Ever since Secret of the Mimic, this is how I see Old Man Consequences.
I gave him black tears to reference the shadow puppet sprite from fnaf 3, and glowing eyes to reference the one you see in fnaf world. Also he and Mr. Hippo are friends, that's canon, don't deny it.
At four and ten, Daeron dreams of a maiden kneeling before a weirwood.
At eight and ten, he ventures North for a marriage not of his chosing, but of the crown's command.

And the bonds between House Targaryen and House Stark are strengthened when the eldest of a fourth son marries the youngest daughter of a Warden of the North.Some things change for the better, others for the worse. A few stay the same. But when one with dragon dreams meets one with greensight there are bound to be repercussions no one thought would happen.

Part Three: Beginnings Start At the End
The trip up the White Knife is nothing like sailing from King’s Landing to White Harbor. Even Daeron, who absolutely detested riding horses due to his own lack of horsemanship, would take riding over the barge they were on. Oh, their escort was perfectly at home on this leg of their journey, and his uncle was a poster child for a serene prince for whom nothing rattled. But his father was most definitely not enjoying this, even if his lack of grumblings came out of sheer stubbornness and unyielding desire not to lose his meals. Lady Kiera looked rather green half the time, contrasting terribly with her particular shade of pink hair.
He would have thought she of all of them, save Uncle Baelor, would have some semblance of sea legs given the distance she had traveled to get to Westeros in the first place.
Little Aegon was determined not to lose any sort of meal he ate while they traveled except that he was hardly able to stomach putting anything in his mouth while they were heading upstream. Instead the youngest of their party was firmly in the tiny quarters they left him in, doing his best to emulate his favorite elder brother and sleep away the queasy stomach plaguing. Given the suffering and his age, Maekar had relented and let little Eggy do as he pleased, so long as he was up and well by the time they needed to mount the horses.
Horses would get him well enough. The little rascal loved them well.
Even his perfect princely cousin was miserable and ill with the roughness of the ride, more so than his wife, which was saying something. Daeron did feel pity for Valarr in that respect. It could not be easy.
He nearly jolts out of his musings when a hand thumps him right on the back, and there is Ser Wyle, grinning from ear to ear. Daeron had taken refuge towards the center of their barge and was leaving against the edge, watching the waves as they cut through the rapids. “You are handling this better than I would have thought, my friend,” he cheerly announced. The damn knight looked even positively gleeful at the fact.
Maybe it was all of those nights and days he had been out of his mind, filled to the brim with drink and bad decisions, but unlike the others he had dealt with unsteady feet and spinning heads on a regular basis, especially when heading back to either the Red Keep or Summerhall. Handling a rocky ride while sober was rather easy compared to that.
“Practice.”
“Of sailing northern rapids?”
“Of spinning rooms and walking on surfaces that wobble. Perhaps I shall run away and be a sailor.”
Mercifully, the knight does not question him on that particular statement, though seemed hopeful instead. Rather there is something being pressed in his hands and he looks down to see a satchel, the merman sigil on the fabric standing out against the dark cloth. Along with that a snort of laughter and a friendly grin.
“Ginger candy. For your family. Tis only a few more days but this will help with the queasy feeling and settle any stomachs.”
Daeron grimaces as memory of the recent complaints floods his mind. “No doubt little Egg will enjoy being able to eat,” he remarks dryly, thinking of his poor brother all bundled up under blankets as he tries to block out the swaying of the ship. It earns yet another bark of laughter from Wyle and another friendly pat on his shoulder.
It is easy to speak to this young man, far more than most of his traveling party.
He turns out to let his gaze drift, eyes not focused on anything in particular. They stand next to one another, comfortable in silent companionship. A friend, Wyle had said.
Friends could be trusted, yes?
A thought crosses his head again, the image of a dream he had the night before.
A direwolf guarding dragon eggs from a large red dragon. A sandy colored dragon swooping in and claiming all the eggs and the direwolf as his own.
A dragon the same color as his hair. Is he the dragon here? And the direwolf, his betrothed? The eggs, their children?
Would he be able to trust Wyle to guard them if he could not do so himself? When he inevitably would fail at his duty?
Gods above, he dreams of them now when he sleeps. It was hardly a terror to behold but he wanted to know with certainty. If they were not surrounded by that awful green fire, of melting walls, but of the dragon version of himself, did that mean he was able to stop the horrors before they began? When he had never been able to do so before?
Or was it a false prophecy and the gods were merely cruel?
Dangle something that he might cherish just to rip it away from his grasp.
He swallows thickly. And when he speaks, it is with a soft, serious tone, so out of place on his person that one might think him just a tad bit possessed.
“Do you think dreams could show us the future? That someone could dream the future and it comes to fruition? Such as… Daenys the Dreamer? When she saw the destruction of Valyaria in her dreams?”
Wyle, may the seven bless him, does not laugh in his face. Instead the look he gets in return is thoughtful, as if someone is taking him seriously for once. Brows knit together and Wyle leans over the edge as well, arms crossed. Sunlight causes the deep, dark green tint in his hair to shimmer.
A green unlike the toxic colour of wildfire flames.
“Valyrians aren’t the only ones with magic in their blood. There is magic in the North, old magic, in the very ground beneath our feet, the rivers we drink from, the stone we built our keeps out of,” Wyle starts, fiddling with the cuff of his glove. “Old stories tell us of green dreams and greensight, those who saw the prophecy in their dreams before Valyrians even bound dragons to their blood. Before the Age of Heroes, before Bran the Builder raised the Wall, and before the First Men came to Westeros, there were the Children of the Forest. Greenseers, they had, and saw things through the faces and eyes of a Heart Tree. And skinchangers who could take the skin of any animal, and make them do their bidding. Somehow that magic, the First Men learn to channel it too.”
Cold creeps into his spine. It snakes its way as Wyle talks and he listens, feeling the chill take root. A bone deep chill he has only ever felt once more.
“Something to speak about with Lady Alysanne when you meet her. She loves that sort of thing, histories and lore, magic and tales. You can woo her with tales of Valyrian magic and history and dragons, and she can tell you all about the North’s own myths.”
A tiny spark of hope blooms inside of him. If the lady were fond of magic and myths, then perhaps he might find someone who would understand the terrors that plagued him. If only for practical purposes.
It would be a shame to tell the lady why her new husband screamed in his sleep, if she were not to understand the possibility of just what was wrong with him.
“House Manderly was from the Reach, originally, as you know. But the Starks, well, they are the North, if one were to argue,” Wyle continues, not stopping the lesson even as Daeron is silently gazing out at waters, “And there’s something of magic in the old families, even if they never speak of it, I’d gather.”
Daeron would be hard pressed to disagree.
Rummaging through the bag, he pulls out a piece of that ginger candy, and pops it into his mouth, not expecting the flavor to have been so strong, and yet, here he is, wincing lightly. But a good wince, and there’s a quirk of a smile.
“We were dragonlords, once upon a time, and we destroyed them with our greed, our jealousy, our own desires. For the crown, for recognition, for something. They used to say Targaryens were closer to gods than men, for we controlled and rode those great beasts when there was no one left after The Doom. Perhaps we believed it too, to be above those we were sworn to protect, better for having creatures of fire, flame, and magic bound to our blood and our blood alone, and the gods themselves paid for that hubris, for no one should think themselves their equal to the gods.” He turns to face Wyle, eyes wide and clear.
“What do you say, Wyle? Were those beasts our salvation or our damnation? Magic in our blood still in our veins or a curse that took away the one thing that made us special?”
And there, he can see it, the turning of his words over and over in Wyle’s mind, the careful thought and consideration in his answer. The better option; to either best satisfy a prince or tell the truth to a man that may be a new friend?
“I’d say only the gods would be able to answer that. Perhaps there is a fine line between madness and greatness. Or that men were never meant to bind such powerful beasts and they might have been alive today. Perhaps they should have been left to roam free and men were to be men, not gods amongst the rest of the world.”
Shoulders relax at that answer and he looks away from the Manderley knight, eyes back on the waves. A hand is on his shoulder, a warm squeeze and he looks to see Wyle’s dark eyes, searching for something on his own. For what exactly, he is unsure of.
“You, Daeron, hide a wickedly clever mind more than anyone, even your own father, realizes. Save your littlest brother and myself of course.”
And with that the dragon lets out a bark of laughter, and drags his newfound friend down below the decks to find the littlest brother in question and give some relief to his seasick family.
~~~
He would never claim to be an exemplary horseman. At best, passable, if not forced into participating in a joust. Leisurely rides are the extent of his skills, and he would much prefer a wheelhouse to horseback any day.
A person could easily nap in a wheelhouse. They could eat and drink to their heart’s content in a wheelhouse. And even fucking in a wheelhouse, though he will admit not to doing that particular act yet, if only because there was no need to take one to a brothel. But oh, how a wheelhouse would be lovely right about now. Blankets and pillows and warmth would be in a wheelhouse.
The point was Daeron was not only painfully sober, utterly ill prepared for the cold of the North, but also spending a significant amount of time in the saddle, and by the end of this there would better be a long, hot soak in a proper bath when they reach Winterfell or he was calling this whole damn wedding off.
Aegon having the time of his life on top of his stead, well, which made the whole journey a tiny bit better. Sort of. Let him revel in riding his own pony, sent by the Starks ahead of time.
In fact they had not only lent out their own hardy horses for travel, creatures built and breed that were used to the harsh climate, but supplied thick, heavy furs for the royal party to keep not only for their journey to Winterfell, but down to King’s Landing after the wedding. “A gift,” Wyle had explained after Daeron had taken the heavy winter cloak and fur-lined gloves. “During winter, one needs to take care of those around them, and now that will include yourself and your family.”
The gods seemed to favor them though as the weather did hold out as they traveled up towards their destination. With the final leg of the journey nearing the end and the party making excellent time, they had shaved off nearly a week, as everyone had proven themselves capable of staying in the saddle long enough to make it from scattered camps already set up along the path.
A featherbed, he was nearly dreaming of sleeping in an actual featherbed, with pillows and blankets, and real rugs to put bare feet on; Daeron could almost see it.
Actually, if he was squinting right, he could see something. A town? Well, it looked a bit like a town, on the horizon, and the tops of a large keep.
Sweet salvation. Warmth was within reach. Even better, a chance to escape his father’s ever watchful eyes and perhaps finally get some privacy from both uncle and father.
And even better, there would be wine and cider and ale and all manner of drinks, he was sure of it.
Once again, he would thank the gods, old or new at this rate, for keeping the dragon dreams at bay. The need to block out the nightmares had been muted by this point, and he thought back to the conversation he had with Wyle on the nature of magic in the North. of how even dragons were not able to cross The Wall, their powerful beings repealed by whatever Bran the Builder had done with the Children of the Forest?
Did the old gods eclipse the new? Or perhaps they were soundly ensuring whatever valyrian magic that was in his blood was no longer able to torment him so long as he was on their soil, wedding one of their faithful.
“We’ll be going through the great main gates, as befitting your station. Two walls, with a moat between them, are before the keep proper. And even then, we’ll head through winter town, where you’ll see the smallfolk gathering to greet you all. No doubt they’ve gotten to celebrating one of their liege lord’s daughters becoming royalty.”
Wyle had kept up a steady stream of conversation during this day, if only to keep Daeron from making a run from the party as they grew closer to the final destination. That or he seemed to understand Daeron would die if he escaped the impending marriage. He seemed to have taken on the role of minder out of some newfound friendship and Daeron would be grateful if he was not daydreaming of blissful cocoons of blankets at the moment and only half listening to what was being said.
“After the introductions there’s bread and salt in the Great Hall. Make sure you observe the guest right to the letter. I shan’t be able to be there with you all the time to help you out so if you think any action might offend or hurt, just don’t do it, whatever it may be.”
Daeron blinks then, head cocked to the side. A sandy blond eye brow is raised at that, and he is somewhat confused about the lecture. “Even drunks and fools do not violate guest right. Thankfully I am both a drunk and a fool, as well as a prince,” he quipped back, a wiry grin on his face. “No worries, Wyle, I already promised the king himself I would be on my best behavior.”
That only got him a hearty laugh in return and a shake of the other man’s head, green-tinted dark curls shining in the sun.
And just as the sun was passing the high point in the sky, they were, in fact, passing through what Wyle had called ‘winter town’, smallfolk lining along the road to catch a glimpse of the travelers heading towards their lord’s castle. Names were being called out, for both Targaryen and Stark. Bright cheer, as their liege’s younger daughter would soon be a princess.
By then Wyle had gone to join the rest of his kin behind the Targaryen group, and Daeron took up a post behind his uncle and next to his father. Even though Valarr, as second in line, would normally be taking a spot behind his father, as it was Daeron’s wedding he would have that honor along with Maekar as the father of the groom and royal prince in his own right.
Aegon was between his cousin and his wife, carefully being watched and guarded, else he attempted to catch up with his elder brother.
“Sit up straight and do not slouch. You have height so use it to your advantage,” came the gruff comment out of nowhere, low enough so only he could hear. It caused Daeron to tilt his head just enough to see his father’s gaze land on him and he followed through, spine slowly straightening up and his head rising to rest squarely on his shoulders.
Just for a moment he could have sworn he saw a gaze that looked almost like approval from his father.
“I might have married your mother for love, but your grandfather married for duty. Courtship, companionship, friendship, love, all of that came later but it was to bring Dorne into the fold that your namesake did his duty first.”
And just as before, he looks this time to meet his father’s eyes. Something about them, less harsher than before, eyes that looked at him as if he were a small child again and could do no wrong in his father’s eyes. In this moment, it had been so long since they had looked upon one another like this that Daeron was speechless.
Maekar had taken that silence for understanding, the lack of protest or snark an agreement. “You follow in his footsteps, bringing the North back from its isolation, and in doing so become a man.”
It was as close to pride as he ever heard from his father.
The part in him that was still that little boy who wanted to make his father proud, who would swear on the Seven do no wrong and be the best prince there ever was, even if he was terrified of the dreams that haunted him, or could barely figure his footing in the training groups, it is that boy who bubbled to the surface in that moment.
~~~
Maekar remembered the little boy Daeron had been. Happy. Delightful. His firstborn son, his first child, the child that he and Dyanna had made together, in the blush of their youth and reveling in their love. It was not duty that had led him to Dyanna, but love, a deep bond that they shared from their first moments together that was still present to this very day. Masking it well, but truly, he wished he were in Summerhall with her than anywhere else in the world. And Daeron had been the first born of that love.
But something had happened to his boy. Something twisted him up inside and sought to ruin him.
Dreams. Visions. Nightmares that would have a child screaming in their sleep. Scenes in a child’s mind that only grown men would create.
Maekar knew of Daenys, of dragon dreams, but there were no more dragons. Only eggs turned to stone. And even if Daeron had been given that gift, he should have been able to tame it. He had tried to help in the only ways he knew. Training yard spars. Riding lessons. Sending the boy to squire. Make him a man so that his heir could be fit. So no taint of so-called Targareyn madness would infect his son.
Yet that same son had drowned himself in wine and debauchery, the only things he claimed truly muffled the terrors that haunted him; those same vices claiming him time after time till there was nothing but a shell of the child he had once held so proudly.
Seeing Daeron on that ship, curled up in pain, calling out in desperation for salvation, while the only thing he could do was push cool rags on feverish skin, it made Maekar briefly question if this had been his doing. His son’s slow poisoning of himself, was it because of him or because of those dreams?
Or was it of Daeron’s own choosing?
But watching Daeron now, away from court, away from the temptations of drink and vice, sleeping soundly when the nights had been usually dark and full of terrors for his son, even as they crossed the barren, frigid, death trap of a land, it was seeing that little boy come alive again for the first time in what felt like a lifetime.
As they ride in silence through this tiny town, heading towards the main gates of Winterfell, he watches with a careful gaze. No doubt his brother is aware of the change too. They had briefly spoken of Daeron’s behavior and the way that there seemed to be a lightness in the boy that had long been snuffed out. Baelor had pointed out the lack of escape attempts, the way every day hands shook less and less, the clarity in Maekar’s eldest’s eyes. How he held conversations with another and kept a watchful eye on Aegon's antics.
Perhaps this is what he needed after all. You softened when Dyanna came into your life, if only for her. Jena, my pillar I draw strength upon. And no doubt father relies on mother in ways no other can provide.
As much as he wanted to believe his brother, there was still the nagging voice in the back of his head. That this would all collapse, that somehow, someway, something would attach itself to Daeron and find a way to ruin his son once again. If Daeron let it. If the girl was not able to help him, the task being far too great in the end.
Everyone who has met her, seen her, spoke to her, said she is rather beautiful. Intelligent, dutiful, loyal, and faithful to the Old Gods, seems to be what most of them speak of. That Lord Stark raised his children to be proper northern nobility, if in the ways of the old Kings of Winter. Perhaps that is what Daeron needs, Maekar, not someone who is a snake in silks, like we see so often in court.
Perhaps his brother was right. Baelor often was.
Then there was the Manderley knight by Daeron’s side. Not a barkeep to support his habits, a fellow drunkard to cheer him on, or a whore to take his coin; a knight, even if that knight was a northern man, and one around his age as well. A friend.
Daeron never had many friends, he realizes as they finally make their way through the gates, and the few he did deserted him when it became apparent the young man was a mess of a royal rather than a true prince like his cousin.
A northern wife. A northern friend. Some semblance of peace in his son, with the little bits and pieces of the boy he had once held in his arms showing through.
Maekar could only hope that this might last long enough till the marriage was complete.
He could only dream it would last after the vows were said; long after the pair wedded and bedded.
Damn them all if it didn’t.
~~~
It was two long, low horn blasts that heralded their arrival. Not the fanfare often in court, or the ornate trumpeting noble houses would do to announce royalty arrived. Something low and ancient, like this very place, and Daeron felt it in his bones that something lay on the grounds of Winterfell the moment the horses stepped through the second gate.
The belly of the beast. Middle of the North. A place where old kings resided, conquerors who brutally fought in the harshest of all the Seven Kingdoms, and laid claim to a place that was as deadly in truth as the songs said they were. He had been filled in on just how truly bloody the Starks could be. Wyle had given him some prime examples of the brutality of the former Kings of Winter.
Beron is the second son but more dangerous than his elder brother Rodwell was. A hunter, a wolf in a man’s skin, when he feels the need to be. I’ve seen him hold their Valryian steel greatsword, Ice, and if there was ever a man who it looked at home with, it would be him.
Everyone had dismounted by then, and Daeron was pleased to note he did not trip or fall, his legs steady. Even Aegon had managed to do so without any aid, much to the pride of their father.
Good, let that put Maekar in a better mood.
Baelor stepped forward, an easy smile on his face. A mask of pleasantries, no doubt, as Daeron was assuming he too would like respite from the cold. Yet duty demanded this.
“My Lord Stark, I am Prince Baelor of House Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne, and Hand of the King. We thank you, and House Manderly, for the escort to Winterfell, and for the honor you have given my house. May I present my party; Prince Valarr, my eldest, and his wife Kiera of Tyrosh. My brother, Prince Maekar, Prince of Summerhall, and his sons; Prince Aegon his youngest son, and finally Prince Daeron, heir to Summerhall, prince of the realm, and your daughter’s intended husband".
He knew beforehand that he would be announced last. An honor, his uncle had said, as this was his time to shine. A duty. A responsibility. Daeron breaths in and steps forward, hands clasped tightly behind his back. No shakes today, not from the cold. Maekar's words about his height rang in his head and he straightened up, mindful of the eyes now on him. With his hair tied back, the rich furs, and the black and red of his house on display, for the first time in a while he knew he looked the part of a prince of the realm.
A man stepped forward, dark of hair, long face, a thick bread that was neatly trimmed speckled with greys, the only hint besides the wrinkles of his forehead sharing the truth of his age. Grey eyes scanned them, judging them, and he found those eyes to be nearly as cold as the snows they had traveled through. A hint of warmth bleed though, when they fell on Aegon, and curiosity when the man’s gaze reached his own.
Daeron looked right back, trying to find the steel in his own spine.
One breath in. And out. He bows deeply then, making sure to give this attention to the Lord of Winterfell, deference to the man who would be his goodfather, and looks up, meeting those eyes and searching for something, anything. Approval. Resignation. Something. Anything.
“Lord Stark, I am Prince Daeron of House Targaryen, and I am here to honor the Pact of Ice and Fire, bringing honor to both your house and mine, and tie our houses together in the bonds of marriage,” he says, voice as clear as the air they were breathing. He straightens up then, slowly and waits.
And waits some more.
Skies start to darken with clouds, and moments tick by as snow starts to fall slowly on them all.
And then a voice, deep and echoing across for all in the yard to hear.
“My honored guests. Be welcome beneath my roof, and at my table, for you have the protection of Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, Beron of House Stark. Bread and salt await you all in the warmth of the Great Hall.”
And if practiced, a woman steps forward, curtsey respectful towards the royal party, even if her eyes were like ice chips. “My lady wife, Lorra, formally of House Royce,” he says then, and the rest of the family is slowly introduced. A large family, seven in total, and while Lord Stark does not go beyond his own children and their respective wives and husband, he does point out the children that stand further back.
They bow and curtsey in respect, deference and respectful. But even it is clear that this is not exactly what anyone expected, for a dragon prince from the South to come up to the North.
Yet Lord Stark stands tall. Does his duty. Daeron thinks he would make a fine King of Winter solely by presence alone. It clicks into place just why his grandfather agreed easily to the match. Something about Beron Stark made him a king in all but name.
If the Starks and the North wanted independence, it was quite possible they could do it under this man's guidance. And there would be no dragons to worry about this time should Beron Stark go forward with that desire.
Daeron files away that thought though, when the last introduction is made.
Just like with Daeron, the bride-to-be is saved for last.
“Finally, may I present my youngest daughter, Lady Alysanne of House Stark, as your future wife.”
The girl in question steps forth. Dark hair bound in a long, thick braid that runs down her back. Pale skin, full rosy lips, and a face that holds a similar long face to that of her fathers, if only softened slightly in the cheeks, and a nose straight and narrow. Clad in furs that wrap around narrow shoulders, and a cloak that covers her up, a snarl wolf clasp holding them together. As she curtseys, low towards him, he can see the embroidery on the back of the cloak, a snarling direwolf in silver thread across her back.
He has seen that before. He knows he has.
A dream, so long ago, when the horrors were too much, and he wished for something more, something better. When he woke up and his breath showed despite the warmth of the room.
Time stands still as he looks upon Alysanne Stark, and his breath is caught in his throat.
A maiden kneeling before a heart tree, snowflakes melting in her hair. Wolf girl, my direwolf bride, and howling mingles with dragon screeches in the distance.
Dragons and direwolves guarding eggs.
A child’s cry as a dragon lays its head on a direwolf’s belly.
Daeron slowly remembers how to breathe, uncaring of the others around them. His world narrows down to just the two, the lady before him and himself, and he holds out his hand, sure and steady. He speaks before thinking, uncaring if anyone knows or hears.
“I have dreamed of you, my lady. Have you dreamt of me as well?”
And Alysanne of House Stark lays her bare hand on top of his, confusion mingled with recognition in those grey eyes of hers, eyes that are familiar and foreign all at once.
“Yes.”
Somewhere in the distance, as snow falls around them all, a direwolf howls.

"What about this one?"
"No, you know that would just piss her off."
"Exactly, babe."
Shopping with your partners was always interesting, but add in the holidays and it just made it all the more chaotic.
You rolled your eyes at Dieter while Shin pinched one of his butt cheeks. Dieter's jaw dropped at his boyfriend and he playfully smacked his chest. Shin smiled brightly, a teasing look in his deep eyes.
"We're in public, you two," you chuckled, shaking your head in amusement.
"But I'm bored," Dieter whined, big brown eyes rounding to try and appeal to your more understanding side.
"Babe, she's on a mission," said Shin gently. He gripped Dieter's thick fingers in his own and linked them together, calming him with a reassuring thumb on his knuckles. Dieter relaxed and rested his head on Shin's broad shoulder.
Your heart softened at the two of them, loving them more by the minute. When you first met Dieter, you didn't know he'd already had a partner. You were working as an assistant on a movie he was filming as a part time gig while you worked on getting your Bachelor's degree. Frankly, you got a little skeptical when he said his boyfriend would be "cool with it" if you joined them a couple of times in the bedroom. You didn't really know what that meant at the time, but what you did know was that that was five years ago now and you couldn't be happier.
Shin worked as a photographer for a magazine, which is how he and Dieter met a year before you came into the picture.
"I like this one, honey," Shin said softly, picking up a scented candle and showing it to you. You took it from his grasp and popped off the lid, letting the scent fill your nostrils. It went right to your head, calming you all over. "Right?" He smiled, watching your reaction.
Your cheeks warmed as you nodded. "Yeah. It's just vague enough that it'll satisfy her weird expectations, but it's also kind of nice," you snorted, placing it in your shopping basket.
"Why does your aunt gotta be so weird?" Dieter groaned. He started to get antsy, the edible he'd taken earlier starting to wear off. He hated holiday shopping. It was always too crowded and loud so he got overstimulated easily.
"We all have at least one in our families, right?" You sighed, coming over to give Dieter a kiss. "I'm sorry, Dee. We'll be done soon, I promise. Okay?" You pouted, cupping his scruffy cheeks gently. Dieter nodded jerkily, but he eased some with the promise of going back home. He couldn't wait to get into some pajamas (well, comfier than what he was currently wearing) and cuddling up with his partners on the couch while they watched A Christmas Story for the hundredth time.
"You go check out, I'll go sit with him on a bench outside the store, okay?" Shin offered. You agreed, watching as the two of them left hand in hand. This made you finish your transaction as soon as you could, standing in the line for way longer than should've been necessary. You'd been walking around this mall for at least two hours and your feet were starting to hurt.
Once you finished, you made your way out of the store. You felt a little out of breath and tired, just as ready as Dieter looked to get home. He was resting his head on Shin's shoulder and playing with a lock of hair that had come loose from the bun low on his head. Shin kept pressing kisses to Dieter's forehead between saying little things to make him giggle or smile.
Dieter's face lit up as he saw you approach them, that boyish smile on his face making your heart skip a beat. "Now we can leave," you exhaled.
"Fuck yes!" Dieter cheered, fist lifting into the air like he'd just kissed Claire at the end of The Breakfast Club. He laced his fingers with yours using his free hand, holding both of you tightly. "So, I was thinking we could order some pizza so we don't have to go anywhere else, and then…"
You looked over at Shin as your shared boyfriend's entire mood seemed to change, talking a mile a minute as you made your way through the alleyways of the mall. It didn't stop on the car ride home and even when you all changed into your pajamas. Shin was on the phone, standing in your kitchen, ordering the pizza Dieter was craving.
Once all three of you were sat on the couch, pizza on the coffee table in front of you, and the main menu screen of A Christmas Story on the TV, Dieter looked at you like you hung the moon. "I love you, babe," he said softly.
"What's with you getting all serious, huh? I love you, too, ya goof," you smiled.
Dieter shrugged, a sheepish smile on his face. "I dunno. Don't feel like I say it enough. I love you both," he smiled. Shin's face visibly softened, cupping Dieter's face to kiss him deeply. Then, just as Dieter started to melt into it, he pulled away and did the same to you, soft lips taking your breath away.
Dieter took his chance and kissed you just as hard, moaning into your mouth. "Maybe Christmas moves can wait?" He chuckled breathily against your lips. Shin nodded from behind him, pulling the collar of his pj's away so he could kiss along Dieter's freckled shoulder and collarbone.
"They can totally wait," you agreed, giggling as you ran off to your bedroom.
"Hey, wait for us!" Dieter scoffed, grabbing Shin's hand and pulling him down the hall.

You felt how his cock pulsed- your gummy walls hot as strings of cum shot deep into you, no doubt seeping into your very fertile womb. Rolan rutted, his thick cock throbbing- gushing, as all of his seed seeped into your welcoming hole, not pulling out, not caring about protection at all. And all you could do was wrap your sweat drenched legs around him as your very own orgasm wracked your body, your cunt milking the tiefling for every drop he has to offer.
You were a quivering, panting, and drooling mess when he finally decided to pull out of you. A trail of white left in his wake, his cum clinging to your reddened abused pussy lips.
“I- hells… please I- I can’t take much more…” You groaned, your legs dropping from his warm body, too exhausted to hold them up any longer. Lying on your back like the good whore you were for them, you tried to catch your breath. Your pussy still tingling from the abuse it just received- still clamping down around nothing, begging to be filled and punished once more…
As you moved your arm up to cover your face, you felt like you were burning despite all the sweat that clung to your skin, and your cunt felt as though it was filled with liquid fire…
“Looks like our pretty little bunny hasn’t had her fill yet.” Kieran said.
“I… Kieran…” You shivered as Rolan’s cum slipped from your fucked out hole and drooled down your ass, “m’need a break, i- i feel so full-“
Kieran only chuckled and ran a hand up your sweaty thigh, dipping a finger into your cum filled hole, “I think you can handle one more, little bunny. Right Rolan? Think our girl needs another good pounding to keep her nice and warm for the rest of the night?” His digit came out coated in Rolan’s sticky white cum, and without ever breaking eye contact with you, he brought it up to his lips, making a show of licking it clean.
Rolan’s face flushed as he watched Kieran lick his creamy seed off his fingers- his cock twitching in excitement, not even beginning to soften after his last release. His eyes roamed over your exhausted form, his gaze landing on your puffy cunt, glistening in his seed and your own juices, “Do… Do you want us to stop, my dear?”
You bit your lip as the cutest little pink blush spreads across your cheeks and chest, a stark contrast to the dark marks and bruises that littered your skin. Your thighs twitched as you spread your legs further apart, and you reached a hand up to Kieran.
Kieran took the hand that was offered to him and intertwined your fingers together, kissing your knuckles while his tail wrapped around Rolan’s cock. He looked at the wizard and smirked, watching him groan and bite his own lip, his cock already leaking with precum and throbbing, ready to go again.
Your eyes locked onto the tiefling who held your hand, “I… I don’t want to stop…” You turned your head, and looked to Rolan, “Pl-please keep using me” With your free hand, you reached down, spreading your puffy folds, giving the two tieflings a nice view of your cum filled pussy. You needed them- needed Kieran, needed Rolan- wanted them to use you. To fuck you, fill you, breed you, for Kieran to treat you like the dirty little cum slut you were- For Rolan to hold you after and whisper loving words in your ear…
Rolan swallowed hard and looked back at Kieran, a question in his eyes.
“Awh, does the good little wizard need permission to keep fucking our cum bucket? How precious are you-“
Rolan sneered slightly, “don’t call her tha-“
Kieran’s tail squeezed around the base of Rolan's cock and tugged, forcing him closer to the two of you. He chuckled as Rolan whimpered and bucked his hips, trying desperately to get some friction…
Grabbing Rolan by the horns, Kieran dragged him so that their lips were mere centimeters apart. Kieran was so close, Rolan could feel his hot breath ghost over his mouth as his cock throbbed- those fiery eyes peering into Rolan’s yellow ones, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to give that pretty little cock of yours the attention it deserves while I fuck a child into our little bunny.”
Tossing Rolan’s head to the side, he stood, looming over you like a dark god, as if he were ready to worship his most faithful follower, ready to take the sacrament, and give his offering.
Dragging you towards him, Kieran spread your legs further with his knees, his tail still wrapped around Rolan's cock. He grabbed your hands, and pinned them above your head with his, intertwining your fingers together, leaving you open and vulnerable to his every desire… He was going to have you scream his name, have you beg for him to fill you so full that you forget about Rolan.
He was a force of nature, a wildfire in a dry forest.
And he was about to ravage you.
Pulling Rolan in closer to get a good view, the tip on his tail flicked across the other tiefling's swollen head, smearing precum across it, making Rolan grip the sheets, moaning.
Kieran’s fat cock was so close now to your willing cunt- his precun trailing from his own swollen head to the entrance of your gaping hole- brushing his cock up and down your gooey slit before pushing in painfully slow… Letting you feel every ridge and bump as he stretched you even further, making room for him to pound you senseless. Your slick and Rolan's cum made it easy for his cock to slide inside- the excess dripping down your ass.
He was so much bigger than Rolan though- longer, thicker, and much more ridged, but Kieran took it slow, letting you feel each and every vein as it scraped along your overstimulated walls, each ridge catching on your tight entrance. The tip of his tail still teasing the other tiefling's weeping cock, the wizard's eyes focused solely on Kieran's thick member penetrating your pussy, watching as it was stretched and molded into the shape of the bastard’s cock.
With a gasp you gripped either side of Kieran’s chest, your body forgetting how tired it was. He was so hot- like a brand- branding your insides, filling you, stretching you, “K-Kieran~!”
And with a triumphant smirk, the cocky bastard thrust himself completely inside, bottoming out in one smooth motion. As Kieran thrust himself into you, the sea of cum inside you squelched and gushed out of your cunt around his cock that reached further than Rolan’s.
There was no room for Rolan’s cum… Continuing to bottom out inside you, Rolan’s load flooded over your pussy lips like an overfilled cup. Kieran began pumping the remains of his competition out of your saturated pussy in broad, filling strokes… He was taking you for himself, “Say what I wanna hear you say, be a good girl for me~”
The room filled with the filthy sound of his balls slapping against your ass- the squelching of his cock being buried in your sloppy hole, the sound of the mattress creaking and the bed slamming against the wall.
“Ngh!~ Kieran-“
Kieran slammed your hips down on his cock, hitting your cervix, forcing more of Rolan’s cum out of you, and making you wail. The wizard's cock pulsed and twitched as he watched, biting his lip and squeezing the sheets- the sight of you getting fucked like this turning him on even more… he hated it, but hells… his cock loved it.
Kieran smirked- his eyes flashing a dangerous shade of red as he slammed into you again, “You know what I like, doll~ don’t play dumb, now~ let me hear you sing- beg for my cum- beg for my kids, whore~”
Your eyes rolled back as the ridges of his cock dragged along your walls, his thrusts hitting something so deep inside you, “N’f-fuck me with y-your filthy fiendish cock- r-ruin me~”
His head tilts back, those sharp canines on display as he moans. You're doing such a good job, “And~ what else does our cute bunny want~?”
Your eyes meet his, his stare hungry, his grin wicked… Peering over his shoulder, your eyes meet with Rolan, his yellow eyes blown wide and glazed over… He looks so helpless- so turned on by the sight of his lover getting railed by someone else, “M’sorry Rolan… I- I-“
You felt warm fingers graze over your cheek, titling your face back to Kieran, “I wanna hear what my favorite girl wants~”
“F-fuck a hellspawn into m-my womb- make hah~ make me a mother-“
Kieran laughed, it was dark, and filled with a sick satisfaction- slamming into you again, forcing another glob of cum out, his hellish eyes finding Rolan's- “How could I possibly say no when she begs so nicely?”
A sharp intake of breath caught your attention.
Rolan collapsed next to you, his hands gripping the sheets tightly, his knuckles a pale red. Sweat beaded along his brow, and his face was flushed as he panted. His chest heaving, his eyes trained on the point where Kieran and you were joined- watching as the other tiefling thrust in and out of you, watching as his seed gushes out around Kieran’s cock...
He bit his lip and moaned at the touch of Kieran's tail. The appendage stroking his length with long, quick, strokes- coiling and uncoiling around his swollen cock- a string of precum hanging from the tip.
“Enjoying the show, Rolan?” Kieran asked, his clawed hand petting Rolan’s cheek like some good pup.
Rolan didn’t say a thing, instead his tail wrapped around Kieran's, squeezing tightly, as if he was holding onto the other tiefling's arm- his hips thrusting up, meeting Kieran's tail with each pump.
Kieran hummed, his gaze still focused on the other man, watching as he came undone by the sight of his lover and him, a smug smile pulling at the corner of his mouth, his tail stroking the wizard's cock faster- twisting around it tighter and tighter till it darkened in color, until the head of Rolan’s cock looked like it would burst~
As much as he loved the sight of Rolan losing his mind, he brought his attention back to you. His favorite plaything, his beautiful doll.
He held you down with his weight, his toned muscles working along your slick chest as he fucked you faster and harder. Every thrust pushing you further into the bed, inch by inch, until your body was pinned to the cum soaked mattress.
His thrusts became uneven, his breathing ragged, and his face twisted with a snarl, his teeth bared and his horns scraping along your collarbone as he bit down- biting down hard as he buried himself into you. Spilling himself- drowning your white stained walls with his thick, sticky cum…
Rolan's eyes went wide, his tail squeezing tightly around Kieran's…Watching as his seed shoot deep inside, watching as it mixed with his cum already there- filling your pussy, your womb… “magresham,” he groaned- his hips thrusting up one more time into Kieran’s makeshift cock sleeve… Ropes of his hot spunk splattered his stomach and sheets, coating Kieran's tail. His body going limp- the tail that held Kieran's falling away, but Kieran’s refused to let go of him, refusing to stop pumping him until Rolan was a sobbing, writhing, mess.
You screamed, the pressure becoming too much for you. Cum dribbled out of you- squirting out around his cock, the sheets now ruined beyond saving, and your body convulsed with pleasure as you came- milking the tiefling's cock with the aftershocks of your orgasm. Feeling how the bastard’s cum pools against your pulsing cervix… Welcoming his seed just as it did for Rolan’s…
Kieran's tongue slid over the teeth marks on your collar bone- tasting the iron and salt of your blood. He groaned at the taste, licking his lips and grinding his hips against yours, his tail still stroking Rolan’s softening cock.
You moaned softly, your cunt sensitive to every ridge and bump. Your vision slowly cleared, and your gaze fell on the tiefling who was enjoying the sweet taste of your wound, tiredly, they fell to the other who was a panting and sobbing mess, your ears filled with the sounds of the wet, squelching noises of a tail on a spent cock.
Kieran sighed as he finally pulled his tail from Rolan's cock, “you two are too easy~”
A soft mewl escaped your lips as Kieran slipped his now softened member out of your overstuffed pussy. A river of cum and seed flooding out of you and dripped onto the ruined sheets- the sticky mess seeping into the already stained mattress.
Rolan, though exhausted, brushed some hair from your face, his expression filled with worry, “Are- are you okay?”
You smiled softly, the look on his face making your heart flutter, “mhmm~”
He sighed, and rested his head next to yours, his eyes closing.
Kieran stood and stretched, the sound of his joints cracking loud enough to wake the dead, or in this case, the exhausted wizard and the thoroughly fucked bunny.
With a small frown, you reached a hand out to him, not wanting him to leave, even though he had already taken what he wanted.
Kieran arched his brow and smirked, “Don't tell me you still have more in ya?”
Your cheeks flushed a deep pink, and you shook your head, your hand reaching for his still, “pl-please don't go… Stay with me~”
With a chuckle, he took your hand and leaned down, capturing your lips with his. It was sweet, gentle- the kiss was different from any kiss he had ever given you. The tiefling pulled away, his hand cupping your cheek, his thumb stroking your bottom lip, a rare genuine smile on his face... “Is that what my girl wants?”
I had a lot of fun writing this! Decided to try a new format, style, because why not? Peppered in some of my thoughts on fandom behavior as well... Hope you enjoy!
