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: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"I thought Danny was coming along already, that Master Erik wanted to talk with him." He blinked, feeling a bit confused about that. "And I met Golubushka in Danny's apartment. He's odd, but he's not nasty or anything, he just really doesn't trust Danny for some reason."

Jamie: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"It wasn't very well communicated, I don't think," Jamie said, fussing over the tea now. "Well, we'll just have to figure that out ourselves, won't we, Toffee? Now please get the sugar cube bowl and carry it over to the table while I carry the pot and cup tray," Jamie directed him. "With the carved spoon too, please."

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"Of course." He smiled at Jamie, well aware that he got snippy when things like this happened.

Golubushka: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt noted how Jamie snapped but Toffee's heart was mostly calm, only jumping up a little bit and not sharp or terrified, and then the air filled with tea-smells, complex and delicious and the cups sounding expensive, all cold and the slightly not perfect smooth that meant painted by people's hands, and Matt sat up quite eagerly to get some as Toffee offered to pour, and Matt felt suddenly cold and anxious, aware from Feral that tea meant so much, all layers and layers and symbols and songs, and Matt knew almost none of them but bit his lips to be quiet and not rude.

Danny: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

He could see that Golubushka was anxious for some reason...oh he'd asked about pet teas once. And the others all agreed to let Toffee have the practise.

"Thank you Toffee. Even tea chosen for flavour more than the effect is relaxing, especially since there's no ritual in sharing tea with friends."

Re: Danny: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt hid his reaction as best he could, put on smiling sweet-pet face and show nothing, but felt a wave of icy humiliation and then total boiling rage splash and drown him, and jammed dangerous feelings down and down, pets really could not afford to feel this way, and when he just could not stand to be in the same room any longer he kept himself polite and stood up, murmuring that he needed the bathroom, excuse me, and when someone offered to help he used his lawyer-voice total authority but assertive to say No. and when in there took deep breaths, this was happening more and more, offers of help or attempts to soothe made him furious, and Jessica thought it was normal and Foggy best-person-ever-Foggy was so understanding and gently left Matt to do things himself more or wait for comforting hugs or kiss or tea, but Matt absolutely could not put up with more and more mean little jabs at how little he knew about this world and attempts to throw him off, he would snap if it happened one more time, and he really didn't want to lose it, if he started screaming in rage he might never stop, and anger was far far too scary anyways, and he gulped down a handful of icy cold water and carefully used it and a clean towel to wash his face to try and calm down, deep breaths and riding the waves instead of drowning, like Jessica's friend had told her and she told Matt.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"Should we wait for Golubushka to get back?" He asked anxiously, looking around and trying to figure out what had him so upset. "Do you think he wanted to pour and was insulted by the idea of letting me practise instead?"

Ivannya and Hendrick bristled at that suggestion, and Danny shook his head.

"No, I don't think that was the issue. Jamie, will the tea be okay in the pot until he comes back?"

(OOC: Danny was just trying to reassure Golubushka subtly - no one else even noticed it was directed at him - I take it Golubushka's projecting all over the place again)

Jamie: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"It will be absolutely fine. Toffee, go check to see if he's feeling ill or whatever's happened," Jamie said firmly. "Then come back and pour, you'll be lovely," and he swept back into the kitchen.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

He nodded and went to knock on the bathroom door.

"Golubushka? May I come in?"

Re: Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt blinked in surprise from where he calming and taking deep breaths and opened the door immediately, Toffee sounded very unsure to him, and Matt asked, what's up? Did something happen?

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"We're worried about you. Are you feeling ill or did someone upset you? Everyone's letting me pour because I need to practise, how to be graceful when I serve tea. It's not a status thing." It all came out in a rush as he moved forward, hugging Golubushka.

Re: Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt felt suddenly deeply protective, all anger and bad rising tide gone and dry, and he hugged Toffee back warm and close and cradled him, of course not your fault, did absolutely nothing wrong, nothing to do with you, and he kissed poor puppy's cheek, am fine, just some dumb passive-aggressive drama, you don't have to get involved. I'm fine now. Let's go back and you practice, I'm not graceful either, he reassured.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"Was nice of Danny to remind me that it's safe to mess up with ordinary tea." He murmured, feeling vaguely guilty about agreeing when Jamie had called Golubushka odd. And when they got back to the kitchen Danny was explaining how Ward and Joy Meachum's status symbols had trained in performing tea ceremony for their Japanese business partners.

Re: Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt smiled and decided the best revenge would be to be his most charming and good self instead, and came back, murmuring apologies, he'd just felt sick, and listening avidly to the story or at least appearing to, and thanking Toffee genuinely for the tea, and in the kitchen Jamie was asking for what had happened and fetching a ginger ale for with the meal for the guest.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"You're welcome." He smiled at Golubushka, still not sure what had made him so upset. "I should go and prepare the parathas now."

(OOC: Is Golubushka taking Danny being social as some sort of dig at him now?)

Golubushka: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt turned back and nodded, listening to the Danny talk about differences between the different tea ceremonies and all the things, and pretended to be calmly interested and hummed in agreement to some of the more neutral things, and then there was a delicious smell as the parathas started to cook and he smiled widely. (OOC No, but he thinks the best way to respond to Danny throwing him off deliberately is to refuse to be thrown off, and to instead be almost aggressively friendly and come off polite.)

Treacle: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

DA Barba was very polite as he asked Matt if he minded DA Barba sitting beside him - so Jamie and Toffee would find it easier to get out and Golubushka would't feel trapped either, and he agreed with a deliberately bright smile.

Then Toffee and Jamie brought the parathas and chutney through, dishing them out one paratha each, and setting the chutney down in four small bowls.

Golubushka: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt breathed in deeply and smiled as Toffee finally sat down once the parathas, chutney, and two other dishes full of new different stew and casseroles were on the table, and nibbled at first thing on his plate experimentally, murmuring to Toffee this is lovely, and then when he realized others were staring turned over, what?

Danny: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"I think this is an informal situation, right Erik?" He checked with their host as he added chutney to his paratha.

Re: Danny: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt stayed quiet and still for a moment, a caught rabbit, and waited for the response with his heart in his throat, and then the master said of course, it's just a dinner with friends of the family, and Matt relaxed a fraction before taking some of the chutney very quietly and adding it to the food, nibbling at it again much more daintily than he normally did.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

He still watched to make sure that Master Erik and Danny had both started on their meals before he began his own paratha, but that was all. And Danny's Matt praised his cooking in a soft voice.

Re: Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Matt agreed with a hum, and told Toffee and Jamie how the parathas had a wonderful texture and all the flavors of the chutney blended together perfectly.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

"Oh, thank you." Toffee answered, feeling his cheeks heat as Jamie explained that they'd got the chutney from his favourite farmer's market.

Re: Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Then you have excellent taste, Matt said cheerfully, keeping smooth and happy and doing what Foggy-teasing called world's-most-charming-pet, and then he waited as people passed around their plates for stew as Jamie measured it out, trying to seem utterly not greedy or stick out, he knew the others were confused about them.

Toffee: Visiting and Helping

[(Anonymous)]

Toffee quietly pointed out the flatbreads available if they wanted to eat the stew with those instead, and Matt thanked him with a brilliant smile.
