You had been trying to tidy the house now that you have a day off but Strickler had other ideas. He followed you like a lost puppy emerald eyes sad as payed more attention to your work than him. You swept, you vaccumed, you mopped, you took out the trash, did the dishes and now you were polishing your shared desk.

Finally done Strickler grabbed the hand that wasn't wiping down the desk top. You hum curiously at the sudden grab before letting out a yelp as he pulls you back. A flash of light and green wings are wrapping around you as Strickler nuzzles the back of your neck letting out a deep rumbly purr. Huffing as you turn in his grip he smiles at you mischeviously.

"I love you my emerald but I have work to do." He grunts in response and pulls you close hiding in your neck as he continues his purring and preening. "Strickler honey our home needs to be cleaned." You whine but his wings simply wrap around you like a heavy blanket, keeping you warm and close as he cuddles you. His horns touch the underside of your chin as he continues to nuzzle you making small chirping noises as he takes in the smell of your clothes.

"I'll do it later..." He promises when you continue to squirm but your not sure if you trust his word as he snuggles into the blankets and pillows under him pulling you closer still.

"Honey..." He pulls away and smiles before silencing you with a kiss. Blushing and stuttering he smirks pleased with his distraction before he closes his eyes feeling you near him.

Sighing getting comfortable you snatch a blanket frol underneath him and smile as his chest becomes your personal pillow. "Good night my love." You murmer and he purrs.

Don't be sorry I love dogs !!!

Strickler

You find a peppered English cocker spaniel on your morning walk. The poor thing looks ragged and you can tell its more or less tame so you scoop them up in your arms before taking them back to the house. This poor dog needed to be rescued stat.

It doesn't have a collar and after a quick trip to the vet it isn't chipped either. Guess the dogs yours now.

Strickler is very OCD if you want any chance of keeping this dog you need to make them presentable. They don't like it but you wrestle them into a bath and wash them off. Once their clean you dry them off and brush out their matted furr. You trim their coat as best you can and carefully clip their nails. They aren't very happy with you but a fluffy towel patting and some dog treats later and now they absolutely love you.

"But Strickler it looks like you." Making pleading dog eyes as you hold up the dog Strickler signs taking a deep breath. About to say absolutely not he pauses. The dog did have green colored eyes and peppered fur similar to his hair color. It was also English. He groans giving in.

Reluctantly he agress that the dog can stay. A week later he's a total dog dad and in love with the pupper. Argos is doing amazing in his new home and is absolutely spoiled to death.

Otto

You found the poor dog on the side of the road and decided that was unaccapetable. They looked okay for being abandoned but they were skinny and needed food, water and a bath.

Taking pity on the brown German pimscher you lead them home with some treats you had in your pocket before getting them settled in the garage. Running inside you get any supplies you have in the house and head outside to help the poor pooch.

Knowing Otto wouldn't say yes unless the dog looked better you begin cleaning the poor guy up. Your able to brush their furr as they eat some food you'd gotten. When you finsih they curl up in your lap refusing to move. Giving them a kiss you pick them up taking them inside.

You named the dog Chocolate after his lush brown coat and because you and Otto love chocolate so much. Plus you just find it cute. Whenever you call that name he wags his tail so you think he likes it too.

As a werewolf it was your natrual instinct to build a den and settle with your mate. Thankfully Strickler as a changeling had that same urge but with nesting. Nuzzling him as you add more pillows and blankets to keep you extra warm and soft he chuckles at the semi fort, semi nest your building.

As you lay on top of him finally done with the fluffy creation he smiles claws carefully running through your hair. Purring deeply low rumbles escaping your throat he chuckles scratching your head just where you like it scratched. As you kick your leg happy at the feeling the forgotten movie plays in the background. Strickler with a mischevious look pulls you close humming as he wraps his arms around you. Feeling your heart beat against his as you lay on his chest he closes his eyes in bliss.

"I love you." He murmers. It'd been a long day but with you here it was worth it. Snuggling close you hum.

"I love you more." Giggling as he kisses you Strickler and you smile cuddling close as the movie plays on.

🎃👻🕷🕸🦇

Prompt: Masquerade

No ones in their human form as the party rages. The Order of course is very proper and has been around for hundreds of years, full of traditions and rules. But even those that follow the rules need to let loose every once in awhile.

Changelings use spells and magic to alter their appearances as they dress up and have fun dancing around. Music blasts through the Orders Halls bouncing around as people dance cheer and eat.

Glug is chugged like it's the end of the world as they have their night of fun. Druken stories are exchanged and friendships made as the party goes on through the night.

Some leave the party early and go wreck havoc on town with pranks and magic while others cause boomy traps and tricks to go off throughout the Order.

Everyone wakes up hungover and feeling sick but they all seem in a better mood the next day as they work and clean.

They're happy to have survived another Halloween. 🎃

You worked under cover together and had been close for a long time. Hundreds maybe thousands of years infact and in all this time Strickler couldn't word how he felt for you. Thousands of years of hugs and forehead or gentleman hand kisses. Holding you close when you were upset. Cerebrating your freedom from the darklands. Sparring together. Enjoying life in the mortal world and running the changeling order together. He knew he needed to tell you but he didn't know how.

He watched you in either of your forms and everyday he fell a lil more in love with you. Your fierceness to defend changelings, your dedication to the Order and him, and your undying loyalty to your friends like him. But the problem with being only friends until he did confess was that others could easily swoop in and take you away. Like Otto.

Otto that pig faced greedy changeling that had been trying to take his position for years now.

He glared as you two ate in your office alone together. You were laughing at a joke he was telling and he wanted to put a stop to it. He always brought you lunch but here you were with Otto who'd cooked you a meal and was currently flirting with you. He couldn't take it so he knew he had to do something about it.

Taking Otto's familiar via portal he put him in an adoption program under a new name and Otto could no longer transform and was stuck in his changeling form. He became useless to the Order and was eventually kicked out. Strickler watched with satisfaction as Otto left the Order alone and confused on what to do next. Not that it mattered what really satisfied him is that you were all his again.
