"Put me down!" You scream, Jon had you over his shoulder and he was carrying you around despite your protests and softly hitting his back. You couldn't be mad, you were laughing as he tipped you gently on the best and hovered over you.
"Are you going to make up for that?" You were making out beforehand so you knew he was hot and flustered too, and needed a bit of a release.
âMake meâ Jon smirks, bending down and planting eager kisses trailing from you neck down.
âRemove the hand before I remove it for youâ in the Petrichor universe with Michael?
This is in the same universe as Petrichor, but itâs not the exact same canon, because in the original I had a few allusions of Michael and Lindsay being together, and this took a romantic turnâŠ
If youâre not super familiar with Petrichor, it is a modern fantasy AU with supernatural elements, and Geoff runs AH - a group of supernatural beings who act as a sort of pseudo police/gang group that monitors the supernatural presence of the city and deals with the stuff that the ânormalâ police wouldnât be able to, and whatnot.Â
Pairings: Michael J./ReaderWarnings: swearing, threatening violence, general warnings that should be given when Michael is involved. open ended, can be interpreted as kind of sad? idk, thatâs for you to decide for yourself.Â
Enjoy!

You were relatively new to Ramseyâs crew, but up until this point, you had gotten on with the rest of them like a house on fire.
Key words, of course, being âup until this point.âÂ
You werenât sure what you had done, but for some reason, Michael had taken a sudden and acute stance change from âfriendlyâ to âcompletely ignoring you.âÂ
As a fire nymph, you figured that the demon, whose original domain is bathed in fire and brimstone, would be the easiest person to become friends with. And at first, you thought that was true. Michael was charming, if a little hot-headed, and seemed to give you tiny, secret smiles when the others werenât looking. It made your heart flutter in time with your wings. It wasnât long after you started when he started saving you a muffin at breakfast when he knew that it was your favorite or sitting in the chair you had decided was your âfavoriteâ chair for briefing meetings until you arrived so that it was saved for you.Â
It was cute. Michael was cute. The two of you got along well. And it wasnât more than a few months into your employment with AH that you realized you were starting to like him, in a schoolgirl crush/romantic sort of way. At first, you were too scared to admit it to yourself, however eventually (with a lot of needling from Jeremy, who had accidentally discovered your crush), you decided to stick out an olive branch and see where it led.Â
But, as soon as you sent him a tiny, secret smile back one night after a particularly rough run-in with some Unseelie fae that had been causing a ruckus, the next morning - poof! - it was like you didnât exist.Â
And, frankly, after a week, it was starting to piss you off.Â
The first thing you did after you realized that no, this was not just a âMichael-being-moodyâ thing and was, in fact a âMichael-pointedly-ignoring-youâ thing, was go to Ryan. The vampire had been in charge of your little group outing, so he was the most logical person to ask if you had done something that would warrant Michael ignoring you.
When you had finally found the elusive Elder Vampire, holed up in his office (even though you had checked there thrice earlier and he had not been there before), he had just responded with a shrug and a wave of his hand.Â
âItâs Michael,â he stated with a frown as he fiddled with a gadget that looked to be at least a century older than you were, âI try not to figure him out anymore. Gives me too many headaches.âÂ
âYou say that about everyone.â You retorted shortly, hands on your hips.
Ryan blew hair out of his face, finally looking up at you, âExactly. And youâre about to be added to that list of âeveryone.â Ask Gavin or something, I donât know.âÂ
â
Heeding Ryanâs advice, you waited a day or two to see if Michael got over his whatever, and when he hadnât, you set out in search of Gavin.
The siren, turns out, much easier to find.Â
âHmmâŠâ He pulled at his beard, looking off into the distance as you told him your tale. Something flashed across his unnaturally blue eyes - a glint of recognition, maybe? - but it was gone before you could have the time to pinpoint what you saw.Â
âWell?â You huffed, tapping your foot.
âI dunno. Heâs my Michael-boi, but he hasnât said much to me about it.â Gavin finally said with a shrug that looked suspiciously like Ryanâs had, dancing away before you had the chance to probe him for further information.
â
It seemed, however, that while your brief chat with Gavin brought you to a dead end, it had also amped up Michaelâs avoidance of you. Instead of just pretending you didnât exist, he had escalated to making every excuse to leave the room as soon as you entered, swapping out with others on scouts and missions, and so on.
You endured this for three more days before you couldnât take it anymore. Michael was in the kitchen, his back to you, and before you could realize what you were doing, you were striding towards him, cornering him in the kitchen.
âMichael, we need to talk -â You stated, putting your brave face on as you lightly grabbed his shoulder with your hand.Â
He spun around with faster reflexes than you knew he had and glared at you. His eyes seemed forever dark, an inky black had spread into his irises from his pupils. You took a split-second to decide whether or not pissing off the demon was worth it.
You decided it was.Â
âNo, we fucking donât. Remove the hand before I remove it for you.â Michael spat, trying to step away from you, but you were faster, reaching out and floating forward in time with his movements to latch onto his wrist, this time.â
âYes, we do! Iâm not leaving, Michael, not until I understand why youâre ignoring me.â You pushed, trying to portray your hurt and despair over his actions with your voice. If only he would understand.
âI said, get off!â Michael practically roared, wrenching out of your grip and you watched as his body began to smoke, inky black, and the smell of ash and fire burned your nostrils.Â
You knew it was supposed to be a threat, a warning. But Michael was forgetting that you were also made from fire. You let your own aura glow, your fiery wings revealing themselves, and you felt the flames licking at the tips of your fingers.
âI just want to understand, Michael! Why are you ignoring me?â Despite your own show of power, you pleaded, unsure of how to get through to the hot-headed demon.Â
The darkness that surrounded Michael vanished as quickly as it came, and he sagged back against the countertop, âI justâŠI like you, okay? I canât risk you getting hurt. I canât risk it happening, not again.â He sighed and brushed past you, and you, too in shock at his confession, let him go.Â
It took you a moment to bring yourself back together, but once you did, you went back to searching for Michael. No matter what he thought, the conversation wasnât over.
Trevor had been awake and traveling from the other side of the world for thirty-eight hours. When he finally arrived home you could almost see every hour etched into the dark circles under his eyes. But that didnât stop him from hugging you tightly and asking how your week without him had been; even if every other word was punctuated with a stifled yawn.
Without a word, you all but dragged him further into the house and to the living room where you urged him to lay down on the couch with you. You knew that he had to be physically and mentally exhausted not just from the trip home but the insane schedule that he had while over in Australia. So, you laid back on the couch and allowed him to stretch out along with you. His erratic hair tickling the underside of your chin.
You reached out for the remote and found something to put on the television, mostly as background noise, as all you really wanted to do was look at him. It had been a long week without him home and while the pictures and videos posted online were nice, having here in person was so much better.
âWhatâre you lookinâ at?â he mumbled, lifting his head.
Trevorâs dark brown eyes opened and closed slowly, the light of the television reflecting within them and I sort of smiled. He stared at you in confusion, blinking, his eyelashes brushing against your cheek.
âNothing."
You tried to hide your smile as best as you could. He rolled his eyes and nuzzled into your shoulder. You could feel reverberation from his chest as he shifted to press a soft, warm kiss to the hollow of your throat before he completely laid his head back down. After a few agonizing minutes as you were fearful to stir and disturb him, you felt him go limp and you smiled, cradling him to your chest.

A/N: Yâall can thank @trevorcollumns for this part actually being completed. Sheâs become a nagging motivation and I love her to pieces for keeping me inspired with this fic. She refuses to let my interest move elsewhere, and Iâm really thankful. Cya soon, my bitch. You can nag me in person soon!Â
The skull stares at you. Itâs black empty sockets screaming with a loneliness that is not only striking, but fearful. Like the creature it once was continues to lament over its last moments alive. Jaw dislocated and limp, but cries so loud theyâre deafening.
Ryan is right, the remnants of the animal before you hadnât fallen to an ordinary predator.
The grooves carved into itâs features wander like footpaths traipsed through familiarity, smooth and deliberate when unwrapping the skin from bone. Intelligent. Not clusters of claw marks in sets of threes and fours, and not the aftermath of clumsy teeth trying to keep a hold - but created with a precision that you just canât place.
Canât place, at least, until an outstretched finger touches the bone. All at once the base of your skull is left searing, a prickling pain that glides smoothly up the centre of your head, right over until coming to sting at the bridge of your nose. Along with it comes a heat that circles your neck, the hollow of your throat closing with the pressure of unseen fingers.
âFuck!â You recoil instantly, shuddering and hoping to pass the discomfort off as a reaction to the cold. The word slips from your lips before you can catch a breath, Ryan placing a cautionary hand against your lower back to stop you from toppling out of the crouch youâre folded into. âYouâre right, this isnât an animal⊠But why wouldnât whoever it is take the head?â
âY/N, come on.â Ryan gives you a concerned look. âWhyâre you freaking out? I was kidding about the murder mystery thing. Itâs probably just left over from a camper who needed a good meal.â
âIn this weather?â
He doesnât have a response.
Letting the hand he has against your back guide you into sitting, your legs guard the sides of the skull. You canât help following the grooves; pressing their image against the memories you have of those adorning the window frames of Motbury, and decorating the bodies youâre now too familiar with.
âWhy,â you ask again, reaching out to the bone again and pulling it into your lap, âwould someone meticulously remove the head of a creature, skin the skull, and not take it with them? Surely a hunter wouldnât chop off and clean the head before taking the body away. That doesnât make sense.â
He struggles, uncertain of what answer you might possibly want. Taking the skull from you, Ryan turns it over in his hands, examining the clean separation that had seen it removed from the spine in the dimming evening light. âWell,â he says, âmaybe he didnât need it.â
-
 The feeling of cobblestone pounds against the soles of your feet. Hard and aching in the cold. Bitter with every slap of your shoes as you run. The orange glow of streetlights trace the path you carve through the town, chasing the shadows you leave behind and playing in your hair. Scampering between your legs and leaping across the stone you bound over. Glinting against the black ice that has already managed to trip you twice, ground kissing the skin itâs left bruised across your hip and thigh.
Ryanâs confusion still rings in your ears. His alarmed expression, of which you had left in the snow as youâd rocketed to your feet and started moving, haunts the darkened spaced between houses and shop fronts.
Heâd snatched out, crumpling to his knees as youâd darted away.
Instead of explaining, youâd thrown him an incoherent response and reminder for him to join dinner that night with nothing else on your mind besides racing thoughts and a need to find Detective Dooley. To hurl definitive evidence at his feet and demand that he acknowledge the grooves that match those found clinging to buildings. To force him to address the links exposed by the timeline you and Michael had slaved over. To make him see, once and for all, that the removal of the head and the slaughter of animals oh so long ago has to mean something. It just had to.
 It had to.
 The skull, minor in its existence, brings the three factors theyâd been scratching their heads over together with clumsy a bow. Solidifying the concept of a copycat killer so much so that Jeremy will be unable to argue, and parading the fact that that whoever had been killing livestock hadnât upgraded to children, but had kept a clear line between those he hunts. One for food, and one for fun.
It isnât much, but it consumes you. Taking over your being and vibrating in your limbs, stretching tight across your icy cheekbones. But itâs more than the relief of a definitive copycat that spurs you on. Ryanâs comment had stirred something inside you. Flipped a switch and brought blinding possibilities you hadnât yet considered.
 If the killer didnât take the skulls of animals because he didnât need them or want them - he must have had a reason for collecting the heads that he does.
 Your rampant thoughts, along with your being, collide into the figure in front of you. So dizzy in your mind that it takes you a moment to register the shock, the man is already grunting and skirting past. Swallowed again by the night. A shake of your head sees the panic dislodge and recognition take its place.
âJeremy?â you call, waving a hand above your head and stumbling after him. âHey, wait up. Youâre just who Iâm looking for.â
He doesnât. Instead his head tucks deeper into his coat, shoulders hunched. The quickness of his pace is hard to match, but you manage.
"Slow down, J, I need to talk to you," you plead, catching his arm. But he still doesn't stop, shaking free and powering on into the snow. Recoiling, stung, you jam your hands into you pockets. "Are you kidding me? Câmon man, stop messing around. This is important."
âThen why don't you go and tell Ryan?â
The words burn, lashing out and leaving your skin raw.
âExcuse me?â you demand faintly, âwhat does Ryan have to do with anything?â
"I just figured," he starts, finally facing you with an expression set in stone, "that considering how close you've gotten, he's all you need."
âI'm trying to talk to you about the case, Detective. You know, the one where kids are dying? And you think now's a good time to go digging around in my personal life?â
"Why not?" he asks hollowly, and you take a step back. âWhy shouldn't I treat you like everyone else in this town? Iâd be covering all the bases like you want me to.â
âJesus Christ, Jeremy!â you snap, infuriated at the man who cowers from your anger for a brief moment. âWhat the fuck is your problem? Just because you fancy Ryan doesnât mean you get to be an ass to me!â
âFancy Ryan?â He almost laughs, but stops himself, instead settling for bewilderment. âWhat the fuck are you talking about?â
âStop it.â Your eyes narrow at his defence, in no mood for his denials. A sharp gesture of your hand cuts his confusion, letting it fall noisily to the floor. âYou know exactly what Iâm talking about.â Youâre seething, body desperate to pace and yet feet remaining rooted to the cold, frozen ground. Through the dark you struggle with his expression, equally hurt by his scowl as he is with your own. âJon already told me that youâre interested in him. Which is fucking fine, and I get that youâre hurting in this situation. But donât you dare go around being an absolute asshole to both of us, just because you canât get what you want. We have a job to do, and Iâm your friend.â
Heâs shaking his head, eyes wide and mouth pouted open. This time he canât stop the laugh, harsh and mocking in the nightâs biting air. âYouâre kidding? You think I donât like you guys hanging out because Iâm in love with Ryan?â
You stop, accepting his simple explanation with a tight nod. You resist the urge to shuffle guiltily, uncomfortable with confronting his feelings with such volatile accusations.
Jeremyâs jaw sets, fists balling by his side while he turns bitter. âOh, youâve caught me. Iâm interested in him, alright? Really really interested.â
A rattling sigh bounces from your lungs, falling flat in the snow. You knew this would be inevitable, and sucking in a breath and as much confidence as possible, you start the conversation youâd rather not have. âLook, Jeremy, Ryan and I-â
âIâm interested in him because heâs a person of interest, you fucking moron.â
The words stop, clinging to your tongue and scampering back down your throat before you can comprehend his vicious growl. âA person of interest? You mean-â
âI mean that youâve been trying to date a god damn murder suspect.â
âOh.â The shock expelled from your lips forms with a gentle pop, and with it his expression softens. Regretfully he gathers his apologies, rubbing them comfortingly into your arm. Tears well, but you donât let them fall, feeling them thicken in your throat. âWow J. I- I just⊠I canât believe this.â
âI know, Y/N, it was hard for me to accept too, but-â
You jerk away, skin stinging from his touch. Recoiling, a few stumbles steps see the fountain greet the back of your knees, accusations like daggers. âI canât believe youâd think your closest friend could be a part of this. That he could hurt children. After losing his own, for god sakes. What the fuck is wrong with you? Itâs like - Itâs like you donât even know him.â
âYeah, sure, lost his own, wha- youâre not listening, are you? Because you just obviously know him better, huh? All that time youâve spent together, all those nights stumbling home arm in arm - yeah, I fucking know about that because weâve got men watching his every fucking move so he doesnât kill another kid - it must mean that you know him better than me? Bearing in mind, Y/N, you were the one that dated a god damn serial killer and refused to accept it, not me. And it got people killed.â
Your spine straightens, bite so lethal he shrinks away. The sharp breath sears through your lungs, mind reeling from the night that haunts your dreams and forced you to run from all that you love as he jams it into your hands. Itâs your turn to ball your fists, clutching your coat close with the enraged whip of wind. It takes all you have not to launch across the space and punch him, to refrain from falling to your knees and screaming like thereâs no tomorrow.
When you speak your voice is low, far more threatening than intended, but appreciated all the same. âYeah, I guess I do know him better.â
Jeremy wants to snap back, but you donât let him.
âI must do, because I know what type of person he is, Jeremy. And heâs a damn good one. And I also know what obsessing over a case does to people like us. I was too blind to see Charlie for who he was, because I was too busy focusing on someone else. Someone innocent, remember? I chased him to the point where he couldnât handle the hounds and killed himself. Do you remember that, huh? Remember when we charged into his apartment and found him hanging, then got the call that my sister was dead all in the same hour?â
Jeremy doesnât speak, as frozen as the world around him. If he could swallow his comment, he would. Heâd forgotten the raw hurt, the agony in your eyes whenever youâd talk about your sister - and hadnât realised it was still as fresh as ever. He canât look at you anymore, glaring at his fingers as they slowly blotch purple. And you donât look at him, either. Canât stand his guilt, canât stand seeing him the way he was all those years ago, watching your sisterâs blood coat his hands after heâd done all he could to save her.
âI wonât let you make the same mistakes I did, Jeremy. I wonât let you drive yourself, or Ryan, into madness, just because you donât know how to stop and see a bigger picture.â You turn to leave, stopping only to spit your final remark into the street youâre desperate to escape. âOh, and once youâre done condemning Ryan you might want to talk to him, seeing as heâs just found the evidence we need to link the killer as a copycat to the Widow of the Woods story.â
Hey guys... I've been ridiculously inactive, like a year or longer, and I am very sorry for that. Life and lack of motivation/inspiration to write has gotten in the way.
So, my solution is that I would like everyone to know that Submissions are open, please feel free to submit anything and everything Trevor Collins Fanfiction related. I also have some requests from forever and a day ago that I will post without response so that if you find inspiration from such requests, you can jump on board.
I was considering giving this blog away but its a secondary blog and in order to give it away I would have to give away the main as well, which I still use on the daily for random-ass shit.
This can now be a community blog for are favourite Trevor Boy.
Hi! Can I request were the reader is another content producer for another company on the internet and over years she and Burnie have had a personal dislike of each other for whatever reasons. So when they are on stage or on set together for a con or something everyone expects a fight but they actually find common ground and enjoy each other. (Not romantic btw)
You nearly rolled your eyes when you heard Burnie wouldbe sharing this panel with you. Jeez that guy was annoying.
You got comfy at the table and said âSo a lot of peoplehave been asking about my weight loss. So I bought a treadmill, put it in thelounge and spent my evenings playing games while running!â
âI did that too!â Burnie laughed âAlthough I did have tobe careful because I would sometimes walk off the machineâŠâ
âSame here! The number of times I nearly tripped over thecat as well!â you laughed.
Within minutes it felt like no one else was in the room,instead the conversation flowed naturally, and you enjoyed his company.
As you left the stage, Burnie caught you backstage âHey, doyou want to grab a coffee? I feel like we got off on the wrong foot when wefirst met and it would be nice to actually get to know you.â
You checked your schedule and agreed to a drink at alocal bar instead, maybe you could actually be friends with this guy eventually.
Just letting you all know that Iâm writing a sequel to something that I wrote almost a year ago but I feel like no one is going to read it but I've had this on my mind for months. oh well.Â
