It has been several years since Harry left Holmes Chapel, but the small town still held the title of home. His mum, sister, friends, mentors, first job, first love, first heartbreak, and many other people and memories live within the borders of the large village that is Holmes Chapel. But beyond the people and memories he holds close to his heart, the one person that made him miss his quiet life was Y/N; his best friend.

Y/N had been there from the beginning, witnessing all of the important moments in his life. From losing his first baby tooth, to joining One Direction, she never left his side, and he never left hers. The two were inseparable. But time passes, and life changes, even when we want so desperately to grab onto our current lives, wishing that some things will never change.

When Harry joined One Direction, she was thrilled; proud, and happy to see her best friend fulfilling his dreams. And that feeling didn’t stop when he went on his first tour with the band,even if it meant that he would no longer be working with her at W Mandeville bakery, talking in between customers that walked into the shop for their morning coffee and bread. Or that they could no longer see each other daily, cuddled up together on his mum’s couch as they watched reruns of their favorite television shows after finishing hours of schoolwork. But when you’re sixteen years old, you think that friendships last forever.

Y/N and Harry texted and called on a daily basis, only stopping to rest their eyes, sometimes their fingers still wrapped loosely around phones when their eyes finally shut, sometimes soft breathing being heard on the other line. But within months of One Direction’s fame skyrocketing, the texts became more scattered, the time stamps now hours apart from one another, when before they would be within the same minute. The calls went from everyday, to every other day, until eventually they stopped all together, turning into a monthly call to check on one another. The loss of contact was slow, but never quite complete.

Every break Harry would have from his life as a star sent him back to Holmes Chapel where he would embrace his best friend and tell her about all the cool places he traveled to while on tour, the new people, and the new memories he made. And after he would finally give her every detail of his new life, the one she wasn’t a part of, they would bring snacks up to her room, cuddle up, and watch reruns of their favorite television shows into the late hours of the night, finally falling asleep holding on to each other, scared that moments like this would cease to exist, and they did.

It became a tradition of theirs after the first tour. Harry would get home to his mum’s after being gone for months at a time, drop off his bags, eat a meal with Anne and Gemma, and then head off to Y/N’s mum’s house. He would knock on the door only to be greeted by her mom smiling and telling Harry where Y/N was at, and he would practically run to her location, wrapping her in a tight hug that would knock the air out of her lungs. Then her mom would make them tea, and they would find themselves leaning against the kitchen counter with warm mugs in their hands as he told his stories. Once he was tired, or out of stories to tell, they would put their empty and cold mugs in the sink before grabbing snacks from her kitchen, the snacks she would specifically ask her mum to buy for his return, and head up to her room. They would cuddle up together and gorge on snacks before unintentionally falling asleep, wrappers scattered around them as Y/N’s mum walked in and smiled, pulling out her cell to snap a picture and send it to Anne, writing “Seems like Harry is spending the night :)” before hitting send.

By One Direction’s fourth and final tour, things had changed quite a bit. Y/N now had her own flat, where Harry would stay whenever he came to Holmes Chapel, staying at his mum’s house only for a few days before heading back to her place. She had an education she was satisfied with, and had a stable job at a publishing company, working as a successful editor, one of the youngest the company had. Harry had informed her that One Direction split up before the news hit the headlines over a cup of tea, leaning against the counter as they always did when he was gone for long periods of time. There was a comfortable silence as the pair had sipped their tea, Y/N allowing Harry to gather his thoughts before speaking.

“I dunno love…I reckon I’m upset about the band breaking up...but maybe it’s a good thing for us y’know?...” Harry trailed off when his eyes got misty, earning a small frown from the girl that was next to him as she put her mug down and wrapped her arms around his waist, careful not to knock his cup of tea out of his hands. Harry couldn’t help the smile that spread on his face in that moment despite the emotion that had overcome him. He put the mug down next to her own and wrapped his arms tightly around Y/N, breathing in her scent when he rested his chin on her head. She was home to him, bringing him comfort even when it seemed things weren’t going well.

“Maybe I can start a solo career...release music I want...have m’own tours...have you by my side...traveling the world together.” Harry had said with the small upturn of his lips as he swayed them side to side in the small kitchen.

“You would want that?...For me to travel the world with you?” Y/N’s voice was muffled by the soft fabric of his sweatshirt as her face was pressed against his chest. She swayed side to side with him, the movement coming naturally, not being forced by Harry, but rather being brought on by the comfort he brings her.

“O’course I would want that love...it’s always gonna be you and I against the world…”’ He has said softly, being content with the feeling of the warmth radiating off her body and onto his as they held each other in the comfort of their home, swaying side to side to the sound of raindrops hitting the window. But that was five years ago, and where things had gone wrong is still a mystery.

-*-*-*-

Y/N is at work, editing a book for the company’s newest client when she receives a text from Anne. Being in the sanctuary of her own private office, she picks up the phone and smiles at the text.

Anne: Come over for dinner with Gem and I? xx

Y/N: I’ll see you tonight! :)

She types up a quick reply and hits send before setting her phone to the side and focusing her eyes back on the unedited manuscript in front of her. But her mind seems to have other plans, wandering back to him. It has been five years since Y/N has seen or talked to Harry, and she wishes that the ache in her heart will leave, and as time passes, she no longer feels a sharp pain in her heart, but rather a dull pain; a dull ache of longing, longing to see and speak to her best friend again.

She still speaks to Anne and Gemma, seeing them as part of her family. When the first meeting with them occurred a few months after Harry was gone from Y/N’s life, they had asked her what happened between the two, recalling memories of Harry and Y/N from their younger days. The memories made Y/N’s chest tighten as she let out a small laugh, simply shrugging her shoulders as the conversation moved forward, leaving Y/N with a bitter taste in her mouth as she hid the ache in her heart with a smile. That was five years ago.

-*-*-*-

After her shift Y/N gathers her belongings from her desk, deciding to take the Manuscript with her as she has fallen behind due to her wandering thoughts. She puts everything in a brown satchel, one Harry had given her a few months prior to the departure of their friendship, delicately closing the bag and running her fingers over her initials engraved onto the leather with lettering that resembles that of vines. She smiles at the memory that floods her mind.

“Surprise!” Harry had shouted as he practically ran into the flat that he shared with Y/N when he was home. He dropped his bags by the door, going towards their shared room and bed...the one they shared as “friends.” She jumped slightly at the slam of the door and Harry’s voice shouting through the small flat, having been reading a book in bed moments before the loud interruption. But despite being startled and having her attention diverted from the book at hand, she couldn’t help but grin as she got up from the bed and made her way out of their room as fast as her legs could carry her.

Upon reaching the hallway she crashed into Harry, losing her balance momentarily before feeling her feet float through the air, and she couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled up in her throat as Harry set her on the ground again, bringing her into his arms and holding her as closely as possible.

“Got a small break from the tour...m’glad you have the day off...now I get to see your beautiful face all day.” Harry had teased as he let go of her, his dopey grin adoring his features despite the bag under his eyes from the jet lag, and his hair being tossed up in five different directions from having slept on the flight. Y/N had laughed and hit his chest gently.

“I gotta be pretty for two since you seem to look like a girl who just got dumped.” She teased back as she made her way towards the kitchen. “Ready for tea?” She questioned him as she pulled out their two favorite mugs and set them on the counter, eager to continue their tradition even if he hadn’t been gone as long this time around.

“Mmm…not yet, love, I got ya a gift.” Harry hummed as he walked back to the door, and picked up a rather large gift bag before he headed back to the kitchen where Y/N raised her eyebrow at him.

“This is new...m’afraid I didn’t get you anything though...shoulda warned me about gift giving…” She mumbled as she watched Harry set the bag on the counter.

“Don’t worry ‘bout it, love. It’s a one time thing...plus, I just felt like spoiling ya this one time.” Harry had said, the smile on his face never leaving. “Open it.”

Y/N pulled the large gift bad towards her across the counter, Harry watching her face with admiration and nervousness, hoping she would like the gift. She pulls off the various pieces of tissue paper from the top that were hiding a…

“Harry...it’s gorgeous!” Y/N had said with an excited upturn of her lips as she pulled out a brown leather satchel. She sets it on the counter next to the gift bags and mugs for tea. She runs her fingers over the material, her smile becoming wider as she feels her engraved initials, vines adoring the letters. Harry let’s put a soft breath he was unaware that was trapped in his lungs from nerves, but despite the breath he released, his smile gets even wider.

“‘M so glad you like it Y/N...thought it would be useful for work…plus you’ll seem like even more of a nerd at work, editing your big manuscripts.” Harry teased as he walked over to the stove and turned the kettle on.

“Thank you Harry.” She had said giddily, a smile plastered on her face as she stored the satchel back in the bag before hugging her as tightly as she could, and he embraced her, just as tightly before pulling away. She leaned against the counter as usual and waited for the kettle to sound.

“O’course, love…so last month I was in Spain and…” And just like they went back to their usual routine.

Y/N smiles fondly at the memory, glad she has great memories with him, even if she feels a dull ache in her heart whenever she thinks of him.

-*-*-*-

The drive to Anne’s was filled by Y/N’s loud stereo and singing of the songs she knew. It wasn’t the same without Harry by her side, and despite five years passing, she missed him singing every song perfectly and teasing her for her off key notes. She would roll her eyes at him and take one hand off the steering wheel, gently flicking his arm before resting it back on the wheel in front of her. Harry would laugh and shake his head at her actions, before continuing to sing.

Y/N turns onto Anne’s street, seeing the familiar house she used to spend so much time in, opting to park out on the street, but as she’s about to turn off her car, she hear the familiar beat of a song, his song, and she can’t bring herself to turn the radio off. As the opening lines of “Adore You” begin to play, she finds herself smiling and quietly singing to the song. Despite not hearing from or seeing him in five years, she couldn’t help but still feel proud of the man she had called her best friend for so long. He had worked hard to get to his current status in the music industry, and it finally paid off.

She remembered when she heard his first album, listening to it the same day it was released; it had been two years since they spoke, but her heart was filled with joy. The music had flowed gently through her new flat, her previous residence filled with too many good memories of her and Harry that made her reminisce on what used to be. She had listened to every word he sang so intently it almost had felt as if he was with her, singing songs for her like he used to. But three years later now, she has refused to listen to his newest album, “Fine Line,” afraid that perhaps it would wake up the memories and the ache that she had done so well of burying deep within her.

So deep in thought, Y/N had barely noticed that the song had faded out, now replaced by advertisements and a talk show. She sighed softly, disappointed that her mind had drifted off to him again, it seemed to be something that was more consistent. Slowly she turns off the ignition to her car, setting the keys in the brown satchel in the passenger's seat before climbing out of her car. She closes the door gently and goes around to the passengers side, opening the door and pulling the brown satchel out, Y/N swings it over her shoulder and closes the door, locking the door and heading to Anne’s house.

Y/N walks up the path and knocks in the door, shifting her weight from left to right as she hears some shuffling behind the door before Anne opens the door, smiling brightly.

“Y/N! Come in please! It’s freezing out there.” Anne beckons the girl inside, closing the door behind them as they enter the place that once was like a second home to Y/N. Upon hearing Anne usher Y/N inside, Gemma emerges from the kitchen and grins, engulfing her in a wide hug.

“Gosh how I’ve missed ya! Don’t be a stranger, Y/N.” Gemma exclaims as she pulls away from their embrace. Y/N nods and smiles at the pair as the three of them head over to the table Anne and Gemma have already set up with food and the necessary utensils. Y/N sets her satchel on the corner of the chair she is currently sat on, carrying an easy conversation with Anne and Gemma despite the memories that flooded her mind. Harry would usually be sat next to Y/N, the pair sitting across from Anne and Gemma as they all told stories from their lives away from one another. She remembers how Harry would steal food off of her plate, pretend that he didn’t, and then proceed to share whatever dessert Anne made for them.

After dinner, Y/N offers to wash the dishes as Anne and Gemma go to set up the board games for the game night they usually hold after their meal. She’s washing the final dish when she hears a knock on the door, something rather unusual for the time of day, but she decided to ignore it; perhaps Gemma had invited a date, or a neighbor was in need of some sugar. Y/N begins to rinse the dish as she hears soft footsteps make their way across the living room and the click of locks coming undone before the door opens without a sound. The dish is now rinsed, and just as Y/N puts it on the drying rack, the grip her hands once held to hold the dish is gone, and she feels her heartbeat pick up in a way that’s barely noticeable.

“Hey mum...so sorry I’m late, m’flight got delayed due to the rain that was expected...no sight of it yet though…” The voice was muffled due to the space from the main entrance to the kitchen, but she could recognize it anywhere. It’s the voice that has signified home for years, now one that she hasn’t heard in person for years. Five years to be exact. It’s his voice...Harry’s voice.

A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed this! It’s my first time writing Harry in YEARS.

One + One is Two

Pairing: Peter Parker/Tony Stark Rating: Explicit (E) Notes: Please listen to Sam Cooke’s (What A) Wonderful World while you read this, or at least during the last scene. It was the brain child of this story & will make your heart happy, I promise! Word Count: 7K Warnings: There’s a tiny bit of smut in here, but it’s me writing, so when is that not the case? Summary:

Dissatisfied with his life as a book publisher in Seattle, Peter heads across the country to take a teaching job in High Rock, North Carolina. The town is beautiful and the new job is everything he could want - yet, true contentment comes when a saucy drama teacher sits down next to him at a staff meeting.

Much cuteness ensues.

Or, the one where Tony serenades Peter & we all go awe.

Read on AO3 here.

For the first time since his own high school days, Peter felt nervous.

Moving to the small little town of High Rock was one of the best decisions of his life – Peter knew that without having to exist in the masses of it for very long. While Seattle was gorgeous, and home to many, many book publishing agencies, it didn’t feel like home. And after almost ten years in the business, editing and selecting the next newest best seller just didn’t do it for him, anymore.

Instead, Peter found himself drawn to both a new career and a brand-new place.

When Peter first started college, he initially wanted to be a teacher; the education department at Columbia ranked amongst some of the best in the nation. After a bit of writing success, however, Peter changed his tune and started down the publishing career track, instead. He let himself get lost in the mess of creative writing and editing, his love for the art quickly taking on another shape. And for a time, it worked – honing in on different skills brought about a different love for the subject as a whole.

Things started to change when Peter took a step back and really looked at where he was. Though successful in his career, Peter spent most of his time making everyone else’s writing better, and no time on his own. The apartment he lived in since graduating college was gorgeous, yet it never screamed home the way he wanted it to. The social scene and foodie experience were great but lacking the sense of fulfillment that little pleasures like that should bring.

The perfect opportunity to change things up came in the form of a call from a friend he hadn’t seen since leaving Nag’s Head so many years ago. Ned, now the principal of a high school in High Rock, needed an English teacher – and was willing to look past the immediate lack of credentials. It didn’t take but a beat of silence for Peter to say yes – the decision made before he could think about it.

How natural it felt – that said something.

In the time between uprooting his life in Seattle to moving back to North Carolina, Peter took care of the certifications he needed and brushed up on teaching theory. His head was so stuck in the literary world that every step away, back towards his original passions, made his heart pound with excitement; a feeling so foreign, Peter almost didn’t recognize it.

Life in Seattle was great but being in High Rock was amazing – for the price of his apartment’s rent, Peter found a three-bedroom house with three times the space. The town resided around a lake, and to really drive that delicacy home, the weather was good enough to visit whenever the fancy struck. The everyday flow of life was different – a change of pace that Peter appreciated from the very second he walked into it.

Now, finally on the cusp of what could be considered to be his “dream job”, Peter felt nervous. Not the bad kind of nervous, where his stomach felt like it could drop out his ass at any minute. It was the kind, instead, that made his palms sweat with sweet apprehension – like the start of something totally new.

The reality of his fresh start didn’t truly set in until he pulled up to High Rock High School and parked in his employee parking spot a week before the start of school. The rest of the parking lot was relatively empty at the moment, but soon, all of the spaces would be occupied – taken up by young minds that Peter now had the opportunity to shape. It felt so real as he walked through the front doors and anxiously navigated himself to his perfectly decorated classroom. He pulled in a long breath and let the potential of what could be settle over him.

He took his time reacquainting himself with the room he put together a few weeks ago when the teachers were allowed access during summer break. After a lot of thought, Peter meticulously used his calligraphy skills to make hangable quotes from the books he couldn’t wait to cover throughout the year. His desk, though smaller than what he was used to, stood proudly in the corner he made for himself – the bookshelves he brought from Seattle set up along the walls were already stuffed to the gills with books and resources.

For the first time in what felt like ten years, Peter felt a sense of home that settled him – his chest finally loosening after such a long time.

That settled feeling followed him all the way into the cafeteria, where the first ever staff meeting of his career was set to take place. In the book world, meetings with clients and supervisors were always stuffy, filled with sucking up and holding back little truths that would change the interaction if known. Transparency wasn’t anywhere close to the name of the game.

Not knowing what to expect from these, Peter felt the apprehension start to creep back in.

Might be a good thing, Peter thought – nerves kept him on his toes and in this new start, he wanted to put his best foot forward. Never having taught before, Peter wasn’t sure what that actually looked, but the best intentions were there.

Taking a seat at the big circle of tables already decked out in coffee fixings and donuts, Peter let his eyes roam around. Despite being more than ten years removed from high school, the lunchroom looked exactly like he pictured the one he spent so much time in during his school days. The old smell of large pan pizza and disinfectant even seemed the same. The familiarity of it, despite the newness of the space, brought that feeling of comfort rushing back.

Suddenly, the smell of woody outdoors and musk and man filled his nostrils. Turning his head in the direction of the smell, Peter was surprised to see the seat next to him now occupied. The man (though Adonis would be more fitting) sat up straight with a warm and welcoming smile on his face.

It took Peter a second to register the fact that social protocol usually demanded something from him at this moment in time. His attempt to pull in a deep, calming breath was thwarted when the exhale brought in that delectable scent. Feeling his cheeks pinken, Peter ducked his head, the lack of eye contact just enough to get his shit back under control.

“Uh – hi! I’m Peter. Peter Parker,” Peter finally said in greeting, his hand moving into the space between them. If things weren’t awkward enough, Peter’s nerves were back through the roof – though this time, they brought a sort of warmth that could easily be intoxicating.

A warm hand slipped into his own, the man’s grip tight without being too overbearing; eerily right in the sense that their joint contact didn’t feel forced at all. “Hey there, Peter Parker. I’m Tony Stark – resident drama teacher.” He pulled his hand away from Peter’s to gesture at himself.

Not completely out of his mind with surprise any longer, Peter took the rest of Tony, resident drama teacher, in. His goatee, while not entirely thick, was styled within an inch of its life – the edges were sharp, and the corners came together in a severe angle at the start of his jaw. A waistcoat sat over a dark salmon colored shirt that was delightfully finished with a black striped bow tie. Peter wasn’t sure what shouted drama teacher about the ensemble, but he nodded anyway – he enjoyed the open invitation to take more of Tony in without the whole thing feeling a bit creepy.

“Dramatic,” Peter finally added, the free-range movement of his eyes probably too much without at least a little continuation of the conversation. “It’s English for me – I’ll have the junior and senior AP kids.”

Tony’s nose scrunched up adorably, his face suggestive in its emotional expression – dramatic, after all. He shifted a little closer, the space between their seats not much now that they sat shoulder to shoulder. If he really tried, Peter could feel the warmth of Tony’s arm drift just barely under the surface of his skin.

Briefly, he wondered what the warmth would be like if that skin was bare.

Then, Tony’s melodic voice pulled him from his inappropriate thoughts. He bumped their shoulders, a smile on his face. “If you’ve got the juniors, that means we’ll get to work together pretty closely. We do a stage rendition of Hamlet to take the Shakespeare out of good ole Willie’s work. It seems to help with the comprehension.”

Face lighting up, Peter felt his heart thump a little harder – his love of Shakespeare was what brought about the English passion to begin with. The fact that he already had reason to spend time with the enigma of a man next him barely even registered. “I love that. His plays are meant for the stage, after all.”

“They are – and totally accessible to modernization. If you’re on board, we can put together something fun and educational.” Tony’s lips were pulled into a smirk, Peter’s lack of verbal and emotional filter giving away so much more than he truly wanted.

Blushing, Peter brought his hands together, lacing his fingers for the tactile distraction of the movement. It took him a second to hold back the blurt, his brain working overtime to process the words Tony said and respond accordingly. Just because he was now in a high school, didn’t mean he needed to act like one of its inhabitants.

“As long as you don’t expect me to be in it, I think it’ll be great.”

Tony laughed at that, the already adorable nose scrunch making its way back onto his gorgeous face. He ducked his shoulder into Peter’s again, that same smirk on his face. “What you don’t like to make a fool of yourself?” Tony asked as he pushed back from the table to get up.

“Speaking of,” Tony trailed off, the man now completely out of his seat and making his way to the front of the cafeteria that was now quite occupied with his fellow teachers and administrators alike.

With wide eyes, Peter watched as Tony stood in the middle of three other middle-aged teachers, their shirts and bowties noticeably coordinated now that he was paying attention. As if waiting for Tony’s arrival, the room went silent. With a few well-timed snaps, a cluster of voices started in what could only be described as a jazzy barbershop quartet version of the school’s fight song.

Peter watched in awe, his eyes glued to Tony – the moves he brought to the table were fancy and smooth, completely in sync with the subpar performers around him. They didn’t matter, that was easy to see. Tony drew everyone’s attention, his big personality and undeniable talent noticed by just about everyone in the room. Despite these people probably having seen this little song and dance before, they still watched with rapt attention.

Unable to stop himself, Peter clapped when the cacophony of voices came to an end. He got up from his chair with little finesse, his body way ahead of the heavy thing that existed between his shoulders. The rest of the room looked at him oddly for a second, then added to the applause.

In terms of first impressions, Peter was totally winning.

Thankfully, the rest of the meeting went without a hitch. Peter got a couple of minutes to introduce himself and talk a little bit about his previous experience. He knew he brought an interesting perspective to the table, both as a teacher and someone interested in making the student’s lives as easy and enriched as possible. When it came time to sign up for volunteer chaperone opportunities, Peter cleverly put himself in a couple he thought might attract Tony’s attention, too.

Because, for some reason, Peter’s brain decided that Tony Stark needed to be in his life in some way. Though he forced himself to not name the way he wanted it to be, Peter understood all too well what a crush felt like. There was a lot of time between his last flame and the surge of that old familiar feeling rushing within him – and despite barely knowing him, Peter knew potential when he saw it.

Of course, his next chance to see Tony outside of the classroom setting didn’t come until several weeks into school. Decked out in his new High Rock gear, Peter tried not to look out of place at the gates of the football stadium where he signed himself up to take tickets for the first half of the game. Some of the students that recognized him waved and tried to make small talk – an art that Peter hadn’t fine-tuned in quite some time. Everyone else cast him a sidelong glance and went about their way.

An internal groan radiated through him – it felt silly to be so frustrated about these young kids not liking him, and yet… most of his thoughts revolved around bridging the gap he knew existed. Not for the first time, Peter figured the skill was one he would’ve learned in the education program he so carelessly threw away. Book dealers and authors were a stuffy sort – the extent of wanted conversation existed within the bounds of how good (or sometimes, how shitty) their latest piece was. And profits – always profits.

“If you just relax, they’ll be way more receptive.”

Turning to find the source of the words, Peter didn’t even try to stop the smile on his face from blooming when he realized who it was. A sudden gratefulness settled over him – in his many attempts to dress for the evening, Peter put on his newest (and nicest) jeans. They were both comfortable and fit him like a glove. The secret of his crush wasn’t much of a secret – why try to hide anything else (especially his nicest assets)?

“Easy for you to say, Mr. Stark – you ooze cool from your pores,” Peter remarked, his eyebrows waggling cheesily. “In all seriousness, I’m trying. The shift in mindset has been a challenge. Kids want realness and that sort of thing would’ve landed me on my ass not too long ago.”

The low sound of Tony’s laugh rang in Peter’s ears, the octave of it so rich in its depths that a shudder ran down his spine. He wondered, not for the first time, how the musicality translated to other more melodic things.

“None of that Mr. Stark shit from you, Peter Parker – it’s bad enough the kids call me that. I’m just a regular, single gent outside of the classroom.” As he spoke, Tony narrowed the space down between them, their shoulders once again within brushing distance. “Why don’t you try not trying? I’ve taken a peek in your classroom during a lecture or two – you know your shit and have passion for it. Let a little more of that seep into the everyday stuff and you’ll have them eating out of the palm of your hand.”

“Is that what you do? Let all of the bubbliness pour out until they can do nothing but admire the hell out of you?”

Peter pulled his bottom lip between his teeth to stop the sound that threatened to fall from his lips when Tony laughed again – it shouldn’t be legal, being that goddamn adorable all the time.

“That’s exactly what I do. I enjoy every second of my job and let people see that. Being genuine goes a long way, Pete.”

Sucking in a breath, Peter felt those words hit him square in the gut. Were there truer words in existence?

“In an attempt to be genuine, would you possibly be interested in a drink later?” Feeling his eyes bulge at the words that effortlessly came out of his mouth, Peter tried to backtrack. “I mean – I – “

Tony cut off the splutter with a hand on Peter’s shoulder, his touch that same warmth he remembered. “I’d love to. I wasn’t sure you were going to finally pull the trigger – I planned to ask you out myself if you didn’t soon.”

Peter’s cheeks flushed, the heat of them burning so hot he had to be as red as a tomato. Between the flame and the stretch of his lips, Peter wasn’t sure he’d see the end of the night with all of his face intact – smiling his way to an early death.

After that, the rest of the game flew by in a whirlwind of easy conversation, student monitoring, and one too many hot dogs. At one point, Peter bought them both another just to see Tony open his mouth – the literal thirst he felt towards the drama teacher something Peter wasn’t sure existed before meeting Tony Stark. There was just something about his lips…

By the time the last two minutes of the fourth quarter were ticking down, Peter was more than ready to get the hell out of dodge. The thought of having his students witness his awkward mating dance made his skin crawl. He loved being back in the high school atmosphere – that time of adolescence was an exciting one. At the same time, the wagging gums of the gossip mongers were hard to get used to. There were things he knew about some of the kids that passed through his door that no other human should know, let alone the simple, unsuspecting English teacher.

When the game clock finally dwindled down, Tony bumped into his shoulder. Realizing that was Tony’s way of drawing his attention, Peter looked over at him. Tony stood casually against the fence, both hands in the deep pockets of his jacket.

“Let’s get the hell out of here before there’s a huge sea of teens heading right for us. If they spot us, it’ll be ages before we’re in the clear,” Tony remarked, his right hand slipping out of the pocket to grip onto Peter’s elbow, instead.

It didn’t take anything more than that to kick Peter into gear. He allowed himself to relax into the touch and walked with sure steps towards the exit. Now that his duties were done for the evening, Peter felt a different sort of contentment wash over him – the rest of the night was for himself, and if things went really well, a slice of Tony Stark, too.

“There’s a nice wine bar about twenty minutes outside of High Rock’s city limits that’s got a great chardonnay – want to follow me?” Tony asked as they approached the parking lot, his hands already tossing his keys around the ring over and over.

The man’s inability to stay put was easily one of the things that Peter felt immediately attracted to. There was a reason for it, and he couldn’t wait to find out.

“Yes, please. For such a small town, it’s surprisingly difficult to navigate.”

“They do that on purpose. Small towns, I mean. It discourages the infiltration of outsiders.” Tony shot him a look, the mirth in his eyes hard to decipher. If it weren’t for the telling smirk on his lips, Peter never would’ve gotten the joke.

“You’re kind of an asshole, you know that?” Peter asked, affection lacing his voice. “And a transplant too, isn’t that right?”

“The nicest asshole you’ll ever know.” He looked up; surprise evident on his face. “Very clever, Peter Parker – doing your homework. I grew up on the upper east side in New York and went through Tisch’s theater program. Thought I’d be a star.”

Peter chuckled at that – the entirety of the school idolized Tony. It wasn’t the biggest stage to be the center of attention of, but stardom wasn’t something that Tony lacked. “You are. I’ve looked in your door while you were teaching, too, y’know. Every person in your class watches you with this look of awe in their eyes. That’s star power, my friend.”

“Do I smell a bias?” Tony joked back quickly, the words covering up the flash of unnamed emotion the man refused to let settle across his features. “If my campy spiel is enough to rope you in, I can’t be too upset.”

Not giving a shit about revealing too much of himself the same way Tony did, Peter let the beaming smile play along the seam of his lips. His cheeks were pinching with overuse, burning and a little tingly. It felt great – enjoying life and someone else in it so much.

“Bias or not, it’s the truth.”

Tony threw his hands up in concession, the earnest way Peter spoke obviously too much for him. His cheeks were a little red, and the tiniest bit of blush on cheeks was unmistakable. It was unfair really; how attractive someone could make just about any emotion seem. Shy and demure, or rambunctious and fiery – Tony owned them all. Peter had to work very hard to stop from admitting that outright. Instead, he ducked his head and let out an overwhelmed breath.

Getting to the winery felt a little like floating on air – Spotify hit all the right jams and before Peter knew it, they were parking in front of a rustic looking building. There was outdoor seating with people milling about, the soft orange of the light such a good marketing technique; one look and Peter immediately felt at home.

To order, they had to walk into the storefront that opened into a small bar area. The chalkboard leaned up against the wall held the menu with a vast expanse of wines that would be overwhelming if he wasn’t going to parrot Tony’s order. A few people milled about waiting for their drinks, and in the mellow atmosphere, soft music played to top it all off.

Peter took a moment to soak it in – an aura of atmosphere that was everything he didn’t know he wanted settled in, the beautiful man next to him really driving it home.

They waited for a few minutes to order, the two of them chatting back and forth about the game and their excitement for the weekend. Tony leaned into Peter while he talked, a whiff of delectable cologne wafted into Peter’s nostrils with every press of his body. The whole thing was intoxicating, the head-spin almost like he was already drunk – high on the rightness of all the things.

With a glass of wine each, Tony led them back out towards the scattered seating outside. They took a seat in a couple of chairs that sat at the edge of the little fireplace in the middle of the setup. Though the night wasn’t too cold, the warmth was welcome – the flicker of flames casting Tony’s skin in a golden hue not hurting, either.

“So, tell me a bit more about you, Pete – what brought you to High Rock?” Tony asked after a couple of long sips of wine, the silence and overall mood hovering between them so much more than enough.

Peter stuck his nose in his wine and took a deep breath, thinking for a moment about how to express himself. “A lot of things,” he said softly, his eyes roving across the flames of the fire in front of them before meeting Tony’s gaze. “I think I got caught up in the excitement of being young and veered off the path I truly wanted. I was happy enough for a long time that it didn’t really matter, either. And then one day, I blinked and dissatisfaction with just about everything in my life was there, plain as day in front of me. When Ned offered me this job out of the blue, it just felt right.”

Tony watched him while he spoke, his eyes trained first on lips around words, then on the expressions flitting across Peter’s face. It felt a little unnerving, being so seen by someone, but Tony simply smiled at him, a small smile on his face. “Wanderlust. I know what that’s like. All I wanted to do was be on Broadway – then all of the sudden, working sixteen hours a day just to be broke in the chorus wasn’t all that fun, anymore. I spread open a map of North Carolina, closed my eyes, and picked a place at random. I love High Rock – it was the best decision of my life.”

“I like it here, too. And I like teaching. I like being able to sift through the books I loved so much growing up, watching the kids learn how to love them, too. It’s… it’s really nice.”

The conversation went on like that for a while. Tony told him horror stories of his first couple years or teaching, and some of the better times in his stage experience. In return, Peter described some of the worst plotlines ever put in front of him, and the story behind the long scar that took up residence on the back of his right hand.

While he regaled Tony of his epic adventure with a printing press, the older man reached over, his fingertip running along the length of the sensitive skin. Peter came to an abrupt stop, his brain emptying of everything other than the sensory experience of warm skin and gentle exploration.

There was a second where Peter thought he might not ever catch his breath again – the adrenaline pumping through him from such a small thing shouldn’t have been so exciting. The idea that someone, anyone, could make him feel like that, so caught up and overwhelming, it should’ve been scary. Instead, it felt exhilarating. Like he didn’t have the patience to see what happened next, he just wanted.

“Since being genuine is the name of the game, I’m going to admit that I wouldn’t be opposed to getting out of here and continuing this at my place… or yours,” Peter admitted, his previous train of thought completely out the window. Whatever they were talking about before didn’t matter – not when the firelight made Tony’s eyes look like molten amber in the dark of the night.

Tony’s gentle laugh pulled a chuckle out of Peter, the air suddenly filled with a tranquil sort of tension that would only get better the longer they nursed it. Peter felt that in his very bones.

Without saying anything, Tony tucked his wine glass back and tipped the rest of the wine into his mouth, his lips shining with the excess when he pulled away. Peter felt his tongue dip out, the tip running along his bottom lip the same way he wanted to do to Tony. The wine was magnificent and had the capacity to only get better off of Tony’s kissable skin. It took every ounce of power within him to stop Peter from closing the distance.

Have some self-control, Peter Parker.

“I’ve got some wine that will piggy-back nicely off of what we just drank,” Tony said as he stood, his movement beautiful relaxed. The offer was nice, but they both knew another glass of wine wasn’t what the rest of the night would entail.

Getting up himself, Peter shot Tony a saucy grin, the soreness in his cheeks reminding him just how good their time spent together was and certainly seemed like it was going to be.

“Lead the way.”

Surprisingly, Peter’s impatience was easily overridden by Tony the second they were through his front door. Peter didn’t get any time to take in the place, his entire being instead focused on the warm chest and plump lips pressing against his own. Trim hips were in the palms of his hand, and nothing else mattered.

Peter didn’t really know Tony all that well, but what he did know was that Tony did everything with his entire being. Dancing, teaching, even having a simple conversation, Tony focused on the task; and kissing wasn’t any different. His long fingers took up residence in the length of hair at the back of Peter’s neck. His lips, both soft and slightly chapped, pressed confidently against Peter’s with gusto – he took and gave, his head turning to deepen the kiss when tongues slid together in a sensuous dance.

They took their time shifting from surface to surface during the journey from the front door to Tony’s bedroom. The impatience of a quick fumble dulled considerably when a few things registered – Tony’s touch was magical, their bodies fit together seamlessly, and when combined it all felt like something Peter never felt before (and didn’t want to ever not feel again). Something in the way things played out so easily between them said this wouldn’t be the only time like this, tangled up and caught.

By the time Peter pushed Tony back against the bed, boxer briefs were the only thing separating bare skin. Settling between spread legs that were lithe and clenching with muscle, Peter filled all of Tony’s empty spaces with his body – their chests pressed together and when Tony wrapped his legs around Peter’s hips, there was no telling where one ended and the other began.

Peter kissed a path down Tony’s jaw and neck, across the span of a surprisingly hairy chest, and further along the length of his toned stomach – the slightest swell of a belly right along the edge of the soft waistband a lovely contradiction. Tony painted a gorgeous picture and the smallest “imperfection” played in contrast so deliciously.

Hooking his fingers under the waistband of Tony’s underwear, Peter glanced up to catch the lust filled, hazel glance. Tony answered the look with a nod of his head, his mouth opening in a silent moan when Peter finally removed the last barrier. He made quick work of his own drawers in an attempt to finally knew what Tony truly felt like.

The first brush of Tony’s warm skin against his own brought Peter’s hips forward, a soft gasp falling from his lips when cock brushed against cock. The level of excitement spoke for itself when the slide was easy, both heads already leaky with pre-come. Peter ducked his head in Tony’s neck to avoid embarrassing himself – it felt too good and the edge felt so close already.

“What do you want?” Peter asked, his lips pressing against the moist skin of Tony’s neck as their hips rolled together. He used his free hand to hike the muscular thigh higher around his hip, the move making the angle even better than before. “You feel so good, Tony. Tell me what you want – I’ll give you anything.”

His words brought a groan from deep within Tony’s chest – Peter felt it before it sounded in the space between them. He felt Tony reach up to grip his bicep, the man’s fingers digging in tight.

“God, you’re better at this than I imagined. Your words feel like liquid fire against my skin. I want you, Pete – anything and everything.” Tony finished his words with a kiss against the side of Peter’s head, his lips just barely brushing the shell of Peter’s ear. “We have time for that, though. Tonight – I think you should fuck me.”

Peter pulled back then, his hips stalling for a second. Their eyes locked and for a second, his heart felt like it was stuttering through its cycle, systole and diastole suddenly out of sync – was there anything sexier? Drawing his lower lip to stop any rogue words from falling out before the time was right, Peter nodded, his cock throbbing at the very idea.

With a quick kiss on the lips and a fumble with the bedside table, Tony shifted onto his stomach, arranging himself in a glorious position. His legs were spread and every time he leaned forward on his forearms, Peter watched Tony’s hole fluttering, the muscle clenching and unclenching with every move.

Unable to decide whether he wanted to dive in face first or just get prep over and done with, Tony made the decision for him – the lube hit Peter square in the chest when Tony tossed it at him.

“Please, Pete.”

The words were directive enough. Peter flipped open the cap and poured a good amount into the palm of his hand. He let the slick warm up before letting a little drip down Tony’s ass cheeks, the lube sliding across his twitching hole enticingly. Using his thumb to spread it around, Peter forced himself to take a deep breath before pressing the tip of his point finger in. He was met with no resistance, so he slipped forward until the webbing of his finger stopped him.

That same rhythm went on as Peter entered a second, and then finally a third finger in, each new digit loosening Tony considerably with every push and pull, in and out. His skin was covered with sweat and every moan Tony made let Peter think he could cum without ever having touched himself. Things were intimate, each touch like making memory. If they went on like this forever, Peter could die happy.

“Okay, okay – I need you to fuck me. I could cum just from your fingers and I planned on pulling you over with me.” Tony panted out, the words a little muffled by Tony’s forearms, where the man was leaning heavily.

Understanding the sentiment, Peter slipped his fingers out carefully. He immediately wrapped them around his own cock, spreading the excess lube around. While he tried to piece himself together enough not to come upon first touch, Tony fumbled in the bedside drawer again, a condom hitting his knee a second later. His skin flushed and with shaky movements, Peter picked up the foil packet, ripped the edge with his teeth, and quickly got the damn thing down his length.

With a little more lube, Peter was finally pressed against Tony’s entrance, the muscle giving way without much of a push. He made himself slide into Tony’s tightness with one steady stroke – if he pulled back at all, the whole thing would be over. When he was finally seated fully, Peter came to an abrupt halt. Breaths were hard to come by, his entire being on fire. The few seconds Tony needed to adjust gave Peter a second to lean his forehead against Tony’s back and simply breath.

Tony clenched his hole around Peter in invitation, the pulse of the muscle there immediately dragging Peter’s hips forward. A loud groan echoed around the room, neither knowing (or caring) who the noise belonged to. It felt too good, and as Peter set up a steady rhythm, both men got lost amongst the haze.

Peter’s body took over, the neurons in his brain operating on fight or flight. Long fingers dug into Tony’s hips; his grip tight. There’d be bruises there later, Peter using the touch to pull Tony back against him. Thrust after thrust, the tip of his cock brushed more frequently against a sensitive prostate, and once Peter knew where that pleasure center was, he didn’t let up.

As the end drew near, Peter changed his approach. Plastering himself over Tony’s back, his hips slowed down a little, and with a better grip, Peter thrust in deeply, his arms around the trim chest pulling Tony back hard. Now, every thrust hit Tony’s prostate dead on – the sounds coming out of the man’s mouth magnifying the feeling for them both. The helpless groan of pleasure-pain was delicious – Tony clenched with each dead-on hit, the grip so fucking tight around him.

A soft groan of Peter’s name was the only warning he got before Tony was cumming; the flutter and tightness pulling Peter right along with him. Peter shouted his surprise and pulled Tony as tightly against him as he possibly could. The world felt like it was melting around him – that little death fucking earth shattering.

When he finally came to, Peter felt Tony’s hands petting over him, his touch providing a tactile support that helped to ground him and prolong the sensitive pleasure. He loosened his grip up a little but didn’t let go until the need to dispose of the condom became too necessary to postpone. A pathetic little groan slipped from his lips when he pulled out, Peter’s body already missing the connection.

They cleaned up before the stickiness of their skin made the next morning more crusty than necessary, then fell back into bed – the two of them avoiding the wet spot instead of changing the sheets like any normal people would. Peter felt his limbs start to give up on him, the soft mattress and warm man promising a sweet sort of sleep that couldn’t be resisted.

Settling in with Tony wrapped up behind him, Peter let himself fall asleep – the future bright in front of him.

----

Things developed between them so easily after that. Being with Tony felt like getting to hang out with his best friend every day, and without any hesitation from the man, they spent practically all their time together. The fact that it felt like nothing but the best things changed in his life said a lot – he introduced a whole ass person into his space and time without any problems. Most people took years to find the sort of comfort that existed between him and Tony.

Because of all the time they spent together, it didn’t take long for the secret to get out. When Mr. Parker started to spend all of his lunch hours in Mr. Stark’s office, the rumors started. By the time Peter finally just pulled Tony into a kiss before they split up in the morning to shut everyone up, the ideas the students came up with were hilarious. Many people speculated that they’d been married for years, their sense of ease together too perfect to be as new as it truly was.

When Peter got to High Rock, he wasn’t looking for love. The idea of a change included a new job and a new place to explore, not a person who he suddenly couldn’t live without. Though he didn’t set out for it, love found him all the same.

Around Valentine’s Day, Peter felt the itch to finally tell Tony what they both already knew. Despite spending almost every available second together, the words were never said, even though the feeling was so transcendent it was stupidly hard to miss. They had the sort of connection that didn’t need a name – and once the genie was out of the bottle, Peter wasn’t sure he’d be able to stop saying the words he felt so wholeheartedly.

On one hand, he wanted the whole thing to be special. A night where they wine and dined, talked into the early hours of the morning, and then, when they were sated and close to passing out from marathon love making, he’d press the words into Tony’s skin. It fell into the dramatic category that Peter knew Tony would absolutely appreciate. Yet, the feeling existed between them from the very get go – did putting a name to that feeling really matter all that much?

The answer came a couple of weeks later. They were in the heart of AP test preparation, so he had after hour study sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. After taking Tony’s advice and relaxing a little, students actively paid more attention to his class and the seats were almost always full during his get-togethers.

They made great work on some of the imagery that encompassed the Scarlet Letter, and Peter left his classroom more than satisfied. The thought of simply walking down the hall to see his favorite person didn’t hurt his mood, either. Tony sometimes spent the couple of hours after school in his classroom waiting, and today was one of those days.

For the first time since the end of the holiday school musical, Peter heard music playing in Tony’s classroom. They were in the depths of play season, so Tony’s mind was usually elsewhere. Yet, the closer he got to the door, the louder the music became. The smooth sounds of one of his favorite Sam Cooke songs picked up the pace of his steps – the dopamine of good music and Tony spurring him on.

What he found when he walked in the door was so much better.

Down to his white shirt and black waistcoat, Tony was counting out steps as he sang along with the music. Instead of Sam Cooke’s voice, Tony sang the cheesy lyrics with amazing clarity. The last time they listened to this song, Peter was dumbfounded by the deepness of his voice – and now was no exception.

He must’ve been in the zone, because Tony didn’t acknowledge him at first. The music played and a well-practiced dance followed. Peter watched with rapt attention, the whole thing the best thing he’d ever seen. By the time Tony noticed him, Peter was closing the space between them, his voice echoing the last round of the chorus.

A look of surprise passed across Tony’s face, his years of experience not letting it show anywhere else. He smiled at Peter, dancing into his arms until they were chest to chest – finishing the song looking into each other’s eyes.

Delightful red flush covered Tony’s cheeks when the music stopped, his eyes still wide with surprise and delight. “You weren’t supposed to see this yet,” Tony admitted, a sheepish look on his face.

“I’m glad I did. I love watching you like this. In your element.” Peter gripped Tony’s face in his hands then, fingers digging into the long hair at his temples. Even if he wanted to, Tony couldn’t break the eye contact between them. “And gosh – I love you. So much, I almost can’t stand it.”

Tony’s eyes roamed over his face for a second, the honey-hazel glance obviously taking in the genuineness in his words. When he found his answer, he leaned forward, taking Peter’s lips in a passionate kiss. He didn’t linger, however – their eyes locking again just seconds later.

“I love you too, Pete. It’s so easy and being with you – it finally feels like I’m right where I should be.”

Grinning, Peter brushed their noses together, his lips ghosting over Tony’s lightly.

“We both are.”

“Sure enough, my secretary has to be Sayaka Igarashi. No one, but you.” -Kirari

Translator note:

This is an official short novel with pictures written and drawn by the authors.

The coloring part was done by fans.

Please note that this is a direct english translation done based on a chinese

translation of the novel so it consists of errors. (I used google translate, sorry).

The translation may not be accurate but the meaning is there.

And yes, kirasaya are canon couple! Hope you enjoy reading this!

First story

Let me put it straight.

The job of the secretary of the student president of Hyakkaou Private Academy is

indeed very tiring.

A full day begins with getting up in the morning, arriving at school an hour earlier

than the president and entering the secretary office.

Then, I’ve got to organize today’s work, deal with the papers and respond to the

mails. When the president arrives, I meet her at the school gate and accompany

her to the student president’s room to report on the schedule and unresolved

matters. My morning is finally over when the president and the other student

council members take their seats.

But there’s no time to catch a breather. For me, the day’s just begun.

There are many other meetings that the president has to attend, not to mention

student council meetings. For example, there are regular meetings with teachers

and education commitees. Sometimes, clubs within the school are visited by

important politicians and financiers. I will have to accompany her to all of these

and prepare the necessary information. Of course, the materials have to be

organized beforehand. This requires careful reading at home and some extra

investigation if needed. 1

I am reminded of the difficulty of this job when I am suddenly asked for my

opinion or when I give various reports to the president.

“What do you think?”

The only person that I don’t want to be considered a fool by is the president,

although she doesn’t seem to notice my efforts that much. Even so, every word

she says to me is like a breath of fresh air. Next, another wave of pressure

begins.

The secretarial work is endless. Beside the paperwork, I have to pay attention to

president’s every move, including her physical condition, and support her in all

aspects.

After school, I’m finally able to take a break. But my leisure is not as important as

hers, so in order for the president to comfortably spend time after school, I have

to accompany her.

That was my daily life now.

“President, you have worked hard today. Would you like some black tea?”

I poured some from a teapot. For me who has never brewed black tea, it turned

out better than expected.

“Thank you, Sayaka. You are so considerate.”

This is perfect. Twilight shines slightly through the curtain crevices while the

warm air is accompanied by quiet classical music. It all gives me a sense of peace

of mind for completing today’s work, and it’s all topped off by being praised by

the president.

“Ara.”

It seems she has noticed something.

“Sayaka, where’s your share?”

There’s no way the president cares about me like this.

“Black tea? Ah, I don’t have to. It’s just for the president to enjoy.”

“Ah, is that so? In that case, your share is also necessary. Please bring another

cup.”

“Yes…”

“There’s nothing special happening today. It’s a peaceful, quiet and boring day.

Let’s play a game.”

The president poured black tea into another cup I brought.

“At the end of the day, don’t you want some excitement?”

As the president said this, she took out a container from somewhere and opened

it. She took out the powder with a spoon and put it in the teacup.

“President, what is this?”

“Citric acid. A lot of it~”

With the stirring of the spoon, the powder dissolved in the black tea and

vanished.

“Then… It wouldn’t be exactly pleasant to drink something like this… Right?”

“Hmm. Didn’t I say this is a gamble? I am going to mess up the order of the two

cups. I may replace the order or I may not. One cup has the ordinary delicious

black tea that Sayaka made. The other one has black tea with a lot of citric acid.

Sayaka, you are going to choose a cup and drink it in one gulp. I’ll drink the one that you didn't choose, lets gamble this way"

Why do we have to play a punishment game?

“Have you ever drunk citric acid? It’s very sour~.”

She laughed and made an expression the same as that of a kid who played a

prank.

“So what do you say? Of course, there isn’t going to be any benefit for neither of

the parties. Even if one wins, the other will have to drink the sour tea… But it’ll

certainly help to get rid of boredom.”

“But I’m certainly not worthy enough to gamble with the president.”

“That’s not true. Be more confident. It’s going to be interesting.”

If the president said that, then, of course, I don’t have the option of rejecting it. If

the president is bored, I have to do something to relieve her boredom.

And… the president’s expression when she drinks something sour… I really want to

see it!

“Please turn around.”

I faced her with my back and the president began disrupting the order of the

teacups.

“It’s ready. Please choose.”

It’s finally time. I didn’t expect that at the end of the day I would gamble with the

president.

“Yes... Leave this to me.”

From my point of view, the right side was “ordinary black tea” and the left “black

tea with citric acid added”. It feels like the position of the cups was truly slightly

changed. That’s right, the president must have indeed moved the cups. But a

swap between left and right is not certain.

I fixated my eyes on the inside of the cups. The citric acid has dissolved

completely, so it seems it cannot be judged from this aspect. What about temperature? The "ordinary black tea" was poured out first.

"Oh, no touching the tea cups"

Of course, the president saw through my thinking. Both sides emit almost the

same amount of vapor, and the smell is nothing special except the fragrance of

black tea.

There’s nothing different between the two cups… Except one thing.

The cup on the left is slightly more concentrated.

What does that mean? The “ordinary black tea” was poured out first and is, of

course, slightly less warm. The degree of vapor divergence should be different.

But the vapor divergence of the two cups of black tea is the same. That is to say…

Yes, there’s only one way to think.

In order to make the temperature of the two cups of tea similar, the president

added tea to the “ordinary black tea” which was poured out first.

The tea cup on the left side with more amount is “ordinary black tea”!

“Fufu. You look very confident.”

“Yes, is that so?”

“Ah, you’re smiling!”

“!”

So embarrassing. The president saw through my defenseless expression. But

there’s nothing I can do about it. I really am happy.

I don’t care about winning this gamble. I’m happy because the winning rate is by

half.

“…Fufu…”

In fact, I have prepared countermeasures beforehand.

The amount of black tea present in the cup really is different. It may be a hint to

get close to the answer, but it may also be a trap or camouflage. The president

may have expected that I would judge that the side with more is “ordinary black

tea”, instead adding black tea to the “black tea with citric acid added”. On the

contrary, it is possible to anticipate that I have also thought of this.

There’s no end to thinking about it, and I don’t think you can win over the

president with logical thinking.

Hence, the plan I have prepared is to decide in advance which cup of tea I’m going

to choose.

Even after the gamble started, even if information and clues were found, it was

still necessary to choose beforehand.

No matter how powerful the president is, she is still not superhuman, therefore

she can’t predict the decision I made beforehand.

That is to say, the odds of winning or losing this game are equal, so I choose…

“Hmm. I choose this one. Right!”

“Then, the long awaited moment has finally arrived. Let’s drink. I’ll choose the one

on the left. Are you sure it’s the one on the right?”

“Yes, please!”

I replied my answer affirmatively. The president picked up the tea cup on the left.

I picked up the one on the right.

“So…I’ll drink it now.”

The president lifted the cup and drank it in one gulp. It was the first time I saw her

drink tea like this. I stopped drinking uncounsciously because I was captivated by

her expression.

“Um…”

The president frowned and lowered her teacup. She showed a very rare, gloomy expression.

Did I win? Did I win in a gamble with the president?

“Well, it’s really…”

This is the first time! It feels like dreaming! I can’t suppress the excitement. But,

now it’s not the time to celebrate. First, let’s finish the gamble and enjoy the taste

of victory.

“…It’s really delicious.”

Very sour!!!!!!!

“Cough, coo, whine… Cough, cough!”

Clang! I dropped the cup and it fell to the ground.

This is… the black tea… it’s extremely sour! Why? Clearly I have won, the

president… Isn’t this cup supposed to be “ordinary black tea”…?!

“Fufufu~”

The president smiled gracefully. Her expression was as if the clouds had never

appeared on her face.

“Anyway, it’s just a sour drink. It’s no big deal if you are aware of it. But what if

you weren’t expecting it?”

I was deceived…! In order to make me react carelessly, the president made a

frowning expression deliberately while drinking “ordinary black tea”!

“President…”

Sure enough, I can’t win in a gamble with the president. I chose the “black tea

with citric acid” just because of my bad luck. It had nothing to do with the amount

of tea in the cups.

However, if the “black tea with citric acid” was chosen instead, the president

would’ve surely drank it without hesitation. Just like she said, it’s not a big deal to

drink it if you’re prepared. As a result, I almost puked out the tea. This would only

happen when the two conditions of surprise and selecting “black tea with citric

acid” are fulfilled. I had no chance of winning since the beginning. Although it was a game to relieve boredom, I recognised the overwhelming power gap between

me and the president.

“I’m sorry. I went a little overboard with my prank.”

The president took out her handkerchief.

“Thanks to you, a boring day has become an interesting memory. Thank you.”

The president gently wiped my lips with the handkerchief.

“Sure enough, my secretary has to be Sayaka Igarashi. No one, but you.”

At that moment, my emotions went up and down intensively. The position of

secretary of the president student council of Hyakkaou Private Academy is indeed

very tiring. But there is no job I enjoy more than this one.

Tl Note: I think Kirari added citric acid into both cups just so she could see Sayaka’s cute expression. Not

to mention Kirari was being so gentle to Sayaka. This is just too cute!

Second Story

The student president of Hyakkaou Private School, Momobami Kirari.

Usually, there is always a smile on her face. To the eyes of the outsiders, it seems

like there is no other expression. But in fact, the president has a lot of charming

expressions: the expression of boredom when day-to-day life brings no

excitement, the satisfied expression after drinking perfectly brewed black tea, all

kinds of expressions…

The secretary room of I, Igarashi Sayaka, is filled with photographs of the

president’s various expressions. I’ve been working hard to fill this room.

In student president’s room.

There are several documents that require the president’s stamp. It is very

unfortunate that she is not around.

Anyway, I put the papers on the table and I will report to the president when she

comes back.

As I was approaching the president’s desk... something strange attracted my

attention.

There was a pamphlet on the table. This scrapbook-like pamphlet laid there

opened. And the content was unbelievable. The information collected in it is

exactly… a lot of my photos.

Amused, sad, angry. In the scrapbook, there were photos of my various

expressions. Just like the president collection in my secretary room.

Unbelievable. Why did the president collect my photos?

It can’t be like this. Although this is what it seems to be, it can’t be like this… The

president collects my photos the same way I do?

My body temperature rose abruptly. My heart started to beat faster. Needless to

say, I must be all red now.

No way, no way, no way…If that’s the case, President, I…

I accidentally bumped into the table as I was shaking, and another book fell on the

floor due to the shock. I opened it up… It was also a scrapbook. And the person on

the photos inside was… Jabami Yumeko.

My brain nerves suddenly cooled to the point where I could think normally.

What the hell was I thinking? Now, I understand why the president collected

these photos to make a scrapbook.

She likes to look at things she can’t understand.

In other words, it is also one of her interests to look at various expressions of

people she finds interesting.

Although nobody could see me, I laughed a little.

What a fool I am. I misunderstood the president to have the same feelings I have

for her.

I just want to do my best for her. I don’t expect to understand her anymore.

I just want to stay by her side. As long as I can, I will…

Chak! The sound of the shutter.

I was shocked and looked to see what it was. When I turned back, the president

was standing there.

“Sayaka, your expression is very interesting.”

Now I get what just happened. This was a prank. These scrapbooks were only

prepared by the president to take a picture of my expression at the moment.

Although I already expected this, I couldn’t help but sigh. She really does

everything just to achieve her goals.

“This photo will be kept in the Sayaka Collection which I took the time to make,

Fufu~~. From now on, let me see more of your different expressions.”

Ah, president...

Just by staying with you, I can feel so much joy and happiness.

My lifetime dream has already been fulfilled, just to be able to stay by your side

like this.

-The end-

Momo Yaoyorozu Fluff Alphabet | Part 2 | Letters M-Z

Guys, I love her so much. This took awhile to finish but here it is! Read Part 1 here.

credit to creator of the fluff alphabet prompt list here

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

In a word…yes.

However, Momo never dreamed of marriage as a little girl nor did she ever feel like she needed marriage - or any relationship - to be happy. She has her family, friends, a fulfilling career, tea, and other passions (i.e advocacy, fundraising, etc.) to keep her busy.

Momo doesn’t date to get married or because she’s lonely or needs another person to feel complete. She dates you because she loves you. She marries you because she wants to spend the rest of her life with you. (Oh, and the legal benefits. One of which is that threats against spouses of various federal employees is a federal crime. Including pro heroes. Don’t fuck with Creati’s baby :) :) She will use every possible way to ruin a person’s life forever if they come after you.)

Basically, YOU make HER want to get married. And you bet your ass she’s gonna put a ring on that.

Forget about “stimulating the economy” and that trickle down economics bull shit. Momo is making your ring - a symbol of YOUR LOVE - herself, and only the best of the best for you. She spends hours researching designs, meanings of various gemstones, the durability of metals. All the “samples” she makes are a small fortune in and of herself.

When she proposes, Momo takes you to a botanical garden - the same one you both went to on one of your first dates. Literally rents the entire place out. While you walk around, you start to get nostalgic just as she hoped and reminisce.

Holding your hands, Momo talks about the first time she saw you, her favorite memories, how you’ve made her so happy. She tells you how you’ve changed her and helped her grow as a person, how everyday has been such a blessing.

Then she makes the ring, right then and there, for you. Softly, reverently, she asks, “Can we spend the rest of our days together like this?”

Marriage actually makes Momo much more comfortable with PDA. Whereas before she would only go as far holding your hand, now she presses loving kisses to your face and strokes your hair and is in general at least 20% more touchy. Marriage gives her a sense of security and - in a weird way - “propriety”. It’s one thing to lovey dovey with a datemate in public; it’s another to be affectionate with one’s spouse.

Oh, yeah. She loves the sound of it. Whenever your name comes up, it’s always “my spouse, y/n” or “y/n, my spouse”. It just makes her so giddy to say.

The feeling’s mutual of course. Anytime Creati is on TV, kicking ass or looking so pristine in an interview, you’re like:

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

Momo is full of sweet, doting nicknames: darling, my love, dear, dearest, beloved. These are usually accompanied by a kiss on your hand or temple.

All in private, though. You’d have to take her by surprise with a sudden visit to the office or it’d have to be an intensely emotional situation for Momo to call you those sweet names in public.

But Momo doesn’t need to call you a pet name in public for people to know who you are to her. Just the soft, almost reverent way she says your name - practically cooing it - says it all. Everyone knows that you’re her darling even if she doesn’t outright call you it in public.

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

Okay, so this is gonna be a little contradictory but…I see Momo as being both the most relaxed she’s ever been in her life and more focused than she’s ever been before.

You teach her that it’s okay to be herself and not this image of her “best self” she always has in her head. You make her feel safe enough to be let go of her perfectionism and accept her enough that she gradually drops one insecurity after another. She can be messy around you. She can be loud or quiet or giggly or grouchy or literally anything else. She’s just Momo with you.

Finally with some kind of outlet, the explicit permission to be free, it’s like watching an entire lifetime of tension slip away.

But….because you make her feel this, so happy and light and free, Momo is overwhelmed with gratitude and love that it kind of kicks itself in reverse. She has to be absolutely perfect for you.

And it can become a cycle. Not a great one, either. So please keep in check with each other and help balance yourselves out. Please. She just wants to make you the happiest person on earth which - in her view - is hard because you already do that for her.

Like I briefly touched on above and will even more so below, it’s Very Clear that Momo Yaoyorozu is in love. People who have known her for years have never seen her happier nor have her own colleagues ever seen her so…intense.

Because Momo has a very solid, very real reason to make it through missions waiting for her at home. She has a precious person to make the world a safer place for now. She was absolutely dedicated before but now? Now it’s personal.

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Given Momo’s upbringing, the answer to most of these is no. Definitely not. Not only is Momo shy about PDA but she was taught that doing so is disrespectful to people around you and even your significant other. Japanese etiquette only affirms this. The most you can expect from your girl is holding hands or linking arms while you walk around.

That doesn’t mean Momo stops touching you in public. In fact, sometimes it’s like she can’t keep her hands off you but her affection is expressed in small, subtle touches disguised as helpful gestures.

Tucking your hair behind your ear, straightening your collar, dabbing the corner of your mouth, brushing imaginary lint off your shoulder.

As for bragging…Momo doesn’t necessarily “brag” about you. But she does talk about you. A lot.

Out with a friend? “S/o said hi!” Doing paperwork? “S/o got me this pen.” Eating dinner with a colleague? “I should bring s/o here.”

Momo absolutely adores you. Even though she doesn’t go shouting this to the word, it shines in the little things.

The biggest giveaway? The way she looks at you with those bright, shining gray eyes.

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship. I just love this prompt for BNHA imagines.

Momo has a lot of secret talents that you’re always discovering at random. Her parents put a lot of thought and care into their only daughter’s upbringing, especially her education, and it shows. Your favorite so far?

Her dancing.

And it’s not like Ashido’s dancing or really many people your age. I am talking classical ballroom, mostly for the sake of those fancy banquets and soirees that the Yaoyorozus often attended. Momo knows how to elegantly through a ballroom as well as she does in the field.

But that’s not what you’re interested in. It’s the quiet, private part of your lives where’s it’s just the two of you in your home. No one else, no demanding tasks, no where to be. Just you and some lo-fi music.

Momo will gently take you in her arms and sway you around the room. And this is where you see her at her most relax, taking one of those skills hammered into her from a young age and just…letting go of all the rules. She makes it her own and just moves fluidly to the music, taking her with you.

Catch me when I swoon.

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Extremely romantic! Didn’t I tell you that she’s doting? And affectionate? And absolutely mesmerized by you?

And looord, does she know how to treat you.

As she grew up without want for any tangible object in the world, Momo is not a gift giver. Love, to her, is expressed in the time you spend with a person. This leads to fun weekend trips, surprise visits on lunch breaks, concerts, you name it.

Momo always finds a way of incorporating a little personal touch into the most cliché of clichés and making them entirely your own thing.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

You have been nothing but supportive of her pro hero career - one that demands so much from Momo and by extension your relationship with her. And Momo is READY to support you in any way she can.

This girl legit researches and creates an entire long term plan on how you can achieve your goal, whatever it may be. School-related? Hello, Momo-sensei. Fitness goal? She goes to the gym and exercise with you, encouraging you the entire way. Artistic goal? Oh, what a coincidence. That random gallery owner happens to be a friend of her mother’s!

You maaaay have to pace her a little bit. She believes in you wholeheartedly but needs to be reminded that they’re your goals and you’re the one working towards them. Not necessarily you and your enthusiastic girlfriend.

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Momo has a high risk job where people’s very lives are at stake. For god’s sake, she was thrown headfirst into danger in her first two weeks of high school with USJ incident and it’s just been one thing after another ever since.

Give her a routine. Give her that calming domestic bliss.

Seriously. It’s crucial for your relationship and Momo’s own mental health that she has some sort of routine with you. Routine is comforting; routine provides a sense of security and safety. For that, Momo sets some serious boundaries between her personal life - with you specifically - and work.

You won’t be going on skydiving dates or anything with Momo. But you will wish each other good night every night, whether you’re in each other’s arms in bed or phone when she’s away or even just text if she’s on a stakeout. It’s these little, consistent things that make your relationships so strong.

Understanding - How well do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Part of the way Momo shows her love is learning you and everything about you. She’s spent hours dedicated to studying and now she studies you. It’s likely that she knows you better than you know yourself.

She knows everything about you: your favorite food, your hobbies, your goals, where you were born, who your best friend in high school was, everything.

She collects every piece of information about you, always listening and observing, and holds it close to her heart.

That said…and don’t hate me for this…but Momo isn’t the most empathetic person. Of course she’s kind and caring and an overall lovely person. But she is a person who follows things by steps, who uses logical thinking to predict people. Sometimes she gets so wrapped up in her line of thinking that she…misses out on the emotional side.

You’re probably the more empathetic person in this relationship, trusting your instincts and just letting yourself feel out situations while Momo tries to think her way through them. Both have their pros and cons, and it honestly teaches each of you a lot about each other.

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Momo’s a busy woman. If she takes the time and energy to not only enter but maintain a relationship with you, you mean the absolute world to her.

And she reminds you of that every. single. day.

However…Momo is a selfless person. She gives a lot in the relationship and to you but to her, it’s not a necessity (close, though) but an indulgence. She sees herself as selfish for keeping you in her life, ever aware of the dangers of dating a high-ranking pro hero. She sometimes thinks of herself as selfish by staying with you, loving you, as she does.

Her worst fear is that you’ll suffer for her “selfishness” or be used against her in some way. Or worse still…that she’ll be forced into a situation where she’ll have to choose between you and her duty as a hero, between saving you or the public.

Even Momo doesn’t know which she would choose. She prays she’s never, ever put in the situation where she would have to make such a terrible choice.

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

You know that one cool couple who is always hosting fun get-togethers with friends? Like, there are all of these monthly hang outs and yearly traditions that literally everyone in the squad looks forward to every year?

That’s you guys.

Momo LOVES playing hostess and you know how to have fun. Seriously, you’ve expanded Momo’s world beyond posh banquets and afternoon tea and she adores you for it. You host regular hot pots. Movie nights. Brunches. Beach days. White elephant parties. Every year there’s a cake baking competition with a golden whisk as the prize along with a full 365 days of bragging rights. (Bakugo, who didn’t even want to come, won it last year and will die before giving it up. Nobody cares who wins the golden whisk next year as long as it’s not that gremlin.)

Y’all know how to throw a party.

Probably of one the best things about this relationship is that you’re not in a “couple only” bubble. You cherish your other relationships, and it shows in how you often include others in your lives. :)

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Doting. Doting is the exact word that comes to mind when I think of Momo and affection. Almost immediately after meeting you, Momo was just so achingly fond of you and those feelings simmered for loooong while before the confession finally happened.

Now she just can’t help herself.

If she’s not playing with your hair, she kissing your fingers. If she’s not doing that, she’s hugging you. If it isn’t a hug, it’s a full on cuddle session where she kisses your face and holds your hand and murmurs sweet affections and -

Yeah. Momo restrains herself in public to subtle, sweet gestures but once your alone? She makes up for lost time.

Her favorite is leaving soft, delicate kisses on your temple after tucking your hair behind your ear and whispering how much she adores you.

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Momo keeps incredibly focused and on task at work. But as soon as it gets quiet and she’s alone…she yearns. She pines. She sighs. And she video chats you.

She does a very good job of staying in touch and communicating when you’re separated for any reason. Like I mentioned above, Momo always wishes you good night. And good morning. No matter what.

Please send Momo encouraging texts throughout her long, hard day. Please send her cute pictures. Please tell her love just because and tell her you can’t wait to see her again. It’s those little things that get her through missing you.

On a more angsty note…Momo worries about you. A lot. She has actual nightmares about something bad happening to you - being held hostage for ransom, a villain looking to get revenge against Creati, you getting caught up in a random public attack and her being unable to save you. These nightmares are at their worst when she’s away from you. The longer the separation, the more vivid and terrible they are. There have been times that she’s called you in the middle of the night just to hear your voice - the only thing that can calm her pounding heart and soothe her enough to go back to sleep.

So while she keeps in close constant because she does miss you a lot, Momo also does so to give herself some peace of mind. She needs to know you’re okay.

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Y E S. Oh, my god, yes. Momo would do anything for you.

Sometimes, it honestly scares Momo how much she would do for you. She’s always been a dedicated person, a true perfectionist that approaches everything with well thought out strategy. She does things by steps. She’s the woman with a plan.

Then you came along and her whole universe imploded, forming a whole new one in the dust of her past and creating something new and unfamiliar and beautiful and terrifying.

So much so that even Momo doesn’t know her own limits anymore - not when it comes to you. She had lines before, boundaries, places she would not go. But with you? God only knows what she wouldn’t do for you.

Momo doesn’t like to linger too long on what kind of incredible, possibly terrible things she would do for you if pushed. But she promises herself that she’ll do everything in her power to keep it from coming to that.

#GetSorted challenge

#GetSorted from mbti-sorted

Okay, for interest’s sake I’m going to answer a few of these questions in writing. It’s almost midnight, we’ve been in COVID-19 lockdown for a while now and I don’t look camera ready.

Actually, that’s an excuse.

I would not go on camera even if there were no pandemic.

To everyone who does the video challenge, congratulations on your bravery.

So, here goes...

Tell us about a teacher or a coach who left a big impression on you. I had a longstanding EFSJ music teacher who would probably be considered charismatic, dominant, driven, hot-tempered, sometimes extremely funny. She emphasized repetition so that all her students had as close to perfect technique as possible. You were not allowed to have any input into her methods and students with a lot of opinions usually left or were asked to leave. She was very good at teaching the way she taught and for some students her methods worked particularly well. I learned that I did not like learning by repetition and did not retain as much that way. However, by subjugating my own preferences I was forced to address my weaknesses. Maybe it resulted in personal growth in terms of seeing the value of repetition in developing physical technique, muscle memory, and the memorization of music. I think it would have helped to also have combined the emphasis on repetition with explanations of the history and theory of the music in order to more fully understand and retain what I had learned. I also learned how to be self-effacing when I needed to be and not to insert ego or opinions where they were not wanted when I later had bosses with similar personality traits. I learned to be more selective and to actively try and put myself in long-term situations where I would be learning/working in the ways most conducive to me. Besides this learning experience, I had some really amazing science and English teachers in later years of high school and university. These were mostly ENTPs along with a few ENFPs and ENTJs. I found the ENTJs often had the most clear explanations for complex subjects. The best ENTP teachers were often very personally considerate and good at explaining things in ways that were easily understandable to me; I was good at synthesizing their ideas. The ENFPs were probably more smooth speakers and yet somewhat less easy to follow for me (they probably also addressed weakness in how I learned, for example, by not always explaining what they wanted super clearly beforehand; learning was a lot of trial and error; we did a lot of acting and oral presentations in class; Ne and Te make for a different way of thinking theoretically, of connecting ideas and facts).

What was your favourite subject in school and did you pursue it as a career? English and Chemistry. I pursued English in University and probably would have gone into Chemistry otherwise. However, I then realized I liked researching as an activity more than actually doing all that academic English involved and ended up studying and working in social sciences - somewhere I never considered when I was younger. A background in literature and writing is generally useful in the various jobs I’ve had though.

Do you have any athletic injuries and how did you get them? Yes, tendonitis from dancing (repetitive jumping and landing on the ball of the foot). This was as a child and it was not permanent.

Do you believe in any supernatural phenomena? No, but I can imagine a lot.

Tell us about a recurring conflict with a family member. Probably the most recent common recurring conflict revolves around being in a conversation with ‘a family member’ who is not listening and responding appropriately. For example, I am talking and ‘a family member’ to whom I am speaking responds by addressing something that takes on a totally different issue from that which I just referenced. Is the listening fine and the responding not? Is the listening poor and the responding good? Are both the listening and the responding off? Is my articulation poor? Is it mind manipulation?

What character do you identify with the most and why? The closest thing I’ve seen on screen is probably Caroline Turing in Person of Interest. Episode 23, Season 1 of POI features an INFJ actress playing something very close to an INFJ psychologist. Her mannerisms, speech patterns and interactions with her ISTP co-star (playing an ISTP former-military-guy-acting-as-a-patient-to-save-her-from-hitmen) are pretty realistic. Unfortunately, her real character, Samantha Groves aka Root, a serial killer for hire is only pretending to be Caroline Turing in order to gain access to the ISTP’s INTJ computer genius boss (played by an INTJ) and his AI surveillance system. So, the portrayal of this character only lasts for one episode.

How many languages do you speak? Is English your first language? If it isn’t, answer a question in your native language (please summarize it after in English!). Two. English (native speaker) and French.

What advice would you give to your younger self and what would they think of where you are now? Would you warn them about anything? Maybe just that what fields you enjoy studying in and working in may end up being different areas. In terms of having better job prospects, I might advise my younger self to study a subject like software engineering (which I didn’t have a lot of knowledge of or exposure to through our high school education system). That might be very useful in finding a fulfilling job now or in complementing the degree or field I went into. Also, I was extremely driven when I was younger and I would probably advise myself to take school more slowly, less courses at a time, more time to focus on course work, and generally to manage things in a way that resulted in less burnout.

Do you people-gather? (If you’re unsure, ask others in your group(s) if they’re there because of you.) How many groups do you belong to, and what do you think of this? Not so much for the people-gathering. I do not join a lot of groups. Usually, when I do, it is because I got dragged into it by someone charismatic and friendly. I often stay with the group for a relatively lengthy period. I end up feeling highly committed out of a sense of loyalty to the recruiter/group. At some point I end up leaving the group (often involves physically moving away to justify) and having a sense of extreme burnout when the mention of joining anything similar comes up.

Are you passionate about your career? Tell us about it. Sort of. I went into my career with the idea that I would have less chance of burnout if I went into something I was dispassionate about. For example, less interaction with people (using Fe) and more paperwork (using Ni and Ti). Some of my jobs have involved a lot of customer service and the use of Fe all day was overstimulating and emotionally draining. The best jobs so far involved working at a desk 9-5 and basically using a lot of Ni and Ti while organizing information in systems. This felt like meditating; I would achieve a zen-like state and feel energized afterwards. I would not say I was passionate about the nature of the work but the zen-like feeling was nice. In terms of being passionate, I think I might prefer a job that involved more of a research component. I think I would like to feel more challenged, to learn a lot of new things every day. However, I would not like to be in a career that feels too passionate for really long periods of time, or in a high-stress environment that would result in burnout. I would like more of a balance. You can always find hobbies you are passionate about on the side.

Which holiday brings you the least joy? Labour Day. The thought of going back to school or work ruins it.

Are you a heartbreaker or a heartbreak-ee? 50-50.

What is your dream car? Or if you aren’t into cars, what piece of technology do you dream of owning? I really like my laptop.

Would you rather make a lot of money at a job you hate or do a job you love that keeps you below the poverty line? I would rather have a job I love that keeps me below the poverty line because I don’t spend a lot. However, I would not like to have a job that keeps me way below the poverty line, because then I would feel used and would start to hate the job that kept me so much below the poverty line.

Do you collect anything? Other than information gathering, not really. The idea of accumulating large quantities of physical items and taking care of all of them sounds like a lot to think about or unnecessary stress.

Have you ever had any alternative career paths/life gameplans? Do you wish you had taken another path in retrospect? Sure. Chemistry or Software Engingeering looked interesting and probably would have helped in the job market, even in combination with the field I’m in. That way, my skills might have been more of a focus than personality, career-wise.

Do you have a good sense of direction? How do you navigate (when you can’t rely on GPS)? Do you navigate new places/buildings the same way you navigate your home town/familiar buildings? Is your sense of time better or worse than your sense of direction? No, I do not have a good sense of direction. Mbti-sorted is the only person I know whose sense of direction is worse than mine. And that only applies when walking somewhere. When driving somewhere, she has a better sense of direction. I am decent but not excellent with maps, professionally made and drawn by me. With a place I know well, I just walk around without thinking much. Usually it’s okay. Sometimes, I’m surprised to be lost in a place I thought familiar. With new places, I usually plan ahead. I study maps, bring them with me, compare the map with the physical reality around me for similarities and differences, get upset by perceived inaccuracies, visualize the layout of the land if the land and the map were flipped in different directions, try and detect logical patterns in street layouts and names, I try and remember locations of importance and what they look like, directions between key starting points and destinations, and I take down numbers for taxis in case of failure. Sometimes I walk new streets rather than drive in order to actively experience routes more slowly and have time to memorize them better. My sense of time is okay but not great. I feel the need to meet deadlines. I remember I used to rush to classes at the last minute for school, but I guess I did feel the need to get there on time. I have learned to avoid rushing, to be more responsible and set alarms and to carry a cell phone with a clock around with me to arrive on time and often early for important events. Probably my sense of time is better than my sense of direction.

Credit to Temple Grandin for this question: if I tell you to think of a church steeple, what’s happening inside your head? (You could also talk about a clock tower, or a water tower, or a minaret - something you are familiar with, but have less personal connection to works best.) I immediately thought of a white, aluminum sided cube topped by a black pyramid with light blue sky in the background. My mind was adverse to or somehow felt it unnecessary to think beyond that.

Would you be unable or unwilling to answer any of these questions? Which? No, in that I answered all the questions. I guess I did so in writing and was unwilling to answer them on video. I think you can almost always figure out how to phrase things in a way that is acceptable to you in writing. Yes, in as much as message is affected by medium.

C. ANSWER THESE THREE QUESTIONS (30 seconds):

How much preparation did you do before making this video? If you have an interviewer, did you pick the questions or did they? Who decided to do it that way? A bit / no interviewer / me

What type do you think you are? INFJ

In 1-3 adjectives, describe how you think others see you. Calm and conscientious (from collegues and acquaintances), scrappy (from family).

@silverflcme

When it came to her platoon it was not much of a secret that Eira had become close with Sera. They were of similar age and both women with something to prove to the world. There was a bond early on, but to think it would come to reveal something like this. After Sera finished speaking, and quiet hung in the air leaving little more than silent tears and vulnerable emotion, Eira could do little else but embrace them. It was instinctual more than it was a cognizant choice. It had happened before she realized it, but she knew it was a good thing to do. It wasn’t something she would fluster or regret over. She didn’t like seeing the strong stoic Sera she knew like this.

Hearing that pain. Seeing that pain. Tears build in her eyes as she tries to even begin to empathize with that pain. Eira had so many brothers, she had her parents, and an extended family to fall back on. Sera had nobody left outside of the knights which she very rarely conversed with. Even if their relationships weren’t tense or toxic she still saw signs of loneliness that echoed back to her time as someone who thought themselves too strong to ask for or accept much help.

“Sera, I… I had no idea. I’m so sorry.” She squeezes tighter, the warmth of her aura having been present for awhile now, a familiar flickering fire to ease and comfort the archer as she spilled and spilled of her past.

“Thank you. For telling me this, and trusting me to be someone you can talk to. It means a lot to me. But right now I want you to let those tears out, alright? And then, I want you to smile at me. You’re not alone anymore. We’ll be here to support you. I’ll be here to support you. I’m going to keep being someone you can rely on if you’ll let me. And not just as your captain, but as your friend and someone who cares about you.” She releases them from the hold, taking both of their hands in hers. “You’ll make them proud. I know you will. And I will help you do that.”

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a bow.

She was good at many things - but the bow was her namesake. The bow was something she had taken pride in. It was something the liked to think she was the best at doing; drawing the weapon, knocking an arrow, taking aim, and letting go. The arrow would fly from its release, and from there it would almost always strike her intended target, perhaps even landing a bullseye.

The girl was from a relatively small, quiet family. No brothers, no other sisters. A poor lifestyle, with not many funds to keep them aloft. Her mother was sickly, oftentimes being unable to work due to her conditions, so her Father had to take on many of the household duties himself while she had to rest, and occasionally help out when she was having a better day. The little girl knew that asking her father to spend a bit of his own hard-earned money, most of which went towards affording their home, their food, and the very small luxuries they had would have been too much. To the girl asked him for something else, instead. She asked him to help her find a job.

She was still far too young to find a steady job, and hadn’t even completed her studies yet... but seeing the determination on her face, he knew that saying no would disappoint her. If anything, he just wanted her to be happy and confident - so he asked an old friend of his is he could let her help out on his farm, taking care of the animals as well as dealing with some nasty pests. He agreed, and she eventually started working for him every day after her studies were finished. She eventually earned enough funds to afford a commission from a woodworker to craft her a bow that would last her a long time.

It was a shortbow of a unique make, a weapon that she used solely as a means of training practice. Every day after her studies, she would take to the open fields, set up some targets, and fire some practice arrows until she eventually lost the arrows in the woods or had felt satisfied with her progress throughout the day. Every day she’d set the targets further and further back, letting her arrow fly further and further to test her confidence with her progress.

She had dreams that one day she’ll be able to hit a bullseye from a mile away. But she knew that it was still a long time coming.

Around the time that she had finished her studies at her primary school, Sera had moved on to a far greater opportunity - education from a prestigious school which normally only taught gifted students, those who had put more than a hundred percent into their work ethic. She had hoped that, with this opportunity on her hands, she would be able to start earning more money to support her family, and perhaps, help find a cure for her mother’s ailments...

But unfortunately, that dream did not last long.

A few months after she left her home to attend this school, she had received a letter from her father telling her that her mother was incredibly sick. Worry impacted her studies, and by the grace of the dean, she was given an opportunity to return home to check on her mother -- but by the time she arrived back home, she found her father sobbing at her mother’s bedside - she had passed away in her sleep due to health complications. The sight alone devastated her, yet she could not bring herself to cry. Perhaps she knew this was a long time coming - this was an inevitable future. There was no way she would have been able to make enough money in time to support her mother. She had blinded herself with hope and, because of that, she had taken herself away from her mother before she even got the chance to properly say goodbye.

Her father had told her that it was okay - that she was at least happy that she could have gone to such a prestigious school, and that she was proud of her. But those words felt... empty, and unfulfilling. For when her father said this, his eyes were only full of sadness.

The girl was given a week to mourn, and the father’s own condition had not improved. He was often silent, often too reserved to do anything for himself- but in the presence of his daughter, he made a meek attempt to keep himself together to prevent her from worrying too much about him. ‘ Don’t worry about me, ‘ he would say, with a forced, fake smile. ‘ You need to return to school soon, after all. You have a bright future ahead of you. ‘ What a lie that was.

But eventually, she did go back to her college. She had since become much more reserved to herself. As outgoing as she once was (which already wasn’t much), she had now barely communicated with her peers past the occasional ‘hello’ and the more commonly uttered ‘sorry.’ She had been writing her father since that day, and had received a letter back at least once a month.

Halfway into her graduation year, however, she stopped receiving messages from him. She had wondered if they were going through at all - that maybe his messages were tucked away somewhere in the wrong inbox. Either way, she could not let that keep her from her studies. Between the busier days, she would distract herself from her studies and stress by performing archery again. The targets went further now. Over half a mile in distance, and she’s still able to hit her targets. She’s still pleased with herself, but help but feel like she was still missing something. Her mother used to be proud of her for striking so far, and her father often told her that with aim like that, the military would love to have her. But she never paid mind to it. She wanted a job that would secure them enough funds to give them a good life, after all.

Unfortunately, her mother passed away before she could fulfill that dream. A damn shame. But she didn’t let that stop her. In the end, she did graduate from her college - she was one of the top of her class, an honors student, one to be respected -- and yet, she still had barely been recognized by her peers, oftentimes for being so reserved. But that didn’t matter. She had her degree. She had proof of her merit. Now, she could return home and proclaim to her Father about her success, and surely, he would be proud of her.

When she arrived back home, she had called for her father, knocked on the door, but realized that there was no sound from inside, and that the door was locked. Luckily, she still had her own key, and used it to open the door. It wasn’t until she stepped inside and smelled a horrific stench that she knew something was awfully wrong.

She had to cover her nose and scour around the house for the source of the scent, but by the time she reached her mother and father’s bedroom, that’s when she saw it.

Her father, hung from the ceiling by a rope, with a chair kicked out from under him.

Most of what happened past that was a blur to her. All she could remember was screaming so loud that she felt her lungs metaphorically burst. She felt as though she had just been stabbed through the heart, and on the spot, she passed out.

When she woke up, she sobbed, she cried, she pleaded with whatever god was looking down at her and begged them to bring him back- but nothing answered. No one answered.

And she couldn’t just leave him like that. She had to bury him... with her mother.

So she did.

It was the most harrowing six hours of her life. She hates thinking back to it. She hates going back inside. She hates being here.

She wondered, briefly, if there was even any point at all to her success, if the reason for her success anyways were now six feet under.

She didn’t want her degree. She didn’t want the merit. She just wanted her family back. Frustration forced her out of her own house, and she took off for the city.

She wanted to die. She wanted to die so bad that she debated trailing off the path and jumping off of a cliff. But she remembered what her father told her, briefly before her mother passed away. That she would make a good soldier, if they would take her.

Yeah. Yeah, she would, she thought. She would absolutely make a good soldier. And if she died while working for them? That’d just be a bonus.

She was accepted almost immediately upon showing off her skills with a bow and arrow. The finalizing process of her position took some time, but she managed to make it work anyways - that did not mean that she was happy about it, though.

She was made to be a scout. Given her studies have taught her some minor forms of shadow magic, and her skills with a bow were near-incomparable to others, she was given the position such that she would be able to make the calls for her assigned party so that they would not face danger unaware.

Ironically, during most engagements, she had been instructed to serve in the backline. A position where she was, more often than not, the least likely to die.

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a bow. She dreamed that she could fire an arrow and strike a bullseye from a mile away.

And she did. That’s how she ended up with the knights of Lugnica.

Unfortunately, it was by no means what she wanted to become, when she was older.

... That is the story Sera confides into Eira now. And around the later half of the story, she is in tears, doing her damndest to control her own emotions because she can’t even remember the last time she cried. During no point while being around Bacchus, Trent, Arthur or even Raina did she ever speak about her past. Hell, it was considered a miracle to get her to speak at all. Perhaps it was her closed-off attitude that got Eira wanting to speak with her privately, and finally confiding to her what she had kept to herself for so, so long. She hadn’t realized it, but her fingers were clenching so hard into her own hand that her nails dug into her skin and made her bleed a bit. The thought of dying just to make her life seem worth it had made her start to shake, and it was likely around this point that Eira got close to her, and embraced her, and told her that she would be there to smile at her, and support her, and be there for her when she needed it most. As a captain. As a friend.

Hell, in a way... it almost felt like a second family.

She wanted her to smile - gods, how hard was it to force her lips into a smile? She couldn’t do it even if she wanted to fake it. No amount of smiling would make up for the pain she just released from its rusted old cage. Yet, despite that, she slowly turns her head to her Captain, closes her eyes, and bows her head down.

“ ... Thank you. “ It was the most quiet, sorrowful thanks that Sera had ever given. Were Eira not directly beside her, she likely would have missed it, herself. “ I can’t promise you I can let it all out. “ Even though she practically already was. “ That’s... just not me. I also can’t smile for you. My face hurts too much to do that. “ Her heart aches even more. “ But... I can promise you... I’ll do everything I can to protect you and the rest of our knights from harm. “

“ I don’t want to lose my family again. I’m sure you can.. understand that, right? “

She tucks her head down -- she feels tears drip from her cheeks and onto her lap, maybe even on Eira’s arms or shoulders. Either way - she felt like she had just unclipped a heavy anchor from her shoulders, tonight. It was a talk she desperately needed - a chance to let it all out after telling almost no one about it for the longest time.

Hell, growing up, she didn’t even have friends. She always kept to herself, always left conversations before they started. She liked it that way. It was better to avoid talking altogether if it meant she didn’t have to show people her pain.

But... showing someone for the first time felt incredibly therapeutic.

Maybe next time she goes out to practice her archery once more, instead of using her new knight-issued bow, she’ll take out ol’ reliable and see if she could shoot for two miles this time around.

She always seems to hit her target, after all.

April Horoscopes (2019)

Aries — The Sun is in your first, you feel reborn and ready to take on any challenge or obstacle that comes your way. Pisces Season probably had you feeling gloomy or hiding away from the world. Now you’re ready to put plans in action and confidently move forth. Chiron on your Ascendant will have you dealing with some wounds that you need to reflect on before tackling it. Nevertheless, you are still vibrant and filled with optimism as Venus enters Pisces, giving you the opportunities to express your love in an intimate and private setting. This is a time to come back from the hardships, to commend yourself for getting this far and to get those plans ready to take off, especially after April 16th when the shadow period in Mercury is finished. Your financials will experience highs and lows, so it would be best to analyze your risks before deciding to invest. The New Moon on the 5th will allow you to set some valuable intentions that should catapult you to new heights for the remainder of the year. Lucky for you, Jupiter is still in Sagittarius which means that there are plenty of opportunities especially in this month, so go and enjoy your birthday season, especially third decan Aries Suns.

Taurus — There is unfinished business for you as you continue to reflect on what your next goals are. With Uranus in your first, you are filled with creative ideas, your mind is bursting with interesting thoughts, too overwhelming to write or log all of them. Your confidence levels might fluctuate but with Venus forming a sextile to your Ascendant, you will feel relaxed and connecting with other people will be easier for you. April will be a good time to socialize and use your social media influences to boost those plans you already have in motion. Your dreams will become more vivid as the Sun blasts through your hidden house during this transit, another benefit for those creative Taurus folks involved in the arts, you’ll have even more ideas to add to your collection. To those who just needed an opportunity to rest, this is a good transit for it. With Mars entering Gemini, expect to feel a boost of energy as your hustler comes out full force. Money will be on your mind and you might even decide to splurge on some fancy things right before your birthday season. With Jupiter still in Sagittarius and going Retrograde on April 10th, you might be compelled to find more ways to profit or you’ll be paying off debts if you are not careful. The Mars and Jupiter opposition will be interesting.

Gemini — Aries Season will give you the drive and ego boost you deserve. This is the time for fun and socializing. With the Sun in Aries, you’ll be more willing to meet new people, use social media more and party. You will be able to feel relaxed after several months of confusion (thanks to Pisces Season) and uncertainty (looking at you, Capricorn Season). With Jupiter still in Sagittarius, you have been encountering a lot of interesting people that are changing your outlook on many things. Geminis are learning the value of having those good and reliable friends as well as the power of one to one connections. Some of you might even be longing to partner up or are understanding what you want in a partner. With Uranus in Taurus, you’ll be more reserved when it comes to spending and the tech world might not be as interesting to you now. You’re opting for more practical things. With the New Moon in Aries on the 5th, you’ll see how your close friends or even colleagues can help bump those goals you have. The power of connecting and preserving influential people will help you get to the top.

Cancer — The Sun is lighting your Career House, so expect a lot of work this month and if you are productive and efficient, the New Moon will give you that well deserved prize before the end of the year. You are focused and driven to achieve and succeed during this Cardinal month. You might think this means that you’ll just be all work and play but that is not the case. You will begin to meet a lot of influential and interesting people for the next six to seven years, thanks to Uranus in Taurus. This is the moment before the takeoff, as you get ready to make power moves for the next decade. The Full Moon in Libra on the 19th will allow you to put your focus on you and home matters as you take a bit pf a break from all the chaos. With Jupiter still in Sagittarius, you will continue to experience the pleasant work environment and have some fun with colleagues. You’ll be focused on some health matters but overall, this is a lucky moment for you since you will rarely feel sick. Saturn and Pluto continue to oppose your Ascendant but this only helps you get stronger and more focused for the next several years until both planets shift to the sign of Aquarius. This is a transit that will make you work harder but with times of pure joy and excitement.

Leo — The Lion radiates during any fire season. With Jupiter still in Sagittarius, you are living your best life, parties, meeting people and you are more creative than ever this transit. Everyone loves you and wants to be around you, but you didn’t need this transit to showcase that. However, fire energy makes you even more of a magnet. With Saturn and Pluto focused on getting your act together with responsibilities, it seems reasonable that Jupiter is making things bearable for you now. When Mars enters Gemini, you’ll benefit from socializing and living what it means to be grateful for every single day. Wonderful people will shine through the waves of people you meet, making you connect and form powerful bonds with them. With Venus in Pisces, you may decide to commit or empower the bonds you may have for someone are romantically involved with. This can be an intense transit for you, filled with deep emotions and joy after the sadness. The Sun in Aries will allow for you to take a nice trip to get away from any drama that may unfold with work related drama or hidden enemies.

Virgo — Love is in the air or you might feel a little more soothing and caring this transit as you begin to appreciate your romantic partner. With the Sun entering Aries you might receive some good or bad news regarding finances. Either you have to cut back on the spending or settle a debt, either way you will recover from that as soon as the New Moon clears out any problems on the 5th. Your home life will be pleasant with minimal drama as you may even contemplate on getting a bigger abode. With Uranus in Taurus, you might finally be able to have some fun and take a trip or enroll in higher education. This is a positive thing to do especially with Saturn and Pluto bringing you down and taking all the fun out of things. When Mars enters Gemini, expect a boost in your Career house as you accept the accolades but also experience more conflicts at work. Do not worry, you’ll be driven to fight and win, even if it means smiling at your enemies as you watch them self destruct with envy.

Libra — Aries Season allows for you to connect to others and to strengthen both friendships and your romantic relationship. For those in business relationships, this transit benefits you as well since it allows for you to shine and to fulfill whatever obstacles might be presented with ease. With Venus in Pisces, the rough patch at work begins to ease a bit and you even may begin to feel lethargic as you struggle to stay motivated and focused. Just because things may seem low key now does not mean you should slack off. With Uranus in Taurus, you have been feeling the upheaval relating to finances as you begin to struggle to find a balance. This is a great time to read up on these issues as you plan your next big move and settle your debts. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you seem energetic and more prone to communicate with others. This Season, expect some trips close by with someone you care for, either friend or beau. This will allow you to alleviate some of the tensions you may have been feeling earlier in the year. An opportunity may also present itself where you decide to embark on higher learning or make a move to stay abroad for a while as part of a longer trip. This could be work related or you may need to escape and feel happiness and pleasure with that special person in your life.

Scorpio — You will definitely feel Venus in Pisces as there is a shift in your mood and energy. You will be more inclined to focus on your needs and pursue projects you have been considering with a new outlook. For the creative Scorpio, especially artists and writers, this is a period of great inspiration as you will use the harmony you’re feeling inside to produce emotive pieces for others. With the Sun entering Aries, you’ll experience a boost of energy to further your projects and goals. Work or school will be quite an invigorating time, filled with excitement and praise from superiors. With Uranus in Taurus, you will encounter interesting people that will help inspire your creative side and will also allow you to grow and mature throughout the year. Pluto and Saturn may have brought a blockage to your communication patterns but now is the time for you to feel extremely expired. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you will see a boost in purchases, so be mindful of what you do with your finances, however, Aries Season might gift you with a nice boost in petty cash. Hopefully you filed your taxes! Expect some pleasant surprises this month especially after the Full Moon gives you peace of mind and answers to major questions that have been bugging you.

Sagittarius — I feel like this is your astrological year after all of the hardships and drama Saturn wreaked on your Ascendant a few years back. Now you can settle in and push through for the next few years as you fight to regain control of your ship. With the Sun in Aries, you continue to be the life of the party, cruising through with grace and glamorous as always. The Full Moon will empower your career House, giving you the extra pull to get what you want and the pull to succeed in your field. Career uncertainties may present themselves but you’ll have the answers you desire after the 19th. With Mars in Gemini, you’ll continue to be charismatic and charming as you meet even more people and take action to make business moves or establish lasting relationships. You will be driven and focused this year as you desperately pursue getting things done after feeling stopped for some time. Venus in Pisces will allow for you to bring peace and beauty to your surroundings. Home will be important as you aim to bring serenity and joy to the ones you love.

Capricorn — This year has been a doozy for Capricorns but with April here, you will see that some of your hard work has paid off. With Pluto and Saturn cozy on your Ascendant, you are experiencing the changes to your inner core. The self is transforming and your outlook on things have been drastically changing. With the Sun in fellow Cardinal sign Aries, your home will be the focus for you this transit. Any pending issues that are home related will be brought up but when the New Moon enters, you’ll find solutions. This is nice transit that will make you feel cozy and warm as you relax after dealing with the intensity of your season earlier this year. With Uranus in the sign of Taurus, you will see some interesting creative insights from the people you meet or books you read. This is a good time to step out and enjoy life, luckily Saturn is in a fellow Earth sign so you will not get that crazy but will still have some mellow fun. Mars will help you work even harder for what you have been eyeing at work and the results of your work will be felt after the Full Moon in Libra on the 19th. The effects will continue until the end of the year, so giddy up and get those coins and work hard. This pleasant Venus transit will allow for you to be visual and manifest things in your life that inspire beauty. Your words are loving and soothing and your mind will accept this much needed break.

Aquarius — Venus in Pisces will bring some nice financial stability during this transit unless you’re a compulsive spender. There might be a need to pamper yourself and others that you love. Do not get too carried away. With the Sun in the Sign of Aries you feel the energy as your mind becomes more vibrant and energized, ready to take on the challenges that await. This is a good moment to take short trips, reconnect with friends and update your blogs more periodically. You’ll be a social magnet this time around and for the remainder of the year as Jupiter in fiery Sagittarius gives you the confidence to stand out and inspire people with your ideas. Getting involved in social causes could be a major theme for you this year, so trips to help causes could actually be a thing for you or you can use the power of the internet to help speak for those who cannot. The Full Moon in the sign of Libra allows for your philosophical passions to take off. This could be more travel on the horizon or just connecting with higher minds. Starting college or wanting to work on a Masters or PhD could be something that you may flirt with this time around. With Mars entering Gemini, you’ll stand out even more and will be able to connect and relate to others. This is a very exciting and interesting time for you that will motivate you and help you establish career goals for the future or you could just have lots of fun.

Pisces — Venus is in your lovely sign, adding more allure to your persona. You will vibrate with Neptune’s energy and will be even more selfless and devoted during this transit to everyone around you. With the Sun in Aries, you will see an increase in possessions and you might feel confident in your worth. This is your moment to take a short break and recharge after Mercury has been doing a number on your Ascendant. Now that it is direct and will leave the shadow phase mid April, you will be able to settle the nervous energy and make sense to others. With the energy of the Full Moon, you will be able to gain more from finances or settle some troubling debt. Mars in Gemini will bring in some conflicts to your inner energy as well as your home but when the Moon in Libra makes an aspect to it, things will settle down. Don’t worry, this does not mean turmoil only that you will be restless and will want to make changes to interior decorating or even moving. Make sure not to make any rash decisions and to stay focused. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you will experience the abundance of joy when it comes to your career house or you might gain more fame. This can either make you excited or nervous, don’t worry, Jupiter will make things pleasant for you as long as you put in the work.

Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast: July 7 – 13, 2019

By Kelly M. Beard

The video version of this forecast, as read by Kelly, is available here.

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.

Weekly Forecast: July 7 – 13, 2019

7/7 ~ Mercury Retrograde in LEO Mercury is going to go backwards in Leo, asking us to review our creative projects and reconnect with the Heart. This is a chance to rewire your magnetics in a way that is deeply supported by it spending more time reviewing late Cancer. We are being asked to release childhood traumas & dramas, stop letting them color the present and start taking responsibility for our words, thoughts & deeds. This energy reminds us we cannot be superficial with no substance, beauty with no heart, love with no trust. This is also one of three times a year that we get to give our Mental Body a much-needed break. Yes, mechanical breakdowns & miscommunications abound, but conversing with your Soul Self, communing with your Invisible Team (Angels, Ancestors & Animal Spirit Guides) and more right-brain activities are much more supported, and often magical, with Mercury Retrograde. This feeds into all the Solstice/Eclipse advice I have already given to dedicate some time to self-care. The initial stop in Leo tells us that the Heart is involved and if it doesn’t “feel” right, it is best to hold off until it does. Obviously, you cannot stop the world for any retrograde, so the caveat with this one is to check, re-check, triple check the details and the bottom lines; thoroughly read through any contracts and don’t be shy about asking folks to clarify if you are still not clear. Usually, the attention to detail (and following your own instincts & intuition, which is also better supported at this time) will help you catch any mistakes before it is too late to correct them. That said, retrogrades, especially Mercury, are actually great for finishing projects (not necessarily starting them) and fixing or finally addressing something that has been on the back-burner. Finally, it is also recommended to take as many personal time-outs for some “me-time” as you possibly can throughout the Summer of 2019 because the Summer of 2020 is going to be something else entirely.

7/8 ~ Chiron Retrograde in ARIES Last year, Chiron took its last dip into Pisces for 50-years so for those of you born 1960-1968, you have now completed a very deep healing process, while those born 1968-1977 are being initiated. This retrograde is his first full retrograde in Aries and so we have all been put on notice, especially those with this placement. We can all consciously honor the healing, education & personal transformation that Chiron facilitates. Pisces taught us about sensitivity & boundary issues, being a spirit in human form. Now, in Aries, we are opening up to the new directive of self-healing, self-assembling & self-mastery going forward. Chiron is best known as the Wounded Healer, the aspect of Self that came in with a wound to address this lifetime and in your chart, it represents your *Healing & Educational Path* – it is all that you learn on the journey to wholeness & integration and the healing & education that results from that journey. This 5-month period is going to reveal where you’re at in your own process. This time is deeply supported for a personal inventory or inner review. You have to be willing to face the fears & hurts, accept the losses & defeats, and then get up, dust yourself off & try again. Chiron can help guide this process. It’s time to be brave & pioneering (clearly, the old ways no longer work), it’s time to follow our instincts (though first we may have to connect to them properly), it’s time to face challenges head-on, and remember that though we have to do for Self (be self-sufficient & self-contained), we do not have to do it alone. So this time is really going to support the evolution of the individual within the context of the community or their relationships. It is all connected, if one evolves (Self), the other (Relationship) has to evolve too (or dissolve & go away).

7/8 ~ Venus (relationships, love & money) ~sextile~ Uranus (clarity & inspiration): This energy, thanks to Uranus, activates a certain spark of electricity in the air. New relationships will have an unusual aspect to them and old ones can break-to-realign in a positive, even fun way with this energy. No monotonous routine, humdrum people or boring collaborations with this one. Use it to access your own unique genius and deep well of creativity and then share if you can, with other like-hearted Souls. Take advantage of this energy to tap into areas you may not have realized were available to you before now. Keep it light and upbeat; socialize and enjoy the experience of different people or new activities. Keep in mind, however, any relationships begun this week may not be based on qualities needed for long term survival. It is more of a time to enjoy the people and experiences that pass through and accept it as a gift!

7/8 ~ Mercury Rx (thoughts) ~conjunct~ Mars (energy): I have to preface this with two things: (1) is when Mercury is involved, it is a relatively fast-moving energy. (2) is when Mars is involved, being the lower version of power (Pluto being the Higher version), it reminds us that with power, also comes responsibility. Now, that all said, the positive expression of this energy is that you can control your mind and direct it with passion, getting tangible results. This heightens your intellectual ability and mental capacity (for better or worse). You will be able to clearly articulate your thoughts and you should have quick, effective responses. If you maintain your integrity, this is an excellent time to ‘fuel’ major creative expression. If this energy manifests its negative side, it can make you petty & combative, arguing over nonsense and wasting precious time & energy in ego control-dramas. And if it is not coming FROM you, it is just as possible to be coming AT you (from others). This is the best time to put your energy (Mars) behind your thoughts, ideas and words (Mercury) and get creative. The power of this pairing is that they are occupying the same space, essentially energizing each other and initiating a new 2-year cycle.

7/9 ~ Sun (core essential Self) ~oppose~ Saturn (physical limits & definition of reality): This is an annual process of development. The Sun makes it personal and about you the individual. Saturn helps move your timeline along and build the literal aspects of life, the basics of providing for yourself (food, shelter etc) and your own personal limitations. What renewed aspect of Self got activated about 6-months ago and how do you want that to fully develop over the next 6-months? This is a potent midpoint, the most powerful course-correcting time in any cycle, this one being an annual meeting between Sun & Saturn, a check-point between you and your responsibilities. Each year, you evolve, some years more consciously than others so this is a good time to check in with your own personal definitions of what you are or are no longer responsible for. Often, this energy activates a push-pull between who you are and who you want to be; between what you want to do and what you have to do. My age-old advice is to: do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do. And while it may not be the easiest path, it’s usually worth it for the peace of mind that it brings. You may swing between extremes of fulfilling all your obligations to the neglect of your own Truth & Purpose -or- neglecting your obligations and doing whatever you choose, which only means those obligations will be there when you get to them and they will have most likely increased by the time you do. Balance is the key! Practice, there is no perfection and it’s time to practice handling business before pleasure.

7/10 ~ Sun (authentic Self) ~trine~ Neptune (intuition): This energy triggers your idealistic, altruistic inclinations, but remember that help has to be invited. But if you have the energy to share & to spare, then dedicate your Self to something greater than you. Choose a cause to support or help those less fortunate for the sheer pleasure of giving. If your energy is low at this time, it may be better directed inward. If you can, take some extra time in intentional solitude, praying, meditating and connecting to Spirit this week, you will be rewarded with deep revelations & mystical discoveries within you. It’s a great time to do divinations, ritual or ceremony if you’re into that. Your intuition is heightened also, so pay attention to any ‘messages’ that come through or to you. Try to use this energy to reflect on where you are and dream a little about where you want to be, mentally, spiritually and physically in 6-months to a year from now.

7/11 ~ Mars (action) ~square~ Uranus (freedom): This is the “Rebel” energy – what’s your “cause”? If you are clear about your own authentic Truth & Purpose, then this energy is refreshing and uplifting. You acknowledge that change is necessary (and inevitable) and you co-create with this energy to transform your current life. This is a rebirth energy too and being “reborn” is never easy. Worth it – but not easy. However, if you are NOT clear about who you are and what you’re capable of, this energy shines a light on that aspect of your life which you instinctively already know needs an overhaul but for whatever reason you are still holding on to the old habits/patterns. Unwilling or unable to embrace change at this time, you only increase the feeling of being restricted by external energies. Your life is a direct reflection of what’s going on inside you. How’s it lookin’? Check your ego, recommit to your Truth and remember that change is GOOD! And if you don’t go voluntarily (read: consciously), then you’ll get dragged to the new level, kicking and screaming and you’ll be so exhausted when you get there that you may miss the beauty in evolving to that next level. (This IS what you’ve been working toward, correct?) Remember, conscious, effective action creates freedom.

Jennifer Schlichting

Animator + Illustrator https://www.jenniferschlichting.com/ Seattle, WA Age 32 She/Her

How did you get your start in motion design, animation, or whatever it is that you do?

I always knew I wanted to do something with computers and art. I've always loved drawing but didn't know how to marry the two. When I was 8, Toy Story came out and it immediately captured my imagination. As I grew older and realized what it took to create something like that I dreamed about working at Pixar one day. Long story short, I went to The Art Institutes of Minnesota and got a Bachelor's in Media Arts & Animation (which is now closed it was such a joke of a school). While I was there from 2007-2009 we had a few classes that dabbled in 3D Studio Max and Maya. I got to dive into 3D which was great, but it was such a painful user experience it put a huge damper on my desire to create 3D animation work of any kind.

After graduating in 2009 I moved back to my hometown in Iowa and had a hard time finding creative work of almost any kind (shocker, it's IOWA haha). I took a job as a bank teller to pay the bills and married my "high school sweetheart." A few years later I landed a job at one of Nordstrom's photo studios as a photo retoucher and lived in Photoshop all day making models and clothes look impossibly perfect. I also took the odd business card or logo design gig that came my way and fed my soul creatively by taking up painting with watercolor.

After six years in an abusive marriage, living paycheck to paycheck, having a toxic work environment, and my creative soul dying more every day I finally got up the guts to put an end to all of it. I divorced my husband, quit my job, and took everything that could fit in my SUV (including my cat) on a three day road trip across the country to move out to Seattle. I only knew a handful of people and had no job lined up, but I had a place to live for free for two months while I figured out what the heck I was going to do with my life next. That was enough for me.

I landed a contract job at Amazon doing basic graphic design work for the next 7 months and the pay was (just barely) enough to land my first studio apartment in Seattle. Knowing my contract would be coming to an end soon I was keeping my eye out for my next gig the entire time. Not knowing many people in Seattle (let alone the motion design community) made it really difficult to get in anywhere at first. I found a local Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D meetup group and started going every month to meet some of the community and pick their brains on how to break in. I started doing YouTube tutorials in my free time and revamping my portfolio.

One of the art directors at Amazon heard I was looking for my next gig and after she went through my portfolio with me she suggested that I read The 2 Hour Job Search. It gave great advice on how to get out of the black hole of submitting your job application online and never getting anywhere. I started going directly to people. My LinkedIn search began and the emails were flying out the door. I made a spreadsheet of all the studios in the greater Seattle area, what kind of work they did, the contacts I was making, what kind of jobs they were posting for, and got to work creating projects to put into my first reel since 2009.

People were slowly starting to respond to my emails and accepting my offers to buy them coffee. I met so many lovely and helpful people (and a couple oddballs too haha). I asked what kind of work they were doing, how long their contracts usually were, what it was like to do animation work all day every day, what they were getting paid, and how tailoring their reel got them in the door doing the work they want to do.

One guy I met up with in particular (while I didn't know at the beginning of the conversation) was looking for a motion design intern to bring onto their small but mighty agency. By the end of our conversation he offered me the position! He had a passion for teaching and he could tell I was hungry to learn. While it didn't pay much, and was only a couple days a week I was able to put "motion design intern" on my resume while also working part-time doing graphic design work for a shoe and apparel company. I had just turned 30 and accepted an intern position, but was so thankful for company that didn't discriminate against age!

A few months later I heard back from a corporate telecommunications company I had applied to several months prior. They were interested in starting up an internal studio instead of outsourcing out all their work to agencies in town. I would be the first full-time creative on the team and had to be a unicorn. I knew a little video editing, some storyboarding, some motion design, some graphic design, and that was enough for them to offer me the position.

Fast forward two years and the team has grown to 20+ people and I've done everything from t-shirt design, graphic design, motion design, video editing, storyboarding, and deck design for massive conferences. It's not always fun or exciting animation work, but it pays the bills and afforded me a house in the crazy Seattle market.

How do you balance your work with your personal life? How do the two influence each other?

There have definitely been times when there are late nights at work but they seem to be fewer and farther between now that the studio is more established and they are working through better processes. I'm in by 9am and leave by 5pm most days. Weekend work is rare. We get two weeks paid vacation each year (and more the longer you stay with the company) as well. There is definitely more fun animation work in Seattle than what I'm doing currently but it's nice to have a steady paycheck and have time for personal projects on the side.

State your privilege – What circumstances may have helped or hindered you along the way?

I'm a white female born into a Midwest middle class family in the United States. I have a Bachelor's degree which was paid for in-part by my parents but I carried student debt until 2018 (thanks to my abusive first marriage-my ex refused to work for several years and insisted his "business ideas" would make us millions one day). I got out of debt myself by pulling myself up by my own bootstraps. The college I went to was not a great one and have learned so much more on my own since graduating than I ever did in college. I went to college full-time and year-round to graduate faster while also holding down three part-time jobs to help pay for college. It also saved me a ton of money every month after moving in with my now husband and paying only partial rent in Seattle.

I've always had gumption and a stubborn, never-give-up attitude. I was taught at a young age that I had to take responsibility for myself and my future and took that seriously. My parents weren't thrilled I wanted to go to an art college (and they had two more kids to put through college as well) but made a deal if I wanted to go I had to pay my own way. They took out the loan for me, but I paid it all back. I didn't have any scholarships but I made it work. I think it helped that I attended community college for two years before I transferred to The Art Institute and that lowered the tuition bill because of all the general education classes I took beforehand.

If you are a caretaker, how do you arrange your life so that you can achieve your professional goals while being responsible for others, (parents, children, etc.)?

My husband was a package deal and came with twin 9-year-old boys. We have them for a full week every other week. I'm not going to lie – it's a lot, even having them for an entire week haha! My husband and I both work full time but he has more flexibility when it comes to start/end times for his day and working from home. He drops the boys off and picks them up from school/daycare/camps/appointments/swim lessons/ etc.

The weeks we don't have the boys we spend our nights and weekends taking care of housework and building our portfolios (he's a creative as well). We are also trying to be more aware of how we spend our time and shift more of it towards self-care and doing more fun things together vs. the never-ending "to-do" list all the time.

How have you learned to practice self-care? What do you do to take care of yourself?

This is something I'm still working on, haha! My husband does a great job reminding me to take time for myself, and we love to go out to eat, go to the beach, go for a hike, get massages, or paint and draw together. I've also recently swapped my hour+ commute to work where I would drive myself through Seattle traffic with now taking a corporate shuttle in. This has given me so much of my time back where I can read, draw on my iPad, or catch up on my favorite YouTubers.

I also love painting in my downtime (http://www.jenniferelizabethstudios.com/) which gives me a wonderful break from all the screen time and let's my hands do something tactile. There's no undo button with watercolors and I've accepted that and turned it into a more "zen-like experience" where I try not to control everything haha.

Just getting outside and into nature can be so refreshing. Even if it's a ten minute walk outside on my lunch break can do wonders for my mood. That, and getting 7-8 hrs of sleep/night! Oh, and making sure to take lunch breaks AWAY FROM MY DESK.

And snuggling with my purring cat never fails to make me feel better no matter what's going on in my life.

How do you define success? What would success look like for you?

Being happy and fulfilled with the life you're living. I've always liked the quote "Create a life you don't need a vacation from." Which, may be difficult to do but I think it's definitely something to aim towards.

Success isn't all dollar signs, but getting paid what I'm worth is definitely a win for me. Plus it's always nice being able to take people out to dinner and buy them nice Christmas presents. :)

On another note, I always feel successful when other people reach out wanting to chat and hear about my experience thus far. Whether it's people looking to shift gears slightly or change career tracks entirely it always makes me feel happy and successful when I can help someone out with any lessons or things I've learned along the way.

What advice do you have for those just starting out?

Take advantage of all the resources online! There was almost none of that ten years ago when I was starting out.

Don't be afraid to reach out to people. You never know where it'll lead. :)

Leave your ego at the door and don't be a jerk. Nobody wants to work with a jerk.

Never stop learning.

Look for jobs with titles other than "motion designer." Currently my title is "Communication Design Manager". LOL . Read the job descriptions to see if there will be animation work involved! Sometimes companies don't know what to call us.

MIKO’S YEARLY TAROT CARD READING FOR 2019.

With 2019 knocking at the door, we are looking ahead at what the year will bring.

Each year we get a new tarot card that lets us know what will be in store for us. The card tells us what to look out for and what we will be working on. It helps guide us in the months ahead as we continue on our journey to our higher self.

You find your yearly tarot card by adding up the month and day you were born plus 2019. The number will need to be 10 or under.

For example, my birthday is March 16th so my number would be 3 + 16 + 2019 which equals 2,038. I would then add up 2 + 0 + 3 + 8 to get 13 and add up 1+3 to get 4..

Whatever number you get is your personal mentor card for the next 12 months. Here are the descriptions of the cards and what they have in store of you.

1 or 10, THE MAGICIAN OR WHEEL OF FORTUNE:

You are full of many gifts. You are a jack-of-all-trades. You are gaining more skills and becoming good at many things. You are especially growing your skillful communication. You feel passionate about many areas but are not sure what direction to go in. This will be a year of taking all your skills and strengths and figuring out what you want to do. Staying in one place while you dabble in a few areas will no longer work. You want to go deeper in something more fulfilling. Spend time thinking about what direction you want to go in this year, invest in higher education, put in hours with a project and do not be afraid to choose something. You will have luck on your side as you dive into something new. You just need to decide what way to turn the wheel. Making strong choices will be theme for you this year.

2, THE HIGH PRIESTESS:

This will be a spiritual year for you. You will have many visions and powerful dreams that will give you insights to your higher self. You will grow deeper in your spirituality and find a personal meditation practice. Stay open this year to signs from your unconscious self. They will appear in dreams, music, and words from wise teachers. You will feel connected to religious symbols and art. Fill your home with things that enhance your psychic energies, whether that be crystals, an altar or a meditation pillow. Have a space where you can enhance your vibrations. Tapping into the spiritual realm will be the theme for you this year.

3, THE EMPRESS:

The Empress is one half of the polarity which is the Emperor and Empress. She represents a fertile, nurturing and loving energy. She is all about creating safety and nourishment for herself and those around her. This will be a year of taking care of yourself and nurturing your body. It will also be a year of loving people in your life, especially children. You will spend time connecting to your maternal or paternal nature. You will love your inner child as well as the children your life. It might be hard to connect to this energy if this is not your normal state. You might need the support of good friends or even a counselor to work through some blocks in this area. But it will be so worth it to learn to nourish yourself in this way. Unconditional love will be theme for you this year.

4, THE EMPEROR:

The Emperor is the other half of the Empress. Together they balance one another. We need the self love of the Empress in order to succeed as the Emperor. He is all about tapping into your leadership abilities and learning your own power. But if you lead without loving yourself and those around you, your leadership will be forceful and uninspired. This year will be about learning how to lead and how to step into your personal power. You have so much strength inside of you and are ready to take on big responsibilities. You might be stepping into a new role at work, starting your own business, or galvanizing your community. However it looks, you will take charge this year. Learning how best to do this will be your goal. Gaining wisdom from other loving and powerful leaders of the world will be part of your journey. Soak in the skills of those who lead with compassion and intelligence. Loving leadership will be the theme for you this year.

5, THE HEIROPHANT:

You are ready for a teacher this year. You are ready to question institutions that you once followed unscrupulously. You are ready to expand your mind and let go of any restraining forces in your life. Whether you go back to school or find a spiritual mentor to help on your new path, a teacher will enter your life in some way. You feel you have reached as high as you can get on your own and you need a guide to help take you to the next level. However, there are a few things to look out for when a new teacher enters your life. A true Hierophant never sells themselves to you, the Universe will put them in your path naturally. Trust your own intuition, if you feel uneasy about following a guide listen to that feeling. This will be an inspiring year full of opportunities to learn. So open your mind to the possibilities and use your own wisdom to guide a mentor to your life. Curiosity and intellectual pursuits will be the themes of the year.

6, THE LOVERS:

There is an innocence and trust that comes with this card. This is our heart before we have ever been hurt. It is our heart before we became overly cautious with our love. Under the energy of this card, we give our love freely to others. We feel whole in ourselves and are not looking for another person to fill us up. This year will be about reclaiming your heart. You will start to trust the Universe again and love without fear. You will work on what you are afraid of and let go of the past. You will give yourself deep respect. You will not be focused on finding a partner or fulfillment through outside sources. Instead, you will give love without needing something in return. This type of vibration will draw healthy and emotionally available people into your life. The Lovers card shows energy flowing freely. We do not stop its flow with our personal blocks and anxieties. The theme of this year will be love, acceptance and trust.

7, THE CHARIOT:

This card represents a year where you will benefit from all your hard work and personal growth. You have been struggling and pushing through challenging times. But you are now in a period where you will feel rewarded for your efforts. As a product of overcoming your challenges victoriously, there will now be some big changes in your life. These changes will be very beneficial to you and will lead you to more success. You are peace but you still have some armor on. You are going to protect your energy in ways you did not before. Much like the energy of the Magician or the Wheel of Fortune, you now need to decide what direction to go in. You have have a new path before you and luck is on your side. You will need to take all you learned and find what way to go. The Chariot is also associated with travel, so you might take a big trip this year. This will be a trip that will take much planning and will be a life-affirming adventure. Allowing yourself to take risks will be the theme of the year.

8, ADJUSTMENT:

This will be a year of reflecting and adjusting our personal behaviors. We need to evaluate where in our life we have stagnant energy, where we are not growing, and where we are not healthy. Take time this year to look at your habits and routines. Are you doing things that are not in line with where you want to go? If your circumstances or behaviors are not what you want, you can make a change. You can create more harmony in your life. You have control of your actions and can be more intentional. You will feel empowered this year to make adjustments to your routines. You will invest more in your health, wealth, and peace. You will feel ownership over your actions instead of blaming others. The theme of the year will be personal accountability and intentionality. You will end 2019 with much more balance.

9, THE HERMIT:

This will be a year of creativity, wisdom, and experience. You will grow all of these areas by spending time with yourself. You might go on a meditation retreat to travel somewhere alone. You will take long walks and journal about your experiences. You will spend time getting to know yourself on a deeper level and grow your hidden talents. This will be a year of finding your personal center and becoming very strong inside. You will find yourself saying no to plans with friends or family. This is not a bad thing, as you will be focusing on your own energy. At the end of the year, you will know yourself in a more complex way. You will have grown your creativity. It will not be a lonely time, but instead a time of deep reflection. You will dive into yourself and find out more than you have ever know. The theme of the year will be centering and personal exploration.

CUT ACROSS TO YOUR DESTINY

Dream (May 23,2020):

In my dream, I saw that I received an email from the school and the organization with which I applied for a scholarship. The letter that I received mentioned that I did not qualify for the scholarship. One thing that surprised me is that during that time, I happened to have a friend (a black American) who was with me and she is sad because I did not qualify for the scholarship (As of today, I don’t have a black American friend and I haven’t seen that person ever in my life…). Despite that, I received another email which is from a University with which I did not send any application, and the email mentioned that they wanted me and they are willing to admit me into the university. They have given me options such as being a student assistant and the like so that I can pursue my education in that university. And then, I found myself in a campus, I’m not familiar with the place. And then I saw young teens who are dressed like the old European costume. I then decided to go out of the University and take a walk. Suddenly, I get to a place where people (they look like European white) are celebrating – they are singing a Hebrew song and I hear that they mention about Yeshua Ha’ Mashiach. There were men who dressed themselves with hay during the celebration. Another group was also singing another song, this time they are singing in Ilocano. I can’t remember the song but I remembered that they are singing in Ilocano. I asked one of them if they know how to speak in Ilocano, they mentioned that they are just familiar with the song but they don’t know how to speak in Ilocano. After that, I just continued with my journey and after a long while I just realized that I went far already and I then need to go back to the University. I asked a young man and I could not understand what he was saying. Then I continued walking and I saw a catholic church and ask a young lady that just to be at the side of the building near the road. I asked her the way back to the University, she was giving me direction and the words that I can only remember and understand is the phrase ‘cut across’. After that I woke up.

As I looked into google for the meaning of ‘cut across’, it has given me five distinct meanings.

(1) to go straight from one side of an area to another instead of going around:

Yes, many times I tend to have detours in my faith-walk. I tend to do things my own way than to ask and wait on the Lord. There were instances that I tend to question Him regarding the incidents and even blame Him on the problem or heartaches that came my way. Rather than asking Him as to what are His purposes and as to what He is teaching me, I chose to be angry and to go even farther away from Him. It is only by His grace that I was able to get back to my knees before Him and be back into His arms.

This time the Lord is telling me not to take anymore detours as I used to. As He is redeeming the time, I should walk according to the straight path that He has set for me. That this time onwards, I should resolve to trust and obey Him. That I should learn to ask and wait on Him so that I would be able to fulfill His purposes for my life (Proverbs 3:5-6).

As I believe that the Lord has called me to be His mouthpiece in this generation, to nurture and teach the young ones on His statutes – the Lord is impressing in my heart to learn to be direct about His words. To not sugarcoat or tone down His Words so that people will accept it but rather give His Words as it is and trust the Holy Spirit to minister and work into the hearts of His people as His Words are released. There will come a time and the time is here wherein there are false prophets and teachers and people will just listen to such teachers that will teach or share words that are tickling to their ears. Yes, it easy to distinguish bad words from good words but it is not easy to distinguish almost good from good. In Luke 4:1-13, Satan used the Scriptures to deceive Jesus but Jesus countered it using the Word also. Further, this tells me that the enemy will also use the Word of God to deceive people. There are a lot of false teachers now that are using the Word from the bible to satisfy their motives but these WORDS/REVELATION does not come from the LORD. Indeed, it is not easy to see the difference between PURE HONEY and HONEY with SUGAR. The regular consumer or person cannot distinguish it right away. However, those who have tasted and have studied and scrutinized the PURE HONEY, those who have seen the PURE HONEY and have received it from the SOURCE, they are the one’s who can distinguish the difference about the PURE and the contaminated HONEY. The Lord is impressing in my heart to study His WORD and to seek Him always, so that I won’t be deceived by the enemy.

(2) To break through a particular barrier.

Prior to this dream, I had a not good encounter. I was on my regular schedule in my meeting with Lord, I was on my knees and asking the Lord to sharpen my ears in such a way that I could distinguish His voice from the enemy’ voice. During that time, I heard a voice that said ‘Don’t try me!’. That voice caused fear in my heart and with that, I was sure that the voice was not coming from the Lord. The next day, when I woke up, I was not really in the mood. I am not in the mood to worship the Lord; I was not even in the mood to spend time with Lord. I did not understand myself; I was not sure why I easily get irritated and that I easily fall down unto my fleshly desires. When it was time to spend time with the Lord, I asked the Lord to help me out and to forgive me of my sins. The next day, when I woke up from the dream, I was reminded not give in to my feelings but rise against it. I was reminded of the phrase by David ‘Bless the Lord my soul!’ and hence I looked into it in the bible.

a. Command your self to praise the Lord.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

Psalms 103:1

This verse shows us as to how David commanded himself to praise the Lord. In the same way, this encourages me to do the same. Yes, this reminds me that praising and worshipping the Lord should not be based on how I feel, on circumstance or on the people that surrounds me. This also reminds me to cut across with my emotions and that I should learn to praise and trust the Lord beyond how I feel.

b. Be reminded about the what the Lord has done

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits,

3 who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

5 who satisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalms 103:2-5

c. Be reminded of the characteristics of the Lord

The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9 He will not always chide,

nor will he keep his anger forever.

10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

13 As a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

14 For he knows our frame;[a]

he remembers that we are dust.

Psalms 103:8-14

d. Encourage others to bless the Name of the Lord as well

Bless the Lord, O you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his word,

obeying the voice of his word!

21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,

his ministers, who do his will!

22 Bless the Lord, all his works,

in all places of his dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psalms 103:20-22

(3) To affect or concern a number of different groups of persons or things:

To get to the purposes and ways of the Lord, it may come to a point that certain people will be affected (mostly close to me) but the Lord is reminding me to trust Him and to focus on Him. As with the call of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3), it cost him to leave his family and to bring his household to the place where the Lord has called him to be, in the same way it will cost me to leave my father’s family to go to places where the Lord has called me to minister. Yes, I should be just pitching my tent to places where the Lord will send me. Yes, the same with Abraham, the call that the Lord has with my life will somehow cost me some relationships and even my career goals. But, the same with Abraham, the Lord will enable and provide my needs according to His riches and purpose.

(4) to be contrary to ordinary procedure or limitations:

Yes, in this season, the Lord is doing something new. I may have some apprehensions about the promises and the call of the Lord of my life due to the situation now but the Lord has encouraged me that His promises and His words will surely come to pass. He will work not in the same way that He worked last season.

(5) to reach beyond something; to embrace a wide variety; to slice across a figurative boundary or barrier.

Pastor Ed, also has given a preliminary meaning about the dream. It concerns about the call of the Lord in my life, it speaks about how the Lord will use my profession in order for the ethnic teams here in the Philippines be connected to the other ethnic ministries in other nations. Personally, I can’t wrap my head around it yet. I still need to wait more on the Lord in this.

Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Meeting the wealthy is not that easy for most. The average person doesn’t mingle with the rich and famous, so the internet is the best option. However, you should keep in mind that it’s not the only option you have.

How to Meet a Rich Man Online

One of the biggest dilemmas for women is knowing where to meet a rich man. Wealthy men tend to attract wealthy women, or so people think. A millionaire man can offer the security that goes with a financially stable life. The thought of huge houses, impressive automobiles, and eating at the most elegant restaurants is alluring. Alas, there are many ways to meet the man of your dreams.

If you want to meet a millionaire, then you should go online and use a dating site. There are several that are primarily geared towards the sugar daddy search. Make sure you use a quality site that has plenty of men to browse. Remember, once you start communicating with someone, it’s not all about the money. The cash is just a perk. Like with any other man, you must build a relationship.

Dating apps are becoming increasingly popular because they reinvent traditional dating. By swiping left or right, you can choose the men you wish to find out more about. If they like your profile too, then you can start chatting. Select dating apps that have been around for a while and tend to draw a nice crowd. Look at how many members are on the site before slapping down money for a membership. You want to make sure they have plenty of fish to choose from, or you should move on to the next.

Lastly, you should utilize social media. Linked-in, Twitter, and Facebook are all great places to get to know a man before you ever exchange pleasantries. See their pictures and find out their passions. Additionally, it’s easier to talk over apps and chat rooms than it is to do so in person. You can feel open to express yourself however you see fit online. Online chatting is a great way to break the ice.

The Ten Hot Spots to Meet Rich Men

While the internet is a great option to find a rich husband, it’s not the only place you can look. No matter what part of the country you live in, there are always places where the rich come to work, play, worship, and hang out. So it’s up to you to find these locations. If you don’t know where to meet rich men, then here are ten hot spots:

1. Millionaire Clubs

A millionaire club is the best place to find a big fish. Because these are mostly secret venues, you must do your homework. They typically have weekend happenings as well as numerous parties. It can be rather difficult to get into such a place, and it may take some work. However, once you are in, then your opportunities to meet a rich man dramatically increase. Remember, millionaires, want an attractive lady that looks good on their arm. So you will need to make sure you are looking fabulous, and not just any dress will do.

Best Dating Sites To Find Rich Guys 2020

2. On the Golf Course

Best Dating Sites To Find Rich Guys 2019

It’s not a secret that most rich men love the pastime of golf. Playing a few holes at an elite course may give you access to some of the richest men around. Brush up on your strokes as guys love a woman that has an impressive swing. A little competition never hurt anyone. Mingling with the players will get you inside information, and you may be able to tap into a goldmine.

3. Matchmaking Services

Though it’s a popular theory that rich men want someone of equal class, it’s not true. Most wealthy people want someone to love them for who they are inside not what their bank account holds. Going through a millionaire matchmaking service allows them to pick someone that matches closely with their personality. Rich men want someone who will be loyal, is attractive and has a great attitude about life. Make sure you list all your good qualities to reel in a rich husband.

4. Auctions/Estate Sales

Where do you go to find antiques and property to add to your collection? Well, the best place is to an estate sale or auction. Most millionaires have a desire for the finer things, but they don’t want to pay top dollar. Being savvy is what keeps them financially wealthy. Even if you are just going to browse the inventory, it’s worth a quick trip to see what’s out there. You may strike gold and meet a rich man.

5. Charity Events

Best Dating App To Find Rich Guys

Many rich men are philanthropists too. You will often see them gathering at community fundraisers for hospitals and other notable charity events. Do some research and find out who’s on the board of directors and other elite donors that will show up. You can support a good cause and meet a good man too. Some of the plates for these events can be $250 and up. So make sure you have enough funds to reserve you a close spot.

6. Places of Worship

Everyone has core beliefs. Whether it’s going to a house of worship based on their upbringing or practicing some other form of faith, it’s a good place for you to start your journey to meet a rich man. A church is free to attend and an easy way to mingle with others. Another advantage would be to pick a place that has similar beliefs as yours and try to find a guy there. Being selective about beliefs ensures you will have much to talk about. If you wonder how to meet a rich man, then you may want to head to church this Sunday.

7. Spa Resorts

If you want to meet rich people, then you should head to an expensive spa. Even men love to be pampered and have a manicure and pedicure occasionally. They need to keep up their youthful appearance to look good for photo shoots, publicity stunts, and mingling with the public. Book yourself a spa getaway. You may be amazed at how many eligible bachelors are hanging out there.

8. Sports Bars

What goes better than football, booze, and women? The next big game will bring many elites to the pub for viewing. Most cities have a sports bar with ample televisions screens and great food. So regardless of the season, you should find a sport bringing them out for fun. Since they will be in a great mood, drinking heavily, and cheering for their favorite team, it’s a great time to cozy up beside them.

9. Luxury Car Dealerships

The more money a man has, the more vehicles he buys to prove it. You can almost guarantee that you will find millionaires hanging out in a luxury car lot. Look for dealerships that sell Bentley, Range Rover, BMW, and all the big names. While you may just be window shopping for cars, you may be surprised at what you bring home. Who knows, a guy may ask you to ride along for a test drive.

10. Place of Business

Last, but not least, the best place to meet a guy is at their place of business. If you are interested in the size of their bank account, then you can expect that most of their time will be spent at the office. If you want to get up-close-and-personal, then you need to get in their space. Get a job at their office, deliver something nice to them, or do business with their company. Whatever way you have to get your foot in the door, you should take advantage of it.

Ways to Get A Rich Man To Notice You

Whether you are working online or in person, you may wonder how to get a rich man to notice you. First, you must pay attention to every detail, even with the pictures you post online. For example, your hair means everything. Most guys love the beautiful hair, and the longer and shinier, the better. Have a stylist fix your do before you head to mingle with the wealthy or do any headshots.

Rich men love women who take care of their bodies and know how to dress. You must play the hand you were dealt, so if you’re at a party, then wear your best party dress. Never use too much makeup. Guys, even wealthy ones, want to see the real you. Bold colors and styles may be too much for some. Natural looking is always best.

You need to show him that you are unique and ultimately stand out from the rest. Show your confidence, never put yourself down, and always be eager to listen to what he has to say. Rich men are often eccentric and have over the top demands. You must adjust your life to accommodate theirs. Remember, with big money comes significant responsibilities.
