Discovery of a Werewolf Part 1
((A random prequel that I wrote specifically thinking about the Okami AU version of werewolf!Erich, but more or less canon for every werewolf!Erich version I’ve written.)) Gregor knocks on the door to Rerugen’s office, then pauses to listen for Rerugen to call him in. Seconds pass in silence and Gregor sighs. Knocks again. Waits— Nothing. …

beneath the cherry trees Part 5
There are villagers gathered around the base of the stairs, Erich discovers as soon as he rounds the last bend. He immediately freezes, searching for an escape, for a way around the gathering that wouldn’t draw attention, but— “Oh! Ammy, are these two yours?” one of the villagers asks as she looks up and spots …

beneath the cherry trees Part 4
He’s a wolf. Erich stares down at his paws and then up at the blue, moonless sky overhead, and tries to process exactly what just happened. This should be impossible. His change — their change — is tied to the moon itself, and without the moon visible in the sky, he shouldn’t be a wolf. …

beneath the cherry trees Part 3
Erich wakes with a groan, body aching and mind sluggish. His mouth tastes like cotton and there’s a headache pounding across his temples in time with his heartbeat; he feels scraped raw and wrung out, like whatever he tangled with the night before won and then kept at it, and… frankly, from what little he …

beneath the cherry trees Part 2
The village is quiet, peaceful, like something out of an idyllic story. There’s a waterfall nearby, filling the air with the steady noise of rushing water, and an owl is calling from one of the trees, but otherwise there’s nothing stirring. Erich wanders down the stone paths with Alexis at his side, ears perked as …

beneath the cherry trees Part 1
The moon rises late in the afternoon, pulling Erich away from his paperwork with a rush of silver-bright power. It settles in his bones and rushes through his blood, and between one breath and the next his body changes, flowing into quicksilver mist that swirls downward, condenses— He takes a breath. Tastes the familiar scents …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 9
Erich crept through the underbrush, ears perked and attention sweeping the forest around him. He’d already cleared out a handful of the Hollow’s minions and followed their trail back to this dense, remote space in the woods. Already he could sense the Hollow’s reiatsu, scattered and dim but present in a way it wasn’t anywhere …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 8
“Are you sure we shouldn’t go out right now?” Ichigo asked as he and Uryuu followed Rerugen back into his home at last. His muscles burned from all running and wrestling, but he’d fought in worst shape before. And he had his pack with him, plus Rerugen. “We don’t know how long it will take …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 7
Tatsuki narrowed her eyes and watched Rerugen interact with her boys, searching for any hint of deception or ill will. She wanted to like him, wanted to trust him, but she’d yet to meet a Quincy outside their own pack that was worth the time of day. And this would be worse. At least the …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 6
Ichigo chewed on his lip and tried to gather his nerve to allow the change to take him all over again. He didn’t want to try, didn’t want to suffer through the disorientation all over again, but… but maybe this time it wouldn’t be like that. Rerugen’s change hadn’t seemed to affect him terribly, and …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 5
Uryuu didn’t know what to expect when he followed Rerugen and Ren out to the little green area just behind their home. It was shared by several other buildings, and was clearly some sort of community area; there were several wash-tubs set upside-down to drain, and a couple clotheslines that had clothing pinned to them. …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 4
Erich paced restlessly around the edge of the room, trying desperately to reconcile the suspicion that Ishida was one of his descendants and how woefully uninformed both boys were about the transformation. It didn’t make sense, not after all the effort Alexis went through to document everything, from their history to the practicalities of their …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 3
Ren led the teens to their home, sliding open the door and stepping through with a gesture for the others to follow. “Tadaima, Mami, Rerugen-san!” they called out, tongue nearly tripping over Erich’s name. It had been more than a year since Erich had been Rerugen within the walls of their shared home, but until …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 2
By the time they made it to the village square, where Orihime had set up her shields to defend everyone and was now healing those few who had become wounded, the wolf was already there. One of the villagers was kneeling on the ground, her arms wrapped tight around the wolf and face buried in …

Misfits AU: Werewolf Erich Part 1
Ichigo grunted and stumbled forward under the weight of several little Hollows, blade sweeping out to split the masks of those in front of him. He gave himself a shake, sending the little gremlin-shaped things flying every which way, and purified some of those as well. They were honestly pretty inconsequential, so weak even a …
