Sexy Eyes - Kathleen 'Katie' Shore/Samantha 'Sam' Carson

A/N: First fic for these two and I swapped monsters, oops. Fic for @jmathesonandsiblings Monster Swap AU Spooky Season In The Barrens. Crocodile Shifter Katie/Succumaid Sam.

Kathleen Shore, known to everyone as Katie, is not used to being delicate. She’s a crocodile shifter, but she’s always been more than that, a small, shy creature, a failure to everyone who was her old community but here… here she had hope. Samantha Carson, known to most as Sam, is a simpler creature, a succubi and mermaid, a succumaid as her parents called her. She’s brave, headstrong and drawn to Katie every time she sees her. So this time she doesn’t ignore her, this time she moves closer, drawn by the woman’s sexy eyes and shy smile. She’s quiet as she brushes hair behind Katie’s ear, enjoying her blush before kissing her deeply. It’s new, it’s bright and it’s hopeful in ways she hasn’t been before.

In The Wandering Mists - Ezra Matheson/Matilda 'Tilly' Westwood

A/N: AU for @jmathesonandsiblings monster swap Spooky season in the Barrens. Incubi Ezra meets Jersey Devil Tilly.

Matilda ‘Tilly’ Westwood had always been cautious, it was part of being a jersey devil. Being seen was never a good thing, but then she senses him. A succubi’s son, an incubus, a scent she knows well. She watches quietly as the man emerges. Then slowly she moves out of the shadows, drinking in the way he looks at her like she’s the best thing he ever saw. It’s a strange feeling, so many people are afraid of her, but she senses something warmer from him, enough so she moves closer. “Incubi?” “Devil…” His smile is intensely inviting and she knows she should keep her guard up but she doesn’t, instead she pads closer, scenting the air and finally giving in to the draw, falling into his arms.

The Unseen – Hollie Mann/Madison Mitchell-Mann

A/N: Written for @smubbles-etc 's Anti-Valentines.

“I’m not a stalker, I’m your guardian angel.” The words had come so quickly, panic driving Hollie to the truth, her eyes widening on the realisation. She’s told the truth, her truth. Everything in her wants to pull away, her eyes closing as Madison stares at her. She does not expect to feel Madison’s arms around her, Madison’s lips on hers, so when it happens, it’s impossible to hide her small smile, falling into the kiss. It’s a risk, she might be banished, but she loves her all the same. Later, wrapped in her arms, Hollie will learn to trust herself, her love, let her feelings show. The slow brush of Madison’s lips over hers even as she arches into her touch is a promise. Everything will be alright.

Bloodied And Unbroken Skin - Thalin/Suzanne Denver

A/N: Fic 15 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. TW: Past bloodshed.

Suzanne’s skin is unbroken when Thalin finds her, the blood spatter around her says it all. Suzanne has been silent since she arrived, crouching in a corner surrounded by gore and blood. She’s quiet as she crouches, tucking soft hair from Suzanne’s eyes and hating the whimper and shudder. She knows why, this much violence is never fun, not for girls like Suzanne, gentle, sweet tempered Suzanne who could flip on a switch, changing from calm to explosive rage. “Who was it?” Thalin’s voice is rough. “Friends of…. His.” “Then you did well.” Thalin murmurs, holding a hand out to Suzanne, her voice soft. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”

Sugar Sweet Safety – Ezra Matheson/Millie Maus, Tahyo Gaspard/Millie Maus

A/N: Fic 14 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season In The Barrens. Tahyo and Ezra belong to @jmathesonandsiblings, Millie is mine.

“What is that?” Millie has followed the scent from the bathroom, where she was finishing up a shower, to the candy apples Ezra is making, soft sea colored eyes flicker with interest and Ezra smiles, kissing her softly in greeting before answering. “Candy apples…” “Candy… apples?” His eyes soften even as he moves to take her hand, leading her with him to the fridge where the first batch are hardening, picking the biggest apple from the tray, presenting it to her gently, coaxing her into taking a bite. “Candy coated apples…” She’s silent, nipping small chunks from the apple, her smile small, shyly warm. “Why are you making… apples?” “I thought you might like them… and the family tends to bring them for Halloween parties, when we have them.” Millie’s smile is silent then, the apple slowly finished even as Ezra watches her with interest. She’s been quiet lately, almost a little timid, but now, smiling as she crunches though sugar coating, she seems to finally be at peace. It's almost three weeks later, with Tahyo tucked around her, that he learns her secret, the small cascade of badly stored apple sticks giving it away. Millie shivers, of course, retreating into the corner with such sad eyes he can’t help moving to tuck hair, golden-brown, from soft eyes, his voice gentle. “How many have you had?” “I don’t… know.” “Well, perhaps we should make some more…” There’s a moment, small really, that makes his heart ache, the sudden pang of pain and sadness in her eyes vanishing even as she moves to kiss him, her voice small, warm, but slightly shy. “Can you teach me?” “Of course, my Maus.” She wrinkles her nose then, smacking his arm a little and drawing a laugh. “Who made them?” His question is soft and Millie’s eyes widen, Tahyo’s chuckle soft. “Well, good for Ezra I suppose. Someone has to feed our Maus.”

Murderous Intent - Missy Claus/Price Edwards

TW: Murder, Sexual Content A/N: Fic 13 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. Price belongs to @jmathesonandsiblings, Missy belongs to me.

Murder. It sounded so unethical, but as Missy’s claws sharpen even as her humanity stays in control, she knows it isn’t, not really. The cryptid in question had been killing teenagers for sleeping together, a normal occurrence, even when the teens were cryptids. Blood drops neatly as she slashes the man open, ripping his vocal cords before he can scream. She dips, slowly, to trail her fingers through the blood, tasting the bitter sting of human and panther, her purr soft, but clearly aroused. She meets Price in their rooms, his bloody outfit already in the sink, ready for burning. She’s quiet as she strips her own, dropping it into the sink and sliding into the shower behind Price, her purr soft as she moves closer. “Job done?” “Mmm, three murderous fucks down, three to find.” Silence falls as she eases in front of him to wash the blood from her body, barely stifling her whine when Price presses closer, then turns her to pin her to the wall, her lips meeting his under the water as finally, finally, they come together, the pace both sharp and passionate even as she feels him stretching her again, their mutual passion enough to dull the sting of it, her whimpers and whines soon turn to moans, legs locking around his hips as she rides his pace, her final release loud, almost too loud for her own good, his smile sharply warm when she’s finally able to rest her head against his shoulder. “Worth the wait?” “Definitely.” Her purr is soft before she adds. “Don’t hold back next time.”

Love Story (Not A Ghost Story) – Juliet MacIntosh/Lady Liandrin MacBeth

A/N: Fic 12 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season In The Barrens.

“The Bloody Bride…” Juliet groans even as she settles to listen, aware that just inside the house Liandrin will be listening. The tale is wrong, she realises quickly, painting Liandrin as insane, dangerous, heartless. Liandrin is none of those things and Juliet cuts the story off quickly. “That’s not true… I’ll tell you the truth…” She does. Firmly, quietly and with conviction, staring down the young woman who had told the false version, her words softer as she finishes the tale, her voice low and firm. “The same thing could happen to any of us.” Later, the girls having gone home, Juliet locks the house, pulling curtains closed before making her way up to the bedroom, aware of Liandrin watching her as she enters. “You didn’t have to…” “I did. They had no right….” Juliet’s eyes sparkle with anger and Liandrin half-smiles, moving to kiss her stubbornly loving human woman all over again. “I love how fiercely you defend me love.”

Bleed For You - Missy Claus/Price Edwards

A/N: Fic 11 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season In The Barrens. Price is @jmathesonandsiblings guy, Missy is my girl.

The yowl breaks his focus exactly as Missy’s claws, sharp, sharper than they should be, bite into her attacker even as Price moves to flip the creature away from her, letting her rip the creature open before ending it’s life, his eyes taking in the way the cat crawls away into the shrubbery, a slightly scruffy looking Missy limping back to join him even as she pulls the spines from her wrists and ankle. “Fucker stung me…” “Show me?” Her blood drips over his fingers even as he analyses the wound. Her skin is already starting to heal over, the blood dripping free of her skin seems to be running normally. They got lucky. It takes him moments to realise she’s staring at her blood on his fingers before she moves to suck his fingers into her mouth, letting out a soft mew of pleasure that he’s sure he’s never heard before. Once she’s less desperate to clean him and looks less miserable he moves to scoop her into his arms, smiling at the hiss she lets out. “Settle down Kitten, you can claw me up later, see if you can draw blood this time.”

Menace In The Bedroom – Ellie Sutton/Jude Matheson

A/N: Bonus 1 for @jmathesonandsiblings ' Spooky Season in the Barrens. Jude is @jmathesonandsiblings ' Boy, Ellie is my babygirl.

“Jude…” Ellie barely hides the yelp even as she laughs into Jude’s kiss, allowing herself to pull him closer, the kisses sliding from subtle to passionately protective. She’s been wanting this, them like this, for a while, but she hadn’t quite expected Jude to make the first move. “Want you…” Two words, gruff with need and she smiles, kissing him again. “Then take me.” Clothes are stripped, thrown anywhere, Jude’s kisses turning fierce with love and Ellie allows herself to melt into it, responding just as passionately. Later, much later, she’ll wake tangled in sheets and Jude, smiling even as she wriggles a little deeper into his embrace, barely stifling her moan when he shifts against her and they slip back into love-making.

[shadowworldwanderers]

Bleeding Love – Dino Leeds/Gina Amato, Nonno Leeds/Donna Amato

A/N: Bonus 2 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. (Yes I did do these backwards, shhh). Dino and Nonno are @jmathesonandsiblings' people, even if they technically live on @welcometoleedsdiner. Donna and Gina are mine.

Families who kill together stay together. The motto was an old one that had been engrained into Gina and Donna since they were young, so now, when Dino and Nonno had plans to chase down the man who had so frightened Ellory they had insisted on joining them. Now, as the man bleeds, crying out for his friends, Donna and Gina move to assist in taking out the last of the family. Gina’s stabs are quick, delicate, designed to make as little mess as possible, Donna’s a little more vicious, quick and determined even as a near scream of rage leaves her. Nobody messes with her family and lives, she’s always said it, now she proves it. Later, walking from the devastation Gina’s hand slips into Dino’s, squeezing softly even as Nonno pulls Donna into a fierce kiss. She’s always been quiet, gentle, firmly loving, seeing another side of her only makes her all the more perfect to him.

Horror And Healing - Georgina Thompson/Jamie Shroud

A/N: Fic 10 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky season in the barrens. Jamie is theirs, Georgina is mine.

It’s the ninth time she flinches that she digs her nails into Jamie’s arm, just a little. Georgina’s eyes flicker closed even as she whimpers, a low, frustrated, noise. She used to love horror movies but lately she’s been struggling to relax. Silence falls, Jamie’s arm tenses then relaxes in her grip and she whines again even as he coaxes her silently into his lap, burrowing her nose into his neck, her breath soft even as she whispers an embarrassed apology. “Sorry… I didn’t mean to… claw you.” He huffs a laugh, soft lips pressed to her hairline as he runs a soft hand over her back. “It’s okay… I know you got a lil freaked out.” She’s silent then, flinching at the next jumpscare and burrowing her way deeper into his arms, turning in his lap just enough to tuck her chin over his shoulder and relax into him again, choosing to ignore the movie and soak up his warmth instead. “Better?” He sounds amused but she huffs out a small sigh and nods. “Always better with you.”

[shadowworldwanderers]

By The Firelight's Glow - Price Edwards/Missy Claus

A/N: Fic 9 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. Missy is mine, Price belongs to @jmathesonandsiblings.

It’s quiet, watching the bonfire. Price hadn’t been sure at first that he could adapt to the feral catwoman beside him, but, as he watches Missy’s eyes sparkle in the firelight, he knows now he would do anything to keep her close. She’s fierce, sweetly loyal despite being more than a little feral and ferocious. Where normal women might have found him too much she kept up with him, always. So, when people start drifting from the fireside, he inches closer, lets her curl closer, smiles at the soft, almost muted, purr as she nestles into him a little. She’s small, slim, innocent to anyone who looks at her, nobody would ever know the feral spark inside her, not when she’s like this. The bonfire glows even as people move away, tired by the days events. Soon they are alone and he can feel her smile curve at his neck, her lick then nip enough to drag a soft noise from him. “Easy Kitten, we can play later.”

The Ride Of Their Lives - Ezra Matheson/Cyrene Roberts/Anya Mazur/Joelle ‘Joey’ Sink/Nadira Richards/Shay Matheson.

A/N: Fic 8 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. Not much to warn for besides smut, raw smut. Ezra and Shay belong to @jmathesonandsiblings, the ladies are mine.

The Hayride company had been more than understanding, Ezra would think later. Many places would not have been so willing to let them rent the ride out for as long as they need to sate both needs and wants. In the moment, Cyrene’s hips pressing back into his pace, her lips and tongue spelling pure sin between Joey’s thighs, he didn’t much care what it took to have this, the women he loved so well even as she shares them with Shay. Shay, feeling Nadira’s hips press into his pace, eager to meet everything he can give, smiles as he watches Anya under Nadira’s tender mercies, whilst it might as well have been two groups of three, as he watches, Joey’s lips find Anya’s, both women moaning into the deeply passionate kiss they share. This, the hayride, had started innocently, arms and legs entwined across the back of the pallet they were in, but then hands started to wander, leading them here. Peace, Shay thinks, is worth whatever the cost is later.

Better The Devil You Know - Marguerite Beaulieu/Jude Matheson

A/N: Fic 7 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season In The Barrens.

“Devil…” The word, spat in her direction as it always is, makes Marguerite’s eyes sting with unshed tears even as she slips into Jude’s home, into his arms, burying her face in his neck even as the tears escape her control. “Shhh…” Jude’s murmur is soft, his lips brushing her ear gently, his voice a soft, sweetly warm rumble. “Shhh, sweet one.” She’s still barely in control of her emotions when she pulls back a little to look at him, her voice shaking. “Why do you… why me?” “People around here…. They are judgemental… if you are the devil for daring to love the wrong man then I guess I’m damned, for loving a devilishly sweet woman like you.” Jude’s smile curves up a little even as he leans to kiss her softly. “I don’t care.” He knew, deep down, if he ever told her the truth she wouldn’t run but it was still hard, she was still so new to this, to them. Her smile against his lips is all he wants and he smiles even as he lets the kiss deepen, pulling her closer. “Let’s go to bed.”
