Caretaker, there was a line I saw on your blog a while back, to the effect of "Those who work in gardens know, it smells like shit where roses grow" which has been living in my head since. Is it original to you, so that I can properly credit if I end up making art based on it? Thanks!
Ahhh! I love this and I love you for sending it! I think I have an answer for you now, actually!! Remember way back when you actually sent me Seeds Of Unrest and I did that whole Edge x OFC x Christian thing? Well, hello to Yvette, Edge and Christian again.. This is kind of a newer / fresher look at it? I think we kinda.. danced around these three and this at some point on Discord and our talks actually inspired me to write this out for your answer. So.. Yeah.
There’s not really anything steamy here, just uh.. Heavy tension. That’s all.
Warnings:
Nothing, really.. Bear in mind that this is a vampire!edge & wolf!omega original character work, so things might... possibly.. get weird. Not in the sexual sense or anything, but like.. yes. Just weird. IE... The brood is portrayed here as an actual family coven of vampires.. And Luna is in a partnership with Gangrel.. And they’ve taken Edge and Christian in as their sons.. So it’s very much also a found family idea that I’ve had in mind for a while but never the guts to truly write..
Oh, wait.. yeah.. There are heavy hints that Orton is involved in this little tale somewhere, sooner or later... And it ends on a bit of a random cliffhanger, sorry!!

It was a little after 9 pm.
That feeling of unease hadn’t worn off. I kept telling myself that Randy wouldn’t dare cross over to the vampire side of town. But deep down, knowing how insane Randy could be at times… I couldn’t entirely convince myself he wouldn’t if he didn’t want something bad enough.
Three sharp raps at the door of the little house had me jumping at least two feet into the air and scrambling for an old wooden bat that leaned against the door.
Something Luna’s son brought over just when it started to get dark.
I could almost hear the dry tone to his voice then as he’d told me “If you won’t take a gun or keep a silver blade on you…” when he left it behind earlier.
Tiptoeing towards the window, I found myself peering through cheery red curtains and out into the darkness. In the distance, I could hear a lone howl and that had me tensing all over. The air felt heavy.
I was doing it again, letting my own fears get to me.
“The Alphas of our kind don’t typically come here. He isn’t lurking in the shadows. I need to get a grip.” I muttered it to myself, mostly to break the tension.
The door was being knocked on harder now.
I squeezed my eyes shut, hand shaking so bad I barely kept a hold of the wooden bat as I stepped towards it.
Sniffing the air had my body relaxing only slightly. It wasn’t the pungent and overpowering aroma of Randal or any of his pack mates come to steal me away in the darkness and drag me back to hell kicking and screaming that awaited me on the other side of the door.
Instead, I smelled old leather. Traces of copper that indicated that the surly man with the long blond locks who stood on the stoop must have just returned from either the blood bank or scouring the woods that lined the edge of the town square for deer or any other sort of game he could find.
It’s how they fed, Luna told me once. She never told me why and I never asked.
“Edge?” I questioned, my back pressed as heavily as I could get against the front door to the house until I was absolutely sure it was him and I wasn’t picking up on residual from his visit earlier in the evening.
“Yeah.” he answered.
I turned to face the door and took a few long and deep breaths to pull myself together. The bat fell to the parquet flooring with a quiet thud that seemed to echo all around the room and I rose to tiptoe, peering through the small pane of glass at the top of the door.
I wasn’t taking any chances.
I knew I was safer here than I was on my side of town, but… I also knew just how calculating and ruthless Randal could be when he set his sights on something and got an idea in his head. I knew that mimicking scents wasn’t below him. Neither was doing something to potentially harm Luna and her family, then using one of them to gain entry to the house I was currently hidden in.
If he really wanted to find me, a silly little thing like unspoken boundaries and code of conduct weren’t going to stop him. Not that he’d ever had a code of conduct to begin with. Or common decency, anything like that.
,,to be fair it didn’t stop you when you chose to go into hiding here, did it? You’re really only as safe as you choose to believe you are at any given moment. You know you’re putting Luna and her family at risk simply by being here. You know that sooner or later, Randal will find you. He is a monster, after all.” the reminder came just as Edge knocked a few more times, impatient.
“Just a second.” I finally managed to get the words out. I reached for the door knob and unlocked that, then I unlocked all 3 of the chain locks on the door and opened it just a slip, standing in it.
Edge stared down at me, arms folded over his chest. His eyes settled on the fallen bat nearby and he gave a dry chuckle.
“Is there something wrong?” I tilted my head slightly to gaze up at him, shuffling my feet.
My heart started to pound. I was all too well aware of the tension that radiated off of his body and I knew exactly why. Working with Luna meant I got to hear things now and then. One of those things being Edge’s struggle with going to donor blood or animal blood.
I don’t know why, exactly, but I found myself wondering whether my blood smelled weird to him. I’d been working with Luna for over a year now and I still hadn’t grown accustomed to the scent of her if I were being perfectly honest. And being on this side of town…
The scent of death. Old and new. It mingled heavily in the air.
I wasn’t used to it at all. I’m not sure I’ll ever be used to it.
Edge’s teeth snagged on his lower lip and he cleared his throat, again, a sign of impatience.
“Luna sent me over for tonight.” he explained as he nodded to the room behind me, indicating that he wanted to come inside. I swallowed hard and eyed him, shaking my head.
,, He’s not a threat to you… At least not in the way Randal would be right now.” the thought lingered and while I knew that, there was also this lingering air of danger and mystery that seemed to roll right off the man standing in front of me.
He left me unsettled.
I couldn’t figure out whether that was a good thing or a bad one, either…
After the tension seemed to get thicker to a point where I found myself breathing erratically, I stepped aside and let him into the living room. Edge shut the door behind him and sank down onto the sofa.
I sat down at the other end. Very careful not to invade his space.
The dim glow of the television set filled the room and silence seemed to settle in until he spoke up again.
“Luna had a bad feeling. Thinks you’re in danger.” Edge explained, almost immediately falling silent again. A thoughtful look on his face. I didn’t dare ask what was on his mind. I didn’t dare say what was on mine, either. But the thought was weighing down on me heavily.
,, Oh, I’m in danger alright.. In danger of crawling right out of my damn skin at any second because I can feel my heat beginning. Thank god I have my suppressant patches and I got away from my side of town in time...” just the mere thought had my face burning hot and I didn’t dare meet his gaze. I cleared my throat and spoke up.
I got the distinct feeling that I probably didn’t want to hear his answer, but I knew I had to ask. I had to know if Luna had been feeling off all day too.
“Did she happen to mention why, exactly?” I asked the question in a series of shaky breaths.
My heart pounded harder against my chest. My mind filled and spun with the possibilities. Had Randal and his pack mates found out where I currently hid?
Edge eyed me and shrugged. “All she told me was that she felt like you were in danger tonight.”
I couldn’t help but stare at him out of the corner of my eyes. Studying him intently, searching for any possible hint whether I’d just caused problems for Luna and her family. Edge’s chuckle drew me out of my thoughtful daze.
“What?”
“You. You do realize if we wanted you dead or if we wanted to turn you, you’d be one of us or dead already, right?” Edge shrugged as he mentioned it.
I nodded. Dragging my hands through my hair, I spoke up quietly.
“It’s not so much you guys as it is… The threat me being here poses to you all.” I fell silent, grumbling to myself and pouting a little when Edge nearly doubled over, laughter so hard that he shook a little.
He stopped and the laughter died away. His eyes roamed over me slowly. Carefully.
I tensed and gulped under his gaze. If I thought my cheeks burned hot before, they burned so much hotter now under the gaze. He was moving closer to me.
“You really think we can’t handle a pack of mangy animals?” Edge asked the question as he shook his head in amused disbelief.
“I didn’t mean it like that, I…” I stammered, nervous. Getting more nervous with each second that passed. Because he seemed to get closer.
Sitting taller.
My eyes left his and settled on his mouth. The faintest hint of blood at the corners of his mouth a very real warning of the danger he was to me.
But the animal within didn’t seem to care.
She felt amused. Satisfied. Curious. And oh so dangerously attracted to the vampire sitting to my left. ,, almost as equally attracted as she was to his brother, who’d come by earlier, right after he left the first time..” the knowledge of this had me curious. Wondering what was up with that. Telling myself that it was probably just purely physical.. But knowing that was wrong because for whatever reason... I felt this.. Pull... to both men.
I realized that Edge wasn’t the only one moving closer around the same time that the side of my leg brushed against his and the door was being knocked on, yet again. Edge raised a finger to his lips and muttered quietly, “Shhh. Don’t move. Stay put.” as he got up and strode over towards the door.
I tensed even more.
Not that I’d ever fully felt the tension leave my body. Just changing… From one form of tension to another.
I watched that front door like my life depended on it, only letting out a few long and ragged breaths when Luna’s other son Cristian stepped into the room.
And while I may have relaxed slightly, I was still in control of myself enough to know that either way I sliced things currently, I was still in danger.
,, but you’re safer here in this little house on this side of town than you are on your own. Here, you have freedom. You’re not just some little breeder who is frowned upon because she stubbornly refuses to breed with the first Alpha to pay her a passing glance… ”
If that Alpha had been anyone other than Randal Orton, I may well have caved in.
Cristian cleared his throat and flashed me that megawatt grin, immediately flopping down on the right end of the couch after walking into the living room. He sprawled out, an arm going around the back of the couch lazily.
“Looks like you’re stuck with two stiffs tonight, princess.” Cristian teased, giving me a playful little wink as he held my gaze for more than a few seconds. I couldn’t help but stare right back at the man.
Edge grumbled to himself but flopped down onto the other side of the couch. I tried to focus on the television, on anything but the… sheer magnets pull I felt to both brothers.
I could feel the two glaring daggers at each other over my head and on more than one occasion, I almost spoke up about it.
“Blondie here thinks we’re afraid of a few little mangy mutt assholes, Cris.” Edge chuckled, a teasing look when those almost golden brown eyes locked on me. I shifted around in my spot between the two of them.
“I never said that.”
“You did. I mean, kind of.” Edge explained, chuckling in amusement.
I needed to catch my breath. Pull myself together. Cristian’s hand brushed against my shoulder and the touch felt like an icy jolt. His arm remained around me, pulling me into his side just a little more, brazenly.
Edge’s leg was pressed against the side of mine and that jolt only doubled. And if I thought Christian were being more brazen and the bigger flirt, I was mistaken, because Edge’s hand settled on my leg, giving a squeeze almost playfully.
I pulled myself off the sofa and spoke up.
“Popcorn. I think I’m going to go get myself some from the kitchen… Yeah… that’s what I’m gonna do.”
And as soon as I said it, I hurried out of the room as fast as my feet would carry me. I needed to pull myself together. Catch my breath. I couldn’t even think straight between the two handsome men... And that in itself was a very, very dangerous thing right now.
If I understand this correctly... Rain and Viridis, 😊
😊 five times my muse almost smiled at yours, and one time they did
The first time Rain’s new to Vesuvia and still not sure about the atmosphere and he accidentally makes eye contact with Viridis and thinks he should probably give a pleasant face for the introduction but he throws himself too far off guard and he can only nod and greet them.
The second time he took too long to get the joke, not being as quick witted about this sort of thing as his brother, and by the time he understands that they’ve made a joke he’s too embarrassed to bring it up.
Third time they lent him a book and he got so flustered and caught up in the idea of the book that he forgot to fully thank them without a distracted look back to his hands, his mind fully away on the story he intends to read.
The fourth time he’s beginning to worry they think he’s a snob because they’re laughing and it’s definitely funny but he doesn’t know the other people around him and he feels very sure it’s a joke he’s not supposed to laugh at because he doesn’t know the other people and doesn’t know if the joke is directed at him.
The fifth time he doesn’t remember fully because he had a concussion and mostly remembers that Viridis encouraged him to keep talking about the stories and magics he was interested in so he would stay focused, but he was also throwing up and not feeling good so he couldn’t voice his appreciation properly.
When he finally does get to express himself properly, without getting too tangled up in his own anxiety Viridis had smiled themselves and understood the toll anxiety could take. He was finally able to let them know he appreciated them.
Thots & Shots: Kevin Owens, Jeff Hardy, and... Kenny Omega (just because I feel like being a troll). :P
Kevin Owens - zero, zilch, nada, nein... that man could literally beckon me with his finger and I’d be entranced... I mean.. 3. Because he’s moody and hot and like.. I’d have to have at least 3 drinks to work up my nerve. And convince myself I am not potat.
Jeff Hardy - zero, zilch, nada, nein... That man could breathe around me and BOOM. Preggo... I mean, 2. Because he’d pour on the charm so thick that I’d be ready to go before I even got the second drink all the way down. And honestly, if he wanted me, I don’t know I could hold out for the two drinks... oops rip.
Kenny Omega - I need ya’ll to know this. There is no amount of alcohol in the world that would make me get with Kenny Omega. None. He just does not appeal to me, not even slightly. I admire the hell out of his wrestling skills, I tolerate him in kayfabe, but I am... Not attracted to the guy at all. I can see why everyone else is, but that’s more Kenny for ya’ll, ya’ll can happily take him.
[ send me three character /actor/ wrestler/ musician names and I’ll tell you how many drinks it’d take to make me get in bed iwith each one ]
Well, darlin... if you're gonna make it that easy to complete the band babies set, then... B, E, D for both Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater. 😘
EEEE. I love you for sending me the other two band idiots to complete the set. This not only satisfies my perfectionist thing, but like.. I love them? So fuck yeah, let’s do this.
After this, B E and D are off the table for Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater/Heath Miller.
[ send me wrestlers and letters and get back filth ]

[ faq | masterlist | tag list doc ]
Drew McIntyre;
b - body, favorite part of his partner’s body and his own body
I don’t think he’d be able to pick just one part if he really loved someone. If I have to choose, I’m going to say that he’s into mouths. A great smile and a nice mouth really get to him. Particularly if the mouth in question is attached to really deep / bright / soulful eyes. So eyes and lips, you heard it here. It’s the lowkey romantic in him, me thinks.
e - experience, how much experience do they have
He’s got a good bit but.. he’s constantly picking up more. He’s willing to keep learning, keep doing whatever it takes to make sex with his partner feel amazing. Mind you, in saying this. Drew is hella picky.. So most of this experience is with a handfull of people, tops.
d - dirty secret, what’s a dirty secret they have?
Cock rings. That is all. Do what you will with that context.
Heath Slater;
b - body, favorite part of his partner’s body and his own body
Heath is into more or less what’s on the inside as opposed to what’s on the outside. If you’re a good person and you’re open hearted, chances are, he will wind up strongly attracted. Aside from this, he does have thing for hair. Loves to play with hair, so.. yeah.
e - experience, how much experience do they have
Heath has experience. He doesn’t have a whole lot with different people, because he tends to find one and stick with them, but. He’s always into trying new things with those partners lucky enough to be chosen. But he definitely has experience.
d - dirty secret, what’s a dirty secret they have?
If you want mindblowing, toe curling sex... Pick a fight with him first. Get all passionate and shouty and in his face about something. Will definitely bring that dominant side of his front and center, me thinks...
