Ooh, may I have # 18 on the soulmate prompt list with Marcus Pike, please? I'm very curious as to what sort of animals show up and where it's gonna happen! đ
Thanks so much for the request! I really love the idea of this universe, and there are so many possibilities! I had to think long and hard about what kind of animal Marcus might have, before I settled on the bloodhound - loyal, gentle, determined, it's ability to sniff out leads... that ones a bit of a stretch but I stand by it lol Also how can you say no to either of their faces?! I hope you enjoy it! Soulmate AU prompt list here can be found here!
Marcus Pike x Reader, Soulmate AU where everyone has a "soul animal" that only they and their soulmate can see
The hallway outside your apartment was littered with boxes and furniture, a team of movers working to get everything inside and placed. They nodded apologetically at you as you maneuvered through the maze they had created but you waved off their worries. You had heard someone was moving into the vacant apartment across the hall and apparently today was the day. You hovered near the open door to the apartment, considering popping in to introduce yourself to the new tenant. From the doorway, you tried to watch for someone who didnât have the same uniform as the other movers, but no one passed your field of view.
One of the movers was hanging a large piece of art on the far wall. The painting took up the majority of the open space, a swirl of colours but mostly red and yellow. It was more abstract than anything, and you wondered if it had any particular meaning. A dog sat a few feet behind the mover, watching intently as he worked. It was nearly comical that the dog seemed to be supervising the mover, like he was worried something would happen to the painting.
Almost like it sensed a new presence, the dog turned over its shoulder to spot you. It stood right away, his long jowls and wrinkles swaying as he faced you. Before you could greet the dog, he barked one low woof at you.
The stoat on your shoulder startled at the bark. You felt it uncurl itself from where it was happily laying, perking up on its hind legs to stare at the dog. It started chirping angrily at the large, wrinkly bloodhound. You learned over the years to follow the instincts your soul animal had, so you backed out of the apartment, leaving the dog alone. You wondered why the slow-moving creature had aggravated your little stoat, trying to get it to settle down as you made your way to the elevator. Aspen, as you had named it when your family had gone skiing when you were young, eventually stopped chirping and squeaking, but it seemed on edge for the rest of the day. You wondered if the dog was mean, or if your stoat was picking up on the energy of its owner. You hoped your new neighbor wasnât going to be hard to live near.
You didnât see the newest occupant of your floor for a few days afterwards. The movers and clutter were gone, so you assumed they were settling in, possibly even sorting out their routine. Things like commuting to work, where the nearest stores were. Moving somewhere new was a lot of work. Despite not seeing them, Aspen still seemed extra on alert anytime you passed their door.
You were standing in the hallway, unlocking the door to your apartment, when you heard the sounds of another lock being opened. Before you could turn towards the sound, wondering if you were finally going to meet your new neighbor, your soul animal had skittered down off your shoulder. You watched as it bounded towards the opening door, stopping only when a man stepped into the hallway.
âHi there,â you called over to catch his attention.
He looked up at you, seemingly startled but he quickly recovered with a polite smile. âHello.â He greeted, adjusting the hamper on his hip. He was wearing a plain t-shirt and sweatpants, clearly on his way down to do laundry.
âYou must be the new neighbor.â You pointed out before giving him your name.
âMarcus.â He introduced himself, closing the door now that the bloodhound had toddled out beside him.
âWhatâs your dogâs name?â You asked, curious.
Marcus seemed to freeze on the spot, looking at you with wide eyes. You faltered under his spooked gaze, almost wondering if you had said something other than what you had meant to.
The stoat on the floor started chirping at the dog, kicking itâs little feet. You had never seen it get this worked up before. You frowned, worried that this man and his dog really meant trouble. His bloodhound looked at your stoat, tilting its head curiously before letting out a lone bark.
Your own eyes widened as you watched the stoat move closer, the bloodhound sniffing at the ground as it took cautious steps forward. You had never seen an animal react to your stoat before, you thought only you could see your soul animal-
âYou can see Silver?â Marcus gaped, slowly setting down his hamper.
It took a second for you to catch up. The dog could see your stoat, your stoat could see the dog, you shouldnât be able to see the dog-
âSilver is your soul animal?â You breathed.
The bloodhound had lowered itâs head to the ground, showing submission to the stoat. Apparently pleased, your stoat closed the gap, sniffing directly at Silverâs nose. Silverâs tail began wagging as he patiently let the smaller creature examine him.
âAnd thatâŠâ Marcus pointed, apparently having not seen your animal until he was no longer holding the hamper.
âAspen,â you filled him in on the name you had given your soul animal as a child.
âAspen is your soul animal.â Marcus stated.
You watched in disbelief as Aspen climbed up on top of Silver, sniffing at the dogâs fur on itâs back once it was there. Silver looked over one shoulder then the other, trying to keep an eye on the tiny creature. His tail kept wagging even as he tried to locate it.
You looked away from the animals, meeting Marcusâ eyes properly for the first time. He was looking at you with soft, brown eyes. Even in the short distance between the two of you, you could see the shine of hope and affection he wore on his sleeve. Youâd never been looked at quite like that before.
You smiled shyly under the attention. Marcus was attractive, and you could tell under his lounge clothes that he was fit. You had just returned from running errands, sunglasses pushed on top of your head, lazy sandals on⊠You wondered what Marcus thought of you.
âI, uhâŠâ You started nervously. âIf I knew I was meeting my soulmate today, I would have dressed up.â You joked, trying to ease the tension.
Marcus smiled brightly, a dimple showing on his right cheek. It was absolutely adorable. âNo, thatâs a perfect outfit to wear to dinner.â
âDinner?â You frowned, quirking an eyebrow in confusion.
âUnless you already ateâŠâ Marcus backtracked, starting to look a bit like a wounded puppy. You had to grin, already beginning to understand his soul animal. Even if you had, how could you say no? Those eyes were going to get you into all kinds of trouble, you could tell.
âDinner sounds great.â
Marcusâ smile shone once more, relieved you'd accepted his invitation, although it fell quickly only a moment later. âAny recommendations? I donât really know the area yet.â He chuckled, running a hand through his hair.
âIâll take care of it.â You nodded. âMeet me back here in 5?â
He picked up his hamper, resting it on his hip as he opened his door once more. âMake it 3.â
Having noticed Marcus opening the door, Silver stood up. He shook his head, his jowls wagging back and forth. Aspen jumped ship, choosing to jump off instead of being thrown off the larger dog. It chirped in annoyance of being dislodged from the bloodhoundâs back. The stoat seemed to already be pretty attached to the slow, lazy dog.
âSee you in three.â

Youâve known Francisco Morales for so many years. You sent letters to him while he was deployed, you stood on his side of the altar along with his team members for his wedding, you helped coordinate his baby shower, you held him in your arms as he mourned his crumbling marriage, and you stood by him as he got back to his feet to act the part of the single father he now was. Always smiling for him along the sidelines with him none the wiser to your true feelings. You love him, truly and deeply, but always silently. Pope and Benny both knew, and had consistently been on you about telling him, but you just⊠canât bring yourself to. Not anymore.

Had a long talk with a friend about tumblr after going on hiatus. I didn't actually know if I'd ever touch my beloved hellsite again.
Because... I'd hit a breaking point. I couldn't stand it anymore.
There's so much bullshit everywhere you look.
So much goddamn drama.
I'm an observational person by nature. I watch and I pay attention. I'm always cataloging information whether I mean to or not. It's just how my brain works.
And all I saw was... Pain.
Everyone hurting each other for no reason other than a difference in opinion on FICTIONAL PEOPLE. That exist in a world that is also FICTIONAL. Or about CELEBRITIES that they will never know on a personal level.
We can all feel close to an actor or musician, etc.
But in the end?
We don't know these people.
We get shown a side of who they are.
They're actors. Some of them so mind-blowing at it that it's breathtaking. Wouldn't you think they could present a certain persona if they wanted to? Anytime they wanted to?
I'm not saying what we're seeing isn't real. That who they're presenting to us isn't true to them.
I'm not saying it isn't organic.
What I'm saying is that we don't know them on a personal everyday life level to be able to properly evaluate what kind of person they are.
Belittling and torturing someone with emotional trauma? Because of that?
That mentality is in need of a sharp hip check.
When I say that what I mean is this:
Sometimes you get so deeply immersed in a world and a way of thinking that reality slips away a little. You stop seeing things as clearly. As rationally. You stop seeing people as people.
I've personally had to hip check myself many times in the last year. Many, many, times. Because I got caught up in the euphoria of it all.
I acquired blorbo vision.
Several times I had to pull back, take those blorbo vision glasses off, and take a breath.
Reevaluate.
I would take time to consider if the things that were upsetting me were something that merited it. If it was something of any actual consequence.
And every time?
It wasn't.
It didn't matter in the face of human decency.
It didn't matter because fandom is make believe.
Every inch of it is fiction. Even the ones that revolve around real people. It's all fiction.
But what isn't fiction?
The person behind your favorite blog isn't fiction.
The person behind the blog that makes you feel like screaming and cursing isn't fiction.
But the arguments?
That goes back into fiction land.
There's dissecting a film because it's fascinating or vile.
Then there's thinking that moment of fiction is worth someone taking their life. That we need to argue over the merits of something that happens in fiction like it's on our own front porch. That something happening in fiction has any bearing on real life ideals.
I have been in fandom for over twenty years.
I am a card carrying elder at this point.
And this shit? This new wave of toxic mental warfare?
Fuck that shit.
All of it.
I would say that fandom in it's current form can go to hell but, it already is hell.
My friend did talk sense into me about the situation, though.
Going forward it's gonna be idgaf land:
I'm tried of censoring my opinions.
I'm tired of fandoms bullshit politics.
I'm tired of the drama.
I'm tired of being told what I should think and who I should be and what is acceptable for me to feel.
That shit? Can get fucked. I'm done with it.
Fandom is for fun.
Fandom is for screaming yourself hoarse to your friends about how much you love a character, a show, a book, a graphic novel, a band; anything and everything that makes you feel like a four year old with your brain all lit up like it's fucking Christmas morning.
It is not about being pushed into a goddamn box and being told to behave.
It's not about being shunned for having your own opinions and emotions.
It's not about being told you'll have your privileges removed if you step out of line.
A line that someone else has drawn with invisible ink.
That shit? Can also get fucked.
Say goodbye to censoring and hello to idgaf I'm here to enjoy my blorbos and be stupid. đđđ

Beautiful ghost!Ezra fanart by @honestly-shite
You donât remember when you began seeing the specters in your day to day life, believing them to be just oddly dressed people up until a certain point. You remember the day you realized that the people you saw were not living, however. You had pointed at a rather odd looking man in a top hat that towered over you, exclaiming to your mom about the funny hat. The man had smiled at you and given you a little wink, but your mother had gawked at you like you were the one with a two foot tall hat perched on your head. It became quickly apparent that you possessed a gift that those around you did not; a gift that you would have to keep a secret unless you had a wish to spend the rest of your days in an asylum.
They were everywhere, and the only way you could truly set them apart was the slight translucent quality to their skin and their often time-inappropriate clothing. As you grew older you realized that it was not, in fact, normal for adults to walk around in Victorian era garments, and for young men to be adorned in shiny metal armor.

The day had been sort of a daze.Â
By the time the sun had set gently behind the horizon, muting the sunlit sky into hues of lavender, you were already a few drinks deep, laying back on the front steps of the complex. Time was passing, the seconds turning to minutes, turning to hours, playing out so beautifully in the sky overhead with clouds and colors floating, changing with every breath, and you werenât moving. You just couldnât find the energy.Â
Not to take a picture, not to flip through the diligently kept journal in your lap, not to do a damn thing but drink. It wasnât a solution but at this point, it didnât seem like it could do any more damage.Â
The lavender grew darker. The soft orange of the streetlamps ignited up and down the length of the barely busy street. Windows that had previously welcomed the temperate afternoon breeze shut to the aching chill that blew in with the gradual fall of the blanket of dusk over the city. Glasses and bottles clinked with a cheer of âsaludâ in the small restaurant down the street, coupleâs arguments behind closed doors leaking into the street, the roar of a motorcycleâs engine being cut short as the chastising slap of a mother knocked the poor boy in the adjacent alley out of his confident bluff. All the little things.Â
It was always the little things.Â
