The Arms of VENUS Introducing...Upham and Punswell by Terry T. Brown

A novella introducing Dr. John Upham and Croft Punswell, who carry on the traditions of their ancestors, who were named Watson and Holmes. In this first volume of what is destined to be an ongoing series, the two meet to investigate an attempted art fraud. The arms of Venus de Milo have been found!!! Or, have they? That's the question. The "discovery" is being championed by a modern-day professor named Moriarty. Sounds suspicious, eh? From Michigan to London, to Paris, and back, the crime-fighting duo attempt to unravel the mystery of "The Arms of Venus."

“Are you Terry?  Good.  The pics you sent are a little…  outdated.  Still, you are honest when it comes to your size.  C’mere….

“You are the right size.  Five foot seven?...  Five six!  Now boy, I told you to address me as Boss.  I am not your Sir or your Master. 

“I see you followed orders with what you wore.  I know it’s a bit cool, but it’s very important that you wear a T-shirt and gym shorts that you don’t care if they are stained or torn.  See I can reach in and feel for your nipples.  I can tell you are smooth, which is good.  And I can reach into your shorts to feel no hair around your pecker.  Very good.  And your pecker…  It’s definitely a micro-penis. 

“Now your pussy…  Hairless.  Pre-lubed?  That’s a nice surprise.  And let’s see if you cleaned out.  Quit squirming.  It’s just my finger.  I don’t feel anything.  Now for the visual.  No brown streaks.  This would have ended right here if my finger found any mud.

“You get the weekend off?...  Good.  If I think you warrant more than this evening, then I’ll keep you around.

“Walk with me.  But first.  Bitch boys like you should dress like bitch boys….  I told you that your shirt could get torn, and with one yank, most of it is torn off.  Here, take the piece in my hand and throw it and what remains of your shirt in the garbage.

“It might be cold, but you look more appropriate like that.  And don’t worry about the cold, my van is up ahead.  And it’s Friday at six, the factory and loading dock workers are long gone.

“OK, we are past where this can be viewed from the street.  Hold still….  Well, those shorts came off way easier than your shirt.  They tore up much faster.  So, I guess when I’m done with you, you’ll have to find some new clothes.  If you do good—I mean really good—I’ll dump you by your house.

“Too bad some of my co-workers aren’t still working the loading dock to see a scrawny-assed pussy boy walking next to a real man.  They would have known that you were going to get used.  So many cat call whistles would have been made.  I miss those days when shit like that happened with regularity. 

“Many years ago, when I started working here, after the almost all the men have left, men and boys would come out as the dark set in.  I remember hitting the pub down the street for a few hours after getting off work along with some of my buds some of which were also waiting for the right time.  We all knew what we were up to; no one said anything. 

“I would come back here to the dark alleys and really plow some boy’s hole.  I loved it when I drew a crowd.  Sometimes a train would start, and I would just leave that boy get plowed by some other worker and go back to the pub.  Hours later after I left, I would see the same bitch boy still getting railed in the alley, only to join in and get my second or third nut.

“There was about a dozen of us guys—not all at the same time—who would frequent it as our way of blowing of the day’s stress.

“I miss those days.  The conservative police chief cracked down hard.  There’s no public anything.  So, my buds either go without or they spend their hard-earned money on motels for a five-minute fuck with a third-rate whore.

“The apps seem to make things easier, but shittier at the same time.  I’m glad you responded to me.

“Here’s my van.  I like to call it my Shaggin’ Wagon.  Blacked out windows and a curtain between the front and the cargo area, means it was made for fucking, anywhere I go.

“Come to the side door.  Look inside.  Everything you need for a good time.  Mattress, toolchest full of toys, restraints, rimseat… all the goodies.  The foam on the walls act as some soundproofing. 

“No, don’t get in yet.  Bend over first.  I need to bust my nut, and I want to stand for it.  Reach behind you and feel me.  No, no.  Don’t look.  In fact, I should do this….

“…Hold still.  Quit squirming…  That hood is not coming off for a long time.  I don’t want you to see anything.  Now grab a hold of my cock.  Hard isn’t it?  I was hard ever since I saw that clitty of yours.

“Feel it at your back door?  It’s coming in.  Open your mouth first.  This is a pair of my dirty underwear.  You are going to scream, and that should shut you up.

“Ready?  On the count of three.  One….  FUCK your pussy feels good.  Ha!  I never make it to three.  For a small boy like you, you have one deep puss.  It’s gonna go far. 

“…And you can take a power slam.  Bitch, I am loving your hole.  You are going to go far with me this weekend. 

“…My cock however is not going to last long.  It’s like silk in here and it fucking feels great.  Your puss is going to be put to the test this weekend.  I’m a multiple cummer, and you are going to be full.

“Do that again.  Clamp down.  Fuck!  I’m already close.  Boy, I’m going to flood your guts with a two-week load.  Here it cums.  Here it cums pussy boy!  Uhh, ahh, fuck, ahhhh!  Ahhhhhh.  Fuck yeah.

“Bitch.  You know how to work that hole.  I’m going to pull out.  Clamp down….

“Jesus!  I haven’t cum that fast in a long time.  I would love to say it was all your hole.  No, it’s that there are two on-lookers, I got two of my closest buds standing beside me. 

“Hey!  You guys are going to like this hole.  I haven’t tried out the boy’s mouth.  Why don’t you guys climb in, and we will be off.

“Boy, climb up.  These two men are managers on my shift.  We go way back to those after-work fuck days.  They get first crack at you.  Treat them with the utmost respect they deserve even though they are going to treat you like shit.  After they are done, I have a number of other guys lined up at another few spots.  You are going to perform for all of them as well as you did me.

“Gentlemen, while this is a new boy, the old rules still apply.  You can get as wild as you want, just no permanent or long-lasting damage, no shit, no blood.  I don’t need a bloody mess back here.

“Get your leg in bitch.  I need to close the door.  The Shaggin’ Wagon needs to move, and your pussy needs to be turned into one hell of a sloppy gaping cunt.  I’ll be up front drivin’ and chillin’ and smokin’ my cigar with the sounds of men using a cum dump bitch boy.  Let’s roll!”

Helena Kyle Wayne -30- Thief- Stray

Anastasia al ghul-28- assassin- Viper

 Carrie Kelly -26- hero- Blue jay

 Matt wanye-23- hero- Nightwing

Stephanie Brown-21- antihero- Red Hood

 Tim Drake -21- hero- Oracle

 Duke thomas -17- hero- Signal

 Cassandra cain-15- hero- Secret

 Jason todd -15- hero- Shadow

 Richard grayson-12- hero- Robin

 Barbara gordon -11- hero- Batgirl 

-The gender bend Damien is caused by my Pinterest.

 the mantle Robin is called shadow in this AU 

 I do know Terry and Matt are mcginnis's but in this one they are just called wayne

The ages that I have applied are just the base ages that I used for my math 

If anyone wants to write my AU I give you my permission.

I do know if I'm doing reverse Matt should be older but by the time I realized by mistake I was too far in so just ignore that.-

My reverse Robins AU story

 Terry and Matt were originally created due to a super soldier program. That the government used Batman's DNA for. Bruce found them and they were the original children taken in.  Matt is the original one to create the title of shadow. He shares it with Terry. 

Anastasia was created the normal way through Talia and Bruce, Alexandria was a biological experiment to be a backup heir. Alex and Matt call each other twins due to being born two weeks apart. Anastasia had already gone on League missions so she had a harder time conforming to the rules but she is very close with Terry while Alex had not gone on any League missions but did have the training.  Anastasia goes by the name Viper which was her League name then it turned into her hero name but she later went back to being an assassin after she killed Joker for Stephanie and got into a fight with her father. Alex shares the name shadow with Matt after Terry takes the name batwing.

Selena got into a lot of trouble and needed to give Helena to Bruce. Bruce only has sole custody for about a year and a half before they do split custody once everything is settled. Helena takes the name Stray to honor her mother. Helena is originally a hero with the rest of her siblings But becomes a thief like her mother after she separates from the family when Stephanie dies due to grief. she does come back.

 Carrie is a child vigilante inspired by shadow. She is not adopted until she is 16  when her guardian dies in a car accident. She ends up being quite close with Terry, Helena and Anastasia.

Tim and Stephanie are friends with Matt  and Alex. They go to Gotham Academy together.They are introduced to vigilante life due to a kidnapping accident involving the four. Stephanie still takes the name spoiler and Tim ends up using  the mantle shadow when Alex is injured. Stephanie ends up being the one that dies and Tim was tortured to be Joker junior not even a week after she was killed. due to the torture Tim is wheelchair-bound. Stephanie's death causes a major Rift in the family which leads to Terry, Helena and Anastasia not talking to Bruce. Matt still talks to Bruce but he ends up moving to bludhaven at 17 while Alex stays at the Manor to take care of Cass while Bruce is grieving.Due to Alex being the only one at the Manor She ends up being close to Tim(which I specifically wrote in to be ironic)The League of Assassins do resurrect Stephanie though there is no big reveal due to the fact that Anastasia is working with her mother when Stephanie is Resurrected though she was not in on the resurrection. Stephanie comes back to be red hood and feels detached from the family due to Bruce Kicking Anastasia out for the Joker's death. Tim ends up taking the name Oracle to help Anastasia due to their not being as many vigilantes in Gotham then there was before Stephanie died due to the big fight. 

Cassandra has her usual backstory but she's brought into the family before Stephanie is killed. Cassandra ends up taking the name Secret due to her secretly following Batman and the rest of the vigilantes on patrol before she was adopted into the family. 

Bruce ends up fostering Duke after failing to save his parents from a joker attack and takes him in due to guilt. Duke is the first one to be taken in after Stephanie's death so there are a lot of funny interactions with him having no idea how the family was before and meeting the older siblings. Duke later finds out about Bruce being Batman and the rest of the vigilantes being his children then takes on the name Signal. 

Jason is taken in the same way as before hitting Bruce with the tire iron and everything. Jason ends up being shadow and also being the only Shadow to work Solo due to their usually being two Shadows. Jason is the one that ends up bringing Bruce back from being Lost in Time.

 Richard is taken in the same way as well. Richard ends up taking the name Robin to honor his parents instead of the name shadow.Richard is taken in for about half a year before Batman has lost in time.Richard feels very cursed with losing parental figures back to back but he does end up getting very close to Alexandria before Batman comes back.

Barbara becomes friends with Richard at school and later goes out as Batgirl.

Dndads Headcanons, season 2 kiddads and teens (appearance based)

the order of the kiddads from tallest to shortest is: terry jr, sparrow (by like half an inch), lark, grant, nick (but none of them are really all that short)

Lark, sparrow, and nick all have their ears pierced but sparrows holes closed up and he didn't wanna relive the traumatic experience of re-piercing them, while larks have gotten infected so many times he just stopped trying.

Terry dresses like a substitute teacher literally every day of this fucking life.

Sparrow is almost always wearing a bathrobe or a comfy cardigan. He dresses like a mixture of a female therapist and a deranged housewife.

Lark dresses like he's in the walking dead

Nick has a frankly absurd amount of Christmas sweaters and it's VERY obvious which ones are from Glenn.

Grant has curly hair.

both lark and sparrow need glasses. sparrow wears his when he needs them, but Lark never wears them because they make him look like henry.

terry jr also wears glasses and started wearing rons after he died.

scary was born with blonde hair, but it's gotten darker as she got older. right now, it's a light brown/sandy blonde. when her mom and terry Jr. got engaged, he tried to bond with scary by pointing out that their hair was almost the same color. she dyed it black the next day.

on the topic of hair dye, taylor tried to dye his hair electric blue when he was in middle school and had to buzz it all off cause he destroyed it with bleach. he cried for 2 weeks.

both scary and taylor regularly paint their nails. normal TRIES to paint his nails but then gets annoyed that now they taste gross and ends up picking off all the nail polish before its even finished drying

btw normals nails are so fucked up. just absolutely destroyed. theyre so bad. he has never cut them hes only ever bitten them off.

on the other hand Lincolns nails are really well kept. he pushes back his cuticles and everything.

the only non-sportswear type clothing that lincoln owns are garfield t-shirts. he has alot of them

Scary is taller than Taylor, but only when she's wearing her combat boots, which add like 2 inches to her height.

Lincoln is only taller than Terry jr by an inch (and 6 feet lmaooo)

Everyone's taller than normal.

Lark and sparrow both have a dimple on one of their cheeks but it's the opposite side of the others.

Normal has dimples on both cheeks!

Taylor only has horns when he's using magic or really angry and they're very small. When he saw them for the first time he got pissed cause they're nothing like his trollsonas.

Taylor totally has an ahegao hoodie.

Taylor has a t-shirt that's just a written apology to women for his ahegao hoodie

Normal has a lot of nasa hoodies that he keeps stealing from hero to piss her off

Scary stole one of Terry jr cardigans, dyed it back, and ripped it up to make it goth cause she THOUGHT it would piss him off. But it backfired, and terry started wearing it around the house to be supportive.

Scary also secretly stole one of Terry Jr's old band t-shirts for herself cause she thought it was cool. Terry knows she has it but will not say a goddamn word cause he thinks it's so sweet.

Grant has a picture of baby Lincolns face on a t-shirt next to the titanic that says "I survived the titanic and all I got was this stupid baby" given to him by nick that he has never worn because it's mean but it's collecting dust in a closet somewhere in the house. Lincoln found it once but didn't understand it cause he never saw the titanic, so he just didn't say anything.

2024 Anticipated Book Releases

I thought I had a lot of anticipated book releases for 2023, but 2024 is also proving to be a year of many books I'm excited about too. These are all the books I'm looking forward to in the first half of the year!

January:

-A Fragile Enchantment by Alison Saft: (Jan 2nd) rom-com fantasy about a dressmaker hired to make the royal wedding dress, but she starts to fall for the prince instead.

-Mislaid in Parts Half-Known Wayward Children 9) by Seanan (Jan 9th) The second to last book in this novella series, this one featuring dinosaurs!

-The Atlas Complex (The Atlas Series #3) by Olive Blake (Jan 9th) the final books to this magical dark academia trilogy, and I've been excited for this one since the ending of book 2.

-Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde 2) by Heather Fawcett (Jan 16th) The second book in this new historical fantasy series, in which Emily and Wendall go on a new adventure in the Austrian Alps. This is one of my most anticipated books of the year.

-City of Stardust by Georgia Summers (Jan 30th) this is a new fantasy debut that sounds similar to The Starless Sea and features a woman descending down into a subterranean world to try and break a generational curse.

-House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City 3) by SJM (Jan 30th) I've been enjoying SJM's crescent city books the most of all her series, and I'm looking forward to this one after how book 2 ended.

February

-The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden (Feb 13th) This is possibly my most anticipated book of the year, and Katherine Arden's newest adult release. A historical fiction (and a little magical realism?) set in Europe during WW1 following a combat nurse trying to find her (presumably) dead brother.

-The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown (Feb 13th) A debut magical realism fantasy set in NYC with books, bookstores, and a mystery book. I've heard many good early reviews of this one.

-What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher (Feb 13th) This is a follow up novella to What Moves the Dead following Alex Easton in a new horror adventure. This one has such a cool cover.

-The Briar Book of the Dead by AG Slatter (Feb 13th) A coven of witches keeps a town and the border between realms safe.

March

-A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft (March 5th) I'm very excited to get two new Allison Saft books in 1 year. This is a dark academia fantasy about two rival scholars trying to figure out who killed their mentor. Sapphic romance too I believe.

-The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black (March 5th) This is the conclusion to The Stolen Heir, and I'm looking forward to the seeing more of the characters from the original series make an appearance in this one.

-The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo (March 19th) This is a spooky queer horror novella set in 1920s Appalachia. Small town religiosity and something sinister creeping in the woods? This just sounds like a novella I'd enjoy.

-Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland (March 21st) A new book from Lucy Holland, also set in magical ancient Briton. A warrior queen falls into trouble and teams up with the Wild Hunt to save her kingdom. Sapphic/queer romance.

-The Hedewitch of Fox Hall by Anna Bright (March 24th) a fantasy romance book set in medieval Wales as a hedge witch and prince team up to help prevent magic from fading away. The cover of this book is so beautiful!

April

-The Familiar by Leigh Barduo (April 9th) I don't really know much about this one, other than it is a new adult novel by Leigh Bardugo set in 1400s Spain. Also one of my most anticipated releases of the year.

-Song of Six Realms by Judy Lin (April 23rd) A young adult fantasy about a musician who goes to the Duke of Dreams's realm and must help stop a disaster.

June

-Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland (June 13th) A new high seas fantasy that was directly inspired by OFMD and Terry Pratchett. This is very queer and seems like it's going to be a lot of fun.

-Foul Days by Genovena Dimova (June 25th) A slavic fantasy story about a witch who has to team up with a detective as she is being hunted by her ex, the Tsar of Monsters. I've heard some very good early reviews of this book too.

-Children of Anguish and Anarchy (Children of Blood and Bone 3) by Tomi Adeyemi (June 25th) I honestly don't know if I'm going to read this anytime soon, but I've been waiting for this final book for almost 4 years now, so I just want to see how the series ends.

I think that's it for now! Release dates tend to change, and I'm sure I will be adding or editing this list as the new year starts. I'd love to hear of any new releases you are excited for!

Second half of 2024/To be determined:

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher (August)

The Mercy of Gods by James SA Corey (August)

Strawberry

Tw: well, nothing like that, but an obscene enough kiss?

The cold corridors of the hospital smelled of damp and medicines. Even starched dressing gowns are so saturated with the smell of antiseptics that when you arrive home, your whole body smells of alcohol outside of work clothes. But true connoisseurs of their work are only encouraged and reminded of their favorite profession literally always.

Hurried nurses with tablets run along the corridor; old gurneys from the forgotten times of the hospital's foundation, covered with strange, non-washable stains, drive; doors open every now and then and return to their original position with a pop of hinges, clicking dully.

You once again turn right and then left and see the long-awaited end of the corridor. You could have sworn that this endless hospital maze took a good fifteen minutes of your professional time. It was worth it.

You hurriedly, as far as patent leather heels allow, approach the farthest iron door at the end of the corridor, right by the window. You briefly nod to the guard following you all this time.

"I remember the rules. If anything happens, I'll call you, Daniel, okay?"

Now the guard gives a small nod. His eyes are hidden from you by the usual dark glasses, but you can swear that he looks at you with concern. Just like an older brother.

The man opens the door with a massive key and lets you in.

The black walls are hung with various masks. There was a bed on the side of the ward, surprisingly neatly made; in the center there was a table with a lamp on and a bunch of materials for needlework. This patient's room has never been distinguished by cheerful colors and lush decoration, but it was beautiful in its own way and inspired a sense of calm. An ordinary child's room.

You relax when you notice the hunched figure above the table. On the chair under him hangs the usual thin terry-cloth jacket, so now the man is sitting in a white worn T-shirt. You walk up to the wall and touch the first mask you see with your fingers.

"Good job, Michael."

The man shifts his body slightly towards your voice. Only you are allowed to touch his masks, you and no one else.

"Are you hungry, Michael? I was told that you refused your lunch again."

Time after time, you say his name softly. Only from your mouth it sounded so soft and at ease. You approach the man and put your hand on his shoulder, slowly rubbing. He seems to be relaxing. Running your hand along the entire length of his shoulders, you touch the brown hair with your fingers, pushing them aside. Now you see Myers wearing a mask. Orange, similar to a pumpkin.

"I brought you something."

Even though it is forbidden by the rules, you managed to persuade Dr. Loomis, and he had a conversation with his superiors, to allow you to bring some strawberries for this silent patient. Not so long ago you managed to find out that he really loved her as a child. Maybe this will help him get better?

You put a small plastic container on the edge of the table. Michael notices this and removes the brush from his hands, putting down the paper. You open the white lid and slowly take out one berry.

"I need to pull back your mask so I can see your mouth, Michael."

Myers freezes for a moment, but immediately begins to slowly and carefully pull back the edge of the mask. Just enough so that you can reach his mouth.

You put your free hand on his chin, lightly stroking the stubble, and pull him down. The yielding lips open. You calmly bring the strawberries to his mouth and put them inside, closing your lips with your fingers. You can't see his face underneath, but you're sure that his ultramarine eyes are now animalistically glaring at you, intently watching your every move. You're smiling.

"Do you like it?"

An uncertain nod. You look around the room and notice the chair you left before. Putting him next to Michael, you sit down, straightening the edge of the robe. You looked smaller now than when you were standing. Myers is huge.

You take another berry and also carefully put it in the man's mouth. He chews slowly. You are fascinated by the movement of his chin, the work of his neck and thick veins on it, the protruding Adam's apple.

You fold your hands in your lap, hoping that Michael will take this gesture as an opportunity to eat himself. He hesitates a little, but then follows your example and pulls out a red berry from the container. But the man does not carry it in his mouth. He pulls the mask to the usual place on his face and brings his fingers with strawberries to your chin. You raise an eyebrow, but noticing the man's expectant look, you obediently open your mouth. Michael puts a berry in your mouth, watching you chew slowly. His fingers are still covered in red juice. The man runs them over your lips, leaving a wet trail. You can see how his eyes sparkle under his hair and mask. You instinctively lick your lips, touching Michael's fingers with your hot tongue. Myers runs his nails over your plump lips again, unexpectedly sliding inside. You feel his fingers pressing on your tongue, as your mouth fills with more and more saliva. The man moves his fingers back and forth, watching your reaction. The sweetness of the berry juice and the slight bitterness of his skin contrast pleasantly while you slowly wrap your tongue around his thick fingers.

Extremely unprofessional.

You make a couple more short movements when Michael removes his fingers. He looks at your lips, pink saliva dripping from the corner of your mouth. You can't see, but Michael is grinning under the mask, feeling a strange bubbling in his chest. An aching tingling, more like an electric wave, echoing in every cell of his large body. This was his first time.

You were sitting opposite a man with flaming crimson cheeks and ears. Sweat broke out on his forehead. You tucked the strands falling over your face behind your ear, looking away in embarrassment and trying to catch your breath. Your own heart was pounding in your ears.

"Well, Michael," you noticed that he tilted his head to the side, "If you still want strawberries, you should finish them now; we don't have much time left for visiting."

While Myers was doing your request, you were flipping through a stack of drawings lying on the corner of the table. Chaotic strokes were visible on the slightly crumpled paper, gathering into a single, slightly strange image. In some drawings, Michael depicted his mother, these were routine activities, for example, homework or a quarrel with her boyfriend; in others there were simple doodles of animals or some details of the hospital that Michael remembered during walks; in others there was you. Such sketches were executed with extreme care. And although they were not professional, rather, they only vaguely resembled someone's portrait, you immediately recognized yourself in them: your usual uniform with a miniature chain on your collarbones and the distinctive features of your face. On each drawing with you there was a short inscription "Mine".

Puritianverse but darker…

Alpha Terry is married to Beta Cheyenne. He doesn’t love her; this was all arranged, less a marriage, more a transaction to merge their mighty business empires together. After several bitter years of marriage, there are still no children, and tongues are wagging. But Terry does not care, and he takes his pleasure in “night Omegas”, much to Cheyenne’s anger and dismay. He spends many nights at those establishments…that is, until his interests change when he meets Daniel.

Now his interests lie with him; an Omega hired as one of the help in the Silver mansion. Omegas usually don’t have careers, and are rarely hired in paying, respectable jobs, and least of all in the house of an Alpha—but Daniel is a young widow with a baby who desperately needs money, and he had been refused from all the other places he’d applied to. Terry hired him on a whim, those big brown tear filled eyes pleading for help, the pretty, pouting mouth, and the sweet scent of milk on his tempting little body stirring something protective and possessive in Terry that he thought he’d never feel.

But Terry has needs of his own, so when he tells the Omega that he will pay him more if he will let Terry “take liberties” (…and if he refuses he will blacken Daniel’s name and ruin any chances of him keeping his beloved baby girl…) well…it starts a whole new slew of problems.

Especially when Daniel gets with Terry’s child.

Ah yes - many prompts in my inbox choosing ultra violence lately.

This makes me think of an AU where he is currently pregnant and in need of a job 🤔

Terry hiring him because he wants to get this hands on the pregnant little omega - he’s absolutely stunning, and Terry has always wanted to try pregnant omega pussy.

But for this one.

I imagine that Terry’s plan is to bed the omega and get him heavy with child - he needs an heir after all.

He has no plans to tell the little omega this - the idea is to ingratiate himself to Daniel and let it happen naturally without the little omega realizing or being able to protest.

The little omega grateful for Terry hiring him and being such a generous employer all the while not bit wise to what Terry actually wants (and will get).

Long NSFW and only read through once.

Daniel, being a pious omega, must adhere to the church’s ideals for mourning his late alpha for at least a year, and maybe then, giving himself to the church.

And Terry won’t let the omega waste himself on that.

Cheyenne hates him of course. Although it’s a pride thing it’s also a power thing - she can’t get the alpha to look at her like that - with such hunger and want and the little twit is oblivious to it.

Oh the power she could have if Terry would look at her like that - she can’t even get him to touch her.

They did their duty but she failed to become pregnant so the visits to her chambers became less and less.

She knows Terry is planning something.

She knows there is something special about this omega - he normally never beds the same one twice and all this effort for an omega of such lowly standings whom he hasn’t even fucked yet.

Gifts and his attention he bestows on the omega - he barely lifts a finger to do actual work - and he has started to work later and later into the night, often dining with them.

Terry dotes on the little brat too - a dark haired beauty with her father but with blue eyes.

It almost looks like she could pass for Terry and the omega’s child, and it sets her teeth on edge. There was a few weeks back

Terry actually had a nursery done up for the babe - so that Daniel could “work” more hours.

One night she goes past the nursery, looking for her husband - she is determined to have him visit her chambers tonight.

He is in there, of course, as it is the babe’s bedtime and where Daniel is, so usually is Terry.

Her husband is watching Daniel nurse her, something she knows he lives to witness.

The look he is giving the omega, giving them both, as Daniel tends to Sam, trying to get her to latch on as she seems fussy tonight.

She can’t stand it. Can’t stand him or it any longer.

When he hears Terry ask the little whore, “how long did it take long for you to fall with child when your alpha took his liberties?” she walks away, in a cold fury.

“Where is Daniel?” Terry asks, coming into the dining room for breakfast, which for him normally consists of black coffee and eggs.

He carries in his hand a small pink dress, obviously for the baby and she grits her teeth.

“Today is market day,” she reminds her husband, the edge to her voice that he hears but doesn’t really care about.

“I know. It’s why I have her a new dress for spring to wear with us today.”

Terry would never have been caught dead doing such menial chores before - the mundane day to day life chores that he hired staff to do - that he hired Daniel to do.

“He has already left.”

Terry frowns. The little omega knows they do mid morning, after breakfast.

He regards Cheyenne until she sighs,

“I sent him. We need to talk.”

“So talk,” he says, taking his coffee but waving away any attempt at food. He will wait for the little omega to return and dine with him. Sam shall be hungry as well, around that time, and he can watch The little omega tend to her. He had been so shy at the beginning, the alpha insist at that it was only natural and that the babe should be fed when hungry. Much to Terry’s delight he now had no such reservations around him, feeding her as necessary. It will serve them well - Terry is close to bedding the little omega, having endeared himself to Daniel, and he will get him with pup when he does. Of that there is no doubt. The boy will be bred thoroughly and often.

“He needs to go,” she says. “Everyone is talking.”

“Let them,” he shrugs. Their tongues will really be wagging when Daniel starts to show anyway.

“He is with child? Your child?” She had expected Terry to fuck him, that was a given, and she’s surprised he hadn’t although, I guess she had. How had she not know this? She didn’t think he would be stupid enough to get the boy pregnant with his seed.

“Not yet,” Terry says. “He is almost ready though.”

“If you do not get rid of him I will. I am your wife and I have put up with your whores long enough …”

But it’s not even out of her mouth Terry has her by the throat. “You will do no such thing - he is off limits. It’s time you learn that and what is truly good for you.”

He sits then, as if nothing happened and she makes her way quickly out of the room, but not before Terry’s voice calls out, falling her out of the room.

“Besides, they will be living here soon enough.”

When Daniel returns from the market Terry asks him just that.

“Your pay is very generous, sir.” He can easily afford his rent and more. “I have taken too much of your generosity now, sir.”

“Nonsense - your services are invaluable and in time, what you give me will be irreplaceable.”

“We would be an imposition, and the mistress …”

“Is not important. You both are here most hours of the day no — it would help the travel time.”

This is true - he has already stayed the night, in a guys bedroom next to the alpha’s after being convinced not to wake Sam just to head home.

Still, it is the Lady of the house he worries about. Something about how she looks at him, at his daughter - at them both.

“Could I think about it?” Of course, Terry says. “Now, did you both have a good day?” He asks, changing the subject.

Turns out there is no time to think about it. Within days of making the request, Daniel finds his building has been bought and while everyone else seems to not be affected, they find something wrong with his after a mandatory evaluation. What it is they never say but he can’t returns.

Teemrry finds out - Daniel isn’t sure how, but he does and before he knows it his things and his daughters are moved into the silver mansion within hours of finding out.

“I shall find a place soon, sir.”

“You know that is not necessary. This is happenstance - meant to be.”

“I do not wish to impose …”

“There is then enough space for you both.”

“Besides, if you stay here, you could save the money for her, an education fund perhaps. This district has the best schools.”

Terry will of course be sending all their pups to school, and Sam will take his last name as will Daniel, but Daniel doesn’t know this yet.

Daniel finds his room is next to the alpha’s, the guest room having been done up now, with a bassinet for Sam next to his bed.

“If there is something not to your liking, we can easily change it.”

“Anything I would change,” he says, turning wide eyes to the alpha, an incredulous tone to his voice. “It is perfect, sir. Thank you.”

“You like it then?”

“I love it.”

“Then that is all that matters.”

Tears well in his eyes, and Terry steps forward, brushing them away.

“You have been so kind to us, I cannot …”

“I am not without my reasons.”

Daniel looks at him, Terry’s hand still on his face, stroking under his eye.

“You both bring me much joy, and soon you will bring me much more than that.”

Before Daniel can ask, Sam’s wails cut through the quiet of the moment and if on cue, Daniel feels his chest leak, the small patches appearing , the alpha’s eyes drawn to them.

“I’ll get her, you get ready,” he says, gesturing to a rocking chair in the corner.

Terry lays Sam in Daniel’s arms as he guides her to fed, and Terry’s alpha preens when he remembers how shy the omega had been when he would have to feed Sam, Terry insisting on watching.

Terry is beyond thankful, for the day the desperate little omega had appeared, practically begging for a job.

How he got so lucky, he does not know but he will make sure he never takes that for granted.

————-

They develop a rhythm, and to be told, it doesn’t seem like much changes. Everything is heaven, until Daniel comes home one day, upset.

Daniel tries to say there is nothing wrong but Terry can tell. Gathering the little omega in his arms, gently rubbing his back, until he finally gets it out of him.”

There are rumors he is ruining their marriage - that he is a homewrecker.

Terry knows it is Cheyenne who has started the rumour and he will deal with that.

He will not have her upsetting his mate. Not now, and especially not when he is finally carrying.

“Cheyenne may be my wife, but it is in name only, our marriage.”

Terry tips his chin up, pressing his lips to the omega.

The little omega gasps, the alpha pressing their bodies together and he can feel the alpha’s need pressed against him, the hard outline.

He doesn’t even have time to protest although they would be token at best.

Before he knows he’s picked up, carried through the door that connects their rooms, laid on the alpha’s large bed, his body quickly covering him.

His head is swimming and he doesn’t think he has ever been this wet, and when a large hand sneaks up his shirt, cupping his heavy chest, he breaks the kiss, head tipping back, moaning loudly as the alpha teases his sensitive nipple.

“You have we tormenting me with these, little one. Now it is my turn.”

A warm mouth, Daniel arching up, as Terry’s mouth latches onto him, sucking.

He doesn’t even know when it happens but he finds himself without pants or underwear, large hands questing up his inner thigh; his legs spread as the alpha’s thumb open up slick folds, his most intimate place now on display for the alpha’s hungry gaze.

A thumb on his sensitive rosebud, and he can feel the pleasure mounting, spilling over when the alpha presses his mouth there, his tongue replacing his finger.

Lying there boneless, the alpha himself naked, his manhood stiff against him.

Daniel feels his cunt clench at the sight.

“Wait I … I have not … it’s been awhile and you are … quite endowed.”

“It will be fine. Trust me,” the head of his cock pressing against Daniel’s spit and slick wet hole. “Just relax for me.”

“Alpha, sir … there is also,” he breaks off in whimper, the head of the alpha’s cock breeching him, his body opening to accept it. He dings his nails into the alphas back, the stretch of his entrance around the alpha to accommodate him is delicious, and he’s almost panting as he continues. “I cannot be on anything, not whilst nursing anyway.”

While this is also frowned upon, birth control, as a widowed omega, it would be allowed if only to prevent alphas from coming around during heats.

“Alpha sir … I … do you have protection?”

Although the church frowns on these things - Condoms - he has to ask.

It would not be right - no, it would be an even bigger sin - to carry an alpha’s child to whom he is not wed.

Although he is shamed to admit his omega wants to - very very badly.

Bad enough Daniel is allowing this to happen, spreading his legs for an alpha he is not married to - an alpha who is married - he knows he cannot give himself to the church - not after allowing this.

Although he has a feeling the alpha will take him regardless - even if he were to protest - he has shown considerable patience already tonight. Daniel should already be on his hands and knees being pounded into as the alpha spends himself inside.

“Whatever for?” Terry asks, pushing some hair back, regretfully pulling free from the omega’s sinful body.

“If I were to fall full with your child … sir, I ….”

The omega still does not realize this is the point - he will carry Terry’s child, one way or another.

Although Terry plans on the little omega wearing his ring and name, a child will most definitely happen first.

It just so happens he does have some, as he would never risk an accidental pregnancy with the nightly omegas he would indulge himself with- although this pregnancy will be anything but accidental.

Planned all along.

“Having a child like this would not be proper.”

If it puts his omega at ease, and relaxes him, Terry can pretend.

Terry makes a show of rolling it on, then he’s leaning forward taking the omega’s mouth in a kiss, legs coming up to press tightly to his sides, as he guides himself into the omega’s body.

He makes sure to slip the condom off first.

A long moan, the omega baring his neck as the alpha’s length doesn’t stop once inside this time.

“Such a tight little pussy baby. Just like I knew it would.”

His face burns at the normal eloquent alpha’s crude words.

“No one since your alpha?”

“No sir, it’s not proper - only your husband normally has these rights.”

“Such a cute little pearl you have - begging to be played with.”

His back arches as Terry begins to rub his omegan clit, hard and peaking out from under its protective hood, in time with his thrusts.

The tank top he had been wearing is pulled down, exposing him to the alpha completely, his chest moving in time with the alpha’s deep thrusts.

“Made for this … and you thought I would let the church have this.”

The omega comes in a loud cry, bearing down on the alpha’s manhood, Terry groaning at the feel of the orgasm being squeezed out of him, filling the unwitting omega with his seed.

He keeps the ousting, making sure every last drop is out of him and deep inside Daniel where is belongs, rubbing his belly tenderly.

When he pulls out, Daniel’s face wrinkles as he feels the alpha’s seed come out of him.

“Alpha…” he starts.

“The condom broke,” Terry lies.

Maybe if he cleans himself up, but when he tries to sit up, the alpha presses a firm hand to his chest.

“We aren’t done yet, little one. I shall be having you again.”

He quickly finds himself on his hands and knees and before he can voice his concerns, the alpha is already back inside him, harder and bigger it seems than before.

“Alpha, sir …. Should we…” Daniel noticed that Terry had gone in bare this time, not putting a condom on, and he’s in the proper breeding position now.

“I’ve already filled you.”

“Maybe it has not taken,” he whimpers, although he is pushing back onto the cock.

“I’ll pull out,” Terry lies. No self respecting alpha would pull out of a fertile omega that they were trying to impregnate. Never mind that he gathered whatever seed had dropped out, fucking it back in as he bottomed out.

“If you insist on being so tempting you must deal with the repercussions.”

“Those cute little tits, how good your cunt smells to me …. God you must be a vision pregnant, I can’t wait to see it soon.”

So far gone Daniel doesn’t realize what is being said.

“You make me hard so I must find my pleasure in you …. I must spend myself deep inside you.”

He had planned on more money for this extra duties but he cannot disrespect his mate like that - especially as he is soon to be unknowingly carrying Terry’s child.

The alpha does not pull out, rather, fills him even deeper this time.

Sam cries shortly after Terry finishes, pumping another load into him, and his chest aches, his body responding to her cries as the milk starts to leak.

Putting some clothes on, Terry not bothering, she is brought to him and feeds her, Terry behind him, holding them both.

When she is settled though, she is taken back to her nursery.

Danielle can feel the alpha is hard again, and he’s lifted into his lap.

He doesn’t bother asking about a condom as he’s already in the alphas lap, his underwear pushed to the side so the alpha can guide himself back inside.

But when the telltale signs of the alpha being close come, Daniel tries to lift up enough so that Terry can slip free but the alpha growls. Instantly he freezes, the alpha grabbing his hips in grip that came only convey ownership, forcing him down as fucks up - he buries himself to the hilt as he comes deep inside.

Terry regrets that he won’t be able to experience a heat with his little omega, as there is no way he won’t be without child.

For now, it’s a small price to pay as Terry wants Daniel with child, and tied to him sooner rather than later.

Next time though, he will wait for a heat.

Will get to experience knotting him.

———————

“You knocked him up, didn’t you?”

“Of course. How could I not. I guess the problem isn’t with me like you have always claimed.”

“You’ll be sorry.”

A hand on her arm.

“I know you did not just threaten my mate, nor the child - my child - growing safely inside him.”

He tucks a piece of hair behind her ear, in a gentle gesture, grotesquely at odds with his tone and how tight he holds her arm.

“You have left me no choice,” she says.

Later that night, Daniel asks where Cheyenne is. She never misses dinner with them, even if she ignores Daniel throughout it.

Terry notices that the alpha is no longer wearing his ring.

He gets a vague explanation, of her wanting to see the world, try new things, and she is never mentioned again.

That night, all his things, including Sam’s bassinet are moved into the bedroom.

They make love, Terry behind him, loving inside him, a hand resting proprietarily on the slight curve to his stomach.

———————

A few weeks after that, Daniel starts to throw up.

Terry is behind him, gently rubbing his back as he heaves, unable to do much more to help his little omega feel better.

Terry stays seated as Daniel stands up, flashing the toilet, going to rinse his mouth out.

“I think … I think I may be with child.”

Truth is, he could smell it on him - plus the slight curve to his tummy now when they make love. His breast, full from nursing have gotten bigger, his nipples darkening.

Terry stands and Daniel steps back, a hand across his belly and Terry frowns. He knows the little omega’s hormones must be all over the place. Sam isn’t even 6 months yet and already bred again.

He stops, kneeling down to be more level with his skittish mate.

“This is what I had hoped for,” he assures, unashamed. “It is the best possible outcome, I promise you,” hoping to put the little omega at ease. “It will be the first of many as well.”

And it does, the little omega unwrapping the arm he has curled around himself, walking to the alpha into his open arms, sighing when they close around him, holding him tight.

“What will people say….” His voice is muffled, his face pressed against the broad chest.

“You shall wear my name and ring before the babe is born.”

Although he’s going to be really showing when they wed.

Terry stands, picking his little treasure off, and Daniel wraps his legs around the alpha’s waist as he’s carried through their house, to their bedroom to be ravished, coming alive under his alpha’s love.

Tag Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

FAVOURITE COLOUR(s): Dark, rich purples and reds. Greens: British racing, chartreuse. Bottle greens and browns. Black and white contrasts. Glasz eyes are the most beautiful on Earth. Love a check or tartan pattern. I paint all my miniatures in cold blue/bronze or warm purple/brass contrast unless physically prevented from doing so.

FAVOURITE FLAVOUR(s): Rock salt and woodsmoke and paprika in a thin batter. Rich thick curry sauce - warm and textured, not hot-like-burning. Whole milk and sour cream. Fresh carrots and tomatoes - just chomp those fuckers down. Sourdough and soft cheese. Tea with an undertone of citrus or an abundance of honey. Mulled apples. Dirty chai. And above all, peppermint.

FAVOURITE MUSIC: Tradgoth and post punk (basslines you can slink to), trip hop (take me somewhere far away), post rock soundscapes (the more elegiac the better), prog (but more the Pink Floyd pomp rock than wildly experimental stuff), anything Jim Jarmusch or Polly Jean Harvey ever touch, sad country and sleazy swamp rocks. Music for people who want to crawl into a swamp, cop off, and drown each other.

FAVOURITE MOVIE(s): Franklyn. Withnail & I. Only Lovers Left Alive. I detest busy plotting and spectacle and run on vibes. But also, because sometimes I'm From The Nineties And Also British, Guy Ritchie's entire oeuvre. Sin City has a nice vibe even though it's a nasty piece of work. Possession (1981) and Nosferatu (1979) - I'll watch Isabelle Adjani in anything. Or Eva Green. Give me pale, deathless, insane women.

FAVOURITE BOOK(s): UGH! Anything by Terry Pratchett. S T Gibson's vampire stories. Anything by Susanna Clarke. Earthsea. The first four books of Anno Dracula. Anything by Laura Shepherd-Robinson. Alis Hawkins' Oxford novels. Seth Dickenson's Masquerade and Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb. The Wolf Hall trilogy. Sherlock Holmes and weird post-Holmes stuff from Obverse. T. S. Eliot, William Blake, Edgar Allen Poe, Sylvia Plath, and a raft of contemporary Welsh poets - Cath Drake, Katherine Stansfield, Christopher Meredith. If I had a guilty pleasure, Black Library novels (John French, Matt Farrer and Aaron Dembksi-Bowden) would be it.

FAVOURITE SERIES(es): Doctor Who, Lock, Stock..., The Biederbeck Trilogy, What We Do In The Shadows, LA By Night, The Thick of It and... Taskmaster. Taskmaster is my religion. I like seeing the Bit all comics do get tested to destruction. And podcasts: Poorhammer, the 40K Badcast. I get my hobby chat fix from those.

LAST SONG: :Of The Wand And The Moon:, 'Hold My Hand'

LAST SERIES: The Thick of It (rewatch).

LAST MOVIE: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (comfort rewatch, I've been poorly)

CURRENTLY READING: Viriconium by M. John Harrison.

CURRENTLY WATCHING: nothing

CURRENTLY WORKING ON: ideating a festive V5 one-off and new chronicles for next year, but otherwise taking it easy (I've been really poorly)

Summary:

"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.

"Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."

Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.

"He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.

Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."
