Maybe Legs was turned in the war against his will, maybe his sire saw the potential on Legundo as a doctor and didn't wanted to loose it, who knows... (well you know bcs is ur au lmaoo). Maybe the sire is a oc or another cc hehehe

I haven't thought too much about Legs' backstory in the AU, beyond it being similar to his canon backstory, just happened a lot longer ago, but I did imagine he got turned late in the war, after he had already poisoned the village. (Really solidify the whole I'm not a monster because I'm a vampire thing he has).

Whatever the circumstance, Scott would 100% HATE Legundo's sire, exactly for the reasons of power and control. Scott wants to be the only person occupying his husband's mind.

it *would* make things very messy. Because you *know* Morcant wouldn't mention it to Abolish - it's only a short mission, Abolish is just monitoring Legundo, they shouldnt have to interact much, after all. The fact that Legs is Morcant's fledgling isn't mission critical, so he doesn't say anything. (Plus it'll be funnier to see Abolish's reaction to that info *after* the mission, anyway)

You could also justify Morcant showing up in the middle of canon if you go with the whole "the barrier is a one way thing, people can come in but not leave", and have him realise a month or so in (maybe because of some of the things he's feeling through the sire bond with Legs) that maybe the mission is getting a bit out of hand, so he decides it's time he goes to deal with things himself.

On the other, sir. Sir, I have this under control, I know I've been unable to report back, but this is literally my job, I've done more dangerous missions than this, did you really not trust me enough that you had to turn up halfway through this mission. Sir.

Only for Morcant to explain that, no, dear boy, he has no doubt in Abolish. It's his fledgling-in-law he doesn't trust.

yessssss

and I think Legs would have avoided Morcant quite heavily, especially after the divorce because "he turned me to make me something better than a murder and look what I still turned into", so yes he is comforted by having his sire there but also The Guilt.

And you know Scott is being SUCH a pissy baby about all of it. New person shows up in town, after everyone has been trapped in a fishbowl of horrors for a month so suddenly Scott isn't the centre of attention anymore. *Plus* it's his ex-husbands' sire? *Double plus* it's his not-boyfriend's boss/parental-ish figure????? Scott would be having SUCH a tantrum about it.

Because if Morcant turned Legs after his massacre and gave him the tools to become a doctor, what do you mean he turned around and raised this kid as a living weapon, after knowing how it fucked him over??

I do love me some grey/amoral Elder Vampires. So what if we blend the two potential reasons here. Morcant turned Legundo in the early days of the Organisation - before it's really solidified as a Thing - after he committed the massacre of the town. Here is this incredible strategist, who works with brutal efficiency. He would be the perfect potential agent. So Morcant turns him, and through the sire-bond is slammed with an overwhelming horror of guilt.

Well, can't send that one out into the field then, he's just gonna find a way to commit an assisted suicide, Morcant thinks. But surely he could still be useful. So he hands him the tools to become a healer. And Legs grabs onto the opportunity with both hands.

But Morcant's got the Elder Vampire weakness of thinking "I have all the time in the world", so doesn't worry when Legs sets off to do his travelling doctor thing. He'll be back when he's ready, it's fine :)

Then Scott happens. Morcant writes Legundo off as a lost cause. Shame, but, the Organisation was still an experiment when Legs was turned, they've locked down a lot of the process now, and they have plenty of other agents.

Maybe Legs was turned in the war against his will, maybe his sire saw the potential on Legundo as a doctor and didn't wanted to loose it, who knows... (well you know bcs is ur au lmaoo). Maybe the sire is a oc or another cc hehehe

Like I can see multiple ways this goes about

Scott could have encountered some fae slavers and rescued him asked for abolish to give him his name in exchange for helping him, or just asked for him to be his butler in exchange for helping. I can also see him trying to get in the face good graces by not coming across as wanting possession and instead he says something like what can I address you as? And maybe that would be after he already killed the slavers or kidnappers or really whatever. And this can be from a purely manipulative standpoint. And after enough time they kind of fall into love. But I can also see him taking the gamble and exchanging names. Like if you give me your name I will give you mine, mutual destruction/power over each other

Or he could have found out abolish's true name and forced him into servitude. You can get his toxic as you like with this. There's so many opportunities for literally anything

have this be why Scott accidentally bats during the house contest

It’s the first time that Abolish has stood close enough to Scott to trigger the soulmate instinct. Scott bats and just plants himself on Abolish’s chest

everyone is Freaking Out

From @premiumr4t (damn I’m glad u didn’t get legs and Owen, I don’t think I could have pitched them as a ship, they just have no chemistry or interesting interactions……….. /silly)

also can’t pitch these two cause they’d try to have a secret meet up in the woods and both get catastrophically lost, never to actually meet

fr tho, it keeps coming back to those strong and fucked up moral codes. Mr Do No Harm and Ms I Only Kill People Who Kill People. They would disagree about so much, but they’re both trying to Do Good.

And then add poor Cleo having to watch her two idiots dance around their traumas.

it is also widely accepted that women get raises less often because they don't ask as much as men. this is objectively not true.

it is also widely accepted that women are more talkative than men. this is objectively not true.

it is also widely accepted that women are taken less seriously when speaking because their speech patterns are associated with a "lack of confidence". this is objectively not true. [1][2][3]

every time we talk about gender discrimination, people look for an explanation that starts with women's behavior.

and every fucking time, actual research shows that across the board, women actually don't behave that differently from men.

Look, as a kid, I had the stereotypical 'boy autism'. I was not fucking good at masking. I was not using my 'superior feminine social skills' or whatever to learn the rules of the playground and hide my autism from the doctors.

I was sitting in the corner rocking and talking to myself, putting my toys into regimented lines, throwing up every time I ate anything with the Wrong taste or texture and lashing out at classmates who upset me because I didn't know how to use my words.

My mother claims that she first realised I might be autistic when somebody suggested that my brother might be autistic, and maybe she should read up on the condition, and then she got hold of a list of symptoms and realised that it was literally just a list of things about me.

Everyone fucking noticed. The kids at school noticed. The teachers noticed. The educational psychologist noticed. Like again, short of wearing a sign around my neck saying 'ATTENTION: MAY CONTAIN AUTISM', there really wasn't any way I could have been more obvious about it.

I apparently told one of the doctors that the reason I didn't have a friend at school was because the school had an odd number of students and it was therefore impossible for everyone to pair off without there being an outlier. That is… not a neurotypical line of reasoning.

Anyways, I didn't get a diagnosis until I was seventeen. I did get incredibly close at the age of ten, but was turned away at literally the final hurdle.

You can just put any combination of any of the blorbos in any Situation and just have so much fun

It’s like filling out a madlib

put any two (or three or five) characters together and see what happens if they kiss (or try to kill each other, or both)

Alright challenge accepted @rainydaydecaf

I made a wheel with the cast

thinking about Scott constantly referring to Legs as “his husband” and Legs immediately correcting with “EX husband”.

Scott comes over to pester Legs while he’s talking with some townsfolk and Legs tells him to piss off. And Scott’s just like “what? Am I not allowed to talk to my husband?” Legs, immediately: “EX husband”

the others start picking up on it

Scott questions Abolish about why he’s spending so much time with his husband and Abolish just flatly looks at him and goes “Ex Husband”.

Scott teases Owen about how he thinks it’s cute he can flirt with his husband. “Ex husband” Owen grumbles back and storms off.

there’s some scene where Scott is doing one of his ‘has everyone wrapped around his finger’ speeches to the townsfolk and he makes a comment like “you’re all happy to cozy up to my husband” and there is just a resounding chorus of “EX HUSBAND” from everyone

Scott just thinks it’s funny

she immediately back pedals by going “no listen, it’s a good thing cause that means that *when* you get back together you can have another wedding!!! We can have a massive party!!! It’ll be amazing!!!”
