the werewolf pack (au) romance meme

[depletes]

☽✩ the werewolf pack (au) romance meme ✩☾ There are many supernatural beings that congregate in groups for survival or protection or just for companionship, not unlike humans. Witches have covens. Vampires have nests. But none of those have connections that can compare to the bond of a werewolf pack. You should know. You're part of one, either born a werewolf or turned. For humans, blood is thicker than water; for wolves, the pack is to the bone. Of course, with humans, romantic relationships can complicate closeness of other sorts. That's not the case with werewolf pairings, as they tend to grow out of natural pack dynamics and are viewed as just another facet of life. The only difference is that werewolves tend to treat relationships, even potential would-be-mates, with extreme seriousness. After all, you'll fight for your pack, so you'll fight for your mate, won't you? ✩ how to play ✩ ☾ Comment with your character, preference, and information! ☽ Reply to others. ☾ RNG. Also, please note that while the words "alpha" et al. are used, this isn't a meme for that AU. ✩ prompts ✩ ☽ Born: Your parents were werewolves. Any children you have will be wolves, too. ☾ The Turning Process: Like any transformation, the after effects of the bite are painful. Luckily ☽ With Who Turned You: You're romantically or sexually linked to your "creator," so to speak, probably because you have nowhere else to go. They seem to treasure you, though, no matter how much they hide it. ☾ Alphas: Both of you are top of the pack. ☽ Alpha and Beta: It's a classic case of the leader and the second in command: a perfect team up. ☾ Omegas: You two find solace in each other even when you're ☽ Closer Than Family: The romantic and platonic lines are blurred. You honestly can't ☾ Outside Threat: Your pack and your loved one is threatened. What won't you do? ☽ Reluctant: You don't want to be with anyone, but it's expected and they're the closest in the pack to you... ☾ All I've Ever Known: All you've ever known is the werewolf existence, the pack, and them. Of course you would never want to lose that. ☽ Can't be Together: You two should not be considering a potential pairing, either due to your status difference or because your alpha has proclaimed there will be no inter-pack mingling. ☾ Everyone Else Was Taken: You had no other option; everyone else was paired. ☽ Protector: Every pack has an instinctive protector or nurturer. You've lucked out and ended up with them. ☾ A Natural Closeness: It doesn't matter to you what you're defined as. You've always been close and you'll stay that way. ☽ Affection: Werewolves show their love in different ways that humans. Nuzzling and licking aren't considered odd at all. ☾ Fall into Step: The two of you have your pack positions and proclivities and they're the same in your relationship. ☽ Reverse: The submissive in the pack becomes a dominant in the relationship and vice versa. ☾ Two-Man Pack: The rest of your pack is gone, and you two have to stick it out. ☽ Rogue: You were once a lone wolf, but a special person brought you into the fold. Understandably, you're attached to them. ☾ Kin but Not: "Family" doesn't mean exactly the same thing in werewolf society as it does in human. There are fewer taboos between "siblings." ☽ Disciplined: You're a rule breaker, and your partner has to reel you in. ☾ Living Straight: Neither of you wants to hurt humans...yet there's always that urge. ☽ Bad Duo: Killing people and raising hell are your specialties. You're a real supernatural Bonnie and Clyde. ☾ Unrequited: Even werewolves can have feelings that aren't returned. However, it's an even more fragile scenario, given that you must still be pack after this. ☽ Got Your Back: Together, you hunt and fight. Always together. ☾ Love Outside the Pack: You've found love outside the pack, which is the ultimate sin. Everyone who isn't pack should be your enemy! The other person in this thread can be a human, vampire, etc. ☽ Life Mates: Wolves mate for life. Needless to say, this is not something you should go into lightly. ☾ Heat: The obligatory smut option. ☽ Fight for the One: Someone wants to challenge you for your mate. There's no question as to whether or not you'll fight for them - but will you kill? ☾ Leave: One of you wants to leave the pack. Will the other come along, or are ties too strong? ☽ A Brutal End: The life of a werewolf, especially those who let sentiment cloud their judgement, can be painfully brief. ☾ WILDCARD

[ Hello this AU CR is beautiful and should also be taken to angsty werewolf places. Giles gets bit (by Bruce?), they spend some time definitely not panicking together. In a bonding way.

[Am I the worst in thinking they would be kind of hot together anyway? XD Oh my god if Bruce bit him Giles would have to deal with the worst most over protective and guilt-filled pack leader... it would end in beautiful disaster.

Basically, yes.]

Haru loves her work. The space of her tailor shop is small because of the walls lined with bolts of fabric and racks of sample cuts, but unlike the stores shown in movies or that have been around for centuries, her shop is bright and cheery rather than filled with dark wood paneling and masculinity. Apart from the extensive window display showing a progression of three of the many steps in her process for making an outfit, someone might just guess Butterfly Designs was only a crafting or fabrics store. Honestly, if it wasn't for the small subscript on her signs by Haru Miura she may have never gotten the right customers at all. Some could argue she still wasn't getting the right customers.

She set up her tailor shop with the life insurance money from her father's disappearance and presumed death after his studies as a professor took him on one journey too many. What Haru didn't know was that her father's death hadn't been an accident. He'd gotten in too deep with the supernatural communities. He had learned too much while refusing to declare loyalty to any singular sect and therefore he had become a liability to all of them. While alive, he had been well liked, and never one to use the information he had gathered against anyone. No one wanted to claim responsibility for the "accident" of his disappearance.

Out of curiosity when Haru's shop with professor Miura's last name showed up on a street not far at all from the Troll Market bridge, the supernatural began to wander in. For being unknown, she made beautiful and high quality clothing, and she would take any challenge to make it out of whatever materials they brought her if they didn't like her own. Slowly, Haru gained a reputation for skill and obliviousness that appealed to everyone. If she did show curiosity it was about their tastes in clothing or food, casual friendly small talk they could half-lie and pass off as human.

As for Haru herself, well, she wasn't nearly so oblivious and she was definitely more curious than she let on to her customers, but she had her father's notes and his stories to content herself with. She liked her life, she liked her customers, and she saw no reason to invade their privacy just to settle her own mind when she probably wouldn't like the results of her snooping. The one concession she gave herself was a scrap portfolio of the strange fabrics she was requested to make clothing from. Often times she couldn't even tell what they were made out of, but she amused herself with lists of guesses anyway.

Whatever her customers do or are, they keep coming back to her, and Haru's never been one to be disloyal so when one of them seems to be cornered outside her store window she starts paying attention. Xanxus, a terribly handsome man despite, or maybe even partially because of the scars littering his skin, had been full of particular orders the first time he came into her shop. Haru had ignored all of them except for the preferences applicable to his clothing style, but he had returned for another suit, and another, with fewer orders both times. She took it as a compliment and his pleasure with her work.

She's under no illusions that Xanxus couldn't tear the men in front of him in half if he wanted to, and indeed his body language and the muffled cursing through the window indicated that he wanted to, but she didn't particularly want to clean blood off her window if there actually was some kind of fight. And possibly, if she was honest with herself, she wanted to give Xanxus a reason to talk to her about something other than whether or not his coat was too tight over his enormous shoulders. She had to move her step stool twice to fit him properly and that was without him even standing on the measuring stage she used for people's lower bodies.

Abandoning the inventory list she was checking with a small mark to hold her place, Haru exits her shop and frowns at the men accosting Xanxus.

"Is there a good reason you're making my customer late for his appointment and causing a ruckus outside my shop or can I get on with my day now?" Xanxus doesn't have an appointment. Few of her customers ever bothered with them, but it's a good enough excuse for her to be interfering. Even with his initial complaints Xanxus was a loyal repeat customer, so Haru would be loyal in return. It had to have looked a little comical her short, curved, five foot two inch frame standing in between men a whole foot taller than her.
