    Summary

    In one world, Techno is an alpha and people are normal about omegas. Secondary genders are no more important than your first one- which could still be pretty important but that depends on your culture. Either way, there's not much to be concerned about.

    In another world, the Blood God (also Techno, though no one has called him that in a long time) is an alpha and the entire world is a hypersexualized mess where omegas are considered little more than the heats they have and the children they can carry. No one is normal about them, not even the Blood God.

    These two Technos get switched. May the Gods have mercy on their souls.

    Summary

    Jack had never considered a future where he was released from slavery, where he could have a proper pack and be a free hybrid in the Antarctic Empire. When he followed Duke Quackity out of that terrible warehouse, there hadn’t been much going through his mind other than the desire to look after Tubbo. He never thought he’d have to figure out how to be something more than a tool or possession.

    He did though, one step at a time, and maybe he gained protectors along the way. Maybe he built a pack while managing the trials that came with being connected to the royal family.

    He was just- doing his best. It was all he’d ever done.

    Sequel/Companion Piece to ‘One Long Season of Waiting’

    THE SHORT OF IT: A Fantasy/Royalty AU that features unconventional A/B/O dynamics, political worldbuilding, a heavy emphasis on trauma recovery and found family dynamics, and soap-opera levels of non-communication. And also, there’s romance. See forenotes for more details.

    Summary

    Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.

    Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”

    Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

    Summary

    Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.

    MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.

    Summary

    It hits him suddenly, the awareness that MacTavish can see every single expression on his face. It’s not the first time the man has seen him maskless, not by a long shot, but it’s the first time where it feels like he’s giving away too much.

    Feels like the man must see it written clearly all over his face, the ache that he has tried so hard to hide. The sheer want that he can’t seem to shake, the longing that has only grown, and grown over the past four years.

    Summary

    For a long time, the 141 has been exclusively birds.

    This isn’t by design; a lot of those that choose to go spec ops are birds, or particularly well-suited breeds of dogs and cats, the occasional mustelid and, for one particular mission where they’d had to house a foreign unit, a very inconvenient bull. Usually, though, it’s animals that are good in small groups as well as large ones, groups that can form flocks and packs and colonies, respectively.

    They are a flock, mismatched and odd though they are, and Ghost has always assumed that, should they welcome a fourth into their unit, for a trial run or otherwise, their prime candidates would be other birds.

    Summary

    Castes and the world - they’re bookshelves. No one wants sci-fi books with the contemporary, and neither do mechs want the lower castes with the regals. So, in a world where such a system is banned and a taboo thick with sin… those who know their places make do.

    After all, how could you ever wish for such a commander like Soundwave to be with all else who are lowly and scum: those who do not call themselves “Shockwave,” that is.

    Summary

    If one asked any of the former clans of the North, the story of King MacTavish and the North Star, they might say that the sorcerer fell into a trap laid by clever King MacTavish. That he bound the White Wolf’s wrists and feet and put him in a collar of cold iron to suppress his magic, brought him to his stronghold and tortured him into obedience. Others might say that the White Wolf came of his own accord.

    Others, those who look over their shoulders and know they speak of treason, might hint that it was North Star who found the King first, that he lured King MacTavish into his lair and put him under a spell, seduced him and made the King fall in love with him, to whatever end he might have.

    Still others claim that their union was ordained by the gods, that they gave the King a vision when he was a boy, tied the red string of fate to both their hands, and that it is a blessing indeed, to unite magic and might under one banner and keep their people safe.

    Naturally, none of these stories are true.

    Summary

    “No.”

    “I wasn’t asking, Ghost.”

    He shifted in his place. Can never get used to Price’s voice in his head.

    “You know I work best alone. All he’s gonna do is get in the way.”

    Price’s mustache twitched, as if he’s fighting a smile. Bastard is about to drop something to win the entire argument, Ghost already knows.

    “He’s a revenant. Strong one too.”

    Fucking figures. Still, he could argue he doesn’t need any support-

    “Intel is rigged with explosives. And the Sergeant just so happens to be explosion-proof.”

    … Fuck.

     

    ------

    Taskforce 141 is the only squad composed of exclusively revenants, individuals who gain powers after dying once. Ghost is the revered revenant Lieutenant, who's powers are unknown to most and are only referred to as "Limbo".

    Ghost works alone. Until a certain Scot shows up.

    Summary

    He let his eyes run over them, lingering only as long as he felt necessary to make Roba think he was appreciative.

    "They're quite lovely. You're a man of good taste and it shows in not just your estate, but your slaves." He wanted to bite his own tongue off as he said the words, knowing now that this week would be more challenging than he initially thought.

    "Which would you like?"

    John blinked. "I'm sorry?"

    "As our honored guest, you have your choice of our best offerings. Whichever slave you choose will be prepared to your liking and sent to your room for the duration of your stay."

    OR

    John MacTavish finds himself in the castle of a cruel ruler who is rumored to have his eye on the Garrick crown. In a desperate attempt to infiltrate his ranks, he must keep the king occupied while Price puts his ear to the ground.

    The only problem is that the king's desire to show off his human collection had placed John in a difficult position. Given a slave to attend to his needs for his stay means that he must balance his own moral compass with the very real risk of exposing their operation and losing their lives, or worse.

    You got a name?” Soap shouted over the rumble of aircraft engines.

    Summary

    Ghost sighs long and exaggerated, sinking into himself and reaching for the lip of his balaclava to hide the unending spread of his bourbon flush.

    Or, he would, if Soap didn’t bury his hand in the coarse, black cloth at the back of Ghost’s head and tug until his chin points towards the ceiling and the long column of his throat is bared.

    “Does it go all the way down, Lt?” Soap teases, tracing the edge of splotchy red bleeding down Ghost’s neck.

    Ghost decides, in this moment, that neither of them will survive this.

    Ghost is ruined and Soap is in his blind line of fire, eyes lidded and content, like there’s no place he’d rather be than staining the barstool next to Simon fucking Riley. Even as Ghost pushes him away, even as he grovels into the varnished, undeserving counter, Soap stays close and unfathomably warm. Because he knows.

    You liked that, he oozes, bleeds.

    or: soap keeps pulling ghost around by the back of his mask. maybe ghost is a little more telling than he realizes.

    Summary

    Polyamory was a relatively new development in the world of nobility, but when the emperor was looking to add another consort to his flock, it was Quackity’s job to ensure that Schlatt was the one chosen for the position. As the duke of one of the four major duchies of the Antarctic Empire, Schlatt was a political powerhouse for sure, and Quackity couldn’t be more proud of his protector. All they had to do was get through the consort trials and then Schlatt would be in, and Quackity could continue to support his partner from the shadows, where he could be safe and protected.

    Of course, there is a chance the plan devolved almost immediately upon execution, and Quackity found himself getting far more contact with the royal flock and the other consort candidates than he ever could have expected.

    Summary

    Techno slammed his fists against the transparent wall of his prison, trying his best to break it down. His captors backed up, whistling anxiously to each other.

    He gave the barrier another loud crack, delightedly watching as they scrambled away in abject terror.

    Nodding in satisfaction, he turned around to meet the eyes of two other prisoners that had been thrown into his cell.

    He froze.

    Right.

    There were now aliens in his cell.

    And he probably just scared the hell out of them.

     

    Or: Humans are a dangerous race feared by all on an intergalactic scale. Techno, a human ex-soldier that was abducted by aliens 18 months ago, is biding his time in captivity.

    This changes when two young aliens are sent into his cell to die.
