I do love how I bought xmas gifts last week, got home, then shoved them in my closet to not look at or think about at all. Like "done with YOU for now. Bye."
#speculation nation#i should check on them to make double check i got everything and that nothing broke in the bike ride home lmfao#i literally just remembered it tho#went thru the heartbreak of paying large sum of money and was like 'ok time to not think about u for half a week'#i had. help. with the money actually.#it's a little hilarious lmfao. but like it's not like i broke my own bank or w/e#im just allergic to spending large sums of money all at once. whether or not it's money i actually earned </3#ft me making orders for work & my eyes kinda bugging out seeing the like hundreds or even over a thousand dollar orders#on food items like every week#me starting out like 'what do you MEAN it's $40 for a box of milk?!?!??! HELLO????"#i feel like their prices r horribly marked up. but then again this is not my money and so i do not truly care lmfao#...anyways yea i got gifts but they are hiding. from both the world and from me. i do not want to see them.#im a lil excited for gift wrapping tho. i love wrapping my presents in increasingly stupid & creative ways#if i have any fun ideas this year i may just post the final forms. maybe.#this isnt in a way of like. making cool wrapping jobs that look like other things#im utter dogshit at wrapping and i dont care to learn how to make them pretty. so i just do whatever the fuck i want#my family has learned to expect it. if they see an eccentricly wrapped present under the tree they KNOW it's from me#practically my brand at this point. and i would hate to disappoint ❤#i have one more day of work and then i go on break and i am so READY for it. filled with thoughts of having free time. ouughh

Throwback Thursday Track #2: MISIA - Everything release: October 2000 genre: Jpop, J-R&B
Remember when I started this serial way back in the middle of last summer and then immediately dropped the ball on doing it ever again because Thursdays are actually really horrible? No? Yeah, it's fine. But since I'm trying to be better about these things ... jumping back into the wayback machine to the year 2000!
I have no idea what happened to the master that this janky rip off of a VHS copy is the best the official account could do, but here we are. I am ... mostly sure this was not my first time hearing MISIA, but seeing as I've been listening to her for over twenty years oh my god, don't ask me to tell you when I started. I can't even remember how, because let me tell you, kids, the internet was a very different place back then and if you wanted to listen to Japanese music, you had to Go Through Hoops, to put it mildly. And while her music is and was exactly up my alley, she didn't really do the music show circuit even when she first debuted, so all I can think is some sort of happy accident? Whatever the case, this was certainly one of my earliest exposures to MISIA's angelic voice. At seven minutes, "Everything" is about twice as long as the usual pop radio hit song. Moreover, between the opening strains in full orchestra and the wistful tone to MISIA's voice throughout, "Everything" feels much more like something you would find on a drama OST than in a karaoke box or on pop radio. Which didn't stop it from debuting at the top of the Oricon chart nor keep the single from racking up enough sales to make it the all-time third top selling single by a female Japanese artist and MISIA's signature song, despite not actually showing off her full vocal range (5 octaves!) The video has a very Christmas-in-Japan feel going for it, between the snow and the love song lyrics. It's not the most dynamic video, the story parts all shot for slow motion and then MISIA herself delivering her performance with minimal movement, but that, too, fits the mood of the song. It's also an older style of making a music video - the solo diva delivering a song while mostly just standing in place - that MISIA's always favored for herself. "Everything" was the second single off her third studio album, Marvelous, and has been included in each of her best of collections since, so your favorite streaming service should have at least one version of it. Last month (February 21st, to be exact) marked MISIA's 25th anniversary of her debut, so if you liked this, there's a lot more out there. Want to sponsor a song selection? You sweet angel! For the low, low price of one (1) KoFi, I'll write up the song of your choice. ANY song of your choice. Yes, even that one that's been played to death. Yes, your obscure faves too. Sponsor a current CB for the next open Music Monday slot or sponsor a throwback for a Thursday feature! DW | Twitter | Mastodon | Ko-fi | Patreon | Discord | Twitch

(both from yesterday)
What do you dislike about the house you live in? It's in the suburbs. Have you thought more about your funeral, or your wedding? My hypothetical wedding. Dinosaurs or unicorns? DINO BOIZ. What do you think of Maroon 5? I like some of their old stuff, and one or two of their newer songs, like "Payphone." What about Coldplay? I enjoy them. Fall Out Boy? Love 'em. Katy Perry? She's okay, I guess. There are a few songs I enjoy. Have you ever snuck into an R-rated movie when you weren’t old enough to see it without parents? No. What is your favorite Disney show? I don't have the slightest clue what's on Disney nowadays. What do you miss most about elementary school? Digging tunnels in the sandbox during recess with my friends. :'( When was the last time you saw the person you had your first kiss with? The start of February 2017. Hard to believe it's been four whole years... Is there anything hanging from the doorknob in your room? Ha, yes. Mom got me a little sign that says, "If I can't wear my flipflops, I'm not going," lmfao. All I wear are flipflops. What's your opinion on wearing pajamas in public? Do you yourself do that? I LITERALLY couldn't care less. I wear pjs in public sometimes; it really depends on where I'm going. What was the most severe punishment your parents gave you when you were growing up? Taking away technology was the worst. Do you usually fill up at the same gas station? Mom goes to a few different ones, depending on proximity and price. Have you ever owned any pet birds? What kinds/colours? I have not. I used to want a cockatiel for a long time, though. Do you pay much attention to your YouTube recommendations? If so, what was the last video that caught your attention? Kinda, I guess. I'm not sure what was the last recommended video I clicked. What has been the happiest time of your life so far? It's complicated. Most of my best memories are from high school with Jason, yet at the same time I was HORRIBLY depressed. I think my most pure happiness when I was really progressing with recovery. Moving on from him, losing tons of weight, feeling motivated... Have you ever had a crush on a celebrity? Who? My two biggest celebrity crushes ever have been/is Link Neal and Mark Fischbach.

No. Would you care if your SO went to a strip club? Hm. So long as they're not laying hands on any of the strippers and they ASKED me first, I don't think I'd care? I'm pretty sure I'd also only be okay with that if we were a long-term couple where very strong trust has been built. How helpful are your parents to you? Would they help you to pay for your first apartment? College? Where does the line end? They are so, so very helpful and I'm pretty sure would go to the ends of the earth to help me in any way they could. I know they WOULD help pay for the things you mentioned, but it's not something I want them to do. I want to be able to financially provide for myself, one day...

This last one, actually. Can you hear anything right now? Yeah. I'm watching Gab play the Resident Evil 3 remake on hardcore mode. What's the coolest, most unusual pet you can think of? I've always thought sugar gliders were quite interesting as pets. I wanted one for a looong time, but I am not informed on how well they do in captivity and if it should even be legal for me to truly want one anymore. Have you ever seen a UFO or other weird object in the sky? By definition, it was a UFO. Sometimes I do even wonder if it was an alien spacecraft, given JUST how strange that shit was.

Advil. Does your mom have a celebrity look-alike? No, but there's a celebrity with her exact name. Do you think it’s pretty when 100s of balloons are let loose into the sky? NO NO NO NO NO that shit is SO upsetting. Where do you think they end up??? It's littering. Animals get choked and tangled by them all the time. What do you draw more than anything else?

You can get really hurt. What was your favorite fairy tale when you were a kid? Maybe Little Red Riding Hood? Are your parents still together? If not, do you know why?

What's the most amazing animal you've ever seen in captivity? I've been very close to an elephant at a zoo once. They're magnificent. Having been to Sea World as a kid (I would NEVER go now), I also saw the killer whale show. As much of a spectacle as it was, it was animal abuse regardless. Do you like white chocolate? It's okay in small doses. Have you ever eaten snow? Yeah. Do you talk to your pets? Um, duh. Have you ever adopted a stray? (Cat or dog?) Cats, yes. Do you read about any mythology?

No. Have you ever gotten angry at an employee and complained to the manager? No. Have you ever sent your food back at a restaurant? Yes, because they got my meal wrong. I was REALLY shy to do it, but I made sure to do it politely and apologetically. Do you sleep in a bra? What mad lad sleeps in a bra???????????? Has your ex ever gone out with someone close to you? No. Can you suggest someone funny on YouTube? I'll go for someone what isn't my obvious vote, ha ha. There are truly so many, but Garrett Watts is high on the list. Elena Bateman, too. Can you do a handstand? No. Has anyone close to you ever been suicidal? Yes. Have you ever broken someone's heart and didn't care? Tyler sure acted like I did, and to be entirely frank, I didn't care very much, but only because it was a HUGE overreaction and I knew he'd be fine quick. What color is your hairbrush? It's just a white comb. Who was your most recent call from? My psychiatrist. Have you ever watched someone die? Only animals... It's the absolute worst. Are you currently "seeing" someone? No. Are you friends with someone who's autistic? I might be, but I know my niece is on the spectrum. Do you like humans? To be entirely transparent... I think I wish humans were never a thing. We've done so, so much harm to the planet, some things irrevocable. Earth would be a much healthier, far more peaceful place if we'd never existed. Do you like pandas? I love pandas. P.S., fuck outta here if you're one of the people who don't support conservation efforts for them. That shit blows my mind. What do you think of Evanescence? They're great. Amy's voice is absolutely incredible. I don't even think that's an opinion, but global fact, ha ha. What do you think of Avenged Sevenfold? I like some of their stuff. I haven't heard a whole lot though, honestly. What do you think of Halestorm? ^ Do you think you are attractive? God no. I don't see me as an attractive person at all. Do you like dinosaurs?

Maybe Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy? Or my friend Alon. I'm certain there's more, because women are just so fuckin beautiful asdkfajlwejkrjqwe Red, white, yellow, or pink roses? I actually like the original, rich red. Do you think someone would ever want to marry you? Well, two people have, but one absolutely doesn't anymore and the other knows that it's not healthy or emotionally safe for either of us to imagine that at this time. I don't know if anyone ever will again. Do you like Thanksgiving? No. Like I enjoy the focus on thankfulness, but the history isn't right and I don't enjoy the food. Do you ever wear colored eye liner? No. Have you ever used a darkroom? No. Have you ever been "popular"? No. Has someone ever tried to convert you? Yes.

Though it’s usually only in his own favor, he really is an amazing businessman. He knows psychology when it comes to prices and money, and knows how to swindle people of it via media, advertisement, and bargains. I’m sure everyone knows that one devious thing that companies do. They’ll say that some price was recently marked down from a higher price to make a deal, but it was actually always that price the whole time? He does that all the time. He also gives out frequent bargains that seem like they’re cheaper, but they’re not really cheaper in the long run ( i.e. i work at panera -- if you get an entire meal with a drink you can get a cookie for .99 cents. an actual cookie is a little less than 3 dollars. but it’s actually cheaper to get the cookie and no drink ) .
His morality is one of the biggest strengths he has. Though it is pretty grey when it comes to money, life is something really important to him. Growing up extremely poor he learned that life is very, very precious. And it only strengthened when he joined the navy to pay for business schooling. Seeing so many people die and having to use violence when being taught that it shouldn’t be necessarily really made him see that people are important and everyone has a reason. Unless of course, it comes to his money. If someone steals even a dollar from them, they’re getting horribly injured or killed. No one comes between him and his cash / fear of being poor again.
Speaking of cash, he is really good with it. In school, he didn’t really excel at anything aside from physical education, art, and math. He adored math because it forced him to focus and it alleviated his mind of stress. Not to mention it aided him when it came to managing cash and excelling in business school. If you need help with your finances, he is definitely someone to ask. He’ll teach you to love your money like it’s your child, so you can save it for something important, not superficial.
$ 𝟑 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒.
Money is his biggest strength, as well as his biggest weakness. Like I mentioned before, if anything comes between he and his cash, they won’t survive much longer. For example, in the episode where SandP get him a new bed, and Squid wanted to take all the credit, he almost choked him to death. Because all of his saved money was stuffed inside the mattress. Before that, he tore his room apart in a panicked frenzy. Also in the episode where the urchin invades the Krusty Krab, after seeing the urchin eat all his money in the cash register, he has a small panic attack and beats the fuck out of the thing, even though it hardly takes damage.
He can be pretty judgmental when it comes to certain ethnicities or types of people, I’ve noticed. Usually formed off of personal opinion or from what he’s seen / experienced. Those opinions can quickly change however, when proven otherwise. He is a very gullible man, especially when money is involved. He used to hate Sandy for fucking with Spongebob’s head simply because she was “a mammal,” until she started getting him money. So don’t be surprised if he can be a bit harsh at first. His mind can be easily changed, though.
He is eager to find love again, especially since he believes that he can’t find it truly anymore. After his first love either died or left ( i’m starting to lean more toward she died but we’ll see if canon ever says something ) ,  he’s really hoping that there will be someone out there for him. I’m not sure if everyone will consider this a weakness or not, but he does tend to be extremely flirtatious to women, especially those who are younger than him. It always ends up flaking though -- many people can’t stand how absolutely obsessed he is with money. The arguments about cash are numerous; most likely why he stopped seeing Miss Puff.
$ 𝟑 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐒.  ( ASIDE FROM THE FORMULA ITSELF )
Plankton was the one who made the formula, actually! It was an accident that was caused by him slamming the door and pouring all the ingredients from a shelf into the tenderized beef. When Eugene tasted the incident and saw how beautiful it was, he claimed it was his own to get back at Plankton for wanting to have the recipe all for himself at first. After pulling out all the ingredients from the beef as a kid, he divided the missing amount from the containers and made the formula that way. To dig deeper into the secret, he would have wholeheartedly shared it with Plankton after all the craziness from the burger calmed down. But then he began bullying him. This will never be told to anyone, no matter who it is. The only one who would know is Plankton, if their friendship is ever rekindled.
He used to smoke in high school, which no one really ever knew. The only one who did know was again, Plankton. He stopped doing it when he joined the navy, as he knew he needed the extra strength and needed to break the addiction. He already had one, he didn’t need another. To this day, he still sometimes craves one, and tends to use other stress relievers ( talking to money about it is something he does a lot )  to try and break the crippling desire from time-to-time.
It’s really hard thinking of a third one, so I guess just his past in general? He really hates seeming like a poor person, and it embarrasses him to even be considered poor in anyone’s eyes. He envies people richer than him, and genuinely looks up to people who are popular businessmen / women. He wants to be as rich as them before he dies. So if you wanna hear his backstory, there better be a good fucking reason to. Because otherwise he’d be too uncomfortable sharing how poor he used to be. It makes him fucking cringe just thinking about it.
$ 𝟑 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒
BEING POOR .  His biggest fear is somehow losing sight of all the money he has, someone stealing it all, and being tossed back into the dirt. He never wants to live that life again. Too much has happened since he gained his money: he’s helped his entire family for helping him through his life; his daughter depends on it. He won’t be able to live without money. It scares him so much that he coud literally kill people if someone even touches his finances.
Losing his daughter is a big one. He’s a pretty lonely man enough as it is. He can’t even understand his daughter half the time which is a huge struggle in his life, but it’s one he can deal with so long as he has her. He might not always know how to show it, but he does genuinely love her, and wants to give her a life growing up that he never had. Which admittedly, makes her somewhat spoiled. If anything happened to her he would be devastated and absolutely depressed. Would probably feel like he let his lover down, too.
Losing Spongebob. Though this one isn’t as big as the other two by any means, it’s still pretty high on the list. Unless firing him will give him more money in the long run, he wants to keep Spongebob on his deployment chart. His back hurts like the dickens because of his old age so he can’t cook as well as he used to when he was younger, it’s going to be extremely difficult to find someone who will work for near ten - twelve hour days with only a few benefits and getting paid minimum wage, someone who cooks so outstandingly well, and will wait on customers with happiness and joy. He would be in a really tight situation and he knows his store would suffer if he lost him.
$ 𝟑 𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒
To obtain as much money as heart desires! Which, theoretically is impossible. But as long as he can die rich, he will be happy. He doesn’t care what else happens. Furthermore, he wants to make sure that any money leftover from the business when he does pass on either goes to the person who takes it over -- which will most-likely be Spongebob, or his daughter for her education / career purposes.
Make Pearl happy. He knows he can’t satisfy her all the time or necessarily be there for her all the time because he’s usually off at work, or because he doesn’t understand her, but he just wants make sure she has what she wants. He could never get what he wanted as a child which didn’t really upset him much until he was told he couldn’t get a job until after his schooling was over. But he spoils her to make sure she doesn’t feel like she can’t have what she wants, and so she doesn’t end up feeling poor like he did.
To become friends with Plankton again  To make sure that at any and all times, the Krusty Krab has better profits, audiences, atmosphere, and business than the Chum Bucket. Even if that little, green devil has one customer it means terrible news. That’s another person lost for him, along with their families, and everything else.

Sturmvoegel - Interlude One
Rated: R/NC-17
Word count: 8073
Warning: domestic violence, sexual content, childbirth
A/n: I can't believe how long this took, but it is finally here. Sturmvoegel is about to take off. I hope you're ready to meet Anne and Dotty once again and another, very special character. Enjoy this little journey back in time.
___
Summer 1699
The sun was shining through the window and drawing shadows onto the chopping board, but the light hands barely noticed the warm rays that danced over them.
Anne was busy chopping carrots and her thirteen going on fourteen year old sister did her best to help her, but Dorothy was preoccupied.
"You are going to end up cutting yourself," the older one lectured the younger one, a soft smile on her lips.
Dotty only rolled her eyes. "Stop it Anne," she complained.
Anne put the knife down and turned around to face her sister. "Please," the older one begged. "Be careful."
"Why are we even doing this," the young teenage girl complained. "We have servants for such kind of work."
"Oh Dotty," her sister laughed, before she continued chopping. "There is nothing wrong with helping a little around the house."
Anne could not see how Dotty stuck her tongue out, she was concentrating on the vegetables in front of her. 
"I don't even like carrots," the young teenage girl complained again, no longer helping her older sister. She shoved a few carrots away and one fell onto the ground.
"Dorothy," Anne complained while swiping away some sweat with the back of her hand. "I would love to be somewhere else too, but we promised mammy that we would help her today."
The younger girl crossed her arms. "But why do I have to help with the washing later when you can go to the market on your own." Her pouting made her look very young and adorable and Anne put the knife down to pull her into her arms.
"I am older, that's why I can go into town on my own," she whispered into her sisters hair. "But you only have to wait a few more weeks and then I'll take you with me."
"It's just not fair," the younger one sobbed. "Everything has changed since granddad died."
Anne could hear the pain through seeping through her sisters voice and she had to held back her tears, the wounds were still so fresh that she could not swallow her tears. 
"Poppa would not want us to cry, remember," the older one tried to calm her sister. "Life is far too short to cry over the past."
They both held each other close and allowed themselves to grief a little, when someone stormed into the room.
"Why is it that you two always cause trouble," a man shouted, his face red from anger. "All you do is cost me money."
The two girls jumped away from each other and tried to hide their tear stained eyes. "We are sorry for causing you any displeasure," Anne finally managed to let out, while stroking over her dress, flattening it from the invisible crinkles. 
"No, you're not," he only shouted again. "You will be the death of me."
"What is it, Sir," Dotty dared to asked, not looking up.
"You two," he spit out, pointing towards the girls. "Your mother just ordered me," he emphasized the last words." She ordered me to buy you some new dresses."
Anne had to hide her annoyance, this man was just awful and she hated him with every ounce of her heart. "Why did mother ask you to," she then asked rather submissively. 
"To get you married off, I hope." He stepped closer and pushed Anne's chin up painfully. "You, Missy," he said in a vile tone while his gaze wandered over her young, female body. "You shall be out of here as soon as possible."
"Nooo," the younger one shouted in fear. "Please," she begged, running into her sister's arms again. "Please let her stay a little longer."
"Dorothee," the man was watching her closely. "How dare you raise your voice like that!" 
The young girl stepped forward and looked him straight in the eyes. "You are not our father, so stop ruining our life!"
He was taken aback by the young girls brave confession, even if it was only for a second. "How dare you," he whispered angrily, his hand raised to punish her.
"Please," Anne begged, pushing little Dotty behind her. "Please don't punish her."
Their step father was smiling now. "Oh Anne," he whispered in his German accent, his hand caressing her cheek rather roughly. "Always so gracious and bountiful." He noticed how she looked away and it angered him even more.
"Since you stepped up," he then let out, before raising his hand and hitting her across the face, watching her go onto her knees and holding the injured spot. "You shall pay the price."
"How," Dotty started, but her sister stopped her and pulled her down.
"Thank you for the lesson," Anne whispered, before getting up and bowing down to him. "I shall be more careful in the future."
He stepped closer once again, smiling with pride when he saw her wince at his presence. The man pushed her hands away and inspected her face.
"This should heal in a week or two," he laughed. "Enough time for the ship to leave the harbour." Anne's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh you poor, stupid girl," her stepfather chuckled. "Did you really believe I didn't know about your little affair with this sailor." 
He looked her up and down again. "Let's just hope he didn't leave anything behind, right." With that he turned around and left the two girls.
Anne was staring at the closed door, pure shock running through her veins. She had been so careful, yet it seemed as if her biggest secret has never been a secret at all.
"What did he mean," her sister asked curiously. 
"Oh Dotty," Anne whispered, before sinking down again, this time she was not able to hold back her tears. "I made a horrible mistake."
The young teen pulled her knees against her chest and hugged them, rocking herself back and forth while she let her tears roam free.
"Anne," her younger sister sat down next to her and tried to comfort her, but normally it was the other way around and everything she tried seemed useless. "Anne," the girl said again.
The addressed turned a little until her tear stained eyes faced the younger one. "Dotty," she whispered in-between sobs, "promise me to never fall in love."
Dorothy laughed so loud that she held her hand over her mouth to stifle the sound a little "Me," she choked back. "Why should I ever fall in love."
Her older sister lifted herself up and pulled her into her arms. "Oh my poor, young lass," Anne finally addressed her. "Love is noting you expect, it just happens and once you are in love you can get hurt."
"Hurt as in hit by papa," she used a mocking tone on the last word, clearly not having any daughterly feelings for that cruel man.
"No," Anne replied, her voice dark and low. She took a deep breath before she continued. "This pain", the teen gestured towards her now colourful eye, "it's nothing in comparison."
"Love makes your heart jump out of your ribcage only for you to watch it being trampled down." 
The younger one looked up into her sisters eyes. "Well then I will never fall in love."
"Good," Anne nodded. "Now let's finish this so that I can fall out of love too."
They got up and the older one acted as if nothing had happened, but her steps seemed heavier, a little like she was carrying a heavy burden.
Once they finished their task the older one left her sister to go to their room and try to hide the colourful mark that tainted her lilac skin. She knew that Edward would go after her stepfather if he knew what happened earlier.
The girl managed to cover some of it by using the expensive powder her dear grandfather had brought them from Paris, but she knew that it was easy to look right through her. 
She got up and searched the room until she found a shawl that was big enough to cover her head and her shoulders. Anne made sure to wear it tight, it might not hide her injury up close but it would stand up from a distance.
Dotty was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. "Do you really want to go?"
The older one could not look her in the eyes. "I have to," the girl whispered, sounding very tired.
"But why," her sister wept. "If he finds out he'll punish you even more," the girl held onto her sister. "Or worse, just marry you off."
"Dotty," Anne whispered. "I have to go and see him one last time."
"Promise," the young one begged. 
"I promise," her sister reassured her and she walked away, not willing to turn around and let her sister see that she lied.
The town of Bristol was busy at this time of the day and people were greeting her left and right. Anne knew that it was thanks to her grandfather that people knew her, but she would've preferred to stay invisible today.
Anne knew where to find Edward, but she was scared of his reaction so she lingered around for a while before she actually made her way to the little cabin, their hideout. 
It was situated far on the outside of the promenade, an old fishers shack that no one had used in decades. The girl wondered how Edward acquired the keys, but she had long given up to getting straight answers from him.
A part of her wanted to keep the promise she gave her sister and as she walked towards the dark wooden door the waves that crashed onto the shore remembered her that she was risking her life for something as simple as feeling loved.
She stopped, her hands touching the door, the wood worn out and hardened by the seasons. Anne had to take a deep breath while she tried to blink away her tears.
This had been going on for too long, she knew that they never had a future, but Anne loved the way his kisses made her feel.
"Are you going to come in," a male voice questioned and the girl blushed a little.
"I am sorry," she apologized, while opening the door and sliding inside. "I was lost in my thoughts."
"You always are, my dove," the young man whispered, he took the shawl off of her and his hands caressed her cheeks. 
"Oh Edward," the girl whispered and she closed her eyes when he bowed down to kiss her. Anne felt as if lightning was going right through her and she only stepped back when her lips started to tingle.
"What took you so long," he questioned and the girl knew that she had to come up with a good lie.
"I was helping my mother," Anne told him, hoping that staying close to the truth would be enough to convince him."
"My dove," he whispered again, his hands brushing softly over her hair. "Why are you shielding your eyes like this." He stepped closer again and pushed her chin up, his eyes scanning hers.
"They are far too beautiful," he started, but once he noticed the marks left by her stepfather he stopped.
"Edward," the girl weeped. "It is nothing, please." She grabbed his hands but he shook her off.
"Who," was all he hissed through his teeth. When he saw her wincing due to his harsh tone he looked apologetic. The young man turned her a little to inspect the wound properly.
"My love," he tried again and she could hear that he was trying to suppress his anger. "Who did that to you."
Anne just sobbed and that was answer enough for Edward, he pulled her into his chest and comforted her as good as he could.
"My stepfather knows about you," the girl finally confessed.
"But how," the boy wondered, watching how the girl cleaned herself up, her eyes still tear-stained. 
"He just does." 
"Well," Edward announced. "There is only one solution for our problem." He picked up his sword and it made Anne lose all the colour from her face.
"No," the girl begged. "Edward if you go after them they will kill you."
"They won't," the boy tried to reassure her, but she was not willing to listen. "I need to revenge you."
"Am I not good enough," Anne questioned. 
"What do you mean, my dove," he turned around his eyes slightly lifted up. "You are more than good enough and you know that."
"So why is it that you decide what to do instead of listen to me." Anne took a deep breath, she knew that the next few seconds would determine how the rest of her life would go.
"Why is it that you want to take revenge in my name, instead of comforting me." 
The girl watched him until she was certain that she had his whole attention. "Why is it that you want to take care of him, instead of taking care of me."
Edward watched the young teenager in surprise, the way she stood there impressed him.
"Malady is right," he finally let out, leaving the sword leaned against the wall. "So, my dove," he stepped closer and watched her. "What is it, that would comfort you."
The girl took a deep breath and collected all her courage only to step forward. Her dress was carefully fastened around her body, but with a few simple movements she managed to make it fall off onto the ground.
Edward stood there frozen, never had his eyes seen so much beauty before and a part of him just wanted to take her there, but he knew that she was inexperienced and trusted him with her life.
"My dove," he whispered, clearly surprised, but she shut him up, by stepping closer and kissing him.
"I trust you," the girl whispered against his lips and that was all he needed to hear. 
Edward guided her towards the mattress, he regretted that they were in such a despicable place and not a palace, but Anne's beauty was enough to make this shack seem like a beautiful castle.
Once she lied down he took her in, memorizing every single part of her, before he kneed down next to her and cherish her in every way possible. 
Anne traded her innocence for her stepfathers life, and in a way for the life of her lover and while this trade was not what she had intended at first she never regretted one second of the bargain.
There are many ways to feel loved, but she experienced the most raw one she could ever imagine. And when she laid in his arms afterwards, her body shaking from the new experience she wondered if the sweet taste of lust would be enough to banish her to hell.
She closed her eyes, her head resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat that was just as rapid as the waves crashing against their hideout. 
The girl could feel her wound from earlier burn, but the overall feeling of pure exhaustion was too overwhelming for her to care. 
Edward kissed the top of her head and pulled her even closer, her skin so soft against his own. His hands held her close and he allowed himself to indulge in the feeling of pure bliss. 
"I will always love you," he promised, his voice merely a whisper and while the girl did not want to take his word on it she still smiled. 
Little did both of them know that they had just challenged fate and that their little encounter would haunt their life's for eternity. 
The two lovers did not care, they were not aware of the world that surrounded them. For a moment they only saw each other and fate allowed them to escape their harsh reality just for a bit. 
***
The cold wind from the north brought the first snow to Bristol and covered the whole town in a dirty grey - Anne's feet felt heavy as she pushed through the wet substance and she tightened her grip around her shawl to keep the small hint of warmth that her body could still offer.
A basked hung from her arm, the content barely visible due to the snow covering it, but a green piece of vegetable peaked out of the dirty mud. 
She stopped for a second and closed her eyes in exhaustion when she finally reached their home - the servants were running around busy to acquire any kind of food this harsh winter so her stepfather made her responsible for the daily market trip.
Anne knew that something was not right with her, she had grown heavy and her feet were always swollen and hurt, but she was too scared to go to a physician. Deep down she feared that god was punishing her for her sins, especially for lying with a man who wasn't her husband.
The young girl scrunched her nose up by the though of being married, Anne knew that her stepfather would never let her marry out of love, so being married seemed more like a punishment than a blessing. 
Fortunately the man had left a couple of weeks ago and he wouldn't be back for a while, visiting relatives and discussing trade deals on the continent - she smiled at the thought of not seeing him for a while and pushed forward, ready to throw off her wet clothes and have some hot beverage in front of the fire.
The stairs were slippery and she had to hold onto the bannister, nearly falling down. Anne took another small step, when the basked on her arm fell a little and gravitation pulled her down.
She was lucky when she landed on her bum, but Anne barely noticed the sharp sting or the basket that toppled over and spew its content into the wet mess - she found herself holding her stomach in confusion. 
At first she felt as if she was unwell, but then something moved and while it should have scared her to death Anne felt content. She held her stomach, carefully caressing it, when it finally dawned her.
The girl knew why she felt so sick all these month ago and why walking around seemed so much harder this winter. She had heard whispers about this before, but deep down she had always thought people were just joking.
Anne was certain now that her sins came back to haunt her, only that she could not feel like the little miracle inside of her was a punishment.
The girl closed her eyes and she could feel her heartbeat, wondering if the little thing inside her had one too. 
When Edward had left this last summer he might've taken her heart, but he had left her with something too - she was carrying his child right under her heart. 
She could feel the innocent life inside of her move again and Anne wondered what she was supposed to do now. The girls had heard whispers of witches who would touch a woman's belly to make the baby go away, but the though alone made her heart bleed out.
Anne slowly managed to get up again and she bowed down to pick up the vegetables when she made up her mind.
Her child would live.
***
Spring was finally here, but Anne could not enjoy it. She did not care for the snowdrops that started blooming and died soon after, nor for the lesser celandine that started appearing everywhere. 
In previous years Dotty and her had looked forward to the meadows covered in bluebells, but she was too scared of the future to think about the beauty of nature now.
The young woman who wasn't yet 16 sat on a chair and held her swollen belly. Her hand caressed the round bulge and she closed her eyes and sighed. Her lips were dry and no matter how much she drank, she felt as if she was parched. 
It was early morning and the birds were chirping their happy songs, but she was unable to enjoy it. Pain had been a constant these past couple of days and she felt weak and unable to eat.
Thankfully her parents were about to leave and hadn't paid much attention to the two girls. She knew that they'd be gone for some month and that thought helped her push through the pain.
The mother-to-be leaned against the edge of the chair and starred down on her feet, realising that she couldn't remember the last time she'd seen them standing up.
Her younger sister came into the room, carrying a tray with a wooden cup and some thickly cut bread and putting it down on the table in front of Anne.
"They are finally gone," the younger one said, standing up straight and brushing over her dress. "Are you ok," the girl questioned, pushing her sisters face up to see it in the light. "You look as if you've seen at least ten ghosts."
Anne closed her eyes and took a deep breath, choosing her words carefully. "I am not doing so well, Dotty," she finally admitted and she regretted it as soon as she opened her eyes and realised that her sister was looking even more worried now. 
"Oh Anne," the girl let out, going onto her knees and resting her head in her sister's lap. "Anne what will we do now?"
The older one brushed through the young girls hair, she took a deep breath and tried to say something, when an unknown and sharp pain hit her in the stomach. She sunk down onto her sister and cried silently, biting her lower lip to make sure no sound would come past them.
"ANNE," her younger sister screamed, getting up and trying to lift her sister back onto the chair properly. "Anne, what is wrong."
"Pain," was all the soon-to-be mother managed to mumble through her teeth. "It hurts so much." She looked up to her sister, tear-stained face and in that moment she looked even younger than she was. 
"Anne, please...," her sister pleaded, but realised that it was useless. Dotty took a deep breath before addressing the pregnant girl again. "Anne, we have to get you back on the bed," she then ordered, certain that she had to do something.
Both girls did their best to manage and Dotty managed to lift her up and shove and push her towards the bed. She was too weak to actually carry her. 
The bed was against the wall and the younger girl pushed the duvet away before helping her sister sit down. "Lean against the wall," she ordered, before rushing back to the table and grabbing the mug. "I know you might not feel like it," Dotty said," but I need you to drink the warm goat milk."
Anne rolled her eyes, she felt weak and sick and the thought of warm milk passing through her lips made her gag, but she knew that her sister was right. So she did her best to lean against the wall, taking the mug with both hands.
The scent of stable hit her and deep musk and she did the best to not gag. 
"I know, it smells disgusting," Dotty said, watching her closely, "but you haven't eaten properly in days and you need your strength."
Under the careful eyes of her younger sister she finally guided the mug to her lips and took a sip. The warmth of the milk was welcoming on her chafed lips and she swallowed the liquid, glad that it stayed down.
"Go on," Dotty ordered. "Drink it all, and when I come back you'll finish another!"
"Wait," Anne whispered, getting a hold of her hand. "Please don't leave me." She wanted to say more, but another wave of pain hit her and it took all her strength to not drop the mug and curl up into fetal position, crying and weeping that she wanted to die. 
"Anne, I have to go and get help," the younger girl said sternly, shaking her sisters hand off. "I will be back!" The pregnant woman finally let go of her and she looked at her one last time, before hurrying out of the room.
The mother to be felt alone and she hugged her belly, unable to hide the sobs anymore. She cried heartbroken and scared and some of the milk spilled over the mug and onto her dress, turning the light colour see-through. Anne felt the warmth of the liquid and that shook her out of her state.
She leaned back a little and rested her head against the wall, the eyes closed again. The young woman was trying to collect her thoughts, she knew that her sister was right. Her hand caressed her swollen belly and she could feel the little life inside kicking her.
Realising that the mug was still in her hands and halfway full she lifted herself up again and started drinking, making sure to take small sips so that none of the nurturing milk would go lost. 
Once she finished her drink she only managed to drop the wooden mug to the ground. She felt incredibly weak despite the dietary intake. It was as if she had aged at least 20 years in the last half hour and a part of her yearned to just lie down and never get up again.
She could feel the pain coming now, it was more regularly or at least she thought so. Anne swayed back and forth as if she was already holding her baby in her arms, hoping that would calm them both.
The exhaustion hit her again and she slipped down further until she could rest her head against the mattress. The girl managed to turn to the side and she put her hand around her belly, while the other one went up to her lips.
"This is for you, my little miracle," the young mother to be whispered, before breathing a kiss into the palm of her hand and pressing the hand against her swollen belly. "I love you."
With that she finally allowed herself to rest for a bit. 
It felt as if she had only closed them for a second, but the next time she opened them the sun was already in the South, settling there comfortably. 
She opened her eyes slowly the light slightly blinding her when she made out some figures in front of her. "Dotty," the girl whispered helplessly, when someone put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead.
"I am here, my dear sister," someone bowed down and kissed the top of her head. "My poor, poor sister, I am right by your side."
"She is too weak, we need her to consume some broth." Anne heard an unknown voice from the middle of the room, but she was too exhausted to make out the person. 
Another wave of pain hit her and she scrunched together, her eyes pressed shut, yet tears still managed to make their way over her cheeks. 
"Oh child," the unknown voice cooed. "You poor thing, all alone and in pain." Anne could feel someone sit down on the bedside next to her. "Don't you worry, little dove," the voice reassured her. "It is going to be alright."
She could feel someone caressing her head and the girl closed her eyes. How had the older woman called her? A part of her mind went back to that summer day, when Edward had called her his dove. To the moment of love that led to such pain.
"I don't know if I can do it," the girl finally whispered and when the unknown person embraced her she thankfully accepted the closeness. 
"My poor, silly girl," the woman laughed a little. "This might feel like the end of the world, but we've been made for this."
Anne finally lifted up her head and saw the grey hair gleaming in the sun, before she managed to make out the face. 
She had seen the elder lady a couple of times before and she remembered the stories the girls told each other on the quiet about her. But seeing the woman now, looking motherly and warm, made her feel safe.
"I never believed the rumours," the girl whispered, but it only made the older woman chuckle.
"Rest now, child," she instructed. "Rest and then you'll eat." The woman was about to get up, when another wave of pain hit Anne and she held her close.
"Take deep breaths," she told the girl. "Breathe through the pain."
Anne nodded, but the pain took its toll and she closed her eyes again, too exhausted to follow the world consciously. 
Some more time passed and the next time she opened her eyes she saw Dotty kneeing in front of her, a bowl filled with hot liquid in her hands. 
"I made you some broth," her sister announced, smiling happily. "This should help you gain some strength!"
The elderly woman helped her sit up in bed and moved her to the side, so that her sister could sit next to her. Anne wanted to grab the bowl, but Dotty shook her head.
"You're too weak, dear sister," she told her. "Here, let me help you." With that she filled the spoon with the hot soup and started feeding her. 
Anne felt a little uncomfortable being fed by her younger sister, but she realised that this was the easiest way. The broth was hot, but she could taste the richness through the liquid and after a few swallows she felt the blood rushing back into her cheeks.
"Now look at her," the elderly lady announced. "She's no longer looking like she's seen every ghost in town."
Dotty chuckled and nearly spilled some soup and even Anne managed to smile a little. "Never been a fan of ghosts anyway," she then announced and it made the others laugh.
"You'll be alright, little dove," the lady stated, patting her head a little. "You haven't lost your humour yet, that is always a good sign."
Dotty finished feeding her and she closed her eyes again, when the elderly lady sat down next to her. "Listen, dove," she took her hand and held it. "The next few hours will be painful, but you need to get through them." 
Anne looked up again, the fear in her eyes clearly visible. "How much longer," she asked pleadingly, and the woman brushed her hair off her forehead. 
"I will make you a tea next and once you finish that you will sleep some more," she explained. "When you wake up again it's time to push."
"Push," the girl asked surprised. 
"Yes," the woman laughed. "You have to push that baby of yours out somehow, I mean it got in that way so it might as well get out there too."
Anne blushed and she shielded her eyes, but the woman just laughed warmly. "Listen lass," she said. "I am not hear to ask any questions or to judge. You're a young mother who needs my help, that is all I need to know." 
The girl allowed herself to rest in the embrace, before letting the woman go and lying down again. 
"Rest for a bit," was all she was told, and she closed her eyes as she heard them walk through the door, the frame creaking softly under the pressure.
The came back eventually, carrying another mug and Anne even managed to sit up and drink it all, before the world turned blurry again. 
"Are you sure that she'll be alright," Dotty whispered to the older lady, caressing her sisters head while she watched her breathing heavily. The young woman was asleep again, but her body was working and one could see the pain darting over her face, whenever a new wave it her.
"Yes, girl," the old woman reassured her. "I have been around enough births to know the signs." She smiled warmly. "You know, I was even around for yours," she walked closer and watched Anne curiously. "But no one remembers your sisters birth."
"Grandfather used to joke that the angels left her on the doorsteps," the younger one giggled. "He always told me to stay close to her, since she was our lucky star."
"Lucky star indeed," the old midwife whispered, before turning around and looking for some towels. "Now hush, we need to gather everything to welcome your little niece or nephew into this world."
Dotty jumped off the bed and hurried out of the room, determined to help as good as she could. 
Hours passed and the sedative in the tea did work wonders. Anne slept like a child and it wasn't until right before the birth, that she woke up again.
"Help," she shouted, her face painted dark red in pain. "Help me, please." Her eyes were filled with dread and fear, but once the midwife took her hand she managed to relax a little.
"Girl, I have examined you," the woman began. "You have to go on all fours, or this child won't make it."
Anne tried to move, but she was caught by another contraction and Dotty and the midwife had to bring her in position. 
"Now, please don't be frightened," the older lady advised her. "I have to inspect you." She pushed the girls dress up and moved her legs outwards to see.
"You're a very brave girl," she then announced. "I can see the head already."
Anne wanted to reply something, but another contraction hit her and she had to push again, screaming in pure agony. 
She could hear the comforting words from both women and she was sure that her sister was brushing her hair out of her face, but the pain was too much to bear and she was unable to comprehend what was happening to her.
Then everything went so fast, as if someone had turned the clock to run to a faster speed. She felt this huge urge to push and it was as if the pain was spurring her to go faster.
The young woman pushed faster and faster, nearly unable to catch a breath in-between and it wasn't long until she felt a huge pain, like being ripped apart. She wanted to fall down and die, but then the pain stopped.
Time stood still. Anne broke down and lied on her stomach, her head turned to the wall. It must've been midday again, the sun was beaming through the window and she could see flakes of dust dancing in the air. 
She felt young again and a part of her wanted to let the sunlight draw on her skin, when she heard it. At first it was more of a whimper, but then it turned into a scream.
„Anne," Dotty whispered religiously. „Anne, the baby is here."
Her sister's voice amazed her and she turned around, facing both women. And there it was, a little thing, red skin and lungs filled with air. There was still some blood on the baby, it suited her.
She looked like a little fighter and Anne smiled at that thought. 
„Are you ready to hold your child," the midwife asked and she lifted herself up before nodding.
„Well then, meet your little angel." The midwife wrapped the tiny creature in a towel before laying it on the girls chest. 
The moment the baby rested against her heart was when pure joy hit the young mother. And the little one must've felt it too, since she stopped crying and watched her closely instead.
„Hello, little one," her mother whispered closely. „Hello my little gem." She smiled happily, holding her little miracle close and swearing that she would always protect her baby. 
***
Spring had turned into summer and bluebells were long withered. Instead the vibrant blue of the cornflower filled the fields and Anne loved it. 
The last few month had been had, yet the best ones that she'd ever had, and better news were yet to come. She had heard a rumour recently, that Edward's ship would be back soon. 
The young mother sat in her bedroom, the window wide open and the wind played with her hair. A little baby sat on her lap and tried to grab some strands of hair, giggling happily.
„My angel, my beautiful little star, oh how much do I love you," she sang, and the sound made her baby bubble in delight. She kissed the childs forehead, lulled in by the soft scent.
Anne closed her eyes and leaned back, embracing the small baby and dreaming of a better future. She nearly drifted off, when Dotty entered the room.
„Ann," the girl shouted, swallowing the last syllable and frightening the wee baby. It started crying and her mother tried to comfort the child, not before sending an angry glare into the direction of her younger sister.
„What," the young mother huffed through her teeth. 
„They are back," Dotty let out, fear pervading through her words. „We have to hide the little one." She pointed towards the wee baby and Anne looked sad. 
She had always known that their blissful time would be over, but she had hoped that time would be gentle with her. 
„How will we do this," she finally let out, tears starting to form in her eyes. „How will we hide the small one?"
Dotty walked through the room, deep in her thoughts. Then, finally, she had an idea. „I already greeted them and said I feel sick." The girl sat down next on the bed and continued. „You can feed the little one and then go downstairs and socialise with them."
She paused for a bit and caressed the soft baby locks, the brunette colour beaming in the sun. The little one giggled happily and tried to grab her finger.
„Once they are happy you have to hurry to the harbour and find out when he'll land." Anne looked surprised, but Dotty just shook her head. „Don't say anything," she told her older sister.
„I know that you love him, I've seen you look at the product of your love." Both looked down at the baby. „Go find him and run away, build the life you deserve. One filled with love." Dotty whispered the last few words, tears starting to form.
„Oh Dotty," her sister whispered, embracing her and breathing a kiss on her forehead. „I always had a life filled with love, having you around."
Dotty blinked her tears away, the red in her eyes now clearly visible. „You have to leave. Save our little angel." With that she breathed a kiss on the babies head and got up.
Anne nodded solemnly and started nursing her little bundle of joy, swaying back and forth to comfort her. Time passed and the two sisters had calmed down, while the baby fell asleep. 
Her mother put the baby in the big basket that had been its bed since the first day on earth and put the basked behind the bed, slightly hidden from the door. 
„I will go now, go into your room and wait there," Anne delegated, a determined look on her face. „Wish me luck that I come home with good news."
„What about the baby," her younger sister questioned.
„ Fast asleep," Anne announced. „Just leave the baby hear unless you hear crying." With that the older one pushed the younger one out of the door and closed said door carefully, making sure that no sound disturbed her little angels sleep.
„I'll be quick," Anne promised, holding her sister's hand. „Just wait here and if they get up distract them somehow."
The young mother turned around and left in a hurry, never taking a look back to either her sister or her young child.
She went downstairs and greeted her parents as if nothing has happened, trying to get away from her step father as soon as possible. When she finally managed to get out into the streets she let out a sigh of relief, happy that she had escaped his grasp for now.
Anne didn't know that her staying home could've prevented a catastrophe.
Dorothy was pacing up and down her room, nervously biting her lips and watching the open door closely. Her sister’s child was hidden away, but if the baby made a sound she’d be heard.
The young girl fold her hands, a prayer on her lips that carried through the room and out of the open window. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before turning around and swiftly leaving.
Dotty climbed down the stairs, carefully skipping the parts of the rough wood that would alert the baby. She was barefoot and could feel the rough texture pressed against her skin, but she tried her best to ignore it. 
Tiptoeing down as fast as possible. 
Once she managed to reach the bottom she jumped over the last step and let out a giggle, only to clap her hand over her mouth.
The girl stopped and listened carefully. Did she wake the little one? She stood there for a bit, waiting to hear the cries of fear and loneliness, but she was lucky.
Their little angel was still asleep. Dorothy’s chest was moving up and down fast and she walked through the hallway in a fast pace, determined to make it back up as quickly as possible.
Downstairs seemed empty, but in an unpleasant, eerie way. She felt as if someone was watching her, but when she turned around she was faced with an empty hall. 
She walked through the rooms until she arrived in the kitchen, the stove cold, only illuminated by the sun shining through the window. The heat was creeping through the stone walls, resting within it and warming up the house while filling it with an earthy scent. 
“Mum,” the girl called out, curious whether her mother was around. No one answered. 
There was a jug filled with water on the table and she grabbed a mug and poured the lukewarm liquid into it, taking big gulps and ignoring the slightly stale taste that graced her tongue.
Once she was done she put the mug onto the wooden table with a loud clank, her hands shaking a little. She closed her eyes and held onto the edge of the table. 
The blood was rushing through her body and it was as if she could hear it buzz inside her ears. She bit down on her lip a little, before turning on her feet and hurrying back up.
Dotty knew that it would be best to leave the little one hidden away, but a part of her was yearning to hold the small thing, kiss her soft baby forehead and smell the fresh baby scent that lingered in her hair. 
She didn’t notice the shadow that was watching her carefully, following her up after a few moments.
The girl was humming a lullaby when she approached the room, slightly out of breath due to running up the stairs as fast as she could.
There it was, the little baby, hidden away well and asleep in her basked. She really should’ve known better, but she picked the baby up and started cooing at her. Holding her close to her heart while soaking up the feeling of love. 
The tiny body was pressed against her chest and she could feel the baby’s lungs fill up with oxygen. She bowed down and breathed small kisses onto the top of her head while swaying her around. 
The shadow crept closer and if it wasn’t for Dorothy being totally engulfed by the feeling of happiness she would’ve noticed the danger sooner. 
Now it was too late.
He stepped into the room, heavy boots leaving an imprint on the slightly dusty floor. 
“Doro…” he started, but stopped once he noticed the small bundle in her arms. He watched her and hissed. “How dare you.”
The girl was in shock. She started shaking and was visibly upset, which woke up the baby and the little one started crying bitterly. 
“This will ruin us,” her step-father muttered, brushing through his hair. “What am I supposed to do,” it seemed as if he was talking more to himself than to her.
“Please,” the girl pleaded, but he only rolled his eyes. 
“This is your own fault, girl,” he told her. “If you would’ve told us sooner, we would’ve come up with a solution.“
“Just, please,” the girl started, but he stopped her, stepping forward and taking a look at the child.
“At least it’s normal,” he let out, removing the blanket to take a closer look. “Pack,” he then ordered and Dotty looked confused.
“Pack,” she questioned hesitatingly. 
“Yes, pack,” he replied harsh. “Pack your things and get ready, before I forget myself and end both of you.“
Dotty stumbled backwards in shock. The girl was silently pleading to God to help her, but her prayers went unheard. So she did what she was told, unable to gather the courage to tell him the truth.
He gave her a mere few minutes before he rushed her out of the house. The girl was astonished by how fast everything went. Her little ward still pressed against her chest.
Both walked out of their home to never set foot into it again. Neither would ever see their beloved Anne again. 
All this happened while the older one was running around the harbour. Edward was supposed to arrive any day now and she was impatiently awaiting his return. The young woman hoped he would take her far away and that they would be able to enjoy their little family, but she knew that this dream was vastly unrealistic.
Still, she held onto it and she was young and naive, that’s why she allowed herself to take her time looking, searching for him. 
Nothing. 
He was not here.
Eventually she gave up, when her chest started hurting. She cursed herself for being so reckless and not thinking about her child and she ran back to her home, eagerly rushing to hold the little one in her arms again.
Her step-father and mother were sitting at the table when she arrived, her mother’s eyes red as blood. She must have been crying for some time.
“Mother,” the girl let out and fear hit her. Had they found her little secret?
“Anne,” the woman sobbed, unable to speak more.
“Anne,” her step father continued for her mother. “We are deeply disappointed. ”The girl went down on her knees, ready to beg for forgiveness and feared the worst. 
“You are her older sister,” he continued and for a moment she hoped it was about something else. Then she heard his next words and they hit her like a knife, straight into her chest.
“I found your sister and her baby. They are gone now.“
“Gone,” the girl whispered in shock. “How.“
“None of your concern, ”the man shouted, clearly angry. 
Anne could feel the wood under her knees, digging into her flesh. She could feel the taste of iron in her mouth and it was as if she had turned lighter with his last words. The pain was like a little man, sitting on her chest and choking her.
She felt like she could not breathe, no matter how much oxygen went into her lungs. Her nails scratched over the wood, splinters arising and digging into her flesh.
“My gem, ”she whispered, before letting out a cry of desperation that sounded inhumane. The little man on her chest seemed to laugh and then he pushed harder down, digging into her lungs. 
Finally, she stopped breathing and just fell into a black hole.
***
Several days had passed since Dotty was rushed out of her childhood home and into a carriage. She had no idea where they brought her, all she knew that after some time on the carriage they changed onto a boat.
Luckily they stopped once in a while to let her and the baby eat. Anne had still nursed her, but Dotty was unable to oblige. A mixture of  goat milk and water had to do, but the little one was always crying and her health seemed to be affected.
She was scared that the baby would just wither away and all she could do was watch.
Once they had been brought on a ship Dorothy had given up all hope of escape. Wherever she was going, there was no easy return and she accepted her fate and concentrated on keeping the little gem alive.
Another carriage was theirs after the journey over the sea and days passed again, becoming more and more blurred. Then finally, they stopped. 
“Was wollt ihr, ”an elderly voice said in a questioning tone and Dotty wondered just were they where. The language reminded her of German, her step father had tried to teach them some years ago, when he first joined the family.
 The door to the carriage opened and the first thing Dotty could see was a wrinkly hand holding a lantern. The head of the woman followed shortly after and the girl tried to sink deeper into the cushions when she noticed the harsh look on the older woman’s face.
The little bundle in her arms started crying and once the baby’s voice filled the room the German woman smiled and her whole face softened a little. 
Dotty dared to look up and she noticed that the woman in front of her, she was dressed in a heavy dark lilac dress and white garments, reminding her a little of unmarried princesses in painting. 
“So,” the woman stated. “You seem to be the one causing me trouble.” She looked at the girl judgingly, struggling to keep up the harsh attitude when she saw how young the girl was and just how helpless she seemed.
The woman closed the door and sat down, watching her. “Give her to me,” she gestured, holding out her arms. Dotty was uncertain, but her arms were tired and she was exhausted. She wanted there to be silence above all.
The woman picked the baby out of her arms and started cooing over her, calming her down immediately. 
“Why did you do it,” she finally questioned after quite some time.
“Do what,” Dotty asked. 
“Why would you let them send you away with a baby that isn’t yours.“
The young girl was startled and fear ran through her body. She tried to say something, but stumbled over her words. “I…“.
“Shhh,” the older one tried to calm her, by putting her hand onto her arm. “Your secret is safe with me.” She swayed back and forth and brushed over the head of the baby, smiling fondly, before speaking up again.
“I am the Abbess of Herford,” she coughed slightly, before she continued. “You will be send to work on a farm,” the girl wanted to say something, but the abbess gestured her to wait. “Now the little one was supposed to go with you, but she will waste away, if you keep her.“
Dotty could feel the tears rushing through her eyes and down her face. “I was send here because of her, please don’t take her away.”
The older woman looked up, clearly affected by the tragedy. “I am sorry girl, but you cannot afford a wet nurse and the little one is too young to stay with you.“
Dotty could hear the reproach that hung between the lines. “I don’t want to lose her too,” she finally sobbed. 
“Oh you poor child,” the abbess replied, pulling her in for a hug. “You will not lose her, I promise. She will be with you in time, but for now you have to say your goodbyes.“
The woman handed her back her sister’s child and she cuddled and kissed the little one, wetting her hair and blanked. 
“It is time,” the older one reminded her, and Dotty kissed the little head one last time, before handing the child over. She did not dare to look when the abbess got out of the carriage, instead she hurried her face in her hands and cried heartrendingly 
The baby left her aunt behind and entered the place where she’d cast her first memories in, unaware of her past or future.

Saturday, 6 December 1828
5 1/2
11 3/4
at my desk at 6 1/2, and reading Miller’s gardener’s dictionary Till 8 10/60 articles Luereus, Castanea Land, Gramen ploughing, Sorbus, Luick, Osculus, – Breakfast at 8 10/60 – 
went out at 9 – from then to 4 (came home while the men were at dinner) in the Cunnery plantation – found William Keighley junior just come – had him cutting down the upper Cunnery plantation hedge felling a few firs at the other end of the plantation, and the old black Italian poplar and valuing the 13 sycamores Mosey felled in the Clough Till about 4 1/2 about 66 feet of the sycamores at 1/4 per foot about 10 feet of wood in the poplar at 1/6, but a little hollow at the bottom so called it 14/. George Naylor came to me to me in the morning to ask to buy a few larches – found out they were for Womersley to build a shed of some sort at his stone quarry for 2 delvers soon afterwards came and chose out 6 larches at 1/3 = 716 and 2 ditto at 5/. = 10/. William K– (Keighley) to get me 2 bushes of acorns from Studley near Ripon – my intention to plant them around the young trees in the Coneyry wood – the 2 gardeners planting and helping to clear away – John and William and the horses charging away and snigging trees for Mosey and his man to saw up into railing –said William K– (Keighley) they reckon 18 feet of wood to yield a pack of bark – the allowance made for bark in measuring wood mentioned in Hoppus, it is not the Custom to make in Yorkshire – George Naylor appointed surveyor of the high ways in Southowram –

M.

from 12 50/60 to 2 10/60 at my desk – and wrote what I thought of writing and sending in the evening to Mrs B– (Barlow) in answer to her tirade – at 2 10/60 went back to the plantation staid there perhaps near 1/2 hour after William K– (Keighley) went then went down to the bottom of the walk – their ashes partly washed away by a flush of water from Charles Howarth’s – must this stopt – then measuring to see how much railing it would take to rail off the whole of Lower brook ing wood and the walk above (in Lower brook Ing) anew – about 200 yards in length – 
came in at 5 20/60 – dressed – Dinner at 6 1/4 – came upstairs at 6 55/60 (had my wine afterwards) and from then to 7 55/60 wrote and sent by John to
‘Madame Madame Barlow, Rue des Champs Elysées No. 6, Paris’ the following 2 pages with 4 or 5 lines on the end of the other side to my aunt – Shibden Saturday evening 6 December 1828. Maria! I have been out all day, and have just got your letter – my heart aches more than perhaps you think, but would ache still more were it not supported by a conscience comparatively void of offence – I have neither time nor spirit to enter into detail – my letter, to save the next mail, must be in the posting - office in an hour; and I have ordered the servant to have his horse standing ready in the stable – at all rates, I lose not a moment in complying with your request to write as soon as I can – you have always found me at least ready to oblige you to the utmost of my poor ability; and on this, surely, not when scandal can shake your faith – if after your receipt of these few hurried lines, you still wish me not to return, I will do all I can to oblige you in this, also – But I give you my word of honour, you are mistaken –Madame G– (Galvani) is, at this moment, forcibly recalled to my mind, whom I have heard more than once observe, that the French not only tell all they know, but much more – not only count over what they have received, but  boast of what they have not – to me considered individually and singly, all this is unimportant: – to me considered collectively and in connection with others, it has an importance exactly equal to the credit given to it by those whose good opinion and regard I value – Perhaps, Maria, I might  justly complain to find myself so precipitately condemned unheard – Presumptive evidence, however plausible, should always be received with caution; and even the positive assertion of those whose veracity we have in any instance been known to doubt, should be well examined, and well weighed, before we attempt to fix on it the stamp of truth – But if you continue to do me the injustice you do me at present, I shall not blame your heart for it; and this at least, will shed one little beam of light along the darksome cloud that you have thrown around me – If you still desire my not returning to Paris till you are gone, (and may I entreat you to spare me, as soon as you can, at least the misery of suspense) I will do my utmost to manage it, and will take all the care in my power never to intrude upon you more – my constant prayer will be for your happiness – and may you live to discover that your esteem has not been deservedly forfeited by your ever steadily and sincerely affectionate friend AL (Anne Lister) – will you be good enough to send the 3 or 4 following lines to my aunt – Shibden Saturday evening 6 December 1828. my dear aunt   I am in a hurry to send off my letter to Mrs B– (Barlow) I find Dr T– Tupper can still give no decided answer – without further hesitation, lose no time in taking our present apartment for 3 months longer – It delights us to hear such continued good accounts of you – very busy – I shall stay over the rent-day, at all rates – all quite well – ever most affectionately yours AL (Anne Lister) – my father and Marian send their love’ – 
went downstairs at 7 55/60 and had my wine – then asleep on the sofa above an hour, till 10 – then talking about my aunt’s return to Shibden (my father always wishes it and will see no objection – no difficulties in the way), the difference it would make to all parties, servants etc. etc. and came upstairs at 10 40/60 – then till 11 wrote (all but the 2 first lines) of the first 13 lines of today, etc. Highish wind now at 11 p.m. – Very fine day –

Characters: Frisk, Norman B., Dipper P., Mabel P., Coraline J., Wirt, Greg, the Cat, the Frog; Sans, Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Asgore,; the Other Mother, the Beast, Agatha P., Bill Cipher, Asriel D., Chara D.,
Pairings: Not the focus. Alphys/Undyne, with mentions of Papyrus/Mettaton, sans/Toriel/Asgore, and Wirt/Sara.

Rated a high +K for violence, mild language, horrific elements that may be disturbing to younger readers,  mentions of child abuse and bullying, character death that is sometimes permanent, and mentions of suicide that may be triggering. These elements remain relatively unchanged from their source material, which most all are for children, but discretion is advised nonetheless.

Start from beginning / Previous chapter / Next chapter
Chapter 3
Undyne was right behind him.
Norman ran along the piers in the Waterfall. Energy spears shot up from the ground, never quite hitting him but always getting closer than he wanted them to be.  The floor was splitting below him.
He reached a dead end. Undyne’s footsteps, loud metal clacking on wood, slowed. She knew it was a dead end too.
He turned and saw her take one more step, right where her spears had splintered the wood already. There was a sickening cracking noise as the bridge collapsed. He fell.
“It sounded like it came from over here…Oh! You’ve fallen down, haven’t you? Are you okay? Here, get up…Chara, huh? That’s a nice name. My name is—”
 He was awake before he could hear the last part of that.
It took Norman a minute to regain his bearings. He had landed on a patch of golden flowers, the same kind that were in the Ruins. Above head, he could make out just the faintest rays of the sun. He was still in the Underground.
What was that? It was too vivid to be a dream, he realized, and he did not think he had fallen asleep anyway. It was more like a vision. He did not recall having visions, but for some reason, the idea felt right in his head. If he could see ghosts, anything was possible, he supposed.
There was no point of worrying about it now. If it was a vision, it had not told him enough to make sense of it. Norman picked himself up and continued forward.
There was no better way to describe the things that emerged from the ground: they were zombies. They looked as ever bit grotesque as the art in Norman’s room depicted them; pale green skin that should have rotted, skeletal limbs and organs that should be spilling out.
The FIGHT began.
The Cat ran in-between Frisk and the zombies, hair sticking on ends and a hiss in his throat. He stood ready to pounce at the first sign of conflict. Without thinking about it, Frisk ran a CHECK on the closest one.
????? 80 ATK 80 DEF
He’s been asleep for a long time. It’s not his fault.
The zombie lurched forward, but did not otherwise attack. He would not attack them straight out, Frisk realized.  So they decided to ACT.
*CHECK                          *TALK
*CONSOLE                      *CRITISIZE
*STEAL WIG
Hi! I’m F-R-I-S-K! They signed quickly, ending with a little wave.
The zombies gave her a confused look. Maybe they didn’t understand signing. Frisk reached for their notebook and wrote it down during the zombie’s turn.
The zombie with the wig leaned into it, old eyes struggling to read it. He reached for the notebook and pen.
JUDGE HOPKINS 80 ATK 80 DEF
He’s been asleep for a long time. He did what he had to do.
The place Norman had landed in was a Dump. Most of the garbage had been kept in bins and bags, but quite a bit was flowing through the pond freely. Norman could make out some things that were clearly monster-made, like gloves for six-fingered folk and a jar of construction paper labelled “Temmy Flaeks.” Most of it, however, looked like it came from above; coolers, desktop computers with empty contents, DVD cases with desperate claw marks covering the surface.
Norman was so absorbed in looking for the human-made things that he hardly noticed when the Training Dummy jumped in front of him.
“HAHAHAHA…Too intimidated to fight me, huh!?” said the Dummy. “I am a ghost that lives inside a DUMMY. My cousin used to live inside a dummy, too. Until…YOU CAME ALONG!”
He barely remembered the Dummy, all the way back in the Ruins. Toriel had just told him to talk to it.  It did not even answer back.
“What did I do?” Norman asked.
“When you talked to them, they thought they were in for a nice chat,” Said the Dummy. “But the things you SAID…! Horrible. Shocking! UNBELIEVABLE!”
Norman may not have remembered the Dummy very well, but he knew that all he did was ask him how the weather was before Toriel said that was good enough.
“It spooked them right out of their dummy!  HUMAN! I’ll scare your Soul out of your body!”
Mad Dummy blocks the way.
“Listen, I didn’t mean—“ Norman started.
He stopped as a series of dummy-shaped bullets were fired his way. He jumped out of the way. He jumped back as they spun around like boomerangs and rushed back to him.
“OWWWW, you DUMMIES!! Watch where you’re aiming you MAGIC attacks!” the dummy cried.  “Wait…forget I said that!”
Another set of bullets fired towards him, but Norman easily dodged them and watched them fire back at the Mad Dummy.
“HEY GUYS!” The Mad Dummy shouted as he summoned his next round of bullets. “Dummies. Dummies! DUMMIES! YOU’RE FIRED! YOU’RE ALL BEING REPLACED!!!”
The dummy bullets faded out of existence with sheepish expressions,
“Now you’ll see my real power,” said the Mad Dummy. “Relying on people that aren’t garbage!”
Mechanical whirs filled the room. Norman tried to talk him down again. He didn’t seem much for conversation. Nobody was happy with this.
The next set of bullets appeared, bulkier and boxier than the others. Norman jumped out of the way like the others, only to turn around and find they were still chasing him down. He ran forward, coming face to nuzzle with the Mad Dummy as they lost course and plowed into it.
“DUMMY BOTS! You’re awful???” the Mad Dummy cried.
More missiles were launched towards Norman, and he found himself running in circles. A few more hit the Mad Dummy.
“Who cares. Who cares! WHO CARES!!! I DON’T NEED FRIENDS!”
The dummy bots vanished, and were replaced with a single large bullet.
“I GOT KNIVES!!!”
The knife landed by Norman’s feet.
“I’m…out of knives.”
More bullets filled the field, but not the ones the Mad Dummy used. Most of them faded out before they got close to Norman, instead landing on the Mad Dummy and sizzling.
“Wh-what the heck is this? Acid rain?” said the Mad Dummy. “Oh FORGET IT! I’m outta here!”
The Mad Dummy slipped past Norman and back out into the fields of worthless garbage.
“…sorry, I interrupted you, didn’t I? as soon as I came over, your friend immediately left…oh no, it looked like you guys were having fun…oh no………………………………………………………………………………..”
There was a storm brewing in Blithe’s Hollow. As soon as the sun set and the dead rose, there was a chill in the air. Storm clouds hung in the air, crackling with thunder. Frisk could just make out the shapes that formed as they swirled. But it was not just a storm; that much was obvious. There was a type of pressure on their Soul, the same they usually felt as a Fight started. Something else was going on.
After a long back and forth conversation between two people that could not talk and two games of tic-tac-toe, Frisk understood better. The witch was not buried with the judges. They would have to find her grave, and start from there. Judge Hopkins was the only one, possibly ever, who knew where she was buried, so he led the way.
The town was deathly still. What was once packed with ghosts and people now only held a few cars and bystanders. The only sign that there was still life were the neon signs and traffic lights.
For some reason, that scared the zombies the most.
I know, gas prices have gone too high, Frisk wrote down in the notebook, because it seemed like a smart thing to say.
Jude Hopkins snatched the notebook from them and began writing furiously. He had filled nearly a page when they first heard the screams.
“well…I’m gonna go head home now…” said Napstablook. “oh…feel free to ‘come with’ if you want…but no pressure…”
“I don’t want to impose,” said Norman.
“neither do I…” said Napstablook.
They didn’t seem much for conversation. Nobody was happy with this.
“I live up just this way, in case you want to join me…” said Napstablook. “or, in case, you don’t…”
The neighborhood that sat just above the dump was small. There were only a handful of houses but they were all uniquely shaped. No one house looked the same, and no one house looked like a real house. Even Napstablook’s house was built into its neighbors, forming a perfectly symmetrical image.
The interior was much more what Norman would have expected. There were no chairs, but he remembered how his grandmother liked to phase in and out of furniture and figured most ghosts didn’t invest in things they could not touch. Yet there was a desk with a working computer, a small TV, even a refrigerator. And on the other side of the house were piles and piles of CDs.
“uh…do you wanna…listen to some tunes, or something…?” Napstablook asked.

Hi! Do you know of any fics where Harry and Draco are both Aurors and have to work together? I've read quite a few but haven't come across one in a while. Either permanently partners or firced together for a single case, both work for me. (Note: I have read everything by l0vegl0wsinthedark so, much as I love reading and rereading What Real Thing, I figured it would better to warn you :D Thank you so much for all of your recs, they are so, unspeakably helpful! :)
Tumblr media
(Thank you @celticrose1989​ and @awesomesauceuniverse​ for the requests!! I decided to combine these, since fics in which only Draco is an auror/cursebreaker are pretty rare. I was planning to also combine this with a request for just Auror!Harry (with miscellaneous Draco) to make a giant Auror Drarry list, but it ended up being ridiculously long, so that one will come later this weekend! This one is already super long as-is, so I’ve tried to limit my commentary to 2-3 lines. Let it be known that it was very difficult, hahaha.)
Auror/Cursebreaker Partner Drarry Recs
What Real Thing? by loveglowsinthedark / @l0vegl0wsinthedark (13K)- They don’t cuddle, they don’t talk about their relationship (or lack thereof) and they certainly never fall asleep in each other’s arms.I know you’ve already read it, but you can’t expect me to just not include this amazing sexy pining fluffy piece of wonderfulness in my auror rec list!!! It includes the BEST AIRPORT SCENE (not at an airport) EVER.
Higher and Higher (Temptation) by birdsofshore (28.5K)- Only Harry Potter could manage to put on a magical collar on impulse and find himself unable to take it off again. Now following Draco’s direct orders gives him intense pleasure, and Draco has a whole heap of troubles to deal with, not least the way Potter looks when the collar has him gasping with bliss. The whole situation would test the morals of a saint… and Draco’s no saint.THIS FIC!! EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED. I STILL REMEMBER CLICKING ON IT AND NEARLY ORGASMING RIGHT THERE and it totally does its description justice! Technically Draco is a cursebreaker here.
Two Weeks by shiftylinguini / @shiftylinguini (22K)- If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actually him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harry’s been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesn’t want to ask for help. Can’t he?WONDERFUL FABULOUS YES TIMES 96382!! Veela!Harry but like, read it even if that’s not usually your thing. GREAT pining!!! Phone sex. P H O N E S E X.
Lift Your Open Hand by firethesound / @firethesound (19K)- With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.What could you possibly need that isn’t in this fic? Includes bonding, domesticity, bed sharing, and Nicolas Cage. Perfection
Sex on Legs in Six-Inch Heels by tessacrowley / @tessacrowley (10K)- Draco Malfoy is a brilliant freelance cursebreaker and the only one who can help the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with a very dangerous case, but more importantly, he’s wearing six-inch heels, and Harry cannot handle it, he really just can’t.One of the first fics I read and STILL one of the hottest! The sex is amazing, as is the fact that Draco wears (surprisingly practical!) heels and women’s clothing in general I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Highlands by Seefin / @seefin (16K)- The tent was a joke, that was basically the only explanation he could come up with as to why the Aurors would send he and Draco on a several-month mission with only their most basic model. Once, when Harry had been on one of the big ones, the kind of mission where there was a little Auror camp out in the wilderness, twenty or so tents all pitched practically on top of each other, he had slept in one with two stories. Actually it was more of a mezzanine level, but still. Their current one didn’t even have a fucking toilet. And if Harry were allowed to communicate with anyone other than Draco then he would definitely be lodging an official complaint right about now.This fic is so sweet and slow (despite being only 16K, idk how she does it!). I love the development of their relationship, and being forced into close quarters is especially w o n d e r f u l.
Little Talks by femmequixotic and noeon / @femmequixotic and @noeeon (11.5K)- Draco’s been shagging the Head Auror for months now, and he’s sure it’s just a fling. Until Harry asks him to a Quidditch match, that is, and things go horribly wrong.AAAH THE SEX. Also the adorableness! And the whatthefuckishappening a real DATE??? But THE SEX! And the fluff! Sorry I’m incoherent, just READ IT!
Something More by thusspakekate (9K)- After a night of heavy drinking, Harry Potter has a love bite the size of Wales on his neck and an unsigned note from the man who gave it to him in his pocket. The only problem? He can’t quite remember who he brought home with him the night before. And what’s got Draco Malfoy in such a strop?OMG pining in this one like crazy. It’s obvious why from the summary, right?? Yeah? Just….you’re already feeling the angst, I know it, just read it and let it be resolved
One Big Misunderstanding by agentmoppet / @agentmoppet (7K)- Draco will be the first to admit that his choices aren’t particularly clever, especially when they involve Potter, but this has to be the worst one yet.OH, DRACO. Poor baby sends Harry and Blaise off on a date together and then becomes a jealous wreck and it’s beautiful.
You Send Me (Honest You Do) by firethesound (37K)- As far as potion accidents go in general, and deaging incidents go in particular, Draco knew this could have been so much worse. Harry only lost about ten years, and all his memories are still intact. But the sight of him looking as if he’s stepped straight out of Draco’s Hogwarts memories has dredged up a whole mess of complicated feelings Draco thought he’d buried years ago, and Draco really doesn’t know what to do with any of it.This is a GREAT use of the deaging trope (without being at all creepy btw, so don’t worry!), and Harry has tattoooooos!! Also more pining pining pining
Tales from the Special Branch Series by femmequixotic (304K so far)- When Gavin Robards asks him to form Special Branch seven-four-alpha, Harry Potter knows they’ll have to work outside the confines of the law–even though they are the law.Are you tired of me reccing this series yet? TOO BAD I’LL NEVER STOP MUAHAHA. This list just wouldn’t be complete without it! Who could ever tire of Draco fucking Harry, his senior officer???? NOT ME!!
All Our Secrets Laid Bare by firethesound (150K)- Over the six years Draco Malfoy has been an Auror, four of his partners have turned up dead. Harry Potter is assigned as his newest partner to investigate just what is going on.Another fic I’ve recced over and over because IT’S THE QUINTESSENTIAL BEST EVER CLASSIC AUROR PARTNER FIC IN MY OPINION so it literally cannot be missing from this list.
It’s the Love of the Chase (That Created the Ride) by lumosed_quill (14K)- Draco and Harry are new Auror partners. It’s a bit dull. Until they finally see some spell action and things get a lot more interesting (in Draco’s pants).Basically adrenalin rushes from cases make Harry and Draco crave sex and it’s amazing One Harry Potter Please (If Possible, Seduced and Ready) by faithwood (62K)- All Draco wants is Harry Potter’s friendship, just to make his new Auror job more bearable. However, after Harry stubbornly pays more attention to his secret admirer, Draco is forced to resort to drastic measures.So nearly all long-term-auror-partner fics have flangst because how could they not?? But this one stands out to me as being the FLANGSTIEST (this is a word now) EVER. Like an adorable idiot, Draco impersonates Harry’s secret admirer.
The Kaleidoscope Charm, or 50 Shades of Rainbow Magic by Omi_Ohmy (27K)- Getting Draco Malfoy as a boss was not the worst thing that happened to Harry; getting a crush on him was.Auror!Harry is assigned to work with Draco (of the Curse and Lock Breaking Dept). Also he owns a giant angel statue that looks just like him. ;D
Like Diamonds We Are Cut With Our Own Dust by raitala (11K)- Draco has borne the mark of the Dark Lord for over ten years. It is familiar to him, but he pays the price for it every day, and Harry has noticed.This fic is just so cool. It’s based on “that picture” by alekina, which I coincidentally reblogged just yesterday and is amazing and HARRY REMOVES DRACO’S DARK MARK YEP
Whoo Knew? by oceaxe (19K)- Despite having had a crush on his Auror partner for years, Draco’s been biding his time and waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his case. But when Harry subscribes to a new wizarding personals service, Draco gets a wake-up call. With new each message that arrives for Harry from a hopeful suitor, it becomes more and more clear that the time to act has arrived.MORE AUROR PARTNERS BEING RIDICULOUS PINING IDIOTS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE, BUT THEY DO IT ALL SO CUTELY. And with owls this time!!

841) According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey.

I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!

Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign..
849) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
850) Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but non prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss. (laughs) Like that's ever gonna happen. What a load of - (toilet flush)  Allstar - by Smashmouth begins to play. Shrek goes about his day.

Squeeze the jelly from your eyes! Actually, it's quite good on toast.                                       MAN1Back! Back, beast! Back! I warn ya! (waves the torch at Shrek.)  Shrek calmly licks his fingers and extinguishes the torch. The men shrink back away from him. Shrek roars very loudly and long and his breath extinguishes all the remaining torches until the men are in the dark.                                       SHREKThis is the part where you run away. (The men scramble to get away. He laughs.) And stay out! (looks down and picks up a piece of paper. Reads.) "Wanted. Fairy tale creatures."(He sighs and throws the paper over his shoulder.)                                          THE NEXT DAYThere is a line of fairy tale creatures. The head of the guard sits at a table paying people for bringing the fairy tale creatures to him. There are cages all around. Some of the people in line are Peter Pan, who is carrying Tinkerbell in a cage, Gipetto who's carrying Pinocchio, and a farmer who is carrying the three little pigs.                                       GUARDAll right. This one's full. Take it away! Move it along. Come on!

(jerks his rope)                                      DONKEYOh!                                      HEAD GUARDNext! What have you got?                                      GIPETTOThis little wooden puppet.                                      PINOCCHIOI'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy. (his nose grows)                                       HEAD GUARDFive shillings for the possessed toy. Take it away.                                       PINOCCHIOFather, please! Don't let them do this! Help me!  Gipetto takes the money and walks off. The old woman steps up to the table.                                       HEAD GUARDNext! What have you got?                                      OLD WOMANWell, I've got a talking donkey.                                      HEAD GUARDRight. Well, that's good for ten shillings, if you can prove it.                                       OLD WOMANOh, go ahead, little fella. Donkey just looks up at her.                                      HEAD GUARDWell?                                      OLD WOMANOh, oh, he's just...he's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. Talk, you boneheaded dolt...                                       HEAD GUARDThat's it. I've heard enough. Guards!                                                                OLD WOMANNo, no, he talks! He does. (pretends to be Donkey) I can talk. I love to talk. I'm the talkingest damn thing you ever saw.                                       HEAD GUARDGet her out of my sight.                                      OLD WOMANNo, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk! The guards grab the old woman and she struggles with them. One of her legs flies out and kicks Tinkerbell out of Peter Pan's hands, and her cage drops on Donkey's head. He gets sprinkled with fairy dust and he's able to fly.                                       DONKEYHey! I can fly!                                      PETER PANHe can fly!                                      3 LITTLE PIGSHe can fly!                                      HEAD GUARDHe can talk!                                      DONKEYHa, ha!

After him!                                       GUARDSHe's getting away! Get him! This way! Turn!  Donkey keeps running and he eventually runs into Shrek. Literally. Shrek turns around to see who bumped into him. Donkey looks scared for a moment then he spots the guards coming up the path. He quickly hides behind Shrek.                                       HEAD GUARDYou there. Ogre!                                      SHREKAye?                                      HEAD GUARDBy the order of Lord Farquaad I am authorized to place you both under arrest and transport you to a designated resettlement facility.                                                                SHREKOh, really? You and what army? He looks behind the guard and the guard turns to look as well and we see that the other men have run off. The guard tucks tail and runs off. Shrek laughs and goes back about his business and begins walking back to his cottage.                                       DONKEYCan I say something to you? Listen, you was really, really, really somethin' back here. Incredible!                                       SHREKAre you talkin' to...(he turns around and Donkey is gone) me? (he turns back around and Donkey is right in front of him.) Whoa!                                       DONKEYYes. I was talkin' to you. Can I tell you that you that you was great back here? Those guards! They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up, and bam! They was trippin' over themselves like babes in the woods. That really made me feel good to see that.                                       SHREKOh, that's great. Really.                                      DONKEYMan, it's good to be free.                                      SHREKNow, why don't you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends? Hmm?                                                                DONKEYBut, uh, I don't have any friends. And I'm not goin' out there by myself. Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I'll stick with you. You're mean, green, fightin' machine. Together we'll scare the spit out of anybody that crosses us.  Shrek turns and regards Donkey for a moment before roaring very loudly..

Title: I’ve Got You in My Slice - Chapter 5 - The Reaper Comes for Your Rolls!! Pairing: Reaper76 Rating: Teen Tags: Alternate Universe - Bakery, Alternate Universe - Police, Bad Puns, Fluff, Slow Build, Slow Burn Chapter: 5/? Summary:
“Reaper?” he asked.
“Yeah! Reaper!” Jack got up to fetch his phone from behind the counter, and fiddled with it briefly before sitting back down and showing it to Gabriel. There, on the small screen, was a picture — a bathroom selfie, no less — of Jack with a rather peculiar-looking cat, all black save for white markings on its face that made Gabriel think of a bird’s skull.
After 6 months of waiting, here’s an update for you all. Thank you guys for your patience! <3
Surprisingly, despite the impending barrage of holidays, not much had changed in Gabriel's day-to-day life. As usual, he made sure to go back visit his family the day after Halloween to celebrate Dia de los Muertos — bringing abuelo’s favorite brand of mezcal to drink and leave at the family altar, which he also helped with, and staying the night — as well as on Thanksgiving, when the only particular thing of interest that happened was the turkey exploding in the fryer because his brother-in-law — the husband of his oldest sister, Isabela — hadn't thawed it as completely as he originally thought. Thankfully no one had been injured, nothing had burned down, and his second-oldest sister, Carmen, had the forethought of making another turkey ‘just in case’. But nevertheless, the story was interesting and amusing enough to get a few laughs out of Jack when he told it, which made the Thanksgiving migraine worth it in the end, at least.
“What did you do for Thanksgiving? You spend it with your family too?” Gabriel asked when Jack returned to his table with a refill of coffee in his travel mug.
“Oh, no, it's too expensive and too much of a hassle for me to fly back to Indiana for Thanksgiving. Especially when I'm going to be flying back for Christmas anyway,” Jack replied, shaking his head. “I spent most of Thanksgiving at home with Reaper, before I came here to prep for the Black Friday rush.”
It made sense that Jack had the sense to prep and open the bakery to take advantage of Black Friday and all the people that were out getting their shopping on. If Gabriel remembered properly, Jack even had a sign outside the entire week before, announcing the bakery’s special hours on Thanksgiving and the day after. A part of him wondered how well it went, given the nightmare stories he'd heard from some of his fellow officers about needing to assist certain stores with crowd control — Gabriel himself was on patrol that night — and Jack had to change the store's hours to accommodate his morning rushes and allow for midday baking and restocking. How on earth did Jack manage to handle the floods of people no doubt prowling for early-morning munchies and coffee?
But as Jack hadn't looked all that much worse for the wear, and the store opened without incident the next day, Gabriel decided not to ask. He also wondered when Jack would finally get some help with the store, but also kept his mouth shut, knowing it was a rather touchy subject. As open-minded and keen experimenting with things — baking recipes and the like — Jack was surprisingly stubborn.
Instead, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Jack curiously. “Reaper?” he asked.
“Yeah! Reaper!” Jack got up to fetch his phone from behind the counter, and fiddled with it briefly before sitting back down and showing it to Gabriel. There, on the small screen, was a picture — a bathroom selfie, no less — of Jack with a rather peculiar-looking cat, all black save for white markings on its face that made Gabriel think of a bird’s skull. It was kind of spooky looking, to say the least, and though it certainly fit with Gabriel's aesthetics, for some reason the hairs on his neck stood on end and a shiver of something both strange and familiar ran up his spine.
He didn’t dwell on it for too long, and shook it off as much as he could before handing Jack back his phone. “It certainly looks the part, at least. And I should've known you'd name your cat something punny too, given how much you love your jokes. Don't tell me, it's spelled R-E-A-P-U-R-R?”
Jack merely laughed and shook his head. “As amazing as that spelling would be, no, it's not. I wasn't the one that named him.”
“Oh, you adopted him, then?”
“Something like that. You know how there are a lot of strays that like to hang out in the alley behind the store? Reaper showed up in the bunch one night — the day after Halloween, if I remember right — and just kinda… attached himself to me?” Jack shrugged. “I checked his collar to see if he had an owner, but he only had a nametag on him. I checked for a chip too, but he didn't have one of those, either.”
“Still... You sure it's such a good idea to just take in some random stray like that?” Gabriel asked, recalling some horror stories several years back about someone taking in a stray only to learn the hard way after it died suddenly that it also had rabies.
“Yeah! I took him to the vet to get a quick look at him and got him all up-to-date on shots,” Jack nodded, “Plus, Reaper is a really smart — if a little clingy — cat, he follows me to and from the store every day. Even knows how to use the toilet!”
Just as Gabriel was about to comment about how bizarre that last tidbit was, both his and Jack’s attention were drawn to the front door.
As if on cue, a loud but muffled meow was heard from outside, followed by a light scratching at one of the glass panels. Sure enough, there sat the spitting image of the cat from Jack’s picture, staring into the store as if demanding entrance. Its gaze settled onto Gabriel, and after several moments of staring without blinking — Gabriel could swear the cat was glaring at him or sizing him up — it meowed again and slapped a paw onto the glass. It turned its head towards Jack, and gave one last meow before dropping its paw and sat patiently waiting.
“Oh shit, Reaper!” Jack cursed slightly as he got up from his chair, “You’re not supposed to be out front like that!” He opened the door enough for himself to slip outside and not let the cat in, and picked it up when it appeared to meow at him again. It seemed to settle down in Jack’s arms, at least, and if the look on its face and swishing tail were any indication, it was likely purring like a motor as well.
As amusing as it was to watch from inside as Jack bounced slightly in place while petting the cat in his arms, and apparently scolding it, Gabriel couldn’t say no when Jack nodded at him from outside, beckoning him to go outside. Sighing, Gabriel stood up, taking his mug with him and hiding a few bills underneath the empty plate as payment for the food plus a small tip — something he resorted to doing after Jack kept refusing to accept more than half the normal price of his food due to his ‘guinea pig’ status — before going out to meet Jack’s new kinda-sorta-pet-slash-stalker.
“Reaper, say hi to my friend, Gabriel,” Jack said, turning slightly so the cat was facing him. Reaper gave Gabriel the same kind of soul-piercing stare as it did before, watching him silently until Jack gave it a nudging scratch behind the ear. It purred lowly until Jack’s coddling stopped. Almost reluctantly, it meowed in greeting at Gabriel. When Gabriel reached over to give it a pet, however, Reaper lept out of Jack’s arms and darted away, turning the corner to no doubt disappear into the alleyway.
“Guess he’s not a fan of me,” Gabriel shrugged.
“I wouldn't take it personally. He might just be a little catty around strangers,” Jack ribbed.
“You said he follows you around though, right?” Gabriel asked, pretending like Jack hadn't made any pun at all.
“Are you trying to say I'm strange?” Jack huffed, holding a hand to his chest as if Gabriel had hurt his feelings.
“I didn't say anything,” Gabriel snorted, smirking as he took a sip from his travel mug.
“You're hilarious,” Jack replied, crossing his arms. The look of amusement on his face did nothing to help sell how horribly Gabriel's barb had injured him.
“Anyway,” Gabriel began, looking at his watch, “My shift’s about to start. I'll see you tomorrow.”
He took a few steps forward before he felt a tugging on the back of his jacket.
“Sorry. Hold on a sec,” Jack said. He let go of Gabriel and began rummaging in his apron pocket before fishing out a worn, brown leather wallet and holding it out. “This belongs to Officer McCree. He left it here last night. I texted him to ask for his address so I could drop it off, but he told me to just hand it to you. He's on duty today too, right?”
“Yeah, he is,” Gabriel replied, taking the wallet, and opening it up. Sure enough, there was Jesse's ID, the grin on his portrait even goofier than how Gabriel remembered his last ID picture looked. He tucked the wallet in his breast pocket and began to walk off again before he stopped in his tracks. “Wait. Texted ? Why does McCree have your number?”
“He asked me for it?” Jack shrugged, “I told him I wasn't interested, and he's not my type, but he insisted. Said something about wanting it anyway in case I wanted another friend to hang out with that wasn't — and I quote — ‘a grump with a stick-up-his-ass.”
Gabriel tried to school his expression and keep it as neutral as possible, and surprised even himself when he somehow managed it. He let out a short, “Huh,” and took another sip of coffee to gather his thoughts. “I'll have a word with him later, then.”
Jack laughed, and waved his hand dismissively, “Don't tell him I told you he said that!”
“Oh, I'm not gonna talk to him about that,” Gabriel muttered under his breath. When Jack tilted his head in confusion, Gabriel simply shook his head. “Don't worry about it,” he said, giving Jack a quick wave before heading off to the station.
“Oh, okay…” Jack replied, still looking slightly confused as he waved back, “Have a nice day, then!”
Sure enough, when Gabriel got to the station, Jesse was at his desk, typing up something or another on his computer. Gabriel took the wallet from his pocket and tossed onto the desk in front of him, drawing Jesse's attention away from the screen when it thudded gently on the wooden surface between his forearms.
“Oh, hey! You got it! Thanks, boss!” Jesse laughed happily as he tucked the wallet back into his pocket. “Mornin’, by the way!”
“Morning,” Gabriel grunted. He folded his arms and frowned slightly. Unable to help himself, he went on to ask, “Mind telling me why you have Jack's number?”
The grin on Jesse's face grew even wider. “No reason! Just thought the guy could use another friend around these parts, what with him still being new-ish to the neighborhood and all!”
Gabriel tilted his head, expression still unimpressed and looking doubtful.
Jesse laughed, and held his hands up in surrender. “Honest ta god, boss. I was just bein’ friendly! You got nothin’ to worry ‘bout, anyhow. Said he wasn't interested when I first asked.”
Gabriel let out a quiet ‘harrumph’ before he went to his desk. Shrugging off his jacket, he draped it over the back of his chair before he sat down, still clearly displeased. He'd known Jack for several months now and he still didn't have his number. Granted, he stopped by the bakery at least three times a week — down from the four originally; didn't want to come off as a creep, after all — and there was no real need to have Jack's number when they met in person so often, but still...
He was briefly torn out of his foul mood when Lena walked over with a bridal magazine in hand, asking him what he thought about her fiancée’s, Emily’s, choice in wedding gown.
“Oxton, why the hell are you asking me?” Gabriel asked, after realizing he had spent the last several minutes looking over pictures of dresses.
“I figured you'd be able to help us narrow down what would look best with my dress, since you know fabrics and drapings and all,” Lena replied, looking at Gabriel with wide eyes as if the answer were obvious.
“Oxton, I make costumes as a hobby. I don't design dresses or work as a wedding planner! Didn't Emily hire someone to help you guys for this reason?” Gabriel frowned, gathering the various pictures strewn across his desk into a neat pile and handing it back to Lena.
“Yeah, but I also figured since you're the one that's gonna be actin’ as my dad durin’ the ceremony, it'd be nice to get your opinion, at least…” Lena answered in a quiet voice, looking slightly like a kicked puppy. Gabriel pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. He never could stand up against that look.
Still frowning, he flipped through the stack of pictures in his hands again, reorganizing the pile after a bit of quiet deliberation, and holding it back out once again. “The top three would be the ones that flatter Emily's figure and complement your dress the best. Now get back to work before Amari catches me helping you pick out your wedding cake and yells at me for ‘slacking off’,” Gabriel turned to his computer and waved Lena off.
“Thank you!” she chirped happily. “And you don't need to worry about that! Emily and I already narrowed down what kind of cake we want.” She smiled, taking the stack of pictures, and turned to start heading back to her desk when she suddenly jolting in place.
“Oh! That reminds me! I need to text Jack and let him know what time Emily and I will be there for the taste-testing!” she exclaimed in realization, mostly to herself. With a renewed cheer, she quickly zipped off back to her desk, fishing out her phone and tapping away at it with a smile plastered to her face.
Gabriel's bad mood quickly sunk back in. Lena had Jack's number too? That was-!
He took a deep breath and shook his head. It would make sense that the Lena would have Jack’s number if he was to be the one making their wedding cake. Jack wasn't giving out his number to just anyone and everyone.
...everyone but Gabriel, that was.
Things came to a head near the end of his shift when Liao, of all people, offered to text Jack and see if he would be able to make a cake in time for the station's holiday party in two weeks. Why the heck did Liao have Jack's number?! If he recalled correctly, Liao had only ever been to Jack's bakery once, and that was with Gabriel after they had coincidentally run into each other on their day off and during their morning jog. Unless he went there again sometime after, and asked Jack for his number… which dredged up even more questions in Gabriel's already-preoccupied mind.
He left the station that night with the same contemplative frown he had that morning, internally grumbling at how it seemed everyone but him had Jack's number and struggling to figure out the best way to ask without seeming too desperate or forward. He enjoyed Jack's company, and didn't want to ruin their casual friendship just yet. Plus, if Jack were to reject him like he did with Jesse, Gabriel wasn't sure if he'd be able to set foot into For Goodness’ Cake ever again.
Surprisingly, his opportunity to get Jack's number came in a way he never would have expected. When he got home to his apartment, he was met with the sight of an all-too-familiar black-and-white cat lurking outside his window.
“Reaper?! What the heck?!” he scrambled to open the window, quickly and carefully as to not startle the cat to the point where it would fall of the rather small ledge and injure itself. With a tiny huff through its nose, the cat jumped from the opened window into his apartment and skittered off to curl up on his couch.
“Hey, Reaper, this isn't your home. Why are you even here? Why aren't you with Jack? He's gonna be worried sick about you,” Gabriel scolded, and tried to pick Reaper up. He got a hiss and furry slap across the face for his trouble — thankfully Reaper had the courtesy not to let out its claws — and quickly reeled back in shock.
“Shit!” he yelped, “What the hell, Reaper?! Did you come here just to make my day even worse?”
Reaper ignored him, and curled up the same way as it did before, closing its eyes and sleeping. Or pretending to sleep. Gabriel couldn't tell, and to be frank, he couldn't be bothered. He growled under his breath and let the cat be, huffing as he left the living room to shower, make a quick dinner, and head to bed.
To his knowledge, Reaper stayed curled up and asleep on the couch until the very next morning, when it jolted right up at the sound of the apartment door unlocking. Without any sort of prompting, it darted out of the apartment as Gabriel held the door open, and even waited at the bottom of the stairs for him to catch up.
Jack was right, Reaper was a very smart cat. It was almost unsettling how smart it was. As if keenly aware of Gabriel's usual route, it led the way to the bakery, with Gabriel trailing behind it the entire time.
When they finally reached the bakery, sure enough, Jack was outside, as usual, setting up the sign of the day's special bakes. The expression on his face was more contemplative than usual, his brows furrowed and forming a rather obvious line on his forehead. Reaper meowed loudly as it approached Jack, and almost immediately, Jack seemed to cheer up at the sight of Reaper. His expression brightened up even more when his gaze landed on Gabriel, causing Gabriel's heart to skip a beat as it usually did whenever Jack looked at him like that.
Crouching down, Jack held out his arms for Reaper to leap into, catching the clever cat, and spoiling it with affectionate pets and scratches.
“How did this happen?” Jack asked, utterly bewildered. “Reaper didn't follow me home last night or to the bakery this morning, so I was worried sick something might have happened to him!” The way Jack's hands unconsciously continued to spoil the cat with affection didn't escape Gabriel's notice, and he couldn't help the small smile that crept its way onto his face at the look of contentment on Reaper’s face.
“I don't know why or how he even got there, but I found him hanging outside my window last night. Reaper didn't want to seem to want to budge from my couch at all, and I figured since it was so late and you'd already closed and I didn't have your number, I may as well let him stay the night and bring him back here in the morning,” Gabriel shrugged. Reaper opened its eyes to stare at him, as if fully aware of his white lie, and judging him, but Gabriel ignored it in favor of maintaining eye contact with Jack.
“Thank you for doing that. I really appreciate it,” Jack said appreciatively, relief written across his face as clear as day. “Like I said, I was really worried about this little guy. My apartment felt kinda empty without him around.”
“No problem,” Gabriel replied, feeling nervous about what he wanted to say next.
After a few moments, he swallowed the lump in his throat and gathered enough nerves to finally ask, “Um, in case this happens again, do you have any way for me to contact you? Like a phone number or something?” He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, terrified that Jack might jump to the conclusion he catnapped Reaper just to get the chance to ask for Jack’s number.
“Oh, yeah, sure!” Jack beamed. “Let's head inside so I can get yours too!” He crouched back down to let Reaper down, and with a quiet meow, the cat dropped from his arms and scampered away, slapping Gabriel's leg with its tail as it passed. ‘ You owe me for this,’ it almost seemed to say, and Gabriel inwardly thanked the cat for the setup.
“Sure,” Gabriel replied, trying to control the grin beginning to form on his face, and fighting the urge to pump his fist in triumph. He was going to get Jack's number, and he managed to ask without making things awkward or a fool out of himself! The urge did overtake him before he was able to make it through the front door, and with a quiet, “Yes!”, Gabriel did a small fist pump when Jack disappeared into the bathroom to wash his hands and likely dust off whatever cat hair Reaper shed on his clothes. Gabriel would later attempt to do the same to his couch when he returned home that night, only to be utterly surprised to find not a single cat hair anywhere in his apartment.
“Did you say something?” Jack asked as he exited the bathroom, tossing away the paper towel in his hands before the door swung closed behind him.
“No, nothing,” Gabriel replied, shaking his head.
Jack shot him a quick look of confused amusement before fetching his phone. He unlocked it and set it on the counter.
“I can never remember what my number is, so could you punch in yours and call yourself while I get this bread out of the oven? They're the prosciutto, cheese, and balsamic onion ones you tasted the last week and said you really liked. I figured I'd roll them out this week and see how popular they are.”
“Sure,” Gabriel answered, ignoring the pun completely. He focused his attention onto Jack’s phone, doing exactly what was asked of him as Jack disappeared behind the swinging steel door. He could almost feel his heart racing slightly when entering in his number, and when his own phone rang, it figuratively soared into the stratosphere.
Finally getting Jack's number put his spirit in such a good mood that day that he couldn't even find it in himself to get angry when he got to his desk and he discovered Jack snuck two extra rolls into his bag. Nor did he even bat an eye when Jesse approached him at his desk, and handed Gabriel $5. “Jack said you dropped this in his store yesterday. It's not like you to be so clumsy, boss,” Jesse scolded playfully before walking off.
Gabriel would just get Jack again next time.

How You Interact: Dark-Side Friends
Since you guys liked my last “How you interact” post, I feel like I should make another. I wanted to do one for Antisepticeye and Darkiplier since I very rarely see posts for these awesome characters.  These head-canons are what I think Dark and Anti would be like as a friend.  Hope you guys enjoy!!
Tumblr media
Anti: 
My God, you’ll never live peacefully again! Not that it’s a bad thing, but Anti loves to mess with you. 
Small pranks that involve misplaced objects. Bookmarks placed three pages back. Occasionally he’ll make your phone screen all static-y just because you’re ignoring him. 
He likes making your mornings just that little more crazy Late for work? It appears your car-keys have disappeared Rough night out? He’ll be nice and make you a coffee, with two spoonfuls of salt to make sure you get your sodium intake today. 
Anti finds your panicked/angry rants amusing. 
But you get him back. He doesn’t like being called by cute nicknames. 
“Aww, Green-Bean, don’t be so mean. I’m only trying to help”  “I will destroy everything you love, (Y/N)”
Anti likes to be the center of attention. If you’re working or studying, Anti will try his best to distract you. At first, it’ll be small things. Like calling out your name in a whiny, jittering voice, balls of paper being thrown at you. Sometimes he’ll mess with your sense of perception so you have to acknowledge him to tell him off.
You simply try to ignore him. It became a game between the two of you to see how long you can last. 
The record was ten minutes; but you had to stop since Anti started messing with your electronics. Flickering the lights and making you see double of everything and a loud buzzing sound almost burst your ear-drums. 
It gave you a migraine for the rest of the day.
Although Anti isn’t the affectionate type; he does small things that brighten your day. 
A single flower will appear on your desk. 
A batch of cookies with milk. 
Even little notes around the house in green writing.
When you ask him about it, he just shrugs. 
“Maybe a little ghost is playing tricks on you”
He’ll try to distract you with video games. You absolutely refuse to let him win at Mario Cart because you don’t want to see his cocky grin. 
Competitions between you are dangerous.
Lamps are smashed and the walls shake from you two yelling at each other. It’s surprisingly relaxing to come home and yell at something.
On really bad days, Anti will appear and disappear on your computer screen. Flashing a smile and making weird faces at you until you give up and allow yourself to laugh. 
“Anti, your blocking the screen” 
“P-Play with me, (Y/N). I’m bor-r-ed” 
On rainy days, when your marathoning a series, Anti will be in the background of the show; waving or dancing ridiculously. 
At serious scenes; he can usually be seen making outrageous faces at the actors. You can’t help but laugh,
Although you try to hate him, you can’t help but adore Anti. It’s a tiring and irritating friendship but you wouldn’t want anything to be different between the two of you.  
Tumblr media
Darkiplier: 
I hope you like a friendship with a lot of flirting. Even though you two aren’t sexual towards each other, it doesn’t stop Dark from winking and speaking seductively towards you.
This makes people mistake you two as a couple. You don’t really complain, but sometimes Dark makes it difficult to make new friends. 
“You don’t need them, (Y/N). I’m all you need” “That would be true, if you could hold a decent conversation that wasn’t always about you” 
Dark likes to insult you. But you can see the hint of a smile whenever he says something. 
You throw it back at him with as much sarcasm as you can muster. He likes your sass. It challenges him to be on his game when he’s around you. 
You’ve witnessed his outbursts personally. But even though Dark has said some violent, horrible things about Mark; Dark is rather placid when you’re around him. 
He’s been pushed back and ignored for long periods of time, he likes to be around someone who acknowledges him. He doesn’t want his anger to frighten you away, but sometimes you do get caught in these outbursts. 
You wait patiently until he’s calmed down. Then make a little comment on the way his head jerks around. 
“So, do you get whiplash? Or are you like an owl under that suit?”  “Ask nicely and I’ll show you.”
Although he wouldn’t apologize, he is grateful you don’t ask about his behavior. Saves him from having to explain himself to a incompetent fool. ;) 
He also likes to play games. Sometimes you don’t even realise you’re part of one until you find yourself in another dimension because you took a wrong turn. 
“Tsk, tsk. You should have taken a left, (Y/N). Now you have to try and escape the Third Circle of Hell to return to the bathroom.” “If you don’t send me back right now, I’ll show you all Nine Circles of Hell!” 
He’s rather affectionate towards you. He’ll give your hand a squeeze as he passes. If you’re feeling uncomfortable in a public place, Dark will come up behind you and place his hand on the small of your back.
But previous mistakes have taught you that this attention has a price. 
He’d never ask anything big of you. Usually he’ll ask you to drive him somewhere, or accompany him to a certain location. Sometimes you “treat” him to dinner on Tuesdays.
But you are still very careful of what you ask of Dark. He remembers even the smallest favors. 
There are times, however, where he does nice things out of nowhere. 
You had a bad day during a work-week and you crumpled under the pressure. Dark found you in a sobbing heap on your bed and sat beside you. His hand gripped your own and he consoled you through the tears. 
Once your tears were dried up, he ran you a bath and almost drowned you in rose scented bubbles. 
It had been a shock to you. But a nice shock.
In the middle of the night, while you’re walking through the house to get a glass of water. You sometimes find a glass of cool water waiting for you in the hallway. 
You mumble a thanks to the shadows and stumble back to bed. 
Sometimes you feel the blankets pull up under your chin on cold nights. 
Other times, Dark will wake you in the early hours of the morning because he was lacking intelligent conversation.
Dark also likes to give you nicknames. 
They’re small and almost demeaning, but you don’t really mind. It’s better than fool or imbecile. (A name a certain family member is called frequently)
“Kitten, have you seen my tie?” “You’re wearing it, Dark. Are you blind as well as emotionless?” 
It’s a weird friendship. One people would first look at and question. But the two of you have many fond memories and the laughter you two share are contagious. It’ll be hard to tear the two of you apart. 
I hope you guys enjoyed this!

Arplis - News: Professional Outdoorsman & Adventurer Forrest Galante Swears By These EDC Items and Outdoor Gear
When SPY caught up with all-around adventurer and outdoorsman, Forrest Galante, he was sitting in his home in Santa Barbara. Just prior to our conversation though, Forrest was in Indonesia. And if it wasn’t for the canceled flights and the quarantines, you can bet Forrest would be far from Southern California right now.
So why track down this man of nature and get him on the phone? Well, we at SPY were curious what a guy like Galante — someone who grew up in Africa, rediscovered species previously thought extinct, and has had his own Animal Planet survival show (Extinct or Alive) — packs on his excursions. After all, if the right outdoor gear can help Galante stay alive when adventuring around hippos, swimming with sharks or spotting snakes in the jungle, it can probably hold up on our next camping trip.
We asked Galante to share some of his favorite pieces of gear and EDC items (all of which you can find below). And for each product, Galante told us over the phone why he loves them. Some may be a little too extreme for the casual hiker, but others are so simple, it’s amazing we don’t all own a few.
But before you dive into his recommendations, allow us to share a few words of wisdom from the professional adventurer: “Every product is a niche product, but if not filled correctly, they cause a lot of difficulty. This is the best of the best in their niche. I wanted to give you honest products that work for me in my line of work. [I’m] very into my gear and I do a lot of research.”
Now that’s a statement SPY can get behind.
Some quotes in this article have been lightly edited for clarity.
   1. HECS Wildlife 3-Piece Suit
Though not a common piece of clothing the average hiker will keep on-hand for day hikes, Galante has found the camouflage suits from HECS to be invaluable. “The Interwoven carbon grid blocks naturally occurring EME, it’s like wearing a microwave door on your body,” says the outdoorsman. And while he says it’s far from “a Harry Potter invisibility cloak,” he feels much more comfortable when wearing it. In fact, Galante has even noticed that animals tend to be more comfortable around him when he’s wearing HECS.
While we wouldn’t recommend donning this three-piece suit and then trying to give a wild lion a hug, it’s a great set to keep in mind when adventuring into the wilds. Or as Galante says, “Common sense should prevail but it’s amazing stuff.”
Buy: HECS® Wildlife 3-Piece Suit Starting at $179.99
   2. INOVA® T11R Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight
“I hate rechargable lights,” Galante says before diving into his next pick. Thanks to his ever-changing schedule and hunt for the new and wild, Galante isn’t always close to an outlet. But even though he generally hates rechargeable lights  — “[I’d] rather carry in 25 lbs of batteries” — he can’t get enough of this flashlight from Inova. “This is the greatest tool in my Batman belt of tools,” says Galante.
It’s easy to see why Galante holds such high regard for this flashlight. While shining on high, it can last for days on end, and it has a beam that packs 5,800 lumens. If you find yourself alone in the dark, you’ll be glad you have this powerful flashlight at your side. And if all else fails, it makes for a great baton or weapon in a pinch.
Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight" data-price="$449.99" rel="nofollow"> Buy: INOVA® T11R Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight $449.99
Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight" data-price="449.99" rel="nofollow">
   3. Kuhl Radikl Pants
“It’s important to have really good outdoor gear,” says Galante. And while he’s often carrying the best of the best in terms of lights, snake hooks and boots, that maxim also applies to pants. “I’ve tried Northface, Arc teryx, all of them. For a garment that is functional and comfortable enough (from airplane to hike), Kuhl is the best. Bar none, over everything else.”
But what makes them great? For starters, they’re made of a cotton/nylon/spandex mix, which gives them good flexibility, durability and breathability. So as Galante said earlier, whether you’re on a long plane ride or a hike, these will keep you comfortable. “[They] fit really nicely, which isn’t the case for most outdoor gear.”
Who says style and functionality are mutually exclusive?
Buy: Kuhl Radikl Pants $89.00
   4. GEAR TIE® Reusable Rubber Twist Tie
“The bread tie on steroids. It does, let me be clear, everything.” When speaking on the phone, it was almost comical how much Galante gushed over this seemingly basic accessory. But then he started telling us stories about his different use cases, from, “Wiring crocodilian jaws shut” to tying items to the skids of helicopters. And then, well, we started to come around.
The ties are simple and incredibly inexpensive, which is why Galante and his team keep tons on hand at all times. They’re made of rubber and a strong wire, which lets you bend them to your will over and over and over. And even better, they come in various sizes and colors, so if you buy an assortment, you’ll be prepared for any issue you may run into out in the wild.
Buy: GEAR TIE® Reusable Rubber Twist Tie $4.49
   5. Electrick Knoxville Polarized Sunglasses
“I don’t think I ever leave home, period, without my Knoxville’s.” For a guy who calls his flashlight the most important tool in his tool belt, this is high praise for a pair of shades. “[I’m] very fair eyed and I spend a lot of time looking into the sun and searching through canopies,” says Galante. For those reasons, he loves Electrick’s Knoxville shades. Polarized, handsome-looking and relatively inexpensive for the quality, we totally get it. “[They] check all the boxes for me.”
Buy: Electric Knoxville Sunglasses $160.00
   6. Kenetrek Safari Boots
“Until a few years ago, I used to be under the impression that you should get a lightweight hiking boot and wear through it in a season,” Galante starts off saying. According to the outdoorsman, that was always his typical practice, until one fateful trek to Fernandina Island. Just before the excursion, Galante picked up a pair of Kenetrek’s Safair Boots linked below, and it changed his outlook forever.
Over the course of the trip, his entire crew went through multiple pairs of boots per person thanks to the exceptionally rough, lava-rock terrain. Meanwhile, Galante didn’t change his shoes once. “I’m still wearing those boots today,” he says, talking about the trip which was well over a year ago. “[I] can’t believe how much [they] changed what I do and what I wear.”
Kenetrek’s boots are nearly 3 pounds of leather and rubber that come in a sturdy and tough package. And if they can stand up to lava rocks in Fernandina Island, they’ll surely last you through several hiking seasons.
Buy: Kenetrek Safari Boots $359.95
   7. Petzl Duo S Headlamp
It’s hard to argue with Galante when he calls Petzl’s Duo S, “The best headlamp to date that is available.” Especially when he goes on to tell us he’s dropped it into the ocean and had it knocked off his head from the wind of a helicopter, only to pick it up, dust it off and keep using it.
“Say I have a 6-foot cobra in my hand, I don’t have the ability to be holding a light in my left hand. And I don’t have the ability to have my crew lighting for me, in case my body gets in the way. But when I have a headlamp in my hand, I can work with both hands and work in any direction and use my feet. I can trust the tool on my head to keep the area in front of me lit up.”
Petzl’s Duo S produces 1,100 lumens and comes equipped with several modes, allowing you to keep an eye on anything and everything throughout your adventures.
Buy: PETZL Duo S Headlamp
   8. Garmin Fenix 6 Pro
For Galante, many of his product selections are based on efficiency. And that is never more true than it is with his Garmin Fenix 6 Pro watch. “It’s given me efficiency, I’d say 300%. [It has] Increased my confidence and productivity.”
Prior to finding the Fenix 6, Galante would chart on a map where he placed various game cameras (which allowed him to take automatic pictures of wildlife throughout a given area). But that can be a horribly tedious task when you’ve hiked miles and your mark on your paper map is just a little off. But since getting the Garmin, that’s no longer a problem. “I can put out 200 trail cameras and just hit a button on my watch and never have to think about where that camera is again, because I marked it on my watch. It will chart a course to go back to my cameras.”
And while Galante may not care as much about the smartwatch features this Garmin boasts, the watch still has plenty of those to brag about, too. From text notifications to workout animations and (of course) navigation, this powerful watch has too many functions to count. And we mean that in the best way possible.
Buy: Fenix 6 Pro $899.99
   9. Tongs Collapsible Snake Hook
Though this is a much more niche product, and we’d highly caution against picking one up and diving into the world of snakes, we still felt it worth noting Forrest Galante’s favorite snake hook. “I never leave without my collapsible snake hook,” Galante says of his Tongs collapsible hook. The hook can extend up to 39 inches, but in its most compact form is only 17 inches long. What’s more, it weighs just under a pound, making it an easy tool to keep on hand in the field.
  Buy: Tongs Collapsible Snake Hook $49.95

Bought a new (to me) car 3 weeks ago and I love it! via /r/cars
Bought a new (to me) car 3 weeks ago and I love it!
After searching for about a year now, many test drives and much contemplation (or as some would call it, obsessing) I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2016 Mercedes Benz C450 (///AMG?)
https://imgur.com/a/9Yj0lHT
I searched for quite a while to find this car and was glad to find one a couple states over that had a low price and only 33k miles on for that sweet sweet warranty. It felt like quite a risk to pretty much buy a car sight unseen, especially a Mercedes from a small town Chevy dealership in rural Indiana, but my dad and I loaded up and made the 10 hour round trip. The drive back was a blast because the car is great and nothing seemed blatantly wrong, which came as a huge relief.
The car is everything I have wanted, I personally love the styling of the exterior and interior. The red stitching and alcantara is a great interior combo along with the sleek black exterior. Most of all, the car is very fun to drive. I test drove quite a few cars before buying this one (I'll talk about those as well) and to me, this was just the most fun, by far. I look forward to driving to and from work every day.
The car did have 4 recalls to catch up on, an oil change, the passenger doors did not close properly on the right side (a latch issue apparently) and the panoramic roof was very rattly, but this was all fixed under warranty and the maintenance was not as expensive as I was expecting from a German car.
In the week that all of the updates, repairs and maintenance was being done on my car after getting it back home to St. Louis, I had a GLC300 loaner, I was quite excited about this because I have never had an SUV before. At first I enjoyed the visibility and smooth ride, but by the end of the week in it I was itching to get back in my car. Turns out luxury SUV's are BORING, definitely not the choice for me right now.
Here is a list of top contenders, as well as other cars I test drove that I felt just did not measure up. First, there were 3 other cars that were finalists in my consideration:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
This car was great. Its gorgeous and stand out styling really drew me in initially, especially because they are an incredibly rare sight here in St. Louis. Upon test driving the car, the handling was amazing and the car was fun to drive. This is the sedan that I drove that had the best steering. On the down side, the car did lack some power, the brakes took a bit of getting used to and the interior was decent, but visibility was not excellent (the b pillar was in the way for me where I found a comfortable seating position). Overall though, this is really nit-picking and I was actually all in on leasing one until I had to deal with the people at the local Maserati/Alfa dealership. They were totally disorganized and felt like skeezy car salesmen, definitely not a luxury car buying experience and by far the worst interaction I had at any dealership. After sitting for about an hour in a salesman's office with no negotiating, the sales manager finally came in. The specific car I wanted had a 52k msrp with a 7k dealership mark down to 45k because, like I said, no one in stl buys Alfas. Turns out the other reason they do not buy them is because when we tried to negotiate from there, the manager immediately got offended saying we were just making demands on the price and not negotiating (asked for 39k... maybe a tad low but not a completely obscene first number). After being treated horribly, I decided I did not want to give them my business or have to deal with them ever again and walked out. Big bummer, the car was great.
Dodge Challenger (Scat Pack)
I actually was about to sign a lease on this vehicle, but 2 days before I did, I found my C450 online and made up my mind then. The car was LOUD, and fun to drive. The interior was much nicer than I expected from a dodge and I personally love the styling of the front with the headlights. Not a huge fan of the Kylo Ren taillights though. The car rode rough and the handling was a bit terrifying with so much horsepower under the hood, but the NA V8 was intoxicating. In retrospect, I'm glad to not have gotten this though due to the prospect of such a high horsepower car with RWD in bad weather as my DD, plus the terrible mpgs.
Porsche Boxster (2014)
So I actually turo'd this car (a 2016) for a day back in March while I was living in San Diego. It was red with black interior and had the beautiful hum of a 6 cylinder, not that 4 cylinder abomination they have now (I half kid). The mid engine RWD was unique and nice. I was actually a bit underwhelmed though. The seats were not that comfortable and the ride was a bit rough for a DD. The steering feel did not feel any better than the Giulia's or my C450's, although I did not push this car hard. It also felt a bit pokey on the throttle. I make the car sound bad, but there is just something about a Porsche that made it impossible to get the car out of my mind. I just wanted to get behind the wheel again so badly after driving it. If I lived in SD instead of STL I would probably have gone with this car. Back in reality land though, a sports car convertible with no back seat and no obvious advantages over the Giulia or C450 made this car take a back seat (pun intended).
Quick synopsis of other cars I drove:
-Jaguar F-type- So I drove the 4-cylinder one that was new for 2018. Gorgeous car and nice interior, but it just feels wayyyy too heavy, has bad visibility and its seriously slow. Do not buy this car with the 4-cylinder, it just does not match the car and feels terrible in combination with it.
-BMW M240i- It was fast. It was gorgeous in blue. It also was disappointingly boring. I'm sure it's a great handling car, but it just was not exciting and did not do it for me. The interior was terrible too, some call it spartan, I call it lazy. Plus I am not huge into the 24 year old with a BMW image.
-Audi S5 (2015)- I actually prefer the older ones without the glued on tablet in the middle. This car was faster than I expected and a real looker, nice interior. The steering was loose and I just did not like it as much as the C450.
-Mazda CX-5- Drove just as well as the GLC300. The ones with the interior upgrades were actually quite nice inside and I love the styling. In my opinion, this is the best buy in the SUV market, but that is not the market I was in. I would rate it like 1 point on a 10 point scale below the GLC300 and for 15k less, it's a no-brainer.
-Miata- FUUUNNNN, but I don't wanna die.
-Volkswagen GTI- Actually really fun and peppy. Nice interior, way above its class. Could use more power, the Golf R is probably great, but I never drove it. IMO really ugly cars though.
-Jetta (2019 remodeled ones)- My dad actually bought this a week before I bought my car. These things are seriously nice. He bought an R-Line and it looks really good. The interiors are really nice and the car is surprisingly quick until it runs out of power at about 45 mph. If you just want a good mpg DD that can get to the next stoplight fast with a good interior, I would highly recommend this.
-Lexus IS300 F-Sport (2016)- These are some good looking cars. The interiors are seriously nice, very underrated and offers a very smooth ride. Horrible mpgs though and just a bit boring for my taste.
-Mercedes Benz C300- This car may look like a C450, but if you just drove both without looking at them and all the other stuff, it would blow your mind that it is sorta the same car. Totally different rides.
I really wish I had gotten to test drive a Corvette because that seems like it would have been doable, but it was not in the cards. Also, the Genesis G70, too bad it did not come to America sooner.

Sleep Sinatra | Dreamscapes, Angels, and Real Lyricism | An Interview
Lincoln, Nebraska isn’t known as a hot spot for top shelf lyricism, let alone hip-hop that’s at the forefront of the listeners minds in general, and MC Sleep Sinatra along with his team of like minded artists are determined to change the perspective. Sleep is a hustler who is on a serious mission to push his name towards the lead of everybody’s top MC list, and his new album [D]arkangel just might be the project that catapults him up those lists where he rightfully belongs. 
Tumblr media
Sleep Sinatra took some time to chop it up with me after having sent me an advance of his new album, and we talk about Fatherhood, his home town scene, how he approaches his craft, the importance of knowing your worth as an artist, and the proper way to wear your durag. 
Peep the dialogue below, and buy Sleep Sinatra’s new album!
_______________________________________________________
DTN:  (D) A R K A N G E L drops June be 29th. It's your newest piece and if I'm being completely honest probably your most impressive album yet. It seems like there was Zen like focus on everything here...what inspired this album? And how was the creation process different compared to previous projects?
Sleep Sinatra:  Thanks my dude! Honestly the creation process with this album was much different. In between my last full length "VIBRANIUM" and the multitude of EP's I dropped after that, I experienced a lot of life changes. Gained new accolades and took new losses. It matured my perspective. Also,prior to this album I've been boxed in as a "conscious" rapper, which isn't untrue because I feel like my rhymes force you to think or look up references. I'm out to prove that I'm a Top Tier MC OVERALL with this one.
DTN:  For anyone who might not know you well, tell us a little about your back story. You've spoken on this album about being locked up reading Malcolm X...what was your come up? How did this impact your world view as an artist?
SS:  So for those that don't know, I'm from Lincoln,Nebraska. It's the Capital and about an hour or so away from Omaha,The Birthplace of Malcom X. Black and Urban Culture, actually most ethnicities are pretty suppressed here (it's a trump state so,you know) and it's been like that for as long as I can remember until recently. My parents passed when I was young. My dad from a controversial suicide that most people believe was a murder due to his involvement in the drug trade. My mother passed from cancer when I was 7 or so. I was passed between relatives until High school,learned most of life's hard lessons on my own due to that. Hip Hop gave me a way to channel my feelings and express myself in a positive manner. If it wasn't for a few solid homies (shouts to Static Soul, An Hobbes,and Toad The Newsense) letting me cut my teeth at shows and gain stage experience and a further passion for the craft, Who knows where I'd be man.
Tumblr media
DTN:  You're from the era of two tone durags. 2 questions here....what color scheme you rock? And you let the flap fly or you roll that shit in?
SS:  Hahaha. Currently rockin the blue and white , I usually roll the flap in but i guess it just depends on how I'm feeling at the moment
DTN:  Your style is very heavy on lyricism laced with life lessons and questions. It's very reminiscent of the likes of Nas, OC, Mobb Deep and others of that era. Who were and are your influences and why is this approach important to you?
SS:  That's a heavy compliment. Appreciate that. All those you mentioned were definitely influential. I would say that Big Pun, early Jus Allah,and Andre 3000 were my biggest influences when i first start to conceptualize the idea of rhyming myself. Just the way they structured their bars. Andre's vividness. Pun's unearthly multi's. Jus's Punchlines. All captivated me and forced me to push my pen and simultaneously dig deeper into the culture.
DTN:  You and your Dreamscape crew seem like you're really working hard to move the Lincoln scene not only forward, but as a place that needs to be taken seriously. What are some of the struggles you've seen and what are you guys striving for?
SS:  That's validating man! Glad you recognize that. We have been working very hard to solidify our own hip hop community and and show and prove that this is a legitimate tour stop for national touring Hip Hop acts as well. Between myself, Mike Reed (From The Woods photography) , Alex Durrant, Phantom Janitor, Abe The Griot and Eddie Branch we have an eclectic kinda outcasted bunch. We all utilize our talents cohesively and really are only just beginning  to create the chemistry. The biggest struggles we have experienced both on a macro and micro scale have been being taken seriously by both venues and the Hip-Hop community that exists outside of Nebraska. There is a misconception that it's just cornfields and farms here and we are striving to break that perception and introduce the world to an environment that often gets overlooked.
DTN:  How does fatherhood inform and impact your approach to your craft?
Tumblr media
SS:  Fatherhood changed me dramatically.  Before I had children I was reckless, taking mad risks and almost paid for it dearly several times. It impacts my approach to my craft in a sense of me being more introspective and reflective in my day to day and there for in my rhymes. Being a Dad makes you Think twice about a lot man,it also motivates me. Not having a father figure in my life i feel I've already done more then any male role has ever done for me and that feels good but I got a long ways to go haha. I feel like if you really listen it translates in the music too.
DTN: Tell me about how and why you've reached out to the very talented producers you reached out to. You've seemed to have crafted something steeped in lush jazz/soul loops that compliment your voice and style perfectly.
SS: It really all sort of just came together. After I recorded and Released "B.I.E" produced by The Custodian Of Records and saw the response we got, I decided to create a project revolving in around that sound, in majority at least. Beat selection is something that's very important to me. I think eventually i'll transition into making my own beats or just beats in general because I have a very specific ear for certain elements. I have a deep appreciation for the production craft. Coming up alongside ICHIBANHASHFACE and seeing his development and process on the sp404 I think really cemented that for me.
DTN: You recently had Adrian come out on vinyl... How important is it you to start being able to bring those formats forward to your audience?
SS: The "Adrian" Vinyl release actually marks my 4th project to drop on Vinyl. This is the 1st one were I've had direct input and control over,as crazy as that sounds. Shouts to Ismail at Lowtech. Easily the realest and most honest boutique label owner I’ve dealt with. I was a few years younger on my past vinyl releases and maybe a little less experienced. it wasn't horrible deals but I wouldn't release music through those labels again. I Think its important to have your music in some type of physical format whether Vinyl,cassette,or CD. It's a tangible piece of evidence nahmean? there's people in Croatia and Japan that own physical copies of my work. That's Astonishing to me.
DTN: There seems to be a trend happening that I think was birthed or made popular by Westside Gun with the high price point for digital releases... Do you think that hurts the culture in anyway?
SS: Shouts to WSG and All the other heads making a shift in this culture and recognizing their worth. I think its the exact opposite honestly. Having made a multitude of sacrifices myself for this art-form I know I personally feel a type of way when heads try to low ball me for my merch and or music releases. It just shows the lack of respect or understanding for the full process of creating an Album. Don't get me wrong, if you are cutting your teeth and seeking to be heard then by all means, drop projects for free or on soundcloud so people can hear you. If you have a trail of accolades that you can show and prove with though, and you KNOW you've truly put the work in, then as an Artist you should always know your worth and place value on your art appropriately. Took me a long time to understand that. I'm glad I did when I did though.
DTN: Who are your current favorite MCs making shit that motivates you?
Tumblr media
SS:  Everybody that featured on this album. Indigenous AK from my City has had me replaying his project "Dead Poet" Heavy lately, ICHIBANHASHFACE, Conny Franko, to name a few from my region. nationally? Adonis from Long Beach, Eto, Hus Kingpin, Willie The Kid, Planet Asia. (PA is probably my favorite living and active MC as well) Those are a few that catch my ear every time I listen.
DTN:  To close out...first thank you for the interview and for the outstanding album that is [D]arkangel. What do you want the listeners to get from this album, and where do you see yourself 2yrs from now musically?
SS: And thank you!
This Album is meant to be taken in in layers. You can appreciate it just for the barring up, The punchlines,metaphors etc. You can appreciate it for the underlying social context if you are the type of person that geeks out over that. Or you can just enjoy the music.
In 2 Years? Ideally I'd like to have gone on a couple tour runs, see some things I haven't seen before. Definitely wanna incorporate live musicians into the fold. Evolution in General.
