More rough draft ideas for the Anastasia AU. This one is the bro's reunion, so if you don't want to spoil yourself for the story I have planned, maybe skip it! (tag will be #au spoilers)
~ also note that (due to memory loss) Mario goes by "Maurice" ~
* * *
They agreed to meet at the fire flower field.
"I'm sorry", Maurice began, softly. "I didn’t want to decieve you. I just...wanted to find out where I come from."
The Prince breathed in deeply, and then out through his nose like he was lifting a weight from his whole body.
"I'm just...so tired", he said weakly. "I'm tired of being tricked."
He raised a hand and aggressively wiped away tears that had already started spilling down his cheeks. Maurice, for reasons he could not fathom why, made to move forward, his hand reached out. However, he quickly drew back as he realised what he was about to do.
Prince Luigi looked back at him.
"You look so much like him. And you're so kind. That's what hurts the most."
Feeling more courage, Maurice gingerly stepped closer.
"Just, please tell me. Who am I?"
He clasped his music box to his chest. The Prince's eyes widened.
"Where did you get get that?"
Maurice looked at it, startled.
"I don't know. I've had it as long as I can remember. I think it's-"
But he stopped himself as he watched the Prince dig into his pocket, and bring out a music box of his own. This one was moon shaped, but the craftsmanship was very like Maurice's.
"Funny", said the Prince. "My music box is supposed to match with my brother's. A sun and a moon. A pair bound together. Would be funny, if you were an imposter, and you had just crafted a fake one just like his."
Maurice swallowed.
"I don't...know. Mine...could be fake. It has weird writing on the back. Might just be a signature or something."
He froze as some form of emotion went over the Prince's face.
"Can I see?"
Prince Luigi put his hand out. Maurice didn't miss the fact that it was trembling. He obeyed.
The Prince took his music box in the other hand, his pupils dilated, and he turned it so Maurice could see there was an inscription on the back.
, as long as we're together.
"My brother and I used to say that all the time to each other", the Prince said, his lip quivering. "We thought it would be fun to inscribe it on the back, so we carried a half each, and remember that we were never alone."
He held out the music boxes side by side. As Maurice looked, he saw that the inscriptions came together to form a full sentence.
Nothing can hurt us, as long as we're together.
"And that's always true", Maurice found himself saying with no warning.
He stopped. Now he was the one trembling.
Prince Luigi then tapped the top of his own music box, and an oddly shaped disc popped out. Taking it, the Prince then inserted it into the front of Maurice's.
"I didn't even know that was there!", he said in awe.
"A secret compartment in each of the boxes", the Prince explained. "That could only be accessed by the other's key."
He then twisted the box. The bottom slid away, revealing a smaller compartment with a tightly folded piece of paper inside.
The Prince handed the box out to Maurice, his eyes begging the younger man to open the paper.
Maurice was not going to argue. Unfolding the paper in shaking hands, he found it was a photo of two little boys. Both exactly alike, but a little different at the same time. They were smiling, holding each other like there wasn't a care on the world.
Prince Luigi had opened up his own secret compartment. Inside was the same photo. A copy.
"So that you two will always carry a happy memory with you."
Maurice stared at the photos. This really was it. He wasn't feeling like this was strange anymore. This was real, and he knew who he was.
He looked back up at the Prince. Luigi was crying, a hand pressed to his mouth as silent tears spilled out, his expression looking like it was begging for this to be true.
"Hi bro", Mario smiled.
The tears were shed on each other's shoulders, as they held each other tight amongst the fire flowers...

Another big jump but have a half finished draft for a cat based story I kinda really love
Before the sickness struck, before the whispers and the killings, cats were prized. Gifts from the gods. Bringers of good luck, peace, love. Their purr healing any emotional ail that struck into a hands heart.
They were dressed in white silks. Kissed on the heads. Adorned with flowers.
Breathing blessings.
And then the cough spread. Hands died in dozens. Cats were dragged from homes. Tossed into the streets to die on their own or burned for the sins they were accused of.
Where once black pelted cats were seen as the goddesses most beloved they now were the devil’s destructors sent to the town to bring the evil illness that spread faster than any plague that’d struck the town.
From here flew a new kind.
From Burnt Fur rose Black Feathers, and cats with soot clogged scars. As such the Ravens came to be.
Born in such a terrifying time the Ravens are a Clowder of cats that try to keep a distance from the humans who so easily betrayed them. They are colder but not cruel. Residing in a hidden haven that no hand could ever reach into.
They keep to the east side of town where less hands reside and the wild has taken over. The streets are less refined, the building even less so. Hidden in the old tunnels under the town.
The Ravens have a chosen Crown of sorts who cares for all under their caring claws. They are elected and can be taken out if need be but most often stay for the span of their life. They keep each other safe, protect their passageways, and take care of the environment around them. They keep the horror of their past alive. None under the Ravens will ever forget the terrifying tales of how those hands once harmed them. It will always be scarred into their minds.
* If a Crown has any kittens they are referred to as Jewels and are cared for especially but don’t get too much special treatment
* Most Ravens are either tortoiseshells or black cats since they most often aren’t from households. They tend to be more bony but still very strong with particularly sharp faces, noses, and eyes.
* All Ravens upon making it to an age where they can leave give an item of theirs to the fountain in the heart of their home as a way to always be a part of the passageways. Even after their death they still have a piece of themselves there. It’s often where all ceremonies are held after a cats passing and most grieve there.
* Near the fountain none are to speak unless it is a part of a ceremony but many will purr to try and send some sort of message to their lost one
* All kits who dies too soon are grieved by downy feathers being tossed into the fountain. Fragile but beautiful just like chicks. A feather is often kept by the parent/s to have a something to hold in place of their now lost child
But a lifestyle of isolating and protection cannot last forever.
And then the cats with love back in their hearts took roost in the crowded side of town, Doves with a sprig of an olive tree held out in peace
After generations have passed and wounds have healed over the relationship between hands and cats have gotten better. Not as severely revered but not murdered any longer.
And such the slightly more friendly fairing Clowder rose, donned as the Doves! They live to the west where hands sleep and sing. They live off offerings from the hands but also hunt.
A lot more loose in nature there is no strict loyalty to stay a Dove with many half there and half in the comfy care of a house. But those who fully reside in the Dove’s Domain are very welcoming to the fluidity in their home.
They have no clear home base but do follow a Crown of their own who keeps peace and keeps track of the needs of the cats.

Anything with Duff and Izzy being Doctors make me happy, I can’t explain why.. @slashscowboyboots Floor A is amazing, I re read it the other day. Still a masterpiece babe! @izzysdenimjacket story about Duff being a cardiologist and falling for his nurse is amazing.. but I’ve had this idea flowing around in my brain, Duff having a girl BFF, who grew up with duff as kids to now. She moved to LA when they left for college, she dropped out after sophomore year. Decided to bartend, she’s a bi icon, just a bad bitch.. anyways, she is friends with Izzy too they had a fwbs deal in college/med school.
Like it’s not anything anymore bc he has a girlfriend, but they still tease each other kinda flirty but not.. Duff and her act like a married couple 24/7, people think they’re together. Duff brought her to a drs conference, they had an after party. All night other drs were telling duff how lucky he was to bag her, women were jealous of her for “taking duff off the market”. Both were grossed out and said no that’s my best friend, we’re like siblings actually. Also she has an OF, someone mentioned it to duff at the conference. Duff about had a heart attack, someone had shown him a picture of her in a red lacy lingerie set. She was in a sexy/pornish position, btw. She definitely got the full name yelled and a what the fuck? She just told him it was during covid and couldn’t bartend for a good while. He asked Izzy later that week if he knew about it. Izzy told him yup and if she ever got a porno deal, he was gonna be a her manager. Also that’s how he found about Izzy and her in college. Duff was a little upset and scared by his best friend for a good 2 months.
Axl and Slash have tried to get her in bed but Duff told them she’s off limits. He would sit in prison over her so don’t attempt anything. Axl got mad that izzy had a sexual pass with her. Anyways, just an idea I want to type out and share with the class.

I have realized that I’ve made almost the entire PO3 rewrite cast trans lol
Almost every new generation apprentice in TC is, besides Poppyfrost and Honeyfern, and then the outside clans apprentices are also almost entirely trans or teetering on me making them
Anyways current gender list for TC Apprentices:
Berrynose is transmasc. Hazeltail is some sort of trans, Thinking she’s non-binary fem using she/they. Mousewhisker is similar but non-binary masc using he/they, Gender twining my beloveds
Poppy and Honey at this time are both cis. Cinderheart is transfem. Endgame t4t CinderLion
Jay and Holly are up for debate, could end up as cis or trans. Lionblaze is transmasc Butch using she/her mostly but the occasional he/him makes her melt into a fluff puddle
Foxleap and Icecloud are cis but may change if I develop them more. Thinking cis tho
Dovewing is agender. Ivypool is cis
Outside of TC:
Breezepelt I have no clue but he’s got something going on there I can’t put to words. Heathertail is cis. Hare is cis I think
Antpelt may be transmasc
Willowpelt is cis but uses they/she. Redwillow…. Idk smth is there tho

Awhile ago @ouidamforeman made this post:
Tumblr media
This shot through my brain like a chain of firecrackers, so, without derailing the original post, I have some THOUGHTS to add about why this concept is not only hilarious (because it is), but also...
It. It kind of fucks. Severely.
And in a delightfully Pratchett-y way, I'd dare to suggest.
I'll explain:
As inferred above, both Crowley AND Aziraphale have canonical Biblical counterparts. Not by name, no, but by function.
Crowley, of course, is the serpent of Eden.
(note on the serpent of Eden: In Genesis 3:1-15, at least, the serpent is not identified as anything other than a serpent, albeit one that can talk. Later, it will be variously interpreted as a traitorous agent of Hell, as a demon, as a guise of Satan himself, etc. In Good Omens --as a slinky ginger who walks funny)
Lesser known, at least so far as I can tell, is the flaming sword. It, too, appears in Genesis 3, in the very last line:
"So he drove out the man; and placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." --Genesis 3:24, KJV
Thanks to translation ambiguity, there is some debate concerning the nature of the flaming sword --is it a divine weapon given unto one of the Cherubim (if so, why only one)? Or is it an independent entity, which takes the form of a sword (as other angelic beings take the form of wheels and such)? For our purposes, I don't think the distinction matters. The guard at the gate of Eden, whether an angel wielding the sword or an angel who IS the sword, is Aziraphale.
(note on the flaming sword: in some traditions --Eastern Orthodox, for example-- it is held that upon Christ's death and resurrection, the flaming sword gave up it's post and vanished from Eden for good. By these sensibilities, the removal of the sword signifies the redemption and salvation of man.
...Put a pin in that. We're coming back to it.)
So, we have our pair. The Serpent and the Sword, introduced at the beginning and the end (ha) of the very same chapter of Genesis.
But here's the important bit, the bit that's not immediately obvious, the bit that nonetheless encapsulates one of the central themes, if not THE central theme, of Good Omens:
The Sword was never intended to guard Eden while Adam and Eve were still in it.
Do you understand?
The Sword's function was never to protect them. It doesn't even appear until after they've already fallen. No... it was to usher Adam and Eve from the garden, and then keep them out. It was a threat. It was a punishment.
The flaming sword was given to be used against them.
So. Again. We have our pair. The Serpent and the Sword: the inception and the consequence of original sin, personified. They are the one-two punch that launches mankind from paradise, after Hell lures it to destruction and Heaven condemns it for being destroyed. Which is to say that despite being, supposedly, hereditary enemies on two different sides of a celestial cold war, they are actually unified by one purpose, one pivotal role to play in the Divine Plan: completely fucking humanity over.
That's how it's supposed to go. It is written.
...But, in Good Omens, they're not just the Serpent and the Sword.
They're Crowley and Aziraphale.
(author begins to go insane from emotion under the cut)
In Good Omens, humanity is handed it's salvation (pin!) scarcely half an hour after losing it. Instead of looming over God's empty garden, the sword protects a very sad, very scared and very pregnant girl. And no, not because a blameless martyr suffered and died for the privilege, either.
It was just that she'd had such a bad day. And there were vicious animals out there. And Aziraphale worried she would be cold.
...I need to impress upon you how much this is NOT just a matter of being careless with company property. With this one act of kindness, Aziraphale is undermining the whole entire POINT of the expulsion from Eden. God Herself confronts him about it, and he lies. To God.
And the Serpent--
(Crowley, that is, who wonders what's so bad about knowing the difference between good and evil anyway; who thinks that maybe he did a GOOD thing when he tempted Eve with the apple; who objects that God is over-reacting to a first offense; who knows what it is to fall but not what it is to be comforted after the fact...)
--just goes ahead and falls in love with him about it.
As for Crowley --I barely need to explain him, right? People have been making the 'didn't the serpent actually do us a solid?' argument for centuries. But if I'm going to quote one of them, it may as well be the one Neil Gaiman wrote ficlet about:
"If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word liberty, the creator of ambition, the author of modesty, of inquiry, of doubt, of investigation, of progress and of civilization." --Robert G. Ingersoll
The first to ask questions.
Even beyond flattering literary interpretation, we know that Crowley is, so often, discreetly running damage control on the machinations of Heaven and Hell. When he can get away with it. Occasionally, when he can't (1827).
And Aziraphale loves him for it, too. Loves him back.
And so this romance plays out over millennia, where they fall in love with each other but also the world, because of each other and because of the world. But it begins in Eden. Where, instead of acting as the first Earthly example of Divine/Diabolical collusion and callousness--
(other examples --the flood; the bet with Satan; the back channels; the exchange of Holy Water and Hellfire; and on and on...)
--they refuse. Without even necessarily knowing they're doing it, they just refuse. Refuse to trivialize human life, and refuse to hate each other.
To write a story about the Serpent and the Sword falling in love is to write a story about transgression.
Not just in the sense that they are a demon and an angel, and it's ~forbidden. That's part of it, yeah, but the greater part of it is that they are THIS demon and angel, in particular. From The Real Bible's Book of Genesis, in the chapter where man falls.
It's the sort of thing you write and laugh. And then you look at it. And you think. And then you frown, and you sit up a little straighter. And you think.
And then you keep writing.
And what emerges hits you like a goddamn truck.
(...A lot of Pratchett reads that way. I believe Gaiman when he says Pratchett would have been happy with the romance, by the way. I really really do).
It's a story about transgression, about love as transgression. They break the rules by loving each other, by loving creation, and by rejecting the hatred and hypocrisy that would have triangulated them as a unified blow against humanity, before humanity had even really got started. And yeah, hell, it's a queer romance too, just to really drive the point home (oh, that!!! THAT!!!)
...I could spend a long time wildly gesturing at this and never be satisfied. Instead of watching me do that (I'll spare you), please look at this gif:
Tumblr media
I love this shot so much.
Look at Eve and Crowley moving, at the same time in the same direction, towards their respective wielders of the flaming sword. Adam reaches out and takes her hand; Aziraphale reaches out and covers him with a wing.
You know what a shot like that establishes? Likeness. Commonality. Kinship.
"Our side" was never just Crowley and Aziraphale. Crowley says as much at the end of season 1 ("--all of us against all of them."). From the beginning, "our side" was Crowley, Aziraphale, and every single human being. Lately that's around 8 billion, but once upon a time it was just two other people. Another couple. The primeval mother and father.
But Adam and Eve die, eventually. Humanity grows without them. It's Crowley and Aziraphale who remain, and who protect it. Who...oversee it's upbringing.
Godfathers. Sort of.

Got ideas floating around for the Anastasia AU. And instead of saving them to my drafts like a normal person, I have to post it and let you all determine the scene from the vagueness of it.
(Hint: it's based on the ballroom scene from the movie ^^)
* * *
He could see figures reaching out to him. A man, a woman, and a child, who suspiciously resembled himself...Their hands clasped his, easily warming his numb hands. And then, in a single flash, they drifted away like a breeze.
" HEY!", cried a voice. "What are you doing here?!"
He bolted.
"Woah woah hold on guys, you think I could be related to royalty?!"

I kinda like the idea of a society of cats who just survive in the city streets. Like having underground networks, maps of the city to keep safest and know where certain recourses are, paths to get high up buildings. And the fashion too I could make with just scrap from people. All the accessories just make my heart race I can’t even

Clitwarming >>
Just imagining myself lounging around at home while my s/o is working tirelessly at their desk. They haven't taken a break as they know they have to get this work finished but they're nowhere near done.
So I decide to waltz myself over to their home office and take my usual spot under the desk, but I simply place my chin on the base of the chair between their legs, like a puppy craving attention from it's owner.
"I'm sorry baby but I'm so busy right now, you're gonna have to wait a bit okay?" they coo, cupping my cheek with their hand and showing a sincere smile before putting all their focus back onto the computer screen.
But I want to be the one that helps you out, helps you relieve some stress without having to move from the desk.
"Can we try something? I promise it won't be too distracting, trust me" I whisper faintly, perching up slightly on my knees and trailing my fingertips along their exposed thigh.
It's getting late so all they're wearing is an oversized shirt, luckily that makes it easier for me see what I want.
Before they can even get a word in I place my soft lips around the hood of their neglected clit, my tongue just resting peacefully against the bud of nerves. I won't make any sudden movements though, like I said, I won't be too distracting.
The sweet sound of their breathy gasp as they look back down at me, their thighs closing in on my head to prop it up.
Every now and then I feel them rock against my tongue, their wetness seeping into my mouth with each one whilst I stay put.
That's all I'm here for after all, to keep their clit warm in my mouth whilst they use my tongue whenever they need some added friction.
Also helps keep my oral fixation at bay😉
