Poly Shaw Pack Headcanons

⚠️SOME NSFW BELOW - LIKE ONLY 2 BUT STILL YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)⚠️

Sometimes when David says something kind of snappy or rude to Angel (tsunderes gonna tsundere), Darlin will just come up, pick Angel up, and walk away saying “nope. Mate privileges revoked” - doesn’t matter if Angel isn’t bothered by it, he was mean

Milo HAS borrowed that choke collar from Baaabe and used it on Asher 👀👀👀

Almost all of them have tried their hand at teaching Asher how to cook - none have succeeded

Asher and Angel both keep getting caught late night gaming by the others, and David. Is. Not. Happy about it.

Sweetheart doesn’t purposefully sneak up on/startle Darlin the way they do Milo - they know that due to Darlin’s past trauma, they’re a lot more likely to lean more towards the fight part of fight or flight instincts, as well as just not wanting to accidentally trigger them in general

The non-shifter mates will go on a group date just the four of them once a month - the shifters do too but most of the time they just end up playing video games together (Asher) or spending some time in their wolf forms

Milo and Angel are both huge dorks for Aggro and baby him excessively

When Darlin gets really touch starved (which is most of the time), the rest of the polycule just kind of pile on top of them

Baaabe and David learned how to cook some of the dishes Sam’s grandmother used to make for him to help him feel better on the anniversary of her death - Darlin tried to help but got kicked out of the kitchen

Asher and Sweetheart occasionally team up to fuck with Milo (also Christian lol)

Angel moves around in their sleep a lot so whoever’s closest to them in bed have to be the ones to essentially smother them to keep them from accidentally kicking or punching somebody in their sleep

Solar Solstices are TOUGH with them all staying together, but thankfully the four non-shifters can team up to tackle it - Baaabe’s on cooking duty, Angel’s the one keeping David and Darlin from getting up out of bed (they are NOT above sitting on you, Darlin, stop it!), and Sweetheart and Sam team up to do some sleeping or healing magic - it doesn’t help much, but it’s something. They typically end up watching movies or playing some easy video games that at least keep them laying/sitting down for a majority of the day. EDIT: the lovely @darlin-collins (sorry for the at) has pointed out to me that both stealth’s AND vampires are negatively affected by the sun bound solstice so I guess Angel and Baaabe are gonna have to fight for their fucking lives lol

The mates groupchat still exists and Asher begs to be let in it like once a week

Darlin kind of wants to be included in it too but refuses to admit it

Asher and Angel can both dress like total gremlins and it physically pains Milo to have to see it

Baaabe has dommed most of the others at some point

Sam took a bit to feel comfortable asking to feed on any of them other than Darlin, and even then he still typically goes to them first if he’s feeling hungry - he doesn’t really have a favorite, it's just that in that regard he feels the most comfortable with them specifically

Asher will shift and comfort any and all of them in his wolf form like he does for Baaabe - he has to do it a lot for Sweetheart, their job has them stressed

David often feels like he’s babysitting a bunch of toddlers because even when they were just friends, the stupid shit this group would get themselves caught up in is insane - the fact that none of them have been arrested yet is a miracle in itself. No, Sam is not an exception.

Darlin, Milo and Angel are all terrible with horror movies (this is canon) and David sometimes likes to choose one he knows will particularly get them when it’s his pick for movie night just to fuck with them

I feel like some of these could technically apply outside the context of the polycule, and you know what, yeah that too

[jasmine-loves-writing]

For those of us on the poly shaw agenda I'm living for the fact that Vincent and Lovely joined the pack

[bratty-telepath]

Pack Bonding(18+, Minors DNI)

The main guys of the shaw pack and Darlin are all together for a night to spend time with each other. While talking, the conversation takes a turn and a more perverse topic takes root for discussion.

In all seriousness tho, this is me feeding myself because I want submissive Milo Greer and I will do what I must to have it. This is the begining of my long start to write all of these men as switches, subs and bottoms because I refused to be starved by Erik for the crime of being a switch (/j) have a snippet:

“You need help, big guy?” Darren snapped Milo back to reality as he stopped ogling the other shifter and realized his hands had sunk right under the fabric of his briefs and cupped the emerging hard-on beneath his touch. Heat ran right to his face immediately. He could feel the length of his shaft already beginning to stiffen as soft flesh turned to hardened curves straining under the little restraint that Milo’s palm and the coverage of cloth provided. “Eager much?” Milo attempted to continue the diminishing bravado with a half-hearted smirk. “I’m not the one about to pull out his dick.” Darren teased. “You’re an asshole, Lancer.” “What are you gonna do about that, short stack?” Any reservations that Milo had quickly disappeared “You shit-” Milo lunged at Darren from across the bed, gripping at slipper,wet skin as Darren tried to slide out Milo’s hold, only managing to get so far in this endeavor before Milo pinned their shoulders to the mattress as he straddled the taller wolf’s hips. “Gotcha” Milo smiled. “Kinky~” Darren, with no sign of defeat in his eyes, smiled and the nature of their positioning finally hit Milo with stark realization. “Shit-” Milo attempted to ease away but found himself held in place as two firm hands had found himself on his hips. Milo had worn a pair of briefs that day. He wasn’t a seer by any means but it seemed like the stars aligned for a perfect opportunity for his roommate whose hands slid down to his thighs, lacing fingers under the waistband of the underwear but taking pause.

This is so cute!!!

Poly Shaw Pack Headcanons

Some poly shaw pack headcanons I thought of, I wanted to write it out after reading @polydamnory headcanon post. Enjoy!

Both Sweetheart and Angel can't handle greasy food very well, it gives them major stomach pains and headaches. David, Milo and Baaabe know this and have been active to avoid making foods with a lot of grease in it whenever it's their turn to cook dinner.

Darlin' can't cook that well but they're really good at grilling. Same goes with Sam but he's more cook than griller.

Darlin' has really rough and rigid hands, scarred over by the fights over the years. Sam has simialr hands and he likes to run his thumb over their palms since it's the softest area there whenever they cuddle and hold hands.

Sweetheart and Angel are a very dangerous duo in the sense of being very infamous pranksters within their polycule. They're plotting every other day and giggle mischievously about it.

Baaabe and David are seen as the most responsible aside from Sam out of all of them. Baaabe and David have very similar work methods, they're well organized, they keep their ducks in a row, very workaholic centered in a sense. Sweetheart dances between the lines of 'workaholic' and 'passionate about their job' often but they're getting better at it compared to David and Baaabe.

The rest of the polycule have to remind them to take breaks. Darlin' has absolutely scooped up Baaabe before out of their desk chair to get them to take a break and has no qualms of doing it again.

Darlin' at the beginning of the relationship with everyone definitely had a hard time asking for simple small affections so they'd stare at a certain person until they got the memo.

They did this with Sam at first when they first started dating and Sam explains what they're doing whenever it happens. The one person who cracked it on their own when they first saw it was Asher, he can read someone pretty well surprisingly and it wasn't hard to figure out what they wanted. (They wanted a forehead kiss.)

Angel absolutely has tons of funky lil photos of all their partners, all in weird but funny positions. Has the weirdest ones set as all their pfps in their contacts because it makes them laugh.

Milo had to help Angel find their phone once and called them on his phone. When they did find it, the picture for Milos pfp was his face poorly edited onto an elf on the shelf pic with the name "Santas Helper 💚". Angel proceeded to bust their ass off laughing while being chased by him. The nickname was Ashers idea because of course it was Ashers idea lol.

This is just my own personal headcanon for Darlin' but I see them being one of the taller spouses in the polycule. They're the second tallest compared to David with Sam being the third tallest. Every cuddle session with any of their partners is just Darlin' becoming the equivalent of a heavy weighted blanket ontop of them. Like, as soon as they lay ontop of you for snuggles you are NOT getting up any time soon. The only people that can lift them up is Sam and David.

Sweetheart is fluent in Spanish and other languages due to their job and needing to be able to communicate with suspects. Baaabe is still learning how to speak Spanish so they ask for Sweethearts help sometimes to get better at it. It's endearing for Sweetheart to see Baaabe work so hard to learn the language but also they can't keep a straight face whenever they say something out of pocket in Spanish and don't realize it.

[bazpire]

angel!Angel headcanon:

They absolutely scare Milo/Tank/Asher by randomly opening multiple eyes, brightening up, displaying their wings, making their voice boom through whatever place they're at, and making it sound like it's multiple voices. Sometimes, it's all at the same time.

It works everytime.

One time, Tank shifted out of pure terror.

They're fine.

SHAWPACK POLY

This has been in my drafts for over a month.

Characters included; SAMUEL COLLINS, DAVID SHAW, ANGEL (SHAW), SWEETHEART (GREER), ASHER TALBOT, DARLIN, MILO GREER

Also, you could really just take half of this as crackship content ngl. Or completely platonic.

꧁ I just wanna talk about the sort of tension that the power imbalance that early!Sam and earlier!David had. I wanna talk about Sam being submissive (I don’t mean this sexually but whatever floats thy boat) I WANNA TALK ABOUT HOW SWEET DAVID CAN BE. CURRENT DAVID AND CURRENT SAM? I WANT THEM TO HAVE A HOT AND STEAMY MAKEOUT SESSION AND I WANT THEM TO STRUGGLE TO BREATHE. DONT TEST ME ꧂

No thoughts, just chubby!Angel and slender!Sweetheart. No thoughts. Just sweetheart combing their skinny fingers through angels soft hair and tracing over angels curves and pudgy cheeks.

꧁ You know those gummies that are in the shape of. circles but have circular holes in the middle? Everytime Asher buys one, he does a fake little proposal to Angel. Also, he forces David to stay still while he stacks gummy after gummy on David’s middle finger…all to deepthroat David’s middle finger for the gummies like a little bastard. And then he gives David a chaste little kiss and scurries off. ꧂

No thoughts, just Milo fixing Asher’s hair. That one strand. Tucking it behind his ear, placing a few hair pins, even. some hairspray? All while Asher’s fighting the urge to kiss his face off.

꧁ Uhm Asher probably calls Milo “sexy” as a nickname. Again, don’t ask, I just know. Also, David calling Asher “Pup”. ANGEL WOULD CALL HIM THAT TOO. THEY ALL DO. STOP. OKAY, OH MY GOD ITS REVOLUTIONARY. ꧂

From the perspective that Darlin’ is older than Asher, David, & Milo… I just wanna talk about the three of them having this sort of crush on them during their HS years. They were freshmen maybe?! 1st years… and then Darlin was maybe a 3rd or 4th year. The sort of crush where they knew was going nowhere (well, there’s always time to rekindle after hs.) but they all couldn’t fight the pure SEXINESS.

« Shaw Pack headcanons »

° • ° • ↓ • ° • °

Younger David and Darlin' had a 'platonic confession' - as Milo and Asher put it - with each other (they confessed that they were besties for the first time)

Younger Darlin' was hella touch starved and tried avoiding it at all costs bc it made them feel weird; Darlin' now is constantly being touched and completely immune to it

Angel and Asher are VERY touchy feely, love language of physical touch havin asses

David and Baaabe are the cooks of the pack - Baaabe also makes snacks for pack meetings bc David's too preoccupied (Milo and Sam are good sous-chefs !!)

Sweetheart loves buying things and going to expensive ass restaurants with the pack (they're restricted for special occasions bc the pack doesn't want them going broke)

Angel and Baaabe met each other in college but never found out each other's names till later

Everyone is immensely protective over Sam (esp during pack meetings)

Sam and Darlin' stay getting cuddled and clinged onto bc they think that they're outcasts

Milo learned how to stitch at a young age so he could personally tailor some of his clothes shorter; he was embarrassed to get them done professionally

Angel likes wearing short clothes/bottoms so when their shoes untie, the pack's literally dolphin diving tying it for them so they don't have to bend down

David gets called 'mama duck' and he literally hates it

Someone always records whenever they all hangout for memories (I'd say Baaabe, David or Sweetheart)

Darlin' and Sweetheart are menaces when it comes to pissy chrissy, they love intimidating him (Darlin' looms over him and Sweetheart jumpscares him with cloaking)

Milo has a daily skin care/shower routine which is oddly complex

Angel spams the gc with David smiling when they catch him in a photo or to lighten the mood - everyone loves it

Angel got Asher hooked on cheek kisses (or vice versa)

Movie nights or sleepovers/camping go crazy

The pack has, at some point in time, all fallen asleep on or next to Sam (he's too comforting for his own good)

It's always Milo vs Asher till you bring Darlin' into the picture (2 against 1 and they still lose lmao)

Baaabe literally obliterates everyone at arcade games

David has his last name tattooed on the back of his neck; he says how they'll be his demise /j

Sweetheart stress cleans (twinninem)

Baaabe gives fantastic pep talks

Darlin' takes Angel out whenever they struggle with sleeping and don't wanna bother David (Asher sometimes goes too)

Sweetheart is the go to for missing stuff, they always manage to find it somehow

Sam lets the pack play with his hair

Angel got David to match fits ONCE and they were literally vibrating in excitement

The amount of 'embarrassing' old pack photos and videos that David hides is FEDERAL

Darlin' gives really nice hugs

The werewolves all shift and form a cuddle party, it's very cute (many photos for evidence)

Angel likes riling Darlin' up when their shifted and gets chased like a bat outta hell - they have literally mounted the rest of the pack tryna get away

Sweetheart always gives the pack's shifted forms head kisses before and after rubbing their heads

David won't admit it but he loves hanging out with Sam on the sidelines while everyone else is playing around (shifted)

Darlin' got assorted matching piercing with the listener mates (angel bites for Angel, gages for Baaabe and either a tongue piercing or snake bites for Sweetheart)

Milo gets picked up a lot for some reason - it only slightly pisses him off

They were all matching for the Summit, I might draw it to show what I mean

Sweetheart and Milo LOVE making and holding eye contact, they like how it flusters ppl (they always win staring contests/j)

Angel's super into interior designing, they interpret it thru minecraft bc I said so

Group therapy goes crazy/lh

I have so many thoughts abt them, I might have ta make a pt2 💪💪

[scarscribblesstuff]

Thank you for writing all you do. In particular I loved your Shaw Pack/Vamp Boys hanging out fics! I think you have their varying voices down so well.

I would love to see what you think it would be like if Gavin wound up flirting his way through the group and how various parties would react

Aww thank you so much!! Getting their voices down is my pride and joy so I'm honoured you think I'm hitting that!! :D

Also! Thank you so much for the request this was so so fun to write and my inbox is always open for these! I'm sorry that it took so long, I got hit by the fanfic writers curse this week ahxbsh.

I assumed you meant Gavin flirting with the DAMN crew but if you meant a different group please let me know and I'll do that as well ahxbshx /gen !

Regardless! Happy pride - here's some poly DAMN with Gavin being his lovely flirty self :) hope you enjoy! As always with my fics I have a song and it's here on ao3 should that be easier!

Fic below the cut!

Morning is Gavin’s favourite time to ambush Huxley. The big jock being the only one content to take life slow means Gavin can languish in sleepy morning cuddles with Huxley too sleepy to rebuff his compliments. It’s rare that Gavin can wake up before Hux, but the mornings he does are a real gift. Getting to watch his gradual rousing in the sliver of sunlight that had crept into the room with them. The slight twitch of a smile and a tightening of arms around him is Gavin’s clue that his target is finally awake.

“Good morning handsome.” He purrs with a gentle nip to his ear. 

His response is a blushing groan, strong arms pulling him to the earth elemental’s chest.

He chuckles, “I don’t need to breathe hot stuff, so if you think this is what will effectively silence me you’re much mistaken.”

“You gotta give me a second to wake up dude.” Huxley pouts, eyes still stubbornly closed. “Can’t be a menace this early.”

“Mhm, and have I told you how much I adore your voice in the morning.” 

“I think you’ve mentioned it a couple times, yeah.” Gavin takes great pleasure in the low and slightly hoarse rumble.

“Well-” He presses a small kiss to Huxley’s collarbone, “-it’s probably my favourite sound.”

One eye cracks open at that, “It can’t possibly be your favourite.”

“And why’s that?” Gavin’s tail flicks up like a cat, disturbing the already messy pile of bedsheets strewn on the bed. “Are you calling me a liar baby?”

“No I’m not.” He protests with a slight pout, “You just can’t say things like this so early. Not fair.”

“Who says I like playing fair?” 

Huxley carefully pushes Gavin off his chest and back onto the bed so he’s hovering over him. “You do when I ask.”

Gavin grins up at him, “And you’re yet to ask just complain, if you really wanted me to shut up you’d-”

“Kiss you?” Huxley smiles amused down at the incubus, framed by sunlight and pillows, and armed with a shit eating grin. “May I?” “Always.” Gavin breathes leaning up. Both men smile into the kiss as their lips meet, warmth radiating from both. Gavin feels himself melt at Huxley’s hand rising to cup his cheek, and in turn runs his hands up his muscled arms and around his shoulders, pulling Huxley closer.

They pull apart and just look into each other’s eyes for a moment. 

“Hi.” Huxley murmurs with a goofy lovestruck expression.

“Hi there.” The incubus can’t stop a similar expression creeping onto his face. 

The two laugh together, Huxley sinking back down to rest on Gavin. The quiet envelops them in the empty house, Gavin brushes a piece of hair from Huxley’s face, smoothing his hands down to massage his neck where he holds the most tension. 

“Let me compliment you Hux.” He whispers, “You deserve it.”

“Alright dude.” Huxley huffs, turning away bashfully, “I'll try.”

“Thank you.” Another kiss to the top of his head. “Are you… busy today?”

The jock considers for a moment, “nah, not that I can think of. Just wanted to spend the day chilling with you, you know?”

“I’m down for whatever you want, hot stuff.” 

Huxley springs up, if he had a tail it would be wagging a mile a minute. “Really? Because there’s this new botanical garden that just opened up, and I mean you don’t have to if you’d rather do something else-”

“Yes of course.” Gavin stops the self deprecating spiral in its tracks. “Your company and joy is all I really need.”

Huxley’s eyes go wide as he processes. “Okay. Thank you Gav… That means a lot.”

“You are most welcome. But first-” the demon confidently snaps his fingers and the covers spring back up to wrap around the pair comfortably again. “More cuddles?”

“Hell yeah dude.” Huxley grins, “C’mere.”

~

Knock knock.

Dear smiles to themselves as they hear the sound, perfectly on time. “Come in Gavin.”

“How did you know it was me?” The incubus purrs as he winds his way round the door, shutting it with a click behind him. “Missed me that much?”

“I heard you warping behind the door.” They point out, “But I did also miss you if that helps.”

“It certainly does my Dear. I missed you a great deal this morning, you were off in such a hurry, at the crack of dawn no less.” Gavin winds his way towards their desk, hiding something behind his back, despite both of them knowing what it is. He elegantly places himself next to an essay they’re marking, careful not to disturb anything, despite his gaze not leaving theirs for a second.

“You know full well that we were the unlucky few with early starts today Gav.” They put their pen down, and close their laptop too for good measure, ensuring all their attention is to the demon on their desk. “I had to cover some late nocturnal classes for some vampire students today. I’m sorry if I woke you.”

Gavin shakes his head, “Not at all beautiful, in fact, that’s why I’m here.”

They wait for a moment, breezing past his compliment, waiting for his reveal. “Are you going to tell me?”

“Are you going to guess?”

They level him with their best teacher stare, until they both burst into laughter. “Is it my lunch that I always seem to forget?” Dear asks, eyes glimmering.

“Why, they truly are right about you being so smart.” He dramatically pulls out a tupperware of slightly uneven sushi. “I considered making you spaghetti today, so we could have some wonderful Lady and the Tramp moments. But alas I thought I’d spare your desk. I know only too well how the wrong meal can stain.”

Dear nearly melts into a puddle at the little heart shaped rolls lined up neatly in the little box. “These are beautiful Gavin, did you hand make these?”

“I most certainly did Professor dearest.” He pretends to examine his immaculate nails but they notice the hasty glance to check their expression.

It had been two weeks now since Dear had started getting very forgetful with their lunch. The first time it happened they had resigned themselves to another vending machine fuelled day; when Gavin had appeared like an angel with their leftovers that he picked up on his way to class. They’d taken notice of how Gavin lit up at being able to help them - plus getting to spend their lunch on little dates with him had brightened up even their longest days teaching. 

“They look wonderful sweetheart.” 

Gavin glows at the compliment. “Here, allow me?” He offers with a wink, holding up a piece of sushi to their mouth.

Trying to hide how bashful this made them, they simply nod, taking a bite.

“See? Beautiful.” He whispers, not taking his eyes off them. 

“The sushi?” Dear clears their throat, trying to straighten their tie in an attempt to look more composed as they realise. “Oh! Me. Thank you Gavin.”

They're not a person of many words, they prefer action over most things and take so much joy in listening to what people want to say. Since they’d begun dating their partners, they’d felt more confident in showing themselves back. Gavin’s attention is not unwelcome; it's warm and intense but also gentle. A spotlight that illuminates them not for a stage, but for a chance to connect. 

Gavin tilts their chin up delicately while they get lost in thought. “Can I kiss you Dear?” 

They barely finish nodding before he meets their lips with his. They hum happily against him, taking his hand and giving it a small squeeze.

“Now.” Gavin pulls back, pressing a kiss to their forehead. “Do you want to tell me about you and Freelancer's pottery class? Or should I tell you about the first batch of sushi I made that was far less successful than the one you're currently enjoying.”

Dear chuckles, “Tell me about attempt one while I finish?” 

“Of course gorgeous.” Gavin grins before launching into the story.

~

Attending his classes, helping him prep, asking useful questions, ‘i got you’ from the class, sitting in his office and listening to Lasko ramble while he marks work

“Professor?”

“Yes! I-I mean yes, how can I help you? G-Gavin?” Lasko hurries over to Gavin, ever attentive to all his students, letting him into his office. “Sorry I didn’t think anyone would want to use my office hours today of all days, but I like to offer them just in case and I know that some students have to work and there’s a whole lot of catching up to do in all classes right now, l-l-let alone mine and-”

Gavin runs his finger along Lasko’s shoulders, drawing the stammering professor’s attention away from his words, reducing it to half formed babbling.

“Lasko, breathe. I came to check on you because you seemed a little… in your head in class today.” He murmurs against Lasko’s cheek, as he settles himself on his shoulders, arms draping down over the fidgety man’s chest.

“R-R-R-Right! Well that’s um- that’s sweet of you to uh… to do.” The incubus takes great pleasure in the way Lasko’s form relaxes subtly underneath his weight, pleased the stammering has at least turned to something more flustered rather than anxious.

Gavin huffs in mild amusement, “Well, I came here to offer support to my other favourite, very beautiful professor.”

“Gavinnnn.” Lasko whines, allowing the incubus to guide him to his office sofa unthinkingly, only really noticing when he’s curled up against Gavin’s chest. 

“Oh.” Lasko blinks twice, tilting his head back to look up at Gavin’s face. “H-Hi there. Have I ever told you how pretty you are?”

The incubus snorts, cheeks heating up, and tail curling into a little heart. “Hello yourself handsome. Do you… want to talk about today?”

“Not really.” Lasko deflates into the delicate touches down his sides. “Just tired a-and a little self conscious I suppose.”

Gavin hums, nibbling his ear lightly. “Thank you for telling me Lasko. Perhaps I could offer a distraction?”

“O-oh yes. I mean uh haha yes! What do- what are you offering?” 

“You're already sitting on my lap, Lasko, and you want more so soon?” He teases lowly.

“N-N-Not at all, I w-was just uh-”

Gavin hurries to remedy his mistake, pulling the elemental back to his chest from where Lasko had half jumped up. “Sorry sorry, habit. Not the time for teasing.” He snaps his fingers, summoning Lasko’s switch along with a small pile of games. “How about a game then? Something simple, but easy to focus on. Hot boyfriend’s choice.”

“Mario Kart?” Lasko asks hopefully, finally relaxing a little as he’s picking up the controllers.

“Whatever you would like, my darling.” Gavin affirms, settling his head on Lasko’s shoulder as the two settle in for a break from the day.

~

The sun has finally given up on the day, sinking down below the horizon to rest. Damien Rhone however was still awake; hunched over a laptop screen unaware of the waning light, as society permits and regulations reflect off his glasses.

What does startle him out of his trance is the sound of space tearing as Gavin rifts into the room right next to him.

“Jesus- Gavin! You could've given me a heart attack!” He splutters.

“And you are giving yourself a world of pain for tomorrow with working this late, especially with how you're sitting.” Gavin lightly reprimands, stepping closer. “I am sorry though, I didn't mean to startle you.”

“It's… fine.” Damien pinches his nose with a sigh, unable to stay mad at his partner. “Just could you walk out? The sound is too much for me right now.”

“Oh you misunderstand sunlight, I'm here to drag you away from that terrible technological beast that has entranced you.”

Damien shoots him a look that could freeze lava, “I know you know what a laptop is Gavin. And I'll be done in a bit, there's still more that needs to be done.”

“Hm, no.” The incubus steps forward again, wary not to touch without permission, “Careful hot stuff or you'll melt me down into a puddle.” He winks, relishing Damien’s half hearted growl undermined by the slight temperature increase of the office.

“I need to get this done, baby.” The fire elemental insists. “I just need to finish up a couple of forms and fill in some applicant requests and potentially get around to adjusting my invoice filing system.” 

Able to get a closer look at his boyfriend, Gavin notices how worn out Damien is; eyes unfocused and heavy, and hair more disheveled by the minute from running his hand through it. Even from a mile away Gavin can sense the flare up in how he’s adjusting his legs awkwardly.

“Damien.” He puts his hand on the laptop. “Stop. Save your work and then you are resting.”

“I told you I'm fine, I'm nearly done! I said I'd finish by five and-”

“Baby it's 6:30.”

Damien scoffs, “No it’s-” he notices the small clock on his computer screen and stalls.

Gavin takes this opportunity to gently pull his chair away from his desk, forcing him to look at him. “You are done for the day. I promise I can make it worth your time, handsome.”

Even the grumpy fire elemental couldn’t hide his smile behind the eye roll he gave. “Fine. Only because otherwise you’ll gather the troops and I’ll never hear the end of it.”

“Good b-” Gavin grins.

“Don’t push it.” Damien shoots him a glare, causing the mischievous incubus to hold up his hands in surrender.

The second the laptop is closed, Gavin scoops the fiery man into his arms, carrying him towards the kitchen.

“Gavin. Put. Me. Down.” He hisses, but makes no effort to escape.

“Do you actually want me to put you down or do you just enjoy sulking about me looking after you?”

Damien just turns his head to the side, refusing to look at Gavin, slight pout on his face. Gavin chuckles, carefully pulling off his glasses and pressing a kiss to his forehead. “You're cute when you pout.”

“You're annoying.”

“So annoying that I made you mac and cheese?”

“...thank you Gavin.”

“Always.” 

~

The bathroom door opens to release a cloud of steam as Freelancer finishes their shower.

“Oh hey Gav.” They smile at the sight of the incubus walking by.

“Shame Deviant, I really hoped to join you in there.” He strolls forward, taking their hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it.

They snort, adjusting their towel. “You’re welcome to keep me company while I finish up in here.” 

Gavin brightens up and they laugh again as he follows them, tail swishing excitedly. He cozies up close to them as soon as they’re back in, kissing all over their face excitedly. 

“Gav! Not yet.” They giggle, half heartedly pushing him away. “I gotta moisturise or I’ll be all crusty and uncomfortable.”

“Then allow me.” He holds a hand out expectantly.

“Are you sure?” They ask quietly, handing him their body butter hesitantly.

He graciously accepts it, twisting it open and looks up at them knowingly. “I would love nothing more, if you want it too.”

“Very much so.” They nod softly, dropping the towel and stepping forward for a kiss. Their lips meet his sweetly and they enjoy the connection between them for a moment.

The next few minutes are quiet as Gavin smoothes his hand along Freelancer’s body, ensuring every inch of skin is carefully massaged and cared for as he goes. Neither of them speak, neither of them need to as the night air sits with them and the steam peacefully.

Smoothing his hand over their shoulder, he presses a kiss to where his hand just was and balks, “Blegh.” He scrunches up his face in disgust.

“Did you accidentally eat some?” They burst into laughter, cupping his face in theirs.

“Maybe.” He pouts, very put out. “Not intentionally, but for something that smells so much like mango it certainly doesn't taste like it.”

“Aww poor baby.” They tease, before pecking his lips quickly. 

“Mm now that's a much better taste.” He grins, wrapping his tail around their waist and pulling them closer. “I think I'd like some more though please.”

They happily comply.

Once the yawning becomes too consistent and the call of early rising again tomorrow becomes too insistent to ignore, the group wind their way slowly to bed.

Huxley is first, flinging himself on the bed in the middle. Lasko and Damien tuck themselves in on his left side; Lasko spread eagle on top of Damien. Freelancer flops onto his chest and reaches out a hand for Gavin, who gladly takes it. He ducks underneath Huxley’s arm to rest on his shoulder and drapes his arm as far across his lovers as he can.

One by one they all drift off, sleeping peacefully under the stars and in safe arms.

How do the Boyd’s and blackguard do with monogamy ?

Steve Murphy: Steve is GREAT at monogamy! Why, he’s never been tempted by a single other woman throughout his entire marriage! No siree, not once! He’s so deep in the closet that he absolutely takes it for granted that he’s just a Good Husband and Immune to Temptation and as a result it is *not* remotely hard for him to be caught off-guard by a sexy guy. He will definitely cheat on Connie with a man. He will feel terrible about it, and he will also go back for seconds with his tail between his legs.

Donald Pierce: Pierce is pretty monogamous! He’s jealous and he also really likes belonging to someone, and I suspect he’d actually be more okay with a one-sided open relationship where his partner could fuck around vs him. Overall though, I think he prefers mostly closed relationships (although I could absolutely see him happily in a triad).

Cap Hatfield: Monogamy is literally the easiest fucking thing in the world for him. But he does not mind one bit if his partner gets some action on the side! I think he’d be okay with a full poly relationship, assuming he knew everyone involved. He’s a pack animal - I could see him enjoying some sort of garden party or kitchen table situation.

Clement Mansell: You know, I think Clement’s decently monogamous! He’s certainly pretty jealous, and although I can see him making a drunken “mistake”, I do think he’d feel pretty damn bad about it and immediately tell his SO and beg for forgiveness. He’s got a romantic sensibility, and I think he likes being a faithful and devoted partner. He could maybe be into a triad, but only if it’s more of a V, and he’s the hinge.

The Corinthian: Oh he’s so fucking loyal to his owner. ….. He cheats though. He cheats so much, whenever and wherever he thinks he can get away with it. He’s hungry! I think he’s a creature that would fervently promise complete fidelity, totally mean it, and then catch himself slipping two months later. He’s not made for monogamy!! I feel like he’d still be a mess in an open relationship too - he’s not great at boundaries in general, and he gets territorial of his partner!

Eli Klaber: He’s pretty monogamous! He can allow his partner the occasional, discrete indiscretion, and a friend of mine and I have toyed with the idea of him enjoying a game where he’s the ditzy, slutty housewife who has an affair and then gets… patronizing chastised and punished for it (spanking style vs anything more out there). But overall, I think he’s pretty inclined to be the good girl staying loyal to his man!

Danny Maguire: Oh he’s cheated on so many of his girlfriends. And he can’t do poly, he’d be so jealous and insecure the whole time. He… really just needs to get adopted (kidnapped?) by a loving but firm older couple that can manage him (and yes, a couple specifically, he needs to be outnumbered).

Ty Shaw: He’s cheated so damn often when he’s drunk. There’s no malice behind it, but he’s definitely done it often enough to get a reputation. I bet he’d be great in a poly relationship - the permission would encourage him to be honest, and tbh, he’s sort of built for compersion!!

Quinn McKenna: Quinn is great with monogamy! I think Quinn is also great with clearly defined hierarchical openness. He’d read so many books about it and very seriously take notes during conversations discussing boundaries/rules. I don’t think he could do a full poly relationship though, it’s too nebulous, it makes him sort of crazy. He really needs the structure of a hierarchy (and although he might not admit it, he gets a sense of security from being someone’s emotional/romantic priority).

Have some things to get me hyped on writing my poly Quinn/Sam/Darlin' fic (someone who isn't me please come up with a name for that fucking ship):

•Quinn goes to therapy now. Yay.

○He's still a manipulative piece of work though, don't get me wrong, but Sam and Darlin' both know how to deal with that kind of person by now so his "Sammy, precious, please let me eat you owo" doesn't work on them anymore.

•When the idea of rehabilitating Quinn instead of killing him was first put on the table, Darlin' was the first person the Department turned to, and they still don't quite know why they agreed to help

○The idea of letting Quinn live with them was thoroughly discussed between them and Sam (and during that discussion both ended up admitting that getting to beat the shit out of Quinn was something they both found very hot) and when both agreed to try to help him, they had to talk to the pack and the clan about it.

○Spoiler: neither the Solaires nor the Shaw pack was thrilled about this development but Darlin' and Sam went along with it anyway because fuck it.

•Also yea Quinn calls Sam "Sammy"

○He will deny it until he's ash on the wind but Sam likes it.

○Darlin' doesn't tho (they're just jealous that Quinn gets their mate flustered more easily than they do)

•They have stay-in date nights where they wash each other's hair, do skin care together, do their nails and share pack & clan gossip

•Quinn is banned from the kitchen.

•Because they're trying to have a healthy relationship, Darlin' established early on that they don't want Quinn to bite them for the first few months of their newfound life together

○This also goes for Sam, and Quinn was very upset about both of those rules/requests ("upset" as in he pouted for fifteen minutes before getting distracted by something on tv)

○Quinn was very open to the idea of being bitten tho but neither Darlin' nor Sam have actually done any of that with him

•Darlin' sleeps with a knife under their pillow now because David told them to.

○Quinn knows and is strangely unbothered

•Sam gets lectured or cat-called for his choice of clothes whenever he leaves the house. The former is usually Quinn and the latter is usually Darlin', but not always.

•Quinn sleeps on the couch and really tries to be a good person about it but one time when Sam and Darlin' were out, he did almost give in to temptation and took a nap on Darlin's half of their bed.

○He didn't, though, and is way too proud to ever speak of having wanted to sleep cuddled up in his partners' blankets

○Neither Darlin' nor Sam feel sorry for forcing Quinn onto the couch. He hogs blankets. Nobody wants that kind of behavior in their bed.

I had such a niche idea for a scenario, like it's so niche you won't understand if I just say it, I'll have to explain so much background for you to truly get what I'm getting at.

Does this mean I'll explain it?

Absolutely.

Okay so you clicked to read more, I don't wanna hear any whining.

In my head, Baaabe is kind of a sadistic dom, though they don't let it out much around Asher because they're insecure about it. They dont think he'd be into it, and they feel bad for being one. Now, this scenario is in a poly!shaw pack and my angel!Angel AU.

Okay, so angelic blood can't be drank by vampires because it's holy and pure and something as the dead shouldn't touch it, let alone consume it. The vampire that consumes angelic blood could die, be very badly hurt or become addicted to it, and be unable to go back to human blood, which, as you see, could be an inconvenience. Humans, however, can. In small quantities, it could actually help with healing any and all types of bodily diseases and bring health.

So what is this all going to?

Kink scene, knifeplay, baaabe drinking the blood they draw from angel!Angel with Sam being tied down and "forced" to watch.

Forced being in quotes because obviously this is consented and discussed before anything came to be.

But yeah, as I said, really fucking niche lmfao.

u have playlists? 👁👁 I would love nothing more than the links 🤭

I have never built so many playlists for a series I've been into. The bug just bit.

I will preface by saying all playlists I make are best listened to in shuffle bc I have ADHD and generally don't intend for them to be listened to in a specific order.

Let's start with my pride and joy

Some general Pack Tracks

And here we start the ship playlists

I also have Guy and Honey and Elliot and Sunshine but I can't add any more links
