---- ❛Steve,❜ Ian called out, keeping a good distance between him and the other man. One minute he's fighting alongside Sam Wilson trying to take down another hydra base and the next he was being ripped from his world and transported to this one. The difference was subtle -- if this hadn't been the second time Ian had been sucked into another world he might not have even noticed. But the world titled slightly different, the air felt thicker. After he investigated and realised what had happened (although he still doesn't know how.)

He'd searched for either Steve or Sam because apart from Sharon, they were the two people in any world Ian would always trust. So he'd tracked Steve down -- feeling like a stalker -- what else was he going to do? ❛Do you recognise me?❜ he asked lamely. Maybe approaching him on the street wasn't the best idea but Ian had always been awkward at these sort of things -- the big moments were not his forte. He usually left those parts to anyone else -- as long as it wasn't him. (@shieldretired)

Tradewinds Launch - A Fae Tales Novel - Jan 31st

FULL NOVEL RELEASE on JANUARY 31st - EXCLUSIVE to REAM & PATREON ONLY

In the dangerous, ethereal realm of the fae, alliances between the Seelie and Unseelie fae merchants are few. Some say impossible. Matan, a Seelie fae and peacock pheasant shifter with a talent for trade, must keep his Seelie alignment a secret as he embarks on a perilous journey to gather wealth and save a loved one from a terrible curse. He joins an Unseelie merchant caravan of fae who would surely eat him if they learned of his alignment. The enigmatic Udir, a paranoid Unseelie master of poisons and bearded vulture shifter, discovers Matan’s secret and threatens to blackmail him in exchange for vile favours. But Udir’s bravado and bluster hides a painful past and Matan isn’t as innocent or as naïve as he seems. Amid bustling markets, savvy clients, and travelling to new lands Matan has never seen before, Tradewinds is a story of love, found family, trust, betrayal, and the healing that can grow in the shadows of the vibrant, perilous southern fae lands.

Hey beastie, im sorry if you’re too swamped with requests but i had this remembrance of a fic from way back when. I think it was a oneshot but essentially it was Desmond returning back in time after touching the eye but it was to an alternate timeline/universe where it’s ABO but his biology is still standard with no second gender. Just curious on ur take and how you can spin this with his ancestors-thank you!

(I’m still swamped by requests/asks/reblogs but I’m slowly making a dent on it. As long as you guys don’t mind that there’s like… a month-ish delay for your asks/reblogs to be answered then feel free to keep sending me asks or reblogging/commenting on my posts with your idea and additions :))

I have not read that kind of A/B/O story but let’s see how we can make… Desmond suffer (affectionately).

So let’s set up some backstory first: Desmond’s world does not have the biological markers of A/B/O. This can either mean (1) Desmond didn’t time travel, he was kicked into an alternate universe where this world has A/B/O so Desmond has no idea about it or (2) by the 21st century, A/B/O markings have already been ‘wiped out’ by the passage of time and the ‘evolution’ of mankind (that may or may not be part of the Isus’ calculations) so Desmond has ideas about it but doesn’t necessarily understand it.

Backstory (1) would give us a way to explain to the readers how A/B/O works in this world using Desmond’s lack of knowledge as our basis as well as give Desmond a lot of scenes of just being confused or forgetting about it. Backstory (2) would give Desmond a bit of a break as he’d have an idea of what the hell is happening all around him.

Regardless of whichever backstory we use, we will of course make Altaïr, Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton ‘alphas’ in this one.

Alright, let’s see how we can screw Desmond up with each of them XD (warning… this also talks about their sex life… a bit)

AltDes:

So, first of all, Altaïr and Malik are alphas and Kadar is either a beta or an omega. Abbas is also an alpha (although it would be funny to make him a beta) and Al Mualim is also an alpha. The main idea is, the further Desmond goes back in time, the more alphas and omega there are.

Desmond would confuse Altaïr a lot because he doesn’t feel the urge to be aggressive around Desmond for not bowing down to him that he would get when he’s around other alphas but Desmond isn’t submissive like an omega or deferring to him like a beta. Desmond treats him like an equal without acting like he needs to show he’s better than Altaïr which has always been his problem with other Alphas (even Al Mualim make Altaïr’s alpha instincts want to show dominance).

However, Desmond also smells… really, really nice. Altaïr can’t describe it and the only explanation he can give is that Desmond smells like ‘home’.

Desmond, on the other hand, has no idea what the hell Altaïr is talking about concerning scenting and such because Desmond doesn’t smell anything funny. Even when he tries to smell Altaïr (which both confuses and also arouses Altaïr), all he can smell is the oil he used for his hidden blade, the smell of his robes and Altaïr’s own scent which just… smells fine? Like… it’s okay?

Altaïr falls for Desmond because of Desmond’s dismissal to the hierarchy that has long ruled over their second gender and finds himself attracted to Desmond’s personality. He falls in love because Desmond is his equal and there is no need for either of them to even try to take the other down to be the one on top.

Although, this is one where Altaïr usually tops, mainly because Desmond knew he prefers it. Desmond is also the only person Altaïr is willing to bottom for.

EziDes:

Ezio would actually assume Desmond is a beta that is using a scent blocker for a while.

He would only realize that Desmond isn’t a beta because of Desmond does his own thing and just raises an eyebrow whenever Ezio tries to use his ‘alpha voice’ to get Desmond to try and cooperate with him.

Ezio would be the one who would have the hardest time with his feelings for Desmond because he was raised with the idea that alphas must mate with omegas (something that this world’s church advocates for and the Auditores were raised with those ideas) and he wants the kind of alpha-omega marriage his parents had (if you want more drama, ‘enter Lorenzo’ to make Ezio question just how 'perfect' his parents' marriage was XD).

After Ezio learns that Desmond is the one Minerva is talking about, he gets this idea that Desmond has no secondary gender because he’s a divine being. This gets more complicated when they learn that Isus don’t have secondary genders as well (and that the Isus made humans with secondary genders to make it easier to control them but they only made betas and omegas, the first alpha was Eve who ‘transformed’ when she became a hybrid). It's after Ezio learned of Desmond's connection to the 'Isus' (sorta) that Ezio realizes why Desmond smells like 'hope' to him.

Ezio finally gets his head out of the sand after Desmond confesses to him that he loves him and Ezio realizes that he doesn’t want an alpha-omega marriage anymore. All he wants is a future with Desmond by his side.

These two are the ones that tend to switch a lot. Even as an alpha, Ezio is game with anything as long as it’s fun and pleasurable. He’s more of a power bottom though because he can’t help it.

ConDes:

Ratonhnhaké:ton actually thought that Desmond not having a secondary gender is a quirk that happens with the colonizers. It’s only when he sees that the other colonizers think Desmond is weird that he realizes that Desmond is an ‘anomaly’.

He doesn’t care about it though because Desmond has been a loyal friend since they met and, sure, he knows Desmond isn’t saying everything but he trusts him.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is actually the most relaxed with Desmond because he doesn’t feel the urge to dominate that is common with alphas. It’s just… peaceful. And that's what Desmond smells like to him: 'peace'.

This is more of the side of friend to lovers kind of deal with both of them not realizing that they’re falling in love with one another until they’re in too deep.

Ratonhnhaké:ton would also be the one to have the least amount of angst about Desmond’s lack of a secondary gender as he believes in the actions people make, not of what they’re supposed to be.

Desmond honestly forgets about the whole secondary gender thing the most in this one because Ratonhnhaké:ton doesn’t try to flaunt it or anything. He thinks a lot of alphas are just dicks, forgetting that it’s encoded in their genes to want to be the dominant one even in normal conversations. The way some of the alphas do try to do it? Yeah, that’s just them being dicks, has nothing to do with being an alpha.

Haytham thinks that their relationship is strange though and might even think it’s because of how Ratonhnhaké:ton was raised (although both Ratonhnhaké:ton and Desmond aren’t sure if Haytham is insulting Ratonhnhaké:ton’s village or Achilles?) but he tries to be polite to Desmond when he and Ratonhnhaké:ton are working together.

Desmond gets into Haytham’s nerves a lot, mainly because Desmond is doing it on purpose because he knows Ratonhnhaké:ton’s feelings for Haytham (and that childhood desire to have a father) stops him from saying what Haytham needs to hear.

The Homestead doesn’t care about how strange Desmond and Ratonhnhaké:ton’s relationship is as all they care about is that the two are happy (plus the two of them helped everyone one way or another so they know they’re good people)

Ratonhnhaké:ton has never thought about bottoming before but he wants to try it for Desmond. It just takes a bit of a time for him to ready his ‘heart’ though.

Sorta dark addition:

So there’s this thing called ‘bitching’ which is mainly used to make an alpha into an omega and it’s usually in the realms of noncon or really questionable dubcon. I’m just thinking if it’s possible to make Desmond who has no secondary gender into an omega by ‘bitching’ him? Probably not because his body doesn’t have any marks of a secondary gender (unless…) so maybe the help of a POE would be needed as well (like the Shroud that we know deal with the physical body). Of course, this is a slippery slope that can either make this idea quite dark (and, ngl, it would work well with a dark!Altaïr who wants to have a family with Desmond) or this has to have Desmond’s full consent first and the main idea isn’t that Desmond wants to be an omega to preserve the hierarchy or order of things or whatever but because they want to have a child of their own. Of course, the bitching doesn’t have to happen to Desmond in this route… XD

MORE TURTLE ANGST AU BECAUSE TURT ANGST

because i am very very obsessed with versions of the turtles meeting each other i couldn't stop thinking about the utter angst that would ensue but also the softness and slow found family vibes

specifically the 2012 turtles meeting versions of themselves where tang shen doesn't exist, where splinter's entire world is the turtles + april

the 2012 turtles meeting, say, the rise!tmnt, the bayverse!tmnt, or the mutant mayhem!tmnt?? versions of the turtles whose splinters never had a serious love interest prior to their creation, whose love and attention was always solely focused on them?

i'm thinking about bayverse!splinter, who sacrificed himself for his boys without a second thought, who finds out about another version of himself who has all but pushed the turtles away, the precious turtles who are the light of splinter's life

mm!splinter, who literally was desperate to keep his beloved sons protected from possible dangers, who faced his greatest fear in order to help his boys, seeing how broken, how tired they are.

rise!splinter, who, despite how it seems, can and will put his boys above everything else, who cannot even fathom the idea of not wanting his sons around, of falling back into his life before the boys, seeing these versions of his sons be so easily abandoned

just... the 2012!turtles meeting different versions of themselves, and meeting different versions of splinter, and being so fully prepared to recieve that same cold shoulder, only to be gathered into warm embraces, and have gentle, fatherly reassurances whispered to them.

and they're rightfully hesitant, they're unsure, because having your father immediately turn to his original family without a second thought leaves some lasting trauma and pain, but they can't resist falling into the different splinters' arms, pouring their hearts out as they cry and listen to advice that only splinter can give.

and somehow, idk maybe the donnies make dimensional transport watches bc that's definitely a thing that would happen, so visiting the different dimensions, and hanging out with the different versions of themselves + splinter becomes a weekly thing. and slowly, the 2012!tmnt bring the other versions to their own world, introduce them to xever, and chris, and april, and casey, and the mutanimals, and it slowly spirals into all of them getting together and hanging out.

and the 2012 boys slowly start to realize that they do have a family. it may not be the one they thought they had, but it's even better, and full of people who truly love them.

@queen-with-the-quill @madcatgurl

#turtle angst au #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #teenage mutant ninja turtles 2014 #bayverse tmnt #mutant mayhem #mutant mayhem boys are OVERJOYED at meeting the rest of the 2012!tmnt's found family #since so many of their family members match with the mm found family #then the bayverse rise and mutant mayhem splinters team up and go to the 2012-verse #and go absolutely feral #mm!splinter losing his absolute SHIT over the idea of abandoning any version of his boys #those are his BABIES #they're not from his dimension BUT THEY'RE STILL HIS BABIES #bayverse april being the ULTIMATE protective big sister over the 2012 turtles #the aprils def conspire against 2012!splinter and terrify their families #draxum is also involved somehow as a secondary dad to the boys

 “ WAKE UP ”  (Mikal to Kitty, just after rescuing her from the sex slave house(

send  “ WAKE UP ”  for my muse (receiver) to wake up in your muse’s (sender) arms! This could be for any reason, from them falling asleep from exhaustion, rescuing them after they passed out, anything!  You can also send “WAKE UP REVERSE” to reverse the prompt, so the sender wakes up in the receiver’s arms

~*~

The female stirred awake, her eyes darting this way and that. She noticed her ears and tail and tried to hide them when she saw the male in the room.

"pwease, don't hurt me, Misters." She pleaded quickly, her voice sounding very much like a young child's, and moved back away from him. Due to her experience, bad things usually happened, when she woke up in the home of a new male.

She was wearing a brown leather top that only covered her breasts, with inch wide straps that went over her shoulders. Her skirt was also brown leather and barely went to her knees. There was a whole made in the back of the skirt so her long black cat tail could be free. Her bare feet crossed over each other as she hugged her knees to herself.

that designer baby thing with tomura now got me thinking about afo taking random kids from his orphanages and showing them to Gran Torino like "see this is our special baby 🥺 it makes you want to stay with me so bad, you'll never ever me. accept the kid as ours now plz" (spoiler alert, it never works and has the opposite effect)

okay i was legit planning a whole gif illustrating what canon characters AfO could've presented to Sorahiko as their 'new child', but i soon realized that there's too many potential children. like. my running list was

young toshinori (that was the obvious one)

tomura (also obvious)

eri (most adoptable child in bnha)

touya post-sekoto (doesn't gran torino like fixer-uppers?? isn't that why he lives in the shitty apartment building??)

@luposcainus liked a starter with Alec

It's rare to come across a fellow werewolf but, Alec has his suspicions on this specific wolf. They have an odd scent to them. It's unsettling. The hairs on the neck of his neck raise. Nervous and distant while he monitored this odd man. It's difficult to tell whether Alec should be friendly or treat this one as an enemy. "I don't suppose you're here for free hugs, right?" Cracking a mild joke, wondering if this guy could tell Alec means no harm.

Just his luck. Coming across other wolves are gambling games and Alec doesn't have much patience to deal with many. What makes this man so different from other wolves? The scent is unfamiliar and it bothers Alec. Biting his lower lip, that feeling of nervousness amplifies as time moves slow. You could say the wolf feels intimidated but, Alec will never admit to being intimidated by another wolf. That wouldn't be fitting for an alpha.

Three Houses fans, do you have OCs? Do you use them publicly or hide them? Do you pair them with a canon character?

Just curious so I figured I'd ask, since I often see my mutuals interact with each other or their mutuals about their OCs!

#DCB Comments #I have an OC that I use for /everything/ - every FE every Tales every other series #and I've had her since... maybe... 2006? #and she was originally my secondary to my main but one day I switched them and then #the original faded out entirely so my now main OC got herself a new OC as a sidekick #so I've basically grown up with my own OC lol. I only rly discuss her with the Shaman King fandom #but I keep her core personality and stuff the same in every series and just alter her background and relationships as needed #I often do romantic ships or one sided ships but sometimes I don't depending on #if I don't think anything would work that way for her in that given universe #unfortunately in almost every verse she has a romantic relationship with someone #canon literally kills off that character and it's basically a curse at this point #shoutout to tales of rebirth where she has no romantic relationships /AND/ nobody she cared abt died shjkgs #DCB OC Stuff

fixing the lake house had proved to be an harder task than claire expected - something that was supposed to bring some calm and piece of mind after what happened on sejm suddenly becoming another problem she would rather not deal with. still, she's made a commitment to this piece of junk turning into a safe house, and claire intends to keep her word... which brings her to another situation to deal with.

despite things still being somewhat tense, barry had been kind enough to land a helpful hand and give claire insights on which material to use only to show up in person ( like a true girl dad she would say ), bringing along moira as well whenever fair whether would allow for a good day spent in the nature. when the man left them alone to go get more supplies to the nearby city, the awkwardness in which claire fills silence by offering drinks is not lost on her - and neither the way her gruff appearance and mannerisms of late have an awful resemblance to what her brother is and does.

@barrysbaby : in spite of everything, you’re still you.

statement almost makes claire laugh, like the younger girl could read and mind or see past her bullshit attempt to appear a whole new person just by chopping her hair off and building a house. how naive - she really hasn't changed at all. "look, i know you wanna prove your dad wrong but if there's something we can takeaway from this?" a pause, claire pondering how to say what's on her mind in a way that won't make her sound like a hypocrite for never following her own advices.

"it's okay to change your mind." god knows how many times her heart went there, even though it never followd through. "we never get enough recognition but the job is what it is, i can't promise it won't happen again." not until they get rid of the bigger picture situation first. "this fight has become yours just as much as it is mine but i hope you know that if your way is elsewhere, you'll be brave enough to follow that path."

Sanemi & Giyuu were about 16-17 when they both individually went on an undercover mission in the Kaze no Kuni capital city, they henged/disguised as fake personas Kazura (vaguely derived from kaze, wind) and Nakuu ('to lose')

Kazura is supposed to be darker skinned + two-toned eyes like that of Kazan no Kuni descendants & is sensible and confident but lazy, Nakuu has a hairstyle + facial shape from Mizu no Kuni & an outgoing enthusiastic and pretty sly personality

Giyuu put some particular effort into his disguise and really got into the character he was playing up, he also had fun with it where he could- and thats how he met Kazura. i dont have or really want specifics of why where how or such bc it ruins the imaginative bit of it ig? but while they were on the mission they were meeting up, they both knew the other was disguised but neither pried about it. they fell in love a bit, however it means, but as Nakuu's namesake they were never going to last. it was a mission and when it was done they would leave for home and never meet again.

but then they did :)

at 19 sanemi and giyuu had a political marriage arranged(forced) by Kyogo being a greedy fuck and wanting more trade from the Tomioka, in both the Happy & Broken marriage paths giyuu's the one who notices sanemi acting the same way as kazura in some ways and realizes the two are one in the same. In the Happy marriage its a thought that brings a smile to his face and a jest about how they fell in love twice, in the Broken marriage its only twice the heartbreak after the apathy sanemi regards him with and the loneliness that consumes him

@tahitiwoke.

To: Phil Coulson. Can I speak to you in your office.

she’s already there, of course, and does not bother to feel guilty for it. it’s true to form - another mile taken for every inch he’s ever given her. although the thought takes on a sickly shade in her mind, she does not dwell on it. it simply registers as evidentiary of her character. and his, she thinks, when he replies back hardly a moment later. 

Phil Coulson: Of course.  

they’ve not spoken beyond what is required by necessity of the job for weeks, not even to torment, apart from the first few days, wherein she’d taken to sharpening the growing point of her irritation against the immovable stone of him, but that had become unsatisfying much more quickly than she’d anticipated. nothing satisfied. nothing seemed to lessen the incessant gnawing of guilt and resentment festering in her. it was unlike her, to be unable to channel uncomfortable emotions into some petty pursuit until it became possible to swallow it down completely, and recommit herself to ignoring realities she’d rather not face.

she’s seated in his office chair, legs crossed, leaning back with a finger tracing the rim of the scotch glass she’d procured from his cabinet, where it sits sweating on the desk. the record had long since played to its end ; bobby vinton: the best of. another flicker of nostalgic selfishness, another casual undermining of her own intent. rather than seeing him, she feels him enter the room. it’s only a beat that passes, but it feels longer, and at the same time not long enough. the chair turns, and there’s a smile that comes to her face, the same one she’d been giving him for days now, one that does not reach her eyes, one that feels painstakingly, perhaps even punishingly polite.
