Best Ways to Kill TSC Fans
I hope the first chapter of TWP doesn't get posted on Tumblr.
I hope none of the Better In Black stories features the couple you want.
TWP probably won't even come out in 2025.
Jessa will probably die off in TWP.
CC will probably kill off Alec in BBoTD.
Ty is going to suffer throughout TWP.
He may finally have to let Livvy go.
Kit and Ty are going to have agonizing miscommunication in TWP.
Kit and Simon from Thule may be alive.
Dru is going to suffer from trauma!
Janus is probably going to meet the rest of the TMI characters.
Ash is going to be on the villain's side at first.

shadowhunters ships as taylor swift songs
the saga of unhinged shadowhunters chronicles posts continues! once again this post is absurdly long so i'm putting it under a cut. let me know your thoughts/other songs that remind you of particular ships cause i'm always down to talk about that!
clace: state of grace 
we fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time
and i never saw you coming, and i’ll never be the same 
so you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong, we learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts
malec: lover 
and there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear, have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
can I go where you go? can we always be this close forever and ever?
my heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue, all's well that ends well to end up with you
sizzy: wildest dreams 
say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe, red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again, even if it's just in your wildest dreams
someday when you leave me, i bet these memories follow you around
say you'll see me again, even if it's just pretend
wessa: peace 
but I'm a fire, and I'll keep your brittle heart warm, if your cascade ocean wave blues come, all these people think love's for show, but I would die for you in secret
and you know that I'd swing with you for the fences, sit with you in the trenches, give you my wild, give you a child, give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
i'd give you my sunshine, give you my best, but the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me
jessa: invisible string 
and isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?
something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire, chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons, one single thread of gold tied me to you
hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
blackstairs: cruel summer 
devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes, what doesn't kill me makes me want you more
said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true, i don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
and I screamed “for whatever it's worth, I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?”
kit x ty: death by a thousand cuts 
saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts, flashbacks waking me up
i look through the windows of this love, even though we boarded them up, chandelier's still flickering here, cause i can't pretend it's ok when it's not
i take the long way home, i ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right, they say, "i don't know"
and what once was ours is no one's now, i see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
my heart, my hips, my body, my love, trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch
quiet my fears with the touch of your hand, paper cut stings from our paper thin plans
gave you too much but it wasn't enough, but i'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts
kierarktina: dancing with our hands tied 
my love had been frozen, deep blue, but you painted me golden
and darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis, people started talking, putting us through our paces, i knew there was no one in the world who could take it
i loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us, so, baby, can we dance, oh, through an avalanche?
i'd kiss you as the lights went out, swaying as the room burned down, i'd hold you as the water rushes in, if i could dance with you again
jordelia: cardigan 
when you are young, they assume you know nothing
and when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said i was your favorite
a friend to all is a friend to none, chase two girls, lose the one
you drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding 
cause I knew you, stepping on the last train, marked me like a bloodstain
but i knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss, i knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs, the smell of smoke would hang around this long, cause i knew everything when i was young
thomastair: treacherous 
and i'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands
and i'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand
your name has echoed through my mind, and i just think you should, think you should know, that nothing safe is worth the drive, and i would follow you, follow you home
ghostwriter: enchanted 
your eyes whispered, "have we met?" 'cross the room your silhouette, starts to make its way to me
i'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home, i'll spend forever wondering if you knew, i was enchanted to meet you
this is me praying that this was the very first page, not where the story line ends
arianna: august 
whispers of "are you sure?" "never have I ever before"
but i can see us lost in the memory, august slipped away into a moment in time, cause it was never mine, and i can see us twisted in bedsheets, august sipped away like a bottle of wine, cause you were never mine
back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough, for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it all
so much for summer love and saying "us" cause you weren't mine to lose
charles/alastair: the story of us 
i used to know my place was the spot next to you, now i’m searching the room for an empty seat, cause lately i don't even know what page you're on
so many things that i wish you knew, so many walls up i can't break through
now i’m standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking, and i’m dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
james/grace: my tears ricochet 
even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me? cause i loved you, i swear i loved you, ’til my dying day
and i can go anywhere I want, anywhere i want, just not home
you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same, cursing my name, wishing i stayed, you turned into your worst fears
fairstairs: run 
give me the keys, i’ll bring the car back around, we shouldn't be in this town, and my so-called friends, they don't know, i’d drive away before i let you go, so give me a reason and don't say no
and run, like you'd run from the law, darling, let's run, run from it all, we can go where our eyes can take us, go where no one else is

i love both Wessa and Jessa and i just wanted to know where you stand on the two dynamics. I love Will and i love Jem for different reasons. Jem for me represents this feather light airy love that shines while Will represents that really deep cacophony of love that is deeper then any witching well.
If i were to describe the two different dynamics via swiftie songs it would be-
Jessa: invisible string, wildest dreams, clean, timeless, snow on the beach, my tears ricochet, the lakes
Wessa: red, maroon, midnight rain, dress, i see you, false god, cruel summer
Where do you stand in all of it? Do you feel like there should be one finite endgame for Tessa? Or do you think its balanced and both should end up with Tessa at certain points? Do you like Jessa post-TID?
I'd just love to know your stance on it all :D xxx
I LOVE ANY VARIATION OF HERONGRAYSTAIRS, LITERALLY.
Wessa 10/10, Jessa 10/10, Heronstairs 10/10, HERONGRAYSTAIRS ++ 10/10
I remember reading TID for the first time and being as confused as Tessa, and I remember being scared she would choose one, and I would have been pissed for the other. I was like, If she chooses Will, I'm pissed because Jem is the real man in this book, and if she chooses Jem, I'll be pissed too because Will deserves the world. IT WAS A MESS IN MY HEAD, and I am extremely happy CC chose this ending. If Tessa had ended up with one, it would have been like all the other boring love triangles we are used to, and the series would not have been as loved as it is right now.
I love your descriptions of both dynamics. For me, Wessa is bantering, it is crazy adventures (they go on vacation in old gothic castles), it is big gestures of love, the shameless PDA couple, but when they are alone, they are laid back, they read books, and I don't know, they just enjoy the company of each other in front of a fireplace. Will is a very loud person, but only when he's surrounded by people, once he's alone with Tessa, he's pretty chill.
Contrary to the Jessa dynamic, which is very calm, beach vacations and on the quiet side, but once they are alone, it's very passionate (ex: the make-out scene in cp1, after the bridge, the proposal, etc.), that's because Jem is a very intense character, even though we don't get his POV, and he's written to be seen through the eyes of Will and Tessa, (something I'm still pissed about, but that's for another post).
So yeah, I'm a Wessa/Jessa stan. The funny thing is that I follow people who cannot stand Will, who find him the star that outshines everyone, just because CC loves her Herondale boys (which he's not, I actually find him very reserved, he's just loud around his people). And I also follow people ( I highly appreciate) who cannot stand Jem, because for them he's everywhere, (which is also wrong, because let's be honest, GotSM was all about Will, they literally go after Kit, because of Will). Modern Jessa, if they don't mention Will at least one time, they die. Some readers also think that Tessa moved too fast, after the death of Will, and was ready to throw it all for Zach and find this out of character and disrespectful of her life with Will. AND I'M LIKE, GUYS WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME READING OF TESSA, SHE LITERALLY FUCKED WILL AFTER SHE LEARNED THAT HER FIANCÉ/BESTIE OF HER OTHER CRUSH DIED. If there is one thing CC is good at, and did not ruin, is the continuity of these 3 characters through the series.
To each their own, I guess, it's not a dictatorship lol, but it's been more than 10 years, and if readers still don't understand that they are a three-package deal, it's their choice. It's Jem, Will and Tessa, they all love each other waaay too much, but it's them. I would have loved to explore more of Will and Jem when they were kids though, because my babies only had 5 years together. Too bad CC is only writing romance stories in her upcoming 10-story novella. I would have loved to have a story of young Jem and Will.
Anyway, I will finish this really cool question with my two fav quotes about these three characters, who have been in my heart since my teenage years.
"Is what difficult?”
“Sharing your husband’s heart so entirely with someone else,” he said. 
“If it were different, it would not be Will’s heart,” Tessa said. “He knows he shares my heart with Jem as well. I would have it no other way—and he would have it no other way with me."
"I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.”

I'm kind of excited for the kickstarter, and i'm sharing my prediction for the 10 couples.
Thomas & Alastair (pretty sure)
Ari & Anna (I don't like the couple but I'm 5O% sure)
Cordelia & James (pretty sure)
Julian & Emma
Clary & Jace
Magnus & Alec
Kieran, Mark & Cristina ( this one is pretty much confirmed)
Isabelle & Simon (I'm 100% sure about this one, because I think she's going to kill them in TWP)
Diana & Gwyn
Will & Tessa (this is mostly me manifesting, but it's probably going to be Helene and Aline)
as for the couples I don't think will have stories (because sadly we can't have everything in life)
Gabriel and Cecy
Sophie & Gideon
Charlotte & Henry
Jesse & Lucie (this one i'm gonna be sad)
Jem & Tessa (because we are going to see them as a couple in TWP)
Matthew + love interest (this is going to be in his novella/story)
Eugenia + love interest
Grace (I mean the potential love interest is in the grave)
Kit & Ty (still not a couple)
Do you have any predictions?
My bet:
Kieran/Mark/Cristina(almost certain because she said "or throuples")
Thomas/Alastair (I agree, a good bet - but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'd die of joy if they appear, though, and this is the main thing I want from the set.)
James/Cordelia (she's been talking about the story of their second runes forever, so it'll be there)
Emma/Julian
Jem/Tessa (I'm sorry, I do not believe in her ability to write anything without worshipping Jem)
Clary/Jace
Magnus/Alec (I'm lowkey really hoping for them. Even if they already have a lot of content. They're iconic okay.)
Simon/Isabelle (I'm hoping for them because I think their fans deserve it. Also, KILL THEM OFF? WHY? PLEASE NO??? DO SHARE MORE ABOUT WHY YOU THINK THIS???)
Helen/Aline (I just have a good feeling about them idk why)
Matthew/his new love interest. (This is mainly manifestation. I know it's going to be the longer novella as well, but I think we need more of him than we're going to get in 150 pages if we want to properly develop his love story. And I need him, soooo)
Things we disagree on:
Will/Tessa (I cannot fathom a world where she ever writes Wessa again unless they just spend the entire time either talking about Jem or worshipping at his altar. I've learned never to hope regarding them.)
Gwyn/Diana (I would die for this story though I would absolutely adore them. I just feel like they are Adult Characters she has disregarded. But I'd LOVE a story with them.)
Ari/Anna (I think Cassie knows no one really likes them and probably won't waste her time with them.)
Things we agree on:
None of the TID ships besides (Wessa for you, Jessa for me) getting stories (Sad, because I really really really want Sophideon)
None of the TWP ships getting stories because a) their stories are yet to be told in TWP, and b) none of the ships are talking to each other rn (Kit/Ty, Dru/Ash)
Lucie and Jesse not getting a story
Eugenia and Grace sadly not getting stories :(
Things I personally deeply want:
Thomas/Alastair
Matthew/Love Interest
Will/Tessa
Diana/Gwyn
Literally anything with Grace
Sophie/Gideon
Ragnor/Catarina (Impossible Difficulty but sorry I ship them)
Magnus/Alec
Simon/Isabelle

OC Recipe Tag Game!
Thanks for tagging me, @sunset-a-story!
Rules: share a recipe your OC would make, either one passed down to them or one they found all by themselves. Bonus if you have an actual recipe to link! Some OCs can't cook to save their lives, but let's talk about the ones who can! :D
Now, I'm not a great cook myself, and I don't know a whole lot of recipes, so this is going to be . . . vague. Here we go!
Releine: Releine can probably cook a bit, what with her mother being at work a lot, her father being a lazy bastard, and having twin younger siblings. I think she would be good at making some kind of hearty stew with plenty of root vegetables.
Jessa: Jessa wouldn't have had much chance to cook for herself, but she finds herself missing foods from her homeland. I imagine that to be some kind of mushroom-based curry, which she'd work hard to figure out herself!
Tenacity: Usually too busy to cook properly, so it'd be something quick and easy. Given she's an avid gardener as a hobby, she's probably an expert at compiling simple but tasty salads.
Yurhagh: More of a baker than a cook, since she has a sweet tooth. Her sweetmoss buns are to die for!
Naenia: Since arriving in the living world, Carina has fed Naenia many things, but she's not a great cook herself. I would say that post-'Naenia, Through Murder', Naenia would spend some time learning how to make her favourites, like curry and pasta. She'd teach you a mean penne al'arrabiata.

I completely abandoned any pretense about reaching my yearly reading goal this December, but I did manage to read one TBR book per month and read 50 of the books I wanted to in 2022, so I’m counting the year as a win. And I got close to the goal, anyway, at least if you include the picture books. (I do not like to include the picture books.) This month also included surprise highlights, surprise disappointments, and not one, but two, history books, which I feel like I never do.
December also, obviously, included a book haul. I got a couple books I asked for for Christmas, a couple books that came from the “give everyone an essay about my tastes” wishlists, and The Atlas Six, which arrived at work too damaged to sell but is still perfectly readable and it had been recommended by a friend…. The highlight is Weirdos of the Universe Unite!, however. I read this at least three times as a kid, via the public library, and I’m pretty sure we can credit my love of urban fantasy to it. That one’s actually part of my birthday haul, but the postal system got in the way. Very excited to (hopefully) reread it in 2023!
The Mummy! - Jane C. Webb Louden A plan to resurrect a mummy somehow upends the monarchy and everyone’s love lives. Melodramatic satire on a grand scale. - Egyptian secondary character
Beneath Another Sky - Norman Davies A world tour of countries subsumed by the colonial West and the ways they’re rebuilding after. - diverse nations and peoples covered - warning: colonial mindsets 1491 - Charles C.

Books and Libraries - Andrew Scrimgeour, ed. A collection of poetry dedicated to the love of books.
The World We Make - N.K. Jemisin The boroughs of New York thought they’d fought their biggest battle, but then a populist politician comes to town. - ensemble cast containing Black, Indigenous, Indian, Latina, and 🏳️‍🌈 protagonists, Black author, #ownvoices for Blackness
Don't Fear the Reaper - Stephen Graham Jones Jade Jennifer Daniels returns to Proofrock the week a serial killer escapes in a blizzard. Out in February. - Blackfoot protagonist, Indigenous secondary characters, Black secondary character, disabled secondary characters, Blackfoot author, #ownvoices for Blackfoot representation - warning: death, gore, animal death

Judgement. Weiser Waite Smith Tarot
Tumblr media
Jesus returns to Earth to judge the living and the dead. The dead rise from their graves, their bodily integrity restored. An angel of the Lord sounds a trumpet in the sky.
While certainly there are religious overtones to the name of the card and its imagery, religious feeling is not necessary to interpret the card. Most religions, from Egyptian to Christian, have had some sort of mechanism for judgment after life, and this merely mimics the idea. It is an accounting of your mistakes and the damage you have done, and a call for you to make amends. Judgment is at number twenty. How many of the world’s artists were terrible people? Oh, so many. The American writer Gertrude Stein was a Vichy France collaborator. French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Céline was a full-on Nazi. Arthur Koestler, the Hungarian-born writer, was a rapist. Legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis beat his wives, Michelangelo da Caravaggio, an Italian painter in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, was a murderer. And on and on. How many of them were able to fully understand and atone for their mistakes? Hardly any. I can think of one, though. Romania’s Emil Cioran, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, fell under the sway of the Nazis when they first rose to power. He got a little too swept up by their rhetoric of strength and power; a little too starry-eyed in regard to the control and order they brought to their country. Many intellectuals and thinkers, from Knut Hamsun to Martin Heidegger, fell under the same spell—the exact people who should have known better. Eventually Cioran was able to see the error in his thinking, and he used that mistake to think through a new round of philosophical thought. He atoned through philosophy. He was one of the few. That is the feeling of Judgment. The need for absolution. The subject on the card here is the return of Jesus Christ to earth to judge the living and the dead. But to believe in that, we’d need to believe in the concept of sin, and we’re beyond that, you and me. Still, the sensation is useful to us: this idea of judging your past wrongs, dealing with the ramifications, and making amends. Probably you don’t have Nazi worship in your past, but there are all sorts of other ways we hurt others and go wrong in our thinking.
Judgment is a difficult task, but it offers a karmic restart. In order to progress as people, or through a project, first we must find the moment that progress has stalled. There we will usually find an error. Instead of dealing with our misjudgments and the moments we were at our worst, we often just pile other things on top of them in the hopes they’ll go away. That time we betrayed a friend and caused her serious harm? We don’t talk about it or think about it; in fact, we don’t really even see that friend anymore.
It is a bit like the Alcoholics Anonymous idea of making amends by going through your past, and expressing ruthless honesty and sincere remorse. This card doesn’t necessarily have to do with your personal life; it could be a problem with your project that you are refusing to acknowledge and for which you are now just trying to compensate. Maybe you stole a part of someone else’s work? Maybe you took credit for something you did not do? Maybe you willfully hurt someone with your portrayal of him or her? Come clean. Make amends. It might not be a comfortable card, but Judgment does offer a new beginning. A life after death. But it’s a card that knows that in order to be reborn, you must die first. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS The New Gods, book by Emil Cioran The Cantos, epic poem by Ezra Pound Don Giovanni, opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Jessa Crispin

Jessa lives au for EverymanHYBRID
I just thought it was silly, uh canon typical violence cause Habit is there and stuff
Jessa didn't know what to do when Jeff broke it off with her, she wasn't sure where to go. The rising fear of Slenderman in her mind ended up leading her to Evan's house, he was the only person she could think of to go see. The more she saw the creature the stranger who she thought Evan started to get, that was until she realized "Evan" wasn't who he said he was all the time. The demon was offering her protection at the cost of watching all her friends die, being at the helm as murders were committed, having to risk her ass for everything to try and keep herself safe while they tried to kill a god.

To all the people who're afraid Jessa will die in TWP
They're not! If you haven't read the Shadowhunter's wiki on TWP, then go read it now! If you have, then you'll know that Lucifer makes his debut and the angels, as always, are not going to interfere. So, don't ask me how, I'm just as clueless, the different generations of Shadowhunters are going to join forces and take down Lucifer, alongside the entirety of Downworld, and Thule!

Memoir
Ma. Michelle Mae Mondares
12-Bookkeeping
April 14, 2006
I was born in April 14, 2006 and my mother named me Maria Michelle Mae Mondares.
When I was a month old, I got sick and my whole skin turns to red. My mother was just crying while holding me because she couldn’t afford to bring me in the hospital due to lack of money. When my grandfather and grandmother arrived at home they saw my mother crying while holding me, they ask what happened and my mother said that I am sick. They look at me with pity in their eyes and they rushed me to the hospital. The doctor said that, thankfully that I was rushed in hospital or else I would die that time because my body wont hold it. I was so thankful back then because through the years I am still alive and thats because god is good. Later on, at my age of 5 to 7 I really love to play sisira ang bulalak-bubukas ang bubulak it is commonly known in philippine as children play. I used to wear colorful dress when I was a kid and I really like to wear high heels because it makes me feel like an adult. I love playing outside of our house in mandaue city and I have a lot of friends in mandaue city, named deo, grace, maxine, love, jessa, and many more. My favorite food back then was fried chicken and I really love to dip it in the ketchup. One day when my grandmonther sell an ice candy I thought that it was for free because im just a kid back then, I called many kids around our neighborhood and gave it to them one by one. I was scolded and I cried because I was clueless and I just want to have many friends back then, but if I think of it right now its kinda funny. One day my father died due to heart attack and I cried so hard because I couldn’t afford to accept right away and in 2017 we moved to lapu-lapu city, I met new people and new friends. In 2018, I started online business on facebook. I sell clothes online and I have many customers and I earned a lot of money around 7,000pesos and I used that money for my school supplies and other personal stuff. In 2019 I graduated in junior high and in 2022 a typhoon occurred again and it hits very hard in Lapu- Lapu city. The typhone called “bagyong odette” that time I cried for mercy because the typhoon that we didnt expect that the typhoon will be so strong. All humanities in Lapu-Lapu city was affected and we lost electricity, some of people lost homes. Every night we used candles for light and a diy fan, I used to go out at night and just staring at the moon because if the night came the road is dark. We suffered at least 2-3months because of “Bagyong odette” we used to go in a lanueva or unitop to use their generator to charge our phones and flashlights. That time it is hard to use cellphones because there is no signal and there’s no electricity, so what I did I read books, paint and play with my sister and cousins. The typhoon occurred when christmas is coming, during christmas all people didnt celebrate I didnt see fireworks. I realized that in december 25, 2022, 98% of people was sad because they lost homes and cant eat properly. After 2-3 months, the electricity came back and we we’re so happy. We start to get back on our feet and start cleaning in our house and I helped my grandmother to clean our house. I learned many lessons when bagyong odette occured because if bagyong odette didn’t occurred we will always focus on our cellphone and we cannot notice what is in our environment, we will not learn how to have a quality time with our families. Bagyong odette thought me that having quality time with your family is the best part of our lives. Right now im currently studying in Asian Learning center, I joined a choir in the school called “glee club” and I practiced singing and playing piano but sadly I quit in the choir because of some reason. But through that I met my new bandmates but we dont have band name for now, I am happy with them and I enjoy every moment if were together. In 2024 I joined a singing contest in our school called “ALCI Global Idol”, I won 1st placer. Also I met a boy, he is so handsome and smarter than me. He asked me if its okay to court me and I said yes! I felt butterflies in my stomach that I haven't experienced in years. Right now Im living the best.

aaaaahhhhh 1) you posting the name of your Dragon Age WIPs made me remember that I forgot to post the name of any of mine damn but 2) because I trust you implicitly and you are the only person who has ever made me question my staunch opinion of NEVER learning anything about Sebastian, I gotta ask about your 'hawkebastian bad ending' AND/OR also...josie...yes, please talk to me about josie....
<3 <3 <3 oh i WILL talk about both
hawkebastian bad ending is also the working document for the potential hawkebastian ‘good’ ending timeline, and also the place I took notes during my most recent DA2 playthrough (Jessalyn Hawke You Are Everything To Me). I won’t try to sell you on Sebastian because I think this might be one of those ‘the version of this character that exists in my head is better than the one in the game’ situations—but the version that exists in my head is incredible. We meet him in act 1 and his family is all dead, foreshadowing how all of Hawke’s family will be dead, and I find him so miserable and tragic and compelling. Playing this save and doing the rivalmance for him also lets Hawke say a bunch of anti-Chantry stuff and I hate the Chantry so it’s a huge win. 
The Jessa/Sebastian dynamic is so so extremely reputation to me. Delicate is their song. Call it what you want is also their song. Also don’t blame me is their song. Basically if it’s on reputation (and I like it) it belongs to them. And I thought it would be so much fun for my aggressive, direct Hawke to fall head over heels at first sight for the Worst Possible Person.
It takes a bold man to shoot a piece of paper out of the Grand Cleric's hand. Jessa's heart gives a tremendous thump.
These two characters are desperate to escape the loneliness vortex inside of themselves and they do that by secretly getting married in the middle of act 2 after killing a bunch of bandits and having life-affirming sex in a barn that they both decide they need to Take Responsibility for, telling literally no one besides the Mother at the provincial Chantry in the middle of the woods around Tantervale, and then talking themselves out of it by the time they return to Kirkwall. This leads to either the ‘bad’ timeline, where Jessa kills Sebastian at the end of the game when he threatens Kirkwall and demands you kill Anders, subsequently going back to do a takeover of Starkhaven and naming herself regent (a weird Loghain parallel which I’m super into?); or the ‘good’ timeline where she kills Anders and they return to Starkhaven to rule together (but she always remembers that he wants her as a weapon before he trusts her as his wife). There’s definitely not a ‘happy’ timeline for them! They are always at their happiest in that barn, alone together.
   "I have this dream," she says, in that odd, soft way of hers. Her fingers card through his hair, more touch in the last day than he's had in the past year. He is hers, utterly, blasphemous as it is.
   Rain is still coming down on the dilapidated barn. The air smells fresh and new, and the wind is cool enough to raise goosebumps all over her skin.
   "Tell me?" he offers—he offers, like it's easy, like he's not starving for any piece of her, like he won't die if she stops touching him.
   "We never came to Kirkwall. We went somewhere else, somewhere kinder. My brother is a knight and my sister is happy and my mother is quietly proud of them." She is so very vulnerable, even with her hand at his neck. So very lost and lonely, a bird with a broken wing, searching for a safe perch.
   He has never—not even when she walked into the Chantry with blood under her nails, proclaiming his justice done—been more drawn to her. He has never felt so hollowed-out with need. He tries to be a virtuous man. He tries to be a good man. But right now, with her hand in his hair and his cheek against her chest, he wants to keep her. And he knows she wants to keep him—Hawke never wants to let anyone go.
   "And you?"
   "Oh, I suppose I marry someone sweet and have a lovely garden." Her nails scratch his scalp gently. A cat would purr. "We choose each other, and we're happy."
   "Jessalyn," he manages, pushing through the comfortable fog she has him in. "Jess-ah." Her grip on his hair tightens.
   "We choose each other," she repeats, more focused, her eyes boring into his. And he knows what she's going to say, as she tilts his face up into hers and catches his mouth in a brief, fierce kiss. And he has never, never wanted anything so badly.
   "I pretend it's you," she whispers, and he cracks clean through.
-------------------------------------
josie.... is actually the document where I write send your letter, i’ll reply (please ignore how that fic has not been updated since 2021, it is not dead I am still tinkering with it!) It’s actually a fic about Josephine witnessing a friendship blossom between Trevelyan and her sister Yvette! I thought Yvette was so much fun during WE&WH, and I love writing about how outsiders see video games happen, so she was a perfect way in to these characters. Josephine deals with her lover becoming best friends with her sister, the dismantling of the Inquisition as an organization, and the realization that she’s done the work and gets to have the happy ending. The first two chapters are finished, but the third is still in the bullet-point outline stage:
Letter from Kirkwall. Josephine has been settling matters in Antiva. Evelyn spent three days in Otswick before leaving, getting a room at the Hanged Man, and becoming a comtesse. Letter from Varric—don’t let her go back to Otswick, Ruffles. She gets all mixed up. Letter from Evelyn—I miss you, I love you, I’ll see you soon.
Trevelyans got kicked out of Orlais for breaking sumptuary laws headcanon here, an ancestor who discovered the right combo of pigment for Mock Imperial Blue and subsequently had to flee the country. Painting connection to Yvette :)
There are whispers in Antiva for months preceding Yvette Montilyet’s inaugural exhibition. They move beyond the circles of artists; three of the merchant princes requested to see the paintings in advance and five others sent spies. All were easily dealt with—the princes regretfully informed by the artist that the work was in no state to be viewed, the spies turned away by a few Friends and one resident assassin with a habit of walking the Montilyet estate at night. There is such a kindness to Evelyn. It is nonexistent when security threats arise.
What is their life together like? The Herald of Andraste resides a very short distance from Antiva City, and is often found in the studio of a novice painter. Yvette has had fine teachers, but she has not made a name for herself yet.
Beyond a brief presentation to the Queen of Antiva, the Herald has attended no formal court events. She has refused to sit for anything more than a sketch, even for the artist most in favor with the Empress of Orlais. 
Her portrait will be the centerpiece of Yvettes first exhibition. 
Josephine hasn’t seen it either.
It is not a portrait of the Herald of Andraste at all. It is Evelyn, only Evelyn, in the solarium. // Dressed simply—quiet blues and greens, no hint of the formal dress from Halamshiral. Her hair is in a cloudy bun, each wisping strand shot through with sunlight. Across her shoulders, poking fun at a chain of office, is a daisy chain. // She faces the viewer, hands resting in her lap. Everything about her posture speaks to regality; her chin is raised and her shoulders are squared. And then there is her expression. // The serious line of her mouth pulls up at one side, lips pressed together. Her eyes are lively, engaged. // Josephine’s breath catches, somewhere around the time she sees the freckles bunched up on Evelyn’s nose. This is—it is— // The opposite of every portrait, every rumor. There is no declaration of divinity or piety, no assertion of power. Not a single overt symbol. It could be any noblewoman. // Josephine reads the title, Lady Trevelyan Discussing Literature. // Yvette has captured the moment before Evelyn laughs. // No, they will not be parting with this painting. Not for anything.
No declarations of love come for Yvette in the wake of the exhibition, which she pouts over for a time. No censure comes from the Chantry for a disrespectful depiction of the Herald of Andraste, which lets Josephine breathe a sigh of relief.
Her mother has the portrait installed in the family gallery. Evelyn takes to haunting there, too.
The Anchor always hurts her, even now. They have separate bedrooms, connected by a door, and it is not uncommon for Evelyn to begin the evening in Josephine’s bed only to vanish in the night. The pain keeps her awake and restless, and Josephine is yet more grateful to Yvette, who is one of the only people capable of distracting Evelyn.
More than once, the two are discovered giggling next to the kitchen hearth by an indulgent cook. 
Basically, They Are In Love and even when things are tough, they work out :)

The Golden Spoon, by Jessa Maxwell
2.0
Bake Week is a low intensity reality tv show hosted by Betsy, but the prologue lets us know that someone will be dead at the end of the third day. That said it is much more a mystery than a thriller even though you go back in time from the beginning to get to that point.
It’s a great concept and the setup was fun, but it failed to pay off, which is significantly more important in mystery/thriller. It compares itself to clue, but nobody had a motive and nobody seemed particularly murderous. There were plenty of motivations that make great motives for murderers, but they didn’t go with them. The second murder doesn’t actually happen in this timeline and felt like such a cop out. But I think knowing that it isn’t a locked-house thriller/murder mystery like Clue will significantly improve the reader’s enjoyment of the book.
Spoiler
Motives that would be better motivation for killing:
-trying to take over a show, assuming you can make the death look like an accident or simply incapacitate her so you keep her brand while not having to fully deal with her. (Melanie or Archie to Betsy)
-trying to keep it a secret that you plan on incapacitating Betsy and take over the show (Melanie or Archie to anyone)
-trying to prevent murder (Gerald to Melanie and Archie)
-revenge for taking over the show or taking too much control when it doesn’t belong to you (Betsy to Archie and Melanie)
-covering up a scheme to prove that you are also an heir of the mansion (Lottie to anyone)
-revenge for killing your mother, after knowing about it and dwelling on it for years (Lottie to Betsy)
-being a murderer and trying to cover it up (Stella or Betsy to anyone)
-accidentally killing someone while bored and then trying to cover it up (Pradyumna to anyone)
And part of the intrigue in murder mysteries is understanding what drives someone to kill and both murders were lack luster in that regard. A temper-tantrum turned deadly because it happened to happen where someone could fall and die? There is no closure there, especially since I doubt Betsy would’ve been arrested for it because 1) she is rich and powerful and 2) who is going to arrest a kid (12) for having the misfortune of having a fight with an adult where falling down would be deadly.
And then I doubt Hannah’s retelling of how she and Stella killed Archie because rich and powerful men don’t have to do anything to silence their victims. Unless he is black and losing favor, society and their fans do it for them. It was such a let down, especially since Archie wasn’t even the one to drug and rape someone (that would’ve been much more satisfying and motivating to be more violent, especially if Stella’s evil boss had been replaced by Archie). It made me go from being intrigued by Hannah, Stella, and Archie to seeing them as poorly constructed plot devices. As you can see, the setup gave me plenty of ideas that would’ve been more interesting than what was delivered.
How can you have blood on the cover and deliver this? This feels like a book that is afraid of being a murder mystery/thriller and so it fails.
