made enough sense. With leaf-bare, Blue Fur probably wanted to avoid battle as much as possible, and the apprentices were definitely too young for a real fight right now. 

With thundering pawsteps, Blazing Cinder came running to Sand Storm's side, eyes shining and tail pointed up like a twig. "Aren't we going, Sand Storm?"

The warrior took a deep breath and exhaled through her teeth. "Yes, in a moment." She told her apprentice, then turned to Fire Heart. "So?" There was an air of pleading to her. The molly clearly needed someone else with her that day to help match Blazing Cinder's energy. He didn't really have a good reason not to go hunting with Sand Storm, if she wanted him to come.

Well, I guess it might as well be me , he decided. 

  Sand Storm and Fire Heart padded silently through the misty Tallpines, both feeling the instinctive ThunderClan warrior's discomfort at being in a place with no undergrowth to hide in anywhere. The springy layer of pine needles underpaw felt strangely soft after the frozen ground in the rest of the territory.

They stopped by one of the Treecut Place's monster's track marks, deep and frozen into the soil. It would be the only reminder of the large monster until greenleaf, when Treecut place would start up again. 

"Ugh, so prickly!" Blazing Cinder complained, shaking her feet as she walked.

"Hush!" Sand Storm turned around and hissed to her. "It's too open here, anything could hear you!"

The small gray molly scrunched up her nose defiantly. "I've been quiet the whole way here!"

"That's not really true, is it?" Sand Storm hissed back, green eyes narrowed.

Blazing Cinder gasped. "I don't lie!"

Fire Heart looked between the two of them, shifting uncomfortably. Had these two been butting heads like this the whole time? No wonder Sand Storm looked exhausted. Still, this whole thing seemed highly unproductive.

"So, uhm…" He began awkwardly, trying to change their focus somehow. "How's Blazing Cinder's hunting form?"

After glancing at him, Sand Storm sat down and looked at Blazing Cinder. "Show us your hunting crouch."

Immediately, the small cat dropped low to the ground. Fire Heart padded closer and sat beside Sand Storm as Blazing Cinder slowly made her way forward, brows furrowed with too much focus. He could see that her form was off - her paws were rustling on the dry pine needles, and her weight was poorly divided. He kept his mouth shut, however, and glanced at Sand Storm. The molly kept watching for a few heartbeats, then leaned closer to her apprentice.

"Your paws are making too much noise, tuck them closer to your body as you walk forward." She swatted a leaf that was stuck to Blazing Cinder's fluffy tail, then poked her haunches with her tail. "Focus your weight here - don't raise your tail!" The apprentice somehow scrunched up her face even more as she corrected her stance, making Fire Heart's whiskers twitch in amusement. Is she trying to look like Violet Fang?

After a few moments, Sand Storm finally seemed satisfied with Blazing Cinder's much quieter stalking. "Okay, go see if you can catch me a mouse. Remember, they sense you before they smell you." She meowed as the apprentice bounced away excitedly, although much more quietly this time.

Once Blazing Cinder was out of sight, Sand Storm sat down heavily. "I'll be kit-sitting this whole hunting trip, won't I." She mumbled.

He felt a flash of sympathy. "I'll keep an ear out for her too." Fire Heart promised.

Sand Storm sighed and closed her eyes. "Thanks." She murmured. Fire Heart got to his paws and considered going off to hunt, but hesitated.

"Aren't you being too harsh with her?" He ventured.

"I have to be firm with her." She replied, opening her eyes. "Blazing Cinder needs explicit direction, or she just- The other day she ran headfirst into Snakerocks! If I wasn't fast, an adder could've bit her!"

Fire Heart sat down again, trying to keep the horror away from his face at the thought. An adder bite could easily spell death for a small cat such as Blazing Cinder faster too quickly for any cat to try rescuing her. "She seems very…" He hesitated, searching anxiously for the right word. "... eager ."

"I think you mean reckless ." Sand Storm meowed, a growl edging her voice. "I wonder if Blue Fur was trying to humble me or something. I mean, did you see Bracken Leaf? That apprentice will be a breeze to train." 

Fire Heart quickly looked around to make sure the small gray molly hadn't returned. "That… wouldn't be fair, though. To either of you. Blue Fur believes you two to be a good match, she wouldn't have made this choice otherwise." He meowed. Although he couldn't understand how she trusted Tiger's Claw so fiercely, he still respected his leader's choices, and he knew that Sand Storm was indeed a great warrior.

The pale ginger warrior seemed like she would say something, but stopped, and cast her eyes to the ground in front of her paws. "Fire Heart… I'm sorry." She said suddenly.

His ears went up. "What for?"

"You know what for." She meowed sharply, then sighed. She raised her head to meet his eyes, her face serious. "I've never been nice to you. That was unfair of me. You're my clanmate, and… a decent cat. I'm sorry."

He stared at her, speechless. Fire Heart would never have expected to hear any type of apology from Sand Storm. First asking him to come hunt with him, and now this? He couldn't help but feel warmth spreading from his chest. "Thanks, Sand Storm. That means a lot." He managed to say after a while. She nodded in return, face still serious.

They stayed in silence for a moment, still looking at each other, when a scuttling in the pine needles sounded coming their direction. Blazing Cinder was marching towards them, head raised proudly as a small mouse hung from her jaws. She stomped happily as she placed her fresh-kill by Sand Storm's paws. "I caught the mouse!" Blazing Cinder announced, eyes shining.

"Good catch." Fire Heart told her. The mouse was small and scrawny, and wouldn't do much to feed an adult cat, but she had still managed to track and catch a mouse despite the still misty air among the pine trees with a couple days of training. The gray molly cheerfully thanked him, but clearly was waiting for her mentor to praise her. He side eyed the sand-colored molly, also wondering how she would react. A strict mentor willing to scare their apprentice into obedience, like Tiger's Claw, would be highly disappointed with such a catch. 

Sand Storm bent down and sniffed the fresh-kill. "Indeed. We can make a fine hunter out of you yet." She meowed, making Blazing Cinder beam. "Come, I'll show you how to save that for later, and we can catch more prey." The warrior beckoned the other molly, reminding her to keep her steps light as the apprentice followed.

Fire Heart followed them, keeping his senses open to prey. As the mollies hid the mouse under some pine needles, he smiled. Sand Storm would find a way to get along with Blazing Cinder, and perhaps, he could get along with her as well.
