Monterisso Royal Palace

As the Royal SUV passed through the entry gates of the palace grounds, Ellie excitedly bounced in her car seat next to Riley.

“Look mommy, Micaela’s palace!”

“Yes, princess, it’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Princesses Eleanor and Micaela were spending the week together while the search for Lena begins. Riley was looking forward to spending some one on one time with Queen Amalas, as well as, learning more about ‘Lena Rys’.

Unbeknownst to Riley at the time of planning, however, her husband had arranged for her to stay exclusively at the Monterissan palace for the week. Liam wanted his pregnant wife to stay out of the active search and be sheltered at the palace with guards while being away from him physically. He had made the arrangements ahead of time and without her prior consultation; which irritated her.

Riley wanted to take part in the search, but after hearing Liam’s concerns earlier in the morning, she realized that his concerns were justified.

Earlier that morning, inside the royal chambers aboard the royal yacht...

Riley was livid. She didn't want to be forced to stay behind in the Monterissan palace, under any circumstances. Her anger was focused on Liam, because he wasn't willing to come to a compromise with her on this issue.

“Why did you not tell me this before?”

“...because I knew that you would fight me on this. I needed to have the arrangements in place before we entered this country.”

Liam knew his wife. He knew that if she could, she would lead the search party with guns blazing.

“Let Interpol take the lead on this. The sooner we find this woman, the better. I will keep you informed with every detail as it happens. I promise, love.”

Riley glared at Liam and then looked out the window. He was right, but she still felt annoyed that being pregnant meant ‘sitting on the sidelines’ and not being productive.

The royal yacht had anchored, and she watched as Drake and Delaney were stepping into an SUV on the dock.

“Love, remember our wedding night?” Liam interrupted her thoughts and continued.

“One minute we were dancing in the ballroom, and then in the next moment, I was being told you were taken.

I had let my guard down...”

Riley turned to Liam, taking his hands in hers. “Liam, how could you have known that was going to happen? We cannot let the past dictate our future.”

“Yes, but only a fool doesn’t learn from his mistakes. Last night, I dreamt we were dancing, Riley, and I was holding you in my arms. Just like our wedding night. Then, just like that night, Bastien informed me that you were taken. The man I had entrusted with our safety. The man who is now incarcerated for treason.

I woke up in a panic.

The anxiety was back.

I could not breathe.

When I finally realized that you were lying next to me, sleeping peacefully; the relief was palpable. I think I had this dream as a reminder, to not take your safety for granted again. Ever.”

‘In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke, you could lose everything, the truth is you never know.’

“Riley, I know that you are early into the pregnancy, but you need to take care of yourself.” Placing his hand on her baby bump, “and our babies.”

“After that dream, I knew what I had to do. We are not promised a tomorrow, Riley. If something was to happen to you, if I made the wrong decision for your safety, and you were harmed in any way; it would destroy me.”

Riley lovingly cupped Liam’s face and reached up to give him a lingering kiss. “If there was ever anybody meant for me, it’s you.”

Overcome with emotion, she hung her head. “I’m so sorry Liam, I am acting like a child.”

Liam looked down to her face and lifted her chin with his thumb and forefinger. Gazing into her chocolate brown eyes, he gently wiped the tears that were falling on her cheeks.

Kissing her again, “my queen, when this issue is resolved, I think we will go on a vacation. Just you and me, Ellie, and these two little ones.”

“You have my attention, Liam.” Riley smiled, pulling his body close to hers.

“Mommy, Daddy, I am ready.” Ellie announced as she stood beside her nanny at the door.

Liam dropped his forehead to his wife’s forehead and whispered, “stay safe, my queen. I love you.”

“I love you too, my king, so much!”

“Oh, and love....I will take you anywhere you choose.” Liam winked and placed his hand on the small of her back, to guide her towards Ellie.

Riley turned to her daughter, taking her hand, as Liam reached for Ellie’s other hand. They walked together to the dock to the other waiting SUV. The royal guard opened the door for Riley, while Liam walked with Ellie to the other side of the@ SUV.

“Ok, Daddy, I will,” her blue sparkled as she looked up to her father.

After ensuring his daughter was secured in her car seat, Liam kissed Ellie’s forehead. “Take good care of your mommy, princess.”

After closing the door, Liam sighed as he watched his family drive off towards the Capital. He then turned to walk towards the other SUV to join Drake and Delaney.

***

The driver slowed to a stop; the security detail of the Monterissian palace moved into position surrounding the SUV carrying Riley and Ellie.

Amalas was waiting outside the palace doors, as the royal guard stepped up to open the door for Riley, as Ellie and her nanny followed.

***

Royal Monterisso Hotel

Walking into the opulent hotel lobby, Drake and Delaney were shown to the concierge desk for the check-in while Liam was ushered to a secure meeting room by the Interpol operatives.

“Your Majesty,” Officer Alex Cossoy, along with the detectives bowed.

“Gentlemen, ladies,” Liam answered in response.

Leo and Olivia were already seated at the conference table, when Drake also entered and sat down.

“Let’s get started.” Officer Cossoy began with a briefing on the current

situation and confirmed that the search party had narrowed the search area down to a five mile radius.

“A five mile radius from what point?” Leo asked, sitting forward to view the map of the area that was laid out on the table.

“That would be here,” the detective pointed to the map. “Five miles north of the city center, according to the last reported location,” the detective replied pointing to the map. On the screen the detective typed in the coordinates that they had received earlier from the local authorities.

Leo pointed to the harbor on the map. “Can you zoom in, here?”

“Yes, sir.” The detective moved a curser over the map, and a magnified

image appeared. Liam pointed to a large boat docked at the pier.

“Get the team down there now.”

***

Monterisso Royal Palace

In the garden, Ellie and Micaela and a bevy of stuffed animals sat at the table at their afternoon garden tea party.

Amalas went all out for the girls’ party, having the kitchens prepare finger sandwiches, petit fours with iced tea.

Both girls were wearing frilly party dresses with white knee high socks and Mary Jane shoes.

Ellie and Mikaela were giggling as they played with each other's hair, and then laughing as they ran around the table chasing after the same doll.

Riley and Amalas sat on lounge chairs on the terrace overlooking the gardens.

Amalas patted Riley’s leg comfortingly.

“How have you been feeling with the pregnancy?”

Riley smiled, “It’s going well so far. I’ve been a little emotional lately though.”

Amalas raised an eyebrow, looking at her friend.

“Oh, is anything in particular bothering you?”

Riley shook her head, “no, it's just these damn hormones.”

“Well, you are having twins. That means everything is doubled.”

Giving Amalas a smirk, “Liam and I are finding out the sex of the babies next week.”

“That's so exciting! Have you and Liam picked out names yet?”

“We started the day we found out we were having twins! Liam is beyond excited! For girls, we were thinking ‘Eliana’ and ‘Elise’. For boys. ‘William’ and ‘Stefan’.”

Riley continued, “Elise and Stefan were the names of my parents.”

“Oh, my goodness, those names are perfect,” Amalas smiled.

***

The team of operatives, dressed in black tactical gear were all armed with automatic weapons and bullet proof vests, and they were also equipped with GPS tracking devices.

However, Lena continued to evade the authorities.

Frustrated, Officer Cossoy kicked a storage container, sending its contents pouring onto the deck of the boat.

“Take it easy, Officer, Lena isn't in there.” Olivia cheekily called out to the annoyed Interpol officer.

“Damn it, I should have known this was another false lead!”

Olivia, who was walking with Leo behind the officer, overheard the comment. “What do you mean?”

“Well, intelligence reports suggested that the palace would be the most likely target area. I should have followed my gut.”

“Officer Cossoy,” as Olivia began to speak, he interrupted, “Alex, please call me Alex.”

“Alex, what is your gut telling you?”

“Duchess Olivia, I am positive that she has a connection in the royal guard in Monterisso through Bastien Lykel.”

As Liam overheard the words of the Interpol officer, the anxiety he felt last night returned. He needed to find Riley and get her and Ellie out of Monterisso now!

What would have chagando if Daella had been married to Rodrik's heir instead? So Naerys and Aemma are Rodrik's granddaughter instead of daughters

Jon and Daella would be interesting. Viserys would’ve married Gael for starters, I could see Daemon and either a Lyseni or Tyroshi for a wife. Aemma and Naerys would be ten compared to their now sixteen (in Gael I)

If we proceed as canon then Jon would be dead and Daella too. Aemma would become Lady of the Eyrie much to Jaehaerys delight because that’s been bothering him and Naerys might actually be betrothed to Laenor if not then her and Tyland’s relationship still happens but it’s for Aemma’s benefit.

Daemon kind of wants to fuck her which would be super uncomfortable for me to write but as it goes to show with Rhaenyra he would still offer despite being married.

Anyway, moral of the story. Lady of Eyrie Aemma Arryn.

Sherlolly Appreciation Week, Day 5: Movie Star AU

Not in love with this title, but it is what it is. And I’m a few min late getting this in for day 5, but hey that’s ok. 🤷‍♀️ this one is a touch longer since I worked in more nods to canon, so I’ll add a read more. Hope you guys like it!

That’s a Wrap (👈 AO3)

“Are you ok?”

Sherlock’s eyes lifted from his phone and into the mirror to meet Molly’s gaze, fixed intensely upon him even as she continued carefully arranging his curls. Sherlock opened his lips, but she quickly cut in.

“Don’t just say you are. I can tell you’re not. It’s just… you look sad, when you think he can’t see you.”

Sherlock glanced at his agent, John, who was at the other end of the room chatting with the director and completely unaware.

“You can see me.”

“I don’t count.”

That gave him pause. What did she mean by that?

“Anyway, it’s an intense role, y’know? You really put your all into a character, and that can take a toll after a while. This one especially,” Molly continued, twisting some of the tendrils around her fingers. “So if there’s anything I can do, anything you need, anything at all… you can have me.”

Sherlock lifted a brow and she backpedaled a bit at her own wording.

“No, I mean- what I mean is, if there’s anything you need…” Molly shook her head, words trailing off.

“What could I need from you?” Sherlock questioned softly

“I dunno. Nothing.” She shrugged, grabbing the hairspray and spritzing a few times before stepping back. “It’s ok, you can just say thank you, actually.”

Sherlock’s eyes narrowed. “Thank you.”

“Sherlock, you ready?” John called out. “They’re waiting for you on set.”

Still reeling and trying to process what his hairdresser had just said, Sherlock stood from the chair, hesitating for a breath.

“It’s fine, go ahead,” Molly prompted with a tight smile before turning away to start cleaning up the station.

Not quite knowing what else to say or do, Sherlock walked out of hair and makeup, ready to shoot the very last scene… ready to finally be done with this film.

Sherlock sat there in the darkness, fingers tapping on the arm of the chair. The aftershoot party was long over and now he was left with the emptiness of his own thoughts. That was always the very worst time. It was when reality came flooding back. All his worries, all his fears, all his insecurities, all his demons reminding him that they were still there and he’d never shake them. At least, that was how it felt.

And so he went to the only place that felt safe.

The door to the hair and makeup trailer swung open, but Sherlock didn’t move, didn’t even look over. He already knew who it was.

“You were wrong, you know.”

He heard Molly gasp softly at the sound of his voice, then she switched on a light.

“Sherlock?”

“You do count. You’ve always counted and I’ve always trusted you. You’ve always been there for me. And I don’t just mean with all this.” He flicked a comb across the hairdressing station. “It’s more than that… you’re more than that. You’ve been with me on countless sets now, and the truth is that I don’t know what I’d do without you. Not the work you do. Just you.”

He turned to see her standing there a few feet away, so perfectly Molly, and that alone was comforting. Just the sight of her in those ratty jeans she loved and a tank top covered with a loose plaid shirt. She’d clearly come back to pick up her coat and purse from inside the trailer, but now she set them down again.

“But you were right,” Sherlock added, a little catch in his voice. “I’m not ok.”

Of course he wasn’t ok, hadn’t been in a long while. But this was the first time he’d admitted it aloud, or even to himself. He’d been a mess even before this film. But playing this wild and unhinged, albeit brilliant character who lied and used drugs and even bloody leapt from building tops certainly hadn’t helped. The vices he was becoming drawn to on and off set scared him more than he’d cared to admit until now.

Molly slowly approached the chair where he sat. “What do you need?”

Sherlock swallowed thickly as she got closer. “I’m a star to the world, that’s how they see me. What if that’s all just a lie? If I wasn’t the man that everyone thinks I am, the man that you think I am, would you still-“

Her hand shot out to cover over his, halting his still tapping fingers as she repeated, “What do you need?”

Sherlock didn’t truly know what to say to this woman who had been his silent and steady rock for years now. He didn’t even really know what to ask for. All he knew was that he needed…

“You.”

There was a breath of silence after he spoke that single word, neither of them moving a muscle. But then Sherlock shifted his hand, closing it around hers and tugging ever so slightly. But it was more than enough.

Everything became a blur after that. In a split second Molly was perched atop his lap in that chair, hands in his hair and lips pressed against his. Sherlock’s hands moved deftly over her, smoothing their way under the plaid shirt and pressing against her back to pull her little body in tighter. Perhaps deep down he’d always wanted to do this. Because every time she’d stood behind this chair and helped transform him into whoever he had to be to entertain the public, she’d always seen the real man, the man behind the wigs or makeup or costumes. She could see him. He’d been the one too blind to see the best thing that had ever come into his life. He wasn’t going to keep making that mistake.

Sherlock cradled her face, finally tugging his lips away from hers. “Come away with me,” he panted.

“What?” Molly looked dazed, and not just because of the rumpled hair and swollen lips he’d just given her. “Away where?”

“After the film promo, I’m taking time off, maybe even for a year. I need to forget about being someone else and remember who I really am.” He caressed her lip with his thumb. “But I don’t want to do that without you.”

“B-but if people see and they realize who I am and it starts to get around, won’t people wonder why-“

“You’re worth more than dozens of the A list celebrities I could be seen with,” Sherlock cut in sternly, knowing exactly where she was going. “I don’t care what anyone says. And if there’s a tabloid mess to be cleaned up, I’ll let John and the rest of the team handle that. None of that is going to stop me. Unless of course… you don’t want to deal with-“

Molly swooped in and swallowed his words, pulling him back into the euphoria that was her mouth and very effectively silencing his brief concern that perhaps she wasn’t willing to take on everything that would be included in a relationship with him.

“Don’t… forget… I can always… disguise you… wherever we go,” Molly offered, kissing her way along his neck and jaw as he held onto her hips for dear life.

“Mm, I knew your talent would continue to be useful.”

“By the way…” Molly gave his neck one more slow kiss before lifting her head to gaze at him. “Where would we be going?”

Sherlock tilted his head in thought, considering all the options that were open to him. Part of him didn’t much care about location. All he really wanted was to be away from prying eyes and schedules and expectations, and to be completely alone with Molly. But then again, perhaps he did have one idea.

“Come to think of it… I’ve always wanted to go to Sweden.”

[TRF] Norma II

• Related to this : The Rust Factory - Norma (<- comics)

• Related to this : The Rust Factory - Norma (<- comics) I had SO much fun doing the vintage style of flash backs and imagination: I would have kicked myself for ignoring this very impactful style for its time.

Audrey pic: Context - Extract from the 2022 RP "It was the story of a corporate that had made a great scientific revolutionary invention! It was called D-Sire, a simple, medicated, fabulous everyday object that people couldn't live without. But during the process of improving the product, which was intended to target wider markets to make more profit, the D-Sire had unfortunately gone awry, causing a great catastrophe unparalleled among mankind. All cities had been wiped off the map, leaving only willless mutant humans and animals. The heroine had to flee her city, survive and fight her way back to the creator of the D-sire, who had abandoned his company and changed his identity. Coal was terrified of this cheap soap opera with its terrible special effects made of modelling clay and the saturated offbeat sound of the black-and-white picture on the small TV screen." A more than obvious reference to the AU Truffula Flu. And a huge reference to @audtreegrace, @miru667 's character. So of course, I don't have all the context since it's a vast AU with lots and lots of details, but I've got enough of a basis for my friends to recognize and that's good enough for me :> Nathan has already confused Audrey Grace with Audrey, the actress from their series HAHA. Alas, the Audrey and Ted of his world won't be born for several years. He didn't find the actress, but he did find a good friend with whom to talk for hours about anything and everything ♥

Norma Bellini pic: Well, Norma pin-up, because why not! In vintage calendar mode, because I love vintage aesthetics. And yes, those are the right dates I went to check on good old calendars haha. At first I wanted to do it in a swimsuit, but then I preferred the picnic. I love picnics.

Too big to fail pic: I had to do it! Of course I had to! The only time I've redone such an iconic portrait was for the first version of Cashtea-ler in the Let It Flow fanzine, in 2022 (I should do a new one with his new head). Nathan Cole (@1940s-onceler | @nalak-bel 's), in black and white in his best soot-colored suit!

Compilation : Just Normaler, to appreciate Normaler. On a more serious note, I like the idea that Nathan was guided throughout his first times by ladies, and not the reverse. I love this not-so-little whining man.

King Liam Appreciation Week Day 5 - Friendships/Relationships/AU

Friendships:

We know that Drake is Liam’s best friend, but I also like (the idea of) his and Hana's friendship. They both have certain pressures upon them, such as having to marry (albeit under different circumstances/conditions); they’re both intelligent, funny, and fiercely loyal.

I also think that he and Leo are best friends, despite the age difference. One of my favourite stories was from ROE when Leo tells the MC that Liam once snuck him a slice of cake after Leo wasn’t allowed any after he almost ruined a duchess’s wedding.

Relationships:

Liam x MC is my no. 1 ship. I love how supportive the are of each other, like Liam can be vulnerable around her (and at least once this is shown in canon in the last chapter of TRR3 when he tells her how much he misses his father), he tried his best to make sure she felt at home in Cordonia, and he always has a romantic surprise up his sleeve. These two are made for each other (in the Liam route at least 😄🙈).

Liam x Olivia is another ship I like, cause I’m a sucker for childhood friends to lovers. Olivia started out as the antagonist, but she truly became a better person. Liam took care of her when her parents died and they’ve been close ever since (minus some stuff Olivia pulled during TRR1, like the forced kiss), and just little things like Liam distracting Drake when Olivia started crying in a flashback when she missed her parents or when Constantine broke her wooden sword and he changed the game to the three of them being in one team.

I love that we had the opportunity to set them up at the end of TRF if the MC chose someone else.

Liam & The Heir - I love how adorably excited Liam is about his wife being pregnant; when he holds his daughter in his arms for the first time, and just any time they interact with each other 🥰

AU:

In an AU I have outlined, Liam and MC are abolishing the monarchy and creating the Republic of Cordonia with a head of state and a president, because they recognise the importance of democracy and how much damage all these ancient rules have done (looking at you, Barthelemy). In this universe, where Liam has to take up an actual job, he becomes a historian. This is inspired by the scene (forgot which book) where he shows the MC around and tells her all those historical facts.

Long story short - Liam is a wonderful and adorable human and I’d marry him irl 😄🙈😁

Chapter 2: I Will Fight for You

Music Inspiration: Fight Song by Rachel Platten

AN1: My submission for @choicesflashfics, Week # 16 Prompt #1. “All I ever wanted is right here in front of me”.

Previous chapter: Old Habits Die Hard

***

Royal Guard Palace Security Offices

Bastien was watching with trepidation as the Interpol agents gathered more physical evidence from the tampered jail cell. The cell door locking mechanism was removed along with the corresponding digital touchpad installed at the entryway to the bank of holding cells. The computer analyst had already electronically uploaded data from the Cordonian computer systems to the Interpol police servers, early this morning, during his interview with Officer Cossoy.

Going over in his mind the questions he was asked by the criminal intelligence officer, he was fairly confident that his answers that he gave were acceptable and not incriminating. The analysis from the confiscated iPhone didn’t have any circumstantial evidence of his involvement in any way.

That he was sure of, after personally reviewing the data.

There shouldn’t be any surprises this afternoon. Right?

He felt prepared for his meeting with King Liam this afternoon. However, he was anxious and reconsidered every detail in his mind of the answers he gave to Interpol.

What conclusions will Interpol discuss with the King?

What will he his reaction to those conclusions?

He woke up that morning feeling hopeful, but now, the guilt he always felt was now consuming him.

***

King Liam’s Study, Cordonian Royal Offices

Liam stood in front of the large bay window in his study, re-living the moment it registered in his mind that Riley was having twins.

“...and this baby is the twin of another baby right next to it, here.”

His smile grew wide thinking about having two more children in his family and what that will look like.

Will they be boys? Girls? Or one of each?

Ellie will have siblings!

Riley was making another dream a reality for him, and he was ecstatic.

When he heard the knock on the door, he redirected his thoughts to focus on the task at hand.

A potential security breach.

Turning at the sound of the guards voice, he regarded Leo as he walked into his study.

Liam greeted his brother, “Leo, hey, thank you for coming to this briefing early.”

“No problem, Li, how was the doctor’s appointment this morning? is everything okay with Riley?”

Moving to stand behind his desk, Liam grinned, “well, I...”, he paused shaking his head and smiling.

Leo tentatively returned the smile to his brother, raising an eyebrow, “what gives?”

Liam couldn’t get the words out fast enough.

“Riley is having twins!”

“Woah! Geez, man...congratulations! Two babies on one shot!

Impressive, little brother!”

“Only you would think of that, Leo!” Liam chuckled.

Leo walked over to his brother pulling him in for a one arm hug.

Laughing, Liam shook his head, “thank you!”

***

Monterisso Royal Offices

Amalas sat back on her office chair, waiting for the Interpol file to upload. She was working with her security forces to identify a person of interest requesting citizenship in Monterisso. Normally, her team would vet all new migrants, however when Interpol contacted her directly about this person, her interest was piqued, and she wanted to investigate further personally.

The analysis of the confiscated iPhone of the escaped prisoner uncovered decrypted information that pointed to a connection in her country. A drone manufacturer here in Monterisso.

Amalas sat back on her chair, reclining back to relieve the tension in her neck.

It was not a surprise that the ‘Spy Queen’ was personally asked by the Director for her expertise.

Amalas had developed drone software, as well, as set up ultramodern drone hardware manufacturing companies in Monterisso.

Interpol had previously acquired several models of surveillance drones and software for worldwide operations from Monterisso.

But the surprise came from Leo Rys; who mentioned that this person of interest had evaded the Cordonian Royal guard, and that King Liam had called Interpol.

The fugitive made a statement at the time of her arrest that she is a Monterrisan resident and was employed as a drone program analyst. In her search to identify this woman, being that they had no evidence of residency, or immigration papers, Amalas had found driver licensing documentation.

Her name is listed as Lena Eleanor Runarsdotti, formally from the country of Vallenheim.

She sat back up checking her phone on her desk that just pinged with a message.

***

King Liam’s Study, Cordonian Royal Offices

Discussing the revelation that Dr. Ramirez gave at Riley’s appointment, Liam conveyed his anger and distrust of the investigation into the death of his mother.

Leo was stunned, to say the least.

“Our father would have known about this pregnancy! My God, Li, is there no end to the fucking bullshit that he was hiding?”

“Why wouldn’t he tell me at some point that? Why would he not let me grieve for my unborn brother or sister? Did he grieve?”

“Maybe she wasn’t pregnant when she died. She was away often from the palace, especially before she passed.”

“Leo, what are you suggesting?” Liam was agitated at his comment.

“Li, something doesn’t add up…there’re missing pieces to this puzzle.”

Liam sighs in frustration, “I have instructed Interpol to analyze and re-open the murder investigation of my mother and now her pregnancy as well.”

That is another reason why I need you here in Cordonia.”

Liam could feel his stress level rising, his jaw clenching, he walked over to his bar cart. Picking up two crystal tumblers and a bottle of scotch, he returned to his desk.

“Anything you need Li, I will stay here for as long as you need me.”

After Liam handed his brother a drink, once again, the royal guard knocked announcing the arrival of the Interpol Director.

***

King’s Royal Chambers, Cordonian Palace

Sitting on the terrace, Riley sipped her orange juice while checking messages on her laptop.

There were several messages concerning Valtoria that she flagged for follow-up with her personal secretary. For the time being, Riley would work remotely with her key duchy council members, at Liam’s insistence.

Liam was determined to have his queen step back from her duties as duchess temporarily in Valtoria; not wanting her to travel long distances without him.

Riley sighed and shook her head.

He was going into ‘protective Daddy mode’, and to help facilitate that, he tasked Olivia with overseeing her duchy along with Lythokis.

Riley chuckled at the memory of Liam’s pleading look of concern as he successfully sold the idea to his wife.

“Excuse me, your majesty.” Mara, Riley’s personal guard, interrupted Riley’s thoughts.

“Duchess Olivia is here requesting an audience.”

“Thank you, Mara, please show her here to the terrace.”

Riley was not surprised that Liam had already arranged for Olivia to meet with her.

Olivia appeared at the doorway, grinning at her longtime friend. “Twin babies! Riley, I am so delighted for you!”

“Yes, it was a shock to say the least!

Thank you for coming to see me. Liv, please come sit.”

***

King Liam’s Study, Cordonian Royal Offices

Interpol Director Ryerson and Criminal Intelligence Officer Cossoy entered Liam’s Study. They both bowed to Liam and then shook Leo’s hand before sitting down at the boardroom table.

After pleasantries were exchanged, Director Ryerson wasted no time in stating their preliminary findings and suggested three plans of action.

“Firstly, to facilitate the installation and implementation of the proposed enhanced security protocols, I would like to imbed Officer Cossoy with your Royal guard.”

“Is there a perceived threat to my Kingdom, Director? A threat that the Royal Guard is not adequately equipped to ensure the protection of the Royal Family?” Liam questioned emphatically.

“Not at this time, your majesty. Your family is secure.”

“We do believe, however, that Bastien Lykel is a compromised asset, placed close to the royal family, during the time of King Constantine’s reign, by a yet undetermined element.

By staying in close proximity to the operations of your Royal guard, we can watch first hand Mr. Lykel.

“Bastien needs to be removed at once, especially now with Queen Riley’s pregnancy,” Leo exclaimed.

“With all due respect, Queen Riley will be safer with the increased presence of Interpol.”

“Does this ‘increased presence’ include added Interpol officers to her personal guard?” Liam responds.

“Yes, your majesty, Officer Cossoy has select, vetted guards to imbed to the Queen’s guard.

Director Ryerson continues, “The former Duke of Karlington, who is currently incarcerated, is also a point of interest here.

We need your approval to seek his extradition, Your Majesty, to our headquarters in Lyon, France.”

Liam at once answers, “whatever supports you need, of course. As well, I will assume you have evidence of Bastien’s complicity.”

The Director continues, “we have reason to believe Mr. Lykel has previously undisclosed information on the death of Queen consort Eleanor Rys and of Jackson Walker, as well.”

Even though Liam asked for a further investigation into his mother’s death, he was stunned at these revelations.

“Lastly, we have identified the true identity of the woman apprehended by the Royal Guard, that was later released by Bastien Lykel.

Her name is Lena Eleanor Rys. She is currently living in Monterisso, formally of Vallenheim. She was the ward of Queen Sigrid Runarsdottir, deceased.”

***

The sun was just setting, when Drake slung into his Ford F-150 truck. He was exhausted.

Tonight’s council meeting was complex. When Liam joined in with the Interpol officers, his world was flipped over with the new revelations.

His mind was still reeling from the intense meeting and the last thing he wanted to do was to go home to a lonely cabin.

Texting Delaney, he let her know that he would be stopping by tonight, hoping he could crash at her place.

When he finally pulled into Delaney’s driveway, he smiled wide when she greeted him at the door.

Upon receiving Drakes’s text, Delaney started to prepare a light, late meal for him, complete with home baked apple pie with ice cream for dessert.

Drake sat back, after his feast, content and relaxed.

“You were hungry!”

“This meal.... was perfect. Thank you...You really know how to spoil a guy!

“You’re welcome baby, anytime!” Delaney winks.

Drake smiles, “Laney, come over here.”

Moving to him, she straddles his lap.

“All I ever wanted is right here in front of me.”

Placing his hands on her hips, Drake doesn’t waste any time, pressing his lips to hers, then deepens the kiss. After a few moments Drake pauses, then cupping her cheeks with his hands. Gazing into her eyes, he confesses,

“Then stay with me tonight.” Delaney whispers.

Can't Fight the Moonlight – A Sherlolly Fic

Summary: Written for Sherlolly Screamfest 2023

Prompt fill for thescriptorium: “as a werewolf i can personally talk to dogs and boyohboy does ur little pug have some tea to spill…”

Werewolf!Molly dog sits for Sherlock and finds out exactly where she stands in his life.

Rating: T

Word Count: 8,623

A/N: This fic is set in the same Being Human (UK) fusion AU as Monster In The Moonlight, where Molly Hooper is a werewolf and Sally Donovan is a vampire (although this is only mentioned in this fic). While this can be read as a stand-alone fic, I still recommend reading Monster In The Moonlight for some background information.

This fic is also set after ASiB but before TRF.

I’ve been using the listing photos of the house that the production used for Molly’s kitchen in TFP as reference for Molly’s house in my fics.

Shoutout to Taylor Swift and Spotify’s daylist for helping me finish editing this fic!

Hope y’all enjoy this one! Happy Halloween!

If I owned Sherlock and Molly Hooper, then Sherlolly would have been explicitly canon and Mofftiss won’t be able to touch them. All mistakes are mine and are probably due to lack of sleep.

Happy Halloween!!!

Six Sentence Sunday 09.18.22 / Mood Music Monday

In case you were wondering, I’m still around! I know I’ve been slacking on my posting and updating on fics, but life has been coming at me fast lately and still keeps coming. I’m glad I have some ideas bubbling, it’s just not been easy to get them down.

I will say this though, I have been doing the choices prompts, and it’s opening up different pairings, and so far, each of the stories I’ve written for it weren’t things I was planning to do. So here’s to opening up different pairings in my writing. Hope you enjoy these series of one shots, who knows, they might open up to be a new series at a later date who knows!?!?!?

Here’s what I posted recently: Part 2 of my Pretty Woman-like story

And Everything Nice (TRR AU / Liam x Bebe / Liam x F!OC)

Original post 09.18.22 at 2:18PM EST

Mood Music Monday Submission

Their First Loves The Book: Rules of Engagement / TRR Crossover One Shot Pairings: Leo x Madeleine / Liam x Riley Status: Still in the writing process

Song Inspiration: F**K You by Lily Allen

“This isn’t working for me anymore.”’

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me.”

“This was the agreement. This has always been the agreement. Or have you forgotten?”

“I’ve forgotten nothing. But everything is different now.”

“Nothing has changed Leo. You proposed. I accepted. I was supposed to be Queen. From the beginning you and I were to be paired together.“

“Madeleine, everything is different now. I fell in love, I’m going back to meet the cruise in Greece at the next port they stop. I want to be with Katie. I have a chance for true love. I’m going to take it.

“True love is a myth Leo. It’s not what we do here. You grow to love someone. That’s what we do here.”

“It doesn’t have to be like that, people like us can have more. Don’t you want more for yourself?”

“You know what I want Leo? I want to be Queen! I was born and bred for it.”

“Well, it won’t happen with me then. I abdicated the throne to be with her.”

“YOU WHAT! FOR WHAT?!?!?!”

“This is not the life I was meant to live Maddy, in a loveless marriage with you.”

“I AM SUPPOSED TO BE QUEEN!”

“I don’t love you, and you don’t love me Maddy.”

“I love Cordonia with all of my heart.”

“That may be so, but you don’t love me.”

“It’s the same thing Leo.”

“I AM NOT CORDONIA!!!! AND I DON’T WANT TO BE KING!!!!”

The Best Part

The Rotten Apple 🍎 : Chapter 15 The finale The Book: TRH / TRF Pairings: Eleanor x Nico / Eleanor x M!OC / Liam x Riley Status: Still in the Writing Process

Song Inspiration: Best Part by Daniel Caesar feat H.E.R.

She glanced around the outdoor venue. It was a beautiful intimate setup. She knew she personally had nothing to do with the setup, but she could see little hints of her own attention to detail in the decor for the day. That was one thing she got from her. She had been independent and had asked for no help or financial assistance from the crown, for this day; she had made this day her own. Eleanor has always excelled in arts and crafts, and she could tell some of the beautiful little details and arrangements were made by Eleanor herself.

This day was very special to her. Finally her nerves had gotten the best of her. She felt like an intruder, even though she had been invited.

“I shouldn’t have done this. This was a huge mistake. I don’t want to upset her. Not today, when she’s going to be so happy. She deserves that. I don’t want to ruin this for her. I should leave before I’m seen.”

Riley jumped from her seat. A few people around her glanced in her direction, but no one said anything as she wasn’t recognized wearing her veil.

Liberty grabbed her arm. “Mother, you won’t ruin it. Please don’t leave. It means you truly care for her if you stay. It will mean a lot to her if she knows you stayed. It’s a small private event on purpose. And I’m glad you took me up on my offer to be my plus one. Father has no idea?”

“No, we didn’t speak before he left. I suspect he was hurt and angry with me.”

Riley resumed her seat in the corner, taking Liberty’s hand. “What’s going on with me and your Father is not anything for you to worry about.”

“But I do worry Mother. You and father don’t even share a bedroom anymore. Are you getting a divorce?”

“I don’t know. I hope not. I still love your father. And I think he loves me too.”
