Precursor To A Love Song (A Frankenwolf Fic)

heeeey!!! I know it's been a while since I wrote a fic, I've been both busy and having a severe case of writer's block, but I've finally got something new!!! It's a Hyperion Heights AU one shot (which I could use as a springboard for a proper chapter fic if I ever feel up to it) and I think it's pretty cute. Props to @stardreamer28 for putting up with me talking about it for a couple weeks and procrastinating on the end lol. Read on and enjoy!

Liza Whale was finally taking a night off.

It was well-deserved, she knew that, but she had been slow in taking it. Her little boutique on the corner in the heart of Hyperion Heights kept her busy, and she didn’t have anyone to help with it. Business had gotten a little lighter after the Christmas rush, though, so Liza had decided to just close early that Thursday and go out for a couple of hours.

She ended up in a bar a couple of blocks away. It was classy place—no blaring neon or loud jukeboxes, no peanut shells on the floor, no casual clothes. It wasn’t the kind of place she thought she might come back to often (a little neon and a jukebox never hurt anybody, after all) but it was nice for an evening of self-pampering.

Liza sat down at a table for one, laying her black wool jacket across the back of her chair and smoothing out a small crease in the skirt of her deep red dress. It was one of her own designs; the things she sold in her boutique were produced by proper brands, but she created most of her own wardrobe in her spare time. Her favorite thing in the closet she didn’t even remember making, even though it matched a lot of her other clothes: a long red cloak with a warm hood and floral embroidery. She had ripped it last time she wore it, and was planning on fixing it when she got home later that night.

As she waited for someone to come by and take her order, she glanced around the bar. Her eyes fixed on a man halfway across the room, seated at an elegant piano. He was blond, with striking blue eyes that sparkled in the light of the wrought-iron chandelier. When he caught Liza’s gaze, the corner of his mouth lifted in a half-smile.

Liza couldn’t help blushing. He was cute, and if she was reading her signals right, he thought she was cute, too. It had been a while since she had had any romance in her life—actually, she couldn’t remember the last time, it had been that long—and she liked the idea of drawing the eye of a handsome piano player.

After about half an hour of them sneaking looks at each other while he played and she sipped at a drink, the piano player got up for a break. Liza’s heart sunk when he walked right past her table, then skipped a couple of beats when she realized he was just getting a second chair from nearby.

“Julian Wolf,” he said, setting his chair down and holding out his hand for Liza to shake. He had smudges of what looked like paint on the side of his thumb. “I play piano here a couple nights a week.”

“You’re brilliant,” Liza said, grinning. She liked that it took him a couple of seconds to release her hand. “What do you do the rest of the week?”

“Freelance artist.”

It was paint! Liza smiled a bit wider. “That’s cool,” she said. “I do some drawing, too. Nothing big, just for the clothes I make.”

Julian smiled too. “Well, now I know we’re both artists, but I don’t think you’ve told me your name yet.”

“Elizabeth Whale. If you call me Lizzy I’ll kick your shins—I like Liza, though.”

“Well, Liza, I have to go finish my set, but I’ll be off in about an hour. Do you want to go for a walk with me then?”

She nodded. “I’d love to.”

Julian returned to his piano, where he started playing again, soft and sweet. The music sounded…familiar, Liza thought, but she couldn’t bring to mind a specific instance of hearing it before. Maybe I heard it in a past life, she thought, chuckling to herself. The music made her giddy, like any moment something wonderful might happen.

Well, maybe it was the music. Or maybe it was the charming young man playing it. Either way, Liza was really looking forward to that walk.

You had your palm read many years ago. On a whim. Just for fun.

The palm-reader had warned you about this. But you didn’t listen.

It was written in the lines of your flesh.

So when the inevitable happened, when you lost them, you knew who to go to.

You held hands with the reader, warm with the candlelight and cold in your chest. And you both called out into the ether, called out a name you had lost.

There was nothing but silence.

Gimme some kind of sign, you sobbed.

You had ignored so many signs until now.

You just needed one more.

Episode 156: Why is my baby crying?

At the end of Friday’s episode, we saw reclusive matriarch Liz start to fall down the stairs, then saw her sprawled on the floor below. Today begins with a recreation of that scene, but instead of merely starting to fall, actress Joan Bennett tumbles far enough forward that she must really have gone down. It’s an impressive stunt.

Settling into Sri Lankan holiday mode

It’s safe to say that the train journey into Ella lived up to the hype. Sri Lankan trains tootle along in no hurry at all, but when the scenery is as beautiful as it is, that’s no problem at all. It’s also helps, given locals use the train tracks as their primary walking routes and many of the great hikes we did out of Ella used the same means.

Ella itself feels a bit like a ski resort. Lots of restaurants and nightlife along a main high street - but instead of skiing, the number one activity is hiking. We had some fun evenings, ate some great local & awful western food and made the most of our accommodations terrace complete with hammock. But it is the hiking that we’ll remember Ella for. Not deterred by our Adam’s Peak sunrise ascent, we opted for a sunset walk of Ella’s answer, Little Adam’s Peak. It’s hard to compare the two, as one was lots of hard work for very little reward and the other was very little work in exchange for some lovely evening views. But we’re glad we did both! A trek along the railway tracks to 9 arch bridge offers picture postcard panoramas of Sri Lankan tea territory, which unsurprisingly does attract the masses, who eagerly await the perfect snap of a train crossing the bridge.. or chance upon it just as they’re leaving!

Our favourite hike was the more challenging Ella Rock. Starting early and walking several kilometres along the train track (with the guidance of a local dog), we eventually reached the turning into the tea plantations, at the foot of the climb. We’d been warned several times about the dubious signposting and misleading locals who are trying to make a few rupees by getting you lost and charging a fair whack to get you ‘un-lost’. In fact even on the railway tracks, a man who sold us some coconuts half-heartedly tried to point us in the opposite direction and then laughed and shrugged when we pointed up towards the summit of Ella Rock in the distance. We noticed several turned / covered signs and completely distrusted a woman who was insisting we went a certain way. She got really frustrated when we turned off against her advice but we were following a plan of always take the path that goes up! Shortly after, we realised she was likely genuine, as we were pretty lost ourselves. We kept heading up, until we needed to head down, at which point we met a lovely American couple who were following their own gps map and got us back on route. We spent the rest of the climb and descent with them and really enjoyed the challenge and views that Ella Rock had to offer.

Luck had it that we were able to regroup with Joel and Alecia in the south of Sri Lanka, so the seemingly never-ending bus journey to Mirissa had an unexpected treat at the end of it. Excited to have the chance to stay together, Tom quickly booked a hotel and texted Joel and Alecia to tell them he’d found a deal for a place with a swimming pool and games room that was too good to be true! It turns out he was right, as despite being in Sri Lanka, we later found out that the rates were quoted in Indian rupees.. sorry guys!

Mirissa’s most popular activity is blue whale watching and off the back of a recommendation from Mel, we set off on a tour before sunrise and were lucky enough to see several fin whales (including a mother and calf) and after several hours on the boat, a blue whale. The size of them is simply incredible and the long day at sea was ultimately worthwhile as we spent the final couple of hours watching it take 4 or 5 breathes before diving down for a consistent 19 minute wait each time. It was a bittersweet experience however, as one of Alecia’s dreams is to swim with blue whales. They took a different tour that day and sadly due to fast moving currents, it didn’t turn out to be possible to swim with the whale they (well, Alecia) spotted. Apparently Joel was doing a sterling job of being lookout in the opposite direction. Regrouping at the hotel later that night, we were collectively exhausted from the experience and Alecia required copious amounts of Aloe Vera + booze to fight through the sunburn! Other than the whales, some nice restaurants and a fun hotel which charges in Indian rupees - there isn’t a lot to Mirissa, and after 2 nights we headed on down the coast. We said a second sad fairwell as we disembarked the train at Unawatuna, just south of Galle. With Joel & Alecia heading on to Colombo and the next day, Singapore, we knew that this time it was going to be 7 or 8 months until we next meet up.

With a name like Unawatuna, we had high hopes for this place and it was probably our favourite place in Sri Lanka, although with the giant eyesore of a resort currently being constructed by a governors family, much to the dismay of many of the locals we spoke to, this might not remain the case for long. Unawatuna had a lovely beach, from which we had our first try paddle boarding. Within minutes Harriet was wowing some onlooking Russians by doing handstands on her board - it was never in doubt that this would be a sport for her. It also had some excellent bars, with really good food, music and the local spirit, Arrack, which is made from fermented sap of coconut flowers and works well very well with ginger beer! The undoubtable highlight of our time here was an encounter with a giant turtle, swimming in a natural lagoon just down the coast. Visiting thanks to a tip off from the paddle boarding guys, we took our snorkels and explored the whole lagoon, trying to find turtles. On the verge of giving up, a huge turtle brushed right past Harriet. We spent the next 15 minutes or so swimming with the turtle, which wasn’t much shorter than us in length, and significantly wider! We can’t think of a more exhilarating encounter that we’ve had with a wild animal. Watching it swim, eat and effortlessly glide through the water was nothing short of magical.

Our final visit of note in Sri Lanka was Galle, which we really liked. The old town comprised of beautiful architecture, lots of vintage cars and a charming cafe culture. It had the feel of a slightly more touristy Kochi - but never too busy and with a host of great eating and drinking options. After an obligatory visit to what has to be the worlds most unique and stunning cricket ground, we walked the city walls and popped in and out of cafes, galleries and museums for the rest of the day, to the point we could hardly move. The pistachio gelato was up there with the best and we also had our favourite coffee of the whole trip here. We’d definitely recommend anybody visiting the south of Sri Lanka spends a day in the old town of Galle. We eventually waddled home and packed up, ready to say goodbye to our Sri Lankan holiday lifestyle and return to India. Whilst we knew our noses wouldn’t thank us and that we should expect a little less comfort, we were undeniably excited to be heading back to explore the north of the country which had consistently wowed us.

Food

With our unsuccessful dabbles into Western food in the back of our minds (and mouths), we sought out the best that Sri Lankan local food had to offer.

One particular local dish that we enjoyed were hoppers or, if you wanted that bit extra, egg hoppers. Not too dissimilar to your Indian dosas, hoppers were a type of appam pancake made with fermented rice batter and coconut milk. Once fried it goes into an impressive shaped bowl and if you went for an egg hoppers you would have one baked in the middle of it. The dish was served with coconut sambol, a traditional Sri Lanka condiment (or coconut relish) prepared with freshly grated coconut, red onion, dried chillies (or chilli powder), lime juice and salt. It also came with seeni sambol, also known as a spicy caramelised onion relish, which was a wonderful combination of sweetness, spiciness and sourness. Left to rip and dip as you please it was as ... from master chief would describe “heaven, absolute heavennnnn”

Quite often when ordering a Sri Lankan curry you would get the choice of having a combination of delicious curries in one dish, a bit like an Indian thali. We ordered exactly that in a small local restaurant in Unawatuna called Sea Waves. The meal was so delicious and packed with flavour we straight away booked on to the cookery course they offered the following day.

The next morning Susanthi, the cook, collected us in a tuk tuk to take us to the market in nearby Galle, where we bought all of the ingredients for our cooking class. Our first stop being a Sri Lankan spice stall where we decided to buy some Sri Lankan garam masala and cinnamon as Christmas presents for our family. Little did we know that the guy was going to go breaking bad on us and wrap them up to suspiciously look like class A drugs. We later decided to add them to the Christmas package and risk all of our presents being held in customs. You will have to stay tuned to see if they made it back unscathed ;)

Once stocked up with fresh fish, vegetables and spices we headed back to Susanthi’s kitchen, which was ajasant to where we ate the night before. Set outside the kitchen was rustic but perfectly equipped with everything you would need. She first set us to work to make coconut milk and cream (amazingly just from one coconut!). This involved shaving out the inside of a coconut with some strange device, blending and sieving it a number of times until you had your two types of coconut liquid required. I think this might have to be a job for sainos when we get home. The whole experience was fantastic and we cooked some amazing curries including; ladyfinger (okra) curry, sweet potato curry, the “most delicious we have ever tasted” daal curry, poached fish curry, wambatu salad (using deep fried aubergine) and home made popadom. We have started taking bookings for a Sri Lankan dinner at the Turnlea’s, please email [email protected] to reserve a space!

Travel Jukebox - ‘Made The Harbor’ by Mountain Man

Tory is something of a musical oracle, with a taste even broader than ours combined, so we were really excited to listen to her choice. Naturally it was from an artist we had never heard of, Mountain Man. With a recommendation to listen to it on a sunny morning, before exploring, we found the perfect relaxing moment in Ella, sitting out in the sun, in our hammocks.

Within the first few tracks, we were hooked by the mystical vocals and dreamy strumming of guitar. Bliss... well nearly. Less that 5 minutes in, the local gardener appeared out of nowhere and decided to mow the patch of lawn just in front of our terrace. He was so insistent that the area right next to us must be prioritised on this otherwise lazy and peaceful morning, that we actually gave up on the album and trying to relax altogether. Picking up the album on a bus journey a couple of days later, we realised that Tory’s occasion was actually spot on, as the intricacies were lost to engines, beeping and food hawkers. 3rd time lucky, relaxing with a morning coffee, we managed to listen through and thoroughly enjoy it.

Simplicity is the theme which runs through the album, much of which is acoustic / a Capella. As their name suggests, you can imagine the group recording the album in some rustic shack on a mountain in the remote mid-west states. ‘Animal Tracks’ and ‘River Song’ are both excellent whilst, ‘How I’m I Doin’ is a more playful demonstration of their skilled harmonies, which feature throughout. They even have their own rendition of everybodies favourite rhyme, Waters of Babylon - which always takes me back to primary school / that excellent Mad Men episode ending! Ultimately, this is a real slow down album, valuable when we’ve often been moving at such a fast pace.

TLDR; Trains, trekking and turtles turn our heads to Sri Lanka’s best bits.
