Ohhh, Bleu, yes please!

I have a fic I've had floating in my head forever about this.

Once more, i'mma outline my ideas and put this on my writing docket:

Feat. The Agency's Tibenoch and Shae

Tibs and Shae are on a portal-and-veil training run. They get captured by the Inquest (yes, this is reverting straight to GW2 stuff because it's an idea that's been in my head forever).

Tibs is targeted, but they take Shae because they know she's his apprentice.

Tibs is tied down, forced to watch Shae be tortured (and she holds her own for a while, she's a trooper, but the Inquest is cruel) as he's peppered with questions about vital interactions.

Shae nearly dies, and Tibs breaks down and feeds some information to their whumpers (gotta figure out how to make it something "vital" enough that they'll buy it, but not enough to seriously endanger the Agency's operations).

Satisfied, they shove bags over both agents' heads and drive them out into the wilderness before dumping them.

Tibs, relatively uninjured, returns to base.

This is gonna be fun.

It also leads to a bunch of awesome follow up fics where Tibs deals with

Guilt and self-loathing about how he was unhurt and Shae almost died

Fear that Shae won't like him or trust him

Punishment from the Commander for leaking information (though she has a bit of a caretaker moment where she thanks and commends him for saving Shae)

Punishment from Lylen for the same and for endangering Shae

Punishment from the Doc for endangering Shae, but also a moment of understanding because she knows what he had to do.

Comfort from Shae

Comfort from Marek, but Marek still whumps Tibs a bit because he was so afraid for the sprout. But when Tibs breaks down about his own fears and his own guilt, Marek switches to caretaker mode.

And from the Sprout:

Her fear and recovery

Her pride at lasting so long, and the reactions her various caretakers have to that

Her confusion about why Tibs feels bad. She knows he did what he had to, he still saved her, and she thought he'd be proud of her for lasting so long. But also some blame and anger - did she not sign up for this? She knows she's young and cute, but she signed up to fight.

Her fury with Lylen, the Commander and the Doc for whumping Tibs despite all he's been through.

Her own self-loathing and excessive training to "never be caught again".

Her nightmares and unexpected flashbacks or mild PTSD from the kidnapping.

Dear lord it's turned into a series...

Characters: The Commander (OC), Lieutenant Lylen Tull (OC)

A/N: This fic is a response to the above post from @whump-the-gun​ (I couldn’t figure out if I could put horizontal rules and read mores in a reblog... I’m so bad at Tumblr). I loved it so much, and it gave me the fuel I needed to make a full character out of the generic Commander figure in Tibenoch’s fics.

The Commander is the stoic, headstrong leader of my little cast from The Agency. She’s intense, disciplined, harsh and holds high expectations of her people - and even higher expectations of herself. She hides any injuries, pain, or distress from her troops - only a few people see her vulnerable. 

Lieutenant Lylen is one of those few people. He’s the primary caretaker to the Commander’s whump, and her right-hand man. He’s the soft foil to her hard edge, but still a skilled soldier and officer. He tries to remind the Commander to be gentler on herself and her troops.

It had only been three days since she’d gotten back to command. If it had been any of her agents, she would’ve insisted they stay on bed rest or at least off duty for another week.

But she wasn’t an agent. She was the Commander. She had to be strong for her troops. She couldn’t show weakness.

So why couldn’t she fucking hold a pen?

Lieutenant Lylen Tull is the Commander’s right-hand and a friendly guy, but certainly still a high ranking officer of the Agency.

Name: Lylen Tull

35, Human

Male, he/his, straight(? - could be, like, 90:10 opposite:other bi, or heteroflexible. He hasn’t really thought of his sexuality before.)

Caretaker, occasional whumpee

Mild cinnamon roll, but easily able to switch to “somewhat burly protective type”. Presents a fairly “soft” and friendly face, but is almost as ruthless and tactical as the Commander internally. Knows how to present himself to get a certain reaction.

Is more the type of person to rush to be a caretaker than to track down a whumper.

Relationships

Commander: The Commander is Lylen’s goal. Her leadership style, though he admits he couldn’t be as cold as she is, is what he models his off of. He can’t say he views the Commander as a lover because both of them are too invested in their positions to see beyond them.

Dr. Fainleaf: Kieran is a kindred soul for Lylen, with both of them being primarily caretakers. Both of them tend to caretake for the other if their primary focuses end up stressing them out.

Tibenoch: Tibs is, to a degree, Lylen’s future. He’s much older than the Lt., but he’s a sort of mentor figure and older brother. While Lylen outranks Tibs, the older Agent’s experience and groundedness provide some guidance the Lt. sometimes needs.

Shea: A “little sister” type for the Lt. He feels protective of her, and his occasional whumper scenes would likely be him whumping Tibs for doin’ something to get Shae hurt.

One thought Ben has had about Lyla:
