if you’d like to be mutuals, feel free to msg me!! ^^

under the cut is a few more little “rules” for my blog!

{you don’t have to follow them to be here, but not doing so could possibly lead to me blocking you}

as i stated before, i don’t want ships mentioned on my blog besides cannon ones like tom and maddie. especially if its tails, charmy, cream, etc. in the ship.

though, there are a few cannon ships i don’t want mentioned either;

>tails x cosmo (nothing wrong with it, i just don’t really care for it. i really don’t like tails ships)

>tails x mina (that whole thing was,, eh. i hate it so much)

>tails x zooey (she looks like she could be his sister. she’s literally just a genderbend of tails without the second tail)

>sonic x amy (i know sonamy is SUPER one-sided, but i still want to mention it here because sonamy fans can be wild)

>sonic x sally (i don’t know much about satam cause i just kinda skimmed through it, but this relationship felt weird to me)

>sonic x elise (not a fan of the human x mobian thing,, and also the whole “kissing to save his life” deal was weird, i hate that trope)

and here are a few ships I REALLY don’t want to hear about, cannon or not;

>kit x tails (they’re both really not in good spots mentally to be in a relationship tbh. also, kit is 11 while tails is 8, which is only a 3 year gap but it’s still weird to me. like, kit would be 18 while tails is only 15 which is just uncomfortable. at 17 i wouldn’t date a 14yo, y’know?) {if you actually know me and we talk on a regular basis, i am okay with hearing abt this ship btw!! just,, not on tumblr please, and same goes for tails x cosmo}

>silver x sonic/shadow/espio/anyone from the current timeline (these ships have always been weid to me cause like,, silver is from the future?? everyone else is, like, dead or just really old in silver’s time while he’s 14. it’s just weird to me ahhhwoiefoeiw)

>sonic x blaze (sorryyy sonaze shippers, but i don’t really like the “dating someone who’s you from another dimension trope” or really just any sort of thing that’s slightly selfcest. {nothing wrong with it, it’s just really not for me} this kinda goes with kit x tails, since kit was made to be a better version of tails)

i know some of these aren’t technically cannon ships, but everything that’s considered cannon in sonic lore can just be so confusing, and i don’t care enough to go into detail about it so they’re mentioned here

but generally, just stay away from mentioning any ships on my blog. it’s the safer bet ^^

also, please don’t talk about sonic x on my blog. there’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but i just,, do not like it. i physically cannot bring myself to finish even the first season of it, so i’d rather just stay clear of it.

and please don’t try to move the topic of my blog from tails to another character. i’m more than happy to discuss tails WITH another character, but without him it’s just,, i will not enjoy that, and i won’t do that to myself. please stay tails-centric on this blog :]

and you ever want to discuss something that contains spoilers PLEASE mark it as spoilers or ask if i’ve seen what you’re wanting to talk abt before you start discussing it. i’d like to keep this blog as spoiler free as possible, for others and myself, so i want to mark everything that could be spoilers.

{and, this probably goes without saying, but if i tell you i haven’t seen the subject, please don’t talk about it with me. doing that will absolutely get you blocked. just be considerate :]}

i would also appreciate it if y’all don’t try to convince me to watch/read a certain piece of media, like sonic x for example. if i want to, i will look into it on my own time. but if i don’t want to, and people try to pressure me into it, i will just end up hating whatever it is you’re wanting me to see. {this does include trying to make me get into it any sooner than i plan to}

i am a human with my own schedule, interests, and dislikes. i will not have time to see every piece of media out there, nor will i like all of them. that’s just how it is, nobody can change that.

it is possible i’ll come back to edit/extend this later on, but for now that’s everything i want to mention.

thanks for reading!! <33

Do you have a top 5 dotc characters line-up? Just ones you like in general

"Top 5" is really more of a... "guys I hate the least" lineup. Characters whose treatment made me so angry it's become spite-love. It's bad in here. It's REALLY bad in here.

In no particular order, the characters I like in DOTC are,

Bumble Not JUST because of how dirty she was done, either. Bumble's amazing. She's confident, she's outgoing, she's funny! She's there for Turtle Tail when Gray Wing is treating her like shit, and friendly to every cat she meets, even when they're being dicks to her. She ALWAYS does the right thing in the end and has the best interests of her friends at heart. She's a GOOD PERSON! The ONE time she was ever ANGRY at anyone was when Turtle Tail just let her get dragged back to their wifebeater. She's only part of TWO books but she's the BEST character in the entire arc, hands down, above and beyond the rest of the cast. JUSTICE for Bumble!

Bright Stream She got fridged, killed in a shocking, gruesome way, with uncomfortable detail put on how the pregnant woman probably died slowly and was eaten alive, ripped to shreds by eagles... for Clear Sky's man pain. Clear Sky literally fucking broods in a moonbeam. All because Gray Wing tripped like an idiot in a horror movie. And it was a WASTE. Bright Stream IS INTERESTING ALL ON HER OWN. Gray Wing was downplaying Clear Sky emotionally pressuring her into leaving, dismissing him going "I HOPE YOUR HUNTING SUCKS SO YOU REALIZE YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME" with a 'good humored flick of his tail,' thirsting over how attractive Bright Stream is and how lucky Clear Sky is to have her as a mate while Bright Stream is obviously feeling upset about how her shitty husband has been talking to her. And it's actually insulting how the writers never acknowledged this-- that Clear Sky has ALWAYS been manipulative. From BOOK ONE. And then she has these absolutely bizarre Angel Fetus Children that Gray Wing coos about on his death bed, because god for-fucking-bid a single scene go by that doesn't become Clear Sky-centric.

Snake This arc tries SO bad to make this fucking guy a villain. SO hard. They describe his stinky breath and his bad teeth and how icky and gross he is, and they make him kill Frost during Clear Sky's Murder Party as if I'm supposed to blame HIM instead of the ESTABLISHED MURDERER WHO ORDERED HIS MEN TO KILL EVERYONE. Then, they choose HIM to stand up against Clear Sky after he let a murderous evil tyrant into his group against all warnings. And they treat that like it's a bad thing. Like SNAKE is the one who's awful for TELLING CLEAR SKY TO SHOVE HIS HALFHEARTED APOLOGY UP HIS UGLY ASS They even make him follow One Eye's evil lackey in the next book, like they're trying to slander him in hindsight. "Oh nonono, ackshually, Snake wasn't principled at all. He wasn't making a point about how Clear Sky let One Eye into his group and that he's sick of following tyrants. DONT WORRY. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE CLEAR SKY ARE EVIL :)" FUCK you. I'm going to stan Snake OUT OF SPITE.

Tall Shadow While I still can't stand what they did with her and Bumble... she's an interesting character and done SO DIRTY because the writers don't fucking respect women at all They chose to have her go through a "self-confidence arc" because everyone nonsensically HATES her and just wants Gray Wing to lead, where she has to choose taking care of her burn-victim brother over leading because her "emotions" are getting in the way, only to clear up once her family is fucking dead because the books KEEP INSISTING that women in particular can't be leaders if they have an important emotional connection. And THEN they have Shaded-fucking-Moss, her predecessor, descend from heaven after Clear Sky's Murder Party to tut-tut at her for killing someone after she was THROWN INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE TRYING TO MURDER HER, because I'm DEAD serious, god forbid women do anything. Clear Sky's got a direct body count of 3 at this point, PLUS the indirect body count of a dozen people killed on his orders, but ACTUALLY Tall Shadow is the one who deserves the fucking scolding. INSANE. And YET. She remains a practical person. She's diplomatic when she can be, and harsh when she cannot. Against all common sense, she LISTENS to Gray Wing's AWFUL advice to do Just One More peaceful meeting where maybe THIS time sucking Clear Sky's toes will work, because she is fair. I cannot help but love her.

Milkweed I haven't gotten to her in my read-along yet but she's done so dirty, too. It makes me sick. She's revealed to be a friend of Misty and distrusts the Mountain Cats for, you know... stealing all the native cats' land and murdering her friend? But don't worry, Gray Wing's here to do Clear Sky Apologetics and convince her to go join his group. While there she gets verbally accosted by Leaf, a recurring background asshole, who says she's useless, her stupid babies are stealing his food, and that when she gets sick she's just keeping the whole camp awake with her coughing. So anyway, because the Erins LOVE domestic abuse, they get shipped together lmaoo. Normal book series.

Bumble, Bright Stream, Snake, Tall Shadow, Milkweed. I also have feelings about Wind Runner though, and what they did with her. But GOD, explaining my complicated thoughts on Wind Runner would take a long time. She is both a favorite and also a symbol of several huge problems in WC.

My current kdrama watch is the acclaimed historical Mr Sunshine and 8 episodes in, I'm LOVING it. This show is nearly precisely my jam. Here are some of the things I've been loving so far:

The scriptwriter is a woman and IT SHOWS. It's not that the men in this drama don't get up to the usual Asian Drama Patriarchal Nonsense. And it's not that the heroine tries to challenge the usual ADPN - she's just too smart, active, and driven for it to affect her much. In ep8 her grandfather and mentor conspire to keep her from running a dangerous mission and she just eavesdrops on them and informs them that she will in fact be running the dangerous mission anyway and there's nothing they can do about it. It's not that they aren't TRYING to infantilise her - she's just too much of an adult for them to be very good at it, which is refreshing.

The main pairing is leaving me more or less unmoved but this angst-ridden antiheroic crush from the angry little gangster man she scorns as a traitor??? The game of cat and also cat they have going on? The sheer levels of unrequited yearning and the ruthless way she's using it against him? …oh duh. It's yet another version of my favourite ETL flavour: Sad Wet Pathetic Man Hounded To His Death By Righteous Lady Warrior

For years - years - I have bewailed the way in which American writers of historical fiction always find a way to shove American characters into other people's stories. Mr Sunshine somehow does this trope in a way that I utterly love because it does the trope in a way that is not American-centric. The American being inserted into the story of 1890s Joseon is a Korean-American. The story is firmly centred on the Korean experience, whether as immigrants to America or as a subject of colonisation by other great powers. It depicts the US with a nuanced appreciation of that nation's democratic ideals contrasted with a realistic and jaded view of that same nation's inability to live up to those same ideals. YES this is what I've always wanted to see!

Related, I'm really appreciating the nuanced take on Korea and Japan - I absolutely loved Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 last year but it definitely didn't have any good Japanese in it. Mr Sunshine isn't particularly happy about Japan either, but it's far more empathetic towards those Koreans who found themselves collaborating with, living in, or taking on the identity of Japan for whatever reason. And by the same token, it was honestly a bit shocking to see this story open by shining a VERY uncompromising light on the plight of slaves in Joseon Korea - the show continually insists that slaves and women in Joseon are treated as badly as the hovering colonial powers would treat the Joseon nobility, and shows how disadvantaged people might end up on either side of the struggle for independence as response to the same kind of injustice bred in Korea itself. It's a beautifully complex and nuanced take.

Also HECK it's just so incredibly pretty to look at.

fic rec list: 15 het Remus rare ships

aka not remadora, not gay remus, but a secret third (fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh) option

okay so i totally played myself here: this started out as a cracky spite reclist, but i should have known better… i may now have fifteen new ships.

seriously, they’re legitimately good. SO many good reads.

the list: remus/hermione, remus/lily, remus/minerva, remus/trelawney, remus/poppy, remus/petunia, remus/narcissa, remus/bellatrix, remus/fleur, remus/pansy, remus/cho, remus/luna, remus/ginny, remus/lavender, remus/andromeda.

bonus: several remus HP poly ships, and several excellent buffy the vampire slayer crossovers: remus/jenny calendar and remus/faith lehane.

---

1. remus/hermione

look. i don’t just have a fic rec for this. i have a rec for a ship manifesto (original link | wayback machine) and rec list (LJ comm het-reccers | wayback machine)

Because of the slim canon interaction and the many obstacles to writing the pairing, it’s often done badly. But I think when it’s done well, it’s done very well; a writer who can keep the two characters true to the Remus and Hermione that we know and still write a convincing relationship between them tends to be a good writer. Consequently, there are some real gems among the fandom. In conclusion, yes, this is difficult to write and indeed to get your head around. But done well, it can be challenging, thought-provoking, fluffy, angsty, dark and hot. Often all at the same time. And in a fandom that ships cephalopods, this can only be a good thing.

first entry on that reclist is a ~10k E-rated fic titled after a shakespeare sonnet, and the rec begins:

This is by far my favorite fic in any fandom or ship. It's a beautiful story that depicts how these two characters slowly weave into each other.

the second entry has implied past wolfstar, and there’s fic by both setissma and musesfool on the list.

2. remus/lily

holy fuck this ship blindsided me with the angst and tragedy!! mwpp era writers, why are you Like This.

The Day After by violet_quill (1k, E). canon compliant, november the first, 1981, adultery. the repeating motif of street trash hurts me.

He doesn't think about how he doesn't like coffins anymore than he likes bars; he doesn't wonder who has the worse fate. He tries not to remember that he will be the only one left to put flowers on the graves. He doesn't think about James either.

bonus shoutouts to:

No Harm, But No Certain Good by victoria_p (musesfool) (1k, M), hogwarts era secret relationship, uhea as fuck

The Bowl Of Lilacs by copperbadge (12k, M), first war to eventual remus raises harry au, more plotty/remus-centric than shippy, but the remus/lily is both on page and significant

3. remus/minerva mcgonagall

two excellent poa fics:

The Ten Month Career of Professor R. J. Lupin by pauraque (3k, T):

He raised his hand to knock, but stopped halfway, caught in the shadow of decision. All during the long, hazy summer he'd thought of this, of what he should say, of how he should act.

god, i love this remus. the reminerva and sevinerva (yes, i did just invent these) love triangle is so beautifully woven!

A Year In The Life by copperbadge (41k, T): what a love affair! loved exploring a faculty romance through the eyes of these two, and the ending was so painfully drawn out! the Rent lyrics!!!

4. remus/sybil trelawney

two more POA with perfectly characterized dramatic trelawney, who Sees and is completely, hilariously wrong with her interpretation -- i adore this trope sm.

The Baby in the Pumpkin Patch & Other Stories by @evesaintyves: Chapter 3: The Seer, the Bell Jar, and the Packet of Crisps (~2k, G)

Black With a Tail by @paulamcg (500, G)

5. remus/poppy pomfrey

Take Care of Yourself by @patriceavril (8k, M), a lost years/pre-POA remus/poppy. so soft and tender, the little peter HC and the briefcase HC :') never gets old!

6. remus/petunia

A Different Fate by lordhellebore (6.5k, T): remus and petunia raise dudley and a disabled harry au, in 65 x 100-word drabbles. fluffy, angsty, a surprisingly wholesome take on this pairing!

7. remus/narcissa

Disparities by @puuvillaa (2.5k, M). first war fic, yummy hatesex, who is using who?

Fallen Stars by @siriusly-sapphic (4k, T): hogwarts-era alternative sorting slytherin remus au is such a good setup for this pairing!

8. remus/bellatrix

lots of intriguing takes on this pairing!

Bellatricked by Ellen Smithee (ellensmithee) (800, E): dark remus lupin, er, snuff.

What the Moon Revealed by Maria_de_Salinas (2k, E): can’t go wrong with a good first war hatesex!

Before the Veil by Donna_Immaculata (4k, E): more snuff fic hahaha. implied wolfstar, established snupin

worth mentioning that this pairing is not ALL snuff fic -- there’s a surprising amount of soft!bellatrix -- but tbh i liked these better.

9. remus/fleur

before marrying bill, fleur wants to make sure she is… Riding The Real Thing by snapealina (2k, E).

there’s also an interesting muggle art camp counselor/camper au (5k, M)!

10. remus/pansy

Pruddy's Inn by littlealex (2k, E): post-canon au, ahhh gorgeous '00s era fic.

Pansy's legs disentangle themselves from around Remus' shoulder and arm, and Remus collapses on top of her, unable to support his own weight. She sighs contentedly and threads her fingers through his hair, her eyes still shut firmly against reality. What good is reality, she muses, if I can just pretend to get what I want?

11. remus/cho

The Heart by bloodsugarlove (7k, T). teacher/student told from teacher pov is always fascinating and the prose in this one is unique and lovely! note: doesn’t warrant the underage warning, no whiff of underage sex anywhere.

It's something of a scandal that Cho is seeker for Ravenclaw; many girls appear threatened by this, though they can't deny that is is rather decent at the position. Boys think it is fascinating, and Chang herself is arrogant in the most charming way. Not that Mr. Lupin really thinks so, mind you; it's a collective opinion, and anyway he has had quite his fill of arrogance. He has had quite his fill of a lot of things. He would really rather think of something else.

12. remus/luna

Stubby Boardman and the Cacao Bean by kestrelsan (2k, G), a remix fic!!! loved the original drabble and it was so cool to see it expanded into this oneshot.

honestly this is a real quality ship! in addition to all the delicious smutty kink fic that’s all over the ship tag, there’s also:

this postwar perfection -- he was learning what was real: like Heliopaths and Snorcacks and love! -- Bearing Fruit by @paulamcg (2k, M),

this creaturehunting mission fic, with multiple pieces of fanart, created for @hpdrizzle fest 2017: The Naturists by hikorichan (9k, T)

and this lovely post-canon get-together -- Anytime by @nanneramma (1k, T) -- the seasonal pacing works so well for this nature-connected pairing!

13. remus/ginny

The Meaning of Restraint by Darsynia (4k, M): caught in a club and i’m not even underage! stellar vibes and dynamic here.

open my heart (let it bleed onto yours) by @lunapwrites (~20k (wip), E) -- a fascinatingly, wonderfully explored postwar marriage law au!

14. remus/lavender

Big Teeth/Little Red by PacificRimbaud (5k, M): oh my god this was utterly delightful. it’s a library meet-cute and a halloween party and the age differences, hahaha. a ton of age gap pairings here -- harry/pansy is the only one that is not, iirc.

While he tugs at the cap, he wonders at the audacity of living one’s life as Sirius Black. What must it be like: to understand the line between being a man who has bad ideas, and being a bad man? To gleefully ride along the edge of it, to toss away all but your own discernment, to simply do what you would like to do so long as no one’s being harmed, to not worry about what your desires say about you, to call your godson’s half-dressed former girlfriend a bad idea to her waggishly smiling face at your kitchen table and to let yourself bask in the fallout, sated like a wolf that's helped itself to a lamb. A— …big bad wolf…

15. remus/andromeda

Shelter at Your Door by starfishstar (13k, T): an andromeda doesn’t elope, marries and later leaves lucius au. the r/a relationship in this au is so well-written, their compatibility is so lovely, and although tonks is never born in this au, the r/t echoes are deliciously haunting!

"So," she said softly, pressing down against him, and Remus, following instinct at last, arched to meet her. "Are we doing this?" "Yes," Remus agreed, a whisper in her ear. "We're doing this." Careful not to sound judgemental about it, Andromeda asked, "Have you done this before?" With Remus and his insistence that everything about himself was dangerous and not to be allowed, it was difficult to know. He gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Yeah. Couple of times." "Oh?" she teased, still gentle. "What happened to being too dangerous for anything beyond friendship?" Remus' mouth made a wry twist. "It found itself on a collision course with being nineteen years old and horny, that's what happened to it."

---

a bonus: if anyone's taking notes, i couldn’t find fic for:

remus/olympe maxime,

remus/myrtle warren,

remus/the grey lady

remus/parvati or remus/padma patil,

remus/rita skeeter in english,

remus/angelina aside from the remus x gryffindor chaser sandwich,

remus/millicent bulstrode that was not a crossover,

remus/rose weasley or remus/victoire (there's a bunch of remus/lily luna all written by one author)

not to mention literally any creaturefic at all -- remus/basilisk? remus/nagini? remus/mrs norris? remus/hedwig? y’all, i’m disappointed. there was one remus/crookshanks [chapter 21].

---

bonus recs:

remus/hermione/ginny/luna, a nice lovely fluffy fun (E-rated) romp

remus/pomona/hagrid: "You see, I was thinking if you fucked this plant in werewolf form, we could get a beautiful crossbreed for dear Ru's birthday next month."

bonus bonus recs:

+1. remus/jenny calendar from buffy the vampire slayer

Weighed Down With Good Intentions by Thistlerose (8k, M):

"And your friends? Come on, Remus. You had to have had some. Outgoing, personable guy like you." Her tone was light, the kiss she pressed against the corner of his mouth playful. "They're dead too," he said, his smile fading. "All of them. There were never many," he added when she looked at him, her eyebrows raised. "Three. Four. One turned out not to be a friend after all." "And he – or she – " "He." "Is he dead too?" "Prison," Remus said. He closed his eyes and saw Sirius's face instead of Jenny's. Rough black hair, storm-colored eyes, lightning smile. Grease under fingernails. How many different kinds of lightning had he discovered that summer?

jfc this is GENIUS. the references to both BTVS and HP, the intertwining of both stories — it’s canon compliant to both, afaik, except for the bit where remus survives the second war to have that very last conversation — and holy shit that very last cameo!!!

+2. remus/faith lehane from btvs/ats

The Intent To Be Lost by voleuse (1.5k, T), post-Chosen, an encounter with a stranger.

"You could meet me again." She raises her eyebrows, leers a little. He rises from the floor, his body casting a lean shadow on the carpet. "Perhaps," he murmurs, idly running his fingers around his wrist. Faith shrugs again, but pauses before she exits. "You should," she hesitates. "You should be careful out there. At night." He's strong, but she's not sure if he's that strong, and he's starting to look a little pale. "It can get rough after dark." "Indeed," Remus says, but he smiles almost politely. "See you," Faith replies, and she tries to shut the door quietly behind her.

impeccable characterization sells a good crossover every damn time.

Porcelain (Ayato x Childe x Zhongli x Thoma One Shot) ✦ 2k, smut only

Thoma & Ayato and Childe & Zhongli have a fun couple's night. Childe and Thoma are bottoms, everything is consensual and agreed upon beforehand. There's some slight CNC towards the end so please refrain from reading if that's triggering to you. A little childe-centric but everyone gets decent screentime I swear.

Top Zhongli and Kamisato Ayato x Bottom Childe and Thoma

content warnings: overstimulation, unprotected anal sex, anal fingering, ejaculation, consensual gay sex, blowjobs, handjobs, slight praise and degradation, CNC, erotic asphyxiation, use of collars and leashes, choking and gagging, rimming, blacking out

writer's note: explicit +18 content, please view at your own risk. thank you, have fun !

"You want to touch him, no?" Zhongli purred in the harbinger's ear, hands roaming around his chest, teasing his nipples. He was fully naked on Zhongli's lap, facing Thoma who was seated on Ayato's. "May I?" Childe looked at Ayato, asking for permission as the man was fondling his housekeeper's thighs roughly. "Of course, dear." Childe shifted forward, reaching to touch Thoma's reddened skin. His hand trailed from the housekeeper's neck to his narrow, delicate shoulders. Thoma's breathing got heavier, face turning red from arousal and embarrassment that he was getting so worked up in front of everyone. He reached to take Childe's left hand into his, guiding it down to his groin. "Did I say you could touch him?" Ayato parted the melody of the two boys panting. 

Childe felt Thoma’s hand tremble on his. "My lord, I-" Thoma opened his mouth only to be immediately hushed by a harsh tug on his mullet's tail. "Did I say, you could touch him?" Ayato repeated, this time emphasizing every word harshly. "No, sir." Thoma caved in. "That's what I thought”. Ayato hummed, turning to the harbinger again. "Slap him, Childe." he ordered. Childe gasped, "Me?" Zhongli wasn't interfering up until now, but this had piqued his interest. "He's misbehaving in front of my guests. Don't you think he deserves to be punished?" Ayato's eyes shone silver, piercing Childe's baby blues, corrupting and poisoning him. He was still new to this, most of his firsts being with Zhongli over the course of the past months. The archon was very gentle with Childe, easing him into more rough stuff slowly as time progressed and had explained to him at the beginning of the night that Ayato could be a little harsh at times. 

"Do it, Ajax." Zhongli broke his silence. Childe didn't waste another second before swinging a harsh abrupt slap across Thoma's cheek at the sound of his owner. Thoma whimpered with a mix of pleasure and pain. "Again." Zhongli ordered, Childe could feel him getting hard underneath his thighs. Ayato's eyes glowed as Childe's palm landed on the housekeeper's other cheek. Thoma lifted his face to find the harbinger with a guilty look in his eyes. "Don't feel bad, Thoma's not the best at following orders. Sometimes he needs a...gentle nudge." Ayato smirked mischievously. 

Childe and Zhongli noticed the growing erection between the housekeeper's legs. "Is his mouth any good?" Ayato asked Zhongli. The archon affectionately petted Childe's hair, his eyes closed like a satisfied kitten. "Why don’t you see for yourself?" Zhongli answered, making Ayato chuckle and nod contently. Childe looked at Zhongli for his approval, getting on his knees to approach Thoma. He hesitantly licked the tip of Thoma’s cock, the drags getting more confident and passionate as the housekeeper hissed and grabbed onto Ayato’s thighs. Zhongli’s eyes were fixated on Childe, eyeing his sloppy movements, the slight tingle in his wide shoulders as he couldn’t help but grind onto Thoma’s leg. Getting more and more turned on as the blonde’s moans filled the room, Childe’s hand trailed down to stroke himself. “Hands off.” Zhongli ordered. 

He immediately retreated, bringing his wrists together behind his back so Zhongli could see. Ayato was in awe of how Childe submitted to him with no questions asked. The archon hummed and laid back, watching the harbinger with a lustful gaze as he kept sucking and grinding needily onto Thoma’s leg. Ayato watched Zhongli reach for his hardened cock, giving it light strokes while he intently watched the two. “Enjoying the show, Morax?” Zhongli smiled at the name, making his way to the bed, “Very much so.” Ayato turned the housekeeper's face towards himself, “Go and do as he says, got it pup?” Thoma lightly pushed Childe away, “Yes, my lord.” He followed Zhongli to the bed, taking off the rest of his clothes. Childe watched him leave, slightly confused. Ayato leaned forward, stopping an inch away from the harbinger’s face, “Is there a problem?” 

“No…It’s just… Won’t we go with them?” Childe asked, trying not to be rude. Ayato held his chin, “You’re mine for a little while.” He laid back on the chair, Childe’s attention shifted to the commissioner’s body, finally noticing how beautiful it was now that Thoma was off his lap. There wasn’t a single imperfection, he was toned yet so slender and agile, on the contrary to the warm tint that Zhongli’s skin had, Ayato, was porcelain. He didn’t look human, Childe couldn’t imagine him bleeding, how could he possibly have bones and veins underneath? He was torn between being terrified of touching Ayato and simultaneously feeling the strongest compulsion to do so. Suddenly he realized how long it had been since he froze in place. Ayato was waiting patiently, aware of the hold he had over Childe. He chuckled, “I don’t bite.” Childe nodded, pressing his palms on Ayato’s sides, tracing his abs, feeling his sharp hip bones, trying to rationalize his feelings as he explored the young master’s body. 

Until then he felt the urge to turn around and check up on Zhongli, but that urge had suddenly vanished. Ayato was occasionally eyeing the two, Thoma was on the archon’s lap, leaving kisses and bite marks all over his neck and torso while the brunette squeezed his thighs. His arms were slowly turning darker with faint gold lines all along his sculpted abs.  Childe dragged his tongue along Ayato’s shaft, trying to hide his excitement, he went on slowly, cherishing every inch. He began to caress his pale thighs as he picked up the pace slightly, applying more suction, eliciting light moans from Ayato’s lips. Childe could feel his face catching on fire. His voice was so nice, soft and calming, yet it felt like he was going to explode. He forced himself a bit more, going deeper and deeper in an attempt to drag more lewd sounds out of him but it wasn’t quite paying off. Childe looked up, meeting Ayato’s gaze. “If you want something, ask for it.” he said as if he read the harbinger’s mind.

Childe pulled away, wiping his saliva. “I would just…like to hear more.” he said hesitantly. Ayato leaned in, “Hear more of what?” he was keeping a straight face, enjoying himself as Childe turned redder and redder. “You…moaning.” he averted his gaze. Ayato held his chin to lift it up, “Then do better.” Childe momentarily choked on air, “I’m doing my best.” he said apologetically. “He’s way too nice to you.” Ayato whispered, an inch away from the harbinger’s face that was brimming with tears. He grabbed the back of Childe’s hair roughly and jammed deep into his throat with no warning. “I could show you things much more thrilling, you know.” Childe’s eyes widened, jaw clenching around Ayato’s cock as he slid the harbinger’s head back and forth, feeling the back of his throat with every thrust. Childe was letting out muffled screams, grabbing Ayato’s thighs so tight that his fingernails were digging into the flesh. 

Ayato pressed on the soft spot right beneath Childe’s chin, “Relax here.” The harbinger obeyed, trusting Ayato to ease his misery as he focused on Zhongli’s grunts to distract himself. The young master let out a deep moan, “There, a lot better, no?” Childe hummed, his face relaxed as the strain of Ayato’s cock became lighter, sliding much more smoothly and knocking him back into his senses. He looked up at Ayato, swirling his tongue around the shaft and latching on strongly. Ayato’s spine met the chair as his head fell back with pleasure, fingers tightening on the ginger locks. “Keep going.” Childe obeyed, slowly adjusting to the deep thrusts as tears, saliva and precum coated his face. Ayato was still glued to the chair, his moans and words of praise encouraging the harbinger. 

His jaw was almost numb, his groin was aching from the lack of attention and yet he felt like he could go on forever as long as Ayato fueled him. He picked up the pace even more, choking and gagging until the young master pushed his head all the way through, releasing warm liquid down his throat with a low “Fuck.” Childe swallowed in delight, pulling back as a thin string of saliva stayed connected between his lips and the tip of Ayato’s cock. He rested his head on the commissioner’s thigh, still out of breath. “You did well.” Ayato patted his head. Childe looked up at him, eyes half-lidded and burning bright. Ayato reached back to the wardrobe, revealing the panel of collars and leashes. “Pick one and I’ll take care of you. I imagine that’s painful.” he referred to the rock-hard erection between Childe’s thighs. 

His cheeks were flushed once again, “I pick one myself?” Ayato nodded, “Is that a problem?” Childe’s eyes widened, “No, of course not. It’s just that…he usually picks them out for me.” He turned around, seeing Thoma on Zhongli’s lap with his back turned as the archon slid him up and down harshly. “I’d like to see what you like.” Ayato caressed his shoulders. Childe hummed, he was mesmerized by the sight. Ayato got up to make space for the harbinger as he browsed through them all, settling on a thick, leather one with an adjustable chain. Some of them were fixed but these ones got tighter the more you yanked, they were Zhongli’s favorite, he had one just like it at home that had Ajax written on it. 

‘I’d like to see what you like.’ He liked whatever Zhongli liked on him. He liked dressing up in his favorite colors, he liked picking out toys he knew Zhongli enjoyed using on him, he liked being his, making him happy made Childe happier. And so, he picked out the collar confidently, Ayato raised his brows “That one’s heavy. Are you sure you can handle it?” Childe smiled, “I’m used to it.” Ayato binded it at the back of his neck and attached the leash, “Very well then.” He tugged on the chain, heading towards the bed and dragging Childe on all fours along with him. Zhongli was more laid back now, still out of breath as Thoma desperately kept fucking himself on his dick. Ayato traced his fingers along the fresh wounds on Thoma’s hips, the blood matching the dried up stains on Zhongli’s claws. He chuckled, “I keep forgetting that you have natural weapons, Morax.” 

Zhongli smirked, “You’re not doing any worse with unnatural ones.” Ayato hummed delightfully, patting on his legs so that Childe settled on his lap. Similar to how they started the night, everyone was facing each other, though Childe and Thoma had switched places. The harbinger looked at Zhongli, who was looking at him affectionately as Thoma rocked lightly on his lap. He had to take breaks as he wasn’t allowed to cum just yet. Ayato began circling around Childe’s hole with his lube-coated fingers. Childe cupped Thoma’s cheek, “You okay?” Thoma smiled, he was so exhausted and full of energy at the same time. “I’m okay, Ajax.” Zhongli tensed up for a moment, Childe didn’t really like other people using that name, but instead he leaned forward to kiss him. For some reason Thoma felt really safe to him, Ayato pushed two fingers in as Childe’s hand trailed off to the housekeeper’s cock. 

Thoma began to pick up the pace again, the two moaning into each other’s mouths, occasionally coming up for air as Ayato stretched the harbinger out thoroughly. Childe loved the feeling, as if he was sharing Thoma with Zhongli. An unspoken feral bond between the four of them. Eventually Ayato lined up at the harbinger’s entrance. “Ready?” he asked, only Zhongli noticed the evil grin on his face and what he was about to do. Childe was still passionately making out with the housekeeper and jerking him off, he mumbled a “yes” as Thoma gripped on Zhongli’s legs. With the confirmation, Ayato plunged deep inside Childe harshly, yanking the leash all the way back and fully blocking his airway. The scream he let out stayed muffled on his throat as his face turned a darker shade of red, Ayato started thrusting in and out, maintaining the depth as Thoma swirled his tongue around the harbinger’s nipples.

He looked at Zhongli with teary eyes, the archon was enchanted by his misery, his eyes were glowing amber as the gold markings shone brighter and brighter, his hand wrapped around Childe’s hardened cock as the sharp claws lightly scraped on the sensitive skin. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Ayato loosened his grip. Childe coughed, gasping for air while trying to keep himself from releasing. He’d never felt a rush this strong, so stimulated and in an immense amount of pain. His senses were both heightened and completely dulled all at the same time. Thoma was leaving kisses all over his face and shoulders, rubbing his cheeks on his skin, soft, pink and filled with freckles like a strawberry.

“You remember how we stop, Ajax?” Zhongli asked with a hint of concern to make sure as Ayato kept brutally thrusting in and out, latching onto Childe’s hips tightly. “Yes, Master.” he breathed out in between moans. Thoma could feel Zhongli twitch inside him, one hand on his side and one hand around Childe’s dick. He was amazed at the harbinger’s stamina. “Again, please.” he pleaded. Ayato looked at the archon with a hungry gaze. Zhongli thought he was deranged at times. He would ruin someone like his Ajax. Thoma was more of a brat as far as Zhongli had observed, he fought back to Ayato and him, and he liked having his way even as a bottom. But Childe lived to serve him, so he cherished that, he was careful not to damage Ajax. But seeing him as big a mess as he was right now was awakening something inside Zhongli. 

Ayato was still looking at him, “Do it.” Upon hearing the archon’s voice, Ayato didn’t waste a second before tightening the collar once again. Muffled moans and screams dangled on the harbinger’s throat. He knew how to make it stop, and he knew he had to, but he just loved the way Zhongli looked at him. As if he wanted to fuck him senselessly and tear him to pieces. He was getting it out on Thoma, who was thoroughly enjoying it with his eyes rolled to the back of his head, loud moans escaping his lips. Just as his lungs were about to give out, Ayato let go, Childe was unable to hold himself any longer as he painted Thoma’s stomach white. “My lord…” Thoma whimpered. “Go ahead, pup.” Ayato permitted him to release. Childe looked up, then collapsed onto the housekeeper, blacking out as his body went limp. Ayato looked at the archon, “Finish, Ayato.” he growled. Thoma held the harbinger’s body still as Ayato chased his own orgasm, Zhongli grunted, releasing around the same time as the commissioner, holding onto Thoma’s waist. 

Everyone stayed in place for a while, settling down and coming out of the high. Ayato gently laid Childe on his back as Zhongli pulled out. “Hm, making a mess on our guests…That’s not very nice Thoma.” Ayato teased. Thoma pouted, then smiled again, “Can I clean him up?” he asked. “Mhm, do that and I’ll draw you a nice, warm bath.” Thoma climbed on top of Childe, licking off his own cum from the harbinger’s stomach and groin. Ayato laid on Zhongli’s chest, his silver hair scattered over the now fading gold markings while his slender fingers gently traveled over the archon’s thighs. Thoma moved down, cleaning his master’s semen leaking out of the harbinger’s hole. Zhongli’s hands were tangled in Ayato’s hair, his heartbeat finally returning to a normal pace as a wave of serenity came over him. Soon after resting, Ayato took Thoma to the bath and Zhongli took Childe in his arms, placing a loving kiss on the harbinger’s lips.

beta reader here!

beta & alpha readers wanted for fic projects will beta in exchange!

Hey everyone!

For those that don't know me, my name's Lou (she/her) and I have recently gotten back into revamping the numerous fic projects I had in my vaults and trying to get back into my writing again.

I have put out this post to say that if anyone is also in a similar situation with their own fics, I am offering my fellow fic writers to beta & alpha read fics in exchange for coming on as an alpha or beta reader for my own projects.

As a beta & alpha reader, I am willing to not only check for grammar, punctuation, spelling and formatting but also:

identify weaknesses in the plot.

identify pieces in the story where engagement was high or lacking.

identify points in the story where clarity is needed.

help develop characters (both oc & canon)

canon check pieces of information (for canonverse/compliant fics)

|| if you have specific needs, feel free to check with me ! ||

As a writer, I am looking for someone to help with:

identifying inconsistent tense.

identifying where engagement was high or lacking.

identifying points in the story where clarity is needed.

writing relationship development (platonic/romantic)

editing plot structure and fluidity.

writing descriptive settings.

identifying monotone or repetitive parts of the story.

Most importantly, I am looking for people who can approach my story as both a reader passionate about the fic and a writer/editor passionate about helping improve the story.

My projects are also multi-chapter (150,000) and usually part of a wider series (minimum of 3 parts) ; therefore, I am open to working on fic projects that are of equal length!

The fandoms that I write and will read for are:

Fairy Tail, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Game of Thrones/House of Dragons (TV), X-Men (movies), Teen Wolf, The Last Kingdom, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Harry Potter (fuck JKR tho), The DC Animated Films/Young Justice, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Walking Dead (universe), Scream (movies), The Vampire Diaries/The Originals, The 100, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Percy Jackson, Criminal Minds, Wolfblood, The Chronicles of Narnia, Outerbanks, The Maze Runner, Grey's Anatomy, Tower Prep, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, FATE: The Winx Saga, Stranger Things, Star Wars, Resident Evil (Gameverse), Power Rangers (the movie), The Hunger Games, Five Night's At Freddy's, Pacific Rim.

The fandoms that I have as WIP right now are:

Teen Wolf, Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Chronicles of Narnia, The 100, Game of Thrones.

The rest of the fandoms listed are in the worldbuilding process, which I also welcome help with if anyone is interested in bouncing ideas back and forth and fleshing out each other's fics!

This is the link to my Ao3 if you want to understand my writing style.

if you're interested in one of the projects I have for these fandoms (as a beta or just as a potential reader), send me a DM or a ask!

The type of fics that I enjoy writing/reading are (with consideration that Ao3 is my primary writing platform):

M-E Rated (For that reason, I prefer to work with 18+ betas)

Plot-heavy but with a well-written romantic subplot (requirement)

Specific tags/plot I enjoy/write: Time-travel, Fix-It, Canon-Divergence, What-Ifs.

Canonverse fics.

Both OC (has to have the potential of good development, though) and Canon Character-centric fics.

Found family, healing from trauma, redemption arcs.

Crossover/fusion fics (where the original fandom is set in the universe of another fandom)

Zombie-Apocolypse fics.

Dark twists on characters, plots, and the wider canonverse.

-

The type of fics that I steer clear from or don't enjoy reading/writing:

G-T Rated.

No romantic subplot at all (I am a romantic girly, sorry to say)

A Mary Sue OC/Reader-Insert or Mary Sue plot.

Reader-inserts.

Established Relationships (unless I can read the build up first)

Specific tags/plot: P*dophilia, Incest (outside of canon-typical), Mpreg, Omegaverse (only under special circumstances).

Modern AUs, Human AUs, No Power AUs.

No Comfort, No Happy Ending, Major Character (Permanent) Death.

Character bashing (I do read fics that bash, but I find it hard to beta for them only because I like to discuss characters objectively - but there are exceptions, so feel free to check)

Anything that attempts to glorify or justify racism, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, xenophobia, ableism, sexism, bigotry, abuse, r*pe or anything even remotely similar.

(feel free to check with me tho, I am open to discussion of everything except the bottom dot point)

Because I believe beta reading to be an experience that should be enjoyable and insightful for both the reader and writer, I am open to :

Discussing any ships, character arcs, or plot points that my betas personally wanted to see in the show or are very passionate about (read: this does not mean I will change my entire story but that I am open to possibilities)

Analysing and critiquing any of the above media (read: NOT BASHING, but genuine analysis of how different media were handled to apply to our own form of writing)

Giving out and receiving fic, tv, movie and book recs to aid in inspiring each other during the course of our writing, but also to support our fellow writing community!

Even if you're not interested, please repost so it can reach those who are!

I have never played Genshin before but my whale friend has been talking to me about the Jeht storyline! Jeht has a compelling storyline from what I’ve been told but apparently Jeht is an npc??? Which was shocking to me cuz…Jeht’s questline as of right now seems to be written for her to be playable one day??😮 (to me at least)

Like, many other gacha games would have a well written event/story that compels players to roll for them (Salieri FGO, Ebenholz Arknights, Liv: Empyrea PGR, Nehan GBF are the ones that I think of where the story emotionally moved me enough to try to obtain the story-centric characters)

Anyway! My point is that the Genshin writing team’s priorities are so…wack to say the least.

Oh yeah, for SURE. Jeht isn't even the only NPC that gets these extended storylines (longer and more developed than any playable character!) - there's Kazari from the Sakura Cleansing Storyline, or Rana and Arana from Aranyaka, or Ruu from the Thunderbird stuff, or I guess anyone from either of the Watatsumi questlines?

And it''s bonkers! Genshin's sales pitch for Keqing, one of two standard banner characters to get her own rate-up banner, was her showing up at the tail-end of the Liyue questline and immediately getting folded into the Traveller's Cheer Squad when they bought time for Ningguang to nuke Osial.

Cyno's personal story quest is about some other guy mourning his dead son, and Cyno is not the one that has an emotional connection to ANYTHING happening in that quest. Nilou's is about some Akademiyan girl and her father reconciling. Ayato's is about two randos wanting to get married. Eula's dumps her halfway through to focus on us dealing with her uncle? I don't know??

You do get the sense that Genshin is really, really not interested in their main playable cast - either that, or there are serious restrictions placed on which characters can be used for what. My pet theory as to why a large chunk of playable characters in Sumeru, Inazuma and Liyue are so distant from the plot is that the writers don't know everyone they'll be able to use. So in Sumeru, a writer might know they can definitely use Al-Haitham, Nahida and Scaramouche but don't know about anyone else, so they vaguely script the plot with "placeholder" characters they can slot into place once it comes time to finalise the draft.

That's why Cyno, Candace, Dehya, Nilou and Tighnari do shockingly little in the Sumeru questline when you actually stop to consider what it is they contribute that is unique to them, when compared to Al-Haitham. Why'd we gaslight some random NPC into betraying the Akademiya in part 2 instead of Cyno? Who knows? Did they know Cyno would be usable when they needed to script that part, did they know if his model would be ready?

But on the other hand, world quest writers can snag a pre-existing model, write whatever they want and do whatever they want. That's my best theory for the discrepancy! That might explain why Ganyu and Keqing did fuck all in the Liyue world quest...? Shrug???

Anyway, I've never really played a game with a story handled in such a batshit way as Genshin before. In so many ways.

You know I said this on Twitter, but I think it bares repeating.

I think a lot of the arguments of the Sonic IDW comics lose nuance and frankly this recent debate about "there being too many OCs" is no different.

I don’t mind them adding OCs or even giving them some story focus, it’s just how they’re doing it that kinda bugs me. The great thing about Sonic being a static character is it more so focuses on how he influences others, (i.e. Tails, Amy, Blaze, Merlina, Chip, the list goes on) yet here it really feels like Sonic doesn’t matter. You could replace him with just about anyone and the OC’s journey wouldn’t change.

He’s essentially a background character in his own comic that features arcs revolving around the OCs rather than just including them. Surge is the obvious and most recent example. It is not every arc or issue, there are of course game character-centric storylines, although these OC driven ones have been cropping up more and more recently as they continuously expand the cast. There's a lack of balance between new and long-time characters.

These OCs are starting to feel like writer’s pets with how much they’re overshadowing the game cast rather than building from them, thus missing what makes a new Sonic character compelling. It’s not being Sonic’s new friend/rival that’s interesting; it’s seeing how he inspires them.

Many of these OCs that seemingly interact with Sonic and co. frequently don't appear to have that strong of a connection to them. Add that with their growing amount of story focus to establish the new characters, then yes, I agree there are too many OCs in the IDW comics.

There's also some arguments about how it's demeaning to call the characters introduced in IDW, OCs. OC stands for "original character" and these characters are original to the comics. OC is the proper term for them. It's only the stigma many people harbor towards specifically fan OCs that makes some perceive it as a negative term.

TL;DR: The conversation about the focus on OCs in the comics is missing the point when the issue more so lies with how they're being used and introduced. It rarely circles back around to the game cast, who the book is supposed to be about, leaving them with minimal ties to the series they supposedly belong to. Also OC is not an offensive term.

#anti idw sonic #tagging that because i know many don't like this kind of negativity showing up in the regular tag #also people bringing up archie #like i'm not talking about archie right now i'm talking about idw #archie had its own issues and some overlap but that's not what i'm here to discuss #also just because i wrote this doesn't mean i feel very strongly about it #it's an issue and i just wanted to try and explain why it was an issue #because so many idw criticisms don't seem to explore the problems deeper #i like to ask why i don't like it rather than just saying i don't like it #idw sonic #<-tagging that to sort my blog since i think enough time has passed

hello! this is a prompt for your drabble thing:

maybe tails and knuckles are hanging out on angel island and tails is getting increasingly frustrated with a project hes brought with him

but all knuckles can think is 'damn, this little guy is adorable when angry' (all i can think is the tails pouting sprite from the murder game) - hes fluffy and tiny!! a little angry guy

and ofc tails hates being called cute, so this makes him pout angrier

if that makes sense? i absolutely adore your works, you're my favourite tails centric writer so i hope you're able to get better soon <3

word count-714

-----------------

Knuckles took a deep breath, enjoying the clear air. He closed his eyes and leaned against the Master Emerald.

It was refreshing, especially since he and the others had just gotten home from another adventure.

The echidna was more than happy to be back home. Soaking in the Master Emerald’s warmth, listening to all the critters playing around on the island, etc.

It was perfect.

“Ow, dangit!”

Too bad perfect things don’t last forever.

Knuckles peaked an eye open and looked over at the steps of the shrine, watching as the fox stuck the side of his finger into his mouth.

“Everything okay, bud?” He called, watching as one of the big ears flicked before swiveling towards him, showing that the younger was listening to him.

“Yeah,” Tails grumbled after pulling his finger after his mouth, “this stupid thing just clipped me.”

The echidna hummed before walking over to the kit, taking a seat next to him. He was working on repairing the Miles Electric, it had gotten destroyed during their adventure.

Knuckles hadn’t seen the kid that sad in a while.

Tails glanced over for a second before returning to what he was doing, getting lost once again in his work.

Watching the younger work amused Knuckles. He didn’t understand a single thing he was doing, but it was still interesting to watch.

Tails’ movements were so fluent, so confident. With the way he worked, the echidna was sure he could repair the damned thing blindfolded and with an arm tied behind his back.

Well, until the kit groaned and slammed the tablet on the ground beside him, glaring at it.

Knuckles blinked in surprise, not having expected the small outburst.

“What was–” He started, but stopped when Tails’s ears folded against his head as he looked away from the Miles Electric with a pout.

They sat in silence for a minute. Mostly because Knuckles had no idea how to react to that.

“Uh,” He leaned forward slightly to try and make eye contact, but the younger just turned away and crossed his arms, “are you–”

“I’m fine.” Tails mumbled, one of his namesakes curling around to rest on his lap, “Just frustrated.”

Knuckles thought on it for a second before nodding, showing he understood. He should probably leave the kid alone for a while.

But..

“I’d never thought I’d say this,” He started, smiling a little when he saw the other’s ears flick, “but I just realized I do agree with something Sonic has said.”

Tails’ brow furrowed before he turned to look up at the older, “What?”

The smile on Knuckles’ face quickly turned into a smirk, “You’re adorable when you’re angry.”

He barely kept himself from snorting as he watched the younger’s expression change as he finally registered what the echidna said.

“What?!” Tails’s cheeks flushed, but Knuckles wasn’t sure if it was because he was embarrassed or frustrated, “I am not!”

“Mm..” Knuckles hummed, shaking his head, “that’s what I had thought before. I didn’t think it was possible to look cute when mad, but you’ve proved me wrong.”

“I–” The kit went to argue, but bailed, deciding to turn and hide his face away in his tails. The older let out a soft chuckle, letting his hand gently rub his back.

“It’s nothing to be embarrassed over.” He said, “it could be a useful manipulation tactic.”

“I think I prefer you and Sonic fighting because of stupid stuff over this.” Tails grumbled, muffled by his namesakes.

“If you’re trying to change my mind, this isn’t helping.” Knuckles smirked at the glare he received from the younger.

“I thought I could trust you not to do this type of thing, Knuckles!” Tails whined, his ears drooping, “I already have to hear this from Sonic and Amy!”

“Sorry to have disappointed you, little one, but your cuteness was too much for me.” The fox groaned, dropping his head into his hands.

The echidna laughed and pulled the younger to his side, patting his shoulder a few times. They sat in the same position for roughly five minutes before Tails sighed and leaned into the other, wrapping his namesakes around the two of them.

Knuckles smiled at him, but didn’t say anything. He figured the fox was embarrassed enough for one day.

(Modern Tails anon) {Don't worry, I totally get the need to vent. We all have our feelings on things, I'll try to my best to follow up with my own word vomit.} Heh, as long as he's doing something other than typing on a pad, that's seems to be enough for some people. /s (Archie didn't exactly do him better either; with everything else that was going on in it, but at least he had a few personal shining moments in it. IDW, Modern really hasn't had a definitive story yet. One that covers all his aspects and show his future potential, not just smarts and gadgets.)

Probably doesn't help that characters with superpowers tend to have a bias, compared to more "normal" ones. (I mean, Tails isn't normal either, but I think you get what I mean. Kid genius trope struggles.)

Hmmm, probably have to chalk that up to SoA localization changes; which omit the whole bullying thing and downplayed his inventor aspects pre-Adventure/Sonic X. Early cartoons playing hard into the 'kid' side didn't help either. (Underground completely removing him for real siblings certainly was a choice after AOSTH and SatAM went on about him and Sonic being surrogate brothers. At least the OVA balanced everything.)

Yeah, some are missing the point why Nine is the way he is and his current arc. As curious as I am about potentially seeing a "main antagonist" Tails, I can't help but feel it might hinder Modern Tails' outlook more or give even further wrong impressions of his character, especially in tangent to Sonic. (Frontiers is just words until we see what happens passed this game onward. I did sneak a look at the DLC leaks, and well, let's just say a certain trend of his we keep joking about continues and leave it at that. xD)

This is what I also mean about him interacting with other characters. How would he be as THEIR partner for a while? What if he took leadership and inspire others, just like Sonic has. What does he learn from those experiences? Considering he doesn't have personal contempt for most characters, him being mostly neutral allows him to talk virtually with everyone rather civilly. Including Eggman's robots. (Ah, someone else with the Tails and Sage vision. xD I'm hoping with their similarities, it leads to a cool dymanic between them, I don't quite see them fighting each other as much as Sonic and Eggman do.)

Heh, we don't talk about Sonic's admiration of Tails very much, or how they keep each other centered and it often leads to that lopsided view. Yeah, Sonic 'raised' Tails; more as guidance than the traditional parental sense, but Tails is one of the main reasons why Sonic is still alive. Sonic values Tails' opinion, even if it doesn't always align with his. His support and planning is why Sonic can succeed in his heroism. (Sonic isn't dumb by any means and can handle himself well, BUT can you say his adventures would have gone smoothly or quickly without Tails' help? Do you not think he enjoys Tails' company regardless and supports him with all his heart? Do you think why the dude who generally prefers solitude considers this fox close enough to be described as his family? Their bond has multiple layers, years of trust and is still evolving. Focusing and giving all the credit to one side of the team is disingenuous to both.)

Thanks, anon!

I wonder if idw would do something with Tails at all... maybe in a couple of years we'll see. I have other thoughts on idw, but I should stop myself because thinking about it too long is a bit upsetting. (I wrote an entire paragraph about him in the Metal Virus but. I should really stop thinking about it)

I'm really hoping we get a Tails-centric story in that 900 issues special, and if not, at least have him be a supporting character for someone he doesn't usually interact with much (so basically anybody who isn't Sonic). I looked at the list of the writers and I honestly have no idea who I'd want to write for him, since a lot of them only did a couple of sonic stories at most.

Technically Tails does have superpowers, he can fly and he's fast... but a good chunk of the cast also has those, so it isn't something that seems so special anymore. So he only has him being a kid genius to set him apart and yeah, I guess it isn't as awe-inspiring as being able to throw cars with your mind or set things on fire.

Yep. What I was trying to say in the last post, is Tails's backstory being kind of hard to figure out just from playing the game is the reason why the western adaptations were able to change him so much in the first place. (At least that's what I meant by "that's how we ended up with Tailses who thought math was hard"). Though maybe if those adaptations did have his game backstory elements being more prominent somehow, it would have created a different image of Tails for a lot of people in the west...

Interesting that the bullying thing was included in Stay Sonic, which is what the Fleetway comics is (partially) based on, and it is a part of his backstory in the comic as well. His bullies were other foxes, just like in Origins/Prime. (Kid genius thing was not included though, hence "Pixel Brain")

(Also it's interesting that aosth started to bring in some of the aspects of his game characterization by the second half of the show. The whole episode dedicated to him being a genius, and then his technological abilities do occasionally come up later on, him fanboying over a pilot and flying a plane in another episode, people occasionally commenting on how freaky it is that he has two tails, stuff like that)

Honestly I don't know what else I could add on the Nine thing, I genuinely don't believe he would be the final antagonist. If he does end up as one, I have no idea what it says about the actual Prime Tails, how are we meant to read it? (Also I just generally have a bit of a distaste for how fandoms would see a traumatized and hurting kid, who is maybe kind of angsty and isn't the best at managing their feelings, and immediately go "Oh evil! They're soooo gonna be a villain!" I understand it could be really cathartic to see a character who's been wronged and hurt to turn the tables and be unhinged and calling the shots, but 1) often in the end it ends up being self-destructive behavior, 2) while it could be cathartic for some viewers, and technically it's a plot that has a right to exist, the fact that it's a trend that I've noticed makes me feel like people associate mentally ill teenagers with being evil, which is not great (though maybe I'm reading too much into this), 3) I just genuinely think this isn't where Prime is going)) Tails could make for a terrifying antagonist, I'm just really struggling to imagine what could actually drive him to villainy.

Tails and Sage... my first thought was "Oh they're definitely gonna make them rivals. Considering that Tails used to battle Eggman, isn't that a bit of a downgrade?" But then I actually started thinking about it, and now I want it. I have some ideas, but the actual dynamic would really depend on where they take both of those characters after Frontiers. But it could be really interesting, and more importantly, different from the rivalries that we already have!

Yes, Sonic and Tails! As much as I would love for Tails to interact with other characters, he and Sonic do have a great dynamic together. Honestly I don't think I have anything to add. It reminded me of the recent Sonic Channel story, at the end Sonic says something along the lines of Eggman being the unluckiest person in the world because of all the people not to lose their memory, it was the two of them, which means he's definitely going down!

#sonic doesn't look before he leaps not because he's reckless he just knows tails would catch him #tails #hmmm I wouldn't call this one a rant #I've chilled out #project.txt #miles tails prower #tails the fox #sonic #how much sonic trusts tails is amazing to me #it really balances out tails's own admiration of sonic #i feel like being friends for so long had influenced sonic as well. the not looking before leaping thing from before was a joke but #I do think that knowing that he always has tails in his corner does influence some of his decision-making

SEO in 2024: Mastering Content Strategy for Success

As we approach 2024, the search engine optimisation (SEO) landscape is witnessing transformative trends that reshape how content marketers should approach their strategy. At the forefront is the evolving complexity of content creation, deemed the most challenging aspect of SEO. Alongside, Google's sharpened focus on Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness, and Experience (E-E-A-T) further underscores the need for a robust content strategy. This article delves into these elements and provides a comprehensive roadmap for content marketing writers aiming for SEO success in 2024.

Understanding the Content Conundrum

Content Challenges: The biggest hurdle in modern SEO is creating content that stands out amidst an ever-growing sea of information. The challenge is not just to create content but to craft compelling, relevant, and value-driven content that resonates with both users and search engines. In 2024, content marketers must navigate through increased competition, ever-changing user preferences, and more sophisticated algorithm updates.

Quality Over Quantity: The days of keyword stuffing and thin content are long gone. Today, and moving into 2024, Google’s algorithms are incredibly adept at understanding content depth, relevance, and quality. For agencies and in-house teams alike, the focus must shift to producing well-researched, deeply informative, and engaging content that serves the user's intent.

Google's E-E-A-T: The New SEO Mandate

Expanding E-A-T to E-E-A-T: Google's emphasis on Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness has expanded to include Experience, forming E-E-A-T. This paradigm shift signals Google's intent to prioritise content that not only demonstrates subject matter expertise but also provides an excellent user experience. Content creators must, therefore, ensure that their content is not only factual and up-to-date but also user-centric and interactive.

Aligning with E-E-A-T: To align with E-E-A-T, content writers must focus on several key areas:

Expertise: Showcase subject matter expertise through well-researched and comprehensive content. Utilise experts or thought leaders for content creation or contributions.

Authoritativeness: Gain recognition from other reputable websites and authors through citations, guest posts, and quality backlinks.

Trustworthiness: Secure your site, be transparent about authorship and sources, and ensure all content is accurate and reliable.

Experience: Enhance the user experience by improving content readability, site navigation, and overall site performance.

2024 Content Strategy Roadmap

To help content marketing writers navigate through 2024, here's a detailed roadmap focusing on strategic planning, execution, and evaluation:

1. Audience Analysis & Intent Understanding:

Perform a deep dive into audience demographics, preferences, and behaviours.

Utilise tools and analytics to understand search intent and topics of interest.

Segment your audience and personalise content to cater to different user needs.

2. Topic Research & Content Planning:

Use SEO tools for keyword and topic discovery, focusing on long-tail keywords and questions.

Plan a content calendar that addresses various stages of the user journey.

Include a mix of content types (blogs, long-form articles, videos, infographics) to cater to different preferences.

3. Creation & Optimisation:

Create content with a clear, engaging narrative that provides real value.

Incorporate multimedia and interactive elements to enhance user engagement.

Optimise for on-page SEO elements while maintaining natural language for readers.

4. Authority Building & Promotion:

Develop a link-building strategy to earn quality backlinks and improve domain authority.

Engage in community discussions, forums, and social media to promote content and gather feedback.

Collaborate with influencers or industry experts to expand reach and credibility.

5. Performance Tracking & Adaptation:

Continuously monitor content performance using analytics tools.

Gather user feedback through comments, surveys, and social listening.

Adapt and update content regularly to keep it fresh, relevant, and aligned with the latest SEO trends.

As we move into 2024, the intersection of SEO and content strategy is becoming increasingly complex yet undeniably critical. Content marketers must rise to the occasion by understanding the intricacies of creating high-quality content and aligning with Google's E-E-A-T framework. By following the detailed roadmap and focusing on continuous learning and adaptation, content marketing writers can ensure that their content strategy not only meets but exceeds the evolving standards of SEO in 2024.

The journey to SEO success is continuous, demanding innovation, quality, and strategic foresight — are you ready to lead the way?

Tag Game - First 10 Lines

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and  tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and  share anyway.

Got tagged by the wonderful @wykart - thank you!!! :D I’m actually gonna include the first lines of wips I’m working on that aren’t posted yet because I think that’ll be more interesting to show haha. Gonna try and put them roughly in the order I wrote/posted them in. They’re all Doctor Who, of course. 

1. Taken from a canon-based oneshot that I might not finish, currently called ‘i’m what’s left when children go to war’ 

 “What do you mean you can’t get her out?” Yaz is saying, clearly trying for stern and authoritative, but not quite managing to hide the raw fear that’s bleeding out through the cracks in her voice.

2. Taken from ‘The Trestle at Kasterborous Creek’, which is a spydoc canon-based multichapter involving matrix nonsense and references to an obscure play that I love a lot. Alas, it’s actually the second line of the fic that’s one of my favourites

The room is choked with shadows.

3. Taken from Campervan AU part 6

On a scale of one to ten, Ryan thinks to himself, how embarrassing is it to hide in the kitchen at your own party?

4. Taken from ‘fletching’ - yet another canon-based oneshot that I’ll probably never finish

The snow is crisp under her boots, each step a soft crunch underfoot as she traipses through the frozen forest, coat wrapped tightly around her.

5. Taken from your ex-lover remains dead (i'll kill who you hate), my post-TPOTD spydoc oneshot 

She really should not be doing this.

6. Taken from ‘haunted house’, which is a Ryan-centric post-TPOTD oneshot that I never finished

“I’m just saying that it doesn’t make sense, is all!” Yaz is saying, the video stuttering on Ryan’s phone screen as his shaky internet connection tries its best to carry the call.

7. Taken from and you will go to mykonos - a thoschei-ish prison ficlet

“This isn’t real,” the Master comments as the wind plays with the tails of his coat.

8. Taken from  FUTURE DUST (blood and rust) - zombie au!

The survivor camp is built around a hospital in what’s left of Liverpool, and it’s busy.

9. Taken from ‘the rockrose and the thistle’ - yet another unfinished spydoc oneshot

The sudden spike of pain sends her back into consciousness with a gasp, harsh against the darkness.

10. Taken from the wild grass overlapping the front porch, a dhawan!master pov drabble that I wrote as part of the drabble bingo challenge! 

It turns out that escaping death particles, frankensteining an army out of the corpses of his own people, and letting an AI share his brain eventually takes its toll.

There we go! Now everyone knows how much I’ve been floundering with wips in the last few months hahah. I’m hoping I get out of the rut I’ve hit with campervan au soon, but said rut is definitely making me more distractable. Trestle was going very well until I realised that it was much bigger than I anticipated (I was at almost 40k and realised I wasn’t even halfway through rip) and then hit a rut with that too, and now my brain isn’t letting me write rip. So I’m just taking a break now, and hopefully I’ll get back on the wagon sooooon.

Tagging some wonderful writers (but no pressure, ofc, feel free to ignore) - @taardisblue, @sunshinedaysforever, @gabeorelse, @novantinuum, @fictionpenned, @koschgay, @emptyofdust, @echo84, @krebkrebkreb 

#taka gets tagged #tag game #taka writes #I mean I suppose it could be worse #at least SOME of them are posted and done #i would genuinely LOVE to finish trestle some day #i love it so much #it's so weird haha

"You want to touch him, no?" Zhongli purred in the harbinger's ear, hands roaming around his chest, teasing his nipples. He was fully naked on Zhongli's lap, facing Thoma who was seated on Ayato's. "May I?" Childe looked at Ayato, asking for permission as the man was fondling his housekeeper's thighs roughly. "Of course, dear." Childe shifted forward, reaching to touch Thoma's reddened skin. His hand trailed from the housekeeper's neck to his narrow, delicate shoulders. Thoma's breathing got heavier, face turning red from arousal and embarrassment that he was getting so worked up in front of everyone. He reached to take Childe's left hand into his, guiding it down to his groin. "Did I say you could touch him?" Ayato parted the melody of the two boys panting. 

Childe felt Thoma’s hand tremble on his. "My lord, I-" Thoma opened his mouth only to be immediately hushed by a harsh tug on his mullet's tail. "Did I say, you could touch him?" Ayato repeated, this time emphasizing every word harshly. "No, sir." Thoma caved in. "That's what I thought”. Ayato hummed, turning to the harbinger again. "Slap him, Childe." he ordered. Childe gasped, "Me?" Zhongli wasn't interfering up until now, but this had piqued his interest. "He's misbehaving in front of my guests. Don't you think he deserves to be punished?" Ayato's eyes shone silver, piercing Childe's baby blues, corrupting and poisoning him. He was still new to this, most of his firsts being with Zhongli over the course of the past months. The archon was very gentle with Childe, easing him into more rough stuff slowly as time progressed and had explained to him at the beginning of the night that Ayato could be a little harsh at times. 

"Do it, Ajax." Zhongli broke his silence. Childe didn't waste another second before swinging a harsh abrupt slap across Thoma's cheek at the sound of his owner. Thoma whimpered with a mix of pleasure and pain. "Again." Zhongli ordered, Childe could feel him getting hard underneath his thighs. Ayato's eyes glowed as Childe's palm landed on the housekeeper's other cheek. Thoma lifted his face to find the harbinger with a guilty look in his eyes. "Don't feel bad, Thoma's not the best at following orders. Sometimes he needs a...gentle nudge." Ayato smirked mischievously. 

Childe and Zhongli noticed the growing erection between the housekeeper's legs. "Is his mouth any good?" Ayato asked Zhongli. The archon affectionately petted Childe's hair, his eyes closed like a satisfied kitten. "Why don’t you see for yourself?" Zhongli answered, making Ayato chuckle and nod contently. Childe looked at Zhongli for his approval, getting on his knees to approach Thoma. He hesitantly licked the tip of Thoma’s cock, the drags getting more confident and passionate as the housekeeper hissed and grabbed onto Ayato’s thighs. Zhongli’s eyes were fixated on Childe, eyeing his sloppy movements, the slight tingle in his wide shoulders as he couldn’t help but grind onto Thoma’s leg. Getting more and more turned on as the blonde’s moans filled the room, Childe’s hand trailed down to stroke himself. “Hands off.” Zhongli ordered. 

He immediately retreated, bringing his wrists together behind his back so Zhongli could see. Ayato was in awe of how Childe submitted to him with no questions asked. The archon hummed and laid back, watching the harbinger with a lustful gaze as he kept sucking and grinding needily onto Thoma’s leg. Ayato watched Zhongli reach for his hardened cock, giving it light strokes while he intently watched the two. “Enjoying the show, Morax?” Zhongli smiled at the name, making his way to the bed, “Very much so.” Ayato turned the housekeeper's face towards himself, “Go and do as he says, got it pup?” Thoma lightly pushed Childe away, “Yes, my lord.” He followed Zhongli to the bed, taking off the rest of his clothes. Childe watched him leave, slightly confused. Ayato leaned forward, stopping an inch away from the harbinger’s face, “Is there a problem?” 

“No…It’s just… Won’t we go with them?” Childe asked, trying not to be rude. Ayato held his chin, “You’re mine for a little while.” He laid back on the chair, Childe’s attention shifted to the commissioner’s body, finally noticing how beautiful it was now that Thoma was off his lap. There wasn’t a single imperfection, he was toned yet so slender and agile, on the contrary to the warm tint that Zhongli’s skin had, Ayato, was porcelain. He didn’t look human, Childe couldn’t imagine him bleeding, how could he possibly have bones and veins underneath? He was torn between being terrified of touching Ayato and simultaneously feeling the strongest compulsion to do so. Suddenly he realized how long it had been since he froze in place. Ayato was waiting patiently, aware of the hold he had over Childe. He chuckled, “I don’t bite.” Childe nodded, pressing his palms on Ayato’s sides, tracing his abs, feeling his sharp hip bones, trying to rationalize his feelings as he explored the young master’s body. 

Until then he felt the urge to turn around and check up on Zhongli, but that urge had suddenly vanished. Ayato was occasionally eyeing the two, Thoma was on the archon’s lap, leaving kisses and bite marks all over his neck and torso while the brunette squeezed his thighs. His arms were slowly turning darker with faint gold lines all along his sculpted abs.  Childe dragged his tongue along Ayato’s shaft, trying to hide his excitement, he went on slowly, cherishing every inch. He began to caress his pale thighs as he picked up the pace slightly, applying more suction, eliciting light moans from Ayato’s lips. Childe could feel his face catching on fire. His voice was so nice, soft and calming, yet it felt like he was going to explode. He forced himself a bit more, going deeper and deeper in an attempt to drag more lewd sounds out of him but it wasn’t quite paying off. Childe looked up, meeting Ayato’s gaze. “If you want something, ask for it.” he said as if he read the harbinger’s mind.

Childe pulled away, wiping his saliva. “I would just…like to hear more.” he said hesitantly. Ayato leaned in, “Hear more of what?” he was keeping a straight face, enjoying himself as Childe turned redder and redder. “You…moaning.” he averted his gaze. Ayato held his chin to lift it up, “Then do better.” Childe momentarily choked on air, “I’m doing my best.” he said apologetically. “He’s way too nice to you.” Ayato whispered, an inch away from the harbinger’s face that was brimming with tears. He grabbed the back of Childe’s hair roughly and jammed deep into his throat with no warning. “I could show you things much more thrilling, you know.” Childe’s eyes widened, jaw clenching around Ayato’s cock as he slid the harbinger’s head back and forth, feeling the back of his throat with every thrust. Childe was letting out muffled screams, grabbing Ayato’s thighs so tight that his fingernails were digging into the flesh. 

Ayato pressed on the soft spot right beneath Childe’s chin, “Relax here.” The harbinger obeyed, trusting Ayato to ease his misery as he focused on Zhongli’s grunts to distract himself. The young master let out a deep moan, “There, a lot better, no?” Childe hummed, his face relaxed as the strain of Ayato’s cock became lighter, sliding much more smoothly and knocking him back into his senses. He looked up at Ayato, swirling his tongue around the shaft and latching on strongly. Ayato’s spine met the chair as his head fell back with pleasure, fingers tightening on the ginger locks. “Keep going.” Childe obeyed, slowly adjusting to the deep thrusts as tears, saliva and precum coated his face. Ayato was still glued to the chair, his moans and words of praise encouraging the harbinger. 

His jaw was almost numb, his groin was aching from the lack of attention and yet he felt like he could go on forever as long as Ayato fueled him. He picked up the pace even more, choking and gagging until the young master pushed his head all the way through, releasing warm liquid down his throat with a low “Fuck.” Childe swallowed in delight, pulling back as a thin string of saliva stayed connected between his lips and the tip of Ayato’s cock. He rested his head on the commissioner’s thigh, still out of breath. “You did well.” Ayato patted his head. Childe looked up at him, eyes half-lidded and burning bright. Ayato reached back to the wardrobe, revealing the panel of collars and leashes. “Pick one and I’ll take care of you. I imagine that’s painful.” he referred to the rock-hard erection between Childe’s thighs. 

His cheeks were flushed once again, “I pick one myself?” Ayato nodded, “Is that a problem?” Childe’s eyes widened, “No, of course not. It’s just that…he usually picks them out for me.” He turned around, seeing Thoma on Zhongli’s lap with his back turned as the archon slid him up and down harshly. “I’d like to see what you like.” Ayato caressed his shoulders. Childe hummed, he was mesmerized by the sight. Ayato got up to make space for the harbinger as he browsed through them all, settling on a thick, leather one with an adjustable chain. Some of them were fixed but these ones got tighter the more you yanked, they were Zhongli’s favorite, he had one just like it at home that had Ajax written on it. 

‘I’d like to see what you like.’ He liked whatever Zhongli liked on him. He liked dressing up in his favorite colors, he liked picking out toys he knew Zhongli enjoyed using on him, he liked being his, making him happy made Childe happier. And so, he picked out the collar confidently, Ayato raised his brows “That one’s heavy. Are you sure you can handle it?” Childe smiled, “I’m used to it.” Ayato binded it at the back of his neck and attached the leash, “Very well then.” He tugged on the chain, heading towards the bed and dragging Childe on all fours along with him. Zhongli was more laid back now, still out of breath as Thoma desperately kept fucking himself on his dick. Ayato traced his fingers along the fresh wounds on Thoma’s hips, the blood matching the dried up stains on Zhongli’s claws. He chuckled, “I keep forgetting that you have natural weapons, Morax.” 

Zhongli smirked, “You’re not doing any worse with unnatural ones.” Ayato hummed delightfully, patting on his legs so that Childe settled on his lap. Similar to how they started the night, everyone was facing each other, though Childe and Thoma had switched places. The harbinger looked at Zhongli, who was looking at him affectionately as Thoma rocked lightly on his lap. He had to take breaks as he wasn’t allowed to cum just yet. Ayato began circling around Childe’s hole with his lube-coated fingers. Childe cupped Thoma’s cheek, “You okay?” Thoma smiled, he was so exhausted and full of energy at the same time. “I’m okay, Ajax.” Zhongli tensed up for a moment, Childe didn’t really like other people using that name, but instead he leaned forward to kiss him. For some reason Thoma felt really safe to him, Ayato pushed two fingers in as Childe’s hand trailed off to the housekeeper’s cock. 

Thoma began to pick up the pace again, the two moaning into each other’s mouths, occasionally coming up for air as Ayato stretched the harbinger out thoroughly. Childe loved the feeling, as if he was sharing Thoma with Zhongli. An unspoken feral bond between the four of them. Eventually Ayato lined up at the harbinger’s entrance. “Ready?” he asked, only Zhongli noticed the evil grin on his face and what he was about to do. Childe was still passionately making out with the housekeeper and jerking him off, he mumbled a “yes” as Thoma gripped on Zhongli’s legs. With the confirmation, Ayato plunged deep inside Childe harshly, yanking the leash all the way back and fully blocking his airway. The scream he let out stayed muffled on his throat as his face turned a darker shade of red, Ayato started thrusting in and out, maintaining the depth as Thoma swirled his tongue around the harbinger’s nipples.

He looked at Zhongli with teary eyes, the archon was enchanted by his misery, his eyes were glowing amber as the gold markings shone brighter and brighter, his hand wrapped around Childe’s hardened cock as the sharp claws lightly scraped on the sensitive skin. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Ayato loosened his grip. Childe coughed, gasping for air while trying to keep himself from releasing. He’d never felt a rush this strong, so stimulated and in an immense amount of pain. His senses were both heightened and completely dulled all at the same time. Thoma was leaving kisses all over his face and shoulders, rubbing his cheeks on his skin, soft, pink and filled with freckles like a strawberry.

“You remember how we stop, Ajax?” Zhongli asked with a hint of concern to make sure as Ayato kept brutally thrusting in and out, latching onto Childe’s hips tightly. “Yes, Master.” he breathed out in between moans. Thoma could feel Zhongli twitch inside him, one hand on his side and one hand around Childe’s dick. He was amazed at the harbinger’s stamina. “Again, please.” he pleaded. Ayato looked at the archon with a hungry gaze. Zhongli thought he was deranged at times. He would ruin someone like his Ajax. Thoma was more of a brat as far as Zhongli had observed, he fought back to Ayato and him, and he liked having his way even as a bottom. But Childe lived to serve him, so he cherished that, he was careful not to damage Ajax. But seeing him as big a mess as he was right now was awakening something inside Zhongli. 

Ayato was still looking at him, “Do it.” Upon hearing the archon’s voice, Ayato didn’t waste a second before tightening the collar once again. Muffled moans and screams dangled on the harbinger’s throat. He knew how to make it stop, and he knew he had to, but he just loved the way Zhongli looked at him. As if he wanted to fuck him senselessly and tear him to pieces. He was getting it out on Thoma, who was thoroughly enjoying it with his eyes rolled to the back of his head, loud moans escaping his lips. Just as his lungs were about to give out, Ayato let go, Childe was unable to hold himself any longer as he painted Thoma’s stomach white. “My lord…” Thoma whimpered. “Go ahead, pup.” Ayato permitted him to release. Childe looked up, then collapsed onto the housekeeper, blacking out as his body went limp. Ayato looked at the archon, “Finish, Ayato.” he growled. Thoma held the harbinger’s body still as Ayato chased his own orgasm, Zhongli grunted, releasing around the same time as the commissioner, holding onto Thoma’s waist. 

Everyone stayed in place for a while, settling down and coming out of the high. Ayato gently laid Childe on his back as Zhongli pulled out. “Hm, making a mess on our guests…That’s not very nice Thoma.” Ayato teased. Thoma pouted, then smiled again, “Can I clean him up?” he asked. “Mhm, do that and I’ll draw you a nice, warm bath.” Thoma climbed on top of Childe, licking off his own cum from the harbinger’s stomach and groin. Ayato laid on Zhongli’s chest, his silver hair scattered over the now fading gold markings while his slender fingers gently traveled over the archon’s thighs. Thoma moved down, cleaning his master’s semen leaking out of the harbinger’s hole. Zhongli’s hands were tangled in Ayato’s hair, his heartbeat finally returning to a normal pace as a wave of serenity came over him. Soon after resting, Ayato took Thoma to the bath and Zhongli took Childe in his arms, placing a loving kiss on the harbinger’s lips.
