When Skitarius Escher-7-42-Aurelia is requisitioned by the Ordo Hereticus, Interrogator Arion Astraeus helps him adjust to the ways of the Inquisition. As they embark on several reconnaissance missions and retrieve a powerful anti-psyker weapon, Arion struggles with the responsibilities of his role and his growing fascination with the newest member of his team. [M, M/M, Action/Romance.]

Finally posting this story here even though it's not my usual content! This was loosely inspired by an excellent Wrath and Glory oneshot and a Dark Heresy 2e campaign. As much as I love painting, I am a massive TTRPG stan at heart.

Huge thanks to a friend who let me use their Forgeworld in this story. (Hope you're doing okay out there, buddy! If you see this, let me know how I can get in touch with you, I want to commission some art for this story. 😁)

shen and kirsa, hogwarts during harry potter era AU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

( @kirsafee )

shen is the bumbling hufflepuff, a half-blood with a knack for elemental magic and who’s father comes from a long line of dragon tamers from china. kirsa comes from a pureblood family, and is the first from her family to be sorted into slytherin in a long time. she has a way with charms, and the uncanny ability to make the the little hufflepuff blush with just a few words.

they don’t actually become friends until third year, when shen hears a few of the not-so-nice hufflepuffs in his year murmur some not-so-nice things about kirsa while they’re in potions class. the chamber of secrets had been open, and “she may be from one of the good families, but a slytherin’s a slytherin, right ??”

and shen knows that she’s kirsa fee, and she can take care of herself. but he sees her fist clench and thinks that it won’t help her if she hexes them. so he makes his cauldron explode instead, and smiles sheepishly when he gets detention, but grins brighter when he sees kirsa genuinely laughing at him

they get closer, and it’s an unlikely friendship, at least in the school’s eye. a snake and a badger. but they do get into quite a few hijinks during their years. unsanctioned trips to hogsmeade, late night adventures to the kitchen because shen wants a snack.

one of the bigger ones is their fifth year, when shen’s family is working the first challenge for the triwizard tournament. it’s another one of their dates, and mushu and cri-kee wink as shen leads kirsa closer to the chinese fireball. it calms at shen’s touch, and they spend a while just petting the creature. until the horntail pitches a fit and they leave before things get bad

she probs asks him to yule ball while they’re there and he blushes and mushu just cackles in the background

FAST FORWARD

they graduate, and shen’s worried that they won’t be a part of each others lives anymore now that they’re not at school

except shen becomes a dragon tamer and kirsa becomes a renowned playwright in the wizarding world as well as the muggle world and she keeps writing plays with dragons

meaning, she requires dragons in her magical plays.

shen keeps having to bring her dragons

this is how they decide to handle things the nerd

EXTRA TIDBITS:

all other eyes may have been on hermione granger at the ball, but shen only had eyes for kirsa. as always, she had him #shOOk

shen’s the only one out of the two of them who gets invited to join dumbledore’s army. but it’s fine cause kirsa is asked to join the inquisitorial squad. they both nope right out of those and go snack together in the kitchens and talk shit about harry potter and umbridge

they both are invited to the slug club the following year, but only ever go to the meetings for the food and to see what other beetle dung slughorn sprouts about wonderful mr. harry potter

they’re both out of hogwarts when the war hits, and neither feel all that inclined to go back. shen because he never was one for fighting, and kirsa because she remains neutral. the order hasn’t done anything for her, and neither has voldemort. instead, shen invites her to china and takes her to all the local spots and shen’s grandma spoils them with fresh made chinese treats. all the char siu bao in the world. they probably ride a dragon at some point

#i may have gotten a bit carried away with this one #but i am literally wearing a harry potter shirt rn can you blame me??#anyways what are these two??????#{{ kirsa | isms. }}#{{ dragon boy | isms. }}#{{ aus. }}#{{ harry potter au. }}

I played a fun 40k TTRPG recently and now... I might be going down a small Inquisitorial Acolyte x Skitarius rabbithole. I would say it makes sense in context, but it 100% doesn't this time. It was just like:

Game was lots of fun, but I don't want to give too many details in case the other players find this. 😅 I will say, though, the ship's vibe is, "most useless twunk in the galaxy crushes on adorably sassy genderless cyborg."

...Why do my 40k TTRPG characters always fall in love? This might be surprising, but I'm not usually one for romance in games. However, last time I played DH 2e, my rogue Astartes-like character (long story) fell head over heels for the party Astropath. This only seems to happen to me with 40k and Exalted, for some reason. Something about these settings just makes me go feral. Maybe I want a spot of happiness in my sad peoples' lives before they inevitably die horribly or part ways in tragic circumstances?

I'm slightly annoyed that it's more Imperials. The way I keep getting attached to Imperial characters sometimes makes me wonder if something is wrong with me. I should play a necron game next time, I'm constantly on the edge of falling for them as it is.

I honestly think this fixation will be short-lived, but I might write some smut or something. We'll see.

#Spent two weeks reading about Techmarines and then instantly got minor brainrot for the first Admech character I met huh #...i don't even have a tag for this #inquisitorial hijinks #I guess??
