“he’s in rotation” the earth has rotated around the sun almost twice and he hasn’t come back

[chimckenns]

Knight!David and Royal!Angel

Knight!David being temporarily assigned to bodyguard Angel in a sudden change of plans. He’s never been allowed inside palace grounds before, usually just guarding the outside or otherwise training, but he’s been granted permission.

Knight!David’s first steps inside the palace were filled with awe. The buildings were all so elaborate, and for the first time he felt like he didn’t belong.

Knight!David meeting Angel for the first time, introducing himself and kneeling in front of them as per the manner code. He thought they’d ignore him, at least, that was his impression of those with higher status. He’s but a servant for them, and he’s fine with that. Work is work. There’s no need to involve personal feelings.

Knight!David surprised to find Angel sitting in front of him, legs crossed and leaning down to meet his eyes as he knelt with his head down in respect. He’s left bewildered at their confusing behaviour, unsure what to do.

“You’re cute.”

Knight!David choked, surprised at their random confession. Angel laughed, throwing their head back and holding their stomach.

Knight!David trying his best to remain stoic, but Angel’s behaviour made it really hard. Their eyes sparkled whenever David broke, a smiling leaking through his professional stoic face. It became a game of how long David can keep his stoicism vs how quickly Angel could make him smile, and David would never say it aloud, but he grew to love this little routine they had.

Knight!David alert when a rogue assassin with a sword made its way inside palace grounds. He barged into Angel’s room, panicked, and locked the door behind him. He pulled a confused Angel into his chest and tucked them away in the corner, heart pounding in his chest as he heard shouting from nearby.

Knight!David relaxed his hold on them when the shouting calmed down, and the other knights successfully capture the rogue. He looked down, expecting to see fear in Angel’ eyes but instead found sadness and worry. They reached a gentle hand to his forehead, and thumbed away the blood leaking from a small wound he forgot he received earlier. Their hand lingered there, dropping down slightly to cup his cheek before they moved to let go. David didn’t know what overcame him, but his hand grabbed their wrist and kept their palm against his cheek. His voice, low and calming, let them know - “I’m okay. It’s just a scratch.”

Knight!David found himself dragged outside the palace by Angel, who asked him with those sparkling eyes if he wanted to go see the fireworks in town. At first he protested - “It’s not safe, everyone knows who you are. What if someone tries something?” To which Angel smiled and replied “Then I have you!”, making David’s breath hitch and leaving him at a temporary loss of words. Finally, he rolled his eyes and agreed with the condition that they put on a disguise.

Knight!David brought them to a spot he knew to watch the fireworks - on a hill towards the edge of town. It was where he’d always watch them as a kid, with his father.

Knight!David didn’t watch the fireworks when they lit up the sky with flashes of colour. His eyes were drawn to Angel instead - the awe and excitement in their eyes more beautiful than the fireworks. He was captivated, unable to look away.

Knight!David carried Angel home that night. Angel had fallen asleep, the excitement and exhaustion of their excursion finally catching up to them. David chuckled - this part of them reminded him of a puppy, too excited to see the world they fell asleep.

Knight!David was about to leave their room to give them privacy, when Angel grabbed his wrist, just as David did a few weeks ago. They mumbled a few words before falling asleep again, grip still strong and never letting go.

Knight!David spent the night sitting next to their bed, falling asleep while Angel’s hand still held his.

Knight!David had a change in his position and was assigned to the front lines of the next battle against an enemy country. When he told Angel the news, he didn’t expect them to cry, tears falling from their eyes before they could even say anything in reply. They seemed confused too, wiping away at their tears and laughing, not knowing why they reacted like this. David’s heart broke seeing them like this, and he held them in his arms, whispering words of reassurance that he’ll be back, that he’ll be their knight again.

Knight!David giving them his father’s ring he always wore as a promise that he’ll return.

Knight!David watching Angel’s figure getting smaller as he rode his horse away. His heart pounded in his chest, anxious about the battle ahead but also worried for Angel’s safety. They were assigned another knight while he was gone, but no one could protect them better than he could.

Knight!David spending the next month in gruelling battle after battle, leading the charge into enemy territory.

Knight!David unable to contact Angel through mail or telegram due to confidentiality and security he needed to uphold whilst invading enemy grounds.

Knight!David finally able to come home, bruised and battered, but alive. He found Angel at the gates, arguing with the guards, demanding they let them through so they could go and find David after he’d been missing for so long without contact.

Knight!David getting off his horse and leading it towards the gates, watching as Angel’s frustration turned into surprise, relief, and then tears as they ran towards him. Angel practically jumped into his arms, burying their head in his chest and grip on his chest shaking. He wrapped his free hand around them and leaned down to place his head on their shoulder, whispering an “I’m home” into their ear.

Knight!David’s eyes widening when Angel kissed him, desperate and loving. He dropped his hold on his horse’s reigns, and held them closer with both his arms, kissing back with equal passion. He didn’t care if the other guards were watching. He only cared that Angel was in his arms again.

Thanks @rdselkie for the idea :D

I can just imagine angels younger siblings bursting out laughing after hearing angel say that David is an “alpha” with no further context added to it.

Wrote this fluff out of spite, since the fandom likes to keep reminding me that Gavin will outlive the DAMN crew:

Gavin and Freelancer always knew kids were off the table. No big decision, it just wasn't for them.

But when Huxley and Damien finally get through the adoption process and introduce a shy but sweet little girl to 'Uncle Gavin'...well, Gavin feels that tug at his heart much more than he expected.

When Lasko and Dear bring home baby twins, Uncle Gavin feels that heart-tug again as they learn to walk, and start walking towards him.

His found family is expanding, growing, and he's so honored to be a part of it. He and Freelancer gush and coo over their niblings, and love them more than anything.

The Crew all stay in Dahlia. It's their home, it's their family. As they age, Gavin and the kids all help out in caring for them. One by one, Gavin says goodbye to his original found family. Eventually, he says goodbye to the love of his life.

But he's never alone. Uncle Gavin is always surrounded by his friends' children. And they live on through them.

Huxley and Damien's daughter has drive, ambition, and the kindest heart. Lasko and Dear's twins have soft voices, generous souls, and a surprisingly subtle mischievous streak.

Eventually, these kids all find partners, friends, and families of their own. And every time, he is introduced as 'Uncle Gavin'.

He's a fixture in all their lives throughout the generations. As people come into the fold, they explain to newcomers that Uncle Gavin always has been and always will be there.

And more often than not, he'll catch glimpses of his first family. Someone will have Damien's laugh or Freelancer's wit, Huxley's empathy or Lasko's intuition, or Dear's sense of humor.

He misses his first found family, his partner, and will for as long as he exists. But surrounded by the legacy of the love they all shared, Uncle Gavin knows that they will always be with him.

lasko and dear LOVE invading each other personal space OHMYGOD.

I do agree that Huxley and Damien are a velcro couple in the sense that Huxley always has some form of physical contact with Damien and Damien always reciprocates, but LASKO AND DEAR WILL NOT GET OFF OF EACH OTHER.

They are always cuddling. Playing games with the crew? Dear is laying their head on Lasko's lap. Watching a movie? Lasko is little spoon and Dear is big spoon. Running errands? The other is always tagging along. Breaks at work? You know they're spending it together. ONE OF THEM HAS TO USE THE BATHROOM? THEY WILL USUALLY ASK THE OTHER TO GO WITH. Those two will not let go of each other and they love it. Even when they're doing separate things, they are in the same room 95% of the time. ofc this closeness increased over time but they've always been very physically close.

•Caelum is obsessed with those 3D fruit gummies and leaves baggies of them on Freelancer's desk for when they get home. He also did the same with the poppable jelly fruits.

•Warden likes the sound and smell of rain. It’s one of the few “human” traits they have that wasn’t just made up to appeal to the people around them.

•Camelopardalis keeps a jar of those random grandma candies in his office for his clients.

•Gavin got really into pottery for a while and actually took to it pretty quickly. He’s made lots of pieces for the DAMN crew since he’s started. (Insert joke about him being good with his hands haha very funny)

•Vega doesn’t know how to properly talk about his fondness for Warden so, to try and make up for it, he’ll gift them small luxury items, like fine jewelry and intricate fragrances.

Darlin's first time meeting Porter ABSOLUTELY reminded them of Quinn.

Anyways they should square up, I need to hear Porter get his shit kicked in and it's been too long since Darlin' has beaten something up.

The new Redacted Audio Loredrop on scams got me thinking…there’s DEFINITELY multi-level-marketing scams out there in the empowered world, right? Can you imagine getting a call from your poor aunt or uncle trying to promote a “power-strengthening healing powder” that they earn 0.0000000001% of the earnings from 😭😭

I’d KILL for a playlist following a con like Marc (Mark???) going about their little financially-evil-business.

NSFW! David and Angel soft and sweet

~~~

One look.

That’s all it took.

Across the room, David caught Angel’s eyes and his breath caught in his chest from the way their pupils dilated and their face melted into a smile.

That’s it.

That’s all it took.

He stood up from his chair and walked over to them, slow, deliberate steps echoing through the hallway. Angel stayed where they were, waiting for their mate. Like they always did.

If anyone else saw David approaching Angel, they’d probably say it looked like a predator sizing up their prey. But for Angel, it was different. They could tell this was his way of communicating - giving them time to leave if they weren’t feeling it. Of course, Angel never would. With each step David took, Angel took one step back, playing a little game of cat and mouse. He cornered them against the wall, gaze heavy and lids half closed, breathing slow and almost shuddering. Angel’s back hit the wall, and David slipped his knee in between their legs, lifting their chin up with one hand and gazing into those eyes. There was never any fear in them, only love. David’s core lit up with the love he felt from their gaze, and he couldn’t help but close the distance between them in a slow, drawn out kiss, taking the time to savour the way their lips melt against his and the small moan they let out. David’s other hand wrapped around their waist and pulled them flush against him, smiling into the kiss when he felt the way Angel’s hips rolled against his, grinding a little against his knee.

They parted, breathing messy but still in sync. Angel was still dazed from the kiss, looking up at David but eyes not fully focusing, brain replaying what just happened over and over. He chucked, knowing exactly what was happening, and picked them up, letting their legs wrap around his waist and their arms around his neck, and carried them to the bedroom.

He set them down gently and kissed from their lips down to their neck, each kiss slow and soft, marking their skin. Angel’s arms never let go of his neck, and their back arched involuntarily when he sucked at that spot just under their earlobe. David propped himself up a little, admiring his work and pressing another small kiss to the love bite to soothe it. His gaze moved to Angel, who was more drunk than before on his love. He knew that as much as they loved his rough side, they have a weak spot for his gentleness - his large hands, warm and calloused, running over their body was enough to make them moan and part their lips in a satisfied sigh.

He’d make the most of that today, he decided.

He breathed in their scent, head buried in the crook of their neck, before moving down to take off their clothes. He made sure to press a kiss to every inch of skin that was revealed, taking his time and worshipping their body the way they deserved. Angel’s chest moved with every breath, and David could feel the flutter of their heart underneath his lips. They were so beautiful, so small, and so perfect.

David took off his own shirt, chuckling at the way Angel’s eyes followed his every move and widened when his chest and abs were revealed, hands immediately touching the new yet familiar territory, tracing each divot and curve of his muscles.

It wasn’t their turn yet though. He took off the rest of their clothes and smirked to see them wet and glistening, already ready for them. He parted their legs, heavy gaze meeting theirs in a silent request for permission, to which Angel nodded. He took a moment to breathe them in, the smell of their arousal fuelling his own. Then in one breath he closed his lips over their heat, licking, kissing, and sucking in all the right places that made Angel moan loud, head thrown back against the pillows, eyes rolling to the back of their head. Their hands shot to his hair, gripping it and moving him where they wanted. He was so meticulous, not wasting a single drop of their arousal and lapping it up like he was parched.

He had them close within a few minutes, knowing just what to do to get them off like the back of his hand. He looked up at them when their moans started getting higher in pitch, and their breathing sped up.

“Go on, baby. Come for me.”

That’s all it took.

Angel let go, and David helped them through their orgasm, skilled tongue lapping up their juices.

They let out a final long sigh in blissful pleasure, and David smiled at his work. He loved seeing what he could do to them. He made his way back up to their lips, capturing them in a gentle kiss, Angel moaning at the taste of themselves.

Growing impatient, David took off his pants and boxers, throwing them haphazardly on the floor. Angel’s gaze grew heated when it laid on his length, hard and dripping with pre-cum. Their hands moved to stroke him, but David stopped them with a kiss.

“Let me please you today. Please.” He whispered in their ear.

He aligned his length with their entrance, and locked his gaze with Angel’s. He gave their lips a few gentle kisses before pushing the head in. The familiar feeling had Angel arching their back and moaning his name, which only served to arouse David more. With a few slow breaths and kisses to their neck, he thrusted all the way in, his heavy set balls flush against their core as he buried himself to the hilt. He placed his forehead in the crook of their neck, trying to control his breaths as he took a moment to let Angel adjust to his size. Angel’s arms wrapped around his back, nails digging in just a little from the pleasure. He could feel their walls tighten around him.

After a minute or two, he kissed his love bite on their neck again before moving, slow and steady, watching the way his length disappeared in them and came out slick and wet. His slow pace had Angel clawing at his back, nails leaving red marks down his muscles like claws. Each thrust hit at that exact spot that had them seeing stars, and they had to bite down on his shoulder to stop themselves from screaming. As much as David wanted to hear their voice, he also loved it when they left bite marks on his body.

He sat up a little, placing Angel’s legs over his shoulders for a new angle, and propped himself back over them. This position had him thrusting deeper, and Angel almost cried from how good it felt.

He kept the pace slow, but angled his hips in the perfect way that had them moaning deliciously. It felt wrong to break the moment and fuck them hard and fast. He wanted to savour it as long as he could.

There was only so much Angel could take though, and soon enough they were begging him to go faster. David could never say no to his mate and sped up a little, moans escaping his lips from how tight they closed in around his length, and the sinful sounds that echoed in their room of skin slapping on skin.

He could feel that Angel was close again, and he was right there with them.

“Let go for me. That’s it.” He groaned against their shoulder. And sure enough moments later they reached their high, back arching off the mattress and walls clenching around him in a way that had him cumming right with them.

Their arms went limp, still wrapped around his back loosely. David let go, carefully putting his whole body weight on them, knowing that they liked it. They took a moment to catch their breath, hearts syncing and love radiating through their bond.

Eventually, he propped himself up on his elbows and kissed Angel on the lips, smiling at their blissed out expression. Angel deepened the kiss, arms tightening around his neck just a little to pull him in closer.

They whispered an “I love you.” when they parted, like it was a secret just for the both of them to hear.

The look of pure adoration in their eyes had him falling in love with them all over again.

One look.

That’s all it took.

Damien was the one who nagged got D.U.M.P. to make the new department video. It's about 1/4 of the information he originally wanted in it and he hates it, but it's a start.

the rest of the shaw pack looking around confused when david actually understands some of the chronically online shit that they’re talking about.

the rest of the shaw pack no longer looking confused as they see a beaming angel who’s spent many lazy afternoons rambling to him about various pop culture references/drama they’ve seen on the internet.

@angel-shaw had the wonderful idea of wanting an audio where the mates had to wash their shifter partners, and they let me have the honour of writing my take on it! While I didn’t go with their initial idea of hearing the shifters’ thoughts while they endured said washing, I still had an immense amount of fun writing this and I hope it lives up to their expectations 😁 thank you to @pinksparkl and @sunsickcrab for helping me with plot points!
