Tysm for the ask!! RAGGH!! 💞💞💞💞 I lovelovelove asks smmmm!!

@cry1ng-at-m1dnight, Steve mentioned 💙💙💙

Steve does let the gang babysit Eloise, mainly when he's at school because otherwise he just takes her with him, even at work since his boss is chill and doesn't care. If Evie is out of town when he's at school, it's normally Soda or Darry that watches her. Soda can just bring Evie to the DX if he has a shift then, or watch her at home if his shifts are later. Darry would normally have work, but he watches her if he gets a day off during the week. Steve only goes to school 2 days a week after Eloise is born anyway (Tuesday and Thursday), which doesn't do great for his grades, but his baby girl is more important to him. Plus, breast pumping was a horrible, slow, painful nightmare in 1967 and he'd like to do as little of that as possible. 😒

If he and Evie decide they want a night to themselves to go out, the gang gets to watch Eloise. 💞 They normally have more than one of them watching her at once, since they hardly leave each other alone anyways, but there has been occasions where they have all been on their own with her (except Johnny because he's not able to due to his disabilities after the fire. He only ever meets her in the version of my AU where he and Dally live since Steve would have only been 5 months pregnant during the events of the book.)

Like yeah sure, the super rare avian finally mated with someone and it’s one our Zoo employees, fuck it why not

I can just imagine Scar’s coworkers like “bro… the BIRD MAN???? REALLY?”

Scar getting embarrassed trying to explain his unusual tastes

LMFAO THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR!

Grian is the Zoo's precious baby in the sense that he's super rare. But he frustrates the hell out of most of the employees. He's moody and a nuisance, and if you get too close he bites, and boy does that hurt. One guy lost a finger to getting too close to Grian.

I LOVE MEN.

YIPPEEEE

GRIAN IS GETTING KNOTTED WOOOO

Grian probably notices something is off with Scar. He was very antsy for a few days before he disappeared into his base. He finally decides to go over and check in his poor friend, wanting to make sure he's alright. He probably asks Cub if he knows anything and informs Cub he wants to go over to check on Scar. Cub shakes his head, but Grian could have sworn he saw Cub wear a sly smirk. Grian heads over to Scar's base, knocking on the door. When no one answers, he steps inside the base. The base is thick with the smell of burnt sugar and something else. Grian wrinkles his nose but ventures further into the base. He calls for Scar, peaking into rooms. Suddenly, something jumps at him from behind, pinning him to the floor. Grian screams, struggling to get free until he notices the scarred hand pinning him down. He breathes a sigh of relief, knowing it's just Scar. He berates Scar for scaring him and tries to get him to let him up.

Scar growls, not moving from his spot above Grian. He sniffs at Grian's hair, and a hand places itself in Grian's feathers. Grian makes a confused sound until Scar starts grinding against his ass. Grian can feel the erection and it's massive. The avian is quite flustered now, still trying to get Scar to let him up and talk to him. Scar doesn't reply, simply moving to pick Grian up and carry him to his den.

Grian is tossed on the bed of blankets that remind him a lot of his nest. Grian takes the moment to look up at Scar. His green eyes are glazed, and he lets out a little whine. There's a pair of ears and a tail that's tucked between his legs. He stares at Grian hopefully. The avian blinks, suddenly realizing what Scar wants. He reassures the man the den is perfect, and he did such a good job. Scar's tail wags excitedly. Then Grian looks around the room, noticing Scar's attempts at getting off because he was so desperate. Grian looks back over to Scar, taking in his massive erection. Grian is only slightly embarrassed to say he's wet. He slowly strips down. Sweater first, then his pants and boxers. He parts his legs, watching Scar, whose pupils had gone wide, but he had stayed frozen in the spot where he stood. Grian crooks a finger and coaxes Scar closer. Scar practically trips over himself to do so. He watches Grian run a hand over his folds, rubbing at his clit till Scar could pick up the arousal. Scar begins to pant and whine with need. Grian just smirks, coaxing Scar closer again. The avian grabs the brown hair and drags his face down. Scar's nose is quickly pressed into the wet, warmth that is driving him mad with desire. All he can smell is sex and his tail wags so fast he's worried a bone will dislocate. Well- distantly worried. Grian breaths out a small, pleasured sigh when he licks at the folds. That's enough for Scar to dive in, excitedly licking at Grian's pussy and clit like a dog does with peanut butter. Grian grabs Scar's head, moaning and whimpering as he came on Scar's tongue. That tongue laps up every drop.

Grian pulls Scar's head back when he kept licking his pussy too much. He instead lay back on the bed, wings spread, and legs parted. Scar wonders if he still has to use his tongue. Grian reassures him he can knot him. Scar is back to pinning Grian down, not giving the avian a chance to speak before he slams his cock fully inside Grian. The avian's back arches and he cums again. Scar excitedly begins to rut his hips into Grian, finding his cervix quickly and slamming into it. When he shoves his cock into Grian's womb, his cocks know quickly swelled into place. Grian, meanwhile, is screaming and moaning. It's a painful stretch but so pleasurable at the same time. Scar lets his knot swell into place before he begins to inspect Grian. He sniffs at his hair, kissing his temple. Then he licks at a spot on Grian's neck, marking it. His hand moves through Grian's inner feathers, and the avian lets out a needy whine. That sound sends a rush of desire through Scar. He leaned in to whisper into Grian's ear,

"I'm gonna fill you up. Fuck all my pups into you. You'll have such a big litter. A beautiful litter filled with my pups." He rubs Grian's belly where his tip pokes up out of Grian's lower stomach, right where the womb is. Scar quickly begins his thrusts again. Grian loses track of how many times he cums that night, he remembers telling Scar that it was ok to use him as much as he needed. He promises Scar he's here to help, so Scar could keep fucking him through his sleep. Grian does pass out from overstimulation. He wakes up to balls slapping against him as another load of cum fis his womb. His belly has swollen so much from all the cum, Grian doesn't mind as long as he's helping Scar.

They stay stuck together for the whole rut. Scar only pulls out a few times for the bathroom, but he has a plug for Grian so all his cum stays inside him. Other than that Grian has been dragged around by the cock knotted inside him. If Scar goes somewhere in the base, then Grian is being dragged along, whimpering at the tugging of the knot in his womb. Near the end of Scar's rut, he gives Grian his mating mark.

It doesn’t matter if they’re two mermen, two mermaids, two merfolk, or even a merman and a mermaid. Who is which depends on their dynamic.

And they find it baffling that humans limit themselves to something so simple like gender. Why is the man always automatically the “groom”? Why can’t the woman be the “groom” and the man be the “bride”?

And what do you mean two cis human men can’t have a child together? Sure, merpeople also adopt sometimes, but why can’t two humans with the same “sexual equipment” conceive? It makes no sense to them.
