Again I'll be splitting this into two separate categories, Ashton as a Pollen and Ashton as a member of staff for the NRC greenhouse. The AU was made by @zackcarrion-key it's linked in her intro post.
Also I think this version of Ashton is more fanon because idk much about him in canon except people seem to dislike him very much and I just think he's a himbo if himbos could be narcissists and eat an unholy number of eggs. (although admittedly they could probably do the latter)
(Kronk is better though)
Ill refer to him with they/them pronouns as pollinics can have whatever sex they... 'spawn' with, I suppose.
Content warning for dubcon/noncon in the second part of the post, along with mentions of milking and overstimulation. Let me know if anything else should be tagged.
Anyways, spice under the cut! Minors DNI
1 - Ashton as a Pollinic
I can see Ashton pollinics coming from some hardier/larger plants such as trees, particularly pine trees as I think some sort of chemical for testosterone can be sourced from them (and Ashton is muscular af) along with the fact that I like how they smell and that's pretty much it. I can also see Ashton pollen coming along with various vegetable plants. Specially eggplants. Simply because this musclehead eats an unholy amount of eggs and I think its a funny reference.
(Also look at them and tell me that the male/futanari pollens wouldnt have monster cocks. If you do then you are lying to me, you are lying to yourself, and you are lying to whatever poor God is forced to look down upon us and see what the fuck we're doing.)
(shut up, the dick thing definitely didn't occur to me an hour after making the egg reference shhhh)
Yet another reason why I can see them coming from vegetable plants is their urge to keep their partners strong and, as a result, feeding them during some sessions if there are fresh, edible plants available. Of course, if there aren't any available then he'd simply resort to giving their partners plenty of their nectar seeing as they have a particularly high honey output.
These pollinics have a preference for more muscular or athletic people who seem to have taken good care of their physique. Along with that, anyone who's exercising nearby or doing some hard work (such as tilling soil on a farm) can be especially prone to their attention. Pine pollen just can't help but want to praise someone who works hard on physical activities - and what better way than to show them how much pleasure they can give them with their strength?
If you end up attracting the attention of this pollen, then be prepared for more physically demanding sex positions (for either partner!) they're particularly interested in standing sex positions where they can lift up their partner, or having their partner ride them/riding their partner, and can go on for multiple rounds with one pollen (often leading to overstimulation by the end of it.)
2 - Ashton as NRC greenhouse staff
If I remember correctly, Ashton is known to have tended to some of the grounds in the game, so perhaps he has a similar job in this AU. He works on watering the plants and making sure the fields on the NRC property are well maintained, sometimes taking the time to help some more rowdy pollens calm down by holding them down face-first in the bushes and pounding into them until they're too tired to cause too much trouble.
That's another one of his jobs. The peacekeeper in the greenhouse. Although rare, there's a chance that pollens that are less than fond of one another (an example being poinsettia/Malleus and Plumeria/Leona) may cross paths, and if that's the case then Ashton's the one to call. Either to separate them and wrangle them into the proper areas to be milked until they're more docile, or even handle the issue with his own two hands. After all, there's nothing more effective in calming down these troublesome pollinics than a good dicking down.
He's also often the one to help with more strength-focused milking jobs, either wrangling less cooperative pollens (such as apple blossom/Epel or hell's bell/Jamil on a bad day) into the harnesses/restraints used for milking them, carrying large containers brimming with honey from the pollinics still moaning and gasping for more as they're continuously milked, and working on hand-milking some of the pollen particles that have particular preferences (he's the best man to call to manhandle a dandelion/Ruggie. After all, the more turned on and happy they are as they're milked, the better tasting their nectar becomes.)
