fic I wish you'd write: Agency AU but with superpowers/supernatural twist? :D? starring whoever you feel like right now but I'm feeling particularly Jeremy, Gavin, and/or Ryan rn
Oh my God, I love this so much?
Jeremy starts out in this Agency AU as a cop, right? And he’s on a task for investigating ~strange homicides/missing persons, and things go Terribly Wrong.
They’re planning a raid on this location – warehouse or some such and everyone gets separated, their radios fail – just all kinds of fuckery.
Jeremy gets attacked by someone in the dark and bitten – he thinks it’s some guy on PCP or something similar because who fucking bites other people, right? The guy will not listen when Jeremy tells him to put his hands behind his head and whatnot, and Jeremy is forced to shoot him because he keeps attacking him.
And then he goes to find the rest of his task force and everyone’s dead or just missing and it’s a whole clusterfuck.
Afterward his bosses are clearly lying about what happened, and he gets put on other cases and no one’s looking into what happened???
He puts up with it for a while, but the whole thing keeps eating at him until he looks into on his own, and his bosses find out. Threaten to fire him if he keeps up with his private investigation but he quits instead.
Throws himself into solving this case – he lost good friends when everything went bad – and I the back of his head is this little voice telling him what a bad idea it is but he can’t not do this thing right?
And he ends up stumbling into this bigger mess that Gavin and Ryan are investigating with their agency.
Keeps seeing things from the corner of his eye – swears it’s a person, but when he turns to look it’s just a weird shadow being cast by everyday objects and the like. This black cat watching him from the top of a fence or some such, a raven perched in a tree. Some fuck-off huge dog skulking in the shadows.
(Strange that he sees them all over the city, but whatever. Weirder things and the whatnot.)
Slow shift from typical ~mystery story to urban fantasy shenanigans and Jeremy doesn’t realize it at first. Always has some explanation for whatever he happens to see, but even he has a hard time believing it after a while.
The baddies catch Jeremy when he gets too close and he’s dragged in to be the sacrifice in some ritual – summoning a demon or something along those lines because of fucking course – and this whole time he’s just like. Wondering what is wrong with all these loonies???
But then Gavin and Ryan show up to Save The Day, right?
Gavin’s got his knives – one’s got enough silver in it to give a werewolf a real bad night, the other has enough cold iron to make the fae think twice. Wood stakes and silver bullets and all kinds of weaponry for the supernatural creatures and whatsits.
“Really?”
“We like to be prepared.”
Jeremy is just like ??? because it’s Gavin and that fuck-off huge dog of his and he’s never seen that breed before???
Gavin is like Jeremy, pls, at him as he’s cutting him free of the the ropes binding him to the stone alter (really, what is with these people???) and the dog goes to town.
There’s a lot of screaming and whoever Gavin is, he’s not concerned about it, so uh. Thanks?
Gavin tells Jeremy to stick close while he goes after the leader of this group who had some sort of artifact and he does even though he’s not a hundred percent sure Gavin is a good guy. (But he doesn’t seem like he’s into the human sacrifice side of things, so that’s a point for him in Jeremy’s book.)
There’s this whole chase and standoff scene, but they catch the head baddie and Jeremy even saves Gavin’s life at some point – shoots some asshole trying to sneak up on him. Gavin gives Jeremy this surprised look and this little smile and Jeremy has this little oh no, he’s hot moment that is super inappropriate for the setting so he just shoves that aside for later, because wow, yeah.
In the aftermath Jeremy ends up at the agency with Gavin and meets his partner who’s looking a little rough around the edges, but Ryan seems nice enough. (And not just because he shares the donuts he brought wth him.)
Jeremy sits around for a bit until Geoff wanders in and starts asking him how he figured the bit about the vampire coven and their demon master and so on and Jeremy is just like ???
“What in the ever-loving hell are you talking about?”
He just thought it was a bunch of weirdos or kids who’d seen too many movies and the like and Geoff just stares at him like he’s a fucking idiot for a long, long time.
Goes to the door and yells until Gavin and Ryan show up and they all spend a long time explaining to Jeremy that hey, wow. NOT a bunch of crazy kids, and also, how dumb are you?
Jeremy being ??? and !!! and then
“Wait, I’m what?”
Because, look.
That time he got bitten? The guy was a vampire and how the hell do you not notice that you, too, are a vampire?
“Are you all on crack?”
And Ryan walking Jeremy through the whole Being a Vampire thing that Jeremy never really noticed?
He didn’t go out in the day much because the case he was working that went to hell involved a lot of night surveillance and so on. (Thought he was developing an allergic reaction to garlic, and so on and just all these clues and hints he missed – really loves his rare steaks – and convenient things because reasons.)
Everyone being amazed at how oblivious Jeremy is and Jeremy is like “So, wait. I’m a vampire now?”
Gavin laughing himself sick and Ryan not bothering to hide how amused he is – both at Jeremy’s Jeremy-ess and Geoff’s suffering.
Jeremy gets recruited into their agency – Geoff claims it’s to protect him from his own stupidity, but really, Jeremy wasn’t half bad at being a detective and Gavin and Ryan are willing to work with him which is like a minor miracle.
And the Jeremy realizes the cat he was seeing around was Alfredo who is a shapeshifter - “You’re a and fucking werecat???” and the raven was Trevor “A wereraven? Are you kidding me?” (More like the descendant to a trickster spirit, but sure. That works too.)
Michael’s a magic user and Lindsay is a literal trouble magnet. (More like chaos incarnate, but never leave her and Gavin alone for extended periods of time. EVER.)
Gavin is a medium who can talk to the dead and so on (and sighs at his code name, because Geoff is not funny but, yes, Phantom (lololol)).
Ryan is a werewolf.
“You saw me back in the warehouse? The others frequently make dog jokes and leave dog treats on my desk? How the hell is any of this a secret? (No, really. HOW.)
They gave him the code name Vagabond because he gets prickly over being called a lone wolf and someone thought it was funny. (Geoff.)
Jack is very human and yet no one dares cross him. (Fuck with him, sure, but they always pay for it.
Geoff is…
Look, Geoff is the world’s most long-suffering vampire and one look around at all the assholes he’s in charge of explains that, right.
Jeremy is this baby agent who is also a baby vampire and the agency mostly deals with supernatural cases, but every so often they get your run of the mill cases and Jeremy is like this isn’t so bad? (Also, Gavin is STILL hot and Ryan’s not that bad on the eyes and wacky shenanigans???
