#YAY UNDERCOVER AU

[persephoneggsy]

A sort of follow up to that, "What if Sebastian went to the Wardens instead of the Chantry?" what if...

So you think there was ever thought or discussion about Sebastian going the Templar route in his Chantry service, vs the sworn Brother route? Why or why not? What would a Templar!Sebastian's life end up looking like if it ever did happen?

So I actually had an AU for this — not Templar!Sebastian, but Seeker!Sebastian.

Apparently a Vael served as the leader of the Seekers (Alandra Vael, per the Dragon Age wiki), so instead of being sent to become a brother in the faith, Sebastian’s parents send him to the Seekers of Truth. He’s a bit older than their usual recruits, and he’s certainly more rebellious, but he shows great potential, so they accept him.

Sebastian fights against his training at first, and tries to escape multiple times. He’s always caught, however, and the senior Seekers treat his escape attempts as amusing distractions. Eventually, he has a talk with an older Seeker, Cassandra Pentaghast, who at first disliked him due to his arrogant nature and perceived selfish attitude. She offers him the chance to escape for good, but asks what he plans to do.

This causes him to realize that he has nowhere to go. His family won’t take him back, they might even send him somewhere worse. He breaks down at this revelation, causing Cassandra to feel pity for him. She tells him that the Seekers are a good and noble group, and she thinks he could do very well here, if he chooses.

He calms down and returns to the Seekers. Cassandra opts to supervise his training herself, and true to her word, once he applies himself, he does very well. Archery remains his primary skill, but with some help from Cassandra, he becomes a passable swordsman as well. He also takes his studying more seriously and turns more to his faith.

Soon, he’s able to undergo the process of becoming a proper Seeker; a full year of fasting, prayer, and seclusion. He completes this process, but when he comes out, there’s unfortunate news: two weeks after his seclusion began, his entire family was slaughtered.

Of course, Sebastian is distraught, and furious that no one told him (because they wanted him to complete the ritual uninterrupted). It’s been long enough now that his cousin Goran is seated comfortably on the throne, and due to marry Flora Harimann. The prime window of opportunity for staking his claim to the throne has passed, and his choice is made for him.

It takes him some time, but he has Cassandra and perhaps other Seekers as support, so eventually he accepts his lot in life and faithfully carries out his work as a Seeker. He’s still restless and angry and grieving, but he’s learned to hide it better.

Then, one day, he’s given a task by his superiors to investigate the suspected abuse committed by the templars at the Kirkwall Circle of Magi. As it happens, he’s been conducting his own secret investigation into his family’s deaths, and his last lead also ended in Kirkwall.

Cassandra confides in him before he sets out and tells him she recommended him for the assignment. He’ll have to do his duties as a Seeker first, but if he has free time, she doesn’t see why he can’t look into his own business while he’s there. Touched by her support, Sebastian thanks her, and sets out.

I like to think he arrives sometime before Act 3 starts, and runs into Hawke, the newly-named Champion of Kirkwall…

Hangaroo/Hangster AU - Mobster!Jake x Undercover Cop!Bradley (yay? Nay? I’ve always had a thing for the cop x criminal trope myself 😁❤️)

Hey 🤗

I love every possible combination: Mafia Boss!Bradley or Mafia Boss!Jake. Or rival Mafia Bosses.

With the other being a cop or a sex worker, or fleeing a shitty situation, [I'm so referring to actual fics brilliant people wrote 😃❤️]

*

Now, I'm going to twist your ask a little bit.

Bradley is a detective, yeah, and does undercover work too, BUT one day he's assigned to a new partner for a special case. (Phoenix being his BFF & usual partner <3)

This new partner though? Tall, Tanned and Texan. He's charming, very much cocky, and scarily smart. And Detective Bradshaw doesn't stand a fucking chance.

He tries to get close to him, but Detective Hudner is tight-lipped. Seems to stay focused on the case, and the case only. And Bradley can understand that (makes him all hot and bothered to watch Detective Hudner biting his lip and reflecting on possible suspects). Still they work and close the case in the end.

The day after, Detective Bradshaw goes to his temporary partner's desk to see if he's available for a drink or sth (😉).

Except there's too much activity going on in the precinct. Very unusual.

This is when he's called by Chief Detective Simpson in his office and learns the truth.

There never was a Detective Hudner.

It was a cover for one Jacob Seresin, the Mobster Boss' son from the Cavalieri della Morte gang. Never once spotted before. Always working in the shadows....

So, why this sudden interest in a more exposing job that is working for the local police? What is Seresin's true motives?

And more importantly, what will Detective Bradshaw do with this piece of information?

(I was feeling inspired and wanted a reverse undercover kind of thing? 😅)

Have a sweet day! 🥰

FAVORITE FANFICS OF 2023

We did it. We made it. We made it through the end of 2023, and BOY AM I HAPPY AS HELL TO SAY GOOD-FUCKING-BYE TO IT. I don't know about you guys, but this year- particularly the last quarter- have been a lot to say the least. A lot of headaches, a lot of mental breakdowns, a lot of emotional gymnastics, and more.

But thanks to good friends, good shows, good music, and of course good fanfics I managed to see it through the end.

One of my favorite New Year's Eve's traditions where I do my annually fanfic recs/favorite fanfics of the year. This marks a whooping 5th year doing it, YAY 🎉💃🏿 If interested, check out 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 lists.

Please know there's no real ranking, despite the number ordering. Loved all these stories listed. Loved all the fanfics writers featured. And of course highly highly highly recommend

Without further ado, here are my favorite fanfics of 2023:

1). Something Good by @no-net-ensnares-me (kathony/kanthony)

Summary: Eager to earn a wage that would provide a more suitable life for her family and prepare for Edwina’s debut in a couple years, Kate accepts a position as governess for the Bridgerton family and moves to London, where she finds herself thrown into the chaos of living with the severe yet handsome Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and his seven siblings.

or

The Sound of Music AU

The Hills are aliiiiiiiiiiiiive with the sound of music/and the feels are FEEEEEEEEEELT with each new chapter. LOL, but all jokes aside, yes it's been a year since we saw our dear Viscount and Viscountess yet I still ride hard for them like it's their season premire all over again. Thanks of course to the awesome fic writers who keep us well-feed as we wait for season 3, such as this gem right here

Seriously, I cannot stress how insanely good this was. A good retelling where you see elements of Sound of Music while also being its' own thing. The longing, the longing between Kate and Anthony is so good. READ IT.

2). A Devil's Love by FormerlyIR (Irony_Rocks), Irony_Rocks (kathony/kanthony)

Summary: When Kate's sister goes missing, she gets herself a waitress job at the Pebble Lounge to track her down, working under London’s seedy underbelly to find the only person she has left in this world to love. And Anthony Bridgerton? No matter how alluring and distracting he may be, he’s just a means to an end, his life defined by his family business built on corruption.

Kate won’t dance to that tune. She’s just trying to find her sister.

Two in a row. A win for kathony/kanthony. Where the first one for the most part is cozy and light, this one is dark. Not surprising since this story, according to the author, was inspired by the 2022's The Batman, focusing on the electric dynamic between our favorite Bruce and Selina Kyle. Or rather in this AU, the dynamics between a dangerous mob boss and a woman going undercover as a waitress to figure out what happened to her sister.

It's got everything. Protective/possessive Anthony. Stubborn, witty Kate. Great sexual tension. Fair warning, there is an unplanned pregnancy so keep that in mind. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride

3). Intent to Cherish by iffervescent (kinn x porsche)

Summary: A mouthy beta runs off with Kinn's watch. He goes to get it back.

4 chapters this story is. 4 chapters of hilarious back and forth. 4 chapters of Porsche keeping that stubborn streak in tact with Kinn trying to chip his way through. 4 chapters we get to watch Porsche go from intriguing thief, to Kinn's employee, and finally intended.

This story checks off so many boxes. ABO AU, which is always a favorite. Sugar Baby and Sugar Daddy dynamic- never get tired of that. And of course Porsche being spoiled rotten. What more could you want?

4). burnt cotton series by taetaehland (taekook)

Summary: here's a series featuring your favorite bratty taehyung and his whipped husband, jeongguk (plus their adorable pups)

Once again, we got ABO and we so far have 11 stories of it featuring our favorite BTS as they grow more of their little family, grow more in love, and of course Tae growing more crafty and poor Kookie growing more insane. I love it.

Not to mention seeing all the ways Jungkook becomes more and more whipped for his husband is just the icing on the cake.

5). 'Tis a Far Better Thing by @the-sinking-ship (drarry)

Summary: 'Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people — or however the Muggle saying goes — because Potter is in need of professional help, and Draco is just the man to give it to him.

A Drarry Clueless AU.

Sometimes you come across two things, such as two fandoms that on the surface seem so far farfetched until one ambitious fic writer creates a story that combines elements of the two and creates a wonderful gem of a story. Which is exactly what happened here.

Draco Malfoy and Cher Horowitz are so much alike, it's not even funny. Thus enhancing my enjoyment for this story to outright love love loving.

Again, elements to a famous story that brings on the nostalgia and enjoyment while also being it's own fresh spin. Plus FASHION. Draco as a Fashion Designer with Harry being his newest client. Along with Draco massively simping- always a win in my book.

6). Tracklist by Mia_Moon (sukuita/sukuIta)

Summary: Singer Sukuna x Fanboy Yuuji

Where they do kinky stuff together first and then get to know each other later.

Sometimes you have that fandom with an OTP that's set and your loyal ride or ship. Then there are other fandoms, where you love most of the characters, see the chemistry between them, love the dynamics, and it's fair game for shipping season. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of those fandoms, and sukita/sukulta was one of those ships that I just ended up falling in love with it.

Listen. Listen. Listen. I know the synopsis just give smutty smutty good time, but you get that and MORE.

What more you say be asking? Well, for starter our dear boy Yuuji who gets spoiled rotten, pampered, and yes, also gets sexed up 7 ways to Sunday- featuring some of the hottest smut I've read so far might I add. Mia_Moon did their thing, and I definitely will be reading more of and more of their works.

I don't know why to explain it, but there's something about a celebrity AU, where we have one half of the ship be this famous celeb and the other being this outsider getting pulled into their world. I ate it up every single time.

7). I'm Only Going to Heaven (If it Feels Like Hell) by stereobone (eruri)

Summary: "Are you saying you want to be my sugar daddy?" Levi says.

This story, I kid you not, came at the best timing, especially as I still try to untangle my very tangled feelings regarding the final season of Attack of Titan. But one positive that came outta it was my ulitmate love for Levi Ackerman, along with rekindling my love for eruri.

Good to note, one of the quickest quickest ways for me to immediately read a fanfic is if I see the keywords: Sugar Daddy.

What can I say? It gets me everytime. And this one was no different. This story not only came to my radar at the perfect time, but it also was just so damn perfect. So damn good. And of course had me looking through whatever other eruri stories the writer had under their belt.

8). Minor Family Supremacy by @yoonmoonbii (vegaspete, kinnporsche,payurain, prapaisky)

Summary: Like Vegas, Venice Theerapanyakun was born into a dangerous world of crime and power plays. And unlike Vegas, he is well protected by his family who shelters the little boy and spoils him to the core. However, in a day like every other, Venice is kidnapped.

Oh dear lord, where do we begin with this one? Well, much as 2023 was a hot flaming mess, it also became the year of Love of the Air (my new comfort show) and Kinnporsche. For not only me but also for my dear friends @littlenightdragon & @kila09. And what does one do after getting into a new show/fandom? Find fanfics to satisfy the fangirl cravings.

Minor Family Supremacy, or as me and @littlenightdragon often like to call it, the Minor Family Saga was the fanfic for us. And deliver what we needed after finishing Kinnporsche and wanted more of Vegas, more of Pete, and see the other side of the Minor Family.

This one, massive massive props, praise, and all the kudos for @yoonmoonbii for putting this series together because wow. Series starts off with Payu aka Venice as a kid, best friends with his cousin Prapai, being protected by his loving parents until one day changes their dynamics forever- and further widen the gap between the two . But quickly as each story goes on, the two find themselves being more aware of their positions, the complicated histories of their families, and how to stay on course of their own lives without falling into the trappings of Korn's narcisstic chesse game.

It's that good. Each story is like a TV season to the vegaspete spin-off we were so badly owed and sadly weren't granted.

9). Haute Couture, Mon Amour by @goldentruth813 (sheith)

Summary: When a scruffy stranger walks into Mamora Designs, personal shopper Shiro decks him in finery instead of sending him away. Little does Shiro know there’s more to this man than meets the eye and while trying to give him a picture perfect moment he just might find his own instead.

When it comes to @goldentruth813, you can count on several things. Amazing sheith stories. Incredible moments that will make your heart swoon or flutter (depending on the rating). And of course for Shiro to be spoiled rotten and given more depth than the show did.

This one, one word: FASHION. Fashion, fashion, with a lot of a Cinderella-ish vibe, only slightly if you catch it.

Honorable mention:

Wishing on a Frat Boy

10). He's The Bride by @sashadistan (tododeku)

Summary: Fae Prince Shoto has been waiting his whole life to marry his betrothed. As it turns out, a few interesting details were lost in translation, but Shoto still thinks his bride is worth the wait.

Oh @sashadistan, how I adore thee. For the way you just drop these amazing stories for us peasants, feeding us with wonderful content one story at a time. I always love your stories whether it's sheith, tododeku, and more.

This one was no different. This story has everything I could want: Fae Shouto, possessive Shouto, body worship, Izuku being his stuttering and flustering mess, and arranged marriage.

If y'all told me 5 or so years ago, I'd get into arranged marriage, I would have been dumbfounded. Or wonder if you were trying to be funny. Now? I love it. Just goes to show that sometimes it takes a good writer to make something you don't like a win in your eyes.

And now for the Honorable Mentions that were insanely good but due to time & length, couldn't go into full depth:

Just Breathe by @icecream-suga (2 part series w/1st part focusing on yoonmin & the 2nd on taekook; gangsters, drugs, gunplay, OH MY. So goooooood)

Right at Home by cmere (firstprince, alex x henry; grad students in a non-royal AU, fake-dating, and hijinks)

Hair Ribbons and Silk Ties by writer_of_passion (tiana x nanami/tianami; loving husband goes bonkers seeing his wife's curls loose and it GOES DOWN, so so so good)

Bedroom Hymns by Writcraft (drarry; daddy kink w/dom & sub undertones, insanely HOTTT)

Like, Comment, and Romance by @xskyll (tododeku; Youtuber Deku, pro-Hero Shouto, mutual longing and pining wrapped in a insanely fun read)

And there you have it. As usual, thanks to the awesome fanfic writers who do what they do. Fanfics, literally, is the only thing keeping us sane. And please check out all these stories.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, GUYS

That he'll drown in the black spaces of his mind, and that one day he will no longer exist. It's always been like this, the dark spots marking out moments in his life he can't remember. Where for just a moment he's someone else. Having a Dissociative identity disorder, he can't even be entirely sure he's really who he says he is. Then he meets Sherlock Holmes. A brilliant detective who when he looks at you can read your entire life story. John is immediately fascinated and afraid, half-wondering if maybe Sherlock can see the other personalities in him and half terrified of the thought of him finding out. Becoming his flatmate seems at once to be a wonderful and horrible idea. Yet as John's Blackouts become more and more severe and his other personalities begin to truly awaken and show themselves with Sherlock's help, the two soon discover that sometimes even the kindest person can harbour a demon best left untouched inside of them. Because not all of John's other personalities play nicely and some may be hiding secrets best left undisturbed...

Out There by DiscordantWords (T, 131,695 w., 10 Ch. || X-Files Fusion || Past Soldier John, Panic Attacks, POV Alternating Present Tense, Anxious John, Canon Adjacent, Deductions, Obsessive Sherlock,, Travelling, Sherlock’s Family, Jealous Sherlock, Mind Palace John, Awkward Flirting, Batting Cage, Kidnapped/Abducted John, Semi-Reverse Reichenbach, Worried/Anxious Sherlock, Hospital, Slow Burn, UST, Case Fic, Government Conspiracy, Aliens, UFOs, Mutants, Mutual Pining, First Kiss, Coma John, Forehead Touching, Hand Holding, Drinking/Bars, Past Jolto) – FBI Special Agent John Watson, medical doctor and army veteran, is assigned to assist eccentric genius Sherlock Holmes with paranormal investigations on the X-Files project.

Like, first of all you're complaining about storytellers making stuff up ??? okay. And second, it was an Aldi. A real grocery store. That I didn't make up.

I had to take a day to cool off before I responded and then they were like oh yeah, my roommate told me when I complained to them, you responded to this really nicely though! WHICH folks LET ME TELL YOU made me angrier lol Like you found out you were wrong and didn't even come back to edit/delete/apologize for your comment???

Anyway after that I internalized that you don't know what kind of lived experience your commenters have so some comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Which is a double-edged sword bc sometimes I get really nice enthusiastic comments and read it like, okay but what if this person is 12 and read it at 2am in a fit of delirium and this is their first fic ever and it's actually not as good as they think haha

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I doooo. I haven't published any since I wrote for spn but I have a parkner pwp ready to go as soon as I muster up the nerve.

I have no idea how to interpret the question "what kind" lol uhhh the hot kind? pffft

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have but I never published them. Again, these were for spn which is hella fun to play with merging into other canon. I started but never finished spn crossovers with Firefly, The 100, The Hunger Games, Criminal Minds, Agents of Shield, and Teen Wolf. I think that's all of them. I've been thinking about putting all of my abandoned wips on AO3 for archive purposes, but idk still noodling on it. I wish there way a way I could elect to post without notifying my subscribers :/ Or at least send them a message warning them that I'm about to be incredibly annoying

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of 🙃

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! A few now! The ultimate kudo in my opinion, and one I never expected <3

The wonderful @bluettspetal has translated An Insignificant Problem, Undercover? I thought you said under covers..., and Completely and utterly devoid of sex appeal into Russian with plans to translate more.

And Faaayeee42 on AO3 translated Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) to Mandarin Chinese.

I'm forever blown away by this.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! Done some brainstorming a few times but nothing that has evolved into actually writing out a shared thing. Not sure I'd be any good at it tbh. I'd probably be a very frustrating writing partner.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Peter Parker/Harley Keener. They're good boys.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My Infinity War time travel fix it (make it worse) fic 😔 It's got so much potential but it is perpetually at the bottom of the to-do list.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and developing relationships

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

mother fucking action sequences and like, coming up with The Plan (the evil kind and the ones to take down the evil kind)

This silly little graphic I made for You're Freaking Out where Harley mocks The Plan made by the spider dumplin gang was initially one half of my brain negging the other half about being shit at making Plans and I decided that it might as well manifest as the characters lmao

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Eh. It's fanfiction, you know? Do what you want. Experiment. Try your best to do it justice. Accept that some people are going to let their eyes blur and skim over it while others will pick it apart but most will exist somewhere in the middle. Just write what you want to write, how you want to write it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

*sigh* Harry Potter. Looking forward to my own post getting gobbled up by my block list lmao

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Goodness gracious how do I even decide? I think Peaches Ain't Pretty is my favorite. It's the fic that showed me beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can step outside of fanfiction and write whatever I want and be just as satisfied, if not more.

DAILY PRIDE MONTH DOODLES #19 - these dragons be gay!?

(we're back to traditional because i was getting WAY TOO CRAZY WITH MY ENTRIES)

yeah i kinda uh designed the dragons AFTER i drew the first page. also, we using color pencils here because on the back were the (unpublished) concepts for creepy deku in musutafu bus stop (day 13). i'd like to NOT ruin those so... the only medium i had that wouldn't ruin that was color pencils.

ummmm i guess this (quirkless) au is one in which uraraka is some kinda undercover dragonologist or mystical beast biologist + activist. after lying through her teeth, the heiress of the yaoyorozu corp shows her their super secret zoo where they keep all the mystical beasts they've captured... and there, she meets two (mated) dragons. what's more, they are juvenile and relatively docile to humans... indicatinc to her that the yaoyorozu must've had them since they were eggs or at least as colorless/featureless dragon babies.

anyway idk she probably breaks them out afterwards and has 2 gay dragons as pets/friends for the rest of her life. YAY!

Q&A after the cut.

Q. Are there any length, sizing, etc. requirements for works in this event?

A. No.

Q. Do I have to sign up?

A. No.

Q. Do I have to make something for each prompt / day of the month?

A. You can make as many or as few works for the prompts as you wish; you do not have to make a work for every day or prompt.

Q. Are NSFW postings allowed?

A. Yes, NSFW postings are welcome, just make sure to tag them appropriately.

Q. Can I come up with my own prompt?

A. Yes, but please stick to posting these under Day 1: Free Choice. Other works posted must follow the prompt(s) of the specific posting day.  

Q. Do I have to wait to post on certain dates?

A. Since each date corresponds with a specific theme and prompt(s), we do ask that you wait to post on the day designated for each theme / prompt(s).

Q. Can I use more than one prompt per work?

A. Yes! Though the prompts were intended to create variety, you are more than welcome to combine prompts within a certain theme, i.e. for family week you can do Family recipe + Siblings for Day 29. You can even implement ALL of the prompts of the week in the same work if you feel up to the challenge!

Q. What if I create a work that incorporates two prompts from different posting days?

A.This is allowed, so your posting date would be up to your discretion. For example, if you wrote a fic that was both about Family and Party, you could post your work on either Day 22 or Day 28.

Q. Can I use this event to re-promote something I’ve already created?

A. No; this event is only for new, original works. This means that the fic, fanart, video, gifset, etc. that you’ve created must have been first posted during this event.

Q. Can I post a multi-chaptered fic if it isn’t completed?

A. You can post a multi-chaptered fic and it does not have to be completed as long as you post at least the first chapter on the designated posting date for your prompt.

Q. Can I include other characters/ships in my works?

A. Side characters and side ships are fine, but this is a Sam Wilson event, the main focus of your works must be on Sam.

Have any other questions?

Please feel free to submit any other questions in the ask box, or reach out to either @samwilsonsb4be or @sammy-souffle.

[lavenoon]

okay real talk bc I'm still feeling weird about creating and inspiration. but I got yet another timeline (two, technically) for accidentally undercover and now the question is do I share that including the two drabbles that already exist for it, or do I just keep that in my pocket because. idk.

[herrmannhalsteadproduction]

Hi! I found your halstead hermann production fic series on ao3 and that led me here. I absolutely adore it, but that cliffhanger with jay undercover is killing me 😭. Love the slow burn with mouse tho! I actually did not know what sweater the fic was talking about so your collection of pics on that was very useful ☺️

Love that you're keeping shay around bc i hate it when kelly hurts and she's such a fun character. I also love sylvie tho! So wondering if you'll write her in another way

Hello! Yay! I'm so happy you're enjoying the series! I'm sorry about the cliffhanger!!! I knew I was going to have to take a break and I thought it would be better to leave it with that than the sadness of the previous installment. I'm going to try and squeak out another chapter soon. I'm just getting crushed by a deadline at the moment. :( Glad you're enjoying the slow burn with Bex and Mouse! I'm having fun building it. And thank you for this comment because I kept meaning to put the link to that gif set (made by the awesome gregorygerwitz) in the end note of that chapter in case someone DIDN'T know which (amazing) sweater I was referencing. This was a timely reminder! I'm currently working on plans for how I'm going to work in Sylvie and Violet because I want to bring them in, but I want to keep Shay and Gabi too!! I'm mapping out some more details of the AU so I can figure out where everyone will fit and have happy storylines. Fingers crossed I can pull it together! :D Thanks again for the message!

Bake Sale

This is for Cherry Pie’s Hot Fic Summer Challenge from @deans-ch-ch-cherrypie. It’s for The Last Kingdom fandom and it’s FinanxOC and a Modern AU. 

Tagging as well: @medievalfangirl @emilyhufflepufftlk @lauwrite1225

The OC is Aisling, that I have used before. And there is some swearing and mentions of sex but that’s about it. It’s fluff. So Enjoy

Finan loved being a dad.

He loved being a Girl Dad even more.

He saw his friends, Uhtred and Sihtric with their sons and he saw the bond they had, but he did not mourn not having a son. Where Uhtred and Sihtric had baseball, gameboys, and roughhousing, Finan had soccer, tea parties, and bake sales.

All right, and roughhousing because who was he kidding, his daughters were after all, his.

But it was the bake sales that Finan lived for. He loved to bake and mix the icing and decorate. So much so that Aisling, his beautiful wife, constantly asked him more than once why he was not a pastry chef.

“Because, love, I am very happy being a stay at home Dad to our two precious girls,” he answered as he squatted down and eyed the cupcakes on the counter in front of him. He wanted to make sure that his line was straight, well, as straight as it was going to get.

Aisling patted his head and messed up his hair. “If you say so. Just know, if you ever want to do more, I am willing to pick up the slack.”

Finan turned and smiled at her. He saw that she was dressed for work, even though it was a Saturday, in a pair of skinny jeans and t-shirt with a hoodie. Finan stood and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

“I don't think Uhtred could lose his best undercover investigator,” he kissed her neck, “and I don't look half as good in a bikini as you do.”

Aisling laughed. She pulled away. “That was one time.”

Finan nodded and smirked. “It was one very memorable time.”

“Daddy! Are the cupcakes done?” Aoife yelled as she ran into the kitchen with her little sister, Caoimhe following behind.

Aisling laughed at their t-shirts; they were matching with Finan's. The t-shirts were grey, with a grizzly bear on the front wearing a red cape while holding a plate with two cupcakes in his paw. On top of the image was written 'cake defender'. Uhtred had gifted them each one for Christmas the year before. So far, Finan and the girls were getting far more use out of their t-shirts than Aisling was hers.

“They are almost done, mo mhilis,” he said. “We just need to add some sprinkles.”

“Can I do it?” Caoimhe asked smiling up at Finan.

Aisling smiled and laughed. “I can see you have everything under control here,” she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. “Tonight, I promise you, I am going want to eat a cupcake,” she started. She leaned in and let her lips brush his ear, “off of your naked body,” she finished.

Finan felt all the blood rush to his cock. He smiled and turned to capture her lips in another kiss. “I have a couple left just for that,” he promised.

Aisling smiled and laughed. She kneeled down and hugged both of their daughters.

“All right, you two be good for Daddy and Uncle Os. And do not eat all the cupcakes, my little cake fiends,” she said.

Finan watched as she pulled away and kissed each girl on the forehead. They hugged her again. She turned to leave but turned back and he pulled her in his arms again. She kissed him deeply gently sucking on his bottom lip and letting her tongue stroke his.

“Remember to remind all those women that you are a taken man,” she said as she pulled away.

Finan smiled. “I will. Be safe,” he told her.

She smiled and nodded. “I always am. I have three very important someones to come back to,” she said.

Finan let her go. He sighed when the door closed behind her. Do not worry about it. Uhtred would never put her in danger. After all, she is his sister. And his favourite, at least according to her. He looked at his two daughters.

“All right, let's get these cupcakes sprinkled and packed up so we can go get Uncle Os,” he said smiling.

“YAY!” they both cheered.

***

Finan parked the SUV at the community hall. Osferth turned and glanced at him. Finan shut the engine off and smiled. Osferth rolled his eyes.

“Please tell me you are not trying to set me up again,” Osferth gestured with his one good arm towards all the women going inside.

Finan placed his hand on his chest. “Would I ever do that?” he asked.

“Yes, Daddy, you definitely would,” Aoife answered from the back seat.

Osferth gestured towards Aoife as she undid her seatbelt and leaned between the two front seats. “See? She knows.”

Finan rolled his eyes. “Come on, baby monk, let's get in there so you can meet your future wife.”

“But what if Uncle Os doesn't want a wife?” Caoimhe asked.

“Thank you, Caoimhe for taking what I want into account,” Osferth said as he struggled to undo his seat belt because of the sling on his arm.

“I just mean, we learned in school that all families are different, so what if Uncle Os doesn't want a lady but a man?”

Finan laughed. He laughed and laughed. And Osferth cursed softly under his breath. “I forgot that these are your children I am dealing with.”

Finan climbed out of the driver's seat. He opened the back door and caught Aoife when she jumped out. Her dark curls bounced as he swung her around and placed her on her feet. He leaned in and undid Caoimhe's seat belt and smiled as she climbed out and opened the passenger door. Her rust hair bounced in the ponytail as she jumped out and took Osferth's good hand.

Finan leaned out and slammed the door. He heard the other doors slam and he walked to the back of the  SUV and opened the trunk. He grabbed the containers with the cupcakes. He handed on to Osferth, one to Aoife and one smaller one to Caoimhe. He took the rest that were in a large box. He smiled as Osferth set his container of cupcakes down to pull the trunk down and close it. Finan gestured to his pocket and Aoife reached in and took the keys out and locked the SUV.

“All right, let's get this party started,” he said.

Osferth groaned as the the girls cheered. Finan carried the box and lead them all into the community centre. He smiled when one of the single newly divorced mothers held the door for him. He did not miss how she looked him up and down. Osferth huffed and followed him in.

“He is still very happily married,” Osferth commented as they walked inside.

Aoife laughed. “Some of them don't care, Uncle Os,” she replied.

“None of them care, Aoife,” Caoimhe added.

Finan stopped and looked at his daughters. “I don't care how they look at me,” he told them, “I only have eyes for your mother.”

He laughed as Aoife and Caoimhe both rolled their eyes. Osferth smiled and chuckled.

“Finan! Over here!” Finan heard Eadith yell.

He turned and smiled when he found their table. He turned back and looked at Osferth. “You are going to love Eadith,” he told his friend.

Osferth sighed. “Really?” he demanded.

“Eadith is nice, Uncle Os,” Aoife said.

Osferth hummed. “Hmmm,” he said.

Finan started walking again and walked towards the table. He set the cupcakes down. He smiled when he saw Alfwynn, Aethelflaed's daughter there. She was friends with his girls and it helped that Aethelflaed was Osferth's half sister.

“Uncle Os!” Alfwynn said. “I am glad you came!” she said as she ran over and hugged him.

Finan smiled at Eadith as she helped unload the box. He smirked at her when he noticed that she kept eyeing Osferth. He walked around the table and bumped shoulders with her.

“Like what you see?” he asked raising an eyebrow.

She blushed and smacked him. “Never mind, help me set these out,” she said.

“Uh huh,” he said.

“Finan, stop it. I am perfectly happy being a nanny for Aethelflaed. I am happy looking after Alfwynn and Athelstan.”

“Speaking of the little wee man, where is he?” he asked. He leaned in and smirked at her. “Or did you lose him again?”

Eadith elbowed him in the gut. He laughed. He looked over and saw Osferth glancing over and looking at Eadith.

Yes, I am the champion of set ups. Take that Uhtred. I win.

***

Finan waved at the last divorced mother as she carried off the last of his cupcakes. He saw her pause at the door to pull her keys out and eye him. He smiled and she smiled back. Unfortunately for her, he was smiling at the redhead that was walking into the community centre. Finan walked around the table and smirked as Aisling walked right over to him.

“Sir, I am here for your cupcakes,” she said as she pushed her mirrored sunglasses on her head.

Finan crossed his arms on his chest and saw a few of the women gathering by the doors watching. After all, Aisling being there was a rare sight indeed. He was pretty sure all them thought he was lying when he said he was married; and happily at that.

“I'm sorry ma'am, but we are all sold out,” he answered.

Aisling sighed. She shrugged and Finan really liked the way her grey t-shirt hugged her every curve and how her jeans hugged her hips. She stepped closer to him. “Guess I will just have to settle for a kiss than,” she said, her voice getting a tad louder and echoing in the centre.

“I don't think my wife would like that,” Finan answered.

Aisling shrugged. “I am sure her and I can work something out.”

Finan nodded. Aisling walked forward and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. He kissed her back and held her body against his. He smiled against her lips as he heard a gasp come from the crowd of women watching. Aisling smiled as well and nipped his bottom lip.

“Have I scandalized the Devoted Finan Divorced Wives Club?” she asked as she sucked on his bottom lip and let her tongue stroke his.

Finan hummed. “Oh most definitely,” he answered as he grabbed her ass and squeezed both cheeks. “But I don't give a damn.”

Aisling laughed. She pulled away from the kiss and looked around. She frowned. “Where are our daughters?” she asked.

“With Osferth and Eadith,” he smirked. “They are getting along.”

Aisling rolled her eyes. “You are enjoying setting them up much too much,” she said.

Finan leaned in and gave her another peck. He looked up and saw the women still watching. He pulled away. “She's my wife!” he called out.

Aisling turned and waved. She wrapped her arm around his waist and leaned against him. “Can't have them thinking I wasn't real, now can I?” she asked as she turned and looked up at him.

He smiled down at her. “I keep telling you, these bake sales are great places.”

Aisling smirked. “Wherever you are is a great place,” she answered.

Finan smiled. He leaned down and kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

I think I need to sign up for even more bake sales.   

[autobots-and-their-crazy-kids]

In my Robot Priscilla AU I decided to combine it with my Monster Food AU too, so now I have a really weird AU with a bunch of traumatized children... Great right?

I will give you the most important stuff, ok? Then you tell me if you like it or if I should change something.

Swindle was the one to give Madeline the robot that would become Priscilla. He pups up from time to time in his human holoform to talk with Madeline about "business" and he also says HI to Priss (this doesn't mean he likes her thought).

In the Monster Food AU Graham and the Mayor couldn't be cured and now they have crazy beast powers that will transform them into monsters every night. For this, they both run away; Graham in one of the cargo ships that would take him to New York, and the Mayor went to the woods. They are still looking for him.

The Mayor's wife is the new mayor... Yay?

Cody lost an eye and can't communicate with words due to the shock provoked by his brother's attack on beast form... To make matters worst, because he lost a lot of blood, Graham still not knowing he was the beast that attack him give it Cody a transfusion of his blood :D. this won't hurt him more, right?

Frankie does the best she can by helping Cody adapt with new ways to communicate and of course, helping her daddy create a cure! Too bad that she has to also undercover into a conspiracy with the help of George, the son of the councilwoman of Griffin Rock,, who may also keep some secrets... Better no for Frankie's sake.

Cody blames himself for what happened and because (of the trauma I have given him) of his older brother's disappearance, Cody now tends to distance himself from new people the best he can. More because of his new strange habits like sleeping under his bead and staring at people with a black face...

Priscilla (now with a new "better" personality) comes to Griffin Rock and instantly becomes friends with Cody and Frankie. But in secret (without even her knowing) she is there to keep her mother's business in "check".

I think that the story is okay the way it is! :)

Have I mentioned that Quarry is in a hunting season?

I like it!

The way you combined these AUs is well-done and the information you gave me is well-written.

(I wouldn't be surprised if the conspiracy you mentioned involves Madeline and Swindle. I imagine they would benefit from the monster situation and the missing Mayor.)

Can't wait to hear more!

Priscilla (now with a new "better" personality) comes to Griffin Rock and instantly becomes friends with Cody and Frankie. But in secret (without even her knowing) she is there to keep her mother's business in "check".

Also, Quarry is a hunting season! And there are some aliens not happy with Cybertronians staying on earth...

That's a lot and I find it all to be pretty interesting. If Cody got a blood transfusion from Graham, then it sounds like you're setting up a "She-Hulk"-esque situation!

I think that Mrs. Luskey could make an alright mayor. She's social and shown to be very intelligent. Maybe the town would have less emergencies than before since Mayor Luskey caused quite a few of them.

I don't know who Swindle is though, is he part of the transformers universe?

Other than that I don't have any other notes

[vixxelle]

In my Robot Priscilla AU I decided to combine it with my Monster Food AU too, so now I have a really weird AU with a bunch of traumatized children... Great right?

I will give you the most important stuff, ok? Then you tell me if you like it or if I should change something.

Swindle was the one to give Madeline the robot that would become Priscilla. He pups up from time to time in his human holoform to talk with Madeline about "business" and he also says HI to Priss (this doesn't mean he likes her thought).

In the Monster Food AU Graham and the Mayor couldn't be cured and now they have crazy beast powers that will transform them into monsters every night. For this, they both run away; Graham in one of the cargo ships that would take him to New York, and the Mayor went to the woods. They are still looking for him.

The Mayor's wife is the new mayor... Yay?

Cody lost an eye and can't communicate with words due to the shock provoked by his brother's attack on beast form... To make matters worst, because he lost a lot of blood, Graham still not knowing he was the beast that attack him give it Cody a transfusion of his blood :D. this won't hurt him more, right?

Frankie does the best she can by helping Cody adapt with new ways to communicate and of course, helping her daddy create a cure! Too bad that she has to also undercover into a conspiracy with the help of George, the son of the councilwoman of Griffin Rock,, who may also keep some secrets... Better no for Frankie's sake.

Have I mentioned that Quarry is in a hunting season?

And there are some aliens not happy with Cybertroninas staying on earth...

Well holy shit this sounds like a mish-mash of sci-fi and spoopy stuff!

Give me MORE!
