god ik its a wm au but I would Love to hear more about beauyasha in this au.. also like what has yasha been up to on earth? how does she interact with beau and caleb before molly arrives? 💜🕊
>:)))! i can absolutely do so!!
so in the first two or so seasons before all the heaven/apocalypse stuff, beau and caleb met yasha in an episode. she never SAID she was a valkyrie but that’s what they assumed she was, since she had a lot of viking stuff on her and the accent and she sort of implied that. it’s what made sense at the time, especially because they had no signs that angels are a real thing.
then molly happens, and then when yasha shows back up again they recognize each other and WHAT! YASHA’S AN ANGEL ACTUALLY?? crazy.
basically what happened is that at around 200 bce or so, yasha fell in love. i’m gonna say that zuala was another angel in her garrison, and angels aren’t supposed to fall in love. they’re supposed to be conforming divine warriors who don’t have all the flaws (or strengths, or texture, or spark) that humans do.
zuala was painted as the main culprit in this transgression. rather than making her Fall (les mis voice) as lucifer fell (because by that point they didn’t want to add any more True demons to hell’s side) for punishment, they decide to just obliterate her a la the hellfire in the last scene of the good omens tv show. it isn’t pretty. yasha is made to watch. she screams, and it makes the sun flare.
the rest of the angels are going to have their memories wiped of her - including yasha - but she learns of this in time and breaks through the floor of heaven and plummets to earth. molly helps her escape, but manages to avoid getting caught doing so.
molly was in the same garrison as them, and his memory of zuala was wiped with the rest of them. he remembers yasha, remembers being fond of her, remembers that she left heaven voluntarily and that he helped her, but there’s so many blank spots. they have him move garrisons to the tomb-takers after that, who are very elite and militant, and he becomes a demon-killing expert. it’s meant to drown out all that. and it kind of works; molly remembers more of yasha when he sees her again on earth.
yasha falls and falls and her angel blade slips from her hand as she dematerializes. it plummets and falls deep into some wilderness. a glint streaking down from the shooting star in the sky that night.
what happens next is the thing that happened with anna - yasha has no vessel lined up and she wasn’t given permission to leave, and is swiftly getting her grace cut off by heaven, and her being is transformed into a human baby. she is born, and grows up in a little scandinavian village a little bit strange. her parents tell her how there was a huge shooting star the night she was born, how they think it’s a good omen form the gods, and she has a sense that she’s different - special. she’s strong and naturally gifted with the club and the axe and especially the sword - anything they put in her hands.
when she’s old enough, she’s chosen to go on their clan’s raids. she excels at getting the resources her village needs from the southern peoples. she’s a terror, and everyone knows that she’s blessed from above.
then one year, she gets separated from the raiding party and is making her way through the forest trying to make it back to the coast so she can find their boat. and out of the corner of her eye she sees a strange glint, and something in her pulls her to go to it. it’s a strange sword embedded in the rock, and she puts her hand on it, and pulls –
and memories and power flood into her. memories of zuala, of creation, of molly, of heaven’s gleaming pathways, of zuala, of the first things that crawled on land, of zuala, of the face of god, of zuala, zuala, zuala. smiling, flying, fighting, touching, burning. she screams. her howl echoes through the woods.
her people have been waiting for her back at the boat, because they can’t leave their best warrior behind. when she strides out of the woods, she’s different. she walks different, and has this power radiating from her. she climbs on the boat, tells them to go. she’s almost glowing a little bit. they row away, and yasha spends the entire journey staring up at the sky, out at the horizon.
after that day she’s different. even quieter. everyone assumes she had a holy experience that day, and she doesn’t disagree, because, well. after that day she’s keenly aware of the norse gods’ presences, and doesn’t age. when she realizes that everyone is moving forward towards death without her (humans seem so small now - she loves her human parents, she does, but remembering what the sun looked like in its infancy changes a viking), she leaves, and goes to asgard, and pledges herself to the ranks of valkyries. she’s not nearly as strong as she once was, but she’s strong enough to fit in with her new people, so she finds herself a place there among the aesir.
(side note im keeping my distance from how this world interacts with non-abrahamic religions - thats SO not my business - just know theyve got their own power and their own places that aren’t like. Beneath that of abrahamic god. because iirc spn was terrible about that) (also i say abrahamic bc iirc islam has a lot of angels and demonology in its culture but thats all im gonna say bc again: i am not a theology major, and this au is much more about the surface fun of it all rather than making any statements or assertions about ACTUAL religions (past or present) obviously) (also i’m never gonna mention jesus or the antichrist or whatever)
the angel blade is tied to her grace. her grace still exists up in heaven, locked away in the archives, so the blade still has its source. it also contains her love for zuala and molly and - and all that she loved before she was torn apart - and that fuels it, connects it to her. gives her access to its power. she’s mostly just sort of supernaturally stronger and can take more of a beating than a normal human, and on certain days/times of year she can fly short distances. days that were holy to her. she carves norse runes on her blade, because it’s hers now. she can’t age or die of old age, but she still does have human needs - food, water, sleep. she’s tough, but if she’s unlucky then she can be killed. luckily, she’s very good at fighting.
her wings… they’re not like they once were. being with the valkyries makes humans see them like other valkyries’, but the aesir can see them for what they are - decayed, fragile, skeletal things, with what remaining feathers there are barely hanging on. like her feathers in cr proper.
after ragnarok, when the surviving aesir meet in the fields of asgard, yasha thanks them for their hospitality, and returns to midgard. she wanders for a while, mostly by herself. she helps when she sees people who need her help, but mostly she just keeps herself alive and moving. quiet, contemplative. loving god’s creation even though heaven hurt her deeply. she spends years not speaking to anyone. what happened to the aesir was traumatizing to her, and she’s secure enough that she doesn’t need what they gave her when she was “younger.”
at some point she makes her way to north america. she wanders, builds cabins, and when she stumbles upon the opportunity she watches over what she once watched over. she’s aware of Hunters but is uninterested in them - they’re not hunting for food and while they help widows and the grieving that’s not their Business. not her business.
flash forward to early season 2. we know beau and caleb by this point and the basic premise of the show and the world. on a hunt in montana beau and caleb take shelter in a cabin during a snowstorm, and in the middle of the night the door opens. beau is taking watch and shoves a gun up in the intruder’s face - but it’s just yasha, holding a deer carcass and looking distinctly unimpressed. “you’re in my house.”
beau stutters an apology, caught entirely off guard by the 6′5″ mountain of a woman, and yasha shoulders past her to the table to stoke the fire and clean her kill. it’s her dinner for next month, yasha gruffly explains when beau asks what she’s doing. don’t like supermarkets.
caleb wakes up to beau helping yasha cut away the entrails. he is very frightened and confused, but when beau gives the all-clear he calms down a little. not entirely, because he knows this woman is beau’s type, and they’re still on a hunt.
they explain what they’re up to to yasha, who nods. says she’s noticed things have been strange. and beau helped her, so. she’ll help them. she’s also bored, and has a good feeling about these two.
so she helps out with the hunt, and throughout the episode beau clumsily flirts with her and yasha never turns her down but also never Flirts back. there’s a tension that’s mostly powered by beau but isn’t shut down by yasha (yasha thinks beau’s sweet and attractive, and she’s taken some human lovers over the last two millennia, but is still devoted to the memory of zuala. the audience doesn’t know that thought). she and caleb connect on a We Are Both Quiet Introverts level, like they do in actual cr (reminiscent of the shaving scene after bowlgate).
it isn’t until the end that caleb and beau think she’s anything but a mountain lady. then she pulls out a HUGE GLOWING SWORD carved with RUNES and THERE’S SOMETHING BEHIND HER THAT LOOKS LIKE WINGS? and then she nods, says goodbye, and walks away into the woods before caleb and beau can pepper her with questions about what the fuck just happened.
they run after her, but can’t find her or the cabin again. in the car ride back to civilization, caleb theorizes that she might be a valkyrie, and beau’s like yeah that sounds appropriately sexy.
yasha is a fan favorite. she had a whole focus episode and she was so mysterious and cool! the audience clamors for her to be brought back, and are sad when she doesn’t show up for the rest of season 2. beau and caleb mention her a couple times, so it’s made plain that she isn’t TOTALLY a one-off, but… hm!
beaujester shippers already existed by this point (jester was in season 1 and again in season 2), and beauyasha gains some popularity. beau having attractions to both of them is present in the show, but she isn’t dating either of them. there’s significance to both of them - they’re both people beau thinks of when she thinks of having Somebody.
a lot of fic about yasha is written between seasons 2 and 4, theorizing about her life as a valkyrie and what her and beau meeting up would be like… which is all then jossed when angels happen in season 4.
caleb gets taken to hell at the end of season 3 because of ikithon and for beau. during his last couple days on earth, he begs beau to find jester. or hell, yasha. don’t be alone, please. live and be happy. go get - go get powerlifted by one or both of them. i heard you sleeptalk enough about that. and beau tells him to shut up, don’t talk like that, i’ll - i’ll find a way to bring you back. and then you can see me get gay married or whatever it is you want me to do. because i’m gonna get you out of there. and caleb smiles, and his eyes say we both know you won’t.
there’s a whole genre of fic about jester or yasha (or both) comforting beau and settling into hunting/domesticity with her or helping her rescue caleb after caleb gets dragged away btw. idk why im making up fake fic about this au but you know what. i deserve this.
yasha is sort of put out of mind in the heaven excitement of season 4 and the arrival of molly as a third companion, turning their duo into a trio half the time. the apocalypse stuff isn’t quite happening yet btw (this is where i start diverging from the seasonal structure of spn), it’s just angels being real and caleb and beau being mysteriously important to them.
there is one point where during the beginning of an episode about halfway through the season where they’re regaling molly with a story of one of their hunts - beau is trying to embarrass caleb with a time he got enthralled by a siren, and caleb bats back with well, at least i didn’t let a giant woman with a dead deer push my gun aside so she could skin the thing with no enchantments on me at all. and beau’s like AW CMON DUDE DONT BRING YASH INTO THIS.
then there’s a shot where their bickering dialogue continues but the camera is focused on molly, who tilts his head a little, considering, then takes a sip of his orange juice (he hates coffee - too bitter! if he’s going to consume something to keep up the idea that he’s human, it’ll be something that tastes good!). then it cuts to the car.
it’s intentionally ambiguous if that’s about caleb getting seduced by a siren, beau being embarrassed, or whatever - it’s just an odd little moment. which is significant when they’re up north again, four episodes later, in a little restaurant off the highway, and they’ve just finished their meal and talk about the season plotline is happening when the door SLAMS open, and booted feet stomp across the dirty tile, strong legs in worn jeans, a huge backpack - beau’s eyes widen - and there’s yasha, striding directly to their table with a look of utmost focus and determination.
beau goes to stand, caleb’s brow furrows - yasha, what are you doing here - what’s going on - when, before they can act, molly stands up, causing the table to rock and their cups to slosh over. yashael! he exclaims, his face split in incredulous delight. you’re alive! you survived! you’re okay - it’s been millennia! what are you doing here?! oh, i don’t care, get over here. and he goes to her, and she hugs him, and beau and caleb are standing there, slack-jawed, as stony stoic yasha cracks a wide smile and hugs molly and lifts him off the ground.
did… did mollymauk just say ‘yashael?’ caleb says, stunned. molly is cradling yasha’s face in his hands, and her cheeks are round with joy. beau’s imagination could never have given her this smile, and she’s jealous a little bit, but also in awe, but mostly also trying to process the two puzzle pieces that just locked themselves together that she thought were totally separate from each other.
(relevant posts to their reunion: art, text, text)
from then on yasha is part of their group, at least for that season. there’s a lot of caleb and beau commiserating over their attraction to two LITERAL ANGELS - especially when the truth of yasha’s fall is revealed. beau is torn up inside about all of it - an ANGEL, for the first part, and her dead angel lover (how could beau ever compete with an ANGEL) and, oh christ, molly’s odd humoring of her crush on yasha is cast in a new light now.
and then jester comes back and… well, now beau’s torn between two hot girls who are both important in the grand scheme of things! yipes!
it takes a long time and there’s probably also some romantic drama in that triangle etc, but beauyaster is endgame. because i have a huge fucking brain.
rob you are killing me with this wmspn au I need like 80 thousand words of this Immediately ! Im in agony you're so good at Fic and Gay Yearning and Dynamics! like thank you for creating this au bc its glorious but also Please (also I love ur little drawings! so good! I love ur molly and his hair)
;__________________;!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS ASK… god im so glad other people like my rambling about all this because i have a lot of fun even with the uh… somewhat suspect inspiration lmao. but it’s my duty as a gay person to mine what gold i can find from fallow fields and plant it in my own garden.
i feel like i didnt get it across super well in the comic (i was busy watching the tonys) but basically back during the first season that molly was in (i tend to structure half my aus in “seasons” and “episodes” esp this one thats based off a tv show) he was just… blossoming like a flower, being in humanity.
he lost half his memory of heaven after rescuing caleb from hell (probably his arc for one season is trying to find the demon who made that happen to extract Answers so he can combat the other seraphim from his garrison (the tomb takers) who are trying to smite him and his friends, but back to the point) and was wandering around people’s pockets of heaven kind of confused and wondering what his Purpose was, because in this au he’s an angel and i think that angels would be built to be dependent on their Purpose. he grows away from this when/after he Falls but to start with… well. not knowing what’s going on is unfun. and then he heard Prayers for him (from caleb, guided by caduceus the psychic) and was like !!!
and then he got to know caleb and beau and their friends and their lives and their goals and he fell so thoroughly in love with humanity and the world, and this combined w his remaining knowledge of the beauty of creation made him fight so strongly for the world not to be destroyed. and the other angels back up top start cutting him off, and he starts losing his grace.
he really thought he was gonna do the equivalent of die when he lost all his grace, but beau&caleb did some sort of something that preserved him as a human at some sort of great cost. so after that happens he’s extremely torn between his sheer gratefulness at getting to keep his life, keep this self he’s built and keep seeing all the wonderful things in the world, and rage at beau&caleb for doing whatever they did. maybe they made a deal with a demon for info or something. it probably endangered one of them. so he has yasha take him on their OWN siblingesque journey and they’re the subplot of the next season or so.
beau was the one who was freaking out the most about molly dying, while caleb was keeping a lot of his terror and guilt about causing an angel to fall inside. repressed bastard. beau pushed and pushed to find a way to save molly (because she’s terrified of losing people and molly has done so much for her and hers), and caleb of course agreed to help researching, but beau really spearheaded the efforts.
then caleb found whatever method they used and beau was like “NO… well… maybe… no we SHOULDN’T… but…” while caleb settled into full “i will do whatever it takes to accomplish my goals, especially those regarding people i love” calebness. and usually beau reins that in (because those two rein each other in nigh constantly) - but this time she had a strong reason not to.
then molly got grievously injured helping them after a hunt or something went wrong and then, after he teleported the three of them to safety, couldn’t heal himself up. at all. he didn’t have enough grace. he was just coughing and bleed with this gaping wound in his chest. and it was terrifying, they thought he would die, they couldn’t reach yasha, and it was a lot of backseat first aid before he was out of the woods. and caleb and beau experienced what it would be like if molly died for their stupidity, and while molly rested in the backseat (not sleep - power saving mode, beau joked, and molly took to the term with glee), they quietly agreed that they’ll do what needs to be done.
anyway. the COMIC. basically when molly was early!molly and was so full of excitement at discovering the world and puppydog in love with caleb, he’d pretend to fall asleep on him in the backseat of the car, because he’s a sappy idiot. when he Fell, he still fell asleep in the backseat on occasion, but never on caleb, even when caleb was sat back there. he leaned away, against the window, streetlights and moonlight illuminating his face.
it’s for the best, caleb thinks, after all that’s happened, because caleb can’t give molly what he deserves, but it still aches.
I have a few things to say n they got long so a couple messages incoming ! 🧡 1) everything u say about the wmspn au I love it more, u r very talented and ur writing is always super engaging and fun!! 2) this is violently throwing me back to 2012 when I was repressed + obsessed with spn which feels appropriate tbh
3) I was on pinterest and saw 1! pin that made me think of this au and suddenly I have a whole board in the works? (which I hope is okay/isnt weird? I just love these vibes a lot, and I love indulging in spns aesthetic/lore for gay purposes) 4) do you have an idea for who the bobby-type figure is in this au? and 5) a v! important question: does frumpkin exist in this au?
DJSGHSDKJGHD thank you for this super lovely message!!! i’m glad you enjoy it!!!
YES YOU CAN MAKE A PINTEREST BOARD... WHAT... LINK ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
hm. probably nott? or maybe pumat sol?
nott works because she has The Emotional Connection and the paranoia that would function really well into making a bunker of survival supplies. her canon “fear/cowardice” links well with staying locked in her decked out house answering calls. i also think she’d be a very good counter to beau & caleb spending all their time with angels they’re in love with, because nott would be like “they’re DEMONS” and then when they’re definitely not demons she pivots to focusing on how every other angel is a dickbag. she’s very traditional. doesn’t go on hunts anymore (maybe she got turned into a werewolf a while back) but aids other hunters she knows - there’s an element of agoraphobia. caleb is her favorite, as one would expect, and she rarely picks up if beau calls instead of him.
i just really enjoy pumat and think that would be fun. maybe they’re both hunter hqs?
OOF... FRUMPY... he definitely should, but i don’t think he’d be a normal cat. in one of the earlier seasons (the one where we dig into what actually happened to caleb’s parents) caleb has a half-season arc where he keeps seeing a cat at coincidentally perfect moments, providing clues or aid exactly when he needs it. at first he’s super wary and cagey about it, as he is, but eventually buckles and tells beau, is of course pissed that he hid this REALLY STRANGE AND SUSPICIOUS phenomenon from her.
it’s revealed that the cat looks REALLY SIMILAR to the cat from his childhood. it’s the collection of all the love in his household and it’s sort of a spirit friend for him, protecting him and guiding him. it’s kind of the ghost of his parents, but not quite. it’s just love manifested. caleb is shellshocked and weepy when he finds this out, and that’s the first time the cat lets him touch it as it crawls up onto his lap.
he thought he had despoiled that house, that he’d betrayed his parents by worshiping the man who’d ended them, but they forgave him and loved him and now he has this little friend.
unfortunately frumpkin probably makes a heroic sacrifice and is properly laid to rest eventually :( but it does give him some element of peace. sweet frumpy.
of course, there are always little shots of caleb feeding street cats or acting like an idiot trying to get them to come to him. in all seasons. because KITTIES
I said to my mum "I just want her to wear trousers" n got a rant in return so I feel u (Im Praying they dont hyper-feminise her like they did missy)
mothers r wild honestly like wtf mine doesnt even fuck with dw she knows Nothing rlly ??? just what i say ??? so i was like ?????????
i feel u with that tho oh my gosh like keep it practical as well ??? i wldnt mind if they hadnt done it w missy but if they keep playing the “gallifreyans/time lords dont have gender” card and then play into gender stereotypes from our society its just Bad lmao
