Happy 900 followers, Davie!!! If you're still taking fic requests how about a Team OG AU where Geoff owns a tattoo shop next to Jack's flower shop?

A/N: I saved this for last. I started with Team Og, I wanted to end it with Team Og. Thank you, sweetie.<3

The second time he takes note of it, it’s because of a customer who’s getting a Tetris block on his bicep. The man’s attractive, with a good sense of humor, and he doesn’t flinch once during it. Instead his warm eyes trace the tattoos down Geoff’s arm, asking the artist if any of them had a meaning or a big reason. After sharing a few stories of his own, he asked the customer the meaning behind the Tetris block. That’s how he finds out that one Jack Pattillo owns the flower shop next door and has the best red roses in town.

They start greeting each other in the mornings after that. Once Jack brings him breakfast and Geoff could almost say he fell for the man right then and there at the sight of free coffee. Geoff doesn’t need to be in this early- he doesn’t open for a few hours later, but it’s worth it for the way Jack’s eyes light up each time they spend a few minutes having a morning chat. It’s addicting to be the cause of that- so he wakes up earlier than he ever wants to, and keeps it up right until Jack realizes what he’s been doing.

Jack makes him sleep in after that. For a few days, Geoff worries that they’ll never talk again. He knows he’s an adult, he can walk over to the other’s shop at any time, but damn is the thought that he’s not wanted there scary. The worry is quickly wiped away when a stressed Jack invites him to lunch one day. Somehow lunch is even better- they get food, they get longer together, and neither of them are busy pulling things together for a shop about to open. There’s nothing between them to tear one away from their time together, just lunch hour coming to an end. 

It takes a few weeks for Geoff to break and ask Jack out. He’s not actually expecting the man to say yes. Or to start bringing him flowers when he opens- always a red rose, gloxinia, or a red tulip. Geoff keeps them in the same vase the first rose had resided in, refusing to remove any of them until they wilt away to nothing more than crumbled brown petals. Three months pass in dumb dating bliss before Jack comes back into the tattoo shop as a customer again, nervous for a reason Geoff can’t decipher. His bearded flower man gets another Tetris piece, connecting it right to the first one.

They move in together 5 months after that, an understanding between them that it’s not going to be easy. Not with their schedules. But both of them are willing to try and that’s all they need. A few weeks later it feels like Geoff’s never lived without Jack in his life, and it’s almost odd to think that he could have missed meeting such an amazing man. He goes out and buys a ring, hiding it away but knowing it’ll come up soon. Jack gets another Tetris piece added but still won’t tell him what it’s for.

When they’ve been dating for two years, Geoff gets on one knee in the flower shop. He does it at the worst possible time, while Jack’s busy with customers even, but somehow still gets a yes. He’s the luckiest man in the fucking world. That night he idly rambles about the insane possibility of combining their shops into one clusterfuck that wouldn’t make sense. Jack just laughs and twirls with his new ring, his face soft and full of awe. It takes a year for them to actually get married.

On their 5-year anniversary of getting together and their 2-year anniversary of getting married, Jack gets another Tetris piece added. This time Geoff knows what it means and he has to really force himself to pay attention because he’s so full of affection he feels like he might burst. Later that month Geoff gets a new tattoo added around his wrist to the sleeves he’s built up over the years. The artist warns him against it, tells him he’s going to regret it, and even almost refuses to do it. It takes more convincing than he’d like, but Geoff has a name on his right wrist- a name to match a flower shop owner with Tetris pieces to represent important milestones in his life down his bicep.

Hey Dave, could you write a Team Jones in the GTA!AU where Michael is a crime boss and Lindsay is an assassin? Lindsay's target is one of Michael's guys, so she kills them, which pisses Michael off so he tracks her down, and Lindsay lets him find her but only because she finds him amusing and very attractive. (That may or may not make any sense, I'm not really sure)

She knows he’s coming. She’s known he’d come since the moment she’d been handed the picture of her last target. Michael is unforgiving of moves made against him- even by freelancer assassins who hold no bias in this gang war of theirs. There are no neutrals to him, only For and Against. Lindsay has done contract work for him before. She knows exactly how he runs his little operation and knows exactly what would happen the moment she struck out. In fact, she’d planned on it.

The hit had been easy. Simple wipe out- no cleaning detail even. From there it’d been a bit harder to try to lay a trail that she knew only he would understand. A letter left open here, a game left abandoned there, anything and everything just short of writing her number on the wall. With any luck, he’d follow it and she’d have a great night. With no luck he’ll be too oblivious to her trail or care more about who had hired her. (He’d saved Ray once after the man had done a hit for him. Long story short, a gang was torn apart and Ray got a permanent job with Michael.)

Either way, there’s nothing she can do now but wait.

OK also if you have too many prompts you don't have to do this ( i also read your prompt guideline to be safe) JOELAY AU Where Joel is an Elder vampire and Ray is Human they Both fall in love with each other catch is Rays Blood is poisonous to Vampires and Humanity see's Ray as their Savior while Vampires wants to End him, And all poor joel wants is to Love his Ray freely you can end this however you want, Happy Halloween also ehehe ^^

A/N: I present Rayeo and Joeliet: Vampyre edition. 

They can’t be seen together. If they’re seen together both their lives will be forfeit, and neither will be able to stop it. They steal away moments- just moments because any longer and both will crave far too much more- in abandoned places and hidden corners. There will be no happy ending for them, but they can’t separate. Nor can they abandon the path laid before them and run. Even if they could, they’d be hunted and found practically instantly. Neither wants to put the other at risk. There’s no way out for them. No way they can solve this.

It won’t matter soon anyways, Joel knows. Not with the way he can hear Ray’s thumping pulse louder with each visit. Not with the way he can smell the coppery liquid just below the skin, calling to him though they know it’s poison. Not with the way he can taste iron against his tongue for hours after he’s left Ray alone. There is no forever. Not for Joel. Not for Ray.

They can keep playing the part of star crossed lovers for now, but the small time they have together is already ticking away.

Either joelay or mavin (or geoff/griffon) AU when someone touches their soulmate for the first time they get a matching tattoo in that spot and person A accidentally hits person B in the face, stomach, or other weird place they get matching tattoos

A/N: I wasn’t sure if you meant matching tattoos as in words/ink or like they get an imprint of the bodypart in that spot. So I went with imprint of a bodypart in that spot because nothing amuses me more than the idea that someone met their soulmate at a sleepover by accidentally stepping on their face.

Ray had always been careful touching others. He didn’t want to be one of those people with the tattoos that everyone made fun of, one who would be told it was in such a place because they weren’t “true” soulmates. So he kept his touching to a minimal, knowing the moment skin touched skin it’d be a nightmare. A few people in the office are prime examples.

Michael, for example, has a hand print around his neck. Gavin had just been trying to hang on to his shoulders and his hand had slipped, leaving them both looking like they’d just been choked constantly. Geoff’s was on his ass and it always stuck out from just above his pants, a girlish slim hand towards the left side. (Ray does his best to ignore it most days, not wanting to get asked why he was staring at a married man’s ass.) Kerry, Miles, and Monty all have lip prints on either cheek. Matt and Jeremy have an imprint of giving someone the finger on their right cheek.

Many more got lucky- for example, Kdin and Caleb have each other’s hand prints on their right hands from when Caleb had tried to help the other up. (After accidentally knocking him down in the first place.) Gus and Burnie have each other’s thigh prints on their left thigh. Barbara and Lindsay have each other’s knuckles across their shoulders. Jack and Adam have hand prints over their chests.

Ray wants to be like the second group. He wants to be someone who can go out in public without having to explain that he’s not in an abusive relationship. Without having to explain that the rude gesture on his face is unintentional. He just wants someone to see it, go ‘aww cute’, and leave it be. So he watches and measures his movements right until someone surprises him. He doesn’t mean to elbow them but it happens anyways.

He wasn’t supposed to get his soulmark this way. Joel looks mostly amused but Ray is freaking out because he’s got a red circle right in the middle of his chest that looks like he’s just starting effects make up on a Tony Stark cosplay. He was supposed to get a normal place- from a hand shake or a pat on the shoulder or a thumb at his hip. This wasn’t the plan he’d worked so hard to keep. Ray’s so freaked out he doesn’t really notice when Joel moves until he’s got lips pressed against his.

Maybe it’ll be okay to have such a weird soulmark- just as long as Joel keeps kissing him.

Hey Senpai, I know I already got a Drabble request, so feel free to ignore this one, but I saw the Matt and Jeremy RWBY AU, and all I could think was Team Building Exercise (Matt, Jeremy, Lindsay, and Kdin) as a team in the RWBY AU! Please and thank you!

Matt doesn’t know why he was chosen to be the leader of MJLK. Not because of any sort of self-loathing or worth issue, but because he’s not a leader type. He’s more of a damage and support kind of guy, one who makes a big enough effect to be helpful, but can’t draw aggro. Lindsay is much more of their tank. She faces everything head on, letting her weapon do the talking for her, and often indirectly leads them into battle. She would have been a good leader, he’s sure.

Kdin and Jeremy are both sneakier damage support, either able to swap out with her for short periods of time. They’re quick, light on their feet, and able to go ranged if necessary. They’re not really meant to be leaders either, but they could have stepped up to it, he thinks. All Matt really has behind him is a bit of tactical knowledge, which doesn’t do much good when no one can really hear him. He has to tell Jeremy or Kdin who will both shout it out so that often Lindsay can enact it and lead them into battle.

He figures he got chosen because LJMK sounds dumb, it’s the only explanation that makes sense.

Coffee shop AU where Geoff works in the back/owns the place and one of the lads (preferably Michael but could be Ray/Gav) works in front and is constantly hit on by customers and Geoff has to listen to it constantly but can't do anything to stop it. Cue jealousy/possessiveness

Geoff likes Jack, he reminded himself as he put himself elbow deep in flour. The man was a good friend and an even better customer. He knows that the cute boy upfront isn’t free but that doesn’t stop him from flirting with him anyways. Geoff grinds his teeth and tells himself it’s just friendly joking. He hears his boyfriend laugh- he sounds completely relaxed and happy- and he kneads the dough a little harder without thinking about it.

Jack doesn’t like Michael as anything more than a friend, Geoff whispers to himself as he works. He easily slips into the motions of baking, muttering to himself as he goes. Jack doesn’t like Michael, he’s about to be engaged to Ray if the Puerto Rican says yes. Jack is absolutely besotted with Ray and knows that doing anything with Michael isn’t worth the chance he’d lose him. Not that Jack wants to do anything with Michael, Geoff’s mind just won’t shut up because Jack’s making some dumb joke about how cherubish and adorable Geoff’s boyfriend looks like without a beard.

At least it’s one of the better, lighter days. Days with just Jack fake-hitting on Michael in the campiest way are okay and sometimes Geoff doesn’t feel jealous about it. Today’s just one of those rare days he feels like Jack is trying to seduce Michael away. On the worse, heavier days, it’s usually Gavin who sends Geoff over the edge with his fake talk about being married, having kids, and promises they’ll be each other’s bois forever. Gavin’s a great kid, he’s funny to talk to, but he also makes Geoff want to pull Michael and hide him away somewhere only he gets to speak with him.

If you're up for a creative challenge, I've never seen a centaur AU for the AH crew. No pairing need be involved, they could just be horsing around ;DDDD

A/N: I always have problems with these sort of prompts because they’re so vague and widecast that I just have no idea what to write for them.

Ryan’s had quite enough of the office. At first, he thought working with other half-humans would be nice. He’d never assumed it’d be totally accepting, but there was a limit of how many times he could get asked if he needed a good milking before he charged at someone. On the brightside, he’d learned early on to avoid Barbara. The filly was just full of bovine puns and was not against stretching for one. Right now, he’d probably take her puns over Ray calling him Betsy or Geoff’s ‘casual’ tab of cowbells left open on his computer. He was glad the centaurs were friendly, but he almost mourned not having horns.

Skewering other employees was probably frowned upon anyways.

Hey Davie! Do you think you could drabble some short Geoff/Ray? Something where Geoff is proved the best boyfriend ever. congrats on 900 :) --suomis.

A/N: You know, technically, this isn’t an au. But I do love you, so I’ll make an exception since you asked so nicely. <3

Ray was tired. He was tired, he was sore, and he just wanted to fall back into bed where no one would ask him where his audio file or if he’d finished the 5 facts or if he could record another part for some let’s play he didn’t care about. His head was absolutely pounding as if brain was trying to break out of it and just leave. Not that he blamed it, he was debating doing such himself. Especially since it was so hard not to doze while editing.

The hands on his shoulders surprised him enough that he jumped and pushed his chair back a bit, accidentally running over the toes of his boyfriend who was only trying to get his attention. Sagging his shoulders with guilt and exhaustion, he apologized and took off his headphones. Geoff frowned at him, leaning around the side of the chair to kiss his cheek.

"Close down." Geoff said.

"But I’ve still got-" Ray protested, running a hand through his hair.

"Nope. Hand whatever you’ve got for today off, you’re going home."

"Geoff, I’d love to but I’m already nearly done with it anyways-"

"Which means it’s just a tiny bit of work for someone else to get done and it won’t fuck with their day. Now come on, I mean it. Shut your fucking computer down, we’re going to dinner and then we’re going home so you can get some sleep."

"Aw man I get food?"

"If you shut down. Otherwise I’m feeding you to something instead. Hurry up, the sooner you get done the sooner we can go."

"I’m shutting down, I’m shutting down! Thanks, Geoff."

"Someone has to make sure you don’t fall asleep during a let’s play."

"Wow, and here I thought you cared."

"I care about assholes not doing their jobs."

"Love you too, Geoff."
