This post is for prompts that focus on crossovers between various slavery AUs, with the crossover wizards.

Please put the use name of your slave Matt in the subject line of your comment eg. "Feral: Fuck or 'die' AGAIN!"

I'll move a couple of prompts over to start us off, but feel free to ignore them and put your own.

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Yeah, we do enough hugging. I just haven't been able to enjoy it properly recently."

Jamie nodded sadly. "It was worse before he got to be DA--he and Hendrick would come home, barely talk, avoid us all, and go to bed in the study half the time. Feeling rejected is never good," and he took a soft breath, "Do you think you'll be angry at us for a long time?"

"I'm not angry at you. I wish I'd had the confidence to speak up when I realised it was going to be too much, but it's not your fault, any of your fault, that I didn't."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

Jamie frowned a little, and said more accusingly than he meant, "Do you ever actually feel angry? Or is that wholly gone?"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"When I think about the people who stole me I'm angry at them. And...sometimes I'm angry when I see free people treat pets badly." He confessed a bit unhappily.

"That's pretty normal," Jamie said carefully, relieved and a tad worried. "Hendrick and us, we get angry sometimes at the cases they work. And as long as you aren't violent--you can't hit or hurt anyone, right?--as long as that's true, we can work it out."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"No, I'm not violent." He looked at Jamie in shock. "Can't hit or hurt anyone, I had to do a full course on meditation before I could manage pet self-defense classes."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"See? So I think you should let yourself feel angry sometimes then," Jamie said easily, never actually have been afraid of Toffee hurting a fly. "I just--bottling things up hasn't worked so well in this household.

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Yeah, it'll still take a while though."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

Jamie nodded, and they lapsed into deep quiet. He took a soft breath, knowing now the rhythm of these conversations-- "Do you want to know about why Master Erik doesn't speak to his parents?"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"If it won't cause problems for you to tell me, then yes." Far better than risking saying something to Master Erik and hurting him.

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

Jamie took a deep breath and nodded. "It all began when he was a child, I think--Master Erik was left alone to their pet most of the time, who doted on him, and when he got to be a bit older and they started to take a bit of an interest because he wasn't a little child anymore, he was...offended. And when they realized how attached he'd gotten as a teenager, everything--it all exploded."

Jamie grimaced.

"They sold her after renaming her while they were on vacation--Master Erik came back and had to run out and try and get her back. He did eventually track her down and buy her himself, but then his parents threatened to have her have a bad accident. I think they thought he'd sell her off again, and he did--but only as a donation to the Academy here. And he has never since forgiven them."

Jamie huffed softly. "And once they saw him with Hendrick, and they realized he had never loved them more than pets...they didn't forgive him either."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Oh..." He trailed off, horrified by what he'd learned. "They weren't good parents then. I know a lot of pets do take care of children, but the parents are still supposed to pay them attention as well." He hesitated, before continuing.

"Did you ever meet the pet who raised Master Erik, or did she have to be sent to another branch to protect her?"

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

"They really weren't, at all. But he hates pity and he would never welcome any expressions of sympathy along those lines--he's thoroughly cut them off from absolutely every bit of himself, and that's his kind of revenge. Though he does feel angry about them sometimes still--he usually reacts to that by taking elaborate care of us," Jamie said softly, and then considered Toffee's question.

"I met her once--she--" Jamie hesitated for a minute, unsure how to convey quite what he meant. "She was, um, she was rather...when he gave her to the Academy, he said some things I think he regrets. Horrible, mean things. I don't think he meant them--stuff about how he didn't need her or anyone, along those lines. I suspect he feels so guilty about them that he can't apologize by this point."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"And so she doesn't quite know if he meant them, or if he was trying to protect her still."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Indeed. And of course it's just so deep a wound that nobody wants to re-open it and bleed all over again," he said with a sad nod. "So be careful of speaking of it."

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"I won't ask about it where Master Erik can hear, I promise."

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"See to that," Jamie said softly, and then turned his head to see the sun setting--they must have been talking for an awfully long time.

"I'll shut the curtains, and turn the light on." He offered, hearing Ivannya coming up the stairs as he moved.

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"That would be lovely," Jamie murmured, and turned so he was facing Ivannya as she climbed up the stairs two at a time, breathless and curious.

"Hi, Toffee! Hi, Jamie! How is everyone! Why are we all in here?!" she asked in one breath, excited. "Are we ordering in tonight? It's late!"

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"We came here so I could plan out what to make for Hendrick. And work on Jamie's vest." He answered as he settled back down. He glanced over at Jamie before answering the next question.

"Master decided we should order pizza tonight. Would you mind putting Hendrick's old sweater away again please?"

Re: Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

Ivannya blinked at his asking her to do things, pleasantly surprised. "Sure," she said, and flitted over to delicately fold and place the beloved sweater away. "That sounds really nice--have you picked out a pattern to replace it with?" she asked as she came back. "And his vest is really pretty so far," she peered over his shoulder.

Toffee: Overload and Burnout

[(Anonymous)]

"Thank you." He smiled at Ivannya, opening his new ebook up to the pattern.

"And we decided on the Lush cardigan, with the band of floral lace around the shoulders."

"Ooh, that's so pretty," she said approvingly. "He'll absolutely love that, he doesn't let himself be a pretty pet anymore enough, this will make him so happy. And then he'll know you really love him. What color did you want to use?"

"Well, I'm going to be using Cascade Roslyn," He started his explanation. "and I considered a dark green, but you don't get the same tweed effect from those, so I was thinking one of the darker blues - midnight, navy or dark denim. Or the deep red has a really nice tweed effect."
