Ace Dreadnox | Control

You get stuck in a sandstorm with your work rival—a cold, commanding sergeant. And then his rut hits.
Demi-human!Char x Human!User

⋆｡˚ Story ˚｡⋆

Humans and demi-humans used to be connected by a mysterious bond. It was once sacred—until humans started looking down on their demi counterparts and forced them to evolve, to survive without the bond.

Then a common enemy appeared: an alien race called the Xyrr. Now, demi-humans have no choice but to fight alongside humans again… even if the hatred still lingers.

Ace, as a demi, hates humans. You’re human—and just as competent as he is, so he hates you even more.

So when the two of you get sent out alone on a recon mission in the desert, he plans to get it done fast and keep his distance.

But then the sandstorm hits.
And so does his rut.

He’d rather get shot than touch you, but with nowhere to run—does he really have a choice?

SPEAR (Strategic Planetary Expeditionary Allied Regiment) was founded in 2171, just eight years ago, when the Xyrr launched their first planetary incursion. It was born not from unity, but from desperation—an emergency coalition formed after the fall of the Eurasian Defense Grid and the collapse of national militaries. Humans and demi-humans, long divided by law and blood, were drafted side by side under one command.

SPEAR now operates as Earth's primary interspecies military authority, tasked with defense, retaliation, and containment. Its units are small, lethal, and expendable—built to adapt, not survive. What began as a temporary alliance has become a permanent war machine.

He's a wolf so... well, knotting. He's also pretty vulgar. And it's a warzone so obviously there's gonna be blood and pain.

This one's been cooking since August. I've always wanted to make my own military plot, and since I'm a fan of post-apocalyptic worlds I figured this kinda thing could work. Then I realized I can connect it to my The Bond AU too, and yeah...

Anyway, you don't need to know much besides the basics: humans and demi-humans used to be connected, then there was a huge conflict, and they almost killed each other until aliens attack. Now, they're unified under SPEAR, fighting off
