Background Info - In a world where women no longer exist, society is split into two; dominants (the ruling class) and valets (who possess the 'inualidus chromosome' that allows them to bear children). Stripped of basic human rights, valets are expected to be entirely subservient to the dominants that claim them and few are prized higher than the valets of the WWE.
Summary - We now follow Seth Rollins on his bumpy road to Wrestlemania
I find it funny that the internet is imploding cos people are theorising that punks done this dramatic walkout or quit or is striking after a pay cut or some shit (people can’t even decide what bs theory they want to believe rn). Meanwhile punks probably just at home like
My god I’m an idiot. Didn’t know how to do an ask at 3 in the morning.
Snippets of Codypunklee & Tales of the Outer Planes please?
You're fine!! 3am comes for us all eventually 😂
Tales is a prequel to a couple of my other ST fics, essentially short stories building up to the start of that duology.
Codypunklee's a little more what it says on the tin: during their short stint in AEW together, Cody and Punk try to stay friends but it's SO obvious to everyone else that something's up, so AJ steps in and offers a... creative solution.
Snippets below the cut!
From Tales of the Outer Planes:
Eddie was fine. He was so fine. He was so so so fine, that he snuck toward the front door holding a frying pan like a baseball bat, poised and ready to swing the moment the thing outside pounced.
Probably coming here in the night to kill him. Maybe it was some new, nasty beastie, trying to prove itself, finish the job where Vecna couldn’t. Slip in during the night and tear his throat out, probably. Rip his guts open and leave him screaming to an empty house. Leave him to bleed out, the way he was supposed to. But instead he lived, when he wasn’t supposed to live. They all did.
Were the others okay? Should he call them?
No, the thing outside would hear. It’d hear and then it’d kill him and he’d never have a chance to warn anyone.
He had to stop it now. It probably didn’t account for him being awake still, and deliriously sleep-deprived as he was, that would be his advantage.
So with a vicious shout, he tore the door open, reared back, and–
“Hey man,” Steve mumbled, rubbing his eyes. “Maybe don’t hit me with that?”
And from the Codypunklee proxy fic...
“Your lovely wife was just telling me how much she misses the tiny little trunks era,” Cody said, an arch to his eyebrow that made Punk want to chew through concrete.
“Mine or yours?” he shot back. “Because I could be persuaded, I’ll just need some time to prep these old thighs.” A fleeting expression passed over Cody’s face, something like consideration, which couldn’t possibly feel like a win because they knew their boundaries. They shouldn’t even be having this conversation, with these implications, but that was AJ for you.
“Why not both?” AJ, naturally, didn’t look a single bit repentant over the clear pot-stirring; if anything, with the way she tilted her head and smiled, he was inclined to think she was fully aware of what she was doing and proud of it. “And besides, we weren’t just talking about the tragic ways you both cover up all that–” She glanced up and down, eyes grazing over each of them in a way that made Punk’s ears burn. “–scrumptious leg real estate. I was also lamenting the fact that in all these years, Cody’s never gotten to visit our place here in the city.”
I got tagged by @thlayli-ra for a little game which I think is me having to list my WIP document titles?
In which case, there is one, called "September 20th 2025 - Wrestlepalooza" Three guesses as to when it's set 😂
Right now I've got two in progress fics, but the next chapter of Screwed is waiting on the above chapter of Good Things being finished, and currently my brain is mashed potatoes 😭
My list of potential to-do's is long and will likely never happen, but I am fond of it even as it fills me with dread, so please find it behind the cut!
I'm being tagged again so bringing this back for the gang, @thlayli-ra @haidorade and @dashinmotion who all kindly tagged me.
Nothing has changed since the last time I did this because I am appalling at writing right now... but I have got a sequel to my Cody/Gunther fic lurking in the back of mind because Cody won again and I want to play with their winner's room again 👀
hands on his hips and everything bc he didn’t catch the mic lmfao i love this man ive never seen anybody drop a mic and then redo it flawlessly with so much charisma
