WHO DUNNIT MBS CHALLENGE: Cat fic

The cat sat on a mat. Well, it was more of a carpet really, and she wasn’t the only one sitting on it either. There were two children on either side of her, and two standing at the whiteboard they had set up. On it there was a list written.

POTENTIAL CAT NAMES:

1. Félicette

2. Princess Regina Isabella of the Space Machines (Prism for short)

3. Pat the Cat

4. Teddy (NO!)

The small girl in a red raincoat, who had crossed out the name “Teddy” and written NO! next to it, capped the marker with a satisfied expression. The sweater-vested boy standing next to her, however, frowned.

”What’s so wrong with the name Teddy?” he asked.

”It’s a stupid name for a cat,” the girl replied. The cat, still unnamed, flicked her tail indignantly. Only the girl seemed to notice, and she nodded her head affirmatively.

The boy looked to his friends for support. The one with a blonde ponytail shrugged.

”I still think we should go with my idea. It’s the only one suited to her regalness.”

The cat liked the ponytail one. It was her farmhouse that she had wandered into in the first place, and since her arrival she’d been fed, watered, and given frequent affection. She was also given frequent nicknames, though they changed too often for her to remember any.

“But what space machines is she the princess of anyway?” asked the bald boy with glasses.

The cat had figured he wouldn’t talk much when he first arrived earlier that morning, but was proven quite wrong when someone asked him about the first cat to go to space and he talked for three minutes uninterrupted. Perhaps it would have been fascinating if it had not horrified her so.

”I just think,” he continued “that if we want to go with a space theme that Félicette is a pretty good name.”

”She died, Sticky!” Ponytail exclaimed. “We cannot name our cat after a cat who died!”

”Our cat?” Sweater-vest said, interrupting the other boy–Sticky–before he could defend himself. “Kate, what do you mean our cat?”

Everyone turned to look at Kate, including the cat herself. Kate reddened, rocking back and forth with embarrassment.

”Well, I was thinking we could share her. Sort of like a…like a…”

”Class pet?” Sticky offered.

Kate snapped her fingers and grinned. “Like a class pet, exactly! Well, I’ve never had one of those so I don’t know exactly how it would work, but we could all take turns taking care of her.” She reached over to give the still-unnamed cat some head scratches. The cat purred appreciatively.

”I mean, no one here’s allergic to cats right?”

”Well,” the raincoat girl said after a brief pause, “Dad always gets really teary whenever he sees a cat, even if they’re just in the window, but I don’t think that’s allergies, I think that’s just him.”

The others nodded in agreement.

”I would have to ask my parents,” Sticky said tentatively, reaching out to pet the cat as well, “but I’m pretty sure they’ll say yes. We’d have to find some cheap yet good cat food though.”

”Amma has been talking about getting a cat for a while,” Sweater-vest said, sitting on the floor next to Sticky so that the four of formed a circle around the cat (who still did not have a name, despite that being the purpose of the meeting.) “I’m sure she’d love to meet…”

The boy trailed off, and the friends all looked at each other as they realized they had still not reached a consensus on their new cat’s name.

Kate and Sweater-vest (whom the cat had learned a while ago was named Reynie, she just enjoyed her own nickname better) sprang up at the same time, but Kate reached the board first.

”All those in favor of the name Princess Regina Isabella of the Space Machines, or Prism for short, speak now or forever hold your peace!”

The cat meowed. After a moments hesitation, Kate added two tally marks next to the name.

”Well, looks like we have a winner!”

“Oh come on, that’s not fair!”

“Reynie Muldoon, I say this with all the love in my heart, but no one is voting for the name Teddy.”

“Sticky?”

Sticky made some vague shrugging motions with an apologetic expression. Reynie sighed.

”Fine. But in that case I’m voting for Pat the Cat,” Reynie said, setting down his marker.

”You’re WHAT?!” Kate cried out, as if Reynie had just stepped on her tail, or whatever it is that upsets people so deeply.

Still without a name, the cat continued to watch from the carpet. As the older three argued, the small girl in the raincoat lied down on her stomach in front of her. She stared so intensely that it was almost off putting to the cat. After a solid ten seconds, the girl relented, patting the cat on the head.

”I guess it only works with people,” she muttered. The cat made a noise of curiosity, but got no answers. Communication was so difficult sometimes.

”AH-HA!” Kate said, getting the attention of both the girl and the cat. “Constance, cat, we have come to a decision. Once again, if there are any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace. Now, drumroll please…”

The moment the drumroll started, a mouse scampered under the whiteboard. In an instant the cat was upon it, knocking over the whiteboard and the Society’s (allegedly) carefully crafted naming system in the process. Kate dived to save it, and Reynie tried to grab it before it fell, but they were both too late.

The mouse had gotten into a hole in the wall before the cat could catch him. It was disappointing. She turned around the face the room, preparing to hear her new name. Instead, however, she was greeted by the sight of the four children all staring at her. After a beat, Sticky turned to Kate.

”I think maybe she should stay with you for a couple more weeks.”

[sodamors]

here’s an introductory post. I’ll edit it once in a while.

hello everyone, I’m sodamors. I like thinking/writing/drawing about tons of AUs for little blorbos. I like pet au and mermaid au the most. I’m usually on mobile, so mb if my formatting is a little wonky.

my art watermarks have ‘zenderstorm’ because it’s my art account on twt and ig. soda is for fics & writing.

stuff

• my favourite fics are pet au, hurt no comfort, angst, so I’ll probably write about these

• currently hyperfixating the most on the hantengu clones

• I dont like adding ocs to a story, so a lot of non characters will remain unnamed

• idk about requests, we’ll see

• most of my works may be offensive/harmful to you. they contain dead dove do not eat materials, so if you don’t read those, feel free to stop. if you wanna read why i write this stuff, you can read what’s up here. (i’ll add the link soon.)

works list

- hantengu clones no au -

‘bird boyfriend’ - urogi [fluff headcanons]

- hantengu clones pet au -

overall hcs, background [dead dove do not eat]

‘to be demon’ - karaku and aizetsu [dead dove do not eat]

‘consequences’ - sekido [dead dove do not eat]

😬 or 💖 for the thing you just shared?

Hi Bardic!

(Emoji asks)

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?

None of them would be terrible, lol, but i don't tell IRL people my ao3 username, even friends. Probably one of the angstier ones, like Kill them. or the malware trilogy? For some reason I am often embarrassed at the thought of other people reading my more dark/angsty writing. I think I come across as pretty cheerful and sunny to people, so it feels like it would change how they think of me.

💖 What made you start writing?

Murderbot fanfic? I had an idea (targetcontrolsys WIP, which is long abandoned, alas) that I literally could not stop thinking about. It was a what-if scenario (what if that moment in NE when targetcontrolsys almost takes over MB's brain had gone differently), and it gave me emotions, and I kept playing through it in my brain until I had to write it down.

As for writing in general, it's pretty much always been moments like that--stories I can't let go of until I get them on paper. I don't know what was the very first, but the first big one was my novel wip that shall remain unnamed, which is currently trunked but which I worked on for a solid five years. I still go back and reread my favorite bits occasionally.

OKOKOKOKOK HKJKLSF:JKSL:KJLDK

so like

actually. it mjay involve more than one of ur ocs but

like

basically mc (unnamed since i can't think of one rn) and red (magic hunter dude) are a duo of magic hunters. mc is kinda sorta badass, but also a complete sweetie and doesn't wanna hurt anyone whatsoever. red has told mc that magic only hurts people and no monsters involved are good. or worth saving. and since mc wants to help everyone they are just like 'ok bet' and now they work with red to find and eliminate magical threats.

in this fic basically all of your magic ocs are like... big in-charge people hlkjadfsklj-- they rarely are found speaking with mortals.

and then, ofc, one day, demon killer (YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING> YOU KNEW. /lh) shows up in the mortal realm for some ~fUn~ whatever that entails. he runs into mc (while he's in disguise, obv) and immideately starts flirting. mc is like 'mmmmmno' for a little bit, but he's insistent, so eventually mc relents and asks him about....

books. yes, books.

killer is caught off guard initially, but eventually just says 'yeah. yeah, i like books!' and bs-s his way through an entire conversation abt books. (mb nightmare forced him to read a book and mc brings up that particular book in a stroke of luck and killer gets to talk abt it, idk haha)

and then they go get coffee! it's not a date, tho. or is it?? neither of them got time to figure out if it was because bABAM. red crashes the lil meeting. he's like 'mc, are you ok???' and panicking about it (but in a not panicky way because yknow. he's red.) and mc just goes 'yes?? wtf is wrong???'

'there's a demon nearby.'

and then killer just like.. slowly raises his hand with a smug grin and switches into his ~*demon form*~. mc's eyes go wide, and before they have time to react, BAM. red knocks killer out.

long story short, after a lot of negotiating arguments, red allows mc to keep killer in the library (should i mention? red and mc live in an abandoned mansion in the woods. they fixed it up toghether. they're only really living together because neither of them are in a ood financial position atm. are there feelings there?? maybe.... >:3c)

so yeah. now mc takes care of killer, which inevitably leads to a lottt of pining. and thennnn.......

they run away together.

killer takes mc to the magic realm (without mc's permission) to protect them. red is not thrilled.

and thennn.........

still plANNING

bu yeah! opinions? :D

LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME REALLY GOOD. PLEASE WRITE THIS IF YOU WONT I WILL BECAUSE ACTUALLY I LOVE THIS IDEA

ok two things tho (they're just minor things nothing too huge!!)

killer probably wouldn't just switch into that form out if public, maybe they go outside or something for that idk behind the shop or something like that. also if red is saying this in a threatening tone (which i think would be how he's talking n shit) (also he can't tell specifically what it is, just something supernatural) killer probably will take just mc cause. i mean. he's basically being threatened.

also red would be like. super opposed to keeping anything supernatural alive because. y'know. trauma. so it might take a lil bit for him to say yes (lots of bribery probably and a lot of convincing)

anyways i love this idea so much i would be so excited if you wrote this (i have so much lore for that au that i never dropped godddddddd)

kate @ mr benedict:

[qwanderer]

Reading just a metric fuckton of Murderbot fic and trying not to be too hard on myself for not working on my WIP. Have to remind myself that the story machine that is my brain needs to get fed stories to make stories.

I'm also toying with the idea of writing a Murderbot fic but that's okay because this process also feels like trying to teach myself how to write stories differently. I'm like. Playing with elements and trying to figure out the best way to come up with an idea that will actually work. I don't have trouble coming up with ideas for stories, I have tons of ideas for stories, but the best way to write an actually good story for me is usually to get a nice fresh idea of a particular kind and really. Dig in. While it's still simple and fresh and before I have the chance to make too many plans about it. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get that particular kind of idea and what makes it that particular kind of idea.

Anyway here's what I've been tumbling around in my head:

Murderbot characters I'm most interested in writing about include Murderbot (of course), ART, 3, Pin-Lee, Gurathin, and an autistic OC from Preservation with mental augments. Possible plot threads I'm considering are 3 forming social connections with augmented humans including Gurathin and the unnamed OC, Gurathin also being autistic and how much he and Murderbot disliking each other is based on their similarities, Gurathin's augments being proprietary CR tech and how that fits into their relationship, the OC getting injured and needing help coping while she's awaiting treatment and while being treated and the constructs being better suited to providing that help than a human would be.

It's an interesting mess of elements but I still haven't found my hook into it yet.

I feel like I'm reading a lot more fic than I did last time I went in the tags, but apparently I have ten bookmarks from then (2019) and only sixteen new ones so far. For those curious, my MB bookmarks are here!

Which of the OCs are fake/real tree girls? What are their Christmas aesthetics?

Tia could never have a real tree. The thought of needles everywhere makes her skin itch.

She definitely goes all out for Christmas, every holiday/ season really. Auston tells her she should launch home decor line because she has “such strong opinions” about it, but she is too busy.

For Christmas they hire someone to do the exterior, hanging lights it’s not something Auston wants to do. Inside, Tia has decorations for every room. Pictures that go up for the season, specific blankets, pillows, pyjamas. Normal decor items get packed up to make room for the Christmas decorations.

Every December 4, Tia has Auston driving to their storage locker (because they couldn’t fit it all at the house) to get tote after tote. She does prefer a clean look, white, greys with red and gold mixed in. She isn’t a fan of too much sparkle, and even though she buys stuff every year she stays away from trends so it can be used year after year.

Auston hates the decor in the bedroom (to be fair he hates the 700 pillows and throw blankets she has on year round). The entire house looks like it’s from a magazine, special towels in the bathroom he can’t use etc. The only thing that is not “clean” is the tree. It is littered with homemade decorations, crafts from the kids. She buys tinsel and lets them toss it on in clumps and candy canes hang everywhere, instead of plain warm lights there are coloured ones that change patterns and flicker. Every year there are more ornaments on it and she absolutely loves it.

The kids can decorate their own rooms however they want. Quinn always wants to decorate November 1st and to have a tree in her room. While Auston and Tia don’t decorate the rest of the house until after Benjamin and Taylours birthdays, they do let her decorate her room early.

All the kids have trees in their rooms. And this is the general vibe for what Taylours room looked like this year, except he has a giant fluffy tree covered in Toronto maple leaf and SpongeBob ornaments and a giant Santa shaped pillow.

Hadley has a mixture around the house. She likes to keep it warm, and in the front room that the neighbours can see she has a large fake tree that looks like something out of a magazine. But in the back, off the kitchen is the living room where they spend their time, and that’s where the real tree goes.

As you move around the house you start to really notice Hadleys taste mixed in. That while the decor appears to be a lot of white and cream, there are pops of black, or items that some people wouldn’t consider to be “festive.” It’s not an overwhelming amount, just a little over subtle, but the perfect blend. These are the types of ornaments on the real tree up in the living room, and an idea of the different kinds of stuff you’ll see on tables, shelves etc

Nicole has very mixed feelings of the holidays, and it’s not always enjoyable as painful memories come up. She has a few decorations she’s bought over the years, a fake tree, wreath garland and some other bits and pieces, but the decor is isolated to one area. Many parts of the house are not decorated, some years the decorations are up early November other years it’s Dec 20 and they still aren’t up. She tends to be simple and doesn’t have a theme to her items. If she saw it, liked it, and was in a festive mood, she bought it and found a home for it.

42 for all the universe couples

42. What’s their relationship like with each other’s friends/families?

Too Far Gone

Tia and the Matthews' now get along great. His sisters were thrilled to find out they were dating and they had multiple girls nights that summer. Alex has flown to Montreal or NY to meet up with Tia when she is travelling and get a little girls trip in. Her relationship with his parents is now good, they definitely had hot/cold moments (all because of Tia and her issues) but Ema learned to give her some space and not push too hard and Tia would get through it.

Auston has accepted what Paul did, he has forgiven him, but he isn't his favourite person. Paul visits sometimes (and he is going to Sweden to see them) but if Auston didn't see Paul he wouldn't care. When around Paul he is friendly and doesn't make any sort of rude remarks, but they are by no means best friends. Ema has flown to Toronto a few days before a road trip ended and spent time with Tia and the grandkids, Paul wouldn't consider being in Toronto or Arizona if Tia wasn't there.

No Strings

Nicole doesn't have a large family, but her relationship with the few family members she does have is complicated and as a result Fred's relationship with them is too. She rarely returns home to visit, and her family doesn't have a lot of money so they don't visit. The family she does have, has made comments about Fred's money, and once they found out what he does/how much he makes a bunch started reaching out which only lead to Nicole pulling away even more.

Fred's family loves her and she loves them!

The still unnamed Michael Bunting Fic

Mike's family loved Hadley. His mom thought they would be good together back in high school but she never said anything and didn't understand why they stopped being friends for a few years. She was thrilled when Mike brought her home as his girlfriend.

Hadley's dad has some concerns, mainly because of what happened during high school and the type of person Mike is/was. Mike always liked her stepmom when they were growing up, but once they started hanging out as adults and he saw the type of person she really is, he has issues. He isn't mean or rude to her he is just guarded. Her stepsister and him get along well enough now, but Marci tried to get between them and did some stuff before they started dating and Mike remains cautious of her for a bit.

Send me a number and I’ll answer this about any of my couples!

[leafs-lover]

any preview of your michael bunting fic?

Sure, note that it is still very rough at this point!

“Everyone has to get a heifer every now and then. Keeps you humble” Collin adds in, the playfulness in his words causing the room to erupt with a chorus of laughter.

“A pity fuck?” Brett giggles over his beer.

A ring begins to flood her ears and all the blood drains from her body. She wondered why Mike invited her tonight, he could have invited any girl from the senior class, and they would have agreed solely for a shot at a future NHLer. He could have picked a girl who didn’t have to get their dress in a plus sized store because traditional dress sizes didn’t fit, a girl who didn’t have to spend five hours in the stylist’s chair trying to tame the mess on her head, a girl who would have looked good on his arm, like she belonged. Instead, he brought her solely to make fun of her, because the teasing in the halls wasn’t enough? Shame on her for thinking Mike was her friend.

Swatting at the tears that spill down her cheeks, Hadley’s heels click, and she walks down the hall. The heavy front door slams behind her but nobody notices over the music and conversation. Nobody notices her.

[leafs-lover]

This non-leafs fan is starting to become a bunting fan so I'm very excited for your bunting fic!!

On top of having a genuinely beautiful smile, he has a cute puppy and wears fun socks to games! How could you not like him?

[leafs-lover]

what should we expect from the freddie and bunting fics?

For the Freddie fic:

For the Bunting fic

but, also this🙈

[leafs-lover]

Another snowy day, anyone want to chat?

[leafs-lover]

does bunting go to the canes change your planned story for him at all?

No because my fic was set to take place during the 2022-2023 season and it would have been wrapped up at this point (excluding the epilogue).

The only thing I’m trying to decide is if Bunting will go there in the epilogue or stay in Toronto forever. Originally I planned for him to stay in Toronto regardless of what happed I’m free agency, but now I think I might send him to Carolina and hang with Freddie.

[leafs-lover]

Which guys in the universe have to be dragged to those movies and which are low-key excited?

Auston knows that Tia wants to see all those types of movies and used to mentally prepare himself for it. Sometimes she’d go with Becks and Emily or Sarah and Charlie, but sometimes Auston will be the one to go with her, it kind of depends on the release date and if they are in AZ or Toronto for it. For The Little Mermaid, Tia made Auston go (but not right away, they waited a few weeks after it was released because of crowds), and he knows he will be going to see Barbie with her. Some Taylour wants to see, and the three of them go together.

Some of them Auston enjoys more than others, but he wasn’t looking forward to the Little Mermaid until they got there. He saw a girl, about six there with her dad, she was singing and dancing in her seat and Auston immediately thought about Maddie and how that will be them in a few years and he got all emotional thinking about it. He no longer hates those movies because all he can think about is when he gets to take his little girl to them🥹

Nicole actually prefers old movies, the black and white type so she has no interest in seeing Disney movies. Because of that Fred doesn’t have to go see them not to say some of the younger guys on the team don’t watch them on road trips and he joins in movie nights but he doesn’t go with Nicole to them

Hadley loves them so Mike watches them with her, but when she brings it up he super excited is like “yeah let’s do it!” He’ll look to see if it’s playing at the drive-in because he prefers those to movie theatres (unless it’s winter obvi). They will be there opening night and are the first car there, waiting for the gates to open so they can get the best spot, and if they can’t see it at the drive-in he’ll pre-order them tickets weeks in advance. Regardless of where they watch it he’ll load them up with popcorn, candy, drinks and bring a million blankets and pillows. Even though it’s a perfect setting in the back of the car to ✨not✨ watch the movie, he’s so into it he doesn’t even consider anything else.
