𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐌𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐈 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔

— scenario: how twst characters show you how much they love you

— characters involved: riddle roseheart, leona kingscholar, malleus draconia x gn reader

— cw: fluff! reader is implied to be shorter than the character in leona and malleus's part

— a/n: happy international women's day! just wanted to write some fluffy troupes for you guys (after a really painfully long mia and my laziness)

were you late for the unbirthday party that riddle invited you to? don't worry, this cute boy won't scold you about punctuality

instead, he would ask for the reason that made you late

did crowley give you too much work again? did the trouble makers in his dorm drag you into some mess again? let this red haired dorm leader settle the burdens for you

riddle can be quite naggy sometimes, especially towards the dorm members when he spots them not following any queen of heart's rules

however in your case, he is naggy towards your own well being. did you take your lunch today? are you sleeping enough? did anyone bully you in school?

would occasionally invite you over to his dorm just to try out new pastries that trey made (the both of you are taste testers for trey's pastries and no trey totally did not try experimenting new stuff just to give you guys extra lovey dovey time)

i believe he never really read any romance books before, but starts picking them up once the both of you started dating, so that he could get a gist of what a boyfriend should do and how dating should be like

a little awkward sometimes but he tries his very best to make you happy

overall he's just a small little chipmunk that looks out for you in every way and tries to improve himself for you and a little clingy

he's like the.... most unbothered person in the whole campus

doesn't care what's going on as long as it doesn't bother him

has zero tolerance for pests

...... you do know that he doesn't see you as a pest, right?

his ears perched up whenever he hears someone mentioning about him

definitely had his sleeves rolled up tight in case he needs to fight whoever that was bad mouthing you

leona hates loud people, but he doesn't mind you talking his ear off and telling him about your day

he may look disinterested, but trust me, he remembers everything that you say. why? because he cares

you often find yourself surprised when he remembers something that you told him the last time while he was "asleep"

another thing that he does to show his love towards you is that he shares his food to you

he's a big sucker for meat, and a big man like him definitely eats a lot. he doesn't like to share his stuff too, so be glad that this grumpy lion is sharing you his portion of food

frequent head rubs!! he likes to rub his cheek on your head while holding you tight against his body, the warmth of your body lulling him to sleep in an instant

btw lions show affections by doing head rubs :D

congratulations, you are now the most spoilt person in twisted wonderland

for every second you breathe, gold coins starts pilling up in your room

for every second you blink, treasures starts littering itself everywhere in your dorm

for every second your heart beats, you find a clingy dragon fae snuggling into your chest, a tight grip on your waist as he holds you close to him

malleus is a big man, and everyone would assume that he would love being the big spoon

the truth is, malleus enjoys being pampered by his lover

no, he doesn't need money, treasures, or some weird magical artifacts

he just needs his lover to pay attention to him, THATS ALL

in return, he would do anything for you, anything

do you wanna play in the snow in the middle of june? night raven college should be making preparations for early winter

are you eyeing on that tiara that vil happens to wear on his set for a movie? well, it's yours to wear now

are you having some intensive late night cravings? sounds like a good timing to go on a date right? let him just teleport the both of you to the other side of the world, where the sun is still high while the both of you can enjoy a hearty meal and explore the place

he's the type of lover that would burn the whole world just for you

nothing can ever exceed or surpass the amount of love he have for you

Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (16/∞) ♛

↬ The Boucheron Lattice Tiara

Another giant in the royal family's treasure trove, the Lattice Tiara, also known as the Gordon Tiara, takes some serious experience to pull off. Made by Boucheron in the early 20th century, the tiara wasn't originally of royal origin, passing from jewelry box to jewelry box for the better part of forty years. Eventually, in 1941, it was scooped up by the Hon. Mrs. Martha Gordon, a society hostess who was a friend of King James II and Queen Katherine, then the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Woodbine. The Gordons were spectacular hosts, but by the early 60s the couple had racked up a significant amount of debt, fuelled by Mrs. Gordon's expensive taste in clothes and her husband's gambling addiction. These debts eventually caused the couple to be evicted from their West Warwick penthouse, with several of their belongings being sold or repossessed. To alleviate their friends' hardships, James and Katherine purchased several pieces of expensive jewelry from the couple. The idiocy of Mrs and Mr Gordon is something to behold. Dowager Queen Anne wrote in her diary around the time of purchase. I warned Jimmmie against such an outrageous purchase, but he was adamant. Kitten and I look after our friends, he said. One wonders what those two have that's worth such a pretty penny! It's better not to indebt yourself to your inferiors, but I suppose I'm close-minded in my old age. Jim said that, too. To this day the full extent of the purchase is unknown, but it is said to have included a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond chandelier earrings, a sapphire necklace, a gaudy fringe necklace, and at least two tiaras. It was the Boucheron tiara, with its delicate lattice patterning that became a favourite of Queen Katherine. I admit, I've coveted this [tiara] for years [. . .] It never suited Martha's head, anyway. — Queen Katherine in a private letter, spring circa 1962 For the remainder of her life, Katherine wore the lattice tiara consistently. Even after her husband died in 1970, she continued to sport the tiara at high-profile events. The tiara was an interesting part of Katherine's tiara evolution, showcasing how the Queen graduated from small, light-weight tiaras, to heftier, more dramatic pieces. When Katherine died in 2018, it was inherited by her son, King Louis V, and in 2026, it was worn by Tatiana, Princess of Danforth for the first time. The upgrade in jewelry, despite the princess's widowhood, was viewed as a reformation of her status and role as the mother of the future sovereign.

HM Queen Katherine wears the Gordon tiara at the George League Gala concert on April 25, 1970. She pairs the tiara with teardrop earrings also acquired in the 1962 Gordon Purchase and Queen Matilda Mary's Wedding Necklace

HRH Tatiana, Princess of Danforth wears the Gordon tiara at a banquet for international heads of government on May 23, 2027. She also wears the Gordon fringe necklace. The banquet was attended by over 5000 delegates.

So sorry about all that.

Maybe Being Enemies Isnt For Us?

——————

Pairing: Hermione Granger x Fem!Reader

WARNING: None

——————

Third Person P.O.V:

Y/n stood in the corner of the Great Hall as students took the dance floor, she had come alone due to her lack of likeness of men.

...

Okay, she was afraid to ask out one of the girls.

Sue her, young teenage lesbian romance is hard.

Her best friend Blaise had come over and whispered about how Hermione looked stunning tonight, which was true, but Y/n would never admit it out loud.

"She looks fine" Y/n mumbled as she scrapped the dirt out from under her nails. Blaise snickered and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, kissing the top of her head.

"Just admit this rivalry between you two is some petty lovers quarrel" she whispers into her hair and Y/n scoffs.

"We'd have to be lovers first, and this is no quarrel" she replies as he hummed, both thinking back on the reason the two have become bitter Betty.

They had accidentally kissed in the third year after a study session in the library. It was an honest accident, bumping into one another as just a small peck was shared, but the two became messes after it.

Avoiding one another like the plague as they shared looks of hesitance that turned into fiery glares of annoyance within days.

Something that could have been laughed off, or pursued further, instead was taken to extremes.

Enemies were born.

"Internalize Homophobia" Blaise sings softly as she smacked his stomach hard enough to make a point.

"It doesn't matter" Y/n mumbled as her eyes scanned the crowd, trying to find the pink blob within the sea of students.

"To bed! Both of you!"

Hermione's voice cuts through the crowd like a knife, causing the two to look by the entrance of the Great Hall.

They couldn't see her, but there was no doubt she was standing out there yelling at someone. Everyone else seemed to ignore the argument as Blaise sucked his teeth.

"I hope she isn't having her night ruined, it seemed like she was having a blast tonight" he mumbles as his date calls him over for a dance, he kissed Y/n's head again as a goodbye and disappeared into the crowd.

Y/n stared at the entrance for another moment before cursing under her breath and pushing away from the wall she was leaning against.

Slowly she snuck her way past everyone between her and the corridor, she got a few judgmental looks as she stepped on the other's toes to get where she was going.

When she finally stepped out of the event, it was mostly empty in the rest of the castle. Her eyes scanned around the surrounding, and she noticed the back of Hermione's head peaking above the stairs that lead down to the lower floors.

Y/n stood still as she heard the soft sniffles escape the Gryffindor's lips, and her shoulders shake slightly.

What does she do in this situation?

She quietly walked towards her, every step feeling as though a dog had gotten a hold of her pant legs and was pulling back as hard as it can.

As Y/n casually sat down beside her, she noticed her tiara sitting between them. Hermione had seen someone who had sat next to her but didn't care to look.

The silence between them was deafening, but Y/n soon cleared her throat to ask a simple question.

"Are you...okay?" Y/n asks as the brunette's eyes shot up to her, but they quickly fell back to the bottom of the staircase.

"I'm not in the mood to fight Y/n" she mumbles and the girl nods in agreement.

"That's not why I sat down next to you" Y/n replies to which Hermione let out an unconvinced chuckle.

"Sure"

As Hermione wiped away the seemingly endless amount of tears, Y/n sat next to her like a statue carved by Phidias himself, afraid to say or do the wrong thing.

"No one likes when you cry" Y/n blurts out, then immediately cringes at her word choice.

Hermione laughs slightly and looks over at her, letting her eyes flow up and down Y/n's side profile like a gentle stream.

"Is that a very bad comfort line, or a jab?" She asks as a sniffle escapes her, Y/n sighed and rubs rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment.

"The first" she replies to which Hermione hummed.

"You're bad at this"

"I know"

The conversation dies down again as music from the band in the Great Hall played loudly nearby.

Y/n looked over to see Hermione looking back at the floor of the staircase, her eyes filled with disappointment because of how her night is ending.

"Who made you cry?" Y/n asks as the Gryffindor sighed quietly.

"The boys, but mostly Ron" she admits, not wanting to wait until Ginny had come back to their dorm to talk about her feelings.

Ginny would have too many questions, and Y/n doesn't care enough to ask that much.

"He threw a huge fit because I went with Krum instead of him" she explains and Y/n hums in acknowledgment, knowing the rumors that had been spreading about his not-so-secret crush on his female best friend.

"Did you want to go with him?" Y/n asks as she watched Hermione take the pins out of her hair and let the curls fall to her shoulders.

"Yes and no, but just as a friend if we had" she replies and Y/n hummed again, not getting the picture of why she was still crying out here while a buff boy from another wizarding school was probably searching for her like a lost puppy.

"Then there's no reason to cry over it then. If he wants to bitch and whine about you not having feelings for him, then let him" Y/n states as she dusted off her pants and stared back at the ground.

"I care about his feelings, no matter what happens between us," Hermione says to which Y/n nodded in agreement.

"I understand that, but where in your description as a 'friend' does it dictate that you have to hold his hand and explain to him obvious social cues? That's not being a friend, that's being a mother" Y/n grumbles as she leaned her elbows back onto the stair behind her and listened to her spine crack and pop.

Hermione was taken aback by Y/n's harsh critiques about her relationship with Ron, but she was right, surprisingly.

"I know, but he's still one of my best friends" Hermione mumbled as she fiddled with the hairpins in her hand.

"For some reason he blamed you, didn't he? Like it was your fault that you didn't ask him instead, that you haven't fallen madly in love with him yet, and you aren't begging to become the new Mrs.Weasley" Y/n states with annoyance as Hermione began to giggle quietly.

She hit the nail on the head.

"Look" Y/n starts as she leaned back up and grasped the tiara into her hands from between them, then closing the space.

When Hermione turned back toward her, they were face to face. Hermione had a small flashback to that night after the library.

"Ron will come around sooner or later, and in the meantime..." she trails off as she placed the crown back onto the Gryffindor's head, grabbing a few hairpins from Hermione hand as well.

"Go back and have some more fun at the party, there's no need to end this night on a sour note" Y/n whispered as she made sure the crown was secured into her brown locks.

Hermione watched her intently as she felt Y/n's breath hit different parts of her face as she checked each side multiple times.

"I bet you Krum is looking everywhere for you" Y/n hums as she finally caught Hermione's eyes again. They stared at one another for a moment before Y/n began to grin.

"See? Sometimes I can be nice" Y/n whispered as she stood up and grabbed the heels that Hermione had kicked off in anger.

"I never said you weren't nice" Hermione stated as Y/n bent down in front of her and helped slip her shoes again.

"That is true, we never are technically mean to one another," Y/n says as she slid onto the first heel, her other hand holding the back of Hermione's calf ever so gently.

The Gryffindor had regretted that day in the central hall, where she just stood there after the childish peck. Y/n had begun apologizing profusely, and before Hermione could get a word in, she left.

She should have chased after Y/n and told her that it was all right, that she has been making her question herself...that she had liked how her lips felt on hers.

Instead, Hermione stood there dumbfounded and chose to ignore Y/n. Afraid of what her parents and friends would say, even though she knew deep down that they wouldn't care.

She has pretended to hate her for the last year and a half, and Hermione was honestly tired of it.

"There you go, Granger"

She blinked back out of her memories and watched as Y/n stood up and held her hands out for her to take.

Hermione smiled softly as she took them and was pulled into a standing position, where she towered over her due to behind two steps above.

"I bet you already heard this a bunch tonight, but you look stunning...have a good night Hermione" Y/n whispers as she smiled back, and began walking down the stairs to somewhere in the castle.

She was walking away from her again.

"Why do we hate each other?" Hermione called out as Y/n stepped onto the ground floor, causing her to turn back around with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't remember?" Y/n asks, to which the Gryffindor shook her head in response. A lie.

"No, I don't" Hermione replies as she slowly walked down to the main floor to stand next to Y/n.

"I have missed our little study sessions" she admits as Y/n opened and closed her mouth in utter confusion.

"Seriously? You don't remember?" She finally asks as Hermione stood in front of her on the floor. She shook her head again in response.

"Will you tell me what happened?"

Y/n stared at her in disbelief before sighing to herself, Hermione waited patiently as she found the right words to say.

"Well, it's after one of the library meet-ups. We were walking towards the Gryffindor Common Room when I noticed a small sticky note had found its way under your shoe. So we stopped and I bent down to grab it." Y/n pauses as she did the motion, bending down in front of Hermione and thinking for a second.

"Then as I got back up, we accidentally-"

Hermione went for the strike, kissing her as she stood back up, just like that night. For a moment she thought Y/n was about to push her away, but she felt as if her hands found a perfect spot on either side of her hips.

The Gryffindor's own hands grasped the front of her shirt, as a small gesture to show she wasn't going to back away either.

Unless-

"I knew it!"

The duo broke apart immediately as their eyes shot up to the top of the stairs. There stood Ginny and Blaise. Smiling like idiots.

"Lovers Quarrel! I told you, Ginny, they just needed some alone time" he states proudly as the two girls had faces burning with embarrassment.

"Blaise you better hope to god that I don't run up there and tell your date what you secretly do on Sunday nights" Y/n states and the boy's face goes pale, to which Ginny smirked.

"Got secrets, Blaise? I thought you said you were an open book?" She asks to which the boy cleared his throat, and excused himself back into the party. Ginny just laughed and decided to follow after him to pester about this newfound info.

"Have fun you two~" Ginny sings out with a snicker as she disappeared as well, the girls were quiet for a few moments, but Hermione had a question.

"What does he do on Sunday nights?" She asks as Y/n looked back at her with surprise.

"Oh uh, he sings karaoke to ABBA songs all night. I don't know why he's embarrassed about it, I think his cover of Slipping Through My Fingers is beautiful" Y/n states to which Hermione chuckled in response.

"Sounds like a blast to watch" she replies as Y/n grinned at the memories playing in her mind.

"Maybe I could sneak you in next Sunday?" Y/n asks quietly

Hermione matched her grin but tried to suppress it by looking for a moment.

"I would love that Y/n, perhaps we could meet up again tomorrow as well if you're free that is?" Hermione asks and Y/n felt her face and neck burn at the question.

"Of course, where should we meet?" she asks as the Gryffindor hummed in thought.

"How about the dock house after lunch? Since I have a feeling our friends will be searching for us all over the castle tomorrow with questions" Hermione replied and Y/n chuckled.

"Alright Granger, I'll see you then," she says as they smiled at one another, in a childlike nervousness as they imagined what tomorrow would bring.

As Y/n said goodnight one last time and began walking away, she yelled something over her should.

"You know, maybe being enemies isn't for us?" Y/n says as Hermione watched her stop at the stairs that lead down to the bottom of the moving staircases.

"I agree" She replies as Y/n smiled once more at her, before walking down the stairs.

Just like that, she was gone.

Hermione stood in the hall and felt a wave of relief wash over her as she climbed back towards the party.

She wondered what events were in store for them at midday tomorrow.

So, twelve hours post, here is my first round of thoughts:

I will never recover from all the baby clips. NEVER. RECOVER.

Doria is the classiest, most dignified person in history. That poor woman deserves a medal for what she endured so strongly.

The producers did such a fantastic job of weaving the love-storytelling in with the historical discussions and the present-day narrative. And MAN what a love story. I really thought I had a good sense of them before, but I feel so different now. I see them and their love in a new light. Which, hey, isn't that the exact point of this whole thing? So, mission accomplished. I am completely warmed and enchanted.

I especially feel I understand so much more about who they were before each other. I love how dedicated the producers were to establishing Meghan's pre-Harry personhood and just how much she lost to be with him. And I was so unspeakably moved by Harry's recounting of his relationship to the people of Lesotho and Botswana. How they took him in when he had no place he felt at home. How it fundamentally shifted his development into the man he would be become. Genuinely one of the most beautiful stories in the whole production.

Meghan is better than me because if I had to meet my future in-laws and there in my kitchen was Kate Middleton looking at me the way Kate Middleton looks at people, I would be on the next plane back to America. EXPEDITIOUSLY.

Also um can we take a sec to laugh at how Cambridge stans (esp those in the rota) are taking personal offense to Harry's cheeky but astute observation about his male relatives marrying for convenience rather than love? SO funny. I think he was very obviously talking about his parents, but hey if you wanna be like "This is so clearly about William and Kate" like . . . Ok mama, if the tiara fucking fits!!!!

Meghan is better at communicating the warm, gooey, happy parts of the story, and Harry is FAR better at communicating the serious, difficult, upsetting parts of the story -- the "shocking revelations," if you will. Meg is seemingly still struggling with this incredibly frustrating naivete surrounding their situation, and it does not come across the screen well to me. But that is a discussion for others to have, so that's all I'll say on that.

The Black historians and political commentators they brought on were absolutely critical to nailing that side of the story. Afua Hirsch was my very favorite.

I've already gotten at least one anon asking about my perspective on the addressing of Harry's SS costume. I appreciate the interest, but no. I am the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor. My family and I have been discussing how to internalize and process Harry specifically, as well as people like him, for years now. And it's not something I'm willing to do over the internet with strangers. Sorry, but I hope you can understand.

Mandana's scene was so funny. She was like "Royal expert? You literally just made that up right now 🤨" LMAO

Ashleigh's appearance knocked me BACK omg. I'm so touched to see how they connected all those years ago, and I hope they have found a way to reconnect, away from all that sabotage.

As I posted just before, the way they are juuuuust planting the seeds for the Jason storyline to come . . . literal fucking chills.

I love that they know which photos of them are iconic. When the umbrella shot showed up I was like "Yeah they know that was history right there" 😌

Oh and showing them Meghan's old This or That interview, the producers are SO real for that kjgfhfdgfjgh

Please believe me when I tell you that I am not usually one to be all "Ohhhhh Diana ohhhhh she's looking down on them ohhhh this or that." Lol. But the clip of Archie reaching his little hand to her photo on the wall, and not to her face, which babies are neurologically wired to focus on, but to her hands. Yeah a bitch might just have teared up or whatever 🥲

I thought the whole thing was really well produced. So far, it's not the nuclear war all those panicking lil media experts were predicting. But my sense is that Volume I was very much an introduction to lay the groundwork for whatever we're about to go through in Volume II. And I cannot wait. For the time being, I am so over the moon to be granted this truly moving glimpse into what a beautiful life Harry and Meghan have built for themselves.

A Special Day

Anthony Bridgerton and family Modern AU Rated: G, pure fluff Ficlet <1k words

Summary: Anthony's choice of a lavender shirt causes a stir.

Author's Note: We love this outfit. C'mon, how can you not love this outfit?!? Sometimes Jonny Bailey dresses so well, I have to write a fic about it. This is one of those 💜

“Oh dearest, there you are. Thank goodness you came down. Everyone is waiting outside.” Violet flitted around the foyer, moving to greet her son at the foot of the curving staircase.

“Yes, I am aware,” Anthony nodded. “Apologies for the delay.”

They were surrounded by Bridgertons and the low buzz of everyone speaking at once. Today was important. The annual meeting for Bridgerton House Enterprises hosted at Aubrey Hall. A spring tradition where the family mingled with hundreds of their employees in the flowering gardens of the estate and where Anthony delivered a keynote speech. This year press were in attendance as well, since he would be announcing a global spread into five new international subsidiaries. The day had been planned in meticulous detail. The Bridgertons were to present a united family front as the face of the company. His wife, children and mother would be at his side, as would all of his siblings who had cared to attend.

“My, you look quite smart.” Violet surveyed him top to bottom. He had chosen a neutral linen suit over a turtleneck, tailored to perfection and befitting the garden party atmosphere. But he could hear the passive concern in his mother’s tone.

“What is it?”

“Your shirt.” She leaned in closer. “The lavender really suits you dear, but the dress code… We agreed we would all be in the family color.” She gestured back toward the clump of his relations behind her, outfitted in an array of blue. Benedict in a dark blue linen suit much like his own. Colin in something powder blue and a bit too haute couture but passable. Daphne and Simon were present and his tie matched the cornflower blue shade of her dress. Kate was affixing navy bow ties to their two sons and was herself wrapped in a blue sari. His mother wore a white dress adorned with a print of blue flowers. He would stick out like a sore thumb.

“I know, Mother, but…”

“Anthony.” His wife had spotted him and marched over to join them, her tone much less forgiving. “What are you wearing? Purple? Really? Why did you change? We had your outfit laid out for you this morning!”

He knew he had to tread carefully when Kathani looked at him that way. “My love, I know. There was a last minute wardrobe adjustment.”

“Why?” She glowered. “What did you do?”

As he gawped, somewhat terrified, a third onlooker joined the crowd.

“Well don’t you look lovely!” Benedict beamed at him, reaching out to smooth his lapels. “Uncharacteristic of you to break the rules brother, but it’s about time you tried it! That color is doing wonders for you. The combination shouldn’t work, but it does.” He plucked at the fabric of the turtleneck and Anthony swatted his hand away.

“Thank you,” he growled. “I didn’t know this would be the cause of so much commentary. It’s only a bloody shirt and it’s what I am wearing for the day.”

“Oh but I’m sure we can find you a blue shirt,” Violet fretted.

“Anthony, what is the meaning of this?” Kate hissed.

An assistant called over the heads of his bustling family. “Two minutes, Lord Bridgerton! You’re needed outside.”

“Papa!” A small voice called from the top of the stairs. Everyone quieted and turned to see Charlotte, Anthony’s youngest, perched primly by the bannister. She too had foregone the blue outfit her mother had provided that morning and was instead wearing her favorite princess dress up costume; a polyester explosion of shimmering purple fabrics, topped off with a garish plastic tiara.

A smile broke wide across Anthony’s face and he jogged back up the steps to take her tiny hand and help her down. At four years old and with one hand needed to gather her skirts, her father’s assistance was required to navigate the tall stairs. They slowly descended back to the family, then Anthony straightened his jacket and looked around at them all with a vindicated smirk.

He could see the exasperation in Kate’s eyes as she bent to their daughter. “Charunya, why did you not put on the blue dress I picked for you?”

The girl jutted her chin into the air, a perfect mirror of her mother’s obstinance. “Because Papa said today was special and so I wanted to wear my special dress. It’s my favorite color.”

Kate shot a glance up at her husband who could only shrug in mock defeat. They both knew once their daughter set her mind on something, woe betide any who tried to divert her from it. It was a behavior Anthony had grown quite familiar with during the course of his marriage. With a tight timeline for the day, he had chosen the path of least resistance and let Charlotte dress herself.

“And did your Papa say he would wear purple with you?” Kate asked.

“Yes,” the little girl nodded. “So I would not be alone.”

Kate looked back at her husband with love in her eyes. Violet brought a hand to her mouth and Benedict swaggered away with a grin. Anthony reached down and took Charlotte’s hand again.

“Are you ready for our special day, my princess?”

“Yes, Papa,” she smiled. Then together they walked across the foyer and outside into the waiting crowds, leading a parade of blue-bedecked Bridgertons behind them.

The Promise

Premise: Cassie reflects on impending motherhood.

Book: Open Heart (post series) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine) Rating/Category: Teen. Fluff. Words: 745

A/N: Submission to @choicesholidays Mother's Day; @choiceschallenge-may2023 prompt "family"

When Cassie Valentine was six, she thought her mom was a fairy queen. Bright and sparkly — especially when she wore her tiara — she sprinkled fairy dust over their beautiful home with a single wave of her hand.

At eleven, she thought Olivia Valentine was a superhero who wore beautiful gowns to parties but could karate kick would-be thieves without hesitation.

Cassie remembered exchanging a shocked look with her twin brother Max after the incident. They stared at the man screaming and cursing on the ground and then at their mom. She was calmly talking to the police in flawless Italian, her hair effortlessly styled like a movie star.

“No wonder Dad always tells us not to make Mom angry,” Max whispered in awe.

“Mom must be Wonder Woman in disguise,” Cassie murmured, eyes wide in admiration.

Of course, they never saw their mother break down into tears behind closed doors after their father picked them up from the police station in Rome.

To them, she was a woman who could pack up and move their family from one city to another within weeks. One who bought the best presents and made the small moments fun and full of laughter, whether baking cookies on a rainy day or camping in the backyard with s’mores and ghost stories.

And she always seemed to know what she and Max were feeling before they did. The woman honestly had superpowers.

The siblings might joke about their mom’s scary intuition or how often she tried to set them up with eligible candidates when they were both single. But in the end, they also knew how lucky they were.

Their social circle was shiny on the outside but hid a sordid interior where infidelity and broken marriages were common. However, their parents had never wavered in their love for each other and their family.

Cassie thought their example was why she and Max never settled for less than true love. But did that automatically translate to parenthood?

Max was already a wonderful father to Noah and now Isabelle. But would she?

Cassie reflected on motherhood while she and Ethan waited for the final ultrasound before the twins’ arrival.

“You seem lost in another world,” Ethan said, his concern breaking through her reverie.

“Do you think I would make a good mom?” Cassie asked, apprehensive despite her best efforts to control the nerves.

“Sure.”

“That’s it?” She crunched her face in annoyance. “Not exactly a ringing endorsement, babe.”

He shrugged, and Cassie wanted to hit him.

“What do you want me to say?” he sighed. “I don’t exactly have the best experience with mine to answer your question with any uncertainty.”

He twisted in his seat to face her and clasped her hand, his thumb stroking the soft skin in an absent gesture.

“I do know this with all certainty,” he said, his blue eyes gravely serious. “Whenever we have doubts, we just need to look at those around us that we admire and learn from their example. My dad, your parents. Your mom. We’re not alone, are we?”

Cassie pursed her lips as she contemplated his words. And then she laughed as a thought occurred to her.

“Who are you, and what have you done with Dr. Ethan Ramsey?” she teased. “The austere and demanding attending I met when I first arrived at Edenbrook would’ve never uttered something so profoundly emotional.”

Ethan rolled his eyes.

“He wouldn’t have done that either,” she giggled.

“He fell in love with a smart-mouthed intern who asked for private lessons and refused to take no for an answer!”

Cassie kissed his cheek sweetly. “What can I say? I learned perseverance from my mom. She’s the best and who I hope to become when I grow up.”

“Which will be when, exactly?” he shot back, one eyebrow quirked.

Cassie burst into laughter at his disgruntled tone and clutched her pregnant belly, her body shaking. She was still laughing when the ultrasound technician called her name a few minutes later.

“Ignore her,” Ethan muttered when the technician looked at him askance.

Later, Cassie was back at her desk, but her mind wasn’t on work. She stared at the latest ultrasound printout and rubbed one hand over her belly.

“I will make mistakes,” she said to her unborn children. “But I promise I’ll always love you, no matter what.”

It was the same promise her mom had made to her and Max as kids. And it was enough.

☾ ° › THE STRONGEST OF ALL WARRIORS ARE THESE TWO — TIME AND PATIENCE.

It's September 2029, not every fire has been put out, but it is clear that the world has reached a new era of peace. To celebrate this hard-earned peace the leaders of the worlds have traveled all the way to Berlin. While the whole world has changed, certain things have remained exactly the same: it's the same compositions for waltzing, it's the same old pattern a gala follows, it's the same air of opulence that surrounds the glimmering dresses and jewels. History never stops repeating itself, and how long it takes before the smiles fall off the faces of leaders, is only a matter of time.

☾ ° › GRUDGES ARE FOR THOSE WHO INSIST THEY ARE OWED SOMETHING; FORGIVENESS, HOWEVER, IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUBSTANCIAL ENOUGH TO MOVE ON.

This celebration is for those who did not give up. This celebration is for those who had the strength to see something good waiting in the future. This celebration is for those who never failed to believe in the good of humanity. This celebration is for those who were willing to bury the hatchet. Peace is not accomplished by chance, it will not simply come into existence — and it most certainly will not survive the test of time if no one is willing to tend to it.

☾ ° › GEOGRAPHY HAS MADE US NEIGHBOURS, HISTORY HAS MADE US FRIENDS ,ECONOMICS HAS MADE US PARTNERS, AND NECESSITY HAS MADE US ALLIES.

Event: International Day of Peace Celebration Date: 21st of September, 2029 Dresscode: White tie, tiaras Location: Charlottenburg palace, Berlin, Germany

ooc details can be found under the cut

this event will commence on the 14th of march and ends on the 31st of march !

Coronation Round-Up

With the announcement of Charles’s coronation emblem and the recent “100 Days Till Coronation” social media post, I decided to compile all of the rumors and theories about Charles’s coronation for your entertainment.

None of these have been verified. All of these are allegedly and for entertainment purposes only. I do not subscribe to nor endorse any of these.

I’ll update this list with any new ones I’ve learned from now till May.

Camilla will be crowned Queen, not Princess Consort. (This has been around since 2005 when Charles was trying to get public support for his marriage to Camilla. Obviously, it was confirmed in February 2022.)

Charles will abdicate. (2017)

Charles and Meghan had an affair during the Sussex engagement, which will be exposed before Charles’s coronation, causing a public crisis that will cause him to abdicate.

Charles will remove Lili from the Line of Succession and bury it in the press surrounding his coronation because she was born under false pretense, i.e. not “of the body”.

Charles and Camilla had a son together who was born in 1965 and adopted out. The BRF is aware of this child, including Harry, who told Meghan, who is using knowledge of this love child to blackmail the BRF and who will leak or publish the details, causing Charles to abdicate before the coronation.

Charles will be crowned King Philip. (Busted)

Royal christening for Lili in Britain around Charles’s coronation as part of reunion PR.

Camilla to become embroiled in a scandal concerning her son, Tom PB, before the coronation that results in her children being excluded from the events.

Charles’s coronation scheduled for June 2, 2023, on the anniversary of The Queen’s coronation. (Busted)

Charles to abdicate monarchy before his coronation due to health issues related to his heart.

Middleton family to be invited to Charles’s coronation and given prominent placement in audience.

William’s investiture as POW to take place as part of Charles’s coronation ceremony.

Charles to allow Archie and Lili to keep Prince/Princess but no HRHs as part of coronation honors.

Charles’s coronation on June 3, 2023, at Westminster Abbey. (Busted)

Charles’s coronation will see a dress code of morning suits and long dresses, with robes and tiaras for working royals only.

William to have a scaled-down investiture, likely just a church service of some kind in Wales with just family and Welsh charities, no international guests and nowhere close to the scale of Charles’s investiture.

Kate will be pregnant at Charles’s coronation.

Harry’s public downfall/exile to be cemented at Charles’s coronation. Either worse placement than at the Jubilee’s service of thanksgiving or he will be “candled” in the public broadcast.

Meghan to copy/mimic Queen Elizabeth’s coronation dress for Charles’s coronation.

Charles to organize his coronation service to minimize or exclude Harry and Meghan, or their status/existence are not being considered in the decisions and seating plans.

Meghan will not be invited to the coronation but Harry will be. Harry will refuse to go without Meghan and demand an invitation for her. Neither will attend the coronation.

Charles to establish Duchess of Edinburgh as title for the sovereign’s daughters and retire the Princess Royal title to be Anne’s in perpetuity. Announcement made as part of coronation honors.

Charlotte to receive Duchess of Edinburgh at Charles’s coronation.

Harry and Meghan will be intentionally not invited to the coronation. Decision will be by Charles.

Sussex divorce announcement to overshadow Charles’s coronation. Announcement to drop in the run up to the event.

Charles will tie Meghan’s invitation to the coronation to seeing and spending time with Archie and Lili; no kids, no Meghan.

Charles to abdicate in March 2023. Coronation on May 6th will see William anointed instead.

UK government to intervene with Harry and the BRF over his memoir and force uninvite to the coronation.

Meghan to publicly file for divorce citing irreconcilable differences if she does not get invited to the coronation. Expect an Amber Heard-like press conference.

No role for Harry at Charles’s coronation. (This is from Roya Nikkah who has been wrong before in the past with some of her royal scoops.)

Harry won’t attend Charles’s coronation because there won’t be a role for him and/or he was tipped off about poor seating placement.

Harry and Meghan invited to the coronation but Meghan refuses to go on grounds of her treatment at The Queen’s funeral (exclusion, being largely ignored, being blocked from the public broadcast by candle placement) and is forcing Harry to choose “me or them.” He will choose her and not attend.

Only the Waleses will be in robes and cornets for Charles’s coronation.

Harry to have public meltdown or tantrum in response to criticism of his attendance at the coronation or sidelined status during coronation events (including where his assigned seat is for the service).

Charles to offer a deal for Harry and Meghan. Miss the coronation and they can attend Trooping instead, with carriages and priority spots on the balcony for themselves and the children.

Tax issues for Harry and Meghan (similar to Wesley Snipes) because they didn’t set up the Archewell companies correctly, misappropriated donations and other funding, and didn’t declare their income. Details to come out in March 2023 and overshadow Charles’s coronation, resulting in un-invites.

Meghan’s use of a surrogate, and Harry’s knowledge of and participation in the scheme, to be made public in March 2023 and also implicate Charles, who will be forced to abdicate before his coronation to save the monarchy.

Meghan not invited to the coronation but will attempt to crash it by traveling with Harry to London for the event.

Harry’s attendance at and participation in coronation events, including the ceremony, is contingent on a public apology to the whole royal family and a public recanting of lies told in Oprah, Netflix, and Spare.

Harry will refuse to attend the coronation and instead be a commentator for U.S. network television because he needs the money.

Edward to get Duke of Edinburgh as part of Charles’s coronation honors.

Kate to wear the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara for Charles’s coronation.

Kate’s dress for Charles’s coronation to be a McQueen rewear.

Andrew to be excluded from all coronation events.

Security camera footage of Meghan mistreating Charlotte to be leaked or posted online, resulting in the Sussexes being uninvited from the coronation.

Tiaras and balcony appearance for senior working royals at Charles’s coronation only.

Harry and Meghan to attend coronation, be sidelined like Beatrice and Eugenie - they will be demoted in the order of preference to sit and walk behind the working royals (Waleses, Anne, Wessexes, Kents, and Gloucesters), no tiaras, robes, or big jewelry loans otherwise, Archie and Lili excluded.

Charlotte to wear small tiara at the coronation or a kind of tiara-like headband.

George, Charlotte, and Louis to attend the whole coronation service.

If Louis doesn’t attend the coronation service, then he will attend the Windsor concert on 5/7 instead.

Harry to be brough to Britain in a Bond-like secret agent mission for 48 hours to attend the coronation. No Meghan, Archie, or Lili.

Sussex family to travel to London for the coronation. Meghan to throw big birthday party bash at Frogmore Cottage for Archie on May 6th and demand the whole family attend after Lili’s birthday party was snubbed. No one in the BRF to attend due to coronation priorities.

Meghan to try and overshadow coronation events from Montecito (like a birthday photoshoot for Archie), BRF to clap back with a new heirs photo of Charles, William, and George in regalia.

Meghan to wear Diana cosplay for coronation service.

Harry to attend Charles’s coronation service but will audibly and visibly refuse to support him during the service. Everyone will witness it.

Sussexes won’t attend Charles’s coronation and blame it on security lawsuits.

Harry to host Saturday Night Live on May 6th instead of attending Charles’s coronation.

No new birthday portraits for Charlotte and Louis this year. Instead, we will get coronation portraits of them in regalia a few days later.
