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.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED BUDDY, LMFAO ILY

[cylawsonwrites]

apple nerd with one more question -

RO reactions if they peeled an apple and threw the peel to see the initial of their "true love" and it was the MC's initial? (Real tradition, I don't think anyone does it anymore outside of fanfic and corny romance novels)

I don't think I saw your previous questions >:O but I will look for them, and answer this one, teehee!

I LOVE that idea, but I suck at peeling so I've never done it.

Blake would have a little grin on his face all evening, and would be very huggy-touchy-feely with MC for the rest of the night.

Loche isn't aware of this tradition, so if Iri or Blake pointed it out, Loche would be rather tense for the rest of the night, and be wondering how a damned apple could know such a thing.

Freja is the lover of corny and romantic things, so if she did this and saw that... I imagine she'd try to not to think too much on it, and then proceed to think on it a lot.

Iri would immediately run to MC to tell them and ask when they want the wedding date, jokingly, but acting half-serious to throw MC off.

Adontis would not really hold anything to it. He doesn't believe in such traditions, really.

Fawn would also not hold anything to it, and if Iri mentioned it, she'd call them an idiot.

Thank you for the ask!!! <3

[cylawsonwrites]

What are the ROs' kinks? I found the ask about positions but it didn't include kinks.

Hehe, I'll give three for each RO, plus another if they have similar kinks to someone else!

Blake: Breeding, marking, and scratching. Specifically, MC leaving scratches on his back and arms.

Loche: Breeding, marking, and the act of having sex in front of mirror, where they can see all of MC. Plus one: being caught in the act when having sex with MC.

Freja: Clothed sex, edging, sensation play

Iri: Bondage, face fucking (generally someone doing it to them, but they'd be willing to do it to someone else), food play

Adontis: Blood play, biting, blindfolding his partners

Fawn: Marking, scratching, biting, overstimulating her partners, watching her partner masturbate.

:3

[cylawsonwrites]

Slightly cheeky q&a questions

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

[cylawsonwrites]

hi, sending a few for the q&a

Since there's only a few more chapters of book one and you're plotting the other books, can you describe book 2 badly or extremely out of context?

It's Saturday morning and there's no mission/work. What are the agents and Quinn and Sylvia doing? What time do they wake up? Are they breakfast people? Do they have their free day planned out?

lewd: when will be get to hold hands with the ROs?

lewd!!! What if the MC tells the RO they want to have fun in bed... and then they pull out the Scrabble set?

lewd (real this time): RO reactions if they walked by the MC's computer and the MC had run off and left a NSFW page up?

RO preferences on lingerie on their partner? Color, cut, style?

Do the ROs sleep in pajamas, undies or in the buff?

P.S. your scarves look so nice!!!

Book 2 badly or extremely out of context...

"LOCAL ALPHA GETS DRAGGED INTO YET ANOTHER WORLD-ENDING SCHEME, MORE AT 11-"

Hmmm, what are they doing on a free Saturday morning.....

Blake definitely slept in, then got up and gave his bike some well-needed love and care. It's honestly very relaxing to him, getting to take all the time he wants to work on his bike. Damned thing has saw him through since his youth, it deserves all the attention he can give it. Blake prefers to get up in the afternoon, and is definitely NOT a morning person. He generally spends free days on whatever comes to mind when he first gets up, or to get something he's put off for too long done.

Loche is probably taking a run through any nearby forestry in their leopard-like form. It's not very often they get to these days, but it starts to physically hurt after a while. To go from mostly being shifted to now doing so so rarely... it's been a hard adjustment for them. Loche prefers to be awake in the evening and night times, but has grown used to waking up in the mid-mornings, likely around 9-11 am. They might be a little tense in the mornings, and tend to be rather quiet until a few hours have passed. Loche usually spends their days off shifting for several hours, then moves onto doing a little study of human cultures, or relaxing, watching cooking shows. Loche isn't much of a cook, but they find cooking shows fascinating.

Freja is reading. She is most definitely cuddled up in her recliner in her room, snuggled in a comfy sweater and blanket, and is most certainly reading a new smutty romance novel that she's read good reviews about. Freja is usually up by 5-6 am, and is VERY much a morning person. Even on her days off, has a small but nutrient-dense breakfast, then goes to exercise (usually taking a 40 minute to a little over an hour run), and has time slots throughout the day to get up and do other things. However, outside of those time slots, she's welcome to do as she pleases... which is typically reading, lol.

Iri is either tuning their 'radio' to try to see what's going on in the Magi Cities, or is reading an alchemy book, writing down notes for future inventions to try. Iri is also a morning person, but usually gets up 7-8 am. They can't really eat solids in the morning, so they start the day off with a protein smoothie, then get to doing whatever it is they have planned for the day or whatever they'd put off for far too long.

Adontis likely has his blackout curtains drawn, sitting in the blissful silence of his sound-proofed room, drinking wine while he writes a several paged letter to send out later, when he's given his senses enough time to relax. Adontis... even though sunlight can't hurt him like it can young vampires, it's still fairly painful for his eyes. He tends to run the metaphorical ship during the night when Freja is sleeping, as it's just the easiest time for him to be out and about. He doesn't need much sleep, only a few hours a week if he's not used his abilities much, so he tends to pick up new hobbies to try. Currently, he's trying his hand at knitting, as he enjoys loom work and crocheting.

Fawn is probably watching something while carving new beads from bones she's picked up while on patrols previously. Might even get around to dying them the same day, should she feel like it. Fawn is someone who prefers night time, so if she's able to wake when she wants to, it'll be about 4-7 pm. Her powers are weaker in the day when the sun is at it's highest points, so she prefers to sleep through those hours (like the afternoon). She doesn't really plan much for her days off, either, just does whatever she feels like.

Quinn is probably fishing if it's the warmer months, or whittling in front of the fireplace if it's colder. He'll watch whatever Lainey puts on, which could be anything from True Crime to any number of Gordon Ramsay's shows. He is definitely a morning person, and generally wakes up around 5 AM and gets the coffee going for when Lainey wakes up a little later on. The only thing he plans for his days off is to make sure he relaxes some and tries to not think too much about work. Also makes sure to spend time with Lainey.

Sylvia... is probably going over to bug MC to watch or do something if they're off too, lol. If they aren't or aren't in the mood to, she'll eat breakfast, relax for a bit while making a list of things she needs to do throughout the coming week, then do some aerobics. I FULL-HEARTEDLY believe she owns Jane Fonda's OG workouts to use. After that... she might dance to some music, go outside and tend her garden, maybe watch something or have something on while she reads. She is definitely a morning person, and tends to wake up between 6-8 am on her days off.

I can definitely say you have a chance of holding hands with Fawn or Blake at the very end of Trepidation, but for a chance with most of the others, you will be waiting until Obsession (book 2). :3

I think Blake would look at the Scrabble board and immediately scoff and walk off, grumbling LOL

Loche has never played Scrabble and doesn't know really what it is other than Fawn hates it with a burning passion. They'd be confused and apprehensive to say the least.

Freja would shake her head and sit down to play, as she actually enjoys the game.

Iri would have a similar reaction to Blake, lol!

Adontis... would sit down, smiling all the while, and then spell out very naughty words on the board. The longer the game goes, the more descriptive they get.

Fawn... would grumble and throw the board in the trash before walking back to her room. Tough crowd.

Blake:

Loche: I cannot find one that conveys Loche's emotions, but it's MASS confusion and awkwardly walking away, LOL

Freja:

Iri:

Adontis:

Fawn:

Oooh, lingerie! (I am so sorry if these aren't very helpful, I have never really looked into lingerie until I started seeing more of it in passing on one of the YouTubers I follow for weight loss stuff.)

Blake does like lingerie. He would prefer MC wear something black and either very lacy or leaves just enough to the imagination. He also wants it to be something he can rip off easily and just buy them a new one later.

Loche... I can just say they have no preference, they're just thrilled MC would go so far as to wear something sensual to bed for them. I can absolutely see them giving MC money to buy new sets but to not let Loche see them until MC is wearing them.

Freja isn't much for lingerie, really! She'd find MC sexy wearing just a t-shirt as she would something meant to be sexy. Actually, I think lingerie would be a bit off-putting as she's not great with sensuality and sexuality as a whole.

Iri definitely prefers MC in deep purples or greens. I feel like they'd be a fan of teddies, especially.

Adontis loves lingerie. He'd want to see MC in deep reds or blacks, or other deep colors if it complimented him. I could easily see him having MC try on several different sets he's picked out for them, and I definitely see his gaze getting steadily heating up the entire time.

Fawn... I think she'd like to see MC in lingerie, if they wanted to wear it, but she's got no real favorites. Just something easy for her to take off, because if it isn't, she's going to tear it and she's not replacing it, lol.

Blake sleeps naked or in his boxers. Usually his boxers, just in case he has to run to the bathroom and doesn't want the team seeing his whole ass. If he's at one of the Advocacy buildings in his own room, then it's definitely naked.

Loche sleeps in a t-shirt and boxers, even fem Loche. Fem Loche is not a fan of how close to the skin women's underwear tends to be.

Freja tends to wear a spaghetti strap tank top with PJ shorts!

Iri does have PJ sets they wear sometimes, like full button down and pants or shorts, but they also have ones with t-shirts of cartoon characters and matching pants. Sometimes they sleep in just shorts, just depends on how hot or cold it is and their mood!

Adontis is definitely a PJ set sleeper. Silk ones, preferably, as they irritate his skin the least. Man's got some sets that costed over $1,000 by themselves.

Fawn... if it's warm, it's just underwear or shorts, tits out. The beasts will be freed as she does NOT feel like sweating all night. If it's cooler, she'll wear a tank or t-shirt with shorts. She doesn't really get cold, unless it's like below freezing.

Thank you for the asks!!! And thank you, my scarves take quite a bit of time to make, and I appreciate how complimented they've been! There's currently a 24% off sale until May 14th!

[cylawsonwrites]

happy almost birthday! squeezing in some q&a questions before it's too late.

you don't have to answer these: (saw you were playing Sun Haven) what's your favorite video game? what video game do you have the most hours in?

Game Qs:

Any idea how much time (in-game) your series will span? The events will be ongoing for a few years' time?

Will the MC ever meet another Alpha? Spoilers? Will the MC ever have the opportunity to look into why... Alphas disappear... once they enter the employment of the Advocacy?

Does Quinn have any cool scars? What are his hobbies?

Would Sylvia ever want to get matching BFF tattoos with the MC? Tasteful or tacky?

RO Qs:

How do ROs feel about an MC that likes to bite? Affectionate bites <3

ROs reaction if they and the MC got stuck somewhere overnight and it only made sense to sleep next to each other for warmth, but they woke up cuddling the MC?

ROs plan a romantic date night?

Someone is being annoying and persistent, hitting on the MC even though the Mc isn't interested. MC spots the RO and blurts out, "here comes my bf/gf/partner!" RO reactions?

The birthday has come! Let's get into these Qs, heheh!

My favorite game OF ALL TIME is definitely a tie between Pokemon Platinum and Fallout 4! Pokemon Platinum is the first game I ever had that I owned, and Fallout 4... god. I don't know, it's just so good??? Sun Haven is DEFINITELY in spot #2 though.

The game I have the most hours in... hmm. Probably Skyrim. I don't have them recorded because I played it mostly offline, but I know I have well over a thousand hours in it. How many exactly, the world may never know, though...

HMM. This is something I'm still debating! I know at least a year will. Maybe 2. I don't really know the time for each individual game in the series' time frame until I'm in the midst of planning and writing!

The MC WILL meet more Alphas! Actually, they have already, they just... don't know it yet. And yes. MC will indeed be looking into the rumored disappearances of Alphas... it's actually part of the main plotline in Book 4.

Quinn does have some pretty cool scars, with stories linked to each one! To go with the ask for his hobbies, he actually has small scars on his fingers from when he first learned to whittle as a child, and from some mishaps with putting bait on fishing hooks. He has a pretty gnarly scar on his ribs from his youth, when he was only a detective, before he even became his father's deputy. He was investigating the disappearance of a young man, down in a cave not far outside of Armington. He found that the man had been taken captive by a female Arachne... a spider-humanoid creature, and this particular variety has a nasty acid spitting capability. By the time he managed to get himself and the man out, it had eaten through his protective gear and hit the ribs.

As for hobbies though! Whittling, fishing, making sure MC isn't off doing something stupid again, and he likes reading horror or sci-fi books. He's a big fan of Stephen King and James Patterson.

Sylvia absolutely would get matching BFF tattoos with MC! She'd probably try to convince them to get something floral or related to birds in some way.

A BITEY MC... excellent. I'm ngl I would love to affectionately bite. Just a lil nibble.

Okay with it: Iri, Adontis

Has a thing for it: Blake, Fawn

Unsure of why or how it's affectionate, but allows it: Freja, Loche

AAAAAAA I LOVE THAT TROPE! I'm taking this as like crushing phase!

Blake... would be all for it. He'd actually probably snuggle closer and fall back to sleep. He is a very cuddly dude, and he sleeps easier when there's someone else in the room with him, especially someone he's romantically interested in. He might even give MC a very light kiss on the temple.

Loche... oh man. Their heart would be POUNDING and they would feel such an intense longing. They'd curl MC closer to them, gently running their scarred fingers ever so lightly over their face, memorizing every curve and dip. There would be a seed of hope down in their chest that this will eventually be something that happens every morning... if Loche can just tell MC the truth.

Freja would freeze. She wouldn't move an inch, she wouldn't even breathe. It'd take a few long moments for her to gently pry the MC's arm from around her waist and extract herself from the warmth of the covers. She'd cover them back up and proceed to leave them to sleep, her mind still replaying the incident over and over and over again.

Iri is a cuddlebug, just like Blake. They'd MORE than welcome MC cuddled up to them or being cuddled up to MC, even that early into their relationship. Iri would have the BIGGEST grin, then simply go back to sleep.

Adontis would wake, taking a moment to breathe in MC's scent, then realize just how close he is to MC. In fact, they're curled up to his chest, his arm keeping them close. He would softly smile, run his fingers through their hair, before easing his way out of the bed, making sure to pile the pillows around them and tucking the covers to keep the warmth in. It would be a memory he holds close, even deeper into the romance.

Fawn... hmm. She's a hard one. She'd stiffen for a moment, her senses wiring themselves up, before she realized what exactly is going on. She'd slowly relax, especially once her body and mind caught up to each other and she realized how comfortable she is with this. With them. She'd bury her nose in MC's hair and keep them close, until she felt them starting to wake. She'd move away, back to her side of the bed, and pretend to be sleeping.

A romantic date night....

Blake is a simple man, which I'm sure you've all figured out by now. He'd probably make dinner and have it outside on a cool but not chilly evening, fresh flowers on the center of the table, and he'd be waiting outside for the moment MC got home. He'd be close all through dinner, and would want to curl up on the couch with MC after, holding them close to his chest. Now, I can't say that when they get to the bedroom it's still gonna be all romantic and whatnot, but he does have their favorite candles on the nightstands and the dresser, and he washed all the bed linens and put fresh ones on. Simple man.

I'm going to be honest, Loche doesn't know much about romance. They're trying to learn, to figure things out for MC, because they want to know how humans show affection and love, so they can give that. They would rely heavily on the team for help, and would eventually decide to do something similar to Blake: Loche would ask Freja to help them make a dinner that is fitting for 'romance' (and Freja would be happy to help, she finds it very sweet and also she's a big romantic herself), have the table set with rose petals leading to it from the door, and probably would take Iri and Adontis's advice to offer MC a massage with warm oil.

Freja, Ms. Big Romantic at Heart, who loves her romance novels to bits... would have to wage war against her crippling social anxiety and fears of [redacted] to do the very best she can. She would have Adontis screen and handle calls for the night, so she can plan her method of attack. I can without a doubt say a hot bubble bath with MC's favorite candles and scents would be part of the night, MC's favorite meal cooked to perfection, and the two of them curling up together on the couch to pick back up on the show they've gotten super behind on. Lots of affection, starting slow as Freja relaxes.

Iri, Iri, Iri... definitely would take MC out to their favorite restaurant, and get them whatever the wanted, no holds barred. And when they get home? There's a full-body, sensual massage waiting for MC with oil and Iri's very warm, big, capable hands.

Adontis... I'm sure it's not surprising that Adontis is a man with expensive tastes. He would buy out the most beautiful point of whatever city or town they're in, have whatever meal MC would like whipped up to perfection, and he'd break out some of his oldest wines. Gentle music playing, the soft sounds of the night creatures, and talking. His hand would migrate to MC's thigh for most of the dinner, and when he gets them home... well. He's worshiping them until well into the wee morning hours, for however long they can handle.

Fawn. God, Fawn's questions are really making me think! Hmm. I definitely know she'd steal one of Adontis's finer wines, a sweet red, and would get flowers that remind her of MC to give to them. She'd have them two gifts: a painting she did of them that's probably not one MC would want the general public seeing, but it's not exactly sexual... just shows MC, through and through, how Fawn sees them; and something more utility-wise, like a knife she made herself or something to keep MC from harm. She's not one for romance, but she'd try to make sure MC knew how she feels about them, and would probably ask them what they wanted to do.

HMMMM, what stage is this? Crushing? Middle of the road? I'll do middle of the road.

Blake would probably nearly choke on his beer, but mostly from surprise. He's not been called a boyfriend in goddamn ages, and here is someone he's really wanting to be with yelling that that's what he is. He'd look between MC and the person pestering them, put two and two together, and go into Big Angry Werewolf Sort-Of-Kind-Of-Boyfriend mode. Very scary if you're on the receiving end, I mean, Blake was a biker for pretty much all of his 'human' years, and he never got out of the ruffian habits.

Loche doesn't socialize much, and the boyfriend/girlfriend/partner stuff is still something they're learning. Like, they know the baseline meaning, but hearing MC call them it wouldn't immediately spark something. Instead, they'd read the exasperation on MC's face and the blatant interest on the pesterers... and. Well. Loche is a lot scarier than Blake, as Loche does not go by the normal societal rules, and was instead brought up in a world where if someone is bothering the person you're involved with... well, sometimes it ends in the death of one of them.

Freja would freeze. Statue-level freeze; not a single part of her body would move, except her eyes. Her mind would be running wild, her heart beating rapidly, but her eyes would be taking in the scene before her. And she'd realize what exactly is going on. When her mind can get over the being called "girlfriend" bit, she'll haul ass over in her very prim and elegant manner, and make this annoyance feel lesser than a fly.

Iri would grin IMMEDIATELY. And would not take the aggressive stance. Oh, no, Iri likes a more... fun approach to things. So they'd swagger over, wrap their arm around MC's waist, and kiss their cheek and ask what all the fuss is about. Meanwhile, staring at the annoying person with such a cold look that they feel nailed in place.

Adontis... is a gentleman in all things. Except when the romance between him and MC starts to grow. Then, well, disrespecting MC is like slapping him in the face. And Adontis does not deal well with being disrespected. He'd give MC a warm smile and crook a brow, before coming to tower over the annoying person... and let them get a glimpse of just what his vampiric form can really look like. Needless to say, they'd be scared shitless.

And last but not least in any way, Fawn would not handle this with any grace. No, Fawn is a lot like Loche in her thinking, and the moment she sees how uncomfortable MC is? Her vision is going red. And she's planning to give one threat to the annoying person... and if they don't take the hint? She'll give them an asswhoopin' that they'll be smarting from for months to come. If she doesn't just y'know. /eyes emoji/

Thank you SO much for the questions and birthday wishes!!! I hope you enjoy the answers!!!

Hope it's ok to send in a bunch of asks for the birthday Q&A. 😊

If the ROs are having a pleasant dream, what are they dreaming of? If they're having a nightmare, what are they dreaming of?

Is there anything yearly that the ROs look forward to? (e.g. first spring strawberry, changing leaf color, hot weather?)

Is there anyone Sylvia wants to do but hasn't? What's stopping her?

How did the MC's parents meet? What drew them to each other?

If there's spoilers you can skip any question. Thank you!!!

It's perfectly fine, thank you for sending them <3

Blake's pleasant dreams are probably memories. From when he was younger, from when his wife was still alive. If MC is romancing him, they'll steadily fill his dreams, too. His nightmares are similar, but the worst times of his life. The monsters that he couldn't save people from. Finding out what his pack was doing, and taking the move to stop them. The scarier possibilities, like something horrible happening to his teammates.

Loche doesn't have many pleasant dreams. Even if they're 'good' dreams, they'll still wake with a pain in their chest they can barely bear. Memories of their sister, who they'll never see again, if she's even still alive. Most of their dreams revolve around the hell they lived through in the Fae Realms. They'll talk about it, eventually, if you ask them. Even Fawn doesn't know the extent to how horrific it was for them.

Freja's pleasant dreams definitely involve scenes from her favorite novels or the one she's reading currently, playing in her head, but with her as the main character. Her nightmares definitely involve her childhood, as it was definitely a very rough one. Or the cases she's never been able to solve, some dating back all the way to when she first became an Agent.

Iri's good dreams are probably like really strange LOL like they have Weird dreams but not unpleasant. They are fascinated by what their brain manages to conjure up when they're sleeping. Their nightmares revolve around how things are in the Magi world. The extreme classism, the way it's just common to look at Magi born with little or no magic as lesser than others. They are haunted by how they trusted one of the Magistrates to back them and help fuel the rebellion, but was instead double-crossed in the end.

Adontis has quite a few good dreams. A lot of them revolve around when his daughters were so small, and were forever pulling him along to their adventures. Some are of his still living daughter and how she tries to boss him around now that's she's grown. Sometimes he wakes up with a grin on his face just from dreaming about it. His nightmares... he can't make much sense of them, not really. They're from the early days of when he and the original vampires were first infected, but that's been so long ago that the only thing left in his mind of that era is the nightmarish parts his brain pulls out, and he can't tell if they're real or not.

Fawn doesn't really dream. She was always told skinwalkers are cursed and cut off from nature and the energies within it, leaving them barren of dreams. Sometimes of hope. She still has hope, but she can't recall dreaming since she was forcibly turned.

Blake looks forward to Mardi Gras every year! He takes time off to go down to New Orleans and grabs his mother and twin sister to pull along with him. They all three look forward to it because it's one of the few times he gets to visit every year.

I definitely think Loche likes when spring comes back around because everything starts growing leaves again. They find it interesting that the entire world just about it goes through seasons periodically, as the Fae Courts tend to exist in a state of whatever they represent. Even the Wilds didn't have anything in the way of seasons. So, actually, I think they look forward to the changing of each season, just because it happens!

Freja is definitely a spring lady. She likes seeing when the flowers first start blooming at the very end of spring, and she likes the beginning of summer too, especially in areas where people have small home gardens, since she can see the tomatoes starting to come out.

Iri looks forward to the summer solstice and Halloween! Generally, passage out and in to the Magi cities only happens around the equinoxes and solstice, for a week before and after each one. They look forward to the summer one as it's when their friends have free time to leave and they can visit them in the towns just outside the entries to the cities.

Adontis is a fan of fall and winter. Less sun means he can be out more without sacrificing his strength. Also makes it easier to see his coven and his daughter, as they're "newer" vampires and the sun has a grave affect on the youngest few.

Fawn looks forward to fall! She likes watching the leaves change and drop, so she can crunch them under her boots. It's also the perfect time of year to her: not too cold and not too hot, not too rainy, not too sunny. She is also a fan of Halloween, and every Halloween the team tries to take time to watch a bunch of horror movies, which she also looks forward to, as it lets her spend time with everyone without needing to think about conversation topics.

Sylvia hasn't felt much interest in anyone since her husband. Hell, even before him. She had been crushing on him since middle school, but they didn't get together until her senior year. (He was two years older.) She just... hasn't felt that way for anyone since him. And honestly? I don't even know if she wants to.

So, MC's parents met while their mother was still under the experimentation to try to militarize Alphas. Cyrus, their father, was a newer soldier, but was stationed to help keep an eye on how things were going. They had seen each other several times, but never spoke until while he was on a run, she caught up to him, and they really hit it off. And when the militarization efforts were shut down... he helped her escape. The Advocacy actually helped them get new names and identities so they could live peacefully... but things don't always turn out like you hope they will.

Thank you smsm!!! Hope you enjoy the answers <3 <3 <3

Hi! Happy early birthday! I thought of some Q&A questions. 1. What things are there to do in Armington? What are the popular hangout spots besides the Orchard Bar? 2. It's midnight, what is the cast doing? (I hope they're sleeping! But, you know... maybe not) 3. RO reactions to being exhausted/injured after a mission and being medically assigned a couple of days off? Who is grumpy, who is excited? What do they do with their forced time off?

Thank you!!! Let's getting into these asks!!!

Well, there's the old-school drive-in movies! Armington is one of the few places still keeping one up and running, and it's actually pretty popular, even brings in some tourists who haven't ever seen a drive-in movie or haven't since they were young! Every weekend, they play black and white classics, too!

There's the coast some people like to hangout at. Lots of driftwood makes for great bonfire nights. The rocky parts of the shoreline are beautiful in the mornings and evenings.

There's always the Square vendor stalls. New little stalls pop up often, as well as people selling stuff for years. The town hall lets people rent out small tents, chairs, and folding tables for about $20/day.

There's also a lot of hiking trails through the surrounding forests, and a few camping spots. One that's particularly popular sits on one of the cliffs looking out over the ocean, and has a river right next to it that you can watch feed into the ocean itself. Lot's of fishing in Armington, too.

At midnight? Hmmm...

Freja is definitely asleep. Probably has been for a few hours.

Blake is still up, probably eating pizza or ramen with... god knows what else in it while binge-watching something. Fawn might be watching it with him.

Adontis might be reading or practicing a new hobby if it's an off-day, otherwise he's picking up the work for the day where Freja left off.

Iri is either in bed or about to head to bed.

Loche is still up, but will be heading to bed in the next hour or two. Loche is probably outside, enjoying the quiet night air by their lonesome.

Blake isn't complaining, other than he's sore as all hell. He'll gladly take the time off, though.

Loche is ambivalent. It doesn't really bother them to take time off to let a wound heal, but they're also not necessarily excited about it; it's just something that they have to do to be able to go back to their work and to heal their body. Having time to let things heal isn't something they're used to, however.

Freja absolutely hates it and absolutely loves it. She herself is not happy about it, but one little itty bitty part of her brain is because it means some reading time. She'll accept it and she won't complain, but she'll put up a very good front for the first day until the 'evil' side takes over and she instead reads like ten or so books lol.

Iri is not complaining! But Iri doesn't like having a lot of downtime. Makes their head a little too loud. And they feel like there's so much more they should be doing, even if healing is what they need to do first.

Adontis wouldn't mind it. It probably wouldn't last very long, either; there's very few things that can cause lasting damage to him at this point. He'd probably spend it writing a letter to his daughter.

Fawn doesn't like it at all. She doesn't like being wounded or weaker than normal. She's VERY grumpy and everyone knows better than to bother her in her room for the first day or two. She'll relax a little bit as things start to heal, but she's still tense until she's released to service again.

Thank you for the asks!!! <3
