THE SUCCUBAI AU CMO

i've been talking about this on plurk for like two weeks u guys know what this cmo is for. nsfw just by the nature of the thing, threads don't HAVE to go in a smutty direction on this cmo, but they might so idk watch out for that

CLIFFNOTES:

General backstory is the same as in OnK, main point of divergence is that she didn't have the twins and, you know, The Succubus Of It All. Still an idol, broke up with her ex tho a few years later than in canon. Ended up leaving B-Komachi just after the Dome concert at about 21 y/o and is now a solo idol/talent just kind of floating aimlessly through life.
Cute succubus!! Fangies, pointy ears, the works. She still has her hoshigan i just categorically refuse to add them to every icon. She feeds off of 'love' and 'emotions', so being an idol in of itself technically sustains her but it's the equivalent of living off like, nutrient bars and meal replacement smoothies. She has a sort of lowkey empathy sense running at all times where she can taste a person's feelings. Still doesn't always know what to make of them though.
Didn't get the character development of being Aqua and Ruby's mom so she's still kind of clueless and clumsy and occasionally accidentally cruel to people in her innocent, thoughtless way.
Has a different but still slightly Weird r/s to her sexuality as canon Ai does - doesn't have as much of the internalized shame but is more aware of the hypocrisy & double standards of the expectations of purity & perceived romantic/sexual availability to her fans, and more bitter about it
did i mention the fangies

What's the alternative? Go back and tidy your room for you? [ She sticks out her tongue in disapproval. ] No thanks...!

[ Her arms around his neck loosen then finally let go as her heels properly meet the floor with a sharp tap. ]

Since you're ditching me, I'll just go get breakfast on my own, then. You meanie.

[ She sticks her tongue out at him again......... ]

Edited 2025-04-24 09:27 (UTC)

[ ...

...Hey wait a second— ]

Ah—

[ Obviously there was no way she was going to go along with the so-called alternative, but he finds himself... surprised when she actually lets go of him, lightly touching down on the floor and sticking her tongue out at him. ]

...Hmph. Do what you want.

[ ...He's not bothered. He's not! ]

[ For just a second, Ai gives him one of those Looks that seems horribly like she's seeing right through him. Tasting someone's feelings might not be as accurate as seeing right through their lies but with all she's been helping herself to Oberon's ever since she was summoned, she's got a pretty good read of him.

But then, finally, she gives a little huff of annoyance and sticks her nose up in the air. ]

Aren't you the one doing whatever you want? Bo-ring.

[ And off she goes... the siren call of breakfast was enough to tempt her away, it seems. ]

[ ...Huh. This is exactly what he wanted, isn't it? It's a literal weight off his shoulders. He's free to do as he pleases without her hanging off him the whole time, return to the ease of leaving all his social interactions to the persona of the jovial Faerie King without her incessent whining.

Everything's exactly the way he likes it again. Maybe he'll go and bother Master, maybe he'll go and embarrass Artoria. He certainly won't be cleaning his room, that much is certain. It's not like he's just going to wander aimlessly until he inevitably ends up at the cafeteria some time later— ]

...Ugh.

[ God damn it. He can at least erase his presence and keep to himself, but how did he just... end up here? He can see her, too... look at her, all smiles thanks to the sweet confection in front of her. Too fancy for his liking, but...

That damn smile... ]

[ For all the time she spends bothering Oberon, it's not like Ai's entirely without other friends in Chaldea, so it's maybe not a surprise to see her laughing and chattering with a few of the other girls while they pick at their sweets... in fact, honestly, she's kind of annoyingly popular, all things considered. But it's probably expected for a succubus to draw people to her in all sorts of ways.

...

Of course, people includes some of the other male Servants in Chaldea, too. One of whom is casually sidling up to take a seat at her side and Ai, of course, turns the full force of her beaming smile on him, too. In fact, she looks more than happy to be chattering away with him. ]

[ It makes sense, really. Her infectious charm isn't a part of her succubus allure, though it certainly adds to it. She has the kind of personality that draws people in... and whether that's because it helps in finding suitable prey or just a natural, individual trait... well, it hardly matters.

It's predictable enough that she would get hit on by others at some point. Some of the male Servants are hardly subtle about their desires, be it a bombastic celt or a troublesome teddybear followed closely behind by a Greek Goddess. Their antics are annoying, of course, but easier to manage when you know what to expect.

As such, even if one of them approached her, his annoyance is at least manageable. He knows Ai, knows her too well, even. For a succubus, she's pickier than you'd expect. Any attempt at wooing her is destined for failure... so with that in mind, the more womanizing Servants are—ironically—the safest in his mind. He doesn't have to worry about them... hell, they typically end up facing their just deserts entirely on their own anyway.

...The problems arise, however, with the exact opposite kind of guy. ]

"Hey, enjoying yourself?"

[ The dark-skinned, white-haired, red-cloaked Archer who is such a common presence here in the cafeteria. Particularly in the kitchen, where he exists as one of the leading presences. Undoubtedly, that man—so reminiscent of a certain swordsmith—played a considerable part in the creation of the confections that Ai is enjoying right now... a collaborated effort between the Queen of Brittania and one of the nine-tailed fox's tails, most likely.

Oberon can tell with just a glance. There's no concerning intent behind his approach. He greets Ai seeking only to gain her insight on the sweets, a claim that they aren't his specialty—despite their clear high quality—and would thus benefit from a detailed opinion. A perfectly simple, nonthreatening interaction...

...and yet he finds himself infuriated. Inexplicably, his mind registers this Servant as more of a threat than any womanizer. The only thing worse than this would've been that incubus showing up, though fortunately there appears to be no rush whatsoever for a meetup between similar beings.

Objectively, there should be no danger here... he really shouldn't care who she talks to, who she chatters so cheerfully with... he shouldn't care. He doesn't care. He's fine...

~~No he isn't.~~ ]

[ Of course it's fine! And so is the way Ai turns to him at once, eyes brightening and her smile all the more infectious than it usually is. ]

Well, how could I not be? You guys've put together such a good spread! I can't believe you're not a sweets guys when everything tastes so good!

[ Of course, Ai's not necessarily all that informed when it comes to cooking, but she's at least particularly sensitive to how things taste - whether that's a side effect or advantage of her particular sensitivities as a succubus isn't entirely clear but it means she's able to get surprisingly granular in her feedback. This could use a little more lemon, a tiny dash of salt could really amp up the flavour of that... considering she's banned from the kitchen herself, she sounds pretty knowledgeable.

And if she happens to excitedly catch the Archer's sleeve to emphasize a particular point as she speaks, well, that's fine too isn't it? ]

[ The red Archer nods his head, clearly taking her input into account... but there's an amused smile on his face. It makes sense, how could one not? It's a normal reaction, really. There's a saying that joy is infectious... and while Oberon is the last person who can attest to that saying, the evidence is being made very clear... either just as a byproduct of Ai's smile, or perhaps simply a chef taking pride in their work being praised. ]

"Hmph, I'm glad to hear it. My specialties lay elsewhere, but knowing my skills are up to par with your standards is a good sign."

[ He seems to be fond of this process of learning what a specific other enjoys most, and as a result, has easily been brought down to such a relaxed state... it'd be so easy for her charms to take ahold of him now, wouldn't it? It'd hardly be an unappetizing meal, either. Oberon has a good idea of what kind of man she's talking to, and if she enjoys those complex and conflicting emotions, then...

She catches his sleeve, her eyes sparkling so brightly, and something unpleasant flares within him and begins to leak out. ]

[ It comes over so suddenly that it almost makes her twitch in surprise - a sour taste of frustrated jealousy, bitter longing and a slurry of other feelings spill over her tongue all out of nowhere. They're horrible to taste and even stranger than that, they're hungry, too. Unappetizing as they are, they're the kind of feelings born from a sort of yearning that makes Ai hungry too. And more than that... they're familiar.

Her eyes flit briefly across the cafeteria and for one impossible second, it almost looks like they settle on the spot that Oberon's taken up. But just as quickly, they pass again and her gaze returns to the Archer at her side. She's smiling again, but this time she looks a little... sly. ]

Oh gosh, they do? So you cook all kinds of things? [ The fingers at his sleeve turn into her hand eagerly enveloping her wrist. ] Am I gonna get to taste test any of that, too?

[ ...damn it, that's unlike him, letting his emotions leak like that. Especially with someone like Ai, who made quite a show of gorging herself on his emotions not too long ago.

The Archer seems to notice a change in the atmosphere, but a strong intuition isn't quite enough to pick up on what. He raises an eyebrow momentarily before responding. ]

"Yeah, of course. We may be Servants, but nutritious and tasty meals are an essential part of life. I'd hardly mind having another particular mouth to keep in-mind."

[ It's left unsaid that the Archer already deals with plenty of needy mouths, all typically on very similar faces. If nothing else, his self-control is impressive, seeing as how he's able to resist that sly smile...

In comparison, Oberon finds it harder and harder to contain himself as he watches, his brow twitching involuntarily... and remaining all too clear for the succubus to taste. ]

Awesome! [ she's uh. sparkling, kind of. ] I'll definitely drop by, then! I really wanna see what you can do!

[ Drop by where is the question, of course. She definitely just means the kitchen and not his room, right? Any innuendo is purely accidental. Never mind the catlike smile on her face or the way she's still clinging to his arm.

... He's doing a good job of containing himself, way better than she expected. She can taste just how badly he's seething and it's kind of cute. He's not just going to stand there and watch her get stolen right in front of him, is he? ]

[ ...God damn it. Of course he can't. He'd rather die. It'd be so easy to just come up with a lie and whisk her away... in fact, that's the only thing he can do, but he knows better than to try that with his brighter, more jovial persona. She'd just kick up a massive fuss...

...Ugh, whatever. He might end up looking like a toxic possessive boyfriend, but he'll just have to bear with it. ]

Oi.

[ She already knows he's here, but still. He appears suddenly, gripping her tightly by her wrist. He's trying to mask his frustration, his expression as bored as always, but she can probably still taste it anyways. ]

What do you think you're doing?

Edited 2025-05-23 23:50 (UTC)

[ Ahah. He actually held out a little longer than she was expecting. Coming to whisk her away himself is a bit more direct than she thought he'd go for, though - she'd expected to be cornered on her way out, at best.

She has to admit, she likes this a whole lot better. She feels Archer shift a little uncomfortably next to her and Ai makes a point of lingering for just a beat before she peels her hand away from him and favors Oberon with a sugary sweet smile. ]

I'm getting breakfast, duh. Were you so busy that you forgot? [ Her smile ticks up a notch and her eyes glitter. ] Or did you get hungry enough to come get some yourself?

[ Ugh. This genuinely is the worst, isn't it? Archers are so annoyingly perceptive, too. His eye twitches in the face of that smile, and his glare briefly turns up at the Archer before he scoffs. ]

...Of course not, I hate this crap. Now come on, Master needs you.

[ And before she can protest, he suddenly scoops her up... unceremoniously over his shoulder, and immediately strides away, ignoring the many stares he's receiving as a result. ]

[ And up she goes...! It's honestly embarrassingly easy to get her up and over his shoulder - partially because she's so tiny and light but mostly because she's absolutely not resisting in the slightest. In fact, her tail is lashing side to side in delight and to make matters worse she lets out a peal of sunny laughter as he starts making his way out of the room with her in tow. ]

Oh gosh, is it a huge emergency? I guess it must be...!

[ She gives Archer a cheery wave as she goes just because she knows it'll irritate Oberon all the more and then just. happily settles in for the ride. ]

You must be in a good mood today if you're running Master's errands, though!

[ He huffs, a clear sign of annoyance... though he imagines that's exactly the kind of reaction she's looking for. Still, he continues his stride, carrying her out of the cafeteria while her tail occasionally whaps him in the face. ~~You'd think he'd be more appreciative of her butt so close to his face, yet...~~

Once he finds an empty hallway, however, he's quick to set her back down... and promptly slam his hand against the wall right next to her head, glowering over her. ]

...So what the hell was all that, huh?

[ Oh, the jealousy coming off of him is palpable. ]

[ Blithely; ] What was was all what?

[ Oh. That's how she's playing this. It's clear as day that she can taste the bitter, rusty edge of his frustrated jealousy - hell, even if she wasn't a succubus, it's not like he's being subtle right now - but even with the mischief dancing in her eyes, she just beams up at him with her most infuriatingly clueless smile. ]

If you wanted breakfast that bad, I would've saved you some! [ breakfast. sure. ] Or maybe...

[ And that's when her smile takes a turn for devilish. ]

Were you maybe worried about me getting a taste of something else?

[ ...He could see this coming a mile away, and yet it still drives him mad. Despite his claim that Master needed them, he can absolutely under no circumstances allow her to see any of this. ]

...Hmph, as if. Seems I'm just not enough to satisfy your palate, then?

[ ...Oh, hm. That came out more... bitter than he intended it to be. ]

[ For a long, long moment, Ai just stares up at him with that horrible knowing look she gives him sometimes. It's hard to tell what she's thinking, even when they're looking each other right in the eyes, but after a few seconds her expression... softens. She's still smiling but something about it is gentle. ]

I kind of thought the one who was satisfied was you.

[ She reaches up and gives a hanging lock of his hair a gentle, affectionate tug. The kind of warm, playful teasing that real lovers might play at. ]

I've been waiting for you to come see me again all this time but you just kept to yourself, so I thought maybe you'd had your fill. I mean, I wasn't exactly subtle, was I? Dummy.

...

[ ...Ugh, that damn look. He lets her reach up and tug on his hair, still frowning, but... his expression undeniably softens. ]

Hmph, so what, that was your payback, then?

[ God, she's annoying. He should hate this, he should've just taken his chance to leave well enough alone... and yet here he is. It'd probably be better if he was satisfied, but...

The way she reads him... how could he ever be satisfied? How could he not need her more... ]

...How cheeky of you.

[ He says, with a small grin. ]

I wouldn't say it was payback exactly... [ Her smile sharpens just a tick. ] But it worked, didn't it?

[ She curls that lock of his hair around her finger before giving it another little tug and letting it slip free. Instead, her hand drifts up to his face and, stroking some of his hair back, she cradles his cheek in her palm. It's not quite the bold teasing she'd tempted him with last time - there's really nothing you can call this but affectionate. ]

It's totally your own fault, though. If you're scared of something getting stolen, shouldn't you swoop in and take it first?

[ hint, hint. ]

[ …there’s really only one way this ends, isn’t there? Whether that’s because of Ai herself or her influence on him is a question for later. Right now, his free hand comes up to rest on hers… ]

Ahh… maybe I will.

[ He’s walking right into her trap, being lured by the nose by her expert exploitation of his possessiveness…

…ah, what the hell, it’ll help him work out his frustration too. Thus, yet again, he’s scooping her up and tossing her over his shoulder just like before.

It doesn’t even need to be said where he’s taking her. ]

[ Up she goes again... just like last time, she's not protesting in the least. Another delighted laugh rings out as her tail swishes side to side. ]

Ahaha! I can walk, you know? Or did you think I was gonna run away?

[ Maybe he just needs the satisfaction of knowing he caught her properly this time. Ai certainly isn't going to begrudge him that. ]

Besides, weren't you coming to get me for an emergency? Poor Master's gonna have noooooo idea where we went. [ tease, tease. ] Oh well!

Of course, you can never be too careful.

[ Yes, totally not the inherent satisfaction in properly catching her and taking her away, of course not. It's not like he's carrying her back to his room to have his way with her or anything, that'd be crazy.

He's carrying her to her room. Duh. ]

Oh, she'll be fine, I'm sure...

[ He'd already been lying about Master needing them, but him saying that is more concerning than anything else. Still, regardless of whatever anybody might need them for, they'll have to wait. A point he accentuates by turning his head and giving her thigh a quick bite while he walks. ]

[ Her reaction is immediately and satisfyingly visceral - a squeak of surprise in tandem with her lashing tail perking straight up, just for a moment. Liar that she might be, even without fairy eyes to see right through her nonsense, that tail is surprisingly honest, isn't it? ... or so you'd think. ]

Wait, wait! Doing that before we're even back at my room is cheating!

[ She gives her legs a fruitless little kick - she's not even pretending she really wants to get free, but her spiritless protesting is part of the game at this point. ]

Save that for the real thing!
