𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐋 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑, 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋, 𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓-𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐒. He's careful, treating the other man like he was made of glass, something fragile, precious. He was, Squall argues internally, voice a whisper as he keeps his gaze cast down, flitting along Zack's frame where he remains perched, both keenly hyper aware of the space between & the parts where they make contact. The fabric of his pants is both welcome & frustrating, but they haven't had a chance to truly breathe in peace for a while.
Time moved too fast, missions grew in difficulty, something sinister seemingly brewing away beneath the stretching seams of Shinra in a way that made the Turk flinch, twitch, anxiously grow in his own restless unease as he felt something rising just along the horizon. Something he couldn't quite name, something he knows, pessimistically so, he'd likely have very little power in stopping.
That frustrating feeling of futility, it clings to his bones like tar, tainting everything until he feels so weighed down by his uncertain grief, it's noticeable to those that weren't as close to him as the man below him was.
Fingers curl, splaying softly to cup at the back of Fair's neck, thumb tracing along the side of his throat where he can feel Zack's steady pulse beat away beneath his skin. Strong, living, constant, reassuring that the fool of a man was really here over bleeding out somewhere because his golden heart demanding he take the brunt of a beating. He was so well-meaning, so genuine in his offered care - it'd always stun Squall speechless, always leave him trailing after his heels with worry as he tries to help keep things from escalating.
As he goes to slip his eyes shut tiredly, simply soaking in the moment & all it's shared quiet closeness, hands keep him steady, one moving, lifting, the brush of warm & living hands shifting to cradle at the side of his face. When Zack speaks, Squall reopens his eyes, peering down at the SOLDIER with glacial calm sights, melting along their frigid edges in earned softness, the barest lean into his hand as he scoffs out a light puff of air in a slight laugh. Maybe he was worried the other could do better. Hell he should. He deserved that much, but he reminded himself how little control the other already seemed to have in his life as is, how others often pushed their views on him.
It's calm enough to silence his woes, even if they weren't what sparked his silent pensiveness, the air of mourning that seemed to drape itself along him like a funeral veil. Shedding it for the moment, his eyes garner an old sharpness back to them, burning like frostbite in their wolfish depths as they lock back on bright inhuman sights of mako tinged skies. His tongue peeks between parted lips, wetting daintily along their curved edge before his brows furrow in determination. Leaning in, using his hold on the man's neck to guide him forwards, Squall grants a kiss, languid & lingering, mouthing what he didn't have the courage to say out loud in loving gestures. All expressed in loud caresses that end in him resting his forehead against the dark-haired swordsman's.
Breathless, he takes a moment to soothe his beating heart, gaze searching Zack's own before they thin to match to crescent of his smile.
❝ You got me attached. Made it so I'm going to struggle to find someone else after you. ❞ Maybe harsh, maybe out of place. Realistic as he'd argue. Couples weren't often known to last long. In their line of work, with how different they were . . . he isn't sure if the delicate form of their bond would survive whatever came next. That looming storm on the horizon prickled at his spine, momentarily smoothed away when Zack runs a hand up the curve of his back, dipping beneath the rim of his shirt to explore the now bared skin beneath.
His free hand lifts, curling under Fair's chin, a tender stroke of a finger given as something fond quivers in his tone.
❝ Ever the hero. You somehow won me over. ❞

safe and sound (tiertice)
written for tiertice week day something: confession. yes it's 2 months late shh we'll ignore that
Summary: Tiergan's Tribunal, and the consequences of sacrifice. An AU where Tiergan is arrested instead of Prentice.
@cogaytes @gay-otlc
Read on Ao3
-
Tiergan has been inside the Tribunal Hall before. 
Perhaps never from this seat, no, but he’s certainly snuck into this building to steal classified documents and such before—and he vaguely recalls attending a public Tribunal with his mother, years ago, when she had dreamed of him sitting on one of the crystal thrones across from him. 
Her mistake, really. Tiergan had never been convinced enough by the Lost Cities’ facade to even entertain the idea of becoming a Councillor. But there is still a part of him that feels rather guilty, having fallen so far from the expectations his family had set for him. Here, seated for a Tribunal after sacrificing himself to save his lover…well, it’s a far cry from his childhood dreams. 
“Sir Tiergan,” Councillor Emery begins, and the room falls silent. It isn’t a public Tribunal; Tiergan assumes that the Council are far too afraid of letting their citizens know that these rebels exist to allow them to enter. So Tiergan easily finds Prentice’s dark eyes in the small crowd, looking back at him with a mixture of grief, anger, and—most dangerously—guilt. 
I’m sorry, Tiergan transmits, though he knows the words are meaningless. But he can’t say anything more substantial, not with the possibility of Emery listening to every word. 
Prentice says nothing, only turns away, breaking a part of Tiergan’s soul along with the eye contact. 
Councillor Emery clears his throat once again. “Sir Tiergan,” he repeats, but Tiergan stays stubbornly silent. He knows this game. He hasn’t been asked to speak, and he won’t give them any more information than required. “Is your lawyer present?”
“I am,” a voice says from behind him, and Tiergan raises an eyebrow. He hadn’t requested any lawyer—partly because he had no desire to defend himself, and partly because he’d had hope, once, that this would be a quick process, that the world would be so kind as to allow him his Exile in peace. And yet, now Leto emerges from the shadows, and Tiergan’s eyes widen. 
Leto? he transmits, to no response except for a slight falter in Leto’s stride. 
The Council, too, seem surprised by his presence. The question of a lawyer is usually a mere formality—these Tribunals, rare as they are, are designed to be more of a show of the Council’s power than a genuine assessment of innocence. As such, Leto’s efforts are entirely fruitless—after all, from the moment that Quinlin and Alden had accused him, everyone had known that Tiergan was doomed to Exile. That’s how it always is with Tribunals: they’re simply a pretty show of power from the Council, a way to tell the accused that their lives are out of their control. 
Tiergan meets Leto’s eyes and urges silently for him to leave, but Leto’s gaze instead snaps to a raised platform in front of the thrones, upon which two figures in full Emissary regalia are standing with sharp glares directed toward them. 
Tiergan curses under his breath. The Cognates. He watches as Quinlin mutters something—a scathing comment, no doubt—in Alden’s ear, and Alden squeezes his colleague’s hand tightly. 
Emery clears his throat once again, appearing to be entirely annoyed. “Lord Vacker, Lord Sonden. A pleasure to see you here.” Tiergan almost pities the man, somehow—he has some sympathy for anyone who has to deal with Quinlin and Alden’s ridiculousness. 
Alden and Leto are busy locking themselves in a staring contest, so it’s Quinlin who replies, “A pleasure to be invited, Councillor.” His voice is carefully even, but years of knowing the man make the small wavers in his demeanour obvious to Tiergan. They don’t think they’re going to win, he realises with a jolt. 
…Perhaps no-one really knows how this Tribunal is going to go. 
He scans the crowd once more for Prentice, but his gaze instead lands on Livvy, quietly wiping away a tear in the corner. She’s the only other friend of his in attendance, though she, thankfully, seems far less angry about this whole situation than Prentice is. 
Which can only mean that Prentice has yet to tell her about Tiergan’s sacrifice. 
I’ll miss you, he transmits to her, and her gaze snaps up to his podium. He wants to say more, but it’s likely that Kenric or Emery are monitoring his transmissions, and he can’t afford to incriminate Livvy, too. 
“I don’t see how any more evidence is necessary,” Alden says, and Tiergan realises that he’s been speaking. “Has he not already confessed to collaborating with rebel groups in a direct attempt to undermine the Council?”
The Council is silent for a moment—likely taking a moment to converse between themselves, Tiergan thinks—before Emery turns to him and asks, “Is this true, Sir Tiergan?” 
Out of the corner of his eye, Tiergan sees Leto shaking his head furiously, but he elects to ignore his lawyer’s advice. “Of course,” he replies, and lets a small smirk grow on his lips—the sole benefit of being inevitably sentenced to Exile is that he can say essentially whatever he wants, right now. And he’ll never miss an opportunity to get under Alden’s skin.
Predictably, Alden scowls, and has to be calmed by Quinlin holding his hand once again. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Tiergan wonders if Della is in the crowd—he hopes she and Livvy are able to laugh together about this later, rather than linger separately on the sorrow of his fate. The last thing he wants is for his friends to waste their time grieving—but he knows them well enough to know that they’ll each leave this room believing themselves to be alone. 
As Quinlin and Alden lay out their extensive evidence in front of the Council, Tiergan finds himself once again searching for Prentice in the crowd, and is surprised to find his lover staring back at him. There’s something akin to anger, in his eyes—or perhaps grief, Tiergan isn’t quite sure. 
You’re an idiot, Prentice's voice echoes through his mind.
I’m sorry, Tiergan repeats, though it’s just another one of the many lies he’s told today. 
No, you’re not. 
There are moments when Tiergan wishes that Prentice didn’t know him so well, that they weren’t the kind of devotion that leads to selfish sacrifices and rash mistakes, but here they are. 
Promise me you’ll try to be happy, Tiergan says. If not for me, for Wylie and Cyrah. For the Moonlark. 
Kenric’s head snaps up at that, and Tiergan curses silently as he remembers that his conversations are likely being monitored. 
I don’t think I can be anything but angry right now, Prentice replies, quietly. You know I love you, darling, I do. But this? This isn’t rational, this is your own ridiculous, rash plan to protect me even when I told you I could handle myself!
Before Tiergan can answer, he’s cut off by Emery asking, “Sir Tiergan, your response to these claims?”
“I confess to all of it,” he says, before Leto can step in with some lie of a defense. He can feel his best friend’s glare boring into his head, but he avoids meeting Leto’s eyes—surely, he’ll understand eventually why Tiergan is doing this. This is for the good of the Black Swan, and the Moonlark, and, most importantly: Prentice, Cyrah, and Wylie. 
“Then the matter is settled,” Emery says, after a moment. “Sir Tiergan Alenefar, you are hereby sentenced to a memory break and Exile. For life.”
A chatter rises within the crowd, and Tiergan rolls his eyes. This isn’t a surprise; he’s a rebel, and therefore a seed of a growing threat to the Council’s power. There was only ever one choice for the Council to make for him. 
Two goblin guards move forward and grab Tiergan’s arms, forcing him to stand up from his seat, and Leto watches him leave with nothing less than pure shock. 
I’m sorry, Tiergan tries to mouth, the millionth time that lie has been uttered, and Leto shakes his head. 
It strikes Tiergan, then, that he’s never seen his best friend so utterly hopeless. 
“Keep moving,” one of the guards huffs, and yanks him toward a doorway. “You get one hour before your memory break. Savour it.”
“Am I allowed visitors?” Tiergan asks, and it’s a pointless, desperate ask, the last request of a criminal walking to his doom.  
The two guards share a look for a long moment, and then the one on his left says, “Fine. One visitor. But make it quick.”
They toss him into a cold, dark chamber, complete with dull stone and what looks like mold between the tiles. “Who do you want us to get?” the second guard asks, looming in the doorway. 
It’s as simple an answer as any from today. “I want Prentice Endal.”

In-depth Guide to Find Home for Rent in Bangalore on a Budget
Renting an apartment in Silicon Valley is not a tough chore. From luxurious furnished flats to small homes with basic amenities, there are umpteen choices to find an ideal residence in the IT hub.
However, the demand for rented homes is skyrocketing in the post-pandemic era, especially among people relocating to the city for academic and career prospects.
It is just a matter of choosing the best option that meets your requirements, budget, and amenities in the preferred location. Dive in to find out more on how to find an affordable house for rent in Bangalore here.
Tumblr media
How to Find Rental Properties in Bangalore
Nowadays, you don’t have to rely on acquaintances to find an apartment for rent. There are several resources to find properties and contact landlords: 
Brokers/Agents
There are a few reliable property brokers and agents in the city. Working with a broker can be risky unless you know the person well. You may end up losing a hefty amount in brokerage fees. Please check if the Broker/Agent is RERA registered.
Finding an agent through a friend can be helpful. You may find multiple options and honest advice from the person. There are extra costs involved in the process- brokerage fees, property viewing costs, etc.
Newspaper Classifieds
You may get a few options in the property ads section. Finding an option in your preferred location is a matter of chance. The space is limited, so you won’t get much info before contacting the landlord. 
Facebook Groups
It takes a few seconds to come by a group for rental property on Facebook as long as you know the appropriate search terms- ‘rent flats without brokers in Bangalore’, ‘house for rent in Bangalore’, etc.
With various issues emerging in the limelight, the trustworthiness of social media sources is a matter of consideration. Relying on an unknown person can put tenants in jeopardy.
Property Websites
Today landlords prefer advertising their luxury flats for rent in Bangalore on popular property websites. There are several advertising sites to find a flat and contact the landlord.
Finding a home on through property websites offers certain benefits:
Price calculator tool to compare rates
See photos of the rooms, surrounding areas, etc.
Get complete information
Check amenities and facilities
Browsing through a long list online can be a time-consuming process. It comes with certain downsides. You must accomplish everything alone- visiting the property, completing the paperwork, etc. This can be a problem for novice tenants, students, and working professionals.
Rental Property Management
Rental property management companies work with landlords and tenants to offer a comprehensive solution. A property manager reduces the burden of tenants from day one. From helping the client find the desired property to dispute management with the landlord during the stay, these professionals offer high-end services.
Cheapest is Often Not the Suitable Option
Often people arriving in the city in search of opportunities look for the cheapest apartments for rent in Bangalore. However, rushing through the legal formalities to get the home with the lowest monthly rental is not the ideal choice. If you are new in the city, here are some considerations before choosing a house to rent:
Is the locality safe for residents?
Check the property and amenities on offer
Visit the home/flat for close monitoring before signing the agreement
Read the documents carefully before signing
Is the rent amount inclusive of maintenance costs, brokerage fees, vehicle parking, and other charges?
Are there any hidden costs?
Do you need help finding a rental property in Bangalore?
SANGAU is a reputed rental property management company offering property management services in Bangalore and adjacent areas. We do not charge any brokerage or property viewing fees. For more details, please visit https://sangau.com/index.html.

HOW TO SELL YOUR CAR QUICKLY AND FOR THE MOST MONEY IN NEPAL
INTRODUCTION
Selling a car can be time-consuming, but following these tips can streamline the process and increase your chances of selling your car quickly and at a higher price.
Are you looking to sell your car in Nepal and want to get the best possible price? Selling a car can sometimes be daunting, but with the right approach, you can sell your car quickly and at a desirable price. Introductory post, we will provide valuable tips to help you sell your car quickly and for the most money in Nepal
1. Understanding the Market
Before you start selling your car, it’s essential to have a good understanding of the market in Nepal. Research the demand for your car’s make and model, and consider factors such as your vehicle’s age, condition, and mileage. This knowledge will help you set a realistic price and attract potential buyers.
2. Setting the Right Price
To sell your automobile quickly and fairly, one of the most crucial stages is setting the right asking price. To determine the right price, consider the market value of similar vehicles in your area, the condition of your car, and any additional features or modifications. It’s also a good idea to leave room for negotiation, as buyers often expect to negotiate the price.
3. Preparing Your Car
Most excellent sessions matter, so preparing your car morale is crucial. Start by thoroughly cleaning both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
To give your automobile the most excellent possible appearance, take care of any small problems, such as scratches or dents, and consider hiring a professional detailing service. Gather all the necessary documents, including the vehicle’s registration papers, service history, and any warranties that may be tranvehiclerable to the new owner.
4. Advertising and Promotion
You need to advertise and promote your car effectively to attract potential buyers. Take high-quality photos of your car from different angles and create a compelling description highlighting its key features and selling points.
To reach a wider audience, utilize online platforms, such as popular classified websites, social media groups, and automotive forums. Additionally, consider placing traditional advertisements in local newspapers or magazines.
5. Meeting Potential Buyers
When potential buyers show interest in your car, arrange meetings in safe and public locations. Be prepared to answer any questions about the vehicle, whether it is vehicle or maintenance.
Allow them to inspect the car thoroughly and offer a test drive if they seem genuinely interested. Be honest and transparent about the condition of the car to build trust with potential buyers.
6. Negotiating the Deal
Negotiating the price can be a delicate process. Start with a slightly higher asking price to leave room for negotiation. Be open to reasonable offers and consider any trade-ins or financing options that potential buyers may suggest. However, it’s essential to set your bottom line and not accept a price significantly lower than what you are willing to sell for.
7. Completing the Sale
Once you have agreed on a price with a buyer, it’s time to complete the sale. Ensure you have all the necessary paperwork, including a bill of sale, transfer of ownership forms, and any other legal documents required in Nepal.

Understanding a Dublin Snag List: What’s in It and How to Use It
Are you planning to build or buy a newly built house in Dublin? If so, don’t let your excitement cause you to forget or overlook the importance of a snag list.
Buying or building a new house is one huge financial expense. So, when this grand project begins, it’s crucial to have a firm grasp on the essential steps that guarantee a successful and satisfying outcome. One such step is getting a Dublin snag list—a powerful tool that unveils hidden defects and ensures your property meets the highest standards.
But what exactly is a snagging or snag list? How do you use it? In this blog post, we’ll answer those questions and more, so you’ll know how to use the list to your advantage and be confident that your property is free from defects and up to standard.
What Is a Dublin Snag List?
A snag list is a comprehensive checklist or document that outlines any defects, imperfections, and unfinished work issues found in a newly constructed property in Dublin. Contrary to popular belief, a snag list can also be prepared for renovated houses or buildings.
It’s usually created by a professional snagging company that meticulously inspects every aspect of the house, from electrical installations to paintwork. The snag list is a crucial tool for homebuyers and builders to ensure that the property meets the desired standards of quality.
Simply put, a snag list highlights any areas that require attention before finalising the purchase or signing off on the construction project. Its purpose is to ensure the property is safe, functional, and up to standards before the buyer moves in.
Why Is a Snag List Necessary for New Build Homes in Dublin?
In recent years, the construction boom in Dublin has brought about numerous newly built houses across the city. However, this rapid growth has also given rise to concerns about the quality and workmanship of these properties. Many houses have been constructed hastily, leading to a higher likelihood of hidden defects, unfinished work, and non-compliance with building regulations.
Even the media has taken stock of this issue. They have published several reports on the alarming number of houses in Dublin that were built haphazardly. Data indicate that shortcuts were taken during the construction process. This includes subpar materials, inadequate workmanship, or non-adherence to building codes.
Without a snag list, many new build homebuyers uncovered the issues only after the sale was completed, which led to frustrations and financial burdens. One of the biggest challenges that these buyers faced was the difficulty of getting builders to address these post-sale issues. While they are legally obliged to rectify the snags, some developers and builders were reluctant to take responsibility for the problems when the sale was finalised. As they were less willing to rectify the snags, repairs were either delayed or never done.
Given the quality issues hounding the construction industry in Dublin, a snag list is undoubtedly a crucial tool in mitigating the risks of getting a defective and non-compliant new build house. By identifying and documenting any issues with the property before the sale is completed, you can avoid disputes with builders and ensure that your investment meets the required standards. It’s an essential step in the home-buying process that can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.
Tumblr media
What Items Are Included in a Dublin Snag List?
A snag list, also called a snagging report, typically includes a detailed list of defects or issues found in a property, along with their location and severity. These issues can be classified into three categories:
Cosmetic defects, such as paintwork, tiling, or flooring issues.
Functional issues, such as plumbing, electrical, or heating problems.
Safety concerns, such as loose bannisters, faulty locks, or uneven floors.
Here’s an example of items you’ll see on a snagging report:
Electrical Installations:
Master bedroom: Loose electrical outlet cover
Living room: Light switch not functioning properly
Kitchen: Missing cover on electrical junction box
Plumbing and Sanitary Fixtures:
Bathroom 1: Water leakage from shower faucet
Bathroom 2: Toilet not securely fastened to the floor
Utility room: Slow drainage in the sink
Flooring and Tiling:
Entryway: Loose floor tile near the front door
Bedroom 2: Uneven flooring in the corner
Kitchen: Missing grout between tiles near the stove
Paintwork and Finishes:
Dining room: Patchy paint on the wall
Master bathroom: Uneven paint finish on the ceiling
Staircase: Paint drip marks on the handrail
Doors, Windows, and Fittings:
Bedroom 3: Door not closing properly
Living room: Window handle missing
Bathroom 1: Loose towel rack
Exterior Areas:
Front porch: Cracked step
Backyard: Insufficient drainage, resulting in pooling water
Garage: Damaged weatherstripping on the overhead door
Nowadays, snagging reports include photographs or videos of the issues identified to provide a clear understanding of the problem.
What Are the Most Common Snags in New Build Dublin Homes?
When it comes to newly built houses in Dublin, the usual defects or issues found during snagging surveys include:
Finishing and Decoration
Patchy or uneven paintwork on walls, ceilings, or woodwork.
Misaligned or poorly fitted skirting boards, architraves, or cornices.

We learned yesterday that the Fulton County, Georgia special grand jury roundly rejected the lies of election fraud perpetrated by Donald Trump and his enablers in their effort to hold onto power. “We find by a unanimous vote that no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election," the jury asserted in one of several portions of their report released on Thursday.
We also learned that a majority of the jury believes that “one or more witnesses testifying before it” may have committed perjury. Their recommendation: District Attorney Fani Willis should “seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling.”
That sounds like good news, progress even, leaving us to wonder what DA Willis meant when she said her decision was imminent. Add to that the announcements this week that Special Counsel Jack Smith had filed subpoenas for former VP Mike Pence and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Yet after years and years of yearning from those of us who believe that no one should be above the law and that justice delayed is justice denied, the failure to see any indictment for Individual #1—aka the lead insurrectionist, aka Mar-a-Lago’s classified documents robber, aka chief propagandist of the Big Lie of election fraud (to name a few)—has become a source of growing exhaustion and intensified expectation that this will all lead to more delay and more unrequited optimism. O Merrick Garland, wherefore art thou?
With that in mind, I thought it useful to reflect on the fantasizing Mike Pence who somehow imagines that one day he could be President of the United States. You remember this man, the unctuous VP, the servile one, he of the adoring gaze. This was the man who stood by Trump’s side, praising him again and again for his “broad shoulders” and “broad-shouldered leadership.” He did it so often (New York magazine counted 17 times in 2016 and 2017) he had to deny he was fixated on his leader’s masculinity.
That was only one of many exaggerated expressions by Pence of Trump’s special qualities. Even after Trump exploited the pandemic and the struggle to acquire ventilators, masks and other resources to pit governors against governors and prioritize Republicans, Pence served up this laughable claim at the Republican convention in August 2020: “President Trump marshaled the full resources of our federal government from the outset. He directed us to forge a seamless partnership with governors across America in both political parties.”
In that same acceptance speech, Pence also asserted, “The hard truth is...you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America. Under President Trump, we will stand with those who stand on the Thin Blue Line.” That was before the deadly insurrection and Capitol attack on January 6, when over 140 police officers were injured—only to be abandoned by Trump who sided with that day’s “patriots.”
And even after that violent day when Pence did his duty and certified the election— even after his life was endangered by an angry mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence” because the man he served incited this ugly threat—the former vice president has refused to serve his country and the Constitution that he professes to love by testifying about what he saw and what he knows.
In the months that followed January 6, 2021, Pence focused on blaming the media for its desire to “demean the character and intentions” of Trump supporters. “I know the media wants to distract from the Biden administration’s failed agenda by focusing on one day in January,” Pence told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
And when, two years later, he is called by Special Counsel Jack Smith to testify before the grand jury investigating that day? He complains about “Biden’s DOJ subpoena” and plans to argue a novel notion—that he’s immune from testifying as a result of the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause that protects legislators because he was presiding in the Senate when counting the electoral vote. In other words, slow down the wheels, gum up the works, avoid responsibility.
I urge you to pause and consider: Say your boss incited an angry mob to chant for your murder and your response, then and now, is to protect him from justice. What kind of person would you be?
I get it. He dreams of being president. God forbid he angers the cultist base. God forbid he testifies under oath and tells the truth, providing the necessary witness to finally drive a nail in the Trump coffin. God forbid all those people who were convinced to chant for his hanging might not love him, or worse, won’t vote for him.
Yes, we can spill more ink, spin more pixels and spend more time dissecting the legal calculations, political machinations and character failings that are likely motivating Pence’s failure to act with principle. But at some point, we have to turn from the finer points of logic and law and simply ask:
Have you no self-respect, Mike Pence? Have you no honor, sir? A weary nation beseeches you to do the right thing.

Buying Expensive Alcohol in Moscow
Мы скупкаем крепкие и слабоалкогольныеспиртных напитки, наши специалисты точно оценят по внешнему виду и этикетке тип алкоголя, дату изготовления, марку. Вы получите честную стоимость на дорогой и элитный алкоголь. скупка дорогого алкоголя
The price of alcohol in Moscow is very high. In the Soviet Union, per capita alcohol consumption dropped to 3.9 liters in 1987, but the price of alcohol rose dramatically. This anti-alcohol campaign resulted in hefty price increases and reduced state production and sales. As a result, the country's drinking culture has changed radically. Although Russia is no longer a prohibition state, alcohol consumption is still highly regulated and expensive.
A small group of Russian alcohol experts has long argued that total prohibition of alcoholic beverages is unproductive. Instead, the most promising policy is to educate the public about "civilized" drinking. However, this policy was never widely popular in the former Soviet Union, and its proponents were largely suppressed during the anti-alcohol campaign of the Gorbachev era. In the late 1980s, the government abandoned the anti-alcohol campaign.
In Moscow, the minimum price for vodka has been raised. Until June 13, a pint of local beer cost 250 roubles ($4). Now, a similar glass of wine can cost six or seven dollars in a chic city-center bar. Wines from the Russian and Caucasus regions are considerably cheaper than those from the West. Be careful, though, as counterfeit alcohol is common. Therefore, it's advisable to buy a bottle of wine before you leave the city.
Russians consume 12.5 liters of alcohol per month, and they mostly drink vodka. It is estimated that nearly half of this alcohol is consumed in the black market. This has resulted in a growing black market in Moscow. A public health expert has warned that measures to curb excessive drinking would meet stiff opposition in the parliament. Nevertheless, a recent study by the Ministry of Health says that the new Russian alcohol laws will not affect the consumption of vodka in the city.
The new laws on alcohol are expected to bring significant changes in the short term. The Moscow Center for the Study of Federal and Regional Alcohol Markets will oversee these changes. While the new regulations do not affect the price of hard liquor, they regulate the sale of pharmaceutical alcohol. About 90 percent of pharmaceutical alcohol in Moscow is consumed by people for personal use. It's possible that the price of alcohol in Moscow will drop if the legislation is implemented.
The statistics on alcohol consumption in the Soviet Union leave much to be desired. Insufficient coverage is available for the decades prior to 1985. Some alcohol statistics have been collected in classified documents. In the Soviet Union, the most basic statistics on alcohol use and abuse are not publicly available. But these statistics can be derived from police and health archives. The quality of these data is not satisfactory and there is a need to improve the situation. So, how can one ensure that drinking alcohol in Moscow is a safe and cheap experience?
The prices of imported liquors in Moscow are very high. While tourists should avoid buying expensive alcohol, Moscow offers a wide range of products. For example, samovars can be purchased for up to five liters. While alcoholic drinks may be expensive, the quality is worth the price. In addition to that, there are several souvenirs to take home that will remind them of Moscow. It's also possible to buy a small souvenir - a samovar containing 5 liters of wine or vodka.

ANOTHER MISSION FINISHED - THANKFULLY WITH LITTLE FUSS OR SERIOUS INJURIES. Though it'd been a flawless success, the days wears & tears tracking the damn beast made themselves more then well known in the hours that'd followed, luring with it low hisses of pain as he stubbornly carried his weapon back to the shared space they'd chosen to stay the night at. He always was too proud to allow such help even when he knows it'd make thinks easier.
A stubborn man, but somehow the other's charm glided over like melting butter, smoothing over his bristling edges to allow enough of an opening to latch onto. He's too tired to bother arguing, to put up much of a fight when the aches & pains still echo about his frame like an old bells chime. He cradles the palms of his hands over the worst of them, where he'd been flung back & collided a little too roughly, too harsh for comfort with a rocky edge. Least the gil earned & the safety garnered made it worth it.
Leon scoffs out a sigh, the action blowing at a few stray bangs from his eyes, his brows grumpily knit as he crosses his arms gently atop his chest, leaning back on the motel bed he'd claimed for his own.
The sound of water running greets his ears, the Shield ambling about in the bathroom in surprising silence. Focused on the task at hand - it surprises the Hunter, but he let's that loose train of thought go with little fight as he shuffles down from a seated position to something far more reclined, a drawn out sigh softly puffing into the air above as his eyes drift shut. He isn't entirely sure just how much time passes before he's roused from his half-asleep state, the fragile balance that he's quick to tumble over at the large hand gently clasping over a shoulder to give him a light shake.
He curses, frowning as he cracks his eyes open to greet warm-toned eyes, ones that brim with amusement & something just as stubborn in their determination to drag him to clean up before he passed out post mission. Still, he doesn't bother moving much, staying where he lay for a second before a sigh leaves him. Arms outstretching the swordsman's way, Leon snorts.
❝ Still sore. Help me over or I'm passing out here. ❞
A stupid time to bother with saying it when the other is already pulling him up, carefully maneuvering him so he can guide the gun-blader over with a rumbled laugh & an answer that tells him like hell he's going to let Leon sleep covered in all the days grime. Fair enough. The next few minutes pass by smoothly enough - seated on the toilet's closed lid, he can feel the warmth from the drawn bath water luring him in with the promise of heated steam. With little more fanfare, Leon starts to pry his shirt off, only stuttering with clenched teeth when straining a certain way to lift it's edge over his head incites another flare of pain. He hisses in frustration, stopping. But before he can form another plan, Amicitia moves in to help without being asked, prompting a glance from the gun-blader in thanks.
They couldn't get into the water fast enough. Normally, he'd be insistent on having his space, on waiting even to run his own separate bath. But with how exhausted he is in that moment, the brush in with danger still so fresh on his mind, he finds he craves a gentler touch. One that doesn't strike at him with the intent to harm.
Hands smooth over his bare sides, drawing a pleased rumble from his lips as he leans back against the other's chest, eyes slipping closed in a rare show of trust. They massage lightly along his hips, slipping back up slowly with a featherlight touch that lulls him further into a butter melted state. It's when they suddenly stop that he finds himself huffing, tilting his head back to peer with glacial-toned sights at the Shield in question.
❝ ? ❞

The Treatment of Capt. Syverson- Chapter Three: Therapeutic Activity
Pairing: Captain “Sy” Syverson x OFC (Shane Benton)
Summary: Tensions reach a boiling point during treatment one evening, Shane goes to her own veteran for advice, and takes the first step toward happiness…hoping beyond hope that everything doesn’t blow up in her face.
Masterlist with links to all parts HERE!
Word Count: 2.4k
Warnings: None, yet… ;) But maybe I should be putting language warnings in here…there are some bad words. And not to spoil but…there might be a bit of kissing in this one…
Author’s Note: Guys, I cannot stress to you enough how much I am enjoying telling this story. My goodness. To sort of combine my passions of writing and Henry with something I know so well like therapy (I’m a secretary like Heather, not a therapist), it really just makes me happy. The next chapter is already done, also, it was initially part of this chapter, but it felt too long, so I’ll be posting it separately later. I know, I’m a tease. Have Henry spank me. Lol.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately for me, Henry is not mine, le sigh, and all mention of him, his characters, any characters from his films, or his precious doggy, Kal, are strictly for transformative and recreational use. I neither ask for, nor accept payment for the work I post on Tumblr or AO3. Unbeta’d because this is for fun and escapism.

"This sounds…kinda dumb…" Sy expressed his thoughts on today's warm up with Shane.
"Oh, trust me, it looks even dumber than it sounds. But it works. And it's easier on your knees than doing it the right way. You ready?" he looked at the treadmill, inclined at 3% grade as if it was Everest itself, and looked back at her. "I'll start slow." she raised her eyebrows at him.
"You know just what to say to a girl." he teased as he stepped up, still gingerly, even after eight weeks of therapy. Crutches mercifully jettisoned two weeks ago. He was on his way to being his fighting fit self. With a foot on either track beside the belt, but facing away from the control panel, he waited for her to press start. He took a breath and nodded.
"Test the belt with your bad foot first, and then when you're ready, step down with it. Remember what I've told you about which foot should lead when ascending and descending stairs or hills?"
"Good go to Heaven, Bad go to Hell. So I go up with the good leg and go down with the bad leg."
"A+ student. Okay, when you're ready…any time…Sy, this is an hour session…I have to kick you out in 55 minutes…chop chop." she cajoled him, but he wasn't budging.
"It feels…weird going this way, Shane." If she had been a less kind person, she would have called it whining…she called it nothing, instead.
"I know. Do you need to walk backwards around the clinic a little more to get you used to that sensation?"
"Hell yeah. If that means you're gonna spot me like you did before…felt kinda like dancin'." it was a perfectly legitimate and above-board treatment strategy. They stood back to back, Shane guiding Sy as he practiced walking backward and pushing off with the extensor muscle group, which had been weak. Sy had suggested holding hands, but Shane had compromised with the idea to link arms. Not that she wasn't dying to hold his hand…she was. But that had not been the time. The time was still weeks away. At least.
"I was thinking I'd have you try it with Jordan. He's got a free hour right now. And I can assess your technique. How does that sound, Twinkle Toed Romeo?" Immediately he placed a tentative foot down onto the slow moving belt trying to adjust to the odd sensation of walking up a hill backward.
"Ah, so I now know that all I have to do to get you to do something silly is threaten you with Jordan. Filing that away for a rainy day."
"Come on, you're breakin' my heart, sunshine."
"Aww, don't be ridiculous. I've seen therapists do way more embarrassing things to their patients in the name of treatment."
"Tell me!"
"Sorry, but it's classified information. Protected under the Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act. I could literally get fired for telling you, and there are way cooler things to get fired for!" She'd always said it. And she meant it. She didn't fool around when it came to HIPPA, and there was no way she was gonna lose her job over a stupid slip like that.
"Any examples of things you'd rather get fired for?"
She thought for a few minutes. She used to have a list.
"Hmm, telling off my bitch of a boss," he looked shocked at her use of a bad language word, which he'd never heard from her. She nodded. "Telling off an asshole patient," sleeping with a patient…
"What about sleeping with a patient?" It was late in the day, the only person still there was Heather in the office, and a few therapists still documenting. Nobody in the gym to hear him echo the thoughts in her head. As if he could read them as clearly as a page in a book. Large print. She looked at him in shock.
"Sorry. That was over the line."
"It was…but…"
"But?"
"But…it would not be the least cool reason to get fired."
"It wouldn't?" she shook her head, reluctantly.
"Especially if the patient was…amazing, and kind, and…fucking gorgeous…"
"Young lady, that language today, I have never!" he exclaimed clutching at his broad and beautiful chest.
"I know, but, Sy…this is all hypothetical, and theoretical, and IF I was GOING to get fired how would I CHOOSE for it to happen and WHAT policy I would go against. People don't just CHOOSE to be fired, you know?" she was nervous and rambling.
"You know what people also don't choose? Who they care about, and have feelin's for. Who they--"
"Don't finish that sentence, Sy." She couldn't hear him say the word he was going to say. She couldn't let him start that. Not when there was too much complicating their situation.
She walked off to her treatment room, needing some space.  Some time.
She didn't get that space or time. Sy hobbled in behind her, looking like a man on a mission. And she knew from his war stories that his missions tended to be successful…even the one that got him his walking papers wasn't a total loss.
"Sy, you still had like, five minutes on the tr--"
His big hands found the sweet spot where her neck met her skull. He took a big breath and closed the distance between them, his lips landing light as feathers on hers, her soft skin welcoming the roughness of his beard, though everything else about the kiss was terribly gentle. Almost chaste. Even his beard wasn't so rough that she worried about beard burn…she'd be filing that away for later, as well. Against her willpower and better judgement but in full cooperation with her desires and instincts she began kissing him back, daring to deepen it by opening their mouths a bit, and sliding her hands up the back of his red tee that sported a black skull. All of his shirts were entirely too tight, but you'd never catch her complaining. Even after several months away from active duty and really, most activity at all, his body was still so solid and powerful.
"Ain't that a daisy…Fuck, I've wanted to do that since my first appointment." he chuckled, lightly.
"Sy…"
"Don't. Don't try to argue or tell me you don't feel it. This energy between us. I've seen it in your eyes, Shane. I've felt it when you touch me. It ain't nothin, sunshine. It's a whole lotta somethin'."
"I know, but I need this job. And I WANT this job. Being a therapist is the only thing I've ever wanted to do. Helping people. People like you. Getting them better. It's what I was meant to do. And there's no place like this in the area for me to treat such a diverse clientele and build my skill set. It's not without it's problems, but it's where I'm meant to be."
"I get that. And you should do what you were called to do. You're too good at this not to do it. But Shane, isn't it worth pushing back on some policy if it could mean you get to have some personal happiness, too?"
"I'm worried they'll make me choose." Actually, it was more than that. She was worried about which choice she'd make. Giving up a ten-year career with excellent benefits despite its pitfalls, or giving up someone she could hardly stop thinking about, who made her heart pound when he smiled, and who was rapidly shaping up to be someone she could see herself sharing a life with…making either choice terrified her for very different reasons.
"You shouldn't have to choose. Any boss who'd make you deny yourself what we could have just because of some ridiculous policy…well, they ain't worth the gas that brought 'em to work today. Y'understand me?"
She nodded, smirking at his idiom, "You don't know my boss."
"Well, maybe I oughta GET to know her, if it's like that. I have a way of throwin' my weight around, case ya hadn't noticed." he shot her a smug grin.
"Ya don't say?" she retorted, brimming with sarcasm, literally still wrapped in the evidence of said weight in the form of his muscular arms, warm and thick, encircling her. Even though she felt like her life was up in the air, she had never felt more safe. "I'll try to have a chat with her about it this week. Our schedules rarely align, and usually that's how I like it, but I'll try to move some things around if nothing naturally falls into place."
"I'll be happy to lend my voice or even come talk to her, if need be." he offered, ever the gentleman.
"I appreciate that, Sy, truly. But I think it would be best not to involve you unless it becomes absolutely necessary. We have several more treatments to get through today, though. You didn't finish on the tread mill, do you think you're warmed up enough?"
"Oh, darlin', I'm plenty warm." he grinned down at her sliding a hand down her side.
"Shit, am I gonna have to start being extra careful with what I say to you until this gets sorted?"
"I really doubt it'll matter, Shane. Ain't much you can say I can't make dirty." she could tell by the satisfaction on his face that this was a point of pride for him.
"Lay down and shut up."
"Yes, MA'AM!" he complied with a little too much enthusiasm. She didn't know whether to roll her eyes with amusement or grow increasingly feral…apparently there was room for both as long as she didn't act on the latter. Yet.
~~~~~~~~
She dismissed Sy for the day, instructing him to behave himself until she gave him the all clear, and even then, if she got the green light to see him outside of therapy, sessions would still be about getting him stronger, and not flirting. Or at least mostly. They settled on a 90/10 ratio by the end. She was a weak woman.
She went into the office where one of the senior therapists, Anita, was still charting and snacking on some pretzels.
"How was your day, Nita?" she asked affectionately. Anita had been her mentor since she started with the clinic over ten years ago, and was now part time, flexing toward retirement. She'd miss her.
"Oh, long, Miss Shane. As they tend to be more and more these days. What about yours?"
"Ah…just…nothin'." she shouldn't go into it all until she talked to Susan, their boss.
"Mmm, that's no nothing nothin', that's a something nothin'. Come on, kiddo. Spill." she offered Shane one of her pretzels and kicked out the chair next to her. Again, she was a weak woman. She took a pretzel, sat, and chewed it for a moment, collecting her words.
"What do you think about…starting relationships with patients?" she searched her reaction for any snap judgement or emotion, but only a narrowing of her eyes occurred.
"Is this about that Captain Sexypants who just left?"
"I'm going to kill Heather. I'm not the one who came up with that nickname and I'm not the one who started the whole having feelings conversation. I was going to be miserable until he was discharged, at least."
"Why would you need to make yourself miserable, Shane?"
"Because the policy. About dating patients."
"Technically the policy only says you shouldn't treat family/close friends if you feel you wouldn't be able to maintain objectivity or would be uncomfortable yourself. But that you should disclose any relationship to your supervisor for review."
"See, what's Susan gonna say?"
"Who cares? The policy is the law. And the board of directors governs the policy. Not her. Tell her in an email if you can't work out a time to talk to her before you see him next. Hell, I sent my boss a memo back when I started dating Ron. And look at us now! 20 years strong."
"No way!?" Shane was flabbergasted. She had never known that Anita's husband Ron had once been her patient.
"Oh yes. I wasn't long out of PT school, my first husband had passed away and I needed an income, so I got my PT license and about a year into working here, Ron got put on my schedule. I knew from the eval, he was meant for me. So I typed up a memo, sent it to Morton, our boss at the time, and told Ron I was free on Friday after work."
"Sy just…I don't know, we have this…connection…a spark. I've never felt it with anyone else."
"Are you concerned that seeing him socially would affect how you treat him here?"
"I'm more worried keeping my feelings for him bottled up while I treat him will get so distracting I'll become less effective."
"Well, then, if you get any push back, tell Susan that." Anita said. "Just be forthright. Honest. And speak with integrity. She'll have no cause to refute it, then. And send it tonight."
"Okay. Thanks Anita. You're the best."

Shane spent too long, probably an hour, at least, drafting her email to Susan. It read:
To: Susan DeForrest
From: Shane Benton
Subject: Re: Treatment Policy
Susan,
I wanted to bring to your attention a situation that has presented itself with one of my patients. I have been treating him almost exclusively for several weeks now, apart from my week on PTO, and he has progressed to both of our satisfaction as well as the ordering physician. However, we have come to be quite friendly and he has expressed great interest in seeing me outside of therapy. This is something that I too would like to engage in, and I plan to accept the next time I speak with him.
From my understanding of the policy, the only thing that would prevent me from treating him as a social acquaintance would be my own comfort level and ability to remain objective. I have every confidence that my objectivity regarding his case will remain intact. I am also completely comfortable with it, and if that changes, I will transfer him to another therapist. Furthermore, I have no doubts that I will be able to maintain the highest level of professionalism throughout our treatments.
Thank you, and if you feel we need to discuss any of this further, please let me know.
~Shane Benton, DPT
And send…whew. She needed a big glass of wine tonight.

The Doctor sat patiently in the chair as Warfarin went about the preparations for his weekly Oripathy examination. As a scientist (in a way) himself, knowing that the renowned Dr. Blood was willing to perform these routine examinations was humbling - after all, the advancements in hematology with minimal assistance…Of course, some of that might be thanks to her vampirism, but that had never bothered him.
“Everything is in place,” she announced amidst the Doctor’s contemplations. “You’re ready as well, I assume?”
“Correct...Warfarin, can I ask you a personal question?”
As she walked over to him with a needle, Warfarin nodded. “Of course.”
“I understand that you often drink blood from bags,” he mused, “but without them, you’d have to drink directly from the subject, if I’m not mistaken?”
“You’re not...If you wish to continue this discussion, maybe it should wait until I’ve drawn the necessary sample.”
The Doctor acquiesced. “Sure. Can I ask a different question?”
“Quite inquisitive today, aren’t you?” She sighed as she delicately stuck the needle into his arm. “Usually my patients refuse to converse, doing their best not to look terrified - or, of course, they’re incapacitated, but that’s neither here or there. What else are you wondering?”
“I was looking through the disciplinary documentation, and apparently you’re not allowed to come near me in a non-medical context for some reason...could you tell me anything about that?”
Warfarin took a sharp breath. “Another question that should wait a moment.”
“As you wish.” He watched her as she stared at the needle, a strange look in her eyes. “Hmm.”
“What is it?”
The Doctor smiled. “Nothing that can’t wait.”
“Well then.” She removed the needle and set a clump of absorbent material over the now-leaking hole. “Pressure. A few more minutes, if you don’t mind.”
“Of course.” His hand brushed hers for a moment...It was surprisingly warm, despite the rumors.
When Warfarin returned with a bandage, she seemed nervous to the Doctor. “Compression applied. Normally this would mean you must leave my office immediately, but as this contact is being made of your own volition, it should be okay. Perhaps, to be safe, we should start with the second question, so you understand the risks.”
“Risks?” Light danced behind the Doctor’s eyes. “Warfarin, what do you mean?”
“The restraining order was put in place because...because I want your blood, Doctor.” She took a seat on a rolling stool next to the patient’s chair, her hands pressing into her lap.
He leaned forward. “Is that unusual? You sustain yourself on blood and have devoted yourself to researching its properties as both a Sarkazian scientist and a sort of vampiric sommelier, if I’m not mistaken.”
“Sommeli-” Shock joined the mix of emotions in her glances. “You read those papers?”
“Sarkazians interest me greatly - the variety of body types would suggest you’re not a single race after all, but a coalition of different races classified as such by the fearful and unscientific, and the vampire branch in particular...Besides, your opinion is important to me, both in scientific fields and other things.”
Warfarin averted her eyes. “This must be a result of your amnesia, Doctor, because I don’t believe you could feel this way if you knew all the things I attempted-”
“Let me guess.” The Doctor stepped out of the patient’s chair and perched himself on another stool, closer to the vials of blood, which he moved back to Warfarin as she once again avoided looking at him. “Despite your best efforts to restrain yourself, there’s some chemical combination in my circulatory system that triggers a primal response from you - you have to have a taste, but you know that once that first drop crosses the threshold, there would be nothing to stop you from draining me dry, and yet the sheer force of this urge pushed you to acts that go against Rhodes Island’s ethical policies. The old me, or perhaps those in charge of ensuring his safety, saw this as too great a risk to my health, and so they prohibited all unnecessary contact between us. How much of that is true?”
“...All of it. If only I could isolate the compound that makes you smell so delicious- no, no, I shouldn’t think like that. I know I wouldn’t be able to contain myself.”
He smiled. “You’re doing a good job of it now, aren’t you?”
“I...” She forced herself to look at him. “Doctor, I think you should leave.”
“And I think I should stay. My first question remains - how do you feed from a person directly?”
Warfarin was silent for a moment before she started stamping her feet against the ground. “No, no, no, this isn’t happening, this isn’t happening!”
“Warfarin.” His voice was authoritative but coaxing, as if he were trying to convince a child to relinquish a toy. “Warfarin, it’s okay. Just answer the question for me.”
“I would use my teeth to cut into somewhere on your body, preferably hairless, and lick and suck on the wound as it bleeds. As my name suggests, my saliva is a natural anticoagulant...Doctor, please go. This teasing is too much for me to handle.”
He rolled close enough to grab her hand. “It’s not teasing, Warfarin. I want to know what I’m signing up for.”
“Signing up?” Her eyes widened. “Doctor, have you not been listening?”
“You seem to have forgotten what I can do; if your actions become life-threatening, I am more than capable of removing the danger. I trust you to know both my limits and yours, though.”
Warfarin simply stared. “Why? What gives you such confidence in me?”
“It’s simple, really - I know your work.” He moved closer with each sentence. “I know how much your body will let you drain from me, and it’s not enough to be harmful.” Inches from her face at this point. “And most importantly, I find the idea of you feeding from me so attractive that I can’t force myself away.” Saying that, the Doctor went in for the kill, kissing her square on the lips.
She wasn’t just warm - she was feverishly hot. Rather than reciprocate, Warfarin pushed him away, their stools amplifying the force and leaving them on opposite sides of the office.
“I can’t.” She weakly asserted.
“Can’t or won’t?” He started rolling back towards her. “What’s stopping you? I’m willing, and we’d both enjoy it, so what keeps you wanting to hold back?”
Warfarin shook her head. “If I let the pleasure of feeding become entangled with romance, I’ll end up like the others of my kind - insatiable, relentless predators who commit unspeakable acts to keep their cold hearts feeling some kind of adrenaline rush.”
“You seem pretty warm to me.”
“Stop it! I’m serious!” She crossed her arms. “This is as much for your own good as it is mine.”
The Doctor glanced at the door and back to her. “You can’t simply use me as your sole meal provider?”
“I need to drink three liters of blood in a day to maintain normal functions. That would kill you.”
“What about if you synthesized artificial blood using mine as the model?” He smiled. “I know you could do that with the facilities on base.”
Warfarin sighed. “You are pushing far too much for this to happen for you to be in a healthy state of mind-”
“I’m not.”
“Huh?” She blinked. “You know you’re in an excited state, then?”
The Doctor, his usual uniform hanging from the door, wearing a red T-shirt, couldn’t hide anything from her at this point. “You’ve brought me to this excited state, Warfarin. Now that I’ve had a taste of you, I don’t want to stop.”
“Doctor...Now you understand, then.”
“Just- just one more kiss, please, that’s all I’m asking for.” He grabbed his head in his hands. “Just the one, and I promise, I’ll-”
Warfarin stood from her stool, growing agitated herself. “You feel it now, don’t you? The inexplicable desire, the primal imperative, the cravings. It’s unbearable, isn’t it?”
“Just...just one more...please...”
“I have been fighting the urge for months while you were in that clinic in Chernobog, forcing myself to stay here while your body was just lying there, hooked up to IVs and all sorts of life support.” She wrung her hands. “It would have been so easy, so so easy to just take what I wanted, but I kept my distance for your sake. You’ve kissed me before, you know.”
He shook his head. “Impossible, I’d remember something like this.”
“Through complete loss of identity to the point of having to relearn how to use a computer? I’m not surprised you forgot, considering how much you struggled the first and second times. The third was less coercive, but by then, they had you under lock and key...Now, you come to me, offering yourself on a silver platter, afflicted with the same curse of desire I’ve felt for years, and you expect me to relent so easily?”
“You don’t have to drink my blood, then,” he muttered, “just let me hold you, caress you, feel your heat against my skin...”
Warfarin smiled. “To think this is the reward for my patience. Doctor, I’m offering you one more chance to escape.”
“Escape what?!” The Doctor leapt to his feet, hands balled into fists. “Go back to my daily life a tortured soul? Hmm? Are you so sadistic that you want me to suffer for the harm another, more foolish personality in this body caused you? Could you be so cruel after the oaths you’ve taken? Could you?!”
“I could be...oh, who am I kidding.” She pounced, picking him up and tossing him onto the patient bed and following shortly thereafter.
The delight in his eyes was infectious. “Finally, you’ve come to your senses!”
“Oh, no, Doctor.” There was no mistaking the hungry stare now. “I’ve completely lost them. All thanks to you.”
Considering what happened that afternoon, the fact that the Doctor was able to walk out afterwards with nothing but a dull headache spoke to his resilience; the further reality that he left to carry Warfarin off to his room announced the breakdown that had already begun. This was a star-crossed love if ever there had been one...and somehow, for all the catastrophizing the two of them would do over the next week as they debated coming clean, things turned out alright. Kal’tsit was reluctant to revoke the restraining order, but after the Doctor’s reaction to this news was noticeably more dangerous to his health then the alternative, she assigned him a counselor and relented. Warfarin became his personal assistant, continuing her research from his office, and those who knew her said that she was substantially more satisfied with life. Somehow, they salvaged a happy ending from something so accursed...
This Doctor’s tale is a cautionary one - after all, most Sarkaz vampires are far less noble in their intentions and means.

Book Twenty-Five: Misery
Informal survey... what’s a worse idea at this point, reading Misery while in quarantine, or The Shining? 
Discuss.
Personally, I think The Shining has a slight edge over Misery. And as a writer (go buy Her Dangerous Secret today! Free on Kindle Unlimited!); that’s saying something. 
I’ve never read Misery before, and I’ve never (gasp!) seen the movie. I know, sacrilegious for a woman who claims to be a pretty major Steve fan. I knew the basic story, and Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes is legit terrifying. I really didn’t expect to get anything new out of the book. But I was mistaken.  
Tumblr media
Misery is the story of famous writer Paul Sheldon, who wakes up from a drugged sleep with broken legs, a shattered pelvis, and very few memories of how it happened. He’s being “cared for” by Annie Wilkes, his number one fan. I’d also classify her as his biggest fan, because Annie is a large, intimidating woman. Annie claims she was driving home from Sidewinder (yes, Sidewinder where The Overlook Hotel was located), and saw Paul’s car in a ditch. She “rescued” him and is in the process of nursing him back to health. She’s quasi-qualified to do this, because she used to be a nurse... but people in her care kept mysteriously falling dead. Gulp.
While she’s keeping him drugged on pain pills which she has scattered all over her house like candy (NOT FDA approved, just FYI), she’s also reading his most recent novel, Misery’s Child. She adores all his Misery books; which is ironic since Paul killed Misery Chastain off in Misery’s Child, and was celebrating the fact he could move onto new and interesting characters. 
Let’s take a brief sidebar... Steve puts on his pharmacist/pain specialist hat in this book. In the intro, he says, “There is, of course, no such drug as Novril, but there are several codeine-based drugs similar to it, and unfortunately, hospital pharmacies and medical practice dispensaries are sometimes lax in keeping such drugs under tight lock and close inventory...” 
Codeine? How quaint. Welcome to the age of Purdue pharma, and now keeping oxy samples in a safe. My day job is working in pharmaceuticals... particularly selling a drug that helps with opioid induced constipation (my job is literally shit, people). Anyone who has taken oxy or vicodin for a knee or shoulder surgery knows how real constipation is. So, when Steve delved into that topic, I had to snort. Literally. My post-it note reads, “Snort”. 
Anyway, Annie finishes Misery’s Child, and is NOT happy. So unhappy, she basically holds Paul hostage, and forces him to write another Misery book on a clunky typewriter missing the letter “n”. 
Guys... this is the moment you realize Steve isn’t just a paperback writing hack. He’s got talent. The typewriter is a metaphor for Paul.  It’s a little used up, it’s missing a few keys, but it can still write. And when it does write, Paul claims it sounds like a gunslinger. Boom.  As Paul’s time in captivity wears on, more letters fall off the typewriter (kinda like Paul’s foot and finger... spoiler!); and it’s ultimately the tool used to bring Annie down. This is more than a story about a writer being held hostage by his number one fan, it’s downright literary. It almost makes up for the shit show that was Christine. 
Come to find out, Annie has a history of killing people, and a scrapbook documenting it all. To quote Paul, “...Annie Wilkes was totally off the beam...” She even killed a photographer on his way to The Overlook to get some shots of the charred remains. Paul finds the scrapbook and realizes he’s in sixteen different kinds of trouble. He knows his only hope is police officers finding his car abandoned on the side of the road. Hopefully they’ll ask questions, they’ll remember Annie’s murderous ways, and they’ll come question her. 
That’s exactly what happens! 
And then Annie (literally) mows the cop down with her riding lawnmower. It reminded me so much of the end of Cujo... the suspense was so taut, and they were so close to freedom... but so far away. 
Fucking Annie. 
Paul finishes his newest Misery book, and admits it’s the best thing he’s ever written. Too bad he needs to start it on fire in order to escape Annie. It was fitting when he was shoving the ashes of the burned manuscript down her throat, yelling, “Here’s your book, Annie!” 
Goddamn, that’s some good writing. 
Paul escapes, the cops show up in time, and Annie is dead. Paul lives to write another day. 
You might notice I left out some of the more graphic bits of this book. That happened on purpose. I read those scenes, winced, and had no desire to read them, or think about them again. Once again, the mark of a talented horror writer. Misery was first published in 1987, and it’s still as terrifying as it was then. This is my twenty-fifth book in this reading challenge, and my favorite one so far. The writing was crisp, the metaphors thoughtful, and the terror aplenty. Well done, Steve.
