She turns just as you reach her side, her arm snapping out at the very last moment.
It's like running into a brick wall. Her arm is solid like stone, and it doesn't falter as you ram into it, chest first. The force knocks the wind from your lungs and you buckle over, wheezing as your ribs ache.
Freja and MC making pumpkin spice snacks for everyone and bonding over their love for fall 😭 ❤️ 🍁
i gotchu fam (there's also a short Freja fall scenario on Patreon for $10+ :3)
"${Name}, that's too much pumpkin purée."
You bristle as Freja uses her 'Commanding Agent I'm Right You're Wrong' tone out, and you have to stop yourself from adding more as a reflex. "It'll be fine, Freja. They're pumpkin cookies, for Christ sake."
"Too much moisture will ruin them." She huffs and suddenly a pale, slender hand enters your vision, adding a touch more flour.
Your eye twitches as you set the can down hard and go back to mixing the dough. "Freja, I know how to make cookies."
"Hmph." She doesn't give a real response, but you can practically feel her urge to say otherwise.
Honestly, if she does, you might just dump the entire mixing bowl on her very pale head. You briefly muse about her with striking orange hair, before shaking the thought away before you get too tempted.
"It's mixed enough." You set the bowl down next to the other one which has a pale dough in it. "How exactly are you going to do this?"
"What is it Iri always says? 'No Magus reveals his tricks'?"
"I..." To be fair, that does sound like a way Iri would turn that phrase to befit her more. "I guess? I hope they come out right."
"They will." Her voice has a tone of dismissal, but when you don't leave as you're busy staring at her in disbelief, she adds more politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, your Highness." You sarcastically bow before running out of the kitchen as she rears back with a handful of flour.
Well. The cookies definitely turned out right. Pale ghosts sit in the center, with an orange outline you remember mixing the dough for. They're cute and tasty.
Now, to keep Blake and Iri from eating them all.
You smack Blake's hand as he goes for the pile you specifically left aside for Loche. "No. Bad werewolf."
"Excuse me? Did you just-"
"Do you think you can teach him some tricks, ${Name}?" Fawn asks casually, a glass of wine in one hand and a cookie in the other. "I'd particularly pay to see him learn to fetch."
You feign a thoughtful look, rubbing your chin as you look at Blake, his face growing steadily more outraged. "I could definitely try..."
"Just throw a bag of salt and vinegar chips or some snack cakes, he'll learn quickly enough," Freja comments dryly as she enters from the kitchen, carrying another tray of cookies.
Everyone but Blake and Freja cackles, but Freja does have a small smirk on her lips.
"Oh, you are so regretting that," Blake threatens, glaring at her.
She narrows her eyes... then scoffs. "Oh, please, you great big teddy bear. What're you going to do?"
"Pelt you with stuffing?" Iris offers, grinning when Blake turns on her... less so when he tackles her over the couch.
also i hope you guys know Freja LOVES fall. She tends to allocate more of her limited free time to baking during this time of year, and trust me, the team be eatin good
ROs play fuck, marry, kill with each other? MC not allowed as an answer. (Freja can pass on the fuck question if she doesn't wanna answer)
What would the ROs do if the MC telekinetically threw a snowball at them? Like, they can't see the MC anywhere but know it was that little shit.
MC and ROs are playing pool and RO reactions to MC who bends all over the pool table to make the shot. MC isn't doing it on purpose, they're just really competitive (Have you SEEN photos of professional pool players? Slut alert)
Assign the ROs + Sylvia +MC roles in a murder mystery game!
Oooh, cheeky qna? Excellent!
Blake: Fuck Loche, Marry Freja, Kill Adontis
Loche... doesn't understand the point of the game and doesn't give a response.
Freja: Fuck Blake, Marry Adontis, Kill Iri
Iri: Fuck Loche, Marry Blake, Kill Freja
Adontis: Fuck Blake, Marry Freja, Kill Fawn
Fawn: Fuck Freja, Marry Loche, Kill Iri
Blake would declare a war and there would be pranks galore in the house.
Loche would sigh very loudly. They do not like snow fights as they don't enjoy being cold and wet, so they'd likely just sulk back inside to avoid another one, lol.
Freja would be yelling a lot of curses, especially ones with MC's name in between them
Iri would also declare a prank war, and then would summon a storm of snowballs to bounce on MC's head.
Adontis would just sigh and swipe the snow off of his jacket.
Fawn would dial up the inhuman part of her senses and hunt MC, then proceed to pelt them with snowballs.
This is for a romancing MC!
Blake is OF COURSE staring at MC's ass not bothering to pay attention to much else, LMAO
Loche would be in the same boat at Blake, but it would such an intense stare I feel like MC definitely would notice
Freja doesn't think much of it!
Iri would probably say something like "If you stick your ass out any further, you'll just be asking for it to be slapped"
Adontis would definitely eye the curve of MC's ass... but would still be able to pay attention to the game and not be caught
Fawn would probably grab MC's ass and Freja would call a foul play HAH
MC: Detective
Sylvia: Victim
Blake: Detective
Loche: Killer
Freja: Detective
Iri: Victim
Adontis: Detective
Fawn: Killer
Thank you smsm for the asks!!! They were super fun!!! <3
Obligatory simple yet horny questions written in an unsexy way for the q&a, with the understanding that you don't have to answer all of these and that I have not stalked your tumblr in some time so they may already have answers. Also not actually in-character asks because I'm a rule breaker and a rebel:
1. It was a restless day, and a restless night. What does a typical wet dream for the ROs look like?
2. Most attractive thing for MC to wear for the ROs? And on that same note-- which of the ROs would and wouldn't wear lingerie?
3. What sorts of mundane, normal actions/behaviors would get the ROs unexpectedly worked up when its someone they like doing it?
4. ROs' most obscure kink? what weird shit are they lowkey into
5. Favorite non-bed location to bone?
6. because of a specific conversation we shall not repeat: breeding kink? Check yes or no
7. if called daddy/mommy which is recoiling in Disgust and which is like wait a second. hold on. interesting. hm. better reflect on this. (I'm part of the first group)
8 (my favorite): for those applicable: what are their most embarrassing or funny sex stories. Like, who fell off the bed and gave themself a concussion. the kind of story that takes 3 years together and an official commitment to even consider spilling. blackmail material
HI CHEL LOL
still cant believe u made that fucking rhyme-
This is if they are not romancing MC!
Blake... probably either a curvy, busty woman or a chubby man that's shorter than him, lol. Very much usually involves him on top and leading.
Loche... honestly, I don't think they have them often enough to have a typical one. If there is one it's probably a faceless person of the opposite gender and it's the same situation as they lived with in the Fae Realms, where the only relationships were sexual and one-offs, usually. In private.
Freja... lord have mercy, they're usually her favorite NSFW scenes in her smutty romance novels, but it's her in the leading lady's position. One that appears most often is her with a dress still partially on and a very ruggedly handsome man or tall woman ravaging her.
Iri... them being on the bottom. Does not matter what else is taking place, but they are on the bottom and usually with a more domineering partner.
Adontis... lingerie. Lots and lots of lingerie on faceless men and women in his dreams. Man just likes some skimpy fabric on people, what can I say?
Fawn can't dream.
Blake would want the MC to be wearing one of his shirts... and nothing else. Whatsoever. He'd be willing to wear lingerie but nothing that 'rides up in my ass'.
Loche similarly would just want MC in their clothes, or in a long t-shirt that goes to their upper thighs. They just really like that look. They'd be hesitant to wear lingerie, but if MC really wanted them to, they'd be willing to try smaller scale stuff.
Freja... is a big fan of MC wearing button down shirts with the first two to four buttons undone. That little strip of chest peaking out gets her heart racing. She is willing to wear lingerie, but will need some encouragement and for MC to go slow.
Iri would love to see MC in a teddy! Very big fan of them. Iri is also more than willing to wear lingerie and has several sets, actually!
Adontis would love to see MC in lingerie, specifically something he's picked out for them. Makes it all the more intimate, and he's a big fan of the idea of delayed gratification, and that would definitely play into it. He is not very willing to wear lingerie himself, however.
Fawn would just want MC naked, honestly, lol. Just give her easy access and she's more than happy. She is willing to wear lingerie, but MC will have to be the one to get it... and give it to her to wear.
For Blake, it's MC doing anything involving their lips, like licking them, chewing them, tapping or tracing them.
Loche... loves seeing MC playing with their hair. Their hands itch to be in their hair for a very different and far more intimate reason when they see it.
Freja... MC doing something physical. Exercising, working on a car or something else, anything that'd break a sweat.
Iri... I can't really think of anything for Iri. Hmmm..........
Adontis takes notice if MC is touching their neck or thighs. Especially if they're rubbing either.
Fawn... well, for them, fighting is pretty mundane, and it is definitely an instant kickstart to her libido if she sees MC training or actually kicking ass. Most especially if MC manages to best her while sparring.
OH BOY THE OBSCURE THINGS.......
Blake would 100% be down for pet play. With him being the pet. Not often, but every once in a while.
Loche... honestly, I think they're lowkey into getting caught with MC while they're having sex. Like, I think it would do A LOT for them and it would surprise the fuck out of them. It stems from the fact they're the one getting caught with specifically MC, however. It wouldn't do anything for them if it was someone else.
Freja... honestly, I can see her liking having her face pushed into the bed or pillows if things are getting rough. Not often, but uh... if it happened every once in a while, she'd love it.
Iri lowkey likes being fed.
Adontis... I'm NGL i could see Adontis loving the idea of either under-the-desk bjs type shit. His hand or MC's hand in the others pants at the dinner table. At public functions. Man's a bit of a freak.
Fawn would enjoy watching MC touch themselves, but would stop them before they finish. If they still managed to, however... she'd have to punish them.
Blake's is definitely in the back of a car.
Loche... probably out in the forest somewhere, especially at night. Less noise means they can hear more of MC's noises around them.
Freja... she's had many a fantasy of being fucked on a table.
Iri's would be probably a couch? Lots of fun maneuvering can be done on a couch.
Adontis would be his desk or in a chair. He is a fan of both.
Fawn likes walls. And floors. And tables. And cars. If she can get MC anywhere, she doesn't particularly care about the rest, lol.
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA-
Blake: Yes
Loche: Yes
Freja: Yes
Iri: No
Adontis: Not opposed to it
Fawn: No
Blake would be down with it.
Loche would be very much NOT into it.
Freja would be like "Just, no. No. Do not."
Iri would be a lil into it.
Adontis would not be into it.
Fawn would let MC get away with it if she's fucking them roughly.
Blake and his wife, when they were dating, tried to have sex on his bike. It ended with him getting a black eye and her spraining her ankle very badly, lol.
Loche doesn't really have one.
Freja has never had sex, so not applicable.
Iri... at their first Magi college, they and their roommate were on the desk... where one of Iri's lab experiments also were. It uh. Got knocked over and processed to melt a hole in the floor.
Adontis and his last wife were... having quite a bit of fun in a carriage, so much so it caused one of the wheels to come loose and they had to wait for a passing cart to help them, lol
Fawn was uh. Had a fellow agent propped up on a meeting room table, expecting it to be empty as she didn't see any meetings scheduled for the day. However, with her pager turned off, she didn't get the memo that an emergency meeting was being held in it and wasn't on schedule. Lo and behold, half-naked agent and half-naked Fawn get found by the entire team and half the fucking Proctor staff, as well as the SECOND-IN-COMMAND OVER THE ENTIRE ADVOCACY LOCATION THEY WERE AT.
Needless to say, Freja had a lot to say. Both in the room and after.
RO reactions if the MC was running full speed at them? Who is dodging, who is panicking, who lets the MC crash into them?
What specific Dad thing is Quinn best at: a. saying that he can trim a tree, there's no need to call a professional; b. talking about the Big Storm; c. inviting everyone over to see his new patio and grill
RO reactions if they're engaged in a classic cartoon chase - in and out of different doorways, up and down the corridors at different times, ending up outside, knocking over a local fruit stand.
SILLY QNA LETS GO!
Dodging: Freja, Adontis, Fawn
Panicking: Iri
Let's MC crash into them: Blake, Loche
DEFINITELY B. Old ass, goes on about how all his bones hurt because a big storm is coming. He's usually right though, much to MC's annoyance.
Blake is the one who absolutely runs out a window and pauses in thin air before yelling curses as he falls
Loche bursts into a room and teeters on the edge of the floor before falling into a pool of water
Freja is DEFINITELY the one coming and going out of random doors, seemingly stuck in a loop
Iri is the one who ends up knocking over a fruit stand or touches a partially built shed or something and it completely comes apart
Adontis is somehow walking on the ceiling????
Fawn has caught the one they're chasing and they're in a big cloud of dust fightin' it out
Where do you write most often? Where's your favorite place to write?
Coffee, tea, neither or both?
Is there an upcoming scene you're excited to write? Can you describe it without spoilers?
For the story:
Are any of the characters older than they physically appear? 👀👀👀 Secretly old as balls. (If I recall correctly Loche is p old, unless I have them mixed up with another IF) 😆😆😆
What powers does Iri have? Are these typical mage powers?
Besides Iri, is there anyone else on the team that thinks there's something up with the MC?
For me, oooh!
I actually write most often at work, these days. I work night audit at a hotel so I have a lot of free time to fill, so I spend it writing. I'm hoping I can try to write outside this fall, as the summer will be far too hot for it!
I like both coffee and tea, but I prefer coffee! Cold black or warm with a few creams.
GOD, there's so many scenes coming up that I want to write, but let's narrow it down to Chapter 7, for now. There's another investigation at the end of Chapter 7 with the team, and if you investigate with Blake, you can get some special lore dialogue only he can provide....
Oh, ALL of them are much older than they appear.
Blake is the youngest, but appears to be in his mid to late thirties.
Adontis is the oldest BY FAR but appears to be in his late thirties to early forties.
Loche is the second oldest, and appears to be in their mid to late thirties.
Iri is the second to youngest, and appears to be in their mid to late twenties.
Freja is in the middle but on the older side, and appears to be in her late twenties.
Fawn is in the middle but on the younger side, and appears to be in her late twenties to early thirties.
Iri has typical Magi powers, along with some... that aren't so typical, but those I can't discuss just yet, as I've not revealed that little detail to anyone I don't think. All Magi have elemental magic, but usually can only wield one or two elements, at best. Iri has mastered roughly three, and can do some with a fourth. These elements being life, fire, water, and light.
Somewhat! Loche thinks something is off, but they aren't sure what. Fawn thinks MC smells odd for a human, but has passed it off that it's due to their abilities being rather strong for a gifted human. Adontis finds it curious that they're so cagey and seem to have better reflexes than most humans, but he's wondering if it's part of being a gifted human, as they've been lead to believe.
Quite a few think MC's a little different, but only Iri knows for sure that something's up.
