I want to see sams reaction when tara turns into that cute small werewolf 🥺
Fangs(a)
Ok. So, I know this was intended for 2a, but I had someone else also asking for this and I've been having Thoughts.
Realistically, that werewolf form is tiny, but it's still a werewolf which means that it's only tiny to other werewolves. But at the same time, I'm like, god, what if it really was that tiny. We deserve an absolutely tiny pupper Tara, right?
Anyway, what I'm saying is we now have path 2c where Tara is a werewolf and she's not a late bloomer, and we can get wolf Sam and Tara playing as kids.
From the moment Tara is born, tiny and whimpering - and too small the doula's whisper, you should go the hospital they say, but mother just scoffs and tells them that wolves need no human intervention and what will be will be - Sam falls in love.
Her little sister.
With soft infant kicks and big brown eyes and Sam's heart in slight little fingers.
Mother gets tired of holding her quickly and Sam relishes the opportunity to take her. A doula shows her how to hold her, how to support her head, and leaves the 5-year-old with her newborn baby sister. Her wolf inside howls.
Sam finds herself barely able to contain all the emotions welling inside of her, the wolf pushing against her skin, desperate to meet their new little sister too. She snaps at it, tells it to stop it, all too aware of the claws creeping from her nails, terrified of hurting the baby.
"You know you're 'sposed to stay inside if it's not the full moon," Sam mutters. "Mama said so." She feels the wolf huff inside of her. Not fair, it whines. We're the same. Want to meet Moon.
Sam frowns at the wolf's words. "The moon's not even out, it's daytime."
Little Moon.
The words confuse her, but she feels the nudge inside of her chest, prompting her to look back down to her sister. Sam's eyes flash with understanding, golden yellow hiding two behind one, gazing down at the infant.
Sam startles when amber eyes stare back up at her, and she snaps her head up looking around for her mother, for anyone, but they're alone.
She knew her sister was special from the moment she laid eyes on her, and this only proves it. Sam was 2 when she connected with her wolf, and that was early her mother told her, that it made her special, that it was only proof she was destined for greatness.
Tara's eyes close, letting loose a yawn and waving a tiny fist around. When her eyes open again, Sam's disappointed to find them faded and brown again. She wanted to see more, they were such a pretty shade.
Our Moon, the wolf declares.
The words feel significant, but she doesn't know why. Her mother returns before she has a chance to interrogate her own wolf for answers. (Mother doesn't like it when she talks to it, she says people don't do that, that she can't let anyone know that she does.) They're always so cryptic sometimes, acting as if they know more than Sam. But they are Sam, and Sam is the wolf. They're the same.
"Mama," she declares, "Tara is gonna be a great wolf!"
Her mother hums back at her, taking the baby from her arms. "You are going to be a great wolf."
I assume it will be kind of painful and sam would definitely be there
Fun fact, the first shift is always excruciatingly painful! That's why by nature their first shifts are so young, so that they don't remember it! With every shift it gets less and less painful. By the time they've shifted a dozen times, it doesn't hurt at all.
For born wolves.
For turned wolves... well.
In path 1, Sam inherits her wolfness from her father, and Tara is a human. Tara gets turned by another wolf in this path as late teen/young adult (exact ages currently undecided).
In path 2a, Sam inherits her wolfness from her mother, and Tara is just a late bloomer. She turns at 15.
In path 2b, Sam inherits her wolfness from her mother, but Tara does not. She'll never be a wolf here. But she certainly doesn't remain human 👀
Whenever Tara turns, you know Sam is there to comfort her as best she can and be there for her, helpless as she watches her sister suffer.
(I know this is a little complicated, but if you wanna send in questions and stuff please specify fangs 1 or fangs 2a or fangs 2b, or [other au] werewolf timeline) (that's not aimed at you asker, I just mean going forward for people, I'm the one making this complicated with all these timelines).
I can see tara and werewolf sam fighting over her chew toy since tara likes to chew stuff too
ASDFGHJKL
Tara has her own clean rubber chew toy (with a bit of rope tied around one end so wolf!Sam can pick it up without putting it her mouth), so she can join Sam when she's wolfed out.
In the wolf!Tara timelines, Sam just has to accept it's Tara's chew toy now. She pretends to be annoyed, but she'll wrap herself around her growling little sister munching on the toy and nip at her ears and grooming her as she plays.
After Tara turns, does she talk to her wolf like Sam does? Or is that strictly a Sam thing?
Sam being able to talk to her wolf is definitely a special thing that she has that other werewolves don't. In path 2c, yes, Tara will also be able to communicate with her wolf. I'm undecided about paths 1 and 2a.
Do you have a reference or picture about how werewolves look in your fangs au?
I LOVE you for asking that my friend, the answer is no though however asdfghjkl.
So my idea for what the werewolves are/look like has changed several times, because I'm an indecisive joke of a person. I discussed this with Bailey and they had Very Strong werewolf opinions and were persuasive, so I think I've landed on they're just giant wolves on the full moon. Outside of wolf form, they have enhanced senses and strength, and the ability to draw forth fangs/claws/glowing eyes.
This is modern-day werewolves. Werewolves of old are very much ya classic bipedal wolf monster things of chaos and destruction, shown under the read more. There is a reason for the difference between modern werewolves and how they used to look that may be explored throughout my werewolves AU's/timelines, who knows. I don't want to just straight up tell you guys, that's boring.
Their wolf form is only available on the full moon, although there are recorded situations of weres changing in times of great stress, and of them getting stuck in their form. Parents will tell their kids to behave or the Hell's Beast - a wolf that lost its way - will get them. There are rumours of wolves with great power who can change at will, though they are only rumours. None have ever been seen, or recorded.
Hi again:) I love me some werewolves so this is for Fangs for the support, each iteration of it! But I’m curious if you have decided what color eyes the girls would have. I know in some werewolf lore different eye color can mean different things. Anyway, love your stuff and you!
I love getting to make these very specific details, thank you for asking!! Click on the colours for the hex codes. These aren't fixed, just sort of what I'm imagining.
Wolf Tara gets amber eyes. Vampire her is garnet. Wolf Sam has gold eyes. Tara's eyes are darker whereas Sam's are more vibrant.
Red eyes for pack leaders - we'll say Alphas even though I know that's not a thing, it's just fun. There is a pack ritual where the wolf accepts their position as Alpha and their eyes change colour through the ceremony.
Most wolves have amber/yellow/brown eyes, although some have blue or green, it pretty much carries over from their human forms. Those with grey eyes will always have blue as a wolf.
I love the idea in Teen Wolf that wolves who have harmed innocents get blue eyes, but as people do have blue eyes and I'm having it carry over, I'm going with a silver for that.
You're a wonderful and amazing person, I checked your page for new posts everyday man. You should know that I'm literally in love with you and your works, it's a happy day when you post. Mwah.
One question, why did Tara eyes turn amber in that one post abt ffts 2c? Did she connect to her wolf or something? I'm very curious and I'm waiting day by day for new contents about path 2c 👀
That's very kind of you to say, I'm so glad I can bring you a little bit of happiness :) I've got lots of things to say about, well, literally every AU I have, it's just finding the time!! Rest assured, there will be more to come.
Tara's eyes are flashing because Sam's inner wolf was desperate to meet Tara - she looked down with her wolf eyes - so Tara's inner wolf responded! "We're the same." has a double meaning, it means Sam and her wolf are one and the same, but it also means Sam and Tara (and their wolves) are the same, unconstrained and special. Moon is also a word with a double meaning in wolf culture! 👀
