oc masterlist

introducing you to my babies. you can find links to all of their fics here.

anything to anywhere

stella finley

stella is a ferry pilot for the air transport auxiliary. she's good at her job and knows it, and will stop at nothing until everyone else knows it too. she loves things that fly, especially birds, and hates her own prettiness, which has only ever slowed her down. if a man is going to force her into a conversation she is absolutely going to manipulate it so they’re talking about whatever she wants to talk about (most often whichever bird she’s interested in at the moment). she's fiery, passionate, and talkative.

why all this music?

wilfrieda ‘freddie’ leroy

freddie is a classical pianist at heart but a wireless operator by necessity. almost immediately after the outbreak of war she joined the WAAFs and she’s been there ever since. the greatest loves of her life belong to her past, but her closest friends like to think she’ll find some new ones soon - or maybe just one new one, a certain someone who won’t take her rejection at face value. freddie has a heart of gold but doesn’t like to let people know it. she finds comfort in playing the music from her childhood, talking to the stars, and benny demarco’s dog meatball.

millicent ‘millie’ harlow

millie has known half-hearted love a thousand times over but, a romantic at heart, she’s always dreamed of finding a man who will properly steal her heart and give her his in return. she would never have guessed that man would come in the form of a pilot she cannot stand when they first meet. she’s a wireless operator with a big heart and a sharp tongue, always a shoulder to cry on and a safe space for her nearest and dearest.

the spirit of the corps

charlotte ‘charlie’ lancaster

charlie is the main character of ‘the spirit of the corps’. the daughter of wealthy parents from lancaster, new hampshire, she graduates college early and heads overseas at 19. she’s shy and naïve, but brave and resolved to help. she loves books, pink roses, and chocolate chip cookies, and blushes an awful lot more than she’d like to.

mabel ‘mabs’ edison

mabel comes from a big family, filled to bursting with boys. when all of her brothers end up spread across the world to fight in the war, she leaves dallas, texas in an effort to save lives where so many are being taken. she loves boys, flirting, and is an excellent mathematician. she’s guilty of calling everyone ‘darlin’ in that thick accent of hers.

violet ‘boo’ hollister

violet, affectionately nicknamed boo, wants to put as much space between herself and her family as possible, though she’s tight-lipped as to why. she’s desperately shy but effervescent with those she trusts. she loves dancing, music, and the colour yellow.

autumn vogel

autumn is something of an enigma to those around her, though no less loved because of it. she has a mysterious past and a reckless fire in her eyes. the way she talks about life hints that she doesn’t plan on taking it for granted. she loves jigsaw puzzles, photography, and her friends above all else.

henriette ‘henry’ maddox

henry is the commanding officer of the 23rd field hospital nurses. initially, she’s cold, ruthless, and strict, but when she learns to trust them she opens herself up a little. something about her hints at loss and a reluctance to let anyone close. unfortunately for her, those around her will never cease trying.

all things nice

josephine ‘posey’ ‘duckie’ wells

posey leaves london for boston as an evacuee during the blitz, but with a brother in the raf and a mother at risk of being bombed she soon decides sitting idle across the pond won’t do. accompanied by her trusty childhood best friend, a teddy bear named teddy, she cuts off all of her hair and disguises herself as a man. she laughs loudly, swears a lot, and is terrible at holding her alcohol. those who love her would describe her as a whirlwind. those who don’t would describe her as fearless.

the shadows duology

juliette chevalier

juliette was born in bordeaux, france and moved to london, england when she was eleven. initially a code breaker, she was quickly recruited to work for the special operations executive as a spy. she’s as affectionate as a puppy and equally as enthusiastic with her hugs. she loves art, reading, and, eventually, life.

juliette’s boys

the boys in juliette’s team are tom, will, martin, and alexis. a patchwork of personalities, she loves them all dearly and would do anything for them. her best friend, however, is tom, a platonic soulmate in its truest form. no one understands her like tom and no one ever will. they’ll never be in love but will always be attached at the hip. the team has been through everything together and are more siblings than colleagues. they laugh at, sob for, scream at, and fight with each other, but they never doubt how much they’re all loved.

Brothers

Whumpril 2024 April 4th, 2024 SWAYING Cal Finlay (OC) Main Verse

He swayed when he got nervous. It was a habit he had shown since he was younger. Back then, instead of more proof that he was on the spectrum Cal Finlay had simply been told to stop. His brother didn't sway, their father had once pointed out, because he knew how to control himself. He knew how to listen. Yet, no matter how much he tried to stop the swaying, Cal found that it brought him peace.

Today was one of the days where he found himself swaying the most.

For The Love of Progress II was going to be a fun show for those in attendance. Cal had been so thankful that he had been invited. Progress Wrestling was, after all, where he had begun his wrestling journey. He may have been working in Japan with his brother these days, but his heart laid with the company where it all began. Had everything gone right, he would have been booked on the show, but Cal knew how important the match with the Grizzled Young Vets was for his friends Maddox and Harlow.

It was a surprise, then, to see his brother David make his way out to the ring with his partner Lyra Dawn at his side. Why was David here? When had he gotten here? Cal tried to recall if his brother had told him he would be coming to the show, tried to remember if David had been on his flight. In truth, they hadn't spoken much since David had lost the IWGP Global Championship the same night that Cal had become the NJPW Television Champion at New Beginning. David had never been interested in Progress. Why now?

Cal didn't realize he had been swaying on his feet as his brother began his tirade.

It started with the statements against Will Ospreay and Spike Trivet. Cal hadn't really cared about that. The war that had been waged against Ospreay and his men in the United Empire still played hell on his body, his bicep especially. And Trivet? Cal had never forgotten how the so-called sovereign lord had humiliated him by sending a straight jacket to his house during their feud. It wasn't until David had started in on his best friends, Maddox and Harlow, that Cal felt his anger building towards his brother. He couldn't stop the show like this, he couldn't say whatever he wanted about his home.

Cal's swaying turned into footsteps and he found himself standing across from David in the ring, microphone in hand. "Enough, David. Enough. These people don't wanna hear it. Maddox deserves his spot as champ."

David gave Cal a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, clapping a hand to his brother's shoulder, "There's that fire, Cal! I'm glad you're finally standing up to me! And here, in Progress, where I have such big news to tell everyone!"

Cal looked confused, brow furrowing in thought, "News?"

"War Dogs have needed some tuning up for a while, Cal," David gave an almost sad look in his brother's direction, "and you? Well...I just don't think you make the cut."

Cal didn't realize what was happening until the forearm caught him from behind. This group of attackers had some familiar faces among them, David and Lyra's partner Jace Sweeny mostly, but otherwise it was overwhelming to pick anyone out. The four men to one was too much, even if Cal threw some hearty punches. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening. Hadn't he been a good brother? Hadn't he always done everything he could to support David?

The biggest of the three, a muscular beast of a man with his hair pulled tight into a knot at the top of his head, took hold of Cal's arms as David paced back and forth. "Please..." Cal muttered a quiet plea, being forced to kneel on the mat as he was held firm, "We...we can talk about this..."

David stopped, holding a hand out to Lyra, who produced the shillelagh that he had been carrying for so long. He admired it for a moment, speaking plainly, "Look at me, Cal."

"David pl-"

David placed the shillelagh under Cal's chin, pushing his head up so that their eyes met, a sneer on his face, "I told you to look at me, Cal. Why can't you ever listen?"

As David slammed the weapon into his temple, Cal found himself swaying again.

This time it was in pain as he fell, unconscious to the mat.

The Need To Protect

Whumpuary 2024 January 17-18 2024 Make It Stop/Restrained/Hair Grabbing Alarick Bane (OC), Maddox Lovell (OC)/Harlow Fischer (OC) Slight AU

A loud snarl tore through Alarick Bane's throat as he attempted to pull himself free of the grasp of the man who called himself Bullit. This wasn't fair, none of this was fair. He had been so close to being able to help Maddox finally take on the threat that was Spike Trivet and Dominatus Regnum, so close to evening the odds that had been stacked against The Lykos Gym.

All it had taken to stop him was a shot with the elegantly crafted silver head of the cane Spike Trivet had started to carry.

Since Harlow had managed to win Super Strong Style 16, Spike Trivet had made it his goal in life to ruin the shitwolves chances at ever taking the title. There had been plenty of back and forth between the two men. He remembered, sadly, the end of the first match between Spike and Maddox, the pain of seeing someone he considered a little brother having something so precious stolen. Maddox's wife had done her best to hide his face that day, as had their little shitwolf brother Harlow. All four had sworn to make a game plan the next time Harlow decided to take what he deserved from Spike Trivet.

Today was supposed to be that second chance.

Both men had put something important on the line. For Spike Trivet, who months ago had lost the Progress World Championship to Will Ospreay, it was his place in the world. If Spike lost, he would allow himself to be tossed into a hospital ward for his ever faltering mental health. For Maddox it was his mask, his identity as the man known as Kid Lykos. Both Harlow and Maddox had executed their part of the plan with little issues.

Alarick hadn't been so lucky.

The affliction to silver had been his downfall. Since Super Strong Style 16, Spike had been carrying his new cane as a signifier of his wealth. The head of it was carved out of silver to resemble a howling wolf in order to mock the Lykos Gym. Alarick had been mid-fight with Charlie Sterling on the outside when he had been spun to face the larger Bullit and cracked in the skull with the weapon.

Now here Alarick knelt, forced to watch the action in the ring. He snarled as he tried to struggle, but the strike had left him weak. Now all he could do was try his best to get free as the referee's hand landed for the three count.

For Spike's win.

"That's because of you," snarled Bullit in Alarick's ear, "long live Dominatus Regnum."

[snapdrxgon-ivy]

Harlow being a bitey teenager who works herself far past her limit, judges her brother for not putting in the same effort, and fights to prove herself when she doesn't have to.

Nico looks at her and sees so much of himself that it hurts. He looks at Maddox, too, and sees everyone he fought to protect in him. Nico may not ever want kids of his own, but when he sees those two he can't help but open his door in a way he wished someone did for himself.

Kay's Whumptober Day #19

Prompt #19: I'll take one final step. All you have to do is make me.

Pairing: Sami CallihanxEddie Edwards

Mentions Of: Davey Richards, Alisha Edwards, Audrina Colette (OC), Lyra Dawn (OC), Harlow Fischer (OC), Maddox Lovell (OC)

Verse: Main, Slight AU

Everything Eddie Edwards had become in life was thanks to one man.

It had started with the baseball bat sending the chair into his eye. Eddie had won the match against 𝗵𝗶𝗺. He had rolled 𝗵𝗶𝗺 up fairly only to end up attacked from behind. That chair had been placed over his chest and that with the combined force of the bat wrapped in barbed wire had busted open his eyes. Even now, he could feel the force of the blow if he thought about it for too long. It had been that hit from the bat that snowballed into where he was now.

The eye injury, after all, had led to the obsession with 𝗵𝗶𝗺.

Eddie had stalked the man who professed himself as the new horror for the better part of a year before his and Davey's adopted daughter Lyra Dawn had taken the hard measure to do what needed to be done. Eddie had been checked into a mental institution for his betterment, trying to get him the help that he so desperately needed. Eddie had stewed in his own anger, his hatred while he lived life away from his then husband and adopted daughter.

Once he had been checked out, Eddie had tried to live life normally again. Davey had become a rock, even if Eddie allowed his emotions to be ruled without honor. It hadn't mattered how positive the addition of the British wolves were to his life. As long as Audrina Colette whispered darkness in his ear, Eddie had only wanted to do what she said. The darkness was due to 𝗵𝗶𝗺.

Everything was because of 𝗵𝗶𝗺.

For a brief, shining moment after Audrina left, life had been good. Eddie and Davey had been happy and planning a world tour together. It felt like the time before the darkness, before the injury. Eddie had dared to hope and dream. That light, that good, had quickly turned to darkness after a man of shadows had torn his Davey away. Even Alisha, who had been their third musketeer had been worried about Eddie's behavior, and rightfully so. Eddie had been willing to throw away his sobriety because he couldn't stand the pain anymore.

And then 𝙝𝙚 had shown up at the bar.

As soon as Eddie's cold blue eyes, consumed with rage and hurt, met the cruel brown eyes of the man who had ruined everything, the elder wolf had been ready to fight. "I'll take one final step. All you have to do is make me," the man rasped as he told his hands up in submission. Eddie wanted nothing more than to fight, but this darkness? This evil?

It was the only fucking thing that made sense right now.

"It always comes back to you," Eddie didn't try to push him away, refusing to look at Sami Callihan. He sniffed, stirring the ice in his water, "No matter where I'm fuckin' at in life, it always comes back to you."

"Ya ain't drinkin' are ya?" Callihan sat down next to him. There was a silence between the two and Callihan cut hand signals to the bartender to cut Eddie off from the possibility of alcohol. "I have 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 where ya are, ya know. I don't care if you want to drink or not. I'm not letting you go down the same path I did."

Eddie snarled, hunched over the bar, "I don't give a shit if you've been down that road. You're my enemy. Ya get that, right? You always fuckin' have been."

The sharp bark of a laugh that left Callihan's lips made Eddie want to smash the glass in his hand over Callihan's head. "You're damn right I have been, but I always 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 you, Eddie. Despite all the bullshit, that respect lingers. I'd be shitting all over that if I let ya throw your life away. I refuse to let you."

Eddie glanced over at the man, noticing little things about him for the first time. The way his lips turned into a rugged smirk. The way his eyes seemed to sparkle with an almost mischievous light. He shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose as he admitted, "I respect the talent you have. Always did. Ain't no one able to drive me crazy like you have. And I mean that literally. I ended up in an asylum because of you."

Callihan laughed again, a throaty sound that had once driven Eddie mad. Now? For some reason, Eddie decided that laugh was warm. "I respect your talent, too. I can't say I know how you're feeling right now, but I've been alone. I know what it's like to not have that one person you'd move mountains for, to have them not be with you. Turning to the bottle nearly ruined my life. I won't let it ruin yours. I'll be damned.

Eddie wanted to tell Sami the truth, that this would not be the first time he turned to the bottle. It would just be the first time Davey wasn't here to stop him. "We're enemies. We...uh..."

"That rivalry is behind us," Callihan protested, a gentle hand to Eddie's shoulder. It was the first time that he had ever laid a nonviolent hand on him, Eddie mused. "But now? I'm here to help. However you need it, I'll help you, Eddie."
