Quastari - ☆

@strcys asked: "I hope you like spicy food!" for will !!! hi !!!

" just how spicy are we talking? "

the question is followed by a teasing smirk & a tilt of his head. will riker was no stranger to PUSHING his own limits - the question was less genuine & more of an invitation.

Inside me, something seethes. Inside me, some feral animal claws at my ribcage, trapped.

WISHLIST

below are plots & dynamics i'd like to explore with my muses. if you're interested in any of them, please DM me on tumblr or discord.

all plots are not set in stone - they can be tweaked & changed to suit your muse or the setting. these are simply jumping off points.

JONATHAN ARCHER :

plots - your muse is captain of their own ship (starfleet or otherwise) . it's damaged and the enterprise rescues them.

dynamics - your muse and jon are old friends from starfleet academy before their lives took them in separate directions. whatever that may mean. - your muse and jon are old rivals from starfleet academy. there is still tension, especially after jon was given command of the enterprise. ♡ tentative love. your muse is under jon's command, yet they grow feelings for each other.

BARRETT TORBON :

plots - even though barrett is trying to lay low, he ends up saving your muse in his bear form. - your muse is a hunter ( monster or regular ) & crosses paths with barrett.

dynamics - a younger / recently-changed shifter / werewolf is taken under barrett's wing. ♡ despite always keeping others at a distance, barrett finds himself falling in love with your muse & doesn't know how to go about it.

ARTHUR MORGAN :

plots - your muse is a bounty hunter / rival gang member & crosses paths with arthur. - your muse is an outlaw who ends up working with arthur to run from the law.

dynamics - your muse joins the gang - arthur doesn't really trust them yet. ♡ arthur & your muse have grown quite close. it's enough for arthur to start wondering how life would be away from the gang.

WILLIAM RIKER :

plots - when the enterprise hosts an event, your muse & will strike up conversation in ten forward.

dynamics - your muse is an unruly officer & will is their commanding officer. they butt heads often. - literally anything where will gets into a competitive rivalry.

JACK DANIELS :

plots - your muse is another statesman spy & is put on assignment with jack. - your muse is jack's target. he's trying to get as close as possible.

dynamics - jack knows he's one of statesman's best. he doesn't like the idea of sharing that title with anyone else. ♡ your muse knows very little about jack's true work. he tries to keep your muse away from his work as much as possible.

VIRA'TER :

plots - your muse visits the station & attracts young vira's fascination. he just loves to learn about others.

dynamics - vira has grown up very sheltered so far. he might benefit from someone showing him how to bend the rules once in a while.

dynamics ♡ your muse & kaidan somehow find love amidst the destruction of their galaxy.

STANLEY PINES :

plots - stan hasn't changed in all these years, as evident from a black eye & a messed-up hand. he insists the fight was worth it.

dynamics - your muse is some "snot-nosed kid" - & painfully reminds stan of how he was at their age. ♡ after feeling alone for so many years, stan finally finds someone who really understands him. he doesn't have to be the bad twin - just stan.

BAYEK :

plots - your muse asks bayek for a favor. he's kind & loyal - he'll do it. but your muse is coming along.

     the glow of his cigarette is the only real way to tell that arthur morgan was there at all. he leans against the thick trunk of an oak tree, which shields him from the moonlight that's bathed miss baxter during her goodbye. it makes her dress nearly as PALE as her skin - almost white, in fact. as if she were already in her fancy wedding gown. the careful steps to meet him like the walk down the aisle.

     he forces that thought from his mind as she approaches him. pulls on his cigarette again, making the end glow like a tiny wildfire. ❝ alright, then, ❞ arthur says, pushing off the tree with a sigh.

               but he doesn't approach the horses. not yet.

     with a thumb hanging from his gun belt, arthur instead steps closer to hope baxter. eyes utterly UNSEEN under the darkness of his hat. nothing but a dark silhouette as he takes a moment to properly size her up. arthur's met her kind before - polite & put together on the surface. maybe even kind. but utterly innocent & ignorant.

     ❝ i dunno what your daddy told you 'bout me, but lets get a few things straight - you do everything i tell you. no questions. no backchat. i ain't a couch driver, ma'am ... i KILL people. an' your daddy hired me to kill anyone who might wanna take you. so please, do bear that in mind whenever you wanna go frolicking or whatever it is you like to do. ❞

𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 @quastari !

it  was  decided  they  should  head  out  before  the  crack  of  dawn  ,  utilizing  the  cover  of  𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔  to  slip  out  of  town  unnoticed  .  there  had  been  a  brief  introduction  to  her  hired  guide  ,  arthur  morgan  ,  but  her  father  had  done  most  of  the  talking  then  .  she'd  offered  a  polite  smile  &  nod  ,  but  not  much  else  ,  unsure  what  the  social  norms  in  this  situation  are  -  if  anything  about  this  could  be  considered  'normal'  .

❝  please  be  careful  ,  ❞  is  the  last  request  damien  baxter  makes  of  his  beloved  daughter  before  she  departs  ,  his  hands  squeezing  both  of  hers  tightly  -  𝑹𝑬𝑳𝑼𝑪𝑻𝑨𝑵𝑻  to  let  her  go  .  they  had  scarcely  been  apart  since  her  mother's  death  ,  &  even  less  so  since  her  sister  had  run  off  -  all  they  have  left  is  each  other  .  it  shows  in  the  way  they  embrace  ,  holding  tight  for  a  good  long  moment  .  he  presses  a  kiss  to  the  crown  of  her  head  before  sending  her  off  .

 ❝  i'll  be  okay  ,  promise  ,  ❞  her  smile  is  𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆  ,  but  her  eyes  are  sad  .

with  goodbyes  concluded  ,  there  is  nothing  left  to  do  but  mount  her  horse  -  whom  she's  staunchly  refused  to  part  with  for  even  these  few  short  weeks  .  she's  only  packed  the  bare  minimum  for  the  journey  ,  or  as  close  as  she  is  able  to  get  .  had  hope  been  another  woman  of  her  stature  she  might  have  dreaded  ,  even  𝑳𝑶𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑫  the  prospect  of  roughing  it  like  this  -  but  she  finds  herself  actually  looking  forward  to  the  simplicity  of  it  all  .  despite  going  to  these  great  lengths  in  the  interest  of  her  safety  ,  she  is  actually  quite  happy  to  have  some  time  away  from  the  pressures  &  constraints  of  her  typical  life  .  the  whole  affair  feels  like  a  breath  of  fresh  air  ,  the  last  one  it  seems  she'll  ever  breathe  .  hope  intends  to  savor  it  .

after  a  final  wave  &  one  last  look  toward  𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆  ,  she  turns  toward  arthur  .  ❝  i'm  ready  .  ❞
