[a-world-of-whimsy-5]

We're heading into August and my birthday month, and I have decided to open requests for a limited time frame. Huzzah!

Please pick a prompt from any of the following, and I'll write a ficlet or a full one shot depending on how the creative juices flow. I will be limiting requests to one request per character, so it will be first come, first served. If there is more than one request for the same prompt, I will write up the request that appeals the most to me. Please specify if you want Modern, Normal timeline or Medieval AU (although some will be clearcut modern/medieval AU)

I will also take requests for headcanons and worldbuilding. Please specify if you want them to be SFW, NSFW, or both. For anything related to Medieval! Ainur AU, the list of noble houses is here. A layout for High Tree Hall and the coat of arms for House Archer will be up sometime during the week.

Prompts:

Golden

Butterflies

Picnics

Lavender Fields

Summer wine

Iced Tea

Horseback riding

Swimming in the pond/lake/sea

Jousting

Hunting

Flower crown

Sunflowers

Kite flying

Boat Rides

Fandoms I will write for: Tolkien, Game of Thrones/HOTD/etc, and Hellboy (Prince Nuada only)

Ships: If it appeals to me, I will write it.

Poly pairings: Again, if the pairing appeals to me, I will write it.

Smut: Please mention if you want it lime (subtle) or lemon (graphic), any kinks, anything you don't want me to write or include in the fic. I reserve the right to not write anything that makes me uncomfortable, or if it's something I'm not familiar with. I will not write anything that includes minors. For reader inserts, please specify if you want it for AFAB or AMAB.

I will consider a request or two for angst/ dub-con, but only if it appeals to me.

Please challenge me with some new characters. For the dwarves, I will write only for Thorin and Kili at present.

Please be patient. I'll be answering requests in between my own projects.

Feel free to use these prompts for your own fics.

"August art prompt"

Uhhh I can't remember if this was a 2020 or 2021 art prompt, but I DO remember it was an August challenge. I also don't remember what the actual prompts were (as you might've guessed, my memory is Ass. :>)

However I vaguely recall that it was a horror theme, so naturally I volunteered Alexander for this bit of misery. There were (I think) three prompts in total, the last one I didn't finish though because it was something like "ocean horror" and um...I hate the ocean. ^^;

Anyway if I can find the prompt I will reblog it with the account I found it on. Until then, you'll have to deal with my vague crappy memory!

@zukkaweek day three: kyoshi warrior/blue spirit

I had planned to do a whole thing for Zukka week this year, but work has been a nightmare, so i just managed this v rushed self indulgent mini comic about smudged makeup after battle >:)

I imagine them doing vigilante stuff on Ba Sing Se and sometimes running into eachother, so they sometimes team up maybe?? And ofc Sokka doesn’t know he’s hanging out with zuko and zuko gets a bit bold when he’s the blue spirit. (And also has definitely been wondering how it would feel to touch sokka bc he’s touch starved as hell, so once he gets a little bit, he just keeps sneaking little touches here and there)

ANYWAYS HAPPY ZUKKA WEEK EVERYBODY

🤎 + bucktommy please

kissing in bed / lazy kissing / cuddling

The thing is, Buck isn't new to kissing. He's kissed plenty of women over the years and, yeah sure, the occasional guy, too. Doesn't really matter who you're kissing because the mechanics are still pretty much the same regardless, because kissing is... it's kissing, right. And Buck- well, Buck likes kissing. It might even be in the top five of his favorite activities. So, no, Buck isn't new to kissing as a concept, but what he is new to is the way Tommy kisses him.

Sometimes, he kisses Buck as if he's a man possessed, starving and presented with a feast; his hands firm on Buck's jaw, on the back of his neck, as he licks Buck's mouth open and pulls moan after moan from his throat. It's- it leaves Buck almost dizzy with arousal sometimes, knees turning jelly and buckling beneath him, his heart pounding in his ears when Tommy circles an arm around his waist and holds him up with ease, his mouth not leaving Buck's for even a second.

And sometimes, like right now, he kisses Buck slowly and languidly, like they have all the time in the world to map out each other's mouths and bodies; fingertips gently tipping Buck's chin up, lips soft and warm as they press against Buck's over and over again. This, too, leaves Buck dizzy with it. The way Tommy bites down on Buck's bottom lip and then quickly soothes the spot with his tongue; how his fingers fall from Buck's chin down the side of his neck, unhurried as they continue their path over Buck's shoulder, his ribs, pausing a second at his waist, before slipping down to his hip, fingers spreading over his ass before pulling Buck closer, their legs all tangled up.

So, Buck likes kissing, always has, and always will. But, he loves kissing Tommy. It's addictive, exhilarating still. It is, in many ways, new, different. Tommy kisses Buck the way you hold something precious in the palm of your hands; carefully, gently, with reverence. He kisses Buck as if every press of his lips is a confession and a prayer all in once; as if he's giving away a tiny piece of himself to Buck, one kiss at a time.

14 The betrothal

written for @steddieangstyaugust (prompt: Lake), @augustwritingchallenge (Prompt: prince and princess ), @aug-kissed (prompt: Hand Kiss) Rating: Mature Relationship: Steve/Eddie TW: omegaverse, Omega Steve Harrington, Alpha Eddie Munson, Beta Robin Buckley, violence, blood and injuries, vomit Words: 1563

If Steve was a proper omega he wouldn't be on that stupid carriage, to be shipped from Loch Nora's Kingdom to Forest Park like an unwanted pack.

A proper omega would honor his family, stay home, cross-stitch animals and flowers, and learn poems and music. But Steve never was a proper omega and after he rejected his last suitor his father told him that he wasted his last opportunity to choose a proper alpha and that he was going to find one willing to take in a rebel omega like him.

Male omegas are a blessing and a curse: they are very rare, so Steve's father was able to ask for a high dowry from whoever wanted to marry him, but there weren't many alphas willing to tie their life to a male omega. 

Steve has heard talking about Forest Park. A lot. And never in a good way.

They have a very bad reputation, but they are rich, so Steve has no doubt that his father got a really good dowry for selling him to those people. Well, not selling, betrothing him.

Thankfully, Robin is coming with him. Moving from one Kingdom to another and being completely alone would have been terrible, at least his beta best friend is trying to make him laugh by making silly comments and distract him from the long journey.

Even if the carriage is big and cozy, spending hours sitting on a carriage isn't that comfortable, and Steve's royal ass is in pain.

He doesn't even have enough space to stretch his long legs because in the carriage with them, there are the two guards King Munson himself sent to escort the future bride.

The guards are heavily armed, as they were expecting something to happen, and Steve isn't totally surprised. After all, Forest Hill has a terrible reputation. Their King was an outlaw before he rebelled and became king by killing everyone and conquering the castle, so Steve isn't really looking forward to moving in the same bed with a notorious assassin. But it’s not his choice anymore.

Savages, that's the kindest word Steve’s mom used to define those people, while what everyone thought but none dared to speak out loud was that King Munson was the new Warlord.

A warlord. Not a high-born, just a man with enough power and money to hire the strongest knight and mercenaries to help him keep his power. And Steve is going to get married to a Warlord’s son, or nephew, he's not really sure. Bloodlines are mixed in their Kingdom and they don't give a fuck about dynasties and the only blood that they care about is the one the blood spit by their enemies.

Steve has heard terrible stories about how cruel and violent those people are. One of Steve's servants has told him that Prince Munson killed his first wife with his own hands because she wasn't too sick to give him a child.

Being a male omega Steve knows he can bear pups, even if his heats are irregular and it's harder for him than for other omegas, but he never thought that the ability to bear a child or not could have been the cause of his premature death.

His scent gets sour and acrid while he thinks about the monster that he's supposed to wed. Maybe he should have been more pliant with his previous suitor. Lord Hagan wasn’t that bad after all. A little bit too presumptuous for Steve’s taste but he doubts he would have had him killed if he wasn’t able to bear a child.

"You ok? Do you want to take a break? Stretch your legs a bit?" Robin proposes, drawing soothing circles with her thumb on Steve's hand.

"Yeah, that would be nice." He confirms, rubbing a hand through his hair.

"No break and no stretching. We are still in hostile territory." One of the guards replies without even looking at Steve.

"Couldn't we stop just for a moment?" Robin insists, "We have been on this stupid carriage for hours!"

But an arrow flying through the window and ending his journey a few inches from her face makes her shut up.

"Stay down!" One guard yells, yanking Steve toward the carriage’s floor so abruptly that he falls badly on his own wrist, spraining it, but he doesn't have time to yelp because the carriage stops in the middle of the woods.

"Stay inside!" The first guard yells, jumping out of the carriage and drawing his sword. For a moment Steve catches a glimpse of a bloodied body staring blankly at him with a long arrow in the one eye socket.

"It's ok. It's ok." Robin tries to soothe him, releasing beta relaxing pheromones, but the other guard stops her, complaining that he can't afford to get relaxed by her pheromones, so Steve and Robin hug each other, trying to hide themselves from the attackers.

"He's here!" Someone yells, kicking the carriage door open, but the second guard is quick to pierce the intruder from side to side, what he wasn't expecting was someone else opening the door on the opposite side and grabbing Steve with no kindness, yanking him by his hair.

Robin screams, reaching out toward Steve, the guard turns his head just for a moment and another attacker takes his chance to stab him in the leg while Robin keeps screaming, but the clenching of the metal armor is so loud that Steve almost can't hear her.

A strong hit on the back of his head makes everything turn a warm black and he loses consciousness.

***

When he opens his eyes, Steve is surprised to find himself resting with his back against a big oak tree. In front of him the bluest lake he ever saw.

He puts down his hand, trying to get up, but immediately desists when a bright pain makes him whimper.

"I would stay put if I were you. Your wrist is sprained and you took a nasty hit to the head. Are you feeling dizzy?"

Steve startles, looking around himself, and finally finds a tall man with dark eyes and a nasty scar on his face staring at him with an amused smile.

His kidnapper!

The omega tries to crawl backward, but the unknown man is right, his wrist hurts too much and he still feels lightheaded.

"I think I'm going to puke…" he mutters, before turning on his side and emptying his stomach on the green grass.

Surprisingly, his kidnapper is quickly at his side, holding his hair out of his face, whispering encouraging words while he holds him to his chest with one arm.

When Steve's body gets limp into the kidnapper's arms, he takes a moment to breathe in his scent.

Embers and earth.

An alpha.

A proper omega should never be left alone with an alpha who's not family!

Steve tries to wriggle out of the stranger's hold, but he gently chuckles and pushes Steve's neck closer to the scent gland on his neck, "You're fine, omega. Nothing to worry about."

"I'm betrothed." He objects in a soft voice, while the alpha pheromones make him pliant and docile.

"That's what you're worried about? your honor?" The unknown alpha chuckles. 

He has a nice laugh, Steve decided in his drugged state of mind, and he smells delicious. No other alpha ever smelled so good to him.

Steve must have said something because a very pleased rumble comes from the alpha's chest.

"You don't smell bad yourself, sweetheart." 

Steve should be ashamed of himself, but the alpha's sturdy body is holding him tight and for the first time in his life he feels safe in an alpha's embrace.

"That's good. Come on, sip some water for me to wash away that bad taste."

The omega prince doesn't really know if the alpha is using his alpha's voice, or if he's already scentdrunk or whatever, but the only thing he wants to do is obey this alpha.

Steve spits a few times to clean his mouth from the horrible taste and then drinks some water, while the alpha keeps holding him tight.

The man’s wearing a beaten armor, stained with blood, and for a moment Steve wonders if he will kill him, but the way he keeps holding him makes him think that he’s affected by Steve’s scent as he is from his.

They aren't left alone for long. When Steve turns his head someone is riding toward them. Too many people.

Steve turns toward the alpha with eyes wide with worry, "You have to go. My future husband will kill you. He's a warlord! He won't be pleased you kidnapped me!"

"Kidnapped?" The alpha asks, staring with confusion at the omega, feeling Steve's head with gentle fingers, "How badly did they hurt you, omega?" he asks worriedly, and this time is Steve's turn to frown in confusion.

“I might not look so but I’m a prince. And I was on my way to wed the Forest Park’s Warlord's son. If they catch you, they’ll kill you.”

Eddie bursts out in a loud laugh, shaking Steve who quietly complains of being jostled by the huge Alpha's body.

"Let me introduce myself," the alpha says, grabbing Steve's uninjured hand and kissing the palm of his hand in the most chivalrous way, "I'm Edward Munson, King Munson's nephew, your betrothal."
