The AU!Pet Person Meme (Shipping & Smut)
| >> premise | |
| Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a conscientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be. The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapiens. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed. Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human. So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know?
With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master! |

| Needless to say, The Care and Keeping of Your Pet is a bit biased and full of propaganda, but it gives a good idea of the world your character is now AU's into. They are either a pet person or a human master, and what that means for them varies. So are they a devoted pet or a rebellious animal person looking to buck the system? A generous master or a cruel sexual sadist? Just a normal pet owner? Most likely they're something in between, but when you're raised in this world, it's difficult to see anything different on the horizon. Rules

As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo!

As a Pet, he's a chocobo, with medium-small wings, a tiny tail, and feathers in his hair. A bit wary and standoffish, but can warm up easily depending on the person.]

... moving on.
Their large floppy rodent ears twisted in discomfort, very unhappy with their enhanced sense of smell. Well, there was nothing to it except digging in. They were loaded up in pink frilly apron, a bucket of clorox and plenty of sponges.
no subject
Hmm, speaking of... where was his pet? He scanned the place idly, and called out for them, pulling his long mane down out of his usual adventuring ponytail.
"Haruhi, darling, where are you?"
no subject
no subject
"Uh... sorry, darling, things get a little bit crusty in here sometimes." And then he straightened, smiling a catlike smile at her. "I do love the little apron, though. Very nice."
He approached them, catching one of the long ties of the apron in his fingers and tugging at it lightly.
"... say! We've got the place to ourselves for a little while. Why don't you take a little break, hmm?"
no subject
"Oh, thanks," Haruhi said, surprised he'd even notice. "It's just something from a secondhand store, I thought it was cute."
Haruhi smiled warmly. "So how did the mission go, then?"
no subject
no subject
Haruhi thought it was silly that Taako minimized the things he had accomplished and the risks he faced everyday. So since she felt that way, she said so.
"You shouldn't minimize your accomplishments like that. What you do is important."
no subject
"Awh, I mean, I know that. I'm just saying that there are way more interesting things to do now that I'm back here with you." With that, he turned a bit to tug her against his chest instead of his side, giving her a catlike grin. "You know."

no subject
"I meant that we should do something more fun. And, you know, also not involving cleaning the house in any way."
no subject
"Oh, we can go grocery shopping, then!"
In the mail earlier, she'd spotted a coupon for 20% of a sushi platter... okay so maybe a hint of mischievousness.
no subject
no subject
"No, that... that sounds fun, too."
no subject
... and then he shifted lower, catching his pet's lips in a somewhat less chaste kind of kiss as he pulled them closer against him.
True Bond + Stray + Guard ( + optional Pet Play as not a lifestyle thing if you wanna)
It wasn't hard to realize why when they were stopped at an inn together, and when Akira had stripped down his layers in order to bathe, his black and white ears and pitch-black tail were immediately visible.
Hopefully Taako liked cats who could steal things and open up almost any mechanically-locked treasure box. And cats who cuddled like dogs in the middle of the night (and sometimes whimpered from nightmares.) And cats who were happy to bring him breakfast/lunch/dinner in bed. (And so on.)
yes I wanna fufufu
Going back to his home at the BOB, his own spacious suite there, was a delight after the inns; not only because it was his home, however. It also afforded him and his newfound companion a degree of privacy they'd never shared before.
"Akira," Taako called from bed one evening, sitting on its edge in his robe; "Come here, darling."
yes good <3 Please treat him well, Master~<3 He'll be a good boy. <3!!
"You called, Master?" he purred, eyes drooping partly closed in delight and tail up in a delicate curve, ecstatic to be paid attention to.
Although he was still getting to know his new Master, he felt just confident enough to mostly express himself without hiding anything. And bonds forged through battle and adventure were a true test of loyalty. Already, he took blows meant for him, and it wasn't until one attack had knocked him flat on his ass that the epiphany struck him then.
He thought it was just because they were traveling together, but after seeing how some other companions worked together, he knew that his bond with Taako was different. It meant something much, much more.
"I like that robe on you..." He also liked it on the floor while they fucked.
no subject
"Come up here and join me, darling, I've got something for you!" It wasn't much, but he felt like it was something his sweet little cat might treasure anyway, given just how loyal he'd become. There hadn't been a lot of certain things in Taako's life that he could remember; people came and went, travelling companions, homes. Even his present place in the Bureau was, he knew, a limited affair; but this cat, Akira, seemed determined to stay by his side and protect him, and there was something incredibly heartwarming about it.
Maybe he should've taken in a pet before.
no subject
"A present, hm? What did you get me?"
He wondered if it was coffee beans. But.. but probably not. He wasn't low on the good stuff, at least.
"You're not going to tease me all day now that I know, right?" Just making sure. Lightly sniffing around, Akira tried to figure out where Taako was hiding the present, his tail flicking in interest against his thigh.
"Or.. or is it a dick joke? Is that you telling me to suck it?" Also a viable, non-offensive present.
no subject
He sighed, shrugging, and turned to reveal something-- a simple black collar, sleek in design, with a little heart-shaped tag on it.
"I thought, hey... we're there, probably, right? Uh, if you like it, I mean." He almost seemed the slightest bit flustered; Taako never was all that good at expressing feelings, even in contexts like this.
no subject
"Are you offering your heart since you stole mine from me?" he quipped back with a cheesy smile, gently resting his fingers on the tag of the collar. Ah, but maybe that's going too far.
"I-I'm kidding. You're asking to be my owner, right? I accept. Black looks good on me."
Taking a moment to adjust the fluff of his hair, he settled his hands closer to his lap, and leaned forward just a bit to expose his neck to him.
"...Honestly, I never thought it would happen to me. I don't... know if you feel anything on your end, but I know I've established a True Bond with you. So, uh... don't throw me away, okay?"
He'll just, uh, try not to cry at the very notion.
no subject
"My guy, I did just fuckin'... hand you a collar, like. How I feel about you should be pretty fuckin' clear after that." And he picked himself up, reaching down to carefully fasten the collar around his pet's neck, ensuring he left plenty of breathing room-- that was an important part of caring for his pet, after all. He had to keep the little guy comfortable.
And then, as he sat back against the pillow, his grin spread, a naughty kind of glint in his eye.
"Hey, but, you know, I wouldn't turn down that BJ, if you're in the mood for that kinda activity."
no subject
Holding still as Taako fastened the collar around his neck, the cat couldn't help but smile in bliss at the knowledge, at feeling the weight of the collar around his neck, and everything that it stood for. For once, he had a place to be that wasn't something that he made for himself. He was accepted with someone else.
He could cry if he let himself. However, the shift in mood took his attention more, and he laughed softly, and nodded
"I'll still gladly do it. How do you want me?"
He crawled to follow him, lingering near his legs, his tail perked and swaying with a slight, inviting curve in its shape.
no subject
Tuva's still in shock that he's not in a cell, really; he'll be pacing and run into a piece of furniture, or his path will take him into warm light and he can actually stop and feel the heat and most of all, he isn't lonely.
He's not sure what to make of the clearly batty fucker who took him in, though. He naturally wants closeness, had it drilled in that casual protectiveness and affection made people happy, but seriously. What kind of weirdo gets an old lizard for a pet? Does he really want to see what happens if he takes up residence on the bed of that kind of guy for scale oiling?
(Apparently yes, given that he's patiently sitting shirtless on Taako's bed, holding linseed oil and trying to not look nervous.)]
no subject
...
Then again, somehow, he finds himself strangely alright with this outcome, once he gets a good look at the fella. It's almost endearing-- no, definitely, the way he's sitting on the bed, looking weirdly anxious for a dude who could probably survive being thrown down ten flights of stairs intact.
Taako eases himself into the room, greeting Tuva with a catlike smile.]
Hey, hey, no reason to be uneasy, my guy. It's just a little routine oiling.
[Something about the way he says the word "oiling" implies that all Tuva has to worry about here is his virtue. Which is unlikely to be intact in the first place.]
no subject
And he's apparently okay with the unfun parts of ownership, like oiling up Tuva's scaled plates!
...Very okay with it! He knows that sort of tone, of course; it's part of the deal, every pet knows that. He still goes red right down to his shoulders though, tail switching and thin lips pursed.]
Aye, routine. Y'don' gotta do aught though, if y'busy; I jus' thought it'd...be good f'us?
An' saves y'cleanin' blood out y'shit! But it lasts ages! Na worries there! [Not like he enjoys oil massages the most no fucking way son.]
Natsumi Kuzuryu | Danganronpa 2 | OTA
As a pet she'd be a scrappy ginger tabby cat or a rough but loyal akita! Ears, tail, fur in some areas like her back and shoulders.]
anders | dragon age | m/m, 20+
as a pet, lbr he's a cat. think small exotic, like a sand cat or an ocelot. he's a terrible combination of high-maintenance (jealous, insecure, does not play well with others) and independent (stubborn, opinionated, likes to disappear for days at a time). but treat him well, and he's also as loyal, caring, and affectionate as they come. pet/pet scenarios are good, too.
assumed CR preferred, crosscanon welcome. ]
matou sakura ; fate/stay night; m/f
as a pet she would be either a cat, bird or cow, very wary of strangers and extremely protective of her master. she would act very much like a housewife, taking care of the meals and the housework. ]
Fenris | Dragon Age | M/M
Can either be a stray who escaped from his former maser, or come from a breeder (both would more than likely be Danarius). Wouldn't mind playing later in his and his new masters relationship (definitely looking for some smut).
Interested in all prompts except Breeding, Pregnancy, and Dominant Pet. Cross-canon more than welcome, kink list in journal and feel free to hit me up with questions! ]
